Keith Ellison, The Perfect DNC Head!!

The Democrats have a new hero who's heavily favored to take over running the Democratic National Committee (DNC) He's none other than Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN). He's a leading member of the Progressive Caucus in Congress, a black, a Muslim and a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. I support him totally and hope he gets the job.

His background alone makes him a natural, and I'm glad to see that prominent Democrats like Senator Elizabeth Warren and Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer are supporting his candidacy.

And his background? Simply perfect for the job he wants as the new voice for the entire Democrat party. Let's look at it, shall we?

Keith Ellison was born in 1963 in Detroit and raised Roman Catholic.At age 19, while attending Wayne State University, he converted to Islam. When the Nation of Islam split into the American Society of Muslims (a group modeled on classic Sunni Islam led by Elijah Muhammad's son Warith Deen Muhammad) and the breakaway reestablished Nation of Islam led by Louis Farrakhan, Ellison went with Farrakhan's group.

Ellison later attended the University of Minnesota Law School where in his third year, 1989-90, Ellison wrote two columns for the Minnesota Daily under the alias “Keith Hakim.” One column lauded “Minister Louis Farrakhan,” one of America's premier racists and Jew haters as well as defending the views of a well known Nation of Islam spokesman Khalid Abdul Muhammad, famous for a vicious speech he made to a Kean College, New Jersey audience that referred to Jews as people whose ancestors were cannibals who “crawled around on all fours in the caves and hills of Europe” and “slept in [their] urination and [their] defecation ... for 2,000 years.” He characterized contemporary Jews as “slumlords in the black community” who were busy “sucking our [blacks’] blood on a daily and consistent basis.” He said that Jews had provoked Adolf Hitler when they “went in there, in Germany, the way they do everywhere they go, and they supplanted, they usurped.”

Muhammed, who later went on to form the New Black Panther Party was also a good friend of another Democrat icon, the Rev Al Sharpton. Sharpton was at Muhammed's bedside when he died in 2001 and paid for Muhammad's $10,000 funeral.

In his second column, Keith 'Hakim' Ellison demanded reparations for black Americans and an all-black, geographically self-contained “homeland.” Two things to keep in mind - Ellison was not some punk kid when he wrote this stuff but a mature young man of 27, and second, as we'll see, the timeline and his writing doesn't jibe with his later claim of being involved with the Nation of Islam for only 18 months and being unaware of the racial bigotry and anti-semitism.

In February 1990, Ellison participated in recruiting Kwame Ture (aka Stokely Carmichael) to speak at his law school on the subject, “Zionism: Imperialism, White Supremacy, or Both?” Ellison certainly can't say he wasn't aware of who Ture was or what his views were.

In 1995, Keith Ellison continued his involvement with the Nation of Islam, helping Louis Farrakhan organize the Million Man March, along with another one of Farrakhan's friends, a young community organizer named Barack Hussein Obama. While newspapers mainly reported only the most general details the alphabet networks only aired a few very carefully edited snippets, I taped the entire thing courtesy of CSPAN. It was one of the worst public exhibitions of racism and outright Jew hatred in recent American history.

Ellison not only participated in this, he appeared onstage with Khalid Abdul Muhammad, who gave the kind of vicious speech you would expect Khalid Abdul Muhammad to give at that kind of gathering. Ellison was there for the whole thing.

In February of 1997 Ellison, who continued to serve as a local NOI spokesman (with the new name of “Keith Ellison-Muhammad”)attended a public hearing concerning Joanne Jackson of the Minnesota Initiative Against Racism (MIAR). Jackson, like Ellison a supporter of Louis Farrakhan and the NOI, was under fire for saying to a group meeting held in Temple Israel Synagogue of Minneapolis that she considered Jews “Jews are among the most racist white people I know.”

Ellison of course defended her, saying, “We stand by the truth contained in the remarks attributed to [Ms. Jackson], and by her right to express her views without sanction. Here is why we support Ms. Jackson: She is correct about Minister Farrakhan. He is not a racist. He is also not an anti-Semite. Minister Farrakhan is a tireless public servant of Black people, who constantly teaches self-reliance and self-examination to the Black community.”

Ellison started his political career   in 1998, when he ran, unsuccessfully, for the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party nomination for state representative as “Keith Ellison-Muhammad.” In an article on his candidacy that appeared in Insight News, Ellison was still touting Farrakhan:

“Anticipating possible criticism for his NOI affiliation, Ellison-Muhammad says he is aware that not everyone appreciates what the Nation does and [he] feels there is a propaganda war being launched against its leader, Minister Louis Farrakhan.”

In February 2000, Ellison gave a speech at a fundraising event sponsored by the Minnesota chapter of a communist front group, the National Lawyers Guild, where he had he previously had served on the steering committee. The event was a fundraiser for Symbionese Liberation Army terrorist Kathleen Soliah after her arrest in St. Paul for the attempted murder of Los Angeles police officers in 1975. Aside from calling for her release, Ellison called her “basically … a black gang member” Ellison also spoke favorably of other high-profile murderers like Mumia Abu Jamal, Assata Shakur, and Geronimo Pratt.

This is the man who ran in 2006 as a Democrat for Minnesota's Fifth District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. He'd wised up, dropping the Mohammad from his name and glossing over his Nation of Islam background. When it did finally come up, he proved his fitness for head of the DNC by simply lying about it.

When Jews associated with the local chapter of the Jewish Community Relations Council, questioned his NOI ties, Keith Ellison wrote them a letter stating emphatically that his involvement with the Nation Of Islam only lasted 18 months around the time of the Million Man March, that he had no clue about the anti-semitic nature of the group and that he quit as soon as he found out.

As you can tell by the above timeline and history, he was lying in every respect about that, but the gullible Jews bought in and got behind him, and being that it's a safe Democrat district, he got in easily.

But wait there's more! There's also a whole other side to Keith Ellison's background. It involves his connections with Islamist, Muslim Brotherhood front groups like CAIR, the Muslim Public Affairs Committee(MPAC) and the International Institute of Islamic Thought.

And he's had some interesting backers, among them Nihad Awad (a self-identified supporter of Hamas who would have been jailed for material aid to terrorism if not for Obama's protection), who spoke at an August 25, 2006 fundraiser for Ellison. The likely head of the DNC accepted thousands of dollars in campaign donations raised by Awad.

And he also spoke at CAIR-Tampa's sixth annual banquet, where he urged his listeners to support Sami al-Arian, the former University of South Florida professor who had confessed two years earlier to material support for terrorism in raising money and performing other services for the Iran backed terrorist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

And there's Ellison commenting on America's military response to 9/11 in a July 2007 speech by comparing comparing it to how the Nazis had exploited the 1933 burning of the Reichstag in Berlin: “It’s almost like the Reichstag fire, kind of reminds me of that. After the Reichstag was burned, they blamed the Communists for it, and it put the leader [Hitler] of that country in a position where he could basically have authority to do whatever he wanted.”

How's that for combining conspiracy theory, calling Republicans Nazis and supine appeasement in one short paragraph? He's brilliant, I tell you.

He's also a radical eat-the-rich advocate who admitted in a February 2013 interview with Fox News' Stuart Varney that he thinks it is “fair” for the wealthy to be taxed at whatever rate is necessary to raise money for the provision of services to more deserving lower-income Americans.

There's a lot more, but Keith Ellison's qualifications to be DNC head are clear. Let's sum them up.

Ellison has continued to be close to CAIR and other Islamist organizations. He's a J-Street darling and a reliable anti-Israel vote in Congress. He's a far left uber progressive, and he's a member of two, get it two Democrat grievance groups, a Muslim and black. And to top it all off, he shown a proven ability to lie convincingly to Jews about his racist, anti-semitic associations! He's PERFECT and embodies the Democrat party's policies and new direction. He's exactly the right guy to head the DNC, and I congratulate them on their choice.

Tim Kaine: Muslim Brotherhood Ties, Communist Groupie, And Grifter

Now that there's a fair amount of noise about Mrs. Clinton being forced to drop out of the race (remember just a short time ago when her campaign was threatening the media not to make an issue out of her health?)there's been some speculation about Tim Kaine, her running mate taking over the top slot.

He's escaped much scrutiny thus far, so let's take a look at him, shall we? it isn't a pretty sight, believe me.

First of all, when you do some research, you find out that Kaine was quite the Sandinista groupie at one time and has publicly never regretted it. The reverse, in fact.

Even Pravda on the Hudson presented a sanitized version of Kaine's
life transforming "mission" trip to Latin America in 1980. What this story leaves out, of course, is Kaine's wholesale embrace of the Sandinistas and radical 'liberation theology', something even Pope Francis has disavowed.

