Obama
Jim Hoft
says Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano defended Obama’s
intelligence chief saying, "He didn’t have to know about the London
terror plot." Obama Intelligence Chief James Clapper was surprised
in an interview last week to hear that several terror suspects had been
arrested in Britain in an anti-terror sweep -- the largest
counterterrorism raid in nearly two years.
James Clapper is the
principal adviser to President Obama, the National Security Council, and
the Homeland Security Council for intelligence matters related to
national security.
FOX Nation reported this from Mediaite:
I knew. [Chief Counterterrorism
Advisor] John Brennan knew. We also knew there was no connect
that had been perceived to anything going on in the homeland and
that we were in perfect connectivity with our colleagues in Britain.
So one of the things I think that should be very clear to the
American people is that those of us in homeland security who needed
to know, we knew.
It’s good to know that this guy is the principal
advisor to Obama, huh?

House Panel Wants Homeland Security
Documents
Alan Fram says a House committee has asked the
Homeland Security Department to provide documents about an agency policy
that required political appointees to review many Freedom of Information
Act requests, according to a letter obtained Sunday by The Associated
Press.
The letter to Homeland Security was sent late Friday by
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee. It represents an early move by House
Republicans who have vowed to launch numerous probes of Barack Obama's
administration, ranging from its implementation of the new health care
law to rules curbing air pollution to spending in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Associated Press reported in July that for at least a year,
Homeland Security had sidetracked hundreds of requests for federal
records to top political advisers to the department's secretary, Janet
Napolitano. The political appointees wanted information about
those requesting the materials, and in some cases the release of
documents considered politically sensitive was delayed, according to
numerous e-mails that were obtained by the AP.
The Freedom of
Information Act is supposed to ensure the quick public release of
requested government documents without political consideration.
Obama has said his administration would emphasize openness in providing
requested federal records.
According to Issa's letter, Homeland
Security's chief privacy officer and FOIA official told committee staff
in September that political appointees were simply made aware of
"significant and potentially controversial requests."
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano
issued a stern warning to Mexican drug cartels on Monday.
The cartel leaders must be shaking
in their boots.
Napolitano, speaking at the
University of Texas at El Paso, said the southern U.S. border has never
been more secure than in recent years and public officials who argue
otherwise do so to "score political points."
"It is inaccurate to state, as too many
have, that the border is overrun with violence and out of control."
... "This statement -- often made only to score political points --
is just plain wrong."
"Not only does it ignore all of the
statistical evidence, it also belittles the significant progress
that effective law enforcement has made to protect this border and
the people who live alongside it."
Lies, damned
lies, and statistics.
"Today I say to the cartels: Don’t even think
about bringing your violence and tactics across this border.
You will be met by an overwhelming response. And we’re going
to continue to work with our partners in Mexico to dismantle and
defeat you.
Tee hee! Mental image of brutal cartel leaders rolling around on
the floor, laughing.
"And that message extends to anyone
considering coming across that border illegally, whether a smuggler,
a human trafficker, or an unlawful immigrant seeking work."
Al Qaeda,
Hezbolla, and Muslim Brotherhood members are, of course, welcome, so
they may make what Obama refers to as another positive contribution to
America by Muslims.
The nearly brain-dead Napolitano throws around a number
of stats showing arrests are up, deportations are up, drug seizures are
up, and monies seized are up, as evidence of things getting better.
A more skeptical view of those stats would indicate that not only is
the border totally out of control, but the stats are up because more
illegals are entering the country as Mexico nears anarchy, and as more
cartels are smuggling more drugs and terrorists into the country.
Week after week, more and more Americans are kidnapped and murdered along
Napolitano's "more secure" border.
This woman has to have pictures of
Obama in bed with a nine year-old boy and a goat. It's the only
reason I can think of that she still occupies that office.
Shocker! Nukes Have Been Found In America
San Diego's 10News was
granted access
to San Diego's seaport for a firsthand look at how Customs and Border
Protection officers safeguard against weapons of mass effect.
