Dutch Secret Service investigated Geert Wilders’ ‘ties to Israel and their possible influence on his loyalty’

Breathtaking. This shows how thoroughly the Dutch establishment has been compromised by its avidity to appease Islamic supremacists and pretend that the massive influx of Muslim migrants is not transforming Dutch society for the worse. Like dhimmi Middle Eastern Christians who adopt the Muslim perspective on Israel, they, too, have adopted the notion that support for and alliance with Israel is something nefarious, something to be investigated.

Many swamps are in dire need of draining.

“Report: Dutch Secret Service Investigated Far-right Leader’s Ties to Israel,” by Shlomo Papirblat, Haaretz, December 5, 2016:

BRUSSELS – Geert Wilders, leader of Holland’s far-right anti-Muslim Party of Freedom, was investigated in the past by the country’s General Intelligence and Security Service (AVID) over his “ties to Israel and their possible influence on his loyalty.”

Wilders, whose party is leading the polls ahead of the upcoming election in March, is likely to be a key figure in the next government.

The undercover investigation was exposed over the weekend by the veteran daily De Volkskrant. According to the article, AVID agents conducted the investigation from 2009 to 2010, with its existence and results remaining unknown until now. The Dutch central intelligence organization is in charge of safeguarding internal national security, handling non-military dangers to the country and preventing espionage.

An investigation of this kind into an active politician is an exceptional occurrence in Holland, the newspaper noted. If conducted, it is only in cases in which there are very reasonable grounds for suspicion. Wilders was a member of parliament at the time, with his party supporting the right-center coalition government from the outside and enabling it to remain in power.

The reason for the investigation, according to the newspaper, was concern in the Dutch security service about “the possibility that Geert Wilders is influenced by Israeli factors,” with whom he had close ties. He visited Israel at the end of 2008, meeting with “Gen. Amos Gilad in his office in the main military headquarters in Tel Aviv, and regularly attended meetings with Israel’s ambassador to Holland at the time,” according to De Volkskrant….

What Made America Great?

It’s over, done, finished. All the energy that was poured into the U.S. Presidential election for over a year, has finally come to an end. It’s time to stop all the whining, blame, complaint, negativity and victim consciousness. It’s time to speak freely once more without worrying about “political correctness”. It’s time for everyone to come together to make America great again. We may differ on how that’s to be achieved, but surely we can all agree on the goal.

What are the qualities and values that made America the richest and greatest country in the world: the country that was, and is, a beacon of hope for people everywhere? The first and most important thing is freedom; freedom from fear, oppression, tyranny, dictatorship and from government interfering into the personal lives of it’s citizens. The American Constitution was the first to put the individual ahead of the government. “We the People”. The Founding Fathers had escaped from political and religious oppression, therefore they wanted to create a system of checks and balances that would limit government power. The Statue of Liberty is a symbol of what America stands for–Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These values were enshrined in the Constitution and made America unique in the history of the world.

Another factor our Founding Fathers thought important was religious freedom. They recognized the existence of a supreme Being and the need for each person to worship that God in whatever way they expressed their faith. (At that time it was mainly the Christian faith, but it has expanded since). Religion, the Christian work ethic and prosperity were closely aligned. The phrase, “In God We Trust”, is printed on all American bills. One of the most beautiful songs is Irving Berlin’s, “God Bless America”.

Another right that was important was the right to keep the fruits of one’s labor; which meant private property and free enterprise. If the government could confiscate what one worked for, then the aforementioned guarantees would be meaningless. Freedom meant nothing if there wasn’t also economic freedom. Small, limited government with laissez-faire capitalism was the atmosphere which fostered and encouraged growth and wealth.

The American Dream was all about raising oneself above a subsistence level, which had been the level for the majority for all of history, and still is for most of the “Third World” countries. America was pioneered and made great by people who had confidence, who believed in themselves, who worked to better themselves and improve their circumstances. These people didn’t believe or accept that poverty was a static condition or permanent station in life. They aspired to more: to them the future was unlimited. They were surrounded by examples of people who had risen as far as their imagination, creativity, talents and intelligence could take them. This was reflected materially in the big cars, houses, businesses and skyscrapers that were built. Individual people in a climate of little or no government interference, made America great. Free market Capitalism raised the standard of living for everyone. Even relatively poor people in America today have a house, a car, television,computer and cellphone. That’s not the case in other countries, where people are envious of our democracy and wealth.

America used to be a melting pot, where people came from all over the world to create a better life for themselves and their children. Some came to escape persecution or poverty, some came by boat or suffered great hardship, but they were all glad to come to America. They were happy and proud to be American. People knew and appreciated the fact that this country offered greater opportunity than the country they left. They considered themselves first and
foremost Americans.The flag, oath of allegiance and national anthem meant, and hopefully still means something.

Yet, there are some Americans who are not satisfied and complain about “Capitalism” and “consumerism”, as if they’re dirty words. In America, people have a choice of how, what or if they are going to spend their earned money on something, that in other countries would be considered unimaginable luxuries. There is a simple law of supply and demand. If there wasn’t the demand then the goods would go unsold and the business would go bankrupt. For those who argue that the “demand” is created by advertising or the media, that only speaks to the ignorance, gullibility and powerlessness of those who make that argument; that they are somehow so easily manipulated and so helpless that they can’t think for themselves and cannot make the simple choice to buy or not to buy. Again, this is an example of “victim consciousness”.

Most of the programs for conservation, the environment, social welfare etc., costs money. Where is that money to come from if not from those who are successful and financially well off. The government can only get money either through taxation or printing more, which leads to inflation. The voters demand and politicians promise to create jobs. But where are these jobs to come from if not from entrepreneurs, small business and corporations; the very ones who have been criticized and condemned as being greedy and heartless, the very ones who have been considered politically incorrect.

It is ironic that some immigrants to America have a greater appreciation for the United States, than some people who were born here. For those who are discontent, unhappy or would rather live in some other country or under some other system, there is another American freedom and that is the freedom to leave. There is no wall or iron curtain preventing anyone from leaving to go to another country that they think might be better than the greatest country on earth. The facts show that there are millions of people who would gladly take their place in a heartbeat. America is still a beacon of hope for those who crave democracy and cherish the values that this country represents.

Sure the United States can be improved, but rather than negativity, blame and complaint, let’s use our energy, passion and patriotism now to improve ourselves and make America greater than ever. If the individual succeeds and prospers, the country benefits.

It’s time to be proud again to be an American.

Jimmy Carter Madness

For well over forty years former president Jimmy Carter has been on a mad man mission to assist in bringing harm to the sovereign nation of Israel. His latest effort was recently on full display in an editorial for the progressive New York Times. In that column, he publicly called for president Obama to divide the land of Israel. Despite the fact that those who call themselves Palestinians have no legal, just, or logical claim to even a speck of dust in Israel, Carter has been hankering to carve up Israel for her enemies for decades.

