On Dec 29, 2012, Jewish socialites, Aaron Greene, 31, and Morgan Gliedman, 27 were arrested after a visitor reported seeing a stockpile of terrorist gear in their Greenwich Village apartment.
Greene, left, is the Harvard-educated son of upscale art restorer. Gliedman's dad is an oncologist at Mt. Sinai, and her mother an high-end real estate agent. Morgan is a graduate of the tony Dalton School and her Facebook "friends" list is a who's who of the NYC in-crowd.
As we shall see, police and media are treating this couple with considerable restraint.
Ask yourself, if they were Muslims, what would the reaction be to finding the following terrorist hoard:
Seven grams of a white power that was identified as Hexamethylene Triperoxide Diamine, or HMTD, an easy-to-make explosive and a favorite of terrorists.
Police also found the makings for more of the stuff, as well as a sawed-off 12-gauge Mossberg 500 shotgun, a Ruger 12-gauge shotgun, a dozen 12-gauge shotgun shells, 9 high-capacity rifle magazines, and 60 5.56-caliber tracer rounds. There was also a 37mm flare launcher, a replica of a M203 grenade launcher.
The complaint also lists a number of books and manuals said to be found in the apartment:
- The Terrorist's Encyclopedia V. 1.02
- FM 5-25 Explosives and Demolitions
- FM 5-31 Booby Traps
- Improvised and Modified Firearms: Deadly Homemade Weapons
- A Do-It-Yourself Submachine Gun
- Street Sweeper: A Home Workshop Shotgun
- Building the M11/9: A Guide to Construction and Coercion
ARREST
Green and his father were imprisoned without bail at Rikers Island.
Gliedman's penalty is mild. The couple are heroin addicts. Gliedman must attend 30 days of inpatient treatment and will continue outpatient rehab. Once she is released from rehab, her ankle bracelet will allow her to travel throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn.
She went into labor during the arrest Dec 29 and later gave birth to a girl. She was charged -- along with Greene -- with multiple counts of weapons possession.
"Gliedman was also charged with having about $4,630 worth of stolen electronics and other items from a man she met at a bar after going to his Murray Hill apartment on Feb. 17, 2012.
Five days after the robbery, on February 22, she and her Harvard-graduate boyfriend, Greene, were arrested for possession drugs and found with a .223-caliber rifle. This was his third arrest on weapons charges.
The couple were spotted with another woman in a car and Greene was seen injecting heroin while one of the women snorted the drug, a criminal complaint said.
Police officers found empty heroin bags on the floor, marijuana and a digital scale with heroin residue in one of the women's handbags, according to The Post, and Greene admitted to having a gun.
He was sentenced to five months in jail. Gliedman was due to complete pre-trial probation for drug possession this week, but that case now could be reopened because of the latest explosive find."
(If you're a woman, cute, rich, connected, a new mommy, and Jewish to boot, let us pinch your cheeks! Shame about being an heroin addict & petty thief.)
POLICE AND MEDIA DOWNPLAY THE ARREST
Since Jan 9, there has been media blackout on this case. Before that, the media never used the J-word, and the police deliberately downplayed the significance of this arrest.
"New York City police have decided that a couple arrested for possession of weapons and explosives don't appear to be terrorists, just privileged kids with drug habits," said one report." By midday Sunday, police had reached the tentative conclusion that the explosives and weapons were part of some drug-fuelled fantasy life.To cops, Greene appears to be living proof that going to Harvard does not necessarily make you any less a knucklehead."
According to
another report, "The daughter of a top New York doctor and her Harvard-educated boyfriend are rich heroin addicts and not home-grown terrorists - despite explosives and a cache of weapons being found at their apartment, police say.
So far, no plot," the senior police official said. The official did not offer an explanation as to why the couple had allegedly amassed all the requirements of a terror cell but apparently not the intent. The absence of drugs in the apartment has apparently not dissuaded them from taking the view that the two are junkies with advantages."(
This despite an indication Greene planned to blow up the Arch in Washington Square Park.)
Early reports tried to link Greene to Occupy Wall Street but OWS denied ever seeing him. The New York Post tried to spin it that Greene is a Nazi. If a Jew is caught, turn him into a Nazi! Even the Village Voice wasn't buying it.
