“Gov. Chris Christie’s office Thursday announced the governor has filed nominations for judgeships and other state and county positions the he originally nominated in 2010 but were not confirmed by the Senate during the year-long session.

The governor also filed notices of intent to nominate two Superior Court judges, which would be

• subject to the consent of the state Senate.

Noteworthy is the nomination of Sohail Mohammed of Clifton to a Superior Court judgeship in Passaic County. Mohammed was counsel to many detainees picked up by federal authorities in the aftermath of 9/11 terrorist attacks. Mohammed gained the respect of authorities for trying to improve communications between them and the Muslim community after Sept. 11, 2001.”…

5/8/07, “6 held on terror conspiracy charges in NJ,” MSNBC.com

“In addition to plotting the attack on Fort Dix, the defendants spoke of attacking a Navy installation in Philadelphia

• during the annual Army-Navy football game,

and conducted surveillance at other military installations in the region, prosecutors said….

Several of the men said they were ready to kill and die

• “in the name of Allah,” according to court records….

One defendant, Eljvir Duka, was recorded as saying: “In the end, when it comes to defending your religion, when someone is trying attacks your religion, your way of life, then

• you go jihad.”

The six were arrested Monday night trying to buy AK-47 assault weapons, M-16s and other weapons from an FBI informant, authorities said.

They appeared in federal court Tuesday in Camden and were ordered held without bail for a hearing Friday. Five were charged with conspiracy to kill U.S. military personnel; the sixth was charged with

• aiding and abetting illegal immigrants in obtaining weapons.

Four of the men were born in the former Yugoslavia, one was born in Jordan and one came from Turkey, authorities said. All had lived in the United States for years. Three were in the United States illegally; two had green cards allowing them to stay in this country permanently; and the sixth is a U.S. citizen.

One defendant, Mohamad Ibrahim Shnewer, spoke of using rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons to kill at least 100 soldiers, according to court documents.

• “My intent is to hit a heavy concentration of soldiers,” he was quoted as saying. “You hit four, five or six Humvees and light the whole place (up) and retreat completely without any losses.”

“It doesn’t matter to me whether I get locked up, arrested or gettaken away,” another defendant, Serdar Tatar, was alleged to have said. “Or I die, it doesn’t matter.

• I’m doing it in the name of Allah.”

The men trained by playing paintball in the woods in New Jersey and taking target practice at a firing range in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, where they had rented a house, authorities said.

They often watched terrorism training videos, clips featuring Osama bin Laden, a tape containing the last will and testament of some of the Sept. 11 hijackers, and tapes of armed attacks on U.S. military personnel,

• erupting in laughter
  

when one plotter noted that a Marine’s arm was blown off in an ambush, authorities said.

In court documents, prosecutors said the suspects came to the attention of authorities in January 2006 when a Mount Laurel, N.J., shopkeeper alerted the FBI about a “disturbing” video he had been asked to copy onto a DVD.

The video showed 10 young men in their early 20s “shooting assault weapons at a firing range … while calling for jihad and

• shouting in Arabic ‘Allah Akbar’ (God is great),” the complaint said. The 10 included six of those arrested, authorities said.

By March 2006, the group had been infiltrated by an informant who developed a relationship with Shnewer, and the informant secretly recorded meetings last August, according to court documents.

One of the suspects, Tatar, worked at his father’s pizzeria and

• made deliveries to the base, using that opportunity to scout out Fort Dix for an attack, authorities said.

“Clearly, one of the guys had an intimate knowledge of the base from having been there delivering pizzas,” (prosecuting US Attorney Chris) Christie said.

The men also allegedly conducted surveillance at other area military installations, including Fort Monmouth in New Jersey, Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, and a Philadelphia Coast Guard station.

• Besides Shnewer, Tatar and Duka, the other three men were identified in court papers as Dritan Duka, Shain Duka and Agron Abdullahu.

Fort Dix is used to train soldiers, particularly reservists. It also housed refugees from Kosovo in 1999….

• Fort Dix typically has 15,000 people, including 3,000 soldiers; McGuire, which is adjacent to Fort Dix, has about 11,500 people….

