The Justice Department’s war on the truth

The U.S. Department of Justice is becoming a wing of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Obama administration is bowing to Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups and stopping the use of all training materials for law enforcement and national security officials that refer to jihad and any and all references to Islam. Yet Anwar al-Awlaki was a devout imam who preached the Quran. So let me understand this: Obama executed Awlaki for preaching jihad. That was all he did. Awlaki did not kill anyone. And yet Obama orders law enforcement to drop all mention of jihad and the Islamic motivation of terrorists. What’s the difference?
Why did he kill Awlaki?
The Justice Department held a seminar last week on “Confronting Discrimination in the Post 9-11 Era.” Among the treacherous conspirators indoctrinating believers and non-believers was the notorious Jew-hating pollster James Zogby and the ghastly leader of the Muslim Brotherhood-tied Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), Mohammed Magid.
James Lafferty, a board member of my organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), was there and reported: “Speaker after speaker recited anecdote after anecdote which demonstrated that, except for the Justice Department, law enforcement is conspiring with ‘bigoted’ Americans to suspend the First Amendment protections of religious expression and free speech.”
The DOJ promised to fight that “bigotry” by changing training materials designed to help law enforcement officials understand the jihad threat. Dwight Holton, the U.S. attorney in Oregon, said: “I want to be perfectly clear about this: Training materials that portray Islam as a religion of violence or with a tendency toward violence are wrong, they are offensive, and they are contrary to everything that this president, this attorney general and Department of Justice stands for. They will not be tolerated.”
The only ones really responsible for the idea that Islam is “a religion of violence or with a tendency toward violence” are the Muslims who act violently and justify their violence by quoting the Quran. That isn’t “bigotry.” It’s the truth.
This comes fresh on the heels of my recent WND column, “Obama’s Department of Shariah,” describing how the DOJ is actively pursing cases to gain special privileges for Muslims. In case after case, the Department of Justice’s pursuit of the Shariah is surpassed only by that of the Supreme Council of Al-Azhar, the most prestigious institution in Sunni Islam.
How can Obama enforce the blasphemy laws of the Shariah (do not criticize, offend or speak truthfully about Islam) and order the killing of Imam Awlaki? Think about that.
Banning study of the religious motivation of Muslim terrorists has been a cornerstone of this national-security policy throughout the Obama administration, but Obama orders the executions of those who are proselytizing for and advancing what they present as pure Islam, authentic Islam.
What is this policy? Perhaps Obama prefers the stealth jihad, and the violent jihad only calls attention to the true nature of Islamic law. Incoherent is a best-case scenario explanation on this, but I do not believe that. In my book “The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War On America,” I give the details of his pro-Islam leanings from the beginning of his career. And now as president, on foreign policy, he has aided and abetted the overthrow of secular governments. Libya, like Tunisia and Egypt, is heading toward becoming an Islamic state. His anti-Israel policies have led to the increased isolation of the tiny Jewish state, making it a ripe target for Islamic imperialists and devout Muslims.
And his Department of Justice is on the offense against America. While doing research for my book “Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance,” I discovered some startling information about the full extent of Muslim Brotherhood infiltration in the Department of Justice and its brazen pro-Muslim activities, including the creation of Muslim-majority legislative districts. And when I inquired for documentation related to these activities, the DOJ’s response to me indicated that the agency’s ties with Islamic supremacist groups are far more extensive than anyone has realized. Nelson Hermilla of the DOJ responded, telling me that my request involved 14,100 documents that I could only get by paying $1,400.
It is a bombshell that there would be more than 14,000 documents identified as a result of the FOIA request I made to the Department of Justice. I made a relatively isolated request on a narrow topic the Civil Rights Division really doesn’t even have direct jurisdiction over (“Muslim outreach”), and they come up with over 14,000 documents.
Hermilla complained that “it is not clear in what manner the collection of all five-year’s records might contribute to the general public understanding.” That they would challenge the “public interest” aspect of my request is also astounding. Given the recent coverage of the DOJ’s scuttling of the prosecution of CAIR officials in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas funding case, and its advocacy for the Muslim schoolteacher who demanded a month off to go to Mecca and was given $75,000 in a settlement, their claim is flimsy.
Hermilla is flouting the law by making me wait for eight months now since my first request, making a mockery of Obama’s promise to run a transparent administration and suppressing information that is critical for the American public to know. They still have not turned over any of these documents.
Concurrently, DOJ whistleblower J. Christian Adams has revealed that “all 10 new hires to the Justice Department’s Criminal Section have far-left resumes.” Every hire Holder is making is one that America will have to live with long after Obama is gone. They have put in place the legal apparatus to pursue a treasonous agenda.
The American people should demand that the next president prosecute the Muslim Brotherhood co-conspirators and pledge to purge their operatives in the Department of Justice, Department of State and Department of Defense.

