The government is gonna vet the refugees. What could go wrong?

So…you take an American born guy of Pakistani parentage and hook him up through a Muslim dating website with a Jihadi chick from Pakistan,  hiding place of Osama bin Laden and half of Al Qaeda, who was radicalized in a known extremist mosque and posts all kinds of pro-ISIS and jihadi puke on her Facebook page all day (oh, wait, now the FBI is taking that back so as not to alert everyone that they can get into your precious Facebook account)….and then he goes to the Capital of Islam, Saudi Arabia, home of 15 of 19 of the 9/11 hijackers, and brings her back to the Good Old U.S. of A. on a K-1 Fiancée Visa. What could go wrong?

 I mean, the government vetted her, right? They did a background check on this Pakistani citizen coming here from Saudi Arabia to marry an American in a marriage arranged on the Internet, didn’t they? If I’m to believe all the Hollywood rom-com films and sitcoms, the Immigration Forces of Goodness and Light practically waterboard you under a single flickering light bulb in a dank interrogation cell to make sure your marriage is legit before letting a green card holder stay in the country as the spouse of a natural-born citizen. They wanna make sure your stories corroborate as to how well you know each other, where you met, your shared goals and dreams and future plans, etc to show y’all are really In Love Fo-Evahhh….especially if you’re from a bordering allied country like Canada that doesn’t routinely car-bomb and behead our citizenry (see the plot of The Proposal, with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. Scored a 44% at Rotten Tomatoes.). 

Oh, wait, this is Obamaland, where we simply cannot ever, for any reason, give even the slightest offense to Mother Islam and the Holy Koran. I mean, even NASA has orders from Obama to give up space flight and instead concentrate on making Muslims feel good about their wondrous contributions to making bombs that look like clocks science and mathematics. Therefore, we sure as hell can’t vet them under close scrutiny, especially not when we’re trying to flood the nation with 100,000 of them escaping Syria with who-knows-what hidden amongst them as sleeper cell agents.

We’re supposed to be running some kind of Obama-inspired Jobs for Jihadis Program because all they really want are jobs and not the destruction of America and Israel…they’ll be all nice and peaceful once they have jobs, right? I mean, our California Boy had a nice government job pulling in some $51K a year as a health inspector (hey, don’t those jobs have background checks too?) and he was all peaceful, with his new wife bundled up like a walking linen closet at home like a good submissive follower of The Religion of Peace, taking care of their new little Blessing from Allah with help from his mom. Factor in his benefits package and he was pulling in closer to $70K a year. Dude was allowed to leave work in the middle of the day for prayer. Most of us catch grief from our boss if we take too many piss breaks. 

So yeah, what could go wrong, other than two Jihadniks pulling some $28,000 in bank deposits together from a loan through an Internet-based bank and getting a useful idiot of a neighbor to buy them a couple AR-platform sporting rifles while they bought a couple handguns in a heavily gun-controlled state with TONS of stringent gun laws, and in their spare time making dozens of professional-caliber pipe bombs and booby traps….Move along, nothing to see here. Neighbors suspected something was up but in Obeezy’s Caliphate you can’t say anything about The Prophet’s Faithful so the neighbors were too shit-scared to speak up. His own co-workers noticed homeboy was growing out his beard and wearing the Happy Pancake hat (a health inspector with a fluffy Jihadi beard? Nobody said anything? Of course not…just ask him nicely to tuck it into a gauzy beard net and let’s don’t rock the boat.)

What could go wrong, other than these two assclowns strapping on surplus mil-spec body armor and taking a rented SUV to his office Christmas party and mowing down everyone in sight? They killed 14 people and wounded a further 22. Had their pipe bombs worked, there would have been a lot more casualties. And then several hours later, they get their Aloha Snackbar moment of glory and get their asses ventilated like block of Swiss cheese when the local constabulary opens up with righteous hellfire and brimstone on their asses.

Dear Terrorists: This is what awaits you. Suck it.

