They’re pissed he’s not a white racist tea-party activist. Unfortunately, he appears to be a Pakistani-born US citizen who was caught trying to board a plane to Dubai.

MSNBC idiot Contessa Brewer: I mean the thing is is that and I get frustrated and there was part of me that was hoping this was not going to be anybody with ties to any kind of Islamic country because there are a lot of people who want to use this terrorist intent to justify writing off people who believe in a certain way or come from certain countries or whose skin color is a certain way. I mean they use it as justification for really outdated bigotry.

And so there was part of me was really hoping this would not be the case that here would be somebody who is not the defined. I mean he’s accused he’s arrested you know I don’t want to convict him before it’s time to do so. He’s the guy authorities say is involved. But that being said I mean we know even in recent history you have the Haitari militia from Michigan who have plans to let’s face it create terror.

How outdated is the belief that most terrorists are Muslims of Middle-Eastern descent when this shit went just went down 3 days ago? She’s so upset that he wasn’t a white dude that she had to bring up some nutty white dudes who didn’t even DO anything in an attempt to prove that we need to be just as afraid of white dudes. Goofy chick.

Meanwhile, the utterly worthless mayor of New York City lost a quarter after the bet he placed yesterday.

“There is no credible evidence so far that this attack was more than at least one person, the driver,” said Mayor Mike Bloomberg. “After that there is no evidence that anyone else was involved. It may be, but we can’t say that it is.”…

“If I had to guess, twenty five cents, this would be exactly that,” Bloomberg said. “Homegrown maybe a mentally deranged person or someone with a political agenda that doesn’t like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.”

HE DOESN’T LIKE THE HEALTH CARE BILL OR SOMETHING. HAHAHAHAHA!

They’re willfully resistant to the idea that Islam is still a threat. The leftist elites in this country don’t deserve the blessings they’ve inherited.

Some thoughts on Joe Stack from Global Guerillas:

Here are some quick notes on Joe Stack’s violence and the acts of others (there have been many recently).  I tend to view people like Joe Stack as canaries in the coal mine — people on the margins, mentally and situationally, that fatally explode at the early onset of severe societal and economic pressure.  Here’s what’s driving them:

    * Extreme frustration/hopelessness.  A great many people have seen little to no success in the US commercial sector despite a considerable effort, for decades.  For workers below the median wage this current environment is a depression — from the duration to the rate of the un/underemployment.  Any status gain they might have achieved before this occurred is now gone.
    * Few mitigating influences.  Most of the community and familial structures that historically buffered people in the US against economic failure have been ravaged.  Even functional families are now atomized. 
    * Rage and a loss of government legitimacy.  Time worn beliefs that have underpinned the American experiment, such as the idea of a level playing field, the correlation between hard work and success, and the underlying basic fairness of our system have been savaged by the government response to the financial crisis.  Frankly, the perception of many is that Wall Street’s pros are guilty of criminal fraud and even traitorous behavior (they damaged the security and future of the US for personal benefit).  Worse, they not only avoided punishment, they were rewarded for it.

Will we see more of this violence?  Most assuredly.  Further, as this economic failure matures, damaging ever greater numbers of people, we may see less violence against people and more economic violence (disruption) in an attempt to extract from society as great a cost as they possibly can.  A couple of hundred people, using the super-empowerment afforded by network disruption, could easily cause countless billions in economic damage.  A thousand people? 

Obama on the Pantybomber

"This was a screw up that could have been disastrous," the president said during a meeting in the White House situation room, according to the White House media office. "We dodged a bullet but just barely. It was averted by brave individuals not because the system worked and that is not acceptable. While there will be a tendency for finger pointing, I will not tolerate it."

First of all, he "will not tolerate" any "finger-pointing" but he’s pointed out that it was an intelligence failure, which means he himself is pointing fingers at the CIA. Sure, the CIA fucked up, but what’s wrong with the rest of us saying so? The idiot makes no sense.

Secondly, like all liberals, he has again expressed his over-reliance and faith in a "system" rather than individuals. Liberals believe we need a new health care "system" because they don’t think individuals should be responsible for their own choices. We need security "systems" rather than creatively thinking people with good judgment. We need global "systems" of governance to control what people make and emit and buy and sell and build and burn. The strengths and abilities and God-given capacity for reason are more effective, but less governable, and therefore their exercise, even in positive ways, isn’t as desirable as a top-down infrastructure operated by ivy-league intellectuals and one-worlders.

The amazing part is that not once in human history has a centrally-controlled oligarchy produced a society based on freedom, prosperity and personal property. And yet this kind of intellectual, elitist arrogance persists.

On December 17th, 2009, President Obama issued an executive order that effectively exempted Interpol, the International Criminal Police Organization, from Constitutional limitations. The "property and assets" of Interpol are now "immune from search" and confiscation, and its archives "inviolable."

What does this mean? "This international law enforcement body now operates – now operates – on American soil beyond the reach of our own top law enforcement arm, the FBI, and is immune from Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) requests."

For an added and disturbing wrinkle, INTERPOL’s central operations office in the United States is within our own Justice Department offices. They are American law enforcement officers working under the aegis of INTERPOL within our own Justice Department. That they now operate with full diplomatic immunity and with "inviolable archives" from within our own buildings should send red flags soaring into the clouds.

One might respond to such a thing with phrases along the lines of "Holy Shit."

The linked article goes on to suggest that this is a precursor to returning the United States to the status of signatory to the International Criminal Court, probably with the purpose of allowing foreign governments to prosecute American citizens for war crimes. That’s a travesty in itself. It would subvert American sovereignty to a world government, which seems to be one of Barack Obama’s end-games. But the directly disturbing (if not terrifying) part is that the Justice Department is apparently operating side-by-side with these international bodies already, and has already figured out how to operate outside its Constitutional limits.

Some of us wonder if it’s possible that we’ll wake up one day and America-as-we-know-it will be gone. I think it’s more accurate to say it’s already gone. The framework for flipping the switch seems to be pretty much in place: a rubber-stamp Congress; international super-constitutional police forces; control of health care, industry, and financial systems; Marxist control by labor unions of the education system and the low-skilled work force; overextended military focused on wars overseas. A financial regulatory system that awards the wealthy and privileged at the expense of the lesser 99%.

I don’t know what there is that could stop it at this point.

I’m no lawyer, but the President of the United States and the Attorney General of the United States have both come out before a trial and told us that the civilian trial of KSM will result in the conviction and execution of the defendant.

Doesn’t that somehow taint the jury pool? Couldn’t the defendant claim that there’s no possible way to get a fair trial now?

Futhermore, aren’t defendants presumed innocent, and has this presumption been violated by the two highest-profile lawyers in the federal government?
