Chazmo’s Little Soldier

It’s another day at Little Green Footballs, which means that a new astonishing event has just confirmed that the Neo-Semite Peril is this | | far away from killing us all, and indeed they at LGF warned us and warned us, but we laughed in scorn — so when Falafel Armageddon finally comes and washes all the scum off the streets, they will feel only pitiless fury toward those who weakened under the brutal iron boot of the Muslim swine who. . .

But enough small talk. Let’s see what the Global Muslim Death Hitlers have been up to this time.

Breaking: Missile Launcher Discovered in New Jersey

A missile launcher has turned up in the front lawn of a house in New Jersey, along the flight path to Newark Liberty International Airport: Feds Seize Rocket Launcher In NJ.

From the description it sounds like a shoulder-launched SAM.

Wow. Could these spastic squirrels finally have blundered into a nut? Let’s see:

(CBS) JERSEY CITY A Jersey City woman made a shocking discovery on her lawn this morning when she noticed a military rocket launcher lying in the grass.

Niranjana Besai was leaving her house, located at 88 Nelson Street, to go to work just after 8 this morning when she spotted the launcher on her front lawn. “I read it and it [said] ‘missile,’” Besai told CBS 2 HD. “There was little ‘missile’ [writing] on it.” She immediately called police.

Sources tell CBS 2 HD that the device is the type used to shoot shoulder-fired rockets and is capable of taking down an aircraft. What’s more troubling, sources add, is that Besai’s house is located along flight path for Newark Liberty International Airport.

Besai’s neighbor, Joe Quinn, saw her pointing at the equipment from her front porch. When he walked over to see what the fuss was about, he was just as shocked to see the six-foot-long weapon. “She’s pointing that there’s something in the front,” he told CBS 2 HD. “I said, ‘Let me come down and take a look,’ and I saw a little soldier on it and I said, ‘Whoa, that’s a missile launcher or something!’”

Quinn says he originally thought the launcher was just a pipe, but after noticing the picture of the soldier, he realized it looked similar to a missile launcher he’d seen on television.

Jersey City Police removed the launcher, and the incident is now being investigated by the Joint Terrorism Task Force and the FBI.

Sources say Besai is not involved in the investigation as a suspect.

UPDATE at 7/20/07 11:59:46 am:

Zombie tracked down this possible candidate for the type of launcher:

…By looking at the sidebar to the story, where it says what kind the police think it was, and then geniusly utilizing ‘copy’ and ‘paste’ to do a Google search.

M136 AT4 Anti-armor Weapon. Notice the “little soldier” diagram as described by the witness above.

While we were, like Zombie, diligently investigating this breaking story by looking at the news article, we chanced to see a subhed under the main headline:

Officials: Launcher, Good For One Use Only, Had Already Been Fired

In other words, the object found was just the empty tube for an anti-tank missile.

Continuing our exhaustive investigation, we typed several terms into Google and discovered the following news item, also posted on Free Republic, of a used launch tube discovered two months ago in Hamilton, Ohio. Evidence of a jihadi conspiracy?!! Perhaps, but this detail stood out:

According to the U.S. Bureau of Tobacco, Alcohol, Firearms and Explosives, M72 launchers with a training tube installed for firing smaller projectiles than the usual rocket fall under the same regulations as firearms. A used, inoperable tube, however is not federally regulated, an ATF official said Friday.

Then, in a flurry of data-gathering involving the reading of several simple declarative sentences and the typing of several more terms into Google, we found you can buy both the above tubes and AT4 tubes — the one found in Jersey City — from surplus stores.

So to sum up, it was harmless, unregulated, and legally available through legitimate retail outlets.

Then again you can’t be too careful when there are terrorists trying to kill you every single day. Actually, to their credit, a lot of LGF commenters have started to laugh these reports off, and there’s a ’24-hour rule’ in effect by which people are now encouraged to avoid the traditional LGF leap-to-conclusions that has often proven so embarrassing in the past. But the circus continues:

It may have miss fired and they dropped it and ran. To soon to tell. Who knows they may have fired it and missed.

#33 Spider Mensch 7/20/2007 10:30:41 am PDT
well the Journal square area of Jersey City is like walking thru damascus, syria. it and the Paterson area here in north NJ are notorious centers for islam.

This has all the underpinnings of a CAIR set up.

Plant a useless ‘weapon’ on someone who may or may-not be a muslim, and wait for all the anti-islamic-backlash to start. Then they sue some one.

I go with the response time scenario. Much like the two women casing the airport from earlier this week.