 

And, as expected, right on cue, more calls for gun control, because, well, MORE LAWS!!!! Because the strictest gun laws in the country didn’t keep criminals from being criminals, kinda like in Chicago. Oh, wait, these two shitcrickets were also making pipe bombs in the house too….is anyone calling for the banning of pipes? Noted scumbag Timothy McVeigh used fertilizer mixed with racing fuel to make a truck bomb that killed 168 people, including 19 kids under the age of six, and injured another 680... You can still buy bags of shit at Tractor Supply, racing fuel hasn’t been outlawed, and I passed about 150 to 200 box trucks today. 

But yeah, we’re supposed to be welcoming all these Syrian refugees in with open arms with a guarantee from The Feral Gubmint that they’ve all had a vetting background check (despite the fact they have no way of actually doing it) and we’re all Bad Humans if we even hint that there might be some ne’r-do-well types intermingled amongst them. I, however, don’t exactly trust the government at their word on this. The FBI has openly admitted they have no way to vet incoming refugees and the White House is happy to just outsource it to the United Nations Refugee Agency. Sure, a circus of idiots that owes the City of New York over $16 million in unpaid parking tickets and dropped $23 million a few years ago to paint a mural on the ceiling, paid in part with overseas development aid money, and the same UN that gave itself a $1.9 billion renovation in New York and was looking at a billion dollar facelift to its Geneva offices. But I digress. Welcome, refujihadis….

They In Power won’t even look into the social media posts of visa applicants. Seems that there’s a secret U.S. policy that prohibits immigration officials from reviewing the social media messages of foreign citizens applying for U.S. visas that has reportedly been kept in place over fears of a civil liberties backlash and “bad public relations.” Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson refused in early 2014 to end the policy, even though several other officials in the organization pressed for such a policy change, according to former undersecretary John Cohen, who pushed for a change in the policy.

The Right is lambasted by The Left for suggesting that we not open the doors and herd them all in. Trump is being compared to Hitler for wanting to temporarily halt the immigration of Muslims until we can get a system in place to properly vet them.

The Left seems to forget that Hero of the Democrat Party Comrade Franklin D. Roosevelt rounded up Americans of Japanese, German, and Italian extraction and put them in Internment Camps, a polite term for concentration camps without ovens but still surrounded by razor wire and armed guards with belt-fed automatic weapons. 

But Steve, you silly dumb Conservative bastard…Comrade Rooseveltski was AT WAR and had to do what he did to protect The Motherland…..

Are we not at war with ISIS and Al Qaeda and are we not awarding our troops medals connected to a Global War on Terror? Did not six brave American airmen just give their lives for their country as a suicide bomber detonated himself next to their patrol in Afghanistan a couple days ago, just days before Christmas?

And that other Hero of the Left, The Obama of the 70’s, Comrade Jimmy Carter, did he not block the entry of Iranians to the country during the Hostage Crisis? 

But Steve, Comrade Jimmy was a Democrat and we do what we want when we want. 

Exactly, you Leftist Scumbags.

Look, for the record, I’m not excoriating all American Muslims. I know there’s plenty of good ones out there, good Americans who don’t bother anyone, who live like good, solid American citizens in peace with their neighbors. A lot of good Americans who practice Islam have given their lives in military service to this nation in this war against terror and Radical Islam. They were Americans first and didn’t let religious commonality with our enemies dissuade them, and as a former soldier I salute them and their bravery.  The brother of our SoCal Jihadi is an honorably discharged veteran of the United States Navy who served in the Global War on Terror. So yeah, one guy stays a good American and the other went bad. I definitely do worry about non-American Muslims who don’t ascribe to the western way of life in the Land of the Free, or whatever is left of it after The Left is done with it.

Somebody once asked a guy who had spent 20 years working in Saudi Arabia among die-hard Islamists the question “Can a Muslim be a good American?” The following is his reply:

Theologically - no, because his allegiance is to Allah.

Religiously - no, because no other religion is accepted by His Allah except Islam (Koran 2:256).