Carter has been urging Obama to support a UN Security Council resolution that would set forth so-called firm parameters for resolving the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians who simply want to take Israel’s land.

According to UN officials, such a Security Council resolution would be considered legally binding on the Israelis and the Palestinians. Carter gleefully stated that the Trump administration would not be able to undo such a resolution once it had been passed. That is because it would take another vote of the UN Security Council to revoke the resolution once it was passed and that would not happen. I think the UN Security Council could be persuaded to change their little minds, if need be by the threat of a USA financial boycott. Remember it is the massive and foolish U.S. payments to the UN that keeps it afloat.

Up until now the only thing standing in the way of a United Nation land grab from Israel was the United States Security Council veto power. There have already been hints that president Obama most likely will refuse to exercise that veto power if a “parameters resolution” is put up for a vote before he leaves office. It does not take a rocket scientist to understand that Mr. Obama does not highly regard Israel or it’s sovereignty any more than he does the United States of America.

An article in Christian Patriots illustrates the three main pillars of such a brutal resolution.

  1. It would give formal UN Security Council recognition to a Palestinian state for the very first time.
  2. It would grant East Jerusalem to the Palestinians as the capital of their new state.
  3. It would establish the 1967 cease fire lines as the basis for final negotiations for borders between the two states.

I find such a resolution to be disgusting. First of all, the last time I checked the nation of Israel is sovereign and has a right to exist with the invasion of UN sponsored “Palestinians” who wish death to Israel. Israel is a beacon of light surrounded by over a billion Muslims waiting to wipe her out.

Now former president Carter wants the Palestinians who are welcomed in any Muslim nation to barge in on the Israelis and take half of Jerusalem for their capital. Through the years, Jimmy Carter has become increasingly one sided and hateful toward Israel in his berating rants. When one remembers the daily missile attacks and other Islamic terrorist threats Israel has been putting up with over the years it is a miracle she is still patiently trying to get along with those abusive Islamic neighbors. Yet progressive bigots like Jimmy Carter want one of the smallest nations on earth to give up their territory to a gaggle of goons, who only bring societal and infrastructure destruction wherever they settle. A significant number of progressive European governments are in on the deviant act of suppressing Israel. They are talking with Obama administration officials, urging them to take some kind of action on the Israeli, Palestinian conflict in the waning days of the current presidency.

It is my sincere prayer that Obama’s bigoted based mission to divide Israel fails miserably. Besides, the Palestinians are nothing more than political pawns being pimped by the many Islamic states that refuse to welcome them in to live. For Obama to seek the dividing of the historic city of Jerusalem is wrong and if enacted will prove to be a blunder of historic proportions, that would not bode well for our republic. I pray for the peace of Jerusalem and protection from her enemies who are also haters of America.

God bless America with the wisdom not to bring harm to our greatest ally, Israel.

We Know Something that most Americans Don’t — How I became a thought-criminal

This morning I received an email from Piotr Jankowski, managing editor of a Polish-language news website in Warsaw, telling me about an article they had just posted about me, my work, and my recent arrest at GMU by the politically correct campus police. The article was titled, Persecuted: in USSR for anti-communism, in USA for anti-Islamism.

Surfing their site, it didn’t take long to discover close to a dozen People’s Cube images and parodies by me and other Cubists from several years back, translated into Polish.

Since my grandfather was Polish, we had a Polish dictionary and a language manual in the family library. Polish is also close enough to my native Russian and Ukrainian, so with some practice I was able to read Polish magazines, which were more interesting than the Soviet ones.

As a kid, I loved the Polish satirical magazine Szpilki. It wasn’t widely available and their cartoons were often a lot more sexually charged than those in the Soviet print media, so my parents tried to keep them out of my sight. But seeing just one issue was enough to make me wonder why such things didn’t exist in the Soviet Union. It was possibly then that I first experienced adult thoughts about the existence of censorship. Seeing those magazines today wouldn’t probably impress me that much, but at the time they turned me into a thought-criminal. I realized that a world without censorship was more fun to live in.

Granted, Poland was a reluctant Soviet satellite with heavily censored press. And yet Polish movies and books seemed more honest and revealing in just about anything, from sex to politics. Apparently the Poles enjoyed a little less censorship and a little more freedom that we in the USSR did. It was logical to conclude that if a little less censorship meant a little more fun, a world without any censorship whatsoever would be a blast. And that world existed just west of Poland – in Europe, America, and the rest of what we call Western societies.

Ever since I imagined a world without censorship, I wanted to live in it. My own country began to feel less like the Motherland and more like an obstacle to freedom. As a teenager, whenever the Motherland’s embrace felt especially stifling and cold, I stayed warm thinking about parts of the world where people were free. I imagined I was one of them and it made me felt better. These people could speak their mind without the fear of being overheard. They could write and read books, make and watch movies, play and listen to the music without government’s permission. They gave me hope.

The sounds of the Beatles and other rock and roll music of the 1970s also helped. Turning on the tape recorder provided an instant immersion into that free world, a temporary escape from the stuffy Soviet reality. I believe that was a common experience for many young people of the Eastern Bloc. Owning an overpriced pair of blue jeans and listening to Western music went way beyond mere aesthetics; it was a non-verbal expression of our longing for freedom and an analgesic relief from the daily ideological bullying and brainwashing by the Communist regime.

It felt as though all those uncensored cartoons, music, and blue fade-out apparel were made especially for us. Communist propagandists agreed, telling us that all those “Western things” were masterminded by capitalist propagandists with the sole purpose of subverting the Soviet youth and weakening our communist resolve. We laughed at their paranoia, and yet the feeling of some secret messaging addressed to us was inescapable. Living in a totalitarian society will do that to you.

Everything the Communists did had a special political purpose, and they projected the same on their “capitalist adversaries,” claiming that all those “Western things” were part of a clandestine anti-Soviet operation. Later it came almost as a revelation to many Soviets that it wasn’t so. The superior consumer goods were the natural outcome of the capitalist economy, the uncensored art was the outcome of freedom, and rock and roll was a scream of joy that resulted from it. Whatever political messaging the Soviets attached to those things would have most likely surprised their creators.

As for me, I just wanted to experience a world where things were appreciated merely for their beauty, without any political weight clinging to them after they’d been dragged through the garbage of false totalitarian narratives.

Then I finally came to live in the U.S. and discovered a country chained by political correctness, which has become America’s new zeitgeist. Censorship came not as much from the government as from the media denouncements, which were then universally repeated by the mindless adepts of “progressivism.” Wherever I look I see a never-ending buildup of false narratives in an increasingly unfree society, where few things remain to be enjoyed for their beauty without the political ball and chain attached to them. One can’t even buy a chicken sandwich or watch a TV show, let alone read the news, without thinking about political messaging, symbolism, or ulterior motives.

