Not hard to believe when you consider the level of infiltration by terror-tied Muslim Brotherhood groups like CAIR, ISNA, MAS, MSA, et al etc. Designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terror group and we can purge these monsters.
Research Has Uncovered $41 Million Of Taxpayer-Subsidized Islamism
Since 2007, federal government agencies have handed over $47 million to 61 Islamic institutions in the forms of 411 various grants and contracts.
By Sam Westrop, May 2, 2019:
Story continues below advertisementIn total, if the government’s own data is accurate, at least $41 million was given to institutions either controlled or under the partial influence of the Muslim Brotherhood, Jamaat-e-Islami (a violent South Asian Islamist movement), Salafis, Deobandis (a hardline South Asian Sunni sect from which the Taliban was created) and the Iranian regime, among others.
Some of the largest amounts involve grants to aid charities. Long favored by Islamist movements as a means to spread ideology through welfare, charities also provide extremists with plentiful funding and the occasional accompanying credibility of government partnership.
The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), for instance, received over $10 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for disaster relief work in 2016 and 2018. ICNA is the U.S. representative body of Jamaat-e-Islami, which was recently banned by the Indian government in the Kashmir region because of its involvement with “extremism and militancy in Jammu and Kashmir and elsewhere.”
ICNA and its subsidiaries openly partner with official Jamaat-e-Islami organizations in Pakistan, such as Al Khidmat Foundation, a funder of the designated terrorist organization Hamas. The Investigative Project on Terrorism has noted that Al Khidmat’s President, Naeem ur-Rehman, is closely involved with the designated Kashmiri jihadist group Hizbul Mujahideen.
In addition, ICNA runs an international aid branch, Helping Hand for Relief and Development, which has openly partnered in Pakistan with Lashkar-e-Taiba, a designated terrorist organization responsible for the deadly 2008 Mumbai attacks.
Another Jamaat-e-Islami charity, Muslim Aid, received over $1.5 million from the American taxpayer in 2013 for a “Food for Peace” program. Muslim Aid is based in Britain, but operates a fundraising office in America.
In 2010, three years before the U.S. government handed over taxpayers’ money to the charity, Muslim Aid admitted to funding organizations controlled by the terrorist organization Hamas, including a grant of over $18,000 to the al-Ihsan Charitable Society — which is designated by the U.S. government as a sponsor of terrorism. In 2013, the same year as the U.S. government grant, a war crimes tribunal sentenced to death in absentia the founder of Muslim Aid, Chowdhury Mueen-Uddin, for his part in the mass murder of teachers and intellectuals by Jamaat-e-Islami killing squads during Bangladesh’s 1971 Liberation War.
Other Islamist strains, meanwhile, also found generous taxpayer backing. For example, $115,000 of taxpayers’ money was handed to a Bin Laden-linked Sudanese charity, the Islamic Relief Agency, a decade after the U.S. Treasury designated it as a terrorist-financing organization. Lawmakers are now investigating the decision to award the grant.
Three organizations named by the United Arab Emirates as terrorist groups were approved for U.S. government funding. Islamic Relief, a global charitable franchise established by supporters and officials of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, received over $1.6 million, despite its extensively documented links to Hamas and other designated terrorist organizations.
These enormous sums to aid charities somewhat inflate the total figures. But the hundreds of remaining grants are not insignificant. Branches of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim American Society (MAS) collectively received over $310,000 from the taxpayer. Officials of both organizations (as well as CAIR itself) were named by federal prosecutors as unindicted coconspirators during the 2008 Holy Land Foundation terror financing trial.
Funds for CAIR and MAS were provided under a diverse range of government initiatives: Counter-terrorism security measures, disaster relief, chaplaincy programs, and school lunch vouchers. In fact, if large grants to aid charities are disregarded, chaplaincy contracts and schooling subsidies make up a significant proportion of government funding.
The Islamic Institute of Knowledge (IIOK), for example, is a Shiite institution in Dearborn, Michigan, which has received over $851,000 under the National School Lunch Program. IIOK does not hide its ideological links. It was established by Abdel Latif Berry, a disciple of Lebanon’s late Ayatollah Fadlallah, who served as a “spiritual advisor” to the designated terrorist group Hezbollah. In 2009, IIOK held a commemoration for Ayatollah Khomeini — the architect of the Iranian Revolution and its theocratic regime — at which Latif Berry spoke and praised Khomeini effusively.
Other lunch money recipients include over $38,000 to the Tarbiyah Islamic School of Delaware. In 2015 the Muslim journalist Asra Nomani revealed that the school was established by radical adherents of the hardline Deobandi sect. And another $31,000 was given to the Islamic Center of Passaic County, whose imam, Mohammad Qatanani, is accused by his mosque’s same governmental patrons of involvement with the terror group Hamas.
In other instances, the federal government has simply been in business with extremists. Between 2008 and 2010, the General Services Administration paid Dar Al Hijrah, a prominent mosque in Virginia, over half a million dollars for the lease of office buildings. A number of government agencies, however, have long considered Dar Al Hijrah a key terror hub. Its current imam, Shaker Elsayed, is an avowed supporter of Hamas.
The list goes on. In some instances, the data (which was gleaned from the government’s USASpending website) counts totals for some programs far below the amounts cited in a number of media reports, and so it is possible that the government’s data is incomplete, and that the real amounts are even larger. In addition, the figures do not include direct grants to Islamist institutions from state governments, a common occurrence in some parts of the country.
There are a number of possible, worrying conclusions to be drawn from these collated figures. First, it seems clear that government officials do not consider the ideological agendas of organizations to which they hand out taxpayers’ money, or the effect that such subsidies may have on ideologically fragmented Muslim communities. Second, as the generous grants to Islamic Relief and the ICNA network show, established funding or partnership with terrorist and extremist organizations has not precluded Islamist organizations from government patronage.
Third, funding to Islamist organizations has not been reduced under the Trump administration. In fact, it has increased: In 2018, 40 grants and contracts worth over $13 million were distributed to organizations controlled or influenced by radical movements; two years earlier, under Obama, only 35 grants worth a mere $3.6 million were handed out to radical-linked institutions.
Distressingly, one could be forgiven for glancing at these figures and concluding that Islamists control far too high a proportion of high-profile American Muslim institutions. Or, these figures could show that Islamists have become the preferred partner of government simply because Islamists are better organized, more savvy about the processes for acquiring government funding, and — in their perpetual efforts to acquire legitimacy — simply more motivated.
A bill currently before the Committee on Foreign Affairs, H. Res 160, seeks to end government funding to American proxies for the Jamaat-e-Islami Islamist network — including the Islamic Circle of North America and its subsidiary organizations. That is a welcome step, but there are many more Islamist strains to be tackled, and many more grants and contracts to be canceled.
In the fight against extremism and terror, the government could strike an immediate, enormous blow by urgently reviewing all this funding — curtailing taxpayers’ subsidization of international Islamist movements and identifying other moderate Muslim organizations with which to partner instead.

