What Beck revealed about Boston bombings’ mysterious Saudi national

This is a follow-up on my post of April 20, 2013, “What about that other Boston bombings suspect, the Saudi national?”

Immediately after the two bombs detonated near the finish line of the Boston Marathon a week ago on April 15, 2013, the media identified a “Saudi national” as a “suspect” and told us that he was detained and questioned by law enforcement, then taken to a hospital to be treated for shrapnel wounds and severe burn. Quickly, the media changed its story and stopped calling the Saudi a “suspect” but a “person of interest” instead. Then, the media seemed to have lost all interest in the “Saudi national.”

“Saudi national” Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi in a Boston hospital

So the Alternate Media stepped in to pick up this story. We are told that:

• The name of the “Saudi national” is Abdulrahman Al-harbi or  variations thereof.
• A day after the bombings, Obama had an unscheduled meeting with the Saudi foreign minister.
• The “Saudi national” reportedly was paid a visit by none other than FLPOS Michelle.
• Then we learn that the “Saudi national” would be deported under section 212 3B as a “national security threat,” only to have the story change again by DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano to Alharbi not being deported.
• A congressional source said that a file on Alharbi had been created, that he was “linked” in some way to the Boston bombings (though it is unclear how), and that documents showing all this have been sent to Congress.
• On Sunday, TheBlaze reported that the House Committee on Homeland Security is officially requesting more information about Alharbi.
• According to Fox News reporter Todd Starnes, a source purportedly familiar with the investigation said Alharbi had been flagged on a terror watch list, and improperly granted a student visa although he was deemed inadmissible under the section of the Immigration and Nationality Act which declares ineligible for a visa, any foreign national who is or is likely to engage in terrorist activity.

Last Thursday, Glenn Beck issued an ultimatum to the Obama regime. If the White House doesn’t come clean on the “Saudi national” by Monday (today, April 22), Beck would reveal what he knows about the man. The following is what Beck revealed today in his radio program, taken from an account published in Beck’s TheBlaze:

• While the media continues to look at the two Tsarnaev brothers, there were three people “involved” in the Boston Marathon bombings and the first of the three is the Saudi national.

• That the Saudi national was tagged as a “212 3B” (to be deported on grounds of national security) is significant because that is the equivalent in civil society of charging someone with premeditated murder and seeking the death penalty.

• But Alharbi’s file was changed last Wednesday at 5:35 p.m., which is unheard of due to the severity of “212 3B.” Only someone at the very highest levels of the State Department could make that alteration so quickly.

• Alharbi has been in the United States for six months. His student visa specifically allows him to go to school in Findley, Ohio, but he has an apartment in Boston, Massachusetts. 

• Why wasn’t the Congressional Committee on Homeland Security notified? Why are they being cut out of all information? This is protocol.

• Sources tell Beck this will most likely now be kicked from the DHS to the DOJ and labeled an ongoing investigation that can no longer be discussed. This will be the reason Napalitano won’t answer the Homeland Security Committee’s request for a briefing. Like Benghazi, the Obama administration are engaged in a disinformation campaign floating a variety of scenarios to confuse the media to prevent the story from being pursued. They are also working very hard to discredit those on the scent.

• The questionable relationship between Saudi Arabia and the United States goes back further than the current administration. Multiple news outlets reported after 9/11 that prominent Saudis were allowed to leave the country, even as all flights were grounded. The Bush administration would later block the investigation into Saudi involvement into 9/11, even though 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis, and would eventually force the redaction of a 28-page chapter of the 9/11 Commission report regarding foreign, specifically Saudi, support for some of the Al-Qaeda hijackers.

• But the Obama administration has taken that relationship to a whole new level. On January 14, 2013, Obama met with Saudi Minister of Interior. Two days later Janet Napolitano signed agreement with Saudi minister allowing “trusted traveler” status on Saudi student visitors, meaning greatly reduced security checks and scrutiny.

• Beck: “This is trusted traveler status that we don’t give to some of our most trusted allies, and we gave it to Saudi Arabia last January? So they can just walk into our country no questions asked? There is a pattern. There is a relationship between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia the American public doesn’t know about. The case of Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi is only the latest example.”

