Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Fort Hood jihad mass murderer writes “A Warning To Pope Francis, Members Of The Vatican, And Other Religious Leaders Around the World”

Oct 9, 2014 7:51 pm By Robert Spencer

Nidal HasanWill the Pope write him back and explain how “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence”?

“Fort Hood shooter sends letter to Pope Francis espousing ‘jihad,’” by Catherine Herridge, Fox News, October 9, 2014:

EXCLUSIVE: Convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan has written to Pope Francis espousing “jihad,” in his latest correspondence aligning himself with radical Islam.

Despite efforts by the Defense Department to label the 2009 massacre as “workplace violence,” Hasan has described himself several times, and again in the new letter, using the acronym “SoA,” or “Soldier of Allah.”

Hasan directed his attorney John Galligan to mail the undated, six-page, hand-written letter to the pope. A copy of the letter – titled, “A Warning To Pope Francis, Members Of The Vatican, And Other Religious Leaders Around the World” – was provided by the attorney to Fox News.

Hasan appears to make multiple references to the Koran in the letter, and includes a bulleted list of guidelines for “believers.”

In one subsection titled “Jihad,” Hasan praises “The willingness to fight for All-Mighty Allah,” describing it as a test that elevates the “mujahadeen” who “are encouraged to inspire the believers.” He states that “fighters … have a greater rank in the eyes of Allah than believers who don’t fight.”

“Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward.” (Qur’an 4:95)

There is no reference in the letter to the Fort Hood massacre for which Hasan was convicted on 13 counts of premeditated murder, and 31 counts of attempted murder, but no terrorism charges. Hasan currently is on death row at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas.

In late August — as part of ongoing reporting on homegrown terrorism, which included a special investigation into Fort Hood — Fox News obtained a separate Hasan letter where he pledged his allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS) and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Asked to comment on the latest letter, Hasan’s attorney said it “underscores how much of his life, actions and mental thought process are driven by religious zeal. And it also reinforces my belief that the military judge committed reversible error by prohibiting Major Hasan from both testifying and arguing how his religious beliefs” motivated his actions during the shooting.

Neal Sher, an attorney representing the Fort Hood families and their relatives, also said Hasan is “thoroughly dedicated to jihad.” The lawsuit against the Defense Department and Justice Department now involves 150 individuals.

“His jihadist leanings and willingness to commit jihad were known for years before the 2009 atrocity,” Sher said. “And ever since then, he has made it abundantly clear he believes in jihad and has attempted to justify the slaughter that took place at Fort Hood.”…

    Recurrent topic here at JW : how aware Pope Francis is of Islam’s true goal, and whether he deliberately keeps that a secret — thereby reducing the danger of FFM’s (Fully Faithful Muslims) — like ISIS — killing even more Christians than it already does.

      OFF-TOPIC:

      Look what Reza Aslan wrote as a reply to Bill Maher, he even uses christian Verses of the bible to refute Mahers claims on Islam:

        Oct 10, 2014 at 7:30 am

        Thanks for the link, Ben.

        Like a typical Muslim apologist, Aslan removes the “mischief” exception from 5:32, to make the verse look peaceful. He’s lying, exactly as Harris accused him of lying.

        Aslan argues again that religious texts mean whatever believers want: Peaceful people will select peaceful verses, violent people will select the violent verses. To illustrate his point, Aslan (without telling the reader) removes the “except for mischief/corruption in the land” exception from 5:32 (killing one person would be like killing all people), to make it look like it contrasts with 9:5 (slay the idolaters), where he cuts off the part that says Muslims shouldn’t kill those who submit to Islamic terms of surrender.
        In reality, there is no basic inconsistency between 5:32 and 9:5, unless you cut out the conditional parts of them as Reza Aslan has done. Idolatry (mentioned in 9:5) is disbelief, kufr, the worst crime according to the Qur’an, and therefore the worst form of mischief/corruption (5:32-33) that can be spread in the land.

        (BTW, I agree with the basic premise that interpretation matters a great deal, but I also believe Aslan is wrong in his absolutist claim that interpretation is entirely in the eye of the beholder and is not constrained by the contents of the texts).