The perpetrator is, once again, leftist ideology. It may not be a replica of the Soviet ideology, but it is nonetheless aligned with the general delusional idea of a world-wide socialist Utopia achieved through a totalitarian rule of “benevolent” elites. And now the totalitarian leftists are teaming up with the totalitarian Islamists. The censorship in Western societies has redoubled since Islam came into play. Apparently the leftists are hoping that Islamic supremacism will quietly go away once it helps them to conquer the world. That is, of course, yet another dangerous delusion.

I hate politics as much as a soldier hates the war but continues to fight because it’s the only way to victory. I’d rather live my life enjoying beautiful things without any politics attached, but today that seems like an impossible dream. The alternative to fighting is a surrender to the stifling totalitarianism and censorship, which will be a lot worse than going back to the Soviet days. The West’s surrender to the leftist agenda means that there will be no other parts of the world left to give us the hope of freedom. Nowhere to smuggle uncensored books, tapes, or cartoons from. Nowhere to run to.

This is why I do what I do. And this is what also drives the people in the far-away Warsaw to do what they do, including the translation of the People’s Cube satires into Polish.

Having grown up in an unfree world, we know something that most Americans don’t.

When your opponent is committing suicide don’t interfere

John Adams wrote, “Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”

Democrats believe America is a democracy and when elected rule as if it were just that. Americans know that the United States is a Constitutional Republic and they expect those they elect to govern as if it were just that.

That is fundamentally why Donald Trump won Presidency of the United States.

Americans understand that “democracy” inextricably leads to committing social suicide. When one looks at those states, cities and the reign of former President Obama, Americans see the centralization of power, more government, more control, more regulation, expanded bureaucracies and power in the hands of a few elitists who know what is best for the masses. Republicans have been guilty of governing as if America were a democracy, rather than it being a Constitutional Republic. But that has changed with the election of Donald Trump.

In a March 2016 interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper President-elect Trump was asked about the U.S. Constitution.

COOPER: Do you see the constitution as a living breathing document that — or do you see that something set in stone from long ago? Those are sort of …

TRUMP: I see the constitution as set in stone. I see it as one of the great documents of all time.

Democrats see the U.S. Constitution as a “living breathing document” that can be manipulated as a means to meet their political ends. With the election of Donald J. Trump Americans will see a return to a U.S. Constitution that is “set in stone.” President-elect Trump has promised to appoint members of the U.S. Supreme Court who are strict constructionists, he has promised to “drain the swamp” created by those who see America as a democracy.

It is our hope and belief that America will change fundamentally into the Constitutional Republic envisioned by the Founding Fathers.

If America returns to its roots as a Constitutional Republic then, and only then, will it become great again.

As Democrats try to recover from 3 election cycles of loses, it appears that they have neither understood the why nor how they lost. They believe they are right and those Americans who voted for Donald Trump are white racist bigots. What Democrats and media missed was the Constitutional insurgency that propelled Trump to the White House.

Americans should heed the words of Niccolo Machiavelli, “One who deceives will always find those who allow themselves to be deceived.”

Americans who believe in the U.S. Constitution, and the Republic for which is stands, voted to drain the swamp.

If John Adams were alive today he would recognize that Democrats and their alt-Left democracy are committing political suicide. Mr. Adams would advise us to not interfere.

President Trump, We’re With You! Louisiana Here We Come!

During his amazing speech at his Thank You USA Rally, president elect Trump said what Americans have been desperately longing to hear since the day mega-millions cast their vote for Obama.

For too long Washington has tried to put us in boxes. They separate us by race, by age, by income, by geography, by place of birth. We spend too much time focusing on what divides us. Now is the time to embrace the one thing that truly unites us. You know what that is? America!”

Imagine the awesome impact of these unifying words had they come out of the mouth of Obama 8 years ago, America’s first black president.

As a black man who despises the Left’s on-going campaign to keep Americans divided into supposed victimized voting blocs, Trump’s words were beautiful music to my ears.

President Trump also humbly said We the People are the movement and that he is only the messenger. Trump called upon us to help him make America great again; make America first.

I am with you Mr President. My Conservative Campaign Committee is on our way to Louisiana. The Left is desperately trying to deceive Americans into believing Trump does not have a mandate to hit-the-brakes and turn America’s bus around from continuing down Obama’s road to making America last. Therefore, Democrat’s have pumped over $2 million into the December 10th U.S. Senate Louisiana runoff race between Republican John N. Kennedy and Democrat leftist-radical Obama minion Foster Campbell.

The mission our CCC team has chosen to accept is to go into Louisiana and secure a rock-solid in-your-face victory for Kennedy. Thus, Kennedy’s strong victory will help thwart the Left’s lie that Trump does not have a mandate. Any help you can give us would be awesome; phone-from-home and etc. mailto:PhoneFromHome@ConservativeCampaign.org The election is less than a week a way.

Oh, our CCC team also plans to enjoy some great Louisiana gumbo.

“I’m melting!” cried the Wicked Witch after Dorothy threw a bucket of water on her. It appears buckets of millions of anti-Hillary pro-Trump votes have not been able to destroy America’s Wicked Witch of the West, Hillary Clinton. This deplorable woman simply will not go away.

While Jill Stein is the public face of the 3 state recount scheme to steal the election from We the People, Hillary is behind it. Leaving no unprecedented conniving stone unturned to thwart the will of voters, Wicked Witch Hillary has implemented, “Operation Rub-Out the Electors.” Her people sent threatening letters to electors trying to bully them to go against the will of voters in their states by not voting for Trump on December 19th. Imagine Wicked Witch Hillary’s behind closed-doors temper tandem, “Screw you voters, I’m taking this @%&#@*% election!”

Hillary’s delusional plots to overturn the election are also about branding Trump’s victory illegitimate; furthering the Left’s lie that Trump does not have a mandate. And may I say the Left is pulling out all the stops to destroy/undermine Trump’s presidency even before the man is inaugurated. You can not turn on your TV without being bombarded with a tsunami of news shows attacking Trump, putting a negative spin on his character, decisions and intellect.

This is the same media that gave Bill Clinton a pass, claiming any president offered oral sex from an intern would have gleefully accepted it. The same media that had no problem with Obama lying to Americans about keeping their doctor and giving our enemy $150 billion to fund terrorism. The same media that could not care less about Hillary’s documented lies, multiple crimes and scandals.

Wacko black Democrat talking head operative Symone Sanders was on TV claiming Trump saying “make America great again” is racist, taking us back to slavery. This woman is insane. She is spewing the absurd crap from the Left we have been putting up with for 8 years.

Meanwhile, political brainy-acs on both sides still do not understand why We the People excitedly rallied behind alpha-male Trump. All we wanted was a leader with the courage to say, “Enough!”

Ms Sanders and her ilk should be rejected and thrown on the putrid smelling junk-heap of Leftist divisiveness to rot in the bright sunlight of freedom, liberty and national brotherhood. Folks, I am so done with these evil people on the Left.

We the American People have your back President Trump. Go for it brother! We are with you all the way! Thanks and God Bless!

Do ‘Birthers’ Still Have an Issue?

