http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/08/05/AR201008\ 0504650_pf.html 14 charged for supporting Somalia terrorist group By PETE YOST and AMY FORLITI The Associated Press Thursday, August 5, 2010; 8:13 PM WASHINGTON -- The government announced Thursday that it has charged 14 people as participants in a deadly pipeline to Somalia that routed money and fighters from the United States to the terrorist group al-Shabab. The indictments unsealed in Minneapolis, San Diego and Mobile, Ala., reflect a disturbing trend of recruitment efforts targeting U.S. residents to become terrorists, Attorney General Eric Holder http://www.whorunsgov.com/Profiles/Eric_Holder told a news conference. In one case, two women pleaded for money to support violent jihad in Somalia, according to an indictment. The attorney general credited Muslim community leaders in the United States for regularly denouncing terrorists and for providing critical assistance to law enforcement to help disrupt terrorist plots and combat radicalization. We must ... work to prevent this type of radicalization from ever taking hold, Holder said. Of the 14 people charged at least half are U.S. citizens and 12 of them are out of the country, including 10 men from Minnesota who allegedly left to join al-Shabab. Seven of those 10 Minnesota men named in one of Thursday's indictments had been charged previously in the probe. Al-Shabab is a Somali insurgent faction embracing a radical form of Islam similar to the harsh, conservative brand practiced by Afghanistan's former Taliban regime. Its fighters, numbering several thousand strong, are battling Somalia's weakened government and have been branded a terrorist group with ties to al-Qaida by the U.S. and other Western countries. Terrorist organizations such as al-Shabab continue to radicalize and recruit U.S. citizens and others to train and fight with them, said Sean Joyce, the FBI's executive assistant director for the national security branch. One of two indictments issued in Minnesota alleges that two Somali women who were among those charged, and others, went door to door in Minneapolis; Rochester, Minn., and elsewhere in the U.S. and Canada to raise funds for al-Shabab's operations in Somalia. The indictment says the women - the only two people indicted Thursday who remain in the United States - raised the money under false pretenses, claiming it would go to the poor and needy, and used phony names for recipients to conceal that the money was going to al-Shabab. Omar Hammami, who is now known as Abu Mansour al-Amriki, or the American, was charged in Mobile, Ala. He has become one of al-Shabab's most high-profile members. He appeared in a jihadist video in May 2009. At the news conference, Holder said Hammami has appeared in several propaganda videos for al-Shabab and has assumed an operational role in that organization. Hammami grew up in the middle-class town of Daphne, Ala., and attended the University of South Alabama in Mobile, where he was president of the Muslim Student Association nine years ago. Hammami, 26, enrolled at the university in 2001 but left in 2002; school officials said they have been unaware of his whereabouts since then. Hammami's father, Shafik, is an engineer with the state highway department who also has served as president of the Islamic Society of Mobile. Shafik Hammami confirmed his relationship to Omar Hammami in e-mail exchanges with The Associated Press earlier this year but declined further comment. In San Diego, prosecutors unsealed an indictment charging Jehad Serwan Mostafa, 28, with conspiring to provide material support to al-Shabab. Mostafa is believed to be in Somalia. One of the Minnesota indictments alleges that the two women, Amina Farah Ali, 33, and Hawo Mohamed Hassan, 63, raised money by making direct appeals to people in teleconferences in which they and other speakers encouraged financial contributions to support violent jihad in Somalia. During one teleconference, the indictment says, Ali told others to forget about the other charities and focus on the jihad. The indictment says Ali and others sent the funds to al-Shabab through various hawalas, money transfer businesses that are a common source of financial transactions in the Islamic world. Ali is accused of sending $8,608 to al-Shabab on 12 occasions between Sept. 17, 2008, through July 5, 2009. The fundraising operation in Minnesota reached into Ohio, where a Columbus resident helped collect donations for al-Shabab, according to one of the indictments unsealed in Minneapolis. During appearances by Ali and Hassan before a federal judge Thursday in St. Paul, Minn., prosecutors didn't seek detention for either woman. A judge set several conditions for their release, including barring travel outside Minnesota without permission. Ali's attorney said she denied the allegations. Asked whether she understood why she was in

Plenty of Somali drug lords here in Minneapolis. They shot a kid in broad daylight a about four years ago. Right in the head. He was standing on the corner between his mom and his sister. College kid. Turned out to be a prominent member of Scholars for 911 Truth. Just a coincidence I'm sure. Do you think you could do a drive by like that and get away?

[cia-drugs] Fwd: The U.S. Economy Increasingly Means Just 5% of the Population, the Rich

Well, perhaps everyone should these days. Consumer spending accounts for roughly two-thirds of U.S. gross domestic product, or the value of all goods and services produced in the nation. And spending by the rich now accounts for the largest share of consumer outlays in at least 20 years. According to new research from Moody’s Analytics, the top 5% of Americans by income account for 37% of all consumer outlays. Outlays include consumer spending, interest payments on installment debt and transfer payments. By contrast, the bottom 80% by income account for 39.5% of all consumer outlays. It is no surprise, of course, that the rich spend so much, since they earn a disproportionate share of income. According to economists Emmanuel Saez and Thomas Piketty, as of 2007, the top 10% of earners captured about half of ALL income. What is surprising is just how much or our consumer economy is now dependent on the rich, and how that share has increased as the U.S. emerges from recession. In the third quarter of 1990, the top 5% accounted for 25% of consumer outlays. That held relatively steady until the mid-1990s, when it started inching up past 30%. It dipped in 2003 and again in 2008, but started surging in 2009 amid the greatest bull market rally in history, with the Dow Jones Industry Average rising nearly 50% in the last nine months of the year. Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody’s Analytics, cites two main reasons for the increase. First, the wealthy panicked during the financial crisis and stopped spending. When markets rebounded, they came out of their shells and started spending again. “I think that pent-up demand was unleashed,” he said. “It was an unusually high rate of spending.” The second reason is that those people in the middle- and lower-income groups are struggling to pay off debt and stay afloat amid rising unemployment, as today’s data remind us. That has crimped their spending. The data may be a further sign that the U.S. is becoming a Plutonomy – an economy dependent on the spending and investing of the wealthy. And Plutonomies are far less stable than economies built on more evenly distributed income and mass consumption. “I don’t think it’s healthy for the entire economy to be so dependent on the top 2% of the income distribution,” Mr. Zandi said. He added that, “In the near term it highlights the fragility of the recovery.” In fact, the recent spending of the wealthy may be unsustainable. Their savings rate has gone from more than 26% in 2008 to a negative 7% in the first quarter of 2010, according to the Moody’s Analytics data. They still have lots of savings. But the massive draw on that in the past two years is unlikely to continue at the same pace. “I think we’re already seeing a slowdown in spending by [the rich],” Mr. Zandi says. And that should be a worry for all of us.