        Aslan: “How a worshiper treats these conflicting commandments depends on the believer. If you are a violent misogynist, you will find plenty in your scriptures to justify your beliefs. If you are a peaceful, democratic feminist, you will also find justification in the scriptures for your point of view.”

        If you are an honest peaceful democratic feminist, you’d reject Islam instead of performing the torturous gymnastics and selective ignorance required to sustain allegiance to it.

        NY Times has also published Kristof’s apologetics.
        http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/10/09/opinion/nicholas-kristof-the-diversity-of-islam.html

        Lots of absurdities there, but I noted in particular how, after he singled out Indonesia and Malaysia as moderate on the argument with Maher and Harris, only Indonesia is mentioned to support his thesis in his article, and only one question, re the death penalty for apostasy (16% support among Muslims in Indonesia–apparently, 16% of a population [about 32.8 million people, in this case] that approves of murdering someone for apostasy is an example of moderation for Kristof). Why might Kristof not have dropped Malaysia out of the discussion this time? Maybe because the support for the death penalty for apostasy among Malaysian Muslims is 58% according to the same poll. (And as I’ve argued before, these figures far underestimate the percentage of Muslims who would support at least some punishment for apostates).

          You are so right! Having worked with Muslims for 44+ years as a protestant missionary in Mali and Burkina Faso, W. Africa, my wife and I know full well what the goal of Jihadists is – to take over the world for “Allah”. We’ve only seen up to this point the “tip of the iceberg” as far as the conflict is concerned which rages in the world, especially in Iraq. It is very likely that all the threats to attack those who differ with their goal are real, and where that will lead only God knows. We need to be prepared for what’s next.

        Despite all this evidence, liberal twits like Ben Affleck will deny that the Fort Hood massacre was an Islamic terrorist attack or a jihad attack. These libs have their heads in the sand which makes it easier for jihadists to chop them off.

        Reza Aslan wants sending back to the ‘welcoming’ arms of Iran’s mullahs. I notice his family escaped from Iran in 1979 during the Iranian Revolution, fleeing from Ayatollah Khomeini, and like the typical trojan horse, he seeks to weaken the West from inside. As his vision for the West is to become a theocracy like Iran, I suggest its time to deport this stinking POS.

    Can someone on JW explain to me why LE didn’t shoot this bastard dead on the spot ?, after he killed all those boys ?, what the f…….is wrong with the US Army allowing people like that in uniform ?, aren’t these creeps vetted by screening ? they ( US military ) are being set up to be pawns by the generals at the top, in Vietnam officers who were incompetant and got men killed were fragged, how come the enlisted guys like the senior NCO’S don’t react with anger at the way the Army and Marines are being run ?. Does no one get righteosuly angry ? or are they too scared to stand and be counted ?. The younger men respect the senior NCO’s or did in my day…….

      I’ll take the army allowing Hasan to not only stay in but get glowing performance reviews.

      Hasan did PowerPoint presentations on jihad loaded with Islamic supremacism. Quite often his associates and superiors were disturbed and never said a thing.

      Similarly, the FBI knew Hasan was regularly emailing Anwar al-Awlaki. His communications were not innocent.

      So how could all this be ignored leading to a dozen plus killed and a few dozen injured, some very seriously?

      Political correctness in the form of Obama Administration and US Army policy. Hasan’s superiors knew official policy was diversity over anything else.

      Similarly the FBI is not permitted to look at Islam as a motive for terrorism. There is a Sensitive Operations Review Committee in the Justice Department which makes mosques the only places with a special exemption from terror investigations. The plan is to make it worse, totally disallowing any consideration of religion (Islam) in investigations, period.

      As jihad terror is 100% motivated by Islamic doctrine, this poses insurmountable problems in heading off future attacks in some cases.

        that really leaves two choices of soldier………….the first choice [ the worst for any army] , the career soldier who uses the system to promote his or her own agenda and for power sake, the 2nd who joins for patriotism and defending the nation from foreign enemies and killing bad people who are evil.

        problem now is the career soldiers are winning the positions of power and leadership. The older ” dont f with my nation ” guys are retiring and dying out.

        its simplistic how I put it, but honest , decent, men and women know what the truth is. i just hope they will know when enough is enough they will do the right thing.

