Valin Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Sayfullo Saipov: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know (Snip) 2. The Suspect Is an Uzbekh National Who Came to the U.S. Only a Few Years Ago & An Eyewitness Described the Pickup as a Home Depot Truck & Said It Was ‘Totaled’ Saipov “is an Uzbek national and came to the U.S. in 2010,” NBC News reported. AHe’s had a few traffic stops that trace his activity through multiple states over those years. According to NJ.com, “Police stopped Saipov in Mount Holly Springs Borough, Pennsylvania, just south of Carlisle, in March 2015 and gave police a Paterson, New Jersey address, according to court records. He also was stopped in 2012 in Palmyra, Pa., just east of Hershey, and also listed a Paterson address.” According to a producer for GMA, early on, the suspect was “approximately 30 years old, of Middle Eastern descent, carrying a Florida ID.” Authorities, without giving his name, lately said he was 29 and was not from New York, but they would not confirm where he was from. A review of online records do not show much of an obvious social media presence for the suspect, although he did have a Google Plus page with 2 followers and no photos on it. The page in his name had check ins at two restaurants from 2012, both in Brooklyn. One was a Russian restaurant and the other a Jewish cafe, according to the Google Plus check in. He may have had a Facebook page (which bears only a few photos), but Heavy is still working to verify its authenticity. (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clearvision Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Just great. He came here on a "diversity" visa in 2010. Designed to bring in people from countries under represented in the US. Is that an issue that needed addressing? I guess you get double benefit if they take out people in higher represented groups already in the country.

clearvision Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Note the name below.... Quote The Immigration Act of 1990 established the current and permanent Diversity Visa (DV) program, where 55,000 immigrant visas (later reduced to 50,000) are available in an annual lottery. It is also known as the Schumer program, after its sponsor. The lottery aims to diversify the immigrant population in the United States, by selecting applicants mostly from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States in the previous five years.[14] Starting in fiscal year 1999, 5,000 of the visas from the DV program are reserved for use by the NACARA program, so the number of immigrant visas available in the lottery is reduced to 50,000.[15] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Those Strange, Quickly-Emerging False Non-Terrorism Explanations Jim Geraghty November 1, 2017 A rarely-discussed aspect of post-9/11 terror attacks is that shortly after the first reports of casualties, a non-terrorism-related explanation tends to surface within a very short time. You probably recall the San Bernardino attack initially being described as “workplace violence.” The “underwear bomber” in 2009 was initially reported as someone attempting to set off firecrackers on a plane. There are still those who contend that the primary motive in the Orlando shooting was gay self-hatred on the part of the shooter, and not his pledge of loyalty to ISIS. Yesterday afternoon, we received word of a truck running people down on a bike path – in a manner similar to other truck attacks committed by jihadists in Europe – and an assailant allegedly having a gun. The site of this attack was not far from Ground Zero in Manhattan. The bike path runs parallel to the West Side Highway but is separated by a low median with intermittent trees – making it difficult, but not quite impossible, for a truck to accidentally veer onto the bike path. And yet… not too long after the initial reports, a Twitter account called “New York City Alerts,” describing itself as “a team of reporters tweeting NYC news and photos as it happens. We’re not official” started putting out new information that turned out to be… not accurate at all: BREAKING UPDATE: NYPD official confirms, the incident in downtown Manhattan is NOT terror related. — New York City Alerts (@NYCityAlerts) October 31, 2017 Per PD sources, a fight between two truck drivers lead to one truck hitting multiple pedestrians, and one truck driver opened fired — New York City Alerts (@NYCityAlerts) October 31, 2017 (Snip) But do these “PD” (police department?) sources even exist? If so, where did this idea of two truck drivers fighting come from? Who was this New York Police Department official who so quickly declared the “incident” was not terror-related? (Was this a misinterpretation of a comment that there was no preexisting intelligence or information indicating that a terror attack was imminent?) Perhaps those erroneous initial reports are genuine errors and confusion about a breaking news story. But… perhaps