“Americans”

The Pentagon

NYT:

U.S. Admits for First Time Drones Killed 4 Americans

One day before President Obama is due to deliver a major speech on national security, his administration on Wednesday formally acknowledged that the United States had killed four American citizens in drone strikes in Yemen and Pakistan.

In a letter to Congressional leaders obtained by The New York Times, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. disclosed that the administration had deliberately killed Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical Muslim cleric who was killed in a drone strike in September 2011 in Yemen.

The American responsibility for Mr. Awlaki’s death has been widely reported, but the administration had until now refused to confirm or deny it.

The letter also said that the United States had killed three other Americans: Samir Khan, who was killed in the same strike; Mr. Awlaki’s son Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, who was also killed in Yemen; and Jude Mohammed, who was killed in a strike in Pakistan.

“Anwar al-Awlaki,” “Samir Khan,” “Abdulrahman al-Awlaki” and “Jude Mohammed.”  All good nice sounding Yankee Doodle Dandy names, for sure.  And notice that this took place in Yemen and Pakistan, not Iowa or Oregon.

You people too worried about drones for your own good can come off the ledge now.  This wasn’t the Pentagon flying a drone over Cedar Rapids to kill Tom Smith for having run a stop sign.  We’re not to that point.  Yet.

And also…if drones over Whackistan mean that we don’t have to send 400,000 troops to occupy Whackistan, meaning Mohammed al-Terroristiqua gets killed but Pfc Tom Smith from Cedar Rapids doesn’t get killed, that’s perfectly fine by me.

Boston

Steve Sailer nailed this prediction.

Revisit the 19th Amendment, anyone?

Oh yeah, I’m gonna hear about that.  I just made misogynistic policy recommendations based on Twitter banter.

We Know How They Spent the Money

Boston

Some of it went to buy pressure cookers.

I initially entertained the theory that the quickly-deported Saudi student might have had something to do with the Boston Massacre in terms of funding.  But it turns out none of his or their help was needed:  the Tsarnaev Brothers got enough money to do what they did from a combination of the older brother’s wife working her fingers to the bone so both her husband and brother-in-law could lout around, and of course from Yankee taxpayers — You know how that goes:

 

What Difference Does It Make?

Benghazi, Libya

It’s the difference between an accident and homicidal terrorism.

You’d think the smartest woman in the world could grok that.

Condition

Boston

This is an Ethiopian-born buddy of the Tsarnaevs who is accused of disposing of materiel used to commit the Boston Massacre.

He was just let out on bond today, but before they let him go, he had to pass a drug test.

Oh, goody.  He’s accused of helping to hide evidence after a terrorist attack, and what The Man is worried about is whether he’s doing dope.

Any chance of Ethiopia taking him back?

What The?

Boston

The Fourth Amendment was essentially made null and void in parts of Boston to catch him.  Residents were frog marched out of their houses ass naked in front of the media in the middle of the night as part of that.

So after all this, if they don’t fry the little bastard, I’m utterly going to lose my shit.

Trade out the death penalty for information?  Information about what?  Any information he could provide, I can give you for free:  Chechens are problematic and shouldn’t be allowed to immigrate into the country.  Of course you know there will be no immigration changes for this, except if the el cheapo labor lobby and its political shills con us into believing that you need to swing the borders wide open even further than they are already in order to prevent terrorism.

Otherwise, fire up ole sparky.

Priceless

Boston

Pressure cooker:  $120.

Bookbags:  $58.

Killing the infidels?  Priceless.

There are some things money can’t buy.  For everything else, there’s EBT card.

Somebody Had to Say It

Boston

So what if it had to be Bob Beckel?

Rush reacts:

Has there been any reaction to this that you have seen or heard?  Now, if Pat Buchanan had said this or if I had said this yesterday, or if Senator Jeff Sessions had said it or if Rand Paul had said it or if John Boehner had said it, or if George W. Bush at his library opening had said it, if any Republican had said, “We need to send these Muslims back home. We need to consider the fact we have to cut off Muslim students coming to this country.”  I’m stunned.  I’ve had cable news on all day.  They’ve had nobody outraged at what Beckel said.  CAIR hasn’t said anything, Council on Arab-American Islamic Relations.  They haven’t said anything.  I’m stunned by that.

I wouldn’t even bother wondering why there is no outrage from leftists and CAIR types, because I’m glad there is no outrage.  Even though neither PJB nor Jeff Sessions actually said it, you know that they believe it.  What’s said is that neither Rand Paul, John Boehner nor George W. Bush would say this because the wisdom of doing this (and a lot more) would never occur to them.