GWB President in 2007, peddling Islam as a “religion of peace” and paved the way for Obama.
BTW we are also missing 23 trillion dollars in federal money …
Imagine what that money could have done for a border wall, more ICE and security for our country.

Former CIA Officer Pleads Guilty to Conspiring With Chinese Agents…
Posted on May 1, 2019 by sundance
This is disturbing: “This is the third case in less than a year in which a former US intelligence officer has pled or been found guilty of conspiring with Chinese intelligence services to pass them national defense information.”
A former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) case officer pleaded guilty today to conspiring to communicate, deliver and transmit national defense information to the People’s Republic of China. Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers, U.S. Attorney G. Zachary Terwilliger for the Eastern District of Virginia, Assistant Director for Counterintelligence John Brown of the FBI and Assistant Director in Charge Nancy McNamara of the FBI’s Washington Field Office made the announcement after Senior U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III accepted the plea.
According to court documents, Jerry Chun Shing Lee, 54, left the CIA in 2007 and began residing in Hong Kong. In April 2010, two Chinese intelligence officers (IOs) approached Lee and offered to pay him for national defense information he had acquired as a CIA case officer. The IOs also told Lee they had prepared for him a gift of $100,000 cash, and they offered to take care of him “for life” in exchange for his cooperation.
Beginning sometime in May 2010 and continuing into at least 2011, Lee received requests for information, or taskings, from the Chinese IOs. The majority of the taskings asked Lee to reveal sensitive information about the CIA, including national defense information. On May 14, 2010, Lee made or caused to be made a cash deposit of $138,000 HKD (approximately $17,468 in USD) into his personal bank account in Hong Kong. This would be the first of hundreds of thousands of dollars (USD equivalent) in cash deposits Lee made or caused to be made into his personal HSBC account from May 2010 through December 2013.

