Boston Bombing Suspects Inspired by Muslim Cleric | Newsmax

Anwar al-Awlaki

The younger of the two brothers accused of the Boston Marathon bombings has said  that the pair were inspired by watching online videos of Anwar al-Awlaki, an  American citizen who was killed by a U.S. drone strike.
Dzhokhar  Tsarnaev, 19, told investigators that he and his older brother Tamerlan were  motivated in part by the radical Muslim cleric who was killed by the U.S. in  Yemen on September 30, 2011, reports The Wall Street Journal.
U.S. government officials  said that al-Awlaki was a senior talent recruiter and motivator who was involved  in planning terrorist operations for al-Qaida.  He reportedly played a role in  the radicalization of the so-called underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab  of Nigeria, who pleaded guilty of trying to blow up an American-bound airplane  on Christmas Day, 2009.

Al-Awlaki had  many of his videos posted on YouTube until they were removed following a request  from Congress in November 2010. According to CNN, however, the Dagestan wing of  the Caucasus Emirate, a jihadist group fighting to create an Islamic state in  the region, also posted videos of al-Awlaki.
The Tsarnaev brothers, of  Chechen origin, spent much of their childhood in Dagestan before emigrating to  the U.S. with their family in the early 2000s. Investigators, however, have  reportedly not found evidence of direct contact between the Tsarnaev brothers  and the cleric.
They are still trying to determine whether the brothers  carried out their alleged attack on their own or had help from others.  Of  particular interest is a six month trip that Tamerlan made to Russia in 2012.  That came after Russian law enforcement officials told their American  counterparts that they suspected him of having become radicalized.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was killed in a shootout with police on April 18, three  days after the bombings, while Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was badly wounded in the  exchange of gunfire, was captured the next day. He is currently in a prison  hospital at Fort Devens, Mass.
Tsarnaev told interrogators that he and  his older brother had considered carrying out an attack on July 4 but instead  chose April 15, Patriots’ Day in Mass., because the bombs were ready earlier  than expected, according to several reports.
He said the brothers built  their pressure-cooker bombs in the older brother’s apartment in Cambridge,  Mass., which he shared with his wife, Katherine Russell, and their child.
Female DNA and fingerprints found on a bomb fragment recovered from the  attacks do not match the widow, reports CBS News. The FBI collected DNA and hair  samples from Russell at her parents’ home in North Kingstown, Rhode Island on  Monday.
Russell is not a suspect and has not been charged, but  investigators want to question her further to find out what, if anything, she  knew about her husband’s plans.
On Wednesday, prosecutors charged two  19-year-old college friends of the younger brother, Dias Kadyrbayev and Axamat  Tazhayakov, both from Kazakhstan, with helping to hide evidence of the bombs by  discarding a backpack containing gutted fireworks.  They also charged a third  friend, 19-year-old Robel Phillipos, with lying to prosecutors. None of the  three has entered a plea.
According to an affidavit unsealed Wednesday,   after seeing the widely released surveillance video of the suspects,  Kadyrbayev  sent his friend a text saying that he resembled one of them,  to which Tsarnaev  responded, “LoL, you better not text me.”
He also texted Kadyrbayev to  say “Come to my room and take whatever you want,” said the affidavit, noting  “Kadyrbayev knew when he saw the empty fireworks that Tsarnaev was involved in  the marathon bombing. Kadyrbayev decided to remove the backpack from the room in  order to help his friend Tsarnaev avoid trouble.”

BBC News – First woman put on FBI’s ‘Most Wanted Terrorist’ list

There are rewards totalling $2m for the capture of Joanne Chesimard

A fugitive convicted killer has become the first woman to be put on the FBI’s list of “Most Wanted Terrorists”.

Joanne Chesimard, a member of the Black Liberation Army also known as Assata Shakur, fled to Cuba in 1979 after escaping from a prison where she was serving a life sentence for murder.

She is listed as a domestic terrorist on the FBI website, although she is not considered to pose a new threat.

A fugitive convicted killer has become the first woman to be put on the FBI’s list of “Most Wanted Terrorists”.

Joanne Chesimard, a member of the Black Liberation Army also known as Assata Shakur, fled to Cuba in 1979 after escaping from a prison where she was serving a life sentence for murder.

She is listed as a domestic terrorist on the FBI website, although she is not considered to pose a new threat.

There are rewards totalling $2m (£1.3m) for information leading to her capture.

Chesimard is thought still to be living in Cuba, which does not have an extradition treaty with the US and is believed to be providing shelter to an estimated 70 people sought by the US authorities.

