THE FEAR FACTOR
08/29/2004
By ANTHONY J. SANFILIPPO
asanfilippo@delcotimes.com
Under the frequently asked questions portion of the Republican National
Convention Web site, in response to a question about security, the GOP
organizers state "there is no better or more experienced team of law
enforcement professionals in the world" ensuring a safe and secure
convention.
Still, the Delaware County delegation is taking no chances.
"I’m bringing a chemical mask for Tom Judge, Robert Judge, Curt Weldon
and myself," said Springfield Republican boss Charles P. Sexton Jr., an
elected delegate from the 7th Congressional District of Pennsylvania.
"If there’s one thing I learned from my Boy Scout training, it’s ‘be
prepared.’"
The convention, which kicks off Monday at Madison Square Garden in New
York, is expected to bring more than 50,000 visitors to the city as
President Bush plans to lay out his platform for another four years in
office, if he’s to be re-elected.
Yet, with almost 5,000 delegates, 15,000 members of the media,
politicians, speakers, thousands of federal and local security
personnel, scores of other guests, supporters and revelers, and an
expected massive onslaught of protesters attempting to crash the party,
the GOP convention is also a prime target for terrorist activity.
"Any time you have a group of people that large in the same place, you
can’t help but think it’s a target," said Judge, the county GOP chairman
and a 7th District delegate. "With what’s going on in the world today
there’s always a feeling of fear in the pit of your stomach that
something terrible could happen."
Which is why Sexton is preparing for the worst.
The chemical masks, made by Global Protection in Marlton, N.J., are
designed to breathe for an individual for up to nine hours in case of a
chemical attack.
Sexton called the masks the "Rolls Royce of chemical masks."
"The ‘Scapehood’ is the most advanced mask in the United States, if not
the world," he said.
Global Protection happens to be one of Sexton’s clients, but he wouldn’t
say for which of his three businesses. The masks sell for $250 each --
wholesale.
Yet, the masks aren’t all that Sexton is bringing along for the trip.
Sexton is also bringing a box full of latex gloves and a slew of
potassium iodide pills.
"The pills will help shield my thyroid from radioactive iodine that
could be released in a chemical attack or from a dirty bomb.
"While I think New York will be the safest city in America (this week) I
also know that this will never again be a country like I was born into
68 years ago," said Sexton. "We have to start thinking like they do in
Tel Aviv (Israel), where they have the best security in the world.
"I have to assume there are evil people who want to destroy this nation,
and we have to be ready for them 24-7."
Weldon, R-7, of Thornbury, said he would always be concerned about
terrorism at events like the convention, but that isn’t stopping him
from bringing his entire family to New York, including his 6-week-old
granddaughter. we have to be ready for them, 24-7."
Weldon, R-7, of Thornbury, said he would always be concerned about
terrorism at events like the convention, but that isn’t stopping him
from bringing his entire family to New York, including his 6-week-old
granddaughter.
What concerns Weldon most is the protestors, who he feels will be more
vigilant and civilly disobedient than ever before.
"I’ve heard about and read about several deliberate planned actions and
some of them are outrageous," Weldon said. "One report has activists
instructing their people to go into a gun store to get the smell of
gunpowder on their clothing, or to a gas station to get the smell of
gasoline on their clothing and then try to get on the subway.
"If they do that, they’ll shut down the whole transportation system
because the security will have to search them and the entire subway."
A story that appeared in the New York Daily News said 50 of the
country’s leading anarchists are expected to be in the city for the
Republican National Convention, and a handful of them are hard-core
extremists with histories of violent and disruptive tactics.
Several of the anarchists gathered for what they call a "teach-in" in
New York last week to educate possible protestors on the tactics and
strategies of protest.
"The vast majority of the 250,000 protesters will be peaceful, but we
are concerned about a relatively small number of individuals coming to
the city to engage in vandalism and violent activity," NYPD spokesman
Paul Browne told the Daily News.
Weldon, who also cited concerns about al-Qaeda sleeper cells that may
have been in place in New York for two years, agreed with Browne, saying
that vigilant American protestors could cause more harm to the nation
than they realize.
"I wish people would protest and do it the right way and not attempt to
block the ability of others to exercise their right to free speech,"
Weldon said. "Free speech ends when the free speech of others is taken
away, and that’s what some of these protesters appear to be planning to
do.
"And when these groups go to the extremes they are willing to go to,
they’ll tie up the police and security already in place and weaken it
for an even more dangerous threat."

