Iran Trolls America Over "Racist And Inhumane Treatment"
of Ferguson Protesters

This is how Iran deals with protesters:

Via Iran's state-run media:
The Iranian Foreign Ministry called on the US administration and judiciary officials to stop police brutality and racist and inhumane treatment of minorities and colored populations in the country.

"The US administration has continuously criticized other countries and made an instrumental use of human rights and adopted double-standard criteria in the last few decades, while it has ignored domestic situation at home," Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham said on Sunday.

She stressed the necessity for the US administration to show respect for human rights and set aside its politically-tainted view on the issue.

"It is expected from the US administration and judiciary to comply with their duty and take lawful and just actions in dealing with their citizens and stop the practice of racism and inhumane behavior," Afkham said.

British Moonbats Hold "I Can't Breathe" Die-In Inside London
Mall Over Death Of Eric Garner In New York

(I believe we have a new global fad... I think I'll get a "I Can't Breathe" T-shirt for when I have my upper GI endoscopy at the end of this month)

Via HuffPo:
Hundreds of demonstrators staged a die-in inside the Westfield Mall, West London, on Wednesday, despite being banned from the building. Protesters had been warned they would not be allowed on the premises, but many moved into the shopping centre ahead of the protest, awaiting the signal for the demonstration to start.

According to Channel 4 News, the protest was organised by campaign group London Black Revs, who staged a similar protest earlier this month outside the US Embassy in London over the grand jury decision not to indict a police officer for the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Wednesday's event was held in solidarity with US protesters, who in recent weeks have marched to condemn the death of Eric Garner by New York police officer Daniel Pantaleo, an incident that has sparked a wave of discontent across the US mainland.

The protesters, many armed with placards, chanted "no justice, no peace" and "we can't breathe" during the die-in, a nod to the final words uttered by the prostrate Garner. The protesters then played dead, mimicking the demonstrations held across New York in recent days.Speaking to The Guardian, 21-year-old Wail Qasim, a student taking part in the protest, said: "People were obviously very angry about the situation in the US, because it's reached a critical point. But it's also a problem here in the UK – it's an international problem which needs to be addressed."

Chester, SC Father Calls For Firing Of Black Police Chief
After Guns Pulled On His Black Sons In A Black Gang Activity Neighborhood

(Police erred on the side of caution in an area noted for gang activity when the teens failed to stop after lights and siren were activated...)

The father of black scholar-athlete twins is calling for the firing of Chester Police Chief Andre Williams after the chief pulled over his sons, and officers drew guns on and handcuffed the teens during a traffic stop on known gang turf.

It's the first skirmish in Chester County's police war on gangs that has boiled over since the Nov. 4 drive-by shooting death of City Councilman Odell Williams. Five alleged gang members were charged in connection with the shooting.

The incident comes amid national protests and concerns about how police deal with black men.

And on Monday night, more than 100 people crowded into Chester City Hall, where Carlos Williams, father of the twins, spoke to the Chester City Council about what happened and his concerns with Chief Williams' leadership of the police department.

What is clear is that Chief Williams, who is black, pulled over Cardan Williams, 16, who was driving with his brother Caymen, 16, at about 8:20 p.m. Nov. 21. Andre Williams is not related to the Williams twins or to Odell Williams, and the Williams twins are not related to Odell Williams.

What is in dispute is the manners Chief Williams and other officers used during the stop in a Chester neighborhood known to police as "E-block" gang territory.

The Rev. Ina Harris, the pastor at Chestnut Grove AME Zion Church, where Carlos Williams and his sons attend, told the council that the police and city owe the teens an apology because they were "judged by the color of their skin."

Carlos Williams, 39, is a Marine Corps veteran who grew up in the neighborhood where the traffic stop happened. He said his sons did not have an opportunity to pull over after realizing the police's blue lights were for them and not for another traffic stop that was going on nearby. After they did pull over, he said they were shocked to see that officers had drawn their weapons. He estimated the distance the boys drove after seeing the blue lights as 250 feet.

Canon City, Colorado Suspect Accused Of Stabbing Officer
Showed Interest In Terrorism

(Another smokey doped Colorado convert since marijuana was legalized...)

A man accused of stabbing a police officer after robbing a gun supply store recently became interested the Islamic terrorist movement, authorities have revealed.

"For the last couple of months he has been working out a lot and he has been visiting Islamic websites and other types of websites described to us as Jihadist in nature," Canon City Police Chief Paul Schultz said. The suspect's family said he had been making "Islamic-type statements," Schultz added.

