NSA Foiled NYSE Terrorist Plot, We Now Learn
To think it only took the world's most (in)famous whistleblower to get the NSA to disclose that it had heroically managed to prevent terrorist attacks involving the New York Stock Exchange (we supposed they refer to the Manhattan-based TV studio and not the actual exchange where the servers are now housed in Mahwah, NJ) and the NY Subway. Because whereas there was a time in the past when the various US secret services would scurry at the opportunity to disclose their expertise to the general public, now it is a false negative that is supposed to disprove a positive (pervasive spying on the US population is good for you because...). Of course it takes one non-false positive to disprove a false negative, namely the Boston Bombers, who as far as we recall, used cell phones to communicate. But so much for details: now please praise the NSA, and also comply with the Administration's push to rescind the second amendment. Or is Obama no longer pushing for "arms control"?
National Security Agency surveillance programs helped disrupt plots to bomb the New York Stock Exchange and the New York subway system, an FBI official told Congress on Tuesday.
The official, Deputy Director Sean Joyce, said that the programs also linked an American citizen in Chicago to the 2008 terror attacks on hotels in India and to a plot to bomb the offices of a Danish newspaper that published a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad.
Gen. Keith Alexander, the NSA director, told the committee that the programs had helped stop more than 50 “potential terrorist events” since the Sept. 11 attacks. He said he would provide classified details of all of them to the committee Wednesday.
“I would much rather be here today debating this point than trying to explain how we failed to prevent another 9/11,” Alexander said.
Joyce gave limited details on the foiled plots. In the stock exchange plot, he said, the NSA monitored an extremist in Yemen who was in contact with an operative in the United States.
In the subway plot, he said, the NSA intercepted an email from a terrorist in Pakistan in 2009 who was talking with someone in the United States about perfecting a recipe for explosives. He said that person turned out to be Najibullah Zazi, who later pleaded guilty in the plot and is in federal prison.

Does anyone beleive a f*cking word that comes out of these charlatans mouths?
Gen Alexander. Please tell me....where are the arrests of ALL these 'terrorists'? Like the 'operative in the US?
And you really think I'm that stupid as to believe a terrorist attack is going to be planned via e-mail?
Stop insulting me, you pr!ck.
hmm so we intercepted a Pakistani email and foiled the plot, so we need to spy on americans in their own country?
you mean they intercepted a drone on the way to bomb an pakistani orphanage?
damn terrorists were trying to shoot down our drone
Shutting down the New York Stock exchange would not be an act of terror, it would be a public service.
they can run that operation from the basement at Marriner Eccles, no big deal
Thats fucking convienient eh?
Lying fucking wankers, you really think we lot take you NSA lot seriously?
Grow the fuck up beatnicks, we dont.
how can serial liars say - "trust us"
They have a great deal of practice saying shit that's not true.

Re: wednesday release of documentation of the NSA preventing terrorist attacks...watch the dates.....ie. pre Prez Owe where NSA had to go to the FISA court to tap phones and internet of foreign suspects communicating with persons on American soil...and current where a blanket approach has been made and no court order is needed.
That certainly makes the shredding of the US Constitution more palatable.
Now I feel safe and all goose-bumpy for Obomber.
2 different foreign governments warned the obama admin about the boston bombers and they did nothing - in fact holder went out of his way to interfer with the investigation by halting the questioning of the boston bomber and rushing to give him miranda rights - something he believes ordinary, law abiding citzens dont deserve as they are spied on and violated
So when does the epiphany occur?
The Boston Bombers were known by the NSA/FBI/DEA/ATF Orwellian Complex. The Complex didn't want to stop them because their little piss-ant ploy wasn’t going to kill anyone, or if it did, only a very, very few - and it would produce tremendous energy for locking down the entire country with the side bonus of a practice run on instituting a military-style takeover accompanied by warrantless searches.
Of course, they needed the bombers dead - which the guy in lockup might as well be, because you are never going to hear a word out of him again.