Alcohol and fluoride inhibit, and eventually destroy, the areas of the brain that enable higher consciousness, empathy, morality, altruism, rational intention, independent thinking, etc. (Tobacco is a short- acting and extremely addictive tranquilizer mixed with a very potent carcinogen.) Americans are programmed by their religions and educational system to believe and obey authority, and are punished for independent thinking. The incessant flood of TV and radio advertising damages our ability to think rationally and make emotional contact with others. This is why most Americans don't care that our government (along with Israel's) perpetrated the 9/11 attacks, subsequently murdered 2,000,000 people in Afghanistan and Iraq, and is now poised (with Israel) to murder many millions more in Iran, using nuclear weapons. Cannabis and other psychedelics have the opposite effect on the brain from alcohol and fluoride. Used with proper set, setting, and dosage, they can reawaken people's humanity that has been suppressed by social programming, and enable us to re-integrate our fractured personalities and recover the true selves that we lost after childhood (become as little children). They can help us question authority and think for ourselves. This is what happened in the 1960s, leading to major opposition to the Vietnam War. The murderous psychopaths who control our government, media, and economy were astounded and frightened when one of their mass-murder operations (wars) was actual stopped by the American people. That's why the government banned these drugs with very harsh penalties at that time. These are the drugs that Kris Millegan and author Joseph Pietri are talking about.

[cia-drugs] WILDFires nears Chernobyl: Minister Warns of Radiation Risk [2 Attachments]
Russian WILDFires Approach Chernobyl: Russian Emergency Minister Warns of Radiation Risk 8-8-2010: MOSCOW - The Russian capital barely breaths on Saturday morning, invaded by the choking smoke from forest fires, while the temperature approaches 40 degrees. Meanwhile, for Chernobyl, the risk is great for radiation contamination if the wildfires continue to rage. Bottom line is this, is this Russian incident an act of God, or could it be something else? * http://www.breitbart.tv/russian-fires-approach-chernobyl-russian-emergency-minister-warns-of-radiation-risk/ - http://www.ennaharonline.com/en/international/4486.html [PLEASE NOTE: If benign Space ET/UFOs had not intervene in the catastrophic 2002 Russian Chernobyl nuclear power meltdown/explosion, half of Europe and Asia would now be a waste land!] - ZetaTalk: Chernobyl Note: recorded during the September 21, 2002 Live ZetaTalk IRC Session. Chernobyl was allowed to occur, as we have stated, as the elite in those days, in particular the elite of Russia, were out of touch with the reality of nuclear disasters. They needed a reality touch, so the normal brakes we and our brethren in the Service-to-Other had been applying were taken off, an accident that would have happened without these brakes, allowed. This affected, horrifically, those in the immediate vicinity. This also affected many in the European arena, as the dust blew about and panic was high in the populace. The effect was that Russia was horrified, drawn up sharply in their aggressive plans, and the leadership hardly casual about reining in the war mongers among them. There have been reports in the Russian Press, recently, that UFO's were sighted above Chernobyl, and a suspected intervention in the complete meltdown of the reactors done. This is true, but more than a complete meltdown was part of the intervention. The extent of poisoning in the immediate arena, such that deaths were limited and illness limited to that which could be treated, in the main. Also, the degree of poisoning of areas outside of the Chernobyl arena was limited. The point was, a lesson that would have occurred by the hand of man, was allowed to occur, but intervention in this occurrence also occurred. Thus, Chernobyl, and many incidents like this, would have been worse had mankind been allowed to proceed, but intervention by Service-to-Other visitors, in concert with rulings from the Council of Worlds to breach the Rule of Non-Interference, were in place. The readership is wondering if such intervention is in place now, and to what extent, as it is now the Bush Administration that is war mongering, ambitious, and without care of injury or deprivation to the populace of the world, save themselves, the narrow little group of power mongers in the White House. At present, no nuclear incident appears likely on the horizon, and thus no intervention is scheduled. This intervention can be very quickly arranged, by human terms, as the Council of Worlds does not need sleep nor have rigid rules about scheduling order, and priority issues get moved quickly in front of the Council. To explain with an example, if a nuclear bomb were launched, in the air, and about to land, the Council could be called into session, rule, and intervention applied before it would land. Needless to say, incidents during the pole shift will have a more leisurely time frame, and can be dealt with ahead of time. However, in that the hands of man can free the aliens in attendance during the Transformation, aliens who will have demands on their time assuring that the worthy survive the shift, to assist other humans in need after the shift, we appreciate all the help we can get from the hands of man in these matters. Humans should not rely on kind hearted visitors to arrange all, for them, but consider themselves team members in these matters.
