Man Arrested In New York Terror Plot
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.”

and you're making too much of convincing us all about it
poor baby wants attention.........
He said nothing about silverbugs so I gave him a green arrow.
your "link" between this thread and "goldbugs" is about as strong as this "terrorism suspects" links to Al Qaeda.
what they both have in common is that they are both A FIGMENT OF YOUR FUCKING IMAGINATION.
Another John Corzine lackey who needs to be placed under a gag order. /Humor
Anyone who speaks out gets a fredo fishing trip.. Do you fucking understand? Did you see what just happened? Don't let that be you..
LMFAO at collective power desperation.
Anal sex is the No. 1 reason for America's downfall.
Exactly correct. Without such acts all our current government terrorists would not have been conceived!
Who the fuck gets investigated for a fucking year. You build the bomb you explode the bomb. This is complete bullshit.
ok , ok, so the patsi was dragging his feet. whatsa government agency supposed to do?
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.
"This guy just didn't get it" says FBI spokesperson "we gave him a friend and have been trying to get the idea in his head for over a year. We offered means, motive, opportunity and supplies. The idiot still didn't get it. We were this close to trying hypnosis, when the dense dolt finally got what we wanted him to do. Took a week once he had a clue on what his idea was. We then swept in and made the arrest, making the world safe for democracy once again. Over all, some changes need to be made in the process. We need to start testing potential terrorists. Maybe prescreen with a wonderlic or something."
and we provided that guy with all that damn crack too. what a waste of the taxpayer's money...
Inside job.

Geez, can our alphabet soup government "entrapment" specialists please come up with some new phony schemes to justify their own pitiful, treasonous and disgusting existence???????!!!!!!!
NWO DOA
Is some guy with a pipe bomb, really worth the attention of 1 billion+ people?
Oh.. wait no he didn't even have a pipe bomb, he just thought about having a pipe bomb. Good work, NYC, definitely worth 1000 police to catch one guy who may or may not have actually hurt someone?
Part of the reason the world is in a shit whole is because of poor resource allocation... case in point...
$40,000,000,000 annual budget to keep tabs on supposed terrorists while the sieve at our border with Mexico is as wide as Hillary's big fat ass!

On October 18, 2011, CounterPunch had this exclusive: Meet the “Lower Manhattan Security Initiative”:Wall Street Firms Spy on Protesters In Tax-Funded Center by PAM MARTENS that mentions "Mike" Bloomberg. It begins…
“Wall Street’s audacity to corrupt knows no bounds and the cooptation of government by the 1 per cent knows no limits. How else to explain $150 million of taxpayer money going to equip a government facility in lower Manhattan where Wall Street firms, serially charged with corruption, get to sit alongside the New York Police Department and spy on law abiding citizens.
“According to newly unearthed documents, the planning for this high tech facility on lower Broadway dates back six years. In correspondence from 2005 that rests quietly in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s archives, NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly promised Edward Forst, a Goldman Sachs’ Executive Vice President at the time, that the NYPD ‘is committed to the development and implementation of a comprehensive security plan for Lower Manhattan…One component of the plan will be a centralized coordination center that will provide space for full-time, on site representation from Goldman Sachs and other stakeholders’.” ….

This just in
for those of who who guessed that he was
Al Qaeda sympathizer
you win!
Honestly, I'm surprised. I thought they would try and link him to anarchism or hanging out at an OWS camp.
Excuse me, but I am confused. Did he sympathize with the good Al Qaeda that overthrew Kadafi with the assistance of the CIA and MI6 or did he sympathize with the bad Al Qaeda that blew up three towers in NYC a little over 10 years ago utilizing their hi tech command center located in a cave in Western Pakistan? Please advise. Thank you.

You have to play along with the game of media propaganda. Humiliation is generally stimulated by a tingle.
Hitler finds out Americans are calling each other Nazis
That Hitler video is hysterical. Bravo!
I hate to play devils advocate but...
What kind of idiot takes a YEAR to build something they could steal from a constuction site?
Its an Obama shovel ready job. smirks
And who the fuck blows people up except for pussy military. REALLY angry citizens go in with guns and baseball bats. They want the bone crunch the want the screaming they want to see their face.
Osama Hussein, an "Al Qaeda sympathizer" from the Islamic Dominican Republic. "Holes were drilled into pipes; sulfur was scraped off of matches; nails were ready to be used as shrapnel; and some sort of wires were used to fashion an ignition device, an official said."
Guess it took him a year to built all these matchstick models to conspiratively prepare malicious terror attacks.

