A Britisher's View - JFK Plot is Work of a Unified Terror Mindset

From Brigitte Gabriel:
A Britisher's View - JFK Plot is Work of a Unified Terror Mindset
An article by Shavana Abruzzo

It comes as no surprise that the three suspects arrested in connection with the plot to blow up JFK Airport are tied to a Caribbean group, whose evil sheep are largely black converts to Sunni Islam. More and more members of the globe's disenchanted black communities appear to have found bliss and confirmation in the world's fastest-growing religion, fattening its rolls to more than one billion, and giving more fodder and tinder to its radical sector.

Indeed, the ties between radical Islam and African Americans stretch back decades. In 1985, Libyan dictator-turned-sneaky-mouse Muammar Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi gave a five-million-dollar loan to self-professed anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan and his Nation of Islam gang. In the years that followed, while New York City licked its wounds and weathered the racial woes exacerbated by the likes of Farrakhan, the relationship between him and al-Gaddafi appeared to flourish with the thug pledging the tyrant one billion dollars, back in 1996, if he could stir up a civil war in the United States. The feds squashed that plan, promptly. Yet, upon his 2002 visit to Iraq, the cancer-riddled and still bombastic Farrakhan proudly pronounced, "the Muslim American people are praying to the almighty God to grant victory to Iraq."

The arrests of Russell Defreitas in New York, and former Guyanese politician Abdul Kadir and Trinidadian KareemIbrahim in Trinidad, are proof enough that America's enemies are not limited to Osama bin Ladin and al Qaeda. Like cockroaches, new and insidious terror cells are multiplying on the ground and in cyber space, swelling their ranks with haters of the Free World, and gaining the admiration and sponsorship of rogue Middle East nations.

Yet, whatever part of the world these groups and their cowardly co-horts hail from - America, Great Britain, France, Iran, Iraq, Guyana, Indonesia, Spain, Yemen, Iraq, etc., ad nauseum - they possess an unmitigated common denominator: they are all Muslims. They are willing to cause untold death and destruction - just for the sake of it. They are chomping at the bit to kill innocent men, women and children - just for the sake of it. They are dying to die because, ultimately, their version of Islam affords them no life. They are further emboldened by a terrified liberal front, which is content to hurl misplaced blame at those very progressive societies that have replaced their barbaric histories with the reason, logic and compassion that have now become their Achilles heel.

It is that same liberal front, which refuses to condemn Islamic terrorists, instead seeking sycophantic refuge in the ingratiation of our enemies.

With Muslim terror cells snuggled and prepped to activate wherever and whenever across the globe - their nuclear ambitions waiting to be realized on the Internet, thanks to the free enterprise of exiled Pakistani nuke bandit A. Q. Khan - it has become clear that our foes comprise a rainbow coalition of wickedness. It is also clear that mainstream Muslims are the only ones capable of harnessing their terrorist brothers and sisters. Theirs is an insular community, which is privy to - if not a part of - their radical elements.

Yet, with each new act of terror and each foiled attempt, it is obvious that mainstream Muslims are not interested in stemming the terror. They are busy beating the same old drum as they request more tolerance and immunity from a depleted world.

Sure enough, the industrialized community is finally beginning to lash out with CondeNast International Chairman Jonathan Newhouse furiously rejecting, last week, a proposal to print an Islamic version of "Vogue" in the Middle East because of that region's "violent elements." The rest of us can thank our lucky stars that American authorities are on the job - 24 hours a day, seven days week, 365 days a year. Thanks to their vigilance, Muslim hoodlums, such as Russell Defreitas, Abdul Kadir and Kareem Ibrahim are in custody, while the hunt continues for their partners in crime.

In the meantime, Islam's mainstream followers - the ones, who dissociate themselves from the zealots by practicing gall - fail to realize that the infection of terrorism has become such an epidemic that it is only a matter of time before the Free World holds a global convention on Islam to unearth its countless layers and lairs of sub-human, ticking timebombs.


Layers and Lairs. Thanks Brigitte for the timely and and somewhat terrifying article.

Iran says could reveal new "nuclear achievements"


Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spews forth more of the same:

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran will announce unspecified new "nuclear achievements" if the United Nations takes fresh steps against it over its disputed atomic program,
The announcement prompted the United States to say it was likely the U.N. Security Council would impose further penalties against Tehran.

In Iran's first public reaction to the U.S. warning, Ahmadinejad had earlier accused world powers of using international organizations like the U.N. for their own ends and said Iran would not give up its right to nuclear technology.

"The Iranian nation will stand up for its legal right and will not retreat even one iota to preserve its nuclear right," Ahmadinejad said in a televised speech to a rally in the central Iranian city of Shiraz.

The crowd chanted "Death to America," and "Nuclear technology is our right." Click to read more...


What new "Nuclear Achievements" can there be besides mutant scientists or mushroom clouds?

What if terrorists destroy Washington?