Scripturally - no, because his allegiance is to the Five Pillars of Islam and the Koran.

Geographically - no, because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.

Socially - no, because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.

Politically - no, because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders) who teach the annihilation of Israel and the destruction of America, the great Satan.

Domestically - no, because he is instructed to marry four women and beat his wife when she disobeys him (Koran 4:34).

We won’t even go into the Afghan practice of Bacha bazi, or screwing young boys. (although it goes against Sharia Law, they live by the adage that “Women are for babies, boys are for pleasure.”)

Intellectually - no, because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Christian Biblical principles and he believes the Christian Bible to be corrupt.

Philosophically - no, because Islam, Muhammad, and the Koran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either a dictatorial or autocratic theocracy despite outward trappings of Western democracy.

Spiritually - no, because when we declare “one nation under God”,” and “In God we trust”, we are referring to the Christian God and not Allah.

Therefore, perhaps we should be very suspicious of any and all Muslims trying to enter into this country from without... They struggle at being both 'good' Muslims and good Americans; they cannot and will not integrate into the great melting pot of America easily and willingly without great effort and thorough vetting to weed out the radicals.

This religious-based war is bigger than we know or understand. Muslims everywhere have said they will destroy us from within and are actively seeking to radicalize our American Muslims, especially prion converts to Islam, who by and large are violent criminals and . And simply asking them to play nice and get along is dangerous, because you can’t exactly trust them at their word.

Oh, Steve, you horrible racist man!!!! How can you say such things? 

Well, for starters, Islam is a religion, not a race. So STFU. And secondly, it is part of the core of Islam to deceive and outright lie to those who do not practice Islam.

Get familiar with these terms:

al-Taqiyya/ Taqiyya -

Deception; the Islamic word for concealing or disguising one’s beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies.

Kitman - Lying by omission. An example would be when Muslim apologists quote only a fragment of verse 5:32 (that if anyone kills "it shall be as if he had killed all mankind") while neglecting to mention that the rest of the verse (and the next) mandate murder in undefined cases of "corruption" and "mischief." Muslims lie not because they are liars by nature, but by choice. Systematic lying as a religious policy is deadly, and if our politicians do not understand this, thousands could die.

Prayers for Kafirs -

Since over half of Islamic doctrine is about Kafirs (non-Muslims), it follows that prayers would include Kafirs too, so every day, a Muslim prays for the punishment and suffering of all Kafirs. The prayers also follow the Koranic doctrine that Muslims are not to be a true friend of them. Muslims are to forsake and turn away from Kafirs. Not only are all Kafirs to suffer punishment in Hell, but Christians and Jews are singled out to be worthy of Allah’s anger and are condemned in their beliefs. In the end, all references to Kafirs in Islamic prayer are negative, demeaning and hateful.

They have no problem lying to and deceiving those who are Infidels in their eyes. It’s expected that they do so. Waging war against the Infidel is part and parcel and death is a reward. Read more about the lying here. Read more about jihadi martyrdom here. 

So when the snake says it is cold and promises not to bite you if you would just put it inside your shirt to warm it, don’t be surprised when it buries its fangs in your flesh. You knew what it was when you picked it up.

After all…what can go wrong?

Aloha Snackbar!

Y'know, I kinda told you so...

No one likes to hear a snarky snide "I told you so" from anyone, be it your spouse, your parent, your sibling, your child, your co-worker, or some smartass blogger. However......I kinda did tell y'all so.

Back in March when Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 went AWOL, I immediately hypothesized that the plane was stolen for later use by terrorists. Missed it? Read all about it. I then gave you my hypothetical list of targets based upon my humble professional estimation.

Now we get word recently that when Islamist scumbag ne'er do wells took over the Tripoli Airport as Libya circles the drain into an ISIS-like abyss, in addition to destroying a large number of planes on the ground, eleven or twelve jetliners from two Libya are missing. Yeah, missing. As in, nobody knows where the Farouk they are. We're talking about some of the most widely-used and ubiquitous airliners worldwide, the type that BLEND IN and don't get noticed until they HIT THINGS AND EXPLODE.

