Sen. Lindsey Graham to Obama: Hand Over Your Intelligence Briefings

Sen. Lindsey Graham to Obama: Hand Over Your Intelligence Briefings

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is calling on President Obama to hand over documents that show which intelligence briefings about ISIS he received and read.

"I believe that the presidential daily briefings could solve this problem," Graham said. Let us see what he was being told and make our own independent decision as Congress for oversight."

Graham noted that President George W. Bush handed over his intelligence briefings to the 9/11 Commission so what he saw and read could be documented.

"President Bush turned over his presidential daily briefings to the 9/11 Commission to make sure history recorded what happened on 9/11," Graham noted.


SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM: When he says he did not refer to ISIS as the JV team in January because they're so powerful now, he's trying to basically walk back that statement. At the end of the day he wanted out of Iraq. The Iraqis were willing to leave troops behind, but he would never give them a number and now he's throwing the intelligence community under the bus. I believe that the presidential daily briefings could solve this problem. Let us see what he was being told and make our own independent decision as Congress for oversight. I'm worried that our intelligence community is not functioning according to the commander in chief -- or is the commander in chief not functioning? We'll never know until we see the information.

President Bush turned over his presidential daily briefings to the 9/11 Commission to make sure history recorded what happened on 9/11. Mr. President, President Obama turn those daily briefings over so history can adequately record what happened regarding the rise of ISIS. Did you miss it and ignore it? Or was it the intelligence community?

RGENT: Pentagon Official Comes Forward, Confirms Obama is Lying About the “Islamic State”

RGENT: Pentagon Official Comes Forward, Confirms Obama is Lying About the “Islamic State”


During a recent interview on 60 Minutes, President Barack Obama once again lied about the Islamic State, attempting to deceive the American people about what he knew about their capabilities and when.
He claimed that the intelligence community underestimated the threat posed by the Islamic State, and threw Director of National Intelligence James Clapper under the bus, blaming him for the lack of a clear strategy and response to the Islamic State’s murderous rampage through Iraq and Syria.
Of course, we all knew that was a lie, but now a high-ranking official with the Defense Department is calling out Obama for it.  Writing an op-ed for the Daily Caller under a pen name to preserve his anonymity and career, “Joseph Miller” exposes the lies that Obama has told about the rise of ISIS.
“On Sunday, Obama said the intelligence community had underestimated the rise of ISIS, saying in an interview with CBS, ‘Our head of the intelligence community, Jim Clapper, has acknowledged that, I think, they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria.'”
“But we know that isn’t true, as nearly a dozen administration officials have testified to the threat posed by ISIS publicly over the last year.”

Via NBC NEWS:
An American freelance cameraman working for NBC News in Liberia has tested positive for Ebola and will be flown back to the United States for treatment.
The infected freelancer was hired Tuesday to be a second cameraman for NBC News Chief Medical Editor and Correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman. Snyderman is with three other NBC News employees on assignment in Monrovia, reporting on the Ebola outbreak.
The freelancer came down with symptoms on Wednesday, feeling tired and achy. As part of a routine temperature check, he discovered he was running a slight fever. He immediately quarantined himself and sought medical advice. On Thursday morning, the 33 year-old American went to a Medicins Sans Frontieres (MSF) treatment center to be tested for the virus. The positive result came back just under 12 hours later.
The cameraman, who also is a writer, is the fourth American to have contracted Ebola in Liberia. He has been working in Liberia on various projects for the past three years. NBC News is withholding the cameraman’s name at the request of his family.
“We are doing everything we can to get him the best care possible. He will be flown back to the United States for treatment at a medical center that is equipped to handle Ebola patients,” NBC News President Deborah Turness said in a note to staff.
“We are also taking all possible measures to protect our employees and the general public,” Turness added in the note. “The rest of the crew, including Dr. Nancy, are being closely monitored and show no symptoms or warning signs. However, in an abundance of caution, we will fly them back on a private charter flight and then they will place themselves under quarantine in the United States for 21 days – which is at the most conservative end of the spectrum of medical guidance.”
American aid workers Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol were infected in July while working for Samaritan’s Purse in Monrovia. Last month, Dr. Rick Sacra was diagnosed with the virus after working at a local hospital in Liberia. Liberian national Thomas Eric Duncan is currently being treated for Ebola at a hospital in Dallas, TX.
Here is the full text of Turness’ note to NBC News staff:
All:
As you know, Dr. Nancy Snyderman and our news team are in Liberia covering the Ebola outbreak. One of the members of their crew is an American freelance cameraman who has worked in Liberia for the past three years and has recently been covering the epidemic for US media outlets. On Tuesday he began working with our team. Today, he tested positive for Ebola.
We are doing everything we can to get him the best care possible. He will be flown back to the United States for treatment at a medical center that is equipped to handle Ebola patients. We are consulting with the CDC, Medicins Sans Frontieres and others. And we are working with Dr. Nancy on the ground in Liberia.
We are also taking all possible measures to protect our employees and the general public. The rest of the crew, including Dr. Nancy, are being closely monitored and show no symptoms or warning signs. However, in an abundance of caution, we will fly them back on a private charter flight and then they will place themselves under quarantine in the United States for 21 days – which is at the most conservative end of the spectrum of medical guidance.
We know you share our concern for our colleagues and we will continue to keep you up to date and informed. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or David Verdi with any questions.
Deborah

