Date: 9 January 2009
Details: Hasan had been an active participant, and invited general guest, to such policy seminars featuring VIPs on the issue of TERRORISM and HOMELAND SECURITY, between the period of June 2008 and February 2009. As has been reported on FR and elsewhere, his name is listed in the proceedings. On one of these occasions, which may well be on tape, terrorist Hasan asked a question which apparently turned into either a ramble or a rant, and he was cut off by the Director of the policy group. (This may well have been in support of Islam or against US policy). On two known occasions, both on 3 December 2008 and again on 9 January 2009, Hasan took a position close to the speakers dais at these by invitation events, and appears in photographs and videos in his US Army BDU uniform. I am not sure of the specific executive security situation at GWU in Washington not far from the White House the day of this event, if there were metal detectors or what not, but it does appear the Israeli Ambassador had personnel protection nearby which may have hindered a possible attack by Maj. Hasan, who nevertheless could well have been armed and dangerous at the time—knowing what we know now. I invite you to look at his movements and demeanor of Hasan in this video, and follow my comments. Others may also have comments or notice things I did not. This is a group effort, let us all try our best to interpret events.
00:13 Shooter in second row from front directly in front of Ambassador and Dr. Alexander.
06:24 Video shows, in the upper center, US Army Major dressed in BDU, looking down, as he is seated in the second row. Either taking notes, or in deep thought.
31:40 to 32:03 Clear view of Hasan from back of room, looking down the whole time, on right in military uniform.
75:00 to 75:25 Very Clear close up view of Major Hasan! It is him.
84:10 Moderator asks, in accordance with security measures, that everyone “please remain seated” while Ambassador Meridor leaves
84:23 Moderator demands AGAIN, that everyone remain seated as Ambassador leaves the event, followed closely behind by one special detail agent, either Secret Service or more likely Israeli Embassy protection (green shirt/tie).
84:35 Hasan, relatively close to the departing Ambassador, one of a few to disregard the request, slowly starts to rise, as some VIPs in front of him are shaking hands with the leaving diplomat, provoking the moderator a THIRD time to tell him and the audience to sit down as told. Hasan can be seen sitting down, through the crowd, as told.
85:12 Hasan looks straight into the camera, he is in the center of the view, spotlight on his bald head which shines. His demeanor and facial manner have an odd, dark nature about them. The Ambassador has left the immediate area and is exiting the auditorium.
Whenever this Hasan appears in the video, he did not look like a happy camper. We may suspect, in his Salafist Fundamentalist rage, he may well have been seething inside at the positions expressed by the Ambassador; this event was right during an Israeli flare up with Hamas Palestinian terrorists on the Gaza Strip (Operation Cast Lead) due to their terrorist rocket attacks on civilians in Israel.
Shown at the very end of the video even appears to be Amb. Paul Bremer, who served as chief of the Coalition Authority to Iraq, and other VIPs well within close range of Major Hasan.
For general discussion and input, additional videos or audios, eyewitness reports, etc. Of particular value would be the video or audio if it exists of the one HSPI event in Washington, D.C. when mass murderer Major Hasan made a general audience question into a public statement. Assistance is requested in finding and disseminating that one in particular, which may well provide some keen insight into this individual and perhaps even prove some pundits off-target in their current criminal profile and analysis.
I saw this. I found it extremely troubling. Glad to see I’m not alone.
Good job!
So what do you suggest this means? That he was stalking the Israeli ambassador? Testing access? What?
Excellent work! This appears to be a good sized auditorium; Hasan evidently arrived early to ensure that he would get a close seat.
Bttt
Make sure Jimbo gets this
Good job, AIT!
Great post...
Liberals: idiots who think Goliath is speaking “truth to power” when taking to David...
We will probably never know what this terrorist’s mindset was on the day he attended this event. No matter what he may or may not have had in mind, this is chilling.
Great work.
I’ll be using this before the clips disappear.

Stunning. AIT, good work, but I truly am speechless. Too many people, from the Army to the planners of events like these, blithely allow, perhaps even invite, the sworn enemies of freedom into our midst. How can we win the war on terror if we keep playing pattycakes with the terrorists??
Can’t see the clips. CommieTube is down.
The Code of Conduct

I
I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.
II
I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist.
III
If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and to aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.
IV
If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and will back them up in every way.
V
When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause.
Sleep well tonight; the CIA, FBI, ACORN, CAIR, and Attorney General Eric Holder are protecting everyone’s rights...
His family is Palestinian. He clearly took an interest in events concerning the Palestinians. I think there should be no doubt that he took up their cause and deliberately set out to slaughter our American soldiers. This guy is a sleeper, no question about it. We know it, the army knows it and zero knows it. Nice work AIT.
Ping!
I’m at the library and not able to access video and such, but thank you for sharing this information. I have to admit I found it a little odd that in the midst of the general “maybe he went nuts”, there are numerous reporters on all networks who ARE treating this as a terrorist act.
When I first heard about this on the radio and they didn’t release the man’s name or description, I told my husband “He’s Muslim - I just know it”, and sure enough... Sometimes I REALLY do hate being right about these things.
Anyway, it’s frustrating that if he’s been watched for a while now that no-one thought it odd that he gave away his furniture and many copies of the Koran to his neighbors in the day or days before his heinous act.
Thanks again for putting this up AIT — I hope to be able to watch and listen ASAP!
[PS - I am not able to access the internet at home right now, so please excuse me if I don’t respond to any responses to this post...]
Prayers being said for all the brave men and women killed by this evil man, and prayers for their families, friends, and the entire base of Ft. Hood. May God bless them all with comfort in their time of sorrow. Prayers for those recovering from wounds as well...
I will refrain from further comments about the shooter as I’d get in trouble saying what I WANT to say about him!!!
Please read and pass on to your ping lists.