A lot of planes on the ground were destroyed because Islam can't have nice things.

Doing the Happy Dance on top of a captured Libyan Airlines jet. They look stable and peaceful...

The state-owned Libyan Airlines fleet included up 20 jets, including eight Airbus 320s, two Airbus 330s and eight Bombardier CJR-900s. Also state-owned, the Afriqiyah Airways fleet includes three Airbus 319s, seven Airbus 320s, two Airbus 330s, and one Airbus 340. The 319/320's and CJR-900's are relatively shorter-range jets but the 330's and the 4-engine 340 are definitely larger long-haul planes capable of trans-Atlantic flights. That's bothersome, since Thursday is the anniversary of 9/11.

Seriously. Think about it. Don't roll your eyes and call me a Tinfoil Hat whack-job. ISIS likes to behead people on TV. You don't think they'd like to do something major to us this week?

And you may also recall that in July I warned everyone that this stream of underage Third-World disease vectors flooding across our borders like a plague of locusts with the express permission of the White House could be very bad ju-ju. And today we get word that, SURPRISE!!!!!, hundreds of children across America have been sickened in recent weeks by what health officials suspect is a rare respiratory virus.

The CDC believes that Human Enterovirus 68, part of the virus family that includes polio and the common cold rhinovirus, is at the root of the epidemic, though testing of samples has not produced a definitive answer. Normally a bowel affliction, the virus is now affecting the respiratory system.

The Denver Post reported that officials at Children's Hospital Colorado have treated more than 900 children for severe respiratory illnesses since August 18, with 86 admitted to the hospital.At Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children, doctors put five children on ventilators this week, including a 13-year-old boy whose condition deteriorated from a mild cold to a life-threatening illness overnight.

In Kansas City, one hospital said 15 percent of the affected pediatric patients have been hospitalized.

The CDC said that similar suspected outbreaks have been reported in Colorado, Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Iowa, Ohio, Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Georgia. The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch reported that Nationwide Children's Hospital reported seeing an average of 73 patients with respiratory complaints per day between August 31 and September 2.

What a coincidence that this rare virus has an outbreak just before 9/11, after tens of thousands of illegals pour into our population centers, and just as school starts back up.

 Call me a Conspiracy Theorist Headcase if you want, but coincidences aren't always mere simple coincidences. Often times there are more nefarious machinations afoot. Don't get caught unprepared.

So did MH370 land after all?

Here we are, over a month and a half since Malaysian Airlines 370 went missing, millions and millions of dollars spent on searches by ships and aircraft and satellites from over a dozen nations, and what do we have? Bupkis.

Now there's a fresh rumor and theory out all over the Malay peninsula and Indian subcontinent that the plane never crashed and did, indeed, land somewhere as I said from the very start. In case you missed it, here are my first two articles on the disappearance of MH370. Many of the theories I initially proposed came to be accepted, including taking the plane to high altitude to cut off oxygen and kill everyone via hypoxia.

This first part was originally published  on March 12, 2014.

This is the Boeing 777-200ER that disappeared, seen here leaving Paris in an undated photo.

Look, I'm not prone to wild conspiracy theories about contrails or black helicopters or stuff like that. Then again, the notion that the government was reading your emails and hacking your phone and using micro-drones was once a laughed at conspiracy theory too.

There's a jet missing with 239 people on it. Most people think it crashed. Others say terrorists blew it up. I fear it's far far worse.

So what do we know?

Weather was clear. The plane had enough fuel for an eight hour flight, two hours more than needed to get to its destination of Beijing.

The plane vanished around 1:30 am an hour into its flight over an area with spotty radar coverage. One report says the plane turned around. Another report says it was spotted on radar several hundred miles off course. The Malaysian Air Force lost track of the plane over Pulau Perak, a tiny island in the Strait of Malacca.

We have two Iranians who boarded using stolen passports that somehow were missed in Kuala Lampur despite one being stolen last year and one stolen in 2012.

