ISIS Propaganda Poster Depicts Drone Delivering Package Over NYC

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. ISIS has circulated a threatening propaganda poster depicting a mocked-up photo of a drone delivering a package and hovering over New York City, the Daily Mail reported.

The drone in the photo is transporting a box with the words “Private Mailbox” written on it. And above the Manhattan skyline are the words, “Sender: The Islamic State.”

Multiple smaller photos featuring previous attacks claimed by the terrorist group are lined across the bottom of the poster.

The poster comes as drone chaos at London’s Gatwick Airport has forced one of the United Kingdom’s busiest airports to halt flights for the second time since Wednesday.

. . .

On Wednesday night, authorities shut down all flights at about 9 p.m. after drones were spotted buzzing the airspace over the airport, according to reports. (Read more from “ISIS Propaganda Poster Depicts Drone Delivering Package Over NYC” HERE)

‘Sender: The Islamic State’: ISIS Uses a Poster Featuring a Drone Over New York to Threaten the West With Attacks in Wake of Gatwick Airport Chaos

By Daily Mail. ISIS fanatics have used a poster featuring a drone over New York City to threaten the West with attacks in the wake of the chaos at Gatwick airport.

The mocked-up propaganda picture shows a drone hovering over the US city carrying a parcel saying: ‘private mailbox’.

In a separate caption, extremists have written: ‘Sender: The Islamic State’ while there are also pictures of previous atrocities claimed by the terror group.

It emerged as Gatwick finally re-opened its runway today after the Army deployed weapons to knock drones out of the sky.

The motivation of the drone operator, or operators, was unclear. Police said there was nothing to suggest the crippling of one of Europe’s busiest airports was a terrorist attack.

Obama Volunteer Arrested for Vandalizing NYC Synagogue

/0 Comments/in , /by

The New York City Police Department arrested a Democratic activist on Friday night for allegedly vandalizing a synagogue in New York City with vile anti-Semitic messages. This comes just days after 11 people were murdered at a Pittsburgh synagogue in what was the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in U.S. history.

Authorities arrested 26-year-old James Polite, a former volunteer on Obama’s first presidential campaign, for allegedly vandalizing Brooklyn’s Union Temple on Thursday with anti-Semitic messages that included “die Jew rats we are here,” “Jews better be ready,” and “Hitler.”

Polite interned with Christine C. Quinn, the former Democratic Speaker of the New York City Council, for several years and worked “on initiatives to combat hate crime[s],” The New York Times reported in 2017. . .

Polite also “posted a cell-phone picture of a burning American flag, with the caption ‘Sometimes things take a lil heat to grow,'” the DCNF’s report added. “Police suspect him of setting fires at ‘seven shuls and yeshivas in Williamsburg’ that same night, before the temple vandalism. Security footage captured that, too.”

A report this week from The New York Times revealed that “contrary to what are surely the prevailing assumptions, anti-Semitic incidents have constituted half of all hate crimes in New York this year, according to the Police Department. To put that figure in context, there have been four times as many crimes motivated by bias against Jews — 142 in all — as there have against blacks. Hate crimes against Jews have outnumbered hate crimes targeted at transgender people by a factor of 20.” (Read more from “Obama Volunteer Arrested for Vandalizing NYC Synagogue” HERE)

Doctor’s Rampage Leaves 1 Dead, 6 Wounded at NYC Hospital

/0 Comments/in , /by

The 45-year-old man who shot seven people at a Bronx hospital was a former doctor at the hospital, police said Friday.

Henry Bello killed one female doctor at Bronx-Lebanon Hospital and wounded six other people, police said, before killing himself. Bello wore a white lab coat as he went from floor to floor.

Police said Bello first tried to set himself on fire but that hospital sprinklers put out the fire. Police Commissioner James O’Neill said Bello then used the gun he had used to shoot his victims on himself.

Some reports said Bello had been fired from the hospital two years ago and had vowed revenge

The shooting began just before 3 p.m., and involved shots being fired on multiple floors of the hospital. O’Neill said five of the six people wounded on the 16th floor were in serious condition with gunshot wounds.

One wounded doctor was being assisted by staff who used an emergency fire hose as a tourniquet, a fire department official said.

The shooting resulted in the hospital being placed on lockdown.

“Everybody said ‘Code red, shut the door, don’t come out of your room,’” a patient who gave his name as Toby told CBS. “Well we got scared, we didn’t know what was going on. They said somebody in the hospital had a rifle. I just heard people screaming and I got scared and they said close your bedroom door and don’t come out of your room. So I closed the door and didn’t come out of my room. My arm is swollen but I pushed the chair to the door so nobody could come in.”

Krystal Rivera, a 23-year-old patient, said she heard the shots.