10News investigative reporter Mitch Blacher asked Al Hallor, who is the
Assistant Port Director and an officer with Customs and Border
Protection, "Do you ever find things that are dangerous like a chemical
agent or a weaponized device?"
Hallor: "At the airport, seaport, at our port
of entry we have not this past fiscal year, but our partner agencies
have found those things,"
Blacher: "So, specifically, you're
looking for the dirty bomb? You're looking for the nuclear
device?"
Hallor: "Correct. Weapons of mass effect."
Blacher: "You ever found one?"
Hallor: "Not at this
location."
Blacher: "But they have found them?"
Hallor:
"Yes."
Blacher: "You never found one in San Diego though?"
Hallor: "I would say at the port of San Diego we have not."
At this point, the interview was interrupted by the
agency's public relations person.
There you go. An assistant
port director has spilled the beans on a possible major government cover
up. During the conversation the Port Authority's public relations
person
continually interrupted the officer in an attempt to get him to shut up.
Just five days ago, on February 9th, Janet Napolitano
lied to Congress. She said that the Homeland Security
department is more prepared than ever to deal with the threat posed by
weapons of mass destruction.
"I would say that we are more
prepared now than we were two years ago, and two years ago we were more
prepared than two years before then," Napolitano said in testimony to
the House Homeland Security Committee.
This, and the next item are
related. Under Obama there is no such thing as "national
security."
Where Did Obama Find This Liar?
Yesterday, Department of Homeland Security
Secretary Janet Napolitano
lashed out at border critics, flatly denying claims that problems along the Southwestern
border are "out of control."
"The border is simply not the same
as it was two years ago," Napolitano said in a speech Friday at the Newseum in Washington.
Napolitano argued that these
"misconceptions" are "just plain wrong," and touted the praises of the
Obama administration's efforts to secure the area.
According to
Napolitano, border security has increased under the Obama administration
and said, "American border communities are safe and open for business."
Hey Janet! Tell it to these two guys.
A mixed martial arts
fighter was one of two Americans
gunned down in an execution-style
killing near the San Ysidro border crossing Monday morning.
Mexican authorities say Sergio Salcido Luna and Kevin Joel Romero
were waiting in their company truck while waiting to cross into the U.S.
before dawn.
A gunman walked up to the white Mazda truck with
California license plates and opened fire at least five times, killing
both men as they sat in traffic.
Investigators are still trying
to determine a motive for the killing. Salcido, 25, was a professional
fighter who began his career in MMA in Bakersfield.
There are
more killings along the American-Mexican
border than in Afghanistan, but Napolitano prefers to lie to the
American People.
But we proletarians who manifest such sentiments had
best beware of the Department of Homeland Security and its commandant,
Big Sis Napolitano.
A proud assertion of patriotism by Americans who
actually mean
it may well succeed in
marking one as a Suspected
Domestic Terrorist.
Veteran law enforcement officer James Wesley Rawles
has attended training classes throughout his 18 years of service.
But he writes that, over the years "courses have moved away from a local
community focus to a federally dominated model of complete social
control." And the majority of these courses are sponsored by the
Department of Homeland Security, that is, the TSA and FEMA.
According to the Department, potentially dangerous
types are members of militias and "extremists," so
defined by their tendencies
toward:
•
Libertarian views; • Support for the Second Amendment; •
Stockpiling of food and ammo; • Buying gold or silver; • Fear of Big
Brother and the overreach of government; • Home schooling; • Belief in one’s
Constitutional rights; and • "Unacceptable" religious views
Not only are law enforcement officers told to develop
relationships with small business owners in order to determine who might
be "stockpiling," they are trained to manufacture evidence of terrorist
intent. When "lengths of pipe, gunpowder, matches, flammable
liquids and fireworks" are found at a residence, "officers are told…they
can be listed as 'bomb making materials,'" continues Rawles.