      Don’t forget that with the economy in the tankeroo, the Army is booting people left and right. If an E6 had an Article 15 when he was a Pfc., they’ll boot him and retain the E5 who never had one. Any rocking of the boat is likely to get you an assignment to Camp Couch or Fort Living Room. And troops have families to provide for, too. If that means keeping silence, so be it.
      As to fragging, the only real “fragging” incident in the last decade or so was … wait for it …Hasan Akbar (Camp Virginia, Kuwait, in 2003).

      Michael, that won’t do any good. The Spanish Inquisition left mahometans who had always openly practiced mahometanism alone, just as it left Jews who had always been Jews alone.

      Its objects were those who pretended to be Christians, but secretly practiced other religions, or sorcery, or other things that were likewise illegal in colonial America.

      Oddly enough, when the Ottoman Empire fell, the Orthodox Christian equivalent of Marranos were discovered in the interor. Frequently the Church would be under the mosque, and the imam would actually be an Orthodox priest.

      • Will says

        Oct 11, 2014 at 3:59 am

        The Jesuits were created with the explicit aim of converting Muslims although that was late in time. The hardening of the church has always been from the effect of the Christian persecution by Muslims and the degree of brutalisation that this required is proven by the Conquistadors.

        What IS interesting, is with all those old maps and the certain knowledge of the Americas that Islam had, they made no attempt(that we know) to attack the Americas. Why? IMO the loot and slaves(not white) were simply not worth it but I will bet that they did look as they had no problems in raiding Iceland.

      More crap from “Michael”:

      The advantage of leaving the camel piss drinker alive is that you can ram a cattle prod up his ass and then invite him to recant his evil opinion concerning Our Lord Jesus Christ.
      …………………………………

      The idea that US federal authorities are torturing people over their opinions regarding Jesus is absolute bs.

      Notice that “Michael” *never* has any problem with murder in the name of Islam—no, he is too busy recommending that we burn people at the stake for “blasphemy” or apostasy.

      Whether “Michael” is an agent provocateur or just a twisted crank hardly matter—he is no Anti-Jihadist.

          All you decent cops out there, where are you ? sleeping on the job ?, the average person is losing heaps of respect for the average cop, in my neck of the woods, the cops that know right from wrong is diminishing, when I grew up , you smart mouthed the local cop , you got taken somewhere quiet and taught the error of your ways and smartened up, it works, no more smart mouthing or stealing from the local 7 eleven , then I would cop a hiding from the old man.

      This illustrates why today’s Armed Forces would be useless at fighting an enemy like the Japanese of 1941, who fought to the last man and would never surrender, and could still kill whilever they had any gasps of air left in them when fatally wounded. The fact that this traitor is still around says everything. Troops with balls would have finished him off. But the West, its politicians and those at the top of its Armed Forces have been emasculated by political correctness.

    What is evil?

    Breaking your word that there would be no reprisals and then rounding up all the Jews, chopping off the heads of every male with pubic hair and enslaving the women boys and girls for sex and slavery. He (Mo) got 20% of all booty and first choice. Since Mohammed married a six year old, masturbated with/on her thighs from the start and consummated the relationship when she was 9 lunar years old (about 8 of our years.), we know what he liked. And he could literally do anything he wanted to them. So could his followers to their captives.

    If Mohammed wasn’t evil, the word has no meaning.

    He tortured a man to death so he could force the revelation of a tribe’s treasury. Specifically, he lit a fire on the man’s chest. Is that evil? He allowed his soldiers to rape captives in front of their fathers, brothers, husbands, etc. You get to watch some filthy thug rape your wife and children, then some punk chops off your head. Is THAT evil? He had men who disagreed with him assassinated and permitted lying in the accomplishment of that task or basically anything else that would advance conquest. Evil?

    The prophet was one of the most evil men who ever lived. He normalized rape, especially the rape of children. He taught that it was permissible to lie to, steal from, murder, rape and torture all but muslims.