The Boeing 777 is pretty much the safest aircraft flying today.The captain was vastly experienced, with over 18,000 flight hours, and the copilot had over 2800 hours but just recently transitioned to the 777.

The flight's transponder just stopped sending formation as if it was turned off.

Family members of missing passengers are saying they can still see their loved ones' cell phones logged online on the internet and the phones were ringing to voicemail as if the phones were still on and the people were still alive.

Okay...conspiracy time. Flight was headed to Beijing. The Chinese are very hard on their ethnic Muslim Uighur population and the flight originated from Malaysia which is 61% Muslim and neighboring Indonesia is 80% Muslim. A Chinese Muslim terror group has taken credit for the plane going missing but I think that's crap, and the whole Chinese/Uighur connection is a false flag; too obvious.

I don't think it was a mid-air bombing. Where's the wreckage? If it was a big enough bomb to vaporize the entire plane, I do believe surveillance satellites would have noted it. A smaller bomb would have left debris when the wreckage hit the water and may have left time for the crew to send a Mayday distress call. Where are the pings from the emergency beacons in the black boxes?

Yes, people suspected a bomb when that Air France flight from Brazil disappeared en route to Paris in 2009. But that turned out to be a crash after temporary inconsistencies between the airspeed measurements—likely due to the aircraft's pitot tubes being obstructed by ice crystals encountered flying through a storm—caused the autopilot to disconnect, after which the crew reacted incorrectly and ultimately led the aircraft to an aerodynamic stall from which they did not recover.

In the case of Air France 447, it took five days just to find the first floating wreckage. And it was nearly two years before investigators found the bulk of the French plane's wreckage and the majority of the bodies of the 228 people on board, about 12,000 feet below the surface of the ocean.

The Gulf of Thailand, the area where the missing Malaysian plane was last detected, is much shallower, with a maximum depth of only 260 feet and an average depth of about 150 feet. This means a pinging beacon would be much easier to detect by sonars.

Terrorists want their work to be SEEN by as many people as possible, public spectacles, as opposed to something just going missing.The act is designed to cause terror in the affected population, and therefore needs to be public and witnessed.

Personally, I think there was an elaborate inside job to not just hijack the plane but to STEAL it. Bear with me here.

Much to do was originally made of the two Iranian chaps traveling on stolen passports. Everyone is saying they have no terrorist group connections and appeared to be just plain old illegal immigrants seeking asylum in Germany and Denmark respectively, taking advantage of the very open and relaxed asylum laws in those countries. One of them allegedly even had a mother in Germany awaiting him. But what if this was an elaborate ruse? What if your terror cell sent two Iranians on board under the guise of simply being asylum-seekers, two guys who could easily be taking advantage of thebackdoor to Europe through Beijing, two guys with no known previous terror connections so in case they got busted with fake passports there was the plausible deniabililty of no known connections to your terror cell?

Our mysterious illegal Iranians.

Christian Kozel, our Austrian passport owner

Luigi Miraldi, our Italian passport owner.

What if you had the flight crew in cahoots with your terror cell? Both pilots are ostensibly Muslim. Now, I know that that doesn't make them automatically terrorists just by being Muslim but a duck often quacks like a duck. The flight crew could have had tools of the trade squirreled aboard or in brought in their carry-ons. Just today the UK Daily Mail reported that  a convicted terror suspect who was part of a shoe-bomb plot told British officials that he had given bomb materials to a Malaysian terror cell THAT INCLUDED A PILOT.

The two Iranians could have taken over the cabin. How? Well, the plane disappeared at about 1:30 AM, an hour into the flight, when most passengers would likely have been catching some sleep. What if they (and the pilots) donned breathing apparatus and the pilots depressurized the cabin rapidly? This would result in hypoxia and death quickly among the already mostly asleep cabin and the flight attendants could have been dealt with by force if they were cognizant enough to resist before succumbing.


