Lately there has been a trend in the "mainstream" news media to cover up acts of terrorism, calling
them "isolated incidents". Some examples of this are shown below, but I'm sure there have
been other similar cases. It's not difficult to connect the dots when dots are so plentiful. One of the most obvious cases of the government dimissing a terrorist attack as an "isolated incident" was the first one after September 11, 2001 — the crash of American 587, in New York City, just two months after the 9/11 attack. The plane was still smoldering on the ground when government officials began making extraordinary pronouncements that there was "no connection to terrorism" and it was just an "unfortunate accident." I could go on at length about this case... and I did, on this page. More examples of suppressed news stories can be found here and here. More examples of pro-Islam bias in the media can be found here. An example of an incident being hushed up and thrown down the memory hole is the case of Northwest Flight 327. Law enforcement's premature dismissal of terrorism as a motivating factor is puzzling — and harmful. Inverse False Alarms. The FBI's national spokesman was already prepared to dismiss a connection to terrorism the day after ricin was found in a Las Vegas hotel room. … It is, of course, too early to declare that the Las Vegas incident was connected to terrorism. But law enforcement's announcement to the contrary was almost certainly premature — and is part of a larger pattern of officials dismissing acts of violence as unrelated to terrorism long before they are in a position to know. Media fantasy land. This compelling drama has drawn scant attention from the mainstream media. And while apologists might attempt to write off the paucity of coverage for various reasons, a slew of other terrorism cases since September 11 have been met with the same media disinterest. Following the arrests of Mr. Mohamed and Mr. Megahed on Aug. 4 with explosives in the trunk of their car — just seven miles from a naval weapons base in Goose Creek, S.C. — The Washington Post and New York Times made fleeting references. Each paper ran the brief overviews from the Associated Press, with no independent reporting. The Myth Of The Lone Gunman. Since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the claim has often been made that no further acts of terrorism have occurred on U.S. soil. But anyone following the news closely knows better. While there has not yet been another large-scale attack, a number of terrorist plots have been broken up and a variety of suspicious crimes and incidents have occurred across the nation. But each time, authorities seem to have made every effort to downplay the terrorism angle. The Editor says... The article above was quoted here in its entirety, with a link back to this page.

The man, Mohammed Yusef Mullawala, of Jamaica, N.Y., is being held in federal custody for overstaying his student visa. State police Maj. Steven O'Donnell said that after two days of truck-driving classes, Mullawala's behavior was suspicious enough to prompt school officials to contact the Department of Homeland Security late last month.

Al Qaedism, Again. Why would Albanian-speaking Muslim refugees from the Balkans try to murder American soldiers? After all, the United States — not bin Laden's rag-tag jihadists — saved Bosnia and Kosovo? And we did that by bombing the capital of a Christian European nation.

San Francisco Just Nuts? What would possess a Muslim motorist to drive around San Francisco Bay Area streets in his SUV and deliberately run over pedestrians, including kids? Insanity, shrugs the mainstream media. Omeed Aziz Popal was taken into custody Tuesday [8/29/2006] after a hit-and-run spree that terrorized pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists for a full hour, killing one and injuring 14. The news treated the bloody rampage like a random act of violence. … War is no time for apologetics.

Driver's rampage: "Everyone needs to be killed," Omeed Aziz Popal calmly told officers as he sat in the back of a police car after a hit-and-run rampage that left one person dead in Fremont and 19 injured in San Francisco.

Authorities had increased patrols on Michigan's 5-mile-long Mackinac Bridge after local prosecutors said investigators believed the men were targeting the bridge. The Editor says... Terrorists use cheap disposable cell phones one time only and throw them away, as an untraceable means of communication. And any time young Muslim men are going from one Wal-Mart to another in the middle of the night, buying hundreds of cell phones with cash, they're up to something. This is not just a group of enterprising young men hoping to sell the phones at a profit. If that were true, they wouldn't have opened up all the packages. Have we learned nothing about Islamic terrorists in the last several years? Any time young Muslim men do anything as unusual as this, it is more than a little suspicious.

