Al Qaeda Mag Urges Attack on Koch Brothers, Buffett, Bloomberg
NBC ^ | Sept 9, 2015 | ROBERT WINDREM and TRACY CONNOR

Posted on 09/09/2015 8:05:16 PM PDT by Jet Jaguar

A notorious al Qaeda magazine is encouraging lone-wolf terrorist attacks on U.S. economic leaders, including Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg and Warren Buffett.

The list in Inspire magazine also included industrialist brothers Charles and David Koch, internet entrepreneur Larry Ellison, and casino magnate Sheldon Adelson. A prominent economist was also on the list but asked that his name be withheld. Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke was named, though not Janet Yellen, who succeeded him.

Also pictured was Jim Walton, one of the heirs to the Wal-Mart fortune, although he was misidentified in the caption as his late father, Sam Walton. Several other names on the list were misspelled.

The slickly produced magazine article begins with a photo illustration showing blood-spattered pictures of several of the leaders next to a dripping gun. Its stated goal is to derail the "revival of the America Economy."

The article says the "economic personalities" and "wealthy entrepreneurs" can get off the list by withdrawing their money from U.S. banks, investing their wealth outside American soil, and denouncing support for Israel.

Evan Kohlmann of Flashpoint Intelligence, an NBC News counterterrorism analyst, said that while much of the magazine's content is "somewhat aspirational," it has also played a role in actual plots.

A senior U.S. intelligence official told NBC News that the article is an example of al Qaeda’s newfound focus on lone-wolf attacks, taking a page from from ISIS’ strategy book.

And guns and soda pop, don't forget the guns and soda pop. Wouldn't it be cool if these guys, well it's a dream because Gates and Bloomberg, each tossed a billion in for mercenaries to kill as many Al Qaeda as they could find with bonuses for the leadership?

The list has apparently been amended to also include Yosemite Sam, The Abominable Snowman, Ellen DeGeneres, Michael Jordan, all members of the Backstreet Boys, and Geraldo Rivera. This list may have been fabricated.

Holy crap, yet another break for Trump, and another hit against the liberal and (R)ino establishment. They can't catch a break lately while The Donald gets them all.

Nothing like a good fatwah to remind these uber-rich internationalist traitorous slimeballs why they still remain American citizens - personal security, favorable taxes, protection from foreign regimes.

How much you wanna bet that Buffet, Zuck and Bloomberg will at least be secretly rooting for Trump now since he says he will crush ISIS and would be the most likely one to completely follow through. Their asses are on the line, well they always were but they were too insulated to see it, but now they got the memo.

Keeping the (R)inos in power to ensure their cronyism and supply of low wage is ( pardon the pun ) trumped by the inability to spend all that money if you are beheaded and dead. Six of one, a half dozen of another? Don't think so. They will now be forced to consider straight-up logic.
