No evidence to suggest a wider plot or an ongoing threat? Really, Governor? Here’s some: last June, the Islamic State published a poster depicting an SUV driving over a heap of skulls and bearing the legend “Run Over Them Without Mercy.”
And the Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:
So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….
“New York Mayor: 8 dead in lower Manhattan ‘cowardly’ terror attack,” Al Arabiya, October 31, 2017:
The New York City mayor Bill de Blasio said that eight people were killed in a truck attack and shooting incident that occurred in a Lower Manhattan area in New York on Tuesday. Dozens more were injured.
“This was a particularly cowardly act of terror.” he said.
New York state governor Andrew Cuomo told media that there is no evidence to suggest wider plot or wider scheme….
“A Driver Killed Multiple Pedestrians in New York City. Here’s What to Know,” by Katie Reilly, Time.com, October 31, 2017:
…At least eight people were killed and more than a dozen were injured, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a press conference Tuesday night, calling it “a very painful day in our city.”
Two adults and two children were also injured when the suspect struck a school bus….
Police said the suspect — a 29-year-old man — struck pedestrians and continued driving a rented Home Depot pickup truck, colliding with a school bus. The suspect exited the vehicle displaying imitation firearms and was shot by law enforcement officers….
“This was an act of terror and a particularly cowardly act of terror,” de Blasio said.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said there is no evidence of an ongoing threat at this time.
“We will be vigilant, more police everywhere,” Cuomo said at Tuesday’s press conference. “You’ll see them in the airports, you’ll see them in the tunnels. It’s not because there’s any evidence of an ongoing threat or any additional threat, it’s just out of vigilance and out of caution.”…
Jaladhi says
We can always expect boiler plate statements from our leaders. they no solutions but meaningless statement – we won’t be intimidate, go on with our everyday life, etc, etc,… . They no solutions and not even guts to point out who is carrying out the terror attacks! Shame! These politicians can never be shamed for their gutless inaction.
mummymovie says
And lately they increasingly seem to be issuing these definitive “lone wolf” statements immediately after these incidents so as to shut down any discussion that points in a broader sense to the religion of peace being the motivating ideology. The idea I think being that if they can isolate and cast the jihad murderer as some deranged nut early enough, they can more effectively quash further discussion about his motive.
John Forbes says
NEXT WILL BE THE VIGIL FOLLOWED BY THE “MANDATORY ” NONSENSE- ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE !
THEN THEY CAL GO TO THE NEAREST MOSQUE TO GET AN IMAM TO SAY – ALONG WITH NY MAYOR CUOMO- HE WAS NOT A MUSLIM – JUST A CRIMINAL !
NO CHECK OF THE TEACHINGS IN MOSQUES TO BE EXAMINED OR EXAMINATION OF DIRECTIONS IN THE HADITHS TO KILL & CUT HEADS OFF & HANDS & FEET !
THESE VERSES ARE IRRELEVANT & NEVER TO BE EXAMINED OR CRITICISED !
INSTEAD WE ARE ALL TOLD TO LOOK AT THE BIBLE FOR SIMILAR TEXT & REMEMBER THE CRUSADES !
HOW MUCH LONGER ARE WESTERN NATIONS GOING TO SWALLOW UTTER – “HORSEHSIT ” LIKE THIS BEFORE REAL EXAMINATIONS OF THIS TOXIC IDEOLOGY ARE CARRIED OUT !
POLITICIANS BROUGHT THIS NASTY IDEOLOGY HERE – NOW WORK TO GET RID OF IT & FAST !!!
John Forbes says
Americans now behaving like the COWARDS of EUROPE who simply will not BELIEVE they are UNDER ATTACK !
I thought better of the Americans that the COMPROMISED & Cowards of EUROPE & THE UK!
You have a far stronger IDENTITY & PRIDE in AMERICA ( and CERTAINLY SHOULD HAVE) & seem to have had the MARXIST LEFT for a SHORTER Period .
Fight back & make America great once again & get rid of the CLINTONS/OBAMA;s TRAITORS & C.A.I.R & Southern Poverty Law Group & Clean up DEARBOURNE MICHIGAN & get rid of the SHARIA COUNCILS all over the US !!

NY Governor Cuomo on NYC jihad massacre: No evidence to suggest wider plot, “no ongoing threat”
……………………
Just an hour ago they were claiming that it wasn’t terrorism at all.
As for it not being ongoing, this is, of course, an utter lie. There have been Jihad terror attacks just like this one in Britain, in France, in Germany, and in Israel.
They are not going to stop.
Terry Gain says
1395 years merits the description ongoing.
kessler says
I’m so glad he survives and will be looking forward to Sayfullo explaining how this had nothing to do with religion and everything to do with a life of crime, racial abuse and mental illness.
abad says
http://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/who-is-the-suspect-in-deadly-attack-in-new-york/635109982
Law enforcement officials told ABC News the suspect has been identified as 29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov from Tampa, Florida.
Saipov is an Uzbek national.
Well then deport his sorry butt back to Uzbekistan
Gbox says
Deportation before he acts. After he acts we deport his corpse.
dumbledoresarmy says
I was wondering about that, that is, whether he had managed to inveigle his way into US citizenship status, or whether he had not yet gained citizenship. If he’s NOT a citizen, then at least that simplifies things a bit. Though since he murdered people, and New York doesn’t do the death penalty, what to do? Life imprisonment means he costs the US an arm and a leg to keep him alive for the rest of his miserable life.
It’s a pit the cops didn’t *kill* him.
Emilie Green says
“No evidence to suggest a wider plot or an ongoing threat”
With that sizable belly, Governor, I’d be careful about using the Wide word.”

they hide the truth from citizens so no one knows the truth. do they not have children themselves?

Johnny Cuyana says
We are here reading this article and, via online radio broadcast, we hear this bozo Gov saying that [I paraphrase]:
[a] this is NOT a coordinated attack; it is a lone wolf … as we see NO evidence which suggests otherwise; and,
[b] we New Yorkers will continue with our lives … and, we will not let them defeat us.
What?!?!?! How can this be?
If Gov, it is as you just informed us — this attack is a LONE WOLF — then, why would there be any need to not worry about THEM changing us or defeating us. He just told us that there is NO “THEM”!
Of course, the question is rhetorical. We all know the answer. We recognize the BIG LIE. So, why do we continue to vote for — to support — this lying bullcrap?!?!?!
These immoral and corrupt politicians will NOT stop with this BS … until We The People TELL THEM that we are NO LONGER going to put up with it!
gravenimage says
*Very* astute point, Johnny.

8 innocent people in New York were defeated today by a Jihadist invited into the country by liberal morons.
Darryl Kerney says
they try as hard as they can to deny that islam is at war with us, and yes they slip up like that, i see it in other ways too, where they appear to have no grasp of the illogic of what they’re saying, or else don’t think we are smart enough to notice. i hope that many do have at least a tiny shred of doubt about their belief that we have to be nice to islam so as not to provoke them, and when the door to reality opens just a little crack and the light shines through, maybe they’ll see that the requirement to be nice and not islamophobic for what it is, SUBMISSION.
Johnny Cuyana says
DK, correct you are! These immoral and corrupt politicians have already submitted … and they want us ALL to do the same!
Such politicians have a corrupted motivation: according to their sacred oath of office, their motivation should be, all ways Constitutional, to protect the rights of all LEGAL citizens; rather, these scumbags are motivated primarily [exclusively?] by their craven desire for reelection … where they want the “vote” of these anti-American death cult muhammedans.
Darryl Kerney says
Oh but the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam right ?
Despite that inconvenient fact that its CALIPH has a PhD in Islamic Studies from al Azhar university and they publish magazines detailing their devotion to islam and its jihad doctrine complete with quran and hadith passages that clearly instruct exactly what they do……..
Voytek Gagalka says
Hey, New Yorkers! Regardless of clear evidence of dead bodies spread along the path, your Mayor (who elected him to office?) has audacity to state that there is “no evidence” and “no ongoing threat”! You are paying with your life of his myopia! Just remember: he will not (ever) suffer being mowed by some “crazy” Mohammedan: he has his bullet proof limo, perhaps even helicopter at moments notice for his disposal plus unknown numbers of personal body guards defending his ass 24/7/365.
Matthieu Baudin says
“… New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said there is no evidence of an ongoing threat at this time…”
Just an ongoing pattern of mayhem and destruction by Jihadists living amongst us who are answering the call of ISIS to terrorise the citizenry.
Wellington says
Here we go again.
If one wanted a sterling example of how man never learns, one need look no further than our time whereby Islam, a rotten-to-the-core ideology if ever there were one, continues to get a pass by the civilization (the West) which pioneered freedom as no other civilization remotely has.
Unfortunately, those presently in charge of the West, examples being the doofus Governor of New York, the despicable Mayor of New York City, and what passes for the media and academia nowadays, are a pale shadow of the heroic figures (e.g., Solon, Pericles, Locke and the Founding Fathers of America) who developed, protected and promoted liberty.
Freedom can only survive if it has stalwart leaders, an informed citizenry and a capacity to detect malevolence early on and effectively deal with it. Right now in the West, overwhelmingly, we are missing all three of these. Governor Cuomo could serve as a “poster boy” of this deficiency, though there are many other “worthy” candidates. Sadly many.
Matthieu Baudin says
“… Freedom can only survive if it has stalwart leaders, an informed citizenry and a capacity to detect malevolence early on and effectively deal with it. Right now in the West, overwhelmingly, we are missing all three of these…”
Wellington, well said. Stalwart leaders would identify the enemy in an unambiguous fashion. The ‘Militant Islam’ descriptor would serve best for laying down the law and drawing a line in the sand. Then, under the guidance of good leadership we could work backwards and systematically deal with all the features of Traditional Islam that feed into support and sustenance for Militant Jihadist Islam. Immigration selectivity would be a wise cautionary step to provide extra time to gain the upper hand against these terrorist combatants.
Joe says
But are the missing things by intent or circumstance? In another news story today, the EU is asking big tech, such as Facebook, Google, and Apple, to step up censorship.

Hallowe’en is a happy holiday for children in the United States. But for the kids at this school, it will always be linked with the horror of bloody Jihad.

Darryl Kerney says
now i’m wondering if the excuse will be he was enraged because of halloween ?
Ciudadano says
Gov. Cuomo just said the most hipocritical cliche: “if you see something, say something …”
Yeah right, I just can imagine the interaction:
Citizen: Hey officer I just saw a suspicious muslim man renting a truck.
Policeman: why do you think he is suspicious? how can you tell he was muslims?
Citizen: well he has a mohamedan beard, like the terrorists, and was renting a big truck…
Policeman: So what? Don’t you know muslim also belong in NYC? haven’t you read the ads? are you some kind of Islamophobe?
A few weeks ago I was in New York and it was scary to be next to so many muslims carring packages in the sub and crowded places. I even watched a muslim man grinning at people while pushing a cart full of gas cilinders through the street. Should’ve I tell the police?
Another thing that draw my attention was so many ads that said something along the lines “NY is also your city” below the picture of a muslim woman. Not exactly encouraging to some one that notices a suspicious muslim and wants to tell the police.
My Opinion says
We will, in short order, start hearing about and being warned about the “backlash” against the peace loving moslems walking amongst us. Be warned against islamophobia. I am wondering when the imams will start preaching to their moslem cohorts about and being warned against kafirphobia. Yeah, that’s what I thought…and don’t forget, you can’t blame all moslems for the actions of one terrorist, er, I mean “mentally ill” moslem…wait, unless it’s a mass shooting, right, then ALL are are to be blamed and punished for the actions of one. Got it…
Singh the Sikh says
Nope, no ongoing threat. They kill, allow things ti return too normal, then stroked again. So yes, no ongoing threat you fucking dummy.

I woke up to this news, this morning. At the time, there wasn’t a single suggestion regarding Islam. But I saw a picture that had been taken, of this piece of shit, from a distance.
I saw the long, lice ridden beard he has attached to his face and I knew instantly. That’s a Muslim right there – and this was a terror attack. The NYPD and the New York Politicians just didn’t want to admit the truth at the time.
Sure enough, three or four hours later – the truth starts coming out.
Another day, another Muslim trying to kill, in the name of Islam. No surprises.
Debi Brand says
“NY Governor Cuomo on NYC jihad massacre: No evidence to suggest wider plot, ‘no ongoing threat’”
Fool–as was the London mayor, who, in essence, promised the same, while, in the background, the bereaved picked-up, gathered up, or dragged away the remains of their dead and their wounded.

Oh, it’s ONGOING, alright!!!

