NY Officials: Boston Suspects Planned to Blow Up Times Square

[Newsmax.com]

Posted: April 26, 2013

By Todd Beamon

BostonBombers_in-Times-Square-fnc-apThe Boston Marathon bombing suspects made an impromptu decision to drive to New York City and detonate their remaining explosives in Times Square, New York City officials said on Thursday.

“Last night, we were informed by the FBI that the surviving attacker revealed that New York City was next on their list of targets,” Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at an afternoon news conference.

Bloomberg was referring to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, who was captured on Friday in suburban Watertown, Mass., after an intense manhunt by authorities. His brother, Tamerlan, 26, was killed in a fierce overnight shootout with police earlier on Friday.

“He told the FBI apparently that he and his brother intended to drive to New York and detonate additional explosives in Times Square,” Bloomberg added. “They had built these additional explosives — and we know that they had the capacity to carry out the attacks.”

Jihad Blows Up the Liberal Utopia

[American Spectator]

President Obama Speaks on Gun Legislation in WashingtonCredibility shredded from Boston to Benghazi.

Jihad has blown up The Liberal Utopia.

The visionary liberal land of political and social perfection.

President Obama is not happy — and he isn’t alone.

You know the place.

• The Liberal Utopia is a land where gun background checks prevent mass murder.

• The Liberal Utopia is a land where Islamic fundamentalists have changed their perception of America because the President travels to Muslim nations to give lovely speeches, believes that the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and elsewhere is a wonderful sign of an Arab Spring, and refuses to use the word “terrorist” whether his administration is investigating Ft. Hood, Boston, or Benghazi.

• The Liberal Utopia is a land where a 2009 presidential video proclaiming a “new beginning” in American relations with Iran will halt the effort to build a nuclear bomb.

Photos Show ‘Persons of Interest’ in Boston Marathon Bombings

[Newsmax.com]

April 18, 2013

FBI_official_photos-02The FBI is now sharing the photos with the public but the New York Post ran several photos that they linked to the investigation Thursday.

In the photos being distributed by law-enforcement officials, one of the men is carrying a blue duffel bag. The other is wearing a black backpack in the first photo, taken at 10:53 a.m., but it is not visible in the second, taken at 12:30 p.m, the Post reported.

“The attached photos are being circulated in an attempt to identify the individuals highlighted therein,” said an e-mail obtained by The Post. “Feel free to pass this around to any of your fellow agents elsewhere.”

Authorities know the names of the two men, but do not have enough evidence to make an arrest for Monday’s attack, which killed three and wounded 176, sources told the Post.

Fox said a reporter for the network had seen the photos and called them “clear.”

Ricin-laced letters threaten Washington

Ricin-laced letters threaten Washington

Yesterday the Senate mail facility discovered a letter addressed to Republican Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi that was laced with a suspicious white powder.  Preliminary tests somewhat inconclusively suggested the powder included ricin, a toxic substance made from castor beans.  According to the Centers for Disease Control, ricin can cause injury or death in very small amounts, through either inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact.  This makes it an attractive chemical-biological warfare option for the evil scumbag on a budget.

Screen Shot 2012-12-07 at 11.09.31 AMThe quran ads are coming to New York on the 17th, and be glad of it. The NY Observer tries to incite anger and hate towards the message. But it is the calls for jihad, genocide and violence in the quran that are the real incitement to hate.

‘New Anti-Islam Ads to Debut This Month, Now With 25% More MTA Disclaimer” NY Observer, December 6, 2012
Pamela Geller is at it again.

The outspoken blogger and Executive Director of the American Freedom Defense Initiative has just purchased a slew of advertising space in several subway stations and on numerous Metro-North platforms in order to display her newest anti-Islam message.

Her latest ads, shared exclusively with The Observer, will feature a panorama of the sky the moment the World Trade Center burst into flames in 2001, accompanied by a quote from the Quran that reads “Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers.”

Israeli envoy meets with Egyptian officials about ceasefire with Hamas

[FoxNews.com]

Associated Press

Published November 18, 2012

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip –  An Israeli envoy held talks with Egyptian officials Sunday on a ceasefire in his country’s offensive on Gaza as Israel widened the range of its targets, striking more than a dozen homes of Hamas militants and two media officials. Seven civilians were killed, including five children, in the conflict’s highest one-day civilian toll yet, according to security officials and witnesses.

Upon arrival at Cairo’s international airport, the Israeli official was whisked away directly from the tarmac and taken to talks with Egyptian authorities, Egyptian security officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the press. They did not identify the Israeli official.

Egypt has been leading international efforts to broker a truce since Israel launched its offensive five days earlier aimed at stopping Gaza rocket attacks. But Israel and Gaza’s militant Hamas rulers remain far apart on any terms.