Three of the women were in critical condition Friday night [7/28/2006] with gunshot wounds to the stomach. Open Season on Jewish Women. [Naveed Afsal] Haq's brutal attack is no ordinary crime. It is the product of an Islamic culture that denigrates women in general and a jihadist culture that specifically seeks to destroy life. Thus, many Islamic suicide killers will purposely target pregnant women or women with small children before they blow themselves up. Seattle Suspect Hid Behind 13 Year Old. The man suspected in a fatal shooting rampage hid behind a potted plant in a Jewish charity's foyer and forced his way through a security door by holding a gun to a 13-year-old girl's head, the police chief said. Media ignores or downplays homegrown terror attack in Seattle. Are these the actions of a crazy person? A crazy person might cause harm to himself, maybe even someone close to him. Haq, though, did not know anyone at the Seattle Jewish Federation. He traveled some distance late last month from central Washington, getting there after determining his target following an Internet search for "something Jewish." Update: Accused Jewish center shooter pleads insanity. Naveed Haq, accused of shooting six women — one fatally — at a Seattle Jewish center last summer, pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity Wednesday as prosecutors tacked on 11 additional charges against him.

The victim was Paul Schrum, 62, from the 900-block of Bittersweet Road. … The Reisterstown area is Baltimores largest community of Jewish families. And again... The Jihad That Failed: "Leaderless resistance" barely dents the USA. Was it just a random moment of violence, or was it an act of jihad? The shooter is called Mujtaba Rabbani Jabbar — not a name that suggests Buddhism or Scientology — and Owings Mills is a heavily Jewish suburb. Chapel Hill, North Carolina Quite a stretch. On March 3, Mohammed Taheri-azar, a 22-year-old graduate of the University of North Carolina, rented an SUV and drove it into "the Pit," an area between two libraries on the UNC campus in Chapel Hill where students congregate, injuring nine. Mr. Taheri-azar told police he made the attack "to avenge the deaths of Muslims around the world." Mr. Taheri-azar smiled and waved at his arraignment, and told reporters he was "thankful for the opportunity to spread the will of Allah." Calling terror terror at UNC: In an obvious case of terrorism, a Muslim alumnus of the school attempted to run down and kill a large crowd of students in a popular meeting area on campus. However, the school's hard-left, P.C. mentality has not allowed the chancellor to provide a sufficient response to the incident. Indeed, he will still not even acknowledge the heinous act as one of terrorism! Alleged UNC campus crasher said he wanted to use a gun. A man charged with trying to kill students by hitting them with a car said he would have preferred using a gun but screening laws were too stringent, according to a letter read at a hearing in his case.

He struck nine people but, fortunately, none were severely injured. Until his would-be murderous rampage, Mr. Taheri-azar, a philosophy and psychology major, had a seemingly normal existence and promising future. Media won't report radical Islamic events. Most of the world today not only is in denial concerning the truly appalling likely consequences of the rise of radical Islam, it often refuses to even accept unambiguous evidence of its existence. The latest minor example of the latter is occurring at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Students Are Terrorized. But It's Not "Terrorism". On Friday afternoon [3/3/2006], an act of terrorism at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill left students and faculty in disbelief, wondering why a former student would ram an SUV into a crowded group of students. Many of them extended their disbelief to include a willful denial that the attack was an act of terrorism at all. Update: Muslim Suspect Charged With Driving Into Crowd at UNC to Offer Mental Defense.

A Case for Guantanamo: This is not the case of a few isolated, scattered incidents. FrontPage Magazine columnist Daniel Pipes has documented more than 30 such incidents post-September 11, 2001. Some of the highlights are: · July 2002 - Hesham Mohamed Ali Hadayet's double murder at the El Al counter in Los Angeles airport. · March 2003 - Hasan Akbar's fragging of his two officers (at an overseas U.S. military base). · August 2003 - Mohammed Ali Alayed's murder of Ariel Sellouk in Houston. · January 2005 - The Armanious family massacre. · May-July 2005 - The Jam'iyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh robbery spree to fund future terrorist activities.