However, in April the Cuban authorities returned a Florida couple who were accused of kidnapping their two young sons after losing a custody battle with the boys’ grandparents.

‘Flaunts her freedom’

Chesimard was a leader of the Black Liberation Army, which the FBI described as a revolutionary extremist organisation responsible for killing more than a dozen US police officers in the 1970s and 1980s.

In 1973, she and two accomplices were stopped on the New Jersey Turnpike by two troopers from the New Jersey State Police. They then opened fire on the troopers, wounding one and killing the other “execution-style” at point-blank range, according to the FBI. One of Chesimard’s accomplices died in the shootout; the other remains in jail.

In 1977, Chesimard was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of first degree murder, assault and battery of a police officer, assault with a dangerous weapon, assault with intent to kill, illegal possession of a weapon, and armed robbery.

However, two years later she broke out of the Clinton Correctional Facility in New Jersey with the help of armed members of the Black Liberation Army, They drove a van into the prison and then took her out.

Chesimard spent the next few years living in safe houses in the US before surfacing in Cuba in 1984, New Jersey State Police said.

“Of those responsible, one is dead, one is in jail, and one was broken out of jail and remains free in Cuba,” said NJSP Superintendent Col Rick Fuentes. “Joanne Chesimard… flaunts her freedom in the face of this horrific crime”.

Chesimard had been granted political asylum in Cuba, and given “the pulpit to preach and profess, stirring supporters and groups to mobilise against the US by any means necessary”, Col Fuentes added.

The FBI is offering a reward of up to $1m (640,000) for information leading to her capture, while the state of New Jersey is separately offering another $1m.

FBI agent Aaron Ford said that the agency would “pursue justice, no matter how long it takes”.

Michael Timmis: A Man for All Springs 2013 | James Pat Guerréro

I am on a Spring day in reference to Michael Timmis: Spring is the season of graduation » Naples Daily News.  Michael Timmis is still the Chairman of the Board of Ave Maria University.  In my last Euroclydon post I listed the issues of Michael Timmis’ position that needed an earnest time’s resolving.  One of them was regarding the taxpayers’ expense to fund the Ave Maria Rural Stewardship.  As listed last time and as to be listed again for future problem-solving capabilities of good and healthy minds, here is the fourth issue (out-of-order but not ordered out).

4.  Immoral use of taxpayer funds for Jackson Laboratory in Ave Maria Rural Stewardship

But before moving forward, some history is in order.  Jeb Bush’s rhinoceroses administration policed the Ave Maria Rural Stewardship with the help of environmentally inscribing minds of Collier county and state, some deep-seated government officials to be named in future posts.  This policy occurred at the same time that Thomas Monaghan came hunting for education from Michigan, in the early first decade of the present century.  It is correct to write that there never was a Rural Stewardship of any like, kind and quality in Florida.  Also, my reference supports taxpayer funding of the Ave Maria Rural Stewardship, and no longer Jackson Laboratory since it lost its bloody battle in the embryonic stem cell research debate.

It is correct to present that the environment was el número uno to consider rural stewardship, not catholic higher education.  The catalyst, though, was a financier, or financiers.  The financiers mainly on the plate were taxpayers.  Was Michael Timmis a financier? According to his own writing, he was not.  But this is unclear as to whether guilt or innocence applies which depends on whether spending or cutting is occurring. Here’s his quote from the Michael Timmis: Spring is the season of graduation » Naples Daily News article.

To begin with, he [Thomas Monaghan] made a far-sighted decision to embrace the innovative Rural Land Stewardship Program. This program enabled the town and university to be developed in a compact and sustainable way, with 17,000 acres of environmentally important land permanently preserved for flow ways and habitat at no cost to the taxpayers.

… at no cost to the taxpayers. (My italics.)  Well, that’s putting it wildly, but that is simply not true.  How can 17,000 acres of land and water mitigation and the increasing development of it not belong to the taxpayers?  Timmis is absolutely wrong and should not only account but also morally recover.  Michael Timmis chaired the board of trustees that elected for president of Ave Maria University Jim Towey, succeeding Nicholas Healy.

Murder in Boston and Philadelphia | Gingrich Productions

Murder in Boston and Philadelphia

Callista and I are in London today to attend the funeral of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. I will write more about Baroness Thatcher’s extraordinary life and her incomparable legacy in Friday’s newsletter.

But as we celebrate the life of Margaret Thatcher, we mourn the loss of life from Monday’s terror bombings in Boston. Callista and I have in our prayers the families of the murder victims and all those who have been injured. We must be relentless as a nation in finding out who committed this atrocity and ensuring that they receive swift justice.