They got rid of the older brother with a simple gross assault of him - nobody has found any slugs he fired before getting massacred by the cops following him . . . and the younger brother - well, they just put 20 slugs into the wooden boat and lied that there had been a "shoot out."
Unfortunately, Allah was watching over him, and all they did was injure his throat, which originally was told the American public was his attempt to commit suicide, and not a slug put in his throat by a federal agent to silence him.
Of course, damn it, he was unarmed, but who is going to go after our "heroes" who saved us from WMD pressure cookers lying about a "shoot out" that never occured, and the attempt to murder the other bomber.
As for the friend of theirs who got offed - that was an FBI hit man who put seven slugs into his body.
First the lie was that he had a gun, then he had a knife, then he was an expert boxer. Interestingly, the two state officers that were with the FBI hit man just happened to leave the room together so there were no witnesses to the FBI murder. The thin blue line works together that way . . .
So it's all what the Orwellians wanted - a big media event with lots of high-drama visuals, a chance to play with their armored vehicles, fun raiding everyone's home in total disregard to the Constitution ( a great way to focus group the sheeple's reaction to a military coup), and the thrill of killing other humans - all to show us what it feels like to live in "terror" of the "terrorists."
But for only $100-billion a year to the Military-Industrial-Orwellian Complex we will "be kept safe" - except when they allow another "burning of the Reichstag" to pump up the sheeple again.
-30-
The reality is that those in power don't want a terrorist event to take place on their watch. Can you really blame them? That is why they will use any and all means to prevent such crimes. Do you want to be the president consoling relatives of the dead, while people scream, "WHY DIDN"T YOU DO MORE". No, and neither do they. I know because this was told to me by someone on the hill after 9/11. You can see the logic.
Does that mean we should shred all of our liberties in the process? Personally I don't think so. I think there is a reason why the al-qaeda types don't target countries like Iceland. America could learn a lot if it just knew it's place. It's really that simple.
"They" don't give a flying fuck what the public thinks or wants.
Actually they do, not enough to do anything meaningful, but they do.
Who are you, their fucking dad?
-1 Sure they do.
"You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."

How else are you going to effect transformative change on our racist charter of negative liberties?
So considering the Obama Administration has had about four crisis's in the last four weeks, what are these opportunities you have to speak of that are being exploited? Doing a Fast and Furious 2.0 in Syria? Pulling the plug on QE? Invading Iran that just elected a moderate?
Wait for it. I'm sure they will try to turn all of this into a doubleplusgood for them.
They probably should have thought of that before they started shitting on the rest of the world for the last century...
What part of Reichstag events don't you understand? They pray for any event they can use to steal more.
Surely some arrests were made in a major bust such as that. I've got my pencil ready. Names please?

"Push the Button, Max"
its classified, but your elected representative will be allowed to look at the redacted version.
The one place where if a bomb did go off, the majority of the country would fist pump.
Of COURSE they protect the bankers. But a plot during a marathon by a Chechen pyscho? #nothingtoseehere
so this justifies spying on EVERY american???????????????????
how many terror attacks did they fail to stop
did they tap the phone of the muslim jihadist at ft hood?
Ouch his nose just pushed me off my chair, and I live in the UK!
Kicking the shit out of some hippies in Zuccotti park is not stopping terrorism. Its called being a bully.
NSA tip...next time forget the phone tap and follow the pechuli and pot smoke signals.
Fucking dipshits havent prevented anything...but a good nights sleep for freedom respecting Americans.
Glorious Leader,
We thank you for your continued protection
Words cannot express how greatful we are for your wonderful insights into our own safety.
We know these issues are far too complex for us to grasp or understand.
We ask that you continue to protect us, whatever freedoms it may cost us.
Forgive those that do not grasp the purpose of your efforts.
Praise be to Obama
Forever Forward,
The American People
I don't give a fuck if it is true! None of this is worth sacrificing my freedom! Fucking traitors!
OK, I get it now, we must shred the Constitution to protect the Banksters and HFT.