What it was, of course, was a Soviet disinformation plan to use radical elements to infiltrate the Catholic Church and bring Catholic Latin American countries under the Soviet thumb. The highest ranking Soviet defector, General Ion Pacepa has openly admitted that he participated in this.

Liberation theology became a big deal among certain Jesuits, some of whom were actually expelled from Latin American countries after being arrested for fomenting communist revolution and for gunrunning. This happened while Kaine was on his mission, and one extremely radical American-born Jesuit who was actually expelled from the order was Father Jim Carney. That's the priest Pravda-on-the-Hudson tells us Kaine sought out as his mentor, without, of course, much info on who Father Carney actually was.

Carney was a full-blown communist apparatchnik. In 1983, Carney was part of a 96-man unit that invaded Honduras to violently export the Sandinista Communist 'revolution'* there too, using Cuban and Nicaraguan trained guerillas led by Jose Reyes Mata, one of the murderous Che Guevara's officers n Bolivia.

Honduran troops fortunately intercepted the communist guerrillas,and Reyes Mata was captured and killed, along with Carney. Kaine wrote publicly at that time, blaming America his death. The idea of the Sandinistas brutalizing and enslaving the Honduran people as they had in Nicaragua didn't bother him one bit. He was, as they say, a true believer.

And he still is. Today, his mentor in Liberation theology is someone who most people consider Carney's successor, Father Melo, who favors Soviet-style collectivism and land distribution.

Then, there's Tim Kaine's Muslim Brotherhood ties.

As governor of Virginia, Kaine appointed a Hamas supporter to a state immigration commission, spoke at a dinner honoring a Muslim Brotherhood terrorist suspect and took donations from well-known Islamist groups.

In 2007, Governor Kaine appointed Dr. Esam Omeish, the president of the Muslim American Society (MAS), one of the Muslim Brotherhood's front groups here in America.

Omeish also served for two years on the national board of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), which the Justice Department also labeled as a U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entity and unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial, which was basically a money laundering scam for Hamas. Omeish would be in jail if it wasn't for President Obama and former attorney general Eric Holder.

Kaine was forced to fire him, but only after heavy pressure from Virginia delegates and the press when online videos of Omeish surfaced showing him accusing Israel of genocide against Palestinians and exhorting Muslims to “the jihad way.”

This is by no means Kaine's only tie to Islamists. In September 2011, Kaine spoke at a “Candidates Night” dinner organized by the New Dominion PAC that presented a Lifetime Achievement Award for Jamal Barzinji, a prominent figure in America's Muslim Brotherhood who almost was prosecuted for material aid to terrorism until the Obama Administration let him off the hook like Omeish and the other Islamists.

Barzinji has played a major role in nearly every Brotherhood front in the U.S. and was vice president of the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT), which is a name my readers might recognize. Barzinji's group was closely allied to Palestinian Islamic Jihad operative Sami Al-Arian who was convicted by the Bush Administration under the RICO statutes for conspiracy to commit aid to terrorism among other things.

Barzinji's IIIT also donated money to Kaine's campaign, giving him $10,000 in 2011 via the New Dominion PAC, the organization that held the event honoring Barzinji that Kaine spoke at. The Barzinji-tied New Dominion PAC also donated $43,050 to Kaine’s gubernatorial campaign.

This  PAC has very strong ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and the Democratic Party in Virginia,  and gave Kaine and others almost $257,000 in donations. Barzinji’s grandson served in Governor McAuliffe’s administration before becoming the Obama Administration’s liaison to the Muslim-American community.

 Another $4,300 donated to Kaine’s Senate campaign in 2011-2012 came from officials of the aforementioned Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Another $3,500 came from Hisham Al-Talib, a leader from Barzinji’s IIIT organization.

This likely explains why Tim Kaine was a leader in trying to dis-invite Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu from speaking to a joint session of Congress in March of 2015 and boycotted the speech like a lot of other Democrats when he was unsuccessful. it's about what you can expect when a politician cheerfully takes money from Islamist groups and appoints a Hamas ally to a high state position.

Finally, we get to Tim Kaine's real qualification as Hillary's Mini-Me, his appetite for using his position to feather his nest.

As Lieutenant Governor and Governor, Kaine reportedly “took advantage of the state’s lax gift laws to receive,” among other things, “an $18,000 Caribbean vacation, $5,500 in clothes and a trip to watch George Mason University play in the NCAA basketball Final Four during his years as lieutenant governor and governor.” The report found that Kaine “reported more than $160,000 in gifts from 2001 to 2009, mostly for travel to and from political events and conferences.”

This is the same sort of thing Republican governor Bob McDonnell was indicted form but Kaine apparently was able to use his connections to skate on.

So now you know a lot about who Tim Kaine is. It's easy to see why Clinton picked him...but the political rationale, that he can carry Virginia for her is something he may not be able to swing. He's not particularly well thought of in a lot of circles there, even with Northern Virginia loaded with fellow Democrat feeders at the Obama Administration's trough in DC.

I'll finish up by saying that there's very little chance of Mrs. Clinton dropping out of the race if she's still breathing. Her presidency has already been sold at lucrative prices to numerous donors foreign and domestic who expect favorable treatment on the come for their Clinton Foundation donations, speaking gigs for her disreputable husband and campaign contributions.

If she loses, that's one thing. It's an investment that didn't come off. But if she drops out, they're going to be knocking on the Clinton's door wanting their money back and the interaction is going to get extremely unpleasant when they find out she can't give the money back, either because it's already been spent or because it's locked up in the Foundation. She has to continue.

President Obama's Choice Of Which U.S. Mosque To Visit Is No Mystery

President Obama is making a highly publicized visit to the Islamic Society of Baltimore , his first to a mosque located in the U.S.

The purpose of the trip, according to the White House, is to “celebrate the contributions Muslim Americans make to our nation and reaffirm the importance of religious freedom to our way of life.”

Odd words, considering how the White House is facing court challenges over alleged violations of First Amendment freedom of religion rights for Christians, and Catholics in particular. But even more interesting is that few people are attempting to answer the question, why this particular mosque?

It's quite simple, really.

If one looks at President Obama's policies, there's one major common thread - the empowerment and support for Islamists, whether it is in Egypt, Libya, Gaza, Tunisia or at home in the U.S.

The ISB mosque is one of a large number of mosques controlled by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), a Muslim brotherhood front group named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2008 Holy Land Foundation terror case. Several executives with that organization were convicted of illegally laundering money to aid Hamas, and the only reason the group wasn't formally indicted along with CAIR and a number of other Muslim Brotherhood front groups was because President Obama had his attorney general, Eric Holder file 'disinclination to prosecute' motions to protect them and terminate what would have been certain convictions and jail terms for most of the leaders of these groups for money laundering, perjury and material aid to terrorism.

The ISB itself has a long history of radicalism. Its imam for fifteen years, Mohammad Adam el-Sheikh came to the ISB mosque and served as imam from 1983 to 1989 and from 1994 to 2003 after long membership in the Muslim Brotherhood in the Sudan in the 1970s. He left in 2003 to co-found the Muslim American Society, a group based in Virginia that is another front group controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood. It's mosque, where el-Sheikh served as imam is the Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church.

Dar al-Hijrah's previous imam was none other than Anwar al-Awlaki . He was a notorious American al-Qaeda operative who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2011 and helped radicalize, among others, U.S. Army major Nidal Hasan, who murdered 13 people at Fort Hood Texas in November of 2009.

El-Sheikh also has had nothing but praise and excuses for Palestinians who commit terrorist atrocities against Israelis.

And even more interesting is the fact that a president who claims to be outspokenly in favor of gay rights would visit a mosque where the resident scholar, Yaseen Shaikh is openly against any tolerance for homosexuality according to a YouTube video he published.

There are any number of mosques without this baggage available, and the White House certainly had the ability to find one. But the fact remains that President Obama chose the Islamic Society Of Baltimore, and there's no real mystery here as to the message he's sending by picking that particular one.

The Heart Of The Matter

A great deal has been written and said about the attacks in San Bernardino, President Obama's unserious, know nothing speech in response and subjects like ISIS, Muslim 'radicalization', Islam and immigration.

Much of it has been pretty good, some of it has been insightful and a lot of it has been deliberately misleading. For a good sample of the latter read Obama bootlicker Dan Balz's piece in the Washington Post essentially calling Donald Trump the equivalent of Adolf Hitler for merely proposing the entirely reasonable suggestion that we put a temporary moratorium on migrations from certain Muslim countries until we have the ability to vet them better. At one point,Balz even equates The Donald with - wait for it- anti-Semites like Father Coughlin in the 1930's. You can't make this stuff up.

Like Obama spokesmouth Josh Earnest, it's ironic that these two minions both have surnames that are the exact opposites of their actual characters.

Another thing that's funny is that that the same people, both Republicans and Democrats whom whine constantly about our 'broken immigration system' are absolutely horrified at the idea of stopping migration to America  from an increasingly dangerous part of the world until it's fixed.And that, of course, includes our president.

You might almost think they're Up To Something...and of course they are.

Have you ever wondered how things got to this state, when the most powerful military and the huge intrusive security apparatus that was assembled after 9/11 is so ineffectual that this war still goes on 14 years after 9/11 and a couple of ISIS groupies could assemble explosive devices and acquire AK 47's and thousands of rounds of ammo with their own little jihadi cell in a place like San Bernardino, plan an attack and carry it off so easily? Have you ever wondered why so many Muslims, especially younger ones become jihadis and why the problem keeps increasing?

Part of it, of course is the actual nature of Islam, much of which is fascist, cruel, misogynist and violent. Most Muslims aren't, not by any means. But it is the Islamic fascism brand name that is increasingly being imported into America and elsewhere in the Western world, and as that continues, more and more Muslims, especially younger ones are going to identify with it, because it appears to be winning.

The same thing occurred in Nazi Germany. I call it my 20-60-20 formula. Any political movement or ideology, which is exactly what Islamic fascism is, will start with a hardened core of True Believers willing to go to any lengths to win. As they get more notoriety and become more established, there will be a roughly equal amount of people who are horrified by them and who rigidly, sometimes vociferously oppose them.And then there's the 60% in the middle, some of whom may lean one way or the other but essentially are more interested in just day to day life. But as one side or the other appears to be winning, more and more of the 60% start drifting more and more to what looks the winning side. That's exactly what we're seeing now. Why has this happened?

The fact is that the last two presidents (and Mrs. Clinton) were essentially bought and sold by the Saudis, Qatar and the Emirates, along with a lot of other politicians, diplomats,and other government functionaries.

Their reward for faithful service once they left office was the funding of presidential libraries, six figure speaking fees, honorariums and 'consulting' fees, lucrative business opportunities (just research how Bill Clinton became a multi-millionaire) and generous gifts to presidential 'foundations' like the Clinton Foundation. All one needs to do is to follow the money and watch where it leads.

What the Arabs bought with their money was the US military to use as needed for their personal mercenaries, a guaranteed market for their oil while we sold our domestic oil elsewhere, immunity from any prosecution for their support for terrorism, policy influence...and oh yes, a free hand to do aggressive dawa and indoctrination for their extremely fundamentalist version of Islam via the Muslim Brotherhood front organizations who took over something like 80% of America's mosques via the North American Islamic Trust - and replaced the imams with their own radical choices.

Add appeasement of Iran and a clueless president to the mix and you have our present situation in a nutshell.

This is why whenever a jihadi attack occurs on American soil, the perpetrators can almost always be traced to attendance at a Muslim Brotherhood owned mosque with a radical imam in charge and lots of 'educational materials' promoting jihad, Islamist doctrine and martyrdom. President George W. Bush actually spoke at one of these mosques, the Saudi funded Washington Islamic Center.

The Saudis and the others were particularly willing to fund this effort not only to spread Wahhabi Islam but  to get the Muslim Brotherhood firebrands out of their countries, where they posed a risk to the House of Saud and other autocratically ruled kingdoms. And they continue to fund it today, with increasing success because of the increase in Muslim migration to America, aided and abetted by the last three administrations. President Barack Hussein Obama alone has brought almost one million Muslims into America and many of them are bringing certain attitudes with them that do not mix at all well with Western culture.

Our current president is a True Believer who welcomes the alliance between prog-fascists and Islamists. And he has a number of Islamists and their sympathizers in low profile but influential positions, even in Homeland Security. If you look at his domestic and foreign policy, one common thread in both is to protect and empower Islamist and the Muslim Brotherhood, whether it's keeping them out of jail for aiding and abetting terrorism, getting into an illegal war in Libya to empower them, siccing his Department of Justice on anyone whom opposes them in the least , liberating dangerous jihadis from Guantanamo or doing his best to allow them to take over Egypt.

And that of course is the heart of the matter. Most average people in the Western World have finally gotten beyond the media fog and the absurd rhetoric of many of their so called leaders and elites to realize what many of us figured out a long time ago, that we're in a war with at least a significant portion of Islam, with what I prefer to call Islamist fascism. That's at least a start, to actually realize that we're fighting an ideology rather than 'terrorists' or 'terrorism'. And there are any number of good ideas on how to fight that war and win.

We defeated the Nazis and the Japanese in 3 and half years, starting out with a much weaker military than we have now, and they were far stronger than our present adversaries.

But the biggest problem we have, and the one that could defeat us is leadership. It is lack of it that got us to this point and a continued lack of it that will cost us even more dearly than it has already.

Hearing Barack Obama refer to himself as 'commander in chief' in his absurd 13-minute speech the other night brings the problem home. Any military leader with his record would have been relieved of command long ago.

A different Congress would have impeached Barack Obama long ago for this and many other reasons, but that's unfortunately not likely. Elections have consequences, and so does passively tolerating the results and not insisting that our representatives fulfill their oats and take action.

No progress is going to occur on winning this war until Barack Obama and his sordid gang are out of office, because winning this war is the last thing they want, believe it or not. They'd prefer to maintain their relationships with our enemies, 'manage' this and run out the clock, because while they mouth platitudes about how they're serving the country, their own personal interests take precedence over that. And that includes political interests as well as financial ones. Can anyone imagine Hillary Clinton making demands or taking the fight to some of the biggest donors to her 'charitable foundation?'

For all the bold words out there about taking out ISIS and 'fighting terrorism', it's leadership we need to focus on most of all right now. We've already seen in the last 23 years what happens without it.
And there are signs that the leadership we need is developing as the West awakens from its long, enforced slumber and realizes that the knife is at its throat.

In the meantime, we can work to install that leadership and insist that the entire baggage of political correctness and appeasement of Islamic fascism our elites have fostered is ridiculed, shamed, opposed and shouted down for the lethal poison it is. If we don't it will kill us.

Obama Soils Himself At The UN With Weakness, Appeasement And Israel Bashing

 

President Barack Hussein Obama addressed the UN General Assembly today. Even by Obama standards, an admittedly low bar, it was a turgid speech that lacked even elementary common sense, and threw out gratuitous insults that undercut its supposed goals. But it's worth analyzing as a clear indicator of how this president thinks and what he's planning as commander-in-chief.

The president, of course, sees the Ebola outbreak, Russian aggression and Islamist terrorism as all problems that have been caused by America not giving enough money and resources to the UN, or in ObamaSpeak, "the failure of our international system to keep pace with an interconnected world."

Of course, the president also includes Israel in those problems, but more on that shortly.

As always, President Obama substituted verbiage for real action. He took a few minutes to bash Russia over the situation with Ukraine, explicitly comparing them with Nazi Germany.

Now, here's something to consider. This president is already having problems building an 'international coalition' that means anything more than a little logistical support and a handful of Arab nations making token contributions to the air strikes against Islamic State.

Remember too, that Putin understood a long time before President Obama that the Syrian opposition were mostly Islamist jihadis, and that it was Russia's Putin that approached Obama about crafting a diplomatic solution for Syria - only to be double crossed by the president when Putin found out Obama was covertly arming and training what became ISIS and had secretly moved 1,800 troops to the Syria/Jordan border.You'd think that perhaps one of his advisers might have mentioned that Russia is an important actor in the region, that any UN action of the kind the president was talking about would require Russia's assent, and that the Ukraine was perhaps best dealt with in an actual private interaction between the U.S. and Russia. But of course, no one can tell this president anything, except maybe Valerie Jarret. So out came the nasty and counterproductive rhetoric.

It reminds me of nothing so much as a weak, obnoxious ten-year-old on the playground shouting out schoolboy insults at other kids, knowing he's safe because Teacher Is Watching.

And by the way...is anyone considering that the president is making air strikes on Syria and arming Islamist 'rebels' who want to overthrow Basher Assad, something not too much different than he's accusing Russia of doing in Ukraine? Certainly the Russians will see it that way.And react accordingly.

The president went on to mention his pursuit of 'a diplomatic resolution to the Iranian nuclear issue', urging Iran to "take this historic opportunity." Considering how America has appeased the Iranian regime and allowed the Iranians to play for time as Iran ramps up its enrichment and weapons development, I'm sure the Iranians would agree that they are definitely taking this historic opportunity they're being offered. Just not the one the president's talking about.

 

After some blather about climate change, the president went on to use almost one third of his speech to talk about what a peaceful religion Islam is, and how The Islamic State (AKA ISIS) have nothing to do with Islam whatsoever. Oddly enough, at one point, after saying they have nothing to do with Islam, he referred to them as “religiously motivated fanatics” , even if they are universally Muslims, and even if their leader, al-Baghdadi has a doctorate in Islamic studies from Baghdad University!

In another part of the speech, he again retreated into Obama Fantasyland, talking about how he defeated al-Qaeda (he arguably strengthened it), is supporting a sovereign government in Iraq and chest thumped about how he "supported a transition to a sovereign Afghan government" as 'triumphs'.

He then went on to assure those “religiously motivated fanatics” that the U.S. isn't ever going to put boots on the ground or invade their countries. Taking ground troops off the table and tipping off our enemies in the region in advance about our weakness and lack of a working strategy is pretty bad, although it certainly appeases his Leftist base. But here's something else that seems to not square at all with what he calls his 'successes' in Iraq and Afghanistan. What passes for 'sovereign governments' in those countries was only achieved after an American military occupation. Yet he's already telling the world (and our enemies) he's not going to use the tool that achieved whatthe president calls his 'successes' in this latest conflict!

After which he of course says, standing before the most corrupt and wasteful institution in the world, that the real solution to dealing with those “religiously motivated fanatics” who have nothing to do with Islam is for the West to gift the UN a lot more money for development in an area that just happens to be exclusively Muslims, serially corrupt and governed by the Religion of Peace!

The most surreal part of the speech is where he talks about attacking all those “religiously motivated fanatics” who have nothing to do with Islam ideologically. Or, to quote this president directly, "That means cutting off the funding that fuels this hate. It’s time to end the hypocrisy of those who accumulate wealth through the global economy, and then siphon funds to those who teach children to tear it down."

Well! I'm certainly relieved to hear that America is going to pull all of its forces out of Qatar, cancel that $11 billion arms deal that the president just approved with them and introduce sanctions on sales of Qatari oil and gas as well as banking sanctions that won't allow any financial institution dealing with Qatar to be involved in any financial transaction with American banks, just as President Bush did with al-Qaeda.

And also, that America is going to cut off the funds from overseas that finance all of the Muslim Brotherhood linked jihadi mosques and madrassahs here in America.

Oh, wait..that's just the president running his mouth again! We aren't actually going to do anything concrete that really involves "cutting off the funding that fuels this hate."

But wait, there's more:

"All religions have been attacked by extremists from within at some point, and all people of faith have a responsibility to lift up the value at the heart of all religion: do unto thy neighbor as you would have done unto you."

"The ideology of ISIL or al Qaeda or Boko Haram will wilt and die if it is consistently exposed, confronted, and refuted in the light of day. Look at the new Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies – Sheikh bin Bayyah described its purpose: “We must declare war on war, so the outcome will be peace upon peace.”

Hmmmm...

Now as it happens, I'm not unfamiliar with the Qu'ran,and while I don't recall much at all about 'do unto thy neighbor as you would have done unto you' unless we're talking about how Muslims are supposed to treat fellow Muslims, there's all sorts of things in there about fighting the unbelievers, being harsh with them, making them pay outrageous taxes in exchange for the right to life and generally taking their rights away altogether..particularly if they're women. In fact, the Qu'ran says specifically not to take unbelievers as friends, (Qu'ran 5:51), calling them Muslim's 'inveterate foe' (4:101), that 'those who reject Islam serve the cause of evil'(4:76). In fact, according to all the hadiths, Mohammed himself shortly before his death enjoined all Muslims to fight the unbelievers until they died, became Muslims, or paid the jirzya (the heavy monetary tribute literally, protection money) willingly and 'felt themselves subdued.'

Now while a lot of Muslims reject this, there are also quite a few who see it as authentic Islam and it's more than just a few “religiously motivated fanatics.”

So our president is either willfully and knowingly lying, hideously ignorant, has a very different idea than most people about what constitutes terrorism and fanaticism that most of the rest of us, or perhaps all three.

That he sought to rationalize what's going on in Islam by saying "All religions have been attacked by extremists from within at some point" (news to Buddhists, Jews and many Christian denominations!) and cites Sheik Abdullah bin Bayyah as his example of a 'peaceful, moderate Muslim leader' who can aid the West in combating jihad.

Really?

Sheik bin Bayyah is the principal deputy to Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the Muslim Brotherhood’s spiritual leader who favors a second Holocaust against Jews performed by Muslims, genocide and ethnic cleansing in Israel, female circumcision and wife beating, and the establishment of the Caliphate under strict sharia law.

Sheik bin Bayyah works with Qaradawi as second in command of Qaradawi's International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS) which among other things strongly supports Hamas, an officially designated terrorist organization designated as such under American law. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Turkey’s Islamist anti-semitic president Tayyip Erdogan are both members of IUMS.

The group is violently anti-Israel, and bin Bayyh himself issued a fatwa in 2004 calling the killing of U.S. troops in Iraq 'a duty for all Muslims.'

The president has perhaps forgotten(or more likely,shrugged off) that when most Islamists use the term 'peace' they mean something very different than we do. They means Dar Islam, the 'peace' that will come when Muslims rule the world and all of Dar Harb (literally 'the house of war' the part of the world ruled by non-Muslims) has been conquered and subdued.

The Sheik has never formally broken with Qaradawi or Hamas, but merely claims he left the IUMS 'about a year ago.'. And this hardcore Islamist is the example of 'moderate Islam' being pushed by the president. For that matter, even Qaradawi himself isn't exactly considered off limits when it comes to the Obama regime.

And oh yes, of course the president had something to say about Israel. According to the president, too many Israelis are "ready to abandon the hard work of peace" after having to live for years of being attacked, of genocidal terrorism and with having their very legitimacy as a nation with a right to defend themselves essentially ignored by most of the UN.

And that's Israel fault, or as President Obama said, departing from his printed remarks made available to reporters beforehand, "And that’s something worthy of reflection within Israel."

It's not something Hamas, Hezbollah and the Palestinian Authority ought to think about, you see...just those pesky Israelis. It's their fault. After that, the president went back to the script:

"But let’s be clear: the status quo in the West Bank and Gaza is not sustainable. We cannot afford to turn away from this effort – not when rockets are fired at innocent Israelis, or the lives of so many Palestinian children are taken from us in Gaza. So long as I am President, we will stand up for the principle that Israelis, Palestinians, the region, and the world will be more just with two states living side by side, in peace and security."

Rockets have been being fired at Israelis all throughout the Obama presidency. Has he ever done anything about it? Nope. In fact, he's been funding Hamas through USAid and through the Palestinian Authority for quite some time.

Notice too how our Dear Leader equates Hamas's terrorist aggression with Israel defending itself. And of course, it's Israel that are the child killers..forget about Hamas using children for human shields or using schools, mosques, hospitals and UN facilities as rocket and mortar launching sites for their military.

Abbas and the PLO are allied with the genocidal Hamas and the Palestinian Authority is making no attempt whatsoever to disassociate themselves from Hamas - the reverse in fact. Yet President Obama has the unmitigated gall to tell Israel that they had better make even more concessions and work a lot harder at making peace with people who have sworn to kill them.

I doubt it's a coincidence that the president made this speech in front of the UN when he knew very well that Israeli PM Benyamin Netanyahu is en route to address the UN in a day or so. It's the same thing he did the last time Netanyahu came to America, a blatant attempt to poison the water and undercut him.

Then again, think about this. If you were actually trying to work on a peaceful solution to the conflict between Israel and the Arabs whom identify themselves as Palestinians, would you signal your bias in this fashion? Would you signal a country that is supposedly your ally that you can't be trusted and reveal the same thing to its enemies?

In this speech to the UN, President Barack Hussein Obama gives us a classic rundown on why he is such an abysmal failure; his refusal to recognize reality, his ability to continue to lie to himself as well as to others, his weakness, his duplicity, his inability to admit mistakes or ever take responsibility for anything, his blatant hypocrisy and most of all his low moral character.

Such men can destroy if they attain power, but in the end they can build nothing at all.

This speech tells us why President Obama's place in history is assured. That at least is certain.

Islamist DHS Adviser Fired Amid Allegations of Cover Up

Mohamed Elibiary, an avowed Islamist and Muslim Brotherhood enabler has 'resigned' from his position as senior member of DHS’ Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC).

Elibiary has been a fairly controversial figure at the DHS. Among other things, he was busted for tweeting about the “inevitable” return of the Muslim “caliphate” something that was used as propaganda by ISIS. This was part of a series of posts deemed inappropriate for a senior government adviser, including one where he said he considered the United States to be an "Islamic country" and another where he suggested that national security "uber hawks camp misread 9/11."

