The New Al-Qaeda:
Blonde Haired, Blue Eyed Westerners

Fox News hysteria labels Caucasians with no criminal record as "new breed of terrorists"

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Monday, January 14, 2008

Echoing the much derided 2003 FBI warning that a good way to spot potential terrorists is to check if they are carrying an almanac, Fox News went beyond the pale this morning in suggesting that Al-Qaeda's most likely acolytes are ... blonde haired, blue eyed Caucasian westerners with no criminal record.

Fox and Friends' ever ready Neo-Con slug Brian Kilmeade, who in November called on Americans to support terrorist car bombings in Iran, as well as funding for terrorist groups to "create havoc in Iran", interviewed ex-CIA spook Mike Baker, whose company Diligence LLC has close ties to the Bush administration and just happens to butter its bread with the aid of a steady supply of global unrest and terror hype.

The story, which is based on a comment by a single MI5 source (must be true then) that was subsequently picked up in a Scotsman article, claims that ... Al-Qaeda have recruited 1,500 white Britons to carry out attacks in the UK.

For those of us who recoiled in absolute horror at the proficiency of dumb and dumber's summer exploits in setting a car on fire at Glasgow airport, it's obvious that "Al-Qaeda's" recruiting efforts need to improve if they are to live up to the status lavishly bestowed upon them by the establishment media.

So, as Baker and Kilmeade somehow manage to relate while keeping straight faces, the new breed of jihadists have been identified as white Caucasian westerners with blonde hair, blue eyes, and no criminal record.

See it to believe it.

Funny, that is the same group of suspects that Korea must worry about letting into the country!

This cannot be a coincidence. Korean Immigration and the FBI cannot BOTH be wrong now, can they?

Maybe we should round them all up and put them in camps just to be on the safe side. Rolling Eyes

This is a serious problem, and the next terror attack could be the end of the visa waver program. They might not be white, but like the previous bunch, they will have been based in Europe.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 15, 2008


HALLIBURTON INTRODUCES NEW TECHNOLOGY TO HELP CUSTOMERS EXTEND THE LIFE OF THEIR ASSETS

Innovative portable modular rig designed to increase production

ABERDEEN, Scotland
- Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) has been awarded a one-year contract (with four one-year extension options) by Shell U.K. Limited for the provision of a portable modular workover unit. The initial work contract period is for one workover and three sidetracks on the Shell Gannet platform - operations which have the potential to increase the field�s oil production. The project is due to commence in the fourth quarter of 2008.

The design of the rack-and-pinion workover unit allows it to be installed quickly on platforms that have limited crane-lift and personnel-on-board capacities. It can also be used on installations with non-serviceable, or non-existing drilling derrick sets.

The award represents a step change in the sustainable development of Shell�s mature fields. The Gannet field, for example, has significant untapped oil volumes in its thin oil rim.

Said Mike Bowyer, Halliburton�s United Kingdom country vice president: �This award underscores our belief in the continued long-term viability of the North Sea industry. Halliburton is committed to helping its customers extend the life of their assets, and the introduction of new technology, such as the modular rig, will be a key contributor in achieving this objective.�

Founded in 1919, Halliburton is one of the world's largest providers of products and services to the energy industry. With nearly 50,000 employees in approximately 70 countries, the company serves the upstream oil and gas industry throughout the life cycle of the reservoir-from locating hydrocarbons and managing geological data, to drilling and formation evaluation, well construction and completion, and optimizing production through the life of the field.

I'll bet if al-Quaeda ate some cookies, they'd be better behaved.

Gingerbread cookies

INGREDIENTS
� 1 cup butter, softened
� 1 1/2 cups white sugar (dark brown)
� 1 egg
� 1 1/2 tablespoons orange zest (or more)
� 2 tablespoons dark corn syrup (Korean rice syrup)
� 3 cups all-purpose flour
� 2 teaspoons baking soda
� 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
� 1 teaspoon ground ginger
� 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
� 1/2 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS
1. Cream the butter and the sugar together. Add the egg and mix well. Mix in the orange peel and dark corn syrup. Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, ground cloves and salt, mixing until well combined. Chill dough for at least 2 hours, I like to chill overnight.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets. (Maybe 1 1/2� because these cookies spread quite a bit.)
3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until cookies are firm and lightly toasted on the edges. (Check at 8 minutes

Lemmee see if i can figure out this most recent "cryptic" post from the MOS sad sock out:

Likely just wishing thinking ... on some people's part.

Look who's talking.

Want to explain to us what this means and what its relevance is? Or do you expect people to read your mind, as usual:

Firefighters Work To Sink Giuliani Campaign
Tue Jan 22, 5:25 PM ET

Firefighters across the United States are joining forces to try to sink Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign effort.

Some local firefighters said they call his recollections of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, and promises of fighting terrorism a myth and insult.

A firefighters' union on North Orange Blossom Trail was the first stop in a series of rallies on Tuesday. Members urged voters not to support Giuliani for president.

The rally was organized by the International Association of Firefighters and family members of the victims of Sept. 11.

They said Giuliani is a fraud when he claims to be a leader in the wake of the terrorist attacks, and a liar for claiming to protect firefighters during the excavation of ground zero.

They also said he's weaving a myth on the campaign trail when he claims to have prepared New York City in the wake of the World Trade Center bombing in 1993.

Retired Deputy Fire Chief Jim Riches lost his firefighter son on Sept. 11, 2001.

"The terrorists killed my son, but Rudy Giuliani gave us bad respirators, which caused many first responders to get sick and die. We had to fish human remains out of the garbage dump, and also he had failures in communication in everything else that did lead to unnecessary deaths ... down there of civilians and firemen because his administration failed to heed the warnings of '93," Riches said.



Giuliani was endorsed last week by a national organization of state police during a visit to Walt Disney World Wink

The group said the No. 1 reason they're backing him is that he's the best candidate to improve ... "national security".

As for the firefighters' claim, a Giuliani spokesman said they're simply an arm of the Democratic Party.
