"A little learning is a
dangerous thing"

The national media is not telling the whole story about the heroic woman who stopped the Colorado church shooter before he could murder anyone else. Fortunately, in addition to her bravery and her faith, she was armed and knew how to shoot. According to a survivor:

"Larry Bourbonnais, a combat-tested Vietnam veteran, said it was the bravest thing he's ever seen... "She just started walking toward the gunman, firing the whole way," said Bourbonnais, who was shot in the arm. "She was just yelling 'Surrender!' walking and shooting the whole time."...

The gunman pointed a handgun at [Ms.] Assam and fired three shots, Bourbonnais said. She returned fire and just kept walking toward the gunman, pressing off round after round." -- Denver Post

Contrast this outcome with the turkey shoot at the "gun-free" Omaha mall a couple of weeks ago. The defensive use of firearms by responsible citizens -- in any public setting -- should never be prohibited! How many punks would try shooting up a church, a mall, a school, or a private home if they knew they would be out-gunned every time?

A teenager from a broken family apparently went berserk, shooting and killing 8 people at a shopping mall in Omaha, Nebraska. According to the report, the shooter was living with friends in a suburb located "between Offutt Air Force Base and the Missouri River".

Perhaps this is just another case of violent programming, psychoactive drug abuse and the collapse of moral values in a decadent society leading to a tragedy. However, there is an interesting coincidence here:

"President Bush was in Omaha on Wednesday for a fundraiser, but left about an hour before the shooting." -- CBS News

Evidently, the President enjoys visiting Omaha, home of the Offutt AFB and headquarters of the U.S. Strategic Command. He made a stopover there on the ill-fated day of Sep 11, 2001 also.

Conspiracy buffs may recall that Omaha was at the center of a scandal involving allegations of child prostitution and "mind control" programs some 20 years ago, as documented by Nebraska senator John DeCamp in his book "The Franklin Cover-Up". DeCamp was a personal friend of CIA director William Colby who confirmed some of his findings -- and died in a mysterious "boating accident" soon afterwards.

In his remarks to the Council on Foreign Relations last week, General Michael Hayden, the latest Roman Catholic director of the Central Intelligence Agency said:

"First, our analysts assess with high confidence that al Qaeda's central leadership is planning high-impact plots against the American homeland.

Second, those same analysts assess -- again, with high confidence -- that al Qaeda has protected or regenerated key elements of its homeland attack capability...

And third, we assess -- once again, with high confidence -- that al Qaeda is focusing on targets that would produce mass casualties, dramatic destruction and significant economic aftershocks. "

-- CFR transcript (2007-09)

Gen. Hayden, the former Director of the National Security Agency, is a career military intelligence officer. It is significant that he chose to deliver his remarks at the CFR, the flagship organization which has dominated U.S. foreign policy (including the CIA leadership) since its inception. The American public can certainly have "high confidence" that something is afoot. But the question is: what constitutes "al Qaeda's central leadership" today?

Back in the 1980s, when Osama bin Laden and his gang were "freedom fighters" waging jihad against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, it was the CIA that was calling the shots and providing the support. At the time, the Reagan/Bush CIA was led by Roman Catholic director William Casey and his deputy Robert Gates -- who is now Bush's Secretary of Defense.

Adam Pearlman-Gadahn, the Jewish ADL "convert" to Islam we highlighted last month, is back in the news. This time he's the co-star of a new propaganda film featuring historic footage of chief boogeyman and son of a Saudi billionaire, Osama bin Laden. Intelligence analysts have determined that Gadahn wrote most of the script, and it appears that the fresh dialog supposedly from "bin Laden" has simply been dubbed in with the old images.

According to this Fox News story: "During the video, bin Laden's image moves for only a total of about 3 1/2 minutes in two segments, staying frozen the rest of the time while his [sic] remarks continue." This video was somehow "obtained" and released by the highly suspect SITE Institute, whose Zionist founders are "consultants" to the Bush administration associated with the School for Advanced International Studies. The Dean of SAIS was Zionist hawk Paul Wolfowitz, Bush's Deputy Secretary of Defense and a member of PNAC.

At the APEC meeting in Sydney, president Bush said that the tape is "a reminder about the dangerous world in which we live" and that "it's important that we show resolve and determination to protect ourselves".

(Translation: Now that the propaganda campaign is well underway, get ready for another "terrorist attack" to justify the long-planned assault on Iran.)

UPDATE: The SITE Institute has "obtained" another episode in the latest series from "al Qaeda". Perhaps they thought the first one wasn't convincing enough.

UPDATE: Even NBC News now admits that the video is probably a fake, although that didn't stop them from broadcasting it anyway.

