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

CNN covers up national security analyst’s ties to Hamas-funding Qatar regime

Apr 4, 2019 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

It has been clear for quite some time that the establishment media is not providing news. It is a propaganda organ for the hard-Left and its jihadist allies. And now that is being definitively confirmed. CNN’s quiet deletion of Kayyem’s ties to jihad-funding Qatar demonstrate that it is aware that featuring such people undercuts its claim to be a news source. No American (or anyone else) should trust CNN as a source of news. It is a key part of the entire corrupt cabal that has worked hard to discredit and destroy opposition to jihad terror by mainstreaming and normalizing Islamic antisemitism, the spurious concept of “Islamophobia,” and the idea that it is “bigoted” and “hateful” to oppose jihad mass murder and Sharia oppression of women, gays, and others.

“CNN Plays Cover-Up On Analyst’s Ties To Qatar Regime,” by Amber Athey, Daily Caller, April 3, 2019:

CNN quietly edited a national security analyst’s biography Wednesday after a report revealed she was a board member of a Qatari-funded organization.

The Conservative Review’s Jordan Schachtel reported Tuesday that several CNN contributors and guests have undisclosed ties to the Qatari government, which could influence their on-air coverage of Middle Eastern affairs. Juliette Kayemm [sic], a national security analyst who is on contract with CNN, was listed by the network as of Wednesday as a board member of the International Centre for Sport Security (ICSS).

ICSS president Mohammed Hanzab said in 2016 that the group is “70% funded by the Qatar government,” a regime that is accused of funding terror and violating basic human rights.

Despite the fact that CNN’s biography for Kayyem on its website called her a “board member of … the International Centre for Sport Security,” a CNN source reached out to The Daily Caller to dispute that characterization.

“She WAS on the board of International Center for Sports Security, an organization promoting best practices for the safety of sporting events, which included senior leaders from the U.S., Europe, and elsewhere. That contract ENDED several years ago,” the source claimed.

The Caller pointed out that Kayyem’s bio on the CNN website said she was a board member of the ICSS. Shortly thereafter, the source indicated that her bio had been updated.

However, rather than changing Kayyem’s affiliation with the group to past tense, CNN scrubbed any references to it entirely….

Kayyem’s affiliation with the group was also changed on her faculty page at Harvard University, where she serves as a lecturer in International Security….

    You are too kind…call a spade a spade. Main Stream Media including CNN is a propaganda tool of the far left. Just Hitler, Russia, North Korea, Iran all have taken control of their medias, It has happened here too in the US. CNN does not make money in the US…their ratings are in the shitter…they make their money from CNN international….where there are still a population of naive people who believe in the US media….https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/06/secret-ailing-cnns-success/326968/

    Rats hide in the dark and scurry when suddenly they find that they are in the spotlight.

    But the Truth is always revealed. Nothing can remain hidden. Jesus said that and it is True.

    ………………………

    Fox, henhouse.

    And Juliette Kayyem is not just lying to to people through CNN–she is also endangering Americans, in her high-ranking position with the Department of Homeland Security.

    Kayyem has also flogged the idea that terror attacks are a fact of life in the modern world, and that we are succeeding if fewer people die (note she has never said compared to what, exactly).

    That these terror attacks–she never calls them “Jihad” or “Islamic” or even “Islamic extremist” attacks–the “I” and “J” words are never mentioned at all–basically did not exist just twenty years ago.

    CNN would have had covert Nazis working in their news room if they had existed in 1939.

      Mortimer, in those days they had work covert, in our days they can work openly as long as they belong to the correct political mainstream. Just take a look at the European press.

    If U make a Muslim an enemy, Ur life then gets into danger because of jehaad…
    If U make a Muslim Ur friend.. Ur A then gets into danger because of betrayal.

    This in itself is another Islamic TRUISM from the annals of the infidel.

    The enemedia is owned by the same six corporations and I’d bet their six CEOs are all on each others’ boards of directors, too. As globalist bankster-owned corporazis, they would seem to have little in common with wealth-redistributing communist lefties or tribal muslims – until one factors their mutually hypocritical, literally thought-killing psychopathy into it: they are all gangsters, out to destroy and enslave all individuality because, since they can’t trust their own minds and emotions, there’s no way they’ll risk trusting anyone else’s.

    More reason to show that CNN has lost 50% of their viewers and a lot of the remaining 50% just watch to see how wrong they are..CNN is not the only MSM outlet that fails the public . I realise that we have freedom of the press but what’s going on in news reporting today is just plain ridiculous and so actually harmful. Some people just take their word for the gospel instead of RESEARCHING their output and that is also harmful.
    For instance…someone will take the word of the MSM without RESEARCHING then pass on to others what they heard or read and that passes passed it on to others it …..and on and on it goes.
    NEVER TAKE THE WORD OF THE MSM…..Do some RESEARCH!

    It has been clear for quite some time that the establishment media is not providing news. It is a propaganda organ for the hard-Left and its jihadist allies….

    That the media is propaganda, correct. That is nothing new.

    But there is nothing Hard-Left about these policy… It is the Globalist agenda mimicking as left and 90% of the people including the Leftists fall for it. To consider the pro-Globalist big-corporate owned media left is kinda weird, illogical to me.

    In my youth – I am an old man now – considering oneself left meant:
    – pro free spech, against censorship
    – pro freedom of religion especially freedom from religion
    – being pro justice with no privileges
    – equal rights for all including women, gay and colored people
    – pro peace
    – being critical of the government regardless who was in charge (OK, some were blind on the left eye)

    What is being called the Left today is the opposite:
    – being pro the most backward anti-civilization religions except our own
    – killing women’s rights via the above
    – being pro Globalist agenda (no border-no nation = pro suicide for our own culture)
    – being pro government (except if it supports your own people)
    – being pro racism and misogyny if it comes from foreign cultures

    In a word: insanity!

    Juliette Kayyem’s current profile on CNN’s website with no mention of her affiliation to ICSS:

    https://web.archive.org/web/20181115071428/https://www.cnn.com/profiles/juliette-kayyem-profile#about

    Her CNN profile, from 11/18/2018 (in the Internet Archive), listing her affiliation:

    https://web.archive.org/web/20181115071428/https://www.cnn.com/profiles/juliette-kayyem-profile#about

    Her profile from her own website listing a current affiliation to ICSS:

    http://www.juliettekayyem.com/

    Apparently it was more important to CNN to scrub her affiliation than it was for her to do it. It would be interesting to see, when the ICSS website is back online, whether they list a current affiliation for her.
