John Walker Lindh is a
38-year-old white man who was born and raised in the United States. At 16, he converted to a Sunni Muslim and
moved to Yemen where he was trained by the Taliban. After meeting Osama Bin Laden, he agreed to
help the Taliban fight the Americans in Afghanistan. He was arrested in November 2001 and taken to
Mazar-E Sharif prison in Afghanistan. He
didn’t last long as on November 25, 2001, there was a prison uprising and he escaped. He was re-apprehended in the following
month and extradited to the United States for trial a couple months later. Although he was charged with conspiracy to
kill Americans, he pleaded guilty for lesser crimes so the more serious ones
would be dropped.
After negotiations were over in
the Judge T.S. Ellis III’s chambers, it was time to make it official. Lindh walked into the American court and the
judge said, “Mr. Lindh, do you know why you’re here today?”
“Yes your honor”
“I’m going to read the list of
charges against you, please tell me how you plead. Do you understand my direction?”
“Yes your honor”
“On the count of conspiracy to
murder US Nationals”
“Not guilty”
“On the count of conspiracy to
provide material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization”
“Not Guilty”
“On the count of providing
material support and resources to foreign terrorist organizations”
“Not Guilty”
“On the count of conspiracy to
provide material support and resources to Al Qaeda”
“Not Guilty”
“On the count of providing
material support and resources to Al Qaeda”
“Not Guilty”
“On the count of Conspiracy to
contribute services to Al Qaeda”
“Not Guilty”
“On the count of contributing
services to Al Qaeda”
“Not Guilty”
“On the count of conspiracy to
supply services to the Taliban”
“Not Guilty”
“On the count of supplying
services to the Taliban”
“Guilty”
“On the count of using,
carrying, and possessing firearms and destructive devices during crimes of
violence.”
“Guilty”
“You also waive any right for
you or your family to profit monetarily such as a book or movie deal from your
experience in Afghanistan and Yemen”
“Yes your honor”
“I sentence you to 20 years in
federal penitentiary.”
At this point, Lindh was 21
years old and he would be getting out when he was 41.
It is now 2019 and due to
President Trump’s new second chance legislation to let people out of jail for
smaller sentences, John Walker Lindh is going to be released from prison three
years earlier than he was supposed to be.
Although he was born in Maryland, moved to California when he was 10 and
then to Yemen when he was 16, he is now living in Terre Haute, Indiana. He smiles and says that Allah has blessed him
with an early release to finish the work of his mentor Osama Bin Laden. Rather than praise the man who set him free,
he constantly refers to President Trump as a bigot and xenophobic especially
against Muslims. He is set to leave
America where he plans to live in Ireland.
Abby and Nouno are sitting in
their home in Arizona when Abby comes across the story of John Walker
Lindh. Since Nouno is an avid Trump
supporter and a far-right objectivist, Abby is especially intrigued in this
case. Abby is a liberal but she
recognizes the danger that illegal immigrants pose to the country and is
against anyone that actively rapes and murders in the United States but the
courts don’t want to prosecute for political reasons. She and Nouno go around the country
correcting this by removing undesirables from the populace. Abby calls out, “I got a case.”
“Alright, where are we going?”
“Terre Haute, Indiana”
“Ah, we’re going back to where
you went to college.”
“It’s 85 miles away from
Indianapolis”
“That’s not that far”
“It’s the same distance as like
Chicago and Milwaukee and they’re in different states”
“That’s not much of an argument
but fine”
“That’s actually why I wanted to
do this one. I don’t want this asshole
hurting people that were so good to me for four years of my life.”
“Alright so who is it?”
“His name is John Walker
Lindh. He was born in America but joined
the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden’s terrorist network when he was 16. He was just released from jail. He had 10 counts against him but the judge
reduced it to two if he pled guilty to those two.”
“Why was he released?” he asked
fearing he already knew the answer
“That new bill your president
passed” Abby said with a wide grin and turn of her head
Nouno nodded and replied, “Yea,
I thought that you’d say that.”
“Alright, let’s go”
Abby and Nouno bought tickets
for two weeks from then and flew to Indiana.
Nouno was checking his phone at the gate and said, “Google banned the
Project Veritas video”
“What’s that?”
“Project Veritas got a senior
executive on camera talking about how Google changed their algorithms to
discriminate against conservatives and try to stop Trump from becoming being
reelected in 2020. Said that’s why
Google can’t be broken up like Elizabeth Warren said, because small companies
don’t have the resources to stop Trump but they do.”