Saturday afternoon, investigators say suspect Hudson Taylor Clark, 32, tried to steal a handgun from Victory Defense on the 2800 block of E. Main St. He ended up running off with other merchandise. When Cpl. Sanders tried to stop him a few blocks away, Clark allegedly attacked him with an 8-inch knife.

"Without saying anything, he stabbed Cpl. Sanders under the left arm...then continued to encroach upon him. Sanders told him to stop; he did not stop, he continued to encroach upon Sanders with the knife," Schultz said.

Sanders then shot Clark five times. Clark fell to the ground, but never lost consciousness.

"He continued make comments...next to him was the Quran, which fell out onto the ground, and during the first aid situation he did ask for the Quran," Schultz said.

11 News found the suspect's YouTube channel where he posted just a two-minute-long video of himself one week ago. In the video, Clark declares that Allah is his God and he practices Islam. At the end of the video, he says Allah told him that he [Clark] is Jesus.

On a cached Twitter page, there's more evidence of what appears to be the suspect's interest in Islam and links to a blog that's been removed.

11 News contacted anti-terrorism expert Joe Ruffini to inquire about Clark's case, Ruffini says that Clark and others like him are an easy target for recruiters, as they're loners with few connections. Authorities have described Clark as not having any friends or a job, and say he had also been showing a great deal of angst following a recent breakup.

"Allegedly this gentleman, Clark, his mother reported him as being a little bit mentally disturbed. [Those that sometimes turn to terrorism] are searching for something, they're reaching out, and occasionally some of these folks will turn to the bad side," Ruffini said.

Wanted Al Qaeda Terrorist Crossed Back And Forth Into
United States From Mexico... Now Dead As A Doornail

Via Judicial Watch:
http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2014/12/al-qaeda-terrorist-wanted-fbi-crossed-back-forth-u-s-mexico/

An Al Qaeda terrorist on the FBI's most wanted list for years crossed back and forth into the United States from Mexico to meet fellow militant Islamists in Texas and piloted an aircraft into the Cielo Dorado airfield in Anthony, New Mexico, law enforcement sources tell Judicial Watch.

The same Al Qaeda operative helped plan the 2009 bombing of talk-show superstar Oprah Winfrey's Chicago studios and the iconic Sears Tower (renamed Willis Tower), a story that Judicial Watch broke just last week. His name is Adnan G. El Shukrijumah (also known as "Javier Robles") and over the weekend he was killed in Pakistan, according to military officials in the Islamic republic.

In 2010 Shukrijumah was indicted in the Eastern District of New York for his role in a terrorist plot to attack targets in the United States—including New York City's subway system—and the United Kingdom, according the FBI. The plot against New York City's subway system was directed by senior Al Qaeda leadership in Pakistan, the FBI says, and was also directly related to a scheme by Al Qaeda plotters in Pakistan to use Western operatives to attack a target in the United States.

Oprah Targeted in Foiled Terror Bomb Plot

DECEMBER 01, 2014

The Chicago studios of talk-show superstar Oprah Winfrey and the iconic "Sears Tower" (renamed Willis Tower) were the targets of a terrorist truck-bomb plot in 2009.  But initially unbeknownst to federal authorities, two of the conspirators recently were arrested for unrelated state crimes in different parts of the country.  The alleged bombers targeted Ms. Winfrey's Harpo Studios because they resented her popularity and power, while the tower was selected because of its obvious landmark status.  The bomb plot itself, planned in 2009, was inspired by militant Islamist hatred of American military involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq, according to law enforcement and other sources interviewed by Judicial Watch.

Sources requested anonymity for fear of reprisal by terrorist bomb-plotter associates, as well as retaliation from embarrassed federal law enforcement agents who apparently mismanaged the subsequent counterterrorism case.

The alleged bomb plotters were based in El Paso, Texas and included two longtime friends and associates currently jailed for recent state crimes. They are:
•Emad Karakrah, currently held in Cook County, Illinois Jail on charges of making a false car bomb threat after leading police on a high-speed chase through Chicago with an ISIS flag waving from his car on August 28, 2014.  Karakrah's last appearance in Cook County criminal court was on December 3, 2014 before Judge Evelyn Clay. The prosecutor said she was waiting on a report to tender discovery and the case got continued to January 7, 2015. In a previous court hearing in mid-November the prosecutor disclosed that she was "looking for an FBI report." It is not clear why Karakrah is not in federal custody pending terrorism charges.

