Mosque Boston Bombers Attended Has Ties
To Radical Islamists, Jihadists

(But increasing surveillance at mosques like this is "ridiculous"
according to "ridiculous whiner" Congressman Keith Ellison [D MN-05]
who professes to be a muslim)

.

The mosque attended by the two brothers accused in the Boston Marathon bombing has been associated with other terrorist suspects, has invited radical speakers to a sister mosque in Boston and is affiliated with a Muslim group that critics say nurses grievances that can lead to extremism.

Several people who attended the Islamic Society of Boston mosque in Cambridge, Mass., have been investigated for Islamic terrorism, including a conviction of the mosque's first president, Abdulrahman Alamoudi, in connection with an assassination plot against a Saudi prince.

And its sister mosque in Boston, known as the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center, has invited guests who have defended terror suspects. A former trustee appears in a series of videos in which he advocates treating gays as criminals, says husbands should sometimes beat their wives and calls on Allah (God) to kill Zionists and Jews, according to Americans for Peace and Tolerance, an interfaith group that has investigated the mosques.

[...]

The FBI has not indicated that either mosque was involved in any criminal activity. But mosque attendees and officials have been implicated in terrorist activity.


• Abdulrahman Alamoudi, who signed the articles of incorporation as the Cambridge mosque's president, was sentenced to 23 years in federal court in Alexandria, Va., in 2004 for his role as a facilitator in what federal prosecutors called a Libyan assassination plot against then-Saudi crown prince Abdullah. Abdullah is now the Saudi king.

"Aafia Siddiqui is shown after her graduation from Massachusetts Institute of Technology."

• Aafia Siddiqui, who occasionally prayed at the Cambridge mosque, was arrested in Afghanistan in 2008 while in possession of cyanide canisters and plans for a chemical attack in New York City. She tried to grab a rifle while in detention and shot at military officers and FBI agents, for which she was convicted in New York in 2010 and is serving an 86-year sentence.

(We educate these jihadist and then they turn around and try to blow us up... time to send them ALL back to the sandbox)

"The 2009 booking photo of Tarek Mehanna, of Sudbury, Mass."

• Tarek Mehanna, who worshiped at the Cambridge mosque, was sentenced in 2012 to 17 years in prison for conspiring to aid al-Qaeda. Mehanna had traveled to Yemen to seek terrorist training and plotted to use automatic weapons to shoot up a mall in the Boston suburbs, federal investigators in Boston alleged.


• Ahmad Abousamra, the son of a former vice president of the Muslim American Society Boston Abdul-Badi Abousamra, was identified by the FBI as Mehanna's co-conspirator. He fled to Syria and is wanted by the FBI on charges of providing support to terrorists and conspiracy to kill Americans in a foreign country.


• Jamal Badawi of Canada, a former trustee of the Islamic Society of Boston Trust, which owns both mosques, was named as a non-indicted co-conspirator in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation terrorism trial in Texas over the funneling of money to Hamas, which is the Palestinian wing of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Pinocchio-hontas: Liz Warren's pathetic lies

Disgraceful... Demorats Fundraise Off of Victims of Boston Bombings

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/pinocchio_hontas_IclJ3TDydeWlVZddc3LuIJ

Tuesday – Democrats sent out their Boston bombing fundraising letter.
This one was from the "Sacaja-whiner" minority Senator Elizabeth Warren.



RNC Chairman Reince Preibus called these efforts by Democrats to capitalize on the Boston bombing "disgraceful" and in poor taste.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev Eyed in Connection to Gruesome 2011 Triple Murder on 9-11-12

Update: The Victims Were Jews 

WHOA!... Zubeidat Tsarnaeva Tells CNN: "I Don't Care if My Youngest Son Is Killed. I Don't Care If I Am Killed. I Will Say Allahu Akbar!"

April 24, 2013, 12:09 AM

Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, the mother of Boston Marathon bombers Tamerlan and Tzhokhar Tsarnaevso, made these shocking statements on CNN tonight:

"If they are going to kill him. I don't care. My oldest sone is killed, so I don't care. I don't care if my youngest son is going to be killed today. I want the world to hear this. And, I don't care if I am going to get killed too. And I will say Allahu Akbar!"

                                       

Are we all clear on that motive now?

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the 26-year-old Boston bomber, called his mother before the shootout with police – and before his brother dragged him down the street under the car.[/b]

If you didn't see this Sunday, here is your chance to watch it.
"1984" is almost a reality! 


Sunday, April 14 at 9 p.m. ET
Hosted by John Roberts

Every step we take, every move we make, "Big Data" is watching us.

Our computers, phones and countless other devices are generating long trails of electronic data -- information that can be stored and analyzed who-knows-where for who-knows-what by who-knows-who.

