FBI raiding several locations in the Miami area in connection with..

terrorist plots, FBI Director Robert Mueller says.

:rofl:

I needed that laugh!

A very non-PC song by David Allen Coe. Title was Fuck Anita Bryant. Won't go into the lyrics, they would cause WAY too many flames. But the sentiment is right on. I say Fuck Anybody who tries to tell someone else how to live their life. I spent too many years guarding the right of free speech to not allow someone to tell somebody else off.

Anita could have her beliefs. I have mine. I won't go spouting mine in her ears, and I'd expect the same courtesy in return. But I'd probably have those expectations dashed.

sold so many recordings.

When she began her public campaign to denounce homosexuals she told the press she received death threats for taking a stand.

Asked about this, Gore Vidal said in an interview (paraphrased): "I doubt it. The only people who might want to see Anita Bryant dead are music lovers."

:rofl:

Maybe those plots weren't against Castro.

:rofl:

FBI Conducts Terrorism-Related Investigation In Liberty City

LIBERTY CITY, Fla. - Federal agents are conducting a terrorism-related investigation in Liberty City. Agents were at the Scott housing projects in the area of 15th Avenue and Northwest 62nd Street.

Several streets were cordoned off during the search.

A Miami Police Department SWAT team assisted federal agents in the search. Armed agents could be seen in the area.

Several warrants were served at the housing complex, NBC 6's Patricia Andreu reported.

If not, the reason they got caught is because no one in the building had seen them before.

But it could be possible.

I played GTA3 for a while but lost interest. It's way too crude, vulgar, and realistic. Sci-fi violence is one thing, but that game... no way. It's just vile.

It's also a ghetto over here. Believe me if there are any terrorists in Florida, they're not in Liberty City. Nobody wants to live there, they just have to.

This is more of J.E.B.'s campaign to keep black people in Florida from voting. Bet on it.

...that has been misidentified by avowed racists as a "ghetto", I know from first-hand experience that the fascists and thugs and terrorists like to exploit low-income and especially black or integrated communities in order to "dirty up" black communities.

This shit is getting really old, and so is your propaganda.

It has no relationship to what happens in reality.

Terrorism is connected to the drug trade, which is in turn run by fascists and governed by racists.

Huh?

:wtf:

Was it GTA III?

EDIT: I think Liberty City was used in GT II, the one modeled after NYC

Liberty City is the 'hood.

- tv, internet and radio.

It feels more like a made-for-tv event intended to 'manage' the public perception. A good jolt of fear to our already stressed out adrenal systems - but don't worry - - - bush is saving us while you watch it on the teevee!

"I'm gittin the terrorists before they hit us - I'm the POTUS. Know what's best for the Murkin people. Stay the course. After I kilt that guy in the big picture frame last week, I got lots of new IN - TEL... hehehe"

are going to hang out in the most policed area in miami?

this should be interesting. this is for jeb's 2008 campaign, right?

ellen fl

Terrorists, I doubt it.

They need to go to Calle Ocho for terrorists.

When the gummint went there to retrieve Elián Gonzalez, they should have raided the houses around his, and picked up some of the bombers and other assassins.

late last year with a weapons cache in his Broward County condo, that included C4 explosives. The judge in the case said, there was enough explosives to cause a major blood bath. Of course, the M$M ignores a story about a real terrorist.

Come ON. This has been in the papers. Atta was involved in the drug trade.

I ask you people again....who the HELL told you that the American people were going to buy your dumb propaganda.

I mean, really.

but I use to do home visits in Liberty City. I know the area well. It is not a hot bed of terrorism, nor is it the sort of place that terrorists like Atta want to live. Way too low budget and it takes to long too get into Section 8 housing anyway.

several of your posts have been deleted already in other threads.

:wtf:

MURDERED people, and they are running around loose, real local heroes to certain elements in this country.

To refresh anyone's memory who doesn't remember this story:

Previous criminality is pertinent

Background of Alvarez and Mitat is relevant to their impending trial, prosecutors affirm

From Progreso Weekly staff

As reported by The Associated Press on April 14, two Miami Cubans, Santiago Alvarez Magriña and Osvaldo Mitat, "allegedly planned and launched a commando raid against Fidel Castro's government in 2001 and maintained an arsenal in the Bahamas for future attacks, U.S. prosecutors said in a court document."

The document was filed Monday, March 27, at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, but its contents were released only last week. It was submitted by the federal prosecutors as a "response in opposition to the defendants' motion to exclude extrinsic-acts evidence," in other words, to explain to the judge why the defendants' previous criminal actions were relevant to the current charges of weapons possession and why those actions should be admitted in evidence.

"Alvarez and Mitat, both 64, are scheduled to stand trial May 8 in federal court in Fort Lauderdale on weapons charges," the AP report continued. "The case stems from the discovery of other stashes of military hardware at a Broward County apartment complex owned by Alvarez and in a large cooler being transported to Miami from the apartments. Both have pleaded not guilty and are being held without bail."

