Hi Debbie,

I just read that there was another ‘disturbance’ on a NorthWest flight from Amsterdam on Tuesday.

‘ROMULUS, Mich. (AP) – A Delta Airlines spokeswoman says the crew of a Northwest Airlines flight has requested that authorities meet the plane as it landed in Detroit because four passengers did not follow their instructions.’

K: You’re a little late and you didn’t scroll down. I wrote about this yesterday, including posting video. Please check it out and remember to scroll down and read all entries on my site:

In Dearbornistan, the most extremist Muslims are safe from arrest and prosecution. If I was Majed Moughni, I’d pack up and get out of there while I still could.

As Debbie and others have been saying, these are Muslim terrorist “testers”, testing the airlines for possible further attacks. Be vigilant, and if they attempt an attack on your flight, destroy them.

It is also an answer to to people who wonder where the moderate Muslims are, and why they do not emerge. When one of them tries to break out, they are set upon by their co-religionists. So, even if a Moslem is not enamored with this or that Islamist activity, this attorney’s travails are a lesson to them. But, I would agree that more than a few Moslems in Dearborn and in many other places really have no trouble with attacks on the United States or refusals to integrate.

I went to the anti-terrorism rally to see how things would turn out. The organizers were predicting that thousands would show up. There may have been about two dozen Muslims there, along with another dozen non-Muslims. I took some video footage of the event:

Debbie:

In the event another such event takes place, would you recommend us non-Muslim opponents of Islamic terrorism join in and help these people? Seems to me they could use some help.

You’re right Debbie all those Muslims causing disturbances on different flights are just test-runs checking out the security.

Washington (CNN) -today- The United States is closely monitoring a “credible threat” from al Qaeda in Yemen against the U.S. homeland, two senior officials told CNN.

At the same time, one official Wednesday cautioned that the threat is fairly general in nature and does not have too much specificity — and the second said this is not a case of “we connected the dots to something imminent.”

The first official did say, though, that the U.S. had gleaned that al Qaeda is already “adapting” to new U.S. security measures and that, in part, has raised the concerns.

A third source said that in following up on accused Christmas Day airplane bomber Omar Farouk AbdulMutallab, officials came across some information relevant to aviation. A fourth source confirmed the information has to do with aviation and al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). The level of concern is “measurable” this source said, adding “There is more prickling of the neck hair.”

The U.S. has some information about time frame, this source continued, saying, “It is more definitive than it usually is.”

The U.S. does not have information on location, however, and the source would not say if officials have a name or nationality of the person or persons involved. This source pointed out that aviation security is rigid already and that no additional protective measures have been taken. But, the source says, “there is a lot of stuff going on in the next day or two” relating to analysis.

Video: No more detainees to Yemen? Separately, one U.S. counterterrorism official would say only that, “No one believes the threat from AQAP ended on December 25, 2009. They continue to plot and plan.”

And another U.S. counterterrorism official told CNN, “Everyone is looking closely at AQAP in the aftermath of the AbdulMutallab attempt.”

We don’t need profiling to identify Individuals like the Christmas-Day Bomber!

Virtually all media outlets are discussing whether we should be profiling all Arab Muslims; I will in the one-page explain why we don’t need profiling. Over 15 years ago, we at the Center for Aggression Management developed an easily-applied, measurable and culturally-neutral body language and behavior indicators exhibited by people who intend to perpetrate a terrorist act. This unique methodology utilizes proven research from the fields of psychology, medicine and law enforcement which, when joined together, identify clear, easily-used physiologically-based characteristics of individuals who are about to engage in terrorist activities in time to prevent their Moment of Commitment.

The Problem
Since the foiled terrorist attack by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian national on Northwest Flight 253 to Detroit, the President has repeatedly stated that there has been a systemic failure as he reiterates his commitment to fill this gap in our security. This incident, like the Fort Hood shooting, exemplifies why our government must apply every valid preventative approach to identify a potential terrorist.

The myriad methods to identify a terrorist, whether “no-fly list,” “explosive and weapons detection,” mental illness based approaches, “profiling” or “deception detection” – all continue to fail us. Furthermore, the development of deception detection training at Boston Logan Airport demonstrated that the Israeli methods of interrogation will not work in the United States.

All media outlets are discussing the need for profiling of Muslim Arabs, but profiling does not work for the following three reasons:

1. In practice, ethnic profiling tells us that within a certain group of people there is a higher probability for a terrorist; it does not tell us who the next terrorist is!

2. Ethnic profiling is contrary to the value our society places on diversity and freedom from discrimination based on racial, ethnic, religious, age and/or gender based criteria. If we use profiling it will diminish our position among the majority of affected citizens who support us as a beacon of freedom and liberty.

3. By narrowing our field of vision, profiling can lead to the consequence of letting terrorists go undetected, because the terrorist may not be part of any known “profile worthy” group – e.g., the Oklahoma City bomber, Timothy McVeigh

The Solution
Our unique methodology for screening passengers can easily discern (independently of race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, age, and gender) the defining characteristics of human beings who are about to engage in terrorist acts.

The question is when will our government use true “hostile intent” through the “continuum of aggressive behavior” to identify potential terrorists? Only when observers focus specifically on “aggressive behavior” do the objective and culturally neutral signs of “aggression” clearly stand out, providing the opportunity to prevent these violent encounters. This method will not only make all citizens safer, but will also pass the inevitable test of legal defensibility given probable action by the ACLU.

As our Government analyzes what went wrong regarding Abdulmatallab’s entrance into the United States, you can be assured that Al Qaeda is also analyzing how their plans went wrong. Who do you think will figure it out first . . . ?

Finally, someone with the courage to state the obvious truth. Many Muslims, while not actively engaged in terrorism, are in the hearts supporting the terrorist movement. Thank you Debbie.

First I cannot thankyou enough Debby for defending me against the false libel suit brought by that medical malfactor(redundant when it comes to “Dr.Moremonies” in the Dearborn nosejob racket).That is Dr.Haitham Masri who incidentally lives in a mansion in W.Bloomfield-Orchard Lake and drives a Porche 911-yes a 9 ahem 11.
It is a rare Moslem indeed who will risk his or her life in exposing the nasty truth behind the haters and their silent supporters who follow their twisted intolerant anti-semetic murdering, genocidal beliefs including grisly plans for ALL those who refuse to convert and submit.
And if you think for a minute it is just America and Israel that they have a problem with just look at Lebanon, Darfur, Uganda, Nigeria, Malaysia and yes even Russia and China etc.
Note it is not just the “silent moslems”, what about our own so called “allies” greedy “Quislings” including much of Europe who along with France and Germany,not to leave out Russia and China who do billions of dollars in trade with “misunderstood” Iran who manufacture armor piercing devices that we mistakenly lump together with “improvised explosive devices” or IED’s when in reality most are highly sophisticated technically engineered and manufactured in Iran to be used against our troops with horrible results causing 90% of our casualties, no doubt with the help of Russian and/or North Korean expertise. Dr.Strangelove where are you hiding today? To paraphrase Pogo: “We have met the enemy and too often “they” are our”friends”.
