85 illegal aliens discovered hidden inside 4 separate tractor trailers
Most of the aliens had been locked inside the trailers with no means of escape
LAREDO, Texas - Eighty-five illegal aliens were arrested here Thursday night as they were being smuggled into the United States hidden inside four tractor trailers. The four groups of smuggling-load arrests were made jointly by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Border Patrol, Laredo Sector.
According to ICE and CBP, these four stops occurred within a five-hour time span as the trucks were entering the United States from Mexico. During CBP’s routine inspection, agents either noticed suspicious activity coming from inside the trailers, or they were alerted by on-site canines on duty. Each of the truck drivers was then referred to secondary inspection.
The first group of 15 Mexicans was discovered at about 7 p.m. hiding inside the cab’s sleeper compartment. At about 8:30 p.m. a second group of 12 Mexicans and three Guatemalans was also found hiding in a tractor trailer’s sleeper cab. Just before 11 p.m. another tractor trailer was stopped, and 32 illegal aliens were discovered in the locked trailer with no means of escape. The last truck was stopped just a few minutes later, and 20 Mexicans, two Hondurans, and a Salvadoran were found also locked in the trailer. All those discovered inside the trailers appeared to be in good health; they declined medical attention.
Charges are pending against the four truck drivers that attempted to illegally smuggle these individuals. On Tuesday, all four drivers will appear before a federal magistrate to be formally charged.
“This criminal activity clearly re-emphasizes the fact that human smugglers have no regard for human life,” said Jerry Robinette, special agent-in-charge for the ICE Office of Investigations in San Antonio. “ICE will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to bring to justice those who blatantly disregard the laws of this nation. “Targeting these smuggling organizations is critical to securing our borders and ensuring compliance with our immigration and customs laws.”
This is an ongoing investigation.

“Iran-Backed Groups Using Secret Arms Stores: U.S”.
Sunday, February 17, 2008 11:14 PM
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “BAGHDAD — The U.S. military said on Sunday it had evidence Iranian-backed Shi’ite militias in Iraq were increasingly using secret weapons stores to attack U.S. and Iraqi forces.
The accusation comes days after Tehran postponed talks with the United States on improving security in Iraq for “technical reasons,” a move that prompted rebukes from U.S. officials.
“In just the past week, Iraqi and coalition forces captured 212 weapons caches across Iraq, two of those inside Baghdad, (which have) growing links to Iranian-backed special groups,” military spokesman Real Admiral Gregory Smith told reporters.
The military uses the term “special groups” to describe rogue elements in the Mehdi Army militia of Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. It says these militants get weapons, funding and training from neighboring Iran.”
There are a lot of 'conspiracy' sites out there that hold little credibility although they can spin a story. From your original post, lots of unconfirmed rumors, etc., thats stuff these sites live on, MSM is not going to necessarily investigate, and lack of investigation/reporting does not automatically make the rumor mills valid. What would increase the validity would be the names of these 'power brokers', association with previous acts of terror, etc.
So . . .
What is your opinion of docs like this one:
http://www.namebase.org/news01.html
I’ve studied primary and near primary sources on such topics since I had to in my library job in 1965.
Mutter derisively all you wish about conspiracy sites . . . some have plenty of hokey stuff, it appears.
However, I believe that when the dust settles after Armageddon . . . the worst and most flakey of the sites will turn out to have been conservative and hardly have told half the horrid story.
REMEMBER.
It WAS the MOST flakey organizations, pamphlets, leaflets, posters, etc.
who MOST ACCURATELY AND EARLIEST
PREDICTED
WHO HITLER WAS AND WHAT HE WOULD DO.
The world’s foremost expert on that topic was my library boss.
Quix -
You may believe these sources to be valid. In my experience they have not provided valid information. From the stories raised over the past 10 years, our country should have been turned over to these powers multiple times over. There are plenty of more credible sites out there that I listen to and conspiracy sites just don’t make it past my common sense filter.

