America Being Attacked By Trojan Horse Of Moderate Islam.

  • Text smaller
  • Text bigger
Retired U.S. Air Force Gen. Tom McInerney, who served as both assistant vice chief of staff and commander in chief of U.S. Air Forces Europe, has surprised interviewers on a radio program by confirming the presence of the Muslim Brotherhood inside the U.S. government.
The Islamic supremacist movement’s influence on Washington was reported in “Impeachable Offenses: The Case to Remove Barack Obama from Office” by New York Times bestselling authors Aaron Klein and Brenda J. Elliott.
The book documents that Obama aided the rise to power of Islamic extremist groups in the Middle East as members served on important national security advisory boards.
The book confirms the Obama administration may have exposed national security information through Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, who has deep personal and family associations with the Muslim Brotherhood.
Another key figure with Muslim Brotherhood ties is Mohamed Elibiary, a member of the Department of Homeland Security’s Advisory Council.
McInerney was being interviewed Thursday by WMAL in Washington about a tell-all book by former Defense Secretary Robert Gates that strongly criticizes President Obama and Vice President Biden for making politically motivated decisions regarding national security.
McInerney said Gates was doing the nation a service by exposing decision-making in the Oval Office but said he should have done it sooner. He also noted that the Muslim Brotherhood influences have been causing major problems throughout the Middle East.
Then he added, “We’ve got Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S. government today.”
Asked by the talk-show hosts for their names, he said, “I haven’t got their names exactly but there’s a list of them, at least 10 or 15 of them in the U.S. government.”
He cited the organization’s influence in Homeland Security and the secretary of state’s office under Clinton, where Abedin has worked.
“Her parents are Muslim Brotherhood. And her intuitions are in that direction,” he said.
“There are a whole host of people in this government.”
He said Islam experts Frank Gaffney or Claire Lopez would have the details.
Gaffney, president of the Center for Security Policy, has created a publication called “The Muslim Brotherhood in the Obama Administration,” which addresses the issue that was brought to the attention of Congress in July 2012 by Republican Reps. Michele Bachmann, Trent Franks, Louie Gohmert, Tom Rooney and Lynn Westmoreland.
The lawmakers asked the inspector generals at the departments of Homeland Security, Justice and State to investigate, prompting Democrats and Republicans to rush to Abedin’s defense.
However, as WND reported, Abedin worked for an organization founded by her family that is effectively at the forefront of a grand Saudi plan to mobilize U.S. Muslim minorities to transform America into a strict Wahhabi-style Islamic state, according to an Arabic-language manifesto issued by the Saudi monarchy. Abedin also was a member of the executive board of the Muslim Student Association, which was identified as a Muslim Brotherhood front group in a 1991 document introduced into evidence during the terror-financing trial of the Texas-based Holy Land Foundation trial.
The internal memo said Muslim Brotherhood members “must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and by the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”
Lopez, a CSP senior fellow, wrote at The Gatestone Institute: “The careful insinuation of Muslim Brothers into positions from which they can exercise influence on U.S. policy began long before the attacks of 9/11, although their success has accelerated dramatically under the administration of President Barack Obama.”
She said the “massive Muslim Brotherhood organization network in the U.S., so patiently built up over the decades since that first Oval Office meeting in 1953 [with President Dwight D. Eisenhower], eventually gave it a prominence and (false) reputation of credibility that was unmatched by any other Islamic groups, moderate or otherwise.”
She said the Brotherhood achieved “information dominance” during the George W. Bush administration that only intensified in the following years.
“Not only did figures associated and identified with the Muslim Brotherhood achieve broad penetration at senior levels of U.S. policy making, but voices that warned of their true agenda (such as Stephen Coughlin’s) were actively excluded,” she said.
That information dominance has contributed to startling consequences, most evident in the U.S. policy toward the al-Qaida and Muslim Brotherhood-dominated revolutions that many call the ‘Arab Spring,’ but which in fact are more accurately termed an ‘Islamic Awakening,’” she said.
Under the Muslim Brotherhood-influenced Obama administration, U.S. policy has undergone such a drastic shift in the direction of outright support for these jihadist movements – from al-Qaida militias in Libya, to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and both al-Qaida and Muslim Brotherhood-linked rebels in Syria — that it is scarcely recognizable as American anymore.”
See Gaffney discussing the issue with Glenn Beck:
In the WMAL interview, McInerney said Gates’ book should alert Americans about what should be done to protect national security.
“The Middle East is coming apart with this administration’s policies. Look at Libya. We should never have gone into Libya. … We’ve got Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S. government.”
