A few short days ago thirteen America soldiers were murdered in cold blood on American soil by an American Muslim terrorist – Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. The day after this heinous crime was committed against members of the American military by an American Muslim, members of the Islamic community spoke out about the incident. One of the fellow Muslims stated that he could not condemn the murder of innocent lives due to his position, that in the end Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan is his brother.
If only Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan would have had the same level of camaraderie with his brothers in the U.S. military as Duane Reasoner, Jr. had with the Major, this senseless act of violence would not have occurred by one of the military’s very own.
Duane : I’m not going to condemn him for what he did. I don’t know why he did it. I will not, absolutely not, condemn him for what he had done though. If he had done it for selfish reasons I still will not condemn him. He’s my brother in the end. I will never condemn him.
Gavin Lee : There might be a lot of people shocked to hear you say that.
Duane: Well, that’s the way it is. I don’t speak for the community here but me personally I will not condemn him.
Gavin Lee : What are your thoughts towards those that were victims in this?
Duane : They were, in the end, they were troops who were going to Afghanistan and Iraq to kill Muslims. I honestly have no pity for them. It’s just like the majority of the people that will hear this, after five or six minutes they’ll be shocked, after that they’ll forget about them and go on their day.
Unfortunately, it seems by the actions that the Major has taken, that his heart did not lie with America or its people, but rather with the followers of Islam who wishes for the destruction of the United States of America.
Hasan, the sole suspect in the massacre of 13 fellow US soldiers in Texas, attended the controversial Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia, in 2001 at the same time as two of the September 11 terrorists…
The preacher at the time was Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Yemeni scholar who was banned from addressing a meeting in London by video link in August because he is accused of supporting attacks on British troops and backing terrorist organisations…
…At Fort Hood, he [Hasan] told a colleague, Col Terry Lee, that he [Hasan] believed Muslims should rise up against American “aggressors”…
Now the two questions I have are as follows:
Is this a single incident where a murderer who just happens to be an American Muslim snapped, as according to the main stream media, or is this what Muslims truly believe should happen to anyone who refuses the way of Allah?
Were the sentiments expressed by George Bush on September 17th of 2001 that Islam is a religion of peace true, or is this yet another attempt of Al-Taqiyah against the American people where Muslims temporarily befriend their enemy in order to further the cause of Islam?
If this was a single incident, and if the words of George Bush were true, then why do we hear so many Islamic followers speak the exact opposite by proclaiming the demise of un-believers wherever they find them?
If this truly was a non Islamic terror attack by someone who just happened to be a Muslim, then why are the sentiments expressed above by the British Mullah Mr. Anjum Chaudri of the same mindset of Duane, the American Muslim convert, who was a good friend of the murderer himself – the major?
And if we listen to yet another video clip, we can see that other Muslims express the exact same kind of sentiments as Anjum Chaudri and Duane – the American Muslim convert.
Surah 9:73 O Prophet! Make Jihad against the disbelievers and the hypocrites! Be harsh with them. Their ultimate abode is hell, a hapless journey’s end.
Wrap Up
The question I have is as follows, why do we not hear the air waves filled by the voices of angry American Muslims protesting and screaming out in anguish about this horrible act of violence that took place against their own American countrymen – the soldiers that protect their lives on a daily basis?
Why do we not hear from the American Muslim masses condemning this horrific attack in order to prove that George Bush was not speaking in the ways of Al-Taqiyah ?
One answer could be that the West is too naive to believe the actual truth behind Islam, the truth that overcame Fort Hood a few short days ago.
It is time for each one of us to dig a little deeper in order to truly understand the agenda behind Islam. I can assure you that by the actions Muslims take against disbelievers the world over, their mission is not one of peace and prosperity.

NC Asks: Under Canadian libel laws, “truth is not an absolute defense.” If truth is not an absolute defense, then what is an absolute defense?
Repeat this five times: ”Truth is not an absolute defense”!
Do you hear how insane that sounds? Law has to be based on something, so if Truth is not an absolute defense it leaves opinion. So is opinion an absolute defense? What is an absolute defense in Canada?
Remember that our Founding Fathers lived under this kind of tyrannical jurisprudence which is why they coined the phrase, “You are innocent UNTIL you are proven guilty,” laid out the arguments in the debates to create our Constitution and then provided absolute Constitutional protection of that Right in that cherished document.
Now say this five times, ”I am innocent until the accuser proves me guilty!”
Which one of these statements sounds insane?
