The West Texas Fertilizer plant already has a following of “truthers” who are certain that a missile or a JDAM set off the explosion after the fire was started. They have slow motion You Tube video to “prove” it too.

Apparently they had that fire out once... but it started again shortly thereafter. I have to wonder if it wasn’t a little Jihad lightning - an act of Allah like many forest fires apparently have been.

It’s bad enough when things keep blowing up - but when the Jihadis can fire missiles or drop bombs on targets right here in our homeland using our own drones or aircraft, that’s getting way out of hand.

Look for our oil refineries to start going up next.

Swami Barry does not like American energy independence, and I think he has a plan to curtail domestic production significantly. It will involve American casualties, but I really don’t think he cares.
He is determined to take America down one way or another, and God help anyone who gets in his way.

On Beck’s show Today they said there are 75,000 foreign national students originating from predominantly Muslim Counties in the US.
1 in 5 never show up for classes, that’s 15,000.

How large does that number have to be before they are no longer "lone wolves?"

That would be without any support whatsoever from anyone else.

Yeah.
Right.

” Jihad lightning “ a new urban lexicon terminology for Islamic terrorism in our modern age ?


Jihad Lighting, Islam's Jihad Blitzkrieg.

I’m in Alabama and I think think it’s odd that we had 3 hospitals on lock down last week and now Mobile Bay is on fire. Huh.

Witness said it sounded like aircraft going over dropping bombs.

Hmmmmmmmmmm...

Texas You Tube Truthers claimed they could hear something like an incoming JDAM or missile a split second before the major detonation, and most of the initial explosion fired out the side of the plant opposite to the alleged missile strike.

Whatever it was looked like it came in at a low angle pretty much following the smoke plume from the fire.

If any projectiles were involved in this barge explosion it was dark so no one would have seen or recorded them. If any air activity in the area I suspect that local ATC were ordered not to see nuttin’.

For all we know we could have NORK or Chicom Migs (or whatever they fly these days) all over our airspace and not know about it. When the enemy is in command of all of our military assets, who knows what is going to be unleashed on what... or whom... when... or why?

It’s not so much that they didn’t show up for classes, it was stated that these 15,000 never showed up to their stated destinations. I didn’t catch that all 75,000 here are mostly from muslim countries. I will have go back and listen again.

Nonetheless, my concern with this is simply that 2 guys brought Boston to a virtual stand still. What could teams of 2 do across this country. Even if less than 1/2 of the said 15,000 are not where they are supposed to be, that still leaves more than enough of them to create their little cells and do damage.

Government officials have stated, prior to any investigation, that there’s no frickin way this could be terrorist related. None, whatsoever.

That is because they employ the highest paid psychics in the industry.

I remember those heady days in the past though. The government running around saying, they did not know what caused the explosion, but they did know it was not terrorism related. For awhile, the government hacks did not even realize how stupid they sounded.

And then sometimes shipyards are simply a highly dangerous environment where accidents happen. Most shipyard accidents/incidents never hit the media.
