DHS Denies Muslim Terrorists Crossing US Mexican Border – Local Reporter Finds Evidence to the Contrary


http://freedomoutpost.com/2014/02/dhs-denies-muslim-terrorists-crossing-us-mexican-border-local-reporter-finds-evidence-contrary/#BrTERJhgI2gJSh8Y.99

A local news station found Border Patrol documents that indicated that thousands of OTMs — “Other Than Mexicans” — have been caught crossing the Mexican border into the U.S., including some known terrorists.

I wrote an article for The Washington Times about this back in 2010. I warned of the influx of OTMs (Other Than Mexicans) over the Mexican border.

With fresh evidence of Hezbollah activity just south of the border, and numerous reports of Muslims from various countries posing as Mexicans and crossing into the United States from Mexico, our porous southern border is a national security nightmare waiting to happen.

Whenever Arizona law enforcement officials contact Homeland Security about a suspected OTM (Other Than Mexican) they have detained, federal authorities swoop down, cart off the illegal entrant, and tell local officials nothing more about the case. OTMs have utilized sophisticated human smuggling networks to enter the United States from as many as 157 countries around the world – including Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Morocco and Egypt.

All this is happening against the backdrop of President Obama’s refusal to admit that the global jihad even exists. John Brennan, Obama’s CIA Director, even denies that jihad is a motive for jihadists.

Unpoliced borders. Friendships with and outreach to tyrants and autocrats.

What needs to happen people for appropriate action to be taken? Here’s the latest:

“After DHS Denial, Local Reporter Finds Evidence Terrorists Crossed the Border,” Top Right News, February 23, 2014

As we reported last week, a local news station found Border Patrol documents that indicated that thousands  of OTMs — “Other Than Mexicans” — have been caught crossing the Mexican border into the U.S., including some known terrorists.

But since that report, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has DENIED that there is any “credible evidence” that any terrorists have crossed over.

So the reporter took another look — and the evidence he found is even worse than originally revealed.

He found that 300 terrorists from the Somali Al Qaeda group Al-Shabaab — the group behind the terror attack at the Kenyan shopping mall last September – have entered the U.S. and are unaccounted for.

Martyrdom of Christians Doubles in 2013


http://eaglerising.com/4030/martyrdom-christians-doubles-2013/#Zdxgl0BTvtzOIrjM.99

By / 9 January 2014

I hate our foreign policy. I try not to get too agitated about it on the pages of Eagle Rising because I know there is a lot of disagreement within our “family’s” foreign policy beliefs. But having to report that 2013 was a horrible year worldwide for our Christian brothers and sisters has me angry.

Our President pours millions, no billions, of dollars into fascist Islamist regime nations like Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen… all the while, they are subjugating and persecuting our brothers and sisters.

In 2013 we documented that at least Two Thousand One Hundred and Twenty Three Christians were killed for their faith. 2,123 of our brothers and sisters martyred for believing as we do. And this number is low, because these are only the martyrdoms that we can confirm.

“This is a very minimal count based on what has been reported in the media and we can confirm,” said Frans Veerman, head of research for Open Doors. Estimates by other Christian groups put the annual figure as high as 8,000.

What has our government done about it?

Nothing.

  • Nine of the 10 countries listed as dangerous for Christians are Muslim-majority states, many of them torn by conflicts with radical Islamists. Saudi Arabia is an exception but ranked sixth because of its total ban on practicing faiths other than Islam.
  • In the list of killings, Syria was followed by Nigeria with 612 cases last year after 791 in 2012. Pakistan was third with 88, up from 15 in 2012. Egypt ranked fourth with 83 deaths after 19 the previous year.
  • The report spoke of “horrific violence often directed at Christians” in the Central African Republic but said only nine deaths were confirmed last year because “most analysts still fail to recognize the religious dimension of the conflict.”
  • The report had no figures for killings in North Korea but said Christians there faced “the highest imaginable pressure” and some 50,000 to 70,000 lived in political prison camps.
  • Look at some of those names. Saudi Arabia, Paikistan, and Egypt. Three of our “allies” that depend on the millions of dollars we give them or the trade we complete with them. Each of them is in the top six of nations in the world that persecute Christians.
  • Persecuted11Do we demand that they set their Christians free from imprisonment? Do we demand that they cease persecution of their Christian minorities? Do we demand that they give free and fair treatment to their Christian citizens? Do we even ask for any of these things? No. We make speeches where we attempt to shame them into fairness, but they know that we will never back up our speeches with actions and so their Christian minorities continue to suffer.
  • If we but threatened to pull funding or political support or international trade agreements, some of these villains would change their tunes.
  • In Iran, Pastor Saeed Abedini has been imprisoned for over a year for his crime of being a Christian. Recently his wife learned that the American government had been at work in Iran, but not in getting her American husband released.

