New York City to spend $50,000,000 on “security infrastructure,” including 1,500 steel street barriers

Jan 4, 2018 9:06 am By Robert Spencer

“But we knew we needed long-term solutions, we needed permanent barriers.”

This is the man who ended a program of mosque surveillance that included mosques attended by the last two jihad attackers in New York City, and he is talking about “long-term solutions”? His entire administration is about long-term vulnerability.

“New York to install 1,500 security barriers after vehicle attacks,” BBC, January 3, 2018:

The mayor of New York City has announced plans to install 1,500 steel street barriers to prevent vehicle attacks.

Bill de Blasio said the protective barriers were part of a $50m (£37m) investment in security infrastructure.

The move comes after two vehicle attacks in 2017 that killed nine people in total.

The new permanent barriers will replace temporary concrete blocks that were put in place after the incidents….

“But we know there are some out there who mean to do us evil and we will protect against it.”

Last Halloween, a 29-year-old man drove his truck into people on a cycle path in Lower Manhattan, killing eight people and injuring 11.

In May, another driver rammed his vehicle into the crowds on sidewalks in Times Square, killing a 18-year-old and injuring a further 20 people….

“That was necessary to immediately secure those areas in light on these new trends we’ve seen,” Mr Blasio [sic] said.

“But we knew we needed long-term solutions, we needed permanent barriers.”

    charge the mosques to recoup the money

    • Jayell says

      Perfectly reasonable. Muslims charge their ‘jizzya’ (how’s that spelt?) on unbelievers for no logical reason whatsoever except nasty, vindictive greed, but there’s clearly a good reason to do the reverse here, with a $50m bill to recoup for accommodating these muslims in as near to a civilised fashion as seems possible. If they weren’t present there wouldn’t have to be that cash outlay, and at the end of the day, New York doesn’t have to put up with them. So muslim organisations are charged for the trouble they cause, and if they don’t like it, they go. End of story.

        Perhaps he could make a public announcement requesting donations from moderate Muslims to help cover the cost.

          This must be included when we tally up all the “benefits” of immigration that are such a tonic in our economy. And wher will the next attack occur? Where there is no barrier. Until we are all imprisoned by barriers. Once we were relatively safe in our own land. Now we need barriers. Thanks, you rotten promoters of immigration.

      EXACTLY.

      STOP mohammedan immigration.

      DEPORT all identifiable mohammedans, beginning with known criminals and jihad-pushers and *everyone* on the ‘under-surveillance for possible jihad plotting’ ‘watch’ list.

      And… **think of the money we’ll save!!!**

    For $50 mil you could deport a whole slew of Muslims/Islamists and make the streets normal looking instead of barricaded up like a war zone.

      But big Bird Bill commie DeBlasio and his friends need their votes he just change the way to register to vote in NYC no filling out forms at the DMV or welfare officer you can do it all on line. No face to face or even a backup phone call just sent in your info from some e mail address {out of NYC or even overseas} you can get your right to vote Print your voter,s registration on line send it by snail mail to your friends and relatives in NYC {no internet fraud exists right} .Just think one Kafir one vote one Moslem maybe 7 votes what better Jihad is that?

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Jan 6, 2018 at 8:40 am

      Yep,

      Note: all New York resident jihadwatchers should be making exactly that point to the Mayor of New York – and to whoever’s in charge of *policing* the city.

    Jan 4, 2018 at 9:26 am

    Oh yeah. Place concrete blocks and steel bollards, but do not challenge the IDEOLOGY of JIHADISM that is NORMATIVE ISLAM! That would challenge the actual basis of Islam: fighting the disbelievers and enslaving them in order to enrich Muslims.

    Without a perfect understanding of the IDEOLOGY of JIHADISM, our political leaders will not take the correct steps. Those steps are to deprogram all Muslims right out of Islam.

    JIHADISM is an ESSENTIAL DOCTRINE (usul ud-deen) of Islam, rather than an aberration.

    • Westman says

      Jan 4, 2018 at 1:44 pm

      You’re correct, going from bollocks! to bollards is no solution.

  5. StellaSaidSo says

    Jan 4, 2018 at 9:36 am

    The only ‘permanent barrier’ that Di Blasio should concern himself with is the immediate removal of the permanent barrier he installed against the exercise of plain common sense. First, throw political correctness into the garbage where it belongs. Then monitor the mosques and madrassas, close those which preach violence, lock up or deport the inciters to violence, and educate law enforcement as to the contents of the Koran. The best defence is offence. Enough with the kid gloves. Let the savages know that their vile attacks will not be tolerated.

      Big Bill is thinking about running for president in 2020 their are term limits for mayor of NYC his is going expire like bad milk in 2021.He is in lock step with progressives in America a true commie and a friend of the government running and dictating life to the common masses. He makes his true religion political correctness he would not flinch at a couple on New Yorkers killed on the alter of it if it can help him in a run to be president. It was Big Bill who put in orders for NYPD to stop under cover work at the Mosques he and the goggling eye idiot of a governor Mario Cuomo want to make NYS a sanctuary state.

  7. Singh the Sikh says

    Jan 4, 2018 at 10:22 am

    It’s a losing battle: Allow people who do the killing and maiming to enter the country and swell their numbers, then blow $50m on security measures. Ultimately it’s an exercise in futility and stupidity. They will find other means to kill and maim because as the ISIS Jihadists said, they are right in the backyard. They walk side-by-side with their intended targets. The US has become a Jihadist’s wet dream. You simply can’t even put up barriers at every location. The immigration policy that has made Americans ever more vulnerable to home-ground Islamic terrorism is what needs fixing.