That was terrifying. Thank God zog is protecting us from evil doers. I feel much better now. Please pass the dinner rolls.
How come these dinner rolls look more like donuts?
TPTB are now ever so much closer to empowering themselves to hand out a supreme federal beatdown of those Occupy "terrorists".

Egypt protests: Death toll up in Cairo's Tahrir Square"Thousands of Egyptian protesters remain in Cairo's Tahrir Square after two days of clashes in which at least 13 people were killed and hundreds injured.
A total of 11 people were reportedly killed on Sunday and two on Saturday, according to medical sources. Health officials say as many as 900 have been injured, including at least 40 security personnel.
The demonstrators, some wearing gas masks, say they fear Egypt's interim military rulers are trying to retain their grip on power."

Surely FBI/CIA rogue sting ops can do better than this bullshit concoction. Come on boys be more creative, more like the 9/11 story...eh!
What happened to the story about a AK-47 bullet hitting the WH?
AK 47 Shooting Range in Iraq
Huh..
Effective range 400 metres (440 yd)
Semi-automatic 300 metres (330 yd) full automatic
Where were all the armed guards at the White House Iron gate? Who heard the gun shots at the street where the AK-47 was allegedly found? Hmmmmmmmmmm.
what about the snipers on the wh roof? what were they doing ? playing pocket pool? ak makes a loud racket ........this story smells..............do we have proof this actually happened.........?
Timed distraction, next they'll say he was involved with OWS.
THANK GOODNESS HOMELESS LAND SECURITY IS WORKING GAY AND KNIGHT TO PROTECT US FROM UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMcISIONS.
Explain how this is terrorism again?
the toilet doesn't exist. zionism is the problem says ex CIA man.

Washington’s Enemy ”Doesn’t Exist" is the answer to a lot of human misery; it dispels much of the humbug and terrorism coming out of DC The following passage I thought particularly enlightening because it is from someone with hands on experience. But will an Israeli-controlled Congress that gives Netanyahu 56 applauses and standing ovations in one speech for "fear of the Jews," and a puppet-on-a-string President ("I have to deal with him [Netanyahu] every day") ever listen?
Yet another FBI sting in which some divvie is encouraged and agitated to hatch a hare-brained plot, then swept up in a blaze of breathless NYT headlines and Fox News SHOCK HORROR! screeching.
Honestly - there HAS to come a time when Yanks stop falling for this shit, otherwise you might just as well all sit down in front of cartoons and wait for someone to switch off the lights.
PS... BOT DJ30 again (at 11687)... this takedown in the overnight is whatever is the opposite of a 'head fake'. (I dunno - ass-fake maybe?). Only looking for 50 or 60 points. Will also buy DAX at the German open after the predictable swoon, looking for a 50-point bounce. I was late to the party this morning - The Lovely and I went out for breakfast so I missed the swoon at the open of the Sunday night session.
Don't let the news tickers fool you - the multiple layers of bullshit-artists in the EU, ECB and Kraut and Frog parliaments will make some bullshit announcement in the next 24 hours, in order to goose everything during the thin pre--USholiday trade. Sure as eggs is eggs.
“Totally innocent people are held indefinitely and tortured by the US government for no other reason than to convince the gullible public that they are endangered by terrorists, but those who wiped out the home ownership and retirement pensions of millions of Americans now hold high and honorable positions on corporate boards and US regulatory agencies.” –Paul Craig Roberts
"MAN HAD BEEN UNDER SURVEILLANCE FOR A YEAR, N.Y. TIMES REPORTS"
Why not go talk to him on day one and tell him: hey dude calm down a bit, we have you under watch.
Et voilà! problem solved.
But, Maxter, surely you don't want to interrupt this well-produced splendid sham!
Hey, where'd that Doctor guy go? I wanted him to keep trying to convince me that printing at warp speed was going to solve all our problems. Come back, mister Doctor, guy...You almost had me convinced.
Help Wanted. Patsies for fake terrorist attacks. Willing to do time in exchange for Swiss bank account. Apply CIA/FBI/Mossad/NYPD.
And this is news why? Odds are he was arrested because it made a good headline at a good time rather than any actual threat he presented. That's the way the system works. When they find some marginal, potentially violent dickhead they keep him in inventory as it were until they need a headline. If you actually believe that he was a credible threat then you don't appreciate the propaganda system. Not one, as in ZERO, zip, zilch, nada, authority figures have been threatened, attacked, seriously injured let alone killed by any of the "radicals." The converse statement is not true as they have seriously injured protesters at regular interval and continue to do so citing "standard procedure" as their defense. This is all P.R. hype bullshit. Police state stuff. Real far from a "democracy." The authorities are worried because they know they are going to have to bail out the banks again within the next 180 days and they don't want these protests front and center when they have to give the bankers more trillions so they are using violence. What does that tell you?
Man I am just beside myself reading this comment thread. What Krugman and other Keynesians don't seem to understand is that governments can not create real growth because government spending can only come from two places, taxation which removes the money from the economy and monetization which devalues the currency and leads to inflation. Both options remove wealth, they do not create it. It is a very simple concept, however admiting the truth of this renders central planned government worthless and puts a whole lot of career politicians and gov sponsored economists out of a job. Since they actually have no value to a production orientated economy, what are we going to do with them? Krugman makes the point that the inflationary prices are transitory due to what he believes to be a fact that the money supply will eventually expand to equalize the percentage of income it takes to absorb the higher cost. IE I used to make $100 and spent $10 on gas, gas increased to $20 and eventually due to monetary expansion my pay increases to $200 and my energy expenditure equalized back to the original average of 10% of net income. This is all bullshit classroom economic theory. Wages never equalize to the point of inflation, only adding more work or additional household wage earners to the equation does life revert to affordability. Free time must be sacrificed in order to make up for the transitory prices. I could go on and on citing real world examples to decimate every single Keynesian academic theory but I simply don't have time right now an I'm typing this on a smartphone.