    What other ethical standards do we have.

    While visiting Brazil, the Pope exposed himself tremendously, and his car was even stopped by a crowd of well-wishers, in the center of Rio de Janeiro. It was madness. Now this Muslim assassin of 13 US soldiers, Major Nidal Hassan – who did his killings while screaming Alahu Akbar – has made another threat to the Pope. I see I am not the only one to write to the Vatican, as I did, except that I asked the Pope to be more careful in his public appearances. His life has been threatened by the most dangerous assassins in the world, and I would hate to see any harm done to him, or to anybody else, for that matter. Of course I have received no reply from the Vatican, neither do I expect any. I just felt it was my duty, as a law abiding citizen and a Christian, to warn him, as times have drastically changed, since the days when I was doing my historical research in the Vatican, back in 1970, and the Pope then practically mingled with the crowd.

      Why so concerned about the Pope’s well being? At present he is a major hindrance to waking the world up to the danger of Islam (“authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence” – can you believe it!). Even some of his priests and theologians have started to reject such nonsense, as we saw in a recent JW article.

      At present the struggle is mainly one of own goals. Islamists, aka devout Muslims, are currently scoring plenty in Iraq thereby doing us a great service by showing us Islam in the raw. What could move the discussion along more effectively than the assassination of the man Christians pay most attention to and who has fully espoused the policy of extending the hand of friendship in the expectation of reciprocation?

      It would be a win all round. He gets to go to heaven as a martyr and the rest of us get the most powerful wake up call yet.

        Yes—the current Pope is a willfully ignorant fool, like so may other ‘leaders’ in the West.

        But do you *really* want to see him *assassinated by a Jihadist*?

        Whatever your—or my—personal opinion of the Pope, homicidal Mohammedans would consider murdering the Pope to be a great coup. Remember that a Jihadist tried to kill Pope John Paul II.

        The Pope has been on Jihad hit lists longer than Jihad has been on our radar.

          gravenimage – “Want” is putting it too strongly. Horrible as it is though, I would welcome such news just as I do news of IS successes in Iraq, because the alternative is even worse.

          I fear jihad by demography and politics more than I do an out and out conflict which we would likely win. In Britain 5% of the population are Muslim but 10% of under 5’s are Muslim. Is that going to change with the continuing influx of Muslim refugees and their greater birth rates? I don’t see how.

          The Pope is one of the greatest enablers of this by blessing the Mare Nostrum operation in Italy by which 100,000 refugees were landed on the wrong side of the Mediterranean in the last year alone. Where do they all go? For the most part they don’t stay in Italy – the pickings are too slim – but jump straight on a train for the honey pots of Northern Europe. You can see a fair proportion of them any day besieging the port of Calais.

          As for the Pope, I feel no personal ill will towards him but if his foolish outreach to the Islamic world was rewarded with the obvious it would move us along towards the inevitable conflict which I see as our best hope. You could think of it as a Bishop Sacrifice!

          You say it would be seen as a great coup to homicidal Mohammedans. Indeed, but would it have a greater effect on them or on us? Personally I think the latter.

    I’m sure the Pope will be interested in What Nidel thinks about in all his spare time. Hasan is just engaging in creative jihad, a continuation of his other jihads. By sending this letter to the Pope, it is Pope jihad. He probably hopes the Pope will write him back so he can get into a debate by mail. Debate jihad, letter jihad/ I doubt if the Pope will respond, if he does it will be a, ‘God forgives you if you repent, My Son’, type of letter.

    The Pope seemed clueless when he came to Israel. He is not a physically well man.

    The US Military is now encouraging the rise of the caliphate. It has all been orchestrated and planned out going back at least to Bill Clinton. Although they tell us they are fighting against the Islamic State, they are not doing anything but trying to deceive us of their true motives.

    • gravenimage says

      Oct 10, 2014 at 8:43 pm

      Barack Obama is a different case, but the idea that Bill Clinton and George Bush knew much about Islam—let alone were plotting to create a new Caliphate—is just ridiculous.

