Subject: Silly DOJ mental pipsqueaks squeak (Bloomberg)

ARTICLE BELOW
==================
Well, first of all, we'll wait
for the *actual* pandemic strain:
http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?tool=pubmed&pubmedid=11562490
(not H1N1)
And secondly, when the DOJ can
hire some smart people to figger
out who performed the 911 stunt,
http://www.actionlyme.org
then maybe we'll be interested in
what the DOJ has to say.
Silly person.
Sometimes I really do wish I
had the magical powers attributed
http://www.actionlyme.org/070430.htm
http://www.actionlyme.org/SCIENTIFIC_FRAUD_WITH_INTENT.htm
to Lyme victims. I would turn this
one - this "lAwYeR" -
into a newt, definitely. Or maybe I'd
turn her into some poop-eating worm to pay
tribute to the boomeranger qualities of
unintellectual, fairy-scary-lawyerly-
BS-spewing.
Ya know, the first thing any "law
school" ought to do with would-be lawyers
is teach them how actual thinking is
performed and then show outcomes like
Anton Scalia:
http://scienceblogs.com/intersection/2006/11/scalia_idiocy_continued.php
JUSTICE SCALIA: Troposphere, whatever. I told
you before I'm not a scientist.
(Laughter.)
JUSTICE SCALIA: That's why I don't want to
have to deal with global warming, to tell
you the truth.
-----------
You'd think thinking *not* as some
lawyer-fairy or high school girl or
a psychiaperv was a social disease.
"I don't want to talk about facts!
Facts annoy me and *I* am the judge,
so there!"
------------
No. We're not listening to the
incompetent USDOJ or the incompetent
CDC or the incompetent FDA or the
incompetent NIH. ...
WTC7 was a controlled demolition. That
means someone knew about the 911 event
ahead of time and planted the thermate.
It is a physical impossibility for the
7 to come down in 7 seconds without
the resistance of each floor being removed.
It was a CIA building.
Al Quaeda did not perform this event
without assistance- the assistance of
the very people who created Al Quaeda
for the intended purpose of having a
"War on Terror" to prevent the petrodollar
collapse. The likes of AIG was gambling
on winning Iraq, just like Enron was
gambling on holding out past the
911 event and the invasion of Afghanistan.
None of their plans went according to
plan and Putin told Bush what was what
in Kennebunkport.
This reaction by the USDOJ is in fact
meant to be a distraction, once again.
Whenever we get nearer and nearer the truth
about world events - just like when the
CDC starts spewing about fat Americans -
these faggots start talking about "terror."
What set them off this time was all the
clarity out there on the internet about
the utter stupidity of the Afghanistan war.
We know what this is about.
Afghanistan is a useless war and a desperate
attempt to remain in the Middle East after
the failed Iraq War. It's about pipelines
and about not retreating in the embarrassment
of failure. It's about not conceding the
Middle East to China and Russia - the
inevitable.
JERKS!

Napolitano Says Al-Qaeda-Style Terrorists Are in U.S. (Update3)
Share | Email | Print | A A A
By Jonathan D. Salant and Jeff Bliss
Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano
said law-enforcement authorities are tracking terrorists with al-Qaeda
leanings in the U.S.
“It is fair to say there are individuals in the United States who
ascribe to al-Qaeda-type beliefs,” Napolitano said in an interview
with Bloomberg Television today. “And so it makes information-sharing,
it makes effective law enforcement and it makes the shared
responsibility of law enforcement ever so important.”
Information-sharing between federal, state and local law- enforcement
agencies is “much improved” since the Sept. 11 attacks, she said.
In September, U.S. authorities indicted Najibullah Zazi, 24, an Afghan
immigrant and former Denver airport shuttle-van driver, on federal
terrorism conspiracy charges. They said bomb-making instructions were
found on a laptop computer in his rental car.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said the case had connections to al-
Qaeda, the terrorist group that attacked the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001.
The threat of attack “is always with us,” Napolitano said today.
Benchmark stock indexes trimmed gains after her comments.
Napolitano, 51, made her remarks in an interview with Bloomberg
reporters. She touched on a variety of areas she oversees.
Better Enforcement
Intelligence tips on terror suspects are more important than a system
to track visitors leaving the country, she said. She also said better
border enforcement will help make the case for immigration
legislation.
