Chinese missile could shift Pacific power balance

“Nothing projects U.S. global air and sea power more vividly than supercarriers. Bristling with fighter jets that can reach deep into even landlocked trouble zones, America’s virtually invincible carrier fleet has long enforced its dominance of the high seas.
China may soon put an end to that.
U.S. naval planners are scrambling to deal with what analysts say is a game-changing weapon being developed by China…”

Today’s Taqiyya: The purpose of the Ground Zero, Cordoba mosque is healing, reconciliation and harmony
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Opinion, Threat Watch on 17/Aug/2010 22:42
“If, as backers claim, the purpose of this Cordoba mosque and community center were healing, reconciliation and harmony, it has failed in its purpose. It has already had the opposite effect, enraging and dividing the city and country.
Why would backers of the project press ahead when its purpose is impossible to attain, unless the real purpose were to impose on the people of New York a mosque they do not want there?

KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghanistan’s president issued a decree Tuesday ordering private security companies to disband by the end of the year, drawing a warning from the United States that the move could delay reconstruction and development assistance programs.
Indonesia: Another fine example of religious tolerance

“Religious minorities in Indonesia push back
For months, Christians in the industrial city of Bekasi have been warned against worshiping on a field that houses their shuttered church. They’ve arrived to find human feces dumped on the land and sermons have been interrupted by demonstrators chanting “Infidels!” and “Leave now!”
But last week, tensions finally exploded.
Twenty worshippers were met by 300 Islamic hard-liners, many of whom hurled shoes and water bottles before pushing past a row of riot police. The mob chased down and punched several members of the group.
“The Batak Christians deserve to be stabbed to death,” yelled Murhali Barda, who heads the FPI chapter in Bekasi. “If they refuse to go home we are ready to fight.”
An argument broke out between Barda and three female members of the congregation. The hard-liners shoved and started punching them. All the while, men chanted from a truck and clerics made speeches saying “Leave. … We will not let you perform prayers here!”
Hard-liners have also become more violent, according to the Setara Institute for Peace and Democracy, a human rights group, which said there have already been 28 attacks on religious freedom in 2010, including everything from preventing groups from performing prayers to burning houses of worship.”
Colonel Allen West Answers a Marine’s Question
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Threat Watch on 16/Aug/2010 20:33
“The first thing you’ve got to do is study and understand who you’re up against. You must realize that this is not a religion that you’re fighting against. You’re fighting against a theo-political belief system and construct.
You’re fighting against something that has been doing this since 622 A.D. – SEVEN CENTURIES – thirteen hundred and eighty-eight years…
You need to get into the Koran, you need to understand their precepts, you need to read the Sura, you need to read the Hadiths, and then you can really understand: this is not a perversion, they are doing exactly what this book says.
Until you get principled leadership in the United States that is willing to say that, we will continue to chase our tail, because we will never clearly define who this enemy is and understand their goals and objectives which is on any jihadist website and then come up with the right and proper objectives to not only secure our Republic, but to secure Western Civilization.â€
A Brit’s perspective on the Ground Zero Mosque
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Opinion, Threat Watch on 16/Aug/2010 20:21
“In case you haven’t heard, there’s a plan afoot to build a 13-story Islamic Center and Mosque a few yards from Ground Zero in New York – a plan that’s been enthusiastically welcomed by politicians and civic leaders, eager to show how tolerant they are (at other people’s expense)…
The organization behind this scheme is called the Cordoba Initiative, and the building is to be called “Cordoba House†and this is because Cordoba, or COR-doh-ba, is the city in southern Spain where Muslims built their first great mosque at the start of, and as a symbol of, their conquest of Spain.
The Ground Zero mosque is intended to serve the same purpose in America.
Building mosques on conquered sacred ground is standard practice – it’s what Islam has always done to assert its supremacy – and that is what’s happening here.
And of course they know how insulting it is, how offensive it is – are you kidding me? Why do you think they chose a site as close as possible to Ground Zero? Or do you think that that was just an accident?
And they also know that once it’s built it will be there forever, as a permanent affront to all Americans, gloating in triumph and a major bridgehead in the on-going stealth jihad.
That’s how the Muslim world will see it, and that’s how they’ll be encouraged to see it – and to be fair to them, that’s exactly what it will be, confirming what they always suspected: that America is a soft country, a decadent country, crippled by political correctness, confused and guilt-ridden, with no backbone and no pride.
They plan to open it next year, on September 11th – the tenth anniversary of the atrocity.
Is that tasteless enough for you? ”

Zeta Leader Killed in Shootout in Monterrey
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch on 16/Aug/2010 18:00
“Following a pursuit and confrontation with the military, four members of an armed group were killed by gunfire after they come out shooting from an SUV in Colonia Caracol south of Monterrey.
Military sources reported that a convoy of three army units ran into two SUV’s along Avenida Chapultepec, about 500 meters east of the junction with Revolution.
When the military attempted to stop the two vehicles for an inspection, the vehicles sped away at full speed on a west bound direction.
While fleeing, the gunmen launched an attack against the military that forced the military to respond back with gunfire.
Mexican police say narco-blockades are becoming more common in Monterrey, with the most recent occurring Saturday. Earlier this month, soldiers stood guard around stolen trailers used by gunmen to form a barricade on a main road.

