Spanish Military Report:
Islamic Terrorists Operate, Raise Cash in Latin America to Attack U.S.

Dear Friend --

Our Founder and President Brigitte Gabriel has been discussing this threat in detail, since she wrote her first book, "Because They Hate" in 2006.
Brigitte outlined perfectly how terrorists are using the Mexican border, by working with drug cartels to smuggle them into the United States.

Via Judicial Watch:
Latin America is a hotbed of Islamic terrorism where groups like ISIS and Hezbollah operate freely and raise large sums of money to finance terrorist activities in other countries, mainly the United States, according to a new report released by Spain’s Defense Ministry.
“Latin America represents an important region for Islamic radicalism because conditions enable the free, almost undetectable, movement of their members throughout the region,” the defense document states.
Governments in the region consider Islamic terrorism to be a foreign problem, the report says, and intelligence agencies are ill equipped to handle the threat they represent.
“The ignorance involving the threat of jihadist terrorism in Latin America has been such that some governments have refused to cooperate with U.S. authorities and other intelligence services,” the disturbing assessment reveals.
The report was released this month by the division of Spain’s Defense agency known as Instituto Español de Estudios Estratégicos (IEEE), Spanish Institute of Strategic Studies. The document, authored by a counterterrorism expert, is titled “El radicalismo islámico en América Latina. De Hezbolá al Daesh (Estado Islámico),” Islamic Radicalism in Latin America, from Hezbollah to ISIS.
The Lebanese group Hezbollah is identified as having the largest fundraising operations in the region, though others, such as ISIS, are also prominent.
The terrorist organizations have teamed up with established drug trafficking conglomerates to raise and launder large quantities of cash. The report identifies a group called El clan Barakat in Paraguay and Joumaa in Colombia as two examples of drug trafficking enterprises that have long worked with Islamic jihadists to launder money.
Spain’s military experts refer to the relationships as a “marriage of convenience” between Latin American organized crime and Muslim terrorists with different objectives and interests.
“Each takes advantage of the benefits that the relationship provides,” the report states.”

Media silent on shocking refugee attack

Once again, the mainstream media has turned its back on a horrific crime committed by a refugee. As per usual, any story that does not conform to their politically correct narrative is of no interest to them.

A refugee newly arrived from Somalia has been tried and convicted for attempting to sexually assault a special-needs woman while she was sitting outside of a home for the disabled in Aberdeen, South Dakota.
Liban Mohamed, 39, was in the United States for only about a week when he tried to force himself on a 31-year-old woman with severe disabilities. He is not a U.S. citizen, but whether he will be deported in the wake of his conviction remains unclear.
The trial for Mohamed was held just a few days before Christmas and not a word of the conviction has made it into the local media, residents of Aberdeen told WND on Tuesday.
Mohamed speaks no English and required two interpreters at trial, according to the state’s attorney who prosecuted the case.
“I do know he lived in Aberdeen,” prosecutor Christopher White told WND. “The day that it happened, he was staying at the White House Inn hotel in Aberdeen. What came out at trial, in his defense attorney’s opening statement, was that he arrived in Aberdeen that day and had only been in the United States for approximately a week, and he had come to work at the beef plant in Aberdeen. But I don’t know if he had already started working or was about to start work there.”
Mohamed mentioned to law enforcement that he had been hired on at the Demkota Ranch beef plant, White said.

Make Congress End the Refugee Flow Once and For All

Dear Elaine ,
With his time as President running out, Barack Obama is looking to exploit any opportunity possible, as a means of finalizing his agenda.
Not on our watch.
If Congress should falter, and approve an appropriation concerning President Obama's request for funding the importation of additional refugees across our borders, we will pay a price indefinitely.
Unless Congress appropriates the money in the Continuing Resolution expected on the floor by December 8th, we can render the refugee program powerless through financial starvation.

to send our pre-written email to your legislatures concerning this issue now. You can modify it to put it in your own words but please be polite so that your voice is not ignored.