“Initially, when I went to the U.S. government, they said we don’t have a direct relationship with Iran,” Naghmeh Abdeini said, moments after telling a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee her husband’s health is failing in prison. “Here we were sitting across table from Iran. It was our best leverage. It should have been a precondition.”

Needless to say, she felt betrayed.

In North Korea, an American Christian was taken prisoner for “crimes against the state”,” though the North Koreans will not enlighten us to those crimes.

U.S. officials have repeatedly called on North Korea to release Bae. In August, the two countries appeared close, but North Korea rescinded an invitation to a U.S. envoy. Ambassador Robert King, President Barack Obama’s special envoy for North Korean human rights issues, had been expected to fly to Pyongyang to try to win Bae’s freedom.

 Words. Nothing more.

I guess I just didn’t realize that the most powerful nation in the world was in the practice of allowing its citizens to be kidnapped and held imprisoned by their enemies.

We must demand that our government be more proactive in demanding the protection and liberties of Christians around the planet.

Obama gives 9/11-perps safe haven in Fallujah, Iraq


 

http://joeforamerica.com/2014/01/obama-gives-911-perps-save-haven-fallujah-iraq/#Vz8WhHRgZz3Qehe6.99

Posted  by on Jan 6, 2014

The United States didn’t invade and temporarily occupy two Islamist terror-nation-states after 9/11 on a maneuvers-locale-whim or for some sort of Maureen Dowd-defined Bush-family revenge-motive. It is true that agents of Saddam Hussein came perilously close to assassinating former President Bush41, but President Bush43 was content to continue the game of Hans-Blix-cat-and-WMD-mouse with no-fly-zone missile dodge-ball games on the side, before non-Iraqi-based terrorists hijacked three planes and killed 3000 Americans in the Lower Forty-Eight.

For decades before 9/11, terrorists sponsored by Iran, in safe havens in Taliban-Afghanistan, and trained inIraq, attacked and killed Americans overseas. Saddam Hussein conquered Kuwait and threatened to take over effective control of middle class-enabling oil supplies. Americans died to remove Iraq from Kuwait, then watched him use chemical WMD to attack his Kurdish opposition, defy the ceasefire agreement to account for WMD and fire at our no-fly-zone-enforcing planes. After 9/11 Hussein openly sponsored and appeared with the families of suicide bombers on Iraqi TV.

Before, and especially after 9/11, the United States was justified in removing his regime. We did so after 9/11 and after a surge that galvanized Iraqis against al Qaeda in Anbar Province, we removed the last safe haven of the perpetrators of 9/11 at the time.

President B. Hussein Obama unilaterally surrendered those gains, even by refusing to negotiate a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) that would have served as  deterrent to the formation of future safe havens like the one from which 9/11 was launched in Afghanistan.

Today, America is less safe from future 9/11s as al Qaeda has re-taken portions of Anbar, including Fallujah:

Faluga

This former neo-con does not favor long occupations of Islamist countries. But neither do we favor abandoning allies and strategic locations that empower enemies that have proven they can attack the homeland.

Our Commander-in-Chief is an appeaser that invites aggression against the United States.

McCain, Graham blast Obama for Al Qaeda-related takeover of Fallujah, call situation ‘predictable’


http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/01/04/mccain-graham-blame-obama-for-al-qaeda-related-takeover-fallujah-call-situation/

Published January 04, 2014

Republican senators on Saturday blamed the Obama administration for Al Qaeda affiliates over-running parts of Iraq, including the city of Fallujah, which the United States secured before President Obama removed all U.S. forces from that country in 2011.