      The level of willful ignorance we see in the West regarding Islam *is* incredibly dangerous—but the idea that Western leaders are intentionally boosting violent Jihad for some secret and nefarious purpose is just “conspiracy theory” thinking.

    Now this human waste is housed, fed and clothed at the benefit of the US tax payer…I’m so pissed on so many levels about this whole incident that I’ve got blood shooting out of my eyes….

    Talk about levels of screw ups in this bastards career and PROMOTIONS to boot….has anyone EVER been held accountable for their inactions??

    You wrote – “Maybe we put our thoughts together and compile a list of truly brave individuals willing to risk their lives and livelihoods trying to teach the regular sheeple what Islam is all about, maybe an award ceremony similar to the nobel peace prize but for real anti Islam bravery.”

    Yes.

    Some years ago, here at jihadwatch, each year readers would get to vote on a list of candidates nominated for Anti-Dhimmi Awards. That is: people who in the year since the previous awards were handed out, had publicly exhibited and set an outstanding example of resistance to Islamisation. There were also Booby Prizes, given to those who had exhibited the opposite – grovelling subservience to the Muslim agenda.

    Essentially, Mr Spencer put names forward and also received suggestions from the floor, and then a short-list was worked out, upon which people then voted over a set time period (I forget how long).

    A few years back, they lapsed.

    *I* think it’s time they were reinstated. Mr Spencer would need the tech wizards to help him set things up so we could vote by clicking on the name / s of our preferred candidates.

    Because new people *have* been stepping up to the plate, who truly deserve to be honoured; and at the same time, we have seen some truly egregious examples of fawning, grovelling subservience that need to be publicly shown the scorn they deserve.

    We used to just pick an “Anti-Dhimmi of the Year, USA” and “Anti-Dhimmi of the Year, International” (i.e. a non-American), and then the same for the Chief Dhimmi Booby-Prize. ‘
    My own thought is that dividing each of those into subcategories – “Private Individual, Public Figure, Business or Institution” might make it more interesting. And I think there should be “honorable” (or in the case of the dhimmis, dishonorable) mention for the runners-up.

We will have to fight them if we are going to survive not just delay the telling the truth so we who are the infidels will be prepared.

    As for that Muslim Hasan such an evil and deadly men as he can be describes in the Bible. For example the N.K.J.V. informs the reader about those who are “brutal, despisers of good, traitors…” Second Timothy 3:3,4. Likewise, the same Bible verse in the K.J.V. describes those who are “fierce, despisers of those who are good, traitors…” Hasan is a heinous, cruel murderous and traitorous fiend. He is that person that Islam produced at Fort Hood. Jesus did teach “By their fruit you will recognize them.” [N.I.V.]

    …………………………..

    I realize that this missive sheds light on Muslim motivation—but why the hell would US authorities allow a convicted violent felon to send threatening letters to the Pope through his lawyer? Isn’t inmate mail carefully vetted, and their being prevented from sending threatening messages?

    Or are the Infidels in charge so ignorant of Islam that they fail to understand that this letter *is* threatening?

    Hasan, otherwise known as the Fort Hood shooter was engaging in the heinous and murderous actions of the jihad for Islam when he was committing those deadly acts of violence at Fort Hood. As for example the Quran teaches in Sura 9:111. “The believer fight in Allah’s cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Nevertheless, in spite of all the reality of the facts the P.C. people are still in denial and have the gall to call this jihad attack a case of workplace violence.”
    Just how ignorant those people be?

      My question Walter and it’s asked in all seriousness, how mesmerized is our populace to accept and believe without any investigation 3hours after the event the President pronouncing that this was workplace violence, had nothing to do with Islam, and we should not blame Islam for the act of one Muslim. I remember those three elements being covered by Obama on the day of the incident and being stunned how he could make such conclusions and make them so quickly. My immediate reaction was that his words were bogus. However since his label stuck I have to ask is our general population the same as 1930s Germany entranced with the image & words of Hitler but in this case juxtapose Obama? This is scary stuff. What appears to me as a clear bold face lie I see liberal accept hook line and sinker never questioning its validity!