But the real kicker was his purported access of confidential DHS databases on several occasions and his attempt to leak them to a far Left site, something I've written about before. Once this became known, it sparked a number of congressional inquiries, many of them from Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-TX).

 

Exactly what Elibiary used his security clearance to access is unknown, simply because the DHS found it expedient not to delve too deeply, even with the existing evidence and testimony from the site Elibiary attempted to leak documents to. There were numerous instances of various officials providing murky and even contradictory answers about whether DHS ever fully investigated the allegations that Elibiary inappropriately accessed classified documents from the DHS database.

Judicial Watch finally asked for details via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) suit, citing the exact documents that Elibiary allegedly leaked...only to be informed they suddenly don't exist!

“We conducted a comprehensive search of files within the DHS Enterprise Correspondence Tracking System (ECT) for records that would be responsive to your request. Unfortunately, we were unable to locate or identify any responsive records,” DHS informed Judicial Watch in a Sept. 16, 2013, letter.

DHS couldn't find “investigative records regarding the alleged mishandling and any records of communication between any official, employee, or representative of the Department of Homeland Security and any member of Congress, congressional staff member, congressional committee, and/or congressional committee staff member regarding the alleged mishandling.”

In other words, since the documents didn't exist, neither did any documentation regarding an investigation!

Rep. Gohmert felt that the Judicial Watch documents proved that the DHS simply swept this under the rug.. “There was no legitimate investigation. They didn’t say these documents are classified or secure, they said no such documents exist.”

And of course, neither does the investigation.

What happened here is that DHS likely tried to stonewall the investigation into illegally accessing the database in hopes it would blow over. But they got tired of continued digging and congressional inquiries, and Elibiary's radical social media posts made him a liability they couldn't afford anymore. So he's gone.

But you have to wonder how many other Islamist moles who are a lot more careful and discreet exist in our national security establishment.

 

Saudis designate Muslim Brotherhood As A Terrorist Group

According to Saudi-owned Al Arabiya television, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has formally designated President Obama's favorite Islamists, the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group, citing a statement by the Interior Ministry.

The kingdom has also designated the Nusra Front and the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant as terrorist groups, both of whose fighters are active in Iraq and in Syria against President Bashar Assad as terrorist organizations.

Amazing that the Saudis are so far ahead of us on this.

Egypt Bans Hamas As A Terrorist Group

An Egyptian court has outlawed Muslim Brotherhood franchise Hamas as a terrorist group, closed its offices in Egypt and banned any Hamas activity in the country.

Like the Muslim Brotherhood, which Egypt has also banned, this stems from the ongoing treason trial of Mohamed Morsi, Egypt's deposed leader as well as Hamas activities in the Gaza Strip, where Egypt is accusing Hamas of supporting the al Qaeda-linked Islamists who have targeted Egyptian troops and tourists in Sinai.

One count accuses Hamas of helping Morsi in his escape from prison in 2011 and the other case accuses Morsi and other Brotherhood members of leaking state secrets to Hamas.

The court ruling is pretty much just the icing on the cake, since Egypt has already cracked down on the tunnels used for smuggling weapons, prostitutes, drugs and other items in and out of Gaza. And there's also the added benefit to Egypt of being able to tax consumer goods being imported in.

The Egyptian news site Al Ahram is reporting that the ban is 'temporary' pending the outcome of the court cases, but Morsi is pretty much a sure thing to be convicted and I'd be surprised if the ban didn't turn out to be permanent. Al-Sissi and the current government have made no secret about how much they despise Hamas and want them out of control of Gaza.

Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri characterized the ruling as targeting the Palestinian cause.

“The decision harms the image of Egypt and its role towards the Palestinian cause. It reflects a form of standing against Palestinian resistance,” Abu Zuhri said. Apparently the Egyptians prefer Fatah as their designated Palestinian terrorist group.

Deputy Political Bureau Chief of Hamas Musa Abu Marzouk, who lives in Cairo can be expected to flee to avoid arrest, most likely to Gaza.He's the second-in-command to Hamas Politbureau chief Khalid Mesh'aal, so he's a very big fish indeed.

 

Marzouk, who specializes in money laundering is also on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of “Specially Designated Nationals” with whom financial transactions are prohibited and is wanted in connection with a number of felonies, but oddly enough, the Obama Administration has never seen fit to ask for his extradition.

Perhaps that's not so odd.

Obama Appoints Hamas Ally To Key National Security Post

The man pictured above is Robert Malley. Today, it was announced that President Obama has appointed him the senior director at the National Security Council (NSC).

The NSC is the key body that advises President Obama and helps make decisions on national security and foreign policy matters. Its members consist of,among others, the vice president, the Secretaries of State, Homeland Security and Defense, the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Director of National Intelligence, the president's National Security Advisor and the deputy Adviser, the Attorney General and the president's UN Adviser.Other special assistants to the president also attend as required.

In other words, this is President Obama's 'inner cabinet' on national security, so to speak. The members, the top level members of the Obama Administrations, are privy to all of America's intelligence, planning and confidential data.

So who is Robert Malley?

Of Syrian descent,he was a Clinton-era National Security Council staffer known for his tirades against Israel and his championing of Yasser Arafat. He made waves by blaming the Israelis for the failure of the 2000 Camp David summit, thereby contradicting the words of President Bill Clinton and every other U.S. official present, and rationalizing and defending Arafat’s terrorist war on Israel's civilians.

Malley was a close crony of then presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama and a foreign policy adviser to the campaign back in 2008. Way back then, Candidate Obama still saw the necessity of getting clueless American Jews to vote for him, so when it surfaced that Robert Malley was meeting actively with the genocidal terrorist group Hamas, Obama took the opportunity to remove him from the campaign in 2008 as a gesture to prove his pro-Israel bonifides.

According to 18 U.S. Code § 2339B, providing material assistance to a designated terrorist group (which includes advice) is supposedly a federal offense, But Robert Malley had powerful friends (including Clinton NSA adviser Sandy Berger and Senator Barack Obama, whom he was pals with at Harvard) so he simply drifted back into the world of think tanks, where he could be relied on to write articles and make speeches demonizing Israel.

And actually, according to he Arabic-language newspaper Al-Hayat, Malley never really left Obama's circle. Al-Hayat reported that Hamas engaged in talks with Obama for months through Malley, which among other things resulted in their receiving almost a billion of your tax dollars from President Obama.

Robert Malley comes by this honestly. His father Simon was a very Marxist journalist who shilled for Algeria's terrorist FLN, Egyptian dictator Gamel Abdul Nasser, African Marxist dictators like Kwame Nkrumah and Ahmed Sékou Touré, Fidel Castro, and of course, Yasser Arafat, of whom he was especially fond. Needless to say, Simon Malley also had an outspoken hatred towards Israel, and the apple definitely did not fall far from the tree.

Once Barack Obama became president, as we now know, he spent a great deal of time during his first term concentrating on bashing and attacking the Israel, giving the Arabs whom identify themselves as Palestinians more U.S. money than they'd ever seen in their lives and in general behaving like Mahmoud Abbas' own special community organizer.

That moderated a bit in 2012 when the president needed to fool people again for his re-election, but now that President Obama has no need to dissemble any longer, Malley will join the other members of the Obama Administration who have a long time record of hostility towards Israel.And he will be privy to America's most highly classified secrets.

Malley has some interesting ties with Islamists worth looking at. Among Malley's close associates is Wadah Khanfar, a Hamas activist based in the Middle East and South Africa (where he headed the International Islamic Federation of Student Organizations) and now a key figure with al-Jazeera, AKA Jihad TV. According to one of my sources, Malley also has a relationship with our old friend Muslim Brotherhood leader Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a foul genocidal maniac who is too dirty even to be allowed into the U.S.

Another Malley associate is Anwar Ibrahim, who heads the Muslim Brotherhood organization in Malaysia and at one time was on the board of Malley's International Crisis Group. Ibrahim was also one of the founders of the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT) in America, a Muslim Brotherhood front that should ring a few bells to people familiar with Islamist terrorism. The IIIT also has an important connection to President Obama's Brotherhood friendly ambassador to the anti-Semitic and Islamist Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), while  the co-founder and president of the International Institute of Islamic Thought, Shaykh Taha Jabir al-Awani, was an unindicted co-conspirator in the Sami al-Arian terrorism case.

Malley is also on good terms with Hamas PM Ismail Haniyeh, whom he worked with to get Hamas aid from President Obama and with Hamas Politbureau chief Khalid Mesha'al, and he has strong ties with the now outlawed Brotherhood in Egypt because of his father and his own assistance to the movement.

Needless to say, since this is a presidential appointee and not a cabinet post, there will be no confirmation hearing and no one is going to be questioning why someone like this is going to be in such a sensitive position.

