Two reports from Europe highlight the ongoing concerns of additional terror threats. In the first report from Switzerland the Swiss authorities have arrested two Syrian males traveling in a vehicle containing trace explosives:
(Via AP) GENEVA — Two Syrians arrested in a vehicle containing traces of explosives have not been clearly linked to four men with suspected ties to the Islamic State group who are wanted by Swiss authorities, the Geneva prosecutor said Saturday.
The arrests of the two Syrians on Friday came amid stepped-up police patrols in Geneva. Authorities raised the security vigilance level and announced a hunt for at least four suspects allegedly linked to IS who were believed to be plotting a “specific” attack in the city.
This sickening story is wrong on so many levels. First a woman is beaten, brutalized and raped by an Islamist while no-one tries to stop it. Then, to make matters worse the Islamopologist media allow the rapist’s family to make excuses for him.
The police and FBI would NOT be releasing their identities if this was NOT a security threat. This release increases the likelihood there is something very sketchy afoot…
The men have been identified as Mirwais Kohistani and Shirzad Rohullah, Channel 2 Action News reported. The two are among a group of 23 from Afghanistan who have been at the base since February and both are assigned to the 81st Fighter Squadron.
But a federal investigation was launched when Kohistani and Rohullah but did not show up for work Monday, Moody said in an emailed statement. (more…)
Mark Steyn was on Greta Van Sustern last night and delivered one of the more resoundingly common sense recaps of the entire days’ media and political insanity:
Mark Steyn website here – The last segment where Steyn points out the nonsense from the Obama administration is 100% spot on. Unfortunately, almost every GOP candidate pounced into the furor surrounding Trump’s profoundly reasonable proposition.
A few interesting updates today in the San Bernadino terrorist attack that killed 14 people. Buried deep inside an ABC article we find out the ‘friend’ of Syed Farook, the man who purchased the long-guns, actually converted to Islam:
Investigators with the FBI today questioned Enrique Marquez Jr., the man who originally purchased the two “assault-style” rifles used in last week’s San Bernardino shooting in which 14 people were killed, according to law enforcement officials briefed on the probe.
[…] An individual associated with a local mosque, who asked not to be named, said Marquez started coming there three or four years ago, after he had converted to Islam. The person said Marquez was shy and polite, but did not seem that bright. Two members of Farook’s family, but not Syed Farook, attended the same mosque, the person said.
Marquez previously worked at a Wal-Mart, and before that was employed by the California Department of Food and Agriculture, federal officials told ABC News. (read more)
Additionally, the Daily Mail has caught on to the possibility of “The Ziiggii Theory” and explores the aspect of the mysteriously missing Go-Pro camera: (more…)
The FBI said earlier Monday it believes both suspects in last week’s attack in San Bernardino, were radicalized before carrying out the mass shooting. “We have learned and believe that both subjects were radicalized and have been for quite some time,” said David Bowdich, assistant director of the FBI’s field office in Los Angeles:
In addition, information has surfaced about a significant amount of money being deposited into their bank account:
A $28,500 DEPOSIT was made to Syed Farook’s bank account from WebBank.com on or about Nov.18, some two weeks before he and his wife Tashfeen Malik carried out the San Bernardino massacre, a source close to the investigation tells Fox News.
[…] On or about Nov.20, Fox News is told Farook converted $10,000 to cash, and withdrew the money at a Union Bank branch in San Bernardino. Afterwards, in the days before the shooting, there were at least three transfers of $5,000 that appear to be to Farook’s mother.
The loan and large cash withdrawal were described to Fox News by the source as “significant evidence of pre-meditation,” and further undercut the premise that an argument at the Christmas party on Dec. 2 led to the shooting (read more)
Earlier today Presidential Candidate Donald Trump proposed a “freeze” on Muslim Immigration entry while national security and lawmakers evaluate current terrorist threats. The crowd in South Carolina approves:
Fox News Stephen Hayes calls the massive South Carolina crowd a bunch of “bigots”(more…)
The “Ziiggii Theory”: The motive for the San Bernadino attack was overall terrorist Islamic Jihad. However, the specific motive for the location, timing, venue, etc was to record a massacre upon a CHRISTmas celebration. The attack was important, but the ‘recording of‘ the massacre was the goal.
If accurate, the recording of people slaughtered on U.S. soil, an identified Christian Nation, amid the backdrop of Christmas would then be propaganda used in this Christmas season to embed terror threats, inspire jihad and give a boost to the larger Islamic objectives against Christianity. The San Bernadino massacre was jihad, but the recording was the more valuable goal.
This theory is further supported today within a LA Times Article:
… […] “Authorities now believe Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, were inspired by militant appeals on the Internet to attack a holiday party”…. (link)
While the LA Times uses the progressive/PC word “holiday”, to the larger world everyone knows this to beChristmas.(more…)
Is President Obama Trying to get ahead of the predicted San Bernadino Christmas Go-Pro Massacre video?
President Obama will deliver a rare White House national speech tomorrow night at 8:00pm addressing the latest terrorist threats and trying to reconnect with the Americans.
Saturday December 5th. President Obama cancelled a golf game to meet in the situation room with his National Security Team. – Pictured: The President receives an update on the investigation from FBI Director James Comey.
After weeks of disconnect around the ongoing threats of ISIS and terrorism, and with plummeting polling numbers showing an increasing number of Americans distrust President Obama’s competency to fulfill the role of Commander in Chief, the White House begins damage control.
Director James Comey has a 10 year term. He is, by nature of his position, not dependent on approvals of the White House for his positions on events. As such the FBI is protected somewhat from President Obama’s ideological politicization of all controversial events – yet he still needs to walk a tenuous tightrope.