“The FBI, DOJ, Republicans,
Democrats, Russians and the Ukrainians couldn’t stop Trump in 2016, but Google
has more resources than they do?”
“You know what, I’m not quite
sure they don’t”
“So what, he made a video”
“The woman actually named
conservatives they ban. They included
Dave Rubin”
“Who’s that?”
“He does PragerU videos. He considers himself a liberal but he says
that the left ruined liberalism but that doesn’t mean he’s going to stop
calling himself it because he is a classical liberal and the left can’t take
that away from him.”
“So he doesn’t think he’s a
conservative?”
“Remember Raegan said he didn’t
leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic party left him. Dave Rubin was the same way.”
“So what is the difference
between Dave Rubin and what we 20 somethings think of liberal?”
Nouno was 35 but he knew history
so could answer these questions. He
explained, “Short answer is a ‘Kennedy Democrat’ but if you want specifics.
I’ll break it down the way Dennis Prager does.
Six examples. I’ll leave out the
left’s point of view because you know it all too well 1) Race: liberals believe
race is insignificant and the people who believe race is significant are
racist. Liberals want racial integration
so are against all black dorms and all black graduation. 2) Liberals are pro-capitalist but want
government to have a bigger role than conservatives but hate socialism. 3)
Nationalism: Liberal believe in the nation state and are nationalist, which is
why they support borders. 4) Pro-America and patriotic. 5) Free speech, they commonly say that they
wholly disagree with what you say but they will fight to the death for your
right to say it. 6) Western
Civilization, liberals believe that it is the best in the world and teach it. They also believe in protecting Christian
civilization.”
“Okay, so they’re basically
conservatives”
“Only to a leftist like you”
“So why don’t they call
themselves conservatives now?”
“They’ve always been taught to
fear the right, so now they’re kind of stuck in between without a home. Dave Rubin, however, is constantly asked by
conservatives to just admit that his view of liberalism is dead and now his
views are conservative but, like I said, he refuses.”
“Alright, so I’ll call him what
he won’t. He’s a conservative”
“It’s funny that Google banned
him when he doesn’t consider himself a conservative. Just shows how far the left has strayed from
classical liberalism”
“Alright, so how has Google
banned the video?”
“Google owns YouTube and YouTube
banned the video from their website.”
“Well, why would they want a video
that bashes them?”
“Because that’s the essence of
free speech. Remember my definition of
classical liberalism, I disagree with what you say but you have a right to say
it.”
“Not if it’s hate speech”
“You’re definition of ‘hate
speech’ is anything that you disagree with.”
“Whatever”
“No, not whatever. I actually agree with you more than you
think. Google is a private company; they
can discriminate against whoever they want.
They, however, need to admit that they’re publishers and not platforms
and not protected by the Communication and Decency Act 230. Let them be sued if they unfairly
discriminate just like any other organization.”
“So, you think the government
should stop them from banning videos like this?”
“No, I think it’s a good thing
that they banned the video”
“Why?”
“The Streisand effect”
“Oh, is this that shit that
people like the forbidden so forbidding it makes people curious as to why it’s
forbidden”
“Yup. It brings intrigue. Why was it banned? You know if I tell you not to push a button,
what do you want to do?”
“You’ve explained it before but
I don’t know. If you can’t see it in the
number one place to see videos, how are you going to see it?”
“Yea, if you can’t find it on
YouTube, it’s impossible to find it.” Nouno retorted with heavy sarcasm
“Google is going to block it
from searching too”
“So use bing. Follow Project Veritas on Twitter. Go to conservative websites that have links
to their websites that still have the video.
You know where there’s a will there’s a way, especially with finding
forbidden videos on the internet.”
“We’ll see”
“Well, it already had a million
views in under 24 hours up on YouTube and those people are tweeting it out so
yea I think it’s already happening.”
Abby looked through her phone and
offered, “Let’s change the subject. Why
don’t you see how kids are being tortured at the border” and shows him a
picture of kids in aluminum blankets sleeping on the floor of a detention
center.
What Abby didn’t know is that
Nouno had seen this picture before. He
grinned and declared, “This picture has been doctored. Where’d you get it?”
“An actress posted it”
“Oh, well here’s the undoctored
picture” as he pulled it up on her phone and handed it back. Abby looked at her phone and frowned as the
only difference was the inclusion of a time stamp. The time stamp read ‘8/19/15’ She gave him a
dirty look. Abby knew what was coming
and Nouno opened his lips and produced the following words, “Who was president
on 8/19/15?”
