The EC Knows. Why Doesn’t the FBI?
Mirrored from Gates of Vienna:
Posted on by Baron Bodissey
Most of the research for the following article was conducted by our Minnesota correspondent Henrietta. I am deeply grateful for her assistance, without which the evidence described below would not be detailed here.
On New Year’s Day 2014 a powerful explosion and fire occurred at 514 Cedar Avenue South in Minneapolis, in a predominantly Somali neighborhood of the city.
The building was gutted by the blaze. Two bodies were found in the rubble, and fourteen people were hospitalized, one of whom died later. Within 72 hours, the building had been pulled down into a heap of rubble by a backhoe.
Two days after the blast, before any real investigation occurred — which could never be conducted, anyway, with the potential crime scene destroyed — Greg Boosalis, the supervisory special agent with the FBI in Minneapolis, told the press that there was “no evidence of terrorist activity”.
Ever since that day I have been asking the question: How did the FBI know there was no terrorist activity without examining the scene of the explosion?
The question becomes even more urgent with the with the emergence of the latest wrinkle in the case. According to EUR-Lex , the repository of legal documents for the European Union, the European Commission issued the following regulation back in 2002:
32002R1580
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1580/2002 of 4 September 2002 amending for the second time Council Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities associated with Usama bin Laden, the Al-Qaida network and the Taliban, and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 467/2001 Continue Reading →
Police shoot Parkinsons Service dog at child’s 9th birthday party in the USA
Police officer Officer Tarek Hassani kicked, shot and killed a Parkinson’s disease service dog at a child’s 9th Birthday party.

Interesting that the cop chose to shoot the black dog. I wonder why.
The Al-Shabaab Connection
From Gates of Vienna:
The day after last month’s explosion and fire at 514 Cedar Avenue South in Minneapolis, an FBI agent named Greg Boosalis reassured Minnesotans that there was no evidence of terrorist activity in connection with the devastating explosion.
I wondered at the time — and still wonder — how the FBI could be so certain less than forty-eight hours after the blast that no terrorism was involved. The immediate neighborhood of the demolished building is a known hotbed of terrorist activity, and is especially notorious for the recruitment of mujahideen and funds for the jihad being waged by al-Shabaab in Somalia.
As it turns out, the FBI was absolutely derelict in ruling out a terrorist connection with 514 Cedar Avenue South. Our Minnesota correspondent Henrietta has examined property and business license records for the city of Minneapolis, and found a clear trail leading from the Dar al-Hijrah Mosque to the destroyed building, and from there to a pair of convicted money-launderers for al-Shabaab.

city of Charlotte is asking for public’s help to find the person who illegally dumped chemicals into Mallard Creek.
Iranian student burned badly in fire set in his room full of incendiary devices. Feds denying he was building the things he made.
The US really is becoming an Orwellian construct. For the second time in as many months, the DHS, (or is it the FBI?) is denying that the obvious cause of this fire is the cause at all before they can possibly know.
First, look at this report from earlier today on Jihad Watch:
A short time later the report is updated:
This report actually starts with: “Investigators do not believe this (Iranian student) was trying to make a bomb” even though everyone is clear there was a bomb, in as much as a Molotov cocktail in his apartment and many containers of flammable liquids.

Guest article: Obama’s new NSA policy and its value.
Thank you Talby for taking the time to research and write this post on the significance of Obama’s new policy of reducing the criteria for NSA searches from 3 degrees of separation to 2. The article below should offer some clarity for many of us.
Eeyore
NSA HQ
There is no better illustration of meaningless surveillance reform than “3 jumps to 2” in collection of telephone metadata. What this means is, instead of the NSA tracking, collecting and indefinately storing all of the telephone metadata of every American up to “3 steps removed” from “a number associated with a terrorist organization”, President Obama has lowered this number to 2.
When one considers the wording “a number associated with a terrorist group” for a moment, it generates questions:
1. Does associated mean that that a particular phone number is up to “2 steps removed” from a ‘terrorist organization’? Or 3 steps? Or is that just vague language for anyone at all?
To illustrate how closely unrelated people are connected, we turn to a great teacher of the social sciences throughout the ages, Kevin Bacon. If one googles the phrase ‘bacon number’ following the name of an actor or actress, google will spit back at you the degrees of separation between the given performer and Kevin Bacon.
Let’s pretend for a moment then, that the NSA have ‘associated’ Mr. Bacon with ‘terrorism’. Let’s use this bacon number tool, to find out how many people in Hollywood escape NSA suspicions because of the presence of just one terrorist, that is in our hypothetical example, Kevin Bacon.