US document reveals cooperation between Washington and Brotherhood

US document reveals cooperation between Washington and Brotherhood

ohm2Gulf News, June 18, 2014: (H/T Halal Pork Shop)
Dubai: For the past decade, two successive US administrations have maintained close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Tunisia, Syria and Libya, to name just the most prominent cases.
The Obama administration conducted an assessment of the Muslim Brotherhood in 2010 and 2011, beginning even before the events known as the “Arab Spring” erupted in Tunisia and in Egypt. The President personally issued Presidential Study Directive 11 (PSD-11) in 2010, ordering an assessment of the Muslim Brotherhood and other “political Islamist” movements, including the ruling AKP in Turkey, ultimately concluding that the United States should shift from its longstanding policy of supporting “stability” in the Middle East and North Africa (that is, support for “stable regimes” even if they were authoritarian), to a policy of backing “moderate” Islamic political movements.
To this day, PSD-11 remains classified, in part because it reveals an embarrassingly naïve and uninformed view of trends in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region.
The revelations were made by Al Hewar centre in Washington, DC, which obtained the documents in question.
Through an ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, thousands of pages of documentation of the US State Department’s dealings with the Muslim Brotherhood are in the process of being declassified and released to the public.
US State Department documents obtained under the FOIA confirm that the Obama administration maintained frequent contact and ties with the Libyan Muslim Brotherhood. At one point, in April 2012, US officials arranged for the public relations director of the Libyan Muslim Brotherhood, Mohammad Gaair, to come to Washington to speak at a conference on “Islamists in Power” hosted by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
A State Department Cable classified “Confidential” report says the following: “Benghazi Meeting With Libyan Muslim Brotherhood: On April 2 [2012] Mission Benghazi met with a senior member of the Muslim Brotherhood steering committee, who will speak at the April 5 Carnegie Endowment `Islamist in Power’ conference in Washington, D.C. He described the Muslim Brotherhood’s decision to form a political party as both an opportunity and an obligation in post-revolution Libya after years of operating underground. The Brotherhood’s Justice and Construction Party would likely have a strong showing in the upcoming elections, he said, based on the strength of the Brotherhood’s network in Libya, its broad support, the fact that it is a truly national party, and that 25 per cent of its members were women. He described the current relationship between the Brotherhood and the TNC (Transitional National Council) as `lukewarm.’”
Another State Department paper marked “Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU)” contained talking points for Deputy Secretary of State William Burns’ scheduled July 14, 2012 meeting with Mohammad Sawan, the Muslim Brotherhood leader who was also head of the Brotherhood’s Justice and Construction Party. The document is heavily redacted, but nevertheless provides clear indication of Washington’s sympathies for the emergence of the Muslim Brotherhood as a major political force in the post-Gaddafi Libya. The talking points recommended that Secretary Burns tell Sawan that the US government entities “share your party’s concerns in ensuring that a comprehensive transitional justice process is undertaken to address past violations so that they do not spark new discontent.”
The Burns paper described the Libyan Muslim Brotherhood: “Prior to last year’s revolution, the Muslim Brotherhood was banned for over three decades and its members were fiercely pursued by the Gaddafi regime. The Libyan Muslim Brotherhood (LMB) returned to Libya last year after years in exile in Europe and the United States, selected new leadership and immediately began to plan for an active role in Libya’s political future.” After a redacted section, the document continued, “The LMB-affiliated Justice and Construction party, led by Misratan and former political prisoner under Gaddafi Mohammad Sawan, was created in March 2012. Sawan himself was not a candidate in the elections but wields significant influence as the head of the largest political party and most influential Islamist party in Libya.”
The July 14 meeting was attended by both Secretary Burns and Ambassador Christopher Stevens. On September 11, 2012, Ambassador Stevens and three other American diplomats were killed in a premeditated terrorist attack on US mission and CIA facilities in Benghazi.
An undated State Department cable revealed further courting of the LMB and its Justice and Construction Party. “Mohammad Sawan, Chairman of Justice and Construction Party, received yesterday at his office in Tripoli, Ambassadors of US, UK, FR and IT. The Ambassadors requested the meeting to get acquainted with the party’s position on the current events in Libya, the Government, the Party’s demand to sack the Prime Minister, the Constitution, GNC lifetime arguments, dialogue initiatives and Party’s assessment of political and security situation in Libya and the region. During the meeting, which took an hour and a half and attended by Mohammad Talb, party’s International Relations officer, and Hussam Naeli, acting liaison officer, Sawan explained that the Government has not been able to achieve any success in the core files such as security and local government, which both are under the direct supervision of the Prime Minister. Such a failure resulted in the lack of security, continuous assassinations, kidnappings, crimes, smuggling and attacks on public and private property, halt oil exports and disruption of water and electricity supply. Sawan stressed that a solution is possible and the party presented a clear solution, but the Government is not in harmony. He added we are responsible only for ministries that we take part in.”
The State Department cable noted that “On their part, the Ambassadors praised the active role of the Party in the political scene and confirmed their standing with the Libyan people and Government despite its weaknesses and they are keen to stabilize the region… At the end of the meeting, Sawan thanked his guests and all stressed the need to communicate. The guests affirmed that they will assist through Libyan legitimate entities as they did during the revolution.”