So, what does all this mean?

Malley's official responsibility according to the White House is to oversee relations between the U.S. and its Persian Gulf allies. Because of the the falling out between the Brotherhood and the GCC countries including Saudi Arabia, putting a Brotherhood proponent in charge of relations sends a message that the Obama Administration is choosing to distance itself from these countries. And not just the GCC countries,but Jordan, struggling against a Muslim Brotherhood takeover and Egypt, who just outlawed the Brotherhood and whom the Saudis are now supporting financially.

And Malley's appoint also signals that the U.S. will continue to back President Obama's favorite Islamist leader, Turkey's Tayyip Erdoğan as he continues to push Turkey into an Islamist autocracy.

It also sends Israel a message that the Obama Administration intends to double down on the pressure to force Israel into major strategic concessions and indefensible borders.

But most importantly,it signals that President Obama is going to double down on his support for Islamists and that they will continue to have major access to policy making and to the very core of our intelligence and security secrets.

This is exactly how the Soviets operated in penetrating the Roosevelt and Truman administrations.

Muslim DHS Adviser Bashes 'Christianists' , Says Reporter Has 'Jewish Demeanor'

 

Members of Joshua's Army will be quite familiar with Mohamed Elibiary, a Texas-based Islamic cleric who's an outspoken proponent of the Muslim Brotherhood and one of President Obama's senior Department of Homeland Security advisers.


Elibiary has an ongoing close relationship with former Holy Land Foundation director and president and CEO Shukri Abu Baker, who was convicted in 2008 of financing the terrorist organization Hamas. And Elibiary was an influential voice in lobbying Attorney General Eric Holder to avoid prosecuting the senior executives of CAIR, The Islamic Society of North America, the North American Islamic Trust and a number of other Muslim Brotherhood front groups who were caught red handed money laundering and providing material aid to terrorism in the Holy Land Foundation trial.Although I somehow doubt Elibiary had to work all that hard, considering Eric Holder's record.

Among other things, Elibiary is a big fan of  Iran's Ayatollah Khomeni and his Islamist style villayat-e-fiqh style of theocratic government. When Dallas Morning News reporter Rod Dreher wrote about Elibiary's laudatory remarks on Khomeni and Islamist government at a December 2004 conference in Dallas, titled “A Tribute to the Great Islamic Visionary,” Elibiary threatened him with violence.

Elibiary is also an outspoken admirer of the ideas of Salifist Islamist writer Sayyid Qutb, widely quoted by al-Qaeda and other jihadist groups like the Brotherhood as an inspiration and guide for their activities.

And wait, there's more -  Elibiary was also caught abusing his access to the highly classified DPS database (the Homeland Security State and Local Intelligence Community of Interest, or HS SLIC) containing hundreds of thousands of intelligence reports that were supposed to be used solely to aid law-enforcement agencies.

Elibiary used this to put together a number of classified documents that he felt promoted “Islamophobia,” and tried to leak the classified files to a far Left media outlet, who refused to do the story because they felt the files failed to show any real DHS bias against Muslims. His access was subsequently revoked, but he not only was allowed to retain his post at the DHS but was actually promoted recently.

Elibiary made the news today with tweets referring to WND reporter Aaron Klein as 'having a Jewish demeanor' and bashing what he called 'Christianist Xenophobia':

Asked by WND to clarify his remarks, Elibiary replied, “Christianist” refers to “Christians who mix theology and nationalism. Christianists view today’s politics through a theologically influenced (Calvinist) view of America’s founding.”

Elibiary identified WND as falling into his definition of “Christianist.”

“WND certainly would often times fall in this camp as well as perhaps a subset of Christianists that political scientists refer to as ‘Christian Zionists’ because of its foreign policy worldview through a dispensationalist end-time theology.”

Klein, who has written for WND since 2004, replied that he is Jewish and not Christian.

Elibiary wrote back saying he assumed Klein was Jewish “with the last name of Klein and your demeanor in (sic) video I saw of you on Fox. But I also know WND (sic) ubber Christian.”

Mohamed Elibiary is a senior adviser on Homeland Security. And that says a great deal about the high regard Islamists are held in the Obama Administration.

Two Very Telling Scenes From America's Cities

The Islamic Society of Boston has an interesting history.

It runs the mosque of choice of, among others convicted jihadis Tarek Mehanna and Aafia Siddiqui  as well as the Tsarnaev brothers of Boston Marathon fame. The mosque itself is very much Muslim Brotherhood oriented, and claims the Muslim Brotherhood's spiritual leader Sheik Yusef al-Qaradawi as it's major influence and spiritual guide. Qaradawi openly advocates a world-wide Islamist caliphate under sharia law, including the beating of 'disobediant' women, female genital mutilation , death for homosexuals and apostates and a second Holocaust against Jews.


The Society used Qaradiwi's name in their fundraising, and are suspected of receiving Muslim Brotherhood funds to help build the mosque. He is actually listed as an honorary member of the board.

And it isn't just Qaradawi.One of the Islamic Society of Boston's eight founding members was Abdurahman Alamoudi, who was jailed for 23 years in 2004 for material support of Islamist terrorism and money laundering.

And speaking of back door deals, the mosque itself was built on publicly owned land belonging to the City of Boston worth $1.2 million that was mysteriously gifted to the Islamic Society of Boston free of charge by Boston's Mayor, Democrat Tom Menino.

You might think that  with this kind of history and the Boston Marathon bombing still fresh in people's minds, you might think local politicians would call for an investigation of this mosque and what's being taught there.You might think that at the very least, they would distance themselves a little.

Guess again, infidel!



Yes, that's Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, who worked directly with the Islamic Society of Boston to produce the state's first ever Eid ul-Adha greetings, less than a year after the Boston attack.

But let's move on to another American city that you'd think might be a little wary of associating too closely with the Brotherhood and jihadis...New York City.

 
 The Big Apple is electing a new mayor, and the man most likely to win is Democrat Bill de Blasio. He's an interesting fellow, who describes himself as a 'democratic Socialist'. That's not surprising, seeing as back in the 1990's he was a major activist for the Sadinistas, Nicaragua's hard line Marxist dictators. He's said publicly on more than one occasion that he remains proud of his association with them.

That might perhaps give thought to some of New York City's Jews, given that the Sadinistas were vociferously anti-Semitic, seizing the main synagogue in Managua, and transforming it into a Sandinista youth center decorated with Anti-Zionist posters.  They forced the president of the synagogue to humiliate himself by publicly sweeping the streets.  The Jewish community of Nicaragua, most of whom had their property 'liberated' by the regime fled to fled to Miami, Israel and Costa Rica.


But what might make New York city's population uneasy in general is his stand on terrorism.

New York City has been the site of a lot of terrorist attacks, and even more that have been foiled due to an active counter-intelligence program originally started by former mayor Rudy Giuliani.

For instance, back in 2009, four Muslims were arrested by the FBI and charged with, among other things, plotting to blow up local buildings associated with New York's Jewish community. Their planned targets included the Riverdale Jewish Comunity Center and the Riverdale Temple.

In 2011, two Muslim men were also arrested by the NYPD for plotting to do the same thing, and they reportedly already had the explosives to do it.

What stopped these and other attacks on New Yorkers was the NYPD's counter intelligence operation, using active surveillance and confidential informants willing to work with the police to bust jihadis.

If Bill de Blasio has his way, that will no longer be something that the NYPD will be able to do. He is promising New York's Muslims that he will end the program.

Democratic mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio told a group of Muslim supporters Wednesday that they won’t have to live in fear of being under constant surveillance if he’s elected mayor.

As WCBS 880′s Jim Smith reported, de Blasio, the front-runner in the Nov. 5 general election, said that, on his watch, NYPD surveillance tactics would only be authorized to follow up on specific leads and that the police force would be under the supervision of a new inspector general.

“The efforts of surveillance have to be based on specifically specific information, and obviously you need to go through a careful vetting process,” de Blasio said during a rally at Columbus Park in Downtown Brooklyn.

Actually, for the most part the NYPD has concentrated on individuals, and on infiltrating certain mosques and Muslim groups where they're quite aware of what's being preached and taught...often after tips by confidential informants on the inside.

Like Stop and Frisk, another program de Blasio says he'll eliminate, this is an example of proactive policing that has been credited with lowering New York City's crime rate.

Equally interesting is the woman de Blasio is pictured cuddling up to above, Linda Sarsour. She's the head of the Muslim Democratic Club in New York City and the director of the Arab American Association of New York , and a well connected and frequent visitor to the Obama White House.

