Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained documents from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regarding President Obama's "Diversity Czar" Mark Lloyd's official mission and responsibilities.

According to the documents, provided in response to a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, Lloyd's mission is "to open up opportunities for all Americans, in particular women, minorities, small business owners, to participate in and benefit from a robust communications marketplace."

Among Lloyd's duties and responsibilities: "To work with the Consumer Bureau (and other bureaus as appropriate) to collect relevant data and assess the interaction between communications service providers and consumers in minority communities..." and "to consult with other federal agencies to determine best practices for advancing the goal of greater inclusion and diversity in government programs."

Judicial Watch also requested information pertaining to Chief Diversity Officer Lloyd's office staffing and budget for operation and administration. However, according to FCC Associate General Counsel Joel Kaufman, "We could locate no records responsive to...parts of your request. While Mr. Lloyd shares support staff with others in OGC (Office of General Counsel), no one was hired or assigned specifically to support him in his work. His position is funded out of the agency's fiscal year budget...but he has no separate budget for operation and administration."

In May 2009, Judicial Watch uncovered documents that demonstrate the FCC plans to use the professed goal of "diversity" to regulate free speech in the media. For example, in December 2007, the FCC proposed new "localism" measures to force broadcast stations to offer programming more "responsive to the needs and interests of the communities that they are licensed to serve." Some legal analysts have said such "localism" policies represent a back-door into the controversial Fairness Doctrine, which the Obama administration claims to oppose.

Lloyd, meanwhile, has been criticized heavily for making a number of controversial statements on race. For example, during a conference in 2005, Lloyd said, "There's nothing more difficult than this. Because we have really, truly good white people in important positions. And the fact of the matter is that there are a limited number of those positions. And unless we are conscious of the need to have more people of color, gays, other people in those positions we will not change the problem. We're in a position where you have to say who is going to step down so someone else can have power." During a 2008 National Conference for Media Reform, Lloyd also said Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez's rise to power was "really an incredible revolution - a democratic revolution."

Judicial Watch's FOIA request regarding Mark Lloyd is part of the organization's comprehensive investigation of all Obama administration czars. Judicial Watch has filed a FOIA request with the Office of Management and Budget as well as requests with each separate "czar" office. Article II section 2 of the Constitution, states that, "...[the President] shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the Supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law."

Unlike the heads of other executive departments (such as the Secretaries of Energy, Transportation, etc.), most of Obama's "czars" have not been confirmed by the U.S. Senate or have had their positions authorized by Congress. Some of these appointees might not have even been subjected to a basic FBI background check. Importantly, some of "czars" work for the president in the White House -- these individuals could claim "executive privilege" if ever subpoenaed to testify before Congress. And they may not be subject to transparency laws.

"Obama seems to have a 'czar' for everything and too many wield power with zero congressional and public accountability. And considering the radical views of 'czars' like Mark Lloyd, the more information the American people can get on them the better. Do we really want a race-baiting promoter of Hugo Chavez presiding over questionable diversity programs at the FCC?" said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

---------------------------------------------

Even if his father was not an active practitioner, Obama's Islamic inheritance and his public endorsement of Islam make him a useful Muslim. He can proclaim to be a Christian, and even attend a church, and still be considered a good Muslim if it enables and advances Islam.

President Obama's insistence that America is not in a war with Islam puts us in enormous peril because Islam has declared war on the West. Knowingly or unknowingly; willingly, or not willingly, Obama's position and policies are helpful to the Islamic totalitarian agenda to conquer the West, and render him useful for its advancement to the extent that his naïveté, ignorance, admission, or arrogance will allow.

During the 2008 Presidential Campaign, Obama could not risk the political fallout of being branded a Muslim, so Candidate Obama never used his middle name "Hussein." Furthermore, it utterance was frowned upon as lest it be an insinuation that he was an Islamic Manchurian candidate. After the election, he tried out his full name in Strasburg and uses it henceforth as if it is normal to the sensibilities of Americans in the wake of 9/11.

Prior to the 2008 Presidential campaign, Obama attended a radical Christian church led by Pastor Jeremiah Wright. However, since becoming President, Obama has demonstrated more passion for Islam than for Christianity. His middle name "Baraq" is reported to be the name of the mythological winged horse that Mohammed claimed carried him to paradise one night in a dream (while was sleeping in Medina).[1]  "Hussein" was the name of the grandson of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad. Hussein's caliphate succession created a rivalry within Islam, marking the early beginnings of Sunni-Shiite differences. [2]

On his inauguration as President, Barrack Hussein Obama received a letter from the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) Secretary General, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, congratulating him for his new office, and calling for Obama to recognize the need to forge a new partnership between the U.S. and the Muslim world. Ihsanoglu wrote in the letter: 

"...commitment of the OIC to cooperate in order to promote a constructive dialogue and fruitful joint action in a bid to work out appropriate solutions to the intractable crises that face the Muslim world and the world at large." [3]

 Obama promptly sent an unpublicized reply to Ihasanoglu thanking him for the congratulations wishes. Ihasanoglu is the major backer of the United Nations Defamation of Religions resolution that will end freedom of speech and freedom of conscience by criminalizing opposition to, and skepticism of Islam. The Jeddah-based OIC is made up of 57 Muslim-majority nations heavily influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood agenda, values. The Muslim Brotherhood has the self-described mission of "destroying Western civilization from within."

Ihasanoglu's reply, published in major U.S. newspapers on January 21, 2008, said the OIC urged Obama to work for "shared" peace rather "imposed" peace: 

"We warmly welcome your expressed desire to give a major address in a Muslim nation soon after you assume the presidency and hope it will mark the beginning of a more fruitful and better-informed dialogue between the West and the Muslim world,"

 "We firmly believe that America, with your guidance, can help foster that peace, though real peace can only be shared - never imposed. A nation can either be great or feared, but rarely both at the same time."  [4]

 Soon afterward, Obama showed further allegiance to Islamic causes in an interview with Al Arabia television.

Obama went further to appease Islamists by withdrawing all charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole and the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center bombing, halt all military trials of the detainees, bar waterboarding, and close all overseas CIA interrogation centers, further allowing an investigation into the CIA.  He has not sent extra troops to Afghanistan as requested by General McChrystal, and he is vowing to close Guantanamo Bay. All this even though a group of five al-Qaeda terrorists at Guantanamo, including one of the attack's masterminds, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, described their charges in a document filed March 10, 2009 titled "The Islamic Response," as:

  "badges of honor, which we carry with pride," further resolving that "killing you and fighting you, destroying you and terrorizing you...are all considered to be great legitimate duty in our religion." Obama will also abandon the term "enemy combatant" regarding Guantanamo Bay prisoners, even though the group of five further declared they were "terrorists to the bone."[5]

 Attorney General Eric Holder announced on Friday, November 13, 2009 that the five Guantanamo Bay detainees will be transferred to New York to go on trial in civilian court.[6] The concern is that in a civilian court, they will gain access to American interrogation methods and have a jury of "peers." This holds a "fair trial" and "justice" hostage to interpretation, and in the worse scenario, could ostensibly find them not guilty and release them free of charges because waterboarding was used to obtain evidence, which Obama previously denounced as "torture."

Just prior to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, President Obama signed a Presidential Determination on January 27, 2009 which appeared in the Federal Register on February 4, 2009. The Determination allows for hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refuges to "migrate" at American taxpayer expense. Pursuant to the Migration Refugee Assistance Act of 1962, the Determination allowed for $20.3 million in migration assistance to the Palestinian refugees and conflict victims in Gaza, giving aid to Palestinians with ties to Hamas. According to the Register, President Obama's decision was necessary due to the "victims...urgent needs. It is worded: 

 "...it is important to the national interest to furnish assistance under the Act in an amount not to exceed $20.3 million from the United States Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund for the purpose of meeting unexpected and urgent refugee and migration needs, including by contributions to international, governmental, and nongovernmental organizations and payment of administrative expenses of the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration of the Department of State, related to humanitarian needs of Palestinian refugees and conflict victims in Gaza." [7]

 In Cairo, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton announced in an American Initiative to spend more money in the effort to rebuild Gaza, further giving a UN agency authority to administer the funds.  Clinton promised an additional $600 million to cover the Palestinian Authority's budget deficit in the West Bank and $300 million in reconstruction aid to Gaza. [8] Then in early June 2009, The United States agreed to provide another $55 million in funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). That pledge brought 2009 funds given to the UNRWA to $154.5 million.[9]

In confusing statements, Obama has acknowledged the importance of recognizing that there is "a battle or a war" against some terrorist organizations which are not representative of the broader Arab Muslim community."[10]

Choosing his words carefully in an attempt to win over 'moderate' Muslims, Obama answered CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" in a television interview why he has not used the phrase, "war on terror," Obama answered:

 "Words matter in this situation because one of the ways we're going to win this struggle is through the battle of hearts and minds."

