Truth Trickles Out Concerning Air France Disaster

Find out what the mainstream media did not report and what the U.S. Government did not want to acknowledge concerning the Air France disaster at Columbia Conservative Examiner.

A South American news agency reported on May 27, just days prior to the disaster, that Air France had received a bomb threat.

ISRAEL RETALIATES AGAINST GAZA JIHADISTS

In response to relentless terrorism aimed against its citizens, Israel has launched retaliatory attacks against Jihadist Muslims in Gaza.

Despite the court of world opinion and condemnations by the U.N., most who are sympathetic to the plight of the Jews in the face of Islamic terrorism view the defensive attack by Israel as long overdue.

One of the most asinine and indefensible pieces of propaganda emanating from the mainstream media and leftist politicians around the world is that Israel must simply be the sitting duck as terrorists all around it seek to wipe it from the face of the earth.

Such utterly irrational blather must be dismissed outright as anti-Semitic.

UPDATE: Via Matt Drudge, Reuters News Service is reporting that Hamas has threatened to 'unleash hell' on Israel in response to the attacks on Gaza.

UPDATE 2: Israellycool.com is live-blogging the Israeli attacks on Gaza and the resulting fallout. (H/t to Michelle Malkin).

Jihadist Head-Choppers Escape From Prison

In a stunning set-back for the U.S.-led War on Terror in Afghanistan, nearly 400 Taliban prisoners--most of them suicide bombers--have escaped from a prison in an area of southern Afghanistan.

The Taliban was identified early-on as some of the most dangerous of the head-chopping, suicide-bombing Jihadist segment of Islam.

News reports from Fox News, NBC, and others indicate that members of the exiled Taliban in Afghanistan set off a series of explosions at the prison, allowing inmates to escape. Of the estimated 1000 escapees, nearly 400 are said to be suicide bombers who belong to the Taliban.

The escapees immediately headed for the hillsides of the country, making them very difficult to track due to the rugged terrain.

Observers suggested that perhaps the prison break represents a new phase of the world-wide War on Terror. With most of the Taliban in prison and with Al Qaeda crushed, the incidents of beheadings around the world have plummeted. Suicide bombings have also been in decline.

However, now that some of the most dangerous Taliban operatives have escaped from prison, officials fear that the group could be reorganizing in an attempt to retake Afghanistan and re-assert their prominence in the world of terrorism.

The news comes at a very bad time. Just this week U.S. officials stated that a terrorist plan to bomb the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta was uncovered and averted. The Toronto Star reported that not only were the Jihadists gunning for Atlanta with truck-laden bombs, but they were planning to strike Toronto and Chicago as well in hopes of killing upwards of 1 million Americans.

Yet the mainstream media is totally ignoring the story, and only the Toronto Star is reporting it.

Thus, my friends, terrorism should be back on the front page of the news as it has become clear that suicide bombers and head-choppers are back on the loose. And the escape of Taliban operatives is only more reason to be concerned.

Notes From Here and There

In just three days the Iowa Caucuses will kick off the 2008 Presidential campaigns in earnest. Polls have been all over the board in both Parties. In fact, voter preferences have been so fluid that we think it is fairly impossible to predict who will win on either side.

Although he is in 3rd place, Fred Thompson has a chance to pull an upset. He is within striking distance of front runner Mike Huckabee, and the money Thompson raised during his two-day blogburst blitz last week will mean he can inundate the state with a barrage of TV and radio ads in the last three days of campaigning.

This could make a huge difference.

On the Democratic side some observers indicate that Barack Obama has begun to lose some of his luster, despite Oprah Winfrey's 'Barack and Oprah Road Show.' Nonetheless, there is also widespread discontent with Hillary. Does this mean that John Edwards is the beneficiary?

This is hard to say. We do not see Edwards winning any primaries, but we have been proved wrong before.



Pakistani officials now claim that popular opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was not killed by bullets but by a severe bump to the head. Apparently the shots that rang out missed the charismatic Bhutto but rattled the vehicle in which she was traveling. When she attempted to duck back inside the vehicle she sustained blunt-force trauma to the head, resulting in death.

Nonetheless, Pakistani officials also claim they know who was behind the assassination.

A pro-Taliban leader with connections to Al Qaeda, who resides in the lawless tribal section of Pakistan where terrorists have found safe haven, was quoted from a document obtained by the Interior Ministry as congratulating the assassins for a 'job well-done.'

Baitullah Mehsud is suspected for perpetrating the attacks and is implicated in a series of other terrorist attacks within Pakistan.

In addition, there are widespread reports of violence and unrest throughout Pakistan in the wake of the funeral of Bhutto.