•Hector Pedroza Huerta is an illegal alien currently held in the El Paso County Jail. On August 13, Huerta was arrested in El Paso for driving intoxicated, a crime he has been twice convicted of (in 2009 and 2011). The feds quickly took over, charging him for the third time in five years with "reentry of a deported alien," court records show. A federal magistrate judge granted the government's order to hold Huerta without bond on August 19 and a few weeks later Huerta pleaded not guilty to the immigration charges, according to court records obtained by JW.  But on October 7 Huerta was granted a "rearraignment" that ended up getting reset to October 9.  At that "rearraignment" the illegal alien changed his plea to guilty, court records show. He is scheduled for sentencing on December 16 at 9 a.m. in Courtroom 422 at the U.S. District Courthouse in El Paso.  Like his friend, Karakrah, it is unclear why Huerta is not facing federal conspiracy charges associated with the Chicago bomb plot.  U.S. District Court Judge Frank Montalvo, handling Huerta's sentencing, had previously presided over one of Huerta's prior immigration cases (in 2009);
Judicial Watch sources detail that the other conspirators in the 2009 Chicago truck bomb plot are:

•"Omar," a male in his late-50s to early-60s, of Arabic ethnicity, who drove a taxi and had an ownership interest in a used car dealership and a gas station in suburban El Paso;

•Two of the FBI's "most wanted" terrorists: Jaber A. Elbaneh and Adnan Gulshair el Shukrijumah (a/k/a: "Javier Robles"); and,

•Other, unidentified conspirators.

The plot called for the use of a U-Haul-style trailer, as well as a delivery-style "step van," that was purchased at auction in El Paso, Texas.  Sources say the bombs were constructed with the plastic explosive C-4 and Tannerite, a binary explosive of ammonium nitrate and aluminum designed for detonation by means of a high-velocity firearms cartridge.  Officials believe the C-4 explosives were obtained from Fort Bliss, the sprawling US Army base in El Paso, and the Tannerite was brought into the United States from Mexico.Federal law enforcement officials and Illinois police reportedly interdicted the bombers before they arrived in Chicago, according to sources with knowledge of the investigation.  It is not clear if federal law enforcement officials were entirely successful in exploiting intelligence opportunities presented by the foiled bomb plot.

Subsequently, two foiled bomb plots in Chicago were orchestrated by undercover FBI agents posing as terrorist co-conspirators: The 2010 Wrigley Field backpack bombing attempted by Sami Samir Hassoun; and a 2012 Jeep-bomb attempt by Adel Daoud.

On Wednesday, November 5, 2014, a 27-year-old Florida man, Sami Osmakac, was sentenced to 40 years in federal prison after being convicted of taking part in a foiled bomb plot that targeted a popular Tampa bar and a hotel-casino.  During Osmakac's trial, federal prosecutors presented evidence that in 2012 Osmakac, a U.S. citizen born in Kosovo, arranged to buy weapons such as a car bomb, machine gun and grenades to target crowded locations in Tampa.

While the FBI elected to publicize and take credit for the two, foiled Chicago and Tampa bomb plots, the Bureau has never released information on the 2009 targeting of Oprah, or explained why it has allowed conspirators to languish in county jails on lesser charges.

Judicial Watch contacted the FBI and Department of Justice several times seeking comment on the alleged 2009 bomb plot targeting Ms. Winfrey, her studios and the Willis Tower – as well as the prosecutions of Mr. Karakrah and Mr. Pedroza-Huerta.  The FBI and Department of Justice failed to return our calls for comment.

Some people say "If you can't beat them, join them."  I say "If you can't beat them, beat them", because they will be expecting you to join them, so you will have the element of surprise.

The only reason that Ronald Reagan signed the first amnesty bill back in 1986 wasn't really because the Democratic Congress promised to build a fence at the border. After all, he'd been around when the Democrats reneged on the promise made to Nixon that if he agreed to pull the troops out of Vietnam, they would continue to arm and fund the South Vietnamese. He did, and naturally they didn't.

The real reason Reagan signed the amnesty bill is because American business always wants the cheapest labor it can get its hands on. In the short term, it probably looks like a good deal all around. After all, the price of labor is always passed along to the consumer. However, in the long run it's a bad deal because most of those people are low wage earners, and the American citizen is eventually going to be stuck with the tab for their housing, health care, food stamps, schooling and, far too often, incarceration. In the end, we're all a lot better off paying an extra few cents for a head of lettuce or a few extra bucks for a meal.