Think about what it would be like to have to spend 100s of 1000s of dollars to prove your innocence. And on top of that, it’s about something you said in the course of trying to save innocent lives! Canada is in a sorry state of affairs if this is how they protect the principle of free speech.
I am a United States citizen on trial in Canada for exposing a situation at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario that threatened the lives and welfare of Canadians and Americans alike. My book The Dunces of Doomsday, published in the U.S. by Cumberland House, revealed potential terrorist threats from al-Qaeda affiliates at McMaster. The university is suing me for libel, demanding $4 million in punitive and aggregated damages.
Unlike American libel laws where the plaintiff must prove that what was said about him is not true, and it was said in malice, Canadian libel laws, like the British, put the burden of proof on the defendant, not on the plaintiff.
What I wrote and said about McMaster from my home in Pennsylvania falls well within the standards of responsible journalism. Nevertheless, I have been dragged into court in Toronto, Canada, to be tried under Canadian law that lacks the U.S. Constitutional protection of free speech.
This ordeal has damaged my professional career, depleted my life savings, and placed me in financial jeopardy.
I am not alone.
Other writers have suffered a similar fate, including Joe Sharkey, a New Jersey-based freelance business journalist is being sued for reporting about a plane crash he survived over the Amazon. A woman who claims Sharkey offended the “dignity” of Brazil by criticizing its air-traffic control is suing him for libel in Brazil. This despite the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board’s conclusion that the Brazilian air traffic control was responsible to the crash. She demands $500,000 and apologies in national and international media outlets.
Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld, whose criticism of a Khalid bin Mahfouz, a Saudi billionaire who funded al Qaeda, has resulted in a judgment by default in British court against her for allegedly defaming the Saudi. She was ordered to pay $250,000, apologize in international media outlets and destroy her book: Funding Evil; How Terrorism Is Financed – and How to Stop It.
The same ordeal can befall all investigative reporters in the U.S. unless federal legislators pass The Free Speech Protection Act 2009, which is now before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Last week my pretrial took place in Toronto. It was not a pleasant experience. My Canadian lawyers and the appointed mediator spent seven hours attempting to coerce me into signing an apology to McMaster University for stating the truth. They maintained that none of my statements were factual according to Canadian libel laws.
I pointed to the fact that McMaster was home to several al-Qaeda members who plotted to blow up Canada’s Parliament and behead its prime minister. In fact, a week before my pretrial took place, the guilty plea of a McMaster student, Saad Gaya, to charges of terrorism captured the headlines of Canadian newspapers. Gaya was one of eighteen al-Qaeda affiliates also charged with planning to blow up trucks loaded with bombs at the Toronto Stock Exchange, the Toronto office of the Canadian Security intelligence Service and a military base on Ontario. He was the eleventh to be convicted. The remaining seven members of the group, known as the “Toronto 18,” remain in prison awaiting trial. Such statements of fact have done little to persuade McMaster to drop the lawsuit, and my trial is set for April 2010.
In Canada, as in England and Brazil, truth is not an absolute defense.
No American citizen should be stripped of his/her Constitutional rights by foreign countries or foreign entities.
Congress should act immediately to pass the Free Speech Protection Act 2009.
A group affiliated with al Qaeda could strike the United States in the near future.
That’s grim assessment of FBI Director Robert Mueller, who spoke this week at a meeting of the Senate Homeland Security Committee.
Mueller’s remarks represent the first time a senior law enforcement or intelligence official has stated on the record that the al-Shabaab, a Muslim terrorist group with ties to al Qaeda, is no longer content to strike within the East African nation of Somalia.
During a hearing, Director Robert Mueller was asked if members of al-Shabaab, which translates as “mujahadeen youth,” would send American recruits back to the U.S. to launch attacks.
“I would think that we have seen some information that the leaders would like to undertake operations outside of Somalia,” Mueller told the Committee.
Mueller said he is “absolutely” concerned that hundreds of Somalis, who have become naturalized American citizens, will return to their homeland for terrorist training in order to launch attacks on U.S. Soil.
A U.S. counterterrorism official confirmed to FOX News and other press officials that al-Shabaab has exploded since 2006, and has become a full-fledged Al Qaeda affiliate.
Initially, the official said, al Shabaab fought against the Somali government and the Ethiopian forces who oppose the creation of an Islamic state in East Africa. Now, he continued, the group’s focus has turned to the establishment of a universal “caliphate.”
The counterterrorism official further said that the leaders of al-Shabaab in East Africa have traveled to Pakistan to pledge their allegiance in person to Osama Bin Laden in person, who entrusted them with missions in Europe and the United States.