The Baltimore Chronicle suggested this week on its op-ed page that a global warming catastrophe could rid the world of conservatives. As areas in the Southeast, the Deep South, the Southwest, and the Great Plains States are devastated by rising temperatures, residents will be forced out, supposedly to take haven in the cooler areas of the northeast and Great Lakes region, which somehow will be spared the doom.

It is then, as the writer suggests, that these conservatives should be forced to endure sub-citizen status and not allowed to participate in the political process, 'due to their hate-filled and single-minded desire to do nothing about global warming.'

The writer hails this as a wonderful thing.

But apparently neither the writer nor the Chronicle have been reading the template of their own movement. According to the script followed by the Algore people and the more militant global warming proponents, the end result of global warming will not be unendurable heat but a massive ice age caused by gigantic, hurricane-like storms that will engulf the entire planet, which will catapult the Earth into a devastating ice age.

These storms, which will be fueled by the warmer air, will have the net result of ridding the Earth of the warmer air, plunging temperatures into danger zones like the planet has never seen since the last Ice Age. Thus, those who survive will be forced South.

Just think, the pompous-assed northeasterners and Great Lakes elitists will be forced into territory where Bubbas love their guns and dislike Yankee liberals. I don't think I would be mouthing off about how you plan to punish Bubba if he is forced up into your area. He just may have a few surprises of his own waiting for you when you get here to thaw out of the deep freeze.

'CONVERT OR DIE!' The Mantra of Muslim Extremists

Washington, DC (TLS). The global jihad is a fight to the death whether we like it or not, whether we choose it or not. The ultimatum has already been chosen for us by those who intend to kill us unless we convert.

Proof positive of the ultimate goal of Muslim extremists is a statement that surfaced from the Taliban in Pakistan over the weekend. Pakistani Christians were informed by the Taliban that they can avoid death...IF they convert.

This is the mindset of the Islamic Jihadists. Convert to Islam or you WILL be killed.

Dems Seek to Silence Citizens on Terrorism!

Washington, DC (TLS). Remember the six Muslim imams who were ousted from a U.S. Air flight because they were acting and speaking exactly like the 9/11 terrorists?

It was ordinary citizens like you and me who alerted airport officials about their concerns.

If Congressional Democrats get their way, those ordinary citizens will be subject to civil liability. In short, report your suspicions about potential terrorists, and you will be sued.

Guess who is leading the Democrats' charge in Congress? Senator Russ Feingold and Representative John Conyers.

Behind the effort to get these changes passed into law is CAIR--the infamous Council on America-Islamic Relations. CAIR is also working on a bill with the Democrats to prevent so-called 'racial profiling.' That's just a code word for forbidding you to report your suspicions about terrorism if the ones you suspect happen to be Muslim young men of Middle Eastern descent.

Remember it was CAIR that just last week circulated demands that news organizations refrain from referring to the Fort Dix Six as Muslim terrorists. CAIR said they were not Muslim and that their actions had nothing to do with their religion.

But guess what? It turns out they are Muslim, they are part of the Jihad, and they used Al Qaeda tapes to train for their foiled terrorist plot.

CAIR did not want you to know that.

Frank Gaffney, Jr. has the following must-read over at Jewish World Review. Read the details about how CAIR and Congressional Democrats are working in tandem to silence YOU, the citizen, from reporting your concerns about terrorism:
http://jewishworldreview.com/cols/gaffney050807.php3

CAIR IS NOW THOROUGHLY DISCREDITED

Washington, DC (TLS). Now that the identities and the religious affiliation of the 'Fort Dix Six' terrorists have been thoroughly and irrefutably documented, there is now absolutely no doubt that CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations) is a disgraced and totally discredited organization.

Most thinking people knew this already. But Democrats in Congress have been playing cozy with them. So have the mainstream media.

When the story broke about the Fort Dix Six, the Muslim terrorists who planned to murder hundreds, if not thousands of U.S. soldiers on our own bases, CAIR launched a major blitz to 'instruct' the media not to refer to the terrorists as Islamic.

In fact, CAIR is on record as stating that the terrorists are not Muslim at all and that their planned attacks had nothing to do with their religious affiliation.

This was in spite of the fact that all six are, indeed, Muslim, and that they used Al Qaeda training tapes to get ready for the attacks. They also referred to Osama bin Laden as their hero.

CAIR has just shown the entire world its true colors.

As we have stated repeatedly here at The Liberty Sphere, CAIR is nothing but a terrorist front organization. The fact that they would attempt to influence the manner in which the foiled terrorist plot was reported, when everyone knows the terrorists are Muslim, only points to their sordid, underhanded mode of operation as an apologist organization for terrorism.

And remember, my friends, the Democrats in Congress consult with these people on a regular basis.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes, if ever, for the Democratic leadership in Congress to totally disavow itself of any connection to CAIR.

