Obama set to give speech that will "Shock Americans"

The first thing we should realize is that Obama would have never given the speech he is about to if not for the American Blogosphere connecting the dots that he and his administration failed to do.

The second thing to look for in this speech is how he will spin the information in order to "not let a crisis go to waste".  It is, after all, the Democrats and this Administrations belief that secrecy is needed because the rubes cannot handle the truth without panic, fear and of course, outrage!

I will, after the speech, obtain the text and pick it apart for the lies, distortions, inconsistencies and spin.  This President is more concerned about utilizing the CIA to aid in the fight against global warming than the "war on terror". 

Stay tuned....

Father and Son had “missions” at same time!

Let us take look at the man who snitched his son to the CIA!

The New York Times described the father who turned his son into the CIA as “a prominent Nigerian banker and former government official!”


According to “THISDAY” family sources said Mutallab has been uncomfortable with his son’s extreme views and had six months ago reported his activities to United States Embassy, Abuja, and Nigerian security Agencies.

This is basically how the Main Stream Media has reported it. They paint the father as a “credible” and prominent individual that wanted help to find and return his “poor misguided radical son” who had traveled recently to Yemen.

Now a deeper look into the senior Mutallab will paint a more nuanced character that may or may not be as credible as the “first glance” portrait.

As stated the Main Stream Media has painted the father in a broad stroke that gives the impression he is a “wealthy capitalist banker” and former Government official which to the layman indicates everything radical Islam, is not! After all, if the father turned the son into government intelligence agencies he surely is not on the side of radical Islam in fact it would indicate otherwise.

It is true that senior Mutallab is the pinnacle of Nigerian Banking as he has worked in the top echelons of 2 of the 3 major banks there (the United Bank of Africa & Chairman, First Bank of Nigeria which he left on December 13, 2009).

Further more the Main Stream Media mentioned (almost in passing) that the senior Mutallab was a former government official. Again, this is true, but his survival in government has been remarkable given the multiple leadership changes over the years. In the 1960’s he became “Chief Accountant/Acting General Manager, Defense Industries of Nigeria. This position was brief because “shortly thereafter” he became Financial Controller of the company that he served during multiple “regime changes”, over the years in multiple roles such as a Minister and member of the Federal Executive Council which is the highest policy decision making body in Nigeria.

There has been much criticism heaped upon US intelligence agencies for failing to connect dots given that such a prominent man had come to them with this information. There is one main question on the minds of many in the Nigerian Intelligence Community though that ask why, a former government official since the 1960’s did not go to the correct intelligence agency within the Nigerian government to report his son. The elder Mutallab surely knew which agency would be most effective in handling this information, yet he went to a lower agency to report it.

The Guardian newspaper reported that Nigerians President (like Obama) has launched a comprehensive probe of the incident. “The probe, which promises to be far-reaching, began in earnest on Monday morning when the “National Security Advisor Abdul Sarki Mukhtar issued a strongly worded query to the Director General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) entitled “Alleged Involvement of Umar Farouk Mutallab in the Attempt to Bomb a U.S. Airliner” (dated December 28, 2009). The National Security Advisor indicated that the National Intelligence Agency had prior knowledge of a report said to have been deposited with it on the suspect.

According to the query:

“From all indications, it seemed that your Agency had prior knowledge of a report, said to have been made by Alhaji Umar Mutallab about the tendencies of his son, Umar Farouk, towards radicalization, which was manifested in the incident leading to his arrest in the U.S.

It is really unfortunate and sad that knowledge of such an important intelligence issue could not be brought to the attention of this office, or the weekly Intelligence Community Committee Meeting (ICCM). It was this failure that led to the unfortunate incident we are grappling with now.

The report if circulated within the ICC would have alerted the Security Agencies at our Travel Control Points (TCP’s) to take appropriate required action that would have led to his arrest, before boarding the KLM flight from Nigeria, thereby pre-empting the sad incident.”

The NSA query ends with “Failure to do so has not only led to this rather unfortunate international embarrassment to the Nigerian nation, but also depicted our country as a haven for terrorists. You are therefore to explain what led to this failure of intelligence, and the persons therein involved. Your explanation, should reach me on or before Tuesday, December 29, 2009.”

Once again, why did the elder Mutallab report his son to the wrong agency when he surely had extensive knowledge of the correct Intelligence Agency in which to do so?

Further more, after the failed bombing on Christmas day the senior Mutallab told the Associated Press that “he did not know exactly where his son was”.

It has been learned that the son attended secondary school prior to attending the University College, London from September 2005 through 2008. It was at this secondary school (British International School in Lome, Togo) that his family was aware of his “extreme religious views” as he was known, by his classmates, to preach Islam and was called “alfa” (a local coinage for Islamic Scholar). It is intriguing that Togo, Lome’s “Sister City” is Bay City, Michigan (Detroit, MI was his “final destination” on Christmas Day).

The elder Mutallab has known about his son’s extremist views before 2005. The brother of the Christmas Day bomber indicated that “We know Farouk’s extreme views and were always apprehensive of where it may lead him to. In fact, during the last Boko Haram crisis, we were afraid he may be involved, but he didn’t.”

Boko Haram

Boko Haram (literally, Western or non-Islamic education is a sin) is a Nigerian militant Islamist group that seeks to wage religious war to impose Shariah law throughout Moslem and non-Moslem communities in all 36 states of Nigeria. The group is hostile to democracy and the secular education system, vowing that "this war that is yet to start would continue for long".