The LA Times Contemplates:

THE NEWS MEDIA, politicians and observers are scrambling to speculate on how Sen. Tim Johnson's (D-S.D.) medical emergency might change the composition of the Senate. But if the health of just 1% of one-half of one of the federal government's three branches can cause this much concern, what might happen in a real emergency?



Specifically, imagine how the United States would react — or not — if terrorists succeeded in destroying Washington and, with it, all or most of the government. Chillingly, the Senate, which generated so much speculation this week, is actually in a better position to resume functioning than the other branches.


Under the 17th Amendment (which, in 1913, changed the way senators are elected), state legislatures may authorize governors to fill Senate vacancies on an interim basis, pending a special election to fill out the term. All that would be required is a statute redefining vacancies to include cases in which a senator is unable to cast a ballot because of a long-term disability. The rules should, of course, be careful to respect senators' rights to a full medical determination of their condition.


With that statute in place, a terrorist attack leading to mass incapacitation wouldn't generate institutional paralysis. We would see a new Senate rise from the ashes, with a political balance broadly representative of the nation.


This isn't true of the House or the presidency. Under present House rules enacted in 2005, a tiny number of survivors could exercise power for months, even if they were formerly from the minority party. Moreover, their newly elected speaker could succeed to the presidency if an attack took both the president and vice president.


Worse yet, the constitutional status of the speaker-turned-president would be problematic. The Constitution says a majority of each house "shall constitute a quorum to do business." It is a fair question whether the existing House rules, granting a rump the power to legislate after a terrorist attack, conform to this requirement.


Under ordinary circumstances, we'd leave a question like that to the courts, but what if the Supreme Court were also swept away? Under existing law, the president has the power to give justices recess appointments that expire at the end of the congressional session. The acting president could well be in a position to pack the very court that would judge his or her own status.


In our dangerous new world, it seems foolhardy to ignore these obvious risks. But during the five long years since Sept. 11, the leaders of the three branches of government have not been disposed to take their own mortality seriously. There have been a number of serious efforts to propose solutions to the succession problem. But there has been no serious effort by Congress or the president to enact a comprehensive package into law.


Everybody wishes Sen. Johnson a quick recovery. But the structural problems dramatized by his illness won't go away. And the political stakes may well be much greater the next time around.

Hmm..That's funny! Not the prospect of losing Washington to a terrorist attack. What's funny is the idea that the liberal media doesn't think about that prospect in terms of a real enemy out to impose Islamic rule on the world but within the framework of losing a Senate seat because of an ailing senator. My best advice to our liberal friends is to stop appearing to collaborate with and encouraging our enemies.

Ahmadinejah tells West, Follow God or Vanish

ahmadinejah
Ahmadinejah warns us once again that his intention is to have us convert to islam or die. As per his own words, there are no other choices. Still we don't listen to what our enemies tell us over and over and over again.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has warned Western leaders to follow the path of God or "vanish from the face of the earth".

AGAIN!


"These oppressive countries are angry with us ... a nation that on the other side of the globe has risen up and proved the shallowness of their power," Ahmadinejad said in a speech in the northern town of Ramsar, the semi-official news agency Mehr reported Wednesday.


"They are angry with our nation. But we tell them 'so be it and die from this anger'. Rest assured that if you do not respond to the divine call, you will die soon and vanish from the face of the earth," he said.

Ahm'a-mad-jihad goes on to inform us that his regime is on course to fully master nuclear technology.

"Thank to God's help, we have gone all the way and are only one step away from the zenith.


"We hope to have the big nuclear celebration by the end of the year (March 2007)," Ahmadinejad said, echoing comments he has made on numerous occasions in recent months.

I suppose the celebration would be in anticipation of the return of the 12th Iman.

A defiant Iran has refused to suspend its uranium enrichment work, a process that the West fears could be extended to make nuclear weapons.


Iran however insists its nuclear programme is solely aimed at generating energy.


France's Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy said Wednesday after a Paris meeting on Tehran's nuclear programme that the UN Security Council is agreed "there will be sanctions" on Iran, though their extent is yet to be decided.
source


In the immediate aftermath of the release and mega-American media jihad against America using as a weapon the Iraq Study Group Report, Ahamadinejah reiterates his threats to destroy the West. He's delivered this message a number of times. He even wrote us all a letter explaining it to us. It is noteworthy that these warnings are part of his religious requirements prior to doing whatever it is he is going to do.

It speaks volumes that in the aftermath of this political play by the our enemies within that the FRENCH are having to speak out in support of sanctions against Tehran. Is this what we've come to?

None of this is new. It just has to be repeated because we refuse to listen. This all makes sense when you understand who Ahmadinejah is and what his belief system is. In his religious paradigm it is his destiny to assist with the coming of the 12th Iman.

He will only return after a period of utter chaos and bloodshed, whereupon peace, justice and Islam will reign worldwide.


Ahmadinejah is certainly doing his part to create utter chaos and bloodshed with his assistance with insurgency and weapons in Iraq and Lebanon.

