Cash-and-Kerry
January 27, 2004
But Kerry receives far more Muslim money than his wife’s foundations give. As this column documented last January, one of Kerry’s biggest money men, who bankrolled the Senator’s primary campaign with more than $180,000, is Hassan Nemazee. This Iranian-American investor raised a cool $250,000 for Al Gore in November 1995. Nemazee and his family slushed another $150,000 to Democrats during the mid-1990s. Six Nemazee family members and friends (including the caretaker of his 12-acre Katonah, N.Y., estate) donated a total of $60,000 – the maximum legally allowed -- to Bill Clinton’s legal defense fund.
http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=11939
BIG donor to Kerry and Teresa:
It says that Hassan Nemazee is a "New York investor." True enough, but there is quite a story that goes with his investing, and it is not a happy one. People who have done business with this man have come to regret it {{Kinda like Soros}

Arab American Institute (AAI)
Dr. James J. Zogby is founder and president of the Arab American Institute (AAI), a Washington, D.C.-based organization which serves as the political and policy research arm of the Arab American community. Since 1985, Dr. Zogby and AAI have led Arab American efforts to secure political empowerment in the U.S. Through voter registration, education and mobilization, AAI has moved Arab Americans into the political mainstream.

One little-noticed reason why the Kerry campaign has used every dirty trick it could devise to keep Ralph Nader off state ballots is not only that he siphons away leftwing voters but also that this Lebanese-American siphons off Arab-American votes. Nader on the ballot likely would win between nine and 20 percent of the votes of his fellow ethnic Arab-Americans. But despite these anti-democratic Democrat dirty tricks, Nader is presently on the ballot in Florida, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
{{Now granted the Muslim vote here only comprises about 1% of the total vote, but do YOU want extremists deciding who should be running our country?!}}
Money may explain some of Kerry’s support among Muslim-American activists. The Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR), for example, has pocketed grant money from the leftwing Tides Foundation. The Tides Foundation, wrote FrontPage Magazine’s Ben Johnson, has been generously supported with fungible money from the Heinz Endowments controlled by John Kerry’s wife Teresa.

In the closing days of 1998 Clinton named Nemazee his Ambassador-designate to Argentina. Hillary Clinton embraced the Muslim moneyman at a January 1999 White House celebration of the Islamic holiday Eid. The Senate, however, refused to confirm the controversial nominee after a Forbes Magazine investigation exposed Nemazee’s questionable business dealings. “He was,” said a bitter former business partner, “the Iranian equivalent of J.R. Ewing.”

Senator Kerry has proposed not only to open a “dialogue” with the Islamist dictators of Iran if he is elected President, but also to help the Iran theocracy become a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
On April 7, 2004 in an interview with leftwing National Public Radio, John Kerry described the fanatical Shiite imam Muqtada al-Sadr (who has murdered American soldiers and Iraqi civilians, and has armed his militia with weapons almost certainly supplied by neighboring Shiite Iran) as a “legitimate voice” in Iraq.

