Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - Thread Thirty-Five

Posted on 03/09/2006 10:08:04 PM PST by nwctwx

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Unrest in Pakistan Setback for Terror War
(Full Story)

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- A week of unprecedented urban fighting in the wild tribal belt of North Waziristan has left scores dead and forced thousands to flee their homes, raising the stakes in Pakistan's war on Islamic militancy along the Afghan border.

A jumbled alliance of foreign militants, local tribesmen and Islamic students eager for jihad have stepped up resistance in a region where the army already claims to have wiped out al-Qaida as a viable fighting force.

The unrest, brewing for months, is a setback to the U.S.-led war on terror. Further hampering that effort are deteriorating relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan over Afghan claims that Taliban leader Mullah Omar is hiding in Pakistan and suicide bombers are training here.

CAPITOL HILL (AP) — Police have closed off entries and exits to the U.S. Senate's Dirksen Office Building. The Dirksen building itself was not evacuated.

Police have also announced that people should avoid a sub-basement level where a subway connects the building to the Capitol.

Fire trucks and ambulances are positioned between the Capitol grounds and the office building. Some firefighters have put on white hazardous material outfits.

"Pickens County Woman Shoots Home Invader (NC)"
FOX 21 ^ | April 14, 2006 | Staff

Posted on 04/17/2006 4:15:43 PM PDT by DaveLoneRanger

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A house in Liberty is the epitome of peace, especially with the sound of chimes. Hard to believe, something violent happened inside. Pickens County Investigators say Brian Teague forced his way into Susan Hendricks' home Thursday evening and refused to leave.

"She felt threatened," says Lt. Lane Byers, Pickens County Sheriff's Office. "She felt she could not leave the home to get away from him. And she felt she had to defend herself. She used a firearm to do so."

Hendricks reportedly shot Teague several times. She was trying to take food to her disabled father next door, when everything escalated. He told me this wasn't the first time Teague tried to hurt his daughter. And investigators knew this."

They apparently found which one was the primary cause, they are conducting a review of his records to identify any other potential bad mixes. Because of the urgency of the surgery, they loaded him up with a lot of stuff which is still probably working its way out of his system. But again, the hallucination phase is currently over.

Iraqi, Coalition Forces Foil Terrorist Attacks

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, April 17, 2006 – Iraqi security and coalition forces responded to several attacks in the Baghdad and Ramada areas of Iraq today, officials reported.
An Iraqi army patrol was fired upon at about 3:50 a.m. today in Adhamiyah, a neighborhood in north Baghdad, starting a protracted firefight that raged through to the early afternoon.

At about 7:45 a.m. an estimated 50 gunmen attacked a combined checkpoint of Iraqi police and U.S. forces, resulting in a call for assistance.

A force consisting of five companies of soldiers from 2nd Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army, and two quick-reaction force platoons from Multinational Division Baghdad's 506th Infantry Regiment responded.

Firefights between the terrorists and the Iraqi and coalition force elements lasted until about 1:20 p.m.

Soldiers from the Iraqi brigade continue conducting cordon and searches in the area of the firefight to root out the terrorists and secure the area.

During the course of the fight, five terrorists were killed and seven detained. Reports indicate two Iraqi soldiers have been wounded.

In other action, coalition forces responded to insurgent attacks at several locations in central Ramadi today, including the Ramadi government center and Fatemat Mosque.

The attacks, involving multiple car bombs, mortars, rocket-propelled grenades, and heavy machine-gun and small-arms fire, occurred between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. and appeared to be closely coordinated.

In one incident, Marines from 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, were attacked from the mosque with RPGs, heavy machine-gun fire and small-arms fire. They returned fire, but continued to be attacked from the mosque's minaret. The Marines fired one 120 mm tank round and several 7.62 mm machine gun rounds into the minaret, after which fire from the mosque ceased.

"This is the fourth time in three-and-a-half weeks that the Ramadi government center has received attacks from the Fatemat Mosque," said Lt. Col. Stephen M. Neary, the Marine battalion's commander. "I'm extremely proud of my Marines - they only used the proportionate amount of force necessary to repel the insurgent attack."

"Coalition forces take significant measures to respect all religious sites," said Marine spokesperson Lt. Col. Bryan Salas, "but we always maintain the inherent right of self-defense. When insurgents use holy places as safe havens from which to attack coalition forces, it is important that we act quickly to defend ourselves and innocent Iraqi civilians."

HELP SPREAD, AND GET THE WORD OUT


HISPANIC LEADERS SPEAK OUT!

Augustin Cebada, Brown Berets; "Go back to Boston! Go back to Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims! Get out! We are the future. You are old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you. Leave like beaten rats. You old white people. It is your duty to die . . Through love of having children, we are going to take over.

Richard Alatorre, Los Angeles City Council. "They're afraid we're going to take over the governmental institutions and other institutions. They're right. We will take them over . . . We are here to stay."

Excelsior, the national newspaper of Mexico, "The American Southwest seems to be slowly returning to the jurisdiction of Mexico without firing a single shot."

