:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Critical Threats: Blank When None
Al Qaeda’s Yemen Connection, America and the Global Islamic Jihad

December 30, 2009 — The attempt to destroy Northwest Airlines flight 253 en route from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas Day underscores the growing ambition of al Qaeda's Yemen franchise, which has grown from a largely Yemeni agenda to become a player in the global Islamic jihad in the last year. Since merging with the al Qaeda franchise in Saudi Arabia last January and renaming itself Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), it has stepped up operations in Yemen itself, struck into Saudi Arabia, and now operates on the global stage. The weak Yemeni government of President Ali Abdallah Salih, which has never fully controlled the country and now faces a host of growing problems, will need significant American support to defeat AQAP.

Al Qaeda has long been active in Yemen, the original homeland of Osama bin Laden's family, and one of its first major terror attacks was conducted in Aden in 2000, when an al Qaeda cell nearly sank the USS Cole. A year ago, the al Qaeda franchises in Saudi Arabia and Yemen merged after the Saudi branch had been effectively repressed by the Saudi authorities under the leadership of Deputy Interior Minister Prince Muhammad bin Nayif. The new AQAP showed its claws last August, when it almost assassinated the prince with a suicide bomber who had passed through at least two airports on the way to his attempt on Nayif.

(snip)

The attack on the Amsterdam-Detroit flight also shows that al Qaeda remains obsessed with striking the American airline industry, a target it has gone after repeatedly since 1999. If AQAP has now been told by the al Qaeda core leadership to take on the job, we can probably assume that other al Qaeda franchises in North Africa, Iraq, Southeast Asia and elsewhere have also been pressed to attack.

From: http://www.vdare.com/sailer/080901_chicago.htm

I’m still amazed that I only found out about Rezko’s decades-long relationship with the Black Muslims last week. It showed up in the obituaries of Jabir Herbert Muhammad, the son of Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad of evil memory, whose followers assassinated his rival Malcolm X in 1966.

Jabir’s funeral was quite a success. Both current Nation of Islam boss Louis Farrakhan and The Champ, Muhammad Ali, were in attendance.

Malcolm had converted the young Cassius Clay to Elijah’s race-baiting Islamic heresy in the early 1960s. In 1964, however, Elijah excommunicated the dangerously charismatic Malcolm and installed his own son, Jabir, as Ali’s business manager. The energetic Rezko, who had arrived in Chicago from Syria in 1974, went to work for Jabir in the 1983 and was soon managing the ex-champ’s business affairs.

Rezko, sadly, was unable to make the memorial service because he’s been busy at Chicago’s Metropolitan Correctional Center since his conviction on 16 counts in June.

Slavery, Terrorism & Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat Reviewer: Forrest W. Schultz

ARABIAN WONDERLAND Dr. Jack Wheeler
Manama, Bahrain. This is a tale of a very different Arab sheikhdom from Kuwait. Let's start with drunk Saudis.
A drunk Saudi is a very amusing spectacle. Saudi Arabia is the most uptight, rigidly repressed place on the planet. What the map above doesn't show is a causeway enabling Saudis to drive to the island of Bahrain, the Arabian Wonderland, where they proceed to unrepress themselves.
Sober, Saudis are arrogant putzes sneering at American infidels. Smashed, they are still obnoxious but very friendly. They keep saying, "My friend," and talk nonstop in increasingly unintelligible English until they pass out. This upsets the hookers, for an unconscious customer, no matter how rich, is of no use to them.
Bahrain has a history as old as civilization

About the court venue, I have NO real info.

I would anticipate it to be taken out of NYC where Manning is presently.

He could try to get it on the docket of the U.S. dictrict court nearest his hometown of Red Springs, NC which is the:

United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina

Alternatively, it may have to begin in DC district court?

I do not think the Supreme Court would be applicable initially because everyone has to have the ability to appeal.

Thank you for the info ALOT.

Some info I have re: Resko and those times in Chicago:

1992 The far-leftist New Party is founded, a Marxist political coalition whose objective was to endorse and elect leftist officials, mostly Democrats. Their objective is to move the Democratic Party leftward.