There's another twist to the case, the AP revealed. "After Alvarez's arrest last year, an informant told the FBI that Alvarez had a large cache of weapons on Guinchos Cay, an island in the Bahamas about 12 miles from Cuba," the agency reported. "In August 2005, the Coast Guard discovered numerous guns, grenades, grenade launchers and about five pounds of powerful C-4 plastic explosives."

Yep, they come and go, with the blessings of our right-wing pResident and his ilk.

Look at all the terrorist plots we've found with the wiretapping!

Vote for Pukes!

Since the FBI can handle any terra plot. :D

bring the troops home and let's end the war in Iraq.

Another terra alert or two, a few days of media-induced hysteria, and Bush numbers will go up again in the polls.

Bring the kids back, pronto!!!

when cheney's and rove's words come back to haunt them, the day we begin having regular terror attacks here, we'll have completely forgotten about these sickening speeches about "cut and run" and all that crap. they've created a nightmare, these sons of bitches, these psychotic oil chickenhawks.

FBI raids targets in domestic terrorism probe

Thursday, June 22, 2006; Posted: 8:03 p.m. EDT (00:03 GMT)

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- FBI agents were raiding sites in Miami, Florida, on Thursday in connection with a domestic terrorism investigation, law enforcement sources said.

The FBI said one search warrant was being executed in the Liberty City area of Miami. Officials said no weapons or bomb-making materials had been found in the searches so far.

"We are conducting a number of arrests and searches, and we'll have more about that when the operation is completed, probably tomorrow morning," FBI Director Robert Mueller told CNN's Larry King in an interview to be broadcast Thursday.

<snip>

in the area so far.

So to recap:

Iraq: NO WMDs except possibly for one rusty old can that Santorum and Lieberman will soon be selling on eBay.

Liberty City: NO WMDs so far, either.

Crawford: No W MDs, either, 'cause the Dumbass Supreme would have washed out of pre-med his first week :evilgrin:

So what's next for Liberty City? Prolonged bombing raids? Occupation? Sectarian strife and incipient civil war? Let's hope not...

A conspiracy case, with no evidence? An informant? We know about informants, Curve Ball was an informant that said that Saddam had nukes.

...posing as al qaeda. I wonder whose idea it was to blow up the Sears Tower? The agents or the defendants.

<snip>

"One law enforcement source said authorities arrested seven people who allegedly were conspiring to conduct attacks in the United States -- but that there was no immediate threat.

Five of those arrested are U.S. citizens, one is a legal U.S. resident and one is an illegal alien, the source told the Miami Herald on condition of anonymity.

Citing an investigation before Thursday's raid, the source said the group talked about an attack on the Sears Tower in Chicago and the FBI building in Miami -- but that they had no ``overt explosives or other things.''

The group thought that they ''were doing (the attacks) in conjunction with al Qaeda'' but were really dealing with undercover law enforcement, the official said.

It was ''pretty much talk, we were on top of them,'' the source said."

It's all there, and he will use it:

Terra! Terra! Fearmongering, and to top it all off, fear of black people.

This is a treasure trove for the Porcine Backside.

Now is anything that is different from us. It was only a matter of time before they got to the "Black Muslims" to make suburban whites shit in their collective pants.

Many times I have feared for my safety when those nation of Islam guys start waving around their produce at stop lights...

They interviewed some black dude with dread locks affiliated with the so called terra group and he mentioned that they observe the Christian religion--guess this raid is starting to look sort of stupid like most of the homeland security department's wild goose chases.

I think it was mentioned that these guys owned a restaurant and a karate class place...(pretty nefarious sounding)

Damn!!! What if they were also planning on opening a barber shop?
Thank God Amurika has been spared that particular threat!!!!

Terra! Terra! Terra! We've gotten a new terror story every day this week.
:yoiks:

"Terra! Terra! Terra! We've gotten a new terror story every day this week."

So, if Sears Tower were destroyed, you'd be saying "They're not doing enough...."
"It was the Mossad"...etc.

Let's wait and see how it shakes out. I'm all in favor of protecting the USA, no matter who is in office.

against the U.S., I'll claim a right to be skeptical.
I'm for protecting the USA too, and I don't believe
in Mossad conspiracies or MIHOP/LIHOP either.
But when the feds cry "Wolf!" for the umpty-umpth time,
I'll keep an open but skeptical mind about it.
This bust was the product of an FBI sting operation.
Let's see the quality of the evidence and just how real
the wolf is this time.

translation: its yet another totally political trumped up case of racial profiling courtesy of BushCo. what a disgrace. should be right comical to hear what gonzales says about it on friday. i bet this is one of those, 'an anonymous informant told us a guy told him he'd heard another guy had heard about a terrorist PLOT...' OR '...postings on an internet bulletin board...'

Is that a rapp group? :-)

Those guys were probably the informants and infiltrators, who encountered these terroristic drugged-up shitheads in prison....that's my theory.

