Three people were wounded before Ms. Aghdam turned the gun on herself and committed suicide. Some reports say that she was angry at a boyfriend who worked at YouTube; others say that she was unhappy that YouTube had demonetized her videos and choked her views on her channel.

FBI Conspiracy to Destroy General Flynn and Ultimately President Trump
FBI corruption has become all too obvious via Obama and Clinton allies, but worse yet, the hatred for our former National Security Advisor General Michael T. Flynn by the intelligence community and especially Andrew McCabe and his FBI cohorts is well known. Why? Because General Flynn knows Islamic extremists are growing in number, power and penetration into Western targets, he knows the government has minimized the actions of terrorists and sought to separate them from Islam, and he knows we have failed to grasp the enormity of the threat they pose against us. Flynn’s tremendous support of Donald J. Trump and his appointment to National Security Advisor made him the number one target. Link
The General also supported FBI Agent Robyn Gritz in her EEOC complaint against McCabe for sexual discrimination resulting in even more hostility against General Flynn.
John Guandolo, of Understanding the Threat spent 12 years as an FBI Agent. He says the primary Islamic advisors regarding the Islamic threat who are inside the White House, State Department, CIA, FBI, DHS, national security staffs, and others are Muslim Brotherhood (MB) operatives or Muslims ideologically aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood. They do the translating.
When valid information on Islamic terrorism is put out by anyone inside the DOJ, NSA, or DHS, it is either shredded or the person is fired. Philip Haney’s book, See Something, Say Nothing exposed this. The entire Muslim Brotherhood network led by the likes of The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), CAIR, Muslim American Society (MAS), and the US Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO) are the first to complain if anyone in US intelligence should utter the truth of Islam or stealth jihad.

Female Shooter at YouTube HQ is Dead, At Least 3 Others Wounded
(CNN) At least three people were wounded and the suspected shooter, a woman, was found dead on the campus of the YouTube headquarters, San Bruno, California, Police Chief Ed Barberini told reporters Tuesday.
The chief said the dead woman had an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The shooter is believed to have known at least one of the victims, two law enforcement officials told CNN.
A spokesman for Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, a level 1 trauma center, said the facility received three patients. One 36-year-old man was in critical condition, one 32-year-old woman was in serious condition and one 27-year-old woman was in fair condition…

SAN BRUNO, Calif. (KGO) — ABC7 News sources confirm the YouTube shooter was a user of the platform. Nasim Aghdam has an alleged website with a manifesto that targets YouTube for censorship and demonetization of her video content.
Aghdam is said to have no relationship with anyone in the YouTube facility.
Sources say Aghdam did not have an ID badge but was carrying a purse. Nobody in the facility knew who she was. They added that Aghdam got off 30 or 40 shots before turning the gun on herself.

The “Moderate” Muslim Scholar Industry
When I was new to the United States, a so-called “moderate” Muslim scholar pulled me aside and gave me some “friendly” words of advice:
“In the West, there is a trend unfolding. If you follow it, you will find great success, more than you can imagine. It is very easy, all you have to do is stick to a few simple rules. No matter what your personal views are, you must be a Muslim apologist — an apologist for radical Islam — and present yourself as a ‘moderate’ Muslim scholar. If you can accomplish this, they will lap it up. You will never want for anything again. You will easily gain wealth and become the most in-demand ‘moderate’ Muslim scholar in the West!”
It sounded reasonable enough. “As you have the advantage of being from the region,” he continued, “you will come across as authentic.”

YouTube Shooting: Suspect Dead: Multiple Casualties at Firm
(CBS SF) — A woman appears to have shot and injured multiple people at YouTube headquarters in San Bruno Tuesday afternoon before taking her own life, according to authorities.
The shooting happened at around 12:46 p.m. in an outdoor cafe on the grounds of the facility.
The woman believed to be the shooter was found dead. “We did locate a victim with what we believe to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” said San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini. “It’s a female, but the investigation is still ongoing before we can put all the pieces together.”
Barberini said officers encountered a chaotic situation when they arrived. “We did encounter one victim with an apparent gunshot wound towards the front of the business as we arrived,” he said. “Several minutes later while conducting a search of the premises, officers located a second individual with a gunshot wound that may have been self-inflicted.”
Barberni said two other victims were found several minutes later at an adjacent business.

Merkel’s Great Deception and the Destruction of Germany
One of Merkel’s famous quotes is “We can manage it!”, but what has she actually managed? If it is the deception of a large portion of over 82 million Germans, then her saying certainly holds true.
Crime is skyrocketing in Germany. In the city of Leipzig, rape has increased by 670 percent in just two years, and in Berlin, knife crime is on the rise, with an average of 7 attacks occurring every single day. On top of this, acid attacks across Germany are becoming more and more frequent. This has led to an unsettling feeling of apprehension among German nationals in public places.