Obama in 2006: ‘I’ve Had Enough of Using Terrorism as a Wedge Issue in Our Politics’

(CNSNews.com) – Speaking in Iowa in 2006, Sen. Barack Obama said, “I’ve had enough of using terrorism as a wedge issue in our politics.” He said the war on terrorism “isn’t supposed to crop up between September and November of even-numbered years.”

But as president, Obama and his reelection campaign have consistently raised the issue — repeatedly referring to a 2007 comment by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney to suggest that Romney would not have ordered the killing of Osama bin Laden as Obama did one year ago.

9/11 Message: New Al Qaeda Leader Calls on “Muslim brothers everywhere” for US Attacks

AtlasShrugs.com

Monday, August 15, 2011

Another influential misunderstander of Islam. Does anyone else find it curious that the most devout and pious Muslims are all misunderstanding Islam in exactly the same way, reading the exact same words for over 1,400 years?

9/11 Message? New Al Qaeda Leader Calls for US Attacks  ABC News, August 15, 2011In a video released three weeks before the 9/11 anniversary, new al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri urges followers to continue to target the United States.

Dressed in white, with his automatic weapon leaning against his left side, Zawahiri urges “Muslim brothers everywhere” to pursue America in the 12-minute video.

“America today is staggering,” said Zawahiri. “Hunt her down wherever you may encounter her. Hunt her down to cut what is left of her corruption’s tail.”

Zawahiri took over leadership of al Qaeda following the May 2 U.S. raid which killed bin Laden in Pakistan.

“Pursue America, which killed the ‘Imam of the Mujahedeen’ and threw his body into the sea, and then captured his women and sons,” said Zawahiri. “Hunt her down until history says that a murderous country spread corruption in the earth so God sent his faithful to her to make an example out of her.”

Mexican drug cartels have stepped up the pressure and are attempting to smuggle narcotics into the United States in alarming numbers and in increasingly creative ways.

From methamphetamine stuffed inside a car battery, to black-tar heroin wedged in a drive shaft, to fuel tanks filled with drugs instead of gas, the cartels are going to great lengths to get their narcotics into the U.S., law enforcement officials say.


Report Shows Terror Recruitment in U.S. Still a Problem

by Wes Barrett | July 27, 2011

A new report released by Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee shows there’s still a threat of Americans being recruited by Somali terror group and Al Qaeda ally Al Shabaab for the purpose of carrying out attacks in the U.S.

Committee chairman Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y. held a hearing Wednesday on Al Shabaab recruiting in America.  It was the third in a series of controversial “Muslim radicalization” hearings King has called

“The key finding is that there is a looming danger of American Shabaab fighters returning to the U.S. to strike or helping Al Qaeda and its affiliates attack the homeland,” the report reads. “U.S. intelligence underestimated the Pakistani Taliban and Al Qaeda in Yemen’s capability of launching attacks here; we cannot afford to make the same mistake with Shabaab.”

AP – Sept. 1, 2010: Transportation Security Administration employee Anthony Brock, left, demonstrates a new full-body scanner at San Diego’s Lindbergh Field with TSA employee Andres Lozano in San Diego.

Under fire from privacy advocates, the Transportation Security Administration is upgrading its full body scanners to eliminate the use of images that show a passenger’s naked body.

Over the new few months, the agency will install new software known as Automated Target Recognition (ATR) that can auto-detect items that pose a potential threat using a generic outline of a person for all passengers.

When Did the Media Flip-Flop on the War(s)?

Ron Futrell

BigJournalism.com

Posted by Ron Futrell Jun 5th 2011 at 2:12 pm

I sometimes wonder if the media thinks the public has a universal case of amnesia. Like we can’t remember what they were saying way, way back in the days when George W. Bush was president.

Bush was president right after Grover Cleveland, I believe.

You remember Bush, don’t you? The media hated the guy. They hated him because he started two wars. He started them because this guy named Saddam Hussein (who became nicer the more they hated Bush) picked a fight with Bush’s Daddy and it was basically that simple (oh, there was some oil mixed in there too, so you can pick either reason). There was also a Good War and a Bad War. Afghanistan was Good, Iraq was Bad.

Today the same people who hung on every word said by anti-war Cindy Sheehan during the Bush presidency can’t find Cindy anymore and there are only Good Wars.” We actually have three wars going on now and they are suddenly all good. One is kinetic, which means it just happened and nobody could help it or stop it. We certainly can’t blame anybody for it. Besides, nobody is really getting killed in this latest war (somewhere in Africa, I believe) because we don’t see them being killed on TV anymore. It’s tough to get video signals for those live shots out of Libya these days, and cameras don’t work well in the deserts of North Africa. There’s sand and all that stuff. You know what happened the first time you took a camera to the beach.