Exclusive: 9-11 Immigration Scandal
Homeland Security whistleblower removed
for exposing terrorist threats
by Tom Flocco
Orlando, FL -- August 30, 2004 -- TomFlocco.com --
After warning American
citizens via her website about bribery of U.S. immigration officials by
illegal Muslims using sham marriages to secure green cards and citizenship,
one of whom was reportedly linked to lead 9-11 hijacker Mohamed Atta and
Khalil bin Laden, Homeland Security whistleblower Mary Schneider was removed
last Thursday from her duties as an adjudications officer and directed to
remain off the premises of the Orlando Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Schneider, who interviews aliens for immigration benefits, was told by
outside informant Christine Sharrit that her former illegal Moroccan Muslim
husband Lyazid Abad had lived with Atta in a central Florida apartment
sometime prior to 1997--providing evidence that Atta had lived
surreptitiously in this country with or without FBI knowledge for a
substantial period of time before allegedly flying an American Airlines
passenger jet into the World Trade Center.
Sharrit’s mother Bonnie told Schneider that Khalil bin Laden (who owned an
estate in Winter Garden, Florida, an Orlando suburb just north of Walt
Disney World on 9-11) was chauffeured to and from Miami and Tampa by
Christine Sharrit’s husband Lyazid Abad.
Curiously, Attorney General John Ashcroft's Justice Department Immigration
Court ordered Abad deported on June 15 without prosecuting him for bribing
U.S. immigration officials, without holding him as a material witness
related to Mohamed Atta and Khalil bin Laden, and without hearing his
testimony before a currently non-existent grand jury with career prosecutors
involving the mass murder of 3,000 innocent individuals on September 11.
The Bush Administration permitted Osama bin Laden’s brother Khalil to leave
the country immediately after the attacks without being retained as a
material witness, despite the fact that Secretary of Defense Donald
Rumsfeld’s Criminal Investigation Division (DOD-CID) officers had prior
knowledge of Abad’s activities before the attacks--since Christine Sharrit
was shocked to learn that DOD knew her husband had lived in Central Florida
with Mohamed Atta and five or six other Arabs well before their marriage.
Khalil bin Laden also has ties to the Tri-Border region of South America
(Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina) which has numerous reported links to
terrorist activities, according to multiple news sources.
Schneider was placed on administrative leave by John M. Bulger, Florida
District Director for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS),
effectively preventing her from continuing to observe the ongoing felony
activities approving Muslim fraud cases for green cards and United States
citizenship. She is required to maintain daily contact with her superiors at
8:00 am, with failure to adhere resulting in being charged Absent Without
Leave (AWOL) in fifteen-minute increments, which may be used for permanent
removal from her job.
Schneider had repeatedly informed District Director Bulger for the past five
years about numerous Middle Eastern illegal Muslims whose immigration fraud
was being illegally approved by officials working in the Orlando immigration
office.
The Central Florida Terrorist Connection
Prior to 9-11 Khalil, Atta and Abad all lived in the central Florida area.
This, while an Egyptian taxi driver named Ihab Ali, who was Osama bin
Laden’s former pilot in Sudan, was also residing in Orlando. Ali was
arrested in May, 1999 for his involvement in the bombings of the American
embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
On May 23, 1999--shortly after he was arrested--Ali was mentioned in an AOL
chat-room, where Orlando residents were discussing the connections related
to the bribery of local immigration officials for green cards--with ensuing
citizenship--by illegal Muslims intent upon maintaining a network to support
terrorist activities in the United States.
One of the chat-room participants--Abad’s mother-in-law and outside
informant Bonnie Sharrit--told Schneider that former Congressman and current
Republican U.S. senate candidate Bill McCollum and his former Orlando
congressional staff assistant and current campaign aide Nancy Abernathy were
referred to in the chat-room as “Nancy at Bill’s office” and that the
immigration briberies had been discussed in the Orlando chat-room for months
prior to May 23, 1999:
“Lady this is all for real, I am one. It cost me ten thousand dollars to get
my green card. I married a gay gal from Disney, she got three thousand. My
contact went to immigrations and paid three thousand dollars for them to
stamp me. Then the lawyer charged two thousand for the divorce and the
contact got the rest and all are happy.”