• Beck concluded by calling on the American people to “call your congressmen right now. There are congressmen who are aware of this, have seen the documentation — they need your support, they need your help…If we do not stand up, [Alharbi] is on a plane tomorrow or he is already gone.”

H/t FOTM’s CSM

Update: Doug Giles of Clash Daily says over 10 names from Alharbi’s clan are members of Al-Qaeda.

Persecuted by militant Islam, Christianity is close to extinction in Middle East

Nothing can be sadder in this Christmas season than the news that Christianity is facing imminent extinction in the land of its birth.

And the cause is the systematic and mounting persecution of Christians by militant Muslims. In fact, persecution by the “religion of peace” is now the greatest threat to Christians across the world.

Edward Malnick reports for The Telegraph, Dec. 23, 2012, that a new report entitled Christianophobia, by the think tank Civitas says “It is generally accepted that many faith-based groups face discrimination or persecution to some degree. A far less widely grasped fact is that Christians are targeted more than any other body of believers” and suffer greater hostility across the world than any other religious group. As many as 200 million Christians, or 10 per cent of Christians worldwide, are “socially disadvantaged, harassed or actively oppressed for their beliefs.”

The most common threat to Christians abroad is militant Islam. The “lion’s share” of persecution faced by Christians is in countries where Islam is the dominant faith. “Muslim-majority” states make up 12 of the 20 countries judged to be “unfree” on the grounds of religious tolerance by Freedom House, the human rights think tank.

Quoting estimates that between a half and two-thirds of Christians in the Middle East have left the region or been killed in the past century, the Civitas report concludes “There is now a serious risk that Christianity will disappear from its biblical heartlands.”

The report identifies a fear among oppressive regimes that Christianity is a “Western creed” which can be used to undermine them. The report catalogs hundreds of attacks on Christians by religious fanatics over recent years, focusing on seven countries: Egypt, Iraq, Pakistan, Nigeria, India, Burma and China.

• Converts from Islam face being killed in Saudi Arabia, Mauritania and Iran, or risk severe legal penalties in other countries across the Middle East.

• In Iraq, the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq left Iraqi Christians “more vulnerable than ever”, highlighted by the 2006 beheading of a kidnapped Orthodox priest, Fr Boulos Iskander, and the kidnapping of 17 other priests and two bishops between 2006 and 2010. “In most cases, those responsible declared that they wanted all Christians to be expelled from the country,” the report says.

• In Pakistan, the murder last year of Shahbaz Bhatti, the country’s Catholic minister for minorities, “vividly reflected” religious intolerance in Pakistan. Shortly after his death it emerged that Mr Bhatti had recorded a video in which he declared: “I am living for my community and for suffering people and I will die to defend their rights. I prefer to die for my principles and for the justice of my community rather than to compromise. I want to share that I believe in Jesus Christ, who has given his own life for us.”

• In India, Christians have faced years of violence from Hindu extremists. In 2010 scores of attacks on Christians and church property were carried out in Karnataka, a state in south west India.

• In Burma, while many people are aware of the oppression faced in Burma by Aung San Suu Kyi and other pro-democracy activists, little exposure has been given to targeted abuse of Christians. In some areas of Burma the government has clamped down on Christian protesters by restricting the building of new churches. Christians employed in government service who openly profess their faith “find it virtually impossible to get promotion.”

• In China, where more Christians are imprisoned than in any other country in the world, state hostility towards Christianity is particularly rife. Ma Hucheng, an advisor to the Chinese government, claimed in an article last year that the US has backed the growth of the Protestant Church in China as a vehicle for political dissidence. Writing in the China Social Sciences Press, Ma claims that “Western powers, with America at their head, deliberately export Christianity to China and carry out all kinds of illegal evangelistic activities. Their basic aim is to use Christianity to change the character of the regime…in China and overturn it.”