When our lives can be retrieved at the stroke of a key, what happens to privacy? Does the government become too powerful? Could our traditional freedoms be threatened and do we care?

This weekend, Fox News delves into the world of daily data and examines stories that would have seemed entirely unconnected only a few years ago:

Government whistleblowers fretting about a mysterious new spy center in the Utah desert.

A Massachusetts teacher instructing grade-schoolers on what not to do with an iPhone.

A new breed of political operatives leading an unprecedented get-out-the-vote effort.

A California entrepreneur trying to mine data from social networking sites.

In today's world, it all ties together. And in 'Fox News Reporting: Your Secret's Out' we're connecting the dots.

MSNBC STINKS...

For years, NewsBusters has argued that MSNBC is not a news network.

Americans appear to agree, for last week as our nation was rocked by bombings in Boston and a fertilizer plant explosion near Waco, Texas, relatively few citizens turned to MSNBC for information about these horrific events.

TVByTheNumbers.com shared data Friday (through Thursday):
http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2013/04/19/fnc-is-the-most-watched-cable-news-channel-for-boston-bombing-coverage-among-total-viewers/178854/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Tvbythenumbers+%28TVbytheNumbers%29


4-DAY AVERAGE TOTAL DAY

FNC: 1,647,000 total viewers (421,000 in the demo)

CNN: 1,048,000 total viewers (403,000 in the demo)

MSNBC: 515,000 total viewers (162,000 in the demo)


So MSNBC garnered roughly one third the total day viewers of Fox, and half of CNN.

The station also got trounced in the all important demographic of 25-54 year olds and demolished in primetime.

As NewsBusters reported last month, the Pew Research Center found that fully 85 percent of MSNBC's reports are commentary and not news.

Apparently Americans agree with this assessment and choose not to watch MSNBC when they're looking for real information about breaking news events.

Maybe it's time cable and satellite television providers realized this and took appropriate action by moving MSNBC away from real news channels in their station guides.

4-DAY AVERAGE PRIMETIME:

FNC: 2,783,000 total viewers (682,000 in the demo)

CNN: 1,619,000 total viewers (674,000 in the demo)

MSNBC: 975,000 total viewers (333,000 in the demo)

Liberals love to make the case that MSNBC is the left-wing version of Fox News.

Not according to a new Pew Research Center study that found MSNBC to be by far the most opinionated cable news channel in America:

Traditionally known for its attention to breaking news, daytime cable's cuts in live event coverage and its growing reliance on interviews suggest it may be moving more toward the talk-oriented evening shows. This transition may cut the costs of having a crew and correspondent provide live event coverage.

CNN, which has branded itself around reporting resources and reach, cut back between 2007 and 2012 on two areas tied to that brand—in-depth story packages and live event coverage. Even so, CNN is the only one of the three big cable news channels to produce more straight reporting than commentary over all. At the other end of that spectrum lies MSNBC, where opinion fills a full 85% of the channel's airtime.




So at MSNBC, only 15 percent of air time is actually devoted to straight news reporting. At Fox it's 45 percent.

As such, 85 percent of the time, MSNBC viewers are being pummeled with far-left opinions by commentators that either also work for the Nation magazine or share the opinions of those that do.

Forbes Monday noted a financial reason for this:

Not coincidentally, MSNBC also spends by far the least producing its news: some $240 million in 2012, according to an estimate by SNL Kagan. CNN spent $682 million, while Fox led the pack with an outlay of $820 million.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffbercovici/2013/03/18/pew-study-finds-msnbc-the-most-opinionated-cable-news-channel-by-far/

So Fox spends almost 3 1/2 times as much on news production as MSNBC. Any wonder why there isn't much news to be found at this NBC "news" division?

As I've said many times before, it's a farce for MSNBC to be considered a news organization and to be placed in the proximity of CNN and Fox on cable guides.

It's an Obama World... White House Pays Recruiters
to Sign Up People for Food Stamps

There is a plan from uber leftists Cloward and Piven to overwhelm the system so that it collapses.  Obuma seems to be making it work as food stamp use has almost doubled under his administration and now they are running radio ads to encourage people to sign up for food stamps and even making Spanish soap operas to push the program.  Did you VOTE for this Traitor


The Washington Post reported: 

http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/in-florida-a-food-stamp-recruiter-deals-with-wrenching-choices/2013/04/23/b3d6b41c-a3a4-11e2-9c03-6952ff305f35_print.html

A good recruiter needs to be liked, so Dillie Nerios filled gift bags with dog toys for the dog people and cat food for the cat people. She packed crates of cookies, croissants, vegetables and fresh fruit. She curled her hair and painted her nails fluorescent pink. "A happy, it's-all-good look," she said, checking her reflection in the rearview mirror. Then she drove along the Florida coast to sign people up for food stamps.

