“While he was refueling his motorcycle, low and behold, the vehicle that he had reported stolen that belongs to him happened to pull into the gas station area also...We don’t know what their intentions were."
“While he was refueling his motorcycle, low and behold, the vehicle that he had reported stolen that belongs to him happened to pull into the gas station area also...We don’t know what their intentions were. We don’t know what they were planning on doing with any of this."
Thus spoke Los Lunas Police Captain Charles Nuanes with regards to the theft of a car in Los Lunas, called in to police and discovered one week later, when it was found by the police and found to contain an explosive device and Iraqi currency amounting to nearly $1000 U.S.
Los Lunas is a town southwest of Albuquerque in New Mexico.
The FBI insists that it has already ruled out terrorism as a root cause behind the actions.
Does anyone else who’s reading this find the FBI’s assertions as suspicious as the U.S. Airforce’s statements about the “UFO” sightings down in Stephensville, Texas?
The FBI arrives, Iraqi currency is found, the finding of the car (which contained an explosive device) is a really weird coincidence…but terrorism is ruled out entirely, not even suspected? And this at the very same time as Shi’ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr is trying to brew trouble and violence against “the Infidel” again over in Iraq, where the battles rage on?
The perverse PC approach that the U.S. authorities and law enforcement are choosing to take toward potential terrorism threats in this nation is exactly what Islamic radical militants are banking on for their success.
With this approach we are marching ourselves down into Hell, indeed.
Does FBI actually stand for Federal Bureau of Idiocy, or Federal Bureau of Incompetence, or something like that?
Perhaps it’s Fantastic Bastion of Innocence (with “innocence”, here, being a synonym for “naiveté”).
But “jihad” doesn’t really mean war, either. That’s what our CIA operatives and FBI agents are taught in “Islamic sensitivity training” courses that they have to take before taking any missions in the Middle East or investigating any cases involving Islamic suspects.
These are people who are so sensitive that they deliberately position military targets in the thick of civilian structures, permit women and children to act as suicide bombers, and call for driving the whole nation of Israel into the sea.
But we in the West don’t care about any of that, because we are too illuminated and civilized to even think along those lines.
What’s more, if those radical Muslims do something like, say, blow up a car at a gas station in New Mexico, it’s all our fault anyway. We let the Muslims buy too much Pepsi and sell us too much oil. Yeah, that’s it.
