Who Wants To Get Together To Visit A Mosque?

I wonder if we could put together a group of people to visit New York City?

We wouldn’t actually visit a mosque, just gather around outside of one.

Specifically, the mosque on 96th Street.

That is where the Muslim “Brothers Of Revolution” have set up shop.

As you will see in the video, they have picked this area to spout off their anti-American drivel, and to foster terrorism against American citizens.

And, as we here at the Freedom Medium reported back in June. the citizens of New York City are too cowardly to do anything.

These radical Islamists want to preach terrorism, I think it’s time to show them what it is like to be terrified.

Because if a few hundred patriotic Americans were to suddenly come around the corner to discuss terrorism with them, the word would gain an entirely new meaning for them.

Imagine a member, past or present, of America’s military, someone from the Oathkeepers or the Patriot Riders, or any other patriotic American walking up to these goons one-on-one, standing directly in front of him, and saying:

“OK pal, I’m an infidel. Here I am. Go ahead and terrorize me.”

So, who’s up for a road trip?

Political Correctness Played A Part In The Fort Hood Shootings

I have never been one to be “politically correct.”

And I am not about to break the pattern with this article, so be forewarned.

There are two factors that led to the shooting rampage at Fort Hood.

One is political correctness, the other is a severely flawed U. S. military policy.

As far back as six months ago, the alleged Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Malik Hasan was brought to the attention of the FBI over suspected comments he had made on a website.

It is now coming to light that Hasan had also been known to make some of the same sorts of remarks to his fellow soldiers at Fort Hood.

Among these were such red-flags as:

Describing the U.S. Army as the aggressor in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“If one suicide bomber can kill 100 enemy soldiers because they were caught off guard that would be considered a strategic victory.”
It’s being said that he had compared a soldier who died smothering a grenade blast to “suicide bombers whose intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers.”

Now if both the FBI and the military both knew, or even suspected, that these were the beliefs of this man, why was nothing done about it?

Have we gone this far down the path of fearing being charged with ethnic profiling that we allow a man who appears to have radical Islamist ideals to be a member of our armed forces?

During a time of war, Hasan should have been investigated, brought up omn charges under the UCMJ (Uniform Code Of Military Justice, and dishonorably discharged.

President Obama has promised a full investigation of the circumstances that led to this tragedy, and I hope he starts with the chain-of-command at Fort Hood, and at any other military base where Hasan may have been stationed.

The second thing that was a direct factor in this tragedy is the idiotic U.S. military policy which does not allow the carrying of loaded weapons on base.

This is contrary to the policy of almost every military training facility in the world.

If the troops at Fort Hood had been allowed to carry the weapons that they train with, this would have had a much different outcome.

Instead, it took the brave actions of a civilian female police officer to bring an end to Hasan’s rampage.

What in the hell is wrong with this picture when the largest military facilty in the world has to contract out with a civilian police force to provide base security?

I am furious about what happened at Fort Hood for a number of reasons, but there are two that really hit close to home.

One is that a close family friend has a son stationed at Fort Hood, and we agonized for hours before learning that he was OK.

The other is that next May my daughter leaves for the Marine Corps Recruit Depot at Parris Island.

Up until now, I have felt somewhat secure for her safety in knowing that the odds are highly against her being assigned to a front-line combat unit.
At least that is the policy right now.

Now I am left with the thought that, in spite of receiving the finest traing that the U.S. military has to offer. i have to fear for her safety while she is still stateside?

President Obama and I agree on almost nothing he proposes.

If he were to overturn this ludicrous policy prohibiting uniformed personel from carrying loaded weapons on-base, for that measure he would have my fullhearted support.

I am hoping that, not just for the sake of my daughter, but for the sake of all of the brave men and women who serve in our military, that in this day and age of war and terrorism, the least we can do is allow them the means to protect themselves.

Update: Late Breaking News: Fort Hood Shooter Had Links To 9-11 Terrorists

Do The Benefits Of Jihadist Training Camps In America Outweigh The Risks?