The group was founded in 2002 by an individual named Ustaz Mohammed Yusuf. The group includes members who come from neighboring Chad and speak only Arabic. The group set up a base called "Afghanistan", and was reported as refusing to mix with local people.

Boko Haram opposes not only Western education, but Western culture and modern science as well. In a 2009 BBC interview, Boko Haram founder, Yusuf stated that the belief that the world is a sphere is contrary to Islam and should be rejected, along with Darwinism and the theory that rain comes from water evaporated by the sun.

Boko Haram group was kidnapping Christians, Christian’s pastors and priests and tortured them into converting to Islam; and those who refused to renounce Christianity and convert to Moslem were lined up in public gathering and slaughtered for the rest to see.

Many complaints from community leaders, organizations, religious bodies and security officials to Nigerian authorities on the activities of Boko Haram were reportedly ignored.

In July 2009 the Nigerian police started investigating the group following reports that the group was arming itself in preparation for attacks including the police. Several leaders were arrested, sparking deadly clashes with Nigerian security forces which led to the deaths of an estimated 700 people.

In some places, fighters reportedly "used fuel-laden motorcycles" and "bows with poison arrows" to attack a police station.

Having attacked the police and army the same way they had been attacking defenseless civilians and Christians, Nigerian government sent the army which went after the group members, captured many including the founder Ustaz Mohammed Yusuf and other leaders, and handed him over to the police for investigation and prosecution.

Police interrogated them for few hours possibly to verify and ascertain their identity and killed them inside its station, sparking nationwide and international uproar. The police hierarchy told reporters that they received order to kill the leaders immediately. Killing the leaders of the group was effective way of covering-up detail information about the group members, supporters, financiers/sponsors and its murderous activities which the leaders would have provided at some point had they been alive and prosecuted in court.

Reports have it that the radicalized extremist group was actually supported and financed by very powerful people in and outside Nigeria, officials of federal, state and local governments, wealthy folks, and institutions in and outside Nigeria.

The question now is whether the system that developed, nurtured, incubated, and promoted Ustaz Mohammed Yusuf, Boko Haram and other radicalized extremists invariable produced this 23 years old Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab that on December 25, 2009 exported and internationalized the same terror being meted to non-Moslems in Nigeria.

I wrote a recent article that connected the Christmas Day “mission” of the son with Barack Obama (here). In this article I connect the dots with the founder of the “United Bank of Africa” was the same man (Khalid al-Mansour) who was instrumental (at the request of Bill Ayers) with Obama’s entrance into Harvard Law School.

The elder Mutallab was the Director of the United Bank of Africa from 1978-1988. It is quite plausible that our own intelligence agencies would been following this bank for quite some time as the FBI had an extensive interest in the Black Panther Party during the 60’s which al-Mansour was directly responsible for the creation of by financing them as well.

It is also important to remember that 3 of the 9/11 hijackers, Ft. Hood terrorist and Mutallab’s son was in direct contact with the radical Islamic Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.

Before I go on to explain the simultaneous “missions” that the father and son had, a more detailed background is in order on the elder Mutallab which I am afraid will not be “politically correct” as it profiles him regarding his own Islamic ties.

The elder Mutallab is married to a woman from Yemen.

The elder Mutallab, since 2003 has created Nigeria’s first full Islamic Bank (sharia) that was slated to open in early 2010.

Father & Son - Mission Coincidence

“Investigation reveals that in 2003 Alhaji Umaru Abdul Mutallah assembled a group of Nigerian Moslem mega-billionaires comprising of present and past government officials and business moguls and started setting up Nigeria's first fully fledged Islamic bank, Jaiz Bank International Plc (JBI). Information on the bank’s website indicates that the bank will be launched and open shop before the end of this year (2009).

Also on its website is information that, “the proposed Jaiz Bank International Plc which has been given a green light by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to set up a non interest bank has recently received a boost from reputable national and international investors.” The national investors were named but the international investors were not named.

It is probably a coincidence that one of Alhaji Umaru Abdul Mutalla’s sons decided to blow up US airline on about the eve of launching of Jaiz Bank International Plc (JBI), Nigeria's first fully fledged Islamic bank. An event such as launching of first fully fledged Islamic bank in Nigeria is a mega-significant and monumental event that within Nigerian socio-cultural and socio-political context is a celebratory event.

It is probably a coincidence also that one of Alhaji Umaru Abdul Mutalla’s sons decided to blow up US airline on Christmas day, the most joyous day for people of Christian faith all over the world.

Understanding of Nigerian socio-cultural peculiar situations, cues and nuances, as well as penchant for symbolism, idioms, peer pressure, and religious dynamics would put things and meanings into perspectives.

Alhaji Umaru Abdul Mutallah has reached the pinnacle of Nigerian commercial banking industry; his new mission now appears to be advancing the cause of Islam through noble business of banking in a way never done before in Nigeria. It is also probably a coincidence, even though a disquieting one, that his son’s (Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab) chosen mission appears to be advancement of Islam through violent attack on United States.”

It is now obvious that the senior Mutallab appears to distance himself of his son’s Islamic views yet he himself is at the center of this new Sharia bank adventure, the first of its kind in Nigeria.

We know the elder Mutallab states he did not know his son’s whereabouts in Yemen, yet he is married to a woman of Yemeni descent.

If the elder Mutallab surely wanted to find and rescue his son from the clutches of the evil Islamic brainwashers, 6 months prior to the attack then why did he go to inferior intelligence agencies in Nigeria (where he was aptly familiar with through his extensive government service)? Why didn’t he utilize his great wealth and influence to hire a private security firm to find and rescue him as other wealthy individuals do in similar situations that require cross country snatch and grabs?

