Wall Street Warned About a New Kind of Jihad
Source: CNBC

Wall Street firms received briefings from US security officials about a potential threat after the publication of the most recent issue of Inspire Magazine ran a cover story advocating jihadists target banks and other institutional wealth centers.

The briefings took place in January, according to NBC news. The fourth issue of Inspire was published on January 16 or so.

Jim Margolin, a spokesman for the FBI, seems to be trying to quell fears that might arise from news of the briefing.

"In post-9/11 world we routinely give security briefings to security personnel in various parts of the private sector. This was in the course of a periodic update in the evolving threat stream," Jim Margolin, spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in New York, told Reuters "I would stress that it's our belief that the information that was discussed was not imminent, not specific.”

Goes on to talk about how Inspire had an article about Mujaheddin embezzling from the West as a form of Jihad.

In that case, I would remind those out there who would follow this plan that while Mohamed will NOT go to prison, most that commit theft or embezzlement do.

5. Pfft
Any terrorists who want to destroy America should be paying salaries to Wall Street banks, not attacking them.

6. Well, to be fair, the Twin Towers were financial centers, so it's not a strange idea.
Not that I disagree with you, our ruling elites are doing superb job of turning us into a tin-pot despotism.

8. Righty-right!
Our corporate oligarchy are professionally dismantling everything we had left. The only help they need would be "events" that continue to erode any powers and protections we had.

I'm absolutely convinced that this is a tipping point, and it if were not for the word magic spell and visual simulation of the overbearing and religiously dominant corporate media spinning its self-serving web of delusions, the true nature of our circumstances and potential, resulting fate would be so obvious that the activity behind our demise would inspire revolution here.

7. Any publication using the word "jihadist" as if it's a real word and not some
bizarro neo-con neologism should not be taken seriously.

9. Great news!

This means that all of the bankers/traders/politicians/whoever that are found
embezzling now can be arrested, jailed without charge and tortured on suspicion
of being a terrorist!

Woo-hoo!