“I barricaded the door with an IV machine, two chairs and my whole bed,” Rivera said.

“I was in the middle of getting an X-ray when security alerted us to the active shooter situation and locked us in,” recalled patient Felix Puno, who was on the fourth floor.

The police responded in force to the situation.

“I just seen a bunch of cops come in through the back, through the front with their pistols drawn, (screaming), ‘This guy’s a threat’ … I thought something bad was about to happen. They were telling us to evacuate and go back. They said he was a threat and he might start shooting out the windows,” said Carlos Rodriguez, 19, who was outside the hospital.

Crying Newborn Found in NYC Church Nativity Scene

/2 Comments/in , /by

A wailing newborn baby was found with his umbilical cord attached inside a nativity scene at a Queens church, police say.

The baby was discovered by a maintenance worker at the Holy Child Jesus Catholic Church in Richmond Hill Monday at about noon, according to the New York Police Department . . .

The Rev. Christopher Ryan Heanue told NBC 4 New York the worker was cleaning inside the church when he heard the baby crying inside the nativity scene, which had been set up earlier than usual this year . . .

Inside Baby Jesus’ spot in the manger was a newborn, a few hours old at most, Heanue estimated. Bishop Octavio Cisnero, also there, couldn’t believe his eyes . . .

The church is considered a Safe Haven under state law, which allows a parent to safely leave a newborn baby up to 30 days of age anonymously and without fear of prosecution at suitable locations, like at hospitals, firehouses or police stations. But the law also requires the child to be left with an appropriate person or for someone to be contacted right away. (Read more from “Crying Newborn Found in NYC Church Nativity Scene” HERE)

NYC to Let the UN Run Its Police Force

/3 Comments/in , /by

American tradition, values and mores continue to erode thanks to constant pressure by the political left to destroy a culture they see as illegitimate and dangerous to the globe — despite our nation’s appeal to millions around the world and the opportunities we create for ourselves and for others.

Now, the liberals who run New York City are even prepared to cede at least some policing power to “a new global, terror-busting network to try to combat homegrown extremism,” according to a September 29 press statement, The New American reports.

In an announcement made at the United Nations, avowed socialist Mayor Bill DeBlasio declared New York City’s intent to join the UN and the United States Department of Justice in their bid to combat “all forms of violent extremism, whether it’s based in religious, or racial, or nationalistic or ideological intolerance.”

With this, de Blasio has effectively ruled that American patriotism is an “intolerance” he won’t tolerate. Save for 9/11, however, when was the last time we’ve seen a major act of “extremism” in New York City (that hasn’t come from the mayor himself), anyway?

As The New American further reported, the Obama Justice Department is claiming that this new law enforcement partnership program — dubbed “Strong Cities” — is really aimed at inspiring “action on a global scale.” (Read more from “NYC to Let the UN Run Its Police Force” HERE)

Legal Experts: NYC Mayor Action Against Trump ‘Not the American Way’

/4 Comments/in , /by

Civil liberty advocates are jumping all over New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s order to “review” all of Donald Trump’s city contracts because of his recent comments on Mexican immigrants.

“This is not the American Way,” observed Alan Dershowitz, Harvard’s most distinguished civil liberties law professor, about the chilling effect de Blasio’s action could have on freedom of speech . . .

At his presidential campaign kickoff, Trump said immigrants from Mexico are “bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists, and some, I assume, are good people” . . .

“The city says, ‘We don’t want to renew it because we don’t like your speech.’ That would presumptively violate the First Amendment,” noted UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh in a DCNF interview. “The statement by the Mayor is a real danger to public debate,” he said, charging it would set dubious precedent for all city contractors, big and small.

The law professor, who also posts the “Volokh Conspiracy” blog on the Washington Post, explained that the First Amendment rights for government contractors were long ago resolved in the Umbehr case. In a 7 to 2 majority written by former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor’s, the court declared that the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of speech shielded government contractors from facing the revocation of existing contracts due to things they said in public.

Prison Worker Gave NYC Killers Blades, Chisels Before Escape [+videos]

/1 Comment/in , /by

A New York prison worker charged with aiding in the escape of two convicted killers allegedly brought hacksaw blades, chisels, a punch and a screwdriver bit into the prison weeks before the men made their brazen escape, according court documents.

Joyce Mitchell, 51, was arrested by state police Friday and charged with a felony count of promoting prison contraband and a misdemeanor count of criminal facilitation. She pleaded not guilty at her arraignment Friday night. She faces up to seven years in prison if convicted of the top charge.

Police say Mitchell brought contraband into the upstate Clinton Correctional Facility, and that helped convicted murderers David Sweat and Richard Matt break out of prison in the early morning hours of June 6. They remained at large Friday.

