The ideological kinship doesn’t matter to them, because it’s Obama administration policy to ignore and deny the existence of that ideology. And so they focus on whether or not he was in actual contact with foreign jihad terrorists, and pay no mind whatsoever to the spread of the jihad ideology among Muslims in the United States.
“Chelsea bombing: FBI seek 2 who removed IED for questioning,” by Bart Jones, Newsday, September 21, 2016:
…According to a journal recovered after his arrest and contained in a federal complaint Tuesday, Rahami wrote of “Brother Osama bin Laden,” declared “Death To Your OPPRESSION,” and worried he’d be caught before he could carry out a suicide attack….
The court filings provided a trove of new details about Rahami’s background and possible motivations for the Chelsea bombing — so far elusive to investigators. The New York complaint revealed that a family member took a cellphone video of Rahami igniting an incendiary object at his Elizabeth home just two days before the Saturday bombings….
And it was not enough to pack gunpowder and other material into an explosive device. The bomb that detonated on 23rd Street was packed with ball bearings and steel nuts for a maximum lethal outcome, according to the complaint.
The court filings also again underscored the similarities between Rahami’s alleged actions and those of the Boston Marathon bombers in 2013. Like the Boston plotters, Rahami crafted crudely made pressure-cooker bombs.
The Chelsea explosions wounded 29, ratcheted up fears among already on-edge New Yorkers and added another security concern for the NYPD, days before the annual meeting of the United Nations General Assembly in Manhattan. An explosion in Seaside Park, New Jersey, on Saturday, also the work of Rahami, authorities said, forced the cancellation of a running race, but there were no injuries.
Also Tuesday, the FBI revealed that Rahami’s father told agents two years ago that he suspected his son was a terrorist, but an investigation determined the 28-year-old had no ties to terrorism.
Authorities said Rahami, who remains hospitalized, has not cooperated with investigators. And despite the references to jihad and global terrorism written in his journal, investigators said they have yet to find anything linking Rahami to terrorist groups abroad or any domestic cells.
Another similarity to the events surrounding the Boston bombing emerged Tuesday. Like the Tsarnaev brothers, who carried out the marathon bombings, federal officials had previously known of Rahami.
An FBI spokeswoman said in a statement that the agency “initiated an assessment” of Rahami in August 2014 “based upon comments made by his father after a domestic dispute that were subsequently reported to authorities.”
But the FBI’s probe, based on “internal database reviews, interagency checks, and multiple interviews,” did not reveal any “ties to terrorism,” New York-based FBI spokeswoman Kelly Langmesser said….

mortimer says
VANISHINGLY SMALL evidence? Well, what a surprise that investigators who don’t know the jihad doctrine or any Islamic doctrine can’t find evidence!
Imagine an investigator who knows nothing about the Mafia trying to trying to find evidence that will convict the Mob!
Obama has created FBI KEYSTONE COPS by forbidding them to learn about the JIHAD DOCTRINE.
Phil says
Yes. That is why one of the first people from DHS that Obama had to get rid of to help the Jihadis was Phillip Haney (“See Something, Say Nothing”)
He would have had him under the microscope and tracked his every move.
JMB says
I am sure they (or at least many of them) do know about Jihad, I am certain the orders come from the very top that they must not prosecute Jihad.
b.a. freeman says
obama, clinton, and other leftist traitors need to be arrested and put on trial for treason; they know very well that islam is an evil cult, but are using it to destroy the Nation, which they hate. unfortunately, it isn’t likely to happen; instead, in 10 or 15 years, we will be just another leftist dictatorship, struggling to contain a muslim insurgency. and the struggle will fail until the leftist dictator decides to bite the bullet and become Yet Another leftist mass murderer.
oops, i forgot, he’ll probably already be one, because that’s just the way leftists roll.