This is the man that the insufferable, arrogant and smug Baker and Hamilton recommend we negotiate with for peace.

I pray our President does not bend to the increasing pressure.

Was ex-spy trying to sell dirty bomb?


The plot sickens...

The radiation spy scandal took a sensational twist last night with the revelation that KGB defector Alexander Litvinenko had converted to Islam before he died.


Scotland Yard detectives are now trying to discover if he had any secret links with Islamic extremist terror groups.


Their biggest fear is that the former Soviet spy, who died of polonium-210 poisoning in a London hospital, may have been helping Al Qaeda terrorists or other extremist groups get hold of radioactive material to be used in a devastating “dirty” atom bomb.


The news comes on top of a claim by Litvinenko’s friend Mario Scaramella that the former spy helped smuggle radioactive material from Russia to Switzerland in 2000.


Litvinenko’s sympathies with Chechen rebels, seeking to break away from Moscow and create an independent Muslim state, are well known.


And when Chechen rebels were blamed for a massive bomb attack in 1999 that destroyed a Moscow block of flats with the loss of 400 lives, Litvinenko enraged Russian President Vladimir Putin with his claim that the Russian leader himself ordered the attack in a bid to damage the Chechen cause.


Counterterrorism officers will now be scrutinising any possible Muslim links which could have assisted Al Qaeda’s avowed aim to detonate a radioactive bomb in America or Britain.


Litvinenko’s conversion to Islam was a closely guarded secret and came as a complete shock to his close Russian friends in Britain.


The shock admission came from his next-door neighbour, moderate Muslim and Chechen dissident Akhmed Zakayev, who revealed: “He was read to from the Koran the day before he died and told his wife that he wanted to be buried in accordance with Muslim tradition.”


Despite the claim, a statement written by Litvinenko shortly before he died referred to “God”, not “Allah” and said he could hear the beating of angel’s wings, leading most people to infer he was a Christian.

This one almost got by me...in my sadness at the death of a former spy supposedly at the orders of Vladimir Putin I forgot that Litvinenko was first a spy and secondly probably acted like a spy to the end. And why wouldn't a high-level espionage agent, Chechen sympathizer and possible convert to Islam end up poisoning himself in an attempt to help with a British or American Hiroshima?

If this rumour holds true then it is closer than we think...

Al Qaida Attempts to Lay Hands on Nuclear Weapons

The Answer To The Al Qaida Nuke Problem

Being reported in Bulgaria:

Al Qaida and other Islamic extremists want to acquire chemical or radiological weapons in order to attack a Western country, a senior British official has said on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of his work.


Britain's Foreign Office has evidence that terrorist groups have attempted to purchase chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear materials, the official has said.


The warning comes after last week MI5's head Eliza Manningham-Buller said the authorities have identified 30 major terrorist plots being devised in the UK and involving over 1,600 individuals.


"We know the aspiration is there, we know the efforts to get the materials are there, we know the efforts to get the technology are there", a spokesperson of Britain's Foreign Office said.


The senior official said that an attack with radiological or chemical weapons would be based on unsophisticated technology and would cause mass panic rather than mass casualties.


The official added that Britain's Foreign Office is more concerned about legitimate substances and biological weapons that could be used to create weapons such as anthrax or smallpox.


Evil? Evil? EVIL...

New York Times: Saddam Was Going Nuclear

NYTThe New York Times is breaking the news that sensitive documents captured when Saddam Hussein was toppled. The documents outline in detail plans for building nuclear weapons. They also reveal Saddam's connections with Iran and various terrorist organizations, including al-Qaida.
Among the dozens of documents in English were Iraqi reports written in the 1990s and in 2002 for United Nations inspectors in charge of making sure Iraq had abandoned its unconventional arms programs after the Persian Gulf war. Experts say that at the time, Mr. Hussein’s scientists were on the verge of building an atom bomb, as little as a year away.

Here's the NYT article.

The New York Times and others seem to be attempting to use this information as a slam on the Bush administration immediately before the mid-term elections. Their argument is that this documentation should never have been put on the internet. They are right. Only it was Congress that authorized their release to the internet.

The part they seem to be overlooking is that this intellegence is irrefutable proof that Saddam Hussein's regime was, indeed, had nuclear ambitions and was actively pursuing nukes. It also provides proof that Saddam Hussein's regime did have a connection with al-Qaida.

It proves there was a legitimate reason to go into Iraq, aside from the reasons that I personally think were reason enough. For instance, having a standing army in the middle of the Middle East.

I think what they are saying is that the Bush administration lied about WMDs before he told the truth about WMDs.

The New York Times, along with John Kerry, the talking heads I'm hearing on television right now, and all the rest of the effete elite hold middle Americans in complete contempt.