 In his inaugural address, Obama invited the Muslim world to embark on "a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect." As president, his first call to a head of state was to none other than Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah party in the Palestinian territory. Using an apologetic tone indicating Americans are disrespectful, Obama did not address the fact that the United States and Europe have been the targets of jihadist fanatics for centuries:

 "My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy," Obama said, although "we sometimes make mistakes" and "have not been perfect," and even though "too often the United States starts by dictating" and fails to use "the language of respect."

 According to an article by Zudhi Jasser in Family Security Matters, Muslims in the U.S. are likely to view Obama's administration as a friendly one. Jasser revealed that the group, The Congressional Muslim Staffers Association (CMSA), is trying to establish themselves in Obama's Administration with prominent and influential positions in the White House, the House, and the Senate. Jasser wrote that the CMSA hosted an inaugural gala for the new President with an invitation list of Islamists in the United States that share the ideologies of political Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood.[11]

Multiple lawsuits filed during the 2008 Presidential Campaign challenged Obama's presidential qualifications. Many believe he is not qualified to be President because he will not produce a physical copy of the birth certificate. Skeptics claim there is ample evidence that Obama was born in Kenya rather than Hawaii as the candidate maintains, believing a birth certificate posted on Obama's campaign website was inauthentic.

A woman who would have known the circumstances of Obama's controversial birth certificate was his own grandmother. Twelve days before the election, Obama went to Hawaii reportedly to visit her. Early in the campaign Obama, admitted that his grandmother, named Madelyn Dunham, was a "typical white person," who was sometimes afraid of some black men." That is about all that the American public knew about Madelyn Dunham until Obama visited her days before the election, in Hawaii. Speculations were that Obama's real intention was to go to Hawaii to be sure his birth certificate did not become public, rather than to visit his grandmother. From the time of the visit until today, the birth certificate remains an enigma because within two weeks of the visit, Madelyn Dunham was deceased. In an ABC's Good Morning America interview prior to Madelyn's death, Obama said:

 "Without going through the details too much, she's gravely ill. We weren't sure and I'm still not sure whether she makes it to Election Day." [12]

 Prior to the Hawaii trip; the media reported that Madelyn Dunham's health had deteriorated after recently breaking a hip, adding that it was uncertain how long she would live. Obama announced the death of his maternal Grandmother on the day before he was elected U.S. President, just eleven days after his trip to Hawaii. In a joint statement with his younger half-sister who was in Hawaii at the time, Obama told the press from North Carolina that his grandmother had died peacefully after a battle with cancer. A CNN report quoted Obama's statement at a rally in Charlotte:

 "She has gone home and she died peacefully in her sleep with my sister at her side... I'm not going to talk about it long because it's hard to talk about."

 After he won the election, Barrack Hussein spoke kindly of his grandmother at his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention:

 "She's the one who put off buying a new car or a new dress for herself so that I could have a better life."[13]

 The ashes of Madelyn Dunham were scattered out to sea in late December while the
Obama family was on a post election "vacation."

Meanwhile, focused on the legitimacy of Obama's citizenship, Hawaii's Governor Linda Lingle placed the birth certificate in question under seal with Hawaii's Department of Health to ensure no one in the press obtained access to it. In a letter to World Net Daily, Governor Lingle said that the birth certificate would be released if Obama requested. The governor's communication did not clarify whether the birth certificate was originally issued by a Hawaiian doctor, or if it was generated in Kenya and subsequently registered in Hawaii.[14]

Contradicting Obama's claim that he was born in Hawaii, Obama's younger half-sister told reporters in a November 2004 interview with the Rainbow Newsletter that Barack Obama was born on Aug. 4, 1961, at Queens Medical Center in Honolulu. Then, in a February 2008 interview with Honolulu Star-Bulletin she reportedly told reporters that Obama was born at the Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children.

Hawaii's KGMB9 News reported that a health official in Hawaii, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, said she had seen a birth certificate. Her explanation was that Hawaiian laws regarding identity theft prevented her from releasing the document. [15]

After multiple dismissed lawsuits to produce the birth certificate, Obama still will not allow the birth certificate's release. The secrecy perpetuates suspicion that Obama is not a naturalized U.S. citizen, and therefore ineligible for Presidency.[16]

Unfortunately, Madelyn Dunham could have helped Obama prove the legitimacy of his citizenship, and possibly could have vouched for those of his acquaintances alleged to be terrorists and communists. She also could have answered the question of who paid for her grandson's expensive tuitions at Hawaii's elite Punahou High School, his Law Degree at Harvard, and some of the papers he wrote.

Barack Hussein Obama's background and associations makes him a well groomed President for Communist and Islamic movements. Sharing mutual goals and historical allies, the grooming consists of radical Communist and Islamic mentors and sponsors like Frank Marshall Davis, Saul Alinsky, Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, Rashid Khalidi, and Kahlil al-Mansour, the infamous Reverend Jeremiah Wright. 

Saul Alinsky, considered the father of community organizing in Chicago, wrote a book called "Rules for Radicals" which he actually dedicated to Lucifer. The book advocates working within a system to obtain revolutionary 'change' in a given society, noting that it  requires an agitating 'organizer' whose job is to  persuade the people in the community to believe that  unresponsive governments and greedy corporations are the sources of their alleged misery. The organizing agitator then unifies the community to demand what they think they deserve, until governments and corporations grant their wishes in an effort to quiet them.

This excerpt from "Rules for Radicals" describes how to bring about such change:

 "There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevsky said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To bring on this reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system..."

 Alinsky believed the established church communities provided perfect launching for agitation, creating bonds, and for demanding goods and services. A few years after his death, Saul Alinsky's Chicago followers hired Barack Obama as a community organizer for the Developing Communities Project (DCP) of the Calumet Community Religious Conference (CCRC) in Chicago's South Side poor neighborhoods.

Organization efforts required associations with pastors and congregants. Realizing that he must join a church, Obama chose the Trinity United Church of Christ where the Black Nationalist pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, preached an anti-American, racist, "black" gospel. It also questions the extent that Obama influenced Jeremiah Wright's radical beliefs as the years went by as Obama would later say that the position may have been the best education he had ever received in the methods of community organizing.

Obama's experiences later broadened to an association with Allison Davis, who hired Barrack Obama in his small Chicago law firm called Davis, Miner, and Barnhill in 1993. Obama left the firm in 1999-2000 to go into business with the Syrian-American housing developer, Tony Rezko who met Allison Davis as a client.

Tony Rezko was one of Obama's first campaign contributors when he ran for the Illinois state senate. From two of Rezko's companies, the contributions were each $1,000. Then in 1998 Senator Obama wrote letters to city and state officials urging them to fund a Davis-Rezko housing project. Tony Rezco was indicted on sixteen counts of financial corruption, charges of fraud, attempted extortion, money laundering, aiding bribery, and demanding kickbacks from companies seeking state government business contracts under Illinois' former governor, Rod Blagojevich. An activist who raised money for both U.S. political parties, Rezko was convicted on multiple charges of federal corruption just one day after Obama became the Democratic Presidential nominee. Obama was cited in the indictment as receiving political contributions out of Rezko's kickback fund.

Tony Rezko hosted fundraising events for Obama and was a member of Obama's Senate campaign finance committee, which collected $14 million for Obama's race against conservative Alan Keyes. In order to avoid a scandal during the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama returned $85,000 that Rezko and his family had donated to him.

While Obama served as a state senator in Illinois, he also sat on the board of the nonprofit Woods Fund in 2001. The Woods Fund is a Chicago-based foundation that claims its primary mission is to make financial grants to create and increase opportunities for disadvantaged people and low-income communities.

Barack Obama was the first chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a post he held from 1995-1999 when he stepped down only to remain on the board. Bill Clinton attended the 1995 White House event when philanthropist Walter Annenberg announced that he was making a $500 million grant to cities across the nation for public school reform. Bill Ayers led the group that brought $49.2 million to Chicago and formed the Chicago Annenberg Challenge- the radical "education reform" organization. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform (ACORN) received funding from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge Grant, the Woods Fund, and the Joyce Foundation when Obama served on their boards.