AP – Feb. 22: Saif al-Islam Qaddafi, son of Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi, waits before a press conference in Tripoli, Libya.

At least two sons of Muammar al-Qaddafi are reportedly proposing a resolution to the ongoing Libyan conflict that would push their father aside to make way for a transition to a constitutional democracy, a diplomat and a Libyan official said Sunday.

It’s not immediately clear whether Qaddafi, 68, backs the proposal by his sons, Seif and Saadi al-Qaddafi, although one person close to the son told the New York Times that the father appeared willing to go along with the plan.

Suspicious Package Found at Nuke Plant Near Phoenix (Updated)

FoxNews.com

Wednesday, October 13, 2010

WINTERSBURG, Ariz. —  Authorities are investigating a suspicious package that was found early Wednesday at a nuclear power plant west of Phoenix.

Maricopa County Sheriff’s spokesman Brian Lee says security officers at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station called them at about 5 a.m. after they found the suspicious package. A second call initially led to confusion that a second device may have been found, but that was quickly discounted.

Lee says a sheriff’s bomb squad is investigating.

A spokesman for plant operator Arizona Public Service Co. says security guards found the suspicious package during a search of a vehicle at a checkpoint about a mile from the plant.

The plant is operating normally, but traffic in and out is stopped.

(UPDATE) Deputy: Smoke flare likely nuke plant scare cause

TheState.com (South Carolina’s Homepage)

The Associated Press


WINTERSBURG, Ariz. — A device that caused the entrance to a nuclear power plant west of Phoenix to be closed appears to be a smoke flare used in firefighter training, authorities said.

The device was found under the seat of an employee’s car at a security checkpoint a mile from the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station at about daybreak on Wednesday, Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Lt. Brian Lee said. At first glance, it looked like a stick of dynamite, so plant security closed the checkpoint to traffic as a precaution.

Power plant operations weren’t affected and the checkpoint was reopened after about three hours.

The employee was questioned but Lee says she was not arrested. An official with plant operator Arizona Public Service Co. said the issue will likely be handled as an internal matter.

The device was 4 to 6 inches long and had a fuse attached, said Bob Bement, the vice president for nuclear operations at APS. Lee said it had “smoke” written on it.

The device was detonated at another location.

Security guards at the checkpoint search every vehicle entering, said Jim McDonald, a spokesman for plant operator Arizona Public Service Co. Closing the checkpoint was standard procedure, he said, and the biggest problem was that the incident happened at shift change and traffic backed up.

A similar incident happened at the plant in November 2007 when security guards at the same checkpoint found a pipe bomb in the bed of an employee’s truck. The employee told investigators he rarely used the truck, left it parked in his apartment complex lot and didn’t know who placed it in the truck bed. He was cleared to return to work.

The triple-reactor plant 50 miles west of Phoenix is the nation’s largest nuclear power facility. It is owned by APS and a consortium of western power companies.

Al-Awlaki Raid Aims to Cut Supplies

FoxNews.com

September 21, 2010 – 5:46 PM | by: Catherine Herridge

A Yemeni official with knowledge of the raid tells Fox it is not part of a “hunt and capture” campaign targeting the American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.  Rather it was an effort to cut off supply lines for extremists in the southern part of Yemen, including members of the Al Qaeda affiliate, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, also known as AQAP.

The Yemeni source also tells Fox that about a dozen members of AQAP were in the village of Hatwa, about the size of 10 city blocks, in Shabwa province. The source said there is no confirmation that Awlaki was among the group,  adding the mission to take out the AQAP cluster was not triggered by intelligence that Awlaki was there.

Islam is not a religion of peace

Posted: Tuesday, September 7, 2010 6:30 pm

Well, I held out as long as possible but can’t contain myself any longer. This is in response to Jason Etheredge’s Aug. 29 comments accusing Bill Connor of hate speech in his Aug. 22 article.

I was really struck by Jason’s blindness. But believe it or not, he typifies so many other people’s blindness. Jason, you told Bill not to take verses out of context and use them for his own benefit and then in the same sentence you state you’re researching subjects and not assuming it’s correct since it’s in the paper. Well you’re doing the right thing by researching and not assuming. But it’s pretty obvious you are not paying attention. The reason I say that is because when you printed the whole verse, how did you miss the main point? SLAY THE IDOLATERS. You tried to defend the verse by saying that verse is only in reference to those whom they made an agreement with. I don’t get it. They’re to slay the ones they made an agreement with? What kind of nonsense is that?

Can you smell a set-up? More of the dangerous infiltration by subversive Islamic groups attempting to, in their own words, work toward “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within, and sabotaging its miserable house.”
