Wake up
In Washington, a senior U.S. official said authorities at Fort Hood initially thought one of the victims who had been shot and killed was the shooter. The mistake resulted in a delay of several hours in identifying Hasan as the alleged assailant.”
The truth is probably something VERY different. For example:
‘Two US privates John Smith and John Henry had been seeing a military psychiatrist major Hasan at Fort hood for a few weeks. Both privates said they were completely against the war of oppression in the middle east and would refuse to report for active duty if ordered to do so.
So the army put them both in therapy with Dr. Hasan. After more than five weeks of therapy both Christian privates were called to go to Afghanistan. Both privates warned they would not go and they would defend themselves with force if the army tried to force them to fight in a war they believed was morally wrong.
Yesterday fellow soldiers tried to surprize the two consciencious objectors but the privates were prepared and killed 12 soldiers who tried to force their way into the privates’ barracks at Fort Hood.
During the mele their psychiatrist major Hasan, tried to talk the two privates into surrendering but he was shot twice.
Finally both privates were overcome and killed. Their psychiatrist major Hasan is in hospital recovering.’
Officials of the military have spun the story to make it seem the privates’ doctor (who has a muslim sounding name) was the perpetraitor so that the public does not understand just how much resistance there is to the middle east war in the military rank and file.
The whole official Fort Hood cover story is 98% a lie – just like 9/11. Do you trust the main stream media for the truth in a story like this? Heck, for any story.
Wolf security news will be following all aspects of this and other stories as it pertains to U.S. citizens saftey and security issues. It is getting harder to get the truth from the mainstream as the media is agenda driven and bought off.

New Hampshire prosecutor says woman's burglary killing was random

Associated Press photosChristopher Gribble, 19, seen during his arraignment in District Court in Milford, N.H., was charged with first-degree murder. Gribble is one of four teenagers charged in an attack that left 42-year-old Kimberly Cates dead and seriously injuring her daughter.MILFORD, N.H. – Four teenagers – one armed with a machete and another with a knife – picked an isolated home at random and entered it intending to kill in a middle-of-the-night attack that left a woman dead and her daughter seriously injured, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
Kimberly Cates, 42, was killed in her bed early Sunday morning while her husband was away on a business trip. A neighbor said their 11-year-old daughter, Jaime, is in a Boston hospital and expected to live.
The killing stunned Mont Vernon, a rural town of about 2,000 residents near the Massachusetts border where Cates worked as a nurse.
The teens were arrested Monday and made brief court appearances late Tuesday morning in nearby Milford. They entered no pleas, and spoke only briefly to say either that they had no questions or planned to request court-appointed lawyers.
Steven Spader, 17, and Christopher Gribble, 19, both of Brookline, were charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and attempted murder and were ordered held without bail. William Marks, 18, and Quinn Glover, 17, both of Amherst, were charged with burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary and robbery and were ordered held on $500,000 cash bail.
Seventeen-year-old Steven Spader arrives for his arraignment in District Court in Milford, N.H., Tuesday. Authorities released few details and sealed the affidavits supporting the charges.
Spader is accused of driving the teens to Cates’ neighborhood sometime before 4 a.m. Sunday and cutting her with a machete in the head, torso, arms and legs. Gribble is accused of stabbing her with a knife. Both are accused of attacking Cates’ daughter.
The teens picked the home at random and because it was on an isolated road, but all four knew of the plan to kill whoever was home, Assistant Attorney General William Delker said in court.