I wonder if any of the co-conspirators were paid by the same type of FBI agents that seem to be offering cash payments to the unemployed and criminally convicted in order to convince them to commit 'terrorist acts' that they can later arrest them for. I guess this is the only way to keep the convictions coming and Federal money flowing. Let's not forget to mention the FBI's job as content creators for FOX/MSNBC/CNN Entertainment. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/nov/16/fbi-entrapment-fake-terror-plots@Market Watch Terrorist
I'm sure that Big Brother is watching all dissidents very closely, but everybody in America is getting clued in now, so soon, they will have to start surveilling just about everyone.
Alex Jones used to be considered on the fringe by your average person, his views were considered looney, but not anymore. What was considered a conspiracy theory, is now, widely viewed, as fact. Almost everyone thinks like a conspiracy theorist today. It's reaching a tipping point like I have never seen before.
And the more that the powers that be lie and ignore the intelligence of the majority of the opinion leaders among the sheeple, the more people will be waking up and realising that there is no difference between the parties.
And the insults keep coming; the UC Davis video, Bloomberg's press black out. People are shocked and appalled at the police actions, regardless of what they think of OWS.
History, both ancient and recent, shows that a powerful central government can easily dominate a vastly larger number of people, regardless of their level of faith in or support for that government. America has a massive (well paid, and loyal) bureaucracy and more than enough "shooters" (well paid and loyal police at state, local, and federal levels) to clamp down on the peasantry and maintain a police state for the foreseeable future.
...
If necessary. But it won't be. I have no faith in the American people or their desire for liberty. I'm sticking around just long enough to see the outcome of the 2012 presidential election (with my prediction being an Obama sweep due to a third party bid by Ron Paul), after which I am out of here.
MAN ARRESTED IN NY TERROR PLOT!
And in other Breaking News outta Gotham City: Mayor GoonBerg apologises to Caped Crusaders after Batman & Robin - disguised as OWS protestors - mistakenly pepper-sprayed while attempting to apprehend The Joker (wearing a Blankfien mask) ouside of GoldMan Sachs HQ in Downtown Manhattan!