Finally, I believe that it is prudent for the elder Mutallab to be fully investigated for these lingering questions about his own views of Radical Islamic religious views given he is the founder of the first Sharia bank in his country.

A lot of questions to be answered including our own failures to connect dots of critical information that were in our own possession.

The fundamental truth of Obama’s “law enforcement” policy

The bestowment of American legal rights to terrorists!


Let us open an honest assessment of Obama’s (and the Democrats for that matter) political belief that we give everyone, including capture combatants (lawful & illegal) habeas corpus rights.

We have heard this mantra ever since Guantanamo Bay was opened for business from the left side of the isle.

Per Wikipedia – “A writ of habeas corpus ad subjiciendum, also known as "The Great Writ", is a summons with the force of a court order addressed to the custodian (such as a prison official) demanding that a prisoner be brought before the court, together with proof of authority, allowing the court to determine whether that custodian has lawful authority to hold that person; if not, the person shall be released from custody. The prisoner, or another person on his behalf (for example, where the prisoner is being held incommunicado), may petition the court or an individual judge for a writ of habeas corpus.

OK, so the Democrats have bestowed these rights onto terrorists who we are now holding and for those we detain in the future and designate as “prisoners”.

The cornerstone of American jurisprudence is that we inform them of their “Miranda rights”! Since we are having an open and honest discussion about this particular right let us all say those infamous words out loud:

“You have the right to remain silent!” - It all starts and stops right here.

Once again, per Wikipedia – “Every U.S. jurisdiction has its own regulations regarding what, precisely, must be said to a person arrested or placed in a custodial situation. The typical warning states:

“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot affortd an attorney, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?”

The courts have since ruled that the warning must be "meaningful", so it is usually required that the suspect be asked if he understands his rights. Sometimes, firm answers of "yes" are required. Some departments and jurisdictions require that an officer ask "do you understand?" after every sentence in the warning. An arrestee's silence is not a waiver. Evidence has been ruled inadmissible because of an arrestee's poor knowledge of English and the failure of arresting officers to provide the warning in the arrestee's language.”

OK, time for a visual test here. Imagine, if you will, on a battlefield far, far away (think about the farthest, most remote location away from the US) and the terrorist that we have just captured does not speak a lick of English.

This terrorist is from a remote village where the dialect of his language can very village to village. It is plausable that one villager cannot understand another villages language even when is relatively close in geography to its own let alone the English language.

The legal onus is not on any of the villagers to understand our language it is on the arresting authority to have a translator that understands the specific village dialect. Remember, evidence has been ruled inadmissible because of an arrestee’s poor knowledge of English and the failure of the arresting authority to provide the warning in the arrestee’s language.

The worst part of this philosophy is that those who were scooped up after 9/11 (before Obama) will have the benefit that these rights are retroactive (meaning no one every read them miranda rights). 

Can you say “case dismissed”?

"Book em Danno" will never sound the same again.

Tom Leonard carrying the socialist water!

"The Acerbic Mr. Leonard's common themes in his “Telegraph.uk.co” opinion articles
Photo from Telegraph.uk.co files


I just read an article of Tom Leonard’s dated October 2009 titled “Texas man faces execution after jurors consult Bible to decide fate”.

Here are some excerpts:

“Amnesty International has appealed to the state to commute the sentence on Khristian Oliver, 32, who is due to die on November 5.
He was sentenced to death in 1999 for murdering a man whose home Oliver was burgling. The victim was shot in the face and beaten with his own rifle.”

Note: Anyone who lives in America is well aware how seriously Texas is about carrying out the death penalty. Notice how Mr. Leonard opens the article with “Amnesty International” to attempt to give credibility to the issue to be discussed.

“It later emerged that while deciding whether he should be given the death penalty, jurors consulted the Bible. Four jury members admitted that several copies had been in the jury room and that highlighted passages were passed around.

At one point, a juror reportedly read aloud from a copy, including the passage: "And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death."

Defense lawyers argued in appeals that jurors had been improperly influenced by the Bibles but the trial judge rejected the claim, a decision upheld by a Texas appeals court.

The US constitution calls for the separation of state and religion. In 2005, the state supreme court in Colorado overturned a death penalty on a convicted murderer because jurors had consulted the Bible while deliberating over his sentence.”

Note: In this latest passage he scorns the fact that some of the Jury members refer to the Bible in their deliberations. The Trial lawyers, doing what they do best in raising any kind of issue to spare their clients punishment appealed, and lost (again Texans take their death penalty seriously as well as their right to consult a higher authority). Finally, the exasperated Mr. Leonard refers to the “US Constitution’s separation clause” citing a liberal State that is home to Ward Churchill as the more progressive legal precedence.


He ends his article again with “Amnesty International” – “Kate Allen, Amnesty International's UK director, said Oliver's trial was a "travesty".


"Religious texts provide consolation and spiritual guidance for billions of people the world over, but this use of the Bible to decide life or death in a capital trial is deeply, deeply troubling," she said.”

The next article that I read from Mr. Leonard was written on December 31, 2009 titled “America's armed militia on the rise”.

Here are some excerpts:

“Extremist "patriot" groups and other armed militias have undergone a dramatic resurgence in America, their numbers more than doubling in the past year amid growing Right-wing fears over expanding federal power and gun control.

Such groups – a mix of libertarians, gun rights advocates and survivalists – appeared to be in terminal decline before the election of Barack Obama, according to monitoring bodies.