1993-2004 Obama works as an associate in the Chicago Law firm of Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. In time, this job would bring him support from slum landlords like convicted felon Tony Rezco.

In 1995, Anne Hallett of the Cross City Campaign for Urban School Reform, Bill Ayers of the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Warren Chapman of the Joyce Foundation proposed the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.

1995-1999 Obama serves as the Chairman of Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), a position he receives due to Bill Ayers.
1995-2000, Ayers serves as Co-chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge’s Chicago School Reform Collaborative (CSRC), a second operating entity of the CAC.

1995-2000, Ayers serves as Co-chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge’s Consortium of Chicago Schools Research (CCSR), a third operating entity of the CAC.

1995-2002 through foundations Obama directs, Bill Ayers receives nearly 49 million dollars to fuel his socio-politically destructive radical school reform projects.

1995 Obama, along with Rev. Wright and controversial catholic priest Michael Pfleger help to organize Louis Farrakhan’s famous Million Man March in DC. It is evident that the black liberationist preachers are also Obama’s valued political allies.

2001-2002, Woods Fund with directors Ayers and Obama, made grants of $40,000 and $35,000 to the Arab American Action Network, founded by radical Rashid Khalidi. Rashid is a professor at Columbia. He was strongly identified with the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). Khalidi hosted a fundraiser for Obama in 2000.

2005 Obama purchases land at a price hundreds of thousands of dollars below the appraised price from his next-door neighbor and top political fundraiser Antoin “Tony” Rezko who is now a convicted felon and at the center of a federal investigation.

2008 The racist leader Louis Farrakhan who earlier lavished praise on Obama, “this young man is the hope of the entire world”, “America will change and be made better.” Latest remarks at Nation of Islam rally (on U-tube), says “When Obama talks the Messiah is absolutely speaking.” and “I love my BROTHER and I want to see that brother successful. I don’t want to say anything that would hurt that brother, and I don’t want them to use me or the Nation of Islam.”

April 25, 2008 (Judicial Watch) “The chairman of an Islamic “charity” shut down by the U.S. government for funding Middle Eastern terrorists has dedicated himself to raising money for … Obama.”

June 2008 Mohamed Salim Al-Churbaji - a Syrian University student serves as a fundraiser and organizer for Obama’s campaign. His father, Mohammed Al-Churbaji, is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood with close ties to such terrorists as Abu Amatallah; leading mujahideen fighters Abu Rawdha; and Bassam Ahmad, the latter fought for Osama Bin Laden!

2008 Obama is forced to cut ties with Robert Malley, his foreign policy advisor after the latter told the Times of London that he had been in regular contact with Hamas.

2008 Valerie Jarrett, Michele Obama’s boss, becomes Obama’s chief advisor. Obama doesn’t make any major decisions without first talking to her. She was born in Shiraz, Iran.

September 23, 2008 – After pouring through thousands of pages of newly released documents from archives of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, they reveal that Obama and Ayers were “partners” in a radical education program.

Rezko was an Obama fundraising front man for the powers that be at the Arab American Action Network:

The Arab American Action Network is a Chicago community center founded in 1995, the brainchild of Columbia University historian and Professor of Arab Studies Rashid Khalidi and Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs Assistant Dean Mona Khalidi.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_American_Action_Network

You know about Rashid Khalidi’s vast terrorist connections.

Rashad Hussain, Barack Obama's special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference, has run into a problem: He appears to be an Islamist. The evidence largely concerns a public statement he made six years ago, as Josh Gerstein reports in Politico
Should We Believe Rashad Hussain? by Daniel Pipes

Does Obama really need to send an envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference?

In "Pandering To The Islamic Conference" in Forbes, February 18 (thanks to Twostellas), Claudia Rosett identifies more of what's wrong with the Rashad Hussain appointment

Interesting that cities in and around Los Angeles not mentioned.

It’s too bad we are too PC to track who is committing all these violent crimes. Of course, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out, but many in this country are oblivious to the real problem(s).

“Indeed, only 15 percent of all victims of al-Qaida attacks from 2004-2008 were Westerners, according to a study conducted by West Point’s Combating Terrorism Center.”