But as bad as low-cost labor has been for America, I dare say it's even worse in Europe, where the interlopers tend to be Muslims, a group of people notorious for their refusal to acclimate, to accept the laws, let alone the culture and traditions of the nations they contaminate. They are the reason that virtually every capital city on the Continent has been turned into a pig sty. In London, rarely a week goes by when the Muslims aren't demonstrating in the streets, displaying their contempt for their host nation and everything she has come to represent, including freedom, the arts and religious tolerance.

America, which used to be the land of the free and the home of the brave, has morphed into a place where political correctness has turned most people into whimpering cowards. In spite of the First Amendment, most TV pundits were afraid to even mention that Trayvon Martin was a drug-dealing six-footer or that 300-pound Michael Brown was a thief and a bully who just happened to be high on marijuana when he confronted Officer Darren Wilson.

These days, we aren't even supposed to hold the mothers and occasional fathers of criminals even partially responsible for the end result. On the contrary, we're expected to treat the parents of teenage thugs with the same respect and deference that we bestow on the parents of military warriors who forfeit their lives for their country.

But, then, for the past 13 years, we have had two presidents, Dumb and Dumber, insisting that Islam is a religion of peace. As hard as it was to swallow that swill from George W. Bush, it has gotten far worse under his successor. It was Obama, after all, who not only announced with a straight face that Muslims played a major role in the creation of the United States, but that they were an essential part of our space exploration program. I suppose that last point has some merit. After all, if I were a NASA scientist, I'd have a real incentive to break the bounds of gravity, knowing that I and millions of others hoped and prayed that other planets could support human life. The reason being that it would provide an opportunity to leave the one that's home to 1.2 billion Muslims.

In the meantime, Barack Obama tries in vain to defuse public anger over his despotic decision to legislate from the Oval Office. His latest attempt took place in Chicago, where he announced yet again that our immigration policy has to be overhauled. The difference was that this time he said it wasn't merely to accommodate multi-millions of illegal Hispanics, but because there are plenty of people from Poland and Ireland who are in this country illegally.

I used to gag every time Obama opened his mouth. Lately, though, I've been doing a lot more head scratching. Poland and Ireland are the basis of the problem? Was it possible that the sly puss was trying to woo members of those two major ethnic groups? Instead of demanding that the President abide by his constitutional limitations, were Irish and Polish Americans supposed to say to themselves, "Hey, if the son of a gun can prevent five million Latinos from being deported, maybe he'll keep my uncle from being sent back to (Warsaw) (Dublin) after he gets out of jail"?

Finally, I don't know what you call it when Barack Obama pardons a Thanksgiving turkey, but I call it professional courtesy.

Yellowstone Supervolcano Alert: The Most Dangerous Volcano In America Is Roaring To Life

By Michael Snyder

Right now, the ground underneath Yellowstone National Park is rising at a record rate.  In fact, it is rising at the rate of about three inches per year.  The reason why this is such a concern is because underneath the park sits the Yellowstone supervolcano – the largest volcano in North America.  Scientists tell us that it is inevitable that it will erupt again one day, and when it does the devastation will be almost unimaginable.  A full-blown eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano would dump a 10 foot deep layer of volcanic ash up to 1,000 miles away, and it would render much of the United States uninhabitable.  When most Americans think of Yellowstone, they tend to conjure up images of Yogi Bear and "Old Faithful", but the truth is that sleeping underneath Yellowstone is a volcanic beast that could destroy our nation in a single day and now that beast is starting to wake up.

The Yellowstone supervolcano is so vast that it is hard to put it into words.  According to the Daily Mail, the magma "hotspot" underneath Yellowstone is approximately 300 miles wide...

The Yellowstone Caldera is one of nature's most awesome creations and sits atop North America's largest volcanic field.

Its name means 'cooking pot' or 'cauldron' and it is formed when land collapses following a volcanic explosion.

In Yellowstone, some 400 miles beneath the Earth's surface is a magma 'hotspot' which rises to 30 miles underground before spreading out over an area of 300 miles across.

Atop this, but still beneath the surface, sits the slumbering volcano.When most Americans think of volcanic eruptions in the United States, they remember the catastrophic eruption of Mount St. Helens back in 1980.  But that eruption would not even be worth comparing to a full-blown eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano.

