NYC to deploy 65 garbage trucks filled with sand to protect Times Square from New Year jihad

Dec 30, 2016 1:23 pm By Robert Spencer

The only reason why this is being done, and the only reason why this is necessary, is because of Islamic jihad. But if you say that out loud, you’re a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.”

“Garbage trucks to block possible Times Square truck attacks,” Associated Press, December 29, 2016 (thanks to Darcy):

NEW YORK — Massive 20-ton sanitation trucks, weighted with an extra 15 tons of sand, will surround the iconic New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square, officials said Thursday, describing a security measure meant to stop deadly truck-driving attacks into crowds like those in Germany and France.

The placement of the 65 trucks, along with 100 patrol cars, at intersections surrounding Times Square is a new element to an already heavily policed event that will include 7,000 officers, specially armed counterterrorism units and bomb-sniffing dogs.

“We live in a changing world now,” New York Police Department Commissioner James O’Neil said. “It can’t just be, ‘What happens in New York, what happens in the United States?’ It has to be more, ‘What happens worldwide?’…

    Always reacting to the last attack, never proactive.
    The jihad has our defenses looking like Barney Fife is in charge.
    Of course, when you are forbidden from mentioning the truth behind the attacks you are hamstrung from the get-go.

      Agreed. I’m sick of being the victim, aren’t you? For how long do have to be the victim, always making excuses for the victimiser? Let’s get angry, let’s protect our people. Let’s stop being bullied by these religious weirdos. Let’s take back our dignity and crush these scumbags, who have bullied us and made us doubt ourselves and made us turn on each other. They are delusional. They believe in something that is demonstrably untrue. They’re in the weak position, not us. Let’s take back our land and our self respect.

        But new York has De Blasio ( and to a lesser extent- as anal pores-Cuomo) and they are liberals to the core. (Cuomo is married to a Kennedy- any wonder?).

        And, with all of the crap that he has done ( trying to influence elections n counties outside NYC boundaries; I beleive corruption of some of his aides). ETC.

        And -what is the number of illegals-90,000? ( in NY that he talked about?).

        And his worries about what Trump will do to them. (Hopefully, throw most of them out, and DeBlasio also- and I don’t even live near NYC anymore). (Note, my spell check for DeBlasio comes up with Delusional). (Is my spell check giving a free psychiatric examination to the Mayor of NY?)

Things will get bad, likely very bad but they had been very bad before. Tours. Lepanto. The Gates of Vienna.

        You are absolutely right, I agree with every word. That is my assessment too. Initially it will go to the Muslims, shocking cruelty, sadism etc. Then gov’s will fall – with a replacement that is currently unpalatable.

        Then we will fight and win. We have the means and the numbers and they don’t. I think, and am somewhat afraid, it will be one of the bloodiest, if not the bloodiest massacres in recent history.

        Will we go one for the Vendetta against their countries? Depends what leaders we will get, the emotional base and support will be there, no question.

        Anyway, Happy New Year, I am off to celebrate!

        He also let ” stop and frisk” die- and not appeal. Most legal experts feel that the decision was flawed and on appeal, would be overturned. Meanwhile, NYC crime has gone up

        But, not stopping and frisking THOSE WHO SEEM MOST LIKELY TO BE BAD GUYS- BY THEIR ACTIONS. Because stopping them, might be racist. Note, most crimes happen in lower income and minority neighborhoods.

    One the subject of the coming new year and the need for good homeland security against any jihad danger , be it ISIS ,al Qaeda of some other like-minded Islamic terror entity, in the USA All this also brings to mind that looking back over year of 2016 which is soon coming to an end. This message is specifically for all genuine Christians who might have some thing to think about about setting first things first in the Christian Bible view for the coming year of 2017. The message to all true Christians is as follows.
    Since Christmas is now over and the New Year will soon arrive it thus a good time to make it clear that Bible based Christian churches in America are very good bulwarks against Islam with its many false doctrines. For those false doctrines of Islam are exposed in the light of the Bible as being extremely erroneous. Nevertheless, even though I go to such a church , from first hand observation, of Christians in church , it seems many Christians do need to take some time for Christian introspection of their priorities in the news of current events In the world today concerning Islam and its different kinds of jihad.
    For example, this year on March 21, no more than elven miles from the home church there was a speaker who in times pasts, was both a Christian and a Muslim and lived in Iran as an Iranian citizen. Now he’s a Christian and an American and lives in America in an district of Pennsylvania. During the lecture he exposed, from the Quran, the violent and deadly nature of Islam. Likewise he also exposed, for the Quran and the Bible, that the god of Islam is not the God of the Bible.
    The point is of the many people at the lecture not even one person from my home church want to hear him. In contrast a month of two later a number of people ,at church, signed up to take a group trip to go to see baseball game that was about sixty miles away.
    A few month later the Sunday before the Sunday of the fifteenth anniversary after the service no one was, as far as I know , talking about the coming fifteenth anniversary of that vicious demonic jihad attacks by Al Qaeda jihadist on September 11, 2001. The only talk I head was about sports. Those Islamic attacks were heinously wicked and murderous. For the Bible view, those jihad attacks on 9/11 was a sin unto God as well as an affront to God. Furthermore the jihad attacks by the powers and forces of Islam were also a heinous crime against humankind and an affront against America as well as an affront against all that is good and right . Nevertheless I head one mentioned it . Then next exact Sunday that was September 11, 2016 no mention was made of September 11, 2001 .as if the hideous wicked and tragic events of the day never happen. What a shame. In conclusion, in this twenty first century “war of idea’s “ between the Christian West and Islamic East many Christians need to set their priorities right and invest their time and effort ,not so much on frivolous things as sports but subject of value and worth . as the reading and study of book by Christian scholars who used to be Muslims . As for example , the books , ISLAM AND TERRORISM by Mark A. Gabriel and also UNVEILING ISLAM by Eegun Mehmet Caner and Eethi Caner . Likewise, there is the book ANSWERING JIHAD by Nabeel Qureshi .

      @Walter Sieruk: couldn’t agree more.
      With all that has and is happening; even though a member of our block was nearly killed by a ‘youth’ gang, anyone mentioning her (she’s since moved) or anything besides ‘who’ll win the game’ is shushed. Yes of course, there are times and places, but many prefer those to be ‘never’ and ‘nowhere’. Just keep the keg cups full and the games blaring non-stop; constant escape. Resulting rampant alcoholism and worsening depression.

      Thanks for the book references.

      I agree with you wholeheartedly.

      Where I live, there are already rules against any speech that a hearer deems offensive (entirely subjectively and determined by the Left) so many are afraid to speak at all.

      Referring to these voices of experience may be a way around the enforced ignorance. Pokemon and basketball are safe topics so that one doesn’t lose a job or a relationship with a friend or a sister, but the stakes are too high to keep pretending.

        To A Harris- the Repubs have already said that they cannot defeat him, unless he is indicted.

        (Not sure if the election is in 2017 or 1028-and reality, don’t care). The Repubs, shot themselves in the ass with their election reform. Keeps a mom and pop grocery (as an LLC or corp or whatever) from donating $10. But a union can donate $150,000 with impunity).

    Dec 30, 2016 at 1:56 pm

    Jihadists won’t be deterred by the sand-filled trucks. All this means is that mowing down a crowd at Times Square won’t be a viable option.

    I really don’t see Times Square as a target…too many precautions are in place. I’m more concerned about the “soft targets.” Outdoor cafes, restaurants, bars…places where people gather to celebrate the New Year without being packed like sardines at Times Square. You can’t expect a sand-filled truck outside every café, restaurant or bar in NYC.

    A significant percentage of law enforcement will be on patrol at Times Square leaving much of the city vulnerable to attack.

    THAT concerns me.

      You’re right, Keith Gilbert. One example of such treachery is during the immediate aftermath of 9/11/01. Ambulances and fire trucks were of particular interest and danger to the security personnel, because jihadis had used these same vehicles before to deliver bombs.

    Please, if those trucks are diesel, disable the injector pump; if gasoline engines, don’t leave the keys in those trucks, leave them unattended, or allow counterfeit garbage trucks in the area. NYC is creating ready-made battering rams for a terrorist by loading garbage trucks with sand and placing them close to Times Square.

    • underbed cat says

      Dec 30, 2016 at 10:01 pm

      Westman……I agree they could also be used as a weapon by a driver who had keys to the vehicles and cause massive damage. The concern I have is that many cities are required to hire workers from diverse backgrounds, which could include muslims who could decide to act on the verses or commands. Not just in NY but in any city. The police cars would be no defense….against such weight. Since NY is a sanctuary city they have more to worry about unless they prefer to strike else where,,,it is a nightmare we find ourselves facing due to the many misinformation campaigns that are getting all the media attention. Yes, there are periods of peacefulness but that does not last for long. Better protect those sand piles that nothing is in the mix. Never thought about counterfeit trucks or school buses. Hope we survive thru these next 21 days.

    Dec 30, 2016 at 3:18 pm

    But, Dr. Spencer, I thought it was normal to put 65 20-ton trucks specially filled with 15 tons of sand at stratetgic points + 7,000 police and bomb sniffer dogs (all of which costing how much in overtime pay etc.?) as a special civic sideshow o/and a bit of ‘health and safety’ to go with the fireworks! Just like here in London they’ve suddenly put an expensive 3,000 extra police on duty, for the tourists of course. All pretty normal these days, and it all adds to the festive fun in a safe, well-behaved, civilised western city (although it’s a bit odd that a lot of Londoners will apparently be staying in or near their homes this year for some strange reason!) And I’m wondering if those big, expensive concrete blocks that I’m told mysteriously appeared around the Christmas Market in the middle of Birmingham earlier this month are still there? They certainly would have made it more impressive for the visitors! (Pity they didn’t do that in Berlin!).

    Although Commissioner O’Neill doesn’t seem to fully explain his reasons for all the extra excitement in New York, surely it’s obvious that, having just celebrated the birth of the Prince of Peace, we then appropriately celebrate the Advent of the Religion of Peace? (I think I’m supposed to add ‘sarc/off’ at this point).

        You nailed it. I missed your remark before posting below. That is what I meant by “All show, no go”. In the 15 years that I worked in NYC after 9/11, I saw but one anti terror operation in practice that looked like it might work and was actually providing some protection.

        Initially, they posted a bunch of young, unseasoned, NY National Guard reservists in uniform around transportation points. The were not armed! I made a note to myself to avoid those guys. They made perfect targets, were incapable of defending themselves, and I had no reason to want to be collateral damage when they were attacked. I am sure that it made many “feel” safe. I reason it is better to take such measures as will make me be safe than as to simply feel safe.

          Dec 31, 2016 at 2:44 pm

          As a NY National Guards member in the 1970’s- our training was, how to fight and live if we were sent to Viet Nam.

          Not, how to protect NYC subways. And, while the real army had M16’s and M-16 A1’s, we had WW2 M14’s- that weighted a ton.

          We proved how useless we were during the postal strike- my friend’s unit had to ( for 4 days) (8 or more hours daily, with time off for lunch) load and unload THE SAME TRACTOR TRAILERS.

      Dec 30, 2016 at 7:23 pm

      You have a point. I think somewhere out there was an innocent Polish truck driver who was the first victim of the Jihad attack in Germany. He was killed in the truckjacking. That would be easy enough to do. The garbage trucks are there and positioned close to the revelers. The NYPD has had to have taken this risk into account.

      After 9/11 and seeing just how weak the post-Guiliani efforts to secure the City were (all “show”, no “go”). I simply started to make better choices on where to go and not in NYC. The discipline has carried over even though I do not go to NYC each day as I once did for 30+ years.