Last Wednesday, Sheikh Shaif Sheikh Ahmed, the president of Somalia’s transitional government, told a crowd gathered at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington that terrorist training camps have been established throughout Somalia and that as many as 1,100 foreign fighters have joined the al-Shabaab movement.
Problems with the Muslim Somalis, who have recently settled within the U.S., came to light when Shriwa Ahmed, a resident of Minneapolis and naturalized American citizen, returned to Somalia for training at an al-Shabaab camp. He became the first known American suicide bomber in October, 2008, when he detonated a car bomb that killed 30 people. Ahmed’s body was returned to Minneapolis for burial, where members of the burgeoning Somali community spoke of him as a “hero” and “martyr.”
In September, a Somali-American from Seattle, Washington joined the rank of holy martyrs by killing 22 peacekeepers in Somalia.
According to FOX News, the American mouthpiece for al-Shabaab is Omar Hammami, a big-eared native of Daphne, Alabama, who now goes by the name Abu Mansour al-Amriki, or simply “The American.” His parents told a TV station in Mobile that their son traveled to Somalia with his wife, lost his passport, and became indoctrinated by al-Shabaab.
A source within Mobile’s Muslim community said that Hammami, after dropping out of college, traveled to Toronto, where he eventually married a Somali woman and became indoctrinated there by a nest of jihadis.
Last week, more problems with the U.S. Somali community came to light last week when a Twin Cities Somali man appeared in federal court on charges of providing support to terrorists and taking part in a conspiracy to “kill, kidnap, maim or injure” people in foreign countries.
A federal grand jury had indicted Salah Osman Ahmed, 26, of Brooklyn Park, and Abdifatah Yusuf Isse, of Seattle, in February, but the indictments remained sealed until Ahmed appeared before Magistrate Judge Susan Richard Nelson on September 28.
Special agent E.K. Wilson confirmed Monday that the indictments of Isse and Ahmed are tied to a major federal investigation into the disappearance of up to 20 local men of Somali descent from the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. The missing men, according to Wilson, appear to have returned to their homeland for training by al-Shabaab
“It is related to the ongoing investigation,” Wilson said of the charges unsealed last week.
The time frame of Isse and Ahmed’s involvement overlaps the period when several of the Twin Cities men disappeared. The first wave of young men to leave Minneapolis for Somalia began in early 2007. A second wave is believed to have left in the late summer and late fall of 2008.
According to the indictment, federal investigators allege the men “provided material support and resources, namely personnel, including themselves, knowing and intending that the material support and resources were to be used in preparation for and to carry out a conspiracy to kill, kidnap, maim or injure persons in a foreign country” from September 2007 through December 2008.
Al Qaeda chieftain Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who is now on trial at Guantanamo Bay, wants to fire his free-of-charge American lawyers. He claims that Allah will defend him in a letter that was made public this week.
Mohammed, 44, stands accused of mass murder for masterminding the 9/11 terrorist attacks that killed 2,974 people.
His military judge has opted to leave the defense team intact until Nov. 16, when the Obama administration is expected to decide whether Mohammed and for other alleged 9/11 plotters should receive military or federal trials.
In his letter, Mohammed writes that he wants to dismiss his Pentagon defense lawyer, Army Lt. Col. Michael Acuff, and Boise, Idaho, criminal defense attorneys David Nevin and Scott McKay.
“I believe that Allah is sufficient to defend me,” he insists. “I wish to represent myself without the assistance of any lawyers.”
To date, the American Civil Liberties Union has shelled out more than $3.5 million to provide legal services for Guantánamo detainees facing death penalty charges.
Mohammed, who was waterboarded 183 times in CIA custody, has boasted of his role in the 9/11 attacks, and has called the allegations against him “badges of honor.” He allegedly also has bragged that another attack is in store for America – - a nuclear event that will leave much of the country in ruins. Mohammed has identified the operative in charge of this mission as Adnan el-Shukrijumah, who remains on the lam.
Mohammed had for a time accepted Nevin and McKay to mount his defense. They wrote briefs and presented arguments in court.
Lt. Col. Acuff, a Tennessee-licensed lawyer, urged the judge to maintain a robust standby defense team to help prepare the Mohammed’s defense. He cited American Bar Association professional standards for defending death penalty cases.
“Because Mr. Mohammed was tortured while in the custody of the United States of America, the case requires a detailed analysis of the effects of this mistreatment,” he said.
In addition, Acuff said the case involves complex national security law, classified evidence and international humanitarian law.
