| Army Vet Hatched Domestic Terror Plot to Avenge New Zealand Shooting: Feds Posted: 29 Apr 2019 01:34 PM PDT  REUTERSA U.S. Army veteran has been arrested for an attempted terror attack in "multiple" Los Angeles locations allegedly in "retribution" for the mosque mass shooting in New Zealand last month, federal prosecutors announced Monday.Mark Domingo, a 26-year-old former U.S. Army infantryman who served in Afghanistan, was charged with providing and attempting to provide material support to terrorists in his attempt to make an improvised explosive device (IED) "in order to commit mass murder," according to an U.S. District court indictment filed over the weekend. The California man was arrested Friday night after receiving what he thought was a live bomb to carry out his attack but was, in fact, a fake explosive delivered by an undercover law-enforcement officer as part of an FBI investigation. According to the complaint, Domingo was outraged over the massacre at two New Zealand mosques that killed 50 people and injured dozens on March 14, and he boasted in online posts about purchasing supplies to make several bombs."There were mosque shootings in New Zealand," Domingo posted to a private online chat on March 14, according to federal prosecutors. "[T]here must be retribution."He added: "I feel like I should make a christians life miserable tomorrow for our fallen bros n sis in [N]ew Zealand...maybe a jews life...they shed our blood...no Muslim should have to experience this, a message needs to be sent."In various conversations with an FBI informant who was already in the private message group and an FBI "online covert employee" two days later, Domingo expressed support for a violent jihad, the indictment claimed.For six weeks, Domingo plotted with the informant about murdering several "enemies," including Christians, Jews, white supremacists, LAPD police officers, even his next-door neighbor. He also allegedly discussed his desire to set off explosives on the Santa Monica Pier and on several Los Angeles freeways, and voiced support for ISIS—though he had trouble developing a concrete plan. In one exchange, the informant asked Domingo if he intended to get caught, to which he replied: "Martyrdom, bro," Domingo said, according to the indictment.Finally, the 26-year-old "asked his confederate… to find a bomb-maker," revealing he had "purchased several hundred nails to be used as shrapnel inside the IED.""Domingo said he specifically bought three-inch nails because they would be long enough to penetrate the human body and puncture internal organs," the complaint stated. Domingo also allegedly showed up to one meeting with the informant, armed with a rifle similar to an AK-47. The 26-year-old, who completed a four-month deployment to Afghanistan in Jan. 2013, was finally arrested after he told the informant of his plans to attack a "white-nationalist rally" in Huntington Beach on April 27."This investigation successfully disrupted a very real threat posed by a trained combat soldier who repeatedly stated he wanted to cause the maximum number of casualties," U.S. Attorney Nick Hanna said on Monday in news conference announcing the "chilling terrorism plot."Domingo, who has been in federal custody since his arrest, is expected to appear in court Monday afternoon.Read more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

| Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein Recounts ‘Indescribable’ Moments of Terror at Poway Synagogue Posted: 28 Apr 2019 05:38 PM PDT  Lyle Moran/For The Daily BeastPOWAY, California—One day after a gunman entered his synagogue and murdered one of his congregants on the final day of Passover, Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein recounted the moments of terror as he returned to the Chabad of Poway to memorialize Lori Kaye, the 60-year-old woman who saved his life when she leapt between him and the shooter.Goldstein said he saw Kaye, whom he'd known for nearly 25 years and who had helped secure the loan for the synagogue decades ago, just a day before the attack. Saturday's service was a memorial service for Kaye's mother, who had recently passed away. Kaye had invited her only daughter, who drove in from Los Angeles where she's a student at UCLA. On Saturday, he said, he walked into the synagogue's banquet hall to wash his hands. "I walk two, three footsteps when I hear a loud bang, I thought Lori may have fell, or the table tipped over in the lobby right here," he said. "I turn around and I see a sight that is indescribable. Here is a young man standing with a rifle, pointing right at me. I look at him. He has sunglasses on. I couldn't see his eyes. I couldn't see his soul."He froze for a few moments, then raised his hands in surrender—which is when he took the bullet that would eventually cause him to lose part of the index finger on his right hand. "I turned around and went to get the children that were playing in the banquet hall," he said. "My granddaughter, four and a half years old, sees her grandpa with a bleeding hand, and she sees me screaming and shouting 'get out, get out.' She doesn't deserve to see her grandfather like this." "Miraculously," the shooter's gun jammed, he said—which gave a man Goldstein identified as off-duty border patrol agent Jonathan Morales a chance to jump up and pursue the shooter, who turned and fled. Police have said he was working as a security guard, but it was not completely clear on Sunday."[The shooter] was standing right there in the lobby," he said. "He was aiming at me in the banquet hall. He could have easily gone left and gone into the sanctuary where the seats were full for the memorial service and he could have used all the clips he had. It could have been such a bloodbath. I don't even want to think about how that would be." Once the shooter left the synagogue, Goldstein said, he went back to check on Kaye. He found her on the floor unconscious next to her husband, a doctor who tried in vain to resuscitate her before fainting from the trauma. "He faints, and he's lying on the floor next to his wife, and then their daughter Hannah comes out screaming 'Daddy and Mommy let's go,'" he said. "It's the most heart-wrenching sight I could have seen. I was frozen in time." Kaye died of her injuries hours later. "I grabbed a prayer shawl," he added. "My congregation was standing out here, and and I said. 'I got to do something.' I got up on a chair right here, and I looked at our congregation, and I said we are a Jewish nation that will stand tall. We will not let anyone take us down. Terrorism will not take us down."Goldstein urged all members of the Jewish faith to go to their local synagogues this coming Friday night and Saturday in a show of strength. "We need to fill up those rooms," he said. "We need to show them that terrorism and evil will never prevail. Let's fill up the synagogues. Let's stand tall. Let's dance together."He said for those Jews who haven't been to synagogue for a long time, now was the time to visit. "This is a personal request from myself as a rabbi asking you to come synagogue this weekend to show solidarity," Goldstein said. "God will inspire you and bless you."Goldstein later added that President Trump called him to express his condolences in the aftermath of the attack, and that in a 10- to 15-minute conversation, Trump "shared with me condolences on behalf of the United States of America," and "spoke about his love of peace and Judaism and Israel.""He was just so comforting," Goldstein added. "I'm really grateful for our president for taking the time and making the effort to share with us his comfort and consolation." Nineteen-year-old nursing student John T. Earnest was arrested minutes after the shooting, and charged Sunday with Kaye's murder, as well as three other counts of attempted murder. Police say he's the only suspect in the case. He will be arraigned on Wednesday.Read more at The Daily Beast.

