Pulse jihad massacre victim’s mother: “[Noor Mateen] knew jihad was imminent”

36

The notoriously leftwing/pro-Islamic buries the lede, of course. This is the last line of the article: “She married a guy knowing he wanted to commit a jihad,” Leinonen said. “And she accepted all those gifts. He’s spending $26,000 when he only makes $30,000 in a year and getting all his ducks in a row, making her payable upon his death. So she knew jihad was imminent, even if she didn’t know where.”

Why aren’t the gays marching? Too busy standing with terror-tied CAIR.

Noor Salman verdict: Christine Leinonen, mother of Pulse victim, says confession ‘clearly coerced’

The Orlando Sentinel, March 30, 2018:

Christine Leinonen — whose only son was killed in the Pulse nightclub massacre — said she is disappointed but not shocked by the not guilty verdict of the gunman’s widow, Noor Salman, because Salman’s alleged confession was “clearly coerced.”

“There was not the overwhelming evidence they needed,” said Leinonen, a former state trooper and attorney. “But I don’t blame the government [prosecutors]. That [Salman’s] confession was clearly coerced. Cops screw up their own cases.”

Central to the prosecution were statements Salman reportedly made to Special Agent Ricardo Enriquez over an 11-hour period at an FBI office following the attack. The jury never heard those statements directly, as the agent didn’t record them. Instead, he transcribed her words — at her request, he said, because she was too nervous.
Leinonen’s son, 32-year-old Christopher “Drew” Leinonen, was among the 49 killed in the club in the 2016 attack. In the months since, she has been an outspoken proponent of sensible gun laws and worked for a nonprofit started in his memory, The Dru Project.

“You can’t hold people that long and expect them not to say anything so they can leave,” Leinonen said. “To hold her for 11 hours, when she’s [separated] from her child? That would have driven me crazy.”

Still, Leinonen said she does believe Salman was guilty of knowing that her husband was planning an attack and doing nothing to stop it.

During the government’s case, jurors watched video of Salman and Mateen standing together as he purchased ammunition and jewelry. They learned that Mateen had made his wife a death beneficiary on his accounts. A former IRS investigator testified the couple spent more than $32,000 between June 1 and June 12, including $26,532 in credit card purchases.

“She married a guy knowing he wanted to commit a jihad,” Leinonen said. “And she accepted all those gifts. He’s spending $26,000 when he only makes $30,000 in a year and getting all his ducks in a row, making her payable upon his death. So she knew jihad was imminent, even if she didn’t know where.”

PLEASE look into this! Go to YouTube and watch a short video “Club-K Container Missile System 2013” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbUU_9bOcnM&t=6s

Once you watch the short video on Club-K ask yourself how in the world did this happen? I have been trying since November 2017 to get action on this but to no avail! “The Perfect Storm: Project Pelican’s Gulftainer, Russia’s Club-K, KGB’s Primakov, North Korea, and the Architects of the Islamic Bloc and the Iran Nuclear Deal” now reveals that the danger to U.S. national security may be exponentially more critical. Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar worked closely with the Russians on Iraq’s full range of Weapons of Mass Destruction programs, including the nuclear one. He succeeded in designing a miniaturized nuclear warhead similar to the model that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un posed with earlier in 2017. Worse yet, Gulftainer, the Iraqi-UAE company that was allowed to obtain the Port Canaveral container facility lease, has entered into a joint venture with the Russian state-owned firm which owns 100% of the shares of Rosoboronexport, the exporter of the Club-K system.

The only thing this B- MIGHT be good for is bait(/leads). Keep eyes and ears on her 24/7 to see what else we can learn. Follow up on everybody who makes contact with her. If we get nothing after a while, kill her.

F- pisslam.

She is very attractive and I’m sure she gets hundreds of marriage requests and letters of adoring praise every week from love-struck young Muslims. In case you didn’t know, if you are in a Kaffir country plotting Jihad, even a woman can dress and act Western (its all for the greater good of mass murder in the Name of Allah).

Not that attractive actually. No beautiful blonde hair or green or blue eyes rather plain. I doubt she gets “hundreds of marriage requests” except maybe from ISIS terrorists.

One in ten Muslim males (conservatively) in U.S. are pro Terror and they would really dig her.

She’s looks a little heavy in one photo – could lose some weight and needs a haircut or least some styling. I give her a 3 out of ten.

What’s wrong with the juries in Florida? After the Casey Anthony and George Zimmerman verdicts nothing they do down there surprises me. Noor Salman knew something big was going to happen. Maybe she didn’t know exactly where but she knew and no one will convince me otherwise. She has blood on her hands! I hope this follows her the rest of her life!

We have surveillance on Chinese embassies because China is a state actor and it is the “unspoken” agreement amongst countries that they can spy on each others’ embassies and what not. The issue with the Bush administration’s proposal to have surveillance on American mosques is that Jihadists are a non-state actor, so they are not dealt with under the same policies as another foreign country. Islam is NOT a nation…it’s a mythology. Some people choose to believe in it, some don’t, but technically it’s not an organized body with its own land, government, etc. And what defines a real muslim? This is a very complex legal problem.

I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist but the part of this whole saga that stinks the worst is how AG Loretta Lynch’s FBI and DOJ drug their feet in releasing the 911 tapes of Mateen’s call to the cops during the assault. And further, how all references he made to Islam and jihad we’re scrubbed from them. Never mind that the wife made trips to buy ammo and to scout possible targets.

It is no mystery why I carry a concealed .40 S&W everywhere I go.

Be safe, be trained, be alert.

Her lawyers said she was in jail for two years, from what I remember she was arrested in Jan.2017. Pulse shooting didn’t happen until June 2016. Lying lawyers.

This is ABSURD!

Her stance didn’t change. I doubt that it was “coerced”. She is GUILTY. Another miscarriage of justice….. Her life will go on as a celebrity in the Muslim community as they laugh at our “justice” system. She even PROFITED from the coming massacre! Did they take that away from her? Or did she need it for her creepy son? Was there sympathy for that too? We should DEPORT HER and her son.

Can you imagine what ISIS would have done to her if the situation was reversed and she was aware of activities against ISIS? I’ll leave that to your graphic imagination. I doubt that she works and will continue living off taxpayers.
