The “Fort Dix Six”

All WUFYS readers smelled bullsh*t when the FBI arrested those six Muslims in Mt Laurel NJ on May 8.

I'll get to that issue in a moment, but first, consider this...

In the first eight months of 2006, the Justice Department prosecuted 46 international terrorism cases--but declined to bring charges in 209 other cases that the FBI or other agencies had referred, citing a lack of evidence.

In nearly 6,500 cases treated as "terrorism" investigations by the Justice Department since 9-11, only about one in five defendants have been convicted.

The average sentence for people convicted in "international terrorism" cases is just 20 to 28 days. Many receive no jail time at all, since most of these cases involve lesser charges like immigration violations or fraud.

PROSECUTIONS THAT THE GOVERNMENT LABELS AS BEING ABOUT "TERRORISM" ARE ALMOST NEVER ABOUT TERRORISM.

If a person appears to be Muslim, any conviction for immigration violations, marriage fraud, or drug trafficking is counted as "terrorism convictions" by the Justice Department.

Since 9/11, all U.S. attorneys have been under pressure to bring terrorism prosecutions -- any prosecutions -- so politicians can call press conferences to announce glorious terrorism charges.

When the victims are dragged into court, there are no actual terrorism charges.

*************************************************************************
Now let's move on to the "Fort Dix Six."

1. The MSM calls the men "Muslim fanatics" and "Jersey jihadists,” but investigators quietly admitted that, "there is little indication that they were devout--or even practicing--Muslims."

2. The government says the men conducted surveillance on Fort Dix, obtained computerized ballistic simulations, and stole a map of Fort Dix from a pizza shop located near the base in order to plan their attack.

However their supposed military-style "training" consisted of trips to a firing range in the Poconos and playing paintball in the woods. The indictment against the men "indicates that the group had no rigorous military training, and did not appear close to being able to pull off an attack."

The indictment concedes that the six men expressed doubt at the thought of obtaining automatic weapons--noting that they are, after all, illegal.

3. The FBI's two paid informants railed against the United States, helped scout out military installations for attack, offered to introduce the men to an arms dealer, and gave them a list of weapons they could procure, including machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades.

Question: how far would the supposed "plot" have gone had the FBI not been there to constantly push it forward?

In November, one of the six men (Tatar) contacted police in Philadelphia and told a sergeant that a man approached him and "pressured him to acquire maps of Fort Dix." Tatar told the sergeant he was worried that "the incident was terrorist-related." !!!!

Do terrorists call police to report possible terrorist activity?

More items for your amusement…

>Last fall, several men of Middle Eastern descent were arrested as terrorists in Ohio and Michigan because they purchased too many cell phones. Charges were quietly dropped, but the MSM had already smeared the men as terrorists.

>Last year, the government arrested seven men in Florida, claiming they planned to blow up Chicago's Sears Tower. The case against the men rests on little more than the fact that they allegedly gave an FBI informant lists of shoe sizes in order to purchase military boots. Even the FBI was forced to admit that the plan was more "aspirational than operational."

>So-called "dirty-bomber" Jose Padilla has spent more than three years in solitary confinement as an “enemy combatant” for allegedly plotting to take part in an al-Qaeda plot to detonate a radioactive bomb inside the U.S.

When the Bush regime at last filed charges against Padilla (November 2005), the indictment made no mention of the dirty bomb plot, or most of the other original charges.

>Former University of South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian continues to rot in prison, despite the fact that a jury acquitted him of the most serious terrorism charges, and deadlocked on several lesser counts.

To end his imprisonment and be reunited with his family, Al-Arian pleaded guilty to a single count of supporting the nonviolent activities of a Palestinian charity. Yet he remains in prison--because federal prosecutors now claim he is a "material witness" to other trumped-up terrorism prosecutions, and want to force him to testify.

Al-Arian has been prosecuted for his belief in Palestinian rights--not for any "terrorism."