The Southern Poverty Law Centre, which tracks extremist organisations, says it has so far counted more than 300 patriot groups this year, at least double last year's total of 150. The real total will be much higher as many groups do not go out of their way to publicise their existence.”

Note: Notice how Mr. Leonard starts with “extremist patriot groups” and other armed militias. While he added the “armed militias” after calling American’s who consider themselves patriots (follow the Constitution and the Founding Fathers visions) are called extremists. It was the Southern Poverty Law Center that he cites (like he cited “Amnesty International as the norm) are the ones that Janet Napolitano used as her source to put out that “Right Wing Extremist” memo to law enforcement before pulling it and apologizing to Veterans.

“A similar wave of anti-government groups, some of whose members dress in camouflage gear and conduct military training at weekends, sprung up during the Clinton administration.

However, SPLC researchers said there was a new race factor reflecting President Obama's ethnicity and immigration fears.”

Note: Notice the “extreme right wing conspiracy” angle that the Clintons use to pull out when things did not go their way politically. The author could not help himself to pulling out the race card as well.

“One of the new patriot groups is called Oath Keepers. Its members, like those in other groups, look for guidance from America's Founding Fathers.

Formed last spring, Oath Keepers' members – limited to current or former servicemen and police – swear to obey the US constitution rather than politicians.

Stewart Rhodes, the founder, told The Daily Telegraph that the situation was a "potential powder keg".

He said: "The one thing that would probably lead [groups] to armed resistance is if the government did try to confiscate weapons, but that was what finally led to fighting in the American Revolution".

Note: Boy those “Oath Keepers” sound dangerous indeed. How dare they swear to obey the US Constitution rather than politicians? The real reason the author finds them dangerous, as Janet Napolitano and the SPLC did is because they are current and former military and law enforcement personnel – oh, and plus they will not turn their guns on the mothers, brothers, sisters, brothers and neighbors when the politicians tell them to during a “fabricated crisis” to declare martial law. The founder of the Oath Keepers only confirmed that the impetus for “armed resistance” would be the confiscation of our Constitution right to bear arms. Once again, how dare they threaten to uphold a Constitutional provision?

Mr. Leonard ends this article with the one thing he can hang his hat on, a lone wolf –

“Richard Poplawski, a Pittsburgh man who shot dead three police officers in April, complained to friends that the government was infringing gun rights.”

Another article from Mr. Leonard that I read was truly astounding even if came from a socialist writer it was written in June 2009 and was titled “Business students now swear that greed is bad.”

“Lots of talk about the Obama stimulus package; but the most successful government incentive scheme I've seen is the one encouraging hapless fools to become terrorists. The formula is simple: find some unpleasant characters with a lot of hate but little clue what to do with it and then facilitate, facilitate, facilitate.

Four New York men were in court last week charged with a plot to bomb two synagogues and bring down a plane. In fact, the crack-addled ex-jailbirds had pretty much everything done for them by the FBI. The bureau's informant drove them around possible targets and the Feds supplied the hardware. Cue dramatic arrests, politicians gushing about calamity averted and even talk of "America's finest hour". A prosecutor said it was "hard to envision a more chilling plot".

How about the one in 2007 when four men were arrested for planning to blow up gas lines to JFK airport, billed at the time as "one of the most chilling plots imaginable"? The four are still in prison, no trial date set. Then there was Hemant Lakhani, a British businessman now serving 47 years, so hopeless as a supposed international arms smuggler that the Feds had to get their Russian counterparts to buy the missiles for him. New York's leaders presumably feel that, in the shadow of 9/11, they can never belittle the anti-terrorist triumphs of their protectors. I'd draw the opposite conclusion: a city that has known serious terrorism deserves to be spared all the phoney baloney.”

Note: The plot was this – “Prosecutors say Defreitas, 63, a Guyana native who worked as a cargo handler at the airport until 1995, hatched the plot to blow up a jet fuel artery that runs through residential neighborhoods and feeds Kennedy airport. They say the group sought the help of Jamaat al Muslimeen, or JAM, a group based in Trinidad that is known to be violent and involved in killings, kidnappings and weapons trafficking during the past two decades.”

I think perhaps, Mr. Leonard hasn’t gotten past the fact that the US defeated the English a long time ago over most of the very same issues:

Religion, Gun Rights, Exceptional Patriotism and freedom from oppressive regimes.

Cut and Run strategy of the Socialist cowards

Gordon (Islam)Brown(nose) and the Girly men of the Obama Administration run and cower in the face of perceived al-Qaida threats to Yemen Embassies.


If there were ever a signal that the West is truly a paper tiger and that al-Qaida is strong enough to send up packing by a mere threat then this is it.

Appeasement cannot be denied in the recent announcement of closure. In true form and just like the UN fled Bagdad after their hotel was bombed the Brits under Brown and America under Obama have just sealed our fate to further attacks.

According to Yahoo news – “President Barack Obama's top counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, cited "indications al-Qaida is planning to carry out an attack against a target" in the capital, possibly the embassy, and estimated the group had several hundred members in Yemen. Security reasons led Britain to act, too; it was not known when the embassies would reopen.”

As to whether U.S. troops might be sent to Yemen, Brennan replied: "We're not talking about that at this point at all." He pledged to provide the Yemeni government with "the wherewithal" to take down al-Qaida.


Britain and the United States are assisting a counterterrorism police unit in Yemen as fears grow about the increasing threat of international terrorism originating from the country."

The only Democrat that has the right answer to this cowardly decision is Joe Lieberman who said the following – “"We've got to focus there pre-emptively, and I'm confident we will," said Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut.”