I’m not a big expert on terrorist tactics, but I have read enough and had enough military training to know that you don’t just jump in and do a dirty deed. You plan it out and cover all your bases before the appointed time.

I’m also not a psychic, but I feel that there will be more of these little “move on nothing to see here, no problemo” events in the coming days/weeks/months. Just remeber to keep your head down and your powder dry.

He is cunning, the Global Muslim. Cunning enough to plant a legal and harmless device on someone’s lawn just to lure us into a false sense of security. And then, my friends, then comes the Shish-Kebabcalypse.

If Islamic terrorists strike again in America, these people will be typing with one hand and a tissue. Fortunately, they’re skilled at this: The phrase, ‘barely legal Palestinian teens,’ makes you stretch your typing hand a lot.

LGF citizen-journalists: pissing their pants over here, so they don’t have to piss them over there.

 
 

Powder dry?

Is the LGF mob using muskets? Cannons? Perhaps the wily blunderbuss?

I’m no gun nut, but hasn’t the age of powder in firearms been surpassed?

 
 

The AT-4 is the standard anti-tank missile used by the Army – although it is only effective against light armor. There is a modified version used in training which fires a .50 caliber tracer round instead of the usual HEAT round. In any event, the article is right, the weapon is quite literally “disposable,” and I guess Chazmo and his friends can’t be bothered to read sub-heds.

 
 

What is this “Google” of which you speak? Is it available over the counter?

 
 

Sssh! Don’t tell them. They are such a riot when they get their lathers on…

 
 

And then, my friends, then comes the Shish-Kebabcalypse.

Can I get a side of tahini with that? Mmmmm…tahini.

 
 

More frightening is that TV news stations are incorporating “HD” into their names. Or am I misreading that.

 
 

I’m too old to have direct experience with the AT4 (I spent a few thousand tax dollars playing with M72s), but I believe it fires an unguided HEAT round. No wire guidance, no onboard IR seeker, you aim and shoot. Now the chances of someone, even with a few practice shots under their belt, being able to hit an airplane on the wing with an unguided rocket are, effectively, zero. Stingers and the like are a problem. Maybe even a TOW if you were close enough to the runway. But not an anti tank rocket. Even if this thing was hot, it’s much less a concern. You could certainly redecorate a police station with one, though…

I live about half a mile from Journal Sq. I used to live across the street from the Sq.

If this is what Damascus is like then I don’t know what all those people are worried about.
Except for the major influx of yuppies recently it’s really a very nice place. It’s your typical medium sized urban area. All religions & colors living & working together in relative harmony. Paterson is a different story. Much more run down, old industrial & shopping districts. Not the nicest city in NJ,but not the worst either, but way to many of the wrong type of people for the LGF crowd.

 
 

“Global Muslim Death Hitlers”

Gold bond medicated; it keeps them from getting too chafed after they’ve crapped their pants for the twenty-eighth time in a day.

Shish-Kebabcalypse

15 And lo when the seventh seal had been opened there was silence in heaven and earth for the span of about 20 minutes, give or take.

16 And strong angel appeared in heaven and in his hand were seven flaming skewers.

17 And the all the hosts of heaven and earth did worship, saying “Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb Kebab, but that creamy yoghurt sauce gives me the winds something awful.”

 
 

Yeah Psycheout, corn dogs give me the dry runs too.

Big_Iron is one step ahead, but only one… and in the competitive modern world of Evil Jihad that only gets you a job as a Disposable Henchman: you have to be two steps ahead if you hope for promotion all the way to Evil Genius.
OK class, this is a learning opportunity. Let’s see who’s been paying attention. When you’re planning a terrorist attack, what do you do even before probing the defenses & timing the responses?

mumble mumble

Speak up. You at the back, Peasmold. What’s your first step?

I discredit the citizen journalists.

Which citizen journalists?

The citizen investigative journalists who might otherwise, umm, nip my plan in the bud.

Very good, Peasmold. And how do you discredit them?

I create a phony website and post all manner of half-baked delusions there, in order to misdirect the open-minded, civic-spirited, clear-eyed observers like Big_Iron, get them crying Wolf several times a day, and generally make them look like brownshirt tossers.

That’s right. So what would you call this phony website?

Umm, Little Green Footballs?

No need to be ridiculous, Peasmold.

 
 

This has all the underpinnings of a CAIR set up.

Plant a useless ‘weapon’ on someone who may or may-not be a muslim, and wait for all the anti-islamic-backlash to start.

“I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me…”

 
 

Perhaps CAIR should be questioned, but this part did bother me:

Sources say Besai is not involved in the investigation as a suspect.

