Army Spc. Bradley Manning: arrested in WikiLeaks classified Iraq video case
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 8/Jun/2010 00:43
Video still from Wikileaks.org, taken from video allegedly leaked in April by Army Spec. Bradley Manning
“Army Spc. Bradley Manning has been arrested in connection with the April release of classified footage of a US helicopter mistakenly shooting Iraqi civilians to website WikiLeaks.
The US Army has arrested Specialist Bradley Manning, a soldier deployed in Iraq with the 10th Mountain Division, on charges that he allegedly released classified information. The military is looking at a possible connection between Spc. Manning and WikiLeaks, an online whistleblower organization which in April published a graphic video of an Apache gunship mistakenly shooting civilians.
Wired.com reported that he was caught after he boasted to a former computer hacker of leaking hundreds of thousands of classified documents and the combat video footage, including the gun camera videos of the deadly 2007 Baghdad incident subsequently posted on WikiLeaks.”
South Korea, Israel Under the Gun
Posted by Gary in News, Threat Watch on 7/Jun/2010 15:18
A history lesson and some perspective from Col. North
After the Cheonan, an ROK navy patrol boat, blew up in international waters, killing 46 sailors March 26, Seoul’s military — as our mutual defense treaty requires — turned to the U.S. for advice on how to respond. The O-Team counseled caution — urging the South Koreans to invite an “international committee” to conduct a “fair, impartial and transparent investigation” to determine what happened.
Sinseong, a sister ship of Cheonan
They did — and the panel found overwhelming evidence that the Cheonan had been sunk by a torpedo fired from a North Korean submarine. The Obama administration’s response to this overt act of war: to refer the matter to the United Nations. In Pyongyang, the brutal regime that has starved its people to build nuclear weapons now promises “total war.”
It’s even worse for Israel — abandoned by the Obama administration and beleaguered by the prospect of an Iranian nuclear weapon’s detonating on Tel Aviv, renewed rocket attacks on civilians from Iranian-supplied Hamas terrorists in Gaza, and a rearmed, Iranian-supplied Hezbollah terror movement in southern Lebanon. Last week’s flawed effort by Israel Defense Forces to inspect a so-called “humanitarian aid flotilla” for weapons and military equipment has resulted in international opprobrium because nine “activists” aboard the vessels were killed. The O-Team’s response: to demand that the United Nations conduct a “fair, impartial and transparent investigation.” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has to be thankful no one insisted on a U.N. investigation after more than 70 were killed in Waco, Texas, in April 1993.
UN Treaty Is Backdoor Gun Ban For USA
Via Big Government:
Gun owners might not feel besieged right now, but they should be very concerned. Last week the Obama administration announced its support for the UN Small Arms Treaty. This treaty poses real risks for freedom and safety in the United States as well as the rest of the world.
The UN’s solution isn’t too surprising when one looks at the long list of notorious totalitarian regimes, such as Syria, Cuba, Rwanda, Vietnam, Zimbabwe, and Sierra Leone, which support these “reforms.†But not all insurgencies are “bad.†To ban providing guns to rebels in totalitarian countries is like arguing that there is never anything such as a just war.

“Two New Jersey men who were bound for Somalia with the stated intention of joining an Islamic extremist group to kill American troops were arrested at Kennedy International Airport late Saturday.”
Mohamed Mahmood Alessa, 20: United States citizen, born in the United States to Palestinian and Jordanian parents.
Carlos Eduardo Almonte, 24: naturalized United States citizen, born in the Dominican Republic.
[Mohamed Mahmood Alessa to undercover officer]: “They only fear you when you have a gun and when you — when you start killing them, and when you — when you take their head, and you go like this, and you behead it on camera.†He added: “We’ll start doing killing here, if I can’t do it over there.â€

Anthony J. Tracy: helped 270 Somalis illegally enter the United States through Cuba.
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Threat Watch on 5/Jun/2010 23:36
“This much is known about Anthony J. Tracy: He told government agents that he helped 270 Somalis illegally enter the United States through Cuba. He failed a lie detector test when he denied helping members of the Somali terrorist group Al Shabaab. He was some sort of informant for the federal government going back at least as far as 2002.
Mr. Tracy, 35, told government agents that members of Al Shabaab, a group that is seeking to impose strict Islamic law in Somalia and has claimed responsibility for suicide bombing attacks, were among those who contacted him for help securing fake travel documents. Mr. Tracy denied helping them but failed that portion of a polygraph test.
The unredacted portions of the transcript indicate that Mr. Tracy, while living in Kenya, served as an informant for ICE and at least one other government agency as far back as 2002. In an e-mail message sent this year to an associate, he wrote, “I helped a lot of Somalis and most are good, but there are some who are bad and I leave them to Allah.â€
… on Friday, Mr. Tracy, of Winchester, Va., was sentenced to roughly four months in jail, equal to time served, and walked out a free man.”

