NYC police: Terror suspects wanted to commit jihad: Posted on Tahoo! News-By TOM McELROY, Associated Press Writer-On May 21, 2009:

These are pertinent excerpts from this article:
“NEW YORK – Four men arrested after planting what they thought were explosives near two synagogues and plotting to shoot down a military plane were bent on carrying out a holy war against America, authorities said Thursday.
The suspects were arrested Wednesday night, shortly after planting a 37-pound mock explosive device in the trunk of a car outside the Riverdale Temple and two mock bombs in the backseat of a car outside the Riverdale Jewish Center, another synagogue a few blocks away, authorities said.
Police blocked their escape with an 18-wheel truck, smashing their tinted SUV windows and apprehending the unarmed suspects.
At a news conference outside the Riverdale Temple in the Bronx, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly quoted one of the men as saying, “If Jews were killed in this attack … that would be all right.”
James Cromitie, David Williams, Onta Williams and Laguerre Payen, all of Newburgh, were charged with conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction within the United States and conspiracy to acquire and use anti-aircraft missiles, the U.S. attorney’s office said.
“They stated that they wanted to commit jihad,” Kelly said. “They were disturbed about what happened in Afghanistan and Pakistan, that Muslims were being killed.”
Kelly said he believed the men knew each other through prison.
An official told The Associated Press that three of the men are converts to Islam. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss details of the investigation. Three of the defendants are U.S. citizens and one is of Haitian descent, officials said.
Payen occasionally attended a Newburgh mosque. His statements on Islam often had to be corrected, according to Assistant Imam Hamin Rashada, who met Payen through a program that helps prisoners re-enter society.
The defendants are due in federal court Thursday in suburban White Plains.
Acting U.S. Attorney Lev L. Dassin said the defendants planned to detonate a car with plastic explosives to destroy the synagogues.
They also planned to shoot Stinger surface-to-air guided missiles at planes at the Air National Guard base in Newburgh, about 70 miles north of New York City.
The FBI and other agencies monitored the men and provided an inactive missile and inert C-4 to an informant for the defendants.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Kelly met privately with congregants Thursday inside the Riverdale Temple.
“The shock and being floored was followed by relief,” David Winter, executive director of the Riverdale Jewish Center, said afterward.
Bloomberg warned against stereotypes, emphasizing that the temple is open to people of all faiths, including a Muslim girl who sometimes prays there.
Kelly said the temple may have been chosen because of “convenience” — it is near a highway. He said the suspects had scouted the location twice before.
Kelly said the uniformed officers who flooded the neighborhood were there to improve residents’ “comfort level,” even though “No one was at risk. This was a very tightly controlled operation.”
“It’s a little scary being so close to home, but you have to just move on sometimes,” said Maria Patuhas, 18, a senior at the Riverdale Kingsbridge Academy, across the street from the temple.
Nancy Harris Rouemy was alarmed when she learned the news from a neighbor, thinking: “Oh my God, that’s my kid’s school.”
“I definitely paused” before taking her 4-year-old to the Riverdale Jewish Center. “However, the assurance is that the perps were caught and my son wouldn’t be in danger,” she said.
“It is so upsetting,” agreed her husband, Isaac. “If it was an actual bomb, it would be a disaster. It’s not just a synagogue. It’s a school and there are senior citizens who come here too.”
Officials told The Associated Press the arrests came after a nearly yearlong undercover operation that began in Newburgh.
“This latest attempt to attack our freedoms shows that the homeland security threats against New York City are sadly all too real and underscores why we must remain vigilant in our efforts to prevent terrorism,” New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a statement.
The defendants, in their efforts to acquire weapons, dealt with an informant acting under law enforcement supervision, authorities said.
In June 2008, the informant met Cromitie in Newburgh and Cromitie complained that his parents had lived in Afghanistan and he was upset about the war there and that many Muslim people were being killed in Afghanistan and Pakistan by U.S. military forces, officials said.
Cromitie also expressed an interest in doing “something to America,” they said in the complaint.
In October 2008, the informant began meeting with the defendants at a Newburgh house equipped with concealed video and audio equipment, the complaint said.
Beginning in April 2009, the four men selected the synagogue and the community center they intended to hit, it said. They also conducted surveillance of military planes at the Air National Guard Base, it said.
Nihad Awad, national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, issued a statement praising law enforcers “for their efforts in helping to prevent any harm to either Jewish institutions or to our nation’s military.”
“We repeat the American Muslim community’s repudiation of bias-motivated crimes and of anyone who would falsely claim religious justification for violent actions,” the statement said.
Rep. Peter King, the senior Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, was briefed on the case following the arrests.
“This was a long, well-planned investigation, and it shows how real the threat is from homegrown terrorists,” said King, of New York.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said if there can be any good news out of this case it’s that “the group was relatively unsophisticated, penetrated early and not connected to any outside group.”
“The shocking plan to blow up a Jewish house of prayer with what the jihadist terrorists thought were C-4 explosives is dramatic proof that the dangers from such fanaticism have not passed and that American Jews must maintain their vigilance,” said a statement released by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights group.
The defendants were jailed Wednesday night. Reporters yelled questions at three of the four men — Cromitie and David and Onta Williams — as they were taken in handcuffs into the Metropolitan Correctional Center, but the men didn’t respond.

