Indian governor resigns

HYDERABAD, India (AP) -- The 86-year-old governor of a southern Indian state resigned Saturday, a day after a television news channel broadcast a tape allegedly showing him in bed with three women, an official said.


If he was a Democrat that would be resume enhancement.

Or something was enhanced......

If you can, find a copy of this book. Read it. It details in casual day to day experiences the collapse of a society into destruction, ruin and the loss of freedom.

AirTran 297 UAL 227 and NW 253 all have Muslims in common


I would say NW 253 had a radical Muslim terrorist on board.

The other two just had Muslim men on board who were removed for not following instructions from the flight attendants.

Nothing unusual about that. Happens all the time. Small groups of men get up while the aircraft is moving, ignore the flight attendants, try and swap seats and move carry on luggage around. Yep, happens every day. Saw it hundreds of times during the almost three million miles I have flown on commercial flights. Yes sir. No doubt.

Not.

AirTran 297 posts

I have seen people get up just while the plane is almost at the arrival gate despite the flight crew's warning to stay seated in case of sudden stops. The most memorable was a lady who jumped up and tried to open the overhead luggage bin and when the pilot hit the brakes staggered forward and sideways, falling into and between the seats managing to get both legs almost vertical for quite a time. Not content to only displaying her undies she also displayed her lack of common sense when she jumped on the flight attendants for somehow causing her to fall.

I have seen a few cases in which a single passenger decided they needed to either get something down or put something up in the overhead bins.

But never 11, which was AirTran 297 and never 7, which was UAL 227.

Oh, you haven't heard of UAL 227? That might be because it got almost zero play in the media. But it did happen.

It happened again on Wednesday, December 9, 2009, less than a month after the incident aboard AirTran Flight 297.

United Airlines Flight 227, scheduled to depart Denver International Airport at 1:50 pm Wednesday for Los Angeles was disrupted when several passengers who were described as Middle Eastern in appearance, confirmed by this investigator to be a group of Muslims traveling together, were removed from that aircraft due to suspicious behavior that originated in the terminal and continued to the airplane. Their behavior was consistent in some respects to the behavior of the Muslim passengers aboard AirTran Flight 297 on November 17, 2009 that caused a flurry of controversy over its legitimacy, and the now infamous case of the “Flying Imams” of 2006.


According to information obtained by this investigator, seven men of Middle Eastern appearance, boarded flight 227. Two took their seats in coach, while five took their seats in the first class section of the plane. At a critical pre-flight point, the individuals appeared to act in concert with one another, changing seats and moving stowed luggage to very specific areas of the aircraft, often having to move the stowed bags of other passengers to do so. They disobeyed or otherwise ignored the admonitions of the flight attendants to remain seated.

Their behavior was so overt and so apparently choreographed, according to our sources, that the flight crew demanded the passengers be removed from the aircraft. One report found on 9News in Denver quoted John Sloan, a passenger aboard that flight:

“I have never seen flight attendants so scared in my life. Everything turned out OK, but it was not a very good feeling..”

Now, are the two disturbances connected to NW 253? No.

Are the two disturbances connected to each other? I don't know. In both cases there was little Lame Stream Media coverage at the time of the events and no follow up.

What I do know is that this shouldn't be tolerated. If the descriptions of the events on AirTran 297 and UAL 227 are accurate it appears that federal laws were broken.

I have to wonder why nothing was done.

Delta Northwest Airlines flight to Detroit survives radical Muslim attack


WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. officials say a Northwest Airlines passenger from Nigeria said he was acting on behalf of al-Qaida when he tried to blow up a flight Friday as it landed in Detroit.

Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., identified the suspect as Abdul Mudallad, a Nigerian. King said the flight began in Nigeria and went through Amsterdam en route to Detroit.

One of the U.S. intelligence officials said the explosive device was a mix of powder and liquid. It failed when the passenger tried to detonate it.

The motive of the Christmas Day attack was not immediately clear.


Uh, evidently the writer is unwilling to believe the terrorist, has never heard of al-Qaida and has been out of the universe for the past 8 years and 105 days.

And some people wonder why I call them the Lame Stream Media.

(Some reports say Northwest, others say Delta. Remember Delta and Northwest are merging into one airline.)

TalkLeft

When you couple that with the fact that he made no symbolic gestures either now or during Thanksgiving you get the feeling that he is truly a narcissist confirmed and imprinted in your frontal lobes.

You really have to wonder what the Left is thinking about their choice.