What is L.E. writing about?
Here is a absolutely brilliant article written by Charles Krauthammer on the kerry/world vs Israel topic. It was posted by Cindy on another thread and it is truly a must-read, especially for Zionists.
Kerry's false plan for peace
Charles Krauthammer
October 22, 2004
WASHINGTON -- The centerpiece of John Kerry's foreign policy is to rebuild our alliances so the world will come to our help, especially in Iraq. He repeats this endlessly because it is the only foreign policy idea he has to offer. The problem for Kerry is that he cannot explain just how he proposes to do this.
The mere appearance of a Europhilic fresh face is unlikely to so thrill the allies that French troops will start marching down the streets of Baghdad. Therefore, you can believe that Kerry is just being cynical in pledging to bring in the allies, knowing that he has no way of doing it. Or you can believe, as I do, that he means it.
He really does want to end America's isolation. And he has an idea how to do it. For understandable reasons, however, he will not explain how on the eve of an election.
Think about it: What do the Europeans and the Arab states endlessly rail about in the Middle East? What (outside Iraq) is the area of most friction with U.S. policy? What single issue most isolates America from the overwhelming majority of countries at the United Nations?
The answer is obvious: Israel.
In what currency, therefore, would we pay the rest of the world in exchange for their support in places like Iraq? The answer is obvious: giving in to them on Israel.
No Democrat will say that openly. But anyone familiar with the code words of Middle East diplomacy can read between the lines. Read what former Clinton national security adviser Sandy Berger said in ``Foreign Policy for a Democratic President,'' a manifesto written while he was a senior foreign policy adviser to Kerry.
``As part of a new bargain with our allies, the United States must re-engage in ... ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. ... As we re-engage in the peace process and rebuild frayed ties with our allies, what should a Democratic president ask of our allies in return? First and foremost, we should ask for a real commitment of troops and money to Afghanistan and Iraq.''
So in a ``new bargain with our allies'' America ``re-engages'' in the ``peace process'' in return for troops and money in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Do not be fooled by the euphemism ``peace process.'' We know what ``peace process" meant during the eight years Berger served in the Clinton White House -- a White House to which Yasser Arafat was invited more often than any leader on the planet. It meant believing Arafat's deceptions about peace while letting him get away with the most virulent incitement to and unrelenting support of terrorism. It meant constant pressure on Israel to make one territorial concession after another -- in return for nothing. Worse than nothing: Arafat ultimately launched a vicious terror war that killed a thousand Israeli innocents.
``Re-engage in the peace process'' is precisely what the Europeans, the Russians and the United Nations have been pressuring the United States to do for years. Do you believe any of them have Israel's safety at heart? They would sell out Israel in an instant, and they are pressuring America to do precisely that.
Why are they so upset with Bush's Israeli policy? After all, isn't Bush the first president ever to commit the United States to an independent Palestinian state? Bush's sin is that he also insists the Palestinians genuinely accept Israel and replace the corrupt, dictatorial terrorist leadership of Yasser Arafat.
To re-engage in a ``peace process'' while the violence continues and while Arafat is in charge is to undo the Bush Middle East policy. That policy -- isolating Arafat, supporting Israel's right to defend itself both by attacking the terror infrastructure and by building a defensive fence -- has succeeded in defeating the intifada and producing an astonishing 84 percent reduction in innocent Israeli casualties.
John Kerry says he wants to ``rejoin the community of nations.'' There is no issue on which the United States more fails the global test of international consensus than Israel. Last July, the General Assembly declared Israel's defensive fence illegal by a vote of 150-6. In defending Israel, America stood almost alone.
You want to appease the ``international community''? Sacrifice Israel. Gradually, of course, and always under the guise of ``peace." Apply relentless pressure on Israel to make concessions to a Palestinian leadership that has proved (at Camp David 2000) it will never make peace.

