FBI agents have arrested and charged Justin Carl Moose with describing how to make explosives in his effort to bomb an abortion clinic. The agents found the instructions on Moose’s Facebook page. Moose describes himself as an “extremist, radical” and the “Christian counterpart of Osama bin Laden” according to the FBI. They arrested him in the northwest Concord neighborhood on Tuesday.
Extremism has been on the rise of late with advocates of violence referring to the possibility of “Second Amendment” remedies if the Tea Party does not win Congress this year, and at least one Tea Party member threatening to put a bullet in the head of the leader of Delaware’s GOP. The FBI was alerted about Moose’s plans by Planned Parenthood and the FBI began an investigation into that Facebook page which advocated the use of extreme violence against abortion providers. Last week, he began collaborating with a confidential informant in crafting a plan to bomb an abortion clinic in North Carolina. Moose was, apparently, also in communication with others who advocate violence against abortion clinics.
Among the targets of Moose’s anger were abortion doctors, President Barack Obama’s health care plan, and the plans to build the so-called Ground Zero Mosque in New York City. He also expressed his support for anyone killing abortion providers. According to the affidavit, he stated on his page “Whatever you may thing about me, you’re probably right. . .Extremist, Radical, Fundamentalist…? Yep! Terrorist…? Well, I prefer the term ‘freedom Fighter.’
According to the affidavit he also wrote “The Death Care Bill passed last night. Keep your phone and rifle close and wait. . .There are few problems in life that can’t be solved with the proper application of high explosives
. . If a mosque is built on ground zero, it will be removed. Oklahoma City style. Tim’s not the only man out there that knows how to do it.” The last, of course, refers to the actions of Timothy McVeigh who murdered several hundred people when he detonated explosives in front of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. Despite claims of links to external sources from others, McVeigh has been proven to be the originator of the plot.
Moose was an unemployed father of three who now faces a very long stay in prison without much chance of finding gainful employment as he faces twenty years in prison for distributing bomb making instructions.
The sting operation began on 3 September when the FBI informant phoned Moose and told him a story about his best friend’s wife’s plan to have an abortion. Moose offered to help, and on 4 September, Moose and the informant met in the Concord Mills TGIFridays. There, Moose described several bombs that the source could make to destroy the clinic, and Moose gave the source instructions on how to do surveillance on the clinic including drinking a few beers and staggering around drunk. After being confronted, the source was suppose to ask for the bathroom.
On 5 September, the source contacted Moose and Moose walked him through making the explosives.
To date, no one involved with Moose has been willing to offer a comment.

The things which the powerless and vindictive will do to achieve a feeling of power. A look into Moose’s life will show the influences that made him the case he is.
Child development is such a complex process that to compare it with the simplicity of anti-abortionism is to compare a nuclear warhead with a marble. Anybody in the field of child psychology is aware of how children grow up to express the sins of their fathers. It’s not the Devil “prowling about the world like a roaring lion” seeking souls to devour; it’s children trying to work out the damage done to them by (often well-meaning) parents.
AS I’ve pointed out before, the needs of so-called “pro-lifers” do not allow energy to be expended on complex problems, so Moose was doomed from the start.

rogelio, you’re not a stalker, nor senescent to lie unknowingly, nor unprincipled enough to lie knowingly, so people have no reason to dump on you.
I do look whimsically at your belief that the problem of abortion has to be addressed at the root.
The root of course is that people really, really like to have sex. Since Mother Nature does not provide brakes for humans (it’s a trait that has resulted in becoming a dominant species, thanky you, MN), we either live with hordes of offspring who do not receive human nurture (language, mores, socialization) sufficient to their needs, or we endow the primary caretaker with the right to choose the number of offspring she will nurture.
The real root of the problem is either putting something in the water or overcoming the attitude that abortion is evil.

i think we see the root differently, chuckles.
granted, the desire for lots of sex is prevalent in our society, and that is evident by looking at the media we are bombarded with.
and to make matters worse, we have a warped sense of what is and isn’t attractive, and whatever doesn’t fit within the boundaries is made to seem without worth.
but i see the root as out society being so prone to turning our collective back on those in need.
we do not carry love of neighbor in our hearts.
i was busy of late with life chain and the 40 days vigil and when enlisting aid for this, i was reminded of this.
you spoke before of asking people what their motivation was for being in life chain, and they honestly didn’t know.
maybe they were there because they got the warm fuzzies?
not very strong motivation in my opinion.
our motivation for what we do needs to be less about ourselves and more about those who are in need.
but we are so suspicious of the few that might try and get over, that we hesitate to help anyone.
our society is sorely lacking in compassion.
that is what i see as the root.
the hard part about that is that we don’t want to face our own flaws because we will be faced with the fact that we are not the wonderful people that we like to think we are.
we would see that while we focused on that speck in our brother’s eye, we are in serious need of some visine for the 2×4 in our own.