But the persecution and oppression of Christians in Muslim countries is often ignored by the media because of a fear that criticism will be seen as “racism”. Politicians, too, have been “blind” to the extent of violence faced by Christians in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

Rupert Shortt, journalist and author of the Civitas report who’s a visiting fellow of Blackfriars Hall, Oxford, says:

“Exposing and combating the problem ought in my view to be political priorities across large areas of the world. That this is not the case tells us much about a questionable hierarchy of victimhood. The blind spot displayed by governments and other influential players is causing them to squander a broader opportunity. Religious freedom is the canary in the mine for human rights generally.”

Visual Aid for WW III?

This was uploaded in March 2011.  The Middle East situation has gotten much more intense over the past year.   I think it’s time to read Ezekiel 38

I Hope London is Ready

I don’t know how many of you are aware that this year marks the 40th Anniversary of the 1972 Munich Olympics where the Munich Massacre took place. Palestinian terrorists took nine Israeli athletes, coaches and officials hostage, two were killed almost immediately and the others were killed later during a rescue attempt.

Here we are 40 years later and after doing some checking and a little investigating, I’m beginning to get a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach and things are starting to add up.

1. Olympic park is only about 2.6 miles from the London Borough of Tower Hamlets which according to the London census of 2001 had the largest Muslim population of all the London Buroughs at 71,389.

2. On July 7, 2005, the day after London won its bid for the 2012 Olympics, London suffered its first terrorist bombing and attempted bombings again in 2005 and 2007, this century. I don’t believe these were a coincidence but rather an early test of London’s security, granted these attacks took place years ago but what better way to lure their police and security forces into a false sense of security.

3. This year for the first time ever, Saudi Arabia is allowing its women to compete in the Olympics and seeing that more suicide attacks are being carried out by women recently, I believe this is just a little too convenient.

I sincerely hope I’m wrong and that this feeling I’m having  is just the result of an over active imagination.

Saudi Grand Mufti: Destroy all Christian churches

A mufti is a jurist who interprets Muslim religious law.

Grand Mufti is the title given to the titular head of the Muslim community. The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia is Sheik Abdul Aziz al ash-Shaikh, 72, the equivalent of the Catholic Church’s pope. He’s been blind since 1960.

The blind Grand Mufti has just declared it necessary to destroy all Christian churches in the Middle East region. In so doing, Sheik Abdul puts the lie to Muslims’ insistence that Islam’s God is the same as the God of Judaism and Christianity, and that Muslims respect Jews and Christians as all “People of the Book.”

Saudi Grand Mufti Sheik Abdul Aziz Al-Asheikh

As reported by an editorial in The Washington Times on March 16, 2012:

On March 12, Sheik Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, the grand mufti of Saudi Arabia, declared that it is “necessary to destroy all the churches of the region.” The ruling came in response to a query from a Kuwaiti delegation over proposed legislation to prevent construction of churches in the emirate. The mufti based his decision on a story that on his deathbed, Muhammad declared, “There are not to be two religions in the [Arabian] Peninsula.” This passage has long been used to justify intolerance in the kingdom. Churches have always been banned in Saudi Arabia, and until recently Jews were not even allowed in the country. Those wishing to worship in the manner of their choosing must do so hidden away in private, and even then the morality police have been known to show up unexpectedly and halt proceedings.

This is not a small-time radical imam trying to stir up his followers with fiery hate speech. This was a considered, deliberate and specific ruling from one of the most important leaders in the Muslim world. It does not just create a religious obligation for those over whom the mufti has direct authority; it is also a signal to others in the Muslim world that destroying churches is not only permitted but mandatory.

Being not just a mufti but a grand mufti, the sheik’s declaration that it is “necessary to destroy all the churches of the region,” therefore is a fatwa — a juristic ruling concerning Islamic law.

Not only is the sheik’s declaration unreported by the useless MSM, the fatwa also went without any comment, even less a condemnation, by the Obama administration.

The Washington Times notes:

If the pope called for the destruction of all the mosques in Europe, the uproar would be cataclysmic. Pundits would lambaste the church, the White House would rush out a statement of deep concern, and rioters in the Middle East would kill each other in their grief. But when the most influential leader in the Muslim world issues a fatwa to destroy Christian churches, the silence is deafening. [...]