“The case also involves allegations of activities occurring on multiple continents and in diverse countries, and witnesses who speak a variety of foreign languages,” the Pentagon lawyer said.
He went on to say that the case “involves a cultural and religious context which is very different from my own.”
Lt. Col. Acuff further protested the continuation of legal proceedings to the conclusion of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan capped by the Eid al Fitr feast.
“Proceeding with a hearing during Eid,” he said, would “exacerbate the hostility that exists between the accused and the military commissions and further erode the reliability of these proceedings, and will be seen as an insult to Muslims around the world.”
As I sit and ponder on the events that transpired eight years ago against our nation, it forces me wonder what ever happened to America since then.
I remember very clearly how we as a nation came together to fight against those who wished to destroy our way of life, those who wished for America to no longer exists as we know it, and even through the turmoil they transgressed against us, we stood fast as a people, and came together as a nation, putting our difference aside – showing the world who we are; Americans that helped one another in a time of tragedy, in a time of need.
Obama Speaks
As I listen to the words of Mr. Obama, I am compelled to expose his empty plagiarized words; his words of smoke filled lies, his words of deception. On 9/11 Mr. Obama spoke as if he mourned for those who lost their lives to a new enemy that arose against this nation that day eight years ago, an enemy that he says does not exist , an enemy that he wishes to protect and give immunity to, an enemy that he sides with over the victims that were murdered on that day, September 11th, eight years ago.
Yet, this man, Mr. Obama, will try to make you believe that he grieves as the family of the victims grieves, but just a few short months ago his actions, words and deeds are completely contrary to the words in which he spoke to the American people just two short days ago.
NEW YORK (CNN) — President Obama spoke at the Pentagon on Friday to those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001, telling them no words would heal their pain yet calling for a renewed resolve against the ones who attacked the country eight years ago.
“No words can ease the ache of your hearts,” Obama told a crowd of relatives and friends standing under umbrellas in a steady rain. The plane, American Airlines Flight 77, struck the Pentagon’s west wall.
“Eight Septembers have come and gone,” Obama said. “Nearly 3,000 days have passed, almost one for each one who has been taken from us.
“We recall the beauty and meaning of their lives,” he said. “No passage of time, no dark skies can dull the meaning of that moment.
“Let us renew our resolve against those who perpetrated this violent act,” Obama said. [ 1 ] cnn.com
Renew our Resolve against those who perpetrated this violent act
Really Mr. Obama, do you really mean these words in which we read from the speech you have spoken?
Do you really wish to have resolve against those who attacked us on that day Mr. Obama?
Or is this yet another futile attempt to further blind unaware Americans with the empty words you call, “Just Words”.
Unlike others Mr. Obama, many of us have not forgotten that dayas we watched it unfold eight years ago, nor have we forgotten what America stood for in the past, nor have we forgotten the recent steps you and your administration are taking against our nation; the steps that if not corrected quickly will destroy our constitution and our nation, leaving it a country that no one will be able to recognize any longer.
Mr. Obama, I ask you this one question, what kind of resolve are you referring to?
Are you referring to the resolve that would protect those who attacked our nation on that day of infamy eight years ago?
Detailed intelligence that could link members of the Saudi royal family to groups that financed the 9/11 terror attacks may never see the light of day, in part due to an Obama administration move to have a lawsuit filed on behalf of 7,600 relatives of 9/11 victims thrown out.
The administration’s efforts to squelch the lawsuit may face a complication. An unknown source anonymously gave the families’ attorneys over 50 classified U.S. government documents related to the law suit. The Justice Department subsequently destroyed the lawyers’ copies of those documents.
…Family members asked why the administration was siding with the Saudis and trying to block their case, but the officials dodged those questions, they said. [ 2 ] newsmax.com
Or maybe you might be referring to the resolve that would allow those involved in this heinous act to go unpunished and untouched?
The Obama administration has intervened to quash a civil suit filed against Saudi Arabia by survivors and family members of victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks…
…According to an article by Eric Lichtblau in the June 24 New York Times, documents assembled by lawyers for the 9/11 families “provide new evidence of extensive financial support for Al Qaeda and other extremist groups by members of the Saudi royal family.” However, the article states, the documents may never find their way into court because of legal challenges by Saudi Arabia, which are being supported by the US Justice Department.
