Young and Muslim in America: Cell Phone Video of The Christmas Tree Lighting bomber

http://www.kptv.com/local-video/index.html?grabnetworks_video_id=4444265

This is a cell phone video of a Muslim in Oregon who attempted to bomb Pioneer Courthouse Square where 25,000 infidels gathered during a Christmas Tree lighting ceremony.

FOX 12 Obtains Exclusive Video Of Mohamed Mohamud (hat tip Jack M)

We don’t know much about why this recording was made, but the source says it was taken following a confrontation.

From the video:

“He wants a fight. That’s what he wants, and he’s trying to do.…

You know what the whole West thing is? They want to insult our religion. They want to take our lands. They want to rape our women while we're bowing down to them. This is what they want. This country and Europe and all those countries, that's all they want. They want Muslims to --"

The recording appears to be edited, and we don’t know what led up to the recording or who he’s talking about.

Again, from the video:"If I met him, I would get five, six Muslims, beat the (expletive) out of him.

That's something I have zero tolerance for. When it comes to our prophet, nobody can say anything. They're calling it freedom of speech. It's not freedom of speech. They're doing it.”

Bloggers Forced Out of Van Jones Event by St. Louis Campus Police

Citizen journalist Adam Sharp visited a Washington University (St. Louis, MO) event to question former Obama Green Czar and self-professed communist, Van Jones.

Fortunately, Sharp was accompanied by fellow blogger, Patch W. Adams of PoedPatriot.com, as each share a different perspective of the same event. Wrote Sharp, “With Jones visiting Washington University in St. Louis it was once again time for citizen journalism to fill the vacuum left by the ‘mainstream media’.”

From the beginning, organizers appeared upset when Sharp called out questions to Van Jones about any role in the removal of Andrew Brietbart from ABC’s Election Night programming, through Jones’ Color of Change organization. He went on to ask if Van Jones was really a 9/11 “Truther,” and at an attempt at humor, he complimented him on his music. “No chance of you busting a freestyle, Van?” Sharp added, “I’m a big fan of his rap.”

After some maneuvering offstage, officials then came forward to order everything be shut off and claiming Sharp was violating the University’s “intellectual property rights,” despite the visible evidence of cameras all over the hall. Sharp was then accused of being with FoxNews local Channel 2 (as if that’s a bad thing). Soon after, uniformed campus police arrived to forcefully remove both bloggers from the hall.

Fed aid in financial crisis went beyond U.S. banks to industry, foreign firms

"The American people are finally learning the incredible and jaw-dropping details of the Fed's multitrillion-dollar bailout of Wall Street and corporate America," said Sen. Bernard Sanders (I-Vt.), a longtime Fed critic whose provision in the Wall Street regulatory overhaul required the new disclosures. "Perhaps most surprising is the huge sum that went to bail out foreign private banks and corporations."

Outrage Over Taxpayer-Funded Exhibit

EU Speech Euro Ideal as Economic Collapse Looms

British politician and the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) Nigel Farage has slammed EU bosses over European crisis. "It's even more serious than economics because if you rob people of their identity, if you rob them of their democracy, then all they are left with is nationalism and violence. I can only hope and pray that the Euro project is destroyed by the markets before that" - Farage said at the end of his speech.

Nov.13 2010 Unsuspecting Shoppers were Victims of a Christmas Flash Mob

Wikileaks: Obama Wrong on Iran Nuke Program

Back in 2007 it was common knowledge that Iran was working on a nuclear weapons program.

That’s why it was such a shock in December 2007 that National Intelligence Estimate assessment released a controversial report that claimed Iran had halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003.

Far left Senator Barack Obama attacked then President Bush after the report was released:

“It is absolutely clear that this administration and President Bush continues to not let facts get in the way of his ideology.. They need, now, to aggressively move on the diplomatic front… They should have stopped the saber rattling — should never have started it.”

Now, thanks to the Wikileaks document dump, we find out that this report by leftists in the NIE was horribly inaccurate. In fact less than four months after the NIE report was released the Saudi regime was begging the US to “cut off the head of the snake” and put an end Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

The far left Guardian posted the document:

Here’s the transcript:

10. (S) The King, Foreign Minister, Prince Muqrin, and Prince Nayif all agreed that the Kingdom needs to cooperate with the US on resisting and rolling back Iranian influence and subversion in Iraq. The King was particularly adamant on this point, and it was echoed by the senior princes as well. Al-Jubeir recalled the King’s frequent exhortations to the US to attack Iran and so put an end to its nuclear weapons program. “He told you to cut off the head of the snake,” he recalled to the Charge’, adding that working with the US to roll back Iranian influence in Iraq is a strategic priority for the King and his government.

Obviously, this shows that Obama and the far left were on the wrong side of history once again.

…And, Bush was right.