Speaking of Rush, he had this to say today also:

The media and the pundits are all wondering openly where the Tsarnaev brothers became radicalized.  They’re wringing their hands out there.  They’re trying desperately to figure it out.  Where did they pick up their anti-America, anti-Christian notions?  Did it happen in Chechnya?  Did it happen in the home?  Did it happen in America?  Did it happen on the Internet?  They’re all trying to figure it out.

Well, let me try this.  One of the more disturbing interviews that I have heard was with a man in Cambridge who knew Tamerlan Tsarnaev.  This guy said that Tamerlan Tsarnaev often engaged in anti-American rants.  It was common to hear this guy riff on what a rotten place America is.  So they asked this guy, “Well, why didn’t you ever say anything about it?”  You know what this guy in Cambridge said?  He said Tamerlan’s rants are so commonplace in Cambridge, that he didn’t think there was anything out of the ordinary.  I believe it.  Cambridge, of course, is the home of Harvard, and I made reference to this last Thursday when this was going down.

So much for worrying that these two didn’t assimilate.  Because they actually did assimilate — They fit in perfectly in a town full of anti-white anti-American wacko birds like Cambridge, Massachusetts.

I’m personally getting tired of all this nail-biting hype and hoopla from Official America every time a Muslim terrorist wacko bird acts up.  You know, they all ask, “How did they get radicalized?”  What they’re really asking is, “Just exactly how is what they did our fault?”  In reality, the Chechnyans didn’t “get radicalized,” because they were already “radical” to begin with, practically from the moment of conception.

UPDATE 5 PM

Another wacko bird squaks.  Basically, this one is saying that Boston got what it deserved because it’s too conservative.

 

No Links to AQ

Boston

So what that the Chechnyans had no real discernable links to AQ or any other known radical Islamic terrorist group?

Do you think AQ has a home office in Riyadh where they print membership cards?  AQ is far more branding and imagery than an actual organization.

Future terrorist attacks of the radical Islamic/Jihadist variety will have no links to groups or organizations because the other side learned after 9/11 that if there are links to countries and/or groups, Uncle Sam will come a’callin’ to those countries and/or groups.

Slow Down But Don’t Stop

U.S. Senate

Guess who wants to slow down the amnesty train.

But…before you think he’s changed his mind, read carefully:

I believe that any real comprehensive immigration reform must implement strong national security protections. The facts emerging in the Boston Marathon bombing have exposed a weakness in our current system. If we don’t use this debate as an opportunity to fix flaws in our current system, flaws made even more evident last week, then we will not be doing our jobs.

IOW, RP is greasing the skids for what I predicted earlier today. In reality, we all know that “comprehensive immigration reform” and “strong national security protections” are diametrically opposing concepts.

Noise Machine

Boston

Get ready to hear these two refrains over and over again from Official America or parts thereof:

1.  We need “comprehensive immigration reform” in order to prevent, deter and crack down on terrorism.  The Gang Bangers of Eight bill will actually help us do that, bring terrorists that are already out of the shadows out of the shadows.  Only ignorant rubes think otherwise.

2.  The (real) Russians (“and not Islam”) are actually responsible for the Boston Massacre, therefore we need to admit all of Russia’s neighbors but not Russia itself into NATO, and cooperate with them all except for Russia on a nuclear missile defense shield.

Because:

H/T Nicholas Stix.

UPDATE 4 PM

#1 is already starting to come true.

Neo-Con Hot Tub Time Machine

Chechnya

H/T Glickstein44 on AR for pointing this dated story to my attention.

After the events of the last week, expect the neo-con noise machine and (sym)pathetic Republican Presidential candidate wannabes in 2016 to start fulminating against Russia.

The line of reasoning is among the most stupid I’ve ever read, and that’s saying a lot.  The neos are trying to tell us that Chechnya is full of swarthy semi-Caucasian mountain bandits because Moscow is “undemocratic.”  (By “undemocratic,” they mean the Russian government imprisons the members of trash music bands who desecrate all over symbols of Russian national pride.)  When in reality, it’s the other way around:  The reason Russia isn’t more “democratic” is because it’s often the victim of terrorist attacks from the swarthy semi-Caucasian mountain bandits that call themselves Chechens.

The “undemocratic” Russian government is the only institution on Earth keeping some semblance of a lid on these people.  And now that they’re starting to bother us, we just might have to be as “undemocratic” as Russia is.