WND columnist Diana West wrote it likely wasn’t by chance that Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, “reading from prepared notes, absurdly described the Muslim Brotherhood to the House Intelligence Committee last year as a ‘largely secular’ organization.”
“Is it an accident that in June the State Department issued a visa to Hani Nour Eldin of Egypt to meet with senior White House officials? Eldin is a member of Gama’a al-Islamiyya, a terrorist organization once led by Omar Abdel Rahman, ‘the blind sheikh’ convicted of the first attack on the World Trade Center. In the person of Rahman’s successor, Refai Ahmed Taha, the group is one of the five signatories of Osama bin Laden’s February 1998 ‘World Islamic Front Statement Urging Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders.’ Isn’t it imperative to review the policy mechanism that permitted a member of bin Laden’s jihad front into the White House?”
“Impeachable Offenses” also reported that then-CIA director John Brennan announced the Obama administration was calibrating policies in the fight against terrorism to ensure Americans are never “profiled.”
His speech was arranged by a Muslim Brotherhood-tied group that has deep relations not only with other Brotherhood fronts but to the White House and national security agencies.
Brennan’s NYU session was organized by the Islamic Society of North America, or ISNA. ISNA, whose members asked Brennan scores of questions during the event, stated the meeting was intended to initiate a “dialogue between government officials and Muslim American leaders to explore issues of national security.”
ISNA was founded in 1981 by the Saudi-funded Muslim Students Association, which itself was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood. The two groups are still partners.
ISNA is known for its promotion of strict Saudi-style Islam in mosques throughout the U.S.
Islam scholar Stephen Schwartz describes ISNA as “one of the chief conduits through which the radical Saudi form of Islam passes into the United States.”
According to terrorism expert Steven Emerson, ISNA “is a radical group hiding under a false veneer of moderation.”

Those In Glass Houses Should Not Throw Rocks. Duck Dynasty Controversy Shows The Intolerance Of GLAAD

  • Text smaller
  • Text bigger
The organization that complained to the Arts & Entertainment Network about Duck Commander Phil Robertson’s reciting of the Bible’s perspective on homosexuality now is being accused of having an “irrational phobia” against critics of its agenda.
After publication of an interview with GQ magazine last week, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, GLAAD, demanded Robertson be removed from the top-rated “Duck Dynasty” television show, and A&E complied.
But now the same charges GLAAD leveled against Robertson are being turned back on GLAAD by the group Parents and Friends of ExGays and Gays, or PFOX.
PFOX supports family members, advocates for the ex-”gay” community and educates the public on sexual-orientation issues.
“Now that GLAAD has successfully pushed cable network A&E to suspend Phil Robertson from his popular reality TV show, GLAAD is demanding that Mr. Robertson ‘sit down with gay families in Louisiana and learn about their lives and the values they share.’ PFOX asks that GLAAD do the same and sit down with members of the ex-gay community,” the organization explained.
“For too long, gay groups like GLAAD have used their political power and Hollywood influence to censor positive portrayals of former homosexuals. This irrational phobia of those who have overcome unwanted same-sex attractions perpetuates misunderstanding and harm against the ex-gay community,” PFOX said.
“It also demonstrates a disregard for diversity and a refusal to respect a basic human right to dignity and self-determination.”
In the GQ interview, Robertson said: “Everything is blurred on what’s right and what’s wrong. … Sin becomes fine. Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men.”
Paraphrasing Corinthians, he said: “Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers – they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.”
PFOX said every person “seeking positive life change toward healthy sexuality needs the love and support of friends, family, the community, and places of worship.”
“Thousands of real people have changed their lives and have real stories to tell. Everyone who cares about fairness and equality deserves to hear our ex-gay stories of hope. PFOX advocates for every person’s right to know the truth that life change is possible for those who seek change.”
The organization, which recently asked the federal government to investigate a school superintendent who publicly denounced the community of former homosexuals, explained its position in a website statement.
PFOX said groups like Human Rights Campaign and GLAAD “demand punishment for people like Phil Robertson who do not agree with homosexual behavior, yet these same gay activist groups work to deny the civil rights of former homosexuals because they disagree with their sexual choices.”
WND has reported that despite the controversy, in which hundreds of thousands of “Duck Dynasty” fans have demanded Robertson’s suspension be lifted, the show is scheduled to resume airing Jan. 15.
According to Entertainment Weekly, sources close to the show report nine of the 10 remaining episodes of season four have already been shot, and the network has no plans to cut out the footage featuring the senior Robertson.