The bombings in Boston were a barbaric devastation of many innocent lives. Facts are still scarce, but we know that the true loss from these acts will be immeasurable. The lives not lived, the contributions not made, the time not spent, the plans unfulfilled, we will never know. But their loss is real. An eight-year-old boy was among those who died. He had just hugged his father who had completed the race before one of the bombs exploded. Reports indicate that many of the injured have lost limbs, including many children. The cruelty is inhuman.

The killing and maiming at the marathon remind us how fragile human life remains, and brought back a sense of vulnerability that many Americans have not felt for years.

We have watched for several decades as a culture of death has grown both here and abroad. Sometimes the culture of death leads to terrorist attacks upon the innocent. At other times the culture of death creates an entire industry of killing.

The callous acts of murder in Boston share the newspaper columns today with horrible details from the Gosnell murder trial in Philadelphia, where jurors are hearing testimony about the atrocities committed for decades against women and children at the hands of Kermit Gosnell and his staff at the “Women’s Medical Society” abortion clinic in West Philadelphia.

After what can only be described as a self-imposed embargo, the national media is ever so slowly beginning to cover the Gosnell murder trial.

It is amazing that the media has been slow to cover this story.

The Gosnell trial challenges the conscience of our nation – and its media – about abortion perhaps more than any other event since the Supreme Court sanctioned abortion on demand as a constitutional right in its 1973 decision Roe v. Wade.

If you want to know what happens to a society when it decides that some category of lives are not worthy of the protection of the law, read the grand jury report in the Gosnell case. The grand jury testimony indicates that Kermit Gosnell is a mass murderer.

But first, a warning. The descriptions in the report are harrowing, as are the excerpts below. Be prepared.

Here are among the most chilling excerpts from the report:

•  [H]e regularly and illegally delivered live, viable, babies in the third trimester of pregnancy – and then murdered these newborns by severing their spinal cords with scissors. The medical practice by which he carried out this business was a filthy fraud in which he overdosed his patients with dangerous drugs, spread venereal disease among them with infected instruments, perforated their wombs and bowels – and, on at least two occasions, caused their deaths.
• Karnamaya Mongar …was a 41-year old, refugee who had recently come to the United States from a resettlement camp in Nepal…She received repeated unmonitored, unrecorded intravenous injections of Demerol, a sedative seldom used in recent years because of its dangers…After several hours, Mrs. Mongar simply stopped breathing.
• Scattered throughout, in cabinets, in the basement, in a freezer, in jars and bags and plastic jugs, were fetal remains. It was a baby charnel house.
• When you perform late-term “abortions” by inducing labor, you get babies. Live, breathing, squirming babies. By 24 weeks, most babies born prematurely will survive if they receive appropriate medical care…Gosnell had a simple solution for the unwanted babies he delivered: he killed them…The way he ensured fetal demise was by sticking scissors into the back of the baby’s neck and cutting the spinal cord. He called that “snipping.” Over the years, there were hundreds of “snippings.”
• Gosnell made little effort to hide his illegal abortion practice. But there were some, “the really big ones,” that even he was afraid to perform in front of others. These abortions were scheduled for Sundays, a day when the clinic was closed and none of the regular employees were present. Only one person was allowed to assist with these special cases – Gosnell’s wife.
• Pennsylvania is not a third-world country. There were several oversight agencies that stumbled upon and should have shut down Kermit Gosnell long ago. But none of them did, not even after Karnamaya Mongar’s death. In the end, Gosnell was only caught by accident, when police raided his offices to seize evidence of his illegal prescription selling.

You can download the full Gosnell Grand Jury Report here.

Reading the report is hard. It will make you weep. But I urge you to read it. For I believe if we hope to be a moral nation, America must come to terms with the Gosnell Grand Jury Report and what it means for our laws and for our public life.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania carries a special burden in this regard. As the grand jury report makes painstakingly clear, time after time, local and state officials in Pennsylvania looked the other way when presented with credible information that something was terribly wrong at the Gosnell abortion clinic.

In fact, the largest part of the report is an 82-page section titled “How Did This Go On So Long?” In it, we learn that as far back as December 2001 – a full nine years before the clinic was finally shut down following a FBI raid – the Pennsylvania Department of State received a detailed written complaint about Gosnell’s clinic. But it was to no avail. The Department took no meaningful follow up action. It failed to subpoena records. It also failed to conduct an inspection of the clinic, which would have almost certainly led to its immediate shut down. And when the Department’s investigation about the complaint was finally handed over to prosecuting attorneys two years later, the state attorneys declined to prosecute.

