La Brea Tar Pits
Wynter, I gotta ask...

La Brea Tar Pits?

It IS an interesting curiosity. Never got to see it, though.

I recall seeing a road sign advertising the pits.

"Come see the pits in La Brea"

It almost sounded like "come see the slums of New York"

It was on I-10.

Kinda like the Thing out there near the AZ and NM border.

Yeah! That's always such a fascinating place to read and hear about, I'd love to see it someday

What's wrong with this picture?

FBI

Posted Sept. 17 2016

The FBI is asking for assistance in locating Ahmad Khan Rahami. Rahami is wanted for questioning in connection with an explosion that occurred on September 17, 2016, at approximately 8:30 p.m. in the vicinity of 135 West 23rd Street, New York, New York.

Rahami is a 28-year-old United States citizen of Afghan descent born on January 23, 1988, in Afghanistan. His last known address was in Elizabeth, New Jersey. He is about 5’ 6” tall and weighs approximately 200 pounds. Rahami has brown hair, brown eyes, and brown facial hair.

SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ARMED AND DANGEROUS

Note: The graphic, above, was posted at least 6 hours ago. (about 7am ET)

See link below

http://wkrn.com/2016/09/19/nypd-releases-posted-of-wanted-man-in-connection-with-nyc-blast/



Approximately 1-1/2 days later, the suspect is apprehended in NJ.

"Two days after explosions in New York and New Jersey, investigators in both cases say they want to talk with one man: Ahmad Khan Rahami.

Soon, they could have a chance."

http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/19/us/ahmad-khan-rahami/index.html

Recall that the video of the explosion taken from CCTV positioned across the street, was released only

in part, showing a few moments before the explosion. There was another video that was positioned much closer

the blast's epicenter. You can see the flying debris effects of the blast.

I remember thinking that there should be more to that same video showing the suspect come into view.



They did not immediately release Rahami's mug shot, until, at least, a day later. Certainly not long

before they captured Rahami.

It's for a good reason. Don't let the enemy know what you know about them or their activities.

Doing so, exposes your hand, alerts the enemy, giving him/her the knowledge to make necessary

changes in their routines, that can be counterproductive to your ability to overcome, your adversary.

The value of CCTVs on every street corner cannot be denied. - When a bomb goes off, it is a major

distraction. People react to the bomb and don't think about what they saw moments before.

Their fear and anxiety overwhelms them that they forget any suspicious details.

CCTV does NOT have that problem. It is a machine. No emotions, no nothing. It records the before

and sometimes after, such an event.

Not saying this will happen... but....

I wouldn't be surprised if this event is used, by some, to promote the use of CCTV and other means to monitor

the public. Promoting the concept of the government spying on the people. Exploiting fear as a means

to justify denying the public's right to privacy.

Another one of those "problem, reaction, solution" scenarios.

Certainly a clever means to open the door for nefarious activities, no matter how clandestine they may be.

Meanwhile, since 2001, there has been a quiet shift in global economic affairs.

Namely BRIC.

BRIC is an acronym for Brazil, Russia, India and China.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRIC

BRIC, it has been said, is the apparent shift in global economic power away from the developed G7 economies towards the developing world. - A power that can result in prevailing geopolitical influence, overcoming the traditional economies

through the solidarity of these 4 nations.

China is the major industrial powerhouse, today. (We Americans, and others, in the west, were dumb enough to give away our industrial infrastructure to China, in the name of the environment.)

Russia remains a military powerhouse, though it may not be as powerful as the US.

IF BRIC succeeds, there IS a major possibility that the US and it's western economic allies will collapse due to their

heavy reliance upon China to produce the diverse products, Americans use.

A MAJOR Achilles' heel.

Rather than combating the global economic threat, the West just gives more and more away to their enemies.

IMHO, that's insanity.

Mr. Ahmad Khan Rahami will claim mental illness provoked him blah b lah blahhhh

sigh

The thing that bothers me the most is he probably resides here at taxpayers expense, in section 8 housing and taken care of with free psychiatric and medical benefits.

Then he blows up the very people who support him.


Yep, and it won't be long before another group will learn from people like this. Then other groups will follow.

Of all of them.. it may one day be said:

Their voices weren't loud enough, so they blew things up.

What a bizzare post. It's as if the author has a desire to be known for some infamous act. I'm sure there are recipes out there on how to manufacture your own pressure cooker bomb, or shoot up a nightclub or two or three without all the tailcoat riding

Ugh

There are some people who are desperate enough do resort to extremes, just to get attention.

Even if they are never acknowledged.

Whether that post is legit, it IS bizarre. I agree.

Was it Rahami?

Was it really a homosexual? ie, someone pretending to be something they're not?



It could be a black homosexual, rather.... a black female homosexual. (wonders if Tommy's seen this)

They ARE out there.

Whatever the case may be, the individual is spewing some

hardcore socially liberal Democratic language, covering all the bases that are

important to that party.

No "Allah Akbar" chanting anywhere in the link, nor the rest of the Chelsea bombing story.

Just an fyi,

The "manifesto" page linked, was taken down. What you see on the link that I provided, above, is an

archive file of what that page originally contained.

IF it turns out that Rahami a) acted alone, b) his motives were more "anti-government abuse", which

IS an occurrence that every one is familiar with in one way or another....,

then I think it boils down to someone who flipped their lid and for lack of any other outlet, unloaded his

frustration the way he did.

Is it terror? No more than what the US has done, every day, around the world.

Terrorism comes in many forms. Often, it's not physical act of violence, but through some legal

means of coercion such as extortion through the law.

Think about this....

The mobster would tell a shop owner that he needs protection. He tells him what protection would cost

and the shop owner would have to make a decision.

What is the IRS?

What is the Social Security Number?

What is your driver's license/ID card?

You have to have it to "legally" work in the US.

If you don't, you be fined with some stiff penalties. If you don't pay your fine, you might be put in jail.

That's extortion.

Where's your privacy?

Where's your freedom?

See where I'm going with this?

IMHO all that's got to change. Probably will, but not in ways that will turn out to be desirable.

Sarcasm on -

the story that broke the cycle of the Rahami bombing story.

Jolie Pitt DIVORCE! in HUGE bold letters formerly reserved for stories like "WAR DECLARED!"

Why was this made such big news that the Chelsea bomber's arrest took a back seat?

Can a US citizen be held as an enemy combatant?

And there it is!

http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/20/politics/legal-requirements-terrorism-suspects-rahami/index.html





More Chiquita Nonsense News (An allusion to what has become a banana republic)

Check this out.....

"There are ongoing debates over the constitutional rights of non-citizens"

Whoops, stop right there!

They are NON-citizens!

Hello?

Since when did the US Constitution ever guarantee US constitutional rights to "non-citizens"?

Hello out there!

Did the elevator ever make it to the top—

Are we a skyscraper short of bricks?