So reload ammunition, keep gasoline for your lawn
mower, or smoke cigarettes and your terrorist credentials are
certifiable.
Rawles also writes that one of his federal trainers
warned of those who admire the Constitution. "These people
actually believe the 2nd amendment gives them the personal right to own
a gun," said this mental dwarf to a generally stunned audience.
He also recommended that officers "be cautious of
anyone who quotes the Constitution and even worse, actually possesses a
copy of this radical document."
That the United States and liberty of the American
people are threatened by the Obama Regime is obvious understatement.
Terrorist Group Setting Up Operations Near
Border
San Diego News
is reporting
a terrorist organization whose home base is in the Middle East has
established another home base across the border in Mexico. "They
are recognized by many experts as the 'A' team of Muslim terrorist
organizations," a former U.S. intelligence agent told 10News. The
former agent, referring to Shi'a Muslim terrorist group Hezbollah,
added, "They certainly have had successes in big-ticket bombings."
Some of the group's bombings include the U.S. embassy in Beirut and
Israeli embassy in Argentina.
However, the group is now active
much closer to San Diego. "We are looking at 15 or 20 years that
Hezbollah has been setting up shop in Mexico," the agent told 10News.
Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, U.S. policy has focused on
al-Qaida and its offshoots. "They are more shooters than thinkers
… it's a lot of muscles, courage, desire but not a lot of training," the
agent said, referring to al-Qaida. Hezbollah, he said, is far more
advanced.
"Their operators are far more skilled … they are the
equals of Russians, Chinese or Cubans," he said. "I consider
Hezbollah much more dangerous in that sense because of strategic
thinking; they think more long-term." Hezbollah has operated in
South America for decades and then Central America, along with their
sometime rival, sometime ally Hamas.
Now, the group is blending
into Shi'a Muslim communities in Mexico, including Tijuana. Other
pockets along the U.S.-Mexico border region remain largely unidentified
as U.S. intelligence agencies are focused on the drug trade. "They
have had clandestine training in how to live in foreign hostile
territories," the agent said.
The agent, who has spent years deep
undercover in Mexico, said Hezbollah is partnering with drug
organizations, but which ones is not clear at this time. He told
10News the group receives cartel cash and protection in exchange for
Hezbollah expertise. "From money laundering to firearms training
and explosives training," the agent said.
For example, he
tracked, along with Mexican intelligence, two Hezbollah operatives in
safe houses in Tijuana and Durango. "I confirmed the participation
of cartel members as well as other Hezbollah individuals living and
operating out of there," he said.
Tunnels the cartels have built
that cross from Mexico into the U.S. have grown increasingly
sophisticated. It is a learned skill, the agent said points to
Hezbollah's involvement. "Where are the knowledgeable tunnel
builders? Certainly in the Middle East," he said.
Why have
Americans not heard more about Hezbollah's activities happening so close
to the border? "If they really wanted to start blowing stuff up,
they could do it," the agent said.
According to the agent, the
organization sees the U.S. as their "cash cow," with illegal drug and
immigration operations. Many senior Hezbollah leaders are wealthy
businessmen, the agent said. "The money they are sending back to
Lebanon is too important right now to jeopardize those operations," he
said. The agent said the real concern is the group's long-term
goal of radicalizing Muslim communities. "They're focusing on
developing … infiltrating communities within North America," the agent
told 10News.
The Person In Charge Of
America's Security
According to Napolitano's Homeland Security
Department, Muslim men under the age of 35 aren't the problem, potentially dangerous
types are members of militias and "extremists," so
defined by their tendencies
toward:
•
Libertarian views; • Support for the Second Amendment; •
Stockpiling of food and ammo; • Buying gold or silver; • Fear of Big
Brother and the overreach of government; • Home schooling; • Belief in one’s
Constitutional rights; and • "Unacceptable" religious views
Obama's crowd sees Americans as the enemy, not Muslims. What does
that tell you?