Comment: This is a great example of what happens when we allow other “home grown terrorists”, the likes of Bill Ayers and his other 1960’s Weather Underground cronies, to literally get away with committing their disgusting terrorist actions against other Americans and/or institutions without being punished, which sets a dangerous precedence because others will undoubtedly follow in their footsteps, thinking that they can commit the same deplorable actions without retribution-You Decide.

CBS Publishes Piece Criticizing “Homegrown Jihad” and End Up Embarassing Themselves: Published by Jihad Watch-Posted by Robert-On February 15, 2009:
http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/024865.php
These are pertinent excerpts from this article:
“More mainstream media idiocy about the jihad threat.
From Ryan Mauro’s WorldThreats.com:
CBS News decided to run an article attacking the new documentary, “Homegrown Jihad: Terrorist Camps Around the U.S.” on Wednesday, February 11; an article which would have been given an “F” if graded by a high school journalism teacher.
As part of the Christian Action Network that released the documentary, I feel compelled to explain why I thank CBS News for making a journalism career seem a possibility to the least capable among us.
Let’s revew this part-by-part.
“CBS News has obtained a copy of the trailer to the documentary “Homegrown Jihad: The Terrorist Camps Around the U.S.” The film was produced by PRB films, in association with The Christian Action Network. “
Obtained a copy of the trailer?
Apparently, CBS’ impressive investigative prowess consists of going to YouTube.com and typing in “Homegrown Jihad” and then criticizing it without viewing the government-funded reports cited in the film, or really anything in the film for that matter.
“The film also includes clips from a “secret” training tape in which American Muslims are recruited into what is considered one of the most advanced courses in Islamic military warfare. “
CBS slickly uses the quotation marks, obviously attempting to indicate the tape isn’t so secret.
If it isn’t secret, then why does Sheikh Gilani specifically tell those watching the tape to make sure it doesn’t fall into the hands of non-Muslims?
And why isn’t it on YouTube–CBS’ repository for secret information–if it isn’t secret?
Surely someone would post a terrorist training tape intended for Muslims in America if it wasn’t secret.
“Officials describe the film to CBS News as “sensationalistic” and without any real foundation.
According to one official, it is strictly designed to upset and inflame people and does not present a true picture of any so-called “homegrown Jihad” danger. No current intelligence exists to suggest any threat connected with this group, which officials describe as “wannabes” and not terrorists. “
How dare the Christian Action Network try to provoke people!
If the most we can be faulted for is stirring up emotions, which I wasn’t aware was a bad thing when trying to warn of a legitimate threat, then I thank CBS News for the compliment.
Too bad they didn’t bother to call us for an interview before publishing the article, or I would have gladly informed them of my flattery.
Then, of course, comes the inevitable, anonymous official with an anonymous background and an anonymous agenda.
And based on ONE official, CBS says that “no current intelligence exists” to suggest a threat from this group.
Forget the arrests of Fuqra members involved in criminal and terrorist activity.
Forget the blatantly anti-Semitic and extremist writings and videotape of Gilani, their leader. ONE official says to forget it.
After all, they are wanna-be terrorists, not actual terrorists, so you can sleep well at night knowing they have only the intention, not the capability, to launch attacks.
Apparently, CBS does more research using YouTube than using documents by think tanks and governments and police reports.”
Note: We can sleep better at night knowing that the Main Stream Media, CBS in particular, keeps the American public well informed about the Jihad threat here at home and abroad right-NOT.
I find this article very interesting because back last year when I was conducting my extensive research on, then Senator Obama’s background, as a means of educating myself prior to casting my ballot, I requested a “Reality Check” from the CBS Investigative Team and other Main Stream Media outlets, on numerous issues that I had come across on the Internet, which concerned me, and, not surprising, I received only one reply, which was from a CBS investigative reporter, but I found her replies to be demeaning, outlandish and disgusting, especially coming from someone whose sole job is to keep the American public informed.
What follows are my numerous e-mails requesting “Reality Checks” from CBS, along with their disgusting replies-You Decide:

“Re: Presidential Election Candidates.
Thursday, October 23, 2008 9:08 AM
From: “Jake L. Martinez” <jakelm99@yahoo.com>
Add sender to Contacts
To: “Strickler, Laura” <StricklerL@cbsnews.com>
Dear Laura:
Thanks for your speedy and unbiased response.
The only thing I don’t really understand about your response is that most of my research/results were supported by references to our MSM or other credible news outlets, to include our candidate’s web sites.
Your response confirms the fact that I can’t believe anything that I read or see on the MSM or other news coverage outlets and that really concerns me.
Please read my concerns with our MSM (e.g. ABC, CBS, NBC,etc.):
Numerous Internet news articles/comments, have given me enough cause, as an American Citizen, to be extremely concerned and angered because, they have made me question whether or not our Main Stream Media (MSM) has been biased (fair and balanced) in their coverage of the Iraq War, our current economic crisis, which I also find suspicious, and, more importantly, this and other Presidential elections. (See This Video That Supports My Claim: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNdF_y3racM&feature=related)
My concerns are three-fold and are based on the following:
1) after taking the time to conduct my own investigation and/or research to confirm the substance of these articles that, on the surface, may be considered, by some, that seem to have their own hidden agendas, to be outrages and un-true, as a means of educating myself prior to casting my vote for our next President, which I have always taken very seriously as an American Citizen. And, I have discovered that the substance of some of these articles, along with some of their public comments, have turned out to be true, which leads me to believe that they were either, not aggressively researched/investigated and/or purposely kept from the American public by our MSM, as a means of slanting the Iraq War, our economic crisis, which is also seems suspicious, and this and prior elections;
2) most Americans either don’t take the time or don’t have the time and/or resources to conduct their own research to educate themselves prior to this and other elections and are, thereby, forced to rely solely on the integrity of our MSM to do it for them, not knowing that what they get from our MSM may be false and/or biased; and,
3) if my concerns have MERIT, it leads me and, more than likely, other Americans, along with individuals from other nations around the world, who are closely watching the Iraq War, our economic crisis and our Historic Presidential election, to QUESTION our, supposedly, unbiased (fair and balanced) democratic election process. A process that our country has historically been preaching and aggressively assisting other nations (e.g. Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.) to adopt, at any cost, and, more importantly, a cause for which millions of our young Americans, as members of our Armed Forces, which I honorably served in for 20 years as a Marine, continue to, proudly and selflessly, help to uphold by honorably serving, fighting and dying for.
BOTTOM LINE: I Hope and Pray that my and other America’s concerns are unfounded and have no merit, which I am now doubting, after reading this and other similar articles that seem to have been glossed over and/or slanted by our MSM, as a means of fulfilling their own hidden agendas.
But, if they HAVE MERIT, which, tragically, the American public, more than likely, won’t even know until after this election is over and done with, I ask that our MSMs (e.g. CBS, ABC, NBC, etc.) do some serious soul searching and have the integrity and fortitude to step up to the plate, without concerning themselves about their ratings, as a means of keeping their jobs, while many other Americans go homeless, and TAKE SOME CREDIT for helping to fuel the current negative ads, racist attacks, anger and fear that is now visibly consuming some of Americans, through their blatantly biased (unfair and unbalanced) coverage of the Iraq War, our economic crisis and this and other Presidential elections.
And, if they don’t, which is very likely, all I can say is: “GOD BLESS AMERICA.”
Have a great day and thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to respond to my concerns.
Thanks.
Jake”

Dear Katie:
As a registered Democrat. I didn’t really know enough about Sen. Obama to make an educated decision as to why I should cast my vote for him, which lead me to conduct my own research to find out more about who he really was, where he came from and, even more important, what he stands for. I did my own research because I have little or NO faith in our Main Stream Media (MSM) to provide me factual fair and balanced information.

