Stephen Ogilvie: Let's Talk





Coming in as texts to my cell phone today:

"How many Muslims do you want to kill?'

"Possibly... law enforcement recognizes incitement."

"Sources could become defined."

Intimidation.  Against the journalist.

Yes, we must talk.

Surely the man who recently assisted his assailant move into his apartment; the man who put out the welcome mat,  deserves better. For his kindness, a brutal punishment.  He was an "unbeliever".

"They shall be punished in the life of this world, still more grievous is the punishment of the hereafter, and there is none to protect them from Allah."  Surah 13:34  (The Thunder)

Stephen  Ogilvie was punished in this world.  And a voice thundered on the streets of Belfast as a Believer tried his best to saw off his victim's head.  

Stephen Ogilvie has lost his left eye, with damage to the right eye, deep slashes to his back and to his facial features.  Take a moment and look in the mirror.  Imagine it is you.

And the "nudge report" offered by the family has the fingerprint of government on it.  It is a really bad "Monty Python" sketch and the iconic punchline is that, "A nod is as good as a wink to a blind bat". This applies to the statement put out by Stephen Ogilvie's family.  The Belfast government continues to treat their citizens like blind bats regarding their treachery against their own.

Your confusion is dismissed.  Was this really a big deal?  And can we all just go home and forget about it?  

Stephen Ogilvie deserved better.  From his government, prior to his assault.  And from his government, after his vicious assault.  His family certainly deserves better.  They have been forced to take on the guilt of their government's foolhardy policies while in full view of the horrific life-changing injuries to someone they love.  This is also cruel.

Let's talk.  Because Tammy Swofford does not take threats. She deals with threats.  And a threat to a journalist is also a threat against each one of you.

Update to post:  20:41

Graphic content.  My prayer is for the surgical team which had to patch him up.  They will be dealing with intense emotional distress.

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...

Mohamed Elhassan He is powerful, made up of imperceptible layers.  He was only in his mid-teens when he first heeded the call to political action traveling to the Republic Palace of President Jafar Nimeiri seeking justice for his family. He is a well-respected Sufi.  In June,  he was awarded a Masters Degree in Islamic Studies from Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar).  A recognized leader of the Kwahla tribe - with 16 million members.   Fast forward to 2010 and 2015 when he ran for President of the Sudan.  In 2015, it was my privilege to serve in a minor advisory role.  In recent years, he has given an enviable one hundred interviews with Al Jazeera Mobasha (life).   His name is Mohamed Elhassan.  I merely call him "friend". Mohamed Elhassan is president of the Sudanese Gathering Accord.  He is a man who knows his business, takes care of his business, and more importantly, takes care of his people. Less than a month ago he tra...

State of the Union:  Live Blogging Tammy and Blackfoot will begin live blogging shortly.  Grab your favorite drink and your BINGO cards and get ready to settle in for two hours of our POTUS speaking at SOTU.  We hope to keep this fun! https://opinionbytammy.blogspot.com/2026/02/state-of-union-bingo-cards.html __________________ Here we go, gang! "Gang" in the friendly family way, not in the Tren de Aragua way. President Trump and Mrs. Trump have left the White House and are on their way to the Capitol. I'm sure these past few days have been chock full of leafing through journals and diaries, and holding meetings with the inner circle for messaging strategies. Regardless of how much input his team gives him, we can always rely on our POTUS to not mince words, to lay the facts on the table and give us straight talk. Recently saw Newsom talking about Trump being an actor, and that he's a different person in different situations. Once again, Gavin is projecting his weakne...