Sayed Khaled El-Waraky, 19, of Vienna, Va., was being held without bond Tuesday [6/20/2006] after the incident early Sunday morning in Glen Cove. In Praise of Routine Traffic Stops: In July 2004, Michael Wagner's not wearing a seat belt got him stopped in a SUV near Council Bluffs, Iowa, that had in it "flight training manuals and a simulator, documents in Arabic, bulletproof vests and night-vision goggles, a night-vision scope for a rifle, a telescope, a 9mm semiautomatic pistol and hundreds of rounds of ammunition." America's Homegrown Troop Killers: It's bad enough that Americans are bad-mouthing American troops fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. But an alarming number of Muslim-Americans are plotting to kill them. Oklahoma bomber had jihad material. An Oklahoma University student who killed himself by detonating a bomb strapped to his body outside a packed stadium over the weekend was a "suicide bomber" in possession of "Islamic jihad" materials, according to a new report. Media ignores homegrown Islamic terror trial. The trial of Hamid Hayat, 23, is not taking place in the dark of night nor in a military tribunal from which the media is barred. It is in an open California courtroom, the very kind that has been overrun for trials of the likes of Scott Peterson and O.J. Simpson. Yet in the month of February, the New York Times had exactly one story on the alleged terror cell in Lodi, California. The Washington Post had none. And on the cable news channels, the trial has received scant attention. Terrorism? Naah … . Last Friday [April 29, 2005], firefighters conducting a routine inspection in a Brooklyn supermarket found 200 automobile airbags and a room lined with posters of Osama bin Laden and beheadings in Iraq. An element in the airbags can be used to make pipe bombs. The owner of the building, according to the New York Post, "served jail time in the late 1970s and early 1980s for arson, reckless endangerment, weapons possession and conspiracy, according to the records." But officials were definite: this has nothing to do with terrorism. The DC Snipers, aka the Beltway Shooters The Psychology of Junior Sniper Lee Malvo: There is no such thing as a psychological disorder which leads people to become so loyal that they're willing to kill. It's conjecture and excuse-making taken to a nearly incomprehensible extreme. The Washington DC Snipers, John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo: Numerous additional links to news articles about this case. Teen Sniper Malvo Gets Life Without Parole. A judge sentenced teenage Beltway Sniper Lee Boyd Malvo to life in prison without parole Wednesday [3/10/2004], but he may still face the death penalty if other states have their way. It is unclear what will happen next with the 19-year-old, who took part in an October 2002 killing spree in the Washington, D.C., area that left 10 people dead. Police union probes Moose. The police union here has formed a special committee to investigate Montgomery County Police Chief Charles Moose's handling of look-out information during the Beltway sniper manhunt, union officials told WorldNetDaily. Officials complain that Moose, who led the multi-agency sniper investigation, withheld critical information about the sniper suspects from investigators and patrol officers, thereby jeopardizing their safety. D.C. sniper Malvo confesses to killing Tucson man on golf course, police say. One of the Washington D.C. snipers confessed to killing a man on a Southeast Side golf course four years ago, Tucson police said Friday [10/27/2006]. The confession from Lee Boyd Malvo on Thursday brings a sense of closure to Jerry Taylor's family, who for many years have believed that Malvo and fellow sniper John Allen Muhammad were behind the slaying on March 19, 2002. The Rise and Fall of Charles Moose: Was it just a coincidence that the publicized spate of shootings began in Moose's jurisdiction? Moose and Muhammad had served in the Oregon National Guard at the same time but in different units in Portland. Moose claims they never met. Can we take that at face value, now that we have proof Moose lied about several important aspects of the case? Why, after shooting deaths by the same rifle were confirmed in other states didn't the FBI take over as the lead agency? By leaving Moose in charge, police were led on a wild goose chase looking for a white man driving a white van or truck. Members of the task force, presumably including the FBI, knew there were credible eyewitness reports to the contrary. The Rush From Judgment: Like many people, it crossed my mind early in the Beltway Sniper case that this might be a terrorist attack. I reserved judgment, realizing — unlike the armchair experts who flocked to fill airtime on cable news channels -- that I did not know all of the facts available to the police. But the moment I heard the suspect's name, John Muhammad, the conclusion was obvious. These killings were motivated by a version of the same Islamic ideology that has inspired mass murder around the globe. The other beltway shooter: At least one crazed Middle Eastern gunman has sought revenge on behalf of Muslims by gunning down Americans near the nation's capital and slipping in and out of our country with murderous ease. Could it be happening again? Back when they were looking for the Beltway snipers... Police suppress terrorism angle: ATF official says releasing descriptions of Mideast