“I think we all read the news stories last night, watched our TV stations, watched some stories that have come out. You know, I think that the concerns of those workers needs to be looked at and considered by everybody,” Noem said.
“And I encourage Smithfield to do that as well. But I also know that when you don't hear all the facts of a situation and when the media doesn't cover all the facts of a situation, you're doing a disservice to the public that you need to get the whole story, get both sides of the story.
Do the investigative work that it takes to tell the truth. And I haven't seen that in every single story that's been going on in South Dakota. I think that when a story is only told part way, or you've left out facts to make sure that it was a story that grabbed headlines. That's unfortunate. And it's not helping the situation that we have here in South Dakota. The public deserves the truth. And the truth is all the facts. And I would appreciate it if our media would remember that.”
Pat Powers at Dakota War College reports the blow up continued on Saturday:
On Friday, Ellis filed a story where he went on the attack on Governor Kristi Noem’s administration because he claimed he wasn’t receiving some information he was seeking:
What’s in a model?
Turns out South Dakota health officials are reluctant to share that information.
The people behind the state’s coronavirus response model, which Gov. Kristi Noem unveiled one week ago, have failed to release data used to make their assumptions. Meanwhile, health officials from the state’s three large health Systems – Avera, Sanford and Monument Health – won’t elaborate on how they contributed to the process.
That story kicked off an exchange that got a little testy when the Governor’s communications person Maggie Siedel sent a note back to Ellis, pushing back a bit because it’s not as if the Governor and Department of Health are ignoring questions in their near daily pressers.
Yesterday I posted on my response to the Mitchell paper for putting out biased misinformation. I have decided to make this blog active again because there certainly needs more truth dug up on this most important issue.
That is the title of a Letter to the Editor of the Micthell Daily Republic today:
I really like Terry Woster, but I question his opinion being placed on the front page of the April 4 issue of this paper and presented as factual with the heading, “Misinformation — more deadly than the virus.”
I agree with Woster it is wrong to send death threats to Dr. Anthony Fauci, but it may prove out to be very deadly to worship Fauci as god. His positions against the general public wearing masks and against using anti-malaria drugs should be challenged.
Fauci led the mantra that chloroquine has not been proven. The French provided a clinical study that proves it does have a huge impact on COVID-19, but more data is needed to determine the exact degree of benefit. Instead the medical focus has been on ventilators, which have been proven to be less than 40 percent effective at most, and have some serious side effects.
What the media doesn’t tell us is that Fauci’s National Institute of Health has partnered with Bill Gates to develop a vaccine with Moderna. Within weeks they produced a vaccine based on a formula that is supposed to represent COVID-19, which was put on the internet by the Chinese. The NIH is currently shooting up healthy people to see what side effects come up, as this experimental drug is truly unproven.
Clearly Fauci involvement with Gates and Moderna presents a conflict of interest that has him downplaying a treatment that has been used for decades, whose side effects are minimal and well known, and studies in China, France, Australia and in other places have shown it to be effective in perhaps preventing the need to put masses of people on a ventilator with dire expectations of survival.
Hospitals, and not doctors, under the control of government, decide when the anti-malaria drug in combination with antibiotics can be used to treat severe cases of COVID-19. Woster may not want to hear that “deep state” actors are controlling our government, but in this case, government paid Fauci is being influenced by globalist Bill Gates, who is a big fish within the Deep State.
The District 19 Legislative Forum in Scotland at the Recreation Bar was well attended. Over thirty individuals participated. Legislators gave responses for all questions asked. The primary focus of most of the meeting was on nursing home funding shortages and the potential new revenue stream from internet sales tax collection. Estimates were given by Dist 21 Representative Fink of 13 to 25 million dollars of new revenue available. A good discussion was held on the shortage of nursing home and hospital staff and high hourly cost of temporary workers for both. Questions were asked about the possibility of another blue ribbon task force to study the issue and results of the last Nursing home task force led by Gail Walker of Parkston were presented. Nursing home costs and long term care insurance were also discussed.
