Did Marty Golden’s early release of information to the press about FBI activity in Brooklyn endanger fellow New Yorkers and compromise national security ???


The RECORD clearly indicates that word about the FBI “traffic stop” in Brooklyn of several persons of interest connected to this past weekend’s Chelsea bombing, a nearby unexploded pressure-cooker, and related New Jersey pipe-bombings and unexploded pipe-bombs was LEAKED to the press by Bay Ridge Republican State Senator Martin Golden 


One of Golden’s critics inside the Brooklyn GOP indicated that they had received several calls from Golden’s constituents complaining that the leak from the Brooklyn State Senator was irresponsible and very likely compromised FBI and police efforts to completely round up all of the possible evil doers connected to the Metropolitan Area terror bombings  



According to the NY Post ---  FBI agents arrested five men who may be connected to Saturday’s bombing in Chelsea after stopping their car in Brooklyn, sources said….   The men were heading over the Verrazano Bridge from Staten Island when they were stopped Sunday night….  Sources said the FBI suspected the men may have had a role in the bombing and were questioning them at the FBI headquarters in Manhattan….  It is believed the men, who live in New Jersey, were heading to the airport when they were busted….”  (SeeFBI detains 5 in connection to Chelsea bombing” by Larry Celona, 9/18/16 [11:09 PM]  NY Post/ Metro [http://nypost.com/2016/09/18/FBI-DETAINS-5-IN-CONNECTION-TO-CHELSEA-BOMBING/]).  Following the material quoted above, the NY Post contained an illustration of  a Facebook post, which they had received from New York State Senator Martin Golden. 


A later story in the NY Daily News specifically named the Brooklyn State Senator as the source of the information in its coverage of the FBI's Belt Parkway "traffic stop," as follows:  “….   An Instagram account for New York State Sen. Marty Golden, citing the NYPD, said the FBI nabbed several individuals “with a possible connection to the bombing” on the Belt Parkway near the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in Brooklyn at around 9:30 p.m….” (See “FBI detains five people near Verrazano Bridge in possible connection to Chelsea bombing after pipe bomb cache find in New Jersey” by  Rocco Parascandola, Nicole Hensley, Andy Mai & Leonard Greene 9/19/16 [9:00 AM],  NY Daily News   [http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/federal-agents-arrest-people-linked-chelsea-bombing-article-1.2797378]).


GOLDEN’S FACEBOOK PAGE 


A quick look at Marty Golden’s own Facebook page discloses that he posted the information shown in the Post and Daily News articles no later than 10:20 PM on September 18th  (See  Marty Golden’s Facebook posting of 9/18/16  [https://www.facebook.com/699064456892439/photos/a.699154833550068.1073741836.699064456892439/883540381778178/?type=3&theater]).   That would be less than an hour after the time of the FBI “traffic stop” as reported in the NY Daily News.

SOME LOCAL FALL-OUT


A leading Brooklyn GOP activists called me and asked if I would let people know that there have been some complaints that Marty Golden’s big mouth and desire to curry favor with some members of the city-wide press jeopardized other New Yorkers and possibly  even national security by alerting the main perpetrator, causing him  to flee his Elizabeth NJ neighborhood at around midnight ---  or shortly after the Golden leak had been made public by the media (even though the principal suspect was luckily found in Linden, NJ early the next day and arrested after a shoot-out with local police). 

If there were any other perps, or connected Islamist radicals, they are off into the wind; all thanks to Marty's loose lips and itchy fingers.

It seems like Golden doesn't know about stuff like operational security, even though he was on a Homeland Security Committee in Albany

I have to say this made absolutely no sense whatsoever. I'm almost certain LE will have a conversation with him about leaking this sort of information. May as well have sent a message warning others to cover their tracks...

UPDATE: THE "NOW WE'LL ALL BE SAFE --- MARTY IS ON THE TERRORISTS' CASE" EDITION

FRESH OFF GOLDEN'S RECENT SUCCESS IN WARNING THE TERRORISTS THAT THE FBI WAS CLOSING IN ON THEIR ELIZABETH, NJ CELL --- THE GOP SENATE LEADERSHIP IN ALBANY HAVE PUT MARTY G & SIMCHA F ON AN ANTI-TERRORIST TASK FORCE --- HMMMMM! DON'T THAT BEAT ALL !!!


Read all about it --- "Two Brooklyn lawmakers have been named to serve on a new task force that will look at New York state’s counter-terrorism measures and come up with ways to increase public safety.... State Sens.Marty Golden (R-C-Bay Ridge-Southwest Brooklyn) and Simcha Felder (D-Borough Park-Midwood) were tapped by Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan to be members of the Senate Majority Task Force on Counterterrorism and Public Protection.... Flanagan appointed state Sen. Thomas Croci (R- Sayville) to serve as the task force’s chairman.... The eight-member task force will analyze counter-terrorism and public protection measures that have been in place since the Sept. 11 attacks 15 years ago and will make recommendations for future legislative and administrative actions.... 'We will be looking at legislation. But we’ll also be working to make sure that dollars flow to police departments and state troopers so that they have bulletproof vests and other things they need to fight terrorism and to prevent terrorism,' Golden told the Brooklyn Eagle.... Golden said he believed that the terror bombing that took place Saturday in Chelsea adds a special urgency to the task force’s mission...."

