An ISIS aircraft mechanic caught trying to disable the same system that brought down two other 737s?
American Thinker ^ | September 19, 2019 | Monica Showalter

Posted on 09/20/2019 6:26:45 AM PDT by george76

quite disturbing to learn that, contrary to what the press had .. assured us about a supposedly disgruntled aircraft mechanic who got caught trying to disable a Boeing 737, the guy had ISIS video on his cell phone.

...

Doesn't everyone with labor beefs against his boss have ISIS video murders on his cell phone?

...

Abdul-Majeed Marouf Ahmed Alani might just have been motivated by ISIS's brand of Islamism, not a woikin' man's desire for more overtime.

The gullible media reported it otherwise, always eager to look the other way on Islamist terror.

...

Alani's phone also had a news story about a plane crash in Indonesia last year, with specific information about the plane's airspeed control system. The same thing he was caught tampering with.

This rather raises the question of whether those aircraft were also disabled in this manner — one in Ethiopia, the other in Indonesia, both of which have suffered from Islamist terror or been in the vicinity of it.

The two crashes not only killed hundreds of innocent people, but also wrought havoc on the airline industry, with some airlines having to ground planes, and sent Boeing's stock into a tizzy, cutting it 15% after the crashes, and wrought havoc with its orders.

...

likely that he or his confederates might have engineered those 737 crashes of the past year as terrorist-admiring aircraft mechanics.

...

the issue of tampering by malevolent insiders is a distinct possibility. And it must be investigated, because the lawmen have caught one of them in the act.

...

It's seems to be a case for reopening these aircraft crash cases, doing intensive background checks on the mechanics who worked on these aircraft, and looking for evidence on the dark net of this kind of "inspiration" getting around.

Try that and see where it gets you. Unless you are reporting your neighbor for having a gun.

According to their Book, it is the duty of every muslin to convert or kill the infidel. I do not know how that could be made to be any clearer, or plainer.

So true. What we actually have is a war on our own people disguised by a war on terror. It’s all about money and control...

War is a matter of survival, and when that happens, common sense and practicality is used. Nothing about our “war on terror” actually shows any semblance of common sense any longer.

The Koranic Cockroaches have a DIY App (cackle)

.....a supposedly disgruntled aircraft mechanic trying to disable Boeing 737 had ISIS video on his cell phone.
Alani's phone had a news story about an Indonesian plane crash, with specific information about the plane's
airspeed control system. The same thing he was caught tampering with.

The Muzzie actually got a job with a gullible American Airlines.

Abdul-Majeed Marouf Ahmed Alani might just have been motivated by ISIS's brand of Islamism,
not a workin' man's desire for more overtime....as he put it.

The Koranic Cockroaches lie with practiced ease......when caught, he said he "didnt want to hurt anybody."

Oh sure, everyone with labor beefs against his boss has ISIS video murders on his cell phone.

Suspected Hezbollah spy scouted targets in New York, other major cities: prosecutors
Fox news ^ | 9/19/2019 | melissa leon/ FR Posted by bitt

A New Jersey man is accused of being a secret Hezbollah operative in the United States for more than a decade, surveiling potential attack sites in New York City, Boston and Washington, prosecutors said Thursday.

Alexei Saab, 42, from Morristown, was charged under a nine-count indictment in connection with a range of alleged terror activities. They included providing material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization (FTO) and receiving military-style training from that group, the Justice Department said.

“Even though Saab was a naturalized American citizen, his true allegiance was to Hezbollah, the terrorist organization responsible for decades of terrorist attacks that have killed hundreds, including U.S. citizens and military personnel,” U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said. “Thankfully, Saab is now in federal custody and faces significant prison time for his alleged crimes.”

Saab allegedly surveiled dozens of locations throughout New York City, including the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, the Statue of Liberty, Times Square and United Nations headquarters, prosecutors said.

He also scouted various bridges, tunnels and airports, specifically focusing on “the structural weaknesses of locations he surveiled in order to determine how a future attack could cause the most destruction,” the Justice Department said.

The FBI will have no clue what motivated him to kill all those people.

The deep state is alive and well. They will gladly put the blame on Boeing or workplace violence instead of terrorism. And their justification is not to protect the American people.

Who would suspect someone of doing something like this after 30 yrs?

When your lukewarm Christian neighbor really "gets religion" he starts reading the Bible and talking about Jesus.

When your lukewarm Jewish neighbor really "gets religion" he starts honoring the Sabbath and keeping kosher.

When your lukewarm Moslem neighbor really "gets religion", he screams blasphemies in Arabic and tries to kill the infidels.

I’m not an aeronautics expert.

That said, the 737 Max is reported to have had a difficult-to-override system that depends critically on correct velocity readings. Further, that system wasn’t very robust.

I don’t know if an ordinary 737 has that.

Also, I seem to remember that one of the MAX crashes—I think it was the one in Indonesia, had some history on the airplane. The flight before ran into difficulty, and said the sensors weren’t right. The maintenance of them appears to have been questionable, and I don’t think the pilots on the doomed flight knew the history. Sabotage? Maybe, but probably not—it sounds like the 737 Max was an accident waiting to happen.