Bon Homme County officials asked for funding solutions for mental health involuntary commitments and prisoner public defender and court costs associated with prisoners at Mike Durfee state prison.
Discussion was held on wind development with costs and benefits. All three legislators said they supported changing the current law that deprives local schools of tax moneys from these projects, oil pump stations and state DOT weigh stations.
Questions were asked about Medicaid expansion in South Dakota. Senator Nelson and Rep Peterson opposed the expansion and Rep Schoenfish supported it. Vaping issues concerning the health of our youth and possible tax of nicotine rich vaping were discussed.
Questions were asked about what each legislator has done and will do to try to prevent Gear up and EB 5 scandals. Each gave a response with Sen. Nelson clearly doing the most to uncover the corruption and collusion involved. Rep Schoenfish made defamatory unpopular remarks which made no sense. He called anyone who questioned him “lying cowards”. His father and Sen Nelson then had a discussion on how much money was miss spent on Gear Up and related Native American education programs. Mr. Schoenfish said 1.3 million. Sen Nelson said 100 million dollars. It was pointed out clearly to all present that Marshall Damgaard and the USD students that did the research on the Gear up program have estimated it was approximately 100 million dollars.
The event concluded with closing remarks by the legislators. Frank Kloucek moderated the event and Linda Kluthe was the timer and parliamentarian.
PIERRE, SD (January 5th, 2019) – Two Republican incumbent legislators officially filed challenges to District 27’s Representative-elect Peri Pourier (D-Rushville, NE), and Senator-Elect Red Dawn Foster’s (D-Denver, CO) Constitutional residency qualifications to be seated in the South Dakota Legislature. South Dakota’s Constitution Article III Section 3 qualification requirements for Legislative office is the person must be a resident of South Dakota for the two years preceding the election. In recent weeks, legislators have been bombarded with mounting evidence showing both Pourier and Foster were in fact not residents of South Dakota, but of Nebraska and Colorado. Red Dawn Foster’s candidate nomination petition cited an apparent city park, with no dwellings on it, as her residence. Official complaints of election fraud have been levied against both candidates at the county and state level, with state and Legislative officials avoiding addressing the growing scandal for months.
Bennett County Commissioner Judd Schomp filed complaints with the county auditor who filed them with the county states attorney. Schomp was told the Attorney General’s office responded that they did not want the complaints. Schomp said he wrote every legislator and received only three responses back “This is election fraud, and it needs to be addressed. Peri and Red Dawn have broken the law. They have deceived the voters of District 27, which is election fraud. The residents of District 27 feel completely cheated and deceived. We have filed our complaints and we have followed the correct chains, but nothing is being done to make this right with the voters.” Fellow Bennett County Commissioner Rod Kirk echoed Schomp’s concerns stating “I believe election laws were broken and an investigation is warranted. Laws are created for all people to follow, not whom ever wishes to or not.”
Haakon County States Attorney Stephanie Trask expressed dismay and disappointment at the lack of response that she and her constituents have received from state and Legislative officials. “As an elected official within District 27, I am embarrassed at the lack of leadership within our Legislature. Our local voters turned to county level leaders when they got no solution or response from state Legislative leadership. The sad reality is the state legislature itself has the sole authority and responsibility to enforce South Dakota’s Constitutional requirements on its members elect. All but a few in our Legislature have chosen to ignore this reasonability.”
Senator Phil Jensen (R-Rapid City) pointed out that in the analogous cases of Dr. Annette Bosworth and Pennington County Commissioner George Ferebee, the state and counties aggressively pursued and prosecuted to the full extent of the law in both cases. “In this case, Legislators are worried about being accused of racism when in fact Margaret Ross and Nicole Little Whiteman (both Native American women) have been disenfranchised. I don’t think South Dakotans want to set precedent in the state and the Constitutional eligibility requirements to run for office based on fear, but based on duties as elected officials that take an oath to uphold the SD Constitution.” Senator Jensen states that he filed the challenge because the rule of law applies to all South Dakotans and not addressing the filed complaints of election fraud was a dereliction of duty.