Madeline Talbott, head organizer for Illinois ACORN wanted banks to ease down-payment requirements and ignore weak credit histories. She had recruited Obama in the early 1990's to run training sessions for activists pushing the uncertain loans. With many of the loaning decisions reportedly based solely on the color of the borrowers' skin, the cause endorsed lending to people who could never reasonably pay their loans off. One wonders if it could have also been based on their religious affiliations. ACORN would also become a key beneficiary of TARP's rescue plan in October 2008.[17]

Bill Ayers also sat on the board of the Woods Fund Obama participated in awarding grants, including a $70,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, a Chicago-based group founded by Rashid and Mona Khalidi, during his last year on the board of The Woods Fund in 2002.

Part of the "domestic terrorist group," Bill Ayers was former leader of the Weather Underground, a radical left-wing group that advocated violence against the United States that during the late sixties and early seventies, openly called for revolution in America. The Weather Underground participated in the bombings of the U.S. Capital, the Pentagon and a State Department building while Ayers and his wife, Bernadette Dohrn, hid from law enforcement. In 1981 Ayers and Dohrn turned themselves in to federal authorities, but all charges were dropped as a result of alleged government legal misconduct. Both Ayers and Dohrn had gone underground in 1970 after others in the group accidentally detonated a bomb in a Greenwich Village townhouse, killing three of the group's members, which included Ayers girlfriend at that time. In his 2001 memoir, Ayers wrote, "I don't regret setting the bombs. I feel we didn't do enough."

Ayers also contributed money to Obama's re-election fund to the Illinois State Senate in April 2001, as reported in State Board of Elections.[18] When Obama ran his first campaign, Ayers and Dorhn had hosted an event for him, providing further evidence of the closeness of an ongoing political partnership.[19]

Today Ayers is a professor of education and a Senior University Scholar at the University of Illinois. He has also authored a series of books about parenting and educating children.

Communist Frank Marshall Davis was a childhood mentor of Obama's. Publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), Frank Davis and the young Obama developed a close relationship, listening to "poetry" and getting career advice.

A top official at the Pentagon during former-President George H. W. Bush's Administration and a former CIA intelligence officer maintained that Barack Obama and William Ayers funneled money to Professor Rashid Khalidi, a known terrorist sympathizer. Born in New York to a Jerusalem born Saudi citizen with Palestinian origins who worked for the UN, Khalidi was the director of the Beirut, Lebanon official Palestinian press agency, FAFA from 1972 through 1983. Khalidi left Chicago for Columbia University in New York, where he holds the Edward Said Chair in Arab Studies. He serves on the faculty as History teacher and he is director of its Middle East Institute in the School of International and Public Affairs.[20]

Bill Ayers and Barack Obama gave testimonials at a goodbye party for Khalidi in Chicago. According to confidential sources, Khalidi has direct ties to the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), a group on the US State Department's list of known terrorist groups. Khalidi is the professor who invited Iranian President Ahmedinejad to visit Columbia University after he finished his speech at the UN in September 2007.

Black Muslim lawyer Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour recommended Barack Obama for admission to Harvard Law School in 1988. In the 1960s, al-Mansour was involved with California Bay Area racial politics as founder of a group called the African American Association. He helped Huey Newton and Bobby Seale establish the Black Panther Party. Formerly known as Don Warden, al-Mansour would later become a Muslim. A key figure in the Islamist "stealth" jihad, al-Mansour recruits prison inmates and mosque worshippers to engage in an apocalyptic battle against America. In the words of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic cause is to:

 "Eliminate and destroy the Western civilization from within."

 In the mid 1970's, al-Mansour met Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. Since then al-Mansour has been an adviser to Saudi billionaires who fund the stealth jihad and spread Wahhabi Islamic extremism in America.[21] Nephew of the late Saudi King Fahd, Prince Alwaleed founded the Alaweed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMSU) that has given millions of dollars to Middle East studies programs at Georgetown, Harvard, UC Berkeley, and other Universities. He offered $10 million to families of victims of the terrorist attacks on 9/11. After Mayor Rudolph Giuliani of New York rejected the offer, Alwaweed criticized U.S. Middle East policy, especially regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict saying: "Our Palestinian brethren continue to be slaughtered at the hands of Israelis as the world (looks the other way)." [22] Alwaweed also suggested that the terrorist attacks were an indication that America "should re-examine its policies in the Middle East and adopt a more balanced stand toward the Palestinian cause."[23]

The Nation of Islam's, Louis Farrakhan endorsed Obama for President. Farrakhan is known for targeting hateful statements toward Jews, whites and homosexuals. In his address to the world at Saviors' Day in 2008, Farrakhan, said:

 "Brothers and sisters, Barack Obama to me, is a herald of the Messiah. Barack Obama is like the trumpet that alerts you something new, something better is on the way. ...Would God allow Barack to be president of a country that has been so racist, so evil in its treatment of Hispanics, Native Americans, and Blacks? Would God do something like that? Yeah. Of course he would."

President Obama's service to an Islamic agenda extends to participation in the "Alliance of Civilizations." UN-sponsored, the Alliance reflects the views of the OIC.  A 2005 statement issued after a summit in Mecca explains the mission of the Alliance:

 "The Conference underlined the need to collectively endeavor to reflect the noble Islamic values, counter Islamophobia, defamation of Islam and its values and desecration of Islamic holy sites, and to effectively coordinate with States as well as regional and international institutions and organizations to urge them to criminalize this phenomenon as a form of racism."[24]

 During the 2008 Presidential Campaign, Obama raised nearly twice that of John McCain.

More than half of the $426.9 million Barack Obama raised by the end of September 2008 came from small donors whose names the Obama campaign would not disclose.

Federal law requires campaigns to identify donors who give more than $200 during the election cycle. In the largest pool of unidentified money that ever flooded into the U.S. election system, the Federal Election Committee (FEC) determined that the Obama campaign drew in $222.7 million in donations of $200 or less. Only $39.6 million of that amount came from donors the Obama campaign identified. Since the great majority of those donations did not exceed the $200 threshold, there is no way of knowing who they were from.

The FEC noted unusual patterns in the donations among disclosed donors who went beyond the $200 minimum. FEC practice is to do a post-election review of all presidential campaigns, but results can take three or four years. [25]

Further endorsement of Islam within his administration came when Obama announced in early February 2009 that he would change a "Faith Based Initiative" originally announced by former President Bush early in 2001. Obama said a new expanded Office for Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships will give money to mosques and Islamic charities in a sign of "outreach to the Muslim world."

Writer and journalist, Debbie Schussel reported that President Bush had invited Hezbollah agent and pro-Iranian Imam, Hassan Qazwini to his Crawford ranch to help him design the Faith-Based and Community Initiatives Act[26]

The Faith-Based Act creates tax incentives and other advantages to encourage charitable contributions and participation in so-called Faith-Based programs.[27] When addressing criticism that the Act violated separation of church and state as provided for in the "establishment clause" of the 1st Amendment to the Constitution, the Bush Administration claimed that funds were not for religious purposes, but would constitute a "compassion capital fund" to match private donations to help small community and faith-based charities with non-religious expenses. President Bush maintained that the office would assist and encourage faith-based organizations seeking federal funds for combating problems like "drug addiction, homelessness, and soup." [28]

Further troubling is the unqualified language Barrack Obama used throughout his campaign, and continues to use. He painted an abstract picture of "change" with a broad brush without accurately describing what the change would be. For example, he said that part of the money for the proposed Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Plan should go to education so that foreign investors would continue to invest in America, while promising to "return America's wealth to its rightful owners." What education (or re-education) efforts this will include is largely left to the imagination, as he mentioned Science and Math as mere examples. In his first Press Conference at the White House later the same day, February 9, 2009, he added Libraries and Labs, this time without mentioning Science and Math, and adding that we need to "experiment with Charter Schools, hire new teachers and fire bad teachers." Does he mean that we need Charter schools like the Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy (TIZA) in Minnesota recently been discovered to be promoting Islam with taxpayer dollars? Therefore, an increase in education funding could ostensibly include more than Americans would allow to if they knew the details, such as an expansion of what Clinton paved the way for in his 1995 Education Guidelines; funding Islamic programs disguised as cultural enlightenment.

The definition of good and bad is merely suggestive based on what we expect and think is right. Americans can agree that currently good teachers do not get enough recognition, and it is difficult to fire bad teachers. We assume education reform efforts will uphold traditional American values of freedom and liberty. But without qualification, the unqualified statements could actually mean that funds will be used to hire new teachers who will be submissive to an agenda, and to fire those who support American traditions and Constitutional values.

Obama wants to create more jobs with infrastructure projects, but who will be hired? What companies will get the contracts? And who are the foreign investors Obama hopes will invest in America? Is Obama part of a larger plan to provide labor and money for the oil rich Saudis, who are known to fund financial jihad, and have been successful in keeping secret the American corporations they have ownership in? Obama pressured Americans to pass the stimulus bill quickly by disaster, saying, "so we must act quickly to avoid disaster."

