From Wiki:

They likely tethered a smart phone for internet access. The rest of the world is much more advanced in their internet access.

I should have bought tin foil stock. There seems to be a huge demand for it around here.

With that as the real head of the snake, the target for a SIOP would be a certain city of one of our so-called allies in the Middle East. The one with a certain venerated rock.

In that drawing Mahomet has man-boobs.

There is proof they had electricity in the photos of his bedroom. Look at the floor near the foot of the bed. There you will see a CPAP machine and breathing hose. He, or whoever slept in that room, had sleep apnea. The CPAP is electric.

Oil markets and all that jazz. I wish we could exercise our will on Mecca, but the House of Saud feeds a lot of greed.

Yes, man boobs plus the painting depicts the violent pedophile standing upon earth filled with infidels, the Christian Cross, and the Ten Commandments in the hope that all will be crushed.

There are many discrepancies in the reporting and I was attacked for saying so earlier. Like the DNA evidence... fox has reported that it matched and they have reported that it will take a couple of more days. What are we SUPPOSED to believe. Personally I trust no one any longer.

If that CPAP machine was on there is no way he heard the Helos or the firefight.

God Bless Our Troops