Representative Julie Frye-Mueller (R-Rapid City), who voted for disciplinary committees against Republican House colleagues Rep. David Johnson (R-Rapid City) in 2018, and against former representative Mathew Wollman (R-Madison) in 2017, stated the evidence showing Peri Pourier was not a resident of South Dakota should not be ignored. “The last thing any of us want to do at the beginning of session is to deal with this type of scandal; however, first of all, it is our Constitutional duty. We have all seen the ugly wide spread effects of election fraud in other states and if we show we will do nothing now to address these reported violations of our law, then the credibility of our elections is already gone. I’ve received numerous phone calls and emails from concerned citizens regarding these reports of election fraud, demanding the Legislature look into this. To my knowledge, neither Pourier nor Foster have denied the numerous allegations, nor have they provided any evidence satisfying the Constitutional residency requirements. These allegations are serious and they need to be looked into.”
All of our 5 city free, Worldview Weekend rallies have now been cancelled. We held our Des Moines, Iowa conference, but other hotels are cancelling on us. The Southern Poverty Law Center put out a list of all the hotels we were going3 to and their address and numbers. The goal was to intimidate the hotels into cancelling us. CAIR and self-identified Antifa groups joined in on social media to flood the hotels with calls and threats. The hotels got cold feet and cancelled our conferences, even though we had contracts.
The Radisson Hotel and Conference Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin cancelled our Saturday night conference, and now our Milwaukee conference center has cancelled us. After years of working with the Country Springs Hotel in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, they just alerted us they are cancelling our contract and pulling our event on Monday night in Milwaukee. They are being flooded with calls by the Marxist, Muslims and Antifa groups. The hotel in Pewaukee told me even their website was hacked. They said they have never seen anything like this and have never cancelled a group. We had to cancel the Onalaska conference for Friday night. The event center there received over 57 hateful phone calls within two hours of opening their office. Hours before that rally the event cetner notified us that we do not have the type of liability insurance they required. We have NEVER been told this about our liability insurance EVER by a venue. We could not satisfy their request with just a few hours before the doors opened. Once we lose some of our biggest cities like Milwaukee and Green Bay, we cannot afford some of the other cities and thus the other cities have been cancelled.
In South Dakota, the protests against these kind of conferences have been promoted by Cory Heidelberger and Taneeza Islam. Their common goal is to destroy America. Here are other similarities:
It might also be possible to speak of radical Islam as Islamomarxism, to coin a term. That is, there appear to be a number of parallels between Marxist thought and radical Islam. Both tend to argue that politics is everything, even though one rests on atheism, and the other on strident monotheism.
English commentator Theodore Dalrymple teases out the similarities in an intriguing article in the May 2007 New English Review.
[And...]
Dalrymple argues that “Qutb’s thought has many parallels with Marxism. Where Marx has Historical Inevitability, Qutb has God‘s Law. Marx, you remember, envisages a time when the state will wither away and history will end. In Marx’s vision, political power will have dissolved, and the exploitation of man by man will have ceased, to be replaced by the mere administration of things. (How anybody of minimal intelligence could have believed such a thing beats me.) In Qutb’s vision, all political power will have dissolved, replaced by man’s spontaneous obedience to God’s law. Just as the administration of things in Marx’s utopia will not confer power on the administrators, presumably because everything will be so plentiful that no one will be tempted to appropriate more than the next man, so in Qutb’s utopia no one will have to interpret the law and gain power from doing so. God’s law will be as evident as things will be abundant in Marx’s classless society.”
Both believed in the New Man: “In both Marx and Qutb, the idea is expressed that, under the new dispensation, man will become more human, less animal. Personally, I have always found this kind of thought an appallingly arrogant slur on all the people who have lived before the thinker of it: does humanity really have to wait for Marx and Qutb before it becomes truly human?”
And both believed that violence was essential in bringing about the New Man: “Marx understood that the classless society could not come about by merely preaching socialism, as if it were merely an ethical demand or theory. Violence would be necessary. Similarly, Qutb denies that the world will become Islamic merely by preaching the word of God. He refers to Mohammed’s Meccan period, when the Prophet did not resort to arms. This, he says, was merely tactical; it would have been impossible in practice to impose his rule by force. But when he went to Medina, he had no hesitation in fighting his enemies, including those who simply did not accept his message.”
