on the Muslim Brotherhood in the Obama Administration

Update: Boom! Evidence U.S. Bribed Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood?

Huma Abedin is Anthony Weiner’s wife. She was also Hillary’s Chief of Staff when Hillary was Secretary of State. This is from a story nearly one year ago, when four Congressmen and one Congresswoman called into question the service of at least five people with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood in the Obama Administration. In all fairness, Brotherhood influence did not begin with Obama, but he has certainly embraced it, in both words and actions.

From the link below, which also has an embedded doc which can be downloaded here. Some excerpts:

In recent days, a torrent of criticism has been directed at Representatives Michele Bachmann, Trent Franks, Louie Gohmert, Tom Rooney and Lynn Westmoreland. These legislators had the te- merity to ask five federal inspectors general last June whether individuals with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood (or Ikhwan in Arabic) are using their access to the Obama administration to influence its policies towards the Brotherhood and the Islamist agenda, both in this country and elsewhere. The members of Congress cited a recent study by the Center for Security Policy that showed, for example, that Hillary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, Huma Abedin, “has three family members– her late father, her mother and her brother connected to Muslim Brotherhood operatives and/or organizations,” and asked for an investigation into whether such associations are affecting U.S. government policies.

The Muslim Brotherhood in the Obama Administration

The rise of these Muslim Brotherhood sympathizers in elite American policy circles tells the story of the success of the Brotherhood in its stealth jihad against this country. This stealth jihad proceeds through the slow motion infiltration of social, cultural and political institutions rather than the ramming of planes into skyscrapers, but with the same ultimate objective: destroying American society.

The White House is facing loads of scandals these days, the IRS has been targeting citizens who oppose Obama for slow-lane tax exempt approvals for years, Benghazi news is still breaking,

and  the DOJ has been accessing phone records of reporters from the AP, Fox, and others…

Beck came up with this reason why Stevens was in Benghazi last October. Clinton was supplying al-Queda with arms, and Stevens was trying to get them back to send to Syria.

Stevens’ mission in Benghazi, they will say, was to buy back Stinger missiles from al-Qaeda groups issued to them by the State Department, not by the CIA. Such a mission would usually be a CIA effort, but the intelligence agency had opposed the idea because of the high risk involved in arming “insurgents” with powerful weapons that endanger civilian aircraft.

Hillary Clinton still wanted to proceed because, in part, as one of the diplomats said, she wanted “to overthrow Gaddafi on the cheap.”

This left Stevens in the position of having to clean up the scandalous enterprise when it became clear that the “insurgents” actually were al-Qaeda – indeed, in the view of one of the diplomats, the same group that attacked the consulate and ended up killing Stevens.

“…seriously considering measures backed by key law enforcement leaders that would require universal background checks for firearm buyers, track the movement and sale of weapons through a national database, strengthen mental health checks, and stiffen penalties for carrying guns near schools or giving them to minors”

On Gun Control and Sandy Hook

“Never let a crisis go to waste”

~ Rahm Emanuel ~

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

Question One in Our National Conversation: Why Did Gun Control Fail the Families of Newtown?

Connecticut has strong gun laws that help combat the illegal gun market, prevent the sale of most guns without background checks and reduce risks to children, according to the Brady Campaign. In the organization’s 2009 state scorecards released for all 50 states, Connecticut … has the nation’s fourth strongest gun laws.

“Connecticut has done more than most states to combat illegal guns and has worked to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people. In fact, Connecticut has a one-of-a-kind law that allows a judge to remove guns from people who have been determined to be a threat to themselves or others,” said Ron Pinciaro, President of CT Against Gun Violence

Feinstein rumored to be pushing semi-auto ban if Obama reelected

After the Sandy Hook massacre, liberals everywhere seem to be jumping back on the Assault Weapons Ban bandwagon again. This is an extreme reaction, and infringes upon all of our Constitutional rights. We aren’t even absolutely sure if a Bushmaster .223 AR15 was even used, initial reports stated that it was found in the trunk of the shooter’s mother’s car. 

By Friday afternoon, Democrats were calling to reinstate the AWB, and most would think that Feinstein is getting ready to introduce legislation because of this tragic incident. They would be wrong, Feinstein was already preparing to reintroduce the AWB, the above piece was published Nov 6, 2012 (election day)

Media myths on ‘assault weapons’ and ‘semiautomatic firearms’

This link addresses some facts about what is, and what is not an assault weapon. Simply put, an assault weapon is military grade capable of multiple bursts at minimum, and fully automatic machine-gun fire for most. A civilian AR15 is not capable of being used in this manner, even if someone tried to modify one, it may not work as expected. 

There is already an assault weapons ban in place, and it’s been there since 1934 after Al Capone’s hey-days and the rampant use of Thompson (Tommy machine guns) full automatics by criminal gangs.

Chinese Op-Ed

This Tiny TX Town Allows Teachers to Carry Concealed Guns: ‘We Can Protect Our Children’

“… children and their parents don’t give much thought to safety at the community’s lone school — mostly because some of the teachers are carrying concealed weapons. In the remote area, the nearest sheriff’s office is 30 minutes away, and people tend to know — and trust — one another. So the school board voted to let teachers bring guns to school.

“We don’t have money for a security guard, but this is a better solution,” Superintendent David Thweatt said. “A shooter could take out a guard or officer with a visible, holstered weapon, but our teachers have master’s degrees, are older and have had extensive training. And their guns are hidden. We can protect our children.”