Sen. John McCain, Arizona, and Lindsey Graham, South Carolina, called the recent turn of events “as tragic as they were predictable” and suggested Obama misled Americans into believing that Iraqi leaders wanted U.S. forces out of their country.

“While many Iraqis are responsible for this strategic disaster, the administration cannot escape its share of the blame,” the senators said in a joint statement. “When President Obama withdrew all U.S. forces … over the objections of our military leaders and commanders on the ground, many of us predicted that the vacuum would be filled by America’s enemies and would emerge as a threat to U.S. national security interests. Sadly, that reality is now clearer than ever.”

The Al Qaeda-affiliated fighters took over Fallujah on Friday after a bloody three-day battle, raising their flag over government buildings as a sign of victory, according to The Washington Post.

At least eight people were killed and dozens injured Friday night as the Iraqi army tries to regain control of the city. The army, which lobbed mortar bombs in its response, has been joined in the fray by tribesmen from Ramadi, a Sunni stronghold.

U.S. forces secured Fallujah in 2004 after one of the deadliest battles of the Iraq war. Fallujah became notorious among Americans when insurgents in 2004 killed four American security contractors and hung their burned bodies from a bridge.

After the recent takeover by Al Qaeda-tied fighters, the Obama administration on Saturday called the attacks barbaric and said it is working with the Iraqi government and the tribal leaders.

“We are … concerned by efforts of the terrorist Al Qaeda/Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant to assert its authority in Syria as well as Iraq,” said State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf. “Their barbarism against civilians of Ramadi and Fallujah and against Iraqi Security Forces is on display for all to see.”

Major Sunni tribes turned against Al Qaeda before the American withdrawal at the end of 2011. But they do not support the Shiite-led government in Iraq, creating an odd alliance in the battle against militants.

“The administration’s narrative that Iraq’s political leadership objected to U.S. forces remaining in Iraq after 2011 is patently false,” said McCain and Graham, military hawks with an active interest in Middle East affairs. “We know firsthand that Iraq’s main political blocs were supportive and that the administration rejected sound military advice and squandered the opportunity to conclude a security agreement with Iraq.”

On Friday, the Al Qaeda affiliates tried to win over the population in Fallujah with a militant commander appearing among worshippers holding Friday prayers in the main city street, proclaiming that his fighters were there to defend Sunnis from the government, a resident said.

There have been no reports on the total number of people injured or killed in the fighting that started earlier this week.

The overrunning of Fallujah and Ramadi, another Sunni stronghold, by Al Qaeda’s Iraqi branch in the Sunni heartland of western Anbar provinces is a blow to the Shiite-led government of Prime Minister al-Maliki. His government has been struggling to contain discontent among the Sunni minority over Shiite political domination that has flared into increased violence for the past year.

Anbar province, a desert area on the borders with Syria and Jordan, has almost an entirely Sunni population. The area served as the heartland of the Sunni insurgency that rose up against American troops and the Iraqi government after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein. Authorities earlier this week arrested a senior Sunni politician and dismantled a months-old sit-in in Ramadi sparking anger among Sunnis.

In an effort to ease tensions, al-Maliki pulled the military out of Anbar cities to transfer security duties to local police, a top demand of Sunnis who see the army as a tool of al-Maliki’s rule. Al Qaeda militants then erupted in Fallujah and Ramadi overrunning police station, driving out security forces and freeing prisoners.

“Thousands of brave Americans who fought, shed their blood, and lost their friends to bring peace to Fallujah and Iraq are now left to wonder whether these sacrifices were in vain,” said McCain and Graham, who argued the administration’s failure in Iraq has been compounded by its failed policy in Syria.

That country is involved in a years-long civil war in which tens of thousands have been killed or driven from their homeland, which the senators say has resulted in a regional conflict that now threatens U.S. national security interests.

The senators also called on Obama to learn from the Iraq experience and promptly decide on the troop levels needed to secure U.S. national security interests in Afghanistan and to keep out Al Qaeda and its terrorist allies.