The source also reported the network hopes media and fan furor will cool down over the holidays and plans for shooting future episodes can be resolved.
Robertson, however, has said he has no plans to “cool down” his commitment to speaking out on the topic of sin.
“I will not give or back off from my path,” Robertson told his Bible study group over the weekend.
On Sunday, at a small Bible study group Robertson led in his church in West Monroe, La., London’s Daily Mail was on hand to hear how he would follow up his comments.
“I am just reading what was written over 2,000 years ago,” Robertson said. “Those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom. All I did was quote from the Scriptures, but they just didn’t know it. Whether I said it, or they read it, what’s the difference? The sins are the same, humans haven’t changed.
“If you give them the bad news, they’ll start kicking and screaming,” he continued. “But you love them more than you fear them, so you tell them.”
WND reported PFOX asked the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division to investigate Montgomery County, Md., school Superintendent Joshua Starr for bigoted statements against a minority group that he has criticized as being “really, really disgusting.”
The issue is Starr’s intolerance of members of the ex-”gay” community, according to a complaint, a copy of which was posted online.
His bigotry and actions are “reminiscent of the 1950s Jim Crow South when public pools and other public areas were closed rather than allow the participation of African-Americans, a disfavored minority group,” the complaint says. “Today it is the ex-gay community that is the unpopular minority group.”
The accusation came after the superintendent shut down an entire system that allowed community groups to provide information to district students so that PFOX would lose the same access to the students that other groups had.
The request is for an investigation and oversight of “a remedial program to ensure diversity and non-discrimination against ex-gays.”
“Starr misused his official position as school superintendent to gain access to students and indoctrinate them with his prejudicial bias against the ex-gay community,” said Regina Griggs, executive director of PFOX. “The Department of Justice has investigated complaints against schools for discriminating against transgenders – those who have changed their gender identity. The ex-gay community – those who have changed their sexual orientation – asks for equal treatment from our federal government.”

CFLs Are Dangerous. Incandescent Bulbs Gone In January. What's A Guy To Do?

  • Text smaller
  • Text bigger
Not even the full power of the feared federal government can quash the ingenuity and free enterprise that runs through the veins of American entrepreneurs.
Take, for example, the national ban on incandescent light bulbs in favor of low-energy units. Seventy-five watt and higher incandescent bulbs dropped off store shelves a year ago, and the popular 40s and 60s will disappear Jan. 1.
A New Jersey company owner already has ramped up production of a new product, called a “Newcandescent,” which is available now in many voltages, including 75 watt and 100 watt.
Larry Birnbaum, owner of the Light Bulb Store in South Hackensack, says the new low-energy requirements for bulbs means something had to change. Consumers would have to move to other light sources, compact fluorescents or LEDS, which he sells, he said.
Or, he could start marketing an incandescent bulb that apparently is exempt from the new energy rules: the “rough service” bulb.
Normally a small portion of the market, the “rough service” bulbs are made for less-stable conditions, such as in a moving vehicle.
But he told New Jersey.com that he made a few changes to the typical “rough” incandescent to meet new federal standards, “including using krypton gas to make it last 10 times longer.”
His website offers them in sizes ranging from 25 watts and up. One hundred, 200 and 300 watts are no problem. Frosted and clear. In flood and globe sizes.
He sells the “60-Watt Rough Service A-19 Frosted Bulb” for $2.88 for four. It operates at 130 volts and “is proudly made in the U.S.A. and fulfills all US Department of Energy regulations. The average lifespan of a Newcandescent 60-watt bulb, the site says, is seven years, or 10,000 hours.
The Newcandescents are not as energy-efficient as some alternatives, but they provide a more natural light that consumers have grown accustomed to over the years.
It is true that the traditional bulbs are going away due to a 2007 law that requires, as of Jan. 1, a 40 watt bulb to draw just 10.5 watts of electricity and a 60 watt bulb to draw just 11 watts.
Those levels are achieved more readily with alternative products, such as compact fluorescent bulbs, experts say.
The law makes it illegal to import or make such bulbs starting Jan. 1. Home Depot spokesman Mark Voykovic told Fox News his chain anticipates running out of their stock of 40-watt to 60- watt bulbs six months into 2014.
The issue for some people is that CFLs emit a pale blue (5,000-6,500 Kelvin) or whiter (3,500-4,100K) light. It doesn’t match the familiar glow of an incandescent light bulb (2,700-3,000K).
Decorator Bunny Williams told the New York Times in 2011 she had been hoarding traditional bulbs for years.
Another problem with CFLs is their price, several dollars per bulb. LEDs are sold in the range of $12 or $13 per bulb.
