SECRET TUNNELS REPORTEDLY FOUND UNDER CHABAD-LUBAVITCH HEADQUARTERS IN NEW YORK!
I’m tracking the story of the secret tunnels found under the Chabad-Lubavitch Headquarters in Crown Heights.
A Union Street homeowner told http://CrownHeights.info several weeks ago that they had been hearing suspicious noises at night in their home for a period of time. As the noise continued, the concerned homeowner notified someone of the sounds and their suspicion.
http://CrownHights.info reported that around this same time construction workers found what appeared to be a tunnel underground.
Last night vandalism and chaos occurred allegedly because cement trucks were brought in to fill in the tunnels. The bochurim allegedly began disconnecting, hosing and vandalizing the cement trucks.
The NYPD was called in and the vandalism continued inside. The bochurim flipped tables and ripped off the walls of downstairs 770 exposing the hidden tunnel. There were reportedly also attempts to pepper spray police officers.
One of the more disturbing videos from the incident shows a stained mattress was pulled from the underground tunnel. Also, there’s a photo of what appears to be a baby highchair allegedly found in the tunnel. There were reportedly at least 10 people arrested.
Curiously, there’s photos of #mainstream #media at the scene at around 7 p.m. EST; however, the #MSM has been suspiciously #silent. This raises #red #flags — are they all waiting for their 4 a.m. talking points before they cover this?
The X page for The Chabad-Lubavitch Headquarters released a statement over an hour ago; however, they made no mention of the tunnels. The statement read:
“The Chabad-Lubavitch community is pained by the vandalism of a group of young agitators who damaged the synagogue below Chabad Headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway Monday night. These odious actions will be investigated, and the sanctity of the synagogue will be restored. Our thanks to the NYPD for their professionalism and sensitivity.”
There’s no clear indication on what these tunnels were used for. I’ve reported extensively on how there’s underground tunnels all over the county that are used to traffic #children. Sadly, this is not uncommon. Let’s hope this is not what these tunnels were used for regarding this incident.
We’ll see how this plays out.