| Here's What Happens After Russia or China Sink a U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier Posted: 28 Apr 2019 12:42 AM PDT  An attack that sank a carrier with significant casualties, on the other hand, might well result in demands for vengeance, the specific circumstances of the attack notwithstanding. This could put U.S. policymakers in the awkward position of needing to escalate, without being able to use some of the most lethal military options in their toolkit.Since the 1950s, the supercarrier has been the most visible representation of U.S. military power and maritime hegemony. Although supercarriers have participated in nearly every military conflict since the commissioning of USS Forrestal in 1955, no carrier has come under determined attack from a capable opponent. In part, this is because supercarriers are very difficult to attack, but the symbolic grandeur of the massive ships also plays a role; no one wants to know what the United States might do if one of its carriers came under attack.(This first appeared several months ago.)What would happen if a foe attacked a United States Navy (USN) aircraft carrier during a conflict? How would the United States react, and how would it respond?Circumstances:

| Chicago Prosecutor Kim Foxx Subpoenaed over Handling of Smollett Case Posted: 29 Apr 2019 08:40 AM PDT  Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx has been subpoenaed to appear in court by a retired appellate judge who is seeking a special prosecutor to investigate the "irregularities" associated with Foxx's handling of the Jussie Smollett case.The retired judge, Sheila O'Brien, filed a series of subpoenas Friday demanding that Foxx, Foxx's top deputy Joseph Magats, and Smollett himself appear in court bearing the original documents produced in connection with the hoax Smollett allegedly staged, the Chicago Sun Times reported.Foxx dropped all charges against Smollett in late March, weeks after the police produced substantial evidence to suggest he'd staged a hate crime against himself to advance his career. In her petition requesting the appointment of a special prosecutor, O'Brien said Foxx's handling of the case was "plagued with irregularities.""Foxx's conflict in this matter is beyond dispute," O'Brien wrote, adding that Foxx should have sought appointment of a special prosecutor rather than informally recusing herself. "Instead, Foxx misled the public into believing that Smollett's case was handled like any other prosecution and without influence," she said.After announcing to the public that she had recused herself from the case based on some unspecified conflict of interest, Foxx intervened in the investigation on behalf of one of Smollett's relatives. The relative reached out to Foxx through Tina Tchen, Michelle Obama's former chief of staff, to ask that the case be transferred to the FBI to prevent leaks to the media. Foxx attempted to comply with that request but was rebuffed by Chicago police superintendent Eddie Johnson, according to text messages obtained by the Sun Times.Foxx also continued to manage the case by cautioning Magats against aggressively prosecuting Smollett."Sooo……I'm recused, but when people accuse us of overcharging cases…16 counts on a class 4 becomes exhibit A," Foxx wrote to Magats in a text message sent in early March and obtained by the Chicago Tribune."Pedophile with 4 victims 10 counts. Washed up celeb who lied to cops, 16. On a case eligible for deferred prosecution I think it's indicative of something we should be looking at generally. Just because we can charge something doesn't mean we should," she added, referring to the case of disgraced pop singer R. Kelly.Cook County judge Marc Martin chastised Foxx in court last week for choosing to prosecute a suburban woman for filing a false police report after declining to prosecute Smollett for the same crime."Well, Ms. Clark is not a movie star, she doesn't have a high-price lawyer, although, her lawyer's very good. And this smells, big time. I didn't create this mess, your office created this mess. And your explanation is unsatisfactory to this court. She's being treated differently," Martin said to Foxx during the court proceeding, according to a transcript obtained by a local Fox affiliate.