…The administration is taking extraordinary measures to kill the suit and suppress the evidence of Saudi support for Al Qaeda and complicity in the 9/11 attacks. Last month, the Justice Department sided in court with the Saudi monarchy in seeking to halt further legal action. Moreover, it had copies of American intelligence documents on Saudi finances that had been leaked to lawyers for the families destroyed, and is now seeking to prevent a judge from even looking at the material. [ 3 ] wsws.org
If not the kind of resolve to prosecute those involved, maybe it is the kind of resolve that would release known terrorist to do what they do best, destroy cultures and societies?
…A series of closed-door meetings between the relatives’ groups and Justice Department officials, arranged as an update on Mr. Obama’s plan to close the detention facility at the U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba… [ 4 ] washingtontimes.com
The Pentagon said on Tuesday that 61 former detainees were believed to have returned to terrorism since their release from Guantánamo Bay, Cuba…
…people who are being held at Guantánamo who are still bent on doing harm to America – Americans and our allies.
… 18 had been confirmed as once again having become directly involved in “terrorist activities. ” [ 5 ] telegraph.co.uk
Or it could be the kind of resolve where we will finally lay down and submit to those who wish our freedoms and way of life destroyed?
And just to be sure that no one is mistaken in the actions in which he took lets re-visit it in slow motion Obama in slow motion…
Why would a man, who is the supposed president of a free nation, bow to anyone? How does the world look at the actions taken by this man who claims to be the president of the United States?
Michael Goldfarb at the Weekly Standard called the alleged bow “a violation of more than two centuries of tradition and protocol holding that American presidents never bow before royalty.” [ 6 ] foxnews.com
Among Muslim democrats and human rights advocates, utter dejection that the “leader of the Free World” has offered himself as a “subject” of the Saudi monarch; among Islamists, bliss over America’s seeming prostration before Salafist Islam; among international bad actors, assurance that America poses no threat; and among our allies, depression about the new systemic instability of the most dependable superpower in history. [ 7 ] commentarymagazine.com
Obama’s action has been slammed by the US media as well as by politicians who feel that the US president’s gesture was unbecoming of the country’s head. The Ottawa Citizen daily argued that the American president is supposed to be “a peer of, not subservient to, any foreign potentate“.
The Washington Times newspaper has called the incident a “shocking display of fealty to a foriegn potentate “.
…In its editorial, the daily noted: “The bow was an extraordinary protocol violation. Such an act is a traditional obeisance befitting a king’s subjects, not his peer. There is no precedent for US presidents bowing to Saudi or any other royals.” [ 8 ] arabianbusiness.com
If not any of these resolves, could it be the kind of resolve that gives immunity to terrorist and prefers terror financiers over Americans that were murdered on that day eight years ago?
Families who lost loved ones on September 11 are angry over the news that the Obama Administration has intervened to prevent alleged Saudi terror financiers from lawsuits.
…”five Saudi princes knowingly and intentionally provided financial support to al Qaeda waging war on America.”
“By urging the high court to not review lower court decisions dismissing these cases, the Obama Administration took the side of the Saudi princes over thousands of family members and survivors of the 9/ll attacks…
“The Administration’s filing mocks our system of justice and strikes a blow against the public’s right to know the facts about who financed and supported the murder of 3,000 innocent people. It undermines our fight against terrorism and suggests a green light to terrorist sympathizers the world over that they can send money to al Qaeda without having to worry that they will be held accountable in the U.S. Courts for the atrocities that result.” [ 9 ] investigativeproject.org
The Obama administration has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to protect Saudi Arabia and four of its princes from being held accountable for their alleged role in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the United States that killed almost 3,000 Americans…
…Intelligence and past actions link the Saudi government and the four princes with al-Qaida…
“…the U.S. Government announced its opposition to allowing 9/11 victims and their families full access to the U.S. legal system in (the government’s) effort to protect Saudi Arabia and its princes from being held accountable for their role in the attack on the United States,” said Peter Leitner, who has assisted terror victims’ families successfully in suing terrorist organizations for the past 12 years.
“…the Obama administration has spat in the faces of these victims just as (Obama) prepares to leave for Egypt and Saudi Arabia while advocating for the closing of (the U.S. Guantanamo prison in Cuba) and giving full access to the U.S. court system to the terrorists currently imprisoned there,” he said. [ 10 ] wnd.com
And if it is not any of those, then could it be the resolve to celebrate Islam in America, on the day Islam attacked innocent American citizens on American soil?
…Resolution backed by CAIR urges closing schools on Muslim holidays.
It has been widely reported the New York City Council passed a resolution Tuesday recommending the school system shut down to commemorate two of the most important Muslim holidays, however the reports did not note the holidays fall on Sept. 11 in some years.