Professor Jose Angel Gutierrez, University of Texas; "We have an aging white America. They are not making babies. They are dying. The explosion is in our population . . . I love it. They are shitting in their pants with fear. I love it."

Art Torres, Chairman of the California Democratic Party, "Remember 187--proposition to deny taxpayer funds for services to non-citizens--was the last gasp of white America in California."

Gloria Molina, Los Angeles County Supervisor, "We are politicizing every single one of these new citizens that are becoming citizens of this country . . . I gotta tell you that a lot of people are saying, "I'm going to go out there and vote because I want to pay them back."

Mario Obledo, California Coalition of Hispanic Organizations and California State Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Governor Jerry Brown, also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton, "California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn't like it should leave."

Jose Pescador Osuna, Mexican Consul General , "We are practicing 'La Reconquista' in California."

Professor Fernando Guerra, Loyola Marymount University; "We need to avoid a white backlash by using codes understood by Latinos . . . "

Are these just the words of a few extremists? Consider that we could fill up many pages with such quotes. Also, consider that these are mainstream Mexican leaders.

THE U.S. VS MEXICO: On February 15, 1998, the U.S. and Mexican soccer teams met at the Los Angeles Coliseum. The crowd was overwhelmingly pro-Mexican even though most lived in this country. They booed during the National Anthem and U.S. flags were held upside down. As the match progressed, supporters of the U.S. team were insulted, pelted with projectiles, punched and spat upon. Beer and trash were thrown at the U.S. players before and after the match. The coach of the U.S. team, Steve Sampson said, "This was the most painful experience I have ever had in this profession."

Did you know that immigrants from Mexico and other non-European countries can come to this country and get preferences in jobs, education, and government contracts? It's called affirmative action or racial privilege. The Emperor of Japan or the President of Mexico could migrate here and immediately be eligible for special rights unavailable for Americans of European descent. Recently, a vote was taken in the U.S. Congress to end this practice. It was defeated. Every single Democratic senator except Ernest Hollings voted to maintain special privileges for Hispanic, Asian and African immigrants. They were joined by thirteen Republicans. Bill Clinton and Al Gore have repeatedly stated that they believe that massive immigration from countries like Mexico is good. They have also backed special privileges for these immigrants.

Corporate America has signed on to the idea that minorities and third world immigrants should get special, privileged status. Some examples are Exxon, Texaco, Merrill Lynch, Boeing, Paine Weber, Starbucks and many more.

DID YOU KNOW?: Did you know that Mexico regularly intercedes on the side of the defense in criminal cases involving Mexican nationals? Did you know that Mexico has NEVER extradited a Mexican national accused of murder in the U.S. in spite of agreements to do so? According to the L.A. Times, Orange County, California is home to 275 gangs with 17,000 members;

98% of which are Mexican and Asian. How's your county doing?

According to a New York Times article dated May 19,

1994, 20 years after the great influx of legal immigrants from Southeast Asia, 30% are still on welfare compared to 8% of households nationwide. A Wall Street Journal editorial dated December 5, 1994 quotes law enforcement officials as stating that Asian mobsters are the "greatest criminal challenge the country faces." Not bad for a group that is still under 5% of the population.

Is education important to you? Here are the words of a teacher who spent over 20 years in the Los Angeles School system. "Imagine teachers in classes containing 30-40 students of widely varying attention spans and motivation, many of whom aren't fluent in English. Educators seek learning materials likely to reach the majority of students and that means fewer words and math problems and more pictures and multicultural references."

WHEN I WAS YOUNG: When I was young, I remember hearing about the immigrants that came through Ellis Island. They wanted to learn English. They wanted to breath free. They wanted to become Americans. Now too many immigrants come here with demands. They demand to be taught in their own language. They demand special privileges--affirmative action. They demand ethnic studies that glorify their culture.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?: Send copies of this letter to at least two other people, 100 would be even better. and;

Call, write, fax, or email your U.S. Senators now

Stated Mexican Foreign Minister Ernesto Derbez in interviews given 1/16/03 (his first day in office):

“....the president of the Republic [Fox], since the beginning of his administration, has been worried about two fundamental things. One, the respect for the rights of our fellow citizens that are laboring, working in the United States...we have to continue this policy of support for them, of support for their rights, that they be valued and respected in the United States. And secondly, that a solution be sought to this process.... that leads to.... tranquility and legality for all our fellow citizens.”

“The topic is still important, a priority for the Mexican agenda... I have been commissioned by the President with carrying it out, but maybe, with a new way of arriving to a solution... ....I am convinced that what we have to do now is seek other formulas, other ways, other realities ...if the whole enchilada is not possible, then we can divide it into small ‘enchiladitas’ ....and that for me is the central issue now, that is to find what size the enchiladitas can be to advance the process.”

Would you like some pico de gallo with that? :)

I could write a huge book on the corruption in that city. People don't have a clue how bad it really is. And with their new Pancho VillaRaigosa, I can just imagine what he's scheming. It won't take to long for it to come out!