| Trump Off Sounds in Interview With Mark Levin: ‘Lot of Good People’ in Charlottesville Posted: 28 Apr 2019 09:28 AM PDT  REUTERS/Yara NardiAbout an hour into a wide ranging radio interview on Friday with conservative radio personality Mark Levin, President Donald Trump took a stab at explaining exactly what he meant when he said there were "very fine people on both sides" of the neo-Nazi march that ended in the death 32-year-old counter-protester Heather Heyer, in Charlottesville in 2017. Levin, having hashed over the Mueller report with the president ad nauseam, had one last topic while he still had the president on the line. "Bernie Sanders believes terrorists should be able to vote," Levin said as a way of introduction into the topic. "Joe Biden has announced the other day that he wants to run and he's got a history of actually supporting segregation back in the 70s. He starts attacking you for Charlottesville."Levin then makes it clear that he has gone back through the audio tapes of the president's comments in which he said that there were "some very fine people" on both sides of the issue. "You never said anything positive about neo-nazis and klansmen, but they continue to push that line, don't they?" Levin asked."That's a terrible thing that they keep bringing up," the president responded. "And I actually said, two different ways. And I actually said it every way you can say it. But I said you had bad people in both groups and I said you had good people in both groups."Levin then prompted the president, "And by groups you mean protestors, not the Klan and neo-nazis?"The president then said that absolutely yes, that's just what he meant."If you remember, that started over the statue of probably the greatest general in the history of our country in terms of strategic brilliance," he said. "If you go to generals, a lot of generals I work with many of them, think that strategically and in many ways Robert E. Lee was the greatest general they have in Charlottesville where I have a big property, where I have a big house, the John Kluge estate.""You know will you go and you look at this incredible–what was–incredible statue of Robert E. Lee on a horse and many of those people were from University of Virginia. They were from all around the neighborhood, the area," he said. "They just wanted to protest the fact that they want to take down the statue of Robert E. Lee now there were a lot of good people in that group and they were protesting the taking down of statues."Levin did not fact check the president or clarify that there were no University of Virginia protesters carrying tiki torches that day who were not part of the Unite the Right neo-nazi movement or those protesting the march.

| Jordan Peterson accuses Cambridge University of being 'unprofessional' after he found out from Twitter that he was stripped of fellowship Posted: 28 Apr 2019 06:23 AM PDT  The controversial professor Jordan Peterson has said Cambridge University is "unprofessional" after he found out the institution had stripped him of a fellowship via Twitter. Dr Peterson, who will be speaking at a sold-out show at the Hammersmith Apollo next month, said he felt "sorrow" and "shock" over the decision, which came as Cambridge academics lambasted the university for inviting him. Many have dismissed the views of the Canadian psychologist, who has hundreds of thousands of fans and styles himself as the "professor against political correctness". He has argued for enforced monogamy, pushed the view that men are victims of gender discrimination, and said that the idea of white privilege is a "Marxist lie." The professor has also come under fire for posing in a photograph next to a man in a shirt with the slogan "proud Islamaphobe". However, he has said the university was wrong to strip him of his visiting fellowship, telling the Sunday Times magazine: "It was unprofessional in a way that is almost incomprehensible to me. I can't believe how it was handled." The professor added that the decision it reflects the general attitude of universities and their "continual, quasi-Marxist assault" on the "foundational ideas of our culture." He also defended sacked government advisor Roger Scruton, who was relieved of his position on the Building Better Building Beautiful Commission over remarks he made about Islamophobia and the Chinese government. Dr Peterson said Mr Scruton was "witch-hunted" out of his position, adding: "It's not surprising, this kind of thing happens all the time now. "People make mistakes, they're taken out of context. If the rule is going to be that if you have ever said anything that could be interpreted as offensive by the minority, no matter how small - I don't mean ethnic, I mean minority of people - you are no longer fit for public office or public discussion or anything of significance, then how the hell are you going to escape that?"

| What we know about the Sri Lanka bombers Posted: 28 Apr 2019 08:34 AM PDT  Sri Lanka's horrific Easter attacks that killed 253 people were orchestrated by a firebrand cleric who sought out young men from wealthy families and radicalised them into suicide bombers, according to initial evidence gathered by investigators. The attacks were led by Zahran Hashim, a Sri Lankan Muslim preacher who founded the radical National Thowheeth Jama'ath (NTJ) organisation in the eastern town of Kattankudy. After Hashim's violent diatribes sparked a police investigation in 2017, he fled the town, disappearing for years until he resurfaced as one of the two suicide bombers who killed dozens at Colombo's luxury Shangri-La hotel on Easter Sunday.