The willful blindness that took place among a number of responsible state officials in Pennsylvania calls to mind a similar pattern of avoidance of responsibility at Penn State that was revealed in the Sandusky sexual abuse trial. In both the Sandusky and Gosnell cases, a decade passed between the time credible complaints first surfaced against these monsters and the time when they were finally held to account.

In the Sandusky case, the Pennsylvania State Board of University Trustees decided that it had a responsibility to compile a full accounting of the failure of Penn State personnel to respond and report to public authorities the sexual abuse of children by Sandusky. It also wanted to know how such abuse could even take place within University facilities or under the auspices of University programs for youth. It therefore established a special investigative task force to investigate. And in turn, the task force engaged former FBI Director Louis Freeh and his law firm Freeh Sporkin & Sullivan to investigate.

It is time for the Governor of Pennsylvania and/or the Pennsylvania legislature to do something similar. There should be a special investigation undertaken by an independent body that addresses the same question raised by the Grand Jury Report: “How Did This Go On So Long in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania?”. The citizens of the Commonwealth have a right to know how and why its public officials failed in their duties to protect women and children. The special investigation should also make recommendations to the Pennsylvania legislature.

Louis Freeh and his team did a superb job leading the investigation of Penn State. He is exactly the type of person to lead up such an investigation of what went wrong in Pennsylvania.

The Gosnell trial is about more than Gosnell’s criminal acts, as horrific as they are. And it is about more than abortion, as harmful and deadly as abortion is to women and children. The Gosnell trial is also about whether we as individuals and as a culture will ultimately decide to reject the idea that we can arbitrarily decide without consequence who lives and who dies and instead re-embrace the idea that we will value and affirm every life, born and unborn.

In the wake of the horrific vision of a culture of death that is being revealed in Philadelphia and in Boston, which side will you be on?

Your Friend,
Newt

Newt Gingrich

To receive Newt’s weekly newsletter, click here.

Monday’s news that Lady Thatcher had passed away brought both sadness and yet also happy memories for Callista and me.

We had spent a long dinner in London with Lady Thatcher and her husband Sir Dennis and two of our closest friends, Gay and Stanley Gaines. It was memorable because every contact with Lady Thatcher was memorable. I mean that literally; I cannot remember an occasion over a 20 year period where being with her failed to instruct, inspire and educate.

Lady Thatcher was incredibly smart and she was incredibly driven.

Her intelligence was apparent in her degree from Oxford in chemistry (her senior year focused on X-ray crystallography, maybe the only elected official to have done so in any country). She went on to become a lawyer, and her career was defined by hard work, applied intelligence, and enormous courage.

(As an aside for Downton Abbey lovers, her father, Alfred Roberts, served as mayor of Grantham.)

Lady Thatcher’s courage came in part from her experience as a 15 year old watching Winston Churchill save Great Britain from the Nazi onslaught when any reasonable person would have accepted defeat and sued for an armistice. She knew that raw courage mattered at historic moments.

She also had a deep belief in moral truth and in historic necessity. The best book I have read on the underlying lessons of Lady Thatcher’s leadership is Claire Berlinski’s There is No Alternative: Why Margaret Thatcher Matters. Berlinski makes the case that Thatcher as opposition leader in the 1970s came to the conclusion that socialism was immoral and the coal miners’ union was a direct threat to democratic self government. She entered office in 1979 determined to morally defeat socialism and practically defeat the coal miners’ union (which she did in 1984).

The Thatcher victory of 1979 was very important to the American Conservative movement and to the Republican Party. Republican National Committee Chairman Bill Brock had gone to London for election night and came home dazzled by the effectiveness of the Thatcher campaign in discrediting the Left. He brought a team of advertisers over to share with us what they had done and how they had done it. As a young Republican Congressman, Brock invited me to be part of this working group and I found it extraordinarily educational. Much of our 1980 effort was inspired and based upon the Thatcher effort a year earlier.

Thatcher was the second on the scene of the great triumvirate which would defeat Communism. In 1978 Pope John Paul II became the fist non-Italian in over 400 years and the first Pole in history to become Pope. His election was a direct challenge to Soviet atheism. One month after Prime Minister Thatcher was elected (May 4, 1979), the Pope went to Poland for a nine day pilgrimage which directly challenged Soviet control of Eastern Europe. (See our movie Nine Days that Changed the World about that pilgrimage.) Eighteen months after Thatcher’s election, Ronald Reagan won the Presidency. It is easy for an American to forget that he actually came into office third of the triumvirate.

Thatcher had earned the term “the Iron Lady” from Pravda three years before she became Prime Minister. Her unrelenting opposition to Communism was a major feature of her government and made her an ally of President Reagan and Pope John Paul II in defeating the Soviet Empire and leading to its collapse and disappearance.

