Suspicion about explosives in two flights to the USA
Original translation by Hermes
From Focus.De
According to information from FOCUS Online, serious incidents happened on Tuesday in two transatlantic flights to the USA from the Frankfurt airport. The two planes remained for security reasons on the ground due to the strong suspicion that explosive charges were placed in the washrooms (of the planes).
As confirmed by US Airways on Wednesday upon request, flight 703 to Philadelphia was – among others – cancelled. This was also confirmed by eyewitnesses to FOCUS Online. After having checked-in, one was told that an indefinable package was found in the washrooms of the plane”, Alberto Friedmann, a trainer of the US Martial Arts team said.
After this, the planes were taken to a remote and secured place. There the company informed the passengers on board that they were dealing with a suspicion regarding explosive charges. The passengers had to wait for 2 hours before being allowed to leave the plane. Friedman also said that he got to know from the flying company that a total of 3 flights to the USA were cancelled due to security reasons.
Suspicious person on board
The police authorities dealing with this issue did not want to answer questions, but they confirmed another incident on flight 118 of the United Airlines from Frankfurt to New York with 118 passengers and 9 crew members. The captain halted the starting procedure at about 09:30 a.m.
„The crew had suspicion that a person on board was acting in a rather suspicious way and had eventually smuggled a dangerous object into the plane”, a spokesperson said to FOCUS Online. The Federal Police then searched the entire plane taking security measures. The passengers and the baggage was checked again, and the suspicion was cleared up. The flight in question was annulled by the company, and the passengers were transferred to other flights or temporarily accommodated in hotels.
New Islamic center in former local school causing controversy

WEST BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WXYZ) – A building on the border of West Bloomfield Township and Farmington Hills is surrounded by a lot of controversy.
Eagle Elementary School belonged to the Farmington Public Schools until it was sold to the Islamic Cultural Association. That is where the controversy begins.
Attorney Erin Mersino with the Thomas More Law Center told 7 Action News there was never a “for sale” sign posted outside of the building. There were several groups interested in buying the building including a Jewish parochial school, an autistic special needs school, and the Light of the World Christian Center church.
“I was being discouraged from doing that,” said the church’s pastor Bruce Burwell. “I couldn’t understand in this economic time. The Farmington Hills School District or any school in America are under distressed times. If someone is interested in buying a building, why would they be discouraged?”
“Why would they conduct a sale of property in secret as opposed to having it in public meeting as the Attorney General’s opinion states it must be done?”

This is quite stunning. Imagine you were low man on the totem pole at a multi billion dollar entertainment corporation that employes tens of thousands of people world wide.
Now imagine that you had been working their a while as a character in a specific costume.
Now imagine that you sent a message to the head office saying that despite the conditions of your being hired, you demanded that they change the costume you are paid to wear for one you decided you wanted to wear for whatever reason and instead of them telling you to go blow yourself or ignore you altogether, not only do they get back to you in a matter of weeks but they actually say yes and allow you to modify your costume your way with a slight alteration to keep it in the character of the job and instead of being stunned by the largesse of this huge company, you sue them for not accomodating you perfectly the way you want. So in fact, that you no longer are representing them, but that they are now paying you to represent what you want to the public.
And for that you sue them.
This should be an interesting court case. As it has exactly nothing whatsoever do to with religious accommodation.

These are really good. I am surprised that these aren’t getting more views than they are. Not only is the Clinton aide topical at the moment but the fact that a former federal prosecutor would be this blunt about Muslim Brotherhood infiltration into the executive branch, but also how the current Obama admin would actually radically change US foreign policy to this degree.

WASHINGTON | Fri Aug 10, 2012 10:41pm EDT
(Reuters) – President Barack Obama on Friday called Huma Abedin, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, an “American patriot” after a group of Republican lawmakers accused her of having ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist political organization.
“She has been nothing less than extraordinary in representing our country and the democratic values that we hold dear,” Obama said at a White House Iftar dinner celebrating the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
“The American people owe her a debt of gratitude because Huma is an American patriot and an example of what we need in this country — more public servants with her sense of decency, her grace and her generosity of spirit.”

Minnesota Sheriff Reports to Congress on Growing Somalia Gang Threat in Hennepin County

(CNSNews.com) – The sheriff of Hennepin County, Minn., told the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security on Wednesday about the threat of Somali gangs in his jurisdiction.
“I have been asked to testify today about the specific emergence of Somali gang-related issues we are having in my county,” Rich Stanek said in his prepared testimony.
Stanek represented the National Sheriffs’ Association at the hearing on “America’s Evolving Gang Threat.” He also serves on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s inter-agency Threat Assessment and Coordination Group and is president of the Major County Sheriffs’ Association.
Stanek said Minnesota is a “designated U.S. Refugee Resettlement Area,” with a Somali population ranging from 80,000 to 125,000 in the state. As a result, Stanek said, while the African population in the U.S. as a whole is about four percent, 18 percent of the Minnesota population is African because of the large Somali presence.
Mit Romney’s speech in Israel
I know this happened a day or so ago, but I wanted to wait till I had time to edit together a couple of people’s views of this speech and clean up the audio for a cleaner clearer listen.
Please read Daniel Pipes’ analysis of this speech and why it is a sharp and refreshing contrast to Obama’s foreign policy strategy overall, not just with respect to Israel.
(The audio is missing for the short introduction but it is there for the whole speech. Sorry about that)
A good data point on the influence of the totalitarian impulse in the USA today
Michael Coren discusses the fall out from a couple of highly innocuous but conservative statements from the owner of a chicken joint in the US.
A couple of mayors of large cities actually stated they would block those restaurants from opening because, among other things, the owner felt that it was good if people did not cheat on their spouses. The same mayors had allowed Islamic people who were outspoken advocates of having gay people murdered. Every one of them. A “working deal with the Nation of Islam” who owns restaurants within these same cities.

Notice they didn’t ask for special clothing, to have the toilets positioned a certain way for them, to force people to eat Kosher foods that do not want it or did not request it or any other component of Jewish life or culture. Instead… they do this
This is the way to make your mark at the Olympics.