The Obama administration ignores these types of provocations at its peril. The White House has placed international outreach to Muslims at the center of its foreign policy in an effort to promote the image of the United States as an Islam-friendly nation. This cannot come at the expense of standing up for the human rights and religious liberties of minority groups in the Middle East. The region is a crucial crossroads. Islamist radicals are leading the rising political tide against the authoritarian, secularist old order. They are testing the waters in their relationship with the outside world, looking for signals of how far they can go in imposing their radical vision of a Shariah-based theocracy. Ignoring provocative statements like the mufti’s sends a signal to these groups that they can engage in the same sort of bigotry and anti-Christian violence with no consequences.

Mr. Obama’s outreach campaign to the Muslim world has failed to generate the good will that he expected. In part, this was because he felt it was better to pander to prejudice than to command respect. When members of the Islamic establishment call for the religious equivalent of ethnic cleansing, the leader of the free world must respond or risk legitimizing the oppression that follows. The United States should not bow to the extremist dictates of the grand mufti, no matter how desperate the White House is for him to like us.

Alas, The Washington Times’ counsel that Obama should condemn what the Saudi Grand Mufti said will fall on deaf ears. Have we already forgotten this famous bow to the Saudi king in 2009?

Thankfully, since Islam is not (yet) a unified political religion, but is divided at least into the Sunni and Shia sects, dissenting Muslim voices are already criticizing the Grand Mufti’s call to “destroy all the churches” in the Gulf region.

Turkey’s top imam, Mehmet Görmez, said he cannot accept the Grand Mufti’s fatwa because it runs contrary to the centuries-old Islamic teachings of tolerance and the sanctity of institutions belonging to other religions.

Saudi Arabia wants “tolerance”

Saudi-backed center for religious tolerance signed into being, sparking hopes and concerns

From the ignorant Washington Post:  Saudi Arabia inaugurated an interfaith center in Vienna Thursday and its foreign minister said he hoped the spirit of tolerance embodied by the new institution will help change his conservative Muslim country, which prohibits any religion except Islam.

The statement by Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal was an unusually clear declaration of intent by Saudi Arabia’s rulers to work for religious and societal reforms from abroad in the face of domestic opposition to rapid change.

The center has ignited debate. Backers hope it will promote increased tolerance in Saudi Arabia, a kingdom that now prohibits any religion outside of Islam. Detractors, including Austria’s Green party and moderate Muslim groups in Austria say the Saudis are the last people who should be hosting initiatives on religious coexistence.

Ahead of Thursday’s inauguration ceremonies, the daily Der Standard cited Rabbi David Rosen of the American Jewish Committee as criticizing Saudi plans to exercise initial leadership oversight of the institution, saying it had to be “totally independent.”

Wahhabism — the strain of Sunni Islam that is practiced in Saudi Arabia — is considered one of the religion’s most conservative. Some of its tenets were hijacked by Osama bin Laden and other terrorists to justify their acts.

Strict interpretations of the faith have left Saudi women without the right to drive or to go out without permission from a male relative. They have also have tattered ties with Islam’s other major branch, Shiism, that have exposed deep rivalries between Saudi Arabia and predominantly Shiite Iran.

In Vienna to launch the interfaith center, Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal’s comments focused on the “King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz International Centre for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue” — and he appeared keen to dispel skepticism about his country’s commitment to make it a focal point of interfaith dialogue and tolerance.

In an unsually fortright statement reflecting the Saudi leadership’s push for change, the minister said he hoped “the center will take the lead” in making Saudi Arabia a more tolerant society. “Saudi Arabia is willing to financially participate in this project, and to place all its moral and political resources behind such a center, without infringing … on its autonomy or independence from any political interference,” he told officials and reporters.

And he warned against “extremist minorities within every religious and cultural community … seeking … to propagate notions of intolerance, exclusion, racism and hatred.  “These tiny minorities,” he said, “are trying to hijack and disrupt the legitimate identities and aspirations of people of all cultures and faiths.”