What disaster is he referring to? Could the urgency actually be extortion to ward off a potential terrorist attack? Americans need to realize that unqualified statements are potential threats because without specific word qualification and transparent plans, any definition is possible from a man who is potentially unqualified to even hold the office of U.S. President.

Consistent with the premise of this book and the examples in this chapter, that our leaders have willingly or unwillingly coerced Americans to accept Islam while steadily making the U.S. a dhimmi nation, Obama bowed down to  Saudi King Abdullah at the G20 in Europe. Expressions on the faces of onlookers showed both amusement and surprise, and many Americans called the spectacle a national disgrace. Just a few months earlier in Cairo, Obama said that the U.S. is "one of the largest Muslim countries in the world." Perhaps Obama bowed down to the Emperor Akihito of Japan a few months later to make the bow to Saudi King Abdullah appear normal, as he had not bowed down to any leader previously.

The federal government requires "sensitivity training" for federal employees, including those who work at the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Obama has appointed Arif Alikhan, a Sunni Muslim as Assistant Secretary to Homeland Security, and Kareem Shora, the national executive director for the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, to a position on the Homeland Security Advisory Council.

The repression of political correctness combined with acceptance of Muslims in the U.S. military produced 13 victims when Army Major Nidal Hasan went on a murderous rampage at Fort Hood only days after the House Judiciary Committee removed a part of the USA Patriot Act for tracking non-U.S. citizens in anti-terrorism investigations. Obama would not admit it was an act of Islamic terror in spite of mounting evidence that proves Major Hasan had been openly espousing Islamic jihad in the military against non-Muslims for years.

Obama has nationalized entire industries with taxpayer bailouts, passed the Economic Stimulus Bill, pushed the Health Care Bill, and the Cap and Trade Bill, converting a once free-market into a government-run socialist state. All of these actions rely on heavily increased taxes from the American taxpayer with more control over their lives for generations to come.

Obama's leniency toward Islam provokes the question of whose and what interests he is really standing for. The man with the name Barack Hussein Obama apologizes for America to Muslim nations while he endorses Islam in America. However shocking it may seem, and whatever the intentions, with Islam's nose in American government, the socialist plans are paving the way to generations of dhimmitude. The inflicting control over American lives the plans will cause and the taxes Americans will have to pay to put them into action is analogous to a jizya tax in accordance to Islamic doctrine-taxes imposed on non-Muslims to control them until they embrace Islam completely.

The 1,000 figure doesn't even include all the illegal immigrant criminals the feds helped get off in the nation's eighth-largest county, only the most serious, according to frustrated Dallas County officials. They assure defendants knowingly use the system as a means to avoid prosecution. The sad thing, of course, is that a federal agency is aiding and abetting them.

It could be worse, however. The criminals could be released in the U.S., which ICE does regularly and attributes to resource shortages. Earlier this year a Houston newspaper obtained public records that revealed the agency has freed hundreds of illegal immigrants convicted of felonies-including homicide, sexual assault and weapons violations-in the last few years alone. In many cases ICE doesn't even know the whereabouts of the criminal aliens, who were released in various different states.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced Nov. 13 that the U.S. Justice Department had decided to try five suspected terrorists currently being held at Guantanamo Bay in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, located in lower Manhattan. The five suspects - Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarek bin Attash, Ramzi bin al-Shibh, Ali Abdul-Aziz Ali and Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi - are all accused of being involved in the 9/11 plot, with Mohammed describing himself as the mastermind in a 2003 confession.

The announcement follows from U.S. President Barack Obama's first executive order, which he signed on Jan. 22, to close the U.S. military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay and another executive order to suspend the military tribunals set up under the Bush administration to try suspected terrorists.

Holder's decision has generated much debate and highlighted the legal murkiness concerning the status of Guantanamo detainees and how best to bring them to justice.

Beyond this murkiness is the perceived security threat of bringing five suspected terrorists accused of plotting the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to trial in New York City. Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said on CNN's "State of the Union" that he thought holding the trial in New York would put residents at risk. And Andrew McCarthy, former assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, wrote in The New Republic that the trial will "create a public-safely nightmare for New York City." Numerous other observers and media outlets around the world have voiced similar security concerns about the New York trial.

Although there has been much criticism of the decision to hold the trial in New York City, when it comes to prosecuting terror suspects, the Southern District of New York knows what it's doing. The staff of the U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of New York has gained considerable knowledge and expertise prosecuting terror cases over the years, just as the U.S. Marshals Service Special Operations Group (SOG) has gained much experience providing security for those trials. It was in the Southern District of New York in 1995 that Omar Abdel Rahman, aka the Blind Sheikh, was tried for the so-called Landmarks Plot of 1993 and received a life sentence.

In 1996, Abdel Basit (aka Ramzi Yousef) and two co-conspirators were also tried in the Southern District and sentenced to life in prison for their roles in the Bojinka Plot, which also included an indictment for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (the staff of the Southern District has been familiar with Mohammed for some time now). The attackers behind the 1998 attacks against the U.S. embassies were also prosecuted in the Southern District of New York and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Few other courts have so much experience handling and prosecuting high-profile terrorism cases, so it should have come as no surprise that Holder named the district as the venue for the upcoming trial. On top of all this, the World Trade Center towers were also in the Southern District of New York, putting the deadliest site of the 9/11 attacks under the Southern District's jurisdiction.

The case will be prosecuted jointly by the offices of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, led by Preet Bharara, and the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, led by Neil H. MacBride. The Eastern District of Virginia has also successfully prosecuted several terrorism cases, including those of John Walker Lindh in 2002, the Virginia Jihad Network in 2005 and Zacarias Moussaoui in 2006.

While some believe that trying the so-called "Gitmo Five" in New York City will result in more terrorist attacks in the city, STRATFOR does not anticipate a marked increase in the number of plots or attacks. New York City has long been a popular target for radical Islamists - there have been nine known plots involving targets in New York uncovered since the 9/11 attacks, including two in the past six months.

In May 2009, four men were arrested for attempting to detonate explosives outside a synagogue in the Bronx, and in September, Najibullah Zazi was arrested for plotting to detonate backpack explosives on trains in New York City. Other plots have included a 2007 plan to detonate fuel tanks at John F. Kennedy International Airport, a 2006 plot to detonate explosives in the Holland Tunnel and a 2004 plot to attack a subway station near Madison Square Garden.

New York City remains an alluring target for jihadists because of its symbolism. Home to more than 8 million people, it is the largest city in the United States and a global financial and media center. Whatever happens there gets more exposure and publicity than virtually anywhere else in the world. It is also a perceived center of Jewish wealth and culture (New York has the second-largest Jewish population behind Tel Aviv), compounding the threat from Islamist radicals.

New York City will remain a terrorist target for many reasons other than the Gitmo Five trial. It is also interesting to note that none of the city's other high-profile terrorism trials has ever resulted in a retaliatory attack against the city.

In addition to the federal prosecutors who will be involved in the trial having experience dealing with terrorism cases, the New York Police Department has the training, manpower and focus to provide effective physical security.

Federal agents, including those of the U.S. Marshals Service SOG, will be primarily responsible for handling the five suspects and providing security inside the federal courthouse. The building is one of the most secure federal courthouses in the country, equipped with anti-vehicle borne explosive device barricades, 24-hour guard posts and high-resolution video cameras.

The U.S. Marshals will be augmented by NYPD "Hercules" teams (designed to provide a surge of police presence in an area to prevent or disrupt criminal and terrorist operations) and will likely place sniper teams on nearby rooftops for added security. Vehicular and pedestrian traffic around the courthouse will be severely limited, with nearby streets closed to traffic and nearby subway entrances closed to riders.

During the trial, the five defendants will be held at the Metropolitan Correctional Complex, which is connected to the courthouse via a third-of-a-mile-long underground tunnel.

This significantly reduces the threat of terrorist attack or a disruption of the proceedings by allowing security forces to control the geography of the trial venue and spot unusual activity.

Another geographic benefit is the fact that Manhattan is an island with limited access points (bridges and tunnels), which makes it easier to seal off the area and control who or what gets in or out. These factors do not necessarily preclude an attack, especially a suicide attack in which the perpetrator is undeterred by the risk of death, but do decrease the options of an attacker and increase the options of law enforcement personnel in dealing with the potential risks.

Because the courthouse will be under such tight security, any attacker able to penetrate the island cordon and slip into the area would likely go after softer targets surrounding the building.