The Israeli website DEBKAFile reports "electronic chatter" indicating preparation for imminent terrorist attacks by the shadowy al-Qaeda group in major U.S. cities. The main source for these latest threats is spokesman Adam Gadahn (a.k.a. Adam Pearlman) identified last year as a Jewish goat rancher from Orange County, California who "converted" to Islam:

"Gadahn, who is now about 29, grew up on a goat ranch in Riverside County and lived in Santa Ana and Garden Grove from 1995 to 1998. The child of a Jewish father and a Catholic mother, he converted to Islam in front of a packed sanctuary at the Islamic Society of Orange County in 1995." -- Orange County Register

Gadahn's grandfather, Carl K. Pearlman, was a prominent Jewish doctor in Orange County. He was also a director of the Anti-Defamation League and "had a very strong feeling for Israel". Gadahn had abandoned his hippie father's goat farm and was living with his Zionist grandfather at the time of his "conversion". Coincidently, the ADL was running a massive program of espionage and infiltration of political groups in California during the same period.

Oy vey! Could it be that Adam Pearlman-Gadahn is another ADL agent provocateur pretending to be a "Muslim radical"?

In true Orwellian fashion, Zionist attorney Michael Chertoff, head of the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security, is again raising the level of psychological insecurity and fear in the homeland:

"I believe we are entering a period this summer of increased risk," Chertoff told the Chicago Tribune's editorial board in an unusually blunt and frank assessment of America's terror threat level... And he indicated that his remarks were based on "a gut feeling" formed by past seasonal patterns of terrorist attacks..."

This was immediately challenged by Rep. Bennie Thompson, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, who wrote:

"Words have power, Mr. Secretary. You must choose them wisely -- especially when they relate to the lives and security of the American public. What color code in the Homeland Security Advisory System is associated with a "gut feeling?" What sectors should be on alert as a result of your "gut feeling?" What cities should be asking their law enforcement to work double shifts because of your "gut feeling?" Are the American people supposed to purchase duct tape and plastic sheeting because of your "gut feeling?"

Maybe someone forgot to tell Bennie that the perceived threat to Israel -- not America -- is the real reason comrade Chertoff's guts are rumbling.

It is interesting that this warning was delivered in Chicago and mentions "past patterns of attacks". Tenants in the Sears Tower might want to keep an eye on sudden vacancies from the building which was purchased in 2004 by a group of "New York investors" including Larry Silverstein's WTC partner Lloyd Goldman. Chicago area shopping malls owned by Frank P. Lowy, another Silverstein WTC partner and former Israeli commando, might also deserve extra scrutiny.

"An Arlington County consulting firm that evaluated the emergency response to the 1999 Columbine High School shootings and other public safety crises has been hired by state officials to assist the panel that will investigate the Virginia Tech massacre."

-- Washington Post article

TriData, headed by Philip S. Schaenman, is a division of defense contractor Systems Planning Corp., whose speciality is "...system analysis and system planning principally for the Intelligence Community, the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security." The vice-president of SPC at the time of the Columbine shootings was Dov Zakheim, an ardent Zionist and member of PNAC.

UPDATE: Here is the final report of the investigation panel. See "Appendix L", a summary of school shootings over the past 30 years.

April 20 is the anniversary of the infamous Columbine Massacre, in which a gang of students known as the "Trench Coat Mafia" plotted and carried out the slaughter of 13 people and the wounding of dozens more at a Colorado high school in 1999. The shooters, Klebold and Harris, were rabid Jewish racists (see article).

The recent shooting at Va. Tech has several things in common with the Columbine incident:

  • The shooters were mentally disturbed, and taking psychoactive medication (Luvox, Prozac)
  • The shooters documented their racist, anti-American hatred in writing and video before the attacks
  • Their victims, including teachers and students, were disarmed and unable to defend themselves
  • The police stood by while the victims were slaughtered, and the shooters killed themselves
  • The true facts of what happened and why were covered up immediately by the "investigators" and controlled media
  • Socialist utopians immediately called for stripping honest Americans of their right to self-defense.

Virginia Governor Tim Kaine has just appointed a commission to investigate the Va. Tech shootings:

"The panel will be headed by Col. Gerald Massengill, a retired former superintendent of the Virginia State Police. Massengill headed the agency during the Washington-area sniper shootings of 2002 and the terrorist attack on the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001. In addition to Massengill, Kaine appointed Tom Ridge, the first director of the federal Department of Homeland Security..."

Do you remember the strange code phrase "caught like a duck in a noose" that terminated the D.C. sniper incident? And what happened to the videos of the Pentagon attack from the all those Arlington, Va. area surveillance cameras?

See: USA Today article (2007-04)

"None of the alleged terrorists had made a bomb. None had bought a plane ticket. Many did not even have passports... What is more, many of those arrested had been under surveillance for over a year - like thousands of other British Muslims... We then have the extraordinary question of Bush and Blair discussing the possible arrests over the weekend. Why? I think the answer to that is plain. Both in desperate domestic political trouble, they longed for 'Another 9/11'. The intelligence from Pakistan, however dodgy, gave them a new 9/11 they could sell to the media."
