Phil Haney on Orlando jihad mass murderer Omar Mateen and his mosque: “Imagine what it must have been like to be an active-duty subject matter expert in counter-terrorism. I had my own superiors making these kind of statements incessantly. When I was sitting there with evidence, for example, about the Ft. Pierce mosque – not […]
Two days before Orlando jihad massacre, DHS told officials not to use words “jihad” and “Sharia” to avoid offending Muslims
The Obama administration is deeply committed to the proposition that it would be wrong and harmful to identify the jihad threat for what it is. In reality, its politically correct willful ignorance is hamstringing proper analysis of the problem, and endangering Americans. “DHS report before Orlando massacre: Don’t offend Muslims while combating extremism,” by Douglas […]
DHS Secretary: “Right-wingers” pose same threat as Islamic jihadists
This is not true by any measure. The much-publicized “study” from last summer that purported to show that “right-wing extremists” were more of a domestic threat than Islamic jihadists has been exploded even on its own skewed terms by the Orlando jihad massacre: it was based on the claim that right-wingers had killed more people […]
Congressman: DHS says Orlando gay club jihad mass murderer made pledge of allegiance to the Islamic State
Islamic State spokesman Abu Mohammad al-Adnani recently called on Muslims to “get prepared, be ready … to make it a month of calamity everywhere for nonbelievers…especially for the fighters and supporters of the caliphate in Europe and America.” “Dem rep told Orlando shooter ‘made pledge of allegiance’ to ISIS,” by Rebecca Savransky, The Hill, June […]
Robert Spencer, FP: DHS: Airport Workers Suspected of Terror Ties Have All Been Vetted
In FrontPage I discuss the latest Obama administration willful ignorance: Relax. After reports surfaced last month that dozens of private airline employees may have had terror ties, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson this week set the record straight: “It’s not that they’re suspected terrorists. It’s that they hadn’t been vetted through all available databases. We […]
Relax: DHS says airport workers suspected of terror ties have now all been vetted
Can an administration that doesn’t even acknowledge the existence of the terrorists’ motivating ideology really vet these people, or anyone else? “Airport employees thought to have possible terrorist ties have now been vetted,” by George Colli, Action News Jax, April 6, 2016: Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson is setting the record straight on our series […]
Obama DHS secretly scrubbed 1,000 names from U.S. terror watch lists
“At least 1,000 names were scrubbed from the U.S. Terrorist Screening Database as part of an administration effort to protect the civil rights of suspected individuals.” What could possibly go wrong? Surely if any jihadis’ names were scrubbed from the list, they would be so grateful that their civil rights were being protected that they […]
DHS ordered agent to scrub records of 100s of Muslims with terror ties
What could possibly have been Obama’s motive to do this? What possible effect could it have had other than to allow for more jihad terror attacks? “DHS ordered me to scrub records of Muslims with terror ties,” by Philip Haney, The Hill, February 5, 2016 (thanks to Pamela Geller): Amid the chaos of the 2009 […]
SB jihadi passed 3 background checks while advocating jihad murder on social media
But don’t be concerned. U.S. officials are going to vet the heck out of those Syrian refugees. They’re going to vet them til the cows come home. That’s right: U.S. officials who are bound as a matter of policy to deny that there is any connection between jihad terror and the Islamic faith are going […]
Congressman: 72 DHS employees on terrorist watchlist
Representative Stephen Lynch (D-Massachusetts) points up an appalling weakness in the Homeland Security Department that won’t be fixed by the firing of these 72 employees and the resignation of the director (which director he is referring to is unclear; the DHS Secretary certainly didn’t resign). The entire culture of the Department, and the Washington establishment, […]
DHS confesses: No databases exist to vet Syrian refugees
And since the Obama Administration continues in its resolute denial of the motivating and guiding ideology behind the global jihad, there is no possible way that DHS could effectively subject these refugees to “robust screening.” Any attempt by them to do so is foredoomed. “DHS Confesses: No Databases Exist To Vet Syrian Refugees,” Investor’s Business […]
FBI now sending some potential Islamic State jihadis to counseling
The FBI is bound as a matter of policy to ignoring and denying the ideological wellsprings of the jihad terror threat in Islamic doctrine. So it is understandable that it would look for causes in other places, no matter how implausible. There is also a whiff of Soviet-era totalitarianism in this: the Soviet Communists declared […]
DHS warns: Jihadis could target airports, sensitive sites with drones
Not that the DHS called them “jihadis,” of course. The DHS appears to be very up on this threat from drones, but about who is operating them and why, and what their motives and goals are, they are completely in the dark, and willfully so. Consequently they will never be able to come up with […]
DHS chief: Don’t call it “Islamic extremism,” it has nothing to do with Islam
Johnson has said this before, on more than one occasion. And despite manifesting an abysmal ignorance of the contents of the Qur’an, Johnson claims to have read it, and that it reminds him of quintessential American values. More proof that he hasn’t really read it. Graham’s point is excellent: “Even more disturbing (and once again, […]
DHS Secretary: To call the Islamic State Islamic would be “dignifying them as occupying some form of Islam”
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson was reduced to stammering tautologies when George Stephanopoulos asked him why the Administration won’t call the Islamic State Islamic: “Now I have to say, when I travel around the country and meet with Muslim leaders in this country in these engagements that I have, they all tend to say pretty […]
DHS intel report warns of domestic right-wing terror threat
In the middle of this story on the CNN page was a link to another CNN story that shows just how ridiculous this is: “ISIS burned up to 40 people alive in Iraq, official says.” Have “right-wing sovereign citizen extremists” burned anyone alive? Have these “right-wingers” kidnapped large numbers of left-wing women and pressed them […]