  8. Jaladhi says

    Jan 4, 2018 at 10:43 am

    Benefits of admitting the killers in the country! Still the multi-culti left can’t come to terms with the reality and keep spouting hate against the patriots who want to ban these killers from entering the country!

    Secure the borders, vet the people allowed across them, deport those who are deemed parasites or a menace to our community, and you do not need barricades in your streets.

    We did not need barricades in our streets before the 1965 ‘Immigration Reform Act’.
    Abrogate that suicidal law, and other ‘refugee’ BS, and we can tear down the barricades that are defacing our once beautiful cities.

    Duh.

    Creating a new “Maginot Line”? They should not be surprised to find out that it will work exactly the same way as an “original” one (France’s defense line), neither in 1914 or 1940. When they are going at last to learn from somebody else’s mistakes? And they say that history does not repeat itself. History maybe does not but human stupidity is apparently eternally everlasting like the Hereafter they believe in so much.

      His tactic suits the current relatively powerless position of islam quite well doesn’t it?

      The end game is a place like Hebron, where all the streets are covered with steel mesh, the roads are sided with 30′ nets, and every bus stop is constructed like a WW2 pill box.

      And still there is no peace…just a heightened state of awareness.

    ““But we knew we needed long-term solutions, we needed permanent barriers.””

    This is not a solution to anything.

    These poor deluded open borders ‘no barriers’ socialists, who are all up to their eyeballs in one world, smiley-smiley happy-happy fantasies, are finally, slowly, coming to realize something that they have long tried to hide from – the reality that, at some point, humans require barriers in order to peacefully coexist.

    Life is all about barriers and boundaries, from conception until death, and beyond. The denial of this is grotesque, childish, and rebellious hubris. It is part of every utopian flight of fancy, and always breeds chaos.

    You can’t have freedom in your land unless you have strong barriers far away, and if you find that you need strong barriers close by, you’ve already lost part of that freedom. Most of us don’t need to live in fortified homes anymore, because our societies secured the outside barriers and cleaned up what was inside with barriers of law. Now that our outside barriers are weak, the inside is becoming increasingly lawless, so we’re starting to fortify nearer to home again.

    How long until we need castles again, or at least steel shutters?

    A $50 million dollar Band Aid when the wound is never stitched to heal – irresponsible Muslim immigration. I can think of better uses of that sum of money.

    Years ago the USA had the good sense to prohibit Communists from immigrating to America because they were sworn enemies of a Constitutional Republic. To serve in the military, every recruit had to sign a proclamation under penalty of law that they or their immediate family members were not affiliated with the Communist Party. As a consequence the failed ideology was contained to fringe groups that imposed almost no threat to our way of life.

    Now we have a political party that openly and proudly supports an ideology that affirmatively states that its ultimate aim is the transformation of America into an Islamic Republic. A party that prefers seventh-century barbarism over enlightenment and freedom.

    Folks, we live in an age where illegal immigration is changing the nature of America from the world’s military and economic superpower into a corrupt Banana Republic with a major political party leading the charge. The only saving grace in this devolution is that the next superpower, China, disdains Islam and there are now more Christians in China than Communist Party members. Eastern Europe is also showing its willingness to remain Islam free and maintain a Christian-based culture with a secular government. Canada is on a fast track to Islamization similar to Western Europe and Australia. Thus, with an ironic twist of history, former Communist states will be the vanguard against Islamization and the maintenance of a Christian-based secular culture.

    LOL, the religion of pieces once again costing the rest of us money and aggravation. I don’t fly, but I’ve heard that making your way through airport security these days is basically akin to being treated like barnyard cattle. Nice!

    I agree with whoever said that mosques which harbour terrorists should be paying for these security measures. Actually, if you want to know the truth, I think that any mosque which produces a jihadi-even one-should be bulldozed, as should the homes of terrorists, just like they do in Israel.

  25. Prabh108 says

    Jan 5, 2018 at 2:58 pm

    What about this solution:
    Deport Moslems and deprogram them in their ancestral lands and call for internal reform with Islam. If and when Moslems are fully reformed, they may return, provided the citizens of America and the American government agree to Moslems’ returning. Do I seriously think Moslems and Islam can be reformed? Look at their sordid history. No there is no hope really, however Divine Intervention can accomplish anything. By the way, the carbon footprint of air travel is horrendous. If people cannot live in the West as Westerners (integrated&assimilated) then deportation is the only honourable solution.

    All the barriers in the world won’t stop a jihadist scumlord from being violent.

    Lust-anger complex in Islam is really fascinating.

    The manner in which Indian Origin Persons are treated in the Islamo-Arab lands and by arabich people is appalling. However I am in state of equipoise and bliss. There is such a thing as karm(a) – I shun arabs.

    Kindly excuse any and all errors. I am a student in the Game of Life. Dharm Yudh is on! Eternal battle between righteousness and unrighteousness.

    Trump is an Islamophobe like the rest of the people on jihadwatch. It would be nice if Linda Sarsour runs for NY area (smiles). Wouldn’t that be great? And Keith for president of the United States? It would be so good. (chuckles).