Every avenue of investigation which might pay dividends should be explored. Political correctness should not enter into the equation.

 
 

Man I wish I had a hot corn dog right now. When it’s softball season they sell corn dogs at the concession stand at the Little League field in Lutz. They’re so good, all hot, slightly crispy, you almost cry when you eat them out of sheer happiness.

 
 

Look, Mr. Kiernan, it’s a hot dog, a corn batter, a skewer and a fryer. We can MAKE them! And we can add cayenne pepper and herbs, plus we can use better sausages – why, we don’t need no stinking softball/carnival kinda thing. Let’s COOK!!

The M72 is in many ways superior – it packs more of a punch and goes further. The AT-4 is mostly “fire for effect.”

 
 

“Little Soldier”?

I suspect Jesus’ General is behind this.

 
 

The AT-4 is mostly “fire for effect.”

Hey, nuttin wrong with that. This was always my theory when they had the tracks use the Ma Deuce for “Recon by Fire”. If you could scare them away, I wouldn’t have to deal with them later. Big fan of BANG, BOOM, Smoke and fire, lots of Sturm und Drang, get some napalm down before sunset and just leave me alone fer crissakes. That’s my approach to warfare. Let somebody else fight ’em tonight…

A number of times I sat on top of a bunker, so rip-snortin stoned I couldn’t finish my warm beer, watching a battle a few klicks downrange, tracers bouncing around, grenade flashes, arty hitting behind the perimeter. Quite a sight, and it always made me feel safe and warm, ’cause they weren’t shooting at me. But I never thought about it ’til now, but they were fighting them over THERE so I didn’t have to fight them over HERE. Guess maybe there’s something to that, at least if you think in small terms…

Huzzah for the LiGiFers, for uncovering the powerful conspiracy to destroy our nation via gun shops, the NRA, the International Islamic Conspiracy, illegal immigration, Google, the animate corpse of Lee Harvey Oswald, and Tony Danza. No doubt someone could have put out an eye with that tube.

On the other hand, those militia guys who have actual arsenals of real actual guns n’ stuff? They’re John Doe.

 
 

“He is cunning, the Global Muslim. Cunning enough to plant a legal and harmless device on someone’s lawn just to lure us into a false sense of security. And then, my friends, then comes the Shish-Kebabcalypse.”

Now is the perfect time to invade, Kodos! The Earthlings will believe that it is just another hoax!”

“I go with the response time scenario… I have read enough and had enough military training to know that you don’t just jump in and do a dirty deed. You plan it out and cover all your bases before the appointed time.”

You ALSO try to not tip your hand about what you’re going to do.
Response time is a non-factor. You fire the thing and run; either it hits or it doesn’t. Unless there’s a well armed swat team sitting down the block, you’re not getting caught.

“Psycheout said,
Every avenue of investigation which might pay dividends should be explored. Political correctness should not enter into the equation.”

They probably interviewed her for about five minutes, if that long, before dismissing her as a possible suspect. If I’m firing a missile form my front lawn, I’m not leaving the damn tube lying there till morning.

 
 

This is textbook slapstick:

1. Idiot misapprehends Situation, jumps to Wild Conclusion
2. Long-Suffering Protagonist attempts to correct Idiot on Situation
3. Idiot is corrected on Situation, but still assumes now-unfounded Wild Conclusion; expresses bafflement that S doesn’t follow from WC.
4. cue laughter and spit-takes all around
It’s the kind of bit they routinely write for too-stupid-to-breathe characters like Mortimer Snerd or Bubble on Absolutely Fabulous. Debbie Schlussel does the same fucking thing.

 
 

Now, yer basic potato gun, that there’s one dangerous weapon.

Also, if you cut both ends off’n a bunch of coke cans (except one, keep the bottom on that, and then punch a little nail hole in it), then tape ’em together end to end, stuff a tennis ball into the open end and squirt some Aqua Net hairspray into the little nail hole, then light it with a match…oops, I may have said too much already.

If I’m firing a missile form my front lawn, I’m not leaving the damn tube lying there till morning.

The reasonable conclusion that I draw from this is that the guys kids were playing with it and left it on the lawn when they were done. Which is frightening in a whole other way.

 
 

No no noen,

Some Rethug in the area prolly threw it there to help start the “Inevitable Race War”.

At least, that’s my theory, and I’m sticking to it.

And I’d like the Lamb of God shishkabobcalypse with extra tsatsiki, please.

 
 

My favorite was the comment that maybe they fired it at something and missed. Yeah, like no one would have heard a rocket launcher being fired in their neighborhood.