For the past eight years, millions of Americans have been trying to restore national reverence for the founding principles and values set as the cornerstone of freedom and liberty in the Charters of Freedom. If successful, they would have also disqualified Barack Hussein Obama from the Oval Office, a natural consequence of constitutional accountability that no one in Washington D.C. was going to allow.

Although “progressives” have demonized that endeavor by labeling those people “birthers” or “alt-right” constitutional crackpots full of conspiracy theories, those documents, the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights are the only thing that stands between peaceful national sovereignty, security, freedom and liberty… and global tyranny. They only exist to the degree and extent that they are enforced.

To be clear, the movement focused on where Barack Hussein Obama was really born, Hawaii or Kenya, the foundation of the so-called “birther” movement, had little to do with the enforcement of the Founders intent of the natural born Citizen clause in Article II of the Constitution. It had much more to do with the fact that when Obama was challenged on his eligibility, he chose to issue not one, but three different “Certification of Live Birth” documents, none of which were a “Birth Certificate” and all of which turned out to be forgeries.

In this regard, the “birthers” still have an issue, as those three forged birth documents remain the only documentation of Obama’s U.S. citizenship today, and they remain forgeries. Law Center calls for impeachment were ignored by every member of congress, despite a mountain of evidence.

However, the issue of who is or is not eligible to occupy the Oval Office under the natural born Citizen clause is of far greater importance, as Obama prepares to vacate the Oval Office and pass the national baton to President-elect Donald J. Trump. The issue of who is or is not eligible for that office remains unsettled.

Over the past eight years, efforts to enforce the natural born Citizen clause largely resulted in a plethora of competing politically motivated opinions about what the Founders originally meant by that term and whether it remains relevant today. Despite the politically motivated hyperbole on the matter, those three simple English words do have a very simple, well-documented and well-known meaning.

For over a hundred years now, the judicial branch has been used to amend the Constitution by way of broad interpretations of constitutional text. Just as Jefferson had realized and warned in the early 1800s, the judicial branch, left unchecked and able to undermine the Constitution by mere broad interpretations, had indeed become the greatest threat to the Constitutional Republic.

Nowhere was this more evident than in the endless discussion over what the Founders meant by “natural born Citizen.” The debate over the meaning of this term was complicated by the reality that Barack Hussein Obama had managed to steal the 2008 DNC nomination from Hillary Clinton and was now sitting in the Oval Office, unconstitutionally. To avoid a nation crisis, or “constitutional crisis” per some, the term had to be made “ambiguous” to protect Barack Obama from removal from office.

For eight years, no one would be allowed to settle on the true meaning of natural born Citizen.

Making matters even worse, the GOP allowed no less than three non-natural born Citizens to seek the Oval Office under their banner in the 2016 elections, resulting in even more unconstitutional opinions of what a natural born Citizen is, in the end, making the term nearly meaningless.

US News wrote a column confirming that Sen. Ted Cruz is NOT a natural born Citizen, stating – “Constitutional scholars are dusting off their crystal balls as they are asked to discern what the Founding Fathers really meant by “natural born” citizen. Let me join the chorus of opinions by saying that based on the original framework of the Constitution and the 14th Amendment, Sen. Ted Cruz does not appear to be constitutionally eligible to hold the office of the president.”

Meanwhile, some of Ted’s friends at Harvard had a different opinion – as did Cornell Law – and the LA Times – and Heritage Foundation as well as numerous Law Professors as reported by the Washington PostSalonSlate and even Wikipedia. There was no shortage or opinions or legal theories supporting those arguments. But isn’t the truth much more obvious than indicated?

Still, it remains the only three words in the entire Charters of Freedom that prevents a foreign agent from ever occupying the most powerful political office not only in the United States, but in the world.

In short, the debate over what a natural born Citizen is falls on the following competing views;

  1. Someone born on U.S. soil and under the jurisdiction thereof? (The definition of native born citizen per the 14th)
  2. Someone naturalized to the United States, as defined by U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Amendments and statutes? (The definition of a naturalized)
  3. The Natural Law definition of natural born Citizen, the natural offspring of a legal U.S. citizen Father, who naturally inherits their citizenship from their birth Father at birth? (The Law of Nations definition)
  4. The “birther” definition, someone who is both native and natural born and not naturalized.

The first key to unlocking the real answer to this question is the word natural; which means a condition produced by nature alone, and not a man-made act by any legislative process. A natural right, which is inalienable by man, such as the right of every child born to an American Father to also be an American at birth.

The fundamental importance of this issue is the fact that all inalienable rights are natural rights. If we do not understand or revere natural rights, then we have no inalienable rights. Natural Born Citizen is the most fundamental natural right and it too, like all natural rights, is inalienable, which means, beyond the reach of legal opinions and legislative act.

Now, in order to protect our Constitutional Republic from foreign invasion and occupation at the highest levels, our Founders made it a constitutional requirement that only a natural born Citizen, as opposed to native born or naturalize citizens, can occupy the Oval Office.

An in depth historical accounting of the Founders use of the term is presented in the following two-part essay…

A Natural Born Citizen is a True Citizen, Part 1, 12-11-14

A Natural Born Citizen is a True Citizen, Part 2, 12-11-14

Is this still an important issue as Barack Obama leaves his tenure as President of the United States?

In my opinion, it is more important than ever and here’s why…

Because Obama was allowed to complete two terms in the Oval Office without ever being held accountable for his massive fraud; and because too many Americans buy into the lie that this sets some type of “legal precedence” equal to “settled law,” from this moment forward, anyone from anywhere on earth without so much as a legitimate U.S. Birth Record can become president of the most powerful nation on earth.

In other words, those three simple words placed in Article II of the U.S. Constitution to prevent foreign invasion and occupation of the people’s White House can no longer provide that protection, unless and until, the true meaning of natural born Citizen is known by every American and enforced as a constitutional requirement for high office.

Until then, this constitutional protection of the Oval Office is no more use that the immigration and naturalization laws that have not been enforced since 1986. Our laws say that unless you enter this country through our immigration and naturalization process, you are in our country illegally. But some 200 U.S. cities are now sanctuaries for these illegal invaders and the same people have also worked to undermine and subvert the natural born Citizen clause.

Until the people insist that this matter be corrected, there will be no way to protect the Oval Office or the Constitutional Republic, much less make America great again!

The 2016 Revolution was based entirely upon a “fed up” attitude of average American voters from all political affiliations, towards elitist Beltway insiders from both parties. With a new incoming administration, now may be the best time to strike and set the record for the future.

Since no one would allow the conversation to take place so long as the usurper Obama was in office, right now might be the perfect time to resolve this matter before another usurper decided to seek the Oval Office. In fact, like the critical nature of the 2016 election itself, this might be the last chance we ever have to resolve the so-called “birther” issue, for all posterity.

Here are Six Black Republicans that Trump Should Be Talking to about Cabinet Positions

President-elect Donald Trump owes the Black community absolutely nothing. Let me repeat that: HE OWES US NOTHING!