They are so wrapped up in their own agendas that they don't seem to realize that the big bombshell is that the intelligence documents were on the internet as opposed to that Saddam Hussein was connected with al-Qaida and other enemies of the United States and was in the process of building a nuclear bomb.

hat tip: In the Bullpen

see National Review Online

Mensa Barbie says this isn't new news. She remembers the New York Times' proclivity for publishing dangerous leaks that breach national security.

Captain's Quarters has a thorough expanation of the intelligence and a points out some of the highlights of the NYT article:
That appears to indicate that by invading in 2003, we followed the best intelligence of the UN inspectors to head off the development of an Iraqi nuke. This intelligence put Saddam far ahead of Iran in the nuclear pursuit, and made it much more urgent to take some definitive action against Saddam before he could build and deploy it. And bear in mind that this intelligence came from the UN, and not from the United States. The inspectors themselves developed it, and they meant to keep it secret. The FMSO site blew their cover, and they're very unhappy about it.

Ray Robinson has a vivid reminder of Saddam's violent reign and an excellent run down of the Iraqi documents.

MVRWC
Yes, the New York Crimes is friggin’ insane. Iraq had a nuclear weapons program and was plotting to build an atomic bomb, but the Bush Administration is bad because those plans ended up online and could help Iran. Iran, who of course is only interested in nuclear technology for “peaceful purposes.” Allllll-righty then.

Theodore's World
But see ... the problem with the NYT thinking (beyond the obvious fact that they're traitors) is that it proves that Bush was RIGHT. The New York Times may think they are reporting another "gotcha" on Bush....but, this is THE gotcha that Bush has for all of the war in Iraq naysayers!!!

Bottom line is as simple as this, the DOCS are proof of Saddam having WMD and how he supported destruction and terrorism.

The Pirates Cove
Here's a thought. The Dems were shown to be completely wrong during the Reagan years vis-a-vis the Cold War and how to end it, which Reagan did. Of course, the Left claims it was Carter (snicker) who really ended it.

Now, the New York Times itself shows that Bush was right, and the Left was wrong. How do they spin this?

The Black Republican says Pay No Attention to the Dictator Behind the Nuclear Curtain.
Conservatives and Liberals alike are trying to figure out how the Democratic Party is going to spin this, and they've come up with some good ideas. But it still strikes me that the morsel people will take away from the story will be: "Saddam had the goods".

My question is: too little, too late? It depends how torqued up New Media can make the otherwise-uninformed portion of the populace between now and Tuesday. Go at it, bloggers.

Al-Qaida able to build Nuke inside the US


WND has an article today about a report published in Foriegn Policy magazine called, "The Bomb in the Backyard".

WASHINGTON – Terrorists could assemble a small group of fewer than 20 to construct a Hiroshima-size nuclear bomb, purchase the fissionable uranium needed and transport it to the U.S. city of their choice for less than $10 million, says a new report published in the November-December issue of Foreign Policy.


"The Bomb in the Backyard" was the result of the investigative work of Peter D. Zimmerman and Jeffrey G. Lewis. Zimmerman is professor of science and security in the Department of War Studies at King's College in London and previously served as chief scientist of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee and chief scientist of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. Lewis is executive director of the Managing the Atom Project at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.


"To put it in strictly commercial terms, terrorists would likely find a nuclear attack cost effective," they write in the article. "The simple appeal of nuclear terrorism can be illustrated with a hypothetical situation. A failed nuclear detonation, one that produced only a few tens of tons in yield, could kill 10,000 people in just a few hours if the device exploded in a crowded financial center. Not only would 10,000 persons represent the ipward limit of a conventional terrorist attack, but that figure would exceed the combined casualties in all of al-Qaida's attacks over the entire history of the organization."


And that's the "worst-case" scenario for the terrorists, the authors point out. If "successful," the nuclear detonation would kill 10 times more people – 100,000.


Without giving away any information about the assembling of such a device that cannot already be found easily on the Internet, Zimmerman and Lewis construct a scenario for building a nuclear bomb within the U.S. for a budget of less than $10 million – finding it can done with a small team of about 19, the same number of people involved in the Sept. 11 attacks.


"It is certainly possible that a terrorist group might not want to risk detection within U.S. borders and would prefer to make the bomb overseas," they write. "But, for purposes of this hypothetical situation, we chose a scenario that would be far less uncertain for the terrorists by eliminating the risks of moving the bomb across a border."


The article also notes that in November of 2004 Adnan el-Shukrijumah allegedly hijacked a Piper PA Pawnee cropduster from Ejido Queretaro near Mexicali to transport a nuclear weapon and nuclear equipment into the U.S., according to Paul Williams, a former FBI consultant and author of "The Dunces of Doomsday."