We just did a story on what we feel is the failure of the Department of Homeland Security to keep America safe.

And it generated comments from two sides of the fence, both whom claim to have experience in undercover intellegence operations.
You can read the original article and the comments here.

Of course, we have no means to verify or disprove undercover ops experience of the commenters.

One individual, going under the pseudonym Cherokee Parks, clearly understood the satirical nature of our implying that Janet Napolitano was getting her information from us.
And the point we were trying to make.
The other didn’t.

Regardless, the other person went on about how we have no idea of what is being done in order to keep America safe.
And stated that our “exaggerated journalism”  “reflects poorly on all of us.”
This individual also took the position that these jihadist training camps on American soil are common knowledge.

Let’s tackle that last one first.

After we closed up shop, Salvaterra and I went to one of our favorite spots to get a pizza and a few beers.
We are fairly well-know at this place, and we publicly asked the people there if they had ever heard of terrorist training camps here in America.
Out of roughly 40 people who were in the place, not one of them had ever heard of such a thing.

So much for exaggerated journalism.

Now, as to this person’s other position that everything that can be done is being done, we have one word:

Bull*hit!

Neither of us have any experience in intellegence gathering operations.
What we do have is common sense.

Which leads us to ask, what possible benefit is there to be gained by allowing these camps to exist?

Even if there is a CIA or FBI agent working undercover in one of these terrorist training grounds, what information is this agent likely to learn?

If the head jihadist receives word that another 9-11 style attack is forthcoming, will that person really be stupid enough to share that information with everyone in the camp?
Net gain.
Nothing.

Perhaps this person would learn of an additional training camp opening at another location.

Seeing as how the DHS doesn’t see fit to do anything as to the camps it does know about, what good does this information do?

We need someone to explain to us how in the world allowing these camps to operate right here in America is an effective strategy in keeping us safe.

Because it is our opinion that a group of terrorists who are already in this country, and could decide at any moment to leave the camp in order to kill civilians or to destroy an American city are a threat that needs to be dealt with in no uncertain terms.
James Bond tactics be damned.

And we can’t place all of the blame on Napolitano’s shoulders.

Former DHS directors Tom Ridge and Michael Chertoff are just as guilty for allowing this.

What is different now is, what do you think would would happen if say, members of a gun club or a veterans organization were to open up a similar style training camp?

Janet “you’re all potential domestic terrorists” Napolitano would call out a SWAT team and swarm the place faster than you could blink.

Of course, offending America’s veterans and offending a group of Muslim terrorists are two different things.

Again, we have no background in intellegence operations.

Therefore, we need someone to explain to us how allowing these camps to exist outweighs the dire risk that they pose.

A risk that could become a reality at any time.

The Department Of Homeland Security Finally Catches Up With The Freedom Medium

Janet Napolitano and her crew at the Department Of Homeland Security finally found us.

She must have stumbled across us, read some of our commentary, watched the Fox News videos, and started to become aware of what we have been talking about for months.

And we don’t mind her taking credit for our hard work, we just wish she had started paying attention a little sooner.

On October 12th, she made the following statements in an interview with Bloomberg TV:

“It is fair to say there are individuals in the United States who ascribe to al-Qaeda-type beliefs.”
“And so it makes information-sharing, it makes effective law enforcement and it makes the shared responsibility of law enforcement ever so important.”

Ms. Napolitano, we shared the sort of information that you are just now talking about months ago!

Take a look at updates to just two of our reports on this topic:

Back in April, we found that there are at least 35 Jihadist training camps right here in America, primarily on the eastern end of the country.
The Fox News video below outlines the practices of this movement, but our research uncovered more troubling information.

For instance, in just one example of what the government is allowing to take place on our own soil, there is a 50 acre jihadist training compound near the town of Red House in Virginia.
If you are down that way, it’s easy enough to find as there is a street sign pointing out the road to Sheikh Gilani Lane.
Sheikh Gilani is reported to be a close ally of Osama bin Laden.
Mubarak Ali Gilani is on record as having said that he wants to “purify” Islam through violent actions.