CIA officer Darren James LaBonte
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 5/Jun/2010 12:33
This is photo provided by family shows Darren James LaBonte, 35, in Afghanistan in 2007. LaBonte was one of seven CIA employees who died when a suicide bomber blew himself up at a U.S. base in Khost, Afghanistan
“LaBonte grew up in Connecticut. He played baseball and football at Brookfield High School. He turned down a shot at professional baseball with the Cleveland Indians when he graduated from high school in 1992 and opted for the Army, said his father, a former Navy SEAL.
LaBonte earned the celebrated black and yellow Ranger patch and was assigned to First Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, one of the toughest units.”

No mosque at Ground Zero – Pat Condell
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Opinion on 4/Jun/2010 22:53
Commentary by Pat Condell
“In case you haven’t heard, there’s a plan to build a 13 story Islamic center and mosque a few yards from ground zero in New York…is it possible to be astonished but not surprised?
Apparently it’s not enough that nearly 3,000 innocent people had to lose their lives in a hideous act of religious mass murder but now their memory has to be insulted as well, and the religion that murdered them allowed to build a towering triumphant mosque on the ground where they died.
Any religion that endorses violence is incapable of delivering spiritual enlightenment”

Al Shabaab Threats Against the United States?
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 4/Jun/2010 13:48
This report is republished with permission of STRATFOR
By Scott Stewart
On the afternoon of Sunday, May 30, an Aeromexico flight from Paris to Mexico City was forced to land in Montreal after authorities discovered that a man who was on the U.S. no-fly list was aboard. The aircraft was denied permission to enter U.S. airspace, and the aircraft was diverted to Trudeau International Airport in Montreal. The man, a Somali named Abdirahman Ali Gaall, was removed from the plane and arrested by Canadian authorities on an outstanding U.S. warrant. After a search of all the remaining passengers and their baggage, the flight was allowed to continue to its original destination.
Gaall reportedly has U.S. resident-alien status and is apparently married to an American or Canadian woman. Media reports also suggest that he is connected with the Somali jihadist group al Shabaab. Gaall was reportedly deported from Canada to the United States on June 1, and we are unsure of the precise charges brought against him by the U.S. government, but more information should be forthcoming once he has his detention hearing. From the facts at hand, however, it appears likely that he has been charged for his connection with al Shabaab, perhaps with a crime such as material support to a designated terrorist organization.
Last week, the Department of Homeland Security issued a lookout to authorities in Texas, warning that another Somali purportedly linked to al Shabaab was believed to be in Mexico and was allegedly planning to attempt to cross the border into the United States. This lookout appears to be linked to a U.S. indictment in March charging another Somali man with running a large-scale smuggling ring bringing Somalis into the United States through Latin America.
Taken together, these incidents highlight the increased attention the U.S. government has given to al Shabaab and the concern that the Somali militant group could be planning to conduct attacks in the United States. Although many details pertaining to the Gaall case remain unknown at this time, these incidents involving Somalis, Mexico and possible militant connections — and the obvious U.S. concern — provide an opportunity to discuss the dynamics of Somali immigration as it relates to the U.S. border with Mexico, as well as the possibility that al Shabaab has decided to target the United States.

Treating Muslims like adults
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 3/Jun/2010 20:03
by Lewis Loflin:
http://www.sullivan-county.com/islam/index.htm
Definition of Islamists, Islamo-fascism: any form of civil or political Islam.
Islam in any political sense isn’t compatible with the US Constitution or modern civilized society.
Muslims should be welcome to keep it in their homes and mosques, but it must be utterly rejected in any civil or legal sphere. That means taking a rational inquiry into Muslim culture. Asking these questions are not racism or Islamophobia, but a right under the Constitution, the only basis of law in America.
Jews for example, have never demanded special treatment in public schools. We have never banned pork nor do we install special religious anything, including baths, etc for them. So who are Muslims to demand special treatment?
It isn’t uncommon to trash each others religion in the West, it’s part of free speech even if distasteful or just plain ignorant. But we have no group that threatens violence or murder in the streets as some Muslims do. They demand we respect Islam, and I agree.
They can be treated like everyone else and expected to act like Americans, British, etc.
It’s time to treat Muslims as adults and hold them directly responsible for their actions with no excuses, and to reassert our traditional values and culture as well. That means no form of Muslim civil or family courts are to be tolerated. There will be the strict enforcement of laws against any Muslim, Hindu, or even Christian custom that violates American civil law.”
Twenty-Year Plan: Islam Targets America
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 3/Jun/2010 19:47
Is there a specific, organized plan that is being implemented by Islamists to take control of the U.S.?
Dr. Anis Shorrosh believes there is.
In this article he spells out specific steps that are being taken and strategies being followed to steadily gain control in the US without firing a shot.
We will use your democracy to destroy your democracy. – Muslim cleric Bakri Mohammed
Look around you, watch carefully, pay attention to TV shows and movies that Hollywood is producing, read what Dr. Shorrosh says is already happening in the US.
Is Dr. Shorrosh’s warning nothing more than crazy paranoia? So what’s “the plan”? Read it here:
