FBI Lying About Northwest Flight 253?

There is much Americans are not being told about Northwest flight 253, which may just be, as Representative Peter King states, “selective ass-covering,” which is a common everyday practice among the professional jobholders in Washington D.C.

Kurt Haskell, an attorney who lives in Michigan and was on the flight, has been talking about the goings on in regards to Northwest flight 253 at Mlive.com, and has been visited by the FBI, because Mr. Haskell’s story does not follow the official version.

“Today is the second worst day of my life after 12-25-09. Today is the day that I realized that my own country is lying to me and all of my fellow Americans. Let me explain.

Ever since I got off of Flight 253 I have been repeating what I saw in US Customs. Specifically, 1 hour after we left the plane, bomb sniffing dogs arrived. Up to this point, all of the passengers on Flight 253 stood in a small area in an evacuated luggage claim area of an airport terminal. During this time period, all of the passengers had their carry on bags with them. When the bomb sniffing dogs arrived, 1 dog found something in a carry on bag of a 30 ish Indian man. This is not the so called “Sharp Dressed” man. I will refer to this man as “The man in orange”. The man in orange, who stood some 20ft away from me the entire time until he was taken away, was immediately taken away to be searched and interrogated in a nearby room. At this time he was not handcuffed. When he emerged from the room, he was then handcuffed and taken away. At this time an FBI agent came up to the rest of the passengers and said the following (approximate quote) “You all are being moved to another area because this area is not safe. I am sure many of you saw what just happened (Referring to the man in orange) and are smart enough to read between the lines and figure it out.” We were then marched out of the baggage claim area and into a long hallway. This entire time period and until we left customs, no person that wasn’t a law enforcement personnel or a passenger on our flight was allowed anywhere on our floor of the terminal (or possibly the entire terminal) The FBI was so concerned during this time, that we were not allowed to use the bathroom unless we went alone with an FBI agent, we were not allowed to eat or drink, or text or call anyone. I have been repeating this same story over the last 5 days. The FBI has, since we landed, insisted that only one man was arrested for the airliner attack (contradicting my account). However, several of my fellow passengers have come over the past few days, backed up my claim, and put pressure on FBI/Customs to tell the truth. Early today, I heard from two different reporters that a federal agency (FBI or Customs) was now admitting that another man has been held (and will be held indefinitely) since our flight landed for “immigration reasons.” Notice that this man was “being held” and not “arrested”, which was a cute semantic ploy by the FBI to stretch the truth and not lie.

Better watch it, Kurt, or you’ll be getting visits from more than just the FBI.

You Know Things Are Bad When…

In a Wall Street Journal puff piece, titled The World’s District Attorney,  regarding the retirement of New York County District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, Morgenthau has this to say.

The D.A. says that while he’s had to deal with the federal bureaucracy for decades, “it has just gotten worse” and “they ought to burn it down and start all over again. It’s extremely worrisome.”

Recognizing the veracity in Morgenthau’s statement is important, but also understand that individuals such as Morgenthau, being a lifelong enforcer for the State, who recognize the “extremely worrisome” aspect of the federal bureaucracy, and state that “they ought to burn it down and start all over again,” are simply mouthing words which seem to indicate a return to freedom from the State, as their desire to “start all over again” illustrates.

TSA Goes After Bloggers

The ineptitude of the TSA continues unabated.  Since they cannot seem to keep terrorists off of planes, they are going after bloggers who seem to display an aptitude for knowing things the TSA deems they should not know.

As the government reviews how an alleged terrorist was able to bring a bomb onto a U.S.-bound plane and try to blow it up on Christmas Day, the Transportation Security Administration is going after bloggers who wrote about a directive to increase security after the incident.

TSA special agents served subpoenas to travel bloggers Steve Frischling and Chris Elliott, demanding that they reveal who leaked the security directive to them. The government says the directive was not supposed to be disclosed to the public.

TSA subpoenas bloggers, demands names of sources

Why is the government able to so quickly target and bring to bear their intelligence against Americans rather than those who desire to do Americans harm?
