Terror Attacks Against U.S. At All-Time High

clipped from abcnews.go.com
number of attempted terror attacks against US higher than any other year


The pace and number of attempted terror attacks against the U.S. over the past nine months has surpassed the number of attempts during any previous one-year period, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security report issued on Friday, May 21.


The report notes chillingly that while US officials "lack insights" they believe that "operatives are in the country and could advance plotting with little or no warning."

The report notes that al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and the Pakistani Taliban have "expanded their focus" to include the United States

More worrisome even that these attacks -- both of which involve suspects who allegedly spent time at terror camps abroad -- is the possibility, states the DHS document, of "an attack strategy that does not rely on outside support or travel abroad," which "diminishes opportunities for discovery and disruption."

Obama, Does Islam Still Have a Place in America?

After forbidding terrorist labels (unless describing tea partiers and Christians), Obama’s administration admits the Taliban was involved with the Times Square bomber’s assault, and perhaps Miranda rights should have been withheld.

The problem is Obama denounced the phrases “War on Terror” and “Radical Islam,” favoring leftist rhetoric that endangers America.

Anti-West leftists who worship Che Guevara and extol Bill Ayers never want to insult those trying to blow up the world.  It would be intolerant.

Political correctness has allowed Islamic terror: the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, 9/11, LAX, the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels, murdering American military abroad at Khobar Towers, Kenya, Tanzania, Philippines, Mogadishu, Beirut, U.S.S. Cole, the Shoe Bomber, Arafat’s plane hijackings, Saddam ignoring 17 UN Resolutions, and Nidal Malik Hasan, the Muslim jihadist serving in the U.S. military who murdered 13 Fort Hood soldiers.

Over 1,000 Anti-Christian Attacks In Indian State, report

clipped from www.worthynews.com

largest evangelical umbrella groups says his organization recorded over 1,000 anti-Christian attacks in 500 days in the southern Indian state of Karnataka and that the number is growing "by the day".

"It is regrettable to report on physical attacks on Christian workers and believers, vandalism of church property, desecration of statues of Jesus, and arrests of priests on frivolous complains of conversions in Karnataka," said  Richard Howell,  the general-secretary of the Evangelical Fellowship of India (EFI).
Most recently, he said, on March 17 some 150 people allegedly led by right-wing Hindu extremist groups stormed the funeral of a 50-year-old Christian man at St. Thomas Church

"The mob pulled the coffin apart and desecrated the cross the relatives of the deceased were carrying. They threw the body in a tractor and dumped it outside, saying his burial would have contaminated the Indian soil and his body should be buried in Rome or America."

Some Muslims, fearing backlash, worry about intent of Census forms


The millions of blue forms being mailed this month in the first census count since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, do not ask about religion. But the idea of answering any questions posed by the government makes some Muslims uneasy, so community leaders are worried that many may avoid the Census altogether.


"A lot of people, they have the concern," said Raja Mahmood, 50, a Manassas taxi driver who moved to the United States from Pakistan 25 years ago. "The majority of Muslims, they don't want to draw attention."


Some Muslims have been put on "no-fly" lists simply because they share a name with a suspected terrorist.

Still, he said, "particularly in the new-immigrant population, there's definitely going to be an undercount
"I don't know what the Census would have to do with Muslims or non-Muslims," said Hany Osman, 35, of Falls Church, an Egyptian clinical system analyst who moved to the United States seven years ago.

web UN agency calls for global cyberwarfare treaty, drivers license for Web usersThe world needs a treaty to prevent cyber attacks becoming an all-out war, the head of the main UN communications and technology agency warned Saturday.

International Telcommunications Union secretary general Hamadoun Toure gave his warning at a World Economic Forum debate where experts said nations must now consider when a cyber attack becomes a declaration of war.

"A cyber war would be worse than a tsunami -- a catastrophe," the UN official said, highlighting examples such as attacks on Estonia last year.

US Intelligence Officials Warn of Persistent Threat from al-Qaida

Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair speaks with a group of reporters during a media roundtable, 26 Mar 2009, in McLean, Va.
America’s top intelligence officials have delivered a sobering assessment to Congress, saying that the al-Qaida terrorist network remains a persistent threat to the United States because its followers have been able to adapt their methods to make detection difficult.

“We have been warning in the past several years that al-Qaida itself, and its affiliates and al-Qaida-inspired terrorists remain committed to striking the United States.  And in the past year, we have some names that go behind these warnings,” he said.

Blair warned that the threat of violent extremism is constantly evolving.

“We have made complex, multi-team attacks very difficult for al-Qaida to pull off,” he said.  “But as we saw with the recent rash of attacks last year, both successful and unsuccessful, identifying individual terrorists, small groups with short histories, using simple attack methods, is a much more difficult task,” said Blair.

Enemies Of Free Speech Call For Internet Licensing 010210top3

Calls to introduce a licensing system to police the Internet on behalf of a powerful UN agency represent the latest salvo in a long-running battle to kill free speech on the web and bring an end to the powerful digital democracy that has devastated the carbon tax agenda of the UN by exposing the Climategate scandal.

clipped from www.infowars.com

Globalists are invoking the threat of cyber attacks by nation states in order to accomplish their real agenda of stifling and regulating out of existence the last true outpost of free speech – the Internet. The establishment is furious at the level of influence individuals and small political groups have been able to wield by means of the world wide web, particularly over the last few years.