Yelling "Allahu Akbar!" Muslim teen plotted Xmas car-bombing in Oregon

Muslim tried blowing up a van he believed was loaded with explosives at a crowded Christmas tree lighting ceremony.

The case began in August 2009 when Mohamud was in e-mail contact with an unindicted associate overseas who was believed to be involved in terrorist activities. In December 2009, while the unindicted associate was in a frontier province of Pakistan, Mohamud and the associate discussed the possibility of Mohamud traveling to Pakistan to participate in jihad.

Mohamud allegedly told the FBI operative that he had written articles that were published in Jihad Recollections, an online magazine that advocated holy war.

Mohamud allegedly responded he was looking for a "huge mass that will ... be attacked in their own element with their families celebrating the holidays."

More Info on the Flu

Peter Doshi, while at Harvard in the mid-2000s, published a study in the British Medical Journal, and an article for a popular magazine, that systematically unveils the flawed predictive science used to publicize our health agencies’ influenza statistics and mortality rates. Now at MIT, Doshi continues his analysis of a century’s worth of influenza mortality data and government manipulation of influenza data, such as the annual figure of 36,000 influenza deaths we hear and read repeatedly.[1] Doshi's claim is that commercial interests are dictating government policy.[2]

Not surprisingly, the latest Consumers Union poll released on September 30 shows almost two-thirds of parents will withhold vaccinating their children; fifty percent of respondents’ rationale is that the vaccine has not been tested thoroughly for safety.[3] The NVIC (National Vaccine Information Center) provides updated and accurate information regarding the swine flu and vaccinations.

Military Presence: Kentucky/Ohio

An organization, WeAreChange Ohio, traveled to Newport, Kentucky to investigate the military checkpoints that appeared around the downtown area on 6 September 2009. Officially, this was done for traffic control purposes during the annual Riverfest celebration that is held on both sides of the Ohio River.

Military Police from the U.S. Army National Guard performed a series of tasks throughout the day, which included aiding the local police to close bridges across the river, and to reverse traffic along Monmouth Street in Newport.

Two Military Police officers were located at each corner of Monmouth from the Ohio River to 11th Street, while two Humvees were strategically placed to block traffic onto the Taylor-Southgate Bridge. One of the National Guard members indicated that there were also Marines in the area.

WeAreChange Ohio spoke with a thirty-year veteran of the Newport Police Department, who wished to remain anonymous. He stated that the local municipalities were desperately strapped for funds and that the city had been cutting back his division at the department.

While he welcomed the help from the National Guard, he recognized that funding was being systematically shifted away from local governments in favor of Washington.

The officers interviewed at the festival stated that they were on duty to help the local police. They did make it clear that they would follow orders. They are simply soldiers doing their duty.

French Defence League Warns Muslims - Stop Praying on our Streets!

Transcript for the Video

Warning to Muslims who believe that the public space can be invaded without consequences.

For a number of years, certain of you muslim gentlemen dare to regularly occupy the public space for your prayers.

This occupation, as you well know, is illegal, and is, as we well know, a provocation and a demonstration of force designed to show your domination in certain parts of France and your contempt for our laws and the secular nature of our country.

These politico-cultural demonstrations are in defiance of our institutions and our culture, they put our territorial integrity under pressure with the aim of forcing the construction of mosques, which are often financed by the money of non-muslims who then find themselves victims of gigantic rackets in which our elected officials are complicit.

Muslim militias and certain muslims totally illegally block the streets to non-muslims, preventing the citizens and residents from circulating, returning home or leaving their houses and the mayors say nothing, the police say nothing, the State says nothing.

Thus it remains for the French Nation, to the citizens themselves to take over because all their representatives have spinelessly bent over in the face of intimidation.

The message sent out by the French nation to the “praying” is clear:

Stop praying immediately on the public highway, it is illegal. Pray elsewhere, or don’t pray, we couldn’t care less about that. Nothing gives you the right to occupy our streets, you must respect our laws.

You are extremely lucky that the French (of all confessions and origins) are so patient and indulgent with you but in the face of your arrogant provocations, one day the limit will be reached.

Then there will no longer be time to whine about discrimination. You will have been the sole cause of your inevitable future troubles if you continue to defy our laws.

Who sows the wind reaps the storm. Stop sowing discord in France, stop occupying our streets and our towns with your inopportune prayers.

The Chinese do have a stealth submarine. The stealth submarine is a modified version of the Type 041 Yuan-class submarine. According to military experts, the Yuan-class’s technology borrows heavily from Russian designs. The Yuan-class is reported to use a new air-independent propulsion (AIP) system based on the concept of the Swedish Stirling engine. Chinese naval research institutes are known to have been investigating fuel cell and exhaust recycling AIP designs similar to the French MESMA (Module d’Energie Sous-Marine Autonome) (Jane’s Defense Weekly, October 7; Wen Wei Po [Hong Kong], October 12).