Here is another interesting point:
Just as Marxism was a secular religion, or worldview, so too, ironically, is the militant Islam of Qutb: “There is very little that is specifically spiritual in Qutb’s book: it is a political rather than a religious manifesto. And like Marx, he insists that Islam is not so much a body of doctrine or theory or facts, but a method. His notion is uncommonly like the Marxist one of praxis, of a dialectical relationship between theory and practice.”
That point puts to question their use of so-called religion and the First Amendment to destroy the Constitution of the United States , which is exactly how the Muslim Brotherhood is successfully working to destroy America from within. Sadly Cory Heidelberger is promoting the cover person's propaganda as "honest discussion".
Here is a chance tonight at 8PM to listen to the guy that Cory Heidelberger is trying to prevent South Dakotans from seeing in person at Aberdeen Tuesday night,:
Muslims, Marxist and Antifa cannot stop this! Tune in to hear about their agenda they were afraid of people hearing this weekend. Live Sunday night @ 8pm CT. Text wvw to 88202 for a reminder & link to live stream. You can live stream here: livestream.com/wvwtv or facebook.com/worldviewweekend
Now LaFleur wasn’t really asking—people who post that question are just trying to excuse their own prejudices and insularity. But if anyone wants an answer to LaFleur’s rhetorical question, it’s simple: “White Pride” is a slogan used by Klansmen and other racist members of the historically privileged class to perpetuate their oppression of other races. “Racial Pride” is not a two-way street amidst a cultural power differential. “White Pride” really means “Privilege Pride,” and that privilege is wrong. LaFleur’s cry is as wrong as white people dressing in blackface or in stereotypical Indian garb. LaFleur’s cry is as wrong as shouting “Blue Lives Matter!” back at “Black Lives Matter” protestors, since it seeks to reinforce the unjust use of power against a disempowered minority.
And, to his credit, SDGOP spin blogger Pat Powers appears to agree:
It’s nice to see Powers join me in critiquing LaFleur’s brand of racism. Powers only errs in referring to LaFleur as an “outlier.” We know, from SDGOP Senators Tapio and Novstrup to SDGOP leader Lederman to the Republican Party leader who occupies the White House, prejudice is not a bug in the Republican Party; it’s a feature.
Cory doesn't understand that the SDGOP Establishment is using the white-hating racism of the cultural Neo-Marxist to further their economic development agenda. And Cory's whites oppress minorities argument doesn't hold water as he supports Somalia refugees who persecute Christians and "seeks to reinforce the unjust use of power against a disempowered minority":
Over the last few years, the situation for Christians in Somalia has only worsened. Islamic militants have intensified their hunt for Christians, whom al-Shabaab operatives regard as high-value targets. Upon discovery, Christians are often killed on the spot. Al-Shabaab holds to the strict Islamic doctrine of Wahhabism and advocates for Sharia law in every facet of life for Somalis. While al-Shabaab poses a severe threat to Christians in Somalia, believers are also persecuted by their families and the community at large. If a Somali is suspected of conversion, their family members and clan leaders will harass, intimidate or even kill them.
We should consider Christians of Somalia to be refugees, not those who are behind their persecution.
The source of this violent Jihad that is oppressing Christians in Somalia is Islamic supremacy:
Islamic doctrine—which teaches that Muslims are superior to non-Muslims, who are further compared to dogs and cattle—imbues Muslims with this sense of supremacism over the rest of mankind. And a good portion of Islamic history—when Muslims were for centuries on the warpath, subjugating large swathes of the Old Word—further enforced it.
This sense of Islamic supremacism was dramatically humbled after European powers defeated and colonized much of the Muslim world. Bred on the notion that “might makes right,” Muslims, for a time, even began emulating the unapologetic and triumphant West. Turkey, for example, went from being the epitome of Islamic supremacy and jihad against Christian Europe for five centuries to desperately emulating Europe in all ways. By the mid-1900s, Turkey became perhaps the most Westernized/secularized “Muslim” nation.
