MI-5 and Police catch terrorists.

Four men have been jailed in a home-made bomb plot case in Britain. 

The four were arrested in April 2012 and pleaded guilty at Woolwich Crown Court to engaging in preparation for acts of terrorism. The court heard that the young men had arranged terrorism training in Pakistan, debated obtaining weapons and how best to raise funds for their plans. 

The judge said: "In each of their cases, their persistent commitment to terrorist activity, in a number of different ways, over a significant period of time and, in each case, their willingness to take practical steps to obtain terrorist training abroad, marks them out as particularly dangerous.  
This, coupled with the fact that, after their houses had been searched, and they were obviously under serious suspicion, they nonetheless continued to access material consistent with the mindset which informed their previous preparatory activities, persuades me that they continue to be 'dangerous' to such a degree that I should exercise my discretion to pass an extended sentence."

Zahid Iqbal, 31; Mohammed Sharfaraz Ahmed, 25; Umar Arshad, 24; and Syed Farhan Hussain, 21; all from Luton, admitted discussing a possible attack on the town's Army base. 

The four smiled and giggled as the court was played recordings of conversations in which they discussed travelling to Pakistan for terror training, buying guns and making explosives.
They discussed how to make a homemade bomb, based on instructions available in an English-language jihadist magazine. Yes I get it too, how could there even BE a magazine like that? 


Their conversations were secretly recorded in an intelligence led joint counter-terrorism  police - MI5 operation into the movement of individuals from the UK to Pakistan "for extremist purposes linked to al-Qaeda."

Their target was a Territorial Army base and the plan was to send in a bomb in a toy car under the gate. 

The police or MI-5 would not comment on when and how they first came under suspicion.

 I wonder what MI-5s first clue was?

Vote for me?

I want your vote, Quebec? There were NO Canadian
flags at the 2013 NDP convention in Montreal.

I want your vote, Canada. overkill in red?
But the convention was in Ottawa, not Montreal.

                                                                                         

Only blue skies ahead? Who's kidding who?

My federal vote choice was just depleted again?


Or has it? There are plenty of choices left! All of which give you about the same voice as shouting 'Help!' in Canada's Arctic. The echo might be a polar bear, unless they're extinct already, at least you can be confidant of providing the poor bear with a warm meal.

Depressing, isn't it?

Just wondering .... ?

I'm wondering why the US Department of Homeland Security, would need to buy 1.6 BILLION rounds of .40-caliber hollow point bullets. 
They ordered paper targets too. Like, sure we believe they're going to be used for training. Hollow point is way too expensive to use for paper potshots. Hollow point ammo has been outlawed in war since 1899, because it is designed to expand upon entry and cause maximum organ damage! These bullets don't just go through you, they tear you apart from the inside.

DHS also wants to buy 750 million rounds of 357 mag able to penetrate walls.  They are also buying Kevlar helmets and riot gear and bullet proof checkpoint booths. And many of these are 'no bid' contracts. Like the new 5 year, $4.5 million contract with Heckler and Koch, and they followed that up with literally the same deal with Sig Sauer Arms. Some contracts are even classified to conceal the facts. Others estimate that 2 billion rounds are enough to wage a 20 year war ....  in America!

And here's an odd one, the National Weather Service is also buying 46,000 rounds of hollow points. Are they going to shoot the clouds? These are .40 jacketed hollow point bullets, noted for their strength. Hmm.

AR 15

Back to Homeland Security. So they have purchased almost 2 billion rounds of ammunition now, and that's not all; they added 7000 assault rifles last fall. Do you feel more secure? Are they worried about Ted Nugent coming after them? All he probably wants is to know if it's gonna rain next week for his cookout!  And at least some of those millions of rounds are frighteningly designated as 'sniper' rounds.

And there's an argument that the government is showing its hypocrisy by essentially saying AR15s (aka M16 or M-4 military) are good 'personal defense' weapons for them, while not for American citizens. When civilians own semi-automatic rifles, they somehow become “assault weapons.” Isn't this exactly what those NRA guys keep telling us?

Hmm. Even such staid institutions like Forbes Magazine is wondering if we need to talk about this sudden armament of a US Government agency, have a 'national conversation', they say. Yet you can't find a word in the Main Stream Media. And that's another big HMM.

MRAP armored fighting vehicle

We're told by some that the federal government is stockpiling bullets in preparation for 'civil unrest.' One wonders what the unrest will be about? One wonders what would trigger a mass civil unrest?

But don't you worry, rumor is that they have bought 2700 armored MRAP fighting vehicles too, and they'll make you feel safe. Look, you can ever see the word, 'Rescue' on them. Hoping you won't notice the gun ports. This is not your Dad's Rambler station wagon. And Eddie Murphy won't be stuffing bananas up those tailpipes. What's scary is that these vehicles were designed for Afghanistan, but are to be used in the streets of America. Perhaps along with those mini drones hunting with thermal imaging technology and RPGs.

I feel a little unresty.

Does the word DEpopulation mean something to you?

Just wondering.

Zeitgeist. Grass roots truth?

If you want to watch contrived fiction, go to the theater for your dose of mindless entertainment or propaganda where the good guys always win or love blossoms in the end. Or settle into your sofa to watch TV about mind sinking people like the Kardashians, or swamp guys or censored sitcoms. Or baseball. Make popcorn. But don't think.

Yet if you lean to wondering about what your world is coming to, you just might want to take the time to see a film by Peter Joseph, called Zeitgeist available free to view on YouTube. Maybe it'll make you think. Something which, after seeing this movie, you might consider dangerous. But it just might prod you into asking questions. 

Zeitgeist - The Movie

The movie by Peter Joseph is going around a lot right now. I watched it. Some of it replicates the film, Loose Change, a documentary about 9/11 also freely available on the web. (Loose Change is the number one viewed film on YouTube, with Zeitgeist number two.) And if Zeitgeist makes you ask one question, or do your own research into that question, to seek your own answer, it can only be good.

Zeitgeist is a great word. It seems to imply deep philosophical thinking, as if Nietzsche was involved or something. And we look for some Freudian explanation. Zeitgeist seems to emerge from a today-time of turmoil or despair in humanity. Zeitgeist means a spirit of the age and is the current intellectual fashion or dominant school of thought among a certain demographic that typifies and influences the culture of a particular period in time. The time is now. 
But you might even have to be brave to watch this one, the good guys aren't winning, it is not mindless entertainment, no screaming teenagers here, no comforting conclusion, but perhaps it is mindful entertainment that challenges your beliefs. Instigates a world consciousness. Forces you to think. 
If you can do that, be brave and watch.