“Mr. Glover entered this home knowing that the participants intended to kill the occupants of the home if anyone was present. He entered the home armed with a deadly weapon, the homeowner was killed in her bed, and a young child was seriously injured,” Delker said.
Kimberly Cates’ husband, David, was out of town at time of the attack and flew back to be with his daughter, said next-door neighbor Yuki Chorney. Chorney said the two families moved to the neighborhood at about the same time in 2003, and Jaime Cates’ frequently played with her daughter.
Seventeen-year-old Quinn Glover arrives for his arraignment in District Court in Milford, N.H., Tuesday. “We moved here because we wanted to live in a quiet, rural town where everybody knows everybody,” Chorney said, holding back tears.
She said Kimberly Cates was meticulous about safety and locking doors, though she left windows open for air in the summer.
“The entire town is in shock,” she said.
Deputy House Speaker Linda Foster has lived in Mont Vernon for 40 years and raised three sons there. She called it “a picture-perfect town.”
Foster said she started locking her doors when a home on Main Street was robbed two decades ago. She attended Tuesday’s arraignment.
“I had to see the faces of the people who ripped out the heart and soul of this community,” she said. “These are not kids that came up from the big bad city. These are kids who grew up beside you. It’s evil.”
Eighteen-year-old William Marks enters District Court for his arraignemnt in Milford, N.H. Tuesday. Glover’s attorney described his client as a B student with no criminal record.
John David, 67, of Amherst, belongs to the same church as Glover’s family and has known them for about five years.
He said Glover was a talented singer and guitar player who often performed at church functions, but said “he’s always been a little bit withdrawn, maybe moody. Somewhat rebellious.”
“We’re totally astonished and in disbelief that this could be the boy we know,” he said.
Two of the teens also were arraigned Tuesday on earlier charges. Marks pleaded not guilty to having marijuana in his car last month; Spader pleaded not guilty to pot possession on the same date.
WOLF SECURITY NEWS RESPONCE: I am going to lay out for you how to dectect, defend and respond to this type of crime.(DETECT) First, if you live in the country or on rural routes a drive way alarm detector is your first line of detection. The monitor should be placed at the top of the driveway as close to the road as possible. The speaker to the monitor should be close to your bed or sleeping Quaters. On approuch to your front door a sighn stating that you are on private property and are now under video tape survallence should be there and veiwable. Cameras should have motion detection and will be sending the data to a dvr locked were no one will know and behind a good deadbolt lock. A DOG, does not have to be a big dog, as this is not for protection but detection. A small dog will alert you and they do not eat much.(DEFEND) Next thing we are going to do is put good deadbolt locks on all doors. Double cylinders on doors with glass. All windows will have what I call bullet locks. They (the lock) pull out for cleaning window or can be locked in slight open position for airflow. Also an interior hidden camera will catch all entrances in the home in case the intruder makes it into the house. (RESPOND) I will pull no punches here. Someone or a few someones are coming to kill or hurt you or your family. You will respond in kind. You will have a licensed weapon registerd and you should train on it and know it well.Also, if you chose, a big dog(shepard) will be usefull here in home as they are territorial and will defend your and their home. Last we have a new product simular to what the elderly have,it is a panic button and it will call police when you activate it. There is a monthly fee I believe. I do not belive alarm systems do much but make noise that most people ignore. They are propably better when you are not home. If they monitor, that is good but I would still want the criminals on a video file for police so they could be caught and put away. Also, remember, additude is everything, get mad, you are not a victim, you are the one that will DETECT,DEFEND and RESPOND.