Rogelio, the purpose of Life Chain is not to “rescue” or otherwise care for the “unborn child,” but to provide: A) the timid with the first step toward full-blown aborticentric behavior, and B) affirmation for the recruited that his so-called “pro-life” stance must be worthwhile because other people are joining him.
My point with the 160 Life Chain demonstrators was that they should commit themselves to exercising the caring you speak about– and as I’ve pointed out before, only two couples did, and only for six children, five of whom were adopted by one very wealthy couple. I have a feeling the other 156 showed as much willingness to sacrifice for a child they never intended to be born as you have shown. But I could be wrong….

to be frank, i have only adopted one child, although i would have liked to have adopted more.
my aiesha was not one of the perfect babies that everyone wants.
she was a preemie, born addicted, with hiv, and a list of health problems as a result.
and i had to jump through hoops. i understand that the laws are so draconian to protect the children, though.
most of my experience where i was personally hands on was taking girls or women in who had no place to go or were escaping abusive relationships, so that they could both keep their children as well as carry them to term, as well as escape bad situations in general.
none of them regretted their decision to have their babies.
i also know of cpc’s who are upfront about what services they provide who can offer some good resources.
a small bit of aid from one entity can make a world of difference to another.
i don’t need a huge crowd to affirm my stance because i follow what is in my heart, and it would be there no matter how many or few appeared.
still, during the process it was discouraging to see some of the people who state that they are pro-life, but were all too willing to turn their backs on those in need.
we had a showing of 600, although no new churches came on board this year. so that had to have been individuals that joined.
i think it is good that you questioned people.
there were 6 adopted that you know of, but maybe you planted seeds into the hearts of others, and more were adopted or fostered.

Rogelio, from #11: Well, you’ve shown what you are capable of yourself. Now all you have to do is the impossible task of holding 600 people up to your standard.
When I founded RESPONSIBLE Right to Life, I knew that abortion could be totally eliminated if every one of the so-called “pro-lifers” in America simply adopted four children a year for the rest of their lives. As I stated elsewhere on this site, I even offered to firebomb an abortion mill to recognize the achievement of anyone who did it for fifteen years (the least I could do for someone raising sixty kids). And I even vowed to do it in their name.
There were no takers.
Now, here’s how many people who are going to adopt a child without stating any preferences (which is the way God always sends them) because you are appealing to their “pro-life” instincts and you’ve shown them by your example that it can be done:
Zero.
They’re not “pro-life” because they care FOR life; only because they care ABOUT it.

i found responsible right to life very interesting.
i have seen some choicers present similar concepts, but you presented it in a way that was thought provoking, whereas too often i have seen it presented in a way that is too easily dismissed because of the arrogance and desire for confrontation with which they presented it.
you made a challenge for lifers to adopt 4 children a year.
when i told you that i have only adopted one, you didn’t try to diminish the love i tried to show, just because i didn’t have the means to adopt 4 each year.
and frankly, when i lost her, i was broken and had even more limits to my abilities during the grieving process.
i am only one man and i have weaknesses and limits to what i can do.
but i don’t think that you expect me to save the world, and to fix the mistakes of everyone else.
we both know that even if i were capable of that, it wouldn’t be good for the other person. it would take away their own dignity of being a productive member of society.
so in a way, my own flaws and limits might have been at times, a blessing in disguise.
it is very hard to expect a woman to carry a baby to term and give that child away forever.
it always hurt growing to love my housemate and her baby only for them to leave once they were on their feet. but if i helped them a little, i think i did the right thing, and the pain of an empty house was worth it.
responsible right to life was presented in a way that said that lifers need to walk our talk.
we need to constantly reach out to those who are seeking abortions if we are sincere about being pro-life.
as far as 600 other people keeping the standards that i do, …. well, some of the 600 are seniors and some were underage. and a number of those people have indeed adopted children, and some of those children are special needs children.
but there is indeed an element among lifers that need to understand that we bear responsibility for a great deal of abortions, or of reducing that number, with our own compassion, or lack thereof.
and we pass that mentality on to our own children with the example that we set for them.
all of the churches that were with us last year were back again.
but the fact that we were turned down by some of the other pastors who we asked to join us as a church was pretty discouraging.
they should be leading by example.
it really is difficult trying to teach some of the other lifers that we have to do our part to help if we really want to reduce the number of abortions.
as a side note, for what it’s worth, even if i were capable of fulfilling the challenge in responsible right to life, i couldn’t allow you to firebomb an abortion clinic.
jajajajaja
i would FAR rather be rewarded with a couple of hours of good company and good conversation over a beer. we could take the kids to chuck e cheese. they serve beer there.
as a father, and a single one at that, i am sure you can muster empathy for that wish.
jajajajaja
but overall, i was very impressed with responsible right to life.
i believe that lifers need to walk our talk.
responsible right to life affirms my belief.