The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

Iraq is still bleeding 10 years after Saddam Hussein’s capture

Friday’s anniversary of the dictator’s arrest sees the country struggling with   a resurgent al-Qaeda and a death rate double that of a decade ago

6:00PM GMT 12 Dec 2013

Ten years after the capture of Saddam Hussein, Iraq is at risk of becoming a   failed state again as al-Qaeda reclaims vast swathes of the country.

Friday’s anniversary of the Iraqi   dictator’s arrest sees the country still struggling with his   legacy, with al-Qaeda launching a fresh campaign of terrorist atrocities   from new territory carved out in western and northern Iraq.

Backed by jihadists fighting the civil war in neighbouring Syria, the group is   trying to create an “emirate” straddling the two countries, taking advantage   of the collapse in security across the border.

Bridges linking four key border towns on the Iraqi side have been dynamited,   making it difficult for security forces to operate in the area.

Road signs have even been put up proclaiming it to be the turf of the Islamic   State of Iraq and the Levant, the name for the joint Syrian-Iraqi al-Qaeda   franchise.

Using their new safe haven as an operating base, al-Qaeda has mounted repeated   strikes across the country, with an average of 68 car bombs a month this   year.

After a period between 2009 and 2011 in which violence was on the wane,   al-Qaeda’s resurgence in the past year has led to a fresh sense of despair   on the streets of Baghdad, where many young Iraqis think now only of leaving   the country.

“It is not as bad as during the civil war, but whenever you leave your house,   you can’t be sure that you will be coming back,” said Shadi Karaqzi, 23, an   accountancy student smoking a shisha pipe in a central Baghdad cafe, itself   the target of a devastating car bomb attack in 2007. “We are living in   terror.”

“The wish of most young men now is just to live abroad so that they can have a   normal life,” added his friend Ghaith Hamed, 22.

In recent months, al-Qaeda’s so-called “reload rate” – the time between one   series of mass attacks and another – has dropped to as little as a week,   down from four to six weeks.

The death toll for 2013 has already topped 7,000, with the United Nations   saying that 979 died in October alone, the latest month for which figures   are available.

That is roughly twice the Iraqi death rate when US forces plucked Saddam from   his “spider hole” in Tikrit in December 2003, an arrest hailed at the time   as spelling the end of Iraq’s insurgency problems.

The brunt of al-Qaeda’s new onslaught is borne by Iraq’s majority Shia Muslim   community, who are classed as apostates in the terror group’s extremist   Sunni Muslim vision.

So far, senior Shia clerics have forbidden retaliation. But in interviews with   The Telegraph, both Iraqi politicians and foreign diplomats have expressed   fears that the sheer scale of the current onslaught is putting a strain on   Shias’ willingness to turn to the other cheek.

They fear a return to the sectarian warfare of 2006-2007, when up to 3,000   people a month were killed in tit-for-tat violence waged   by Sunni and Shia death squads.

Only last month, police found the bodies of 19 people – including a family of   five – shot dead and dumped in two districts of Baghdad, one mainly Sunni,   the other Shia.

Shi’ite women mourn during the funeral of the victim of a bomb attack in   Baghdad last month (Reuters)“Al-Qaeda is trying to return the country to the civil war era by killing   Shias,” said Sami al-Askary, an Iraqi MP and adviser to Nouri al-Maliki, the   prime minister. “So far they have not succeeded, but nobody knows how long   for. When the rage comes, you cannot expect how people will react.”

The current wave of violence has its roots in Iraq’s own belated version of   the Arab Spring a year ago, when the country’s Sunni minority – who enjoyed   privileged status under Saddam – began their   own mass demonstrations.

They complained of being treated as second class citizens by Iraq’s new   Shia-dominated government, alleging that they were subject to mass arrests   by the security forces and barred from government jobs because of pasts in   Saddam’s Baath party.

While foreign diplomats say their claims were not without foundation, they got   little sympathy from Mr Maliki’s government, whose followers point out that   Sunnis treated Shias in exactly the same way when they were in power.