I still feel a hightened sense of looming something.
I hope all who pray are praying!
It is not just that terror threats seem to be looming closer and larger--it seems like every quarter of reality and society is bursting at the seams to break out in chaos and destruction.
The voting intimidations on the part of the leftists is but one example. The volcanoes are but one example. The quakes are but one example. Billdo's seeking to run the UN is but one example. SKERRY'S chronic lying is but one example. Reports of very strange things in the skies are but one example. Reports of looming designs on conquest by China are but one example. Cattle mutilations again in the news are but one example.
Times are a changin' and alert folks will walk close to God; walk prepared and pray for our land, our President and their loved ones.
I hope we have the phone lists back up contact means up-to-date. It's been a while since I received an update. I don't know that it will be generally needed in the short term but probably in some cities it is more likely to be needed sooner.
God's best to all. Please take care of yourselves and your loved ones.
Back again, however this summary will probably contain less detail because I haven’t been able to follow things as closely as I normally do. Its nice to get the field work done before the winter rains finally settle in. My overall perception of the current terror threat is that there are many mixed signals making any definite trends difficult to pick out. The one trend that I’ve been able to pick out is that the current military operations against terror hot spots in Iraq is paying off. Let me know if you want on or off the Ping list.
Current National Homeland Defense threat level is YELLOW
10/11/04 Local Threat Level ORANGE for NYC, N. New Jersey, D.C No Change since 8/1/04
1. Attack threat windows
10/23/04 Primary Window: We are now 11 days away from election day and if AQ is intending to attack before Nov 2, their window of opportunity is rapidly closing. As close as we presently are to the election, it is generally conceived as being unlikely that a 911-style attack would cause the public to shift to Kerry. Many have opinied that the worse case scenario would be for multiple, small bombings to occure across the country on election day, spreading fear and disrupting the election in that manner.
10/21/04 Several senior U.S. officials said Wednesday that an informant who provided information that tied a possible terrorist attack on the United States to the November 2 election has since been determined to be "not credible."
However, the officials stressed, in the words of one, "there is a body of information from many sources which point to an attack on the U.S. sometime this year."
"Al Qaeda is very interested in attacking this country this year," said one official. "This is a case of one source where what was said didn't turn out."
http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/10/20/election.terror/index.html
This is one of the ‘mixed signals’ that are present. Other general reports indicate that credible intelligence point to a pre-election attack. In view of the embarrassment that AQ and the Taliban received as a result of the successful Afghanistan elections, there is increased pressure to attack us. Failure to do so would cause even greater ripples in the Jihadi world as it would appear that the great sheik is impotent against the great satan. IMHO, our intelligence, LEO and military are keeping the terrorists off balance and prohibiting them from attacking at the time of their choosing.
10/23/04 The American Computer Scientists Assoc (ACSA) predicted that Oct 12th is the next likely day for an AQ based attack. This date has come and gone without incident.
10/23/04 Some Jihadi rhetoric on internet and other sites is trying to fuel and increase in attacks against American and Israeli interests during Ramadan as a sign of their devotion.
10/23/04 Secondary window: This window could potentially be extended to Inauguration Day in January 2005. I would consider this period a high risk for potential assassination attempts on the new administration, especially if Bush wins reelection.
2. Attack Indicators
10/23/04 There is still anticipation of an OBL video/audio tape to soon appear. But then we’ve been anticipating this for months now.
10/22/04 Central intelligence agencies are on alert following a report in a Pakistani newspaper, quoting unnamed US intelligence agency sources, that Al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden has left Afghanistan and entered the rugged terrain around the Sino-Indian border.
http://www.thestatesman.net/page.news.php?clid=1&theme=&usress=1&id=57704
This potential movement is debatable as other sources indicate that he is still in the rugged mountainous areas of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. If his movements are true, then this could signal a couple of things. First is that his present location’s security is threatened and that he is moving to a more secure area. The second, more dangerous option, is that a major attack is soon to be launched and he wants to relocate to avoid retaliation, thinking that his current location may be too compromised.
10/22/04 There are also mixed signals reported on TM regarding message traffic levels. Sources are closely guarded but there is reported that the clandistine inter-cell traffic is at pre-911 levels. However, some have also noted internet jihadi chatter has gone up to a degree. It is uncertain what effect Ramadan may be having on traffic levels in both areas.
3. Current Terrorist Operations
Iraq
10/23/04 Margret Hassan, a kidnapped CARE worker providing humanitarian relief to Iraq has been put on display begging for her life. The terrorist demands are the removal of all British troops from Iraq.
10/23/04 The U.S. military has arrested a "senior leader" in the network run by Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, along with five others during overnight raids in the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah, officials said Saturday.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,136387,00.html
10/21/04 Al-Zarqwai recently via an internet site, pledged his and his organization’s loyality to OBL. This come as coalition military operations against him intensify. Some have viewed the pledge as something akin to a cry for help, that by linking his group of terrorists to OBL would generate money and men needed to continue the fight against the coalition and new Iraqi government. If this is true, then the campaign is working.
Coalition forces are bearing down on the Sunni Triangle and are achieving success. This success is not unnoticed by Al Sadr, the Shiite leader who got his clock cleaned at Najif. His forces in Sadr City have been turning in their heavy weapons.