 
 

But …but…but..I thought it was an Amurikan right to own missle launchers and guns an stuff.

And I’d like the Lamb of God shishkabobcalypse with extra tsatsiki, please.

Can I have some of those pink radishy pickles, too?

Journal Square in Jersey City is the home of the fabulous Loew’s Jersy City movie palace.

 
 

“If I’m firing a missile form my front lawn, I’m not leaving the damn tube lying there till morning.”

Don’t you see? That’s what they WANT you to think!!!

“Now the chances of someone, even with a few practice shots under their belt, being able to hit an airplane on the wing with an unguided rocket are, effectively, zero.”

What if the International Muslim Death Hitlers are really in league with the Illuminati, or possibly the Grey Aliens and they lent them some of their psychics to aim it with? Did you ever think of that?!

We’re through the looking glass here people.

 
 

I live in Jersey City, and the area that one commenter describes as “notorious for Islam” is, in the eyes of most here, instead “delicious for cheap good falafel and the best Halal you’ll find anywhere.”

But I guess most of us are living our lives and not on the lookout for the invading hordes of IslamoMexiHomoFascists.

 
 

Sorry, TR, but you fail to see the obvious: LGFers have no lives to live. This is why they’re looking…desperately looking…anywhere…for evidence that their xenophobia has some kind of basis in reality. Does it?

Sadly, No.

 
 

OK people. I need some help here.

I just ate an entire box of Kraft macaroni and cheese.

And washed it down with a bottle of French champagne.

My spouse is out at a blues club. My kid is at a pool party in Santa Monica.

I just learned via email that an old friend I’d lost touch with has died of pneumonia after being unable to care for himself because he was suffering from dementia.

I am corresponding with all our common friends.

This is sad.

 
 

All this fuss over an empty tube…duuudzzz! It’s Harry Potter day! Where’s the obligatory Harry Potter post? You know, something about Jonah Goldberg champing at the bit outside the bookstore at 11:59 PM, or an in-depth comparison of Cheny to Voldemort, or something…

Jeez, at least write about terrorism in Harry Potter, if you have to write about terrorism…

 
 

@Herr Doktor Bimler:

Peasmold? Peasmold??
Are you telling us Screwtape is involved in this? Is this class held under the auspices of Slubgob?

But I thought those guys were Christians.

I must be getting confused.

 
 

Besai’s neighbor, Joe Quinn, saw her pointing at the equipment… [w]hen he walked over to see what the fuss was about, he was just as shocked to see the six-foot-long weapon… “She’s pointing that there’s something in the front … I said, ‘Let me come down and take a look,’ and I saw a little soldier on it and I said, ‘Whoa, that’s a missile launcher or something!’”

I think I saw this movie.

 
 

My question on the “fired it and missed” is, of course, where the fleeping fuck would the ‘miss’ go? If it was fired, shouldn’t there be, I don’t know, something that had been in fact, fired someplace?

Or do missiles just vanish into the luminous aether when they don’t hit an object? Is there a failure of gravity, which keeps the fired missile in the air instead of, I dunno, landing and blowing something else up?

Seriously sorry for your loss, too. I didn’t notice your comment, and I’m sorry for that to.

Thanx Gavin for calling attention.

If it helps, when my younger brother died, I found a bottle of vodka followed by sleeping on the bathroom floor was helpful.

Psycheout : Perhaps CAIR should be questioned…

So, what, everytime a car backfires within a mile of a suspected muslim we should haul in some other people who have fuck all to do with it and accuse them of kidnapping the Lindberg baby?

God you’re a prick.

 
 

Thanks, y’all.

I wrote a message to my friend’s grown son. I wrote some other friends to see if maybe we can donate some $$ to maybe have a bench dedicated in a park near where we all used to work together.

It’s weird to think of someone who was your peer dying of, basically, Alzheimers. He wasn’t really all that old. i mean – I used to hang with him. I went out clubbing with him. Before he died, he was seen picking soda cans out of trash bins on the street. So sad.

I fed most of the Kraft mac & cheese to the dogs.

Anyway – back to the atrocities of wingnuttia.

 
 

If there was no report of live fire, no report of damage to anything in the neighborhood or overhead and the item found is perfectly legal, what exactly was there to investigate? A case of dumping? I’m sure the fine will be substantial. They’ll assign a detective and two uniforms to the case at least.

I want this kind of investigation of the huge dog turds that occasionally appear behind our garage.

Good luck brother.

PS: Don’t poison your canine friends with that shit neither.