The pilots could then have shut off the plane's transponders, then turned and dropped altitude, taking the aircraft down on the deck and UNDER the already dodgy radar coverage in the area. It's 1:30 am, when it's nice and dark and prying eyes won't be able to see from photo-recon satellites or with bare eyes that a plane just egressed the area. It had fuel enough to reach any number of locations where another cell could be operating a landing field or a terror-friendly nation could have had a military field awaiting their arrival. Could a 777 land on a runway at a smaller airport? Sure, especially if your pilot has over 18,000 flight hours. Could it take off again? Sure...a couple months ago the Boeing DreamLifter, a modified oversized 747, landed by mistake at a smaller airport in Wichita, Kansas and the experienced pilot was able to take off again the next morning. A heavier, older, slower plane than a 777, that was supposed to land at an Air Force base with two 12,000 foot runways and instead landed at a tiny municipal airport with a 6100 foot runway and furthermore TOOK OFF AGAIN fully loaded. In crappy weather, no less.

So, who's to say this 777 didn't hightail it at night under the radar to an undisclosed hideout away from prying surveillance satellites where it is being REPAINTED in the colors of another airline that flies the 777? Nearly 1100 Boeing 777's of various configurations have been built, and nine major airlines as well as a few other smaller airlines operate the craft. You could load this thing with TONS of explosives or biotoxins or (insert scary music here) Iranian-supplied NUKES. Wait a few weeks or months to let the commotion die down. Install a transponder with codes from a DIFFERENT aircraft. Then you fly it to....anywhere? Chaos ensues.

And to make it even scarier, what if the passengers were merely incapacitated and taken hostage? Would a terror cell install TV cameras to show the passengers on a live YouTube stream as they, strapped in their seats, are flown to their deaths?

Of course I'm just speculating. I'm not a counter-terror expert. I'm not an airline expert. I'm just a very suspicious former Army cop who can see way outside the box. My theories could already be unraveling as you read this because the Chinese (3 days after the fact) claim to have spotted three big chunks of floating debris via satellite and an oil rig worker off Vietnam swears he saw the plane crash that night.

I'm probably wrong. I better be wrong. But you have to admit, it's not that far-fetched really.

 And what follows below is my article from March 23, 2014 about potential targets for a weaponized 777.

Two full weeks after Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 (MH370) mysteriously vanished en route from Kuala Lampur to Beijing, the conspiracy theories over what happened have gotten wilder and wilder. One pundit said they were hit by a meteor. Another says they were abducted by a UFO. The best ones yet swear the US stole the plane and took it to their base on the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. (here and here) and that this was part of a botched US attack on China.

YouTube viewers with bugger-all else to do have latched onto Pitbull and Shakira's 2012 song "Get It Started" and claim it may reveal what was going to happen to the plane. The song includes the lyrics: “Now it's off to Malaysia." along with “Two passports, three cities, two countries, one day.”

According to these Internet Geniuses the two passports refer to two men using stolen passports to get on the plane, the three cities being Kuala Lumpur, Beijing and Hanoi and the two countries being Malaysia and Vietnam. My God, people. Get real. Put down the bath salts.

The news sites clog my phone almost hourly with report after report of alleged debris being spotted by satellite and then reports that searchers found nothing. The constant backpedaling by Malaysian officials and the lack of anything concrete has even started to give rise to various memes online.

Well, last week I sort of scooped most of the mainstream media by being among the early people to theorize that the still-missing plane didn't just crash, but more rather was deliberately taken by the crew as part of a nefarious plot. I theorized the aircrew, being exceedingly experienced, was in on it. I theorized that the passengers were dealt with via depressurization and hypoxia. I theorized they went below the radar and went for an improvised airfield or forward operating base with a short runway. All of these are being talked about openly by all the alleged experts in the field now.

I also theorized the plane was being repainted and fitted out to be used as a weapon. Others are backing my theory. But of course the next question has to be "What will the target be?"

