“Elmo thinks it’s important to know that everybody is the same deep down and that’s very important.”
Really? Cute little Elmo could not possibly tell the truth about what’s really happening in refugee camps, now could he? Innocent people are suffering in refugee camps at the hands of jihadists and barbaric Islamic supremacists. That would not be suitable for children to hear. But in light of the reality in refugee camps, it would have been best not to have him spread this propaganda to children.
In refugee camps, women and children endure rape, beatings and abuse, and they live in daily fear; Christians are spat upon, beaten, raped and persecuted.
Elmo’s puppet masters are turning this endearing little character into a propaganda machine, spreading falsehoods to children about the reality of the abuses committed by Islamic supremacists. Simply put, evil and good are not the same “deep down.”
It is sad and telling that the one-sided interview of Elmo was instigated by CNN, which has been struggling with credibility issues since it was branded, with good reason, “fake news” by President Trump.
Meanwhile, footage obtained by investigative journalist James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas showed a senior CNN producer admitting that the network’s relentless bashing of President Donald Trump over his alleged links to Russia was “mostly bullsh*t.”
“CNN Interviews Sesame Street’s Elmo About ‘Wonderful’ Trip to Refugee Camp,” Breitbart, June 27, 2017:
CNN ran a story on Monday describing the “wonderful” visit of Sesame Street character Elmo to a refugee camp in Syria, where he concludes that “refugee kids are just like us.”
“They like to play and learn just like Elmo and all his friends at Sesame Street,” Elmo said during an interview broadcast on CNN via Facebook Live. “Elmo thinks it’s important to know that everybody is the same deep down and that’s very important.”
“It was really sad because Elmo’s new friends told Elmo that they had to leave their homes because it wasn’t safe for them to stay,” he continued. “And that made Elmo really sad and sometimes a bit scared.”…..
The bizarre story comes amidst a rising problem of credibility at the network. On Monday, three CNN employees resigned over a fake news scandal in which they were forced to retract a hit piece pertaining to Donald Trump and his associates.
Meanwhile, footage obtained by investigative journalist James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas showed a senior CNN producer admitting that the network’s relentless bashing of President Donald Trump over his alleged links to Russia was “mostly bullsh*t.”

Elmo, the authority on humanity and world politics. Can anyone here photo shop a kaffeyah on our little friend?
WPM says
Next week on CNN we have Big Bird talking with the new head of the Hitlerjugerd scouts, Oscar the Grouch with a interview with the Grand Wizard of the KKK, Snofolofkiss elephant with a bunch date with Keith Ellison the subject will be how we are all the same.
BC says
CNN just get worse and worse, basically it is just a way of making money though advertising. CNN is so irritating it is almost impossible to watch without without apoplexy
bob says
It is just about unbelievable that cnn would go to such great lengths to sugar coat what is going on in the refuge camps, where the exact opposite is going on. This behavior by a news outlet is so deceptive it is on a parallel with mohammad as he called himself the greatest deceiver ever. Why not do an article on the un and their lack of doing anything constructive to help refugees, as they stand by and watch.
Benedict says
“It was really sad because Elmo’s new friends told Elmo that they had to leave their homes because it wasn’t safe for them to stay,” –
So why didn’t Elmo recommend his new friends to emigrate to Saudi Arabia?

Wellington says
Count me in here too, gravenimage. I have been looking for moral guidance and guidance in general from Elmo for a long time now. So glad I have not been let down. Elmo has come through again. Whew!

TERRY says
Of course, GI.
And SESAME STREET– A LARGE PROFIT MAKING ENTITY, THAT STILL FEEDS AT THE PUBLIC TROUGH- IS THE MOST MORAL COMPASS ONE COULD HAVE.
AND THE KNOWLEDGE THEY IMPART ABOUT POLITICS IS IMMENSE.
Incidentally, I had never heard of Elmo (I am way beyond Sesame Street age, and have no young children), so if he (it?) wasn’t identified, i would be at a loss.
But, since Sesame Street is ( I think the word is controlled, not sure) by PBS- shouldn’t CNN be paying them for the use of their ‘asset”?
Both far left programmers. My views

Isn’t Elmo a child molester?

