Yemen Terror Plane Could Have Exploded In UK Or US

The alleged Al Qaeda plot, regarding sending ink cartridges containing explosives, via UPS cargo plane, from Yemen to the midlands, in Britain and separately America, highlights two things. Firstly, as the Judiciary Report stated last year, terrorists have a fixation with the midlands in Britain.

MI6 intercepted terror plot using an asset

The comment was made in the March 29, 2009 Judiciary Report article, "EU Panel Slams British PM Gordon Brown" where the site stated, "What is going on in the Midlands? So much anti-British sentiment from pro-terrorism people. Something very bad is going to come out of there if the government does not clamp down on that."

Incompetent FBI Director, Robert S. Mueller (left) and U.S. President Barack Obama (right). There could be a weapon of mass destruction up Mueller's butt and he still wouldn't know where to find it!

Secondly, Yemen, has truly become a terrorist hotbed. It is troubling that Homeland Security and the FBI missed this most recent plot, which was intercepted by MI6 in Britain. Many hoped with Barack Obama in office, it would strengthen America's ties in the Muslim world and lead to more terrorist tips, to avert disaster, but it has not, due to the damage former president, George W. Bush, caused in the region. Middle Eastern Muslims are still angry over Bush's conduct and taking it out on America and its allies.

Britain Intercepts Terrorist Bomb Headed For America

The United Kingdom's keen intelligence service, MI-6, intercepted suspicious packages, reportedly containing ink cartridge bombs, originating from Yemen, routed through the mid-lands in England, on their way to a Jewish synagogue in the United States.

The packages were sent via cargo planes, through American carrier UPS, destined for the U.S. state of Illinois, where President Obama has a home. The timing of this incident is also suspicious, as it falls a few days before the U.S. midterm elections.

Retailers Reprove Chris Brown

Chris Brown jumping to conclusions

After Chris Brown's undignified tirade against retailers, for "blackballing" his CD, the Sony singer's allegations have been slammed by representatives for a few of the stores he accused of misconduct.

As stated on December 12, 2009, the Judiciary Report is not of the belief retailers have not been stocking Brown's CD. Today's sales numbers indicate Brown's CD has underperformed in a terrible way, selling roughly 100,000 copies in its debut week. I hear UPS has a good dental plan, Chris.

Chris Brown's Twitter Rant Against Retailers Rings False

December 14, 2009 6:25 EST - Chris Brown's rant that U.S. music retailers are boycotting his new album "Grafitti," appears to be unfounded. Brown took to his Twitter account -- which is now inactive -- over the weekend to complain about the fulfillment and display of his album in a series of posts...

He also noted specifically that he "JUST WAS AT WALMART IN Wallingford CT,844 north colony.. the didnt even have my album in the back... not on shelves, saw for myself."

A survey and store visits find that Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Trans World, Newbury Comics are all carrying the Brown record and sources say that his album received widespread distribution and promotion by his label, Jive Records, and his distributor, Sony Music Entertainment. Jive shipped over 400,000 units of "Graffiti," and also had it positioned in prime stores space at all key accounts, according to sources. In fact, sources suggest that Jive may have overshipped his record, as sales are slow.

'Overstocked'

"Not only am I carrying it, I am over carrying it, because it isn't selling," says the head of purchasing at one large chain. "I wish I could return it." He says the album's first week sales only reached 40% of expectations. At 27-unit Newbury Comics, Carl Mello head of purchasing, echoes that sentiment. "We have it; it's not selling much." ...

Nevertheless, "we brought in the new album because you know you are going to sell some," Mello says. "We let the consumer vote on it."

And so far, consumers aren't flocking to stores to vote on behalf of Brown. Sources project that Brown sold about 100,000 units last week, well below the 150,000-175,000 units he was expected to sell. Mello says that the album is probably about the No. 40 best-selling title at the chain.

Even Wal-Mart -- which was singled out by Brown on Twitter as one of the so-called merchants boycotting his record because the Wallingford, Conn., store didn't have it in stock -- says they are carrying the Brown album. "We are surprised at the comments on Twitter, since all Walmart stores carried the CD since its release, including the Wallingford store mentioned in the post. This store had in fact sold through their copies over the weekend. The majority of our stores are showing today they have copies on hand."

Likewise Billboard found plenty of Brown in stock at Best Buy in Union Square and on Broadway by Houston Street, in Manhattan, as well as at the J&R Music World superstore in downtown Manhattan. Jive declined to comment.
