Update: UNBELIEVABLE! Obama Administration Puts Israel On List Of Countries That Support Terrorism
Update July 7th, 2011: U.S. admits it was a mistake to include Israel on terror watch list, says it was done ‘erroneously’ – “WASHINGTON (JTA) — Israel was included erroneously on a U.S. Department of Homeland Security terrorist watch list, a U.S. official said. John Morton, the director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement division of the department, said Israel’s recent appearance on a list compiled by the department’s office of the inspector general was a mistake. ‘The addition of Israel in the OIG’s list of ICE’s ‘Third-Agency Checks’ (TAC) was based on inaccurate information provided to the OIG during the course of its audit,’ Morton said in a statement sent by e-mail to JTA.” Read more.
Erroneously. Right. In other words, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security decided to change its tune only after the public outcry for logic and reason, a dearth thereof which often exists within the bowels of the Obama administration. A scrutinized terror watch list such as this with such blatantly ‘inaccurate’ information does not get released ‘erroneously’. It’s not like it was one individual with a confusing or common Middle Eastern name. This was the State of Israel, America’s strongest ally in the Middle East, if not the world. I’d love to know who provided the so-called ‘inaccurate information’ and what their affiliations are …
June 30, 2011: Don’t even get me started …
“Only in the twisted world of the Obama Administration, where allies are trashed, and enemies are embraced, could the tiny nation of Israel, on the front lines of the war on terror for decades, be on a list of 36 nations which ‘have shown a tendency to promote, produce, or protect terrorist organizations or their members.’
This is no joke and Alan Funt is dead so you can’t be on Candid Camera. As reported by CNS News:
The Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General published the list of ‘specially designated countries’ as an appendix to an unclassified May 11 report–‘Supervision of Aliens Commensurate With Risk’–that was publicly posted on the Internet. (The appendix is on page 18 of the document.)
As a matter of policy, according to the inspector general’s report, citizens of Israel and other ‘specially designated countries’ are subjected to a special security screening called a ‘Third Agency Check’ (TAC) when they are actually detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the division of the Department of Homeland Security responsible for enforcing the immigration laws.
The five countries on the list that do not have majority Muslim populations–Kazakhstan (47 percent Muslim), Eritrea (36.5 percent Muslim), Israel (16.9 percent Muslim), the Philippines (5 percent Muslim) and Thailand (4.6 percent)–have had internal problems with radical Muslim terrorists, as reported by the State Department.
Isn’t that kind of blaming the victim?” Read more.
US: Feds Unseal Indictment Against ex-Dearborn Resident in Alleged Terror Plot to Bomb Israel
Former Dearborn, MI man linked to Hezbollah? Dearborn. Dearborn. For some reason, that city rings a bell. What’s eating Dearborn, MI? And this former Dearborn man also has direct ties to Canada, which has its own large share of Islamic terror cells …
BY DAVID ASHENFELTER – “Federal prosecutors in Detroit have unsealed a two-year-old criminal indictment against a former Dearborn man who, they say, tried to use a phony U.S. passport to sneak into Israel in 2000 to carry out a bombing for Hizballah.
The indictment, handed down in August 2009, said Faouzi Mohamad Ayoub, 44, who also goes by the name Fawzi Ayoub, used a passport in the name of Frank Mariano Boschi to try to get into Israel. The U.S. State Department has designated Hizballah as a Lebanese terrorist group.
The indictment was unsealed Friday, two days after the FBI added the man’s name and photo to its most wanted terrorist list. There are 31 others on the list.
It’s unclear why Ayoub was added to the list so long after the 2000 incident, whether he was arrested in the episode and when and how long he lived in Dearborn…
The government said he was born in Lebanon, immigrated to Canada and was recruited by Hizballah’s Canadian branch.” Read more.
Flashback: Terror cells suspected in ‘every major city’ in Canada – “If there was one terrorist plying his trade in Edmonton, there are likely more where he came from, said a local criminologist. ‘Terrorist cells typically have four to seven people in them,’ said Bill Pitt, a former Mountie who now teaches at Grant MacEwan University. Pitt said CSIS suspects every major city in Canada likely has a couple of cells working for a variety of terrorist causes around the world.” Read more.
Thousands of Dead Fish Are Washing Up on the Shores of Lake Michigan
“MILWAUKEE — Thousands of dead fish are washing up on the shores of Lake Michigan.
‘It brings back the horror stories we used to have in Milwaukee with the enormous populations of alewives would wash up and destroy our beaches,’ said Dan Steininger, of Milwaukee.
Experts said small, shiny fishes, called alewives, have been dying off and showing up on beaches around Lake Michigan in recent weeks.
WISN 12 News found them at Bradford Beach in Milwaukee and at Doctor’s Park in Fox Point.” Read more.

Iceland: Magma Appears to be Moving Beneath Hekla Volcano, Scientists Fear Eruption Soon
“Scientists are monitoring unusual underground activity that could signal an eruption at the Hekla volcano in southern Iceland.
