I've been looking into one of the Iranian passengers by the name of Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad or also known as Pouria Nourmohammadi, and I find one of his Facebook comments quite disturbing, possibly code for hijacking a plane.. His comment was: “Because of some problems I will deactivate my account. Friends, seriously, if I’ve done any of you a bad turn, forgive me because maybe…” Might his "bad turn" comment be his way of telling his handlers he's on track to hijack an airplane and change its flight path? Here are some links which discuss Pouria, whose FB account...

Friday, August 27, 2004 A captured al-Qaeda operative has told Canadian intelligence investigators that a Montreal man who trained in Afghanistan alongside the 9/11 hijackers was responsible for the crash of an American Airlines flight in New York three years ago. Canadian Security Intelligence Service agents were told during five days of interviews with the source that Abderraouf Jdey, a Canadian citizen also known as Farouk the Tunisian, had downed the plane with explosives on Nov. 12, 2001. The source claimed Jdey had used his Canadian passport to board Flight 587 and "conducted a suicide mission" with a small bomb...

President Trump is putting one of America’s most unforgettable 9/11 heroes back in the national spotlight. President Trump announced that Welles Remy Crowther, the 24-year-old former Boston College lacrosse player who gave his life saving strangers inside the burning South Tower on September 11, 2001, will posthumously receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the United States. Crowther is known to history as the Man in the Red Bandana. On that terrible morning, Crowther was working as an equities trader on the 104th floor of the World Trade Center’s South Tower when United Airlines Flight 175...

there has been renewed attention on the mosque’s history and past connections to individuals linked to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The New York Post described the mosque as one of the largest Islamic centers in California and noted that it has been the subject of national attention since the early 2000s. According to the report, two of the 9/11 hijackers, Nawaf alHazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, attended the mosque while living in San Diego before the attacks. Federal investigators later examined their activities in the city and their connections to members of the local Muslim community. The mosque’s current imam,...

Previously, the Islamic Center of San Diego made headlines for its connection to Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar. Both hijackers reportedly prayed at the mosque and found an apartment nearby through advertisements at the mosque while taking flight lessons in the city. More recently, Imam Taha Hassane has come under fire for his comments on the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks. Hassane’s wife and daughter have also been under fire for inflammatory rhetoric. Selma Hassane has “promoted incitement, spread hatred of Israel, engaged in anti-Israel activism and is a supporter of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement,”...

A Man Of Memes @RickyDoggin Flashback: 911 operator hung up on a mother who called three times because her child wasn’t breathing. Later, police walked up to the console and arrested the operator. “Ma’am, step away from the console.” “Excuse me, I’m working.” “We need you to come with us.” “What is this about?” “You’re being arrested for hanging up on emergency callers.” “For what? I didn’t do anything.” “A mother called 911 three times because her child stopped breathing. You hung up on her three times.” “I just didn’t feel like working.” “You disconnected multiple emergency calls instead of...

There are a lot of bitter people in Washington now that Donald Trump is president, and probably none are more bitter than fired former FBI director, James Comey. So it's not surprising to hear that he's trying to undermine the president; he has been through various swampy means ever since his unceremonious exit from that office. He's also not wrapped very well, as I argued here, and does weird things. Now he's being investigated for a veiled death threat against President Trump. According to commentator Steve Guest: Steve Guest @SteveGuest BREAKING: Former FBI Director James Comey just posted on Instagram...

At 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 14, Ana Belen Montes, a senior analyst at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), walked into a public telephone booth outside Washington's National Zoo and made two calls to pager numbers later traced by federal agents to Cuba's Directorate of General Intelligence (DGI). She already had compromised the identities of CIA agents, revealed U.S. military secrets and exposed the contents of classified files. But, as Montes sent repeated signals to her DGI handlers during the days immediately following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and the twin towers of the World Trade Center, the ...

“For Americans who came of age before the Iranian revolution, the defining event regarding Iran was the hostage crisis of 1979-1981, in which 52 of their countrymen were held prisoner for over a year at the captured U.S. Embassy in Tehran...” “That crisis dominated news in the United States for an extended period. It even spawned a nightly television program (which became ABC Nightline)..." American children who came of age in as late as the 1970s and early 80s will likely recall the Iran of their childhood as an infamous adversary, much in the same vein as the Soviet Union,...