Over and out...
keep voting...
hahahahahahaha
Is this the same terrorist they arrested before for for trying to blow up the NYSE, and if so, since they were lying then about what led to the arrest, why should anyone believe anyone that they are not lying now?
We all had that friend that had a super hot girlfriend who conveniently lived 2,000 miles away and could never be confirmed.
This is kinda like that.
hey its true, i was banging her
Sounds like things are getting pretty serious http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGkyviEadQU
Which is the least likely to benefit the "Common Good"? :
A) NSA
B) Seatbelts
C) GFI Outlets
D) Chicken Shit
Chicken Shit saved my garden
nobody with a brain believes any of this shit. i am done with them
Hence the problem. The brainless is the audience. ZHers need not apply.
FR nails it...again.

Sure they did.
And yet these hypocritical MFers chose to ignore then reprimand their very own FBI Anti-terrorism agents in Florida and Phoenix! And the Phoenix FBI Special Agent, John O'Neill* (part of the Irish tribe), was recruited (after he chose to retire), and got a job in the WTC, where he died on 911.
F U C K Y O U , N S A ! You bunch of careerist, self-serving hypocrites -- who love to wave the American flag and to wrap your nakedness in it, only to serve your Oligarch masters, and not We The People.

"is Obama no longer pushing for 'arms control'?"
Certainly, controlling increased flow to al Qaida in Syria - you know, those "friendly rebels" that shoot at GIs.
So they stopped GS from placing their routers back to back with the NYSE delaying their data feed? Ssheew! They are really on the ball to prevent security breaches.. / sarc off.
Pahleeze.
Prevented a terrorist attack on the NYSE??? From what I've read here over the last year or two, the NYSE is still being attacked! (My understanding is a bit low in this regard, anyone care to add anything?)
Meanwhile, the Fed's campaign to destroy all free markets on the face of the planet continues uninterrupted.
What a bunch of self serving shit.
They argue by monitoring EVERYTHING, they "saved the world".
The US should show some balls, like scuttling SCUD missiles when they are discovered as smuggled cargo to Yemen, instead of claiming unproven "wins".
They should release all the NSA monitoring and conversations that highlight their FAILURES, then they could argue they need more capabilities.
When you listen to everything, of course you're going to pick up useful info. That's their biz ...
The problem is you pick up everything else.
Ed Snowden chose to blow the whistle and leak in his own fashion.
What's to stop another analyst being bought off, politically motivated, blackmailed, to use info for nefarious purposes.
A SECRET COURT, SECRET IG reports, SECRET PROTOCOLS?
This administration has lied as consistently as possible. Holder lied about James Rosen's involvement to a judge, Rice lied about a video and covered up incompetence or worse, the IRS has lied about its own involvement, etc.
Bernie Madoff was the one who said, don't worry, trust me.
“I would much rather be here today debating this point than trying to explain how we failed to prevent another 9/11.”
The intel infrastructure that already existed on 9/11 had everything it needed to prevent the attacks. The failure was due to high-level incompetence and a failure to pass info between agencies:
PBS Nova: The Spy Factory
http://video.pbs.org/video/1051968443/
General Alexander should be considered as a co-conspirator in the 9/11 attacks until proven otherwise. He has all the earmarks of one that was "in" on the plot and used his position to protect other co-conspirators.
There was no failure to prevent any fucking thing because if 9/11 did not happen would we be where we are today?
They got everything they wanted with 9/11 , 2 10yr plus wars ," they hate us for our freedoms" Full support of the 51st state of Israel, no fucking questions asked. LOTS OF MONEY TO BE MADE!!! We only had to sacrifice 6 or 7 thousand Americans and Maim 30,000+ thousand and kill off a couple hundred thousand Iraq's and Afghanis. FUCKING MONEY TO BE MADE!!!
The whole ZO government is one traitorous foreign run empire.
Fuck the "we the people" I have another yacht and 10000 sq ft house to purchase. Please vote for me again i have so much more to accomplish while I'm in office.