Double Gulp

Boston

Oh what I wouldn’t give to be in this room.

I would only need a Double Gulp and about a half hour.

Pray, what are they blurring out?  Whatever it is can’t be more stomach-turning than what they’re showing us.

Pay Close Attention, Rand Paul Et Al.

Chechnya

Volokh Conspiracy:

Yet such freakouts are nothing compared to what is in store if the the Marathon bombing means that Chechen jihadis has come to U.S. shores. The Chechens mounted one of the most vicious terror campaigns ever against Russia in the 1990s, blowing up apartment buildings, and launching massive attacks on theaters and even schools. They are known as among the most violent and dedicated terrorists in the world. They can be found fighting in Libya, Syria and every other major jihadi campaign. Though usually they have to sneak into the target countries, rather than coming on a visa as the Boston bombers apparently did.)

Russia only succeeded in suprresing the Chechen Islamists with extremely brutal tactics that would never find support in the U.S – essentially leveling the Chechen capital. Yet dealing with such a threat would also be impossible with a politically correct approach to counter-terror that, for example, turns away from talking frankly about the terrorists profiles and motives.

Moral of the story? We can have freedom or we can have open borders, but we can’t have both.

Piety

Boston

Drudge:

Tamerlan says he doesn’t usually take his shirt off so girls don’t get bad ideas: “I’m very religious.”

Tamerlan says he doesn’t drink or smoke anymore: “God said no alcohol.” A Muslim, he says: “There are no values anymore,” and worries that “people can’t control themselves.”

We also know he’s on the lam driving a car with one of those noxious “Coexist” bumper stickers. Why does it seem that belligerent people who can’t get along with anyone have those “Coexist” bumper stickers?

What a righteous life he lead. Except for the whole part about NOT KILLING PEOPLE~!1

It’s too bad we’re back to winter around here, and it’s also too bad that I gave up drinking and never started smoking. Otherwise, I’d spend all weekend with no shirt on while drinking and smoking, all the while not killing anyone. It’s my way of sticking it to Allah.

This Was a Good Day For Mark Steyn to Fill In For Rush

Now let’s hope this kills the Gang Bangers of Eight amnesty bill before it even starts.

Let’s also hope this doesn’t give TPTB the dumb idea to go off and invade the world again.

I guess by SPLClogic, I personally now have links to an act of terrorism.

Missouri Republicans Get Real

Jefferson City

State GOP to National GOP:  Nix the Real Fake ID Act.

P-D:

[Congressman James] Sensenbrenner [R-WI] said in 2005 after Real ID passed that it “is vital to preventing foreign terrorists from hiding in plain sight while conducting their operations and planning attacks.”  All but one of the 19 hijackers in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks had U.S. identification, some of which were fraudulent, according to the Sept. 11 commission. The commission recommended the federal government set standards for birth certificates and other identification documents, including driver’s licenses.

Sensenbrenner has more sense (no pun intended) than this.  The proximate causation of 9/11 was 65/86/90, and I know Sensenbrenner knows it, because he’s one of the few House stalwarts on the immigration issue (which, if you didn’t figure it out already, is a clue to why the numbers 65, 86 and 90 are relevant.)

TSA screeners allow fed agent with fake bomb to pass through security at Newark Airport

Newark Airport, which has 1,400 screeners and supervisors, has long struggled with security.

Last year, 52 baggage and traveler screeners were fired and another 19 disciplined for major security lapses and thefts.

Newark Airport was where a screener left a note saying, “Get your freak on, girl,” after finding a vibrator in the bag of a Manhattan attorney in 2011.

That explains a whole lot.

FBI San Francisco:

Federal Agents Arrest Man After He Attempts to Bomb Bank in Oakland

OAKLAND, CA — Federal agents arrested Matthew Aaron Llaneza, age 28, of San Jose, California, this morning after he allegedly attempted to detonate a vehicle-borne explosive device at a bank branch in Oakland.

Llaneza’s arrest was the culmination of an undercover operation during which he was closely monitored by the FBI’s South Bay Joint Terrorism Task Force. Unbeknownst to Llaneza, the explosive device that he allegedly attempted to use had been rendered inoperable by law enforcement and posed no threat to the public. Llaneza was charged this morning by criminal complaint with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction against property used in an activity that affects interstate or foreign commerce.

The arrest was announced by Melinda Haag, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California; Lisa Monaco, Assistant Attorney General for National Security; and FBI Special Agent in Charge, San Francisco Field Office, David J. Johnson.

