"Shooting Closes San Diego Border Crossing"
May 19th - 2:51am
By THOMAS WATKINS Associated Press Writer


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "SAN DIEGO (AP) - The world's busiest border crossing reopened early Friday following a nine-hour closure that occurred after federal authorities shot and killed the driver of a car headed for Mexico, officials said.

The driver, who was not identified, was pronounced dead at the scene with multiple gunshot wounds, said Maurice Luque, a spokesman for the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. No other injuries were reported.


U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents began following a black sport utility vehicle after somebody reported seeing it pick up suspected illegal immigrants near the U.S. side of the Otay Mesa border crossing, said Lt. Kevin Rooney of San Diego Police Department.


As traffic backed up near the border, the vehicle stopped on the shoulder. When agents approached, the suspect "began to drive off and he veered hard to the left, trying to get back in traffic," Rooney said. Two agents then opened fire, he said."

"Mohammed Uses British Government Tax Breaks to Fund Anti-Christian Da Vinci Code Movie
Will Christians Pay Mohammed to Attack Jesus Christ and His Church?"




By Dr. Ted Baehr, Publisher of MOVIEGUIDE®

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "HOLLYWOOD, CA (ANS) -- Mohammed Yusef, the founder of Invicta Capital in Great Britain, is using a government tax incentive program to fund the movie version of the Anti-Christian Da Vinci Code novel for Sony Pictures.

According to the Times of London, the London-based Invicta is taking advantage of British tax rules to provide Sony with £100 million of the £114 million that the movie reportedly cost. The capital allows Sony to dramatically reduce its cost of borrowing money to producer and market the movie.

The Da Vinci Code movie qualified for an outgoing regime of tax breaks because it was partially shot in the United Kingdom. The British government is phasing out the tax incentives because of allegations of abuse.

Mohammed Yusef, chairman of the advisory firm Invicta Capital, has said: "We are delighted to have successfully concluded the largest-ever film sale and leaseback in the UK. The Da Vinci Code is a very exciting film and we have seen strong demand from our clients looking to invest in it."

According to the Times, Invicta buys the entire movie from Sony with its money then leases it back to the producer. Invicta covers its £100 million investment by raising cash from wealthy investors, usually in amounts ranging from £2 million to £3 million. Sony will then guarantee these individual investments by providing a steady stream of payments over a 15-year period. This allows the investors to defer tax bills running into hundreds of thousands of pounds, and even have access to some of their investment money before the tax bills finally come due.

The British government thus is helping Mohammed to conduct a jihad against Christians by promoting the Bible bashing, anti-Christian propaganda in The Da Vinci Code."
