Thanks to MSNBC’s Blog (and its host, Will) for giving me credit. No thanks for the back-handed way they did it. We don’t like Muslim terrorists and intolerance, Will. Do you?
Both of those are rampant in Dearbornistan. Get a clue.

Why is the mother of a terrorist working at the airport? And why does she have passenger lists and info on airport security? Why did she give them to her son?
Early this morning, I wrote about .
They purchased at least 600 TracFones for the chips inside, which terrorists use as detonation devices in bombs. They had flight manifests and information about airport security checkpoints. They had $10,000 in cash and lied to police. They were working with a Dearborn man under FBI investigation. They were charged with Money Laundering to Aid Terrorism.
Today, more disturbing information about these All-American homegrown terrorists:

The Dearbornistan Boys:
Islamic Terrorists Osma Sabhi Abulhassan & Ali Houssaiky
* In addition to the money-laundering charge, the Dearbornistan Terror Boys were charged with Soliciting or Providing Support for an Act of Terrorism.
* The Dearbornistan Terror Boys claim that they had the flight manifests and airport security info because the mother of Ali Houssaiky works for Aircraft Services International Group at Detroit Metro Airport.
GUH-REAT! The mother of an apparent terrorist works at the airport in the center of Islamerica. That makes me feel sooooo much better. And she’s aiding and abetting her terrorist son. Awesome!
Back in 2001, members of the Detroit Terror Cell worked for SkyChef at Detroit Metro Airport, with full access to planes. Now it’s Mommy Jihad who apparently has access to secure information and gave it to her son.
What is Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff going to do about that? What is the TSA going to do to ensure that contractors–not just passengers–at America’s airports are not engaging in nefarious behavior along with their Islamic 6,000 cellphone chip detonator-touting sons?
Not a whole lot, as far as we can tell.
And that’s the important distinction in this case. The Feds did not catch these men. A local, Middle America County Sheriff and his deputies did. And the ineffective Justice Department didn’t prosecute them. The State of Ohio did. Ohio has its own counter-terrorism laws, sick of the Feds doing little or nothing to stop the many Islamic terrorists and co-conspirators in the State.
Ohio was tired of a do-nothing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Special Agent in Charge, , and equally complacent Justice Department and FBI officials.
We’re lucky that Sheriff Larry Mincks and his men caught the All-American Dearbornistan terrorists, and not the FBI and U.S. Attorney in their native Dearborn. Had that been the case, nothing would have happened to them. As I’ve written, allows most terror suspects to , throwing them hints that it’s time to escape. Then, he gets the fanfare of announcing indictments, but the terrorists never face justice. In this case, the Dearbornistan Boys would have likely been set free.
Kudos to Sheriff Mincks and Ohio prosecutors. They get it.

As the French might say, “Quelle coincidence.” Just in time for the Islamic terror plot on British planes, the movie “Snakes on a Plane” comes out, next week.
The movie is about mobsters who manage to get poisonous snakes on a plane and release them to kill a witness in a trial.
When the video of the “Snakes on a Plane” theme song (by Cobra Starship) came out, I linked to it and said the video images of how the snakes were snuck on the plane seemed very implausible. Still, to tell me if it has ever happened that snakes were snuck on planes, and whether it is possible. A couple of left-wing websites made fun of me over this.
But now federal security experts say it is in fact plausible that poisonous snakes could be snuck on planes and, in fact, have been in some cases.

Said one veteran federal agent involved in airport security and counter-terrorism:

Easy to do. You could hide it in a lead bag. Hell, you could probably stick it in a bag. I doubt if screeners are trained to find these things. When the bag is X-rayed, they’d see the bones and probably wonder what the heck. If the snake was “sedated” you could just carry it on as a “trouser snake” since it won’t set off the X-ray.

Said another federal agent whose job was testing airport security for the TSA:

Easy. Just hide them in an opaque container like a film shield bag.

Another federal agent in the know:

I think it would be easy to get a snake on board an aircraft. Just roll it up in one of those Holiday Inn towels.

We’ll post our review of the movie, early next Friday Morning.

More “Snakes on a Plane” stuff , , and .

As a result of this morning’s publication of details of a Muslim plot to blow up planes from Britain to America, Federal Air Marshals are off to London in droves for an extended period of time.
There are a huge number–hundreds–of FAMs being deployed. All days off and leaves are cancelled, and they are all in the air.
Homeland Security’s Michael Chertoff told FOX News about an increased presence of Air Marshals (although he was not clear about numbers and locations, thankfully), this morning, and Air Marshals confirmed it. The operational details are–correctly–still confidential. But if you are flying from the British Isles to the States in the near future, you will be safe (unless you’re a terrorist).

