Man Arrested In New York Terror Plot

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Just hitting the headlines, probably related to Mike Bloomberg's 7:30 pm announcement:

  • NY AUTHORITIES ARREST MAN IN BOMBING PLOT, N.Y. TIMES REPORTS
  • MAN WANTED TO DETONATE BOMB IN BUILDING WITH GOVT WORKERS: NYT
  • NY TIMES SAYS MAN WAS ARRESTED WITHIN THE LAST 24
  • MAN HAD BEEN UNDER SURVEILLANCE FOR A YEAR, N.Y. TIMES REPORTS
  • NY AUTHORITIES TO ANNOUNCE CHARGES AGAINST MAN TONIGHT

More from the NYT:

The authorities have arrested a man who law enforcement officials believe was planning to build and detonate a bomb in New York with government workers, returning military personnel and elected officials as the target, two people briefed on the case said on Sunday. Cyrus R. Vance Jr.,  the Manhattan district attorney, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly of the New York Police Department announced the charges against the man at a Sunday evening news conference at City Hall.

 

The man was arrested within the last 24 hours.

 

The defendant in the case, identified as Jose Pimentel, 27, had bought bomb-making materials and “began to build them,” said one person briefed on the case, who added that the Police Department had had the man under surveillance for about a year. “The Police Department basically had an informant with this guy,” said a second law enforcement official familiar with the investigation. “The guy is sort of giving to the informant all of these material on bomb building and talking about building a bomb and supporting the mujahedeen by targeting — he’s kind of all over the place; sometimes it’s targeting servicemen and women returning from Afghanistan, sometimes it’s the police, sometimes its build it and test it, but it’s all over the place.”

Your ability to continue advocating failed policy is what is mind boggling. Spend more, create more debt, and now with the Obama administration policy we are another $4 trillion deeper in debt and approaching 100% debt to gdp. No one wants to collapse the system besides you it seems.

Rumor has it that a known acquaintance of The Bernank (goes by the alias of Joe Fixer) is both bailing this guy out and paying for his criminal defense attorney (the attorney has a 0 - 76 track record, named Ben D. Overhard).

That's just a rumor though.

Be sure to follow this case, and not look at the EU, John Corzine, how much fiat the FDIC currently has, Italian/Spanish/Greek/Portugese/French/Irish sovereign bond spreads or EU bank capital reserves, the 'fixed' CONgressional Superpanel Deficit Non-Reduction Panel, or a myriad of other liquidity/economic/banking crises now at full speed ahead).

You would be truly shocked if you knew the number of people they have "under surveillance."  Truly shocked.

 

For starters, try every person in the United States who has OR HAS EVER HAD a security clearance.  That's right, all are "under surveillance" via automatic interception of their telecommunications which are parsed and datamined for actionable information and building "profiles."  How far the program extends beyond that, I cannot say.  They certainly aren't interested in using these systems against convicted child rapists or murderers.  No, those people are no threat to "national security", which has vastly higher priority for the powers that be than your personal safety (you don't think the police state is here to protect you, do you?).

 

It is only logical to assume that they are also using their police state apparatus to surveil political dissidents, anyone connected to Wikileaks (including journalists), the "alternative media" (the people that run zero hedge, Alex Jones), and various politicians (Ron Paul, anyone else not "with the program").

 

The U.S. is a high tech surveillance based police state.  Most of you don't realize just how deep the rabbit hole goes because you've never worked in law enforcement or another part of the security/intel establishment.

 

You would be shocked.  East Germany and Stalin ain't got shit on us.

New York City officials have arrested a terror suspect that they have been watching since 2009, NBC New York has learned.

Mayor Bloomberg, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly and Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr. were expected to announce the arrest Sunday evening at City Hall. Police took the man into custody Saturday after he was preparing explosive material, a source said. It was not clear whether he had a target. Sources say the suspect is a loner who lives with his mother.