Blacks gave Trump just 8 percent of their vote and Hillary Clinton won 88 percent; Clinton’s share of Black voters was considerably lower than Obama’s 93 percent in 2008 and 96 percent in 2012.

Trump has said that he will make things a lot better for Blacks and that he wants to be president of all of America.

Trump won the election and “to the victor belong the spoils,” but if he’s serious about making things better for Blacks, he’s going to need the expertise and wealth of experience of Black Republicans during his transition to the White House and in his administration.

I find it extremely offensive that Trump would meet with liberal Democrat Bob Johnson, founder of BET, and call Al Sharpton, a known race hustler. Black Republicans have been calling me constantly with this complaint, but most are too afraid to go on the record with their criticism.

Well, I am not seeking favor or goodies from the incoming Trump administration and even if I were, I still wouldn’t remain silent on this issue.

Let me put it this way: How would Trump feel if his employees stayed at a Marriott Hotel when a Trump property was literally next door? Well, this is how Black Republicans feel every time one of our leaders engages with liberal Black Democrats and ignores us.

Why hasn’t Trump called Black Republicans like Bob Brown, the highest-ranking Black in the Nixon Administration? He is a walking history book on Blacks in the Republican Party. Why has he not called Fred McClure who served in consecutive presidential administrations advising President Ronald Reagan and President George H. W. Bush on legislative affairs as a senior member of the White House staff? He also served as Legislative Director to U.S. Senator John Tower, the Associate Deputy U.S. Attorney General, Chairman of the Board of Visitors of the United States Naval Academy, and as a member of the National Civil Aviation Review Commission and the Secretary of Energy’s Advisory Board.

Oh, and what about Connie Newman?

Newman served as U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Assistant Administrator for Africa for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and Director of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), just to name a few.

The bigger tragedy is most of the Republicans in leadership have no idea who these people are. These are folks with serious relationships and credibility within the Black community and have great standing and stature within the White community, as well.

As I often say, the best way to get attention as a Black Republican is to be a Black Democrat.

As of this moment, Trump has not named one Black to his cabinet. Former neurosurgeon and presidential candidate Ben Carson has been mentioned as a possibility to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Putting Carson at HUD is like asking me to perform brain surgery on your kid. What does Carson know about housing policy? Absolutely nothing.

Furthermore, can we get away from sticking Blacks and Latinos in this particular agency? Believe it or not, Blacks do have the skills to run the departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, etc., and even the political office inside the White House.

So, knowing the Republican establishment the way I do, I know their first response will be, “Well, Raynard, who do you recommend?”

Here are just a few people that come to mind.

Kay Cole James is one of the most decorated political appointees in the country. She is a graduate of Hampton University, one of the premier Black colleges in the country, has served at the highest levels of the federal government for the last three Republican presidents (Reagan, Bush, and Bush) and she currently sits on several major corporate boards. How about making her the Domestic Policy Advisor, someone who reports directly to the president?

How about making Robert L. Wallace the administrator of the Small Business Administration? He is a Baltimore native, Dartmouth College graduate in engineering, a serial entrepreneur and has received every award known to God for mentoring others; he is also a lifetime Republican.

What about making Shannon Reeves the White House Political Director? He is a graduate of Grambling University, another prominent Black college; he’s also a serial entrepreneur, a lifetime member of the NAACP, former state director of the NAACP of California, and is currently a professor at Alabama A&M University, a Black college, and is simultaneously finishing his doctorate degree in political science.

Isn’t it a shame that Republicans know more about Black Democrats than they do Black Republicans? Isn’t it also a shame that Republicans in leadership reach out to more Black Democrats than they do Black Republicans?

With our Super PAC, Black Americans for a Better Future, we are actively changing these dynamics. You will see our plan at work during our upcoming 5th annual Black Republican Trailblazer Awards Luncheon in February.

So, to President-elect Donald J. Trump, please feel free to call me so we can discuss the issue of putting “real” Black Republicans in “real” positions of power within your administration. Mr. Trump, what do “you” have to lose?

How Fraudulent Guardianship Commences and Continues

“A large part of the victim’s money is spent on attorney’s fees and guardian’s fees.  As long as there is ample money in the victim’s guardianship account, the guardian and her attorney cohorts will file motion upon motion after motion to the courts,”

STEP ONE—“EMINENT DANGER”—THE INITIAL COURT PETITION

The professional guardian, with the assistance of her attorneys, commences the embezzlement process by filing an emergency petition in the probate courts to become the “emergency” “temporary” guardian

Florida guardianship statutes, like many states, (Chapter 744) require that there be an “eminent danger” in order for the petitioner to become the “emergency temporary guardian.”

The guardian oftentimes fabricates the “eminent danger” by , stating that there is a neighbor or relative or stranger who is taking advantage of the elderly person.  In some cases, this may be a somewhat true statement, albeit an exaggerated claim.  In most cases, upon further investigation, there has been no “eminent danger” whatsoever.

Step One takes away all of the victim’s civil rights and therefore gives the guardian and her attorneys full control over the victim and his or her assets.

STEP TWO—THE EXAMINING COMMITTEE  

Once the professional guardian has taken control of the victim on a temporary basis (the emergency temporary guardianship order expires in 60 days) an examining committee of three medical “professionals” steps in to verify the allegation of mental incapacity.  Oftentimes, the  victim is administered a cocktail of psychotropic drugs to enhance the claims that he or she is incompetent.

“Ward” Elizabeth Faye Arnold, for instance, stated, “They put me on drugs that made me feel very drunk.  I couldn’t even remember my name.  Now that they have all my money, they don’t medicate me that way anymore.”   One of the three medical professionals must be a psychiatrist and the victim is generally always found to be mentally incapacitated.  The guardian usually has her own set of medical professionals that she utilizes on a regular basis.

Back in the courtroom, soon after the three medical professionals file their reports, there is a capacity hearing.  The victim seldom is permitted to attend this hearing.  The judge quickly scans the medical examinations that “verify” that the victim is “mentally and/or physically incapacitated.”  The judge then signs an order that gives the professional guardian full and permanent legal authority over the victim’s person and property.

STEP THREE—THE “FEAST” BEGINS 

Property is sold for below market value and the deeds switch and switch several times. (kick backs are suspected)  Bank accounts, annuities, stocks, and CDs are liquidated into one big guardianship account.

Out of this large bank account, the guardian is expected to pay all the victim’s, but bills oftentimes go unpaid.

HOW THE VICTIM’S MONEY IS SPENT

1.  ATTORNEY’S FEES AND GUARDIANSHIP FEES FOR “SERVICES RENDERED TO ‘BENEFIT’ THE ‘WARD’”

A large part of the victim’s money is spent on attorney’s fees and guardian’s fees.  As long as there is ample money in the victim’s guardianship account, the guardian and her attorney cohorts will file motion upon motion after motion to the courts, such as:

–A motion to sell the ward’s furniture

–A motion to liquidate stocks and CDs

–A motion to transfer the ward to a different nursing home

–A motion to sell the ward’s homesteaded house

–A motion to open up a safety deposit box

Each motion can cost the “ward” in excess of $2,000.00 because the motion must be written, researched, filed, and then a hearing is scheduled.  Oftentimes, the motions cost more than what is being petitioned for.