The description of the suspects as “Islamic militants” was causing renewed worry among New Jersey’s Muslim community….

“If these people did something, then they deserve to be punished to the fullest extent of the law,” said Sohail Mohammed, a lawyer who represented scores of detainees after the 2001 attacks. “But when the government says

• ‘Islamic militants,’ it sends a message to the public
  
• that Islam and militancy are synonymous.

“Don’t equate actions with religion,” he said.”

(Despite multiple examples of the perpetrators saying they were doing it for Allah and/or jihad. ed.)

The Cancun global warming convention heard the Dominican vice president say rising water level in Haiti’s Lake Azuei was a sign of global warming which requires billions to remedy and for which nations (Americans) must pay.

• Not so, according to the NY Times, 12/14/09, Lake Azuei is rising due to corrupt Haitian governments that do nothing to stop deforestation which causes erosion, flow of silt into the Lake and water level to rise.

Below is satellite view of Dominican Republic/Haiti border. The Haitian part on the left shows complete deforestation while the Dominican side is lush and green (Jan. 2010).

Rising water level in Lake Azuei is due to Haitians routinely removing trees from the area and their government’s failure to stop such actions. Even if man made global warming existed, it would not be the problem with Lake Azuei, nor of the thousands who suffer in Haiti. Americans have given a lot of money to Haiti over the years, it’s too bad it wasn’t put to good use. From the NY Times:

12/14/09: “Meanwhile, as the illegal charcoal trade exacerbates tensions between the two countries (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), the ecological damage done to Haiti’s landscape threatens to pull the neighbors further apart in another unexpected way.

Rapid erosion caused by deforestation is spilling large quantities of silt into Lac Azuei,

• raising lake levels and flooding the road connecting Port-au-Prince to Malpasse.

The original road already lies 2 feet below the water line, but the government has been piling sand on top of it to keep the critical passage open. The lake is rising still.

The government is considering reforesting the hillsides to halt the erosion and dredging the lake and a drainage canal, but thus far, its best hope for a permanent solution is a plan to build a new road on the north side of the lake. That project would cost at least $40 million, and there is no source of funding yet.”…

California’s cap and trade business (if it passes Tuesday) will be overseen by the “Climate Action Reserve,” on whose board sits a long time aide to Al Gore, a science fiction movie promoter.

• From their FAQ’s it’s obvious why hedge fund billionaires have become earnest “climate” advocates:

1. (FAQ 47 on their site states they’re in talks with ‘a major commodities exchange’ to begin trading their credits): “Q: How do I sell CRTs (Climate Reserve Tonnes or ‘carbon credits’) once they are in my account? Is there a specific contract template that we should use?

• A: All sales happen over-the-counter between buyers and sellers. At the moment there is no template contract for the sale or transfer of CRTs. However, we may develop one in the future. We are also in discussions with a major commodities exchange about allowing CRTs to be traded on their system.“

2. (FAQ 39 deals with regulation and compliance. They mainly take a developer’s word for it, which as bad as it sounds is the only answer. Transactions take place via a computer click. Those that occur on the ground cover territory too vast for human supervision. These are facts that have attracted organized crime to similar programs.): “Q: How is regulatory compliance verified?

• A: All project protocols contain provisions for verifying that projects registered with the Reserve comply with all local, state, and national regulations. Project developers are required to 1) sign a Regulatory Attestation that states the project is in compliance with all applicable regulations and 2) disclose specific regulations to which the project is subject. While verification bodies are not required to conduct a full regulatory audit as part of verification, they do use the information provided by the project developer and their professional expertise to assess the project’s regulatory compliance.”

3. (FAQ 40 states most projects are verified only once a year): “Q: How soon after a project begins operation can it be verified?

• A: Most projects require at least annual verification; the project developer may choose to verify more frequently. A project may be verified as soon as there are reduction tonnes to be verified. Some developers may choose to have their project verified when operations begin, just to make sure everything is being done correctly, but this is not required. The exception to this is for forest projects, which may not be verified sub-annually.”
