Obama’s frightful ties to the Muslim Brotherhood

Porous border emphasizes vulnerability

The Blaze exposes how radical Islamists, including the Muslim Brotherhood, are infiltrating American government at its highest levels. Groups including Hamas, Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood, are gaining a foothold in America.

Read this overview of each of the radical Islamists who have found their place — in some manner, shape or form — at the Obama administration’s table.

The Foundry reports the Obama administration has essentially declared the war on terror over. Many will recall that within weeks of his election Obama began courting the Muslim community and curtailing language in the process, as the “war on terror’ morphed into a “twilight struggle.”

Conservative U.S. Rep. Allen West (R-FL) has been outspoken on the subject of the Muslim Brotherhood and other extremist groups influencing U.S. strategy.

We have previously reported that Hezbollah has found a niche in Mexican border towns.  San Diego’s 10News ran this shocking coverage and accompanying video nearly a year ago.

Even the liberal Los Angeles Times surprised with this editorial taking the Obama White House to task for what the newspaper calls “An implausible plan to fight terrorism through community outreach.”

Over a decade ago, WND reported in an article titled Arab terrorists crossing border, that there has been a “tremendous increase in OTM’s (border lingo for Other Than Mexicans). Illegals from the former Soviet Union, Asia, and the Middle East are joining the flood of Mexicans, Central and South Americans — all slipping in through our incredibly accessible and porous Southern border. Apprehensions have included illegals from the Sudan, Iran, and even Iraq.”

Cardon v. Flake: Stark differences on illegal immigration

Critical issue begs for action

This is the responsible position held by AZ U.S. Senate Candidate Wil Cardon:  

This is amnesty supporter Jeff Flake: 

Seeing Red AZ has written numerous posts on the duplicitous Jeff Flake, even dedicating an entire category to him which can be accessed on the right-hand side of the page. For an overview, check out the links in this post titled, Career politician Jeff Flake exposed.

Jeff Flake has allowed our border to go unprotected and our illegal immigration issues unresolved for over a decade. As a result, Arizona’s 370-mile stretch has become a source of real and present danger to our state and our nation.

Jeff Flake and his pro-amnesty, pro-illegal immigrant friends in Washington (read last four paragraphs to see how Jeff Flake is helping “turn more red states blue.”) have failed miserably when it comes to securing our nation’s border — threatening our safety, our quality of life and  economic opportunities for hardworking American citizens.

We have a real choice. Please do your part to insure the rule of law is enforced. Jon Kyl, who is retiring from the U.S. Senate, has been in Washington since 1987 — since he was 45 years old. Jeff Flake has been in Congress since he was 39. It could be decades before we get another opportunity and by then the irreversible damage will have been done.

AZ República spins for Mexico, ignores facts

Another bizarre editorial in this morning’s newspaper. This one, filled with cutesy colloquialisms is titled “Arizona missing out on rewards.” It begins: “For cryin’ out loud, people. This should never have happened. It could have been Arizona. But no. Texas gets the attaboys for cashing in on the benefits of a shared international border. And we do mean benefits.”

Arizona is accused of getting “sidetracked” making news “for being tough on” illegal aliens,* “while Texas was rustlin’ up some business. And we do mean business,” states the editorialist who sounds suspiciously like Linda Valdez, Mexico’s lead cheerleader drawing a paycheck at the Periódico de la República de Arizona (Arizona Republic).

“Arizona could write a primer on what not to do,” we are told.

Some pertinent facts are missing as Arizona is scolded for not engaging in more trade with our not-so-neighborly neighbor to the south.

Facts: Organized crime-related deaths in the Mexican state of Chihuahua during the first nine months of 2011 exceeded the number of Afghan civilians killed in roughly the same period in all of war-torn Afghanistan. Chihuahua borders Texas and New Mexico. The Mexican government acknowledged from January through September last year, 2,276 deaths were recorded in Chihuahua.

Again comparing the Mexican and Afghanistan figures, 11,007 Afghan civilians were killed from 2007 through October 2011. That is about 80 percent fewer deaths than the 47,515 drug-related murders in Mexico over roughly the same period  — numbers substantiated by the U.S. Department of State in its tactfully worded, yet still alarming travel warning for Mexico. Begin under the heading “General Conditions.” Read carefully our government’s alert stating U.S. citizens have fallen victim to Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCO) activity, including homicide, gun battles, kidnapping, carjacking and highway robbery.

There were more organized crime-related killings in Chihuahua than in any other Mexican state, according to the government figures. Chihuahua, the largest state in Mexico, includes Ciudad Juarez, a border city located across from El Paso, Texas. It is the deadliest city in Mexico and is considered one of the most dangerous places in the entire world.

Although eight decapitated bodies were recently found in the Mexican border state of Tamaulipas, the Republic’s editorial ends with, “Time’s awastin’ people.”  It should more accurately read, “Mexico’s wasting people.”

*The daily refuses to use the term “illegal aliens,” instead calling the illegal invaders (watch shocking embedded video) “immigrants.” True immigrants come legally and unreservedly become proud, acclimated U.S. citizens.  Our popular glossary offers a valuable assist in deciphering the local newspaper’s terminology.

Money well spent?

The Obama’s 13-year-old daughter Malia is taking a spring break respite from the tough life in the White House, cooling her heels this week in Mexico.

Although the country is on the U.S. Department of State’s website as among the most dangerous on the planet her parents felt secure in allowing their young daughter to travel. Never mind that Mexico is on the same list with Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sudan. Iraq, Libya and Somalia and her father‘s own federal offices tell Americans to “delay non-essential travel“ to the country. The list was updated last month.

But why worry? Malia and her entourage of school friends are well protected — guarded by a team of 25 taxpayer-funded U.S. Secret Service agents, as well as Mexican police.

Doesn’t that knowledge warm your cockles?

Islamic repression, bigotry, hatred: Out in the open

Weekend reading guaranteed to make you smarter

This Washington Times editorial titled “Destroy all churches – Obama silent while Saudi grand mufti targets Christianity” –  is ideal Sunday reading.

It concludes with these words: “Mr. Obama’s outreach campaign to the Muslim world has failed to generate the good will that he expected. In part, this was because he felt it was better to pander to prejudice than to command respect. When members of the Islamic establishment call for the religious equivalent of ethnic cleansing, the leader of the free world must respond or risk legitimizing the oppression that follows. The United States should not bow to the extremist dictates of the grand mufti, no matter how desperate the White House is for him to like us.”

Dr. Zuhdi Jasser: “We thank the NYPD for monitoring extremists”

Phoenix physician M. Zuhdi Jasser, M.D., president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD), appeared on Fox and Friends recently to discuss the support from “a silent majority” of Muslim Americans for security measures such as the NYPD surveillance program, in an effort to combat terrorism.

“For too long, the NYPD has come under a systematic and coordinated assault by highly-politicized Islamist organizations like the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Students’ Association (MSA) and their enablers, intent on dismantling the NYPD’s programs,” Jasser states. “These groups would prefer to see American Muslims shackled to a collective mindset of victimization, rather than live up to our Muslim responsibility of reforming the radicalizing nature of Islamist ideas.”

“In fact,” he says, “our anti-Islamist Muslims are often the primary targets of radical groups. As a silent majority of American Muslims, we thank God every day for the NYPD.”

The issue has been given biased coverage in this New York Times editorial and in this report in USAToday.  

Jasser told Fox News over the weekend that the coverage of the issue has been one-sided — only acknowledging Muslims who criticize the NYPD. The AIFD founder said the program is not anti-Muslim but rather “good police work.”

Dr. Jasser added that the incomplete media coverage “feeds into radicalization, and feeds into the al-Qaeda narrative.”  He said he is “not surprised that the issue damaged relations with the Council on American-Islamic Relations and other apologists for Islamism. Remember this is an ideology that is political, but it uses religion as a cover,” he said. “Some of these groups are part of that theo-political movement.”

“I think its time for America to realize that we’re not a monolithic community,” Jasser continued. “They can‘t speak about us as ’all Muslims are offended.’”

He is the narrator of the shocking video “The Third Jihad,” a documentary about the dangers of radical Islam. Take time to watch it.

“We are not here to criticize the NYPD but rather thank them for monitoring extremists, a job that Muslims should be doing,” said Dr. Jasser, a featured speaker at the downtown Manhattan rally.

Car jack used to breach AZ border fence

 A sobering reminder of our vulnerability

In this shocking video taken along the Arizona border, a group of Mexican drug smugglers use a simple car jack to lift open a portion of the border fence and deliver hundreds of pounds of illegal drugs onto American streets.

With no border patrol agents in the surrounding area, the smugglers were able to make their way into the U.S. completely undetected. So much for the “border being more secure now than it’s ever been,” as Department of Homeland INsecurity chieftain Janet Napolitano persistently boasts.

It is inconceivable that illegal aliens smuggling drugs or terror suspects intent on doing harm to our country are able to use an automotive jack to break open our border fence faster than ICE can set free “non-violent” illegal aliens.

This “fence” would be a joke if not such a serious a threat. Can the fence in your backyard be raised using an automotive jack? The fence surrounding the yard of an average American’s home is more effective than the fence protecting our nation’s southern border from terror suspects and illegal aliens flooding our neighborhoods with illicit drugs.

This U.S. Government Accountability Office report to Congress warns of an “ever-present threat of terrorist infiltration over the Southwest border.”

Chelsea Schilling writing for WND provides a chilling account of the numerous ‘Special-interest countries’ and ‘sponsors of terror’ including Afghanistan, Iran, Egypt, Pakistan, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, whose nationals make their way into the U.S. through the porous border that remains unsecured under the Obama administration.

Mayors’ confab reunites old pals: Obama, Napolitano, Stanton

Republican Mesa Mayor Smith exemplifies strange bedfellow for Obama

Three Arizona mayors — Phoenix’s newly elected Democrat Greg Stanton, Tucson’s Democrat Mayor Jonathan Rothschild and Mesa’s Republican Mayor Scott Smith used the opportunity presented by the National Mayor’s Conference in Washington D.C.  to meet with Barack Obama.

Although over 250 attending mayors were invited to the White House, the daily reports that less than a dozen “were pulled aside to meet with the president in a more intimate setting.”

“He indicated that Arizona is important to this administration,”Stanton said of Obama, who will make his fifth visit as president to Arizona on Wednesday.

In mid-November when union supported liberal Greg Stanton was elected, he was welcomed to the political fold with phone calls from Barack Obama and Homeland Insecurity chieftain Janet Napolitano.

At the time, a giddy Stanton was quoted as saying that Obama told him Arizona is an important state to the White House and that he (Obama) looked forward to having a good relationship with (Stanton) as we deal with issues in the state and western United States. Stanton responded by telling Obama “I look forward to having a good working relationship with you, and the White House and our congressional delegation.”

Only the delusional would think he meant the entire delegation.

Smith, who claims to support fiscal discipline and reducing the size of government, still has his hand out for federal dollars, saying he believes Congress is making too many “dumb cuts.” The articulate Smith said “Dumb cuts are cuts that don’t fix our roads and bridges but simply defer those costs until the situation gets worse and it costs taxpayers even more money to repair. Meanwhile, we’ve missed out on opportunities to create jobs.”

The trio lobbied Napolitano and her minions for federal funding for cities to protect citizens from terrorist threats. We doubt that much was said about the flood of illegal aliens — from Mexico, South and Central America and numerous terror-sponsoring nations, who routinely enter our country through Arizona’s porous southern border. Does anyone think a fence was mentioned? Or Obama’s snide idea of a moat? 

The band of Obamists did not include Republican Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord and registered Independent Mayor Sharon Wolcott — at the helm of the city of Surprise for just 2 weeks — who also attended the 80th winter meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors.

Obama uses honor system to secure border

Work on unmanned passageway already underway

Fox News reports on the Obama administration’s disturbing scheme to supplant U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents with National Park Service employees at the Big Bend National Park in West Texas. “Improved conservation efforts” take precedence over bloody border drug wars and illegal traffic flooding into the United States, as Obama approves this unmanned border entry with Mexico.

Kiosks are expected to be in place by spring which will allow Mexican nationals and others desiring unfettered access into our country, to scan their identity documents and talk to a customs officer in another location — at least 100 miles away. As CIS reports, there is already a massive business in forged, stolen and counterfeit identification that aids illegal traffic.  Look for this foolish risk-taking on the part of our own government to intensify it.

Congressman Michael McCaul, (R-TX CD10) is a member of the House Homeland Security committee. He has strong credentials in this arena, having previously served as Chief of Counter Terrorism and National Security in the U.S. Attorney’s office in Texas, and led the Joint Terrorism Task Force charged with detecting, deterring and preventing terrorist activity.

U. S. Rep. McCaul questioned the wisdom of using taxpayer paid, federal funds to expand access to unauthorized border crossers.

“We need to use our resources to secure the border rather than making it easier to enter in locations where we already have problems with illegal crossings,” McCaul said. “There is more to the oversight of legal entry than checking documents. U.S. Customs and Border Protection needs to be physically present at every point of entry in order to inspect for contraband, detect suspicious behavior and, if necessary, act on what they encounter.”

McCaul’s background also includes service as Texas Deputy Attorney General and as a federal prosecutor in the Department of Justice’s Public Integrity Section in Washington, D.C.

News reports state a “public comment” period cuts off December 27, although there is no link to any such site.  The estimated $2.3 million project has support at the highest levels of government from both Barack Obama and Mexican President Felipe Calderon.

What a surprise.
