Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
 

I see your point: http://archives.cnn.com/2002/US/05/2...k.paper.trail/

Amazing, huh?


WTF? Do you really believe that? Seriously? Or did you just make that up to try to defend your position? In the last year, during my three long trips there, I've seen more than a hundred arabs checking into the Jeddah Intercontinental. All credit. No cash. Not once. Also mostly credit cards at the Tahlia street shopping malls there. I won't even go into the heavy credit card use in Europe.

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
 

Roger that but the missing link I cant establish between the two is this:

Our credit reporting system is soley based and tracked for citizens of the USA and those that have a SSN# (green card holders, etc). Right? Now, having said that:

99.9% of Terrorism is financed by black market activities outside the USA none of which you will find in our Credit Reporting system here in the USA. If you are late paying your drug or arms dealer he can not report you to any of our 3 credit reporting agencies. He has other means of getting you to pay ;)

99.9% of Terrorists are not citizens of the USA. They do not have a SSN# to report under to keep track of or any sort of credit history here in the USA.

So to me, it seems very silly to need to go looking into our credit records to find something that we know isnt there.

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
 

Investigators have traced 27 credit cards to the 19 men who hijacked four airliners and crashed them into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field, killing thousands, the source said.


Hmmmmmmmmmmm, thats enough evidence for me. Like I said. If you have nothing to hide then who gives a shlt. So what if they see you got 10 hookers in Vegas one weekend or bought a pocket pu$$y at the local adult superstore. They aint looking for you and wont give a crap. Let them snoop all they want.

But its painfully OBVIOUS terrorist use credit cards.


Thanks Hawk:)

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
 

Read you link and i belive you are making the point again about credit card use. Which is not what we are talking about. Credit History.


No, most of my inlaws and friends are from eastern europe and they do not use credit cards like we do here. Again this is not what we are talking about but yea, I travel there alot, in fact I leave this Thursday to go visit and will be there for 3 weeks. I usually go once or twice a year.

Jesus bparker. Are you hiding something you are afraid will be found???????

If not then who cares

Holy $hit for the love of gawd alah and whom ever else we can put here.

The article was not about C R E D I T C A R D S it was about your C R E D I T H I S T O R Y.

hahahahahaha

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
 

Thats the whole point for me.. there is nothing there to see so why make a law to see it? Thats why it was funny.. and to think we are so stupid to name it "in the acts of terrorism we need to do this" is just even more funny.

I guess "we" really are to a point of "paranoia" - holy sheet I see I am the very evident minority here and just tuning in.

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
 

I don't know about your 99.99999% cites. That sounds made up too.

I'm not an expert on this, but I imagine 49.999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of foreign terrorist have some credit history here: http://www.usimmigrationsupport.org/creditcard.html
I seriously doubt that any reasonably intelligent foreigner would be using a Yemeni credit card in the U.S. at this point.

Also, maybe the credit reports help with this kind of thing:

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
 

I surrender - I give in - lets just let govt and any police offical do what ever they want to us without any question as to why they want to do it.

Holy fawk I thought I would never see the day where the citizens were asking for less freedom.

Ok, I am on the bus now. Fuk it let them do what ever they want I wont ask "WHY" again.

hahahahaha :beerchug:

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
 

ha! get your finger out of your nose Dennis you might need that..

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
 

Well maybe thats the link I dont understand.

Maybe our creditors are now offering credit so freely to anyone here and abroad with or without a SSN# that is where the link is established.

But ya my 99.99999 estimate is not fact =)

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
 

What is the difference between saying credit cards and credit history exactly? They aren't looking at the plastic itself. The article says, It's all about records- again I'll quote:


Records> Records that track movement and financial sponsors of cells and individuals infiltrated in our country and abroad with very bad intentions.

What does credit history mean to you exactly?

No matter that your purchases, habits and history is well documented and reviewed by the institutions that will it.

I am grateful for our offensive defense and the innovation that has taken place to do just that.

IMHO, the scenario of "Why?" with the conclusion "It's wrong." Without a shred of knowledge on the subject or any "solution" to the supposed wrong doing for the sake of the country has become an all too familiar route with certain individuals and parties. This is unfortunate.

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
 

bparker,

You've always known my position on governments and I've found some of your topics interesting, I might of been swinging along side. What some of us don't get is which side are you on? You're either swinging from one end to the other. That is the reason members here are not taking you seriously anymore.

And don't flake out so easily when people disagree!:giggling:


But I think you're special!!!!! :clapping:

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
 

Ahh, the difference would be (to me) would be Credit and Banking History in this case would be reffering the Credit Reporting institutions for lines of credit, (secured and unsecured) loans, business loans, propery loans pretty much anything with a large "credit line" associated with it that would not show as a "credit transaction" and to how well we have handeled those lines of credit. Thats about all I can think of that the 3 agencies" could offer up as far as info.

Where as, credit cards are merely a financial transaction when you make a purchase which is already tracked and reported on. We have given "the govt" lawful access to this data years ago.

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
 

I am on neither side. I just like to understand why? And I personally feel to use the line in the name of terror we need to do this is so gay and over played in this case. Not in every case though, some things they have done are (I feel) for the greater good.

So, I was hoping someone could come along and connect the dots with a reasonable explination. But all I got was a lousy Doritios T-Shirt..... :D

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
 

I personally have not, and I do not know anyone who has, lost any freedoms here. What ?freedoms? have we lost? The ?we don?t know how much we?ve lost, but it might be tremendous if only we knew? theory just seems ludicrous to me after my recent trips. People there (and the Saudi populous has a lot more freedoms than much of the world) KNOW they aren?t free because they cannot do a lot of the basic things we do every day (e.g., drinking, watching women drive, attending a non-Muslim church, accessing large portions of the Internet). I suspect if you don?t even know that your freedoms have been infringed, you probably haven?t lost a lot in the grand scheme, especially in wartime. The mere suspicion that someone might look at your library card or credit history, compared to the rigid and punitive limitations imposed on much of the world?s populous seems beyond negligible to me, especially in wartime. Between Zacarias Moussaoui?s August 16, 2001 arrest and September 11, we did not search his laptop computer out of respect for his rights. Wouldn?t want to do that, it might infringe on a civil liberty. Never mind what the families of the 3,000 who died as a consequence might think about that.

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
 

Okay, so I see what you mean.

But the requests are for suspected people only and if they are submitted a subpeona- those suspects would be onto the investigation itself and the operation would be botched on that individual.

Where as before an investigative agency would let you know prior to an investigation via subpeona.

Where as you or me as an individual would have one look at this 'history' if we were to apply for a loan of some sort.

I can see where, yes, allowing an agency to view records without your knowledge or subpeona can be viewed as a threat to some with privacy/law issues. The credit card transactions- the same.

It seems harmless to me in this situation, especially if they had the go ahead for the other measures. They could be able to look anyway if they wanted. You would just know about it first.

Why?:

There could be loans for flight school tuition, cars, vans, planes. Paid for by someone else outside the country or obtained with co-signers affiliated with a known terror group. Cash would draw attention, therefore the standard loan/credit and the records would show the trail.

I believe it is more about the sponsorship. The "martyrs" have a free life scholarship for their duties so to speak.

Re: Terrorists dont use credit to buy WMD!?!?
 

Let's just close our borders, deport ALL muslims, and nuke that damn place.:rant:

OK, that may be a little impracticle. How about some drive-bys. That'll work.:rant:

BTW, bparker is a terrorist.:giggling:

True, they want to fit in as best as possible.