    Fort Hood jihad mass murderer writes “A Warning To Pope Francis, Members Of The Vatican, And Other Religious Leaders Around the World”

    I would like to see Pope Francis in a vis-a-vis encounter with the Fort Hood shooter, Hassan. Perhaps, within their conversations the Pope would garner an insight as to how maligned and convoluted Islamic ideology can be…..an opportunity for him to reconsider whether “Islam is a religion of peace” or not.

    It may behoove Hassan to have a conversation with Pope Francis……with all probability that the Pope will ask for the commutation of Hassan’s death sentence. Yes, such a request will raise the ire of many, including the families of the shooting victims and understandably so!

    This geste from Pope Francis would exemplify what Christianity is all about …..mercy! Perhaps, Hassan will be impressed by the mercy being extended to him, even though he is in death row at the moment. It would be nice if what the Pope brings to him; in a form of joyous hope to Hassan……that will have an influence on his Soldier of Allah stance (Islam’s poster boy image) to a stand-down. If this wonderful miracle would come to pass…..the whole Muslim world will react……..hoping to see a Muslim/Islam’s unity reformation….eliminating its religion’s radical component all together.

    Perhaps the following passage in the Qu’ran is what the Vatican reads to conclude that “Islam is a religion of peace”:

    God Almighty says, “And We have not sent you but as a mercy to the worlds.” (Al-Anbiyaa’ 21:107). Prophet Muhammad

    But, a Big BUT to its actual meaning as usual…… it “has been taken out of context,” according to this website, which has a convoluted take on the Qu’ran’s Al-Anbiyaa’ 21:107 passage.

    https://www.facebook.com/notes/discover-islam/prophet-muhammad-pbuh-a-mercy-to-the-world-part-12/114414853706

    A side note #1: I think the Muslim’s has radicalized the word ‘context’. Let’s say that this greatly used word by Muslims, is part of the Taqiya process; the Muslim/Islamic religion’s and social typical safety-net.

    A side note #2: This post was written as an opinion giving suggestion for Pope Francis’ role in bringing unity between the Islamic’s and the other faith’s, for the sake of world wide peace.

    If the Pope’s efforts are not well received….other options should be considered, in spite public opinion. Like the use of minimum collateral damage smart weapons (non-nuclear)….Stun bombs, EM devices, etc. The USA need to exhibit power…the newest in technology power!

    Elisheva14 is spot on in his observation and analysis. I differ only in so far that I think the chain traces it’s origins back to Bush I and that crowd. What has occurred to me without sounding like a crazed conspiracy nut, could the the idea of resurrecting the caliphate at this time find its way back to some worship at the Bildenberg Group?