Just read the koran. There’s the ‘wider’ plot
Debi Brand says
“Just read the koran. There’s the ‘wider’ plot”
For damn sure; so too, ties too a “larger” organization.
dumbledoresarmy says
Yep. The “larger organisation” is the Ummah: the Mohammedan Mob, the Allah Gang, the de facto Empire of Islam. For political, practical purposes one might focus first on the OIC and its assorted jihad-sponsoring jihad-inciting (Al Jazeera: Qatar) and jihad-financing (Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar) members.
11braggot says
And here I am still thinking that Stephan Paddock saw the murderous ways of ISiS and was motivated in part by their philosophy to do one better….but no that’s just completely ludicrous….
Robert_k says
“No evidence of a wider plot.” To that Cuomo added, “Allaahu Akbar”.
11braggot says
And who is actually able to see inside the mind of mass murderers…?? nowadays they very well could have ISIS on the brain but Feds refuse to see the philosophical and mental state of subjects…and if they do find such connection they just label it as mentally ill or deranged….WRONG…..it’s a very well put together plan for carnage…all related to social media and the spread of ISIS
Jack Holan says
Governor Cuomo trying to lull the public into a false sense of security is irresponsible. ISIS decentralized the command structure in 2914 and gave free rein to lone wolf terrorists. Theyre harder to detect, the ideas for action come from the Web. The methods are simple, spontaneous and vey difficult to stop. So for the Governor to trivialize the fact that this was a lone wolf attack he’s really saying the most dangerous of all attacks to stop took place today. He just doesn’t realize it.
David wilson says
BBC reportage of the event: “… by a man using words which might be construed as a terrorist attack”.
11braggot says
Time to decimate the families of these rotten terrorists
Linda Goudsmit says
Enough is enough! There is no such thing as a lone wolf. The term lone wolf is a misleading political misnomer – jihadists do NOT act alone – they are part of a worldwide Islamic ideological war against the West that seeks to destroy Western culture and replace it with Islam and sharia law. Politicians that are unable (or refuse) to accept this unpleasant reality are unfit to serve. Americans need leaders with the ability to identify and act upon a threat. Saying you are safe and being safe are not the same thing.
Debi Brand says
Indeed, L.G. Well stated.
dumbledoresarmy says
The “Time” headline – “A Driver Killed Multiple Pedestrians in New York City. Here’s What to Know,” needs correcting.
Here’s what *ought* to have been written: “Muslim Driver Murders Multiple Infidel Pedestrians in New York City. Ibn Warraq says, It’s Jihad” (and the ‘Here’s What to Know” would then direct readers to an off-the-cuff interview with Mr Warraq who would read a few selected passages from his new book “The Islam in Islamic Terrorism” by way of helping ‘Times’ readers understand exactly why an Uzbek Muslim in the USA would think it a meritorious act to take a truck and drive full-tilt over unarmed, helpless bicycle riders and pedestrians in NYC.
Midnite Rider says
Just wait till those who were and still are being trained in those over 30 jihadi camps throughout the USA get the GREEN LIGHT to hit the predesignated targets across the country their scumbag leadership want destroyed.
Perhaps a DIFFERENT tack needs to be taken.
A good amount of those in these camps are CONVICTED FELONS IN POSSESSION OF SEMI AND FULL AUTOMATIC FIREARMS.
They are CRIMINALS INVOLVED IN A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE.If nothing else the ILLEGAL SALES AND POSSESSION OF ILLEGALLY MODIFIED WEAPONS.
It worked in Waco,and the Gun dealer there was LEGAL and there were NO “Illegally “Modified” weapons ever found.
How about WE hit THEM all at once, FIRST, and clean out those nests of VIPERS BEFORE THEY CUT LOOSE? Feds,NG,HS can ALL have a go at THAT trough.
Or “We the People” can sit back and continue to clean up with brooms and snow shovels AFTER these inbred murdering savages finish up murdering whoever,whenever,wherever.
Have we become so WEAK that mere words send us running for “safe spaces”..”Islamophobe” ‘Racists”
“Bigots” all buzz words used by the left to deball opposition to the Nazi Soros Globalist agenda,all the while their home fries run wild in the streets.Pathetic.
Law Enforcement best wise up too,Leftists want THEM dead.Keep protecting these scumbags see where it gets ya.
Instead of going after them as Muslim TERRORISTS or Muslims,maybe the radicalized elements should be classified under a Criminal organization umbrella and gone after under RICO.
J D S says
The NYC mayor said, in TOO MANY words
that this attack had nothing to do with islam. Just another uninformed, SCARED, politician filling the air with empty words to be blown away by the wind of empathy. Has he not studIed the Koran and other Islamic teachings? Don’t he know of the goals set forth by their, never proven to exist leader, muhammad? Don’t he, and other politicians know of their program of world domination.
Since the very beginning this has always been their goal..READ THEIR WRITINGS and listen to them.
Unbelievable…They have no Army Navy. Air Force or Marines. They have no war machines capable of waging war yet they are attacking us and using our political system against us as well as uninformed politicians and the public at large. Seems like I remember Russia saying they would take us without firing a shot. Are we going to allow the Islamist to win without a military fight? sure seems like it. Oh we may win against some terrorist groups like ISIS….But that will not win against their ideology…WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!
Im4truth4all says
Cuomo is right. There is no ongoing threat to the eight who have died. I am reminded of two Einstein quotes when I hear people like Cuomo speak:
“The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has limits.”
“Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidly, and I’m not sure about the universe.”
There has been an on going threat since we permitted the first mohammadean in this country.