Despite our overwhelming joy for the change in leadership soon to come, courtesy of President-elect Donald Trump, a budget approval for additional refugees would be supremely difficult to undo.
Consequently, it is imperative we remain vigilant to prevent permanent repercussions to our already weakened national security complex.
The American people spoke loud and clear on election night in November, demanding an end to this increasingly dangerous refugee initiative.
If our congressional leaders should approve a budget that allows for more un-vetted refugees, courtesy of you the tax payer, it would be a betrayal of all that was spoken with the electoral triumph of Donald Trump.
Let us take appropriate and immediate action, so there is no doubt in their minds, how adamant we are about this issue.

Thank you for your steadfast patriotism and activism.
We hope you are enjoying this holiday season with those you love, and strive to protect.

Tucker Carson vs. Muslim Professor on Islamophobia
Dear Friend --
Did Islamophobia cause the terror attack at Ohio State?
If that question seems as ridiculous to you, as it does to us, we have a video you need to see!
Fox News host Tucker Carlson, recently debated a Muslim Professor over the motivation for the recent Ohio State terrorist attack.
This conversation outlines perfectly, the discussion taking place in our increasingly divided America.
In one corner, we have those willing to speak the truth about the threat of radical Islam and in the other, we have those who not only deny the reality of the threat, but attempt to shame, and silence those who speak the truth.
To individuals like the Muslim Professor in this video, the reaction to an Islamic terrorist attack is not, “How can we do our best to prevent these horrific incidents from re-occurring?”
Rather, it is “What did we as Americans do to cause this hatred towards us?”

WATCH  Tucker Carlson vs. Muslim professor over "Islamophobia"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7HekRYdJBo

If these appeasers had it their way, our only defense to Islamic terrorism would be silence and submission.
More to it, that is exactly what our radical Islamic adversaries would prefer, for us to keep our lips sealed, and hands tied behind our backs.
We cannot allow ourselves to fall into this fatal trap of tolerance. Instead, we must continue to speak the truth, regardless of how uncomfortable it makes the politically correct appeasers.

9/11 Truther for DNC Chair?


Dear Friend --
keith_ellison.pngWe feel compelled to share with you, an alarming story that the mainstream media won’t, regarding a prominent candidate for DNC Chairman, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN).
If elected to this powerful position, Rep. Ellison would be the first Muslim ever to serve as DNC Chairman.
Unfortunately, this would not be the only “glass ceiling” the Congressman’s appointment would shatter.
Rep. Ellison would also be the first 9/11 truther to be given the reigns to the DNC. In other words, he implied that 9/11 was an inside job, committed by the United States Government, most notably President George W. Bush.
That’s right, a 2007 video has surfaced in which Rep. Ellison back in 2007, compares the events of 9/11 to the Reichstag fire that helped bring Adolf Hitler to power in Nazi Germany. This stunt he referenced was a ruse, designed to coalesce the will of the people around Hitler.
As the Washington Free Beacon notes, Ellison proclaimed:
“Remember 9/11. Right? You had never had all this discrimination against religious minorities but for 9/11,” Ellison said. “You had it, but you didn’t have it to the degree that we have it now. 9/11 is this juggernaut event in American history, and it allows—it’s almost like, you know, the Reichstag fire kind of reminds me of that. Does anybody know what I’m talking about?”
“But who benefited from 9/11?” an audience member asked.
“Well, I mean, you know, you and I both know,” Ellison said.
“Yeah, Bush,” the audience member replied, a clear reference to then-President George W. Bush.
“But the thing is that, you know, after the Reichstag was burned, they blamed the Communists for it, and it put the leader of that country in a position where he could basically have authority to do whatever he wanted,” Ellison said.
This is a statement by a United States Congressmen, and frontrunner for DNC Chairman? All aboard the lunatic train if Ellison should be appointed.
Keith-Ellison-Muslim-RU.jpgAlso, notice how Rep. Ellison’s big takeaway from 9/11 was that it led to discrimination against Muslims. In other words, Ellison is implying that George Bush was secretly behind the events of 9/11, to give himself more power, and so that ordinary Americans would start discriminating against Muslims. Someone check the air quality in Ellison’s office…quickly!
But more striking than this insane theory propagated by a potential DNC Chairman, is Ellison’s ties to radical Islamic terror networks.
Ellison is an enthusiastic supporter of CAIR, a Muslim Brotherhood front group, classified by the United Arab Emirates as a terrorist organization.
Think about that, even a country like the U.A.E that has Sharia law thinks CAIR is dangerously radical!
More to it, Ellison was a spokesman for the Nation of Islam well into his 30’s, a notoriously hateful and anti-Semitic organization.
Ellison also knowingly accepted $50,000 in campaign contributions from Islamic radicals, who openly supported Islamic terrorism and were leaders of front groups for Hamas and other Islamic terror networks.
It wouldn’t just be insane to elect Ellison as DNC Chairman, it would be dangerous.

 Federal Court Rules NO VOTER ID Required To Vote In November! 
ByProud ConservativePosted on August 4, 2016

Federal Judges have just handed down a ruling that will almost certainly hand Hillary Clinton the election in the state of North Carolina, as major swing state heading into November. The court just struck down the voter ID law, so you can bet there is going to be voter fraud in massive proportions coming out of North Carolina.

Why did they strike down the law, you might ask? Becuase the court has determined it’s discriminatory to ask someone to prove they are a citizen before they cast their vote.

This pint sized powerhouse has risen from a difficult childhood to become a popular stand-up comedian, and is now a world famous movie ...
HERE IS WHAT WAS JUST REPORTED..
From Washington Post:

A federal appeals court on Friday struck down North Carolina’s requirement that voters show identification before casting ballots and reinstated an additional week of early voting.

The decision by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit was an overwhelming victory for civil rights groups and the Justice Department that argued the voting law was designed to dampen the growing political clout of African American voters, who participated in record numbers in elections in 2008 and 2012.

“We can only conclude that the North Carolina General Assembly enacted the challenged provisions of the law with discriminatory intent,” Judge Diana Gribbon Motz wrote for the panel.

This isn’t the first time the term “intent” has been used incorrectly lately. Hillary Clinton was let off becuase FBI Director James Comey didn’t see “intent” in her putting our national security at risk.

This time around, the federal court says there was “discriminatory intent” without having even the slightest amount on evidence that points in that direction.

Dear Elaine,
Former Representative Pete Hoekstra’s commentary below is spot-on about the seriousness of the Obama Administration's spying on conversations between the Israeli Prime Minister and Members of the U.S. Congress — just as our federal legislators were debating the Iran nuclear agreement.  
Americans should be outraged.  When the president should be concerned with protecting the citizens of this country by monitoring the jihadists within our midst, he and his Administration instead, are spying on U.S. legislators who disagree with his policies, and on the leader of our only democratic ally in the Middle East.
If you wish to register your concerns about this matter to your U.S. Representative or Senator, the U.S. Capitol Switchboard phone number is:  (202) 224-3121. 
Thank you for all that you do for this great nation.  Keep your voice active.  It makes a difference.
Sincerely,
EXCLUSIVE – Pete Hoesktra: NSA Spying on Congress Requires Suspending State of the Union Invite
Pete Hoekstra - Breitbart
Elected officials and leaders of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) must maintain the integrity of America’s vast intelligence enterprise as a lawful, neutral, independent and fair arbiter of facts. Recent news that the Obama White House obtained intelligence containing private conversations of members of Congress and American Jewish organizations from the National Security Agency (NSA) suggests the integrity of our intelligence agencies have been undermined.
The heads of the 17 organizations in the IC oversee a massive foreign data collection network that produces sensitive information on adversaries and allies.
It is an awesome capability for good, but it poses a threat to free society if exploited for political purposes.
The prospect of the White House – or any political element – using one of these agencies to mine information on members of Congress and U.S. citizens is frightening and criminal. So it is of grave concern to learn that the administration allegedly permitted the National Security Agency (NSA) to monitor American communications between the Israeli prime minister and U.S. Congressmen and members of Jewish organizations during the sensitive domestic political debate on the Iran nuclear agreement.
Lawmakers must respond quickly. This is about the NSA potentially violating constitutionally protected civil liberties.