She has referred to Zionism as racism repeatedly,is a prominent anti-Israel activist in the city, is on record as a frequent defender of Muslim terrorism suspects, frequently advances the viewpoint that America 'is at war with Islam' and is also known for peddling conspiracy theories, like claiming that the Underwear Bomber was a CIA agent. I've also heard but not confirmed independently that she's a 9/11 truther.

And she's a major supporter of de Blasio, who is wooing her support with pledges to radically change how the NYPD protest the city.

What do these two scenarios have in common? Here we have two American cities, both victimized by Islamist terrorism, whom you would think would have learned something from the experience and would be a lot more careful about whom they elected to be in charge.

And in both cases, it appears that the electorate, rather than screaming bloody murder is opting for leadership with the same head in the sand attitude that caused so much grief, pain and destruction before. We never seem to learn.


(h/t, Jihad Watch)

Egypt Outlaws The Muslim Brotherhood

An Egyptian court has issued orders banning the Muslim Brotherhood as well as "any institution branching out of it or ... receiving financial support from it" and ordered the confiscation of all of its "assets, funds and buildings".

This is a huge blow to Egypt's Islamist fascists, because The Brotherhood depends on social welfare organizations that it funds to build up grassroots political support. Even during the time the Brotherhood was officially banned, the Mubarak regime allowed a number of these organizations to continue operating. My guess is that the interim government plans to get rid of the Brotherhood once and for all, to the extent that's possible.

Oddly enough, the verdict not as a diktat from the al-Sissi interim government but from a lawsuit raised by lawyers from the leftist party Tagammu party, accusing the Brotherhood of being a "terrorist" and "exploiting religion in political slogans."

Still to come is the trial of Morsi, al-Badie and other Brotherhood figures. One fact that has emerged recently is that among other things, deposed Brotherhood President Morsi is supposed to have put out a contract on General Al-Sissi prior to Morsi's ouster and arrest.

Obama Breaks U.S. Law To Arm Al-Qaeda And The Brotherhood in Syria

The Hill reports today that President Obama has issued yet another executive order trashing federal law on U.S. arms sales to begin supplying anti-chemical weapons equipment to insurgent forces in Syria.

Under the Arms Export Control Act, the U.S. is prohibited from authorizing shipment of any item included in what's known as the U.S. Munitions List.

Paragraphs (a)-(c) of Category XIV specifically outlaws exporting “chemical agents” or “equipment for dissemination, detection, and identification of, and defense against” those agents.

Section 121.7(e) explicitly names “nerve agents, gases, and aerosols” under the definition of the chemical agents that the government is explicitly banned from exporting.

National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden informs us that by dint of President Obama's awesomeness, the laws forbidding these exports now no longer apply to “"international organizations ... [and] select vetted members of the Syrian opposition, including the Supreme Military Council.”

"This action is part of longstanding and ongoing efforts to provide life-saving chemical weapons-related assistance to people in need in Syria," Hayden added.

Need I mention that the Supreme Military Council, the armed wing of the Obama -backed Syrian Opposition Coalition is Muslim Brotherhood dominated?

Or that the rebels themselves have poison gas?



 And have committed numerous atrocities? Although of course, to channel Hillary Clinton, since a lot of them have been carried out against Syria's Christians (it is the Sunni insurgents who are exclusively responsible for the murder and ethnic cleansing of Christians in Syria) what difference does it make?

 But wait, there's more. The the shipment will violate another law, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which, in case you've forgotten, mandates anyone suspected of providing material support to al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces is subject to indefinite detention in military custody. The Washington Post reported  on September 11 that the The Obama Administration has been sending the insurgents shipments that are “limited to light weapons and other munitions that can be tracked.” However, according to  CBS News, the list of materiel being trafficked to Syrian jihadis is a lot more heavy duty:

The agency has also arranged for the Syrian opposition to receive anti-tank weaponry like rocket-propelled grenades through a third party, presumably one of the Gulf countries that has been arming the rebels, a senior U.S. intelligence official and two former intelligence officials said Thursday. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the classified program publicly.

 President Obama has approved shipments of weapons and money to the Syrian insurgents, one of whose main components is the al-Qaeda franchise al-Nusra. Does anyone seriously believe that arms and money we've given to the president's Muslim Brotherhood friends hasn't found it's way to al-Qaeda? Oddly enough, this same president, who wants to arm our bitter, sworn enemies the jihadis and is spending taxpayer dollars to do it is doing absolutely everything he can to disarm Americans and destroy their Second Amendment rights. Why? Any 'journalists' out there with the stones to ask him?

My friend and Council mate Terresa over at The Noisy Room has a great piece  out  that puts this further into perspective.

Huma Abedin Returns To HillaryLand

 

Huma Abedin  has returned to her position as Hillary Clinton's close personal aide and has pretty much written off  her husband now that Anthony Weiner's political career is over.

She was on an extended vacation from her position while Weiner was running for mayor of New York City, fundraising for and campaigning with Weiner, a real necessity given his, ummm, predilections and reputation. But that's all over now, and she's now back as the director of former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s transition office.

Abedin’s dual roles with her husband campaign and as an aide to Clinton were a bit problematic, especially after his second sexting scandal, when the Clintons were reportedly angered that Weiner's weinerschnizel and the connection via Huma could have a negative impact on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 White House bid.Apparently, all is now forgiven, at least when it comes to Huma. It appears she's jumped off Weiner's sinking ship and is back in Mrs. Clinton's entourage:

Weiner’s campaign initially said Abedin would be with him when he went to vote on election day Tuesday. Abedin was absent, which Weiner explained by saying she was “on a call.” Abedin also did not attend the Tuesday night party where he made a concession speech that did not thank her. According to the New York Post, Abedin spent election night Tuesday at a fundraiser for Clinton in Washington.

Heh!

Ah well, I can't say I blame her much. Weiner is toast, burnt to a crisp, and of no further use to the Muslim Brotherhood.

I think what we're looking at is the beginning of sort of a Bill n' Hill style marriage, without the political partnership. I wouldn't be surprised if the Clintons found Weiner a job somewhere that requires him to be absent from New York City a lot, thus necessitating a separate residence.

President Obama Sends Support Message To Radical Muslim Brotherhood Front Group

The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) is a Muslim Brotherhood front group with an interesting history.It was started by, among others, Sami al-Arian, Islamic Jihad's own man in America who was convicted of laundering money and lending material support to terrorist groups. Another prominent Brotherhood jihadist, Adurahman Alamoudi worked closely with ISNA for years. He’s currently in a federal prison for funding al Qaeda and Hamas.

ISNA was an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial. Like CAIR, they had been raising money for Hamas, some of which was used to murder American citizens. Many of their top executives were scheduled to be convicted and sent to prison in what would have been an open and shut second trial which might even have resulted in the groups being outlawed - until Eric Holder and the Obama Department of Justice filed 'decline To prosecute' motions on all of the players back in 2011.

Since then, like CAIR, ITNA, The Muslim Public Affairs Council(MPAC) and The North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), ISNA has been a real favorite of the president. One of the president's close advisers is Mohamed Magid, the president of ISNA, who works directly with White House officials and even sits on a Homeland Security group that deals with ‘extremism’.

Another important Obama adviser with extremely close ties to ISNA and CAIR is none other than Dalia Mogahed, President Obama's personal pick to be his adviser on the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, a group most Americans have never heard of both which has real access to the president's ear.Like Magid, she was also a significant contributor to the Homeland Security Advisory Council's Countering Violent Extremism Working Group.It was Mogahed who reportedly helped write President Obama's apologetic speech in Cairo.

Magid and ISNA also participated in a 2012 review of FBI counter-terrorism training documents that ended in the bureau agreeing to purge any training materials documents that ISNA and other Muslim Brotherhood groups found offensive or “Islamophobic.” In fact, they even lobbied, along with other Muslim Brotherhood fronts to get the FBI's role in investigating Islamist terrorism in America reduced significantly, if not entirely.

They did exactly the same thing to the Department of Homeland Security in May of this year, vetting the training materials of anything remotely concerning Islamists, the Brotherhood or "Islamophobia"..with the full support of the president and members of his administration charged with what passes for security.

Mogahed and Magid are by no means unique in terms of being people with extremely close ties to the Ikhwan serving in the Obama Administration.

Again, the question comes up. Why is President Obama so enamored of the Muslim Brotherhood? The message he sent ISNA singles them out as 'White House Partners', a unique honor for a group which was heavily involved in one of the largest money laundering and terrorism trials in U.S. history.

Why has this president consistently intervened on the behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood at home and abroad? What's the benefit to America of supporting and enabling fascists who use a crescent instead of a swastika? Why has no mainstream American journalist ever asked President Obama this question?

