San Bernardino Attackers’ Friend Spoke of ‘Sleeper Cells’

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — The regulars did not take it seriously when Enrique Marquez mused about terrorism at Morgan’s Tavern, a dank dive bar where the bespectacled 24-year-old hauled ice, cleaned bathrooms and checked ID’s at the door. After a few drinks, he would just start talking – about his money woes, trying to lose weight, wanting to join the Navy. News reports about terror were just fodder for more bar talk.

“He would say stuff like: ‘There’s so much going on. There’s so many sleeper cells, so many people just waiting. When it happens, it’s going to be big. Watch,’ ” said Nick Rodriguez, a frequent patron who had known Mr. Marquez on and off for the past two years. “We took it as a joke. When you look at the kid and talk to him, no one would take him seriously about that.”

“Last year, Mr. Marquez married the Russian sister of Raheel Farook’s wife . He later told a friend and people at the bar that it was a sham marriage for immigration purposes. He told bar patrons he had been paid $5,000 or $10,000 to marry Ms. Gigliotti’s sister, Mariya Chernykh.”

I used to joke about who would have to learn the other’s language after filling our nation with ‘migrants’...The Muslims or the Mexicans. Instead it appears they have teamed up to destroy we natives.

We used to post about all the Mexicans who are converting to Islam. We were told that could never happen.....

Sleeper cells.

OK

It’s as if we are all on 9/12/2001 with them.

But we are not. We know all we need to know because we are not stupid.

I was offered $20,000 to do just that in the 90s. People I worked with had a sister in El Salvador. It seemed like a bad plan, and I passed. Had visions of the woman suing me for alimony at some point. Seemed very short sighted. Went with my gut— no way Jose. Not me.

Obama wants more people to die in terrorist attacks so he can push for more gun control.

Muslims do not have a language. They are world wide and speak many many languages

“Obama wants more people to die in terrorist attacks so he can push for more gun control.”

There is that, but I suspect that’s only a fringe benefit of a much larger plan.

Nearly EVERYONE I know is tawkin bout the need to arm up for their safety. Folks at work, close friends, other people in pubs at tables next to ya....tawkin bout the dangers we Americans are now facing.

So called leaders up in D.C. pulling foreigners into this country as fast as they can and passing policy to protect foreigners FROM American citizens.

Monumental betrayal of America right before our very eyes. If you have a CHL....carry your weapon. It is now up to the average Joe to protect their families.

a muslim who does not read and understand Arabic can only read a translation of the quran, not the direct word of allah which was passed in Arabic- an important distinction they make

muslims must pray in Arabic

if you say there are muslims who do not speak Arabic as a first or primary tongue you are correct but all must learn at least some Arabic to practice their faith

WHEN will America get serious about closing the mosques — ALL of them — in this country? This is a Christian Republic and I think it should STAY that way?

America needs its own Pinochet — a man not afraid to do what needs to be done to save the country.

I can only hope that some day they will be held accountable for their betrayal. All of them....every single last one.

Can you not see comments in the NYT unless you subscribe? A good trick because that is usually what I want to see.

Another thing I find strange: they call everyone Mr. And Ms. Why? In this day of far less titles, and of gender bending, why is the NYT careful to document both gender and title? I don’t think terrorists deserve titles.

Mariya is an interesting person, as is her sister Tatiana. I wonder where in Russia exactly they are from. Two months before she ‘married’ Marquez, “Maria Romero” was shacked up with one Oscar Romero and posing with their baby girl on social media while also selling cell phone covers from a kiosk owned by Tatiana at a local mall.

More info on the Russian sisters (including pix): here:http://abcnews.go.com/International/san-bernardino-attack-visas-wives-terror/story?id=35674749
