FBI Arrests Three Men in Terror Plot that Targeted New York (Queens mosque leader, too...)
ABC News ^ | 9/20/09 | BRIAN ROSS, RICHARD ESPOSITO and CLAYTON SANDELL

The FBI arrested three men overnight on charges they lied to federal agents during an investigation of a terror plot against New York City that authorities say was "the real deal."

Agents in Denver arrested Najibullah Zazi, a 24-year old airport shuttle driver, who authorities say appears to be the ringleader of the alleged plot. Also charged with lying to the FBI was Zazi's father, Mohammed Zazi.

In New York, the FBI arrested the leader of a Queens mosque, Ahmad Afzali, who authorities allege had been a New York police department informant but "went bad" and tipped off Zazi, his father and others to the investigation.

Afzali's alleged double cross compromised the case and led the FBI to move in on the suspects much earlier than they had wanted and led to extreme tensions between the Denver office of the FBI and the NYPD. One law enforcement official said the NYPD had been specifically asked not to reveal the investigation to its informants, but went ahead anyway.

Were they members of ACORN as well or were they former members of Jerimiah Wrights church in the past? Will the FBI ask them for Birth Certificates?

Take a closer look at your shuttle bus driver next time you’re in Denver.

According to Karl Denninger, there is a link to these lending institutions and ACORN as well:

In affidavits filed in connection with the arrests, agents say they discovered nine pages of handwritten notes in Zazi's computer with details on how to make a homemade bomb.

According to the affidavit, Zazi initially denied knowing anything about the notes when he was shown them by the FBI during a three day interrogation.

Is this the same guy whose cat was downloading child porn?

And a U. S. Congressman this morning on Fox intimated that this might somehow be FBI PR on the eve of consideration of the Patriot Act!

Apparently so.

The bigger picture is that the taxpayers ultimately pay for the greedy of all the Banksters and all their high-risk schemes.

We need to destroy the central-banking system in our country and internationally if we want freedom and prosperity.

That takes some serious courage. It's one thing to go up against our regular army when your leaders have told you that Obama has hamstrung them (rules of engagement) to make them easy prey. It's a whole different thing to go after New Yorkers on their turf.

New York has been hit before at least twice, 1993 and 2001, and numerous plots have been thwarted in New York. Terrorists aren't the least bit afraid of New Yorkers because New Yorkers ain't nearly as bad ass as they think they are. Notice how there hasn't been a terrorist attack in Tennessee or Texas? Going after rednecks and cowboys, now that would be a whole different thing......

After they have tea and crumpets, they'll ask a few questions. Don't want to be charged with interrogation abuse!

I believe you’re right.

When Big Government talks about regulation, they regulate the little guys that aren’t doing any harm. The regulation simultaneously shackles the little guy and gives the big banksters and financiers greater freedom and secrecy.

“Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes the laws.”

Mayer Amschel Rothschild (one of the king pins of international central banking)

This is what Thomas Jefferson warned us against when he said a central bank is more of a threat to a republic than a standing army at the gate.
