NY, NJ bombing suspect, Ahmad Khan Rahami, a naturalized U.S. citizen of Afghan descent, was wounded and captured wounded in a Police Shootout in Linden, New Jersey.
With the bombing attack in New York, multiple failed bombings in New Jersey and New York, and an ISIS-claimed knife attack in a a Minnesota mall, terrorism and migration issues are once again in the US presidential election spotlight.
Ahmad Khan Rahami, the man suspected in bombings in New York and New Jersey, is now in custody after a shootout with police, sources said.
The shootout happened Monday in Linden, New Jersey. Rahami was shot and was taken to an ambulance in a stretcher with his right shoulder bloodied and bandaged.
Two officers were hit in the shootout with Rahami, the mayor of the nearby city of Elizabeth said. One officer’s vest was struck, and the other was shot in the hand.
Investigators first identified Rahami Sunday afternoon, a senior law enforcement official told CNN Monday. They were able to identify him through a fingerprint, the official said. The cell phone on the pressure cooker device found at the 27th street location in Manhattan also provided some clues, the official added.
The most destructive incident took place Saturday night in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood, where 29 people were injured.
Earlier Saturday, a garbage can exploded near the starting line of a Marine Corps charity run in Seaside Park, New Jersey.
And on Sunday night, a backpack with multiple bombs inside was found in Elizabeth, New Jersey around 9:30 p.m. Sunday in a wastebasket outside a neighborhood pub — about 500 feet from a train trestle, officials said.
It contained up to five devices, Elizabeth Mayor Chris Bollwage said. The two men who found the backpack thought it might contain something valuable, but they alerted police when they saw wires and a pipe on the devices, the mayor said. “The robot that went in to disarm it, cut a wire and it exploded,” Bollwage said.

