Major Terror Ring Or ‘Al Qaeda Lite’?
The same people who told us that Zacarias Moussaoui was the 20th hijacker and that Jose Padilla was building a radiological bomb now are telling us that they’ve foiled a legitimate terror plot to take down the Sears Tower in Chicago. Maybe yes. Maybe no. I’ll wait for the trial to decide.

Miami Seven Stand Accused of Thought Crime
In regard to arrested Nuwaubians in Miami, Time Magazine writes: ‘The arrested men appear to be part of a cult organization proclaiming itself to be Muslim, although a member of the same religious group says it is, in fact, based on a homebrew of Islam and Christianity, and calls itself ‘Seas of David.’ Its members, mainly Americans and Haitan (sic) immigrants, clearly have an enthusiasm for emulating and following al-Qaeda. But their only ‘connection’ with al-Qaeda appears to have been the fact that a government informant who had infiltrated their ranks had apparently convinced the alleged conspirators that he was, in fact, a Qaeda operative. The oaths of allegiance to the organization alleged by the indictment to have been taken by the accused were administered not by any representative of the organization, but to a U.S. government agent posing as a Qaeda operative.’
In other words, they were entrapped, same as the ‘terrorists’ in Ottawa.
It is now apparently a crime to have ‘enthusiasm for emulating and following al-Qaeda,’ absurd as this is on its face, especially for members of a cult not strictly based on ‘Islam and Christianity,’ as the stenographers at Time would have us believe.
Nuwaubianism is an odd melange of Madame Blavatsky influenced spiritualism and alien cryptozoology, among other things, and is not based on Sunni fundamentalism. Nuwaubianism is counter to the austere monotheism of Wahhabism and no doubt an operative from ‘al-Qaeda would find the religion heretical and his young charges unacceptable for a holy war against the United States.