Snowden New Interview: U.S. Spy On Foreign Companies
Potential partial solution to one component of the ongoing jihad against the West.
A couple of days ago, we posted a story about a muslim who somehow accidentally got himself over a high fence and three layers of barbed wire in the middle of the night and then in the dead of a New Jersey winter, naked into a narrow drain in a security water treatment plant. The media as assured us all that he was likely just trying to get away from some bacon bits a racist left near a mosque door in a neighboring state and Mr. Mohamed is the real victim in all this. (Seriously the news really did say he was the victim!)
It has been noted that this past summer, 7 religious muslims all well schooled in biochemistry and related fields were also arrested for being in a secured area of Boston’s largest water supply reservoir. No further information has been released on these people, why they were there, what they were doing etc.
So Tundra Tabloids (Tundra T is his rapper name) has taken it upon himself to make at least a partial solution we all can use as needs be. Click read more for the TT option.
A couple of random news items from the past few months.
I just thought it was worth having a look at this story from yesterday which I called, A tard in a drain in New Jersey, and the one below from a major and apparently secure Boston water reservoir from last summer.
What is the Sailor’s Lament again? Water water all around and not a drop to drink? Suddenly has much more menacing implications doesn’t it?
NSA Official: ‘We Are Now a Police State’
H/T Richard
From CNS News:
Last year, high-ranking NSA official Bill Binney said, “We are, like, that far from a turnkey totalitarian state.” Now, Binney says that the U.S. has already become a full-blown police state.
Binney told Washington’s Blog on Wednesday that:
“The main use of the collection from these [NSA spying] programs [is] for law enforcement. [See the 2 slides below].”
“These slides give the policy of the DOJ/FBI/DEA etc. on how to use the NSA data. In fact, they instruct that none of the NSA data is referred to in courts – cause it has been acquired without a warrant.”“So, they have to do a ‘Parallel Construction’ and not tell the courts or prosecution or defense the original data used to arrest people. This I call: a ‘planned programed perjury policy’ directed by US law enforcement.”
Pop culture anti-American bias? Maybe just a touch.
Someday, if I am ever laid up with a broken leg, I might try and make a video where I grab and contrast every anti Bush joke or anti conservative joke on Family guy and compare them to any critical or mocking of the Obama admin for the 6 years they have been in power so far.
I know where the majority of the work will be.
Granted there are one or two quips about Clinton but I don’t remember too too many about Obama. Or even one actually.
Family guy like every other form of expression is certainly allowed to have its biases though and I have no real problem with that just as I hope they have no problem with anyone pointing out those biases. Fair enough, that is what freedom is after all.
But one I do find especially disturbing was a very quick few frames in a series called, ‘The Following’ on FOX. It is a 1 hour drama series about a psychotic killer who creates a cult of other psychopaths to wreak havoc and murder people in a sort of quasi-artistic fashion.
At one point, a few affiliations are mentioned that some of these killers are said to be affiliated with. I don’t remember who they are offhand, they may have been fictional. But in one episode near the end the FBI manage to seize a compound where this cult tortures and kills people, conditions other people to be merciless killers and hatches plots against the public as well as stores explosives and so on.
On the back wall of this hidden compound, there was a giant banner associated with one modern organization. A group that has no criminal history, in fact is very anti-criminal in a nice way. A group that believes in individual rights and has never killed or threatened to kill anyone.

Obama admin bungled Benghazi, could have prevented attack: report
From Washington Times:
he 2012 terrorist assault on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, involved attackers from several major international terrorist networks, according to a bipartisan Senate report released Wednesday that blames the intelligence community and the State Department — and Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens himself — for lapses.
Breaking: US establishes restricted zone around US embassy in Berlin
H/T Fjordman
Security Message for U.S. Citizens:
Establishment of a Restricted Zone in Hamburg
U.S. Embassy Berlin informs U.S. citizens that as a result of violent protests in December, the Hamburg police have established a 24/7 restricted zone covering a large area of the city of Hamburg, including the city’s nightlife area.
The restricted zone (“Gefahrengebiet”) gives police officers extra authority to stop, search, and ban people from the area. It includes the red light district of the Reeperbahn, the Old Town, St. Pauli, and Altona Nord, including the Sternschanzen area (Rote Flora district).
Police require that all persons in public areas carry their passport or “Ausweis.” If stopped without proper identification, persons may be detained by police without further justification.