The world would have been very different without Margaret Thatcher.

Every citizen can learn from her condemnation of socialism and her critique of big government.

Every political leader can learn from her courage.

We will miss her but we will never forget her.

On Same-Sex Marriage by the Cato Institute | James Pat Guerréro

I didn’t realize that the Cato Institute supported same-sex marriage, and so I posted a comment as follows:

“Didn’t know that Cato supported gay marriage. Not good.”

Then, I received a comment post from Mr. Bryce Henderson on the same Cato website as follows:

“Oh, it’s very good. It’s nice to see people who will stand up for the equal rights of all. …Personally, I think homosexuality and gay marriage is disgusting. I think it’s terrible that two men would adopt a child. HOWEVER, I support the liberty of people to do as they choose. I will teach my children that homosexuality is wrong, but homosexuals have the right to be together if they want and receive the same benefits as other citizens.”

Here is my comment response:

“Dear Mr. Henderson,

Why do you teach your children that homosexuality is wrong, and then teach that homosexuals have the “right” to be together?  (My quotes included.)  Quick arguments to dispute since you teach your children that homosexuality is “morally wrong,” which is good for your family.  I assume when you say “wrong,” you mean “morally wrong.”  Then, for argument sake, let’s say one of your children become homosexual – which you already know hurts him – what do you say to him now?

Let’s go back to your original premise – when you teach your children that homosexuality is morally wrong, you presumed they had the liberty to sin or not.   “Liberty” is your word that you used in “liberty of people to do as they choose.”  But as your child becomes older and practices homosexuality, now you say he has the “liberty of people to do as they choose.”  Have you not come full circle in what you believed, i.e., you believed in your premise, but ironically you didn’t believe in your premise?

Whether you have believed in your premise or not, either way you have switched from the first premise to the second premise to suit an end goal.  But by way of consistently believing one premise, that had no real significance.  Think this out, my friend, because the liberty is already very much presumed in almost everything we do or not do, as we become mortally immoral or morally immortal.”

UPDATED: Three Marines dead after shooting at Quantico – INSIDENOVA.COM: Crime & Police

Three Marines are dead after a shooting late Thursday night at Marine Corps Base Quantico.

Calling the incident “truly a tragic loss,” during a briefing early Friday morning, base commander Col. David Maxwell said officials received the first 911 call around 10:30 p.m.

Military police responded to Taylor Hall, part of the Officer Candidate School, and did not hear any more gunshots. They, along with Prince William County police officers, surrounded the building as they assessed the situation, according to Maxwell.

“There was not a standoff or barricades,” Maxwell said.

Residents were told to stay inside their homes and the base was under Force Protection Delta, meaning all base operations halt except for security.

READ MORE: Full transcript of Friday morning’s press briefing

Delta is the highest level under four terrorist threat levels used by military bases. Officials found the Marine dead at the scene “of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound,” Solivan said. Two other Marines, a male and a female, were also pronounced dead at the scene. Their names have not been released, and won’t be for 24 hours pending notification of their families.

Maxwell said all three were personnel assigned to the Officer Candidate School.

Quantico employed its “Giant Voice System,” a public address system, to notify people on base about the emergency and warn them to stay inside their homes. But at 11 p.m., confusion reigned, as many couldn’t understand what was being said.

“No one can understand the public address system on base! There is an active shooter, and all the PA keeps spitting out is mumbled words! Someone needs to fix that, and fix that NOW!” one poster wrote on the base Facebook page.

“We could not hear that announcement? What’s going on??” wrote another.

At 2:30 a.m., a Code Green, meaning a return to normal activities, was issued for the base.

Maxwell said military chaplains are helping Marines and their families to deal with the shooting and asked for continued support from everyone in the community.

The shooting, described as an “isolated incident,” remains under investigation, 1st Lt. Agustin Solivan said.

The Town of Quantico police department reported several residents called to report hearing gunshots near 3rd Avenue not long after the shooting was reported on base.

“A search of the area met with negative results, and the reports did not prove to be directly related to the events that occurred on the installation,” town police officials said Friday morning.

Anyone with information regarding the gunfire in the town of Quantico are encouraged to contact its police department a 703-640-7411.

In other words, property (government funding by taxation) belongs to Collier County residents and businesses. It's clear there's a push-down effect occurring with Project Peet (Jackson Laboratory project). The push-down anti-property culture begins with the Obama Administration, earmarks through spending by the Democratically controlled Congress, subsidizes the National Institutes of Health, subsidizes the national health chapters, feeds the educational institutions, subsidizes the Ave Maria University's president, Nicholas J.