      The last two times that I put myself into a large crowd situation there were to join the protests against the construction of the Bloomberg inspired victory mosque at Ground Zero. The protests were organized by the courageous Mr. Spencer and Ms. Geller. That was worth the risk.

      Why anyone would go to the New Year’s Eve celebration in NYC in today’s environment makes little sense to me. If enough people stayed away making the night a complete bust, the loss of tax revenues might actually force the craven DiBlasio to admit that there is a problem with Islam.

    The cost of all this “security” in Police overtime and the fuel and manpower needed to fill the trucks with sand, move them in and out and empty out the sand afterwards is part of the ransom that Islam is forcing us to pay for their presence in our society.

    It would be cheaper and more effective to fly them all home where they won’t have to endure the sight of Christmas decorations or New Year’s celebrations. Wouldn’t everybody be happier with that solution?

    They are using the garbage trucks for “countering violent extremism”, not just against jihadis. Those trucks will block every kind of violent extremist. Of course we know only one kind of violent extremist who has been known to require that kind of defense – Muslim extremists, but you never know – jihad style attacks may catch on with other types of extremists. Thus, we don’t say that it is to prevent jihad attacks. It is a general purpose defense. (And I’m being sarcastic of course)

    I’d like to seem them also deploy about 6500 bad-ass civilians all armed with:

    ~ Shotguns loaded with slugs

    ~ High quality 9mm pistols with high-capacity magazines loaded with +P ammo, at least 200 rounds per person, man or woman.

    Give them a quick briefing on what to look for and general guidelines on what to do and them set ’em loose.

    This and other feeble attempts to prevent jihad massacres makes me think of the old “medical” practice of “Blood Letting”, a futile and fatal method where the sick patient’s blood is drained in the hope of making him well again.

    • quota raven says

      Dec 31, 2016 at 12:04 am

      Blood letting was good for high blood pressure. One mustn’t paint with so broad a brush. This does not apply when Muslims are involved.

    So New York lines the street with trash trucks, the general census is to have armed people not bad idea but seriously people showing a force in public is one thing to deter terrorist but lets look at a different possibility: Ever see the movie “London Has fallen” ? The terrorist were dressed as law enforcement, placed bombs under cars etc, back to New York, hate to sound morbid but America is dealing with a different breed of person (being kind). Islam has no issue with violence, so what’s to say they use the trucks as weapons while disguised as law enforcement: against the million or so people at the New Years eve event, so I have a question for you ‘Who says it can’t happen”? Seriously people to defeat Islam one has to think like Islam and work against it to protect our nation. Also: learn Islam read Reliance of the Traveller: sharia law it’s all the Islamic books rolled into one huge Islamic know how they think, and live. The chapter on Jihad page 599 to 605, chapter o9.0 explains why there is no “radical Islam” just Islam.

      Not a chance. Socialist governments fear an informed, armed citizenry more than they do Islamic terrorists. NYC will never allow its citizens the means of defending themselves. Never. They want serfs, not citizens. The modern day English model.

      So a dump truck pulls up and parks itself into a key location – and blows sky high, because the driver was a jihadi, and under the sand was hidden a hundred gallons of ammonium nitrate plus whatever other ingredient.

    Hoping they aren’t causing a stuck in senerio! Where there is an emergency & help cannot get in & people cannot get out. I think a person would have to be a idiot to want to be in the puke puddle called times square on new years eve… & I don’t think children should be allowed in at all period. These bomber freaks don’t care if they are cought, killed or inconvienced… they just want to kill as many as they can. Crowds are magnets. Pick another year to go when it is safer. I hope & pray such a day comes in the future! Right now, it’s just stupid risky!

    • quota raven says

      Dec 30, 2016 at 9:00 pm

      Right on, Rita, and I love “puke puddle”! I never went to NYE in Times Square in the 30+ years I lived in NYC, because I just don’t like big crowds, period. But my son went one year, with my blessing. That was before 9/11, and one wasn’t terrified in those days.;Thank you, jihadis, How times have changed.

      Cheers!