The low-key bow tie wearing, and funny Tennessean Dr. Bill Warner, in one of his videos posted several months ago, said “There are no ‘lone wolves’ in Islam. Every Muslim travels with two companions — Allah and Muhammad.” Sorry for not having the specific titled here, but it should be easy to find.
For those who have not visited his terrific website, go to www [dot] politicalislam [dot] com. One of his more recent posts is “Moderate Muslims Cannot Save Us” — running about 10 minutes, and strongly recommended by Ancient Old Me.
ALSO NOTE THAT DR. WARNER HAS WRITTEN MANY BOOKS — buyable at that website. I have two “Sharia law for non-Muslims” and “A simplified Qur’an”. Full of facts, context, and citations from the Trilogy.

Don’t forget “shrewd” – in one of his interviews he stated he dresses like that on purpose, to look meek and harmless while saying things that are not popular 🙂
jihad3tracker says
Thank you for the additional descriptor, Angemon.
In that “no lone wolves” video I mentioned above, Dr. Warner says that he is on his way to one of the many speaking-debating events he carries out as a counter-jihad truth teller, and how often the reception is hostile, finishing with “It doesn’t really matter because I’ve been thrown out of better places than the one I’m going to now.”
Risto Kantonen says
I’m not sure if Bill says that in other videos, but i know for a fact he said it in the video where he briefly talked about the Orlando massacre, starting roughly at the time index 1 minute 20 seconds, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MidmZItX_ws&t=1m21s

…………………….
Gee–Rahami didn’t have an “ISIS membership card” in his effects? I guess this has nothing to do with Jihad terror! sarc/off
Angemon says
I know, right?I bet that if someone were to shoot a blak person and said they were inspired by Dylan Roof or any other whacko, the media would have no problem linking them, even if they never met.
gravenimage says
Very true, Angemon.
mortimer says
Rahami should have been on the no-fly list. His father reported him to the FBI.
BringBackTheCrusades says
That piece of information is unbelievable –
Both Boston and this attack were totally preventable!
gravenimage says
Not quite, Mortimer.
From what I have heard, Rahami and his father were arguing, and his father called him a terrorist. A neighbor over heard the argument and was concerned, and contacted the FBI. The family downplayed the situation, and it was dismissed.
It turns out the father himself was a Jihadist in Afghanistan–he was not about to warn Infidel authorities about his son.
Also, Rahami was living in the same small house as his father and the rest of the family while plotting the attack. It is quite likely that they knew about the Jihad plot, and did nothing to stop it.
Ashley says
Wow! This is the first I’ve heard that it was a NEIGHBOR who reached out to the FBI.
Regardless, it is clear that the entire Rahami clan knew what was going on. Hopefully the FBI tossed that little house and left with a shitload of incriminating evidence against ALL family members and their associates.
BTW, I found this review for First American Fried Chicken located in Elizabeth, NJ posted yesterday:
Pros: Their chicken is the bomb!
Cons: Fuses were mixed into the french fries.
Comments: The owner has a real cute twelve year old wife.
gravenimage says
Great “review”, Ashley! And yes–it strains credulity that the family–in a fairly small house–was completely unaware of this Jihad terror plot.
Angemon says
This is a dangerous pitfall. Not having a demonstrable trace to a specific individual and/or terrorist groups doesn’t mean he has no ties. Caliph Al-Baghdadi called on muslims to attack infidels in the West. Some are answering the call. That they never met Al-Baghdadi in person, or anyone from ISIS, doesn’t mean that they don’t share the group’s ideology (which is not a deviation from islam but rooted in standard islamic orthodoxy, as they show over and over) and goals.
Mockingjay says
“…but an investigation determined the 28-year-old had no ties to terrorism.”
– This all just serves as another prime example of why IT MATTERS to NAME the enemy – which is of course the exact thing that not just Obama, but the majority of Western politicians refuse to do.
– It’s like they are choosing to have tunnel-vision, that only “zooms” in on a few “designated” terrorists.
Everything that happens outside the tunnel isn’t registrated – and therefore doesn’t exist.
dsinc says
“…but an investigation determined the 28-year-old had no ties to terrorism.”
How could they know that he had no ties to terrorism? Terror starts, not by how a Muslim acts, but HOW HE THINKS.
Mockingjay says

Yeah – but that is exactly what the authorities are refusing to recognize: that it is the THOUGHTS and BELIEFS a muslim has, thoughts and beliefs that are based on his RELIGION, that are the REAL problem – not whether he happens to be part of any designated terrorist group.

