Consider this an open thread for discussion of all current events and aspects of the San Bernardino terrorist attack:



First, according to investigative leaks to NBC News the entire operation had been planned for several years. Both Syed and Tashfeen had been target practicing for quite some time and included discussions of the attack back in 2012:
San Bernardino terror couple Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik spent at least a year preparing for their terror attack, NBC News has learned, practicing at a local gun range and making financial plans for their family after their deaths.
And the husband may have discussed an attack as many as three years ago, law enforcement sources said Tuesday.
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:

The issue boils down to: (more…)
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…)

However, once you get beyond the trained instinct of hysteria, and focus on the substantive request, to: “shutdown Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on” – it actually makes a great deal of sense.


Such a position is really not the least bit controversial, and that’s exactly what makes it so brilliant on many levels.
Of course, if you are not willing to accept the concept of Islamic Jihad – and/or if you are unwilling to accept that Islamic Terrorists have been targeting us for the past decade – well, in that instance Trump’s position might seem controversial. However, for the rest of us, it makes a great deal of sense. (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)
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 be Christmas. (more…)
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.
Here is yesterday’s statement:


Victims of the terror attack reported seeing the shooters with a Go-Pro camera during the shooting/massacre.
When questioned by media at a press conference the local LEO spokesperson said “no Go-Pro” camera’s were recovered at the point of final disposition – the shootout at the SUV.
However, the Go-Pro angle is confirmed within this seemingly innocuous article from the LA Times:
….”Other seemingly more mundane items removed from the home included Christmas lights, an iPhone, a bank receipt, audio cassettes and a notebook with foreign language writing. From a black Lexus parked nearby the agents took shooting targets, a U-Haul receipt, packaging for a Go Pro camera, legal documents and other items.
The weapons invoices came from Cheaper Than Dirt and Budsgunshop.com, but the document left at the home did not say what purchases the invoices were for”….. (link)
It would be obtuse to think a victim would be mistaken -with such specificity- to note a camera being used during the massacre, and then accept as coincidental packaging for such a camera was found in the terrorist’s vehicle at the residence. (more…)
This is interesting and deserves being back on the radar. In South Carolina the prosecution of Officer Michael Slager (Walter Scott Shooting) continues.
In a remarkable similarity to the fraudulent prosecutorial investigation of State Attorney Angela Corey in the ’12/’13 Zimmerman case, in South Carolina another rogue and racially inspired prosecution appears to be heading down a similar path adverse to Officer Slager.
Despite defense requesting “preservation of evidence”, and despite a judges order affirming the presentation, the State of South Carolina prosecutorial team shipped the Taser out of state without trying to protect DNA evidence: (more…)