Federal Air Marshals: Glad They’re on Board
Federal Air Marshals say this is the biggest operation they’ve done since Lebanon-Cyprus evacuations of Hezbollah-supporting “Americans” done a month ago when there were 150 Federal Air Marshals in the air on those planes–for obvious reasons.

Liquid bombs on flights brought on by homegrown Muslims. Cellphone and electronic detonators. Here we go again.
Those are the details of the hijacking and bombing plot for multiple flights from Britain to the U.S., announced last night. But it shouldn’t be news. More like a “Groundhog Day” repetition.
Last night, I wrote about , 2 Dearbornistan boys who were caught with flight passenger info and details on airport security checkpoints. They also admitted to buying 600 cellphones and extracting the chips from them, used as detonators for bombs.

Deja Vu?: Ramzi Yousef, Electronic Detonators,
Earlier this year, I wrote about how Al-Qaeda’s 1993 World Trade Center mastermind Ramzi Yousef (nephew of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed) . In 2001, (liquid nitroglycerin) and was caught brewing them in his apartment in the Philippines, when some of it exploded. Just like the British plot, he planned a 1995 plot to use liquid bombs in 10-12 planes all over the American skies. The operation was called “Operation Bojinka” (“Operation Chaos in the Sky”). Here’s an excerpt of what I wrote then:

Yousef escaped the WTC, but in January 1995, federal officials captured him, uncovering a plot to blow up eleven U.S. commercial aircraft in a day of terrorist rage, Operation Bojinka (meaning “Chaos in the Sky”). While mixing liquid explosive bombs designed to pass through airport metal detectors, Yousef started a fire in his Manila apartment, forcing him to flee. (Editor’s note: As WND was preparing for publication, Andrea Mitchell of NBC News reported that authorities are searching an apartment hotel in Manila, Philippines, which is the same apartment hotel where Ramzi Yousef lived.) According to the Washington Post (10/7/95), his computer, detailing the plot and another to chemically poison U.S. air and drinking water, identified him and soon he was extradited to the U.S. from Pakistan to stand trial.

My law enforcement sources say that the 21 homegrown British Muslim plotters were working for Islamic Jihad, a component of the Al-Qaeda network. Al Qaeda deputy Ayman Al-Zawahiri was the chief of Egyptian Islamic Jihad before he got together with Bin Laden.
So were the boys from Dearbornistan plotting the same thing with their passenger lists and airport security checkpoint info? And with their cellphone chips? Those are both elements involved in the British plots. And whether or not they were part of an orchestrated campaign with the Brit plotters, they were involved in something very nefarious.
While Islamic terrorists are often very creative, sometimes they aren’t.
Sometimes their plots are just deja vu all over again.
But what will we do about it? Are we going to insist on no watches on planes? Will the no liquid or drink ban go on forever?
Or will we finally do what the Israelis do? They focus on individuals–ie. Muslims, NOT women’s breast milk and gay men carrying hair gel.
When will Michael Chertoff’s “sensitivity” end–and when will the real security start?

The next time you’re told that all-American Muslim boys play football and are “just like us,” think again.
Take Ali Houssaiky of Dearborn, Michigan, currently residing in a holding cell in an Ohio jail.

