CNN …As 13 Killed in Possible Terror Attack – Reporter Carol Costello… Confused???

Video:  CNN's Barbara Starr: 'We're Talking About a Conspiracy to Attack the U.S. Military'

Audio: Rush Limbaugh mocks on CNN’s Carol Costello for not knowing about Ft. Hood

So why doesn’t this woman remember the terrorist attack at Fort Hood… the terrorist attack at another base?  Does Nidal Hasan, self admitted and just convicted on all counts of Terrorism, ring a bell?  Why was it originally reported that the shooters were two white men?  And why would the President of the United States and his Press Secretary go ahead with the incredibly divisive and inaccurate statements on the budget at such a time?  Is that leadership?

Comment:

Disgusted:   Nidal Hasan, lady… I mean really!! You don’t remember Nidal Hasan, who admitted to committing acts of terrorism at Ft. Hood and then was found guilty on all counts?  Did this woman really buy into the Obama Ft. Hood spin that it was just workplace violence to that point that she forgot Nidal Hasan’s own words and the outcome of his trial?  People, if you are getting your news from ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN alone… and worse yet MSNBC, you are in the dark and being manipulated!!!  And now it comes out that this (the killed shooter) also spent time at Ft. Hood?

And what was with those divisive comments earlier today by Obama in the wake of this tragedy, trying run down the Republicans?  Divide and Conquer… the Alinsky way!

Navy Man:  This was definitely either a terror attack or a government created event to create diversion, chaos or to promote an agenda!!!!!!!!!!!  Manipulation of a far too uninformed populace!!

MGA:

I am a former Navy wife… although years ago, but any base I ever went to was heavily guarded at the gates.  There is definitely more to this than meets the eye!!  And how convenient… again.  The bad news for the administration in the upcoming Congressional Benghazi Report is out through a draft given Fox News.  The whole Syria mess has exploded in Obama’s face and he looks completely incompetent!  Or is it going just as planned by the power elite, taking us to WWIII?  And Obama’s ridiculous self-serving pat on the back speech that was scheduled for today… the day of the shooting was already taken apart and seen by those who are informed as a pure fairytale with an attempt to demonize the other side… again, that he went ahead with, even in the wake of this tragedy.  Smoke and mirrors my friends!!

Nancy J: 

I worked in the Navy Yard at the NRL during the Reagan administration and they are heavily guarded by massively armed military with shoot-to-kill orders. How did the terrorists get in? (did they relax security making them vulnerable to penetration?) Or were the terrorists on the inside - authorized to be in there? If so, how in the world did they ever pass the extensive process of the background check with polygraph - and the re-checks done every 2 to 5 years - to even get authorization?!

Conspiracy? Definitely - based on the definition of the word, which the left wants everyone too dumbed down to even know what a conspiracy actually is or to even have the sense to look it up in the dictionary.

RN: 

Thank you Bill Clinton for disarming all servicemen.  NOT!! Another U.S. base that suffered because your HORRIBLE policies!!

TMH: 

Conspiracy by the government to create an emergency probably. One in five now interviewed for high security in the government are radicals Jihadists and they are letting them in. Between them, the Progressive radicals and those who have had enough of all this crap, it will happen more and more.

MJ: 

It seems like whenever this stuff happens, you can tell by the inflection of the voices of the reporters… that something just isn’t right in what they are reporting.   Wonder what they are up to ….maybe a reason for higher levels of security across the country?  Tighten the noose…  Or just another diversion?  Another play for more gun control and confiscation?

A Shiny New War: At Home and Abroad

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton -  The NoisyRoom

Reuters/The Blaze: A marcher holds a U.S. flag bearing the image of President Barack Obama during the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington August 24, 2013.

Knowing that we would wind up here does not take a crystal ball. Many have predicted just this scenario, including myself. War is the ultimate solution of leaders who find themselves in a variety of rock and hard place situations. And Barack Obama has stuffed America in the hardest place of all, sealed us in with nuclear weapons and has lit a very short fuse.