Today, however, as Western peoples willingly capitulate to Islamic mores—in the name of tolerance, multiculturalism, political correctness, or just plain cowardice—Muslims are becoming more emboldened, making more demands and threats, as they realize they need not militarily defeat the West in order to resuscitate their supremacist birthright. (More appeasement from the bullied always brings about more demands from the bully.)
To understand all this, one need only look to Muslim behavior where it is dominant and not in need of pretense, that is, in the Muslim world. There, non-Muslim minorities are habitually treated as inferiors. But unlike the many Western appeasers who willingly accept a subservient role to Islam, these religious minorities have no choice in the matter.
So according to Cory's own definition, he is supporting the import of hatred into South Dakota of those who want to gain dominance and oppress all who refuse to follow Sharia Law. Sadly, "In the name of tolerance, multiculturalism, political correctness, or just plain cowardice", Cory is using the actions of white supremacists to justify Islamic supremacy. What we need is to find agreement that both are wrong and work to minimize the impact of both of these movements. Instead Pat Powers and Cory Heidelberger are finding agreement on the lies being used by those who want to control the political arena, by creating a false war between Democrats and Republicans. The same forces are controlling the agenda of both party establishments. And it was that very argument that got me banned for Cory's comment section. You see, the truth makes Cory look stupid, so he has to shield his readers from it by any totalitarian means available to him. We certainly don't want South Dakota to become run by those who comprise Dakota Free Press. Pat Powers should reconsider his position whenever Cory Heidelberger finds agreement on it.
Terry LaFleur raises an interesting question whose answer is: white supremacy and cultural Neo-Marxists are both wrong because they are fueled by those who hate those they disagree with. His question does not automatically make him a racist. That is a lie fueled by those who want to use race to divide and conquer America. And that is what makes Cory Heidelberger a white-hating racist. He makes the false equivalency that promoting America is promoting white supremacy.
Biblical Christian know that there is just one race, the human race, who has common heritage...Adam and Eve, which does include Muslims. Sadly, too many Muslims are willing to kill for the sake of a god who has no son. Therein lies the difference between Islamists and Christians, and that difference has nothing to do with race.
Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahiri, in a newly disseminated video, urges the group’s jihadi followers to “unite in confronting” the top enemy of all Muslims across the world, the United States and its “blatant crusader,” President Donald Trump.
He goes on to identify the primary goal of al-Qaeda’s jihad as restoring the “rightly guided Caliphate” and all of the lands once held by Muslims, extending from Jerusalem to Spain, noting that the territory is still “ours.”
Zawahiri’s declaration echoes Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s announcement when he established the now-dismantled worldwide caliphate in June 2014.
The U.S.-led coalition and its allies have diminished the Islamic State (ISIS) “caliphate” by 98 percent, but dangerous pockets remain.
The near single-eyed focus of that coalition in defeating ISIS has allowed al-Qaeda to grow stronger, particular in Syria, which reportedly houses the most active wing of the Osama bin Laden legacy group.
Zawahiri says “the goal of our jihad is the restoration of the rightly guided Caliphate” and all of the territory once controlled by Muslims from Jerusalem to Spain is still “ours.”
Of course, this doesn’t mean al Qaeda thinks Abu Bakr al Baghdadi’s Islamic State (ISIS) is the answer. Al Qaeda rejects Baghdadi’s caliphate project as illegitimate, and the two jihadist organizations have rivaled each other for power since 2014.
Zawahiri encourages extremists to rally up and try to mirror the attacks of 9/11 against the American homeland, saying:
The Mujahidin will defeat America – Allah permitting – for the sake of Allah, and the scholars working and the sincere makers of [worship] and the united Ummah [Muslim community] under the banner of Tawhid [monotheism]. Here is our Muslim Ummah so let us fight America everywhere as they transgress against us everywhere, let us unite in confronting it, and do not divide, and come together and not split up, and unite and not divide.