“Look at what we do in our spare
time. I mean we take care of the violent
and malicious illegal aliens so you can’t say that having them sleep on floors
is torturous. That’s kind of
hypocritical considering what we do.”
“This is the problem with you
liberals, you have no principles. When
you thought it was a recent picture, then it was torture and horrendous but
when you find out it was Obama’s term, then there’s no problem. See, conservatives values don’t change no
matter who is president.”
“You are okay with anything
Trump does.”
“What are you talking
about? This mission is a direct result
of a bad idea of President Trump’s. He
doesn’t understand that the crime you’re convicted of isn’t necessarily the
crime you were charged with. Plea deals
happen all the time to save time and money with prosecution but the sentences
are a little more severe than they would have been with the crime they pled
guilty too because they know what else they allegedly did. So saying, ‘oh well it was just this
misdemeanor’ is meaningless. It’s like
if you look at statistics of how many people get tickets for going six over the
speed limit. There’s a five mile per
hour buffer so the least amount you can get a ticket for is six miles per hour
over the speed limit. It’s not that the
cop was an asshole, it’s usually that the cop caught you going like 25 over but
didn’t want you to lose your license or show up to court so they just give you
a ticket for six. It goes on your
record, you pay a fine but you’re less likely to take him to court because he
let you keep your license when it was in his right to try to take it from you.”
“Or, there’s that many instances
that the cop was an asshole”
“Well, I got a ticket for six
over when I was going much more than that so I have personal experience of this
happening.”
“You’re an exception”
“Oh okay” Nouno stated with
obvious sarcasm.
They landed and Abby said, “No
need to canvass, I know the area. I
already know where we’re staying and what crematorium we’re going to use to
cover it up. I actually know the owners
so instead of breaking in; they’re going to give me the key.”
“I thought we weren’t close to
where you went to school.”
“We’re not”
“Yet you know the area”
“So, I travelled around
Indiana. What’s wrong with that?”
“Nothing, I actually think you
should do that.”
Abby and Nouno check into their
motel and then go to a bar. Nouno got up
to get a drink and John Lindh approaches and sits down next to Abby. Abby recognizes him but doesn’t lead on. She turns to him and pronounces, “Hey, I’m
Abby” in a charming Barbie doll voice.
John gives her a stern look and
snickers. Abby is used to men melting
when she uses that voice and mannerism and is a little surprised how little
affect it had on John. The smile leaves
her voice and she nods and looks away. Abby
hears, “Infidel” and snaps her had back with a disgusted look and exclaims,
“What did you say?”
“You’re an infidel. Look at how much skin you’re showing. You’re hair is exposed, your shorts barely
cover your thighs and your shirt bares your arms. You distract men from making civilized
society work. You dress like that,
spread your legs, have sex with a man and you have the audacity to try to
prosecute them. You’re asking to be raped;
you can’t blame a man for taking you up on the offer.”
Abby’s eyes were wide in shock
at what he just said. She had to remind
herself what they were here for and there would be revenge but right now, she
had to act normal. She cried out, “Fuck
you asshole”
“Don’t get mad at me. That woman that is accusing the president of
rape said it herself. Women think rape
is sexy. You all have rape fantasies so
it’s not bad or a crime. Don’t give me
that look, Jean Carroll said it not me.”
“There’s a reason that CNN cut
to commercial after she said that.”
“To shield people from the
truth?”
“No, because it’s
ridiculous. Rape has ruined women’s
lives. Some never recover mentally. Those rape fantasies are done with men they
trust. They don’t want it to happen from someone that they aren’t supremely
comfortable with. What she said was
asinine and shouldn’t be entertained in polite conversation.”
“Infidel, you are not worthy to
talk to me. I’ve complemented you by
allowing you to speak to me and all you show me is disrespect. I’m revoking your privilege of talking to
me.”
“Oh, you want to see
disrespect?” Abby countered by grabbing the beer that Nouno just brought for
her and throwing it in John’s face.
Now it was John’s turn to have a
look of disgust on his face. He got up
and raised his hand as he stared at a smug looking Abby. Nouno put his drink down and stepped in
between John and Abby and advised, “Trust me, you don’t want to do that.”
“You better control your woman”
“You should walk away from my
woman. Whatever you said to make her do
that means you are lucky that I wasn’t here to hear you say it because I’d do
much worse.”
John walked away and Nouno
looked at Abby and she inquired, “Did you realize that’s our target?”
