Police ID suspect in Harrisburg shooting spree.

Around 4 p.m., a series of shots was fired at a Capitol police car at the corners of Third and State streets in Harrisburg. This was followed with two other shootings: one at 5th and Market streets and the other at 17th and Mulberry streets.

Police shot and killed 51-year-old Ahmed Aminamin El-Mofty, later identifying him as the man behind all three shootings. Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico said that police were deliberately targeted, and that the fatal shooting happened as El-Mofty approached officers with two rifles and a shotgun, shooting at them.

SF Terror Attack Thwarted

May still happen. A black African guy who usually is mumble-singing from the Koran has started riding the very crowded Caltrain to SF every day. He's young, in good shape, meticulously dressed, does not smile or chat with anyone.

The good news is that there is usually a seat on the train next to him, so you don't have to stand even when the train is packed! :-)

"A suicide bomber in Kabul killed at least 6 people in an attack early Monday, near the Afghan intelligence agency.

The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack through its news agency Amaq."

So, a few days ago a woman in Minneapolis was attacked walking home from work in a nice neighborhood. She struggled with her knife wielding attacker for several minutes and was stabbed 17 times. Several neighbors came out and raised a hue and cry and the bozo ran off.

Now, the original articles and the police PR mysteriously left out ANY physical description of the perp. You'd think the police, and maybe the media, would provide SOME description so people might call in if they saw a suspicious character matching the description. In fact this is very normal. But we got neither White nor Black, Tall or Short.

Guess what he was?

It's not just terrorism that third world Muslim migrants bring.

All part and parcel of "Sweden coming to the USA" where news outlets and even the police are starting to avoid descriptions or names of unapprehended attackers "if they fit a certain demographic".
Here's a story from another local paper that contains NO description. Searching Star-tribute for Evenson, Stabbing, etc. I found no story at all.
http://www.southwestjournal.com/news/crime/2017/12/woman-in-recovery-after-dec-13-stabbing/

The odds that the woman who fought the attacker for at least a couple of minutes, plus all the neighbors who came out to help, and nobody could give the most elementary description is very, very slim.

TwoScoopsPlissken says

left out ANY physical description of the perp.

I found a partial description: "Police described the suspect as a man in his early 20s, about 5 feet 7 inches with a light build, wearing an “Army green colored jacket and gray stone washed jeans.”" That's quite detailed including the color of his clothes (which he can easily change) but somehow excluding the color of his skin.

Pamela Geller has a screenshot of a local TV news report that said Somali. Jihadwatch says, "The Minneapolis papers have ignored this story, and the only identification of the attacker as a Somali Muslim migrant comes toward the end of this video report. The Minneapolis media seems determined to ensure that no one get a negative impression of the Muslim migrants as they continue to flow into the area in large numbers."

I heard there was some kind of car attack that looks suspiciously like a Truck of Peace attack. Here in the USA. Have to look into it.

"Bombing Attack Kills 41 In Kabul, [ISIL/Daesh] Claims Responsibility
***
Explosions caused what Afghan President Ashraf Ghani's office calls "a massacre" in a Shiite area in Kabul on Thursday. The attack targeted civilians at a cultural center and affected a nearby news agency. At least 41 people died, and dozens more are wounded.

"Local media reported there were two suicide bombers," NPR's Diaa Hadid reports from Islamabad. "One of them detonated his explosives at the gate of a Shiite cultural center — the blast also damaged an Iranian-owned news agency.""

I can understand why people would want to get out of Islamic countries, but if they intend to bring Islam with them wherever they go, then they should find a somewhat less terrible Islamic country. Nixon's disastrous deals with KSA enabled Saudi Petrodollars to hypnotize NATO into doing the KSA's dirty work, so now some blame the USA, but Islamic carnage and oppression go back centuries before the USA was founded.

London acid attack: Police alert after lone woman targeted in sick assault
A WOMAN has been sprayed with a “noxious substance” in a sick acid attack in London.

The victim was sprayed yesterday, with police warning she has suffered life-changing injuries.

Officers have now issued an appeal for information regarding the incident.

They said the woman was walking alone when she was attacked with a “strong acid solution”.

Sweden.

"The local affiliate of the Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for an attack at a Cairo church that left at least nine people dead.

The claim, which was carried by the group's Aamaq news agency, said Friday's attack was carried out by a "security detail" and that one of its men was "martyred" in it.

A gunman on a motorcycle opened fire outside the church and at a nearby store, sparking a shootout that killed at least nine people, including eight Coptic Christians, in the latest attack targeting the country's embattled Christian minority.

The gunman was also killed, along with at least one police officer, officials said."

Another New Islamic Couple in Attack Plot

LONDON – A couple, who met on a dating site and began researching how to make homemade explosives and the deadly poison ricin, were found guilty on Monday of plotting Islamic State-inspired chemical and bomb attacks on Britain.

Munir Hassan Mohammed, 37, from Derby in central England, began sharing extremist material within weeks of meeting Londoner Rowaida El-Hassan, 32, who in turn helped him find information on making ricin.