2.  PUFFING THE MONTHLY BUDGET—The guardian frequently doubles the monthly expenses then keeps the remainder.

  1. 3.      SELLING THE “WARD’S” PERSONAL BELONGINGS FOR BELOW MARKET VALUE THEN POCKETING THE DIFFERENCE—The guardian underestimates the amount of the sale of personal items, such as jewelry, paintings, and antiques, for the purpose of the court record inventories, then is free to keep the difference.  There is little court oversight.
  2. 4.     BILLS ARE SIMPLY NOT PAID

Oftentimes, the bills of the “ward” are not even paid.  When the “ward” dies, the guardian simply places an ad in an obscure newspaper, if there is money left for an estate to be probated.  Assuming creditors do not see the ad and file a claim against the estate within 30 days, their claims are forever barred and so the guardian was able to fool creditors and abscond with the money and not have to pay any of the bills.  If she is caught, she simply pays the bills of the creditors who caught her.  This frequently includes Medicaid.

  1. 5.     ACCOUNTING IS NOT ACCURATE

The guardian can claim a much lower amount of liquid assets than what the victim is actually worth and then pocket the rest.

EXAMPLE:  Julie Sweeten–$400,000.00 estate with an alleged $80,000.00 remaining when Sweeten died.  More than $300,000.00 was spent in three years.

Louise A. Falvo started off with approximately $800,000.00.  Two months into the guardianship, Fierle filed an accounting with the court stating that Falvo was worth only $672,000.00.   Shortly thereafter, a bank statement from Bank of America stated that Falvo now had $449,000 after all accounts had been liquidated.  So, approximately $200,000 turned up missing.

  1. 6.      FAKE WILLS:  In this scenario, the guardian claimed that Julie Sweeten desired to leave her estate to her bank.   A forged will was entered into the record. Wachovia Bank trustee was then given $80,000.00 from the uncontested, probated estate.

STEP FOUR:  THE MYSTERIOUS DEATHS

Once the funds have been spent, the “ward” oftentimes suddenly dies.

-OR

The “ward” dies when there is still plenty of money — if a huge probate battle can commence, thereby further enriching the attorneys and guardian.

Examples:  Carlisle Bosworth died soon after his $250,000 had been spent.

James Deaton–$5 million, three years in probate–$3 million in attorney’s fees with a pittance finally paid out to his family members.

LOUISE A. FALVO—suspected morphine sulphate overdose as cause of death; huge probate battle to enrich attorneys ensued even though

LOUISE A. FALVO’s bank accounts were all POD/ITF to her daughter, so probate should have been completely unnecessary.

NASGA, National Association to Stop Guardianship Abuse, has adopted a three part theme to succinctly describe the legally sanctioned exploitative guardianship process:  “Isolate, Medicate, Take the Estate.”

Muslim sits next to Eric Trump on plane, discovers media has been lying

“Then, in the politest way he could, Amer let him know something else. ‘I was like, “Yo, and I’m not doing that shit. I’m not going to get an ID, a Muslim ID and all this crap. I’m not doing that. Fuck that,”‘ Amer explained.”

That was polite? Anyway, the hard-Left Huffington Post passes by this aspect of the story without comment, but Mohammed Amer actually learns that the establishment propaganda hysteria over this supposed “Muslim registry” has no basis in fact: “Amer said that Eric told him nothing of the sort would happen. ‘He goes, “Come on, man you really think we’re going to do that? We’re not doing that.” That’s what he said. “We’re not doing that.” I was like, “OK, fantastic.”‘”

If a glimmer of skepticism flashed across Amer’s mind regarding the establishment propaganda media, it was not recorded.

“As Amer and Eric got to talking, the comedian told him that he had toured with Dave Chappelle. When Eric heard that, he had a request: ‘Tell him to take it easy on [my dad].’ To which Amer responded, ‘That’s not gonna happen. We are not going to take it easy. It’s not our job to take it easy on you guys.’”

Of course. It’s only your job to take it easy on Democrats, Socialists, and the like.

“A Muslim Comedian Sat Next To Eric Trump On A Flight. Here’s What He Learned,” by Maxwell Strachan, Huffington Post, December 2, 2016:

As Mohammed Amer stepped onto his plane in New York City on Wednesday, he noticed an unmistakeable murmur that struck him as odd.

The comedian, who was on his way to Scotland for the start of his Human Appeal Comedy Tour, had been upgraded at the last moment, a pleasant surprise considering the length of the trip. But once onboard, it was clear something was up. When he finally reached his seat, he knew exactly what.

“Are you fucking kidding me?” Amer thought to himself.

Seated to his right was none other than Eric Trump, the third-oldest child of President-elect Donald Trump, and the woman behind them was clearly upset about his presence. “She looked at me and said, ‘I wouldn’t even sit next to him if I were you,’” Amer recalled to The Huffington Post. He, though, had a different reaction: “Thank you, God.”

Amer is an Arab-American man of Palestinian descent who was born in Kuwait and came to the U.S. as a refugee. His stand-up comedy frequently touches on issues like immigration and what it’s like to travel the world as a Muslim man. And now, here he was sitting next to a Trump, a perfect breeding ground for future material.

Amer took his seat and said something to Eric along the lines of, “You don’t even know how fantastic this is for me. I’m a Muslim named Mohammed who happens to be a stand-up comedian, and I’m sitting next to you. Its perfect.”

Then, in the politest way he could, Amer let him know something else.

“I was like, ‘Yo, and I’m not doing that shit. I’m not going to get an ID, a Muslim ID and all this crap. I’m not doing that. Fuck that,’” Amer explained.

Amer said that Eric told him nothing of the sort would happen. “He goes, ‘Come on, man you really think we’re going to do that? We’re not doing that.’ That’s what he said. ‘We’re not doing that.’

“I was like, ‘OK, fantastic.’”.

The Myth of a Racist America

Be honest. In your real-life everyday American experience is racism an issue? I am confident the answer is no. And yet, the Left (Democrats, Black Lives Matter, Hollywood and mainstream media) have convinced many that America is a hotbed of racism where black boys are gunned down by cops for simply “walking black.” Words cannot express my contempt for the Left’s ongoing campaign to spread lies to generate racial hate and divide Americans solely for selfish political gains. The Left poisoning young black minds with their lie that white America is their enemy robs blacks of realizing how blessed they are to be born in the greatest land of opportunity on the planet.

Cops shooting blacks are rare. When a cop does shoot a black, the cop is usually black or Hispanic. On the other hand, blacks are routinely killing each other in record numbers in major cities run by democrats. 