Big Puzzle Pieces Connecting – The CIA, FBI, and 2016 Political Surveillance is Merging…
Posted on May 2, 2019 by sundance
The admissions within the New York Times story today -outlining how President Obama’s intelligence apparatus ran simultaneous intelligence operations against the Trump campaign- are starting to merge the FBI and CIA operations.
…
Everything after March 9th, 2016, are operations from both the CIA and FBI to hide the political surveillance that was going on before March 9th, 2016. The surveillance was happening through exploitation of the NSA database through unauthorized FISA search queries; and involved both the CIA and FBI.
This is the point that has not been emphasized enough. However, FISA Judge Rosemary Collyer outlined the connection, albeit with mandatory redactions. The connective evidence is in a footnote on page #87 of Collyer’s report that few are paying attention to:
…
♦The CIA track took place between March and July 2016, and consisted of using foreign intelligence allies in Italy, the U.K and Australia to create a background illusion of Russian involvement with the Trump campaign. This operation was based on earlier -more innocuous- contacts from various countries, weaponized and redeployed in what everyone calls “spygate”. This track successfully culminated in Operation Crossfire Hurricane.
♦The FBI track was domestic-centric, albeit sub-contracted to Fusion GPS and later a former British intelligence officer, and took place between April and October 2016; also to create the illusion of Russian involvement. This operation is best known around the Steele Dossier and FISA warrant against U.S. person Carter Page. The FBI track continued with the Mueller investigation into 2017, 2018 and 2019.

This was a global effort to get Trump out. It’s very disheartening to see our government whose salaries and fabulous pensions and healthcare we pay for cooperating to unseat our President.

Obama and Hillary backed the Muslim Brotherhood’s coup against Mubarak, then when the Muslim Brotherhood took over Egypt attempted to stop the military from preventing Egypt from falling into the hands of the jihadists. The US under Obama invested billions in this travesty. These actions prove beyond a doubt that Hillary and Obama under the direction of Valerie Jarrett were supporters of the jihadists everywhere. They spent BILLIONS in these efforts to oust somewhat moderate regimes and replace them with Jihadists. They even put a Muslim jihadist in charge of the CIA. It’s so obvious that it cannot be missed, yet it is covered up by the MSM to this day.

Ms. Geller had a news story here about a Coptic Christian who blogged his support for Israel under Mubarak’s regime in Egypt — he was imprisoned for doing so. It happened shortly before the Arab Spring and Mubarak’s deposition.

I Have no doubt that expressing support for Israel in nay Muslim country would be hazardous, but there are different degrees of hatred.I remember visiting Egypt on holiday back in the early 80’s and joining an Israeli tour group that was quite openly Israeli and felt secure. I doubt is that could occur under the Muslim Brotherhood.

Try publicly criticising the muslum death cult or muhamMAD their pedophile prophet for profit in today’s “liberal” Egyptistan — go ahead and try. BTW, Coptic Christians are still being persecuted under Sisi’s regime.

I have no doubt you are correct. Sisi was put into power backed by Saudi money. and is their puppet. Saudi Arabia is a family business and the Saudi royal family has already salted away an estimated 2 TRILLION and they are not to giving it up. Today they are cunningly plotting war and the destruction of their nemesis,Iran. They need Egyptian manpower to invade and restore the Pahlavi’s whose crown prince Raza is in training for the job.

They’re slick alright! They’re doing exactly what the Muslim Brotherhood manifesto dictates for ways to take the US from within. Little by little and slowly but surely it is working. People better wise up and start taking this threat seriously or we will end up just like the EU!

I am certain that each one of these grants and subsidies is accompanied by a large amount of government paperwork including all types of disclosures and assurances. All of these applications should be obtained by a FOIA request and thoroughly examined for evidence of fraud and perjury. Once this has been determined the information should be referred to the U.S Attorneys Office for investigation an prosecution. This will put these guys out of business very quickly. Those who perform this work may be eligible for whistleblower awards. Very good project for an individual who has the time and resources to pursue it.
A much larger source of funds for jihadists are obtained by Medicare/Medicaid related scams organized and run by Muslims who drain literally billions from these systems and I have no doubt much of the money ends up in the hands of Hamas and Hezbollah and other Islamic terrorist organizations.

Why is the US government subsidizing any charity?
If it is charity then it should operate on donated funds – not on taxpayer funds taken from the taxpayers by force to subsidize something that the individual taxpayer may not want.

They have infiltrated our government just as the commies did. McCarthy was absolutely right! It will be difficult to weed them out, especially since we have elected people like AOC, Talib and the third stooge, among MANY others. The Federal Government has so many leaks because of its unmanageable size, it will be very difficult to control.