The Islamic holidays being considered for commemoration are Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr. [ 11 ] wnd.com
Final Thoughts
Mr. Obama what kind of resolve are you referring to in your speech you made just two days ago?
By the actions you are demonstrating to the American people it seems that the words you speak are nothing more than words filled with empty meaning, words that are only here to tickle the ears of the naive and foolish, words that are used to manipulate your followers into the world that no American is going to want, a world you call change, a world everyone else calls socialism.
If you truly have the best interest for this country, to uphold the constitution of this nation, then please, Mr. Obama, prove yourself; not by more of your empty words, but instead prove yourself by the steps you need to take in order to defend our constitution, to defend our nation against the new threat called Islam that attacked our nation eight years ago on September 11th, murdering 3,000 innocent American men, women and children.
Mr. Obama, no more empty filled words, it is time to start speaking the truth, it is time to start defending this nation that you swore to protect.

Obama on 9/11: ‘No words can ease the ache of your hearts’ http://www.cnn.com
On the eighth anniversary of 9/11, an FBI informant who infiltrated U.S. terrorist cells, says the FBI missed a chance to stop the al Qaeda plot because they focused more on undercover stings than on the man who would later become known as 9/11 ringleader Mohammed Atta and Adnan el Shukrujumah, one of Atta’s key associates.
Former undercover operative Elie Assaad, a 36-year-old Catholic native of Lebanon who pretended to be a Muslim extemist, says he spotted and became suspicious of Atta and Shukrujumah in early 2001, when he was sent by the FBI to infiltrate a small mosque in Broward County, Florida.
“There was something wrong with these guys,” Assaad told Brian Ross of ABC News.
According to Assaad, Gulshair Shukrujumah, Adnan’s father who served as the imam at the radical mosque, invited the undercover FBI operative to meet him at his home, but the FBI told him to stay away.
Instead of allowing the meeting, Assad says the FBI assigned him to a sting operation, thereby ending any hope of infiltrating the real al Qaeda terrorists.
Former national security official Richard Clarke, now an ABC News consultant, says the case is “yet another example of the way the system broke down prior to 9/11.”
“If the system had worked,” Clarke insists, “we might have been able to identify these people before the attacks.”
Assaad, who posed as a personal representative of Osama bin Laden, says he’s a “million percent positive” the 9/11 attacks could have been stopped if the FBI had gone after Atta and Shukrujumah.
Atta was killed when he piloted American Airlines Flight 11 into the World Trade Center, but Adnan el-Shukrujama remains at large.
Shukrujumah remains the most wanted al-Qaeda operative in the western hemisphere. The FBI has labelled him a “one-man terror cell” – - a terrorist trained not only to build radiological weapons and to maintain tactical nukes but also to detonate such devices within major American cities without a logistical backup crew.
The U.S. Justice Department has posted a $5 million reward for any information leading to Shukrujumah’s arrest.
The United States may have narrowly missed a repeat of the 9/11 attacks in June — and, apparently, even the FBI doesn’t realize it.
On June 4, a 24-year-old Muslim man named Raed Abdhul-Rahman Alsaif was arrested for trying to bring a seven-inch knife on board a U.S. Airways flight at Tampa International Airport, destined for Phoenix. The blade was seen by a screener and Alsaif was caught before he could get onto the airliner. Of course, he says he is innocent, as some forgetful friend gave him the luggage bag and failed to mention that a knife was embedded inside the material, which the criminal complaint stateswas “artfully” concealed in such a way as to allow for it to be retrieved once the flight took off.
Alsaif graduated from the Islamic Saudi Academy in Virginia in 2003. For those that don’t remember, this school has been embroiled in a little bit of controversy the past two years. In October 2007, the U.S. Commission on International Religion Freedom requested that the State Department close the school, citing the use of textbooks filled with extremism. The commission again reported on the school’s radical curriculum in June 2008. One graduate has been convicted of working with al-Qaeda, while two former students were kicked out of Israel upon landing due to clear signs they were planning suicide bombings.
Private investigator Bill Warner notes that when Alsaif was booked and photographed by police in October on his second arrest on drug charges, he had a beard — a beard that was shaven off before he attempted to board the U.S. Airways flight. For those that think this is all attributable to coincidence, there’s another key element to consider.
On the same day, June 4, two otherindividuals, Roshid Milledge and Damien Young, were arrested in Philadelphia after sneaking a handgun onto a flight. The airline? U.S. Airways. The destination? Phoenix. The departing time? About 35 minutes from the flight Alsaif attempted to board, using the same airliner and with the same destination.