Let’s start with the coming race war that the progressives at home are stoking for all they are worth. You saw the ginned up fiasco of the Zimmerman case where Obama claimed that Trayvon Martin could have been his son and then claimed he actually could have been Trayvon Martin — thereby personalizing the racial conflict out of a non-existent racial confrontation. Then we had the Australian, Chris Lane, being shot in the back while jogging last week by three teenagers – 2 black, one mixed. We had a WWII vet named Shorty (88 years-old) beaten to death with flashlights by 2 young black men in Spokane, Washington. Someone was set on fire in a parking lot in Memphis, Tennessee. A young white boy was savagely beaten on a school bus by several black kids and the list goes on and on. This doesn’t begin to list what has been happening for a while now with black on white crime. All of this can be laid directly at the feet of Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Oprah Winfrey and a whole raft of race baiters who have an agenda that envisions race riots in the streets and a new order being born in America.

An employee named Ayo Kimathi, who is the Acquisitions Officer at ICE for the Department of Homeland Security, has a hate-filled, racially motivated site named War on the Horizon that talks about the coming race war. His handle is ‘Irritated Genie.’ The site had to be approved by DHS and the employee has been with the government agency since 2009. He is now on paid leave, which means nothing. It means at some point they will quietly bring this evil race monger back like nothing ever happened. The best part is that this person is the one who ordered ammo and guns for the DHS.

According to reports, this guy is unstable and everyone in the office is afraid of him. He calls President Obama a “treasonous mulatto scum dweller” and rants about whites and their ”effeminization of the black male.”

From The Blaze:

“The 21st century will either mark the return of Black resistance to white domination or global white-on-Black genocide leading to our complete extinction,” the website declares. “Warfare is eminent, and in order for Black people to survive the 21st century, we are going to have to kill a lot of whites – more than our christian hearts can possibly count.”

On its main page, War on the Horizon says preparing for racial warfare includes “intellectual, spiritual, psychological, and physical preparation for a global clash that will mean the end of white rule on this planet or the end of the Black Race as we know it. ”

And there is a lot more hate on this site to go around:

Under the June 2010 article “Goodbye Uncle Tom,” the website lists Rev. Al Sharpton, a “sadistic political white-sex offender…who advocates ‘homosexuality’ among Black people”; Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and former Secretary of State Colin (spelled “Colon”) Powell who will “indirectly assist in the genocide of Black people; Oprah Winfrey, a “wealthy lesbian mammy” who does “everything in her power to assist whites in destroying strong Black manhood; as well as “all rappers,” “all political homos” and “all promoters and supporters of interracial dating/marriage/sex.”

“We must become militant, hostile, violent, and deadly to those individuals and groups in our community who don’t comply to Black decency and Race First standards. We cannot continue to be Black people with white behavior. – Black Afrikans Only!” the website states. “…Once we have largely purged our Race of its Race traitors, war with our natural enemy, the white Race, will intensify and become the single most powerful motivating force in the lives of Afrikan people worldwide.”

Why would you knowingly have someone like this in a government agency with the responsibility and power this guy had? He has been with them four years and the site was approved — so regardless of what they claim, they knew of his inclinations. I would put forth that this is just the kind of individual they want around — one who is extreme and wants violence. One who hates America in general. The fact that he hates most African Americans as well is just a minor annoyance or a contrivance. This is what we have controlling our country now. We have radical Islamists, black power racists, progressives, Marxists, communists and every imaginable corrupt, evil recruit they can find. America has gone to the dark side and we are fighting in the shade. War is coming to America’s streets and neighborhoods and our leaders are the delivery boys.

Video:  Losing the American Way…

On to the war abroad…

By now everyone has heard of the supposed chemical attack by Assad in Syria on his own people. I have seen reports of up to 355 dead with 3600 sickened — many being women and children. If true, that is horrific. But there is serious doubt about it being true. The last reported chemical attack turned out to be false and numerous experts claim this one is too.

I have no love of Assad — he’s an evil man, heading an evil regime. But the rebels are composed of al Qaida and the Muslim Brotherhood and are every bit as evil. Much the same can be said of our current government as well. They want this war; it creates worldwide chaos that they desperately need to reset a looted and plundered monetary system and to reform governments closer to their heart’s desire. I’m not the only one who sees this either. From Michael Rivero:

1. Why would Syria’s Assad invite United Nations chemical weapons inspectors to Syria, then launch a chemical weapons attack against women and children on the very day they arrive, just miles from where they are staying?