Fear Factor
Hello, Well everywhere you turn folks use fear to make things sell or get you to do what they would like. I personally feel that impowering people with knowledge is a much better way of getting people protected.Through educating ourselves and being watchful and mindfull we can live a happy fufilled life. Yes products are important, but the human heart and conditioning of the heart may prove to be your best tool in your protection of your home and yourself. Being an american comes with special duties. Freedom allows us to think breath the air and to feel.So remember as you look at security remeber to also look inward. For in lies all that is seen outwardly.
AS time will move on so will we and with hope of better days, we will enpower each other. We should love each other and take care of our earth. It is the only earth we have.We may think to lock our doors,that is important, but so our our hearts and inner essences. So be mindfull of others and we will find this place a little more peacefull.

Alarm scammers play with your security
Hey folks,
Got a story to tell and it may be enlightening. About 15 20 years ago I got a part time job with a national company selling alarm systems to the general public. I will not name the company I was working for. Anyway, they trained me to sell there alarm system and sent me out to sell. First to friends and family and then to other prospects. I was on a sales call and I had not made a sale yet when I called into the office with a question about the system. My office manager got a little short with me during the call. I guess because I did not make a sale yet he was upset. So, he told me to close the sale, he said quote, " your a locksmith, tell the customer locks dont work", unquote. Well I hung the phone up. I excused myself from the customer, packed up the system and went back to the office and went into the managers office and I quit. I told him that LOCKS DO WORK. They keep people out of areas. Or they slow them down. Well, he was not happy to hear that comment and I am sure my opinion was not needed.
Well a couple years later I hired a salesman to sell for my company in the late eighties. Our supplier was a high tech company with a cutting edge system. So, I needed training with set up and install so they sent a factory rep to our office and he stayed for three days to train me so I could train my techs. That went well and we moved on to the next phase of training which involved trips to a burb in the Boston area for sales training. Being a bus. owner that likes to know all aspects of my expansion into alarms I went with my salesman to one of the classes. At this point I was expecting to hear alot of stats on B&E's,retail loss prevention, and other technics for selling. To be fair, there was some of that. But, and here is the big but, the classes were geared to economics. It is called RMR. And for folks not in the know, it means RECURING MONTHLY REVENUE. I sat thru charts of income projections and what that would add up to if you sold this many of that and how you would move up to this if you sold that and crazy economic stuff. AS I may have stated before, I am a locksmith of 30 years, I am a secutity consultant, and I would believe myself to be a protector of the public trust in the security field. In my humble opinion, this was not protecting anyone but these alarm system companies economic futures. I smelled a scam, and as you know, WOLVES HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF SMELL. My salesperson was excited as he did see the dollar signs but did not know security. Needless to say, we installed a few systems and that was about it. I went back to selling physical security for the most part and kept people truly safe with locks and key control.
Well, that was twenty years ago,and these security alarm system companies still play this game. Do not be taken in. If someone wants to give you something for nothing,there is a reason. That reason is there bottom line, not your saftey and security. Anyway, having zone protection and detection is important as some folks that read this will say I am crazy saying alarms do not help. They do help and deter,and are a good part of security if used in concert with locks and detection deterents: PIR'r(passive infared detectors) and event capture(video cameras), security lighting automatic turn on and other things designed in to the whole to meet the specific needs of our customers.
I have thru the years come up with methods and products that truly work. Locks keep people out of areas or slow them down. Cameras do work for protecting and detering. And alarms also work when used with these other method as a whole system meathod of protecting. Security lighting is also very important.Also key control and pushbutton locks are very good. We live in the age of information and technolgy, with that in mind I opened up a new division of my Mobile one locksmith bus. It is called wolf security products. I research and find new products that will work for my customers. I test them first, and anaylize there use for my customers.
Better bus. bureau called me the other day and wanted me to join. They said because of my years in bus. and good service they wanted me to join up and use the insigna. I listened to there rep. for a half hour, knowing there would be a fee. I was thinking about 2 or 3 hundred dollars as the person told me all the bennies of the BBB. When I heard the cost it was more than I wanted to spend for them to speak well of me. I decided not to pay to be spoken well of, just to keep doing what I have been doing, honest and fair and good work. Anyway the point I really wanted to make was, she asked me how I came up with wolf security as a division of my company. I told her I was a husky owner and had two of these magnificant animals in my life. One I owned was a wolf cross and he has passed. I felt blessed to know him and learned much from him. He is still with me in spirit and will be forever. His spirit is the spirit of protection and knowing. So I named my company after him as an honor to a great loving protecting and helping spirit. I wish you all well and peace and protection. I can be reached at wolfsecuritynews@gmail.com. Thankyou.

Copper target of thieves
Palmer police probe break-in at National Grid substation on Blanchard Ave.
by The Republican Newsroom
Tuesday August 11, 2009, 6:00 PM

lstabile@repub.com
PALMER - Palmer police are investigating a break-in to a National Grid substation on Blanchard Street reported Tuesday morning.
Police said the culprits got inside the fence and stole approximately $100 worth of copper from the ground wires. This wasn't the first time the substation has been targeted by thieves looking for copper.
More details as they become available.
Wolf security news : Yes copper is valuable and theses thieves will be back. I would suggest and my company would install an event capture devise (video camera) sent in the building to a dvr. Now, if you had a work site with no inside ie: contractors work site we have a stnd alone camera with its own DVR and I would put that in an inconspicuaus place to catch the culprits. Also we have seen down thru the years that installing a camera on site will usually stop the attempt. A camera is a good deterent. Some time I will install a fake camera in full view, and hide the camera sending data. I can be reached at wolfsecuritynews@gmail.com

Dumb Camera Thief
I always like to if possible to lock the dvr in an area that cant be found easy or away from the camera systems. Theives do not always think that a camera is sending a signal to a dvr or in some cases a wireless signal to a vcr. This gives us the advantage and should be a deterent if the person is smart. This guy was not smart.

The package was later detonated by the bomb squad.
This is a 1:02 p.m. update of a story originally posted at 8:11 this morning. By GEORGE GRAHAM ggraham@repub.com and BUFFY SPENCER bspencer@repub.com SPRINGFIELD - Suspicious items and spray-painted messages discovered at the front doors of both the Springfield juvenile and housing courts Wednesday morning prompted a full-scale response from the Springfield Arson and Bomb Squad. Police cordoned off the area, including the Hampden County Hall of Justice next door on State Street, following the discovery of the items and messages at about 7 a.m. The words "boom" and "bomb" were spray-painted on the front doors of those two courthouses which share the same building.

