Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

$28,500 deposit to Syed Farook’s account two weeks before SB jihad shooting

Dec 8, 2015 8:45 am By Robert Spencer

Here is clear connection to the international jihad that the mainstream media is still denying exists. Yesterday Trump was excoriated for citing data from a group that “has claimed that there is a ‘global jihad movement’ underway with the goal of installing ‘sharia law’ around the world.” The authors and publishers of that report clearly think that it is ridiculous on its face to say that there is a “global jihad movement,” and that their readers will agree. Are they living under a rock?

“Bank records show $28,500 deposit to Syed Farook’s account two weeks before the shooting, source says,” by Catherine Herridge and Pamela Browne, Fox News, December 8, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

EXCLUSIVE – A $28,500 deposit was made to Syed Farook’s bank account from WebBank.com on or about Nov.18, some two weeks before he and his wife Tashfeen Malik carried out the San Bernardino massacre, a source close to the investigation told Fox News Monday.

Investigators are exploring whether the transaction was a loan taken out by Farook, who with his wife killed 14 and wounded 21 when they opened fire at a holiday lunch. He earned $53,000 a year with the county as an environmental health inspector.

On its website, the Utah-headquartered WebBank.com describes itself as “a leading provider of national consumer and commercial private-label and bank card financing programs” on a nationwide basis.

On or about Nov.20, Fox News is told Farook converted $10,000 to cash, and withdrew the money at a Union Bank branch in San Bernardino. Afterwards, in the days before the shooting, there were at least three transfers of $5,000 that appear to be to Farook’s mother.

The loan and large cash withdrawal were described to Fox News by the source as “significant evidence of pre-meditation,” and further undercut the premise that an argument at the Christmas party on Dec. 2 led to the shooting.

Fox News is also told that investigators are exploring whether the $10,000 cash withdrawal was used to reimburse Enrique Marquez, the man who bought the two semiautomatic rifles used in the San Bernardino shootings. Marquez is now reportedly answering investigators’ questions.

“Right now our major concern at the FBI, the ATF, and the JTTF (Joint Terrorism Task Force) is determining how those firearms, the rifles in particular, got from Marquez to Farook and to Malik,” assistant special agent in charge with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, John D’Angelo, told reporters in California Monday.

At the same news conference, authorities said the weapons were all legally purchased in California between 2007 and 2012.

The source, who was not authorized to speak on the record about the federal investigation, said there is further evidence of pre-meditation with a charge for the SUV rental processing on Farook’s account Nov. 30, two days before the shooting.

Contacted by Fox News, a woman who was identified by another employee as Lorie Gilbert and a member of WebBank.com’s strategic partnership, said they were “not going to respond to that (questions about the Farook transaction)” before hanging up. Another WebBank.com employee said they were “not talking to the press.”…

    Our media in cahoots with Muslims and that is why they deny Muslim jihad in uSA and elsewhere. They do not want the truth about Islam/Muslim/jihad to come out so that the common man in USA does not find out the real face of Islam. If this is not a traitorous act then I don’t know what is!

      Good point
      in reference to: — “the real face of Islam”

      If this full on carpet kissing Muslim man and his wife have absolutely nothing to do with ‘real Islam’ as the Muslim talking heads claim, then must ask, why are Muslims so furious that his wife was shown in hijab only instead of her full dress up burqa clown suit?

      As Hillary would say, “What difference does it make?”

    All that money can’t even buy a drop of water in hell.
    If the money came from a criminal source either from or to commit a crime it will be taken by the government.
    28.5 grand couldn’t even buy plastic surgery for that woman, what were they thinking.

    But his family, friends and the prayer buddies at the mosque had no idea that he was being “radicalized” So clearly Islam has nothing to do with it. Lets go and protect all the muslims and lets not talk bad about this wonderful religion of Islam ever.

      Let’s protect Muslims – I think the best way to do that is to send them to Muslim countries.

    The word “radicalized” is really meaningless just to absolve Muslims of the crimes of Islam followers. The word is meaningless because these terrorists are just following what is written in Quran. But they will deny that any such “radical” preaching is in Quran even when you tell them exactly all the surahs reciting murder of infidel s, Jews and Christians!