He wants to make Saudi Arabia a more tolerant society? If he wanted to help change his conservative Muslim country, then why not open the interfaith center in say, Saudi Arabia? Oh yeah, we know why.  What a crock.

What Happened to That Gold Necklace?

In the year 1776, on July 4th, thirteen colonies in North America declared independence from King George III and the British Empire.

Thus began the Revolutionary War that eventually succeeded in establishing a new and independent country called the United States of America. Its founders insisted that the new America be a republic instead of a monarchy.

233 years later, in 2009, the President of the United States of America showed obeisance to the king of Saudi Arabia by bowing to him.

In recognition of that gesture of servility, King Abdullah bin Abdul-Aziz gifted Skippy with a big chunky gold necklace:

Under U.S. federal law, gifts received by the President of the United States are NOT to be kept by the recipient because they are deemed gifts to the Office, not the person, of the Presidency. The gifts are to be kept in the White House collection as part of America’s history and legacy.

Joseph, who sent the video to me, writes: “I’d like to see the catalogue that shows all the gifts and where they now are….”

Yes, I too want to know where that solid gold necklace is!

PC gone amok…

What is wrong with this picture?

American flag lowered in presence of Saudi Arabian flag at Ft. Collins public school

Via Fox News:   An elementary school in Colorado has come under criticism after they lowered the American flag and elevated a Saudi Arabian flag. 

The principal at Bauder Elementary School in Fort Collins said they did not mean to disrespect the American flag, according to a report in the Greeley Gazzette. 

Principal Brian Carpenter told the newspaper that the American flag was immediately returned to its proper and prominent position at the school. He explained that other flags are posted around the school to recognize the nationalities of students from other countries. 

A photograph showing the raised Saudi flag alongside the lowered American flag was first posted on the Greeley Report, a local blog. It generated lots of local debate.  “We realize this is an extremely sensitive time with us getting close to the 10th anniversary of 9/11,” Carpenter told the Gazzette. 

“There is an increased amount of alertness and sensitivity, but if someone is concerned about something to do with our flag I will settle the issue right away.”

Enough with the PC “sensitivity” crap!  We live in the United States of America!  Fly Old Glory and wave her proudly!

Those that originate from other countries have the option to fly their country’s flag where ever they want -  in their home, on their car, and on their body (a tattoo comes to mind).  We must not bow to pressure to place any other country’s flag above that of the great United States of America!

Warning, you’ll need duct tape To Stop Head Explosion

Just when we thought we were done with little Weiner, here comes Momma Weiner. Check out her Bona Fides Below. They are destroyin us from within.

 OK , is any one else wondering what sort of vetting Huma went thru. Consider the story below and tell me she should be in Sec Of State office.

Huma Abedin Weiner

Posted by T L C on June 20, 2011 at 2:16pm

Send Message View T L C’s blog

 

Through all the talk about Anthony Weiner we have mostly listened to jokes about his private parts and his name. His wife was often mentioned as a victim to his online tomfoolery. Today I want to talk about his wife, Huma Abedin Weiner.

In 1996, while Bill Clinton was president, he and Hillary met Huma while on a trip to Saudi Arabia. It’s unclear what transpired, but she ended up in Washington DC with close ties to the Clintons. We now know she is Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s deputy Chief of Staff. This is a very sensitive position so we would think Huma was well vetted.

Huma Abedin Weiner is a devout Muslim. Her brother, Hassan, works at the Oxford Center for Islamic Studies (OCIS) at Oxford University. He has close ties with the Muslim Brotherhood. The Egyptian Al-Azhar University, is well known for a curriculum that encourages extremism and terrorism, and is active in establishing links with OCIS.

Huma’s mother is co-founder of the Dar El-Hekma women’s college in Saudi Arabia, which has close ties to the Muslim Sisterhood, the female version of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Sisterhood is also known as International Women’s Organization (IWO).

We watched in Egypt as the left sided with the Muslim Brotherhood to take over the country. We are watching the same thing in Libya, only this time we have sent American forces to help the very same people we are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The left, no matter whether it’s from America or Europe, defends the Muslims at all cost, while making Israel out to always be the bad guy. We are fighting Islamic extremist, and their biggest allies are sitting inside our own government, the Democratic Party. With Huma Abedin Weiner having access to so much classified material, the radicals could(edit) know our every move.