SWORN AFFIDAVIT PROVES ISLAMIC JIHADISTS PLANNED TERROR PLOT

Washington, DC (TLS). A sworn affidavit by an FBI informant, who worked on the plan to thwart a terrorist plot in the making against U.S. soldiers on our own soil, shows beyond any doubt that the men who were arrested were, in fact, Muslim extremists intent on carrying out the Jihad.

In spite of CAIR's insistence that Islam had nothing to do with the terrorist plot, including demanding that news outlets avoid connecting the terrorists to Islam, The Smoking Gun has the goods that prove just who these men are.

A link is provided below that will take you to the website of The Smoking Gun. There you will find a 20-page sworn affidavit, provided by the FBI, that shows that the men who planned to kill in cold blood 'as many U.S. soldiers as they could,' are Islamic Jihadists.

It is entirely irrelevant that the men may not be connected directly with Al Qaeda or any other international terrorist organization, as if this makes them any less Muslim or any less terrorists.

In fact, the document you will read below provides details of the six men using Al Qaeda tapes and other materials by Osama bin Laden as sources of training to carry out this particular part of the Jihad. Whether or not they are actual members of Al Qaeda is a moot point. They nonetheless consider themselves as part of the Jihad, and obviously consider Osama bin Laden as a hero who models for them exactly how to conduct terrorist attacks against the West.

Be sure to read the entire document. It is a real eye-opener. And it erases any doubt that the terrorist plot uncovered by the FBI on Tuesday was, in fact, the work of Islamic terrorists.

CAIR CLAIMS TERROR PLOT NOT CONNECTED TO ISLAM

Washington, DC (TLS). The infamous Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) claims that the terrorist plot foiled by the FBI on Tuesday was in no way connected to Islam.

CAIR has plenty of influence in American politics with Democrats who control Congress, including helping Muslim Keith Ellison (D-MN) get elected to the House.

But CAIR is known by its detractors as a terrorist-front organization. Many point to the fact that CAIR demanded that the City of Los Angeles remove a billboard naming Osama bin Laden as a terrorist, just after 9/11, because, as CAIR put it, 'The message was offensive to Muslims.'

Here is the complete the story on CAIR's comments concerning the six MUSLIM EXTREMISTS arrested by the FBI on Tuesday:

'(CNSNews.com) - The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Tuesday said it was pleased that the FBI had foiled a plot to attack U.S. military bases but urged media organizations and public officials not to link the case to Islam. Six men arrested in New Jersey on suspicion of planning to attack military bases in or near New Jersey with the intention of killing service personnel are being described by officials as Islamic radicals. Four are Muslim ethnic Albanians from the former Yugoslavia, and the other two are originally from Turkey and Jordan, according to law enforcement officials. In a statement, CAIR said it was "repeat[ing] the American Muslim community's condemnation and repudiation of all those who would plan or carry out acts of terror while falsely claiming their actions have religious justification." The group also asked "media outlets and public officials [to] refrain from linking this case to the faith of Islam. The council asked mosques and Islamic institutions in New Jersey and nationwide to report any incidents of anti-Muslim backlash." CAIR said in the statement that it has issued "innumerable condemnations of terror." Critics of the organization have long noted its consistent refusal to denounce Hamas and Hizballah, two groups on the State Department's list of foreign terrorist organizations. They also point to the involvement of some individuals evidently linked to CAIR in terror-related activities. CAIR denies the accusations.'

FBI Says 'Muslim Extremists' Planned to Kill Hundreds

Washington, DC (TLS). The FBI is reporting today that the men who were arrested on Tuesday for attempting to carry out a terrorist plot to kill hundreds of U.S. soldiers were 'Muslim extremists.'

Using covert surveillance for over a year the FBI tracked the movements and plans of the Islamic Jihadists as they planned a major terrorist attack on our own soil, at some of our largest military bases.

According to the FBI, 'Today we dodged a bullet.'

School Hostage Drill Features 'CHRISTIAN' Terrorists

Washington, DC (TLS). This is just absolutely sickening. A New Jersey public school implemented a hostage drill in order to prepare students and faculty for the possibility for a terrorist hostage siege.

Yet guess who were the terrorists in this drill. CHRISTIANS!

Now, how many Christians do you know who have been involved in any way whatsoever with terrorism or the taking of hostages at schools?

Zilch.

Columbine? Nope. Several kids were blown away precisely because they were Christians. The perpetrators had a vendetta against Christians.

Which terrorist attack in this country can you think of that involved Christians, unless they were the victims?

The Twin Towers? Nope. Young Muslim men of Middle Eastern descent.

