And just in time to deflect criticism for declaring returning veterans as potential domestic terrorist threats!



Massachusetts state police arrested a Marine on Sunday morning that was trying to bring bomb-making materials onto a flight headed for Charlotte. Officials say Cpl. Justin Reed, of Jacksonville, N.C., was booked on US Airways Flight 877 to Charlotte. The 22-year-old arrived in Boston on a flight from Las Vegas.

Screeners say they found the bomb-making materials and a gun and ammunition in his checked baggage. Reed was charged with possession of an infernal machine and possession of a concealed weapon in a secure area of an airport.

Mistero Risolto

Ex Presidente della Repubblica Francesco Cossiga, che ha rivelato l'esistenza di Operazione Gladio, ha detto più antica d'Italia e più leggere il giornale che gli attacchi terroristici sono stati 9-11 gestito dalla CIA e del Mossad, e che questo era comune la conoscenza a livello mondiale tra le agenzie di intelligence . In cosa si traduce in inglese goffamente, Cossiga ha detto il quotidiano Corriere della Sera:

"Tutti i [servizi] d'America e l'Europa ... sa bene che il disastroso attentato è stato pianificato e realizzato dal Mossad con l'aiuto del mondo sionista per mettere sotto accusa i paesi arabi e per indurre occidentali il potere di prendere parte in Iraq ... [e] l'Afghanistan ".

IT IS NONE OF TSA'S @#$%ING BUSINESS HOW MUCH CASH WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES CHOOSE TO CARRY AND WHY. How DARE you to presume to tell us what we should or should not do. That is not your job. Your job is to find bombs, and according to DHS' own tests you fail at that 50% of the time. Your job is to find terrorists, not terrorize the people when no real threats can be found anywhere.

Until you learn how to actually do the job you are supposed to do (and learn now to inspect a laptop without destroying it) stop covering up for your feelings of inadequacy with arrogance and remember who the hell it is pays your salaries.

TSA are thugs. The audio tape proves it. This attempt to blame the victim because he doesn't carry money the way you might chose to proves it. If you do not want the image of being thugs STOP ACTING LIKE IT.

Danged City Fellas

At least four tons of fertilizer was stolen over the weekend in Frederick, city police said. No motive had been determined.

A ton of urea and three tons of other fertilizer were taken from the Southern States store on South Street between Saturday night and Sunday morning, police said.

According to police, the fertilizer was contained for the most part in white 50-pound bags with a company logo.

Fertilizer thefts have attracted increased attention from law enforcement officials in recent years because some types of fertilizer can be used in making explosives. It was not immediately clear whether the materials taken could be used for such a purpose.

Lt. Clark Pennington said police have notified the FBI. As a matter of routine, a report of the theft was sent to a state coordinating center, which is to notify all interested federal agencies. He said detectives would work closely with those agencies in the inquiry, which was in its early stages.

America's Mixed Up Military

American Scofflaw
U.S. Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C., has introduced legislation that would impose fines or prison time on presidents or executive-branch officials who "knowingly and willfully" mislead Congress to gain authorization to use U.S. military forces.

Jones, who has repeatedly and publicly regretted his vote to support the war in Iraq, said that he doesn't know how far the Executive Accountability Act of 2009 will get when it comes to gaining passage. But even if all the bill gets is a springtime hearing in the House Judiciary Committee, Jones says, he thinks that is progress.

"We're saying, 'Mr. President, be sure,'" Jones said in an interview. "Be sure that if you are going to ask us to commit our boys and girls to risk their lives, that all the facts are on the table. ... Make sure there are no questions. ... Mr. President, you better be sure."

Jones' 3rd District is dotted with military bases, including Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point in Havelock and Camp Lejeune and New River in Jacksonville. He thinks of the young men and women serving on those bases and others, he said.

And he rejects the notion that a bill requiring the president to tell the truth about a potential war is an extreme measure.

"The Constitution says that the Congress shall declare war ... but the Congress has been neutered," he said.

Jones said his decision to support the Executive Accountability Act is based on history. But it was the Clinton administration, not that of former President George W. Bush, that Jones discussed in the next breath.

In April 1999, Jones and about 15 other legislators filed a federal lawsuit opposing former President Bill Clinton's decision to commit troops to Kosovo.

The lawsuit "never went past the filing stage," Jones said

The Executive Accountability Act was introduced last week and is co-sponsored by Rep. Neil Abercrombie, a Democrat from Hawaii. If passed, the act would apply only to current and future presidential administrations and executive branches.

The act calls for fines or up to 10 years in prison for leaders found guilty of misleading Congress in order to get authorization to go to war.

The five-year statute of limitations on prosecuting any such crime would not begin until the end the presidential term during which the alleged crime happened, according to the legislation.

Jones invoked the words of Abraham Lincoln to explain his own reasoning for supporting the legislation.

"Lincoln famously said, 'I have faith in the people. ... The danger is, they are misled. Let them know the truth and the country is safe,'" Jones said. "Our country is safest when the people and their elected representatives in the U.S. Congress can make decisions based on hard evidence and facts."

Crap On Them

Elite members of the World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos, Switzerland, recently considered a proposal for a new global television network to usher in a state of “global governance.” The concept strikes some as authoritarian, even totalitarian. But the parent company of Fox News was one of the sponsors of this year's gathering.

The media proposal, which was included in “The Global Agenda 2009” report, is to create “a new global network” with “the capacity to connect the world, bridging cultures and peoples, and telling us who we are and what we mean to each other.” Several prominent U.S. media figures signed on to the alarming and controversial proposal.

Isn’t it nice that we might have a TV network telling us “who we are?” And “what we mean to each other?” Perhaps we will learn that we are global citizens. Perhaps a global leader of some sort will tell us that. Who might that be?