Her destination on a recent morning was a 55-and-over community in central Florida, where single-wide trailers surround a parched golf course. On the drive, Nerios, 56, reviewed techniques she had learned for connecting with some of Florida's most desperate senior citizens during two years on the job. Touch a shoulder. Hold eye contact. Listen for as long as it takes. "Some seniors haven't had anyone to talk to in some time," one of the state-issued training manuals reads. "Make each person feel like the only one who matters."

In fact, it is Nerios's job to enroll at least 150 seniors for food stamps each month, a quota she usually exceeds. Alleviate hunger, lessen poverty: These are the primary goals of her work. But the job also has a second and more controversial purpose for cash-strapped Florida, where increasing food-stamp enrollment has become a means of economic growth, bringing almost $6 billion each year into the state. The money helps to sustain communities, grocery stores and food producers. It also adds to rising federal entitlement spending and the U.S. debt.

Nerios prefers to think of her job in more simple terms: "Help is available," she tells hundreds of seniors each week. "You deserve it. So, yes or no?"

In Florida and everywhere else, the answer in 2013 is almost always yes. A record 47 million Americans now rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps, available for people with annual incomes below about $15,000. The program grew during the economic collapse because 10 million more Americans dropped into poverty. It has continued to expand four years into the recovery because state governments and their partner organizations have become active promoters, creating official "SNAP outreach plans" and hiring hundreds of recruiters like Nerios.

A decade ago, only about half of eligible Americans chose to sign up for food stamps. Now that number is 75 percent.

Congressman: 'Five Jihadists Have Reached Their Targets
in the United States Under Barack Obama'

(And of course the main stream media gives Obuma a free pass)

Rep. Tom Cotton (R-AR) April 24, 2013:
"I rise today to express grave doubts about the Obama administration's counterterrorism policies and programs. Counterterrorism is often shrouded in secrecy, as it should be, so let us judge by the results. In barely four years in office, five Jihadists have reached their targets in the United States under Barack Obama: the Boston Marathon bomber, the underwear bomber, the Times Square Bomber, the Fort Hood shooter, and in my own state—the Little Rock recruiting office shooter. In the seven years after 9/11 under George W. Bush, how many terrorists reached their target in the United States? Zero! We need to ask "why is the Obama administration failing in its mission to stop terrorism before it reaches its targets in the United States."

CIA Wanted Boston Bomber On Terrorist Watch List

(Time to cross reference the watch list with the welfare list)

From Washington Post:
(U.S. counterterrorism agency - http://www.nctc.gov/)

The CIA asked the main U.S. counterterrorism agency to add the name of one of the suspected Boston Marathon bombers to a watch list more than a year before the attack, according to U.S. officials.

The agency took the step after Russian authorities contacted officials there in the fall of 2011 and raised concerns that Tamerlan Tsarnaev — who was killed last week in a confrontation with police — was seen as an increasingly radical Islamist and could be planning to travel overseas. The CIA requested that his name be put on a database maintained by the National Counterterrorism Center.

That database, the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment, or TIDE, is a data storehouse that feeds a series of government watch lists, including the FBI's main Terrorist Screening Database and the Transportation Security Administration's "no-fly" list.

Officials said Tsarnaev's name was added to the database but it's unclear which agency added it.

The CIA's request came months after the FBI had closed a preliminary inquiry into Tsarnaev after getting a similar inquiry about him from Russian state security, according to officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter.

The new disclosure suggests that the U.S. government may have had more reason than previously known to scrutinize Tsarnaev in the months leading up to the bombings in Boston.

Obamacare Gets a Makeover, and You're Paying for It

By  Reince Priebus
April 24, 2013 10:11 AM

(Borderline criminal)

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/346507/obamacare-gets-makeover-and-you%E2%80%99re-paying-it

In the three years since President Obama signed Obamacare into law, Democrats have failed to convince the majority of Americans that the law was actually a good idea. As its full implementation date draws near, the Obama administration is desperate to change that. So they've awarded a $14 million contract to a major public-relations firm to run a massive ad campaign touting its purported benefits.

Who's paying for this? Taxpayers, of course. It was bad enough that President Obama raised taxes to fund a new entitlement. Now the American people are footing the bill for our government to convince us that Obamacare — and its 20,000 pages of regulations — wasn't a mistake.

It's going to be a tough sell. Even some Democrats are realizing that navigating this bureaucratic monstrosity will be nearly impossible for patients and small businesses, with or without a PR blitz.

Senator Max Baucus, a Democrat from Montana who voted for Obamacare, told Health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius recently that the implementation of the law is a looming disaster. "I just see a huge train wreck coming down," he told her.
