A Middle Eastern woman was caught surveilling a U.S. port of entry on the Mexican border holding a sketchbook with Arabic writing and drawings of the facility and its security system, federal law enforcement sources tell Judicial Watch.
The woman has been identified as 23-year-old Leila Abdelrazaq, according to a Customs and Border Patrol (CPB) report obtained by JW this week. Abdelrazaq appeared to have two accomplices, a 31-year-old man named Gabriel Schivone and a 28-year-old woman named Leslie Mcafee. CBP agents noticed the trio “observing the facilities” at the Port of Mariposa in Nogales, Arizona on December 2. Schivone was first noticed inside the entrance of the pedestrian area while the two women stood outside by the entry door, the CPB document states.
When federal officers asked Abdelrazaq why she was drawing sketches of the facilities she “stated because she’s never been to the border,” according to the CBP report. Abdelrazaq resisted showing officers the sketchbook, citing personal reasons, but subsequently handed it over. “During the inspection of the Abdelrazaq sketching book, CBPOs noticed the book contained writings in English and Arabic language,” federal officers write in the document. “There were drawings of what appeared to be vehicle primary inspection area and an additional drawing of pedestrian turn stile gate depicting video surveillance cameras above the gate.” The report proceeds to reveal that the drawings were “partial and incomplete.”
This incident is only the latest of individuals of Middle Eastern origin being apprehended on the Mexico/Arizona border. There were two incidents – one involving five men, and another involving six men – in the past few weeks. https://stellasplace1.com/2015/12/04/middle-eastern-men-arrested-near-mexican-border-with-steel-cylinders/

Ziiggii, I was once told: ” when the student is ready, the teacher will appear”.
I have had several teachers over the years. They were all gracious, though gruff men. I can’t say that I always appreciated at the time what was taught. But learn, I did.
All that was learnt, well, it was not just the teachers teaching.

Col Ken, I think it’s a planned and theatrical diversion, much like the reports of sightings of suspicious looking types surveying dams and major drinking water reservoirs. They can’t poison them, their opportunity to wire them for demo iffy at best….. my antennae is up because I can’t figure out what we’re being diverted FROM at this point.
This Regime is very good at the sleight of hand. I wrote a comment over at Small Dead Animals blog about our experience on a flight back to US from Frankfurt and our man-handling at the gate so they could load human cargo they didn’t want anyone to see – and it wasn’t low key SF. Those guys were in the back with us, well away from the mysterious passengers. Really, really unnerving.

YTZ, you are not being diverted. It is all part of the strategy of tension. It is meant to be a news item. Look at how successful Operation GLADIO was in Italy during the “days of lead”. Same overall principle, just keep ratcheting up the tension to make the proletariat beg, nay plead with tears in their eyes, for the goobermint to “do something about (fill in the blank)”.

They tried and tried and tried to get the marginalized underclass blacks to go into white middleclass neighborhoods and kick off some sportiness, but they have too strong a sense of self-preservation to play. Some they had to bring in the “B” team.

YTZ, your theory is proving itself out every day. You are right.
It is my hope that Americans will look upon their daily interactions and realize what has changed over the past 8, 10-20 years. The answer is plain and stark, but must be reached individually.
Funny story that illustrates how far down the progressive hole I had been gaslighted… I was driving through a part of a state I have never been a resident of. Approaching a base where a work function was going to take place. I don’t know what it was, but all of a sudden I realized the physical truth behind a colloquial American phrase. It quite actually hit me in a rush of cognition. The environment I was slowly driving through in the Piedmont coast shattered ignorance. Funny thing was, I was not even looking for or thinking about enlightenment at the time. It just happened, revealed wisdom, as it were.

Ziiggi,
Why make it obvious? The border is porous BIDIRECTIONALLY. Why bother with such formalities if you are exfiltrating as a terror team?
A march further, why bother going straight to Mexico? This was amateur hour. Clowns go to Mexico, it requires no imagination. There are other areas that resemble a geographic ice cream cone that are more amenable to them dropping off the face of the earth.

Colonel Ken, The event may be a “demonstration” in terms of that tactical mission. For all those out there who never were subjected to staff planning beatings, it i sthe use of a force or element to draw attention. It is the bright shiny object, the “look, squirrel!”.
The specific military definition of “demonstration” is a lot different than a bunch of smelly hippies waving signs. Although, in retrospect, it could very well be in 4th Generation warfare.
demonstration
–
(DOD) 2. In military deception, a show of force in an area where a decision is not sought that
is made to deceive an adversary. It is similar to a feint but no actual contact with the adversary is intended.