Golfing While the Constitution Burns

Ben Johnson, The White House Watch
When Barack Obama and John Boehner played golf this weekend, they played
on the same team. How appropriate.
Barack Obama has violated the Constitution’s war-making power – reserved by
Article I, Section 8,
to Congress – from the moment he sent American troops into harm’s way without
Congressional approval. He has been violating the War Powers Resolution since at
least the 60th day of that campaign. And he has violated the most
liberal reading of that act – the one Boehner has adopted as his own – since
this weekend. Yet despite the letter
Boehner authored last week, which the media presented as an “ultimatum,”
Obama has neither obtained Congressional authorization nor removed our troops.
Boehner’s
letter weakly supplicated “I sincerely hope the Administration will
faithfully comply with the War Powers Resolution,” but at least it seemed to set
this weekend as a definitive cut-off point.
The “deadline” has come and gone, and Obama has not answered the most burning
questions of the mission’s legality to anyone’s satisfaction. Instead, the
president has thumbed his nose at Congress in general, Boehner in particular,
and the American people at large, and the Speaker-cum-caddy has made no
meaningful response whatsoever.
Obama insists the American role in Libya is too diminutive to constitute
“hostilities,” so his action is perfectly legal. White House spokesman Jay
Carney repeated
his boss’s party line at Monday’s press conference, stating, “the War Powers
Resolution does not need to be involved because the ‘hostilities’ clause of that
resolution is not met.” However, soldiers in Libya are receiving an additional
$25
a month in “imminent danger pay.” American drones still rain missiles down
upon military targets. NATO is alternately
bombing
Muammar Qaddafi’s home and killing the innocent Libyan civilians they are
purportedly protecting. (We had to kill the civilians in order to save them?)
NATO admitted (at
least) one of its bombs went off target on Sunday, killing
nine civilians in Tripoli, while allied bombs allegedly killed
15 civilians in Sorman on Monday.
Not to worry, though; Defense Secretary Robert Gates said over the weekend,
in a confidence-builder worthy of Churchill, “I think this is
going to end OK.” Gates, who once
opposed the Libyan adventure, has pulled
a 180 on the matter.
Even Obama’s short-term fellow Illinois Senator, Dick Durbin, agrees
Libya more than rises to the level of hostilities.
So, too, we have learned, do the best legal minds of Obama’s administration
(not a coveted nor much-contested title, I assure you). In overruling
his own lawyers, Obama rejected the
considered conclusions of Jeh C. Johnson, the Pentagon’s general counsel,
and Caroline Krass, the acting head of the Justice Department’s Office of Legal
Counsel (OLC). The New York Times reported
it is “extraordinarily rare” for any president to overrule the OLC. “Under
normal circumstances, the office’s interpretation of the law is legally binding
on the executive branch.”
But then, nothing in the Obama administration transpires under “normal
circumstances.”
Two former OLC lawyers outlined precisely how unusual the dismissal was….