“...I know for a fact that five immigrations agents, Stella [Jarina?], Susan
[Dugas?], Tim, Paul and Lou all make over six figures a year just off my
contact. Nancy [Abernathy?] at Billy's office [Florida U.S. Senate candidate
Bill McCollum?] makes more from what I hear. If they do not get a stamp and
are trying to do it the right way, all they have to do is go to Bill's [McCullom?]
office and good old Nancy [Abernathy?] will see to it that they are
approved...”
“My country has three homes here in Orlando and six in Miami where all this
is brought into. I have been there and done it. I had a chance to drive
these people [Egyptian Ihab Ali], our country helps set things up. Big bucks
and at home it is worth up to four times the U.S. amounts. To point a matter
to you, these cab businesses [transportation support for terrorists?] are
usually owned and managed by foreign delegates..."
Silencing the Lamb?
Several days later, Schneider contacted the FBI New York City Joint
Anti-Terrorism Task Force (the individuals involved in the arrest of
Egyptian Ihab Ali) while also notifying the Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
Department of Justice Inspector General’s (IG) office.
The IG’s office issued letters of exoneration to Schneider’s supervisors
Susan Dugas and Stella Jarina--also mentioned in the Orlando chat-room--for
taking immigration bribes after Special Agent-in-Charge Alan Hazen’s office
conducted what Schneider described to us as “a bogus cover-up inquiry.”
Three days later, Bulger suspended Schneider without pay for 30 days based
upon trumped up charges; however, the judge in her whistle-blower complaint
said she was a victim of “crystal-clear” retaliation for her whistle-blowing
activities.
There was no mention in the disciplinary action that Schneider had informed
both the IG and the FBI about obvious terrorist-related intelligence
information critical to the safety and homeland security of all
Americans--information which was revealed in the AOL chat-room and confirmed
by an outside informant whose daughter married a Muslim who lived with 9-11
hijacker Mohamed Atta and associated with Osama bin Laden’s brother Khalil.
In an exclusive interview yesterday, Schneider told TomFlocco.com, "Three
years after the September 11 attacks, ongoing briberies and cover-up
conspiracies continue unabated, in blatant, egregious violations of Title 18
of the United States Code, sections 1001 and 1425(b)":
Title 18 of the United States Code, Part 1, Chapter 47 provides:
Sec. 1001. - Statements or entries generally
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever, in any matter
within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of
the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully -
(1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a
material fact;
(2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement
orrepresentation; or
(3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain
any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry; shall be
fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.
Title 18 of the United States Code, Part 1, Chapter 69 provides:
Sec. 1425. - Procurement of citizenship or naturalization unlawfully
(a) Whoever knowingly procures or attempts to procure, contrary to law, the
naturalization of any person, or documentary or other evidence of
naturalization or of citizenship; or
(b) Whoever, whether for himself or another person not entitled thereto,
knowingly issues, procures or obtains or applies for or otherwise attempts
to procure or obtain naturalization, or citizenship, or a declaration of
intention to become a citizen, or a certificate of arrival or any
certificate or evidence of nationalization or citizenship, documentary or
otherwise, or duplicates or copies of any of the foregoing - Shall be fined
under this title or imprisoned not more …. 10 years …or both."
Website Evidence
On or about August 11, 2004, most or all of the employees at the Homeland
Security Orlando immigration office became aware of Schneider's website at
MarySchneider.us, along with the whistleblower documents contained
therein--including the original May 26 and July 13, 2004 exclusive stories
appearing at TomFlocco.com.
Nine days later, on August 20, 2004, the Central Florida American
Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), who represent aliens for immigration
benefits, contacted whistleblower Mary Schneider regarding her website.
Questions remain regarding whether unnamed individuals contacted AILA and/or
Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge to influence the removal of Schneider
from her position in the Orlando immigration office to prevent her from
documenting the continuing approval of sham marriage fraud cases--a loophole
which subverts United States immigration laws and effectively aids ongoing
terrorist support networks and cell groups in America.
One week later, on August 26, 2004, Florida Homeland Security Immigration
District Director John Bulger, one of the conspirators named by Schneider in
the cover-up, placed her on administrative leave directing her to "…remain
off the premises of the Citizenship and Immigration Services…," while also
confiscating her electronic building access card.
[Ed.--American citizens who are concerned that the Department of Homeland
Security is continuing to cover up multiple briberies of immigration
officials who approved felony fraud sham marriages which may contribute to
current threats to national security may want to contact the following
individuals to express their concerns--while also asking why Mary Schneider
is being punished and treated as if she were the criminal instead of corrupt
federal officials] :