“This then rapidly escalated and El-Hassan, a qualified pharmacist, readily passed on her knowledge to Mohammed giving him the technical assistance he needed in preparing for a terrorist attack,” said Detective Chief Inspector Paul Greenwood.

“Although we do not know what Mohammed and El-Hassan’s exact intentions were, a number of concerning items had already been purchased and the pair had done extensive research regarding making TATP (acetone peroxide) and ricin.”

When arrested Mohammed already had two of the ingredients needed to make the highly unstable TATP, known as the “mother of Satan,” which was used by a suicide bomber in an attack on a pop concert at the Manchester Arena last May, killing 22 children and adults, one of four deadly attacks in Britain last year.

Another Muslim Attack in Florida:

Police in Riverview, Florida, arrested a member of the extremist sect The Nation of Islam after he attacked his partner, stabbed his two children, and set their house on fire, the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Several neighborhood witnesses now say they saw Ronnie Oneal shoot his 33-year old girlfriend, Kenyatta Barron, out on the woman’s front lawn.

He then reportedly went into the home and stabbed the couple’s daughter to death, then attacked his 8-year-old son, and finally set the home on fire.

Witnesses also say that this Nation of Islam terrorist was screaming “Allahu Akbar” as he perpetrated his attacks.

“I was shocked,” neighbor Walter Ballard said. “That’s the only thing that went through my mind: How could he do something like this?”

This question has been puzzling me as well, especially considering the anti-war platform Trump ran on. The Syrian air strikes were also greatly troubling.
Until news broke somewhat underground that the two may have been related.

I accept that we the public don’t get to know about everything that happens in the geopolitical arena, especially when it comes to the big nasty problems with national security. But rumor has it that those Syrian air strikes took out Iranian (Hezbollah) infrastructure designed to carry out nuclear explosions in the region. Even just a dirty bomb (using the uranium they’ve enriched) would be a devastating international incident. And with the Russians being cozy with the Iranians, and wishing us no good will lately, there is every possibility that they could provide our own American uranium (obtained thanks to Hillary Clinton) to Iran, who transports it to Syria and sets off a dirty bomb traceable to the USA.

At that point, it would take a lot of convincing to ensure the world didn’t believe that America (and Trump) hadn’t just gone full retard and was nuking failed states at large. It would have been a horrible nasty mess, both with international relations and at home. The Democrats would run wild in the streets slavering at the mouth and whacking old ladies suspected of Russian Collusion and liking the President. Republicans would retaliate, bringing a gun to a knife fight and our Second American Civil War would be underway. Exactly as would suit the Russians best. Exactly as they demonstrably tried to foment after the 2016 election.

If he got wind of this plot, Trump would have no choice but to act with extreme prejudice, hitting Hezbollah hard and ramping up the presssure against Iran. Which is what he did.
Could it be an accident that he also approved air strikes to kill 600 Russian soldiers in Syria? Or was that a rough warning to the Bear to back the fuck off?

I think there’s more going on here than shows at the surface. There always is. Reductionist tendencies do nobody any good in trying to understand international politics.

It is true that nearly 100% of these attacks are sunni.

Iran has nothing to do with them.

Wow, tin foil hat time. That hillary is one hell of a girl. Only one vote of 9 and she didn't even attend the committee meetings, sending a staffer to take care of it. Then she got the president, the Utah nuclear regulators, NRC, and AEC to sign off on the deal. But whoops that damn hillary never got an export license for uranium one. So whatever they mine can only be processed in the the US or Canada and only used in the US. God, really big bribes don't go as far as they used to do they? Sorry to break your infowars bubble, but US uranium has not been shipped to Russia.

Why would russia need US uranium ore anyway? The US produces less than 2% world production of uranium. Russia is sitting on large amounts of ore and processed uranium. There are even bigger deposits next door to Russia in Kazakhstan also owned by uranium one (which is a Canadian company). Which is much more likely why uranium one was purchased. Why would they need the small amount of ore produced by the US even if they could get an export permit? Totally fake scandal.

Obama and Clinton colluding to hand over 20% America’s strategic uranium to the Russians? On cue, Fox News gabber Sean Hannity said this could be 'the biggest scandal' in American history.

But here's the thing ― by 20%, we really mean almost zero.

Those U.S. facilities obtained by Russia produce almost nothing. The uranium deposits are of relatively poor grade and are too costly to compete on the uranium market. But the facilities do have good milling capacity to process ore, if anyone gives it to them, which hasn’t happened in about 10 years. Theoretically, they could process 20% of our ore, but that will never happen. Uranium One couldn’t give these facilities away.

Why has the largest mass shooting in us history fallen off the radar?

The Koran is interesting in its pervasive bitterness and righteousness.

It clearly reflects the deep psychopathology of its author, which believers are expected to accept into their heart as "good".

You find exactly the same kinds of rationalizations for murderous behavior in prisons, which perhaps explains Islam's popularity there. Islam tells the prisoners that they have been wronged and that they deserve revenge on the world.