Birnbaum said he plans to start shipping the alternative bulbs in January for about $1.65 each.
WND previously has reported concerns about the safety of compact fluorescents, which contain mercury. The 2007 law also didn’t address issues raised by a study in the United Kingdom that concluded CFLs “are a fire hazard that could burn down your home.”
In Congress, Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., has proposed overturning the ban unless it could be shown that CFLs do not present a safety risk.
WND reported a team of some 15 members of the U.S. House, including Bachmann, introduced H.R. 91 to repeal parts of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, which has been described as a “de facto ban” on the incandescent light bulb.
At the time, Bachmann said: “The government has no business telling an individual what kind of light bulb to buy. In 2007, Congress overstepped its bounds by mandating that only ‘energy efficient’ light bulbs may be sold after Jan. 1, 2012. This mandate has sweeping effects on American families and businesses and needs serious consideration before taking effect.”
Phyllis Schlafly, founder and president of Eagle Forum, said the government was stepping into the ludicrous with its ban.
“CFLs are so toxic because of the mercury in the glass tubing that the cleanup procedure spelled out by the Environmental Protection Agency is downright scary. The EPA warns that if we break a CFL, we must take the pieces to a recycling center and not launder ‘clothing or bedding because mercury fragments in the clothing may contaminate the machine and/or pollute sewage,’” she wrote at the time the ban began.
“CFLs must be rather dangerous if they will pollute the sewage,” she said.
Members of Congress have noted CFL drawbacks:
  • Most CFLs are not manufactured in the United States. A Washington Post story reported that GE is shuttering a plant in Winchester, Va., killing 200 jobs in the process.
  • CFLs contain mercury and have to be disposed of carefully. The amount of mercury in one bulb is enough to contaminate up to 6,000 gallons of water beyond safe drinking levels. The EPA recommends an elaborate cleanup ritual, including throwing away any clothes or bedding that has come in direct contact with the mercury from the bulb.
  • CFLs are not designed to be turned off and on frequently; the lifespan of a CFL may be reduced by up to 85 percent if it’s switch off and on a lot.
  • People with certain health conditions can be harmed by CFLs. Reactions range from disabling eczema-like reactions to light sensitivities that can lead to skin cancer.
  • And the Energy Star program warns that CFLs can overheat and smoke.

Obama's Terrorists--Not The Traditional Ones


Share This Post

http://israel-commentary.org/?p=6853
The entire issue of the June 2013 Whistleblower Magazine is devoted to Obama’s war on Christians.
(A must-read for people of all religions and political persuasions. The following article is just the tip of the iceberg of how American civil liberties are going right down the tube under the present administration.)
UNDER OBAMA, CHRISTIANS AND CONSERVATIVES ARE ‘EXTREMISTS’
Opponents of abortion, same-sex marriage, illegal immigration singled out as dangerous
By Bob Unruh
BARACK Obama had been in the Oval Office only a few weeks when his administrations first overt attack on traditional values conservatives was unleashed — a highly controversial report from the Department of Homeland Security titled “Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment.”
Noting that many Americans were upset with the federal government for contributing to a major economic slump, the report pin-pointed those most likely to descend into radicalism and violence, even terrorism — namely,”Groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.”
That’s right — Not Islamic jihadists, but conservatives, patriots and Christians.
Proposed imposition of firearms restrictions and weapons bans likely would attract new members into the ranks of right-wing extremist groups as well as potentially spur some of them to begin planning and training for violence against the government the report warned. “The high volume of purchases and stockpiling of weapons and ammunition by right-wing extremists in anticipation of restrictions and bans in some parts of the country continue to be a primary concern to law enforcement.”
US War Veterans a major danger to us as far as Obama is concerned!
Among the most dangerous people, said the Homeland Security report, were those members of the United States military who had defended American interests in conflicts abroad and had recently returned home. “Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to right-wing extremists. DHS … is concerned that right-wing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize veterans in order to boost their violent capacities,” the report said.
It went on to accuse those objecting to Obama’s unprecedented federal spending free-for-all of being racist, and further warned that, ‘end times’ prophecies could motivate extremist individuals and groups to stockpile food, ammunition and weapons.”
Dated April 7, 2009, the document was made public only days after a similar report blasted out by the chief of the Missouri Highway Patrol, compiled with the help of Department of Home Security (DHS), linked conservative groups to domestic terrorism. Specifically, it warned about people who might have pro-life bumper stickers, or those expressing support for third-party political candidates.
It didn’t take long to see the results. Within a month of the report, authorities in Louisiana stopped a driver and detained him for having a “Don’t Tread on Me” bumper sticker on his vehicle. Officers warned him about the “subversive” message it conveyed. “Don’t Tread on Me” is a traditional American symbol from the Revolutionary War period. The situation developed in the small town of Ball, La., where a receptionist at the police department told Whistleblower she knew nothing about the traffic stop, during which the “suspect” was investigated for “extremist” activities, according to a relative.
As the American Vision blog reported: “‘Liberals’ and other leftists have been calling defenders of traditional American, limited constitutional government, free enterprise, and individual liberty extremists’ since at least the 1964 election. Small town police misled by phony left-wing ‘reports’ are bad enough. Federal government agencies and their armed agents under the direction of leftist radicals are exponentially worse.”
The original DHS report, issued under Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, resulted in at least one lawsuit. Richard Thompson, president and chief counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, said it was alarming that Napolitano never retracted the accusations or apologized to those identified in the report as possible terror dangers.
Thompson noted that the report also targeted as “potential terrorists” Americans who oppose abortion, same-sex marriage, restrictions on firearms, lax immigration laws and policies of President Obama regarding immigration, citizenship and the expansion of social programs, as well as those who oppose continuation of free trade agreements, are suspicious of foreign regimes, fear communist dictatorships and oppose a “one world” government.
It turns out the basis for the inflammatory DHS report was primarily online chat. According to data gleaned by Americans for Limited Government through a Freedom of Information Act request, one of the government report’s sources was “a frighteningly kooky website” that included a story about a scientist destroying a radio to God. Another suspect source was the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization which later was itself tied to domestic terrorism (in an imaginative interpretation of the law).
Since then, the Obama administrations attacks on conservatives and Christians have just continued to grow.
Among the many developments:
• The U.S. Census Bureau banned from its list of “partners” those groups that oppose lax immigration standards
• A tea party member who was writing letters to his elected representatives in opposition to massive government spending under Obama’s leadership reported he was investigated as a terrorist by the Joint Terrorism Task Force of the FBI!
• Blogger Dennis Loo at Salon.com revealed that the Department of Defense taught in a seminar that “certain First Amendment-protected activity may amount to lower level terrorism.” The details were cited from an ACLU letter highlighting controversial DoD information disseminated in seminars. For example, DoD’s “Annual Level 1 Antiterrorism Awareness Training for 2009″ asked which was “an example of low-level terrorism?” The correct answer was “protests.”
• A lawsuit took issue with the Veterans Administration practice of placing any veteran seeking help with managing financial benefits and provisions designated for a disability on the nations registry of those not permitted to possess firearms.
• Shortly after Obama called for a “national civilian security force” that would be as big and well-funded as the U.S. military, a report from the Rand Corp. recommended using the U.S. Marshals Service to create a “Stability Police Force” inside the United States
• A Christian blogger who was forced to flee Brazil because of the conflict between that nations pro-homosexual “hate crimes” agenda and his advocacy for traditional marriage detected surveillance from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on his site. Julio Severo’s, Last Days Watchman blog revealed it saw monitors from the DHS.gov location observing the site.
• A Colorado-based center that coordinated investigative efforts confirmed that federal agents distributed brochures to farm supply stores, gun shops and others warning that, “potential indicators” of terrorism included “paying with cash” or making “extreme religious statements.” Also buying “Meals Ready to Eat” or “night flashlights” made a person a suspect.
• In 2012, a congressional investigation revealed that the nations many anti-terrorism “fusion centers,” set up by the federal government to join local, state and federal investigations, probably have violated Americans’ privacy, issued reports that were outdated by the time they were released and wasted tax money by giving away SUVs.
• A West Point study released early this year, titled “Challenges from the Sidelines: Understanding America’s Violent Far-Right,” links pro-life leaders to terrorism. Author Arie Perliger wrote, “The anti-abortionists have been extremely productive during the last two decades, amassing 227 attacks, many of them perpetrated without the responsible perpetrators identified or caught.”
• The inspector general for the Department of Justice admitted in a report that the Civil Rights Division of one of the most powerful organizations in the federal government displayed a widespread hostility to protecting the civil rights of whites!
• Members of Congress this year were astonished that the U.S. Army Reserve would use a training brief that slams Catholics, evangelical Christians and others. The training seminar taught soldiers that evangelical Christians are an extremist threat to America along with groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood, the Ku Klux Klan and al-Qaida. The anti-Christian training seminar issue came to the attention of authorities when one Christian serviceman objected to the presentation.