......and the fact that CIA/Mossad/Cheney/DIA/ were the very people who perpetrated the attack. Anyone who believes 19 muscum terrorists were able to do that without "inside" help needs to educate themselves. 911 was an "inside job"!!!
The truth is out there!
STARVE THE BEAST!!!
I heard the plot they stopped was that US Citizens wanted to actually regulate Wall Street.
The mere thought of that strikes terror in the hearts of the banksters.
These guys need To hire MillionDollarBonus. They can't even tell believable lies.
In a word, Bullshit.
I do not care what the end was, this means is not justified.
Hey, there was a termite infestation in your home, not fully proven, but we tapped all of the money in your account and then burned your house down. Termites are gone, but you'll have to live in this totally healthy FEMA trailer for a while.
Before moving in everyone has to take a shower.
Why don't somebody just sue these motherfuckers?
You would have to go through the same court system that is allowing them to do this.
Quick question to you guys: In case of conflicting stories, whose evidence takes precendence: CIA, FBI, NSA, DHS, DoD ... someone else? I mean, what would happen if the NSA was accused of spying on the CIA or something???
Entering Zuccotti park counts as terrorism too.
Hey, easy on the NSA folks. They helped me with my tax return.
I would just like to say that the trillions upon trillions spent on war, spying and other such MIC awesomeness were totally worth it. I feel so much safer today than I did when I wasn't having every digital and telecom communication tapped, surveilled from point A to point B here in NY and asked to "see something/say something" upon anyone who accidentally left a cooler full of iced tea on the sidewalk.
I'm a turris
You're a turris

I've noticed offshore websites have begun putting "No PRISM Inside" logos on their home pages to reassure their user-bases that the data stored on their servers isn't being examined by Team America World Police.
Lick my asspipe Bushbama. Fucking maggots.
Free US supplied full auto and tank buster weapons to Syrian Al Quaeda terrorists/freedom fighters who the US government claims can be trusted with them. Meanwhile back here in the 'land of the free', the US government thinks its own citizens can't be trusted with a fucking 20 round squirrel gun. This is the only thing that the NRA should be talking about now.
"There are 22 people who make all these decisions and they would have to break the law before anything bad happens to 'mericans."
Meanwhile 22 people die in chicago from violence almost every day.
Great to see the USA #1 in something these days, even if it's Incarceration Rate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_incarceration_rate
The Soviets would be proud.
On Zazi, a few things, unseal the plea deal he made with the DoJ. Now.
What exactly was the NYPD's involvement in the investigation with their Joint Terrorism Task Force?
The guy went to Pakistan in 2008, who knew about that? HUMINT? COINTEL?
And WHO actually intercepted the email???? Because Scotland Yard is claiming they intercepted an email. Operation Pathway.
These people were already on the radar. This guy is a liar.
So just what jail are these purported terrorist sitting in? Did they get droned?
Just so you nice folks at NSA know, I am not stupid enough to believe in YouTube videos nor in your claims to have prevented me from chitting myself.
No one was arrested?????????
Yes of course they were arrested. But they don't have to tell anyone that,they don't even have to charge them. All legal in the NDAA. The new KINGS Law , guantanamo is our tower of London.
kinda late with the announcement ...shoulda claimed credit while they still had a modicum of credibility...
Later we will learn they encouraged a mentally unstable person to do it as they supplied the fake bombs and cheerleaders....all so they could make this claim today. I used to sorta trust the government kinda....now not one single word...it is all lies and pathetic excuses.
Batman-The Dark Knight Rises, everything we watched in that movie is what the NSA has foiled...Wow, great job coming up with pretend terror attacks NSA!
Lies and deceit is their (NSA/CIA/FBI) profession, it's what the do best. Hence we must trust and believe them sothat they can protect us from evil doers. (cough, cough!)
"Lies and deceit is their (NSA/CIA/FBI) profession" They were taught by the Israelis.
Does anyone still believe anything said by these psycos??.