"He is an American and a friend of Muhammad Atta, who led 9/11 attacks five years ago," said Dawood. "We call him 'Jaffer al Tayyar' (Jafer the Pilot); he is very brave and intelligent. (President) Bush is aware that brother Adnan has smuggled deadly materials inside America from the Mexican border. Bush is silent about him, because he doesn’t want to panic his people. Sheikh Osama bin Laden has completed his cycle of warnings. You know, he is man of his words, he is not a politician; he always does what he says. If he said it many times that Americans will see new attacks, they will definitely see new attacks. He is a real mujahid. Americans will not win this war, which they have started against Muslims. Americans are the biggest supporters of the biggest terrorist in the world, which is Israel."

Hypothetical situation...maybe to build a bomb in the US. But the state of the US border and the nerve and determination of our enemies does seem to make it a believable scenario.

Dirty Bowl Sunday

Well, today's the day we will see if Al-Qaeda is taking it's cues from a Wisconsin grocery clerk.

An FBI official in Washington, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the case is still under investigation, told The Associated Press that the man acknowledged posting the phony stadium threat as part of a "writing duel" with a man from the Brownsville, Texas, area to see who could post the scariest threat.

Okaaaaaay! Brilliant literary move.

On Nuking Mecca


We've been receiving a number of hits at JDJ from searches for "Ramadan Attack on Friday the 13th"- that's tommorrow. Do they know something we don't?

Leonard Magruder is a guest writer who has the idea that deterrence of the Nuclear threat should include the threatened annihilation of Mecca.

The message is, just don't try it. This is a conditional plan, of the nature, "If you do that -we will be forced to do this." Nothing actually need happen. If it does, they will be responsible - for the destruction of their own people.


We must be prepared to use our power to end this threat to the world now, or live with it for decades to come during which time there will be successes by the terrorists. They will get through on occasion and destroy our cities one by one. After their first success, the loss of our first city to a nuclear device, there will be a terrible outcry for retaliation and millions could die in a spasm of unplanned nuclear response. Why not think this out and put a threat of retaliation in place now, in hopes of averting even that first attack?


Do we think the jihadists are ready to enter into diplomacy? Maybe if we threaten their cube in the desert...they will.

Top Qaeda leader Goes After White House

No he's not a democrat.

DUBAI (Reuters) - A man believed to be a top al Qaeda militant who escaped from a U.S. jail near Kabul was shown in a new videotape broadcast on Tuesday exhorting followers in Afghanistan to fight on until they attack the White House.


"Allah will not be pleased until we reach the rooftop of the White House," Abu Yahya al-Libi was shown telling fighters in the tape aired by the Dubai-based Al-Arabiya television.


The channel said the tape was one-hour long, showing footage of Libi urging fighters to train hard and even to try to acquire nuclear technology.


"You have to get well prepared by starting with exercise, and then you have to learn how to use technology until you are capable of nuclear weapons," he said.


Concerning nukes: a comment from a reader in Israel:

Joe, from whereever you are writing, you can afford to say "watch them very carefully." In a a handout newpaper, "Israeli," put out for the customers of the buses riding to and from the Central Bus Station in Jerusalem, I saw an article by Amos Segev in Hebrew stating about Iran, "In the end the decision must be ours alone."


If your country does not have the nuts to deal with the Moslem bomb, we in Israel will have to. G-d only grant that our leaders have the nuts to do it themselves...


We're with you on that too, Ruvy.

See the mushroom?

Al Qaeda’s warning to Muslims to leave the United States could prove true. Muslim guerillas have no record of bluffing. In Arab mentality, private honesty is non-existent, but public image must be sustained at any cost. Arabs are often truthful in their public pronouncements.

The warning immediately followed the North Korean nuclear test. The Korean communists acted entirely unreasonably, and predictably angered China, their main sponsor. North Korea could ask the world community for just any aid in return for abandoning the nuclear test; it didn’t.

The North Koreans exploded an unusually small bomb – too small if they wanted to build up their military image. The test could be intended for a customer.

Would the North Korea risk selling nuclear weapons to terrorists? After attack, the seller would be obvious. North Korean rulers need cash, and don’t care about retribution against their people. Quite possibly, North Korea undertook to sell nuclear weapons in exchange for A.Q.Khan’s assistance in their nuclear program. Khan, ousted from the Pakistani nuclear conglomerate under the US pressure, definitely wants revenge.

Al Qaeda first warnings of massive attacks came about the same time when North Korea produced its first enriched uranium or plutonium. Bin Laden offered himself as spiritual guide to the Americans to convert to Islam. He asked the US to withdraw from the Muslim territories. Later, he offered truce. Finally, he told the fellow Muslims to flee. Bin Laden exonerated himself before a major attack.

Given a chance of nuclear attack against the US, what is to be done? Analysts are probably checking now C-130 plane flights from Pakistan to North Korea in the recent days. Customers took a plane. Checking the massive ($100mil+) cash withdrawals from bank accounts is also worthwhile. The major thing, however, is counter-threat.