I guess the notion of “pre-emptive” to the socialists is to run and hide. The indications that Obama and Brown intend to handle this as “just another 7/11 robbery” is due to their ideas, expressed by John Brennan as follows – “The U.S. and Britain are funding a counterterrorism police unit in Yemen, and Britain plans to host an international conference Jan. 28 to come up with a strategy to counter radicalization in Yemen.”

They intend to beef up their police force and then sit down and talk (as usual).

Finally, in addition to the pre-9/11 appeasement strategy they are still active on the release of the 90+ Guantanamo inmates back to Yemen! Brennan said as much Sunday when he explained – “The U.S. will look case by case at whether to repatriate the remaining approximately 90 Yemeni detainees held at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp, Brennan said.

Seven of 42 Guantanamo detainees freed by the Obama administration were returned to Yemen, Brennan said, but doubts about the country's ability to police further freed detainees is a major obstacle to Obama's plan to shut down the facility. Brennan reaffirmed the U.S. administration's support for the closure, but said that with regard to the Yemeni detainees, nothing would be done to put U.S. citizens at risk.”

The one obstacle to remove is the “American risk factor” and once the embassies are closed, voila, no more Americans in harms way which clears the way to repatriate these killers. How nice.

Obama breaks his silence on Christmas Day bomber(s) - And vows to bring himself to justice!

“President Obama pledged Saturday that the United States will hold accountable all of the individuals involved in the failed Christmas Day terrorist attack aboard a U.S.-bound jetliner.



The group "al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula" apparently trained AbdulMutallab, "equipped him with ... explosives and directed him to attack that plane headed for America," Obama said.

"I've made it a priority to strengthen our partnership with the Yemeni government -- training and equipping their security forces, sharing intelligence and working with them to strike al Qaeda terrorists," he said.

Obama spoke with Homeland Security Assistant John Brennan on Thursday to review preliminary assessments of the federal government's inability to prevent the Christmas Day attack.”

So the Islamic loving President has finally spoken out (between his golf games in Hawaii) about the plot in the terms that it WAS a wider conspiracy and not the “lone wolf” terms that his Administration had tried to peddle to the American public.

What strikes me most about Obama’s statements yesterday is how readily the US Government is sharing intelligence with that radical Islamic nation (Yemen) but cannot share the same intelligence with our own intelligence agencies!

This is good news, right? John O. Brennan is on the job assessing the inability to prevent the attack. John O. Brennan was also put on finding out the same thing regarding the Ft. Hood terror attack. John O. Brennan is one busy dude so we must now bother him so he can get to work assessing.

John O. Brennan was also Director of the TTIF that testified before the 9/11 Commission that his agency now has the problem fixed (terrorism) and we are all much safer now because all intelligence departments across the nation all sit side by side, in one room just sharing all their information with each other to prevent any terrorist from boarding planes, with explosives to kill Americans. The problem that Brennan said was solved really helped with the Ft. Hood and Flight 253 incidents, whew he is good!

He is so good, that Obama has tasked him with getting to the bottom of the very thing he got to the bottom of with the 9/11 attacks.

There is a very good reason why Obama stopped Congress from investigating Ft. Hood and now Flight 253 from holding separate investigations while they are conducting their own internal White House ones, because Obama is connected to both those attacks personally.

I know, I know you think I am wearing a “tin foil” hat here in floating a “conspiracy theory” but, before you haul me off to the looney bin look at my dots and assess for yourself whether they are 1) credible and 2) sourced:

Flight 253 terror attack

We now have learned that the terrorist that boarded flight 253 did so in Lagos, Nigeria.

Note: It is important to remember Lagos, Nigeria while reading further. Keep this information in the back of your mind because it is one key “dot” in Obama’s relationship between the two (Ft. Hood & Flight 253).

2008 Obama Presidential campaign and Lagos:

The first thing to remember about the Christmas day bomber is that the terrorist’s father came forward to report his son’s increasing radical views to the US Embassy in Nigeria.

The father has been painted by the MSM as “credible” because he is a rich, retired Banker. Let us look at this rich and former Banker:

The father - "Alhaji Umar Mutallab"

"His financier father, Alhaji Umar Mutallab, founded the country's first Islamic bank and had also been in charge of the mainstream United Bank for Africa and First Bank of Nigeria.” – dailymail.co.uk

“Across the highway from the towering and luxurious Hilton Hotel is one of the smartest neighborhoods in the Nigerian capital of Abuja. There, on Asa Street, is the residence of Alhaji Umar Mutallab, a household name in Nigeria and the former chief of the United Bank for Africa and the First Bank of Nigeria, two of the country's largest financial institutions.” - Time

Note: It is quite probable that the bomber's father is not so credible because of his connection with the United Bank for Africa, here is why:

United Bank for Africa

Most people, including the Main Stream Media are not aware that the United Bank of Africa was co-founded by a man named “Dr. Khalid Abdullah Tariq Al-Mansour”!

Al-Mansour bio:

“Dr. Al-Mansour is an International Attorney and Businessman. His college education was obtained at Howard University, where he majored in Philosophy and Logic, and at the University of California School of Law at Berkeley where he received his Doctor of Jurisprudence degree.

He is a Phi Beta Kappa recipient and is listed in the World's Who's Who in Finance and Industry, International Who's Who in the Arab World, Who's Who in Public Affairs, Royal Blue Book of London, International Who's Who of Intellectuals, Who's Who in American Law, Who's Who in California, Who's Who in the World and Who's Who in Black America.