University of Iceland geophysicist Pall Einarsson said Wednesday that magma appears to be moving deep beneath the volcano.
He says that does not necessarily mean an eruption is imminent.
But scientists expect Hekla, one of Iceland’s most active volcanoes, to erupt soon.
In the past few decades, Hekla has erupted about every 10 years, most recently in February 2000.
Iceland, in the remote North Atlantic, is a volcanic hotspot.” Read more.

European Union Follows Obama into the Muslim Brotherhood Abyss
Catherine Ashton, EU foreign policy chief
By Robert Spencer – “Following quickly after the revelation that the Obama administration had resolved to establish contact with the Muslim Brotherhood, the European Union has announced that it, too, is interested in talking with the group. Michael Mann, a spokesperson for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, explained: ‘We are always open to dialogue with anyone who is interested in democracy.’ Ashton thus becomes the latest in a long line of Western officials who have confused democracy with the practice of voting itself, and ignored the manifest fact that the Muslim Brotherhood is dedicated to ideals that all free societies should oppose.
Among those officials also are a great many at the highest levels in Washington, where wishful thinking about the Brotherhood (and other matters Islamic) not only prevails, but is the guiding force in formulating Middle East policy. After all, it was the spectacularly clueless intelligence chief James Clapper who labeled the group ‘largely secular,’ demonstrating abject ignorance not only of the meaning of the word ‘Muslim’ in the group’s name, but of its own stated goals and agenda, which have been consistent since it was founded.
Contrary to claims that it is a moderate organization, the Muslim Brotherhood is actually the prototypical Islamic supremacist, pro-Sharia group of the modern age. It was founded in Egypt in 1928 by Hasan al-Banna, who decried the abolition of the Caliphate in 1924 for separating ‘the state from religion in a country [Turkey] which was until recently the site of the Commander of the Faithful.’ Al-Banna dedicated the Brotherhood to restoring the caliphate and imposing Islamic law around the world. His message began and ended with Islam:
We summon you to Islam, the teachings of Islam, the laws of Islam and the guidance of Islam, and if this smacks of ‘politics’ in your eyes, then it is our policy. And if the one summoning you to these principles is a ‘politician,’ then we are the most respectable of men, God be praised, in politics . . . Islam does have a policy embracing the happiness of this world. . . . We believe that Islam is an all-embracing concept which regulates every aspect of life, adjudicating on every one of its concerns and prescribing for it a solid and rigorous order.” Read more.
Muslim Brotherhood Planning to Implement Sharia Law in Phases – “In a June 11, 2011 article on the website of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, veteran movement member Sheikh Ahmad Gad argued that the implementation of shari’a in Egypt must be achieved gradually, by preparing the peoples’ hearts and minds for it and introducing it in stages. He proposed learning from the methods of the early Muslim Brotherhood, which worked in a step-by-step fashion, and called on Al-Azhar to focus on promoting the implementation of shari’a.” Read more.
Arizona: Huge Dust Storm Envelops Phoenix
By Matt Haldane – “A large dust storm rolling through the Phoenix area obscured visibility and created dangerous driving conditions Tuesday evening.
The storm traveled across much of the Valley at 30 miles per hour, according to the National Weather Service. It originated near Tucson and reached metro Phoenix about 7:30 p.m.
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport had to shut down about an hour, causing some flight delays.
The storm also caused power outages in some areas. In Tempe, officers were directing traffic at intersections in blackout areas, according to police Lt. Scott Smith.
The storm brought down some in live wires in Tempe, and one started a fire near Rural and Southern, Smith said.” Read more.

Boat People – Some Questions for the ‘Activists’ Aboard the Gaza Flotilla
Very good questions, and a very good read …
By Christopher Hitchens – “The tale of the Gaza ‘flotilla‘ seems set to become a regular summer feature, bobbing along happily on the inside pages with an occasional update. A nice sidebar for reporters covering the Greek debt crisis: a built-in mild tension of ‘will they, won’t they?’; a cast of not very colorful characters but one we almost begin to feel we know personally. Such cheery and breezy slogans—’the audacity of hope‘ and ‘free Gaza’—and such an easy storyline that it practically writes itself. Since Israel adopts a posture that almost guarantees a reaction of some sort in the not-too-distant future, and since there was such a frisson of violence the last time the little fleet set sail, there’s no reason for it not to become a regular seasonal favorite.
However, given the luxury of time, might it not be possible to ask the ‘activists’ onboard just a few questions? (Activist is a good neutral word, isn’t it, with largely positive connotations? Even flotilla, with its reassuring diminuendo, has a ‘small is beautiful’ sound to it.) Most of the speculation so far has been to do with methods and intentions, allowing for many avowals about peaceful tactics and so forth, but this is soft-centered coverage. I would like to know a little more about the political ambitions and implications of the enterprise.