Wide Awake Media@wideawake_media·11hOn June 28, 2001, William Cooper—ex-naval intelligence officer and author of 'Behold a Pale Horse'—accurately predicted 9/11 months before it actually happened."Whatever is going to happen that they're going to blame on Osama bin Laden, don't you even believe it.""There's been a great awakening in this country that is gaining momentum. And so, I can tell you with a certainty, they must do something terrible in order to stop this backlash."Four months after this broadcast, Cooper was fatally shot outside his home by undercover police.Wide Awake Media @wideawake_media @grok iS tHiS tRuE?!

At the top-of-the-hour newsbreak it was reported a "material witness" being held since Sept related to the 9/11 attacks has gone missing. His lawyer has reported he has no information on the whereabouts of his client. The client has not been seen since last Wednesday morning when he appeared in NY to give testimony. He was told then, apparently, that he faced charges back in San Diego for falsifying information on his application for asylum. The suspect is a student at San Diego State University.

A banner draped over a 9/11 memorial, which was advertising a new Islamic portion of a Contra Costa County cemetery, was removed after receiving backlash. The owner of the Memorial Gardens Cemetery said he recently sold a portion of the property to an Islamic family who plans to open memorial garden. He said he gave them permission to put up signage but did not authorize them to drape it over the 9/11 installation. He ordered it to be removed as soon as he learned about it. Workers took it down just before noon, but many said it should have never...

Yes, I am going to say it-Zohran Mamdani’s wife, the First Lady of New York City, Rama Duwaji is a Jew-hating, terrorist lover. “Sure, Lisa”, you say. “Tell us something we did not yet know”. Rama, 28 year-old wife of Mayor Zohran Mamdani who is already under fire for social media posts calling Hamas’ mass raping of Israeli women a “hoax“. Side bar: does she really live with him at Gracie Mansion? Zohran was spotted at the gay bars on Halloween. Word on the street was that he was, uh, “campaigning“… The mayor said his wife’s views should not be...

Iran posed an “intolerable risk” to the U.S. with its missile threat and, during negotiations, wouldn’t accept “free nuclear fuel forever” – all of which led up to Saturday’s attack on Tehran. Senior administration officials briefed reporters on the hours leading up to “Operation Epic Fury.” One official described Iran’s missile inventory and said it posed “an intolerable risk to the United States.” The US had “indicators” that Tehran was going to launch a preemptive strike against American assets in the region, pointing to Iran’s retaliatory strikes on US bases in the region, including ones in Qatar, Kuwait, the United...

Professor defends Web siteBy GEORGE A. CHIDI, Rocky Mount Telegram Saturday, May 14, 2005 Not all of the e-mail Professor Jane Christensen has received in the last few weeks has been death threats, she said. "A lot of it is positive," said the N.C. Wesleyan College political science professor at the heart of controversy about a course criticizing the official accounts of the 9/11 attacks. "A lot of people have been very supportive." The herky-jerky revelations about Christensen's views emerged in online Web logs, also called blogs, linking back to commentary from Web sites such as Frontpagemag.org and Townhall.com,...

As the U.S. military carried out a daring operation to capture Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, a second front opened up within minutes in the United States an information warfare, psychological and propaganda operation run by a hardened cell of self-described Marxist, socialist and communist leaders. For years, this cell has fomented anti-American hate in the U.S. under the cover of "anti-war" protests, rallying activists after the 9/11 attacks to condemn the U.S. response, appropriating "anti-racism" protests after the 2020 killing of George Floyd, marching with Antifa agitators, organizing antisemitic campus encampments after the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel by Hamas...

Al-Qahtani reportedly was upset he faced murder and war crimes charges. SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - The alleged “20th hijacker” in the Sept. 11 attacks tried to kill himself at Guantanamo last month, his lawyer disclosed Tuesday, saying the Saudi prisoner was distraught over a possible death sentence for charges later dropped by the Pentagon. Mohammed al-Qahtani cut himself at least three times and had to be hospitalized at the U.S. Navy base in Cuba, attorney Gitanjali Gutierrez said. Al-Qahtani made the suicide attempt after learning military prosecutors filed capital charges against him and five other Guantanamo prisoners for their...

2025 HANUKKAH MASSACRE How will they justify it? Has the Australian Jewish community invaded Gaza or taken “innocent lives”? Of course not—because this has never been about Gaza. It has always been about the very existence of the Jewish people—everywhere and at all times. Tonight, we light the first Hanukkah candle and declare with clarity and conviction: Am Yisrael Chai — the people of Israel live.
