Recently, I read an article written by John Kaminski, who is a conspiracy theorist who sees a plot behind every tree. Sadly, Kaminski is an American who claims to live in a “leaky trailer” in Florida even though he is the author of several books. Obviously, the books are not selling or he could repair his trailer. Kaminski absolutely believes that the evil right-wing neo-cons carried out the attack on 9/11. He disregards the admission from bin Laden, believing it to be faked. Kaminski believes there is no threat from Islam or the Arab world at all. He feels that...

Informer told police of Spanish bomb plot By Isambard Wilkinson in Madrid (Filed: 25/04/2005) A political row over the al-Qa'eda train bombings in Madrid was rekindled yesterday after it emerged that a police informer had issued a warning three months before that Islamist terrorists were plotting the massacre. The Socialist government of Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, which came to power three days after the attacks, accused its centre-Right predecessor of "lies" and a "monumental lack of foresight" after the information emerged when security services documents were made public by the judge in charge of the case, Juan del Olmo. The...

Three Israeli Arabs from north Jerusalem, members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), have been arrested for plotting to murder Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, spiritual mentor of the Shas Party and one of the great Torah scholars of this generation. One of the conspirators, Mussa Darwish, 22, a resident of Issawiya, a north Jerusalem neighborhood, became familiar with the location of the rabbi’s home, while working as a delivery boy for a grocery store in the Jewish neighborhood of Givat Shaul. Darwish, who according to security sources, came up with the idea to kill the elderly rabbi,...

Murderer who planned to contaminate toothbrushes and face cream was allowed to slip through immigration netAN AL-QAEDA terrorist who planned to create mass panic with a chemical attack could have been deported as an illegal immigrant six months before he stabbed a police officer to death. Kamel Bourgass, a failed asylum-seeker who plotted to smear car door handles and contaminate toiletries, including Nivea face cream, and toothbrushes in shops with ricin, had been arrested in East London for shoplifting in 2002. He was reported to the immigration authorities but no enforcement officer was available to interview him or take him...

NEW YORK - Two 16-year-old girls living in New York have been detained since last month on immigration violations amid concerns they were potential recruits for a suicide bomb plot that never materialized, officials said Thursday. The girls — one from Bangladesh, one from Guinea — were picked up by authorities on March 24 and put in a detention center, the officials said. Details about the case, first reported Thursday by The New York Times, were sketchy, and a supporter of one of the girls claimed the accusations were false. The Times cited a government document that said the FBI...

Details emerged Thursday of a foiled plot by two St. John, New Brunswick, teenagers to blow up their high school and kill teachers and students they disliked. The two boys, 16 and 17, were arrested Monday, and each have appeared separately in court, but details weren't disclosed until Thursday when the school principal and police called an assembly to explain what had happened. Police said the plot was uncovered when two other students overheard a conversation and told the school's principal, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported. Police said the students had what appeared to be black gunpowder and a lead...

An American citizen trained by the Saudi government in Virginia will stand trial for plotting to assassinate the president of the United States and yet the media focus on allegations of torture? For a free people in the age of terrorism, what is the proper balance between civil liberties and national security? This debate wracks every Western country. Looking at the United States, the "united we stand" solidarity that followed September 11, 2001, lasted just some months, after which a much deeper divide emerged as conservatives proved far more profoundly affected by the atrocities than did liberals. The result has...

London 24.02.05 | The image of failed coupster Hugo Chavez is taking a proper battering these days. For the first time since his ascent to Venezuela's presidency some of the world's most powerful media outlets have been publishing articles that show a reality heretofore thought to be gross exaggerations or desperate ranting of a dislocated opposition. We have been denouncing the authoritarian streaks of lieutenant colonel Chavez to no avail. Things are changing though. The capture in Venezuela of Peru's official security apparatus boss Wladimiro Montesinos was taken very lightly by the international community. It was considered an isolated event....

Feb 22, 10:51 AM (ET) By MATTHEW BARAKAT ALEXANDRIA, Va.

More than 20 years after the AIDS epidemic arrived in the United States, a significant proportion of African Americans embrace the theory that government scientists created the disease to control or wipe out their communities, according to a study released today by Rand Corp. and Oregon State University. That belief markedly hurts efforts to prevent the spread of the disease among black Americans, the study's authors and activists said. African Americans represent 13 percent of the U.S. population, according to Census Bureau figures, yet they account for 50 percent of new HIV infections in the nation, according to the Centers...

"The Government had to choose between war and shame. They chose shame. They will get war too." -Churchill The grotesque Granda case would seem to be the cause of our problem with Venezuela in the same way that the war of independence would have been due to the insolence with which the chapeton refused to lend the flower vase to the party to honor Antonio Villavicencio. ... From the Ministry of Interior and Justice we warned that the key to our relationship with Chavez could be found in the Sao Paulo Forum, and in the communist conspiracy that was being...

Soldiers in 'anti-US plot' held by Kuwait By Robin Gedye, Foreign Affairs Writer (Filed: 15/01/2005) US-Kuwaiti military exercises are under review after the arrest of eight Kuwaiti soldiers, five of them officers, on suspicion of planning attacks against US troops, according to senior Kuwaiti officials. The arrests were followed this week by the death of a terrorist linked to al-Qa'eda during a gun battle in which two police officers died, and the subsequent detention of 30 terrorist suspects in a series of police raids. At least two of the soldiers are to be court martialled amid allegations that they planned...

Freelance journalist Kevin Sites was just another guy trying to make his way in the business until the battle of Fallujah. While accompanying US marines into a mosque, Sites filmed a marine shooting a prostrate terrorist lying in the mosque, then crassly pronouncing him dead. As the pictures made their way around the world, millions of anti-US voices rang up angrily denouncing the Marines for committing "war crimes." Overnight, Sites became an international star. Everyone wanted to read the Left's dazzling Johnny-on-the-Spot and all "right-thinking" people pronounced him a professional upholding the highest standards of journalism. Heady stuff for a...

TRENTON -- The alleged gunman who was cut in half by an enraged father’s SUV Sunday was an escapee from an East Orange halfway house, police said yesterday. Police confirmed the identity of the dead suspect as Jose Alvarez, of Trenton, who would have celebrated his 20th birthday yesterday. Police said Alvarez was mowed down by Robert O’Neal, 54, in his Dodge Durango Sunday night, following an alleged robbery, shooting and car chase that ended with Alvarez killed along a southbound lane of Route 29. The identity of the dead suspect was just one of the new details which emerged...

Terrorist plot in Tennessee foiled Federal authorities arrested an Iraqi-born Nashville resident on illegal weapons charges. It was after a sting operation that was set up when Ahmed Al-Uqaily (AH'-mad HAH'-sahn al YOO'-quay-lee) told an acquaintance he wanted to "go Jihad" over the war in Iraq. FBI terrorism agents arrested the 33-year-old Al-Uquaily after he took possession of two disassembled machine guns, four disassembled hand grenades and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. Court documents show Al-Uqaily also was interested in getting missiles used to disable tanks. Authorities said he expressed animosity toward the Jewish community, but did not give specific...