On the Football Field & Off:
Islamic Terrorists Osma Sabhi Abulhassan & Ali Houssaiky
In 2003, he was an Honorable Mention on the Michigan Class-A All-State Football Team. The Fordson High School Football Team he co-captained was hailed in USA Today for its observance of Ramadan fasting. In 2004, he got a full scholarship to play football at Grand Valley State University. And now in 2006, this All-American running back is a pot-smoking Islamic terrorist.
Just like us?
On Tuesday, Houssaiky, age 20, and his friend, Osma Sabhi Abulhassan (Osma is pronounced “Osama”), also 20 and also from Dearborn, were caught in Marietta, Ohio with several cellphones and about $10,000 in cash. They admitted to buying over 600 pay-as-you-go TracFone cellphones, removing the chips, and selling them to their “boss” for $5 (each) over the cost of the phones. The chips are used in bombs by Islamic terrorist groups and have been used to detonate many carbombs. And their “boss” is the subject of an open investigation by the FBI.
Washington County, Ohio Sheriff Larry Mincks–whose men arrested the two–says there are frequent visits to the area by Middle Eastern men driving rental cars usually from Michigan or Virginia, “trying to purchase as many TracFones as they can,” and shipping them to the Middle East. Now, I know why it’s so hard for me to find a TracFone. Store clerks at CVS et al say Arabs all over the Detroit area have been buying them out in bulk amounts.
Houssaiky and Abulhassan had a map with Wal-Marts that sold the phones circled all the way to North and South Carolina. And they lied to police about why they bought the phones. And they admitted to smoking pot, the least of the circumstances of concern.
Most disturbing, the two had private flight information, passenger lists and information, and other information concerning airport security checkpoints and flights in the American skies. For now, they have been charged with “money laundering to aid terrorism,” after initial arrests for obstructing official business after lying to police.
Their travel path for purchasing the phones is similar to that of convicted Hezbollah cigarette smugglers, who also traveled by vehicle from Michigan to North Carolina and back to launder money and send it to Hezbollah. But this time, it appears that more than laundering was being planned.
What were the two 20-year-old “All-American” kids going to do with the flight and passenger information? Why did they have it on their persons if they were driving, not flying? Were they planning a flight later on to another location along with the bomb-detonating cell-phone chips? Were the detonators meant for Iraq car bombs, bombs in Lebanon against Israeli soldiers, or for Americans right here on our shores?
After an arraignment hearing in an Ohio courtroom, Houssaiky shouted to reporters that he was “doing my job.” Just what was his “job”? Do Homeland Security and the FBI want to face facts that these are not the only two Muslim All-American boys raised in this country performing that “job”?
Houssaiky’s alma mater, Dearborn’s Fordson High School, is the most Muslim populated public high school in America. Hate is prevalent in the tax-funded school, and many of its students have been participating in the pro-Hezbollah rallies in town. The school is “Hezbollah High.” Did Houssaiky learn it is okay to participate in this “job” from his peers there? From his mosque? Or some other Dearbornistan institution?

Diana Houssaiky:
Whining Sister of Dearbornistan Terror Boy Ali Houssaiky
In the face of mounting evidence against her brother, Diana Houssaiky claims the arrest of her brother is discrimination because “his name is Ali and his friends name is Osma.” Actually, the discrimination is that Washington County, Ohio Deputy Sheriffs–instead of immediately cuffing the potential terrorists–gave them bottled water and let them sit in the grass to drink it.
The Houssaiky family has called the Michigan American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee to complain about the arrest and ensuing investigation. The organization, headed by “former” Islamic terrorist and FBI award revokee , is telling people “not to rush to judgment.”
600 cellphone chips. A boss under investigation by the FBI. $10,000 in cash. Passenger lists from flights and info on airport security checkpoints. Lying to police about it. They hail from Dearborn, home to thousands of Hezbollah-supporting Islamists. And we are not supposed to “rush to judgment”?
Actually, it’s proof that we’re not rushing to judgment enough in America.
And proof that playing football or being raised in America doesn’t always mean you’re “just like us.”
Sometimes it means you’re a terrorist in development.

On the heels of yesterday’s news that –and are somewhere in America (it was 11, but they found one in Minnesota), it’s hardly good news that admissions to foreigners is up at America’s colleges and universities. And that’s just at the graduate level.
According to the Council of Graduate Schools, U.S. graduate schools offered admission to 12% more foreign students this year than in 2005. That’s not cause for celebration and isn’t a sign of “recovery” as the organization claims. It’s a sign of delusion.
There is a sliver of a silver lining, though: Admissions offers to students from the Middle East declined by 2% for the first time (last year, they went up 12%). That, too, is mitigated by the fact that many terror-supporting Muslims live in Europe, not the Mid-East. And many come here ostensibly to study, but actually for more nefarious purposes.

So much for feminist activists who claim they’re for equality in sports. They aren’t.
Proof of that is what happened to a men’s synchronized swim team. The San Francisco Tsunami Swim Club has been barred from a meet at Stanford University. The International Olympic Committee designated synchronized swimming as a “women-only” sport and barred the men from performing an exhibition at the FINA World Masters Championships.
On the other hand, it’s hard to say whether men who participate in synchronized swimming are really men. And in this case, the team is from San Francisco (not that there’s anything wrong with that).
Read the hilarious details of these “men” who just want to dance in the water.
Nothing in this post is to be interpreted as an endorsement of the view that synchronized swimming is a sport. It isn’t.

Why should you care about the inside baseball at ICE–Immigration & Customs Enforcement–a dysfunctional government agency that is supposed to enforce immigration laws?
Because what happens there gravely affects our nation’s security in terms of interior enforcement and deportation of illegal aliens. Those who run ICE at various levels affect immigration enforcement policy more than people realize.
One of those inside baseball moves of interest concerns Matthew Albence–a young (age 36), rapidly-advancing former INS agent. On Monday, he started his new assignment as head of the Office of Investigations at the ICE Academy, where all new ICE agents are trained (at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Georgia).