“could have been due to sabotage and not Boeings mechanical mistakes?”

Nah. Boeing screwed the pooch.

The Muzzie dingbat in DC---Cong Ilhan Omar:
"We are dismantling all systems of oppression.....we’re the party of love, the party of compassion.”

Omar's "party of love and compassion" left its calling card on 911.

==============================================

Ever wonder why the Koranic Cockroaches announced their American agenda at the WTC on 9/11 with great fanfare?
But waited till now to begin implanting their poison in the US govt?

It's the diseased Muzzie mind at work-----they're now engaged in triumphalism---- celebrating 9/11.

Well-known terrorists confer on possible targets?

NEWS STORY: Islamist Candidate Khurrum Wahid Comes in Third at Florida Elections
Frontpage Mag ^ | 06/24/2019 | Joe Kauffman / FR Posted by SeekAndFind

On June 18th, over 7300 voters in Coral Springs, Florida went to the polls in a Special Election to cast their votes for the individual they wanted as their new City Commissioner. The former Commissioner, Dan Daley, left the seat vacant, after he won his own Special Election, for Florida State House. Out of the six candidates in the Commission race, one, Khurrum Wahid, raised far more money than any of the others. But for many voters, Wahid, a terror-linked lawyer, represented a danger to society, and therefore, he was soundly rejected.

Khurrum Basir Wahid, a South Florida attorney, has made a name for himself by representing high-profile terrorists, including the most violent of al-Qaeda operatives. And while Wahid has every right to act as legal counsel to such miscreants, when viewing the rest of his terror-related and disturbing activity, it would be a grave error not to view Wahid as a threat as well.

One of Wahid’s former clients is Hafiz Khan, a Miami imam who received a 25-year prison sentence, in August 2013, for his role in shipping $50 thousand to the Pakistani Taliban for the specific goal of murdering American troops overseas. Khan was not the only individual charged in the crime. His son, Izhar, spent 20 months in a Miami federal detention center for his alleged participation in the terror financing scheme.

As stated by the US Justice Department, “Izhar is a Pakistani Taliban sympathizer who worked with [his father Hafiz] and others to collect and deliver money for the Pakistani Taliban… Izhar… provided and attempted to provide material support and resources… knowing and intending that they be used in preparation for and in carrying out… a conspiracy to murder, kidnap, and maim persons in a foreign country.”

While using his law firm to actively raise money for Izhar and his father, Wahid went out of his way to label Izhar a “rising star.” Also, according to the Miami New Times, Wahid said of Izhar that he was a “sweet kid who did his father’s bidding.” In this same New Times piece, it is reported that Wahid, himself, was placed on the federal terrorist watch list, in 2011.

Besides his work as an attorney, Wahid is the National Co-Chairman of Emgage Action (formerly Emerge USA), an Islamist group he founded in 2006 that attempts to pass its extremist agenda off as political advocacy. The group is part of the South Florida Muslim Federation, a consortium of South Florida’s radical Islamic organizations and terror-related mosques.

Emgage tends to attract leaders of the Democratic Party, who see Emgage as an opportunity to pander for Muslim votes and close their eyes to the extreme nature of the group. Under Wahid’s authority sits Ammar Ahmed, the South Florida Director of Emgage. In February 2010, following a debate he participated in at a school, Ahmed wrote on Facebook, “I hate white people” and joked that he “should have threatened to blow up the school.”

Prior to creating Emgage, Wahid served as a legal advisor for the national office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and a director of CAIR’s Florida chapter. According to the US government, CAIR has both financial and foundational ties to Hamas.

Various CAIR representatives have served prison time and/or have been deported from the US for terrorist-related activity. In November 2014, CAIR was designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government. The mosque Wahid attends is the Islamic Foundation of South Florida (IFSF). Wahid is also the Registered Agent for IFSF’s corporation.

Up until recently, the Youth Group leader for IFSF was Abdur Rahman al-Ghani, an individual who says on his Facebook page that Jews are “demonic” and Islam “will over-take the World.” In June 2013, IFSF hosted a Ramadan Prep Youth Night featuring Izhar Khan, and in April 2014, IFSF hosted a talk by Mazen Mokhtar, a former administrator for the al-Qaeda recruitment site, qoqaz.net (Jihad in Chechnya), and who has called Hamas acts “heroic” and suicide bombings “an effective method of attacking the enemy.”

It is through Wahid’s engagement in politics, via his Emgage organization, that Wahid probably believed that he had a shot to win the vacant Commission seat. However, any voter looking into Wahid’s extremist and terror-tied background would surely have questions about Wahid’s true intentions in running for such an office – in running for any office.

What is indeed concerning, though, is that just short of 1400 Coral Springs voters thought highly enough of Wahid to give him their votes, putting him squarely in third place. That was well behind the 2553 votes the winner, Sean Cerra, received, but it was 1400 votes nonetheless. Either those voters were ignorant of Wahid’s sordid history or they disturbingly chose to ignore it.

Beyond Wahid and his fellow Islamists, any vote for him would be aiding and abetting extremist activity. A vote for Wahid was and is a vote for terror.

Beila Rabinowitz, Director of Militant Islam Monitor, contributed to this report