The FBI immediately cast doubt on questions that the two were part of a terrorist plot or even connected to Alsaif.
“This investigation represents an isolated incident, involving only these two individuals,” the FBI press release following their arrest states.
I don’t know what’s more frightening: the fact that the FBI so readily dismissed the remarkably similar arrests as unconnected, or the fact that in the latter case, the handgun actually made it on board the aircraft and the suspects were only apprehended after another passenger reported them as engaging in suspicious behavior. The aircraft was then turned around and brought back to the gates.
Luckily, the FBI does appear to have common sense and the tone has changed. A spokesperson has said, “We don’t know if there is a connection, but we are checking it out.”
However, the fact remains that the FBI prematurely dismissed a possible connection, reflecting a desire to immediately squash speculation about a wider plot. Either the FBI was aware of the similarities in the arrests and deliberately misled the public, or they failed to look into other data indicating a wider conspiracy before making a conclusion. Either way, it does not reflect well upon the FBI.
The hit-or-miss Israeli website Debkafile reported on July 7 that U.S. and German intelligence believes that 15-20 al-Qaeda terrorists have been trained in Pakistan and Algeria and are now hiding in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Turkey, and Egypt. Their mission, according to the report, is to hijack and bomb Western airliners headed to Israel and the United States.
Are we really to believe these three events are unrelated — the arrest of Milledge and Young, the arrest of Alsaif, and the reported warning about attacks on airliners?
The good news is that a 9/11 plot may have been thwarted. The bad news is that the public and possibly the FBI are unaware that they even have had a success, failing to connect obvious dots. If the coincidences of these cases are not addressed and if they are attributed to chance, then we’ve truly fallen out of the post-9/11 mindset and only a disaster will wake us up.

For example, “Hamas was nurtured from the ground up by Israel’s Mossad and Institute for Intelligence and Special Tasks.” No, no! not true. The bottom line is the report and what the report says. I posted this piece because it’s interesting stuff to read. Truth be told: the Government houses the real terrorists! Just remember, the ones with the guns wins!
Also as a reminder: July 4th will be the next date for the massive nation-wide Tea Parties. Please find a Tea Party near you and join in on the fun!
**Walking away disgusted! Calling taxpaying citizens in disagreement with their gov’t’s big bully tactics, terrorists! We’ll see who wins in the end!**
Another document designating Americans as terrorists has surfaced. The document, entitled “Crisis Controlled: Assessing Potential Threats of Violence,” authored by Trooper John R. Wright, is posted on the official website of the Commonwealth of Virginia, under the Department of Human Resources Management.

In March, the Virginia State Police and the Virginia Fusion Center produced a report entitled “2009 Virginia Terrorism Threat Assessment.” In response, Virginia Governor Timothy M. Kaine ordered an investigation of the fusion center. The report designates university-based students groups as terrorist groups.
Presented in slideshow format, the latest document lists gun rights, pro-life, constitutional issues, tax protesters, and “anti-government groups” as domestic terror threats. Anarchists, separatists, “single issue,” and religious cults are listed along with al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hizballah, al-Jihad, Aryan Nations, neo-Nazi, skinheads, black separatists, and the Klu Klux Klan.
The Black Bloc anarchists are a notorious government front. In keeping with the well-documented “strategy of tension” technique pioneered by the CIA-NATO contrivance Gladio, so-called anarchists (who were police agents provocateurs) engaged in violence during the anti-globalist Genoa protests in 2001. As Alex Jones documents in his film Police State 2: The Takeover, the Black Bloc anarchists in Seattle during the WTO protests of 1999 were effectively infiltrated and provocateured by the authorities. During the Montebello globalist summit in Quebec in 2007, several “anarchists” were outed as police agents.
In short, many if not most of the terrorist groups listed in the “Crisis Controlled” document are false flag operations specifically designed to discredit and subvert legitimate opposition to the government.
Trooper John R. Wright’s slideshow weighs heavily on “protective measures” against these manufactured threats. He tells us that terrorists will try to “fit in” and cites Timothy McVeigh, Luke John Helder (the so-called mailbox bomber), and Sarah Jane Olson as examples of people who on the surface appear to be average citizens. Sarah Jane Olson, aka Kathleen Soliah, was a patsy member of the Symbionese Liberation Army, a classic government created terror group. McVeigh’s connection to the government is noted above.