Get wise, people - you can't bust drug dealers, fascists or terrorists without informants, undercover people and infiltrators.

I'm guessing that some of the Muslim brothers were doing that sort of work.

You don't have those people, the terror and white supremacy and dope dealing goes on.

Wait a couple of weeks, when they provide the real info, and as usual, they will reveal most of these allegations may not be true. It has happened before, several times. Always at election time.

"Black Muslim terrorists" captured in Florida. I can't hardly wait for the next scary headline.

....and to top it off, they would be illegal immigrants.

Any day now...

:eyes:









___________________________________________

and their dastardly plan to hop to the top of the Coit Tower to blow it up!

it goes without saying they are illegal immigrants and probably atheists, too. (let the rabid right twist their brains on how a muslim can be an atheist)

this oughta be good.

...Two investors who are part of Larry Silverstein's group that owns the World Trade Center lease are among the buyers of the Sears Tower, which MetLife Inc. agreed to sell Thursday for more than $800 million, according to people familiar with the situation.

Lloyd Goldman and Joseph Cayre, New York investors who are among Mr. Silverstein's backers in the Trade Center, are part of a group that agreed to buy the Chicago landmark, these people said. Another New York investor, Jeffrey Feil, was also a participant in the Sears Tower deal, the people said. Names of the other investors couldn't be learned...

Thanks, m0nkeyneck, and welcome to DU :hi:

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&u=/ap/20060623/ap_on_re_us/terrorism_investigation_5

of Sears Tower and Miami in bottom Right-hand corner...as though something were going to happen imminently. What a bunch of jokers...

best part of Yahoo story, are they saying this on CNN too? Thanks.

Oklahoma City, Columbine....decades of far right terror.

On the Anderson Cooper show. An unnamed source says that "one suspect had taken Al-Qaeda oath." What the hell is an Al-Qaeda oath? I have never heard of it. Have any of you ever heard of this crap?

I am willing to bet that in a few weeks we will find out that there is less to this story than what they are putting out right now.

:sarcasm:

CNN talk heads babbling about the Sears Tower in Chicago, yada yada.

I will say that in a few weeks we will find out that there is far less to this story than what is being portrayed tonight by an hysterical media.

And we will never get information on whether or not they used any of their secretive and unconstitutional procedures. But the RW nutjobs will be claiming that is what "protected us."

And notice of course they are citizens, so the "aliens have no civil rights" card can't be played. They used the aliens to soften things up and now they're coming for the citizens.

Poppy. They room and board every terrorist down there, don't they? At least until they get back on teir own two feet. Send em to Rudi Deckers School of Hijacking

They said they didn't have anything in their warehouse.

just as the high profile terrorist arrest in Pakistan of Abu Zubaydah:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x2351120

They must be guilty of something.

the sears tower? like that was ever going to happen...

But, I feel for the poor bastards arrested. Sounds like a sting that was refused and the FBI is giving itself 'good' PR and that it gives the maladministration more excuses to pry and make up what they want (home-grown 'terraists, recruited in prisons, etc., etc., and, given the times, I think many hopeless souls are going to rise up in one way or another). Asshole on CNN didn't ask any pertinent or insightful questions and says we will have (or be subject to) a press conference from Gonzales tomorrow. God, he is more obvious than a 'get this pill' commercial (some of one's guy's friends had problemes with the hockum).
Communists under your bed! Oops! 'Terraists' under your bed! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR!



:puke: :puke: :puke:

in Iraq right? According to Cheney if we weren't in Iraq these guys probably would have succeeded. :sarcasm:

hmph.

they can make a sane man feel crazy. Or was I crazy already. BRB I have to go ask myself.

So far from the report I read it sounds like a group of religious wierdos who got fingered by the neighbors who didn't like them trying to get their kids interested in karate classes.

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/us/AP-Terrorism-Investigation.html

There are three ways this could go.

One: There is evidence that these guys actually are a group of Al Queda wannabes like that crew in Canada who wanted to behead the Prime Minister. Expect Smirk and Sneer to blast this evidence to the stratosphere. Aside from the obvious distaste for Smirk & Sneer, kudos to the FBI for a job well done.

Two: There is no evidence beyond a couple of tourist brochures of the Sears tower and phone calls to somebody's cousin in Chicago. The group is quietly released a few weeks later with a warning to leave the neighbors' kids alone.

Three: There is no evidence beyond a couple of tourist brochures of the Sears tower and phone calls to somebody's cousin in Chicago. The authorities, embarrassed at hounding out a group of harmless religious nutjobs, cover their asses by saying that to release the evidence they have on these guys would compromise sources & methods. The harmless religious nutjobs are shipped off to Gitmo--out of sight out of mind.

In a normal world I'd probably go with number two but given the attitude of this administration toward human rights, my guess is number three is more likely.

Terra, terra, terra!!

TERRA TERRA TERRA!