I have written in the past asking why we have not experienced any major terrorist attacks. I now know the answer. They have no need to destroy or attack what they are taking over from within. The Islamic radicals learned from history when Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev, the former head of the Soviet Union, said that the communist would take over the USA from within, not with weapons. The left is using our schools and televisions to slowly, methodically give over our country to the radical Islamists, who are also the radical left.

You can’t turn on the television without hearing how bad Christianity is, while they defend Islam. Sheila Jackson Lee (D, Texas) is not alone when she stood before the podium and said that Christian abortion clinic bombers were comparable to the 9/11 terrorist, or the countless other Islamic terrorists.

America, we are at war, and the enemy is not across an ocean, it lies within our own borders.

Edited 6/20/2011

I’d like to add; I am making no claims to Huma’s loyalty to our country. She might be doing the job as well as any natural born American. I am sure the Clintons trust Huma. Do we trust the Clintons?

I am more concerned that the media is not talking about the things mentioned above. Even the right wing talkers are not mentioning her background. We need a media that will vet the people who have close ties with government officials. The American people should know when people holding sensitive positions have family ties to questionable organizations. The Tea Party’s greatest weapon is knowledge

CNN’s Fake Gulf War Reporting

This is a CNN broadcast about the Gulf War in 1991, by correspondent Charles Jaco ostensibly reporting live from Saudi Arabia. Jaco faked it. He was reporting from some studio.

H/t Vigilant Citizen.

When this video was uploaded to YouTube, Jaco claims that he indeed was reporting live — from “the roof of a hotel and military facility near the intersection of the two main runways at the Dhahran Air Base, Western Province, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The playwood background was erected as a guard against sand and wind storms. The clowning around on the video is just that. We used black humor to deflect the tension of covering SCUD missile assaults.”

Alas, Jaco’s protestation lacks credibility in view of his employment history.

In 1994, Charles Jaco left his prestigious high-visibility job as a globe-trotting correspondent for an international TV network, CNN, to join KMOX, a radio station in St. Louis, MO. In 2003 he became a reporter and anchor for KTVI television in St. Louis. In 2009, Jaco went to another radio station in St. Louis, KTRS 550, doing a daily morning talk show. On October 6, 2010 Jaco resigned from KTRS.

The video of Jaco’s fake live-reporting recently resurfaced on the blogosphere. Jaco is threatening to sue anyone who posts the video and has sent a letter to a blogger that reads:

“I have just now come across a false and defamatory posting on your website from July 28, 2009 titled ‘Did Charles Jaco Fake a Desert Storm CNN Report’. I’m adding your email and your website to the list being sent to my attorneys.

[...] my attorneys intend to act immediately against those of you receiving this who have sent and forwarded these emails accusing me of falsifying coverage. We are in the process of issuing subpeonas to ISPs for the real names and addresses of the senders. We shall then proceed with lawsuits against those parties. In addition, letters are being sent to LiveLink and Google (owner of YouTube) and their attorneys demanding the videos be removed.”

Jaco, you will have to sue a lot of people including Pat Buchanan, who wrote this in 2009:

“Charles Jaco was the CNN reporter famous for covering the 1990 Persian Gulf War. The first part of this video shows the stage set he was on, and he was clowning around with fellow CNN staff. The Saudi Arabian “hotel” in the background were fake palm trees and a blue wall in a studio. This clip was leaked by CNN staff. This video is FAIR USE depicting an historical event. I encourage this video to be downloaded, and re-uploaded to other websites to get more people to see this.”

The above Buchanan quote is on a blog called The Dana Show, with an embedded link back to Buchanan’s official website. Alas, when I clicked that link, I was brought to this message on Buchanan’s website:

Error 404: Not Found

Sorry, the page you were looking does not exist.

Looks like Jaco got to Buchanan.

Please help Jaco’s attorney’s fee-billing by making this go viral. E-mail this to your friends and re-post this on your blog!