Iran: Father ‘stones 14-year-old daughter to death’
AKI ^ | 18 Feb. 2008 | Staff
Posted on 02/18/2008 12:39:29 PM PST by forkinsocket
Tehran, 18 Feb. (AKI) - A man known as Sharif has reportedly stoned his fourteen-year-old daughter to death in southeastern Iran because for allegedly having a relationship with a man.
Sharif’s wife reported him to police after he and a friend killed the girl in Zahedan, capital of Baluchistan province.
Sharif showed no sign of remorse, telling police who interrogated him: “I suspected that my daughter had a relationship with a man and I had to stone her to death as she had besmirched my honour.”
“I had no other choice,” he said, telling police how he had carried out the stoning.
Two sisters, Azar and Zohreh Kabiri, 27 and 28 years-old respectively were earlier this month sentenced to death by stoning for allegedly committing adultery.
The women each have one child. They are from the suburb of Shahriar, near Karaj, north of the capital, Tehran.
The Kabiri sisters have already received 99 lashes each.

UK jihadist taught five-year-old son: “Kuffar — kill! Sheikh Osama bin Laden I love”
Proud papa
Feel the love. Parviz Khan Update: “Leader ‘groomed children for terrorism,’” by Duncan Gardham in the Telegraph:
In one recorded conversation of May 2006 he was heard shouting at his five-year-old son when he made a mistake reading the Koran from heart.
He made him stand in front of him with his hands by his side and demanded: “Who do you love?”
The child answered: “I love Sheikh Osama bin Laden.”
“And?” said Khan.
“Sheikh Abdel-Rahman” referring to the “Blind sheikh” in prison in the US.
“And?” asked Khan.
“Sheikh Abu Hamza” referring to the jailed imam at Finsbury Park Mosque in North London.
“Who do you kill?” asked Khan.
“America kill,” said the boy.
“Who else you kill?” said Khan.
“Bush I kill,” said the boy.
“And who else?” demanded Khan.
“Blair kill, both people kill.”
“Who else you kill?” asked Khan.
“Saddam, Saddam,” said the boy.
Then the pair began chanting at each other.
Khan said: “Kuffar [non-believers]” the boy said: “Kill.”
Khan said: “Mushrik [polytheists]” and the boy said: “Kill.”
Then it continued with: “Hindu?... Kill... Sheedi [blacks]?... Kill... Pathan [thieves]?...Kill...Sharab [alcohol]?...Kill...And who do you love?...Sheikh Osama bin Laden, I love.”
On another occasion, he paraded his daughter, then three, in front of “Uncle Zahoor” Iqbal, saying: “Listen to this, when you go in the mountains what are you going to make for mujahid [holy fighters]? Say it louder. What else are you going to make them?”
She could be heard talking about food and Khan went on: “You know sometimes when she’s sleeping, two o’clock in the morning, she always says to me. What are you going to cook in the mountains? Chapattis.
“Inshallah [god willing] she’ll marry into them and give birth to them. Inshallah.”...

“Germany: Muslim Arrested For Assisting Al Qaeda”
Snippet: “News from Reuters, ABC.net.au, Associated Press, PR-Inside, Deutsche Presse-Agentur, New York Times and Expatica:”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “On Friday, German police announced that a Pakistan-born German national had been arrested. The 45-year old man was, in accordance with German press conventions, only named as Aleem N., though a relative revealed in a telephone interview that his full name is Aleem Nasir.
He was arrested at his home in Germersheim in Rheinland-Palatinate in the southwest of Germany on Thursday. Police said he had supplied on three occasions night-vision equipment, money, binoculars and radios to Al Qaeda operatives on the Pakistan/Afghanistan border. He had also made one trip in which he supplied cash only. On each occasion he brought $5,850 in cash. He had made four trips there between April 2005 and June 2007.
On his last visit to Pakistan, he had offered himself up to become a fighter for Al Qaeda, and was sent to a training camp where he received explosives training, stated federal prosecutors in the southern city of Karlsruhe.”