Wright urges citizens to actively become snoops and instructs them to consider innocuous behavior as suspected terrorist activity. People who avoid community contact and value privacy are to be considered possible terrorists, as well as those who make “unusual purchases” or have “numerous visitors/meetings.”
Wright’s slideshow provides the following as an example of a terrorist lead:
“I saw a white male, about 6 ft tall wearing black combat pants, a black t-shirt, and boots with the pants tucked in, taking notes for at least 2 hours outside the front entrance to the Courthouse. He was standing near a brown Ford pick-up truck, PA SYE-141, with a rusting tailgate and a bumper sticker that said, “Say No to the New World Order”. (Emphasis added.)
In other words, if you listen to Alex Jones, have an anti-NWO bumper sticker on your vehicle, or wear certain clothing you may be reported to the Virginia State Police as a possible terrorist worthy of “subsequent investigation.”
“Crisis Controlled: Assessing Potential Threats of Violence” is another example of an orchestrated effort by police agencies — now fully federalized and under the sway of the Department of Homeland Security — to designate legitimate and constitutionally protected opposition to government policies as violent terrorist activity.
On June 15, Steve Watson reported on a Department of Defense anti-terrorism training course that characterized Americans exercising their First Amendment right as terrorists. The ACLU contacted the DoD regarding its Antiterrorism and Force Protection Annual Refresher Training Course, which advises personnel that political protest amounts to “low-level terrorism.”
“The ACLU points out that although in and of itself the classification of protest as terrorism is deeply disturbing, it is even more alarming when viewed in the context of the Pentagon’s long term efforts to crack down on organized dissent,” write Watson.
The Pentagon training course flagging protesters as terrorists came on the heels of the Department of Homeland Security’s “extremism” report. In the DHS report, pro-life, Second Amendment, anti-illegal immigration and “antigovernment” activists are characterized as terrorists.
An earlier report issued by the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) entitled “The Modern Militia Movement” and dated February 20, 2009, specifically described supporters of presidential candidates Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, and Bob Barr as “militia” influenced terrorists and instructed the Missouri police to be on the lookout for supporters displaying bumper stickers and other paraphernalia associated with the Constitutional, Campaign for Liberty, and Libertarian parties.
The MIAC report was subsequently pulled after Alex Jones went public with the story. An anonymous police officer in Missouri had sent the MIAC report to Jones.
The Virginia State Police need to receive complaints about this latest document. The Virginia State Police “Terrorist Tip Hotline” is 1-877-4VA-TIPS. The telephone number to the Virginia State Police administrative headquarters is (804) 674-2936. The administrative office handles questions concerning Department policy and procedure (email address:bonnie.crowder@vsp.virginia.gov). Please contact the Virginia State Police and politely indicate you do not appreciate the police urging citizens to become snoops and characterizing lawful behavior as terrorism.
On April 6 in an address to the parliament of Turkey, US President Obama said that the relationship between the United States and the “Muslim world” is an important one. “In fact, our partnership with the Muslim world is critical,” the president said. During the same address the President stated, “We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over so many centuries to shape the world for the better, including my own country.” Mr. Obama neglected to explain in what way(s) Islam has the shaped and improved the United States. The founding fathers of the United States did not share Mr. Obama’s appreciation for the “Islamic faith”. In fact Jefferson, Adams, JQ Adams, and Benjamin Franklin were all were deeply concerned about the dangers that Islam represented to the new nation. Our ongoing experiences with the 21st century version of the Barbary pirates off the coast of Somalia, most recently today when an American freighter captain was freed from pirate captivity by the US Navy, illustrates a great deal about our prior relations with the “religion of peace” and how our previous leaders reacted. There is little discussion in the mainstream press about the link between Somali Islamism, piracy, and jihad, but the linkage is there nonetheless.
al-qaeda behind piracy
In spite of the news media distancing the recent attack on a cruise ship off the coast of Somalia from global terrorism, intelligence experts believe this is just the latest operation initiated against the United States and the West by Al-Qaeda. (source)
The irony perhaps is that Islam did in fact play a very important role in the early stages of the development of the United States – Islam was directly responsible for the development of the United States Navy and for the concepts that allowed for its deployment far from our coasts. The American Navy is not a river navy or coastal defense force; it is a global tool of American power whose origins can be traced directly back to an earlier American-Islam confrontation. After the American Revolution, pirates from the Barbary states (Algiers, Morcoco) attacked American shipping off the coast of North Africa in the Mediterranean and took the crews. This piracy against
As I sit and ponder on the events that transpired eight years ago against our nation, it forces me wonder what ever happened to America since then.
