Waiting for Janet Napolitano's statement regarding Scott Roeder?
Edited on Sun Jun-07-09 01:48 PM by BuyingThyme

Well, please remove your shoes and keep waiting.

You see, Scott Roeder is a real terrorist--somebody who has committed violence with the intention of influencing the way we do things in this country.

Janet Napolitano runs the Homeland Security Department. The Homeland Security Department only deals in fake terrorism. They don't do real terrorism.

In fact, they don't even know what real terrorism is. They think it has something to do with "critical national networks or infrastructures or key assets." No joke. That quote is taken directly from their website.

The goal of the Homeland Security Department is not to protect you, but to control you, to scare you, to separate you from your freedoms

Carry on.


FYI: The fake national threat advisory for terrorism is Elevated. The fake threat level in the airline sector is High or Orange.

1. Terrorist isn't a word to be thrown around as it has here. The HSD has a
reputation to consider.

11. Yes. I had this discussion last week. I argued that his action
didn't fit the basic definition of terrorism but first degree murder. Feel free to disagree. This is America. It seems like people want to call him a terrorist to make the crime look more inflammatory and to keep the story front and center. Just curious...has the main stream media labeled Roeder a terrorist?

21. Well, it's not a matter of liking or credibility. The MSM LOVES sensationalism
and reporting on terrorism because they get people's attention. If they believe Roeder is a terrorist, don't you think they'd be taking full advantage of labeling him as such?

13. It fits the basic definition of both.
One does not preclude the other.

15. I hope to hell this story
stays front and center. Exactly where it belongs. If any good can come of this tragedy, it will be exposing the truth about women's reproductive rights, and the violent tactics that are being used to threaten them.

16. The main stream media? You're saying we should rely on THEIR definitions of things?
:rofl:


Operation Rescue and Army of God are terrorist organizations. Roeder was a member of or affiliated with both. FACT.

Faux and the neo nuts don't consider American white Neo Christian fanatics terrorist.

8. The less public officials make statements
before a trial, the less a defendant's attorney will be able to claim he can't get a fair one. Time enough for statements after a conviction -- unless the intent is to influence a conviction, and I don't believe any DUer would want to do that.

10. Don't you know it's the first job of American presidents to pretend
that their first job is to protect the American people from terrorists?

19. This is true
however; in the current environment if the homegrown terrorist is let's say a black Muslim convert and he kills two US soldiars in the US then it is okay to label him a terrorist.

But in the case of white neo nut Christian violent criminals who pose the same threat to the general public we are supposed to be careful labeling them because it could prejudice a jury.

Can't have it both ways....

14. The "dirty bomb" that disappeared
snip

On the right side is a leaked FBI intelligence report, Obama's inauguration, a multi-million dollar trust fund, a woman, uranium, thorium, the first attempt to build a "dirty bomb" on US soil, and, of course, murder.

On the wrong is the body of James G. Cummings, white supremacist millionaire, found in his Belfast home on December 9, 2008, shot to death.

After local police attended the scene, the FBI moved in and sealed off the building. Men in protective suits descended on the home but police refused to comment about what they found. Mrs. Cummings was taken into custody.

Then on January 12, 2009, Wikileaks revealed a confidential FBI field intelligence report on the incident as part of a Presidential inauguration threat analysis.<1>

According to the FBI report, Cummings had four lots of one gallon containers of bomb-grade hydrogen peroxide, uranium, thorium (also radioactive), lithium metal, thermite, aluminum powder, beryllium (radiation booster), boron, black iron oxide and magnesium ribbon.

While the radiation levels from Cummings initial device would have not have been physically significant compared to its explosive and toxic effects, had Cummings set off the device in Washington DC, during Obama's Presidential inauguration, its psychogenic effect may have hospitalized thousands.

The FBI states it also seized literature on how to build “dirty bombs” and information about cesium-137, strontium-90 and cobalt-60 and other radioactive materials.

There was also evidence linking Cummings to white supremacist groups, including Cummings' membership application to the US National Socialist (Nazi) party.

Local tradesmen who worked at the Cummings home told Maine reporters that Cummings was an ardent admirer of Adolf Hitler and had a collection of Nazi memorabilia around the house, including a prominently displayed flag with a swastika. Cummings claimed to have pieces of Hitler’s personal silverware and place settings.<2>

Though the Associated Press independently confirmed the Wikileaks FBI report, no-one outside of the Maine press (and Wikileaks) wanted to tell their readers about the first credible "dirty bomb" plot on US soil.