The fact that nothing has happened yet in the almost 2 weeks since the jet went missing can mean a couple of things. One of them is that they (and by "they/them" I mean the Bad Guys) could be biding their time until all the hubris dies down and the media attention gets focused on the next shiny object that catches their fickle attentions and the general populace relaxes their guard before they act. Right now with half the known world to include Courtney Love looking for this plane it may be more prudent to lie low.

Yeah, you know things are bad when Courtney Love is your celebrity spokes-lunatic.

So many targets to choose from...

The other thing it could mean is that we all figured things out so fast that they simply can't act right now and their intended target is impossible to hit right now. But what could the intended target be?

1. ISRAEL
The obvious choice. Islamoterrorists spew forth rhetoric on a near daily basis about burning Israel to the ground and driving the ashes into the sea. The problem is, the choice is simply too obvious. Israel is always on alert. If they had been around in 1478, they would have actually expected the Spanish Inquisition. They're ready at the trigger and expecting to be attacked by a weaponized MH370. If not shot down by IAF fighters enroute, their Iron Dome missiles are ready to intercept.

2. KUWAIT
We don't have a lot in Kuwait these days compared to years past but being that it's not an obvious high-profile target and the Kuwaitis are very tight with us could make it an attractive target of opportunity. We still stage troops there as they enter and leave the theater of operations. We train there. We're planning to maintain about 13,500 troops there as a contingency.

3. DIEGO GARCIA
The aforementioned Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean is a juicy target indeed. The airfield there has been used as a launching point for bomber strikes against the Taliban.The Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia provides Base Operating Services to tenant commands located on the island. The command's mission is "To provide logistic support to operational forces forward deployed to the Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf AORs in support of national policy objectives."
As of January 2012, the facility supported the following tenant commands:

    Maritime Pre-Positioning Ships Squadron TWO
    Branch Health Clinic
    Naval Computer And Telecommunications Station Far East Detachment Diego Garcia
    Naval Mobile Construction Battalion Detachment
    Naval Media Center Detachment Diego Garcia
    Military Sealift Command Office Diego Garcia
    Mission Support Facility
    Fleet Logistics Center Diego Garcia
    NAVFAC FE
    36 MSG Pacific Air Force
    Det 1, 715th AMOG (AMC)
    AFSPC Det 2, 22nd Space Operations Squadron (ARTS & GPS)
    AFSPC Det 2, 18th Space Surveillance Squadron (GEODSS)

Additionally, the USS Emory S. Land (AS-39) is forward deployed to Diego Garcia. She's a submarine tender.

In plain English, you have an airfield, air transport assets, a lot of surveillance assets, and a port facility, including enough ships & pre-positioned equipment to supply a Marine Corps Expeditionary Unit for 30 days in a combat zone. The problem with using a weaponized 777 to attack it? Hundreds and hundreds of miles of open ocean where our military radars could see it coming. Chances are we've sent some fighter coverage there as an insurance policy.

4. DUBAI
Dubai has had close ties with the US military for a long time, and is a fairly progressive pro-Western nation. Dubai is the home of Emirates Air, the largest user of Boeing 777's. If you wanted to hit a high profile target this is pretty juicy, and you have about 145 planes you can disguise it as.

Oh, snap. Look at all those 777's from Emirates Air parked in Dubai...

5. ABU DHABI
Right next door to Dubai, and as one of the United Arab Emirates, also conveniently served by Emirates Air.
Al Dhafra Air Base is located about an hour outside of Abu Dhabi, and currently hosts the 763d Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron. The 763rd conducts in-flight refueling missions throughout Southwest Asia in support of Operation Southern Watch, a coalition force tasked to monitor United Nations Security Council resolutions restricting air and ground operations in Southern Iraq. The Air Force operates KC-10 refueling planes which are involved in sustaining US warplanes covering the southern no-flight zone over Iraq.

