EARTHQUAKE WATCH 2008

I figured that title might get a few extra hits from Google. Here in L.A. the same thing happens with the news whether it is a few sprinkles and we have STORM WATCH 2008 (Camera shows a puddle with drops of rain hitting it), a hillside fire, FIRESTORM WATCH 2008 (Stock footage of Malibu fire) or a trembler that knocks some cans and jars off some store shelves, EARTHQUAKE WATCH 2008 (Concerned newsreader asking, "How will the aftershocks affect YOU? We'll tell you at ten!"

Don't want to sound blase' concerning tragedies but after a certain point...

Even Reuters has this story listed on their website as, "reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/idUSN29374340"

Anyway. My story for EARTHQUAKE WATCH 2008 is:

I was pushing by hand a 4 wheeled cart loaded with paper (I work at a printing shop) across a blacktop parking lot and I missed the earthquake. The only vibrations I felt were from the loaded cart and I was traveling in the same direction the quake was going. That is, from east to west.

When I came through the door into the shop all the hanging fluorescent lamps were swinging and I thought, "This load isn't that heavy to cause that much vibration." - Once again proving I'm always right! -

I'm located around 50 miles from the quake's epicenter and from talking with those that felt it there was a rolling sensation such as one would feel on a road with several close small hills and valleys. Sometimes there are sharp jolts as a corduroy dirt road might give you but today's was not one of those.

P. S. My daughter missed it too. She was at her work.

Update: Wifey-poo missed it too. - Hey that rhymes!!!

San Francisco Rampage MSM Coverage

Regarding Omeed Popal. The Hit and Run Driver who mowed down Jews in San Francisco. - Once again I left a comment on another site - Verum Serum - and decided to bring it over here. (Slightly modified for clarification on a point.)

The way the media handled this one just shows that they cannot be trusted to give us ALL the facts. That the guy was a Muslum rolling over people in a predominately Jewish Neighborhood might have deserved a mention from the get go.

Most I've learned about this came from blogs. Bloggers doing the work that used to be the job of investigative reporters.

Not once on the radio news have I heard about his aiming to kill people on the steps of a Jewish Community Center. Thank God that through the entire rampage there was only one killed.

Now they will declare him nuts and that's it. We will hear no more.

One thing I did yesterday and will continue today is to ask people if they heard about this event. Let them know that it is considered 'road rage' and not a 'hate crime' to run over Jews (and whoever else is in the way) in America.

Those I talked to yesterday, blacks, whites, browns all agreed that it sounds like a "hate crime" to them.

I'm telling people that the liberal town of San Francisco has a mayor that considers rolling over Americans "Road Rage". That the man stated he was a terrorist and a policeman said he isn't because not all those injured were Jews. I want the same policeman to tell those that had the SUV bearing down on them that they were not feeling terror...

I'm hoping that by sharing this bit of news with people, news the MSM is not sharing, might help direct their thoughts this coming election period to the fact that terrorism is in America in a more subtle way than we know (if you want to call this subtle) and that the Liberal Progressive MSM is screening it from us.

Of course the Liberal Progressive MSM would say it is for our own good.

So What! They Are Only jews...

I'm ticked! - A descendent of Arab origins runs over people in predominantly Jewish neighborhoods and what does the MSM say???

Had this happened in a known homosexual district of San Francisco by some Texan We would hear about it. If it was a black neighborhood in L.A. or New York by a follower of Duke the news would be blaring the fact. Had it been an AmerIndian reservation by anybody they would report it...


Once again I ask, "What does the MSM say???...
Headlines:

Mercury News -
One dead, at least 15 hurt in hit-and-run rampage

S.F Chronical/SFGate -
Up to 14 hurt in SF hit-and-run spree
1 critical; driver believed to have struck, killed a man in Fremont earlier

Bloomberg -
San Francisco Motorist Drives Into Pedestrians, Injuring 13

Forbes.Com/Associated Press -
1 Dead, 13 Injured in Hit-And-Run Spree

Not one of these mentioned that it was predominatly Jewish neighborhoods. This person finally identified (no thanks to the P.D. who knew but wouldn't tell) through license plate I.D. as Omeed Popal of Fremont, CA rolled over people.

and Thank God only one died (so far). I'm sure the relatives of the one dead and those injured plus their loved ones wish it had not happened but it did.