Mr Maliki also feared that al-Qaeda would infiltrate the movement, a prophecy   that his security forces then helped fulfil when they violently broke up a   Sunni protest in the northern town of Hawija last April.

While the troops claimed they were fired on first, the deaths of some 40   Sunnis in the military’s heavy-handed response proved a major new recruiting   sergeant for al-Qaeda.

The group then scored a second major coup in July, when it staged a   mass jailbreak at Baghdad’s Abu Ghraib prison, freeing several   hundred hardcore followers held on terrorism charges.

The break-in at what was supposed to be the country’s most impregnable jail   underlined both al-Qaeda’s operational sophistication and the Iraqi security   forces’ continued incompetence.

Some 933,000 people are now enlisted in various military and paramilitary   police units. Yet despite having ballooned to the same size as it was in   Saddam’s time, much of the million-man army remains poorly equipped,   badly-trained and indisciplined.

Often they lack the equipment, logistics and training to dominate the ground   in hostile areas, and since the US troop withdrawal, there has been little   in the way of intelligence sharing.

Al-Qaeda’s current hold on Iraq is still weaker than it was at its peak of   2004-2007, when it controlled entire cities such as Ramadi and Fallujah.

With elections due next April, Mr Maliki’s government is now making a   concerted push against al-Qaeda on several fronts. At a meeting in   Washington last month, he is believed to have reinstated intelligence   sharing agreements, which withered amid the increasing acrimony between the   two governments ahead of the US pull-out in 2011.

The Iraqi government is also awaiting consignments of Russian helicopter   gunships, the only way in which they can currently mount surprise attacks on   al-Qaeda hideouts in remote desert areas.

The Telegraph understands that a plan is also under way to adopt a more   “hearts and minds” security strategy, moving away from the mass arrests that   have helped alienate Iraq’s Sunnis.

“Ahead of the elections, I understand that we will be moving to a new, more   refined, intelligence-led approach,” said Mouffak al-Rubaie, Iraq’s former   national security adviser, who still maintains close links with Mr Maliki.   “Hopefully, the time for mass arrests is over.

Arab Spring: Worst soap ever


Arab Spring: Worst soap ever

I didn’t care for the “Arab Spring,” but the “Arab Summer” is a blockbuster!

Liberals’ rosy predictions for Egypt’s Islamic revolution didn’t turn out as planned. Who could have guessed that howling mobs in Tahrir Square in 2011 would fail to produce a peaceful democracy?

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak had supported U.S. policy, used his military to fight Muslim extremists and recognized Israel’s right to exist. So naturally, Obama told him he had to go.

Let’s review what liberals said at the time about that glorious people’s revolution — only from The New York Times:

– “(Egyptian) Officials blamed the Muslim Brotherhood (for the protests). … Even if the Brotherhood had a role — the group denies it; the truth seems more complex — it is easy to understand why Egyptians are fed up.” (Editorial: “Mr. Mubarak Is Put on Notice,” Jan. 26, 2011)

– “The mistake, which still emanates from think tanks stocked with neoconservatives, is assuming that democracy can come at the end of sword. … Now that some of the dominoes appear to be falling, this has more to do with Facebook and the frustrations of young, educated adults who can’t earn enough money to marry than it does with tanks rolling into Baghdad, or naive neocons guiding the State Department.” (Timothy Egan, “Bonfire of American Vanities,” Feb. 3, 2011)

– “It’s time to be clear: Mubarak’s time is up.” (Roger Cohen, “Hosni Mubarak Agonistes,” Feb. 4, 2011)

– “What is unfolding in Arab streets is not an assertion of religious reaction but a yearning for democracy with all its burdens and rewards.” (Ray Takeyh, “What Democracy Could Bring,” Feb. 4, 2011)

Oops! Within less than a year, we found out that the truth wasn’t “complex”: The Muslim Brotherhood was behind the revolution. They rigged an election and were planning to implement Sharia law — until the Egyptian military stepped in on behalf of the people this year and removed the Brotherhood’s Mohammed Morsi as president.

In Arab countries, at least, it seems that democracy can come only “at the end of a sword.”