“No, you know I suck at faces”
“Well, that’s him”
“Oh good, so apparently this is
going to be a little personal too.”
“Oh yea, that piece of shit told
me that I deserve to be raped because of how I’m dressed.”
“Yea, definitely personal”
Nouno decided to wait a couple
days to cool down before executing the plan.
It was easier to target John because he isolated himself from
society. Presumably looking at everyone
as infidels. As he was coming back from
the mosque, Nouno walked towards him and John averted his eyes. There was no recognition when Nouno jammed a
syringe into his neck knocking him unconscious.
They threw him in the trunk of their car and drove to the motel that
they prepared for John Lindh.
Lindh woke up to see Nouno and
Abby standing over him. Nouno asked,
“You know, if you’re a devout Muslim, why were you at the bar? You don’t drink.”
“I like putting slutty Americans
in their place. They think they’re so
special and wear buckets of make up to distract men. Knocking them down a peg excites me. It’s so easy to crush their spirit and self
esteem.”
Abby could barely contain
herself and slapped him across the face.
John’s eyes filled with rage as they widened and glared at her and said,
“You dare strike me whore”
Abby was already bare foot and
she raised her right foot and placed it in his mouth pulling down on his
jaw. She smiled as he struggled
realizing that he couldn’t resist with the plastic. Abby chuckled and declared, “How degrading it
is to have an infidel’s bare foot in your mouth. You should kiss my feet terrorist. You are worth less than the dirt on my
perfectly pedicured feet.”
Nouno interceded with, “If she
takes her foot out of your mouth, do you promise you’ll stop addressing her and
only talk to me?”
John nodded his head and Abby
reluctantly dropped her leg. John
coughed violently and Nouno explained, “You know those eight counts that were
dropped in your court case in 2002?”
John stopped coughing and said,
“Yes”
“Well, the punishment for being
convicted of those crimes is life in prison.
Since, we now know that certain politicians let the scum of society out
of jail; I think I’m just going to sentence you to death for them.”
“I was 16 when that happened”
“In 2002, when the case
happened, you were 21”
“Are you suggesting you never
did anything stupid when you were 21?”
“Oh I definitely did but our
little rendezvous in the bar makes me realize you haven’t repented or been
rehabilitated.”
“You think that because someone
pleads guilty, they can’t be retried?”
“No, I’m retrying you now”
“This is America; you can’t be
judge jury and executioner.”
“Ah, but your culture you
can. You renounced your American
citizenship when you joined the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden, so now we’re
trying you under Yemen and Afghanistan tradition.”
“At least you’re not a
hypocrite. I was going to bring up your
General Flynn who is back in court about what he pled guilty for.”
“Yea but it’s not for the more
serious crimes they went after him for.
They threatened his kids.
Something that you terrorists also do.”
“Well, he’s a dumb
American. Picking a woman to be his
lawyer.”
“Sidney Powell is actually doing
a good job. She got the judge and the
government to admit that they didn’t hand over all the information about how
and why they had transcripts of Mike Flynn’s phone call with Kislyak”
“They were monitoring Kislyak
and they unmasked Mike Flynn. It’s not
complicated. They had the transcript
because they were spying on the Russian ambassador.”
“But two years ago when Senator
Lindsey Graham was interviewing Director of National Intelligence Jim Clapper
and former Attorney General Sally Yates he asked them straight up if they had
documentation of Flynn being unmasked.
Yates claimed it was classified but Clapper said he didn’t know of any
but that usually when you unmask someone, you have to get a 702 but he had no
knowledge of if there was one for Flynn.
Given his position, he should know.”
“You’re saying that they didn’t
unmask?”
“I’m saying that they had
Flynn under surveillance and they were wire tapping him. That’s why they have transcripts of other
conversations he had. The DOJ lied.”
“Any proof of that besides
intelligence people who dodged a question?”
“On the same day of this
hearing, FBI investigator Peter Strzok texted his mistress Lisa Page ‘Fuck
Clapper and Yates for saying incorrect narratives to congress’”
“I would say that could mean
anything but that Strzok really gave up way too much information on those
texts. He needs to learn to keep his
anger in check. It seems a little too
convenient though that all these texts can be so damning.”
“Women do make men do stupid
things.”
John didn’t know if that was
said to mock him or not but he wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction. He instead burst out, “Strzok is a
disgrace. He was unfaithful to his
wife.”