Question: Does America face a jihadist threat that’s even bigger than terrorism?
This is a Barnes and Noble Review on a recent book titled “Stealth Jihad”, that I believe is pertinent to this issue and should raise some eye-brows-You Decide:
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Stealth-Jihad/Robert-Spencer/e/9781596985568/?itm=1
Is Islam Changing America From Within?
- Children shout “Allahu akbar!”
- Women aren’t allowed in public without a male relative.
- Muslims don’t pay interest on financial transactions.
Sounds like a description of daily life in Saudi Arabia, right?
It’s actually happening right here in America—
most people just don’t know it.
But we can stop it!
These are pertinent Barnes and Noble reviews relating to this issue:
“While our homeland security efforts are focused on preventing terrorist attacks, another jihadist threat is growing right here in America-in plain sight.
In Stealth Jihad, Islam expert and New York Times bestselling author Robert Spencer blows the whistle on a long-term plot by Islamic jihadists to undermine the United States.
This effort aims not to bring America to its knees through attacks with guns or bombs, but to subvert the country from within-by gradually Islamizing America.
The ultimate goal, the stealth jihadists themselves declare, is nothing less than the adoption of Islamic law in the United States.
Describing the disturbing ease with which stealth jihadists have already become ensconced in the American political and media landscapes, Spencer exposes the full modus operandi of the movement as revealed in a stunning document unveiled in a recent terrorism funding trial.
In this unsettling book, he explains:
- Which Islamic fundamentalist organization is behind the stealth jihad
- How stealth jihadists have reinvented themselves as mainstream civil rights activists-despite their many past declarations of Islamic supremacism;
- How stealth jihadists played a key role in formulating U.S. government guidelines for the War on Terror
*;

America, Spencer demonstrates, is all but oblivious to a new kind of threat presented by a loosely organized movement whose activists are well funded, highly motivated, and relentless in pursuit of their agenda. This book is a wake-up call for a country so focused on foreign threats that it has left itself vulnerable to a growing danger much closer to home.

GOP wants investigation into Pelosi CIA claims: Posted on Yahoo! News-On May 21, 2009:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090521/ap_on_go_co/us_pelosi_torture;_ylt=Aidlek92gSLgnG6sMWcqWE1v24cA;_ylu=X3oDMTJrNmJwa2cwBGFzc2V0A2FwLzIwMDkwNTIxL3VzX3BlbG9zaV90b3J0dXJlBGNwb3MDNgRwb3MDNgRzZWMDeW5fdG9wX3N0b3JpZXMEc2xrA2dvcHdhbnRzaW52ZQ–
These are pertinent excerpts from this article:
“WASHINGTON – House Republicans on Thursday will demand that a bipartisan panel investigate House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s claims that the CIA misled her in 2002 about whether waterboarding had been used against a terrorist suspect.
Senior Republican aides said the GOP would introduce a resolution calling for the probe. Under House rules, Pelosi would have two days to arrange for a vote on the measure.
Pelosi spokesman Nadeam Elshami called the move a partisan ploy.
“This is partisan politics and an attempt by the Republicans to distract from the real issue of creating jobs and making progress on health care, energy and education,” he said.
Pelosi told reporters this month that she had not been told that waterboarding had been used, even though it had been.
The head of the CIA has defended his agency.
House Republican Leader John Boehner of Ohio has said she should back up her claims with evidence or retract her accusation. “Lying to the Congress of the United States is a crime,” he said.
Pelosi has already said that the evidence should be declassified.
Comments:
1) This is another disgrace and, that is, to have someone we have elected to represent the American people in Congress and currently holding the third highest leadership position, after the President, calling the CIA, whose job it is to keep us safe, liars and, thereby, committing a crime herself by lying to Congress and who will, more than likely, get away with it.
What a great example for other Americans to follow-its no wonder why we have the problems we have in our society.
The sad thing is, we are currently riddled with individuals like this, who possess little or no integrity, elected to run our country and, thereby, charged with setting the example for Americans and others around the world that expect it from us, as a democratic society-So I guess you can say “we deserve everything we get” because we voted for it-God Help US.
2) This “partisan politics” line and the “race card” seem to be the Liberal’s favorites, when they believe someone else is attempting to play their own game of using detractors every time they are in the process of accomplishing one of their deplorable covert actions, which are systematically eroding our “Constitution”, and ultimately destroying this great country of ours.
3) Additionally, along with using the “partisan politics” line and the “race card” as detractors, there is enough credible evidence that suggests that this President has a Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and is covertly using a little known and highly deceptive and manipulative form of conversational hypnosis in his speeches to covertly accomplish his hidden agenda of destroying our great country, as evidenced by his disgusting, fast paced and multi- front actions since taking office.
4) I truly believe that, if the American people are to succeed in putting a stop to these covert actions, that are destroying our country, we need to start playing their game to the “T”-non-stop-You Decide.