The only "Leak" I know of by Golden was the one Golden took in the street outside The Kettle Black.

Ahmad Khan Rahami fits the profile of a PATSY. There is so much evidence against this guy and in his legend that it looks like somebody worked overtime creating it. The timeline and the storyline from the bombings in Jersey and Manhattan to the arrest of this alleged "lone-wolf bomber" doesn't add up for somebody that was "off the radar."

Marty Golden fits the profile of a SHILL in this case. There is so much quick and accurate info posted by State Senator Golden from shortly after the bombing up to the arrest that it looks like somebody was working overtime feeding it to him. The timeline and the storyline appearing on Golden's Facebook from the alleged bombings by Ahmad Khan Rahami in Jersey and Manhattan to the arrest of Rahami as the alleged "lone-wolf bomber" doesn't add up for somebody that was "off the radar" of the FBI, and the NYPD and various Jersey police forces.

I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you, that Marty is allowing himself to be used this way, even though he gets some political cred by doing it

Patsy or not, this guy did not act alone.

RESPONSE & IMPORTANT BACKFILL: THE “TWO DISTURBING JOURNALISTIC COMPILATIONS ABOUT THE CHELSEA AND NEW JERSEY BOMBINGS” EDITION

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 10:41 AM"

YOU ARE NOT ONLY RIGHT, SIR, YOU ARE EXACTLY, COMPLETELY & ABSOLUTELY RIGHT

RUNNING NARRATIVES IN TWO SEPARATE COMPILATIONS OF THE FBI & POLICE VERSION OF THE EVENTS OF LAST WEEK-END TOGETHER WITH THE REPORTS ABOUT THE ARREST OF A SUPPOSED “LONE WOLF” BOMBING SUSPECT REALLY DON’T ADD UP OR MAKE ANY REAL SENSE --- EXCEPT AS A CONVENIENT COVER STORY OR AN ATTEMPT TO CREATE A FALSE LEGEND ABOUT THESE TERRORIST BOMBINGS AND WHO MIGHT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED

Inasmuch as the compilation by Caroline Spivack that appeared in Courier Life’s “Brooklyn Daily" is quite succinct and to the point, I’ve quoted it in full, as follows: “Federal agents have released the five New Jersey residents they arrested in Brooklyn on Sept. 18 after determining they did not have a hand in Saturday’s bombing in Chelsea…. Officials pulled the five over on the Belt Parkway in Bay Ridge on Sunday night after they came over the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge from Staten Island. Cops could not provide a time, but the arrest came around 9:30 pm, according to a local pol’s social media post…. ‘Update from the NYPD: About an hour ago, the FBI took several individuals into custody on the Belt Parkway in the area underneath the Verrazano Bridge, with a possible connection to the bombing last night in Chelsea,’ wrote state Sen. Martin Golden (R–Bay Ridge) on Instagram at 10:30 pm on Sunday…. Police collared the individuals as authorities shut down an Elizabeth, New Jersey, train station after finding multiple pipe bombs in a garbage can. The explosives put the Feds on the trail of the five, though an FBI spokesman would not say exactly how…. Law enforcement pursued them into Brooklyn believing they may be connected to 28-year-old Ahmad Khan Rahami — the primary suspect in a bombing that rocked Chelsea and injured 29 Saturday night. The five — three men and two women — were relatives of Rahami, according to the New York Post…. Officials now believe Rahami acted alone, according to media reports. Police arrested Rahami after a shootout in New Jersey on Monday….” (See “Police release five arrested in Brooklyn in connection to Chelsea bombing” by Caroline Spivack, 9/19/16, Courier Life/ Brooklyn Daily [http://www.brooklyndaily.com/stories/2016/39/all-chelsea-bombing-suspects-arrested-2016-09-23-bk.html]).

At the opposite end of the reporting spectrum is a very lengthy and detailed piece in the “Daily Mail” (See “Were New York and New Jersey explosions the work of a lone wolf? FBI says it's not looking for any more suspects after alleged 'terrorist bomber' is arrested in NJ shootout” By James Wilkinson and Kalhan Rosenblatt Published: 22:21 EST, 18 September 2016 | Updated: 16:44 EST, 21 September 2016, The Daily Mail/ For Dailymail.com [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3795912/Five-arrested-hunt-Manhattan-bombers-Suspected-terrorists-seized-FBI-hunts-men-seen-video-planting-IEDs-duffel-bag-filled-pressure-cookers-bombs.html]).

What is quite interesting is that neither of the two narratives appearing in the above cited articles, the short one in the “Brooklyn Daily” and the long and exhaustively detailed one in the “Daily Mail” really add-up or make complete sense.

WHERE ARE THE “TRUTHERS” WHEN YOU NEED THEM --- especially now that Ahmad Khan Rahami is looking more and more like a perfect “Patsy” --- stitched up even better than either Lee Harvey Oswald or Timothy McVeigh (whose known accomplice Terry Nichols and "others unknown" were at least mentioned in his indictment).....

Maybe its a good thing. But the bombs from last week are forgotten.