2. If Assad were going to use chemical weapons, wouldn’t he use them against the hired mercenary army trying to oust him? What does he gain attacking women and children? Nothing! The gain is all on the side of the US Government desperate to get the war agenda going again.

As I type these words, US trained and equipped forces are already across the border into Syria, and US naval forces are sailing into position to launch a massive cruise missile attack into Syria that will surely kill more Syrians than were claimed to have died in the chemical attack.

And he is right. I would suggest there is a strong possibility here of a set-up and an agenda for a much needed war. I would not put it past Assad to use chemical weapons, but it looks too pat and doesn’t make sense. I have seen on the web many, many pictures of dead children from the chemical attacks playing on the sympathies of the world. This is an old, tried and true technique of garnering sympathy in order to do unspeakable things.

Just to be clear, these are the rebels we are backing — from The Blaze (warning: graphic video):

Make no mistake, employing the Doctrine of Responsibility to Protect, we are readying for an attack on Syria. Samantha Power, who missed the last UN meeting, was resting up for the conflict ahead. We are moving our warships closer to Syria in preparation for missile attacks when Obama gives his blessing.

Iran and Syria are warning that if we attack Syria, it will set the whole Middle East on fire. I fear that is true. Should we attack Syria, by proxy, we will be attacking Iran and Russia. Qatar and Saudi Arabia will back the US, but only so far and for so long. Hello all-out World War III. China will either wait to pick up the pieces or back Russia. Obama has gutted and severely weakened our military — a full-scale war will cause a further financial collapse in the US and the odds of us prevailing are very poor. Americans overwhelmingly oppose attacking Syria, not that it matters to our Islamist-in-Chief.

Now Britain and France are beating the war drums along with the US. They believe intervening in the Middle East and setting it on fire will cure the world’s economic woes. They have severely underestimated the Jihadists and the plans that Russia has set in motion. Russia must be over the moon with this because it gives them leeway to further their capture of the Middle Eastern territories for land, power, wealth and resources. And as an added bennie, they think they may rid themselves of the Jews and America. Maybe America, never the Jews. Russia is rising in the Middle East and making alliances in the void of leadership America is leaving behind. Already they have wooed Egypt — China is doing the same thing across the planet. Obama wants this — he can destroy America while credibly denying and blaming others. It’s the progressive way.

This all has the feel of the amateur video used as an excuse for Benghazi — it doesn’t pass the smell test. It’s the same players and the same board. Do you think our leaders really give a crap about 355 people supposedly dead in Syria? Come on! Thousands have died. It is way too convenient an excuse to go to war. So, while we point the finger at Assad and ready for war, Americans are besieged from every side with chaos and evil at home, so much so they don’t know what to do or what to think. Just the way Obama wants it.

If this war unfolds (as it will almost assuredly do), tighten your belts. Forget $10 a gallon gas, you’ll be lucky to get gas. And food? I hope you have some. Please prepare now. Things are about to get very interesting in a bad way. Israel has their finger on the ‘trigger’ and they won’t hesitate to defend themselves. We better get ready to defend ourselves as well. A pale horse brings war at home and abroad.

MANHUNT: Boston Terror Suspect Dead, the Other on the Loose in Watertown (Check Back for Updates)

Michael Savage Interviews Walid Shoebat on Boston Marathon Bombing Incident – Updated

TheBlaze: MANHUNT: One Terror Suspect Dead, the Other on the Loose (Live Updates)

• One Boston Marathon bombing suspect is dead, the other is the target of a massive manhunt. They were brothers, originally from a Russian region near Chechnya, before ending up in the Boston area.
• The surviving suspect has been identified as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, who had been living in Cambridge just outside Boston. The deceased suspect’s name was Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26.
​•​ The brothers have reportedly been living in the U.S. for 10 years.

​TheBlaze’s Jason Howerton contributed to this report.

​Latest updates below:

​UPDATE 12:57 p.m. ET​ — Former FBI agent Clint Van Zandt tells MSNBC that the decision by police to hold controlled demolitions in Cambridge could indicate a space might be booby-trapped or it could just be precautionary. It could also be done so officers can gain access to other areas.