Nouno thought that monogamy was
a Christian ideal but wasn’t sure enough to debate that with John. He took out his knife and put it to John’s
throat and calmly stated, “Apologize to my wife, because right now I want to
jam this knife into your sternum”
“John turned to Abby and thought
to point out that Nouno said he didn’t have to talk to her. He wasn’t ready to die so he said, “I’m
sorry”
Abby put on lipstick and bent
over John. Nouno removed the knife from
John’s throat and hovered it over his chest but John’s eyes were on Abby. Nouno and Abby didn’t plan this but they knew
exactly what was going to happen next.
Abby kissed John on the forehead and uttered, “Thanks for the apology
but…” She grabbed the knife and Nouno and Abby lunged it down together into
John’s sternum and Abby continued, “It’s not good enough. Now it is you who has makeup on and you will
die with makeup on” referring to the lip mark Abby’s lipstick made on his
forehead.
Nouno nodded his head and
opined, “Well, that’s our first ‘kiss of death’”
Abby laughed and they wrapped
John’s body and cleaned the room. They
brought John’s body to the crematorium and Abby used her key to open it. They disposed of the body and headed out
after clearing out the bones as they don’t burn. Abby and Nouno hung out in
Indiana for a couple more days and Abby went to Indianapolis to go around her
old campus and check out some of the restaurants she enjoyed as a college
student. Normally Nouno liked leaving an
area as quickly as they could after murdering someone but Abby was in
charge. He wondered if carelessness like
this would get them caught eventually.
Still though, they got on the plane with no incident. Walking around her alma mater made Abby think
of her massive student loan debt. She
inquired, “You think that the rich will
mind paying all these taxes to wipe out student loans?”
“Yes, and it won’t just be them,
it’ll be everyone. It will cripple the
economy”
“But all those Uber-rich people
in California and New York always say they don’t mind paying more in taxes”
“They lie because voluntary
taxes only amounts to 12 million dollars.
My friend’s grandfather told me that he wouldn’t mind paying a million
dollars more in taxes so that’s one twelfth of the whole country combined”
“Did he do it?”
“I seriously doubt it but that’s
my point they’re all talk.”
“Yea but what if you’re wrong.”
“Well, do you think it’s any
coincidence that the two states you mentioned are the only two states losing
population in the nation? It’s because
of high taxes and the business environment getting worse with more and more
Democrats in power.”
“People leave states for many
reasons”
“Yet 48 of them are increasing
in population and only two are losing.
Look at it this way, 46% of the people leaving are in the top income
bracket and make more than $ 150,000 a year.
You really think it’s just they found a job elsewhere or other factors? I mean, almost half are really rich
people. Why leave if you’re making so
much money?”
“Yea, they’re greedy assholes
that don’t want to pay their fair share.”
“Fair? The top 1% pays more than the bottom 90%
combined in New York. 70% of the taxes
in New York are paid by the top 10% of earners.
How much do you want them to pay in order to be fair to you?”
“I don’t know, I just would like
my student loans wiped out.”
“So instead of paying the
government that issued you the loans, you’re paying the government who paid it
off? What difference does it make,
either way you’re paying the government back?”
“I don’t know, I guess you’re
right. You’re in accounting and studied
economics, it just sounds so nice.”
“Of course it does but that’s
why they don’t want to get into specifics and when they do they lie to you.”
“Well Bernie said that he would
tax financial transactions”
“Student loan debt is over a
trillion dollars. You think you’ll make
that much by taxing stocks? Forget that
fewer people will invest and all the harm that causes but right now the
government makes about 20 Trillion dollars a year. You’re telling me that a twentieth of all
they make will be made up in taxing financial transactions?”
“Yea, I guess that doesn’t make
sense.”
“That’s the problem with the
left. You think everything is
utopia. It’s not. The only way capitalism looks bad is compared
to Utopia. It doesn’t exist. It’s the only system that has ever created
wealth and that will never change.”
“Alright fine, I guess we’ll see
based on who wins the election.”
“God help us if any of the
Democrats running win unless it’s Joe Biden because he’s the only
non-socialist.”
Abby and Nouno returned home to
Arizona and got back in the routine. This
mission took an added joy for Abby because she had a personal animus against
John. Although Nouno did credit John for
trying to leave America so practiced the ‘love it or leave it’ mantra that
Nouno wished everyone in America did, since John had already shown a propensity
to try to attack America, he had to go.
He figured Ireland wouldn’t need another terrorist in their
country. The NRA was already troublesome
enough and Nouno had a feeling it would appeal to people like John. That, however, may be a best case scenario
because at least the NRA doesn’t attack America.