The United States must issue the ultimatum: in case of nuclear attack, it won’t search for the perpetrators, but inflict reciprocal damage. Mecca is the American best defense and the dream hostage. Pass a law or at least issue executive order than the US would annihilate Mecca after any terrorist nuclear attack on the American soil. Including in the list a couple of other cities, like Hyderabad and Teheran, is useful, but not essential. Mecca is critical for Shiites and Sunnis, Saudis and Pakistanis. Muslim terrorists could not afford to be blamed for annihilation of Mecca.

North Korea Detonates Nuke

South Korean SoldierSEOUL, South Korea - South Korean government officials said North Korea performed its first-ever nuclear weapons test Monday, the South's Yonhap news agency reported.

South Korean officials could not immediately confirm the report.

South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun convened an urgent meeting of security advisers over the issue, Yonhap reported.

The North said last week it would conduct a nuclear test as part of its deterrent against a possible U.S. invasion.
[source]

This is getting real now.

UPDATE: North Korea Says Nuclear Tests Successful

SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea said Monday it has performed its first-ever nuclear weapons test. The country's official Korean Central News Agency said the test was performed successfully and there was no radioactive leakage from the site.

"The nuclear test is a historic event that brought happiness to the our military and people," KCNA said.

South Korea's Yonhap news agency said the test was conducted at 10:36 a.m. (9:36 p.m. EDT Sunday) in Hwaderi near Kilju city, citing defense officials.

The Japanese government set up a task force in response to reports of the test, Kyodo News agency said Monday. Ministers and officials were urgently called to discuss the situation, the agency reported.

Officials at the Prime Minister's Office were not immediately available to confirm the report.

South Korean Intellegence Report:
South Korea said the country's state intelligence agency detected a 3.58 magnitude seismic tremor in the eastern remote area of North Hamgyeong province at 10:36 a.m. (0136 GMT), reported South Korea's Yonhap news agency.

Earlier in the week the United States issued this statement to Pyongyang:

North Korea "can have a future or it can have these weapons. It cannot have both," Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill said Wednesday in remarks at Johns Hopkins University's U.S.-Korea Institute. It was the toughest response yet from the Bush administration, coming two days after Pyongyang announced plans to conduct its first nuclear test.

The U.N. Security Council said that any nuclear test done by North Korea would be a serious threat to world peace and security. The U.N.'s statement included that the Security Council would 'act consistent with its responsibility under the Charter of the United Nations.'

Australia Prime Minister John Howard

Australia's Prime Minister strongly condemned the test and stated that seismic activity confirmed the test had taken place. He stated that North Korea would not garner better bargaining power through these actions. “The test has destabilised the region, it's eroded North Korea's own security,” he said. “A strong international response is called for and Australia will give full support to that response.”
Mr Howard described it as outrageous that North Korea relied on the international community to feed its starving population while devoting scarce resources to nuclear programs.


South Korea has warned it wouldn't tolerate a nuclear armed North Korea.

Japan has said a any nuclear test by North Korea would be unforgivable.

China has urged North Korea to show restraint.

Japan and South Korea have been trying to put pressure on China to dissuade Pyongyang from following through with it's announcement that North Korea would test nukes this weekend.

North Korea can now be considered a nuclear power. It is a volitile and secretive state that has technically been at war with South Korea and the United States for about 50 years.

This is a perfect example of why we should not half-fight a war or leave a war unfinished. Whenever we've done that, it's come back to bite us.

This action by the North Koreans reveals an entirely new dimension to the War on Terror. The complexion of the war and the world has changed today.

North Korea Announces Plans for Nuclear Tests

KimKim Jong Il is playing with his nuclear missiles again while his country starves. He's making a lot of people very nervous.
Oct. 4 (Bloomberg) -- South Korea expressed its ``deeply serious concern and regret'' over North Korea's announcement it will conduct a nuclear test and told Kim Jong Il's regime to withdraw its plans.

``We reiterate our policy that we will not condone North Korea possessing nuclear weapons, and urge North Korea to cancel its plans to hold a nuclear test,'' Foreign Ministry spokesman Choo Kyu Ho told reporters at a briefing today in Seoul. ``North Korea's mention of a nuclear test goes against relevant nations' ongoing efforts towards a peaceful resolution.''

South Korea is the latest country to condemn North Korea's announcement yesterday. The U.S. government said a nuclear test would ``pose an unacceptable threat'' to the world while Japan said a test would be ``unforgivable'' and require a severe international response.

U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan made a statement:

"It would bring universal condemnation by the international community and will not help (North Korea) achieve the goals expressed in its statement, particularly with regard to strengthening its security."

U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton is urging the U.N. to take more convincing action with North Korea.

Bolton said he urged members to engage in "preventive diplomacy" and hold a brainstorming session "to come up not just with a knee jerk reaction ... but to develop a coherent strategy to convince them that it's not in their interest to engage in nuclear testing."

Experts believe that Pyongyang has enough plutonium for 11 nuclear bombs. The tests that Pyongyang conducted in July 2006, with complete disregard for the condemnation from the international community, proved it had the missiles, two of which are believed to be capable of reaching the United States.