The March 20 video is the latest in a series of messages released by the al-Qaeda leader, notes the Long War Journal, adding, “Zawahiri begins his talk by claiming that President Trump is a ‘blatant crusader’ who has “revealed the true face of America, and the true psychology of a majority of the American people toward Muslims.”
“The policies of America and its cheating crusader leader – without a doubt – clarified that the effective way in confronting its aggression is via the way of da’wah [proselytization] and jihad,” notes the al-Qaeda leader.
Citing late al-Qaeda leader bin Laden, the new jihadi chief stresses that the Muslim community’s (ummah) “first enemy is America,” which is “the head of the snake.”
Zawahiri went on to note that “religious hostility” is at the root of the animosity between the United States and jihadists across the world.
Many liberals, particularly under the administration of former President Barack Obama, sought to extinguish any religious references to the ongoing U.S. military conflicts against Islamic extremists, refusing to use radical Islamic extremism or any variation of the phrase.
Now, the top al-Qaeda leader himself acknowledges the conflict between jihadists and the United States is of a religious nature.
Kind of strange that the "religious hostility" is down played by those who claim critics of the Jihadis are racist Islamophobes. The religious rights under the First Amendment should not include a religion that is a declared enemy of America. Again, not all Muslims are on part of the Muslim Brotherhood's agenda that seeks to establish a global caliphate. In fact they need our protection as they are considered apostates by the Islamic Jihadis. Clearly the very idea of religious freedoms are at risk, if we allow Muslim Brotherhood fronts like CAIR to use religious rights based on American law to establish Sharia in America. Sharia is the anti-thesis to religious freedom, and is part of Islam's Holy War. Sadly, those who are expressing warnings in this regard are attacked by Cory Heidelberger and those misguided members of the so-called Interfaith movement. Their motives are more political than religious.
According to a young humanitarian identified as Fateemah Habeeb, a 14-year-old girl was defiled by an Imam who is over 50 years old. She explained that the Imam in question had bragged about defiling the girl with courage that nothing was going to happen to him.
Habeeb who is an advocate for young Nigerian girls living in the North stated that she had decided to talk to the girl’s parents and bring justice to the Imam. She revealed that the mother of the victim had been willing to get justice.
However, after the humanitarian called on people to help bring the case to the right people, she was told that the 14-year-old girl would be married off to the man.
Parents of a Texas high school student who was reported missing in late January had abused their daughter after she refused an arranged marriage, leading her to run away from home until she was found in mid-March, police said.
Maarib Al Hishmawi, 16, was reported missing on Jan. 30 after she was last seen leaving Taft High School in Bexar County. She was located in mid-March when she was taken in by an organization that cared for her after she ran away, KSAT reported.
Authorities on Friday said Al Hishmawi’s parents — Abdulah Fahmi Al Hishmawi, 34, and Hamdiyah Saha Al Hishmawi, 33 — had allegedly beaten their daughter with a broomstick and poured hot cooking oil on her when she refused to marry a man in another city. The parents reportedly agreed to the arranged marriage in exchange for $20,000.
I am still banned from making comments at Cory Heidelberger's so-called Dakota Free Press. and have been told that I can make my points at my own web site. So here I go.
One of the reasons why we have such a cult of victimhood in today’s society is because being offended is currency. It buys things for you. But only for some people. If conservatives are offended, it matters not a whit. But if Muslims are offended, everyone jumps to mollify them, in part to stave off the bombs and machetes, and in part because Islamic advocacy groups have so skillfully played the victim card and pushed into the mainstream the assumption that to oppose jihad terror and Sharia oppression constitutes racism and bigotry.
The problem with shutting down speech that some find offensive, however, is that it gives the offended groups total power over the public discourse. And that means the end of a free society and the beginning of an authoritarian regime.
What happened in this case was that Seattle took down an FBI wanted poster because the people on it were Muslims. We are trying to put it back up. The safety of the people should not be secondary to the putative offense being taken by peaceful Muslims. If they’re offended by depictions of jihad terrorists, do they really oppose them in the first place?