    Followers of Islam are all radicalized from the age of five onwards – its just that they follow the teachings at different times when our media, pseudo-experts ask where were they radicalized – homes and mosques!! Just laughable!!

    [quote] The loan and large cash withdrawal were described to Fox News by the source as “significant evidence of pre-meditation,” and further undercut the premise that an argument at the Christmas party on Dec. 2 led to the shooting.[quote/]

    I don’t think that pre-meditation and settling a personal grudge are mutually exclusive. In the Broken Hill attack of Jan 1st, 1915 “Mullah Abdullah said in his last letter that he was dying for his faith and in obedience to the order of the Sultan, “but owing to my grudge against Chief Sanitary Inspector Brosnan it was my intention to kill him first.”

    Muslims will often use jihad as a excuse to settle personal grudges.

    The $28,500 tells me that the couple, probably at the woman’s urging, decided to make a series of major jihad attacks in California and just stopped off at the work place first to settle the man’s grudge against Nicholas Thalasinos. They just got caught quicker than they expected to.

    Why that premise is still on the table is beyond me.

    What do we know?

    We know:
    — We cannot believe Obama and liberal media.
    — Trump is simply speaking the truth about Muslim immigration.
    — Liberals are latching onto assault weapons as the “real killer” so as not to say Muslims.
    ———————–

    BBC has slipped up — from extremists, to radicals, and now militants (ref to Paris).
    “militants” ???
    A militant is someone who follows the same basic ideology as a moderate.
    A militant is someone expressing a ‘grievance’. In other words “our fault”

    If only we would just give in to their grievance they would not wish to kill us, or so BBC implies.

    They planned a terror attack. When planning a terror attack, the terrorist has to choose a target. Will it be a soft target or a hardened one? Easier to kill more people at a soft target…no guards, no guns, no expectation of things happening.
    The news was out that large gatherings would be targeted…sports arenas, malls, churches, etc.

    This moslim and his wife planned big…maybe they even had others that were going to join them at the site of the murders. Maybe the others were gathered at the scene of the hardened target, waiting.

    farook was a hot head…he had been practicing his shooting for a long, long time. In one of the places he *inspected,* the owner said farook didn’t really seem to care about doing his job.
    farook, like the *good moslim* he wanted to be and believed himself to be, hated both Christians and Jews. Imagine…he was in the same business as a man who was both…imagine his rage at this man.

    The man who was so much the object of moslim rage, had a disagreement with farook over the peacefulness of islam…how dare this Christian Jew argue with someone superior as farook imagined himself to be!

    Who, besides the two dead terrorists knew what their chosen targets were? One police source said they had planned a soft target and a hardened target…hitting the soft one first in order to have a measure of success just in case they failed at the hardened one.

    Perhaps farook and his unlovely bride had not settled on a soft target when he had the argument. Perhaps when farook went to the training session…held before the Christmas party…he was still in the planning stage, still looking for a soft target. Perhaps when he saw how many people were there, and seeing the set up for the party…which he hated…all of the decorations…he chose his soft target.
    He had only rented the suv used in the crimes through that day. So perhaps he had chosen the meeting and the party before he ever arrived and his wife was home getting into the clothes she wore for the shootings and murders.

    There was a large number of people who could be killed…75-80 of a possible 90 who were supposed to attend. It was soft in that no guard was at the door to prevent entry, no guns among the group, no expectations of trouble. Who expects a shooting at a Christmas party?
    The woman began shooting first while farook was looking for his special target among the group…the man he wanted to be sure he killed…the Christian Jew.

    And how about the rented SUV? Perhaps its cost may have
    been near 25-30 k It was a total wreck.. May be the rental
    company should donate to CAIR Headquarters as a memento.

    If, indeed, funds to these terrorists came from Saudi Arabia then there should be an immediate bombing run on their main mosque before there are any talks – call it a shot across their bow. And if there is no U.S. government response to this atrocity then Obama should be immediately impeached.