The picture above is from a wedding photo believed to be around two weeks ago (from time of this posting - 8/30/06 -) shows "Omeed Aziz Popal" with his new bride Nahid - who might be thrilled with the newfound status - Apparently she is still in Afghanistan after their arranged marraige... -


Running a Google Search on the name Omeed Popal (no quotes - only 13 hits at this point in time!!!) - I came up with one traffic case in Turlock, CA (might be or might not be the same person. It is the same name...) - A German page of 2006 graduates from some school that was non related to anything here AND pages related to the Middle East (Afghanistan in particular)...

OK! So we have someone with a Middle Eastern background running over people in Jewish neighborhoods with an SUV and then WE HAVE - the mayor of Frisco in a long and boring press release - saying, "ROAD RAGE" was the cause!

A cousin is quoted as saying he was on meds but missed taking them...

This is not related to ''international relations'' the mayor newgate (who is proof that FRISCO is the home to fruits, flakes and nuts at least as far as voters go!) sez as an appeal to the MSM to not dig any deeeper.

PRYING1 sez: (please note the caps I placed in the prying part of my online name - I'm shouting here to ask others to do their own bit in this PRYING game. - I normally prefer being humble w/lower case/ie prying...1...)

What we may have here is the MSM covering up for a terrorist action. Note the singular! TERRORIST! This is not the first time. The shooter in Washington State was a supposed loner who targeted a Jewish 'hangout' less than two months ago! What has the MSM said about that bit of crappola recently? - LET ME HEAR YOU!!! - - (SILENCE) - What was on the news today? - Katrina one year after! - and a non-event - Hurricane/Tropical Storm Ernesto! - Nothing about a man of Middle Eastern descent between the ages of 18-45 running over American citizens in predominantly Jewish neighborhoods in San Francisco.

Not one word from these jokers on the MSM asking the obvious questions, "if this could be terrorist related." The relatives come out saying he is nuts - A cousin of the suspect, Zarghona Ramish, said Popal was a good guy, but had mental problems. - Popal "thought the devil was coming to get him," Ramish said. -

But not one word from the MSM asking the tough questions. I'm certain they don't want to offend anyone and as a result will let the tough questions go unasked. Move along! Move along! Nothing to see here!

Although if we are to believe newcomb it is not a "HATE CRIME" like it would be if it were homosexuals or blacks targeted. Not that I am in favor of any hate crime legislation but the people up there in Frisco sure are quick to dump water on the suggestion. And this before there is any opportunity to check the motives of Popal.

So What! They Are Only jews...

What we might have might be a single nutball operating on his own. OR we might have the beginnings of a new form of attacking America. Sleeper cells of one stepping out of 'character' to kill infidels then run under the cover of insanity. - And the MSM does no follow up. We are expected to keep our head in the sand...

"Kill a few jews here or there. The christian infidels won't care." After all. They didn't stop Auschwitz. Why should they stop this form of warfare? - They won't because the MSM won't reveal the truth! It was Jewish neighborhoods this fellow was in running over people!!!

I don't know if this is really terrorist related and none of us will if the powers that be sweep this under the rug. Which it seems they are intent on doing...


Hat tip to Hugh Hewitt - - - check Hugh's posting on this subject....

Update:
Sweetness and Light has a piece on this 'unfortunate accident'

Update: CBS5.com had this piece on Omeed Popal's 5th Court appearance (article Dated 22 Nov 06)

-0-

A man accused of running down 18 people in an alleged hit-and-run rampage in August has responded well to new medication and is competent to stand trial, a San Francisco Superior Court judge ruled today.

Omeed Aziz Popal, a 29-year-old Fremont man, smiled and offered greetings to his family for the first time in his fifth court appearance today and answered two questions asked by Judge Mary Morgan with clear affirmatives.

Deputy Public Defender Sandy Feinland said the change was due to a positive reaction to new medication. After the hearing, Feinland told reporters the new medication "relieved a lot of his symptoms," though he would not expound on Popal's condition.

Popal is charged with 18 counts of attempted murder in connection to an Aug. 29 incident in which the driver of a black Honda Pilot struck several people on sidewalks and streets in the northern end of San Francisco. Popal is awaiting trial in Alameda County for the alleged hit-and-run murder of man in Fremont earlier that day.

Morgan ordered Popal's psychological report to be filed confidentially with the court and said that criminal proceedings had been reinstated.

Inside the courtroom, Popal's family and friends occupied three rows of seats and reacted with a gasp as the judge made the announcement. They refused to comment as they left the courtroom.

Popal waived his right to a quick and speedy trial today and he is expected to return to department 12 at the Hall of Justice at 9 a.m. on Dec. 5 to set a date for pretrial hearings. Popal has not yet entered a plea.