I certainly don't.
I myself have foiled many terrorist plots. Prove me wrong.
Every time you buy gold or silver you are foiling a terrorist plot to bankrupt you.
......by NOT exterminating 535 members of Congress.......oh,...wait a minute....
NSA takes 70% of the covert ops appropriations, leaving the scraps for the CIA and FBI. Boy do they suck.
How America works:
House Select Committee On Intelligence PropagandaIn the United States Congress the House Select Committee On Intelligence is "the primary committee in the U.S. House of Representatives charged with the oversight of the United States Intelligence Community". The committee is the elected legislative part of the government which set and controls the limits of the executive.
It is currently holding a open hearing about the recent disclosures of various activities and programs of the National Security Agency.
Congress hearings have titles. What is the title of the currently ongoing hearing?
a. To Evaluate Recently Disclosed NSA Activities, and The Necessity Of Intelligence Gathering Reform
b. Structure And Legal Limits Of Domestic Signal Intelligence Activities
c. How Disclosed NSA Programs Protect Americans, and Why Disclosure Aids Our Adversaries
d. Role And Limits Of The NSA Within The Intelligence Community
e. Why Data Protection Is Hindering Intelligence Collection, and How More Data Collection Will Expand Our Freedoms
The correct answer is c. How Disclosed NSA Programs Protect Americans, and Why Disclosure Aids Our Adversaries
Issuing such propaganda even in the title of the hearing is certainly not "oversight". It is pandering to the executive agency in question. It is therefore no wonder that the Senate Intelligence Committee even prohibits a former staffer to explain the oversight process to the media. The way we do, or don't do, our job is secret. Trust us and give us your money (and data). One wonders what those agencies the committees are supposed to control and investigate have in their vaults about each of those committee members and their families.
Aside from that the purpose of this post is to point you to a piece which looks a bit deeper into the whole intelligence nonsense. Why do we have these agencies and why have they grown into such enormous beasts?

I assume NSA director is pointing to the "terrorist" operation called Occupy Wall Street? No? Lol, what a f***er with funny jokes. The only people interesting in performing large scale attacks are the government officals. Period.
If they wanted to foil an NYSE terrorist plot they could just read zh and then stop HFT.
That wouldn't cost enough. Their budget is much too big for that sort of thing.
Just not buying it at all it is amazing how focused they are on the TEA party but not actual terrorist these guys are evil jokes !
I don't believe anything they say. If they one thing, I assume they are lieing; if they say another, I assume they are lieing. In a world where holding a protest is called terr'ism, I'm sure they caught a lot at Occupy.
So by their math, apparently 50 bad guys justify spying on 300,000,000+ guys in America and 7 billion people world-wide. Go get em'!
When I read the heading that a New York terrorist threat was averted, for a minute I thought that the NSA had blown up the FED and its printing machines.
here's whats wrong. we have red light cameras, mostly just really busy intersections. now the public is giving the citie(s) some pushback, people who get these tickets have to pay up to $500.
at the same time the police have a license plate camera system, which scans license plate numbers at parking lots and anywhere actually, and they put the location and the license plate number into their database. random data gathering.
while the red light cameras save lives, the cities are cancelling that program, while they continue to use the system which records license plate numbers and stores them in a database collection system. the second program does nothing to protect motorists, which the red light camera program does, and it has nothing to do with enforcing the law.
That's a big reason law enforcement costs have skyrocketed and cities are going bankrupt. They hoped all that BS was going to yield more $$$, but the total costs of their extortion racket exceeds the fines in many cases. Real crime like rapes and muggings continue to increase.