The story is from the Gulf News, which operates out of the Anti-Brotherhood UAE. Al-Hewar, which actually got hold of the documents, is linked to the International Institute of Islamic Thought… which is a Muslim Brotherhood front group.
Figures in the Muslim Brotherhood had threatened to leak understandings with Obama Inc. This is the next best thing. It warns Obama that if he tries to forget about them, they can prove that the relationship was official policy.

Obama gets win as Congress passes free-trade agreements

Obama gets win as Congress passes free-trade agreements


Congress resoundingly approved long-stalled trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama late Wednesday, authorizing the most significant expansion of trade relations in nearly two decades.
While the deals with Colombia and Panama are likely to have limited economic impact, the agreement with South Korea is designed to break down barriers between the United States and the world’s 15th-largest economy.
The South Korea deal has the potential to create as many as 280,000 American jobs, according to a recent assessment by the staff of the U.S. International Trade Commission, and to boost exports by more than $12 billion. Several major labor unions have warned that any gains will come at the cost of layoffs among American workers because of heightened competition from South Korean imports.
The South Korea deal is widely hailed as the most consequential trade pact since the North American Free Trade Agreement was ratified in 1994.
The House approved all three deals and was quickly followed by the Senate. Final approval of the agreements represents a victory for the Obama administration and congressional leaders in both parties, who have touted the trade pacts as a means to jump-start the flagging economy without additional government spending. Ratification of the agreements holds particular importance for President Obama, who has set a goal of doubling U.S. exports by 2015 and is facing a tough bid for reelection with unemployment stuck at 9.1 percent.
“I look forward to signing these agreements,” Obama said late Wednesday. He hailed passage as “a major win for American workers and businesses.”
“Tonight’s vote, with bipartisan support, will significantly boost exports that bear the proud label ‘Made in America,’ support tens of thousands of good-paying American jobs and protect labor rights, the environment and intellectual property,” Obama said.
A variety of U.S. industries are expected to benefit from the agreements. Producers of beef, dairy, pork and poultry products, chemicals, and plastics are all likely to increase exports to Korea. The banking and financial services industries could also be big winners, analysts said, benefiting from relaxed regulations and rules relating to foreign investment.
“These free-trade agreements will give our economy a much-needed shot in the arm and create tens of thousands of American jobs,” said Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.). “The passage of these agreements today is a significant victory for American workers and businesses, and will help create jobs here at home.”
Several Democrats and prominent labor unions, however, oppose the deals, arguing that they could help U.S. companies without bringing much benefit to U.S. workers, particularly if increased imports lead to widespread layoffs. Some also argue that the agreements serve to reward two countries, Panama and Colombia, that have been hostile to organized labor and international environmental standards.
“The truth is, I think this is going to cost us jobs,” said Clyde Prestowitz, a Reagan administration Commerce Department official who founded the nonpartisan Economic Strategy Institute. Prestowitz noted that South Korea is a major exporter of textiles, steel, machined parts and semiconductors, among other goods.
Overall, the agreement is expected to increase imports into the United States by as much as $7 billion, with the textile industry potentially being hardest hit.
“You can see how various American companies can benefit,” Prestowitz said. “It’s hard to see how the United States benefits.”
To soften the blow of increased imports, Congress also renewed the Trade Adjustment Assistance Program, which provides job retraining and temporary income support to workers who lose their jobs as a result of free-trade pacts — the final piece of a bipartisan agreement that cleared the way for ratification of the agreements after a nearly four-year wait.
The trade agreements are a central part of Obama’s strategy for increasing exports to drive economic growth. With U.S. consumer demand lacking, Obama is looking to sales abroad to fuel job creation at home.
The pacts were first negotiated under President George W. Bush but were updated by Obama to include more guarantees for labor and human rights and environmental protections. The pacts were recently held up in a dispute between Obama and congressional Republicans over renewing the worker assistance program.
During Obama’s bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, he tended to underscore the risks that free trade posed for U.S. workers and the environment rather than potential benefits.
But for much of the past year, passing the trade pacts has been a tenet of Obama’s plan to bolster the economic recovery, along with other measures including an overhaul of patent laws, which Congress passed last month.
Lately, though, the trade pacts have been relegated to a supporting role, because the number of jobs would, at most, be a mild economic stimulant. Obama is urging Congress to pass elements of his jobs plan, which is worth as much as $447 billion in fresh spending and tax cuts. The Senate voted Tuesday not to proceed with this plan in its current form.
On Wednesday, the congressional Joint Economic Committee warned that free trade often has high costs for workers, particularly those in the manufacturing industry, who tend to be older and without a college education.
The report said: “Given the already high national unemployment rate and depressed home values still evident in most states, policies that seek to liberalize trade may impose even larger costs on these workers, bolstering the need for additional investments in training or other forms of trade-adjustment assistance.”
In pursuing the trade pacts, Obama has aligned himself with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce over key labor groups, including the AFL-CIO and the Teamsters.
Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO, called the deals “lousy” in a speech in Washington this month.
Trumka asked: “Should we say yes to the Korea [pact], which will destroy 159,000 U.S. jobs? Should we approve an agreement with Colombia, where 51 trade unionists were assassinated last year? Should we trade away even more jobs to Panama, a country that routinely tramples workers’ rights and shelters money launderers and corporate tax dodgers?”
But Obama successfully enlisted support from other important members of the labor movement, including the United Auto Workers and the United Food and Commercial Workers. The unions tend to represent workers in industries that could gain from the pact.
The administration said this week that the South Korea pact would slash tariffs on 95 percent of U.S. exports of industrial and consumer goods and make it far easier for automakers and agricultural companies to sell their products into the $1 trillion economy. The administration also said it had worked out “high standards” for protecting labor rights and environmental concerns in its deals with Colombia and Panama.
Overall, the trade pacts with South Korea, Panama and Colombia could increase U.S. exports of goods by $12 billion or more a year. American companies will also have an easier time selling services in those countries, making the deals yet more advantageous. But the amount of goods imported is also likely to increase significantly, dampening the overall effect on the economy.
South Korean President Lee Myung-bak is to deliver a joint address to Congress Thursday and then travel with Obama on Friday to a General Motors plant near Detroit that is described as a likely beneficiary of the agreement.
Obama has a mixed history on trade. As a candidate in 2008, he questioned whether free-trade pacts give an edge to countries with low labor and environmental standards and criticized the North American Free Trade Agreement. Later in the campaign, however, he strongly endorsed trade agreements that addressed labor and environmental concerns.
The United States has similar agreements with 17 other nations, striking its last deal in 2007 with Peru. Other countries with such agreements include Canada, Israel and Australia.

Deleted sermons reveal close ties between Hamas-linked Muslim Brotherhood front group CAIR and the Oklahoma beheader’s mosque

Deleted sermons reveal close ties between Hamas-linked Muslim Brotherhood front group CAIR and the Oklahoma beheader’s mosque

Breitbart News was able to secure through direct URLs the past two Friday Khutbahs (sermons) preached at the ISGOC (Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City), which are believed to have been deleted from the Mosque’s website shortly after Islamic radical Alton Nolen (aka Jah’Keem Yisrael) beheaded an innocent woman at his workplace.

Breitbart News (h/t Mike F) has found evidence of inextricable bonds between the Oklahoma City Mosque and the Hamas-linked group CAIR (Council On American-Islamic Relations). During his September 19, 2014 sermon, Imam Imad Enchassi referred to CAIR Oklahoma City Executive Director Adam Soltani as someone who “doesn’t do anything without consulting me.”

After Alton Nolen’s beheading of an innocent woman, an unidentified man addressing the congregation said that “CAIR is handling this,” while showing no remorse and making no mention of the victim of the brutal murder.

Breitbart News has also learned that the Imam of the mosque did not truthfully reflect the words of Oklahoma State representative John Bennett in his criticism of Islamist ideologies. The Imam falsely claimed that Bennett had described “American Muslims” as a “cancer that need to be eliminated.”

Shortly after Bennett’s comments criticizing Islam, both CAIR Director Adam Soltani and ISGOC Imam Imad Enchassi had claimed just days prior to the beheading that Muslims and their children had been receiving death threats from Oklahoma residents; going as far as to say that Muslims and their children were under threat of being beheaded and were no longer safe in Oklahoma. Breitbart News has learned that the Imam claimed top FBI officials were called into the mosque to investigate claims of death threats against Muslims.

Below are the highlights of the past two Khutbahs at the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City:

Sermon Before Beheading, 9/19/2014:

Words believed to be spoken by Imam Imad Enchassi.

“The last two weeks, brothers and sisters in Islam, our din (religion) has been attacked.”

“We believe in freedom of expression. We believe in freedom of speech, but Subhan Allah (Glorious is God), this politician went above and beyond the freedom of speech. The prophet was attacked, many of the prophets of Islam Subhan Allah were attacked. But this particular politician went above and beyond… We are not passive Subhan Allah.”

John-Bennett-on-Muslims

“We have death threats against the two faces that aren’t shown on TV. and then i get some people saying: ‘why are you doing that for. You should be wise.’ This is not wisdom, this is cowardness.”

“Brothers and sisters of Islam, slaves and servants of Allah. John Bennett… Two weeks ago he put on his Facebook that you should be worried of all American Muslims, enticing violence against us. We went the right way. Soltani of CAIR doesn’t do anything without consulting with me. We went to his [Bennett’s] boss, which is the head of the republican party, in order to resolve this issue, and what we got is worse than what John Bennett actually said. Not only that, John Bennett went onto say that the Koran… 90% of the Koran is violent. We value freedom of speech. He can say whatever he wants to say. I don’t know which Koran he’s reading. He went to say that all Muslims… Or anybody who is under the banner of Islam is under the banner of ISIS.”

John-Bennett-response-to-CAIR

“This is coming from a state rep. who is in charge of anti-terrorism task force in the state of Oklahoma.”

“Two days ago he said Muslims and American Muslims are cancer that need to be eliminated. That’s when he crossed the line.”

“We did a press conference right at the Republican Party. If there’s any Muslims who are Republican, you need to talk to [the] CAIR representative here.”

“Law enforcement on all levels have called me. And after we pray… the head of the FBI will be here to address you. The supervisor of the FBI will be here to address you… and address your concerns. Hate speech will never be uttered by me, and hate speech that advocate violence against a minority is not okay.”

doj-cair

“at 4:00 O’clock today… there will be a rally. Muslims against ISIS. We do that… because we believe in Allah, and ISIS does not represent the Islamic faith. We do that so our neighbors could see that not all Muslims are ISIS, and we do that… Because we are being accused of being quiet about the atrocities being committed overseas.”

Sermon After Beheading, 9/26/2014:

Identity of Speaker Unknown.

“CAIR (Council On American-Islamic Relations) is handling this.. Its just one of these things we have to handle. So Don’t worry, live your life as usual–we will handle the media–we will handle this. This will only be inshallah (god willing) another bump in the road.”

The radicalism of the Council On American Islamic Relations. which was originally named the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee, was thoroughly documented in federal court when the group was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial, which was the largest terrorism financing case in United States history.

SYRIA: Islamic Terrorists bomb primary school, at least 48 dead, including 41 children

SYRIA: Islamic Terrorists bomb primary school, at least 48 dead, including 41 children

Not sure if this is the ‘work’ of ISIS or al-Nusra Front terrorists. Two car bombs were exploded in the central Syrian city of Homs on Wednesday afternoon near a school killing at least 48 people including 41 children.

Middle East Eye  (h/t Martin) The explosions took place as children were leaving school at the end of classes on Wednesday in a neighbourhood dominated by minority Alawites, a Shiite offshoot sect that President Bashar al-Assad belongs to.


The first blast was from a car bomb and was detonated in front of the Ekrimah primary school, followed minutes later by a suicide bomber who drove by and detonated his vehicle, state televison reported.It was the deadliest strike to hit the government-controlled area in over a year.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitoring group said the toll could rise as body parts were still being collected from the scene and several of the wounded were in serious condition.

Footage from the aftermath of the attack shows parents screaming and looking for their children amid scattered schoolbags and blood on the ground as a car burns nearby. In another clip, a man pulls the limp body of a young girl in a red dress covered in dust from the rubble, as blood trickles down her face. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.


Homs was once dubbed “the capital of the revolution” against Assad. Most of the city, including the shelled-out ruins of the Old Town, has returned to regime control after two years of bombardment and siege. Since re-capturing the city, Syrian forces have struggled to secure it. The district has been targeted more than once before, including on 19 June, when at least six people were killed in a car bomb attack.

“Homs is a city that is under the complete control of the regime who won the battle there months ago and yet you still find that the pro-regime communities are vulnerable to spectacular terrorist attacks,” said Aboud Dandachi, an IT worker from Homs who spoke to Middle East Eye via Skype from Istanbul. “The problem is that a lot of the checkpoints in and around the city are controlled by “Shabiha” so-called pro-government militias some of whom are easily bribed. 

Homs, a strategic city in central Syria close to the border with Lebanon, has been vital to the government and the rebels since the uprising broke out in 2011. The city has for years served as a kind of administrative capital as well as a hub through which major roads that crisscross Syria feed into.   

For the regime, control of Homs is a matter of life and death,” said Dandachi. “It is the gateway to cities across the country, Syria’s jugular vein. The regime would sacrifice huge chunks of Syria so long as it controls Homs. That is where the revolution should have succeeded.”

OKLAHOMA Police locate suspicious man with thick Arab accent who entered Moore High School and started asking about security 4 days before beheading by Muslim at Vaughn Foods in the same town

OKLAHOMA Police locate suspicious man with thick Arab accent who entered Moore High School and started asking about security 4 days before beheading by Muslim at Vaughn Foods in the same town

Police have made contact with an Arab man with a thick accent who entered Moore High School unauthorized. He allegedly asked suspicious questions about security to students and teachers at school. Specifically, he wanted to know how many police officers are present on campus each day and where is the nearest police station.

News on 6  (h/t Jeanne) According to Moore Schools Superintendent Robert Romines, a teacher was also approached by the man. The man allegedly inquired about enrolling his students at the school.

Moore Schools Administrators warned parents of the situation in a letter sent home with students, Wednesday. “Why did it take so long for this to come out?” asked Stephen Vaughn, while picking up his son after school.

The letter stated the principal was notified of the incident until Sept. 26, one day after the highly-publicized attack at Vaughan Foods in Moore. “Can’t go to school or work, always something to be worried about,” Vaughn said.

Vaughn was already on edge after learning the suspect, Alton Nolen admitted he beheaded a co-worker and stabbed another at Vaughan Foods in Sept. 25. Given the recent events, he said he is even more concerned the Arab man was able to gain access to his son’s school.

“We take this very seriously and that’s why we are working with Moore schools and they will possibly notice a difference in the patrol at the schools,” Lewis said two officers are always on duty at the school.

He also assured parents in a news conference the matter will be fully investigated. “It’s very concerning. This is something we need to fix as a police department and we need to fix this as a school district,” said Lewis.

Police located the individual, who is cooperating with investigators. He does not face any criminal charges, at this time.The Moore Police Department is encouraging students and teachers to be vigilant in reporting anyone or anything suspicious on a school campus.

ISIS threatens to crucify Lebanon’s Christians as the Islamic State prepares to cross Syria border

ISIS threatens to crucify Lebanon’s Christians as the Islamic State prepares to cross Syria border

LebanonChristians_LGChristians in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley have begun arming themselves in preparation for an ISIS (now known as the Islamic State) offensive as it seeks to expand its territorial control outside of Syria. For Christians, who comprise 20% of Lebanon’s population, it will be fight or flight. 

IB Times  Up to 3,000 militants from the Islamic State and other jihadists occupy the mountain range between Lebanon and Syria near the Sunni town of Arsal.

As ISIS seeks to grab land outside of the mountain caves and farms they currently control, Christian volunteers have now created village defence forces to protect against the Sunni militants who have taken up to 21 Lebanese soldiers and policemen hostage.

“We are a minority and we are under threat by the jihadists,” Rifaat Nasrallah, a commander of the volunteer guards in the Greek Catholic town of Ras Baalbek, said. “It wasn’t the idea of anyone in particular,” Nasrallah says of the formation of defence units. “The whole village felt in danger so we all agreed it was necessary.”

“We don’t shoot if we see someone or something moving in the mountains,” said one of the watchmen. “We just call the Army and they investigate.” Ras Baalbek has a population of 15,000 and is  separated from the flashpoint town of Arsal by a range of hills.

“Imagine if Islamic State makes it into Ras Baalbek and they crucify a Christian. It will set Lebanon alight,” a western diplomat in the Lebanese capital of Beirut, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Times. There are approximately 2.4m Chrisitans in Lebanon, 20% of the total population.

Christian-crucified-in-Syria-Copy

The terror group has continued to crack down on religious freedom since the announcement of its Islamic “caliphate”, straddling the Iraqi-Syrian border. The Sunni jihadists have taken over Iraq’s largest Christian town of Qaraqosh causing thousands of residents to flee towards Kurdistan region.

They also issued an ultimatum to Christians in the city of Mosul to convert to their radical form of Islam or be forced to either pay a tax, leave the city or be harmed for refusal to convert.

The city is now reportedly empty of Christians as hundreds of families fled following the ultimatum of death or a historic contract ‒ known as “dhimma”‒ where non-Muslims can receive protection if they pay a fee known as a “jizya.”

ISIS  has now beheaded it’s second of the nineteen hostages taken during the brief occupation of the North Lebanon border town of Arsal.

Car explodes outside synagogue in Atlantic City, arson suspected, media ignore

Car explodes outside synagogue in Atlantic City, arson suspected, media ignore

The American media, that is. We know it would be all over the front pages if a car exploded outside a mosque in America.

Car-300x336Times of Israel  A synagogue leader’s car exploded in a suspected arson attack in Atlantic City, NJ. Early Saturday, several hours after the close of Rosh Hashanah, police discovered a Ford Explorer engulfed in flames outside Congregation Rodef Sholom, an Orthodox shul. The fire caused severe damage to the parking lot and the synagogue’s outer walls, according to the Jewish Exponent of Philadelphia.

The car belonged to David Kushner, who serves as spiritual leader of the southern New Jersey synagogue though he is not an ordained rabbi. Kushner, who runs a wedding hall in Lakewood, NJ, learned about the fire when he showed up for Sabbath services the next morning.

“The car had been towed overnight immediately after the incident by the Fire Department for further investigation, so I saw charred remains,” Kushner told the Jewish Exponent, which quoted Kushner as saying that firemen were examining whether the blaze was a hate crime.

“The fact that in America in 2014, a rabbi’s car parked at his synagogue during Rosh Hashanah services could be engulfed in flames and the subject of arson is beyond comprehension,” Nancy Baron-Baer, the Anti-Defamation League’s regional director, told the Jewish Exponent. “Synagogues need to be alert every day.” (Not beyond comprehension when you know that Obama has been importing hundreds of thousands of Muslims into this country)

IRAQ: Raped, tortured, and forced to watch beheadings, Yazidi girls reveal the hell they endured from ISIS

IRAQ: Raped, tortured, and forced to watch beheadings, Yazidi girls reveal the hell they endured from ISIS

This little blonde girl is a Yazidi. There are many blonde-haired, blue-eyed Yazidis which makes ISIS hate them even more than other non-Muslims
 There are many blonde-haired, blue-eyed Yazidis. ISIS is calling for the blonde Yazidi women to be raped by Muslim men in order to get rid of the blonde-haired, blue-eyed gene among the Yazidi population 

Two Yazidi teenagers who escaped the clutches of ISIS (Islamic State) have revealed the horror of their capture and captivity. They describe being tortured and forced to watch videos of men from their community being beheaded. Some were so traumatized by their experiences that they tried to commit suicide. Those who failed were severely beaten by ISIS.

Global Post  15-year-old Sara had considered suicide many times during her month-long ordeal. The old man she had been given to as a “gift” beat her frequently. He taunted her with videos of Islamic State militants beheading her neighbors. On two occasions she said he drew blood from her arm with a large syringe, making her feel weak and sickly.

“They didn’t feed us much. I used to pass out a lot, but I would make trouble for him as much as possible and fight when I could,” Sara said, sitting under a tent in a makeshift camp for the displaced outside Duhok. “Many times I thought of suicide but I kept thinking of my family and my brother. I lived only for them.”

Sara is Yazidi, a member of a minority religious group from northern Iraq persecuted for centuries for its ancient beliefs. She still bears horrific scars across the left side of her body from a double truck bombing that struck her neighborhood in 2007 — when she was just 8 years old — killing almost 800 people and injuring more than 1,500.