Terrorism, Migration in US Election Spotlight
With these bombings and bombing attempts, and the Capture of Ahmad Khan Rahami, terrorism threats will move to the center stage of the US election campaign.
Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, told Fox News police were hamstrung in preventing terrorism “because they don’t want to be accused of profiling”. He also tweeted: “Refugees from Syria over 10k plus more coming. Lots young males, poorly vetted.”
Hillary Clinton, Mr Trump’s Democratic rival, reiterated her plan for an “intelligence surge” in remarks to reporters: “I’ve been clear, we’re going after the bad guys and we’re going to get them,” she said: “But we’re not going to go after an entire religion and give ISIS exactly what it wants.”
President Barack Obama, in a press conference shortly before confirmation of Mr Rahami’s arrest, praised law enforcement officials and urged Americans “not to succumb” to the fear terrorists sought to instill.
Andrew Cuomo, the New York governor, suggested there may be an international connection to the attack after saying there was no evidence for such links on the weekend. “Today’s information suggests it may be foreign related, but we’ll see where it goes,” he said.
There was no claim of responsibility for the bombs, but a statement by Isis claiming a knife attack in a Minnesota mall on Saturday added to the sense of jitters.
The terror group’s Amaq news agency said a “soldier of the Islamic State” was behind the attack in the Crossroads Centre mall in St Cloud on Saturday, in which a man wearing a private security uniform stabbed eight people before being shot dead by an off-duty police officer.
Events Help Trump
These events will undoubtedly help Donald Trump.
The average US citizen does not want to accept 10,000 Syrians, with no background checks as president Obama wants.
And Hillary’s pleas for “more intelligence” will play as too weak a response to these attacks.
Mike “Mish” Shedlock
false flag by rouge security apparat. wanting to help Trump ? We should recognize our vast internal vast security forces have plenty of divisions and infighting.
this guy seems a perfect patsy for handlers.
All speculation of course, but worth considering
“All speculation of course, but worth considering”
Indeed, and might I also speculate that this is the type of person that Khizir Khan “helps in the immigration process” through his Washington law office/lobbyist firm? That is, while he continues to mourn the loss of his slain veteran son in combat and berate Trump as he did during the DNC convention.
Unvetted, single males primed for easy radicalization, set to enter the US by the tens of thousands. Possibly more, depending on how successful Khizir Khan is in his lobbying efforts, especially if Hillary wins.
Typical cultural marxist drivel, trying to re-take control of the narrative by misdirecting the debate away from the simple fact that these were yet another radical muslim act of terror.
Leftists and the presstitutes who tried to cover up the event as “dumpster violence” have yet to realize that they are not fooling anyone anymore…
You’re gonna need a bigger tinfoil hat
from: Executive Intellegence Review, Richard Freeman, August 27, 2004.
The concept of igniting man’s creative powers and the upward thrust of the economy is the backbone of the American Intellectual Tradition of Gottfried W. Leibniz and Alexander Hamilton. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt utilized that method, to intentionally produce a trajectory of explosive economic development during 1933-45. During the 1939-44 economic mobilization for World War II, Detroit, already possessed of sizeable industrial capacity, reconverted that capacity with advanced technologies, to produce planes, tanks, etc. Detroit grew into the greatest manufacturing center in the world. Population flooded into the city, living standards rose. After Roosevelt’s death, following the conversion of auto production capabilities back to civilian use, the upward trajectory of Roosevelt’s development methods continued, even with some problems, up through 1963.
The 1963-64 period constituted an inflection point. The Venetian system, the opposite of the American Intellectual Tradition, is based on free trade looting through usurious loan arrangements, raw materials extraction, etc. Today, this system is known as the Anglo-Dutch oligarchical model. This system is based on the conception of man as a beast, to be herded, looted, and then culled.
Following the late 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the Wall Street-City of London financier oligarchy moved to impose a post-industrial society policy upon the United States, the policy of the Anglo-Dutch system. This policy deliberately withered manufacturing, agriculture, and infrastructural production, while building a gigantic speculative bubble, which has sucked more of the life blood out of the underlying physical economy, thus imperiling human existence. As a result, the 1964-2004 trajectory transformed America from a producer society, to a consumer society in imitation of the model of Imperial Rome, based on bread and circuses and the looting of foreign nations through slave-labor.
It’s from that “conspiracist nutcase”, Lyndon LaRouge… Funny how it matches up to history and now.
Um, I dunno know exactly what you’re saying Greg, but I’m pretty sure Mitt Romney and his vulture capitalist cronies at Bain agree with it.
I’m sure they do. In 5 years there probably will be no more independent companies. if you buy a guitar these days, Romney is getting a cut. Fender, Guild, ect, ect, he owns them all.
Here is the reality – IF they are truly “refugees”, they should be housed in Middle Eastern refugee camps, NOT given a “free pass” immigration at a cost to the American taxpayers to this country.
In Hillary’s world there would be no second amendment rights and that off duty police officer would have had to left their weapon at the police station.
In Nazi Germany and in Stalin’s Russia, the government first had to disarm its citizens before it could control them. That’s where Hillary and the other socialist want to take us.
Just read that the Feds erroneously granted citizenship to 800 immigrants with big security concerns. I wonder how much was done by mistake and how much by intention?
The more observations I make the more I believe the enemies within are much more dangerous than the enemies without.
One enemy within can cause tremendous damage to the security of thousands of US citizens.
The domestic terrorist attacks have now demonstrated a consistent pattern that I believe is permanent and will only get worse as those in charge enable those who wish to do us harm.
We are now in a fight with those both within and without. That puts us at a severe disadvantage in the fight for our safety and quality of life.
This article by Robert Kennedy Jr. is the best article I’ve seen on Syria and the Middle East. This is all about oil, oil pipelines. It has nothing to do with helping these countries gain democracy, although that’s what our governments pretend it’s about, that they’re removing dictators. They’re removing dictators, all right, but it’s not to install democracy, but to install puppet leaders who will allow multinational corporations to go in and steal the oil. Most of these now-dead leaders (Hussein, Gaddafi, and others) were U.S. puppets until (as happened with Assad) they said, “Enough, no more.” That’s when they got taken out.

A few days ago, even after a ceasefire was set up by the U.S. and Russia, the U.S. “mistakenly”, they say, killed at least 60 elite Syrian Army soldiers, which ended up assisting ISIS.
“The US attack has killed at least 62 and perhaps as many as 100 Syrian government troops. Earlier today it was reported that the Syrian government had sent some 1,000 members of the elite Republican Guard into the Deir el-Zour province, as battles with ISIS in the area increase. This US attack has wiped out perhaps ten percent of this force and has obliterated Syrian army weapons and other materiel.”
The U.S. said they had coordinated the attack with Russia, but Russia says this is nonsense.
“In fact, spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova was quoted by the state news agency Tass as saying that “after today’s attack on the Syrian army, we come to the terrible conclusion that the White House is defending the Islamic State.” […] Is today’s attack a turning point in the war, where the US will begin to strike Syrian government forces more frequently? If so, how will Russia and Iran react to this overt shift in US strategy? Is this the flashpoint?”

Of course the U.S. backs ISIS, because it wants the oil, and in order to get the oil, it needs ISIS to take Assad out. If the U.S. and its puppets in NATO walked away from this mess, the refugee flow would stop. But they won’t back down, and so the refugees will keep coming. The U.S. and Europe will continue to take the refugees (pretending it’s for humanitarian reasons) in order to break Assad, continue the war.
And who wants to give aid and comfort to those enemies within! Hitlary!
LMAO!
By the way, are we, possibly, …on the verge of a landslide?
Might it be that everybody is going over to the Donald? No, they’re not going to say so, (at least not to Nate Silver) but the small money is beginning to talk :

That part of NJ is an armpit area. Older Italian neighborhoods, lots of Portuguese and South Americans, e.g. Honduras. Close to the refineries, the outdated Route 1/9, the turnpike. Pollution remnants of the petrochemical industry. Not a place you’d choose to live if you have a choice. Good pizza, though.
“Good pizza, though.”
F**K yeah!