California has increased the fines astronomically. Don't try to park in one of those many empty handicap stalls unless you're prepared to pay REALLY BIG.
and the license plate collection database is outside the public view ( license plate cameras are used to recover stolen cars - for the insurance companies) yes the fines for running a red light are high, the cost of being torpedoed at an intersection a lot higher. the long term plan is to take all the substandard drivers off the road, seniors and teenagers who like to text, and anyone with a ba of .05, while at the same time they want to leave the bars open until 4AM. which just makes my point, the law enforcement answer to crime is prior restraint, with less enforcement of the criminal action. ask a cop how you stop rapes and muggings, he'll tell you find these guys, and put gps bracelets on them. the cop on the beat is an anachronism. cops don't stop crime, prior restraint laws and data surveillance do.
Again it shows the absolute perversion of paying tax.
You are forced to keep these lying bastards alive and to feed them, so they can make your life hell.
And what do you get for it?
The right to vote.
Laughing my ass off!
How can they claim they prevented terrorist activity on Wall Street when Goldman Sachs is still in business?
hehehe, luv it
Tyler, please show how the second amendment has preserved ANY rights? Which rights do we currently hold that were "saved" by the second amendment?
Because I only see failed attempts to use force in resisting government tyranny such as the American Indian Movement, Waco or the Black Panthers.
It worked in Montana at the "Freemen" standoff in '98 - they were trying to expose the FED. Militias from 13 states made an offer the "authorities" couldn't refuse - WAR. Somehow the M-word boogeyman disappeared from the lexicon and the fed militia plants (Olson, Trochmann, Southwell, Jimmy Johnson, etc) "retired."
edit ... nobody died like at Waco/Ruby Ridge ('cept a FBI officer who rolled his truck and wasn't wearing his seat belt (v. Monatana State law)).
It has proven effective to preserve the right to life. You need to read more than just the NYT.
I definitely do not accept his (or their) word, regardless of whether sworn in for testimony.
Its unfortunate that a good article like this brings out the wackjobs and conspiracy theorists.
The fact is that the state has a legitimate right to protect its citizens. The problem is that that the state has overstepped an important boundary. There are no legitimate checks and balances to unfettered access to anyone's information, and that is very, very dangerous. This needs to be reigned in, otherwise this has the very seeds of America's destruction at some point down the road. Most sensible people would not object to metadata being captured, used to identify legitimate threats (which would involved oversight and strong warrant tests), then investigated... with the remaining data being completely purged blank within a given time frame.
Its easy to sit behind a keyboard and talk brave - hoping for the end (what ever that means), or some sort of revolution. This is utter nonsense and senseless thinking. The best thing anyone can do is contact their politicians and put pressure on them. For every phone call that goes in, it represents the public opinion of so many constituents (yes, they track this), and they especially take note when you are a first time caller.
The resilience of US democracy will be shown in what comes out of this... and I think these checks and balances will emerge. Democracy is in the lifeblood of every American.
"The best thing anyone can do is contact their politicians and put pressure on them."
Oh, fuck off. I wouldn't touch these subhuman vermin with a 10-foot pole, let alone call them. What don't you get? WE FUCKING HATE THEM. They're the enemy. They don't represent us. GAME OVER.
If I want to read a whack-job, all I have to do is re-read your post.
So did you come up with this out of some 6th-grade civics book? Or is this the quality of propaganda now produced by the dumbed-down education currently employed in the Orwellian Complex?
First, you are totally off about how the system works. Politicians pay lip service to constituents. So long as they don't build a "coalition of opposition" by taking stands on hot topics, they will stay in office forever. The current re-election rate for Congress is about 97%.
What will come out of this is nothing. The Military-Industrial-Orwellian Complex holds all the data - which means they have all the dirt on Congress, the judges, the officer corps, the academics, the union bosses, the journalists . . . anyone and everyone with any access to political power.
And if you think they are afraid to use it - notice how Petreaus is now back to being a good little hack for the Complex - showing up at Bilderberg to talk about his plans for a One-World data gathering operation. (Yeah, tell me again how the collection of metadata can't hurt you? That's how they shut down his affair.).
You are either the most naive, simple minded person in the world today, or a troll for the Complex.
Either way, you are a useless twit who would rather whore his soul than defend true freedom.

I'm glad you recognise the conspiracy. Now addressing it is the task at hand.