Dr. Al-Mansour has spent most of his adult life as a businessman/lawyer, intellectual, religious activist, author and teacher. His business and professional interests include co-founding the International Law Firm of Al-Waleed, Al-Talal & Al-Mansour, representing the O.P.E.C. interest of the famous Los Angeles trial, I.M.A.W.C. vs. O.P.E.C.; and serving as a co-founder and director of the Saudi African Bank (SAB), the United Bank for Africa (UBA) and the World United Bank for Africa (WUBA).”

Al-Mansour/Obama Connection:

Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour is a Muslim lawyer and a black nationalist who made news in 2008 when it was revealed that he had been a patron of Barack Obama and had recommended the latter for admission to Harvard Law School in 1988.

Before becoming a Muslim, al-Mansour in the 1960s was named Don Warden. He was deeply involved in San Francisco Bay Area racial politics as founder of a group called the African American Association. A close personal adviser to Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, al-Mansour helped the pair establish the Black Panther Party but later broke with them when they entered coalitions with white radical groups.

Note: Obama & 60’s radical’s sound familiar (Bill Ayers & Bernadette Dohrn, weather underground were closely aligned with the Black Panther party during their domestic bombing spree against US Government targets)! Remember when Obama dropped the “already won” court case against the “New Black Panther” voter intimidation case in Philadelphia during the Presidential election day turnout.

"al-Mansour a man said by Percy Sutton to have helped Obama both pay for and get into Harvard a ranting anti-semite."

"Although many Americans have never heard of Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour (his full name), he is well known within the black community as a lawyer, an orthodox Muslim, a black nationalist, an author, an international deal-maker, an educator, and an outspoken enemy of Israel."

Khalid al-Mansour was an advisor Saudi Prince Alwaleed. Why did he reportedly help Obama get into Harvard?

Note: The You Tube video was pulled from the You Tube site after the article was published in September 2008. The video can be viewed on the following website (here). I implore the reader to view it now.

2008 Obama “massive foreign” Campaign contributions

And then there are the overseas donations — at least, the ones that we know about.

The FEC has compiled a separate database of potentially questionable overseas donations that contains more than 11,500 contributions totaling $3.38 million. More than 520 listed their “state” as “IR,” which the FEC often uses as an abbreviation for "information requested." Another 63 listed it as “UK,” the United Kingdom.

More than 1,400 of the overseas entries clearly were U.S. diplomats or military personnel, who gave an APO address overseas. Their total contributions came to just $201,680.

But others came from places as far afield as Abu Dhabi, Addis Ababa, Beijing, Fallujah, Florence, Italy, and a wide selection of towns and cities in France.

Until recently, the Obama Web site allowed a contributor to select the country where he resided from the entire membership of the United Nations, including such friendly places as North Korea and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Unlike McCain’s or Sen. Hillary Clinton’s online donation pages, the Obama site did not ask for proof of citizenship until just recently. Clinton’s presidential campaign required U.S. citizens living abroad to actually fax a copy of their passport before a donation would be accepted.

With such lax vetting of foreign contributions, the Obama campaign may have indirectly contributed to questionable fundraising by foreigners.

In July and August, the head of the Nigeria’s stock market held a series of pro-Obama fundraisers in Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city. The events attracted local Nigerian business owners. The fundraisers were held by “Africans for Obama” campaign.

Note: Guess what banks in Nigeria attended these fundraisers for Obama?

According to allafrica.com –

“Lagos — Recently, a full paged newspaper advertisement by an organisation, Africans for Obama '08, for a dinner/concert was published.”

“Foreign nationals are allowed to undertake some political actions in the U.S., as long as those actions are not "connected with any election to political office at the federal, state, or local levels." For example, an FEC advisory opinion (the FEC's interpretation of the Federal Election Campaign Act, which it is charged with administering), established that foreign nationals may underwrite issue-oriented ads as long as they do not mention "candidates, political offices, political parties, incumbent federal officeholders or any past or future election."

Dr. (Mrs.) Okereke-Onyuike's open and financial support for the Obama campaign qualifies as a foreign government or corporation's support for a political candidate. This is because she is the head of Nigeria's Stock Exchange, which is affiliated to the Nigerian Government. When the veil is lifted the American people and Government may see the hands of the Central Bank of Nigeria and even the legs of the Federal Government of Nigeria. But we know that there is no such official complicity in this matter. Even if Mrs. Okereke-Onyuike and her Africans for Obama intend to run pro-Obama adverts, they would still be running contrary to the American Laws because foreign nationals may underwrite issue-oriented advertisements as long as they do not mention "candidates, political offices, political parties, incumbent federal officeholders or any past or future election." Barack Obama is a candidate in respect of a future election and any advertisement in his support by non-Americans would be held against him and the campaign organisation.

In addition to the legal issues is the morality of the whole exercise. Is it morally defensible for Dr. (Mrs.) Ndi Okereke-Onyuike, Director-General of the Nigeria Stock Exchange to openly support and canvass for financial support for a politician running for public office? Is it right and proper for the head of the Stock Exchange to support one presidential candidate against another in the United States Presidential elections? The answer to each question is of course NO.”

Ft. Hood, Flight 253 & 9/11 terror attack connection

The White House is keeping the Ft. Hood & Flight 253 investigations “in house” by giving the responsibility to John O. Brennan to minimize (contain the damage that will occur to Obama) the connection that exists between all three plots.

If you recall from the opening of this article, Obama broke his silence to admit that –

“The group "al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula" apparently trained AbdulMutallab, "equipped him with ... explosives and directed him to attack that plane headed for America," Obama said.

