"Attorney General Eric Holder said the indictments reflect a disturbing trend of recruitment efforts targeting U.S. residents to become terrorists."
FOX follows that with...
"Officials have been working with Muslim community leaders across the United States, particularly in Somali diasporas in Minnesota, trying to combat the radicalization." [1]
Wow, millions believe it is sort of "radical" for Americans to support Israel's continual brutal occupation and genocide in Palestine. Yes, downright radical to support an apartheid government that grinds people up and spits them out without ever stepping out of the victim role that truly belongs to a past generation.
My question is, how do we know he couldn't have been working with a second group that law enforcement didn't know about?
It amounts to a slew of attention on Islam and enforcing the same paranoia that has swept this nation since 2001 when Saudi Arabian terrorists allegedly boarded airplanes, flew them into buildings in New York, and then had their passports miraculously land on the sidewalks below, legible enough to indict the men almost immediately.
I know the Saudi Arabians have sponsored many terrorists, that is where the crazy Wahhabi religious zealots with the money come from. They are close allies with the U.S. government and Saudi oil families are closely affiliated with Texas oil families; roger, got that. But Somalia, really?
Salem-News.com readers know we cover Somalia's piracy problem regularly, frequently offering in-depth accounts of the situation with the help of our friends at ECOTERRA Intl. in Nairobi, Kenya who monitor the situation from Africa, not a New York or Los Angeles news office.
This is the single most violent and impoverished country in the world. Somalia is controlled by a group known as al Shabab and they are dangerous, known for elevated levels of piracy that plague African waters. Yet Somalia's piracy began as a response to the environmental pillaging of Somalia's coast and the overfishing of its waters. They used to and still frequently avoid killing their captives. The media almost never mentions that part.
What if there was a simultaneous bomb set to go off at the same time?
Terrorizing America would logically be the last of their concerns.
Why? Because nations like Iraq don't have to lift a finger toward the U.S. in order to watch over a million people blasted into oblivion by American bombs and munitions. Afghan people by and large didn't even know where the U.S. is on a map, yet they have watched collateral damage claim lives in the tens of thousands, probably much higher.
To suggest that any small nation would come and pick a fight with a warmongering nation like the United States of America is pretty silly really.
It is the same thing in Palestine.
People there know that if they fire a slingshot at an Israeli soldier, they could see a reprisal leaving dozens or more dead. People learn over time who not to mess with. I fear that this story may be rigged with propaganda, regardless of whether this 19-year old kid had evil intent or some level of involvement. It sounds like he was led down a road to notorious stardom.
Killing people en masse is terrorism and there is never an excuse for it. It is the work of cowards any time civilians are in the mix.