According to the affidavit filed in support of the criminal complaint, on November 30, 2012, Llaneza met with a man who led him to believe he was connected with the Taliban and the mujahidin in Afghanistan. In reality, this man was an undercover FBI agent. At this initial meeting, Llaneza proposed conducting a car-bomb attack against a bank in the San Francisco Bay Area. He proposed structuring the attack to make it appear that the responsible party was an umbrella organization for a loose collection of anti-government militias and their sympathizers. Llaneza’s stated goal was to trigger a governmental crackdown, which he expected would trigger a right-wing counter-response against the government followed by, he hoped, civil war.

The complaint further alleges that Llaneza subsequently selected the Bank of America branch at 303 Hegenberger Road in Oakland as the target for the attack. Llaneza ultimately specified a spot next to a support column of the bank building as a good location for the bomb, expressed a desire for the bomb to bring down the entire bank building, and offered to drive the car bomb to the bank at the time of the attack.

According to the complaint, in January and February 2013, Llaneza and the undercover agent constructed the purported explosive device inside a sport utility vehicle (SUV) parked inside a storage facility in Hayward, California. As part of the process of assembling the device, Llaneza purchased two cell phones to be used in creating and operating the trigger device for the car bomb. One of these cell phones was incorporated into the trigger device itself. The other was reserved for use on the night of the attack.

The criminal complaint alleges that on the evening of February 7, 2013, Llaneza drove the SUV containing the purported explosive device to the target bank branch in Oakland. He parked the SUV beneath an overhang of the bank building where he armed the trigger device. He then proceeded on foot to a nearby location a safe distance from the bank building, where he met the undercover agent. Once there, Llaneza attempted to detonate the bomb by using the second cell phone he had purchased to place two calls to the trigger device attached to the car bomb. Federal agents then arrested him.

(snip)

The case is being prosecuted by the Special Prosecutions and National Security Unit of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California. The prosecution is the result of an investigation by the FBI’s San Jose Resident Agency, with the assistance of the FBI San Francisco Joint Terrorism Task Force, the California Highway Patrol, the San Jose Police Department, the Oakland Police Department, the Hayward Police Department, and the Union City Police Department.

The charges contained in the criminal complaint are mere allegations. As in any criminal case, the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

What does this read like to me?  A double false flag.  Fake Taliban operatives and fake “right wing militias.”  And a fake bomb.  Who wants to lay money on Llaneza also being an operative?  If not of the Feds themselves, then of the ADL or SPLC.  I swear to God, there are more mentions of fake things here than there are in the lyrics of Chief Keef’s first song.

UPDATE 2/10

Meanwhile, the fake plot thickens:  Fake Occutards get dragged into the narrative.

Another phony element about this whole affair:  “…umbrella organization for a loose collection of anti-government militias and their sympathizers.”  That would require right wingers to get along with each other and check their egos at the door long enough for such a thing to last long enough to accomplish anything.  No such animal in the real world.  Or, almost never.

I Totally Forgot Something

Mali

WSJ:

The Superpower Takes a Breather

France just smashed al Qaeda in Mali with little more than moral support from the United States. Washington didn’t even lead from behind. Americans did not lead at all. This time we sat on the sidelines while France—France!—led and did everything from the front.

Last winter the entire northern part of the northwest African country was seized by Ansar al-Dine and al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, who together transformed it into a Taliban-style terrorist state. The famous ancient trading city of Timbuktu—long a mecca for adventurous tourists and the host of an annual international music festival—became a grotesque, hand-chopping tyranny that hemorrhaged violence and refugees.

The international community dithered for almost a year, as if an al Qaeda state isn’t all that big a deal. But when the Islamists began expanding south toward the capital and took the city of Gao, France dispatched its war planes and ground troops and threw the bad guys out in a matter of weeks. Its fighter jets are currently pounding terrorist camps deep in the Sahara near the Algerian border.

President François Hollande visited Timbuktu over the weekend and was hailed as a liberator by throngs of residents, including imams, yelling “Vive la France!”

Yeah, it’s kinda ironic that the great Western African Taliban we got all worked up in a lather over, so much so that I would have never approved anything but drone and air strikes against, folded like the cheap deck of cards we now know they were all along and surrendered to a country which has an undeserved reputation as surrender monkeys.

But I totally forgot one crucial elementary difference between Taliban cum Afghanistan and Taliban cum Mali:  The former is constituted by battle-hardened South Asians, almost Caucasian and Indo-European, who have been fighting off assault after assault, empire after empire, going back to the days of Alexander the Macedon.  The latter is constituted of black Africans.  So, the former is somewhere between well-organized militia and military, and the latter is somewhere between n-word-rigged street gang and militia.

Citizens

Fill-in-the-blank-istan

Are you outraged that the American government is using armed drones to kill American citizens?

It’s time for Uncle Blogmeister to sit you down in his lap and explain the facts of life.

Check out the names of these “citizens,” and what they’re doing and where they’re doing it.  I’ll give you a hint:  The citizen isn’t named Tom Smith who looks like I did when I was 16 and whose “crime” was running a stop sign at the corner of Oak and Main in Anytown, USA.  The “citizen” is named something like Mohammed al-Terroristiqua, whose parents immigrated to America from Whackistan, and who eventually felt his genetic urge and imperative and ran back to Whackistan at the age of 17 to join an AQ affiliate to learn how to fight and kill (real) Americans.

The American government will give citizenship to anyone with a pulse these days, as long as he or she is not white.

That said, any domestic drone use should be unarmed only and information gathering only.  If need be, the Federal and state constitutions should be amended as such.

I’m not down with the talking point that Obama and Co. “misled” Susan Rice-a-Roni then sent her out on the Full Ginsburg after Benghazi.

She is a Rhodes Scholar and holds a Ph.D. in history from Oxford.  In contrast, I have only an undergrad degree in business/accounting from a certain well known public university in St. Louis.  Yet, I knew right away that this YouTube video excuse was pure bullshit from the get-go;  the great intellectual Ph.D. didn’t have the common sense to question what she was supposedly told over and over again.

Sorry, Sue, the “you were misled” dog doesn’t hunt for me.  I think you were part of the promulgation of a deliberate falsehood.  You weren’t misled, you did the misleading.

It it were up to me, he wouldn’t have been here on a student visa.  Let me make that <Obama> perfectly clear </Obama> before someone accuses me of birddogging for Muslims.

BND:

‘Highly offensive’: Ark. GOP blasts candidates’ statements on slavery, Muslims

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Arkansas Republicans tried to distance themselves Saturday from a Republican state representative’s assertion that slavery was a “blessing in disguise” and a Republican state House candidate who advocates deporting all Muslims.

The claims were made in books written, respectively, by Rep. Jon Hubbard of Jonesboro and House candidate Charlie Fuqua of Batesville. Those books received attention on Internet news sites Friday.

On Saturday, state GOP Chairman Doyle Webb called the books “highly offensive.” And U.S. Rep. Rick Crawford, a Republican who represents northeast Arkansas, called the writings “divisive and racially inflammatory.”

Hubbard wrote in his 2009 self-published book, “Letters To The Editor: Confessions Of A Frustrated Conservative,” that “the institution of slavery that the black race has long believed to be an abomination upon its people may actually have been a blessing in disguise.” He also wrote that African-Americans were better off than they would have been had they not been captured and shipped to the United States.

Fuqua, who served in the Arkansas House from 1996 to 1998, wrote there is “no solution to the Muslim problem short of expelling all followers of the religion from the United States,” in his 2012 book, titled “God’s Law.”

Half right, he is.

Muslims can’t do anything to us that we won’t let them do by letting them immigrate to where we are to begin with.  Remember, I have said here in this space that KSM confessed that he and AQ wanted to commit acts of terrorism in Japan when they co-hosted the Soccer World Cup in 2002, but they couldn’t get a ground network going in the country.  And the reason they couldn’t do that is because Japan is an ethnostate and has and enforces immigration law like an ethnostate.  Take the hint, America, Europe, Australia, etc.

True, Pak has nukes and Iran may soon have them, but they won’t nuke us because their leaders grok MAD.

As far as the other part, we have problems.  To me, it’s as simple as the “if I would have known this, I would have picked my own damned cotton” doctrine.  True, American blacks are far better off than they would have been, but American whites are worse off.  One of the untold negative consequences of slavery of any sort in the South is that it precluded the development of a real middle class, just as today’s neo-slavery (cheap Hispanic labor) is degrading the middle and working middle class.  When you add in the “Who? Whom?” factor of slavery, it eventually created an expensive and obnoxious black undertow that slowed American growth and progress.

Pardon me.  But when the did the Army get out of the business of killing people and breaking things and into the business of plagiarizing the ADL and SPLC?

Too bad the Army didn’t follow any of these guidelines when it came to a certain psychiatrist based out of Fort Hood.