By GEORGE GRAHAM ggraham@repub.com and BUFFY SPENCER bspencer@repub.com SPRINGFIELD - Suspicious items and spray-painted messages discovered at the front doors of both the Springfield juvenile and housing courts Wednesday morning prompted a full-scale response from the Springfield Arson and Bomb Squad. Police cordoned off the area, including the Hampden County Hall of Justice next door on State Street, following the discovery of the items and messages at about 7 a.m. The words "boom" and "bomb" were spray-painted on the front doors of those two courthouses which share the same building.

Neighbors help and stay aware
For the first time in his life, Harold Preston is locking his doors at night. He's just learned that one of his neighbours, a 77-year-old widow who lives alone, was severely beaten when someone forced their way inside. ... Neighbours reacted with surprise: "That's something that happened right under our nose." "I can't believe it happened." "Nothing ever happens here." "Things like that happen in big cities, not here."Excerpted from The Ottawa Citizen – 06 July 2007
Our world has changed, and things of the nature of the story above have become common place. I believe that a good way to protect your property is to keep close to your trust worthy nieghbors. A large majority of breakins in homes happen in the day, and in some cases where people are around and watching. Years ago I recall a neighbor of mine being robbed in the middle of the day. Many people saw a truck pull up but because they looked professional people just thought they were workers.
Also people may pose as everything from meter readers to salespersons or other contractors and prey on unsuspecting people. Always ask for I.D. or look for a truck with a number and call the number or check out the company thru information. Never let someone in to use the phone. If they are in need or trouble, dial for them, and tell the person thier problem. I have had people call my company over the years for someone in trouble and in need of service. It is not unheard of. If they refuse that help with you in control then maybe they are up to something else. Stay aware, it keeps you safe.

By ELIZABETH ROMAN eroman@repub.com SPRINGFIELD - Four men who broke into East Forest Park homes to support their OxyContin habits have been arrested through the efforts of crime watch groups and police, said Sgt. John M. Delaney Thursday. Arrested were Vadim Demyan, 22, of 25 Larkspur St.; Sean Wilczynski, 18, of 15 Leland Drive; Korey Harrington, 18, of 72 Sunapee St., and Anthony Hart, 19, of Chester, said Delaney, aide to Police Commissioner William J. Fitchet.
Sean Wilczynski
All have been charged with seven counts of breaking and entering during the daytime with intent to commit a felony and larceny over $250, he said. Information about their arraignments in Springfield District Court Thursday was not available.
Anthony Hart
Delaney said the suspects spent a month targeting homes in the East Forest Park area, particularly Overlook Drive, Granby Street, Colorado Street, Acrebrook Street and Woodcrest Road.
Korey Harrington
Delaney said the suspects knocked on the doors of houses where there were no cars in the driveways. If no one answered they broke into the home by cutting screens on windows and stole money and jewelry.
Delaney said the suspects are all addicted to OxyContin and were using the stolen goods to purchase drugs. Investigating officers received car descriptions and plate numbers from neighborhood watch members in Forest Park and East Forest Park which helped them make the arrests, Delaney said. Harrington and another suspect were stopped Thursday after officers spotted a vehicle that met a description given to them by the neighborhood watch group.

SPRINGFIELD - Benjamin Sanchez will be held without right to bail on charges for the stabbing death of his estranged wife Ana I. Cruz and the burning of her home in what police say Sanchez held without bail after pleading innocent in the murder of Ana Cruz was an arson fire set to cover up a murder. Documents in the court file for the murder case say that Cruz was stabbed 35 times, with 15 puncture wounds in her left chest and upper arm and 20 puncture wounds to the middle of her back. About two dozen family members of Cruz were in the courtroom for the arraignment of Sanchez on Monday in Springfield District Court, many wearing T-shirts with her picture and messages in her memory.
Sanchez, 38, of 55 Better Way, pleaded innocent before Judge William J. Boyle to charges of murder and arson. He also denied two charges of violating of a restraining order for incidents that police said preceded Cruz' death on July 12. Defense lawyer Alan J. Black had no comment after the arraignment. The body of Cruz, 38, was discovered in her burning home at 681 Bay St. in the early morning hours of July 12. An autopsy concluded Cruz died from stab wounds and smoke inhalation. Cruz left two sons, two daughters, her parents, three brothers, two sisters, four grandchildren and many other relatives. Family members waiting outside the courtroom for the arraignment talked of Cruz' optimistic personality and love of family, but also the horror of events as they unfolded on July 12. She was buried Friday in St. Jerome Cemetery in Holyoke. Alfred Santiago, Cruz' 19-year-old son, had gone to his mother's house to pick her up for work at Baystate Medical Center on the morning of July 12 and discovered the house had been burned. Vanessa Garcia, Cruz' daughter, said she had been trying to reach her mother for hours, and was surprised Cruz' phone was turned off because she never did that. Garcia was told about the fire, and then the family learned about what had happened to her mother. Garcia, 22, said her mother, who was called "Annie," managed to still be happy no matter what she was going through. She said her mother and Sanchez had been separated and going through a divorce. "He was always trying to get to her and upset her," Garcia said of Sanchez. "I always knew he would try to harm her." She said she warned her mother to be careful and invited her to stay at her house. Garcia said her own 5-year-old daughter is distraught and "grieving very much" about her grandmother's death. Because of that, she did not take the child to the funeral. "We're trying to not tell her the details," Garcia said. "She went with my mom to Six Flags on the Thursday before (Cruz' death). I want my daughter to have that memory of her." Filings in the case say that although Sanchez said he did not leave his trailer once he went home late July 11, the car he was driving was seen on surveillance video leaving the mobile home park at 12:08 a.m. July 12. The car came back to the mobile home park home at 12:33 a.m. The fire was first reported at 12:33 a.m., the filings said. In a statement to police early July 12 at police headquarters Sanchez said he knew of no one who would want to hurt Cruz. In the July 12 statement he told police he and Cruz were getting divorced because he has been a heroin addict on and off for 20 years. The court filings said that when Sanchez was interviewed by police July 12 he had fresh injuries on his right hand and forearm that were consistent with a physical altercation.