“This is one large piece of the puzzle in the quest to find the escaped murderers,” New York State Police Maj. Charles Guess told reporters during a news conference Friday night . . .

Sweat and Matt escaped nearly a week ago from maximum-security Clinton Correctional Facility in the town of Dannemora, sawing out of their cells with power tools before clambering through the works of the building and out through a manhole.

‘Killing Jews Is Worship’ Posters Will Soon Appear on NYC Subways and Buses

/90 Comments/in , /by

download (5)New Yorkers are used to aggressive advertising. Banners for breast implants. Billboards for condoms. But a federal judge’s ruling has opened the door for far more controversial posters on buses and subways across the city.

“Killing Jews is Worship that draws us close to Allah,” reads one such ad next to the image of a young man in a checkered headscarf. “That’s His Jihad. What’s yours?”

The poster is at the center of heated legal debate over public safety and free speech. On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge John Koeltl ruled that New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) cannot stop the controversial ad from running on scores of subway cars and buses.

The MTA has argued that the ad could incite violence against Jews, but Koeltl rejected that idea.

MTA officials “underestimate the tolerant quality of New Yorkers and overestimate the potential impact of these fleeting advertisements,” he ruled. “Moreover, there is no evidence that seeing one of these advertisements on the back of a bus would be sufficient to trigger a violent reaction. Therefore, these ads — offensive as they may be — are still entitled to First Amendment protection.” (Read more from “‘Killing Jews Is Worship’ Posters Will Soon Appear on NYC Subways and Buses” HERE)

The Islamization of America: Muslim Holidays Are Now NYC Public School Holidays

/15 Comments/in , /by

By CBS New York. New York City public schools have added two Muslim holidays to the school calendar, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina announced Wednesday.

Schools will now close for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, making New York City the largest school district in the nation to recognize the two holidays on the official school calendar.

The announcement was made at PS/IS 30 in Brooklyn, where officials said 36 percent of students were absent the last time Eid al-Adha fell on a school day.

“We’re here today to make good on a promise to our Muslim brothers and sisters that a holiday of supreme importance to the Muslim community will be recognized in our school calendar so that children can honor the holiday without missing school,” the mayor said.

“I want to thank Mayor de Blasio for adding Eid-al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr to the public school holiday calendar,” said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr. “Islam is one of the largest religions in the world, and the Muslim community is thriving not just in The Bronx but throughout the city of New York. This decision allows our city’s Muslim community to fully practice their faith without it interfering with their school attendance and education. As I have said in the past, by recognizing these two important holidays, we show that not only are we welcoming to everyone’s religious beliefs but that we respect everyone’s Constitutional right to freedom of religion.” (Read more about the Islamization of America HERE)

Muslim Man GUILTY of Trying to Murder Hundreds in New York City Subway Bombing Attempt

By Robert Spencer. A Pakistani man was found guilty Wednesday in a failed al-Qaida bomb plot after a New York trial that featured spies in disguise, evidence from the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound and the defendant’s questioning of an admitted co-conspirator.

The jury convicted Abid Naseer in federal court in Brooklyn after deliberating since Tuesday morning. His court-appointed legal adviser said there would be an appeal but declined further comment.

Naseer, 28, was first arrested in 2009 in Great Britain on charges he was part of a terror cell plotting to blow up a shopping mall in Manchester, England. The charges were dropped after a British court found there wasn’t enough evidence, but U.S. prosecutors later named him in an indictment alleging a broader conspiracy that included a failed plot to attack the New York City subway.

After his rearrest and extradition to the United States in 2013, Naseer pleaded not guilty to conspiracy and providing support to al-Qaida.

He acted as his own lawyer, often referring to himself in the third person as he set about portraying himself as a moderate Muslim who was falsely accused. He was assisted by defense attorney James Neuman but largely spoke for himself and demonstrated a calm demeanor in court that never wavered, even when the guilty verdict was read.

Tranny Insanity: NYC Birth Certificates Asking the Unthinkable

/3 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: ShutterstockA city Health Department form for new parents requesting birth certificates asks the “woman giving birth” if she’s male or female.

Along with routine questions — mother’s maiden name, mother’s legal name, mother’s Social Security number — is a gender question that has raised a few eyebrows.

And just in case the inquiry is not clear, the birth-certificate request provides a convenient check box and asks the question in capital letters. “What is your DATE OF BIRTH, current AGE and SEX?” the form asks in the section clearly marked “Mother/Parent (Woman Giving Birth).”

“To be clear, it is possible for a person who has given birth to a child to identify as male,” said Susan Sommer, a lawyer for Lambda Legal, an advocacy group for lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender people.

Sommer said that given various transgender stages, there is room for the person who gives birth to check the male box. (Read more about the idiotic NYC birth certificates HERE)