Remember: bottle…vodka…bathroom…floor.

 
 

g: That blows. Hard. Lost my mother a few months back (No, I haven’t found her yet, smart-asses) so I’m sort of having a pity party here in WeHo (not quite like a pool party in SM, but not completely different) but I’m pausing for a moment to send some non-religious positive whatever toward you. It’s a grim world we live in, not made any easier by things like this where your friend should have been helped, rather than reduced to scavenging. IIRC, you once typed that you lived in Seattle. Miss the rain yet? I never thought I would, but after almost 35 yrs. here in Hellthe Southland I do.
Before this turns into FireDogLake, I’m outta here, but doing something in memory of your friend is the best/only thing you can do, whether park bench or just remembering him, ’cause the memories of the still-living are the true afterlife once we’re gone. (Or something.)

P. S.: They get US$250.00 for a now useless tube w/ a sight on it @ that surplus website? Damn, that’s my next get rich quick scheme.

I think Big_Iron means to say “powdered rye”, which is (according to Google) a common ingredient in Finnish cooking… while “head down” refers to the feathers taken from the head of the eider duck. So this is obviously a recommendation from Big_Iron that his readers hang on to their Finnish culture.

Sorry about your friend g. I’ve got an old friend who’s gone off the rails in recent years due to mental illness and I’m dreading getting a sad phone call about him one day. If he could only get some help and get better I wouldn’t even care if he went back to his old wingnut ways. I’d love to argue with him again.

And I don’t know much about Journal Square but I was in Astoria last night and the place was crawling with teh Musselmans. Sitting around drinking coffee, playing with their kids, tending to their stores. It was fucking terrifying.

How about ongoing “The ‘John Doe’ Outrage”??? Basically the wingnuts want to be able to accuse anyone they like of terrorism, get the person yanked off a plane or whatever, with total impunity. You would think the wannabe heroes would want full accountability for their acts. But no, they want the credit if it goes right and the immunity if it goes wrong. Can you imagine the paranoid’s field day the loons would have if they knew there was an act of Congress giving them a free ride in detecting terrorists under their beds?

 
 

Any al-Qaeda who attempted to sneak under the bed of an LGFer would surely drown in the puddle of urine.

Powder dry?

Is the LGF mob using muskets? Cannons? Perhaps the wily blunderbuss?

thepoliticalcat replies: I think they’re referring to the talcum powder in their Pampers, dear.

 
 

Since these spent tubes are unregulated and readily available, then what would stop a wingnut from getting hold of one and planting it somewhere (like in someone’s yard) in an attempt to use it as a talking point to sell their wingnut brand of fearmongering?

Just a thought. Remember, the wingnuts tend to believe what is first reported on Faux News and Drudge, and since these type of outlets never correct any fact-challenged reports they may be spinning, then wingnut viewers never learn that they were lied to in the initial report.

It’s all about keeping the fear juggernaut rolling. About a month after the 9/11 attacks, some wingnuts mailed lethal anthrax to some Democratic Party senators’ offices. Shortly after this lethal mailing, other wingnuts started sending copy-cat non-lethal powder-filled mailings to other liberal individuals or organizations, which has not stopped to this day.

Pump up the fear. Keep the fear rolling. And except for a few stories about these thousands of domestic “terrorist” mailings sprinkled throughout the news media, most people don’t realize the magnitude of this ongoing “terrorist” mailing wingnut campaign in our country.

It’s wingnut terroristm “on the cheap.” An envelope, some powder and a stamp.

And with the Ashcroft and Gonzales Justice Department apparently more interested in phantom voter fraud cases, one wonders how much time has been spent by Justice in trying to trackdown these homegrown, wingnut, domestic terrorists who’ve sent powder-filled envelopes to Bill Clinton’s Harlem office and Al Gore’s Tennessee office, to name just two high-profile terrorist mailings reported in the past several years.

The wingnuts have perverted the truth. They’ve perverted justice. They’ve perverted our democracy. I hadn’t realized there were so many sociopathic conservatives running around loose in our society.

 
 

I like the “maybe someone shot it and missed” angle — how do we know there’s NOT a huge area in Jersey City that was scorched by the backblast?

If the firer had been aiming at a plane, they’d have to stand near the edge of a roof, or have a big hole handy — OR! — the story didn’t say that there WASN’T a huge burned area on the lawn or that the launcher was not being held by a mostly-carbonized human briquette, did it?

Just what is the liberal media trying to hide?

 
 

This Shish-Kababcalypse that’s coming, a new Caribbean restaurant? A Haitian dinner band?

Can’t wait!!