Important Awareness Alert

#OpenEyesSaveLives



This is the third alert of our #OpenEyesSaveLives campaign. This issue is somewhat longer than our earlier two alerts, but is jam-packed with very important information that you won’t want to miss! We hope that it, and further information we’ll provide, will be helpful to you through the New Year and beyond.



In previous emails, we provided specific helpful tips and reminders on what to look for when individuals become radicalized. We focused on behavioral and surveillance traits, which signal how and when a person may commit a terrorist act after becoming radicalized. In this issue, we will look into additional signs of radicalization, the importance of staying alert, and tips on protecting your workplace.



That is why ACT for America, the nation’s largest national security-focused grassroots advocacy organization, has unveiled our #OpenEyesSaveLives campaign.



We’re all aware at this point of the horrific events that have transpired both here in the U.S. and abroad due to Islamic terrorism. Since 9/11, there have been more than 27,000 deadly terror attacks carried out around the world at the hands of Islamic terrorists.



We have to not only be aware of these heinous attacks, but we must learn from them and the actions of those who carried them out. We must keep our eyes open and know what to look for. Only then, will be able to truly save more American lives.



Be aware of the following signs of radicalization:



A person with a sudden ostentatious insistence on religious ritual, especially in a secular context (demands for prayer rooms where no other religion has them)

A withdrawal from social interaction with women and disapproval of feminine dress

Someone may adopt traditional Arab dress or abruptly abandon it (so as not to attract attention)

An individual may forbid or avoid music, collect jihadi material, withdraw from contact with non-Muslims or Muslims who are not extremist

A person may be single-issue conversation, vocal hatred of the West and Israel

Attempted travel to troubled regions or misleading vagueness as to where they’ve been

Someone who suddenly becomes withdrawn, expresses increasingly angry and disillusioned views about America, our policies or society

A person who suddenly starts attending Mosques that are known to preach radical and jihadist messages

Workplace Tips:



Monitor and control who is entering your workplace: current employees, former employees, commercial delivery, and service personnel.

Check for identification and ask individuals to identify the purpose of their visit to your workplace.

Report broken doors, windows, and locks to your organization’s or building’s security personnel as soon as possible.

Back up or copy sensitive and critical information and databases.

Store, lock, and inventory your organization’s keys, access cards, uniforms, badges, and vehicles.

Monitor and report suspicious activity in or near your facility’s entry/exit points, loading docks, parking areas, garages, and immediate vicinity.

Report suspicious packages to your local police. DO NOT OPEN or TOUCH!

Call your local police department to report a suspicious person, vehicle, or activity in or near your workplace

If you see or notice any of these or additional suspicious activities, please contact the local authorities immediately. Remember, you can do so anonymously.



If you do see suspicious behavior, do not confront the individuals involved.



Take note of the details and remember “Salute”:



S – Size (Jot down the number of people, gender, ages, and physical descriptions)



A – Activity (Describe exactly what they are doing)



L – Location (Provide exact location)



U – Uniform (Describe what they are wearing, including shoes)



T – Time (Provide date, time, and duration of activity)



E – Equipment (Describe vehicle, make, color etc., license plate, camera, guns, etc)



Suspicious activity is often recalled after an event. We must train ourselves to be on the lookout for things that are out of the ordinary and arouse suspicions.



Staying alert is NOT about becoming paranoid. Staying alert is being aware of one’s surroundings. Be alert to indications of possible trouble.



You CAN only identify a terrorist threat by observing or hearing about suspicious activity that may lead to a criminal act.



Identifying suspicious activity is not a difficult science. Rely on your judgment. Your suspicion of a threat could be confirmed with only one incident or it could take a series of incidents. Your suspicions will need to be based on:



Experience

Judgment

Common sense

Be the eyes and ears within your community to help stay alert and do your part in protecting American lives. One person truly can make a difference, but you have to let your voice be heard. We need more citizen patriots like you to help us keep America safe.



The time is NOW to throw political correctness in the garbage. We have to stop kicking the can down the road and start dealing with the terror that is living amongst us. Be America’s eyes and ears. We need you. America needs you.