Napolitano: Enough Enforcement Already; Time for “a pathway to legalization”.
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Opinion, Threat Watch on 16/Aug/2010 17:52
“The ink was barely dry on the new, rather sparse border spending legislation before Homeland Security boss Janet Napolitano piped up for the big amnesty enchilada.
And the enforcement ducks aren’t in line by a long shot.
A small fraction (1200) of the recommended number (6000) of National Guard troops promised for August 1 are going to arrive somewhat later than that. Plus a few hundred million dollars for border security is small change in a town where nothing important goes for less than billions. Washington is sending Mexico $1.4 billion for its interior law enforcement, in one example of government priorities.
About those National Guard troops, 470 have received their orders and will be trained for border duty, and the remainder will arrive in 60 to 90 days (Guard troops receive orders, training for border duty, August 12, 2010, Army.mil). There’s no rush to defend America’s dangerously open perimeter, that’s for sure.”

Mexicans Discover Mutilated Body of Police Officer
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch on 15/Aug/2010 21:53
Residents in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, discovered the severely mutilated body of a federal police officer Sunday outside a strip mall, the latest victim in Mexico’s ongoing drug war.
Unknown assailants “pulled off the hands, feet, head, legs and arms” of the victim, the state of Chihuahua prosecutor’s office said.
Other victims reported over the weekend include three in the border town of Palomas — their heads were left on benches in the downtown plaza — three killed in the state capital Chihuahua City, four in Parral, and five shot dead in Ciudad Juarez, police said.
Pakistan Navy trained terrorists that attacked Mumbai. Provided boat for attack.

“NEW DELHI: In yet another indication of the involvement of Pakistani establishment in the 26/11 Mumbai attack, LeT operativeDavid Headley has corroborated the statement of lone captured terrorist Ajmal Amir Kasab that the terrorists got training from Pakistan Navy.
During his interrogation, Kasab confessed that the ten terrorists, including himself, who attacked Mumbai received training of swimming and underwater diving from the Pakistan Navy’s frogmen.
Headley has also told his interrogators that the Pakistani intelligence agency had paid Rs 25 lakh to LeT to purchase a boat which terrorists used to travel from Karachi to the Pakistani maritime boundary, where they hijacked an Indian fishing boat ‘Kuber’ to reach Mumbai.”
U.S. Plans Cyber Shield for Utilities, Companies
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch on 15/Aug/2010 21:33
“The federal government is launching an expansive program dubbed “Perfect Citizen” to detect cyber assaults on private companies and government agencies running such critical infrastructure as the electricity grid and nuclear-power plants, according to people familiar with the program.
The surveillance by the National Security Agency, the government’s chief eavesdropping agency, would rely on a set of sensors deployed in computer networks for critical infrastructure that would be triggered by unusual activity suggesting an impending cyber attack, though it wouldn’t persistently monitor the whole system, these people said.”
Smuggling operations infecting NORTHERN border
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Threat Watch on 15/Aug/2010 21:25
According to Oliver King (Iranian illegal alien Hamid Malekpour), this is an accurate depiction of your average American hunter.
“The northern border is apparently a new focus of the arms trade. The Yamhill Valley News-Register of McMinnville, Ore., reported in May that a major cache of weapons was found in a storage unit in Ferndale, Wash.
The alleged smuggler was listed in the complaint as Iranian illegal alien Hamid Malekpour, who sometimes uses the alias Oliver King.
Longmire reports that weapons smuggling from the north is increasingly common, but the purpose for Iranians to bring in weapons through Washington state is unclear.”
Agents eventually arrested him at a storage locker in Ferndale where they say King had stowed over $30,000 worth of guns and ammo.”

Protecting the Critical Infrastructure
Posted by Gary in Comms, Threat Watch on 15/Aug/2010 12:40
From: IDGA
With a turbulent economic outlook, advancing threats from cyber criminals and an ongoing oil spill impacting our global ecosystem; the challenge of protecting the critical infrastructure can no longer be an exercise in reactive security. Caretakers of these systems have to look at changing how they monitor, control, and recover in the event of a cyberevent. By the looks of things BP is dealing with their fair share of Hacktivism right now.