6. BAHRAIN
Naval Support Activity Bahrain (or NSA Bahrain) is a US Navy base, situated in the Kingdom of Bahrain and is home to U.S. Naval Forces Central Command and United States Fifth Fleet. It is the primary base in the region for the naval and marine activities in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and formerly Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), to include when the latter was changed to Operation New Dawn (OND) until the end of the Iraq War. A former installation of the Royal Navy, it was transferred to the U.S. government in 1971. The commander of Navy Region Southwest Asia is responsible for NSA Bahrain and Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti. Navy Region Southwest Asia falls under the oversight of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (COMUSNAVCENT). Vice Admiral John W. Miller, Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command and United States Fifth Fleet.

7. DJIBOUTI
Camp Lemonnier is a United States Naval Expeditionary Base, situated at Djibouti's Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport and home to the Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA) of the U.S. Africa Command (USAFRICOM). The camp is operated by U.S. Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia; CJTF-HOA is the most notable tenant command located at the facility as of 2008. It was established as the primary base in the region for the support of Operation Enduring Freedom - Horn of Africa (OEF-HOA). After negotiations between March and May 2001, the Djiboutian government allowed for the base's use by the U.S., providing for demining, humanitarian, and counter-terrorism efforts, and it now serves as the location from which U.S. and Coalition forces are operating in the Horn of Africa. The access agreement made by officials from the U.S. Embassy in Djibouti with the Djiboutian government allows for use of the camp, as well as a nearby airport and port facilities.amp Lemonnier is operated by Commander, Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia, which is responsible for its expansion, upkeep, and logistics support. Tenant units include the U.S. Marine Security Forces which provides the camp's external security, the CJTF-HOA commander and staff, a U.S. Navy Seabee battalion which conducts water-well drilling operations, U.S. Army units which provide additional security, military training, and Civil-military operations support, and several aircraft detachments.\Aircraft detachments include a U.S. Marine heavy-lift helicopter (CH-53) detachment, a U.S. Navy P-3 detachment (technically a part of the US Navy's 6th Fleet - Commander Task Force 67), and the U.S. Air Force's 449th Air Expeditionary Group. USAF detachments include a USAF HC-130 detachment, and, at times, a C-17 Globemaster III detachment.

In my humble opinion, this is strategically the target of choice. Camp Lemonnier is the thorn in Islam's grubby paw. From here launched many of the the drone strikes knocking off your terror scumbags in Yemen and Somalia. There's a staging area for special operations forces there. But then again, terrorists don't think strategically. They tend to think in terms of making a big showy splash and political statement, and that means the juiciest target out there is.... Qatar.

Welcome back, Qatar...

8. QATAR
Why Qatar? Al Udeid Air Base west of Doha, also known as Abu Nakhlah Airport, serves as a logistics, command, and basing hub for U.S. operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Nearby Camp As Sayliyah houses significant U.S. military equipment prepositioning and command facilities for the CENTCOM area of operations, as well as a key Theater Rest and Relaxation Program for deployed soldiers. Al Udeid Air Base houses foreign coalition personnel and assets, hosting a forward headquarters of United States Central Command, headquarters of United States Air Forces Central, No. 83 Expeditionary Air Group RAF, and the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing of the USAF. In lieu of hitting the main CENTCOM headquarters in Tampa at MacDill AFB, this is the next best thing, the local head of the snake biting Allah's ass. Or you take out the R&R facility full of relaxing infidel crusaders playing golf and tennis. It's just across the Persian Gulf from the the UAE so once again, Emirates Air is a regular sight in the area.

Like I've said before, I'm not an intelligence analyst. Yes, I'm an Army veteran, but over 20 years removed from active duty. However, I think outside the box and between the lines. I think like I was in Intel; question everything and take nothing for granted. If indeed the missing 777 has been taken to be used later on as a flying bomb, these targets make the most sense in my view and I dearly hope our security at these locations has been stepped up accordingly. Meanwhile, there are 200+ families who want closure.  I'd like nothing more than for this plane to land safely somewhere, and everyone aboard walks off telling a fantastic story of the planet or time zone or dimension they've been in for two weeks. I'm probably wrong. But I said that 2 weeks ago too when I came up with my initial theories too....

It beats Courtney Love, Pitbull, Shakira, and aliens.

Yeah, right.