The NYPD will be responsible for protecting areas outside the courthouse and will probably create a secure buffer around the complex, the depth of which will depend on the severity of any given threat. Police would have the wherewithal to put whole sections of the city under heavy lockdown and provide a level of physical security designed to thwart terrorist activities that have reached the latter stages (deployment, attack and escape). This buffer would both protect softer targets nearby and make it that much harder for would-be attackers to infiltrate the courthouse. The NYPD also has the intelligence-collecting capabilities (informants, undercover officers, surveillants, analysts, etc.) to keep a close eye on any potential threat in the area leading up to and during the trial.

The NYPD developed these capabilities with a vengeance following the 9/11 attacks, and in the years since it has become quite adept at conducting preventative counterterrorism investigations rather than just reactive ones.

In addition to the NYPD, other first-responders in New York - the fire department, emergency medical services and transportation agencies - are experienced and well-trained in dealing with terrorist attacks and can support security efforts surrounding the trial. Given the 9/11 experience, Manhattan residents and workers are also well-versed in emergency action plans and preparations.

Certainly, the fact that such a high-profile trial will be held in New York City will temporarily add to the workload of federal and municipal security and emergency personnel, but in some ways it will be little more than a routine effort.

The city is used to high-profile events, regularly hosting such events as the U.N. General Assembly, with its attendant flow of international VIPs. New York City has been and will remain a prime terrorist target, and the people responsible for maintaining security in the city are very good at what they do. Indeed, Manhattan - given its recent history of civic trauma and intense focus on counterterrorism - may very well possess the safest civilian court in the country.

It is beyond outrageous.

I could understand it, if there was no choice. But there is a choice, a much better choice, a saner choice, a choice that would not risk acquittals, a cost savings choice and a safer choice. There is a common sense choice: A military tribunal. It's legal and it's more efficient. It's designed for war criminals. After all, these men committed war crimes, and were rounded up in foreign soil as "war criminals."

The ill-fated decision to hold the trial of five terrorists, war criminals, in a civilian New York courtroom is a grievous mistake that could conceivably bring humongous consequences in a myriad of ways. The Justice Department has unnecessarily put the cases at greater risk, not to mention the security of this nation, and the people of New York City.

Here's 10 reasons why it's plain stupid: Pay particular attention to item number 10:

1 - Showtime for Radicals. We can now expect a circus of a trial, a la O.J. Simpson, further exacerbated by monstrous demonstrations/disturbances by radicals in the street who bear a seething disdain for the United States and its foreign policies. A military tribunal is far more controlled.

2 - Raises Threat Level for Violence. Osama Bin Laden and his warriors, many of whom are aliens or stealth residents of this country, would be following the will of Allah by sending the defendants to glory if a suicide bomber detonated a truck or missile within a couple blocks of the courthouse. Remember what one truck bomb did in Oklahoma City.

3 - Protections to Criminals. It allows foreign war criminals all the entitlements and protections of our domestic criminal justice system, just like a U.S. citizen, to and including legal representation at the expense of American taxpayers.

4 - The Wrong Message. It sends a clear message to terrorists and jihadists around the world, that targeting civilians in America ensures protections in the civilian justice system.

5 - Enhances Their Stage. It's exactly what the jihadists want, and we're giving it to them, an internationally televised forum for Islamic haters of America to espouse radical rhetoric, with pro-Jihad signs and repeated shouts into the cameras, including threats and intimidation of Americans if the defendants are convicted.

6 - Major Security. Measures for security of massive proportions will be needed by the city of New York, driving the (unnecessary) costs to the taxpayer beyond millions. Military tribunals are held in the secure confines of a military base.

7 - Intelligence at Risk. National intelligence will be seriously compromised by a legal process that require release of all information that led to the arrest and apprehension of the suspects. Such revelations about American intelligence - and the intelligence of our allies - including background, investigations, names, and methodology can jeopardize our national security, and further require unveiling of classified information for the public record. (Our enemies must be partying)

8 - Suppression of Confessions. Admissibility of any confessions by defendants will be at risk for a host of reasons, to and including the absence of reading Miranda rights, which would not, and should not, apply in a battlefield situation, or at a war crimes trial. Defense attorneys stand a good chance of winning this issue in a civilian court with the confessions thrown out. The jury will never hear them.

9 - The Torture Issue. All forms of enhanced interrogations used (so-called torture) will be subject to scrutiny, not only jeopardizing the admissibility of evidence, it could put the United States intelligence operatives more on trial as being the bad guys. Much like the famous "N" word issue in the O.J. trial, which had nothing to do with his guilt, such an issue can easily become the spotlight for a jury, rather than the totality of the evidence.

10 - Fair Jury? This is the whopper. Pressured by CAIR and other Islamic power organizations, the defense will argue vehemently for jury panel of "peers" and they'll get it.That means, one or more Muslims will be seated on the jury. Some of my readers will say "so what, it's just a religion." Here's the so what:

Even the most moderate of Muslims are bonded by strict loyalty (sometimes blind) to their God, and to fellow Muslims. I have had "moderate" Muslims tell me they will not pledge allegiance to the American Flag because their only allegiance is to Allah. I know of one Muslim FBI agent who refused to wear a wire because it meant taping another Muslim. (Yes, he kept his job). Over one-fourth of American Muslims polled under the age of 28 consider Osama Bin Laden a hero, and the 9/11 attack justified. Another poll revealed that one-third of Muslims believe America's response to 9/11 is a war on Islam.

Fact is, radical Islamists and jihadists often pose as "moderates" in order to achieve their goals. "Taqiyya" is an Islamic term which allows militants to conceal their intentions, or violate the Koran, if it advances the cause of spreading or protecting Islam. All it would take, is one Muslim juror practicing Taqiyya, one closet jihadist, or yet, one basic sympathizer, to hold out on a verdict. Not only that, families of jurors could be subject to threats if the wrong verdict comes down. That is not far fetched.

Considering the certain omission of evidence and the seating a "diversified" jury, convictions will be hard to come by.

It only takes ONE out of twelve to create a hung jury.

That risk would be totally eliminated in a military tribunal. It's a matter of choice within the Obama administration.

I can only imagine the horror in the hearts of families of 9/11 victims.

This is not a Republican versus Democrat issue. The fury is spilling from both sides of the aisle, condemning this outrageous decision. "Unconscionable," said Senator John Cornyn, R-Texas. "Do not belong in our courts," said Sen. Jim Webb, D-Virginia. "Dangerous," said Rudy Giuliani, former mayor of New York City. While some politicians and pundits can't see the proverbial forest through the trees, (like Mayor Bloomberg and Geraldo Rivera) most will eventually see the clouds open up very soon and amend their thinking. That is, if they have a brain.

These men are accused of war crimes. They should be tried as such. President Obama said this was a prosecutorial decision, but that's a tap dance. The Buck Stops Where? Eric Holder would never have pursued such a volatile and high profile issue without first consulting his boss.

We have emboldened our enemies. What could be worse?

It's not too late. Write. Speak out. Express outrage. Demand that the trial be held on a secure base by a military tribunal. We owe it to the families of 9/11 victims. We owe it to America. And, it can be done.

The panel's findings rejected Stewart's claims across the board, including the length of her sentence, with the only dissent coming from a judge who felt the trial court's "breathtakingly low sentence of 2 1/3 years ... trivializes Stewart's extremely serious conduct."

Stewart's client, the "Blind Sheikh," considered the inspiration behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, was convicted of a variety of terrorism-related crimes in October 1995. In prison, he was subjected to special restrictions that were "intended to prevent him from directing or facilitating yet more violent acts of terrorism from his prison cell."

Those restrictions included the screening of all outgoing and incoming non-legal mail and allowing telephone contacts only with his attorneys and his wife. Such measures often are used in gang and terrorism related sentences to prevent further mayhem by the prisoner and typically are effective.

The court in Stewart's appeal noted that restrictions rely on "the trust placed in the attorney." In this case, Stewart repeatedly swore under oath that she would comply with the terms that had been put in place for communicating with her client.

Despite these promises, as Judge John M. Walker, Jr. observed, Stewart "executed a scheme of lies and deception against the government to keep the lines of communication open between Rahman and Egyptian jihadists" in al Gama'a al Islamiyya. Stewart served as a conduit between Rahman and the outside world for years, allowing him to exercise his influence over a cease-fire that had been declared by al-Gama'a.