“Free Speech Lawsuit: American Freedom Defense Initiative v. King County ‘Brief on the Merits,'” by Pamela Geller, Geller Report, March 19, 2018:
“We now hold that this provision violates the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment. It offends a bedrock First Amendment principle: Speech may not be banned on the ground that it expresses ideas that offend.”
AFDI is suing Seattle King County for refusing to run our ad — an FBI wanted poster featuring the world’s most dangerous terrorists. In accordance with sharia law, Seattle denied the ad saying it was offensive to Muslims.
Here is the back story. It all started in July 2012, when the FBI ran a terrorism awareness campaign featuring bus ads depicting photos of 16 wanted terrorists, all of whom were Muslim. This was a publicity campaign sponsored by the Joint Terrorism Task Force for the State Department’s Rewards for Justice program, or RFJ. But then the leftists and Islamic supremacists complained that the ads were “Islamophobic,” and they came down – and unbelievably, Seattle is refused to allow my group, the AFDI, to put them back up.
We have asked that the ads (below) be put up forthwith, as the county’s refusal to run them is an unconstitutional restriction on our freedom of speech.
Moreover, the RFJ program has been successful: Through it, the State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security has paid more than $125 million to more than 80 people who offered genuine information that led to jihadis being jailed and prevented acts of jihadist terror. This program was instrumental in leading to the arrest of jihadist Ramzi Yousef, who is now in prison for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center jihad bombing. In short, this program has saved lives.
We sued Seattle King County.
Our opening brief and excerpts of record were just filed in the Ninth Circuit.
Citing Supreme Court ruling in the Matal v. Tam, it compels the court to conclude that King County’s (“County”) “demeaning or disparaging” and “harmful or disruptive” restrictions on AFDI’s political speech are unconstitutional. In fact, these speech restrictions are facially invalid.
There is no basis to conclude otherwise. Unlike a trademark, which has a commercial component, the speech at issue here is pure political speech addressing a public issue—global terrorism. Consequently, “the viewpoint discrimination rationale renders unnecessary any extended treatment of other questions raised by the parties.”
On March 14, I attended a public presentation entitled Islam 101 at Golden West College in Huntington Beach, California. The presenter was Nicole Bovey, a convert to Islam and public information officer at the Islamic Institute of Orange County in Anaheim. Bovey also works with the Muslim Speakers Bureau in Orange County (an arm of the Islamic Networks Group). The presentation was sponsored by GWC professors Kaine Fini (Anthropology) and Communications Professor Kristine Clancy (most of the audience members were her students, and this was part of her class.) The event had been advertised publicly, hence was open to the public. Altogether, there were approximately 50 people present. I videotaped the entire proceeding. The event was scheduled to run from 6:45-9:30 pm. As it was, it was cut off at about 8:30 by one of the professors (more about that later.) During the event, Professor Clancy called in campus police and she admonished a couple of the people in the audience who had asked pointed questions.
Ms. Bovey’s presentation was a very basic and very vanilla presentation of Islam, explaining what Islam is, what it means, who Muslims are, Muslims’ worldwide demographic breakdown etc. Bovey’s lesson plan, consisting of slides posted on the walls, was about subjects like the 5 pillars of Islam, daily prayers etc. She stated at the outset that she was there to clear up misconceptions about Islam. In fact, the first image on the wall was of a masked man representing a terrorist. Yet, it was clear later into the presentation that she was not going to get into areas like terrorism or Sharia law. She invited the audience members to raise their hands to ask questions at any point.
Bovey was doing fine handling soft, non-controversial questions, but plainly could not handle pointed, uncomfortable questions from a few members of the audience, including myself. One audience member identified himself as a former Muslim from Egypt, who left Islam and became a Christian pastor. When he began to contradict statements by Bovey, she became uncomfortable. Subsequently, he was approached by Prof. Clancy who asked him to step outside. He returned a few minutes later. While Bovey was discussing Zakat (Islamic charity giving), another audience member asked her about the categories of Zakat and whether any of them allowed giving to non-Muslims. She was unable to answer the question. Another man in the audience, a Muslim, stated that there was a separate channel of giving other than Zakat that could be directed to non-Muslims.