Is there racism in America? Absolutely! Racism will exist along with every other sin under the sun until Jesus takes us home. But, is racism really an issue in the lives of most Americans? Absolutely not. Despite the Left’s efforts to make everything about race, the truth is Americans of all races work and play together extremely well.

Black seniors are prone to experiencing “racism paranoia.” I am in my late sixties. Did I just say that out loud? I remember suffering racism in my youth. Consequently, there have been situations in which I found myself anticipating racism only to be greeted with warmth and hospitality. I know blacks my age and older who are suffering racism paranoia; imagining racism in every situation, accusing innocent white store clerks and etc.

It is amazing how the Left so easily uses racism paranoia and lies to keep blacks believing their lie that white America hates them. For example, an over sixty year old relative of mine says she supports Black Lives Matter because of racism targeted at her late husband 60 years ago. Her reasoning is absurd. Shouldn’t having a black man in the White House tell her America is not the country it was 60 years ago? And yet, she enthusiastically devoured the Left’s divisive poison like a brain-dead zombie hungry for brains.

The tragedy of her irrational thinking is it keeps blacks voting for democrats. Despite 50 years of democrats controlling cities and promising to make things better, blacks are suffering more than ever; 40% of black males drop out of high school, record black unemployment under Obama, and 72% of black kids are raised in fatherless households. A whooping 93% of black homicide victims are killed by other blacks

Remarkably, stupid blacks are still allowing the Left to con them into supporting Planned Parenthood, an organization founded to exterminate blacks. Please forgive me for calling them stupid. But their willful ignorance has as my late mom would say, plucked my last nerve.

It is extremely disturbing that black racism against whites has become in vogue; considered cool and enlightened, a virtue of authentic blackness. The Left says if you are black and do not harbor resentment against whites, you are either an Uncle Tom idiot or suffering with Stockholm Syndrome. The Left says whites who do not feel guilty for their birth (white privilege) are redneck, inbred, fly-over-country racist – ripe for government mandated reconditioning/sensitivity training. Don’t laugh folks. This is the evil the Left has been instilling in our kids for decades from kindergarten through college.

Why has white America tolerated Leftist public education abusing their children; teaching them to feel guilty and ashamed of who they are?

Isn’t it interesting that our Leftist controlled government has bullied us into celebrating Homosexual Pride; claiming homosexuals were born that way. And yet, that same government tells white Americans it is racist and soon to be criminal to take pride in the way they were born; the race God chose for them.

Hollywood produces movies based on the premise that all whites are racist. A lovable, funny black lead character humorously points out white racism, while endlessly joking about how stupid and lame white people are. White characters enlightened of their racist instincts vow to do better. One final joke about stupid white people. Laugh, laugh, laugh! The End. Roll credits.

In 2008 white America overwhelmingly voted to elect the first black president. They were, in essence, saying lets heal this racial divide once and for all. The dirty little secret is the last thing the Left wanted was to bring the races together as one American family. I wish I could get more of my family and other blacks to realize that the American Left are nothing more than cold calculating political grifters, (con artists). These political con artists cruelly exploited the good and trusting nature of Americans by using Obama’s skin-color to silence any opposition to him implementing their far-left radical agenda.

Consequently, Obama has behaved like America’s first king. He ignores the Constitution and laws at will. Republicans are petrified to oppose him. Still, the mainstream media lied, convincing Americans that racist Republicans opposed Obama at every turn.

Realizing they had been conned into electing the Left’s socialist/progressive Trojan Horse, concerned Americans formed the Tea Party. The mainstream media immediately launched its campaign to brand the Tea Party racist. In the minds of far too many black Americans, the media’s false branding stuck.

The Left despicably continues to use the Myth of Racist America to make blacks hate and fear whites and police.

The Left is going crazy because Trump does not submit to their decreed rules of engagement and dictates for acceptable republican behavior; walking on eggshells careful not to offend Leftists. I employ each and every decent American to follow president elect Donald Trump’s lead; call out evil and stand up for what is right. There’s a new sheriff in town.

Folks, I am a black man who loves him country. I know I am incredibly blessed to be born here. My simple desire to see fellow blacks abandon the democrats’ stifling deplorable “you’re a victim lie” and pursue their dreams. Freed black liberal plantation slaves such as I pose a major threat to the Left’s Myth of Racist America; keeping other blacks in check.

Democrats on the ‘Eve of Destruction’

The Democratic Party is imploding and rudderless, now that President Obama is leaving office. Democrats and their supporters can’t understand how, let alone why, they lost the Presidential election.

The rhetoric is getting more fringe, the Democratic Party is no longer the party of John F. Kennedy and Harry Truman. In my column “How Democrats Fundamentally Changed from the Party of JFK to the Party of BHO” I asked, “Where are the Blue Dog Democrats? Purged from the BHO Party? As Ronald Reagan once said he did not leave the Democratic Party, rather the Democratic Party left him. So it is with many Democrats. The BHO Party has left them in the lurch.”

The Democratic Party has become the party of protests, anarchists and tribalism. They cling to illusions of racism, bigotry and embrace an anti-American world view. 

This is the how and why Trump won. His message was simple, Make America Great Again. Those four words embodied and embraced a populism for which Democrats once were noted for, but they are now lost in the proverbial political woods. Republicans now represent the working class in America. Democrats are the party of the elites, academia, the 1% and big money political special interests.

The re-election of Nancy Pelosi as minority leader in the U.S. House of Representatives and the ever more likely election of Keith Ellison to become Chair of the Democratic National Committee is proof of just how fringe the party has become.

The Democrats are eating their own. Niall Stanage from The Hill in an article titled “Dem blame game rages over Clinton loss” reports:

Almost a month after Hillary Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump, recriminations are still flying among liberals and Democrats.

At least one prominent Clinton loyalist has turned his fire on Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), arguing that the left-winger’s challenge wounded the former secretary of State ahead of her general election campaign.

Sanders partisans, meanwhile, say that he would have been a better candidate than Clinton to win over an electorate hungry for change.

Both sides express concern that re-litigating the primary battle could be a distraction, wasting energy that would be better spent resisting President-elect Trump.

It is time for rank and file Democrats to look in the mirror and ask themselves, “What is it I stand for?”

Endemic of how Democrat’s think is contained in the 1965 song “Eve Of Destruction.” The lyrics contain an ideology that Democrats still desperately cling to. The Vietnam War is over and racism in Selma, Alabama no longer exists, except in the minds of Democrats. Just as Democrats embraced the Weather Underground during the 1960s, today they embrace Black Lives Matter and Occupy Wall Street. The same tune, different time.

America has moved on. Democrats have not. They are in a political loop created in 1965.

What should Republicans do? Nothing!

Just sit back and watch the Democrats self-destruct.

VIDEO: “Eve of Destruction” was a protest song written by P. F. Sloan. Barry McGuire recorded the track in July 1965. It was released by Dunhill Records.