Following his incarceration, a faction of al-Gama'a declared a unilateral cease-fire regarding its violent operations in Egypt. A rival faction of the organization, which did not support the move, sought the issuance of a fatwa - or religious edict - from Rahman, who was locked up in federal prison with no access to his followers. That's when Stewart smuggled letters from and to the Blind Sheikh, including one in 2000 which stated:

"To those against whom war is made, permission is given to fight, because they are wronged (oppressed)-and verily God is most powerful for their aid....The latest thing published in the newspapers was about the Egyptian regime's killing of four members of the group. This is...enough proof that the Egyptian regime does not have the intention to interact with this peaceful Initiative [i.e., the cease-fire] which aims at unification. I therefore demand that my brothers, the sons of [al Gama'a] do a comprehensive review of the Initiative and its results. I also demand that they consider themselves absolved from it." [Emphasis added]

Believing that the written response was not forceful enough, Stewart continued to disregard the restrictions and spoke with a Reuters reporter based in Cairo, telling him that "Abdel Rahman was withdrawing his support for the ceasefire that currently exists."

Although Stewart claimed these actions were simply "zealous advocacy" on behalf of her client, a jury in the Southern District of New York called them criminal. She was convicted of all counts arising from her unauthorized contacts with and behavior related to the Blind Sheikh.

The appellate court notes that Rahman was a key player in conspiracies to assassinate Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak while he was visiting New York City; to attack military installations; bomb the World Trade Center in 1993; and a conspiracy to bomb bridges, tunnels, and the federal building containing the New York office of the FBI.

According to the government's evidence at his trial:

"Abdel Rahman, a blind Islamic scholar and cleric, was the leader of [a] seditious conspiracy, the purpose of which was "jihad," in the sense of a struggle against the enemies of Islam. Indicative of this purpose, in a speech to his followers Abdel Rahman instructed that they were to "do jihad with the sword, with the cannon, with the grenades, with the missile.... against God's enemies." Abdel Rahman's role in the conspiracy was generally limited to overall supervision and direction of the membership, as he made efforts to remain a level about the details of individual operations. However, as a cleric and the group's leader, Abdel Rahman was entitled to dispense fatwas, religious opinions on the holiness of an act, to members of the group sanctioning proposed courses of conduct and advising them whether the acts would be in furtherance of jihad."

As the appellate court explained in denying Stewart's challenges, "Abdel Rahman's instrumental participation-indeed, his leadership-would...have been unavailable to the conspiracy without the active participation of Stewart."

Despite the dissenting opinion, the court left open the chance for reconsideration of her two-year sentence. Consequently, the district court will have an opportunity to reconsider that sentence, taking into consideration additional facts, including that Stewart intentionally lied to investigators and attempted to hide her criminal conduct.

Whether or not the District Court enhances Stewart's sentence, this ruling comes at an important time. As the Justice Department begins preparations for the criminal trial of Khaleed Sheikh Mohammad in the Southern District of New York, it must remain vigilant to ensure that sensitive information is not leaked by defense attorneys. While this case surely will be used as a prime example for why terrorists should not be tried in civilian courts, it is important to remember that Stewart was an anomaly. Her actions violated not only the Rules of Professional Conduct governing attorneys, but court orders and common sense.

A sentence reflecting the true nature of her crimes is not only consistent with the evidence presented at her trial but demanded by the law.

------------------------------------------

Nidal Hasan, the Muslim U.S. Army Major accused of the mass killings at Fort Hood, is listed as participant in the George Washington University Homeland Security Policy Institute's (HSPI) Presidential Transition Task Force Report. While this is not entirely surprising, given Hasan's former position in the Army, it raises significant questions about White House reluctance to release relevant records allegedly in its possession.

In his capacity as Disaster & Preventive Psychiatry Fellow at the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine, Nidal Hasan registered ("RSVP'd") to attend as an audience member a number of Homeland Security Policy Institute (HSPI) events in the period June 2008 to February 2009.  All of these events were open to the public.  At no time has Nidal Hasan been affiliated with HSPI or The George Washington University.

The HSPI furthermore stated that anyone who RSVPs to participate in the forum is listed in their report. Daniel Kaniewski, Deputy Director of HSPI provided an explanation, quoted here from the Gawker:

All of our events are open to the public," Kaniewski says, "and when someone RSVPs we put their name in the [report] so everyone knows who was in the room." He says institute staffers recall Hasan attending at least one task force event, and that he RSVP'd for several. "We do recall him speaking at one of our events as an audience member," he says, "but none of us recall what he actually said. Generally, our events are attended by people in the homeland security community, and Hasan had a very legitimate reason to be there. He was a fellow at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences."

That sounds plausible. Hasan appears in Appendix  C under the heading "Task Force Event Participants" The Appendix is many pages long and lists hundreds of names. His is but one. I did notice that either there is a typo, or pages 22 through 26 are missing from the report. It doesn't appear however, that any relevant information is missing.

Meanwhile, Pete Hoekstra, the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Subcommittee has accused the White House of withholding information it has on Hasan and has promised to launch an investigation into the Ft. Hood shootings. For its part, the White House is getting downright nasty, recently threatening a Democrat strategist not to appear on Fox News. Things just keep getting weirder and weirder.

One wonders if this wasn't at least part of what the Administration has been trying to hide, if for no other reason than to avoid being erroneously associated with the shooter. Masters at the smear campaign, the Obama team, like all Democrats, know how damaging even mistaken associations can be. In fact they rely on it when smearing opponents. In this case they certainly don't want to inadvertently be tied to the name.

And with good reason. The Obama administration seems more concerned with American perceptions of Muslims than in getting to the bottom of this case. President Obama's first words following the attack were that we shouldn't "jump to conclusions." Homeland Security chief, Janet Napolitano's were to reassure Muslims that DHS was doing everything it could to prevent an "anti-Muslim backlash," not anything about this guy's motives or connections. This is tantamount to a complete abdication of her responsibility for overseeing domestic security. She is a tongue chewing, babbling idiot. But General Casey took the cake for absolute out of control lunacy when he said:

Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength, and as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a tragedy, I think that's worse.

"..if our diversity becomes a tragedy, I think that's worse..." How could anyone serve under this man after hearing that? How must soldiers in harm's way overseas feel knowing that their commander thinks their lives less important than some amorphous and irrelevant social goal like "diversity?" How could someone so ignorant to the subversive goal of diversity, cultural corruption, find his way to a top leadership post in our military hierarchy?

And in spite of the Obama administration's paranoid fears, no one has yet jumped to any conclusions about Hasan. Yet those conclusions are way past due.

Hasan was a terrorist. He planned his attack. He purchased one of the most lethal handguns on the market to accomplish his task (another demonstration of premeditation). He shouted "Allahu Akbar!" when he launched his murderous shooting spree.

But way before all this he was practically screaming out his violent Islamic sentiments.

His business cards included the acronym "SoA," widely interpreted to stand for "Soldier of Allah."  According to the London Telegraph and the Washington Post, in an hour-long talk before staff at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Hasan stated these gems:

• Non-Muslims are infidels, condemned to Hell, who should be set on fire;
• Non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats;
• Muslims in the military should be excused as conscientious objectors to "avoid adverse events..."
• We love death more then [sic] you love life!

Okay! Well, let's not jump to conclusions!

According to NPR, one doctor worried that Hasan could kill fellow soldiers, like the Army sergeant in Iraq, who killed 2 and wounded 14 with grenades.  Another said, "Everybody felt that if you were deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, you would not want Nidal Hasan in your foxhole."

Despite lengthy talks and agonizing over the issue, Walter Reed ultimately decided to kick the Hasan hot potato down the road to Fort Hood rather than deal with the problem directly, "because they didn't have clear evidence that he was unstable, and they worried they might be 'discriminating' against Hasan because of his seemingly extremist Islamic beliefs." They further rationalized that because Hood had more psychiatrists he would be watched more closely...

Finally, we have Hasan's connection to the radical Muslim cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki, who allegedly recruited Islamic militants for al Qaeda. Hasan attended Awlaki's mosque in Northern Virginia when the latter was Imam there, and e-mailed Awlaki multiple times over a period of months after Awlaki moved to Yemen. This contact was allegedly for research related to Hasan's master's degree, whatever that was about, but the London Telegraph reports that Hasan's eyes "lit up" when Awlaki's name was mentioned, according to another Muslim stationed at Fort Hood. Has anyone considered that Hasan could be communicating in code?

One question has not been asked. Did Hasan shave excess hair from his body and put on perfume? This is apparently a telltale sign for a Muslim about to conduct a suicide attack. According to Slate.com:

Traditionally, Muslims purify corpses by washing the skin and nails and sometimes by shaving the pubic hair. But suicide attackers are deprived of a proper burial, since there are usually no remains. To compensate, the attackers shear themselves ahead of time, both to guarantee some level of cleanliness at the time of instant incineration and to prove extreme devotion to personal purity.