Rape

To the Islamic State (IS) the Yazidis are infidels. When the terror group seized control of dozens of Yazidi villages in the region of Sinjar last month, they executed men and kidnapped thousands of women and children. Those assaults on Yazidis and other minority groups — and in particular, the IS threat against tens of thousands of  Yazidis trapped in the Sinjar Mountains — were a major reason US President Barack Obama cited for authorizing airstrikes against IS, also known as ISIS or ISIL, in Iraq. The US has since expanded those strikes to Syria.

The escaped women’s stories offer details about the Islamic State’s systematic violence against minority communities in Iraq, and insight into the group’s methods for imposing an extreme ideology and recruiting fighters to its cause.

article-2721043-2063C4BB00000578-11_964x641-e1407960572287

Sara’s ordeal began on Aug. 3 in the Sinjar village of Tal Azir, when IS launched its attack. Without a vehicle, she and her mother, her brother and his pregnant wife simply ran toward the nearby mountains. After two hours on foot, they reached a farmhouse where many of their neighbors and relatives had taken shelter on the edge of the mountain range.

Soon, IS had them surrounded. “There were about 20 cars. They all had heavy weapons,” said Sara. “They separated the men from the women. Some of the men tried to run. They shot them. They locked my mother in a room with some of the older women.” Sara said the younger Yazidi women were then loaded onto the backs of seven pickup trucks, some of the vehicles taken from villagers and others belonging to IS. She stuck close to her pregnant sister-in-law.

“I don’t know how many of us there were but they were pushing us into the trucks, as many as they could hold in each one,” she said. “The children they didn’t care about. Some women took their children. Others got left behind.”

Sara and her pregnant sister-in-law were also taken to Mosul.“There was a big hall with three floors and each floor had 5 or 6 rooms,” Sara said. “They told us if we didn’t convert to Islam they would kill all the men in our families, so we said to ourselves, ‘It’s just words. In our hearts we are still Yazidi.’ So I did it to save my brother.”

The IS captors passed out Korans to the women. Since many were illiterate, the men would read to them from the books. “They were always trying to tell us about religion,” Sara said. “In those few days they didn’t treat us so badly, but they were scary. They had dirty, hairy faces and they smelled bad.”

Later they gave the women niqabs to wear (most Yazidi women wear conservative Western-style clothing, and sometimes hijabs) before moving them to a new hall.

“A sheikh came and took away about 20 or 30 of the most beautiful girls,” Sara said, shielding her face from a gust of sand that blew through her family’s flimsy tent“Then a man said the married women would be sent to their husbands [if the husband had converted to Islam] to make a new Muslim family. They read out names and when a woman heard the name of her husband they came forward and were taken away. I stood with my sister-in-law waiting for my brother’s name. But they never read it. We were so sad that night. We thought maybe he didn’t convert yet or he was in another city.”

Sara was then split from her sister-in-law and sent to another room with single women and girls her age. Men would come daily and choose two or three women. She said some paid the captors money. Others said the women were their “gifts.” The women didn’t return. “We would try to make ourselves look ugly. Some women would cry or scream or fight, but it made no difference. They were always taken anyway,” Sara said. “One girl hung herself. Another tried, but the IS guards stopped her and beat her very badly. No one else tried after that.”

Sara made friends with 14-year-old Banaz. They vowed to stay together, no matter what. The day her friend was chosen, Sara refused to let her go, telling the man, “You take us both or you leave her here.” He took them both. They were driven to Fallujah, where they were passed to two local men she described as “an old man and a fat man” who lived together in a mansion she says they took from a local family.

Sara described beatings, degrading treatment and having so little food the two girls were always frail and sick. The men also made them watch videos of Yazidi men being beheaded.

“In some [videos] they put the heads into cooking pots,” she recalled, cringing at the memory. “Sometimes they would stand on them. There were so many heads. And they would ask us, ‘Do you know this one?’ and laugh.” Sara described the men holding her as members of IS from Fallujah — possibly former Sunni extremists who had only recently joined the terror group.

The Yazidi Fraternal Organization, formally based in Sinjar but now working from the Kurdish capital Erbil, has registered the names of more than 12,000 missing Yazidis — 5,000 women and 7,000 men — believed to have been killed or captured during a three-day period beginning Aug. 3.

At least 47 of the women have since escaped. They tell tales of rape, forced marriage and enslavement. Many, like Sara, say they were given to IS fighters as wives or sold as slaves for prices ranging from $100 to $1,000. Late last month, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported 300 cases of Yazidi women transported to Syria by IS, some of whom were then sold in Aleppo in a human trade market.

For 19-year-old Leila, the horror began as she tried to flee on foot from her village in Sinjar with her husband and his family. When IS vehicles caught up to them, militants forced the men to lie face down on the ground. Then they shot them, including boys as young as 14. Leila watched as her husband was executed.

The women were bundled into the backs of pickup trucks. Leila clung to one-year-old Murad, her only child, as the women were driven to the town of Sebai. In separate interviews, Sara and Leila, who do not know each other, gave similar accounts of what they saw on the drive through this part of Sinjar.

“We drove past so many bodies. Even the bodies of children,” Leila said. She sits now in the home of a relative in Duhok, holding baby Murad tightly in her arms.

Leila was eventually taken to Mosul, she said, and held in a hall with more than a thousand other women. They compared stories: Most often their men had been lined up and shot. Others had been taken away in trucks. “[IS] told us we must convert to Islam,” she said. “We refused and they left us alone for 10 days.” Food continued to arrive, but the men stopped bringing milk for her baby.

Then things changed.“They started to take the women away. Sometimes they let them bring their babies along, but other times they refused.” Leila said some women would disappear for several days, then return to the hall. Others never came back. Some of the men coming to choose women, mostly local Iraqis, looked as old as 70, Leila said.

Parwen Aziz of the Kurdistan National Congress has heard dozens of similar stories of capture and mass execution from members of the Yazidi community, which has sought refuge in the Kurdish-controlled region of Iraq. Aid workers assisting the Yazidis have heard them, too. Aziz has been lobbying the Kurdish government and aid groups to provide more support for escaped IS prisoners like Sara, who started turning up here about six weeks ago. 

3000-Yazidi-women-kidnapped

Aziz said there were early fears that Yazidi women who returned from captivity may be rejected or even killed by their own families, due to local concepts of honor. However, she hasn’t heard of any women with surviving family members who weren’t welcomed back.

Her concern has now turned to the risk of suicide among survivors due to trauma, shame or hopelessness.

“Psychological support programs are not accepted here so we are trying to start income programs that will help [women] psychologically at the same time,” she said. “Some of these women do not want to talk at all. They need time. Some of them speak of frequent rape, up to six times a day. Others were not tortured or raped at all. Their situations vary often according to age or the area where they were held.”

British jihadists threaten ‘imminent’ terror attack to avenge UK airstrikes


British jihadists threaten ‘imminent’ terror attack to avenge UK airstrikes

British jihadists fighting in Syria have threatened to launch a terror attack in Britain in a mark of retribution against UK airstrikes in Iraq. They claim the attack would parallel the 7/7 London bombings and beheading of soldier Lee Rigby.
Reacting to Royal Air Force (RAF) missions that have struck Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) militants, vehicles, and positions, a British jihadist based in the Middle East delivered an in-depth interview via social media on Wednesday.
He said that those who have travelled to war-torn Syria to fight in the region could potentially return to conduct attacks in Britain.
“Tell the Brit govt to withdraw unless they want the days of 7/7, and Adebolajo [to] become regular days,” he warned, referencing Michael Adebolajo, one of two young men who murdered Rigby in Woolwich last year.
Reflecting on the statement, senior fellow at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR) Shiraz Maher, told The Times that the jihadists were claiming Britain “is putting itself in the firing [line] because of UK intervention.”
“This man is with a group of British fighters. I would classify him as one of the more moderate ones and yet this is what he is saying,” he added.
A separate IS militant, who hails from Coventry and has adopted the alias Abu Musab al-Jazairi, took to social media to warn Britons they would be held responsible for the actions of the UK government, the Times revealed on Thursday.
“To the people in the UK – because of the actions of your government it will be you who will pay the price, blame them and not us. Everything and everyone will be targeted, it is only a matter of time before it happens inshallah [God willing],” al-Jazairi said on Twitter.
His account has since been deactivated.
At least four British jihadists have lost their lives in Syria since a US-led coalition – assembled to tackle the Islamic State – began airstrikes in the region. France, America, and a number of Gulf states extended strikes from Iraq into Syria last week.

The Times reports three of the deceased Britons originally hailed from East London’s Tower Hamlets, which is populated by a vibrant Muslim community. They are thought to come from the borough’s Bangladeshi district. The fourth British casualty, Ibrahim Kamara, was a 19-year-old student from Brighton.
All of the deceased British jihadists in question were reportedly fighting with the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front, which has battled stringently against President Assad’s forces, as well as IS.
Several of them initially embarked on a journey to Syria to carry out charity work but subsequently became involved with the Nusra Front, according to The Times.
A Nusra jihadist from Britain warned researchers from ICSR that it was “showdown time against the barbaric Yankees and their poodles.”
“I doubt if British ISIS supporters & loyalists planning to go to Iraq and Sham [Syria] would want to go now. They could start attacking all round the UK. Cameroun (sic) is a dumb puppy,” the fighter said.
“They should withdraw from the crusade before it’s too late...these guys aren’t afraid of death, the[y] rush towards it,” he added.
The British jihadist claimed the Nusra Front had no prior plans to launch an attack on the UK, but now seeks revenge unless British Special Forces withdraw from the Middle East.
He referenced the withdrawal of Spanish forces from Iraq following the 2004 Madrid train bombings as the most strategic path for the British government. He also warned that Western intervention in Syria is likely to drive a reunion between IS and Nusra, following their split earlier in 2014.
In response to the rise of IS in Iraq and Syria, the government raised the UK’s terror threat level from ‘substantial’ to ‘severe’ at the end of August.
MPs voted on Friday to join US, French, and Arab airstrikes against IS positions in Iraq, but not in Syria.
On Thursday morning, Royal Air Force (RAF) Tornados attacked an IS position in northern Iraq, and launched a targeted precision strike on an armed vehicle. The operation was allegedly carried out in support of Kurdish forces in the region, and was reported to be “successful” by the Ministry of Defence (MOD).