City of NYPD update:  We're sorry, we got it wrong.  He was preparing to light a match and an over anxious officer blew 2 years of investigative work into the guy's mother who was actually under observation, suspected of running an operation out of her kitchen.  The brownies  were distributed for mass consumption all over the neighborhood. No reports of casualties.  The city of NYPD denies they provided the match.

Over 2 years looking for his pipe.

In Europe people don't buy this 'terrorism threat' stuff hardly at all.

Here, they actually have to blow things up before people take it seriously, and even then, people still blame the Americans, given our experience with things like Operation Gladio (Nato and CIA agents murdering Italians, claiming it was Communists), and so on.

In the 1969 Costa-Gavras movie 'Z', one of the great political films of all time, set in Greece and about the assassination of a progressive politician by corrupt police and military, there is a classic line, on the order of:

« You can always blame the Americans. Even if you're wrong, you're still right. »

Fabulous, important film with a great musical soundtrack ... some scenes and music from Costa-Gavras' Z to give an idea of how great a film it is:

All the while the biggest social class genocide is taking place-- way to really protect us from the 'bad guys'. Let me guess, regardless of his political beliefs they're going to say his profile is one that disagreed with what the fed was doing, had stockpiled precious metals, felt crony capitalism ran rampant in our current system, and of course the SEC helped in spotting the potential terrorist because of his short biased trades aka trying to fight the fed with his trading account. Oh don't forget may have thought he was Jesus too.

This is a terrorist--> http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/11/20/us-mfglobal-customers-funds-idUSTRE7AJ0PW20111120

Corzine's MF Global -->

The tale of the customer's funds goes like this. On October 31, exchange operator CME Group estimated in a court filing that there was a "requirement" of some $5.5 billion in segregated customer funds -- including, presumably, the missing funds that could not be immediately located.

 

Over the following weeks, while authorities poured over sloppy and haphazard records, the trustee identified two pools of money that could be partly returned to customers.

The first was $2.5 billion in collateral that was being used as margin to cover existing trades. Those trading positions were transferred to new brokers along with 60 percent of the value of the collateral, or about $1.55 billion.

The second was $869 million that was left in MF Global accounts that contained nothing but cash -- either because customers had liquidated all their trades before October 31, or because they simply had no positions open as it failed. The bankruptcy court ruled last week that those account holders would also get back 60 percent, or about $520 million.

Those two pools of funds only account for about $3.4 billion of the original total $5.5 billion. The customers whose accounts hold that remaining $2-plus billion have never been explicitly identified, or told when they will get their funds.

The Bottom Line--->The result? More than $3.3 billion or 60 percent of total customer funds at the time of the bankruptcy are still frozen.

Tell Bloomberg, Kelly, & Vance that THIS IS THE FACE OF TRUE TERRORISM!

When the upper 0.01 % bang their heads with the next lower 0.09 %, together forming the upper 0.1 %.

You would be truly shocked if you knew the number of people they have "under surveillance."  Truly shocked.

 

For starters, try every person in the United States who has OR HAS EVER HAD a security clearance.  That's right, all are "under surveillance" via automatic interception of their telecommunications which are parsed and datamined for actionable information and building "profiles."  How far the program extends beyond that, I cannot say.  They certainly aren't interested in using these systems against convicted child rapists or murderers.  No, those people are no threat to "national security", which has vastly higher priority for the powers that be than your personal safety (you don't think the police state is here to protect you, do you?).

 

It is only logical to assume that they are also using their police state apparatus to surveil political dissidents, anyone connected to Wikileaks (including journalists), the "alternative media" (the people that run zero hedge, Alex Jones), and various politicians (Ron Paul, anyone else not "with the program").

 

The U.S. is a high tech surveillance based police state.  Most of you don't realize just how deep the rabbit hole goes because you've never worked in law enforcement or another part of the security/intel establishment.

 

You would be shocked.  East Germany and Stalin ain't got shit on us.