The secretary said she met today with financial institutions on
threats to computer systems. She said she also was in New York to
appear on ABC’s “The View” and “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” on
Viacom Inc.’s Comedy Central, seeking different venues from which to
discuss homeland- security issues.
Successes against al-Qaeda have helped keep the main organization
holed up in the tribal region of northwestern Pakistan, she said.
“Constant pressure on al-Qaeda through a variety of means, some of
which have been through the Department of Defense, has really confined
them geographically,” she said.
Tracing Finances
Al-Qaeda leaders have been caught or killed, and the group’s financing
has been traced and blocked, Napolitano said. The leaders are adapting
to the U.S. efforts by using affiliated groups in northern Africa and
other regions to help plan attacks, she said.
“This is not a static target or a static threat environment,” she
said. “We can’t simply say we can check this box and we can move on.”
In the U.S., the government has put money into gathering intelligence
about the movements of terrorist suspects, Napolitano said. “The key
thing is intelligence analysts,” she said.
This effort is more of a priority than developing a system that could
keep track of visitors, she said. The government can’t track the more
than 200,000 people who intentionally have overstayed their visas, the
New York Times said today.
“Such a system would be very, very expensive and laborious to have,
given the kinds of border we have,” she said. Scientists and engineers
aren’t “even sure they have the technology to make it work.”
Border Patrol
In addition to improving intelligence, the U.S. is getting more
control over its borders by adding Border Patrol agents and increasing
enforcement, particularly in the Southwest, said Napolitano, who was
governor of Arizona until President Barack Obama picked her for his
Cabinet.
The stepped-up monitoring and rounding up of illegal border-crossers
is quelling opposition to immigration legislation, she said.
“One of the things that has changed is that there has been a lot of
enforcement at the Southwest border,” she said. “It’s just not the
same border.”
Republican lawmakers in 2007 helped defeat a comprehensive immigration
measure pushed by former President George W. Bush’s administration
over concerns about lack of enforcement. The Bush-backed measure
included a program that allowed foreigners to temporarily work in the
U.S.
Napolitano declined to say when Congress would begin debate on another
immigration measure. The Homeland Security department is working with
Senator Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat, on the legislation, she
said.
Cyber-Security
The secretary said she’s also focusing on increasing communication
between the federal government and the private sector on boosting
security of computer networks.
Leaders in financial security discussed with her today ways to protect
the financial system from cyber-terrorism or other attacks, Napolitano
said.
“The financial institutions of this country are part of our bedrock
infrastructure,” she said. “They need to be protected. We need to be
able to protect them.”
They discussed companies’ needs, barriers they are confronting and
international threats, she said. Napolitano declined to name the
people she met with, saying she didn’t have a list.
The U.S. is concerned about the use of computer systems to commit
fraud or interfere with infrastructure, she said.
Computer Threats
She said financial leaders want to receive “actionable intelligence.”
Larger banks and brokerages have “a pretty robust information-sharing
system amongst them” about cyber- security, she said.
“We want to make sure that medium-, small-size local financial
institutions are properly looped in and that they have a point of
contact in the Department of Homeland Security either to report
intrusions or prevent intrusions,” she said.
On another issue, Napolitano said she expected many U.S. residents to
be vaccinated against the swine flu, also known as H1N1, once the
vaccine becomes widely available.
The first doses of swine flu vaccine were given to health- care
workers and children last week, and about 6.8 million doses are
available to be shipped. This influenza strain and the seasonal flu
require separate shots, which can be taken at the same time. The
Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the
swine flu is widespread in 37 states.
The H1NI vaccine “is a very safe vaccine,” Napolitano said. “We can
prevent a lot of illness and perhaps death, the more people we can
vaccinate.”
Getting Shots
The secretary said she’s concerned about polls that show many
Americans won’t be getting a swine flu shot.
“This is something where getting the vaccine is so much the better”
than not, she said. “We need to keep pumping out that information.”
Three studies published today found that the swine flu caused
respiratory problems in otherwise-healthy young patients, a pattern
similar to the 1918 flu that killed millions of people.
Swine flu has killed about 4,500 people worldwide, including more than
600 in the U.S., the World Health Organization reported last week.