Stop spamming this across all the threads. If you have anything intelligent or cogent to say, then say it, rather than a cryptic comment which makes no sense at all in the context of any of the articles where you have deposited this rubbish.
Are you that turd ‘peter boatman’ ?
Mark A says
Not surpising. It seems like the investigators of these incidents all take the view that “there is no jihad to be seen here and if you think there is you’re a hateful Islamophobe. Jihad? Jihad, you say? Not listening, can’t hear you!!!
Risto Kantonen says
This is a real world version of a Frank Drebin moment unfolding under our very own eyes. “Alright, move on, nothing to see here, please disperse.” meanwhile explosions are going on in the background. Like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdFl__NlOpA
At this point these government officials are fooling no one else but themselves and those that couldn’t realise what is happening even if it hit them in the face. And that’s not limited to U.S., the same applies to the ridiculous whitewashing and the obvious psychological operations to which much of the media has been assigned to in Europe as well. This is a charade, nothing more.
Because the governments know full well that if the population knew the full extent of the problems our countries are facing, there’d be riots in no time. The problem is, that due to the size of the ongoing psychological operations and the high level of communications connectivity that the internet enables, such an operation will only be effective and believable for a very short time. It’s very easy to form a relatively accurate situational awareness by stitching together pieces of information from different news outlets and reports by citizens around the globe. And when people find out from unofficial sources that they’ve been systematically lied to, they will be doubly furious compared to what their reaction would have been had the governments been honest right from the start. Facts have a peculiar nature of wanting to come out because humans are naturally curious.
Due to the above factors, i am expecting a large scale revolt followed by a full blown civil war to break out at any moment now in one or more European countries. Most likely in France, but it could very well happen in Germany, UK, Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium or Austria.
dumbledoresarmy says
Not, I think, in the Netherlands. Because there, now quite politically experienced, tempered as by fire, they have laser-focused Geert Wilders and the rest of the Party For Freedom, with a significant number of seats in parliament already; and they have been in poltics long enough now, to be able to deal with the everyday business of government. If Wilders can stay alive and in there campaigning and speaking and the number of members in his party keeps growing and the party holds together, I could see the PVV shocking everyone by riding into parliament on a landslide… a landslide guaranteeing them enough seats to govern in their own right. And then, metaphorically speaking, the dykes will open, and the mohammedans will be swept away in the flood like drowning rats.
The Dutch are like Tolkien’s hobbits. Soft as butter… and tough as old tree roots. And Geert is no fascist. He strikes me as a very very brave and decent and intelligent man; his love for Israel is deep, sincere, rational and of long standing, and *that* tells me everything I need to know. I think that the Netherlands, under a PM Geert Wilders, could free themselves quicker than anyone imagines… and then they could galvanise others. As Archimedes is supposed to have said, “Give me a place on which to stand, and I will move the world”. It may be that the Netherlands will be that ‘place on which to stand”.

These people do not need to be card-carrying members of a terrorist organization. They receive direct commands from their Holy Book to kill people. That’s not what our government understands…that’s what they refuse to understand.

98% of our government employees seem to be hallucinating as they are about to be fired without pensions, healthcare or jobs.Has there ever been a worse group of people working for us? They steal, lie, forge the work documents, hold elaborate parties on the taxpayers and then get praised by Obama, Holder, Lynch, Jeh, and Reid think they are great, showing how dumb they are.
