Good: ‘Extreme Vetting’ May Involve Social Media Passwords, Questions About Ideology
by Tammy on April 5, 2017Excellent. As one example, this sort of vetting would have likely stopped the San Bernardino terrorist’s wife from entering the country. And perhaps we wouldnt have 300 more ISIS sympathizers who entered the country in the last “refugee” batch of 1000. Via Breitbart. The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday on some ideas the Trump administration is discussing for the “extreme vetting” of foreign visitors, including asking the subjects to reveal their cell phone contacts, hand over the passwords to their social media accounts, supply financial records, and “answer probing questions about their ideology.” “The administration also wants to subject more visa applicants to intense security reviews and have embassies spend more time interviewing each applicant. The changes could apply to...

BBC Brazil: London Terrorist Might Be a Freedom Fighter
by Shifra on March 29, 2017The BBC is well-known for this kind of “reporting” (using the term loosely) when writing about “incidents” perpetrated by Arabs against Israelis. But really, this is a new “low” for the BBC. Via Honest Reporting. ….When one concerned news consumer questioned on BBC Brasil’s Facebook page why the London terror attack had been described as an “incident,” the response was shocking: translated from the Portuguese: Terrorism is a word full of connotations, so we avoid using it. The terrorist for some is the defender of freedom for others. The terrorist for others is the avenger of injustices against others. It is not up to the BBC to judge the motives of those who execute attacks, as cruel and bloody as...

iPad Bomb Plot Helped Prompt Laptop Ban — Report
by Tammy on March 27, 2017Makes sense. Via Times of Israel. Bans issued earlier this week by the United States and the United Kingdom prohibiting electronic devices such as laptops and tablets in the cabin of flights from certain countries were in part impelled by a plot to smuggle an explosive-filled fake iPad onto a passenger plane. In a report published Sunday in the British daily The Guardian, an unnamed security source said that the decision by both the US and UK to implement the ban was not brought about by any specific instance but rather due to a number of reasons, including the iPad plot. Further details of the plot, such as the terror organization responsible or the country from which it originated, were...

Europe Keeps Sending Welfare Payments To ISIS Terrorists
by Tammy on February 23, 2017Denmark says the law makes it impossible for them to cut “sickness” and “disability” payments to terrorists fighting in Syria. Welcome to another catastrophe handed to Europe and Scandinavia by the left. Via USA Today. Governments across Europe have accidentally paid taxpayer-funded welfare benefits such as unemployment funds, disability pensions and housing allowances to Islamic State militants who have used the money to wage war in Iraq and Syria, authorities and terrorism experts say. Danish officials said this week that 29 citizens were given $100,000 in public pension benefits because they were considered too ill or disabled to work, and they then fled to Syria to fight for the radical group.

by Shifra on February 8, 2017Oops. Via Free Beacon. ….During an interview with Rep. Sean Duffy (R., Wis.) about President Donald Trump’s move to halt immigration to the United States from countries deemed terrorism hotspots, anchor Alisyn Camerota compared the threat of terrorism to that of random lightning strikes…. “You know that more Americans are killed by lightning strikes every year than by terrorism, so how much do you want Americans to worry here?” Camerota asked Duffy. “Lightning may be random, but this [terrorism] is purposeful and if the government could prevent lightning from killing people, we would. But if we can prevent terror attacks, and we can, we should,” Duffy said, challenging the anchor to tell the U.S. victims of terrorism that the loss...

Finally! Noor Salman, Widow of Orlando Massacre Terrorist Omar Mateen, Arrested
by Tammy on January 16, 2017Really, what took so long? It’s a miracle she didn’t flee the country. I have thought it possible that Mateen had been set up for a sting by the feds and they lost control of him, which would have explained their hesitancy inarresting Salman. Let’s see if perhaps they’ve already arranged a plea deal so there’s no public trial. Via CBS. The widow of Omar Mateen, the shooter in the Orlando nightclub massacre, has been arrested in San Francisco, sources tell CBS News. Noor Salman is facing charges of aiding and abetting, as well as obstruction of justice in the case of the worst mass shooting in American history.