    The Lee Harvey Oswald connection; a conspiracy based upon facts that you can look up for yourselves: I saw something on the History channel the other day about the complete story of Lee Harvey Oswald’s last day or week alive regarding his “wedding ring.” This is when he shot President Kennedy.
    There was one thing that stood out. The ring that he left in his old lady’s Russian tea cup. Well, it was his old lady’s mother’s tea cup (who was hooked up with someone from the Russian interior ministry, or something to that effect).
    This ring had the Russian sickle and hammer stamped in it (left behind symbolically by Oswald). The Russian sickle and hammer is the equivalent of the Freemason square and compass.
    The compass represents God’s intelligent design (the compass, measures angles, degrees, and an imperfect circle according to PI as far as I understand it).
    The square represents Man’s architecture, because nature doesn’t build in right angles; as for straight lines, well you could argue that a crystal is a straight line, but built upon natural imperfections. Note: you can gain the proportion of a square from a compass according to Pythagorean’s theorem, because a straight line is 180 degrees, and a right angle is 90 degrees. The “G” is supposedly represents the Great Architect.
    In order to have a proper order of operations, the word God should be above the compass, which is above the square. It is not according to “be your own god,” or “do whatever thou wilt.” This plan is specifically against the Catholic Church.
    Now take the Russian sickle (agriculture, or God’s intelligent design) and hammer (industry, or Man’s industry) and you can see the connection. The reason why there is no “G” is because the governmental ideology of Russia is communist from the beginning; thus, no freemason structure according to the way the United States manifests the Great Architect’s plan in its “free” people.
    The plan is a One World Order with mankind’s enslavement according to the Federal Reserve System here in America. Reportedly, every country in the world is on a One World Order type banking system, with the exception of Iran (Kaddafi was supposedly assassinated because he wanted to back his country’s economy with the country’s own gold). This is what “they” call their manifest destiny; that men are too stupid to run their own world, so they should be enslaved.
    This is the thinking behind the Supreme Court’s ruling (here in America) regarding the R.F.I.D. chip, which is currently in the Affordable Healthcare Act (Obamacare), which is a class II transponder system. It is an implantable medical device in the FDA database that is going to contain you records that are life sustaining (your medical records), and your records that are life supporting (your bank records). Note: this is why the A.C.A. was over a thousand pages long; to hide their plan regarding the R.F.I.D. chip, and this is why the current congress is only speaking of repealing Obamacare in part (today is 12/2/2014).
    According to this R.F.I.D. chip (which is literally the “mark of the beast,” because it was first used to mark your pets as your property) it is part of the A.C.A. under the “commerce clause” of the United States Constitution (where the judicial branch does not have substantive powers to legislate; much like Obama and his immigration bull) as a tax. This is manifest destiny thinking!
    This is because the Federal Reserve System is a Ponzi scheme utilized to bankrupt America, where the R.F.I.D. chip is based upon the Hollerith machines of Nazi Germany, and the fact that there is a number on the bottom of your birth certificate that is on the stock market (more manifest destiny thinking). Note: Obama’s stimulus package is a giant step towards bankrupting America due to inflation, where you received a one-time payment of 300 dollars, but your prices at the grocery store tripled permanently (so the State can indoctrinate you children to Obama instead of saying the Pledge of Allegiance to their country by having you work two jobs, with no benefits, for the same food; is this Marxist?). Note: Obamacare is also Obama’s second stimulus package.
    You do know that Obama is a Marxist President in his ideology don’t you? You should, you elected him. Now back to Lee Harvey Oswald. According to sources, the Freemasons infiltrated Russia in 1917.
    Now take this fact with Italics in the 1954 Douay (Catholic) bible (they are not supposed to be there look at the book of Jerimias; I think this book manifests this fact (that they are not supposed to be there, which is due to a lack of purpose). The England version of this Bible uses the word “shew bread” instead of “show bread (which is in the American version of the same year).” Why is Old English (the language) used in a modern Douay Bible?
    Maybe it’s Ed Sullivan: “that a really big shew.” Maybe it’s Khrushchev banging his shoe on a podium before the U.N. stating “America we will bury you.” Maybe it’s the fact that Gorbachev won a Nobel Peace prize for dismantling his country. Maybe it’s the fact that Obama won a Nobel Peace prize for being elected President (for dismantling his country before it even happened; more manifest destiny thinking).
    So, how does this tie in to Lee Harvey Oswald. Well according to the documentary that I saw, he met with the K.G.B. guy in charge of Assassinations back then, the week before he assassinated President Kennedy, where President Kennedy (in a press conference) told the world press to manifest any One World Order corruption. This is what is the Great Architect’s plan is. I am a “gangstaking” victim, but I paid attention to their attacks over the years. I went to college and learned their ways with the basis that “they” are 100 percent anti-God. This is due to their cruel methods; I am a Catholic.
    On one more note: there was a prophecy by Saint Malachy that the “black” Pope would be assassinated with the Russian federation flag flying about the Vatican. Take this and apply this to the movie Stripes. “call me Psycho.” “You call me Francis and I’ll kill you.” I like how Psycho was shooting at that flock of birds with his M-16 don’t you. Maybe this is according to Saint Francis; the Patron Saint of Animals.

      So the Jihad Master screamed Allahu Akbar, while he killed unarmed American soldiers. “Workplace violence” my foot! That was plain violent Jihad, in |American soil and within an Army compound. Wake up, Americans. It is time to put an end to this, or you will end up as cowardly as your British cousins. Sing out loud: “Oh beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain…” For God’s sake, be proud again of being true Americans.
