Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles

To: tapatio; All

Thank you for the input on the cities. I've looked around a lot and couldn't find the information. I have suspected that Boston was on the list because there have been a lot of helicopters overhead and we have LNG tankers that come right into the harbor, right past our downtown and financial district. Thank you again - all - for the input about the other 8 cities.

Thanks for that interesting perspective/alternate reality on the Egyptians. Also, thanks for the translations you have been doing. Greatly appreciated.

Not in reply to your last post Oorang, just that you were the last post.

Kind of interesting in light of the missing fuel in Phoenix - a stolen tanker truck:

Exactly. Fraud extraordinaire.

Still, she and her three teenie-bopper accomplises need to be arrested for terroristic threats and violations of the patriot act, if not civil law. Enough is enough.

i'm sure it could be, but i really don't care. is it just me or is it impossible to find a friendly person here (with exception to hummingbird)? i come here trying to join in a conversation, on a site i've been reading for months, and just about every response i've recieved are from folks with holier-than-thou attitudes. except i actually got a welcome from you cricket, you give me a little adivce that sounds like you're talking down to me, as i'f i don't know how to use a computer properly. i'm terribly sorry for ruining your little board here, attempting to discuss this subject with like-minded folks and ease my own mind at the same time.

Hey, spoof, sorry about the problems. Some freepers are highly suspicious about new people, it comes from some past history where new people have sometimes been, basically, enemies returning with a new name.

It also takes a little while, IMO, to get "broken in." Even then, you will always run into people who will insult you (and sometimes people, I must admit, that you're pleased to insult back!)

You can also run into a lot of very nice people here. So don't give up too quick.

Welcome to freerepublic!

thanks cindy and luke. i guess i can understand getting broken in. usual fare for most boards. never ran into insults though. hopefully i'll spend more time here, get to know everyone and all that.

as for the weather in utah...it's very foggy, fairly snowy and insanely cold. it gets a bit creepy at night. being surrounded by snow, and only able to see about a foot ahead of you. we need it all though, we've been in a drought.

anyhow, thanks again for the welcome.

"Saudi pleads guilty to killing Jewish friend

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "After apparently undergoing a religious awakening, a Saudi Arabian student in Houston killed his Jewish friend by slashing his throat.

Mohammed Ali Alayed, 23, pleaded guilty to the Aug. 6 attack on Ariel Sellouk, also 23, who almost was decapitated with a knife, the Houston Chronicle reported.

Houston police said they could not find evidence the slaying was tied to race or religion.

However, they said no clear motive has been established, and Alayed went to a local mosque after the slaying."

Well for starters, this is not a chat room.It is a forum that is read around the world. Clean up your punctuation and you will get more respect. This is a fine tuned race car, not some jalopy you use to run down a dirt road to the store.

To Suspend Entry as Immigrants or Nonimmigrants of Persons Engaged in or Benefiting From Corruption
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation

In light of the importance of legitimate and transparent public institutions to world stability, peace, and development, and the serious negative effects that corruption of public insti-tutions has on the United States efforts to promote security and to strengthen democratic institutions and free market systems, and in light of the importance to the United States and the international community of fighting corruption, as evidenced by the Third Global Forum on Fighting Corruption and Safeguarding Integrity and other intergovernmental efforts, I have determined that it is in the interests of the United States to take action to restrict the international travel and to suspend the entry into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, of certain persons who have committed, participated in, or are beneficiaries of corruption in the performance of public functions where that corruption has serious adverse effects on international activity of U.S. businesses, U.S. foreign assistance goals, the security of the United States against transnational crime and terrorism, or the stability of democratic institutions and nations.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, hereby find that the unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of persons described in section 1 of this proclamation would, except as provided in sections 2 and 3 of this proclamation, be detrimental to the interests of the United States.

I therefore hereby proclaim that:

Section 1. The entry into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, of the following persons is hereby suspended:

(a) Public officials or former public officials whose solicitation or acceptance of any article of monetary value, or other benefit, in exchange for any act or omission in the performance of their public functions has or had serious adverse effects on the national interests of the United States.

(b) Persons whose provision of or offer to provide any article of monetary value or other benefit to any public official in exchange for any act or omission in the performance of such official's public functions has or had serious adverse effects on the national interests of the United States.

(c) Public officials or former public officials whose misappropriation of public funds or interference with the judicial, electoral, or other public processes has or had serious adverse effects on the national interests of the United States.

(d) The spouses, children, and dependent household members of persons described in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) above, who are beneficiaries of any articles of monetary value or other benefits obtained by such persons.

Sec. 2. Section 1 of this proclamation shall not apply with respect to any person otherwise covered by section 1 where entry of the person into the United States would not be contrary to the interests of the United States.

Sec. 3. Persons covered by sections 1 and 2 of this proclamation shall be identified by the Secretary of State or the Secretary's designee, in his or her sole discretion, pursuant to such standards and procedures as the Secretary may establish.

Sec. 4. For purposes of this proclamation, "serious adverse effects on the national interests of the United States" means serious adverse effects on the international economic activity of U.S. businesses, U.S. foreign assistance goals, the security of the United States against transnational crime and terrorism, or the stability of democratic institutions and nations.

Sec. 5. Nothing in this proclamation shall be construed to derogate from United States Government obligations under applicable international agreements.

Sec. 6. The Secretary of State shall have responsibility for implementing this proclamation pursuant to such procedures as the Secretary may, in the Secretary's discretion, establish.

Sec. 7. This proclamation is effective immediately.

Sec. 8. This proclamation is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party, against the United States, its departments, agencies, or other entities, its officers or employees, or any other person.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twelfth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-eighth.

GEORGE W. BUSH