suspects would cause "panic". Malvo calls daughter of sniper victim. In March 2002, Malvo shot and killed [Cheryll] Witz's father, Jerry Taylor, as he practiced chip shots on a golf-course practice green. Taylor's murder was a precursor to a killing spree that terrorized the Washington, D.C., area, in which the teenage Malvo and partner John Allen Muhammad killed 10 people and wounded three others over a three-week span that began Oct. 2, 2002. Read this article: Rehabbing The D.C. Snipers. When news of the snipers' identity first broke, CNN anchors were so determined to avoid making the obvious connection to radical Islam that they called the lead sniper, a Muslim convert, by his old name. Police were looking for John Allen Muhammad, but CNN insisted on referring to him as John Allen Williams. Now the network has completely scrubbed Islam from the picture, offering child abuse (boo-hoo) and spousal revenge as alternative motives for the snipers' bloody rampage. Nowhere in its one-hour special — promoted as "The Minds of the D.C. Snipers" — is Islamist brainwashing even hinted as a motivating factor behind their serial assassinations. Los Angeles International Airport Nothing to see here. Move along. The watchdogs in the national press … insist on clouding our vision. Since 9/11, I've reported on the media's reluctance to highlight the convicted Washington, D.C.-area snipers' Islamist proclivities and journalists' refusal to call Egyptian gunman Hesham Hadayet's acts of murder at the Israeli airline counter at Los Angeles International Airport on July 4, 2002, "terrorism." Los Angeles airport shooting kills three. A gunman opened fire Thursday [7/4/2002] at Los Angeles International Airport while standing in line at the ticket counter of Israel's El Al Airlines, officials said, killing two and wounding four others before an airline security officer shot him dead. "An isolated incident at LAX": When I heard an FBI spokesman try to dismiss the Fourth of July attack on El Al passengers at Los Angeles International Airport by Egyptian Muslim Hesham Mohamed Hadayet as "an isolated incident," something about those words troubled me. I had heard them before. The FBI's B.S.: It seems as if the only ones who refuse to acknowledge that this was terrorism are the folks at the FBI. It seems that they are not willing to go any further than to say that the gunman, came to LAX with the intent to kill. Just how dumb do they think we are? Terror and Denial: It is obvious why Hesham Mohamed Ali Hadayet targeted Jews in a highly visible place on so prominent a date: to engage in terrorism against Israel. But one important institution — the U.S. government — claims not to know Hadayet's goals. What really happened to AA Flight 612. What makes the evidence particularly compelling is that the pilots apparently saw what the radar was reporting: ATC: Flare or a rocket? AA 612: It looked more like a rocket. ATC: American 612, how far away was it from your position? AA 612: It was about half way between us and the coastline when we first called that last center guy. This sounds very similar to the case of TWA 800. More on Possible Surface to Air Missile Attempt Against Passenger Aircraft. Just as suddenly as the story was broadcast, it seemed to have disappeared from the media. That's why this page exists. Possibly related information: Shoulder-Fired Missiles Pose a Serious Threat to Passenger Jets. Worldwide, at least 24 civilian aircraft have been brought down by shoulder-fired missiles, and more than 500 people have been killed. And experts say that shoulder-to-air missiles can be bought for only a few thousand dollars on the black market. But U.S. commercial aircraft still have no defense system against these portable missiles. Buncefield fuel depot near Hemel Hempstead Massive blaze rages at fuel depot. A police investigation into the incident has begun, including investigations by anti-terrorist police. But Chief Con Whiteley said there was "nothing to suggest anything other than an accident". [Yeah, right. The eyewitness accounts of the initial explosion describe exactly the effects of a car bomb.] Exxon-Mobil Workers Got Fake Flu Shots. As many as 1,000 Exxon Mobil employees and 14 residents of a senior citizens home were injected with fake flu vaccine, authorities said Friday [10/28/2005], and the owner of a home health care company was arrested. … Iyad Abu El Hawa, 35, was arrested Thursday. … "This is a very callous and disturbing crime," [U.S. Attorney Chuck] Rosenberg said. "He purposefully put at risk many, many people." Editor's Note: The item above is being mentioned here only because someone with a middle eastern name is charged with intentionally endangering the health and safety of hundreds of Americans. Sounds like a willfully malicious act. Fits the pattern. That's all I'm saying. 'Sudden jihad syndrome' poses domestic risk. Sympathy for al Qaeda has produced "sudden jihad syndrome" in domestic terror cells unaffiliated with foreign terrorists and people seeking to carry out attacks in the U.S., a law-enforcement intelligence analysis says. The Dec. 6 report by the Texas Public Safety Department's Bureau of Information Analysis warns officials not to dismiss individual or homegrown terror cells as "wannabes," saying they pose a credible threat to homeland security. … "As a result, law enforcement should not be too quick to judge their attacks as having no nexus to terrorism."
