Using powerful technology, U.S. authorities intercept telephone calls in Mexico resulting in spectacular arrests
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 20/Oct/2010 17:14
“Washington, D.C. – Investigations by United States federal authorities included the monitoring of telephone calls of Mexican drug cartels, according to The Washington Post.
Using powerful, modern technology, U.S. authorities have been able to intercept telephone calls in Mexico that resulted in spectacular arrests such as that of Jesus Quinonez Marquez, Prosecutor General of Baja California, who was an operative in a narcotics ring. Quinonez was known as “El Rinon,†and he was arrested by the FBI last July in San Diego, California in an investigation that resulted in criminal charges against 42 more people.
Besides Quinonez, 34 other suspects were detained in the United States and 8 more are fugitives.”

US war protesters cry foul over FBI terrorism raids
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 25/Sep/2010 16:45
CHICAGO: Anti-war protesters have claimed their homes and offices were raided by the FBI on Friday in an attempt to silence dissent in the US.
An FBI spokesman confirmed agents searched six locations in Minneapolis and two in Chicago as part of an investigation into ”activities concerning the material support of terrorism”.
Special Agent Steve Warfield of the Minneapolis branch of the FBI declined to confirm who was raided, saying only that the warrants remained sealed. ”There’s no imminent threat to the community,” Warfield said. ”We did not plan on making any arrests and we did not make any arrests.”
Activist Mick Kelly, an organizer of a huge anti-war rally on the opening day of the 2008 Republican National Convention, said the FBI had kicked down his door about 7am on Friday after he had already left for work.
”To me this is harassment of anti-war activists and leaders who have spoken against US intervention in Latin America and the Middle East,” Kelly said. He insisted he had ”absolutely not” been involved in any illegal activities.
”I am angry,” she said. ”I want people to know that the government is targeting people for our ideas.”

Shaheed Hussain: FBI informant, key in catching “homegrown” Muslim terrorists

NEW YORK — Four Muslim men charged with trying to blow up New York synagogues and shoot down military planes will be reunited at their trial with someone who was in on the plot every step of the way: a wire-wearing FBI informant named Shaheed Hussain.
The government credits Hussain with rooting out radical Muslims at a mosque in Newburgh, a small town north of New York.
Authorities last year called the case a “chilling plot” involving “extremely violent men” who represented a growing, dire homegrown terrorism threat.

Homegrown Muslim terrorists, eh? Huh. I wonder where they grew…in a Lutheran church? Where’d they learn to be terrorists, who taught them this was a good thing? Maybe they picked it up from Sesame Street. Or maybe they learned it at a MOSQUE.
People are letting themselves get distracted by the diversionary tactic of, “We’re a religion, we’re a religion! A Mosque is just like a church, so let us build more.”
No, a mosque is not just like a church – because most churches don’t train terrorists to do all they can to destroy America.
Some of the very same people who rant about a Nativity scene threatening their liberty, or freak out because they think that a copy of the 10 commandments is a gross intrusion of religion into government, are calling for us all to be perfectly OK with building mosques and are completely blind, have no idea, what they are letting in the door with Sharia Law.
You think Baptists are pushy because they want to discourage the killing of unborn babies? You think Evangelicals saying “Homosexuality is a Sin” is oppressive?
Brother, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Wait until dedicated Muslims start doing Allah’s work in the US, when they start killing gays because they don’t follow the Koran. And that’s just the beginning of how a growing Muslim influence could impact you. Do a little research on “dhimmi”, find out what a “dhimmi” is (hint: it’s you under Sharia Law)
If you think this is wild paranoia, then you need to look more closely at Europe and the UK, see how Islam is working out for them.

Escalating Violence From the Animal Liberation Front

By Scott Stewart
On July 22, special agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the FBI arrested Walter Bond in Denver and charged him with conducting the April 30 arson that destroyed a Glendale, Colo., business, the Sheepskin Factory, which sold a variety of sheepskin products. According to an affidavit completed by a special agent assigned to the Denver ATF field office, Bond used the nom de guerre, “ALF Lone Wolf†and boasted to a confidential informant that he not only torched the Sheepskin Factory but also was responsible for a June 5 fire at a leather factory in Salt Lake City and a July 3 fire at a restaurant in Sandy, Utah.
The Bond case serves as a reminder that activists with organizations such as the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) are still very active — indeed, there have been several firebombing attacks by such activists in the United States this year, not only at businesses but also at the homes of animal researchers. And there have been scores of animal rights-related attacks in other countries, with Mexico being among the most active. The Bond case also provides an opportunity to examine the manner in which the animal liberation movement conducts its leaderless resistance campaign, to draw lessons from the case and to assess the trajectory of the animal rights movement.

Combat to Clays: A Woman’s Journey
From: Heide Kaser
When I left the FBI Academy after sixteen weeks of training in 1986, I was covered in
Heide Kaser
the most beautiful shades of purple, green, and yellow from my face to my collarbone, and down my bicep. The shotgun was too long, and my long neck and high cheekbones made it impossible to mount the gun properly to my shoulder while maintaining a proper sight picture (which is critical to defensive shotgun shooting). I lifted my face off the gun while shooting creating a horrible flinch, and all of the bad habits that ensue when shooting an ill-fitted gun followed suit. I was convinced that no one had ever hated a shotgun like I did in my bruised and frustrated condition.
Despite all odds, I was determined to accomplish two things:Â learn to shoot properly
Heide Kaser
without pain, and share with others (especially women), the training and tricks I had learned over time. Thirteen years later, armed with the knowledge that comes from first-hand experience and training, I was hired by the NRA’s Law Enforcement Activities Division. I had the opportunity to share what I had learned by training police officers and members of the military to become Law Enforcement Firearm Instructors in handgun, rifle, and yes, shotgun.
I set my sights on expanding my shotgun knowledge into other realms.I sought out top combat and competitive instructors, and made great progress after spending a week at Tac Pro Shooting Center in Texas with Bill Davidson, and practicing with the United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) Grand Master Greg Wodack (who manages the NRA Range in Fairfax, VA).