Other signs of the success of the operations point to terrorist targets and the intensity (or lack thereof) of their response. They have not been able to respond any where near the same level of last year at Ramadan. Although they were able to conduct some minor bombings in the Green Zone, they have mostly been restricted to much ‘softer’ targets. As pointed out in earlier summaries, Zarqwai’s forces are predominantly foreign arabs who have apparently overstayed their welcome in the Sunni Triangle and other indeginous groups are pushing to have him ousted. Their degree of cooperation with the new Iraqi government apparently is being displayed by the intelligence being provided to permit airstrikes against safehouses and munitions dumps.
Italy
10/23/04 Nothing new to report.
Afghanistan
10/21/04 Fugitive Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar is facing "serious disagreements" and "significant demoralization" with his commanders because of the rebel group's failure to disrupt Afghanistan's presidential election this month. There are indicators that there is at least one breakaway faction called Jaish-e-Muslimeen, or Muslim Army.
Pakistan
10/23/04 Pakistani military leaders reject the notion that OBL is in the mountainous regions along the border with Afghanistan saying that if he were there, they’d know about it.
Israel
10/21/04 A senior Hamas figure was among two militants killed in an Israeli air strike in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian officials say. Medics say one of the men killed may have been Adnan al-Ghoul, a senior figure in militant group Hamas.
Iran
10/21/04 Iran carried out a new test on Wednesday of its upgraded Shahab-3 ballistic missile, which it appears that it now has the range of at least 2,000 kilometres. Previous figures had put the missile's range at between 1,300 and 1,700 kilometres, already bringing Israel and US bases in the region well within range.
Russia
10/23/04 Nothing new to report.
England
10/21/04 The British Territorial Army has been infiltrated by al-Qaeda suspects, giving the Islamic terrorist group potential access to military bases, explosives, and fuel dumps. Five al-Qaeda suspects are believed to have trained as part-time soldiers with the TA, at least one of whom is now in custody after a series of investigations by MI5 and Scotland Yard's Special Branch.
Syria
10/11/04 Nothing new to report.
Egypt
10/23/04 Nothing new to report.
Saudi Arabia
10/23/04 Nothing new to report.
N. Korea
10/23/04 Talks to reign-in N. Korea’s nuclear weapon program have been discontinued and probably won’t restart until after the US elections.
China / N. Korea
10/23/04 Reports of a Chinese deployment of a substantial number of troops along its border with N. Korea persist.
S. Korea
10/21/04 In a statement released today by Al-Qaeda. They have once again threatened the South Korean Government. They warn that if South Korea doesn't end its collaboration with US Forces, that the capital city of Seoul will be destroyed.
Indonesia
10/23/04 Nothing new to report.
Central & South America
10/23/04 More discussion about the linkage of AQ, drug gangs and infiltration into the US via Mexico.
Spain
10/21/04 Spanish police have arrested seven "radical and violent Islamic activists" in raids across the country. The men were suspected of plotting to attack the country's High Court and included three Algerians, a Moroccan and a Spaniard.
United States
10/22/04 Four men described as Middle Eastern tried to buy a surplus ambulance, two former police cruisers and an old truck from St. Petersburg College this summer, prompting college employees to alert authorities, SPC administrators said Thursday.
In response, the FBI interviewed college employees, expressed an interest in the men and installed surveillance devices in the vehicles in advance of a scheduled pickup, SPC officials said.
But the buyers, who made at least two previous trips to the campus, never showed up for the third and final meeting.
4. Attack method.
10/23/04 No real change in the preferred method of choice of AQ which are bombs - the bigger the better. With the exception of 9/11, car/truck bombs have been widely used. There are special concerns regarding the use by terrorists of the following vehicles:
1. Uhaul type cargo trucks.
2. Gasoline / Propane supply trucks.
3. Emergency vehicles (ambulances, police cars, fire trucks)
5. Personnel
10/23/04 Nothing new to report.
6. Significant meetings canceled:
10/23/04 No new cancellations.
7. Security has been heightened in specific cities
10/23/04 No significant change since 8/11/04. NYC, N. NJ and D.C. are still at threat level ORANGE and DHS continues to review the threat towards these potential targets daily. Specifically identified targets include the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in D.C.; Prudential Financial in Northern New Jersey; and Citigroup buildings and the New York Stock Exchange in New York. I don't look for any change in the status of these locations until after the inauguration at the earliest.
GENERAL: Ongoing work to upgrade security at sea ports and airports.
8. Military operations.
10/23/04 5 carrier groups deployed (CV-67 Kennedy, CV-63 Kitty Hawk, CVN-74 Stennis, CVN-75 Truman, CVN-72 Lincoln ). The addition of the Truman was unexpected. The CVN-70 Vinson is on Surge standby. The other carriers are in post deployment and / or maintenance.
10/23/04 F-117s are still deployed in S. Korea. This is reportedly a part of an on-going deployment of unspecified duration.
9. Dept of Homeland Scty. / State Department
10/23/04 This information is current as of today, Sat Oct 23 2004 02:54:28 GMT-0700.
KYRGYZ REPUBLIC
October 22, 2004
This Public Announcement is being issued to remind U.S. citizens of the security situation in the Kyrgyz Republic. Extremist groups such as the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), a terrorist organization with links to al-Qaida, may be planning terrorist acts targeting U.S. Government facilities, Americans or American interests in the Kyrgyz Republic. This supersedes the Public Announcement of April 27, 2004, and expires on April 30, 2005.
10. Suspicious Domestic Incidents Not Currently Linked to Specific Terrorism Attempts
10/21/04 More punctures were found on the underside of air liners. However, no solid pattern has emerged and it has been reported that the damage is unlikely to be a result of normal operations such as take offs and landings.
10/21/04 Anti-terror officials were called in last night after cops stopped a man carrying a fake passport and $40,000 in cash and money orders at the Manhattan-bound entrance to the Battery Tunnel, sources said.
The man, who said he was originally from Michigan, refused to answer questions. "I ain't telling you nothing," he said, according to the sources.
Detroit Michigan has a large concentration of Moslems, however, there is no information as to whether this individual was a Moslem or not.

Russia's Central Bank has ceased to support the US Dollar. The timing of this event is both highly curious and suspect. Should the American dollar experience massive sales by foreign central banks and individuals, then it is clear that an attack on the USD is underway prior to the election — which may precede physical terror attacks upon the continental U.S. Additional info: U$D Selloff Continues in Eastern Bloc