not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 New York City Caves to Islamist Pressure on Counterterrorism Investigations The Editors January 14, 2016 From universal pre-kindergarten to banning Central Park’s horse-carriages, Bill de Blasio has made clear his preference for frivolous liberal priorities over matters of more pressing public concern. Now, with its settlement in Hamid Hassan Raza v. City of New York, the mayor’s office has opted for “social justice” over public safety. After years of litigation, the De Blasio administration mayor’s office has settled a lawsuit with Islamist activists by agreeing to remove from the police department’s training regimen a valuable intelligence tool: a methodically assembled report, based on numerous terrorism investigations, that instructs investigators on the phenomenon of “radicalization” and that has been a crucial element of the counterterrorism strategy that has helped keep New York City safe since September 11, 2001. Under then-police commissioner Ray Kelly, the New York Police Department spearheaded a new counterterrorism strategy. During the previous decade, terrorism had been treated as a crime to be dealt with by standard law-enforcement tactics. Kelly instead sought to use intelligence to prevent attacks before they occurred. Written in 2007, “Radicalization in the West” was a vital component of these efforts. Even before the Islamic State had splintered from al-Qaeda, the report’s authors recognized that the central danger was not from plots that had been centrally planned in some overseas jihadist safe haven. Rather, it was from attacks designed and executed locally by ostensibly ordinary Muslims, more “inspired” by the ideology than directed by known terrorist organizations. But what were the signs of an aspiring terrorist? By studying concrete cases, the report’s authors detected a pattern: “Unremarkable” people, not necessarily Muslims at the start, with little if any criminal history, were being influenced by “internal and external factors” (perhaps a local imam, perhaps Internet websites) “to explore Salafi Islam”: a particularly strident, literalist interpretation of Islamic scripture. In some, the “self-identification” stage — often in conjunction with some life upheaval like job loss, death of a loved one, or political activism over international conflicts involving Muslims — led to a gradual abandonment of the person’s former identity and to association with Salafist ideologues. Some became indoctrinated wholesale, and some percentage of those moved on to participation in jihadist violence. Obviously, establishing and recognizing the pattern is a sensible way to allocate limited investigative resources. Far from smearing all Muslims as potential terrorists, the report tried to identify the small subset of Muslims who might be “radicalizing” so that authorities could interrupt plots before lives were threatened or lost. Nevertheless, a number of Muslim activist groups have long objected to the report’s drawing any connection between Muslims and a propensity toward terrorism. Some of these groups maintain that Muslim terrorists are contorting Islamic doctrine and that dignifying their claims implicitly condemns all of Islam. Others promote accommodation of Sharia (Islamic law) in Western societies and do not want their efforts tied to jihadists’ atrocities. Together, they have strongly opposed post-9/11 counterterrorism measures, claiming they constitute a “war against Islam” and an allegedly unconstitutional profiling of all Muslims.

Valin Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 West Side Highway Jihadist Indicted for Murder in Aid of Racketeering The killer has been indicted on terrorism-related charges that would support a death sentence. Andrew C. McCarthy November 25, 2017 The jihadist who killed eight New Yorkers and wounded twelve others in a truck attack along the West Side Highway’s pedestrian path has been indicted on potential death-penalty charges by a federal grand jury in lower Manhattan. Highlighting the 22 charges announced by the Justice Department on Tuesday are eight counts of murder in aid of racketeering, each of which carries a potential death sentence. There are, in addition, twelve counts of attempted murder in aid of racketeering, each having a ten-year maximum prison term. The indictment further alleges that Saipov provided material support to the Islamic State (ISIS), a designated terrorist organization under federal law. That charge carries a potential sentence of life imprisonment because Saipov’s material support resulted in murders. Finally, there is also a charge of violently damaging an automobile with reckless disregard for human life. The indictment, as expected, is a marked improvement on the complaint that supported Saipov’s federal arrest three weeks ago. The complaint did not charge the racketeering offenses and relied heavily on the problematic vehicle-damage charge.