Where Is America Today?
http://weroinnm.wordpress.com/2009/04/26/where-is-america-today/
Personal Note: Please read my recent blog that reveals, what I now believe to be my own bout with a Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), as evidenced by my recent self-administered on-line NPA Personality Test-“Personality Typing Based On Genetic Traits”: http://personalitytest.homestead.com/, that I recently discovered during my recent extensive research into this President’s background.
Much to my dismay, this is in addition to my Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), that I was diagnosed with in the summer of 2006, which, by the way, was not caused solely by twenty-year tenure in the Marine Corps, but, sadly, by my non-stop abuse that I experienced during my childhood upbringing up-to the day that I volunteered to join the Marine Corps, which I believe literally saved my life because, it tested me physically, emotionally, mentally, psychologically and, most important to me, spiritually, along with teaching me that adversity multiplies the end benefit, builds character and makes you a better person.
You might say that I can whole-heartedly and with much pain relate to the President’s dis-functional family childhood upbringing experiences, which more than likely contributed to his own NPD, that will probably continue to hunt him until he does some serious soul searching and finds the fortitude within him and is man enough to step-up to the plate and admit that he suffers from NPD, which is a must, if he has the faith to embarks on his healing journey, because I know by own personal experience, that “the truth will truly set you free.“
After much prayer, self-analysis, countless sleepless nights, and deep soul searching, I just now, while in the process of amending this blog, made the explosive decision and felt an unexplainable and overwhelming need to share my very personal and confidential information with you, soberly knowing and realizing that I am, more than likely, taking an enormous risk by sharing it with you.
But when I analyzed the Pros and Cons, along with the possible negative consequences that may come my way as a result of my decision and compared it against the peril that this great country of ours is faced with under this Presidency, the decision became a no-brainer and well worth it, especially if it helps me to accomplish my initial, intentional and overall goal of waking up the American public about the seriousness and un-reversible consequences that will follow, if we continue to allow this President and his administration to covertly and systemically erode our “Constitution”, which, I adamantly believe, will ultimately destroy this great country of ours.
If you’ve taken the time to read my other numerous blogs, you would have discovered by now that my intentions, all along, have never been self-fulfilling and/or partisan, but “American” because, I’ve been a Democrat most of my life, until this last election, when I discovered some issues about this President that concerned me enough to keep me from casting my vote for him, due to his seemingly shady background and questionable associations with radical individuals and/or organizations. (Note: Like my mother always used to say, “tell me who you hang around with and I’ll tell you who you are”, which, in my 62 years, I have discovered to have merit.)
Concerns which I believe have now been confirmed as having merit, due to the fast paced and seemingly non-stop destructive direction that this country is headed under this Presidency and, most important, I can’t imagine having my four sons and thirteen grandchildren being sucked into living or surviving in a “socialist society”, as a result of my passiveness and inaction, especially after so many young brave Americans have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend the freedoms that we have enjoyed as a “democratic society”, which is something I could not live with and/or care to take to my grave-You Decide:
My Life Experiences That Caused and/or Aggravated My PTSD:

Disclaimer: Although I share numerous resources with you, as a means of supporting my comments and/or concerns, it does not necessarily mean that I support and/or agree with the contents of all of them, word-by-word, but find them thought provoking because, they provide me with other views besides my own and, thereby, help me make my case.
As a retired Marine Corps Veteran Officer (Mustang), I pride myself with loving my God, family, friends and my country and those Military and/or Veteran Comrades, that I am honored to call friends, know that I would never intentionally say or do anything that wouldhurt or demean anyone, to include my God and Country.
I have always preached to my own family and follow the rule of“filtering everything that comes from my brain through my heart before it comes out of my mouth” and this rule has done me well for 62 years of my life and would highly recommend it to anyone that dares to share their own views with others, knowing that they may not have the same views, but are able and willing to accept that and not take it personal.
I also consider the sharing of these and/or any other verbal or written comments or concerns to be given me under our “FREEDOM OF SPEECH RIGHTS”, which I consider as one of the corner stones of our“Constitution” and, as an American, I believe that it is my “God Given Duty” to stand up for and defend this or any other rights given me under our Constitution, as other God and Country loving Americans in uniform have done in the past and continue to this date:

Note: I believe that this administration has used our financial economic crises, the two wars, terrorist threats here at home and abroad, a DHS Extremist Alert targeting Veterans and the Swine Flu Epidemic, as detractors, with the disgusting help of the Main Stream Media, while they accomplish their hidden agenda, which continues to covertly erode our ”Constitutional Rights” , that will ultimately destroy this great country of ours.
Additionally, as a military Veteran, I’ve always prided myself as being intelligent, level headed and normally don’t listen to conspiracies, but my gut tells me that something reeks with this ongoing issue-You Decide.
Bottom Line: If my concerns are proven to be true, which I hope and pray they are not:
