Obama’s big dream was freeing all the terrorists and closing Gitmo. One of his first executive orders addressed Gitmo’s terrorists. He forced out Secretary of Defense Hagel over it, and terrorized Secretary of Defense Ash Carter to such an extent that at one point Obama actually asked a Republican Congress for the power to override him on this. The Osama mission wasn’t about killing the terrorist leader, but detaining him for a civilian trial so he could justify dismantling Gitmo and the military court system.
Biden is following in Obama’s footsteps, but he’s chosen to be less confrontational about it. That’s a matter of tactics, not ends.
Unlike Hagel and Carter, Biden picked Lloyd Austin as a guy who will rubber stamp the worst possible abuses and crimes against national security.
It began with prioritizing Gitmo terrorists for vaccines.
9/11 vets expressed their fury at Joe Biden after the Pentagon approved giving Covid vaccines to Guantanamo Bay terror inmates before most Americans.
Tom Van Essen, who was New York City Fire Commissioner during the September 11 attacks, called the move “f**king nuts.”
“The fact that the 9/11 community can’t get the vaccine and the terrorists can show how backward our government is,” John Feal, who was a demolition supervisor at Ground Zero, said.
“It’s the most ludicrous thing I’ve ever heard. It’s an insult to the people who ran into the towers and were killed and those who worked on the pile for months and are ill.”
Last month, I wrote about one of Biden’s more outrageous Gitmo release parties.
Biden’s newest charity case wanted something bigger. The dossier describes the 9/11 mastermind’s associate and Paracha chatting about Al Qaeda getting some “radiological or nuclear items several times” because Paracha wanted “to help al-Qaida ‘do something big against the US.’”
Paracha “also discussed nuclear attacks and attacks against nuclear power plants” and had an idea for “al-Qaida to attack a nuclear power plant”.
So you can see why Joe Biden is letting him go.
But the overall strategy is keeping Biden’s plot against America on the down-low.
President Joe Biden has quietly begun efforts to close the U.S. detention facility at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, using an under-the-radar approach to minimize political blowback and to try to make at least some progress in resolving a long-standing legal and human rights morass before the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
And then Biden can have a party to celebrate the 20th anniversary with his new Taliban, Al Qaeda, and Iranian terrorist buddies.
But he’s trying to keep it secret.
After initial plans for a more aggressive push to close the facility — including rebuffed attempts to recruit a special envoy to oversee the strategy — the White House changed course, sources said. The administration has opted to wait before it reaches out to Congress, which has thwarted previous efforts to close the camp, because of fears that political outcry might interfere with the rest of Biden’s agenda.
“They don’t want it to become a dominant issue that blows up,” a former senior administration official involved in the discussions said of Biden officials. “They don’t want it to become a lightning rod.”
Don’t tell the Americans what we’re up to. Let the media keep posting pictures of Biden with dogs or kids, while the nation is betrayed.

How many ways can he spell TREASON. Clearly, from the legal definition…

Looks like old Joe will go down in history as one of the most evil, even though demented, president in US history.
Frank Anderson says
It is a sad fact that in order to make an omelet eggs must be broken. When these terrorists are released, when not if, they will resume their violence but they will also become “fair game” for proper handling that they are not at the moment. There is no free lunch for evil any more than there is for good. That is what totalitarians want: To destroy our society so they can build their dream death camp, with us as inmates.
gravenimage says
I very much doubt that this is Biden’s reasoning here, Frank.
Frank Anderson says
If Democrats could reason they would be Republicans. Would any totalitarian government give a #### what the common people feel, experience or suffer? Not so far! The label, Nazi, Communist or Muslim, doesn’t matter. The result is the same: “The rich rule the poor and the borrower is the slave of the lender.” While in prison the inmates live. When they rejoin the battle they can be killed. But so will others. Tell me, in their view isn’t it better to die in battle than to live in a cage?

There’s a special class of people the US military and Deep State can incarcerate indefinitely without trial. For the moment, the limiting factor is that the prisoner cannot be a US citizen and must have been arrested outside the US. Outside of that, the sky’s the limit. No restrictions at all.
The necessary consequence of that approach is the indefinite detention in solitary confinement of US citizens participating in a raucous demonstration inside the Capitol in Washington DC. Chances are most of the demonstrators being held will eventually get out…this time. On the other hand, if the demonstration is successfully painted as an insurrection, it won’t be too large a step to strip the participants of their US citizenship. They can then be shipped to Guantanamo with impunity.
I’m quite sure the Biden administration is not trying to close Guantanamo because the existence of the facility makes the US safer. The Biden administration is consistently opposed to US interests. Nevertheless, the closing of Guantanamo, if done as a principled action, will probably serve to make the liberties of US citizens, those that remain, more secure. At this point, the prisoners should either be charged under US law or released. I don’t see any real abuse if they are charged under US military law, but in that case, they need to be afforded the entire benefits of the US code of military justice. This is not to protect the Guantanamo residents but to protect the rights of US citizens.

I wouldn’t put it past them. What a message that would send to any future “seditious” would-be “insurrectionists” from the Wokes oh-so-suddenly outraged at the January 6 “riot” after playing monkey see-no-evil-hear-no-evil-and sure are hell speak-no-evil about months of BLM/Antifa–led rioting, looting, burning and destroying American cities in “mostly peaceful” protests.
Throwing 9/11 survivors under the bus started the moment Hussein Obama took office, safdly with much of the way already paved for the proposed Ground-Zero mosque and so many other abominations.
I wonder if they’ll get Kakkalmala to visit Gitmo — in hijab and other properly modest attire, of course — to report on the prisoners “in cages” and other “deplorable” conditions.
gravenimage says
Many Gitmo prisoners return to violent Jihad. Freeing them does not actually make American citizens safer as you posit.
Jim says
Another reason to impeach Biden, or shall we say Comrad Biden. I suppose that al Kaida will be conciliated by this generous gesture and convert to pacifists and spend their lives making amends to the victims and their families. Good idea, Joseph, or perhaps St. Joseph.
Walter Sieruk says
What a despicable character that bogus President Biden has proven himself to be.
It’s rather obvious that creepy old Joe mustn’t really care about the lives and safety of the American people or other Westerners .

Biden to Celebrate 20th Anniversary of 9/11 by Freeing Gitmo Terrorists
……………….
Just sick.
OLD GUY says
Dam I miss Donald Trump. He wasn’t perfect but he was for America.
BlackSabbath says
Biden should wear burkha during the 20th Anniversary of 9/11 as he frees Gitmo terrorists.