Watch.

The greatest deception of the Devil was to fool everyone that he didn't exist.
To web bot re metadata: Like I wrote somewhere before:
"We only want your metadata."
"Yes, you do. And I always pull out before I blow."
The US Constitution also foiled many hundreds of thousands of plots by removing motive.
they will claim they had good info on boston but couldnt act on it because of legal restrictions. most likely could have stopped it ...if they had more power.
At this point these guys just need to STFU. It's gotten beyond embarrassing.
Start with small things. Prevent double parking in NYC and I will start believing the rest of crap.
Of course they're going to tell us about a few legitimate plots they might have foiled or solved by using their eavesdropping techniques. But they're not going to tell us about the other billions of calls, texts, web site activities, and financial transactions they've collected from innocent Americans. We're supposed to feel lucky big brother is watching.
A cost/benefit analysis would be fun to see.
So let's get this straight:
If the NSA did not exist, there would have been 50 terrorist attacks against the United States since Sept. 11th, 2001?
Is this what they would have us believe?
Oh but you see, the details are all classified---just read the dumbed-down headlines and "move along"....
NSA foils CIA directed terror plot against NYSE. Apparently NSA hasn't gotten with the program.
They foil each other's plans. FBI got the head of the CIA didn't they? Petraeus musta thought he was safe being in charge of the CIA!
We live in their world
We get money they allow us to have
We buy things they want us to buy
We vote for people they want us to vote for
We spend our lives working to keep them in power
They deceive us so that we always choose against our interests and to give them more power over us
We are here for them
They are not here for us
The USA couldn't give a shit less about me or anyone else here. Self-serving maggots. Great example: there's a "retirement" crisis yet we can only add $5k to an IRA per year. Fuck them. I wouldn't let them eat the corn outta my shit. They can fucking starve.
The NSA even found a terrorist bomb with a red LED countdown timer. When they found the bomb, it was down to 00:00:03 before detonation.
Whew!
Since the Second Amendment was brought up, it's time for a refresher:
A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Founding Fathers did not want the hoi polloi to have arms with no restrictions whatsoever. If you don't like it, amend the amendment.
I disagree. I (and many others) have always read it to mean, "Because a well-regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free State, the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." In other words, because militias are by definition bodies of ordinary citizens called into service when needed, the right of these citizens to bear arms in their daily lives (arms that they'll need when they're called to serve) shall not be infringed.
Aluminum foil? Honey put the kids in the "safe room". Inflation has hit our culdesac.
So then Obama and his minions should be praising the intelligence of Bush and Cheney and state them as hero's because it was their brainchild that put all of this in place. At which time Obama and his minions were vehemenently against said apperatus. Bush/Cheney, admit it Obama, was just miles ahead of you and your camp on protecting America. Right. C'mon you have to say it if you believe what your doing is right. If your willing to blame someone for all the blunders then you must praise them for being right all along while you were so very wrong on so many things.
In case you don't realize it I'm not serious about this but if he's sticking to his story then this has to be part of it.
They foiled a plot by a leprechaun to blowup a unicorn but in the process they committed treasonous acts against the American people.
The guillotine knows.
The Four Rs
Rejection
Revolution
Retribution
Restoration
Word to ya mutha.
The militia business just confuses the issue. See, but even they had to munge the language to make it *just* ambiguous to get it in. You can probably think of dozen ways to phrase it better that would leave no doubt:
"Any singular weapon individually carryable and made available to this nation's millitary, and all such things needed to make such weapon fully functional, shall be available to all free citizens in good standing through commerce, and, under penalty of treason, no government shall make a law, impose a commercial penalty, tax, or otherwise take any other action in contrary to this amendment."
Of course, in this case, everyone will soon be guilty of a felony and ineligible, which is why the other ones need bolstering.
Paid liars wearing the uniform and pissing on the Constitution?
When things get so bad that soldiers lose confidence in their commanders... the fragging will begin.
I called limited hang out the day of the story.