This instruction, along with a lot of other more practical ones, was included in Mohammed Atta's handwritten last letter to his fellow terrorists.

Whether Hasan acted alone or in coordination with some other individual or group, it is clear that he was a Muslim terrorist bent on destruction.

That he was able to kill 14 people (including the unborn child of one victim) and wound many others after leaving a glaring trail of warnings, is an indictment of today's timid, politically correct, "leaders."

Yet statements by the Obama administration confirm our worst fears that not only have they not learned their lesson from this unspeakable act, they are actually redoubling their efforts to make sure PC continues to reign supreme. No matter how lethal the attack, no matter how obvious the source, don't profile, for in Casey's words "if our diversity becomes a tragedy, I think that is worse."

14 died to defend "diversity." How many more have to? Will we have to suffer a nuclear attack before we say "enough is enough?" PC kills. Will they ever get it?

Janet Napolitano, the Obama official in charge of protecting the country's safety, is most worried about a politically incorrect backlash against Muslims after the Ft. Hood massacre and says her agency is working hard with groups across the U.S. to deflect any retaliation against Muslims for one man's fury.

During a weekend visit to the United Arab Emirates Napolitano assured that the U.S. government objects to anti-Muslim sentiment emanating from the Ft. Hood murders and says Americans recognize that "this was an individual who does not represent the Muslim faith." Napolitano guaranteed that a civil rights and civil liberties directorate in her department aimed to "prevent everybody being painted with a broad brush." 

The Muslim Army psychiatrist, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, murdered 13 military colleagues and wounded 29 others as he chanted "Allahu Akbar!" ("God is great!") in Arabic. Hasan has ties to a radical mosque leader (Anwar al Awlaki) who promotes jihad against the U.S., had attempted to make contact with al Qaeda associates months earlier and defended Islamic suicide bombers in comments he posted on the internet. 

During an hour-long talk in front of dozens of other military doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington D.C., Hassan said non-Muslims should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats. He also said non-believers are infidels condemned to hell who should be set on fire. The presentation was supposed to be a discussion on a medical issue but instead Hassan delivered an extremist interpretation of the Koran. 

At least one veteran U.S. Senator risked the wrath of straying from political correctness to publicly say the Ft. Hood assassinations could have been a terrorist act. Connecticut Independent Joe Lieberman, who heads the Senate's Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, said initial evidence suggests that Hasan, was a "self-radicalized, home-grown terrorist" who had turned to Islamic extremism. 

That assessment should certainly give the Secretary of Homeland Security something bigger to worry about than the possibility of offending Muslims.

The amended complaint in United States v. ASSA Corp., now the largest civil forfeiture claim ever filed, is the latest in a series of moves taken by the United States government aimed at closing front companies funneling money to the Iranian government.

The complaint, filed in the Southern District of New York, alleges, among other things, that the "Alavi Foundation has been providing numerous services to the Iranian Government," including funneling money to Bank Melli, an institution which has been designated for its role in funding terrorism and nuclear proliferation.

Bank Melli was designated under Executive Order 13382-aimed at freezing the assets of proliferators of weapons of mass destruction-on October 25, 2007. At the time of its designation, the Treasury Department explained that:

Bank Melli provides financial services, including opening letters of credit and maintaining accounts, for Iranian front companies and entities engaged in proliferation activities. Further, Bank Melli has facilitated the purchase of sensitive materials utilized by Iran's nuclear and missile industry, and has handled transactions for other designated Iranian entities, including Bank Sepa, Defense Industries Organization, and the Shahid Hammas Industrial Group.

Following the designation of Bank Melli, the Iranian government began setting up front companies to hide its identity and continue sponsoring terrorism. Through these layers of front companies Bank Melli provided banking services to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) and the Qods force, a branch of the IRGC that has been designated under Executive Order 13224 for providing support to terrorist groups including the Taliban, Hizballah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Among the companies set up to mask Iranian activities were the ASSA Corporation and the Alavi Foundation, the two defendants in the recently amended civil forfeiture proceeding.

Assa Corporation is owned by Assa Company Limited, a UK entity which is wholly owned and operated by Iranian citizens who represent the interests of Bank Melli. Shortly after ASSA's creation, on December 17, 2008, the Treasury Department designated ASSA as a terrorist financier, and the Justice Department filed a civil forfeiture complaint over ASSAs financial interests in the United States. At the time, senior Treasury official, Stuart Levey, explained "this scheme to use a front company set up by Bank Melli-a known proliferator-to funnel money from the United States to Iran is yet another example of Iran's duplicity."

Similarly, the Alavi Foundation has served as a front for Iran's financing of terrorism. It began as the Pahlavi Foundation, a non-profit organization operated by the Shah of Iran and was later renamed the Mostazafan Foundation of New York and then finally the Alavi Foundation. Through each of these incarnations, the company has been used by Bank Melli and the Iranian government to finance terror, as detailed in the complaint. Along with ASSA Corporation, the Alavi Foundation maintains control over substantial assets and property within the United States. All would be forfeited should the government prevail at the upcoming trial in Manhattan.

The government's action, undertaken under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, seeks forfeiture of more than $500 million in assets, including:

• A 36 story office tower located at 650 Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan known as the Piaget building.
• Imam Ali Mosque in New York
• The Islamic Center of Houston in Texas
• The Islamic Center of Potomac in Maryland
• The Qoba Foundation of Carmichael in California
• All other assets of the Alavi Foundation and ASSA Corporation, including bank accounts and property in Virginia.

With Iran continuing to move forward in its plans to develop nuclear weapons, the U.S. government must use every tool at its disposal to dry up funding. The steps taken by the Justice Department this week are a strong indication that they are doing so. By closing down and seeking forfeiture of the assets of front corporations working on behalf of Iran, the U.S. can effectively curb not only the regime's nuclear weapons program but also its continued support for terrorist organizations.

In a related news item, the Alavi-owned Islamic Education Center of Houston has featured its own support for Iran. In a speech for the "Anniversary of the Islamic Revolution" of 1979, speaker Ghulam Hur Shabbiri prays for the victory of Islam all over the world:

This is just an opening. May Allah (swt) bless us all and forgive all sins of all life. And may Allah (swt) give Islami-Inqilab [Islamic Revolution] victory in [sic] all over the world. And may Allah give us UI that we may make this Inqilab [revolution] successful and we can join with the Imam of the age... to have a complete victory in the world and Islam, then Islam is going to be a ruling authority in the whole world and we can see the flag of Islam in the top places in this world.

Some ironies are more than cruel. On the day that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan approached Fort Hood armed with two handguns, he may have passed a newsstand selling copies of the November 9 edition of Army Times. On the front page was a photograph of a Sikh soldier wearing a beard, mustache, and turban with his uniform, accompanied by the headline, "Regs Make Way for Religion - Sikh, Muslim Allowed to Incorporate Customs into Army Dress."

Maj. Gen. Gina S. Farrisee, acting deputy chief of staff for Army personnel at the Pentagon, had granted a "religious accommodation" exception for Capt. Kamaljeet Singh Kalsi, a Sikh physician. Without providing a reason for the special treatment, General Farrisee's October 22 letter stated that Captain Kalsi would be allowed to wear uncut hair, a turban, and a beard with his uniform. The religious accommodation was granted for Kalsi alone, and the letter explicitly states that the Army may revoke it at any time. (Another Sikh, who has been studying dentistry under the same Health Professions Scholarship Program that Kalsi was enrolled in, expects a similar personal waiver.)

Army Times further reported that a Muslim officer serving as an orthopedic-surgery intern at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center had received permission to "wear a beard, as required by his sect of the Muslim faith." The armed forces will have difficulty denying similar privileges not just to the 3,400 Muslims currently serving, but to thousands of other military personnel requesting uniform exemptions for other religious or personal reasons.

Sikhs, who are not Muslims, have a storied history as warriors in the Indian and British armies. They have served in the American military during periods of conscription, such as World War II and Vietnam. In 1967, however, the armed forces adopted regulations establishing uniform grooming and clothing standards for all volunteers. Military men and women may not wear religious head coverings, garments, or jewelry that are inconsistent with uniform appearance.

The armed forces guard individual rights, but they are governed by different rules from civilian organizations. In the 1986 Goldman v. Weinberger case, the Supreme Court upheld military regulations barring Jews from wearing yarmulkes while in uniform. Constitutional rights and freedoms guaranteed to civilians are subordinate to military necessity.

Now the Army is inviting more petitions from individuals seeking specal accommodations on a "case-by-case basis." Having abandoned sound practice without justification, the Army will have no principle on which to stand. These accommodations will erode military culture, fueling doubts about the judgment of leadership and resentment of special treatment for religious minorities. This would be the case even if there were no reports of a Muslim extremist shouting "Allahu Akhbar!" while murdering fellow soldiers at Fort Hood.