Also in 2011, Obama ordered air strikes in Libya against Moammar Gadhafi — at the precise moment Gadhafi was no longer a threat to anyone. After Bush invaded Iraq, Gadhafi promptly gave up his nuclear program and invited U.N. weapons inspectors in to prove it. Apparently, he wasn’t interested in becoming the next Saddam Hussein.

Obama’s bombing of Gadhafi was also enthusiastically supported at the Times. Gadhafi, you see, had killed hundreds of his own people. Meanwhile, President Bashar Hafez al-Assad of Syria can preside over the slaughter of more than 100,000 of his people since that time without a cross word from the left.

Libyan people proceeded to stalk and kill Gadhafi in the desert (video on YouTube). A year later, the happy people of Libya murdered our ambassador and three other Embassy staff. But as Hillary said, “What difference, at this point, does it make?”

After all their carping about the Iraq War, you’d think liberals would have waited a few years before getting sentimental about democracy in Egypt and Libya. At least democracy is working in Iraq, despite Obama’s attempt to wreck it by withdrawing all U.S. troops. (We still have troops in Germany — but not in Bush’s Iraq.) Still, our ambassador wasn’t assassinated in Baghdad.

Speaking of which, what is the geopolitical strategy behind Obama’s sending more troops to Afghanistan? The 9/11 attack was not committed by Afghanistan. That country has no history of exporting terrorism. Afghans have traditionally been the invaded, not the invaders. They’re too busy herding goats.

The 9/11 attack was planned by foreigners who had decamped to Afghanistan. Although the Taliban was eager for al-Qaida’s help in fighting the Northern Alliance, it had no interest in attacking America. Mullah Omar dissented from Osama bin Laden on that brilliant idea.

It was one thing to go in and wipe out the Taliban after 9/11 in retaliation for their allowing bin Laden to set up shop there, but what was the point after that? Three months into President Bush’s war in Afghanistan, we had accomplished all we were ever going to accomplish in that godforsaken area of the world.

To quote one of liberals’ favorite arguments against the Iraq War: What does victory in Afghanistan look like?

The one place Obama should have intervened was Iran. The moderate, pro-Western, educated Iranian people were being shot in the street in 2010 for protesting an election stolen by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a messianic lunatic in a Members Only jacket. There was a clear alternative in that case that didn’t involve the Muslim Brotherhood, to wit: the actual winner of the election.

But Obama turned his back on the Iranians. Democrats are so opposed to promoting the United States’ interests around the globe, it doesn’t occur to them that, sometimes, our national interests might coincide with the interests of other people.

Liberals made fun of Sarah Palin for not being able to define “the Bush doctrine.” Can Obama tell us what “the Obama doctrine” is? Leap in only to make the rest of the world a more dangerous place? At least Egyptians are safe now, thanks to their military and no thanks to Obama.

Iraq Weapons of Mass Destruction Shipped to Syria, Before Our Invasion, Used By Syrian Government Against It’s Own People


Guess where Syria’s chemical weapons originate

chlorine-596x283

Retired U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely says he has confirmation that Syrian forces have used chemical weapons against rebel forces and civilians, and those weapons are likely stockpiles received from Iraq prior to the U.S.-led invasion 10 years ago.

Vallely has met twice in the region with military commanders for the Free Syrian Army, which he describes as the largest and much more moderate faction among the rebels, which also include elements of al-Qaida and the Muslim Brotherhood. He also gets regular reports from a Canadian medical team. Vallely told WND that team is certain that a chlorine gas weapon was used in recent strikes.

“From what I received from the Canadian medical team who works out of Aleppo is that is was chlorine and that what you saw were the reactions on those videos that were put out within the last week,” Vallely said. “The chlorine, the choking, the skin, depending on the density of the chlorine will cause skin irritation. If it’s mixed with other types of gases too, then it could have an even more enhanced effect on the human body, not only breathing but on the skin.”

Vallely believes the chemical weapons are clearly the work of the Assad regime and that the regime will try to pin the blame on the rebels. He said this is not the first time that the beleaguered government has turned WMD on its own people and that he has evidence of a similar attack last summer.