We also uncovered the fact that at all of these training camps, there is a sign identifying the groups as “The Muslims of the Americas.”
What you won’t see are any signs explaining that the name these groups use is an offshoot of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, a sister agency of Al-Qaeda.

In another example, there is a terrorist training camp near Hancock, N.Y. that calls itself “Islamberg.”
It is run by Ghulam Mustafa, another individual with close ties to Osama bin Laden.
Mustafa plays an important role in Al-Qaeda’s planning and financing.

If all of this wasn’t disturbing enough, then I came across this story in the New York Post reporting how members of al-Shabab, a radical Islamic group based in Somalia that has ties to both Al Qaeda and Somali pirates, have taken 20 young men from Minnesota to fight in Somalia. You can read the story here.

The facts we uncovered, along with the information in the video, are truly alarming.
Maybe the DHS should hire someone to read reports like ours, and to watch for similar news reports like this one:

Then, in July, we did an article reporting on how nearly 500 members of Hizb-Ut-Tahrir held a convention in a Chicago-area Hilton Hotel.

Although not officially recognized as a terrorist organization by the State Department, many terrorism experts, one example of which is shown in the video appearing a little later in this article, consider them to be more of a threat to America’s security than al-Qaeda.

The man appearing in the video, Walid Phares, explains how Hizb-Ut-Tahrir trains youth between the ages of 9 to 18 in the ideology of “Khilafah”, which is a fundamental belief in the rule of Islamic law no matter what the means that may be taken to achieve it.

A spokesman for the group, Mohammad Malkawi claims that the group condemns terrorism in any form.

That statement would appear to be at odds with actions taken by some of the groups alumni, such as Khalid Skeikh Mohammed, the alleged plotter of the 9-11 attacks, to name just one.

Watch the video:

Malkawi also made the statement that the objective of the group is ”To create an Islamic state of Khilafah in the Muslim World.”

“The Muslim World.”

Last time we checked, Chicago was not the heartland of the Muslim world.

And as we said at the time, none of this will come as a surprise to our regular readers and subscribers.

And if we are paying close attention to these things, then why aren’t the people who are in charge of keeping us safe doing so?

How in the hell could Ms. Napolitano and her crew at the DHS fail to recognize that perhaps a convention of 500 supporters of a radical Islamic ideology, as well as numerous terrorist training camps scattered across America are a serious threat to the safety and security of this country?

“It is fair to say there are individuals in the United States who ascribe to al-Qaeda-type beliefs.”

Good God Almighty Janet, you’re just figuring that out NOW?

Where the hell have you been?

We have nowhere near the access to information that you do.

We have been talking about it for months, you are just coming to realize it now?

Maybe if you were one of our subscribers you wouldn’t be so far behind the curve.

OK Ms. Napolitano, we gave you the information.

Do you also need us to explain to you what your next step is?

As you said Janet, information sharing is important.

So the next time you need to know something, pay us a visit.

We are always glad to help.

And based on your statements, and by allowing these sort of things to take place on American soil, you need all the help you can get.

What Do Martin Luther King, Barack Obama, Elvis Presley And 9-11 Have In Common?

Today marks eight years since one of the darkest days in American history.

And I have spent days agonizing over what would be appropriate to commememorate the events of that faithful day.

There will be millions of people doing the same thing today.

Myself, I am not a professional speechmaker, I am just a simple man who loves his country.

I still get a tear in my eye when I hear the playing of the national anthem.

I also know that, no matter the platitudes or the placating gestures our President makes, there are still many people who desire nothing more than the utter destruction of this land that I love.

And that pretty speeches and needless apologies aren’t going to change that.

President Obama, please listen to the words of two of my favorite people of all time, and come to understand something.

The dream of everyone in the world living in peace, while the world is filled with people who are bent on our country’s destruction, is just that.

A dream.

President Obama, your primary duty as President is to take whatever steps that are necessary to be sure that we never see a repeat of those images.