The Immorality of Changing the Rules After an Election

Some bad ideas just won’t die. Most recently, the continuing effort by those who lost the Presidential election to retrospectively change the rules continues to plow on — naturally enough courtesy of the friendly mainstream media megaphone.

Electors should not vote for the candidate who won their state, as the rules call for, but for the candidate who won the national vote, argues Harvard Law professor Lawrence Lessig in the Washington Post. “The framers left the electors free to choose. They should exercise that choice by leaving the election as the people decided it: in Clinton’s favor” Lessig wrote.

Essentially, he argues that there is nothing in the Constitution that overtly requires electors to vote for the candidate who won their state. Therefore they are free to, and ought to, vote for the candidate who won the popular vote. Of course, he does not mention electors are required to follow the rules of the various states in which they are elected.

But aside from an attempt to re-write our long-term understanding of elections, this is a deeply disingenuous article.

First on the general merits, he is promulgating a pure democracy — something the Founders cringed at. Pure democracy is often and aptly compared to two wolves and one sheep deciding on what’s for dinner. The Electoral College as a representative balance between the people’s popular vote and states’ rights was brilliant and on purpose by the Founders and is critical to keep. On the other hand, pure democracy has a long and ignoble history, which is precisely why ours is not that.

In the Federalist Papers #10, James Madison wrote: “…Hence it is that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security and the rights of property, and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”

But the professor, and many Democrats today, want pure democracy…now.

It’s the cheating of scoundrels

But the most disingenuous element in this line of thought is to change the rules retrospectively.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton both ran their campaigns based on the known rules: Who wins the most electors wins the White House. They created their strategies around winning key states. If it was a popular vote, both campaigns would have been run differently and we do not know what those results would have been. Changing the rules after the outcome to change the outcome is just abhorrent thinking.

If the good professor was not too blinkered by ideology, he would know that.

Let’s drive this home with some strong analogies.

Let’s say a football game finished where one team wins 24-10 — a solid win. But the losing team argues afterwards that the game should be decided by total yards gained, because the losing team had 400 yards compared to 250 yards for the other team — a solid advantage. But those were not the rules by which both teams were playing. Strategies would have changed. That sounds absurd, but insert the Electoral College for the game score, and the popular vote for yards gained, and the analogy is sound. But we rightly would never consider that.

Or again, consider if the loser of a seven-game World Series argues afterwards that the champion should be decided by total runs instead of the number of games won, because the loser scored more total runs — which has happened several times. But those weren’t the rules. Again, strategies would have changed.

Or again, consider if you are driving 45 mph in a 45 mph speed limit zone, but the next day the speed limit is changed to 30 mph and you are retroactively ticketed for speeding. That’s absurd! That’s not fair! You would have driven slower! Exactly. It is absurd.

This is the precise principle that applies to those who want to change the elections rules now, for this past election. If you want to change them going forward, that is a discussion to have (and which I would oppose doing) but changing the rules retrospectively is simply wrong.

Jewish Advocacy Oraganization Partners with Islamic Supremists — Sleeping with the Enemy?

Is the oldest Jewish Advocacy Organization sleeping with its sworn enemy? It would seem so from a recent email titled “Muslim and Jewish Pioneers” from AJC Impact.

ajc-muslim-jewish-advisory-council-logo

ACJ Advisory Council logo. Note the Star of David is impaled by the Muslim crescent.

The email from AJC Impact notes the formation of an AJC and ISNA Muslim/Jewish Advisory Council. Here is AJC’s announcement:

This week, AJC announced the launch of the Muslim-Jewish Advisory Council, a new national group of leading Muslim and Jewish Americans. Convened by AJC and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Council will, among other things, develop a coordinated strategy to address anti-Muslim bigotry and anti-Semitism in the U.S. Initial members of the Council include prominent rabbis, imams, members of Congress, and business leaders. See the full list.

One of the names on the list is that of Sayyid Syeed. Sayyid Muhammad Syeed is the Secretary General of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), an organization that enforces Wahhabi theological writ in some 1,200 mosques in America. Counter-terrorism expert Stephen Schwartz describes the ISNA as “one of the chief conduits through which the radical Saudi form of Islam passes into the United States.” Dallas Morning News editorial writer and columnist Rod Dreher stated, after he and the rest of that publication’s editorial board questioned Saeed about extremists within his organization, that “Dr. Saeed and his ilk are no friends of moderation and tolerance.”

According to the AJC website:

About AJC

Who We Are

For more than a century, AJC has been the leading global Jewish advocacy organization. With offices across the United States and around the globe, and partnerships with Jewish communities worldwide, AJC works to enhance the well-being of the Jewish people and to advance human rights and democratic values for all.

[ … ]

Interreligious and Intergroup Coalition Building

Through establishing important local and global alliances among diverse ethnic and religious groups, AJC builds coalitions to advance issues of common concern.

So what is ISNA?

According to Discover the Networks:

The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) was established in July 1981 by U.S-based members of the Muslim Brotherhood who also had a background as leaders of the Muslim Students Association (MSA). As author and terrorism expert Steven Emerson puts it, ISNA “grew out of the Muslim Students Association, which … was founded by Brotherhood members.” Indeed, Muslim Brothers would dominate ISNA’s leadership throughout its early years, when the Society was highly dependent upon Saudi funding. ISNA’s founding mission was “to advance the cause of Islam and serve Muslims in North America so as to enable them to adopt Islam as a complete way of life.”

[ … ]

Based on a mid-1980s investigation, the FBI concluded that the Muslim Brotherhood members who founded U.S.-based groups had risen to “leadership roles within NAIT [North American Islamic Trust] and its related organizations,” including ISNA, “which means they are in a position to direct the activities and support of Muslims in the U.S. for the Islamic Revolution.” Expanding on this, a late-’80s FBI memo said:

“Within the organizational structure of NAIT, there have been numerous groups and individuals identified as being a part of a covert network of revolutionaries who have clearly indicated there (sic) support for the Islamic Revolution as advocated by the Ayatollah Khomeini and his government as well as other fanatical Islamic Shiite fundamentalist leaders in the Middle East. This faction of Muslims have declared war on the United States, Israel and any other country they deem as an enemy of Islam. The common bond between these various organizations is both religious and political with the underlying common goal being to further the holy war (Islamic Jihad).”

Declassified FBI memos indicate that ISNA was identified as a Muslim Brotherhood front as early as 1987. “The entire organization is structured, controlled and funded by followers and supporters of the Islamic Revolution as advocated by the founders” of the Brotherhood in Egypt, said one source. In August 1988, that same source furnished the FBI with a private ISNA document “clearly stat[ing] that ISNA has a political goal to exert influence on political decision making and legislation in North America that is contrary to their certification in their not-for-profit tax returns as filed both with the State of Indiana and with IRS.” And a 1988 U.S. Muslim Brotherhood document bluntly identified ISNA as part of the “apparatus of the Brotherhood.”

It would appear that AJC is now sleeping with its sworn enemy.