Syria - Obama's Next War

There has been a lot of commentary about a U.S intervention in Syria since a number of YouTube video have been posted by the rebels regarding a gas attack allegedly launched by Assad's forces that is supposed to have killed 500 people.

When seeing this stuff, its important to remember that both Muslim regimes and Islamist groups like al-Qaeda, the Palestinian Authority, Lashker e Tiaba, Hamas, Hezbollah, et al are very good at staging these sorts of things. al-Jazeera is based on this kind of propaganda.

The Arabs who refer to themselves as Palestinians are particularly noted for their use of propaganda, thus giving rise to the phrase ‘Pallywood’. Among many examples I could cite, during the so-called ‘Jenin Massacre’ ( heavily pushed by the BBC, which still has yet to apologize) a camera man actually caught a lot of the ‘corpses’ on their way to ‘mass graves’ jumping off stretchers and taking off. Maybe they thought someone yelled ‘cut’.

There was also ‘Green Hat Guy’, a Hezbollah operative who was caught carrying the same ‘corpse’ of a child at about a dozen sites during the 2006 war.

Assad’s people would also tell you that the Muslim Brotherhood and al-Qaeda rebels in al-Nusra have used gas on their forces. It is impossible to sort out the truth, especially from a bunch of YouTube videos.

And what if the gas attacks actually happened? If Syria's Christians weren't deemed worthy of a humanitarian intervention when al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood were ethnically cleansing them, why should America get involved now on behalf of the Islamists?

With the alleged gas attacks, there's a new push on to get the U.S to intervene, and I'm personally convinced this is no accident. Now that the Muslim Brotherhood has been crushed in Egypt, the president is planing to use U.S. blood and treasure to help the Islamists take over Syria.

I've already reported about the 1,800 U.S. Marines we have deployed on Jordan's border with Syria that came off the USS Kearsage. According to my sources, not only is President Obama considering sending these troops into battle, we also have advanced plans ready for a no fly zone to use American air power against Assad's forces to give the al-Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood rebels a haven where they can be supplied and launch attacks from.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey, who last surfaced calling for the U.S. to arm Hezbollah is in Jordan as I write this setting up a war room for CENTCOM's command staff. Over 3,000 Muslim Brotherhood rebels will occupy an enclave extending from the Jordanian border to front lines on the outskirts of Damascus, with Assad's forces kept at bay by drones, missiles and a squadron of U.S. F-16s I'm told is based in Jordan that nominally belong to Jordan but will be manned by U.S. pilots.

Our troops will be training and arming Muslim Brotherhood and al-Qaeda forces like the al-Nusrah Front. And openly this time, not via clandestine operations like the failed Benghazi arms smuggling that cost 4 Americans their lives.

What Obama is trying to do here is what he tried to do in Libya..put an Islamist regime in power. That certainly turned out well, didn't it? Proponents of a U.S. intervention might also want to remember how that worked out when we armed the muhajadeen in Afghanistan. The Reagan Administration at least had the excuse of the bigger cause of fighting the Soviet Empire, and the fact that no one could have foreseen how this would lead to al-Qaeda and the rise of Islamic fascism. Neither of those excuses exist today.

As a side benefit for the Obama Administration, the reports of gas attacks provide an excuse for a program dear to our president's heart...the importation of thousands of Syrian Muslim refugees into the U.S.

Syria is a front in the Islamic civil war between the Iranian mostly Shi’ite faction which includes the Brotherhood and the Sunni faction composed of the Saudis, the other GCE countries and now, apparently Egypt.

Which side we should back, the Brotherhood and al-Qaeda or Assad? And with what goal? Based on this president’s track record, do we really want him in charge of another illegal war?

And if the Brotherhood and al-Qaeda win, what happens to Assad's weaponry, his chemical weapons, his missiles? Since the Brotherhood is now allied with the Iranian bloc against the Saudis, its a sure bet that these weapons will either be used directly by the rebels against Israel or transferred to Hezbollah right next door. Hatred of Israel and Jews trumps everything, something that may not exactly concern the Obama Administration for reasons that ought to be obvious. Imagine a terrorist enclave on Israel's borders launching attacks on Northern Israel and protected by a U.S. no fly zone.

Not only that, but some of these weapons may very well be used to destabilize Jordan, where the Brotherhood is very strong, there's a significant tribal issue between the Bedouin ruling class and the 75% of Jordan's population that label themselves Palestinians and King Abdullah is holding on by his fingernails.

I fail to see how this benefits anyone but the Islamists. Certainly it doesn't benefit the U.S. or our ally Israel.

There are no good guys here, and a U.S. intervention has a good chance of making a horrible situation even worse.

It's time we stood up to this president's pro-Islamist agenda. Call your representatives in Congress NOW.

Obama's Muslim Brotherhood Brother Got Illegal Tax Exemption For Islamist Foundation

The Egyptian government is apparently opening up another can of worms when it come to President Obama's connection with the Muslim Brotherhood.

The former Chancellor of the Constitutional Court of Egypt and its current adviser, Tahani Al-Jebali openly stated that the reason President Obama favors the Muslim Brotherhood is because his half-brother Malik is a Brotherhood member who,in her words, "is one of the architects of the major investments of the international organization of the Muslim Brotherhood.”

“We will carry out the law and the Americans will not stop us. We need to open the files and begin court sessions. The Obama administration cannot stop us; they know that they supported terrorism. We will open the files so these nations are exposed, to show how they collaborated with them [the terrorists]. It is for this reason why the American administration fights us.” (h/t Walid Shoebat for the vids and translation)






She also appeared on Egyptian television to repeat these allegations and to characterize the upcoming trials as “a gift to the American people” .

Is there anything to this? Quite possibly, although I personally think there's a lot more to President Obama's support for Islamists and the Muslim Brotherhood than just aiding and abetting his half-brother Malik.

President Obama and his half-brother Malik are particularly close - Malik was reportedly Best Man at the Obama's wedding.

Malik Obama is a member of the Brotherhood and the Executive Secretary of the Islamic Da’wa Organization, or IDO, a group created by the government of Sudan. The organization's professed mission is to spread Islamist doctrine throughout Africa.

The group was created by the Sudan's leader Omar Al-Bashir, also a Brotherhood member who is wanted for seven counts of crimes against Humanity by the International Court of Justice for activities mainly relating to the genocide in Darfur. The Sudan is listed by the State Department as a material supporter of terrorism.

Al-Bashir and Malik Obama are also particularly close.

Here's where stuff gets interesting. Malik Obama, also known as Abongo or Roy operates two IRS-approved 501(c)3 organizations operated in the U.S. Both raise funds from U.S. individuals and corporations, and I wouldn't be surprised if such donations were regarded as 'insurance' by people seeking grace and favor from the Obama Administration.

One of them, the the Mama Sarah Obama Foundation, created on behalf of Obama’s step-grandmother in Kenya, was supposedly put together to build homes for widows, orphans and HIV/AIDS victims in Kenya.

The other, the Barack H. Obama Foundation is allegedly to provide 'development projects' also in Kenya.

Both 501(c)3 applications received amazing customer service, receiving their determination letters in a month as opposed to the normal 6 month time frame. Not only that, but since Malik's 'foundation' had been soliciting without a determination letter since 2008, he was granted retroactive tax exempt status by none other than our old friend Lois Lerner. Her signature is at the bottom of Malik Obama’s tax-exempt approval letter and she illegally granted Malik’s foundation retroactive tax exempt status for 38 months, even though the law prohibits going back any further than 27 months.

 

Now the big question is, what were these funds actually used for? Apparently the only thing money from the foundations were found to be used for was to build was a single compound known as The Barack H. Obama Recreation and Rest Center', containing a mosque, a madrassah and housing for Malik and his twelve wives. Sounds a lot like Charlie Rangel, doesn't it? No one knows where the rest of the money seems to have gone or where the current donations are going.

Now Malik's scam seems to be small time - in 2010 he reported $24,250 total gross income derived from contributions, gifts and grants, a small amount here but a huge amount in Africa and the Middle East. Whatever the amount, we have no way of knowing if that's a correct accounting. After all, Malik is not a U.S. citizen, he has nothing the IRS can attach here in America if he was committing tax fraud and no action the IRS can really take except shutting down his Arlington, Virginia mail drops.

Were these foundations used to launder money by the Brotherhood? Did some of it go to IDO?
Is Malik simply a small-time crook trading on his brother's name and protection, or is he a conduit for something bigger?

The Arab media is writing quite a bit about this, but they are notoriously prone to conspiracy theories. Next, they could be saying that Malik is a Mossad agent.

But the connections are definitely interesting, and at the least it looks like the IRS aided, expedited and abetted a tax scam for the president's half-brother..perhaps because they were explicitly told to.

That much, we know for certain.