The Sikh Coalition issued a report applauding the decision in the case of Captain Kalsi and demanding complete revocation of extant regulations concerning grooming and clothing. It claims that Sikhs have been barred from military service - whereas in fact they can serve if they comply with personal-dress rules applied to persons of all faiths.

Captain Kalsi told Army Times that in 2001 recruiters assured him that he would be able to maintain the uncut hair and turban that are mandatory in his Sikh faith, but he said superiors revoked permission in 2008 when he had completed the scholarship program and was preparing for active duty. Instead of capitulating to Captain Kalsi, General Farrisee should have supported his superiors. The Pentagon also should hold accountable any recruiter who fostered misunderstandings about uniform regulations.

In several interviews following the Fort Hood attack, the Army chief of staff, Gen. George Casey, expressed concern about possible "backlash" against Muslim soldiers. Casey told the Wall Street Journal that it would be an "even greater tragedy if our diversity becomes a casualty here.#...#We have a very diverse society. And that gives us all strength."

That statement makes sense only if the Army maintains professional uniform standards for all, without favoritism, special treatment, or political correctness.

If individuals on active duty may choose their own mode of dress on a "case-by-case basis," why not allow peyote smoking and other controversial religious practices, provided that the entire unit agrees and there is no unit-cohesion problem?

Rights of individual expression and free speech are surely equal to freedom of religion, so Army officials should allow military band members to wear their hair longer than regulation and have cool-looking beards. They should also suspend regulations forbidding loud criticism of the president, if soldiers in a given unit agree, and allow uniformed personnel to wear political messages and run for political office while on duty.

Come to think of it, some soldiers consider it "demeaning" to have to salute superiors, and others want labor unions to press for better living conditions. Absent adherence to sound priorities, the Army will have difficulty avoiding a headlong slide down diversity's slippery slope.

It is wrong to blame innocent co-religionists and other people of faith for the massacre at Fort Hood. The only way to guard against "backlash" is to carefully review all policy exemptions and revoke those that depart from sound principles. Today's military personnel are volunteers. If there is a conflict between religious expression and military discipline, the needs of the military must come first.

"As horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that's worse."

I don't know how the Ottoman or Roman Empires started to go south, but when a nation's intelligentsia become so lost in  mindless constructs, it can't be a good sign. When quantum physicists attempt to translate their measurements and mathematical deductions into everyday language, they produce what appears to be an irreducible paradox which can say of an object- "it is both here and not here"- at the same time. Physicists had a choice to make. They could spend all their time philosophizing about this seeming impossibility, or simply use a probably imperfect model to make predictions. They of course chose observable measurements over hypothetical ruminations and as such we have microchips and Hubble space craft.

We cannot be inside the head of Hasan, or Castro, or Ahmadinejad. We will never know what "really" motivates them. Nor can we be inside the head of our own leaders. If a president cannot deliver a good eulogy, then it truly is all over. Do we actually need to ask "how he did" and be self-congratulatory for vague praise? As irritating as that was, it pales in comparison to the initial "anything except what was observed" interpretation of Hasan's murderous spree.

A Muslim man walks into a room with two pistols shouting "Allahu akbar" and begins killing and wounding people. Wouldn't a reasonable response be "I wonder if there are other Muslims in the military thinking the same thing" or "might this be part of a larger conspiracy?" Instead, the reaction was not to wonder anything at all, but to declare every conceivable counter-factual as the probable cause. Post traumatic stress syndrome, the all-purpose just "snapping," Bob Schieffer's remarkable "Christians do it too" defense, the stress of treating patients, and of course the ever-present Muslim discrimination defense. These are all counter-factual statements. The one "factual" observation was ignored. I believe political correctness is simply repressed bigotry. But that is a topic for another day.

A satisfactory investigation is unlikely to be conducted. Any administration which thinks it's sane to change the term "terror" to "man-made disaster" is itself a man-made disaster. The solution to this problem begins in 2010, when we can start electing new people into office, at least in the Congress.

Listen to Dan Stein's podcast in reaction to Napolitano's remarks

We Fixed Enforcement - Now Give Us Amnesty!

One thing this administration has is a good memory. They remember that the amnesty bill of 2007 was rejected because Americans were not convinced that the borders were secure or that meaningful interior enforcement was taking place. Hoping to convince her audience that things have changed, Napolitano focused on the "serious and strategic" strides she has made on enforcement saying "we have replaced old policies that merely looked tough with policies that are designed to actually be effective." What she fails to mention, however, is that the new "effective" policies she has put into place are systematically dismantling all existing immigration enforcement including, but not limited to, E-Verify, REAL ID, 287(g) and worksite enforcement. Even if enforcement had been improved, using that to justify amnesty is a flawed argument because legalizing 12 million illegal aliens would simply create more incentive for another round of illegal aliens, thus perpetuating an endless cycle of chaos.

The System is Outdated and Broken!

There is also a new effort to paint our current immigration laws as "outdated." Napolitano has begun repeating the phrase "we need 21st century laws," and "we must fix a broken immigration system." The only thing broken about our immigration system is this administration's broken will to enforce the laws.

Beware of attempts to manufacture these deceptive arguments into conventional wisdom. They are hoping to turn the tide in their favor. In Napolitano's own words, "I've been dealing hands-on with immigration issues since 1993, so trust me: I know a major shift when I see one, and what I have seen makes reform far more attainable this time around."

Sorry Secretary Napolitano, but we've watched and reviewed your progress and we don't trust you.

Securing the country is the Department of Homeland Security's mission and the Secretary's responsible. Based on her recent comments, it is clear that Janet Napolitano has become a political pawn for this administration's amnesty agenda rather than the Guardian of the Gate the public has a right to expect her to be.

We have to understand that we are NOT in a "War on Terror" any more than WW2 was a "War on Blitzkreig". You can't be at war with a tactic.

9/11 was no "terror attack". It was an Islamic military attack against the infidel worlds economic, military and political centers. It was designed to collapse the west in four aerial strikes of the "Saifullah" (The Sword of Allah....the same sword that appears on the Saudi flag). It nearly succeeded.

The hard truth is that we are in an ISLAMIC WORLD WAR. Yes....an ISLAMIC WORLD WAR. Let's look at the FACTS:

Islam against the:
- Catholics in the Philippines
- Christians in Indonesia & Malaysia
- Buddhists in Thailand
- Hindus in India
- Zoroastrians in Iran
- Chaldean Christians in Iraq
- Jews in Israel (and everywhere else they live)
- Coptic Christians in Egypt
- animists & Christians in the Sudan
- Jews in Yemen
- Christians in Nigeria
- athiests in Europe
- schoolchildren in Beslan Russia
- train commuters in Spain
- tube commuters in London
- office workers in New York (twice!)
- Defense workers at the Pentagon
- Jewish centers in Buenas Aries, Caracas, Mumbai, Toronto & Seattle
- Christian schoolgirls in Indonesia (beheaded)
- Journalists like Daniel Pearl (beheaded)
- Nicholas Berg, Jack Hensley, Eugene Armstrong, Piotr Stanczak, Kim Sun-Il (beheaded)
- Cinematographers like Theo Van Gogh (slaughtered in broad daylight on the streets of Amsterdam)
- Jews in Saudi Arabia (exterminated by Muhammeds genocide)
- Jews in Yemen (soon to be exterminated after living there for over 2,000 years)
- infidel Korean tourists in Yemen (blown up)
- infidel Australian tourists in Bali (blown up, twice)
- Jewish cafe patrons in Israel(blown up repeatedly)
- women (subjugated, oppressed, beaten, sexually mutilated, honor killed, acid attacked)
- gays (routinely lynched & murdered)

Just a few misguided misunderstanders of Islam hijacking a noble religion of peace? NO.

This started in 622 AD when Muhammed left Mecca for Medina, and began his campaign of terror, slaughter, enslavement, rape, looting and subjugation, and has been burning non-stop ever since. The much maligned "Crusades" should be more appropriately called the "ANTI-CRUSADES", because it was Europe who was being invaded by the marauding Islamic armies first, not the other way around. Ask the Sikhs and Hindus of India about their centuries old fight against Islam. Ever wonder why the great Cathedral of St. Sophia is now a mosque?

This is not us against them, and never has been. This is Dar al-Islam against Dar al-Harb (the 'infidel' world) in an Allah inspired, Qur'an sanctioned, Muhammed mandated 'holy war' of Islamic supremacy.

The ISLAMIC WORLD WAR. Let's start calling it what it really is.
