It figures that they would go to a liberal haven.

Good thing they are not "white" Americans, because, there would have already been a WACO invasion, and all men, women, and children, would have been killed, take NO survivors!

Yep, yep & the government wants to sell a port in Pennsylvania to the United Arab Emirates. Are we insane, or what?

"The report noted the property is near the Cannonsville Reservoir and Watershed Area, one of several water supply sources servicing New York City and adjacent areas. "

Boy...they are in for a shocker if they attempt to launch any attacks from this area. I spend a good amount of time in a neighboring town during deer season and suffice it to say that there is a very large number of heavily armed patriotic Americans in the area.

You have to rememeber, it has taken years for the FBI to infiltrate and track what the Eco-nuts of ELF and ALF have been doing across the western US. The entire time, they never mentioned enviro-nazism as a group they were focused on.

I imagine the same is going on now. Let them think everything is normal, nothing to see here safe, and then hang them when the time is right.

We need someone in the White House who thinks like Genghis Khan and not like Mr. Rogers.

The Pakistani terrorist group Jamaat ul Fuqra is using Islamic schools in the United States as training facilities, confirms a joint investigative report by an intelligence think tank and an independent reporter.

Yes, but I'm sure they work cheap, so that more than makes up for it.

FOX 5 here sent one of their investigative reporters, John Deutzman, to Islamberg today. If there was some trouble to find up there, he would have found it - a city councilman under investigation literally threw stuff at him while he was reporting from public property outside the councilman's house.

Deutzman found nothing up there. There were no armed guards at the guard shack, and he wandered around the property with a hidden camera for about 5-10 minutes before anyone even came out to question him. When they did, one resident, a black Muslim, denied that the compound had anything to do with terrorism - he claimed he moved up there to escape the problems of New York City. Deutzman also met with the "mayor" of Islamberg, who had some "interesting" theories about 9/11 (the usual Bush knew and had the air force stand down nonsense). According to Fox 5, the "mayor" is currently under investigation by the FBI for evading taxes in connection with a business he ran in Brooklyn. The residents didn't deny owning guns, or firing them off during weddings and such. They claimed that the FBI gave awards during some summer events - the FBI refused to confirm or deny it.

Islamberg looked like a craphole. There was a bus on site (as antaresequity somehow pointed out from the satellite photos), but the windows were smashed in. Some of the houses looked half-built and uninhabited.

One neighbor of the compound said that while some weapons training may have been going on before 9/11, the compound has been fairly quiet ever since. Deutzman also interviewed the police chief in nearby Deposit, NY (the compound is in between Deposit and Hancock), who said that he hasn't had much trouble with the folks there.

From the Fox 5 report, this sounds like it is much ado about nothing and that the authorities are aware of the place.

Nice.

I'll bet the summer camp Terrorist Training Center is still there!

[El Gato]

Nearly every weekend, sound of gunfire can be heard from the camp. According to one neighbor who stated he's a combat veteran of the Vietnam War, some of the weapons obviously are "automatic" and large-caliber. On at least two occasions last summer, area residents heard small explosions

This is BATFE's jurisdiction, but they rarely take on cases where the subjects are thought to be likely to shoot back. Sometimes their judgment is off, as at Mt. Carmel near Waco. They much prefer putting gun dealers out of business for paperwork violations.

Where is Jackboot Janet when we need her?
