New Threat Detection Technology Could Prevent Next Boston Bombing
Sounds like a sales spiel but who knows? No harm in back testing

#1  Technically, RCAS analyzes otherwise undetectable movements and micro-fluctuations in space in comparison to the displayed vestibular reflexes. Since the 'human system' is balanced reflexively, not by conscious movement, it can be likened to a balanced thermodynamic system. A certain portion of the internal energy, which changes the balance within this system, is expended for physical movements and fluctuations. Each human psycho-physiological condition is characterized by a certain power consumption, which is transformed to micro-movements. The parameters of the micro-movements for a stable psycho-physiological condition of a person are stable in time. Thus, parameters of micro-movements change only after a person's psycho-physiological condition changes.

Just the ticket for Skynet.

Lessons From The FBI's Most-Wanted-Terrorist List
by Daniel Pipes

The FBI's list of "Ten Most Wanted" fugitives dates back to 1950, but the list of "Most Wanted Terrorists" began just after 9/11. Today, the list includes 31 individuals, all of them male and, with a single exception (Daniel Andreas San Diego, an animal-rights extremist), all of them Muslim.

Muslims make up 30 out of 31 most wanted terrorists, or about 97 percent of them. That's a pretty good indication of the insight contained in Bernard Lewis's 1990 article famously called "Muslim rage," and of why Islam-related issues have such prominence.

#1  Another lesson learned is one can crowd-source reliable tracking information after a horrific event, lockdown a city, and within a few days kill or capture the terrorist(s) with participation from citizens.
More such successes might make the FBI and law enforcement in general more believe-able.
Apparently these 31 clowns aren't high priority targets.

#2  Yet the FBI training manual has been scrubbed of all references to islamic jihad or terrorism.

#3  If only the Boston bombers had not been so deviously clandestine and the FBI had received a tip or two.

This is hard stuff.

#2  You are of no concern to liberals in power.

Priority to the liberal is thier control of your resources. Anything that they can conive or use a wedge to gain access to your resources by controling you is alpha and omega. Spreading a false fear that you are screwing up nature but THEY have the fix ("carbon taxing you or your work place") is thier gypsy snake oil of today.

#3  That is the stupidest comparison I have ever wasted my time reading.

The al Qaeda Franchise Threat
[WSJ] Reports of the terrorist group's imminent defeat are greatly exaggerated.

Even as the U.S. has "decimated" (the President's word) al Qaeda's senior leadership--killing or capturing 13 of the top 20 most wanted terrorists--it pops up in new locales and forms. In recent months, al Qaeda has revived or started terrorist franchises in Iraq and Syria, across northern Africa and in Nigeria. It lost a haven in Afghanistan but set up bases in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. It has nimbly exploited opportunities and is more active and in more places, points out Rand analyst Bruce Hoffman, than on September 11, 2001.

Fitnah Targets Islam; 'Ready to Cause Affliction'
"It's our era; our time to shine," says Maryam Namazie in this interview. "It is we who are now on the offensive. Fitnah is a warning to Islamists: It will be our women's liberation movement that will bring it to its knees."

#2  Let's see if Fitnah can convince the many pro Jihad feminists in the US to see the light.