Your primary duty as a human being is to see to it that never again does someone feel compelled to make a video such as this one:

Obama Designates Sept. 11th As National Socialism Day

We don’t need to rehash the events of September 11th, 2001.

All true Americans have their memories of that fateful day, and remember it in their own ways.

As the anniversary of 9-11 approached, some pinhead member of Congress made a motion that the day be made a national holiday.

For once, common sense prevailed, once it was pointed out to this moron that it was not proper to honor the memories of the people who lost their lives that day with a day off from work and a backyard cookout.

Now President Obama has taken common sense and kicked it through the West Wing windows.

In another move toward creating the United Socialist States of America, the Obama administration wants to turn September 11th into a “National Day Of Service.”

Up till now, September 11th has been a day of reflection and rememberance of the nearly 3,000 people murdered in one single day by Islamic terrorists.

Now, the President wants it to be a day of global warming awareness, activism, food banks and voter registration drives.

Obama’s plans were outlined in a teleconference call with, among others, Lennox Yearwood, head of the Hip Hop Caucus.

Van Jones, Obama’s “green jobs” czar, appeared in a video on the official White House blog claiming that the “National Day Of Service will be chance “for people to connect, to find other people in your peer group who are passionate about repowering America but also greening up America and cleaning up America.”

Perhaps in the world of the Kool-Aid Brigade all of this makes sense.
Do a food drive, tell each other lies about “climate change”, and register some new members of Obama’s Army.

But why in the hell pick September 11th, one of the darkest days in the history of this nation, to do it?

Simple.

Because on that day, for the majority of Americans, their thoughts turn to the innocent men and women, going about their day to day lives, who died.
They think about the bravery of the first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice in trying to save people’s lives.
And more than a few of us are still filled with a terrible resolve to see to it that such a thing never happens again.

This scares Obama and his followers.

They don’t want people thinking about patriotism and love of country.
They don’t want people to think that terrorist attacks are still the number one danger facing this country.

I think that what amazes me the most about this administration is that every time I think that they have come up with the ultimate hair-brained, un-American proposal, they devise an even more outlandish plot.

Well, this September 11th you nitwits enjoy your National Day Of Service.
Sit around, hold hands and sing Kumbaya.

As for myself, as well as anyone else with any grip on reality, I will spend the day reflecting on what it truly means.

DHS Is Not Invited To Terrorist Convention In Obama’s Hometown

Recently, nearly 500 members of Hizb-Ut-Tahrir held a convention in a Chicago-area Hilton Hotel.

Although not officially recognized as a terrorist organization by the State Department, many terrorism experts, one example of which is shown in the video appearing a little later in this article, consider them to be more of a threat to America’s security than al-Qaeda.

The man appearing in the video, Walid Phares, explains how Hizb-Ut-Tahrir  trains youth between the ages of 9 to 18 in the ideology of “Khilafah”, which is a fundamental belief in the rule of Islamic law no matter what the means that may be taken to achieve it.

A spokesman for  the group, Mohammad Malkawi claims that the group condemns terrorism in any form.

That statement would appear to be at odds with actions taken by some of the groups alumni, such as Khalid Skeikh Mohammed, the alleged plotter of the 9-11 attacks, to name just one.

Watch the video:

Malkawi also made the statement that the objective of the group is”To create an Islamic state of Khilafah in the Muslim world.”

“The Muslim world.”

Last time we checked, Chicago was not the heartland of the Muslim world.

Of course, none of this will come as a surprise to our regular readers and subscribers.

Back in April, we reported on how Jihadist terror cells have been training right here on American soil.

We pointed out that there are at least 35 of these terror cells in our country, such as a 50 acre compound in Virginia, or another camp in New York that calls itself “Islamberg”.

We also made mention of reports revealing that al-Shabab, a radical Islamic group based in Somalia that has ties to al-Qaeda as well as Somali pirates were recruting young men from Minnesota to become part of their piracy network.

All of us are left wondering where is Janet Napolitano and the rest of the Department of Homeland Security while all of this is going on.