“Pressure on Sadr and the Iranian-backed Special Groups continues”
By BILL ROGGIO
February 18, 2008 2:49 AM
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “As previously reported at The Long War Journal, US and Iraqi forces have stepped up operations against the Iranian-backed and Mahdi Army-linked Special Groups terror cells. The increase in activity comes as Muqtada al Sadr is deliberating the reinstatement or cancellation of the self-imposed cease-fire.
Since the last report, the US military has singled out a former Mahdi Army commander as being behind violence in northern Baghdad while a senior spokesman said Iran is still supporting terror operations in Iraq. “The intent of Iran in supporting the training and financing [the Special Groups] we believe continues,” said Rear Admiral Gregory Smith, the director of Multinational Forces Iraq’s Communication Division. “In just the past week, Iraqi and coalition forces captured 212 weapons caches across Iraq, two of those coming from here inside Baghdad, with growing links to the Iranian-backed special groups.””

Muslim mob took out eye of a Christian and injured women in attack on Church in Sabz-Kot, District Sialkot.
Sialkot: February 8, 2008. The Muslim mob used guns, axes and sticks in an attack on Christians of village Sabz-Kot, in sub-division Pasrur of District Sialkot in Punjab. The Muslims gathered in nearby village on February 6, 2008,
after announcement in mosques, to teach lesson to infidel Christians who warned few Muslims youth to stop harassing girls after Sunday services. A group of three-five Muslims used to pass remarks and grab by force to Christian girls in open courtyard of Church on way to their homes caused unrest among village Christians.
The Christian elders complained to Muslim leaders and requested them to advise Muslim youth to stop openly drinking liquor and using drugs in common courtyard of Church and Christian homes. Mr. Basharat Masih, an elected councilor of Union Council also raised matter of drunken Muslim youth with Muslim leaders.
The Muslims, who have bought two homes in Christian neighborhood after migration of two families to other city, claimed that common courtyard is their property now and threaten to put wall on door of Church to close it from courtyard side. Muslims insisted that their youth can drink in courtyard and no one can stop them.
On February 6, 2008, Muslims gathered in village two miles from Sabz-Kot after calls from mosques and attacked Christians in broad daylight.
The first victim of attackers was John Masih, they fired shot in air and asked him to kneel down before them, on refusal, three Muslims took control over John Masih and one Muslim took his one eye out with dagger, with a slogan “ we will take out eyes of every infidel who shall dare to look straight in our eyes”
Khariat Masih came to help John Masih and he was attacked by axe who fell down with broken head, wounds in abdomen and legs.
The area Christian Councilor, Basharat Masih, rushed to defuse tension and to prevent attackers but he was brutally beaten with sticks. His mother Salima Bibi fell him to save his son Basharat Masih from attackers but she was also dragged by hair in courtyard.
Later, Muslim mob broke out doors, which have been closed in fear of attack and dragged out children, men, women and elders. In gunfire, mob disrespected women and tortured men before their families.
The police came after attack and arrested Christians instead to register any case against Muslims. The police officials later started enquiry of incident in light of a property dispute between two groups.
On intervention of senior officials, John Masih, Khariat Masih, Basharat Masih, Salima Bibi and three other were admitted in hospital. John Masih and Khariat Masih are known to be in critical condition.
Here’s another good example of not panicking and thinking quickly:

Woman Dodges Bullet (then pulls her own pistol)
http://www.abc2news.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=69113189-1eb4-418e-9154-6e2430e31ced ^ | 2-18-08 | Dustin Wadsworth
Posted on 02/18/2008 2:07:19 PM PST by Clint N. Suhks
A woman in Texas dodged a bullet during an attempted robbery and it was all caught on tape. It happened this weekend at a convenience store in Longview.
The woman was working behind the counter when a man walked in and pointed a gun at her face. The woman leaned to the right and ducked just as the man pulled the trigger.
The bullet missed her head but that’s not where the story ends. The woman grabbed her own pistol from behind the counter and pointed it at the crook. The man ran out of the store and the clerk fired a shot, but missed.
The woman was not injured and police hope the surveillance images will help them make an arrest.
Our next piece of video takes us to Saint Helena Parish, Louisiana where a tornado caused extensive damage Sunday. The twister ripped down power lines, uprooted trees, and damages several buildings.
No injuries were reported but crews have a big mess to clean up.