According to the dailymail.co.uk -

“It has been suggested that Abdulmutallab was further radicalised while in London and that here he might well have been identified and groomed by Al Qaeda as a potential foot soldier.

Certainly, he was moving in extremist circles. Among the preachers he is thought to have met here is Anwar al-Awlaki, the Yemeni cleric who inspired some of the 9/11 hijackers.

Al-Awlaki was subsequently banned from the UK and is now said to be a commander of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.”

That one person that connects all three plots is the radical Imam Anwar al-Awlaki. We see above that the Imam (according to Obama & the London press) was responsible for the inspiration of three of the 9/11 hijackers as well as the Christmas Day bomber.

According to wikipedia – “Al-Awlaki's sermons were attended by three of the 9/11 hijackers, as well as by accused Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan. In addition, US intelligence intercepted at least 18 emails between Hasan and al-Awlaki from December 2008 to June 2009, including one in which Hasan wrote "I can't wait to join you [in the afterlife]." Directly after the Fort Hood shooting, al-Awlaki praised Hasan's actions on his website, and then again a few days later in an interview. The following month, a number of sources reported ties between al-Awlaki and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the suspect in the Northwest Airlines Flight 253 terrorist attack of December 25, 2009.

Al-Awlaki served as an Imam in Fort Collins, Colorado, and then of the Masjid Ar-Ribat al-Islami mosque in San Diego, California, from 1996-2000. Al-Awlaki was arrested in San Diego in 1996 and 1997 for soliciting prostitutes. In 1998 and 1999 in San Diego, he served as Vice President for the Charitable Society for Social Welfare (CSSW), founded by Abdul Majeed al-Zindani. During a terrorism trial, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent Brian Murphy testified that CSSW was a “front organization to funnel money to terrorists,” and US federal prosecutors have described it as being used to support Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda. The FBI investigated al-Awlaki beginning in June 1999 through March 2000 for possible fundraising for Hamas, links to al-Qaeda, and a visit in early 2000 by a close associate of "the blind sheik" Omar Abdel Rahman (now in prison for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center attack), but was unable to unearth sufficient evidence for a criminal prosecution.

While he was in San Diego, witnesses told the FBI he had a close relationship with two of the 9/11 hijackers (Nawaf Al-Hazmi and Khalid Almihdhar) in 2000, and served as their spiritual advisor. Authorities say the two hijackers regularly attended the mosque Al-Awlaki led in San Diego, and Al-Awlaki had many closed-door meetings with them, which led investigators to believe Al-Awlaki knew about the 9/11 attacks in advance.

In his last positions in the US, he headed east and served as Imam at the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in the metropolitan Washington, DC, area beginning in January 2001, and was also the Muslim Chaplain at George Washington University. Fluent in English, known for giving eloquent talks on Islam, and with a mandate to attract young non-Arabic speakers, "he was the magic bullet," according to mosque spokesman Johari Abdul-Malik; "he had everything all in a box." Shortly after this his sermons were attended by two of the 9/11 hijackers (Al-Hazmi again and Hani Hanjour), and by Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan. The September 11 Commission concluded that two of the hijackers "reportedly respected al-Awlaki as a religious figure". The FBI also learned he may have been contacted by a possible "procurement agent" for Osama bin Laden, Ziyad Khaleel.

When police raided the Hamburg, Germany, apartment of Ramzi Binalshibh (the "20th hijacker") while investigating the 9/11 attacks, his telephone number was found among Binalshibh's personal contact information.

Writing on the IslamOnline.net website six days after the 9/11 attacks, he suggested that Israeli intelligence agents might have been responsible for the attacks, and that the FBI "went into the roster of the airplanes and whoever has a Muslim or Arab name became the hijacker by default." He left the US for Yemen in March 2002, following extensive FBI investigations. Weeks later he posted an essay in Arabic titled "Why Muslims Love Death" on the Islam Today website, praising the Palestinian suicide bombers' fervor, and months later at a lecture in a London mosque that was recorded on videotape he lauded them in English. By July 2002 he was under investigation because a subject of a US Joint Terrorism Task Force (Joint Terrorism Task Forces are FBI-led, multi-agency teams made up of FBI agents, other federal investigators—including those from the Department of Defense, and state and local law enforcement officers) investigation was discovered to have sent money to al-Awlaki, and his name was placed on an early version of what is now the federal terror watch list.”

DHS breach of “TSA Manual” onto internet (twice)

According to sfgate.com, on December 8, 2009 "the Transportation Security Administration inadvertently posted “TSA Screeners Manual” on-line this past spring.

“The 93-page TSA operating manual details procedures for screening passengers and checked baggage, and it reveals technical settings used by X-ray machines and explosives detectors.”

“Current and former U.S. security officials called the breach troubling, saying that it exposed TSA practices that were implemented after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and expanded after the August 2006 disruption of a plot to down transatlantic airliners using liquid explosives.

Stewart Baker, a former assistant secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, said the manual will become a textbook for those seeking to penetrate aviation security and that its loss was serious.”

Then, 8 months later the TSA procedures that were put in place as a result of the first breach were again put onto the internet on the same day as the Christmas bomber.

According to yahoo.com news – “WASHINGTON – As the government reviews how an alleged terrorist was able to bring a bomb onto a U.S.-bound plane and try to blow it up on Christmas Day, the Transportation Security Administration is going after bloggers who wrote about a directive to increase security after the incident.

TSA special agents served subpoenas to travel bloggers Steve Frischling and Chris Elliott, demanding that they reveal who leaked the security directive to them. The government says the directive was not supposed to be disclosed to the public.