something i would like for you to consider, chuck…
try not to be pessimistic about some of the people you met at your local life chain.
god wasn’t finished with them when you encountered them.
but god might have used you as his tool to show them the truth that they need to try and do something to make a difference to those who are considering abortion.
you never know when he will allow the seeds that you planted to sprout.
it’s very possible that some of those people reached out to someone in need and adopted or fostered the children ( yes, maybe even the “imperfect” ones ) of someone who was considering abortion because they saw no other solution.
your efforts might have made a tremendous difference in the lives of someone else, bro, and you just were never a witness to that difference. but not witnessing it doesn’t negate that it happened.
god bless you, chuckles 🙂

Rogelio, thank you for the compliment about my ability to communicate. Here are some follow ups about your other comments:
“i am only one man and i have weaknesses and limits to what i can do.
but i don’t think that you expect me to save the world, and to fix the mistakes of everyone else.”
Yet you seem not to grant that pregnant women also have weaknesses and limits and therefore have to bear and raise a child, something you have not done since your own loss. And you also feel that by making them do this, you are doing your little bit to save the world, no?
“we both know that even if i were capable of that, it wouldn’t be good for the other person. it would take away their own dignity of being a productive member of society.”
Apart from the illogic of this statement (you seem to assume the woman is a welfare queen) somehow you don’t see this would be good for the born child? This inability to focus on the needs of human life is at the center of aborticentrism.
“it is very hard to expect a woman to carry a baby to term and give that child away forever.”
Hard for you maybe, but not hard for a women who believes that somebody else will be a better mother than she can be. You’re operating from a stereotype about motherhood. I could introduce you to women who are quite happy that someone else is doing a good job of raising their child.
“it always hurt growing to love my housemate and her baby only for them to leave once they were on their feet. but if i helped them a little, i think i did the right thing, and the pain of an empty house was worth it.”
If you want to enjoy the “pain of an empty house,” go ahead. But it’s too bad that you didn’t fight the pain by standing up to it and helping raise another child. If I were to dwell on the cruelties fate and necessity have imposed on me in life, I’d be overwhelmed. I have to try something else when life kills my hopes for a certain outcome. You ought to examine why you prefer to remain in a state of grieving over a noble loss rather than helping another child get ready for its future.
“we need to constantly reach out to those who are seeking abortions if we are sincere about being pro-life.”
No, you need to reach out to born children. The only sincerity there is in the so-called “pro-life” position is the horror of Death, but it’s not based on the needs of the child; it’s based on the needs of the so-called “pro-lifer.”
“as far as 600 other people keeping the standards that i do, …. well, some of the 600 are seniors and some were underage. and a number of those people have indeed adopted children, and some of those children are special needs children.”
That’s no reason to let them off the hook of caring for others! A huge percentage of American kids are now being raised by grandparents, so age isn’t an issue. Nor is there any reason why the elderly can’t spend down their estate in behalf of those kids. The underage can give their allowances or be public school mentors to needy kids. And the adopters ought to adopt more, like that one couple in Florida that adopted 16.
“it really is difficult trying to teach some of the other lifers that we have to do our part to help if we really want to reduce the number of abortions.”
It’s not difficult; it’s impossible! They are not operating on an agenda of rescuing humans; their agenda is to rescue themselves (which you’ve noticed in the aborticentrism blog). They are compelled to reject your attempts to get them to focus on the needs of the next child. That is why of those 600 Life Chainers, not one is going to adopt a child at your behest.

One out of every six attempts results in pregnancy. The average chance of getting pregnant as a result of each unprotected sexual encounter is nearly 17% for a fertile and healthy couple.
