It seems they’re catching up to the would-be bomber — or at least, they’ve identified him: Earl Albert Moore, 65, served a federal prison sentence for bank robbery and was released just seven days before authorities believe he left a poorly crafted bomb in a stairwell in Jefferson County’s Southwest Plaza Mall. Authorities found a small fire, two propane tanks and a crude pipe bomb on Wednesday, the anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre, which prompted mass evacuations and put a community on edge. Records from the Federal Bureau of Prisons show Moore was released from custody April 13 and remained on supervised parole at the time of the alleged bomb attempt. Court records show he robbed a West Virginia bank of $2,546, assaulted a bank employee and used a deadly weapon in the course of the 2005 robbery. It also appears that he has quite a background — including both a tax-resistance case and at least one very interesting tattoo: Moore’s criminal record in Colorado dates back to 1984 with a drug possession charge. He served six months in state prison on a felony burglary charge out of Arapahoe County in 2004. enlarge Credit: News9.com Earl Moore’s Viking tattoo At the time, he used the alias Earl Albert Buchannan. According to the Colorado Bureau of Investigations, Moore has also used variations of the names Donald Charles Morelli and Gary Steele. In 2010, the state filed a distraint warrant in Jefferson County in an attempt to collect $2,819 in taxes from Moore. Photos released by the FBI Denver Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office show Moore with tattoos of a heart and dagger, a rose-like flower and a Viking face on a bicep and forearms. The Viking tattoo is particularly important, because it is a powerful indicator that Moore — most likely while in prison — was exposed to white-supremacist beliefs and likely identified with neo-Nazi or other white-power gangs in prison. That’s because “Odinist” and Norse mythology have become favorite religions for the white-power set for several decades now, and ornate Viking tattoos of this kind are particularly associated with these beliefs. Not all Viking tattoos belong to white supremacists — but they are so common among them that they are a strong indicator, at the very least. Given that we’re talking about someone with an extensive prison background, the chances that it is NOT a white supremacist become vanishingly small. It’s looking increasingly likely that, just as we saw in Spokane, this bombing attempt gone bad was carried out by a white-supremacist fanatic intent on an act of domestic terrorism. But of course, it will once again be handled by our mainstream press as just another “isolated” incident. In the meantime, it’s looking like our list has now grown to 25.

In fact, per gallon prices are more than $2 higher than when Obama took office Jan. 20, 2009. Yet the president has been nearly exempt from criticism on the issue of rising prices, despite a six-month drilling moratorium and more regulatory hurdles for industry. The Business & Media Institute found that out of the 280 oil price stories the network evening shows have aired since the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, only 1 percent (3 stories) mentioned Obama’s drilling ban or other anti-oil actions in connection with gasoline prices. Instead of asking whether Obama's anti-oil policies could be increasing the cost of gas, the networks blamed other factors such as Mideast turmoil or the “money game” played by speculators. Certainly, the turmoil in Libya, Egypt and surrounding nations has increased worries about oil production and can influence the price. But the networks also should have looked for explanations much closer to home, like Obama’s many regulatory actions taken against the oil industry. First there was the drilling ban, which was later overturned by federal courts as illegal. Seahawk Drilling, a Texas-based shallow-water drilling company cited that moratorium as the cause of its bankruptcy filing saying, they “have been adversely affected by the dramatic slowdown in the issuing of shallow-water permits in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico following the Macondo well blowout.” According to The Heritage Foundation, the Obama administration moved on to a de facto moratorium after the ban was overturned. Add to that the EPA’s desire to regulate the industry’s greenhouse gas emissions and new environmental regulatory hurdles for the Keystone XL pipeline, which would transport crude from Canada to the U.S. and create many American jobs. Despite all of these actions on the part of the Obama administration, ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows have barely mentioned them in stories about rising gas prices.

It’s a process that involves plenty of manpower and, most importantly, plenty of time. AT&T has a more portable solution: a cell tower small enough to fit into a suitcase. The company’s new Remote Mobility Zone is comprised of an antenna and accompanying satellite dish, both of which can handle up to 14 simultaneous calls placed within a half-mile radius. Any AT&T phone can connect to the makeshift system, which will sell for anywhere between $15,000 and $45,000 (plus some monthly fees), though emergency workers will need a generator to get it up and running. They’ll also have to live without 3G data, which sounds like a reasonable compromise to us.