Frischling said he met with two TSA special agents Tuesday night at his Connecticut home for about three hours and again on Wednesday morning when he was forced to hand over his lap top computer. Frischling said the agents threatened to interfere with his contract to write a blog for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines if he didn't cooperate and provide the name of the person who leaked the memo.

Note: KLM is the airline the Christmas day bomber purchased his “one-way” ticket in cash from.

TSA is trying to find out who gave these two KLM bloggers the memo on enhanced/changed security measure resulting from the first TSA breach and from within their own ranks.

Note: Review of the “dots”:

1) Flight 253 bomber’s father was the “former Chief of The United Bank of Africa” (Headquartered in Lagos) that was founded by the man (Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour) that was directly responsible for Obama’s admission in Harvard law and Columbia University.

2) Illegal Obama President Campaign fundraisers were held in Lagos.

3) Flight 253 bomber boarded his flight on Christmas Day in Lagos.

4) One way ticket of flight 253 was purchased “in cash” through KLM Airlines.

5) Two KLM airline employees breached TSA security for second time within a one month period by placing the “revised procedure memo” resulting from the first DHS online posting of the entire 93 page procedure manual designed to thwart terrorists from getting onto planes with liquid explosives.

6) Radical Imam was connected to three 9/11 hijackers, Ft. Hood Shooter &Flight 253 bomber.

It will be interesting to see if the FBI will question or investigate the foreign campaign contributions, Obama's relationship with the founder of Bank of Africa and the obvious hiring of people who have zero experience to head the CIA and the Department of Homeland Security.  The attempt to coverup these connection are obvious enough that I can connect the dots when it is our Government's job to do so and has so far failed (since at least 9/11).

The “lone wolf” has an accomplice!

Christmas day bomber wasn’t the only one arrested!


Barack Obama made his statement that the man attempting to blow up an American airliner, on American soil was not part of a “larger plot” that he was acting alone.

Now, we have witnesses who have come forward to say that when they were sequestered in an area by the FBI after being removed from the plane when it landed that a second man in that group was arrested.

The FBI said in a later news statement that the man was not on the flight with the Christmas day bomber, but another flight and arrested for other reasons.

Hogwash says passengers from the bomb attempt plane. World Net Daily reports –

“Following the foiled terrorist attack, Haskell said passengers were corralled into a small, evacuated luggage claim area of an airport terminal. Then, he says, bomb-sniffing dogs were brought in.

"During this time period, all of the passengers had their carry-on bags with them," he wrote in a posting on MLive.com. "When the bomb sniffing dogs arrived, one dog found something in a carry-on bag of a 30-ish Indian man."

The man in orange, who stood some 20ft away from me the entire time until he was taken away, was immediately taken away to be searched and interrogated in a nearby room," Haskell explained. "At this time, he was not handcuffed. When he emerged from the room, he was then handcuffed and taken away."

Immediately after the questioning, Haskell said an FBI agent approached the remaining passengers and, referring to the man in orange, said, "You all are being moved to another area because this area is not safe. I am sure many of you saw what just happened and are smart enough to read between the lines and figure it out."

A second passenger, Daniel Huisinga of Fairview, Tenn., who was returning from an internship in Kenya, confirmed the account.

Haskell said authorities marched the remaining passengers out of the baggage claim area and into a long hallway.

"This entire time period and until we left customs, no person that wasn't a law enforcement personnel or a passenger on our flight was allowed anywhere on our floor of the terminal (or possibly the entire terminal)," he wrote. "The FBI was so concerned during this time that we were not allowed to use the bathroom unless we went alone with an FBI agent. We were not allowed to eat or drink, or text or call anyone."

Ron Smith, chief Customs and Border Protection officer in the Detroit office, told the newspaper, "There was a second person taken into custody, but it had nothing to do with Flight 253. They did see dogs, but again, it was a totally different incident."

But Haskell stands by his story, claiming officials are "playing the American public for a fool." He said their explanation would require the public to believe the following:

• FBI and Customs officials allowed passengers from a separate flight to co-mingle with the passengers of Flight 253 during a critical investigation. Haskell insists that no one – aside from law enforcement and Flight 253 passengers – was allowed in the area while they were being detained.

• Despite prohibiting passengers from drinking, eating, making calls and using the restrooms, FBI and Customs officials allowed people from other flights to "trample through the area and possibly contaminate evidence."

• Haskell also added that no flights during that time allowed passengers to exit from the planes. The planes were held on the runway during the first hour of the detention period.

• "You have to believe that the man that stood 20 feet from me since we entered customs came from a mysterious plane that never landed, let its passengers off the plane and let this man sneak into our passenger group despite having extremely tight security at this time," he added.

• He said the public would be required to believe FBI and Customs officials were "hauling mysterious passengers from other flights through the area we were being held to possibly contaminate evidence and allow discussions with suspects on Flight 253 or to possibly allow the exchange of bombs, weapons or other devices between the mysterious passengers from other flights and those on flight 253."

"Seriously, Mr. Ron Smith, how stupid do you think the American public is?" he wrote.

The cover-up is already starting just as in the Ft. Hood incident. This Administration is so inept in its fight against terror and equally as so in its attempted containment of the facts surrounding them. We were promised a report from John Brennan, by Obama on 11/30/09 for the preliminary findings of Ft. Hood and have yet to see or hear a thing as a result. The Obama Administrations policy of ending the “war on terror” and shifting to a law enforcement mode will only enable a bungling bunch of jihadi’s to succeed next time.