Yes the original Elmo muppeteer was a gay pedophile. So right there Muslims will identify with Elmo
TERRY says
Surprising-most gays are NOT pedophiles. But, I guess, in all groups, some.
Robert Crawford says
Elmo would have attested to the worker’s paradise in the Ukraine at the height of the Holodomor and sang the praises of Auschwitz. He’s literally a puppet.
Col Kurtz says
Seriously? CNN is bringing in the big guns- Elmo??CNN must be really desperate.
davej says
“Deep down everyone is the same”. Really? – would that include Hitler and Charles Manson? How about all the various axe murderers, rapists and serial killers out there?
This kind of retarded thinking is worshipped by the Left.
Someone needs to wash Elmo’s mouth out with a very strong detergent.
Mark Swan says
Good One davej
al norm says
The camps are used by the Jihadis to park their extended families in safety while they go off and fight. MSF, UN and all the other NGO’s know this. It is one reason there are so few military age men in the camps.
I guess Elmo missed that!

Today, on the 29.06 a special day. It is birthday of a great woman, whose life and work was dedicated to freedom.
ORIANA FALACCI, we remember you, as do all decent men and women, who continue your struggle. Very few of us can leave such a trace in the mind of so many.
Many years ago I promised to name my first granddaughter in your memory. Little Oriana is already 7 years old and I hope she will grow to be at least a little be like you. Oriana means light and you brought light to so many people. RIP great woman.
gravenimage says
Thanks for the reminder about Oriana Falacci, Pong.
Glad to hear you named your granddaughter for this brave woman.

Elmo won’t be happy when he gets raped by a refugee who claims to be having a “sexual emergency”. Will the CNN people run a story on that?

Guest says
Using Elmo to lie now?
Kay says
Propaganda. Get ’em young & later they won’t stand a chance.
Also, since refugee camps are an inappropriate subject matter for the preschool set, it puts parents in an awkward situation. They can’t really unteach the propaganda because too much of the truth would not be age appropriate.
Mark Swan says
Thanks Kay those are good points.
Mysterex says
You can keep it general, “I feel sorry for those children, but they are in that situation because their parents believe things that aren’t very nice, and their culture is not as good as ours.”
Nothing hateful about that, and completely truthful.
Sheikh Yabooti says
Well, as bad as this episode was, Elmo is far from being the worst children’s TV character out there. That dubious “honor” is reserved for Farfour the Mouse , the co-host of Hamas TV’s evil kid’s show Tomorrow’s Pioneers. As the Wikipedia article notes, Farfour used to tell the kiddies of Gaza all kinds of inspiring messages, such as “”you and I are laying the foundation for a world led by Islamists”. Apparently the producers had Farfour killed off the show in 2007; maybe CNN can pick him up instead, and maybe have him co-host a new show with Reza Aslan or perhaps Christiane Amanpour.
It all makes me wish that somebody could rescue us from this new “cartoon jihad” – maybe Kippi Ben Kipod (Israeli television’s answer to Big Bird, Kippi is a gigantic but very friendly porcupine). Of course, given the state of affairs today, the BDS movement would probably demand that Kippi be prevented from playing with Big Bird, Elmo, or any other resident of Sesame Street; we wouldn’t impressionable young minds corrupted by the appearance of a friendly Zionist costumed animal, would we….
You have to wonder who are the real puppets here, and who are the puppet masters trying to pull the strings these days. Maybe Angela Merkel and Theresa May will go into children’s television, if this whole politics thing doesn’t work out.
gravenimage says
And Farfour was succeeded by characters Nathool the Bee and Assad the Rabbit.
This last was probably the ugliest; his character “ate Jews”.
Lydia says
Well, there you have it. If it comes out of a fluffy, pink cartoon character puppet, then it must be true!
What better propaganda vehicle with which to indoctrinate innocent young minds?
mortimer says
MESSAGE TO ELMO: Hey, Elmo, nice OPINION! But Islam disagrees. They think that KAFIRS are ‘the worst’ of all beings…lower than a cockroach. Read and weep, Elmo:
Koran 28:86 “Do not support the kafireen in any way.”
Koran 5.51 “He amongst you who turns to them (for friendship) is of them.”
Koran 40:35 “They who dispute the signs (verses) of Allah without authority having reached them are greatly hated by Allah and the believers.” (Note: not just “hated”, but “greatly hated”.)
Koran 48:29: “Muhammad is God’s apostle. Those who follow him are violent to the unbelievers, but compassionate to one another.”
Koran 4: 101 “The kuffar are for you a clear enemy.”
Koran 8:60 “Terrorize the enemy of Allah and your enemy”
Koran 60:4 “We have rejected you, and there has arisen between us and you enmity and hatred, until you believe and worship Allaah alone.”
Koran 3: 118 “O you who believe! Do not take into your intimacy those outside your ranks. They will not fail to corrupt you.”
Examples of al-Baraa from historic figures:
-from Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624): “The honour of Islam lies in insulting kufr and kafirs. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims… The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to humiliate them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain terrified and trembling. It is intended to hold them under contempt and to uphold the honour and might of Islam.”
-from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”: “… true believers show animosity and hatred towards disbelievers and never support them.”
-from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”: “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as enemies and hate them because of their kufr, just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.”
-from [Chap.iv] “The Islaamic Concept of al-Walaa’ wal-Baraa’” by Khalid El-Gharib: “… to show enmity to those who show enmity to Allaah and His Messenger”.
(Note: Muslims are to visibly demonstrate their enmity or hatred towards the kufaar)
My Opinion says
OMG, fricking GAG me!
mike ryan says
I’d love to see the sequel. Think of the realistic potential here: Elmo’s female relative gets raped; Elmo gets blown up in a car bombing; Elmo gets anally raped by jihadists; Elmo is beheaded by ISIS.
August West says
I think CNN should also interview Miss Piggy and Oscar The Grouch on this topic to get a more diverse set of opinions.

