[Behind the Aegis]

Source: CBS Houston

HOUSTON (CBS Houston) Officials are taking no chances with two different Houston-area synagogues after bomb threats were made.

Bomb threats were phoned in to two different Houston synagogues, resulting in their schools cancelling classes on Thursday, authorities stated.

Officials with the Houston Police Department indicated that the threats were made around lunchtime Wednesday. With a quick and calculated response to the treats, officers found no evidence of bombs on the campuses upon arrival.

1. This usually happens around Yom Kippur

Ugh...

4. Yom Kippur is a ways off, so I wonder what the motivation is/was.

It of course could be Israel related (recent Independence Day and Yom Ha'shoah). Then again, it could be just a bunch of festering buttholes.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

7. It could also be the sabre rattling Israel is doing with Iran...

A lot of the Secessionist Libertarian 10thers HATE the idea of tax dollars going to support Israel.

They feel the ONLY time money should be spent on the military is to fight off a foreign invasion. (You know,...like Mexico is doing RIGHT NOW!!!)

17. Probably a spurious correlation, but there's an NRA convention in Houston.

6. I am kind of hoping someone from Houston chimes in.

They may know if other bomb threats have been called into other places. I tried a Google search on bomb threats in Houston and this story kept popping up.

8. well I Googled Bomb threats Houston TX and came up with a couple of recent ones

still all the same I hope they catch who ever is responsible for this one

9. Thanks for the info.

I must have "Googled" wrong. They could all be related or not. It would be interesting to see if there is a connection, but I hope who ever made the calls/threats is apprehended.

[azurnoir]

10. well they could be related

a Synagogue the courthouse and a Catholic Collage could all be some supremacist group or something or I could be

[Behind the Aegis]

11. Wasn't there a DA who was murdered there and white supremacists were blamed?

Was that Houston? In this day and age, so many things are possible. Hell, it could be a bunch of juvenile delinquents.

[azurnoir]

12. well the idea that it was white supremacists in the DA murder

has been floated but I don't think any arrests have been made in that one

but your right in this day and age it could be any of a number of things -from some kids making 'thrill threats' to an organized group of some sort

[maddezmom]

14. Arrests have been made

16. I'm a little surprised

I can only speak for the synagogue I usually attend, but there's a very strong relationship between the police and Houston area synagogues as far as I am aware. When they say they've stepped up security, I whole-heartedly believe it.

The one I normally attend always has police on site. I think there may have been prior bomb threats years ago pretty much coinciding with Israel related events. Whenever a threat does come in, they are not taking lightly by any means. The police do a very good job of thoroughly investigating any threats of that nature.

I'm surprised by the timing as, again, the threats that I'm aware of have coincided with Israel related news stories. Also, one of the synagogues is located in a heavy Jewish community, but the other one is not one I've thought of as heavily Jewish. I'm surprised at which synagogues received the threats.

21. That would be me, see my other reply this thread.

Plenty of anti-semitism in the false flag videos on the Boston bombing. Alex Jones quickly made the Israeli claim. Others claim the bombing was a joint operation by Obama, the FBI and Mossad working at the orders of the 'Zionist Bankster Cabal and AIPAC.' Such speech results in violence world wide. This article came out early:

Alex Jones: Suspects “look Israeli”

The conspiracy broadcaster wonders if the Jewish state may have had something to do with the Boston bombings

By Alex Seitz-Wald

In a video posted early this morning laying out a baroque narrative we can’t make heads or tails of, conspiracy broadcaster Alex Jones came dangerously close to espousing a Jewish conspiracy theory, speculating that the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing might be Israelis.

Claiming that he had identified the suspect who remains at large, Jones boasted, “the media doesn’t even have this yet. The FBI will probably give it to them in a day.” In fact, the AP and cable news networks identified the two suspects just two or three hours later as Chechen brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

But despite supposedly knowing the ID of the suspect, Jones wasn’t above speculating about their nationality. “These guys kind of look like Israelis. I’m not saying Israel is involved in it, we don’t have any evidence of that. It’s just that they kind of look Israeli,” he said while pointing to an image of the suspects on a computer screen. He added that they could be “North African” or “Spanish-Muslims.” He did not speculate they were Chechens.

He also called MIT, where the suspects reportedly killed a police officer, “mind control central.”

Video in question here:

FBI Orders You Not To Look At This!

He's got fans everywhere and says this stuff 24/7. Next month is his annual radio show talking about how the Israelis bombed the USS Liberty. It's no mystery what breeds this.

22. Those posts popped up here too.

More than a few claimed Israel was involved, or implied it (or Mossad). It is a special kind of bigotry. Though, I doubt it had anything with the bomb threats; of course, like I said above, it could be anything.

[freshwest]

23. Alex is big in Texas, along with Beck, Rush, etc. Lived there too long to ignore it.

[Behind the Aegis]

24. Really?! I didn't know this.

I had no idea he had a following in Texas. How very frightening.

[freshwest]

25. He's based in Austin. Big Ron Paul, Tea Party guy. Check the SPLC webpage on him.

Beck now lives in the DFW area. Fox News is the most watched station, Clear Channel runs radio. Not everyone in the state buys into this stuff, but it's no mystery who elected the Tea Party's Cruz and Gohmert. Jones claims to be a libertarian. He's had John Birch Society spokesmen on his show, and thinks that the NRA isn't tough enough, he promotes Larry Pratt and the GOA instead. He says BPA in plastic bottles is to turn men gay as part of the NWO to control the world and reduce the population, and a lot more.

[freshwest]

13. I have family and friends who attend Beth Israel on North Braeswood.

[rusty fender]

18. NRA convention link?

The presence of this convention in Houston brings an intense on concentration of crazies. I would bet that many of the gun nuts equate Jews with supporting gun control. Farfetched, I know, but possible...