The United States, Japan and South Korea have been trying to get China and Russia to put pressure on North Korea to cease this taunting of the international community. Japan and South Korea have obvious reasons to be extremely concerned about what this irrational and unpredictable dictator might do.

While Kim Jong Il lives in obscene wealth and privilege, his country is starving. His military is taken care of, but the people are not.

If North Korea does indeed have the capability to test nuclear weapons then the game is on. Japan and South Korea will have increasing pressure from within their own countries to arm themselves and enhance their own capabilities for defense. China does not want to see a nuclear armed Japan but is reluctant to reign in North Korea.

All reasonable nations are concerned about what North Korea will do with nuclear weapons. In all likelihood, the weapons would find their way into the hands of Kim's new found friends in Iran and Venezuela.

I imagine that the Korean peninsula is surrounded by American submarines even as I write this. I certainly hope so.

When we see our troops being pulled out of South Korea, it's time to watch for the flash coming from the East.

The Black Wind Of Death

From the paper "Deterrence Now 2" by guest writer Leonard Magruder of Vietnam Veterans For Academic Reform.

Following are three basic but contrasting interpretations as to the cause of Islamic terrorism.

1) "Root causes" is the problem.

The first is from the book "Warrant for Terror" by the noted Israeli strategist, Shmuel Bar.

"It cannot be ignored that the lion's share of terrorist acts and the most devastating of them in recent years have been perpetrated in the name of Islam. This fact has sparked a fundamental debate both in the West and within the Muslim world regarding the link between these acts and the teachings of Islam. Most Western analysts are hesitant to identify such acts with the true teachings of one of the world's great religions and prefer to view them as a perversion of a religion that is essentially peace-loving and tolerant. Their "root-cause" explanations include political causes (the Israeli-Arab conflict); cultural causes (rebellion against Western cultural colonialism or decadence); and social causes (alienation, poverty). While no public figure in the West would deny the imperative of fighting the war against terrorism, it is equally politically correct to add the statement that, for the war to be won, these grievances pertaining to the root causes of terrorism are justified and should be addressed. An interpretation which places the blame for terrorism on religious and cultural traits, they claim, runs the risk of being branded as bigoted and Islamophobic."

2) U.S. forces in Muslim lands is the problem.:

A second interpretation is found in an analysis of the most comprehensive collection of data on terrorism by professor of political science Robert A. Pape of the Univ. of Chicago in his recent book, "Dying to Win."

"With data from more than 430 suicide attacks we now know that these individuals are not mainly poor, desperate criminals, or uneducated religious fanatics but are often well-educated, middle-class political activists. Terrorism is not primarily a product of Islamic fundamentalism. 95% of suicide terrorist attacks occur as part of coherent campaigns organized by large militant organizations with significant public support. Every suicide campaign has had a clear goal that is secular and political to compel a modern democracy to withdraw military forces from the territory that the terrorists view as their homeland."

3) Islam is the problem.

The third interpretation is from "An End to Evil", by former CIA analysts David R. Frum and Richard Perle.

"The terrorists kill and will accept death for a cause with which no accomodation is possible. That cause is militant Islam. Moreover, these beliefs are not really confined to a radical fringe, but infect even ordinary Muslims. Even though it is comforting to deny it, all the available evidence indicates that militant Islam commands wide support , and even wider sympathy, among Muslims worldwide, including Muslim minorities in the West. The roots of Muslim rage are to be found in Islam itself. While there are multiple terrorist groups, the common element of Islam makes the threat monolithic.The ideology that justifies the terrible crimes of Hamas and Hezbollah is the same ideology that justifies the crimes of al-Qaeda. The result is an unlimited threat to dominate the world through Jihad.This strain seeks to overthrow our civilization and remake the nations of the West into Islamic societies, imposing upon the whole world its religion and its law.

-----------------------------------------------
THE BLACK WIND OF DEATH

Here are four items reported in the news recently that show the danger America faces from Islamic Jihad. From terrorist groups, but also entire Muslin nations issuing threats.

al Qaeda, in a statement claiming credit for the Madrid bombing, March 11, 2004:

"We announce the good news for Muslims in the world that the strike of the black wind of death, the expected strike against America, is now in its final stages - 90 percent ready - and it is coming soon.") note: Why "good news for Muslims ?" Because they know that the vast majority of Muslims secretly or openly approve of a campaign of terror against "infidels." )

WorldNetDaily recently reported this:

"Top U.S. government officials are contemplating what they consider to be an inevitable and much bigger assault on America, one that is likely to kill millions, destroy the economy, and fundamentally alter the course of history. According to captured al-Queda leaders and documents, the plan is called "American Hiroshima", and involves the multiple detonation of nuclear weapons already smuggled into the U.S. ."( Note: The terrorists hope to ruin America in one blow. Multiple cities simutaneously could do it, as would an electromagnetic pulse attack.)