A Retrospective Look at the Work WikiLeaks Made Possible as Assange Remains Silenced
Via Disobedient Media
An argument is only as good as the evidence it cites. For this reason, WikiLeaks embodies one the most significant information armories in existence. John Pilger spoke to this importance when he compared WikiLeaks with a mainstream press that he called nothing more than “state-stenography.” In the wake of news of Assange being cut off from the outside world by order of the Ecuadorian government, Pilger also wrote that the “silencing of Assange is the silencing of us all.”
After this author and other independent journalists, whistleblowers and friends of Assange took part in a ten-hour vigil to call for the journalist’s freedom of speech to be upheld under the banner #ReconnectJulian, many have continued to publicize the injustice of his inability to speak and have contact with the outside world on top of his ongoing arbitrary confinement.
As this writer previously noted, a topic of discussion during the online vigil centered on the irreplaceable impact WikiLeaks has had through the documentation of evidence of corruption and war-crimes. The consequences of WikiLeaks’ most well-known accomplishments cannot be overstated.

The media reported on an unspoken order, according to which the Dagestanis should not be drafted into the army

================
Wahhabism in Russia was not allowed to be banned
The Council of Muftis of Russia spoke against the initiative of the Interreligious Council of Russia to recognize Wahhabism as an extremist ideology, and the Wahhabi organizations as extremist.
http://www.interfax.ru/russia/606486
=================
Amazing country: threatens the whole world with nuclear ash, and a bunch of muftis can not send to Oimyakon (the pole of cold)
So Russia has the same p.c. problem as the West. I’ll bet China doesn’t. From what I read only Han Chinese are considered the real thing. As usual there’s a wiki for the Uyghur people in China. You’re probably familiar with the ‘stans where some of them live.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghurs
In Russia, they write a lot about Uighurs. Especially on Muslim resources.
It is very similar to what was done with Muslims in the USSR.
http://www.ibtimes.com/moscow-largest-muslim-city-europe-faithful-face-discrimination-public-authorities-2020858
In other words, same old ideology, different country.
As I wrote before, my father was a Soviet officer. At one time we lived in a Cossack village in the North Caucasus. There was no mosque in this village, but there was an Orthodox church. Despite the fact that under the USSR there were persecutions against religion. We had a multinational class, in which there were no interethnic problems because of a common secular basis.
In the village school we were taken from the military garrison by a special bus.
I faced the Muslim problem only once. Once we all went to a picnic with the whole class (under the guidance of the teacher). The fire was kindled and the potatoes were cooked in which meat canned meat was added. And then when we already ate everything, one boy became very angry. He learned that the canned food was with pork. I was very surprised, but the local people told me that he did not eat pork, because he was a Karachai national.
Islam was forbidden, but he slept quietly, like a snake in a den.
This comment is admirable. You speak of everyday things in your childhood in a way that opens our understanding to how very different your life experiences were from our own. There is a common thread in ours that isn’t in yours, and that makes your story shine.
A publicly secular life is a good thing since it seems to smooth everything over. Yet I also believe it flattens life. I don’t want to live in a theocracy, but an actively atheist culture has different problems…there is the photograph and there is the negative. Which is reality?
I’ve heard that Vladimir Lenin was also half Uyghur, thus possibility of some Islamic background. His face looks quiet Ughurish, but still I can’t be sure about the authenticity of the rumors. Maybe Elena knows more?
Can you provide a credible source for this claim about Saint Vladimir? “I’ve heard” isn’t enough.
Thanks.
There are no credible sources I know of. There are such rumors around me and apparently some Turks also saw Saint Vladimir as a Mongolian Saviour who will eradicate Russians from earth. This idiot for an example:

Thanks for your source.
I love the first part of that URL, “proletarianislam” Now there’s an oxymoron for you
Even though it was a Cossack village, we had a good school.
This school was taken not only by us, but also by the children of the researchers of the astrophysical Observatory, which was in the mountains.
We had good teachers – wives of officers and astrophysics with pedagogical education. My childhood feeling correlates with this Soviet cartoon, which was released when I was in the age of its main character.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mystery_of_the_Third_Planet
The late Soviet Union was pretty toothless. But stupid propaganda was also enough. For example, I once fell ill and at that time Brezhnev died. When I later came to school, my classmates told me that I was very lucky – I did not have to stand tall in the “honor guard” near his portrait in between lessons.
Here’s the wiki on the town where he was born. Look at the ethnicities listed:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulyanovsk#Ethnic_composition
Known model Vodyanova with Mordovian roots. This is the Finno-Ugric people
Russian nationalists call Lenin (Ulyanov) Jewish man Blank. Blank is the maiden name of his mother.
And yes, on the Volga the Finno-Ugric tribes used to live. They were non-malicious people and they voluntarily mixed up and assimilated with the Russians.
A little lower you gave a link to some very strange fantasy.
At the dawn of its existence, the Soviet government was very tolerant of Muslims, and then exiled everyone to the Gulag.
