Rule 5 Sunday: Farewell To The Slave Princess

Posted on | December 13, 2015 | 30 Comments

— compiled by Wombat-socho

This isn’t exactly, news, but as most of us are aware, the canny marketing pros at Disney have put the kibosh on products featuring Princess Leia in her slave costume, allegedly to quiet the whines of feminists, but surely to increase demand when they reintroduce them some years down the line. So this week’s appetizer, partially honoring the forthcoming Star Wars movie (let us all join together in prayer: “Please, God, don’t let it suck”) is a pic of Carrie Fisher in the aforementioned costume having a little fun at the beach. As usual, many of the following links are to pics normally considered NSFW, and the management is not responsible for any pollution caused to your precious bodily fluids should you exercise poor judgment as to when and where you click said links.

Definitely not the reason Han Solo’s kids are ugly.

Leading off this week is Ninety Miles from Tyranny with Hot Pick of the Late Night, Girls With Guns, and Morning Mistress; Goodstuff follows with Bouncing Boobs, and Animal Magnetism follows with Rule 5 Friday as well as something completely different: the Saturday Zazvormageddon! The Last Tradition contributes Kyra Chaos and Sultry Simone, and First Street Journal focuses on American Policewomen this week.

EBL opens this week with Postmodern Jukebox, followed by Kim Novak with Rita Hayworth, Judy Garland, Natalie Wood, and other, less famous Sinatra girls.

A View from the Beach chips in with Star Wars Starring Sarah Jean, “Ring Them Bells”, FBI Still on Clinton.com, The Face of Evil?, Starting Young, What Did Clinton.com Know and When Did She Know It?, Going to Find Out Who’s Naughty But Nice, Chappy Chanukah!, Continued Fun at Clinton.com, Bring on the Clown!, Can the Redskins Massacre the Cowboys?, Monday Morning Muse and They Deserve Each Other.

At Soylent Siberia, it’s your coffee creamer Bistro Cinnamon, Monday Motivationer Eagle Eye, Tuesday Titillation Sweater Puppy, Humpday Hawtness Kiera, Fursday Fantastic, Corset Friday, and Bath Night Bonanza.

Proof Positive’s Friday Night Babe is Milana Vayntrub, his Vintage Babe is Janis Page, Sex in Advertising is covered by Marissa Miller, and of course there’s the obligatory 49ers cheerleader. At Dustbury, it’s Rosamund Pike and Carly Rae Jepsen.

Thanks to everyone for all the linkagery, especially in yesterday’s FMJRA, which put Rule 5 Sunday back atop the most-linked list here at The Other McCain! Deadline to submit linkagery to the Rule 5 Wombat mailbox for next week’s Rule 5 extravaganza is midnight on Saturday, December 19.

The Face of a Terrorist Mastermind?

Posted on | December 10, 2015 | 65 Comments

Enrique Marquez may not look like a terrorist, but he is now a focus of the FBI investigation in San Bernardino:

As federal officials scour the backgrounds of the couple who went on a terrorist rampage here last week, they are looking carefully at Enrique Marquez, a childhood friend and relation by marriage of the husband, Syed Rizwan Farook. It was Mr. Marquez, 24, who bought the two assault rifles that Mr. Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, used to carry out the attack, which killed 14 people and wounded 21 others.
Mr. Marquez, who works at a Walmart store, bought the weapons legally in 2011 or 2012 and either gave or sold them to Mr. Farook, federal officials said. Investigators have spoken with Mr. Marquez and were keeping close tabs on him; although they have not named him as a suspect, they believe he has knowledge about the Farook family and its recent activities.
In November 2014, Mr. Marquez married Mariya Chernykh, whose sister, Tatiana, is married to Syed Raheel Farook, brother of Syed Rizwan Farook. Tatiana Farook is a hairstylist and makeup artist who also goes by the name Tatiana Gigliotti. She and her husband were witnesses at the wedding of Mr. Marquez and Ms. Chernykh, according to a marriage certificate released by the California Department of Public Health.
Another of Mr. Farook’s siblings, Saira, is married to Farhan Khan. For some period of time the Khans attended the same mosque as Mr. Marquez, who is a convert to Islam, according to people who know them.
Mr. Marquez could be crucial in helping the Federal Bureau of Investigation determine when the couple began their plot and understand more about their thinking.

Meanwhile, we learn more about these disciples of the Religion of Peace:

Syed Rizwan Farook, the man at the center of last week’s massacre in San Bernardino, Calif., might have plotted an attack as far back as 2012 with one of his longtime friends, senior law enforcement officials said Wednesday.
In addition, the F.B.I. revealed Wednesday that Mr. Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, were discussing jihad and martyrdom online in 2013 before they were married and she came to the United States.
The new timeline suggests that the couple were considering violent action before the Islamic State rose to prominence in 2014 and began trying to inspire sympathizers to carry out attacks in the West.
And the disclosures raise questions about how thoroughly American law enforcement and immigration officials vetted the wife before giving her a visa to enter the United States from Pakistan a year before the shooting, which left 14 dead and 21 wounded.
“ISIL inspiration may well have been part of this, but these two killers were starting to radicalize towards martyrdom and jihad as early as 2013,” the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, said during testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, using an acronym for the Islamic State. . . .
Mr. Marquez has been cooperating extensively in recent days with federal authorities, discussing at length his relationship with Mr. Farook. . . .
The authorities are still seeking to corroborate what Mr. Marquez is telling them. Because he provided two of the four weapons used by the attackers, some investigators have questioned his credibility, thinking that he might exaggerate what he knows about the couple to win favor with the authorities.
Mr. Marquez is also said to have mental health issues. Shortly after the attacks, he checked himself into a mental health facility in California.

So, he’s crazy? I repeat: Crazy People Are Dangerous.

San Bernardino attackers had been thinking about an attack long before the rise of ISIS: https://t.co/O4CaODLj8S pic.twitter.com/QOdUbsCPK8