      I don’t much care whether you like the scene at Times Square or not–it’s not really my cup of tea, either–I’m not a big partier and I don’t drink much–but with respect this is besides the point.

      Watching the ball drop at Times Square on New Year’s Eve is an iconic Infidel celebration signifying hope and a new start to people watching from all over the world. Muslims want to destroy our entire way of life–not just big street parties like New Year’s Eve at Times Square.

      • David says

        Why not grab a symbolic jihadi and drop the ball on his head?

    I don’t hate islam, actually…I’m indifferent towards all of them, and saying so would like to be rid of the lot forever…the past and current deeds of islam condemn them sufficiently.

    • gravenimage says

    The chance of the elite pulling a false flag attack in a major US city is high, right up to the time of Trump becoming President. The elite would love nothing better than to delay him becoming President.

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 31, 2016 at 3:20 pm

      “False flag”? Right–because Jihad is not a threat, but just those evil Westerners.

      Are you a 9/11 “Truther”, as well? Do you believe that all of those almost 30,000 Jihad terror attacks were just done by some shadowy government cabal to make Islam look bad?

  26. Bhartiya says

    Introspect readers!

    Who is to blame?

    How AL-Qaeda , ISIS, Taliban was born?

    Now the world is facing the problem.

    We all know Pakistan is a breeding ground for Terrorists, right? Can the U.S. Taxpayers ask their elected gov, what justifies funding?

  27. SamKent says

    Dec 31, 2016 at 4:07 am

    This is too much! New Yorkers, read liberals, protect against Islamic terrorism in Times Square. And just who are the Islamophobes?

  28. Bhartiya says

    Dec 31, 2016 at 4:37 am

    This in itself a terrorist attack not physical trauma but mental trauma, inflicting fear in non believers.

    Whole world is brought down to their knees, every where tight security, every where fear!

    • quota raven says

      Dec 31, 2016 at 12:37 pm

      Bhartiya – You are right. Psychic jihad. And not limited to those who actually attend such a huge, public celebration. All those who DO NOT go because of fear of violence through jihad. And all those who worry about those who do go. There are far-reaching effects, and they are all negative.

      Cheers!

      This is very true. Even if there is no attack, the Jihadists have “struck terror in the hearts of the Infidels”. This is what Jihad is for, as much as the actual death and destruction.

      God, I hate Islam.

    This raises the question: Is it more safe to be inside the “ring” made by the trucks or outside?

    This is no small question. It is not a flippant question.

    Does anyone understand?

    • Bill says

      Dec 31, 2016 at 7:39 am

      I do. Both are vulnerable. Inside or out. Inside presents a high value propaganda target — a strike there would say that “you infidels are not safe, even in your safe spaces”. Outside of the ring offers a different incentive — “you silly infidels, we will kill you anywhere and a dead infidel in Queens is as good as a dead infidel in Times Square.” I say the risk is about even.

      My small question is what measures do you all take to protect yourselves wherever you may be?

      • scherado says

        Jan 2, 2017 at 7:00 am

        Very good question to the peanut gallery. Personally, I don’t–for many years–go anywhere remotely similar to that kind of public area.

        What would I do? I do not know.

        When I asked whether anyone understands, I was alluding to the implications of this scenario for the persons attending the event as entertainment, which might lead one to avoid the event entirely when children are involved, or when one places a high value on one’s life. You took it as a statistical question. It is not that type of question.

    To All Americans!
    =============.

    Please do not think that we Europeans are at war with you, and that we have annexed NY. Even though it looks like a European city now. I assure you, it is still American.

    You are just being culturally enriched by very special guests who have nothing to with Islam, naturally. Alternatively, it seems to be that there are large numbers of mentally unstable people in NY, were the motivations of said people for what ever action is difficult to find; despite repeated and thorough searches by the (authority lacking) authorities. And the police you see are actually disguised nurses trying to get in touch with such people and to council them.

    So, contrary to appearance, New York is still an American city and **NOT** under European occupation or control.

    Happy New Year All