Thieves breakin blind womens home steal ashes
Thieves steal ashes of Valerie Blackwell's late husband and son in Springfield burglary
by The Republican Newsroom

By GEORGE GRAHAM ggraham@repub.com SPRINGFIELD - One or more thieves, ransacking Valerie Blackwell's Pine Point neighborhood apartment, made off with her most-valuable earthly possessions - the ashes of her late husband and son. "Can you imagine grieving all over again?" the 47-year-old legally blind woman said on Monday as she sat in the darkened living room of her Leland Drive home. "I can't think straight." Blackwell was robbed some time on Thursday while she was on a daylong trip to Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary in Boston where she said she receives care for retinitis pigmentosa, a progressive eye disease. The disease has been gradually stealing away her sight since she was first diagnosed at age 16. Blackwell said she returned home that night to discover her possessions strewn about, her furniture and mattress slashed, the ashes gone. Investigators believe Blackwell my have been a victim of a hate crime, targeted by somebody who knew her and the significance of the urns, according to police spokesman Charles L. Youmans. "It's not like a regular burglary," said Youmans, speaking to the apparent viciousness of the break. Missing, along with the urns containing the remains of her husband and son, were a substantial amount of cash and the special adaptive equipment that Blackwell relies on to use her telephone and computer. "They took from me what I need to be independent on my own," said Blackwell. White clouds of stuffing, ripped from Blackwell's furniture and mattress, still drifted about the apartment's floors on Monday morning. "I had money in my mattress; that's why they cut up the place," Blackwell said. "They cut everything up to find the money." Blackwell said she can survive without the money and that the equipment can be replaced. "I know in my heart my son's spirit is with God in heaven, but his remains were here with me" she said. The two urns are similar; both are royal blue, zig-zagged with 10-karat gold. Blackwell said her son, Tyrone J. Bailey, died in Atlanta in 2007. Her husband, Gregory G. Blackwell died 23 days later of a massive heart attack. "They said he hung himself," Blackwell said of her son's death. "He was my first-born, my first gift from God, and he was so gifted." Her husband, 40 years old when he died, "was a loving man," Blackwell said. Blackwell said she would eagerly accept the return of the ashes, no questions asked. "I just want the ashes back," she said. A small safe, with such things as her late son's jewelry and her mother's wedding ring, was also taken. Blackwell started sobbing, in recounting the safe's contents, when she realized that it also contained a lock of her late son's hair. Police said at least $1,500 in cash was taken and that the stolen jewelry was estimated at $10,000. Blackwell said she is determined to get on with her life. "I am not going to give up. I will not give up. I am just grieving now," Blackwell said. Asked if she is afraid to stay in her apartment, now that the shelter it provided has been so violently shattered, Blackwell said no. "They took something so precious that my heart is almost dead," Blackwell said. "What else can they do to me?" Blackwell said she takes comfort in knowing, however, that her son and husband are safe in heaven. "If I never see those ashes again it's going to hurt, but, I know my husband and son's spirits are in God in heaven," she said. Blackwell hopes to study public relations and criminal justice at Springfield Technical Community College. "You better believe after what happened to me I am going to do it," she said. Anyone with information on the burglary is asked to call the Police Department at (413) 787-6355.