Following the towering inferno in London there was a very discrete demo by local muslims.
Some hijabs and beards quietly and patiently stood around holding neatly written placards while being stage-managed onto their marks.

What low-life tricks to brainwash children. Telling them Elmo loves the refugees. How low down and despicable can you get?? This is so bad and creepy. It makes a rage come up in me. You will be held accountable for every child or person lost to islam. Their blood will be on your hands!!!!!
Robin Rosenblatt says
Elmo’s puppet masters must be leftists who want to make your children Islamic slaves to be terrorists and Sex slaves.
Joe Speziale says
Those who have not done so must listen to the tape of this disgusting propaganda of the smallest children, lies worthy of Stalin and Trotsky—always corrupt the children in the schools with lies.
The affected, child’s-voice of the Elmo character is so unctuous, so disgusting, and the script is so boldly deceptive.
Public tax money funding has to be cut off for PBS and all its related affiliates.
Ric says
Ironically, the Palestinians use muppet and puppet like characters to indoctrinate their children to hate Israelis/Jews and to be aspiring Islamist martyrs. CNN has stolen the Pal’s creative efforts to get the same message across to the gullible of this nation. CNN’s utilizing Elmo to disseminate its leftist diktat betrays CNN’s flaccid and inadequacy as a legitimate news source.
Joe Speziale says
Most of you probably remember this: a Palestinian Authority video of children’s TV with Sesame-Street-like puppets teaching kids to hate and kill Jews and “infidels”.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gwdt-g7PY-o&t=53s‘
It is one example of many others, that were probably financed and made with UN money. It is sick to do this to children without any conscience.
Kasim Hafeez, a former radical-Muslim who grew up in England, says this type of anti-west, anti-infidel and especially anti-Israel/anti-Jew hatred began in the 1990’s.
Here is his account at PragerU:

Hmmm… now lessee…are they ‘the same’ as us? OK… FGM, wife-beating, human flesh eaters, persecute disbelievers and humiliate them, honor killings, slavery is ok, raping non-Muslim women is ok, warfare against disbelievers, inequality on the basis of religion, gender apartheid, women stoned because they were raped, can’t be friends with disbelievers. Yup, apart from those minor things, we are just the same.
Jack Holan says
These “newspeople” are real sickos.
mach37 says
CNN; reprehensible FAKE story. Elmo was, of course, talking ONLY about kids, yet the so-called adults on CNN didn’t understand, or possibly deliberately ignored that aspect. Kids – preschool kids, anyway – have not been inculcated into the finer points of Islamic martyrdom, and possibly don’t even know about the 72 virgins; at least they don’t understand it if they HAVE had some indoctrination into it.