​UPDATE 12:47 p.m. ET​ — NBC News reports additional details about the carjacking and shootout ended with the death of one of the suspected bombers. They reportedly told the driver of the Mercedes SUV they were behind the marathon bombings, then tried to use his cash card to withdraw money from three ATMs. The suspects ultimately released the driver unharmed at a Cambridge gas station:

As they sped toward Watertown, a police chase ensued and the suspects tossed explosive devices out the window, officials said.

There was a long exchange of gunfire, according to Andrew Kitzenberg of Watertown, who took photos of the clash from his window and spread them on social media.

“They were also utilizing bombs, which sounded and looked like grenades, while engaging in the gunfight,” he told NBC News in an interview. “They also had what looked like a pressure-cooker bomb.

“I saw them light this bomb. They threw it towards the officers,” he said. “There was smoke that covered our entire street.” [...]

Kitzenberg said he saw the firefight end when Tamerlan Tsarnaev ran toward the officers and ultimately fell to the ground…[he] had an improvised explosive device strapped to his chest, law enforcement officials said.

Dzhokhar…drove the SUV through a line of police officers at the end of the street, Kitzenberg said.

UPDATE 12:35 p.m. ET​ — Massachusetts State Police: “We are progressing through this neighborhood, going door to door, street to street.”

No developments on the search itself — “no apprehension at this point.” There will be a controlled explosion in Cambridge.

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said it’s important for people to continue to stay indoors, don’t open up unless it’s a uniformed officer.

Suspect information from the Boston Globe:

Suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing appeared to embody the best of the American immigrant experience, having come from southern Russia, near war-torn Chechnya, more than five years ago, and assimilated into the local Cambridge community and culture.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, the alleged bomber pictured in a dark hat in FBI videos released Thursday, was a talented boxer with hopes of joining the US Olympic team. He was reportedly killed overnight in a shootout with police.

His brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, the suspect seen in FBI photos in a white cap, was a member of the class of 2011 at Cambridge Rindge & Latin School, and won a Cambridge City Scholarship that year. [...]

People who knew the suspects are struggling this morning to reconcile the young men they knew, who lived on Norfolk Street in Cambridge, with the acts of terrorism they are accused of committing.

“He was normal,” said Lulu Emmons, who went to Rindge & Latin with Dzhokhar. “He kind of fit in with everyone. Not really close with anyone, but he was friendly.

​UPDATE 9:36 a.m. ET​ — This is the most recent photo the FBI has released of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev:

[T]he uncle of the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings [is] confirming that the name of the second suspect is Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the older brother of Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19. [...]

The Boston Police Department reportedly provided the following image of the second suspect who was still at large in Watertown to WBZ-TV. He is believed to be armed and dangerous. While the man in the photo certainly resembles “suspect 2″ in the Boston bombings, it has not has not been confirmed that it is the same person.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (TheBlaze/AP) — Authorities say a campus police officer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has died after being shot multiple times on the campus outside Boston, WFXT reports.

Cambridge police and the Middlesex District Attorney’s office says the officer was responding to a report of a disturbance when he was shot multiple times. He later died at a hospital. His name was not immediately released.

State police spokesman Dave Procopio says the shooting took place about 10:30 p.m. outside an MIT building.

Procopio says authorities are searching for a suspect or suspects. The suspects are reportedly connected to a carjacking that took place in the Cambridge area.

About 11,000 people attend the prestigious school. The campus website said police were sweeping the campus and urged people to stay indoors.

Here’s the original emergency alert from MIT’s website:

10:48 PM today gunshots were reported near Building 32 (Stata) which is currently surrounded by responding agencies. The area is cordoned off. Please stay clear of area until further notice. Unknown if injuries have occurred. Although the situation is considered active and extremely dangerous, an investigation is underway. Updates will be provided at this site when more information becomes available.

@AllisonxPreston Didn't this week show you ANYTHING? Take away all the guns and nuts will use Pressure cookers. YOU CAN'T STOP MASS KILLING

But sometimes we receive the messages we need, when we are blind… the second amendment needs to stand as is. The U.S. immigration policy and our embracement of radical Islam is insane, just look at Great Britain.  The TSA is worthless and our borders must be secured by any an all means necessary.  As for amnesty light… forget about it! 

Sacrificing Freedoms is never the answer!!

You be the judge….