What sort of death and destruction will have to befall America before Ms. Napolitano and her crew at the DHS recognize that perhaps a convention of 500 supporters of a radical Islamic ideology, as well as numerous terrorist training camps scattered across America are the true “potential domestic terrorists?”

Any of you wondering why a Hilton hotel would host such a convention, visit our friend Pamela at Atlas Shrugs.

George Bush Was The Worst President Ever!

The mainstream media is still ranting about how they consider George Bush to be the worst man ever to have been President.

And if you didn’t know better, by listening to them you would think that Bush is about as smart as a bag of hammers.

As for my thoughts about the mainstream media, I wouldn’t believe a talking-head such as Charles Gibson or Katie Couric if they told me water was wet!

Let’s do a little history lesson just to see how stupid Bush really was:

1979: Islamic militants sieze the U.S. embassy in Tehran and hold 52 Americans hostage for the next 444 days. Barack Obama’s older brother, Jimmy Carter, does nothing.
On the day of Ronald Reagan’s inauguration, the militants, knowing there was a new sheriff in town, one who just might turn the captors into sub-atomic particles, release the hostages.

1980’s: 17 killed at the U.S. embassy in Beirut, 241 killed at the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut.
Believing that Lybian dictator Moammar Kadafi is behind the attacks that have plagued U.S. interests throughout the decade, Reagan has American planes bomb targets in Libya, killing dozens.
Kadafi climbs inside a camel’s ass and pretty much keeps to himself for the next 25 years.

1990/1991: Iraq invades Kuwait.
George Bush senior forms a coalition of 32 nations and invades Iraq.
Within a few weeks time, what little is left of the Iraq army leaves Kuwait.
Saddam Hussein doesn’t get what he deserves until the next Bush becomes president.

1992-2000: Bill Clinton spends his years in the White House ruining Monica Lewinsky’s dress.
And while he’s busy with affairs of state, we get the following:

1993: A 1500 pound car bomb detonates below Tower One of the World Trade Center, killing 6 people and injuring 1,042.

1996: Members of the Hizballah Al-Hijaz explode a fuel truck outside the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, killing 24 U.S. servicemen.

2000: In October, towards the end (thank God) of Clinton’s presidency, a small craft explodes next to the USS Cole, blowing a 40 by 60 foot hole in the ship’s hull, killing 17 sailors and injuring 39 others.
Clinton, throughout all these acts of terrorism against America, spends his 8 years in the White House worrying about impeachment and where his next intern is coming from.

These little snippets of history contain an important lesson for the current Islamic Jihadist-appeasing occupant of the White House.

You can sit back and do nothing, as did Clinton and Carter, and further embolden the enemies of America.

Or you can follow the path taken by Reagan and Bush 1 and 2, and strike back, letting the people hell-bent on the destruction of America know that they will pay a terrible price for their actions against us.

Mr. President, I pray that you have a change of heart, and come to realize that not only does this nation still face a grave danger from our foes, your actions are only making matters worse, and leaving this country wide-open to another 9-11 type of attack.

And never again in my lifetime do I want to see someone compelled to make a video like this:

People In New York Need To Lighten Up About Air Force One Flyover

Once again, Michelle Malkin reports on the things that the rest of America’s media choose to ignore.

It seems that President Obama feels that the thousands of New Yorkers who were terrified when Air Force One was circling Manhattan are making a big deal out of nothing.

Click Here to read how Michelle reports on how President Obama joked about all of it.

President Obama And The Grizzly Bears

This is one of the best analogies I have seen in quite some time:

There was a man who went to Alaska to live with the grizzly bears. He thought that if he went among them thinking they were not really thousand pound killing machines but affable fuzzballs who were just misunderstood by man that he could become a part of their family.

The arrangement worked fine until one day the man did something the bears didn’t like and they attacked him and his girlfriend and ate them. True story.

There is a lesson to be learned from this sordid tale. The man actually thought he was doing a good thing, showing the gentle side of grizzly bears but he forgot one thing… Read the rest of this entry