Ask obama about all this crap. It’s all by design. Cull the American citizen.
“… I believe the enemies within are much more dangerous than the enemies without. ”
Absolutely. Especially our Zioglobalist disloyal-to-America political non-elected bureaucracy and “think tanks” and their minion elected politicians.
Agreed. The “enemies without” pale in comparison.
Whenever the U.S. and their puppets are losing, they call for a ceasefire, which of course just allows ISIS to regroup and gain territory.

So person whose been in the US for decades decides to go rogue and plant bombs. In less than 24 hours he is identified and arrested.
Flash back in time. Person in the US since birth goes rogue after listening to voices in his head. Spends decades mailing bombs to science professors, gets major newspaper to publish his manifesto because the FBI has no idea how to catch him. Finally the man’s brother recognizes the rhetoric and the ‘unabomber’ is finally caught.
For some reason America isn’t great now but was back then.
Of course, if the war was ended in Syria, if the U.S. and its puppets stopped backing and funding ISIS, the refugee flow would stop. But the U.S. don’t want to stop the war (they want Assad gone), and so the U.S. and Europe will continue to take in refugees (under the guise of being humanitarian and kind). They’re just trying to break Assad.

Helps Trump = Yes
Can be linked directly to presidential half-breed and his lackey former secretary of chaos.
Trump campaign should be able to press the EASY button on this one. Not even the co-opted US-Zio-Media will be able to spin this in the Pig’s favor….but they’ll try.
All this so bankers can keep confiscating food from poor Syrians.
I’m sensing a bullshit story her. I don’t know how it’s bullshit, but I’m sensing bullshit just the same.
As to why it’s bullshit? Well, we’ve all been lied to so often, and lately in so sloppy* a fashion, that if you’re a thinking person, you can’t help but automatically to conclude that the narrative being offered up is false somehow.
I’m waiting for the real fact to make themselves apparent.
Just a thought.
VicB3
*One of the things that you notice, learn, about psychopaths is that they get sloppy and careless with time. That’s how they end up getting caught ultimately.
A pressure cooker is a kiddie version of a bomb. No real terrorist would use one.
And by “real terrorist” I mean one not affiliated with shadow govt.
But it does bring back memories of the recent “Boston Bombing” sheep herding event. That’s probably a major reason they recycled the pressure cooker.
Only 10,000? Bunch of sissies! Australia’s taking 12,000 maybe more if the UN tells us to. Aussies are totally delighted, can’t wait to welcome the ‘new chums’ who will soon assimilate into the no go suburbs of south west Sydney.
No surprise that the drive-by media is trying to downplay any association between this terrorist and larger terrorist groups. I’ve heard him described as a “lone wolf” or a “home-grown terrorist”.
They say these things without knowing jack about this man’s history.
Of course the reason the media makes these carefully scripted statements to avoid attributing any credibility to Donald Trump and his call to root out the terrorist organizations that cause harm to the interests of our country.
The mainstream media has been assigned to throw the election in favor of Hillary by carefully filtering the news and emphasizing only what is beneficial to their agenda or cause.
Full disclosure? ha. That died with the rotary dial phone!
Of course, if it’s too soon to know the facts you’re allowed to just make them up yourself. In fact even if the facts are known you’re still allowed to make them up. Welcome to Trumpland.
Umm… Mish, it’s not 10,000 anymore. He wants to bring in 110,000 from… everywhere. http://www.wsj.com/articles/president-obama-to-increase-refugees-admitted-to-u-s-by-30-1473818352
Perhaps you or some readers can help me out. When I read the Constitution, I don’t see anything about the President deciding how many immigrants or refugees are admitted. I see Article I, Section 9:
The migration or importation of such persons as any of the states now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each person.
It sounds an awful lot like the states get to decide who immigrates, not the President. It also sounds like Congress can prohibit migration or importation after 1808.
You can search Article II regarding Presidential powers as much as you want, there’s nothing in there about the President deciding anything about immigration. In fact, Article II, Section 3 charges the President to faithfully enforce the laws passed by Congress: “he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed…” So if Congress passed laws regarding the proper immigration procedure, the President is supposed to enforce those laws and prohibit immigration above the approximately 1 million people lawfully allowed into the US each year after proper vetting for criminal record, disease, etc. It really is that simple except for one small problem.
Millions of Hillary supporters see no reason to follow any of the laws of the Union. Not for her, not for immigrants, not for anyone. This is a huge problem.
The government won’t outlaw pressure cookers, but they will outlaw guns.