WND-Washington - .James Woolsey, former director of the CIA, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee in February that Iranian President Ahmadinejad , who is close to Hezbollah, says he knows of 29 sites in the U.S. and the West and is ready to attack in order to "end Anglo-Saxon civilization." An Iran campaign to recruit suicide bombers registered 55,000 ready to carry out attacks against two targets, "the infidels occupying Iraq, and Israel ," in a fight against "global blasphemy."- that is, all non-Muslims.

"Osama bin Laden now has religious approval to use a nuclear device against Americans." Michael Scheuer, the former head of the CIA unit charged with tracking down bin Laden, told Steve Kroft on "60 Minutes" Sunday, (November 14, 2004) . "Even if bin Laden had a nuclear weapon, he wouldn"t have used it for a lack of proper religious authority, authority he now has." The approval found that bin Laden was perfectly within his rights to use them, to kill up to four million Americans, two million of them children."

Two comments - First - these items hint of horrendous destruction, far greater than 9/11 and must be taken very seriously, second - the idea that God has given bin Laden permission to murder 2 million American children should give anybody an insurmountable problem with Islam. In the light of this threat, no plan can be considered "too radical." We must take no chances with insanity like this. It is this convergence of religion and murder that has rightly placed all civilized nations on high alert.--[L.M.]

Reporter: Don't underestimate al-Qaida nuke threat

"I would not underestimate these people," he said

Hamid Mir, a reporter who has covered al-Qaida and met with Osama bin Laden, told radio talk-show host Glenn Beck yesterday that he, too, had make the mistake of underestimating the terror network in the past.

He said he interviewed bin Laden prior to Sept. 11, 2001, and heard warnings about an attack on the U.S., but discounted them.

Mir took bin Laden more seriously after the bombings of the embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, shortly after his first of three meetings with bin Laden – the last coming after 9/11. More here.

Terrorists may get nuclear 'free agents'


WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 (UPI) -- Destitute Russian nuclear specialists could easily be hired by terrorist groups now that a U.S.-Russian partnership is set to expire, a watchdog group says.


The 1998 Nuclear Cities Initiative, which offers opportunities to impoverished specialists living in remote former-Soviet "science cities," is set to expire Friday.


"If we eliminate this program we will be losing a major nonproliferation agreement," says Kenneth Luongo, executive director of the Russian-American Nuclear Security Advisory Council, a nuclear nonproliferation group in Washington.




The United States and Russia are not planning to maintain the program, even with the threat of nuclear terrorism looming large, The Christian Science Monitor reports.

What else does Luongo say?

2001 transcript from PBS's RISK ASSESSMENT: RUSSIA

KENNETH LUONGO: I've seen highly enriched uranium in a tube that would fit in a briefcase inside the equivalent of a gym locker with two strings and a wax seal.


BETTY ANN BOWSER: Is that enough to make a bomb?


KENNETH LUONGO: It's enough to do serious damage, just sitting there behind a huge vault door that had a lock that could be opened with a skeleton key.




I guess the U.S and Russia balks and security walks...

Al Qaeda Orders Muslims to Leave US Before Nuclear Terror Strike!

Huge hat tip to Gateway Pundit and MVRWC.
Be on the look out for this Al Qaeda terrorist, Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, who lived in the US for several years.
He is considered extremely dangerous and there are now at least two different sources who claim he will carry out a nuclear attack within the United States soon!
There is a $5 million reward for information on his whereabouts.

This news is something that should not be ignored. I don't want to send false alarms and we all hope this is just propaganda, but more and more sources are pointing to this being a real possibility. If we ignored this and it did end up happening we would have to accept the consequences of doing nothing to stop it.
Here is the latest news from the Northeast Intelligence Network and Canada Free Press:
Urgent news from Abu Dawood, the newly appointed commander of the al Qaeda forces in Afghanistan:
* Final preparations have been made for the American Hiroshima, a major attack on the U. S.
* Muslims living in the United States should leave the country without further warning.
* The attack will be commandeered by Adnan el Shukrijumah (“Jaffer Tayyer” or “Jafer the Pilot”), a naturalized American citizen, who was raised in Brooklyn and educated in southern Florida.
* The al Qaeda operatives who will launch this attack are awaiting final orders. They remain in place in cities throughout the country. Many are masquerading as Christians and have adopted Christian names.

Keep your eyes open, this man needs to be found:
More on Adnan G. El Shukrijumah
Date of Birth Used: August 4, 1975 Hair: Black Place of Birth: Saudi Arabia Eyes: Black Height: 5'3" to 5'6" Sex: Male Weight: 132 pounds Complexion: Dark, Mediterranean Build: Average Remarks: El Shukrijumah occasionally wears a beard. He has a pronounced nose and is asthmatic. El Shukrijumah speaks English and carries a Guyanese passport, but may attempt to enter the United States with a Saudi, Canadian, or Trinidadian passport.

Much more info at Gateway Pundit and MVRWC.