And now the area around Yellowstone is becoming increasingly seismically active.  In fact, Professor Bob Smith says that he has never seen anything like this in the 53 years that he has been watching Yellowstone...
Until recently, Bob Smith had never witnessed two simultaneous earthquake swarms in his 53 years of monitoring seismic activity in and around the Yellowstone Caldera.

Now, Smith, a University of Utah geophysics professor, has seen three swarms at once.

In September, 130 earthquakes hit Yellowstone over the course of a single week.  This has got many Yellowstone observers extremely concerned...
Yellowstone's recent earthquake swarms started on Sept. 10 and were shaking until about 11:30 a.m. Sept. 16.

"A total of 130 earthquakes of magnitude 0.6 to 3.6 have occurred in these three areas, however, most have occurred in the Lower Geyser Basin," a University of Utah statement said. "Notably much of seismicity in Yellowstone occurs as swarms."

So what is the worst case scenario?

Well, according to the Daily Mail, a full-blown eruption of Yellowstone could leave two-thirds of the United States completely uninhabitable...
It would explode with a force a thousand times more powerful than the Mount St Helens eruption in 1980.

Spewing lava far into the sky, a cloud of plant-killing ash would fan out and dump a layer 10ft deep up to 1,000 miles away.

Two-thirds of the U.S. could become uninhabitable as toxic air sweeps through it, grounding thousands of flights and forcing millions to leave their homes.
Can you think of another potential disaster that could accomplish the same thing?

That is why what is going on at Yellowstone right now is so important, and the American people deserve the truth.  The following are some more facts about Yellowstone that I compiled that I included in a previous article...
#1 A full-scale eruption of Yellowstone could be up to 1,000 time more powerful than the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980.

#2 A full-scale eruption of Yellowstone would spew volcanic ash 25 miles up into the air.

#3 The next eruption of Yellowstone seems to be getting closer with each passing year.  Since 2004, some areas of Yellowstone National Park have risen by as much as 10 inches.

#4 There are approximately 3,000 earthquakes in the Yellowstone area every single year.

#5 In the event of a full-scale eruption of Yellowstone, virtually the entire northwest United States will be completely destroyed.

#6 A massive eruption of Yellowstone would mean that just about everything within a 100 mile radius of Yellowstone would be immediately killed.

#7 A full-scale eruption of Yellowstone could also potentially dump a layer of volcanic ash that is at least 10 feet deep up to 1,000 miles away.

#8 A full-scale eruption of Yellowstone would cover virtually the entire midwest United States with volcanic ash.  Food production in America would be almost totally wiped out.

#9 The "volcanic winter" that a massive Yellowstone eruption would cause would radically cool the planet.  Some scientists believe that global temperatures would decline by up to 20 degrees.

#10 America would never be the same again after a massive Yellowstone eruption.  Some scientists believe that a full eruption by Yellowstone would render two-thirds of the United States completely uninhabitable.

#11 Scientists tell us that it is not a matter of "if" Yellowstone will erupt but rather "when" the next inevitable eruption will take place.

What makes all of this even more alarming is that a number of other very prominent volcanoes around the world are starting to roar back to life right now as well.

For example, an Inquisitr article from back in July described how "the most dangerous volcano in Mexico" is starting to become extremely active...
Popocatepetl Volcano is at it again. The active volcano near Mexico City erupted again this morning, spewing ash up into the sky.

The volcano is currently in the middle of an extremely active phase. According to the International Business Times, the volcano has registered 39 exhalations in the last 24 hours.

An eruption earlier this month caused several flights to be canceled in and out of Mexico City.

The BBC notes that officials raised the alert level yellow following Popocateptl's eruption on Saturday morning. Yellow is the third-highest caution level on the city's seven step scale.

And an NBC News article from August noted that one of the most dangerous volcanoes in Japan has erupted 500 times so far this year...
Ash wafted as high as 3 miles above the Sakurajima volcano in the southern city of Kagoshima on Sunday afternoon, forming its highest plume since the Japan Meteorological Agency started keeping records in 2006. Lava flowed just over half a mile from the fissure, and several huge volcanic rocks rolled down the mountainside.

Though the eruption was more massive than usual, residents of the city of about 600,000 are used to hearing from their 3,664-foot neighbor. Kagoshima officials said in a statement that this was Sakurajima's 500th eruption this year alone.

So what does all of this mean?

Are we now entering a time when volcanic eruptions will become much more common all over the globe?

Could we rapidly be approaching the day when an absolutely devastating volcanic eruption will paralyze much of North America?