It seems safe and fair to say that the flotilla and its leadership work in reasonably close harmony with Hamas, which constitutes the Palestinian wing of the Muslim Brotherhood. The political leadership of this organization is headquartered mainly in Gaza itself. But its military coordination is run out of Damascus, where the regime of Bashar Assad is currently at war with increasingly large sections of the long-oppressed Syrian population. Refugee camps, some with urgent humanitarian requirements, are making their appearance on the border between Syria and Turkey (the government of the latter being somewhat sympathetic to the purposes of the flotilla). In these circumstances, isn’t it legitimate to strike up a conversation with the ‘activists’ and ask them where they come out on the uprising against hereditary Baathism in Syria?” Read more.
Iran Attempting to Exert More Influence in the Middle East, Infiltrates the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt
By Moran Azulay – “Military Intelligence chief Major-General Aviv Kochavi said Tuesday Iranian influence was growing in Middle Eastern countries experiencing unrest or upheaval – such as Egypt and Syria.
‘Assad understands today that his solution cannot only come from military responses, and that is why he is turning to reform,’ Kochavi told the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, referring to the protest-plagued president of Syria.
In Egypt, meanwhile, Tehran is trying to influence the outcomes of elections by tightening relations with the Muslim Brotherhood, the MI chief added…
The MI chief noted that Iran also played a direct role in events on Israel’s border. ‘Iran acted directly in Lebanon in organizing ‘Nakba Day’ and ‘Naksa Day’. It is working to make sure these acts of protest will continue.'” Read more.
UK: Islamic Extremists Want to Establish Three Independent States in Britain Governed by Sharia Law
This needs to be viewed as a violation of England’s Treason Act 1351. These enemies of the state and enemies of the West need to be arrested, prosecuted, and deported at once. ‘Is your heart longing for an Islamic state governed by Sharia Law? Then Saudi Arabia is your home.’ It is only a matter of time before similar calls of subversion become a problem on this side of the pond. But is anyone listening?
“Islamic extremists have called on British Muslims to establish three independent states within the UK.
The notorious Muslims Against the Crusades (MAC) group have named Yorkshire towns Bradford and Dewsbury and Tower Hamlets in East London as testbeds for blanket sharia rule.
The medieval ’emirates’ would operate entirely outside British law, according to a document on the MAC website.
The MAC group, led by Abu Assadullah, was set up last year and has become notorious because of its violent protests, most provocatively burning poppies during the Remembrance Day silence.
Under the heading ‘Muslims should set up Islamic emirates in the UK’, MAC says: ‘We suggest it is time that areas with large Muslim populations declare an emirate delineating that Muslims trying to live within this area are trying to live by the sharia as much as possible with their own courts and community watch and schools and even self sufficient trade.'” Read more.
‘London Taliban’ – ‘Wear a headscarf or we will kill you’ – “Women who do not wear headscarves are being threatened with violence and even death by Islamic extremists intent on imposing sharia law on parts of Britain, it was claimed today. Other targets of the ‘Talibanesque thugs’, being investigated by police in the Tower Hamlets area of London, include homosexuals.” Read more.
Muslims Again Demand Sharia For Britain – “Muslim protesters, some of them women clad in black burqas, marched in London last week to demand Sharia law for the United Kingdom… The protesters carried signs with disturbing anti-American and anti-European messages. ‘Islam the solution for mankind,’ one said, while another proclaimed that ‘democracy will bring oppression.’ Another called the United States, Britain, and France a ‘trinity of evil,’ while fourth warned that ‘Sharia will dominate the world.’” Read more.
Iran: Arab Uprisings Testify to the ‘Definite Fulfillment of God’s Qur’anic Promises’
Here is Iran once again proving a point I made in the concluding remarks of the article Revelation 13: A Commentary: “Islamic ‘prophecy’ is false. It is nothing more than Islamists taking true Biblical prophecy and then turning it on its head so that it is pro-Islam, and anti-Judeo/Christian… But we must not dismiss the river that is raging in the undercurrents of Islamic eschatology. Its banks are about to burst and what we must take into consideration is not the fact that Islamic ‘prophecy’ is false and void of Divine inspiration, but rather the fact that they BELIEVE that it is true and that their destiny is Divinely appointed. Because of this belief they will in turn interpret events on the world stage in accordance to this way of thinking, as fulfillment and proof that the ‘prophecies’ of Islam are true.”
“Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the recent uprisings in the region testify to the certainty of God’s promises in the Holy Qur’an.
‘The uprisings of the nations in the region are clear signs of the definite fulfillment of God’s Qur’anic promises,’ the Leader told a group of participants in the 28th International Holy Qur’an Competition in the Iranian capital of Tehran on Tuesday.
The Leader added that the US, Israel, and their allies would not even think of a revolution in Egypt, but the Egyptian nation became victorious with the help of God, IRNA reported.
By helping the Egyptian nation, God proved once again that if the Almighty helps somebody, no power can defeat them, Ayatollah Khamenei said.
The Leader also said Qur’an is ‘the most important factor of unity, dignity and authority of Muslim nations.'” Read more.