Obama's Flight Buddy/TSA Pat-Down Protest Song/Stripper Arrested/Follow the Money

Grammy-winning musician Steve Vaus has used an Oceanside man's experience with airline security as inspiration for a new parody he released Friday, "Help You Make It to Your Flight."

Like the classic country song "Help Me Make It Through the Night," the song starts off romantic.

Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall

Then, it gets right into the sarcasm.

Leave your shoes right over there
Now, get up against the wall

I’ll run my hands inside your thighs
Up your legs and out of sight
But you can trust the TSA
To help you make it to your flight.

A San Diego man was arrested for refusing to complete the security process and for recording the incident on his iPhone, according to his attorney.

The companies with multimillion-dollar contracts to supply American airports with body-scanning machines more than doubled their spending on lobbying in the last five years and hired several high-profile former government officials to advance their causes in Washington.

Before the video started the boy went through a metal detector and didn't set it off but was selected for a pat down. The boy was shy so the TSA couldn't complete the full pat on the young boy. The father tried several times to just hold the boys arms out for the TSA agent but i guess it didn't end up being enough for the guy. I was about 30 ft away so i couldn't hear their conversation if there was any. The enraged father pulled his son shirt off and gave it to the TSA agent to search, that is when this video begins.

Taiwanese animators take on TSA...

The former secretary of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff, represents Rapiscan, the company which is selling these scanners to his former department.

Rep. John J. Duncan Jr., former Chairman of the House Aviation Subcommittee and the current top Republican on the House Subcommittee on Highways and Transit, blasts TSA's invasive "pat downs" during a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives on November 17, 2010. Duncan also questions the role of lucrative government contracts in TSA's new naked body scanning machines. The text of the speech is copied below:

"Mr. Speaker:

A nationwide revolt is developing over the body scanners at the airports, and it should.

Hundreds of thousands of frequent fliers who fly each week are upset about getting these frequent doses of radiation.

Parents are upset about being forced to have their children radiated or being touched inappropriately by an unrelated adult.

There is already plenty of security at the airport, but now we are going to spend up to $300 million to install 1,000 scanners.

This is much more about money than it is about security.

The former secretary of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff, represents Rapiscan, the company which is selling these scanners to his former department.

Far too many federal contracts are sweetheart, insider deals.

Companies hire former high ranking federal officials, and then magically, those companies get hugely profitable federal contracts.

The American people should not have to choose between having full-body radiation or a very embarrassing, intrusive pat-down every time they fly, as if they were criminals.

We need a little more balance and common sense on this."

Obama's G-20 Performance an "Embarrassing Disappointment"

Obama hasn't got a clue; he does not dispute the Communist from asking a question representing all of Asia. He never challenges the premise and if I were in the Korean delegation I would be alarmed. This is the country we expect to protect us? No wonder no Korean reporter stepped in. China is running and representing Asia and the Koreans know it. Obama does the politically correct dance and emphasizes "fairness." He even compliments the Communist by validating the Chinese position. "You make a valid point."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToiZ7N9GEvg

Obama arrived at the G-20 economic summit confident that his free trade agreement with South Korea was in the bag. But as Chip Reid reports, the president walked away empty-handed after South Korea refused to open its market to U.S. automobiles.

During President's Obama's press conference CCTV anchor Rui Chenggang seized the chance to ask the last question given to the Korean press..... there was almost no chance for reporters outside of Unite States to ask questions..... and these questions were all from Barack Obama named members of the White House press..... he decided to add one more question, but stressed that a question from the Korean press..... however there was not one Korean reporter raising their hands..... this was a rare scene for president Obama and also quite embarrassing.....

China's CCTV anchor Rui Chenggang:-
Rui: "How about if Korean press allow me to ask a question on your behalf? Yes?"

Obama: "Depends if a Korean reporter will rather have the question..." Pause..... "No? No takers? This is getting more complicated than I expected..."

Rui: "Take one quick question from Asia, President Obama."

Obama: "...go ahead ask your question, I want to make sure the Korean press gets a question as well..." (maybe pretending that Rui was actually Korean...???)

Rui: My question is very simple, you mentioned interpretation, I know part of the difficulties of being the American President is some of the decisions that you take, actions that you make will be Interpreted in a way that are not what you thought it would be or what you meant it would be. For instance some of the actions you have taken were interpreted as anti-business domestically in the United Sates. And as someone just mentioned some of the action taken by the US government that you represent as well were interpreted as sacrificing other country's interest for America's own benefit. You find yourself constantly being interpreted thousands of ways, how do you address these interpretations? http://www.chinahush.com/2010/11/14/c... (see VIDEO + PIC)