Matthew Albence: New ICE Academy Investigations Chief
Since Albence comes from the immigration side of things, this is a good thing–given that immigration is now supposed to be a primary focus of ICE. Some agents have said Albence has little investigative experience, but other instructors can make up for that. Albence’s immigration knowledge and experience is far more important, and he is a good leader, we’re told.
We think he knows how to look at crime situations and draw conclusions, as he did in a dissertation he wrote on robberies in Illinois (Albence, Matthew T., 1994. “Convenient Targets: An Examination of Convenience Store Robberies in Carbondale, Illinois, From 1986 to 1993.” Southern Illinois University at Carbondale), which is among recommended reading by several agencies.
We don’t know Albence (sorry, ICE brass–he’s not one of our sources), but we know many agents who do and who’ve worked with him. Albence was the ICE’s Deputy Special Agent in Charge for Michigan and Ohio. While his boss, Michigan/Ohio ICE Special Agent in Charge a/k/a “Abu Moskowitz,” was and remains universally hated by his agents and colleagues, Albence had a lot of fans–even among legacy Customs agents–among those who’ve dealt with him. We only wish–in the heart of Islamic America–that Islamo-panderer Abu Moskowitz left and Albence stayed.
One drawback is that Albence worked under top ICE tyrant and egomaniac , ICE Director of Detention and Removal Operations. Torres is the incompetent, unqualified ICE official who has and wasted hundreds of thousands of taxpayer money on a week-long ICE confab featuring ). If there is a human Darth Vader, he is it (only not as smart or articulate).
But we know that Torres’ ethics (or, rather, extreme lack thereof) did not rub off on Albence or the many who’ve had the unfortunate experience of working for ICE’s wicked version of (Torres)–with all due apologies to and Larry David.
We’re hoping that Albence’s youth and dedication to immigration enforcement will signal a change from the old guard of ICE politicos like Abu Moskowitz–more interested in enhancing their careers than protecting the country–to fresher blood (from both the former INS and Customs sides of ICE) and stronger immigration enforcement.
Only time will tell. Matt Albence, we wish you the best.
[We have many ICE agent friends who come from both the former INS and Customs agencies, parts of which became ICE. And we think both branches investigated important crimes. Hopefully, agents won’t come down on us for appearing to “favor” one side or the other, as is often the case. We think the merger of these two very different agencies was asinine.]

How do you spell “hypocrisy”? I spell it, “E-L-A-H-I.” That’s the last name of the latest Mel Gibson critic, .
A true sign that the uproar over Mel Gibson’s anti-Semitic comments have truly gotten out of hand is when an openly anti-Semitic Muslim cleric chastises Mel Gibson for being anti-Semitic. That cleric is Elahi.

Takes One to Know One?:
Should This Man Be Calling Mel Gibson an Anti-Semite?

Extremist Love Gaze: Louis Farrakhan and
I’ve written a great deal about Elahi (, , , , , and , among many others), who is an agent of the Government of Iran and terrorist group Hezbollah. The guy constantly defends Iran, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s anti-Semitic rantings, and terrorist groups Hezbollah and HAMAS. And he’s been given a forum to do so by spineless, back-stabbing phony, Detroit Spews Editorial Page Editor Nolan Finley, who gave Hezbollah agent Elahi a regular column in the paper.
Incredibly, yesterday, the Detroit Spews asked Elahi to comment on Mel Gibson’s comments. Instead of shutting his extremist mouth, Elahi chose to accuse Gibson of anti-Semitism which pales in comparison with his own. And he used the opportunity to attack Israel–of course! He disagreed with Gibson that Jews are responsible for all wars, just some of them. Well, thanks for the clarification, buddy.
Pot. Kettle. Black. Mohammed Ali Elahi. Nolan Finley.
Of note is that Elahi was asked whether Gibson can rehabilitate himself from his comments. Given Elahi’s experience, the answer should be: Just put on a Shia Islamic turban and robe, lie on your application for U.S. citizenship, support Hezbollah and Iran, and start an extremist mosque where many of your congregants are convicted of Hezbollah-related crimes. If Mel Gibson did that, he’d have federal officials (like ) gushing all over him, in addition to an obtuse Detroit News opinion editor.
As Elahi knows, doing those things will allow one to get away with statements that would make Mel Gibson blush.
Hmmm . . . Should a Guy Who Embraces Hezbollah Lecture Mel Gibson?
Hezbollah’s Mohammed Fadlallah & Imam Mohammed Ali Elahi