The bottom line is that this New Jersey public school pulled off this shameful display for two reasons and two reasons only:

One, they did not want to 'upset' Muslims in their hopeless politically correct mindset, where Christians are fair game for vilification but not ANY minority group.

Second, they wished to make a statement about Christianity, suggesting that 'Christian fundamentalists' are every bit as likely to unleash a violent attack on the nation's children as Jihadists--which is an abominable, barefaced lie.

Colleges Provide Platform for Muslim Extremists

Washington, DC (TLS). American college and university campuses are increasingly implicated in giving voice to Jihadists who proceed to advocate extremist views that place citizens' lives in danger. The Liberty Sphere conducted an exclusive investigation last month into terror cells in North Carolina, which revealed that the university campus is a prime launching pad for these cold-blooded murderers.

Greensboro's North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University was the spawning bed for several of the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks. In addition, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is home to an active Muslim group that sponsors campus speakers who use that platform as a means to spread a message of hate toward 'infidels.' The Raleigh chapter of 'MAS,' the Muslim-American Society, collaborates with members of UNC's faculty to sponsor these extremist speakers who advocate for the Jihad.

It was one of these meetings that led Muslim Mohammad Teheri-azar to ram his vehicle into a group of students on the campus of UNC, an attack that injured nine. The enraged Teheri-azar had attended a meeting sponsored by MAS and a group of UNC faculty that featured an extremist Muslim speaker who displayed vitriolic rhetoric aimed at Jews and 'infidels.'

The Liberty Sphere has also reported on several major university campuses that routinely sponsor extremist Muslim speakers. Yet those same campuses have reneged on invitations to speakers such as Nonie Darwish under pressure from campus and community Muslim groups.

You may remember that it was Darwish who was raised in a Muslim environment and experienced the Jihad first-hand. Darwish later repudiated the Jihad and became an outspoken advocate for Israel, the United States, and the War on Terror. More than once Darwish has been silenced by threats leveled at university administrators who had issued invitations for her to speak.

The Muslim extremists had different plans.

And thus, college and university campuses around the country, and around the world, have provided Jihadists a powerful platform from which to deliver their hate-filled propaganda and recruit young Muslims into the ranks of the Jihad.

Renewed Calls for Assault Weapons Bans

Washington, DC (TLS). The Salt Lake terrorist attack by Bosnian Muslim Sulejmen Talovic has resulted in renewed calls for assault weapons bans. As always in cases like this, the usual suspects among the gun-grabbers and Leftist ideologues seize incidents such as school shootings, mass murders in shopping malls, and the like, in order to attempt to capture public sentiment at a vulnerable moment to advance their subversive agenda. That agenda is the disarming of law-abiding citizens in the name of keeping criminals from using guns.

Of course, the apologists for the Left will predictably claim that since Talovic had no history of violent activity, then the only way to address tragedies such as the one he perpetrated is to pass legislation restricting access to weapons among the general population.

Naturally, the Liberals will never acknowledge that it was a concealed weapon carried by a citizen who happened to be a cop off duty that stopped the killer. Had this hero not been present, had he not used the concealed weapon in his possession, then the carnage wreaked by Talovic would have been infinitely worse.

But let's cut right to the chase for a moment, shall we? Instead of making law-abiding citizens pay for the actions of a criminal minority, why don't we go straight to the source of these problems and acknowledge that extremist Muslims are intent on carrying out this type of attack and others like it, and we had best be getting ourselves ready for urban warfare against terrorists--warfare that will require citizens to carry and use their guns.

The same can be said for school violence. Administrators and others within school systems across the country need to be allowed to carry concealed weapons. A teacher armed with a gun would have stopped most mass murderers in schools long before they were able to get off a single shot in most instances.

Instead, in our politically-correct 'gun-free zones' we have left these areas wide open for criminals who don't give a flying flip about the law to bring in their weaponry, leaving ordinary citizens as sitting ducks.

Frankly, I am growing very impatient with these grand social designers of the Leftwing and their grossly illogical proposals for more anti-gun laws. These laws do not work, and two major studies by the CDC and the American Academy of Science prove it.

What DOES work is profiling. It is time to ditch the lame-brained politically correct approach to not identifying likely suspects for the fear of offending CAIR. The attack in Salt Lake was part of the Jihad. The young man who carried out the attack was more than likely a victim of Sudden Jihad Syndrome, which is growing rampant among Muslim young men around the world after they are exposed to the extremist rhetoric of Islamic Jihadists.

Here is a better proposal. Just as the cop in Salt Lake was allowed concealed carry, so should the citizens be afforded the very same right. In the absence of law enforcement personnel at crime scenes, the citizens need the right to defend themselves against the onslaughts of violent criminals. If anything, the Salt Lake case is an example for the need for the citizens' right to concealed carry.