During Bovey’s description of Islamic daily prayers, I asked her about Sura 1, verses 1-7, from the Quran, which are recited in those daily prayers. I read verses 6-7 to her from an English language Koran that referred to those who had incurred Allah’s wrath and those who had lost their way. I mentioned that according to a hadith, one of Mohammad’s followers had asked who that referred to and Mohammad’s answer was that the former were the Jews and the latter Christians. Bovey danced all around it stating that she didn’t know about that and that she had her own perception of who those people might be.
At one point, Bovey called for a 15-20 minute break because she and her AV assistant had to pray. At that point I turned my camera off and was looking at my cell phone when Professor Clancy began admonishing a couple of the men in the audience who had asked the above questions stating that this was her class. A campus police officer entered the room and a third staff member, International Student Program Director Melissa Lyon, asked a couple of them to step outside.
I have already covered the problem of Islamic indoctrination in the San Diego school system under the guise of anti-bullying curriculum. Now Cory Heidelberger is promoting Islamic indoctrination in the Aberdeen public schools under the guise of "History":
Americans First, Task Force, Facebook post, 2018.02.23.
It is difficult to live with people so ignorant and unneighborly [SIC]. But it is difficult and dangerous to leave that ignorance and unneighborliness [SIC] unchallenged.
Not only does Cory abuse English, he is also abusing the use of History as a tool to convert South Dakota into an Islamic State via indoctrination in our public schools. There is concern with promoting the 5 Pillars of Islam:
Georgia Public Schools are teaching key components of Islamic dawah: “schools are reportedly forcing students to learn the Five Pillars of Islam—the creed one must learn to convert—and teaching students that Allah is the same God worshipped by Christians.” So far, unlike in Tennessee, they haven’t [yet] forced the students to actually recite the Shahada, the Muslim confession of faith.
Further, homework assignments are designed to indoctrinate students into accepting this assertion as fact, when it is a strongly contested point which many traditional Christians flatly reject, and with compelling reason. In addition, the volume of Georgia school materials on Islam outnumber those on Christianity by up to 10 to 1, further highlighting the preferential treatment accorded Islam “in a way that could violate the U.S. Constitution.”
The “Same God” assertion is indeed a primary plank of Islamic dawah (proselytizing), and together with Islam’s claim to be an “Abrahamic Faith” is one of the main tools used by Muslim apologists to advance their agenda within unsuspecting Christian and Jewish communities.
Cory wants his neighbors to remain ignorant as to how far South Dakota public schools are going in regard to dawah, and the conversion of students into Jihad against America. Here is another example of Cory Heidelberger implementing the Islamic doctrine of fitnah, where it is a violation of Sharia to be critical of anything that has to do with Islam, which is worse than slaughter (and certainly worse than calling ones neighbor narrow minded and ignorant). It is also another example of Cory's hypocrisy as he forbids the establishment of Christianity in America, but welcomes Islamizing America. And in doing so, Cory uses slander against those neighbors who expose the real agenda of the Islamists, which is to destroy America from within. That is not a good example of a good American, and certainly does not fit Christian values. I wonder if his Christian pastor wife can challenge him?
And also note that the South Dakota High School Activities Association gave Maggie Fouberg an award of state champion for promoting this slander, thereby forcing South Dakota taxpayers to fund the agenda of establishing the religion of Islam in South Dakota. Perhaps we need to look at filing a civil rights suit against the Association, and any school that has crossed the line in regard to establishing the religion of Islam.
At 32 years old, Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is already the most dominant Arab leader in a generation. This week, he embarks on a cross-country American tour, where he'll pitch his kingdom to a skeptical U.S. public. He was named heir to the throne nine months ago by his 82-year-old father, King Salman, who granted his son vast new powers.
Known by his initials -- "M-B-S" -- his reforms inside Saudi Arabia have been revolutionary. He is emancipating women, introducing music and cinema and cracking down on corruption, in a land with 15,000 princes. But selling Saudi Arabia won't be easy. In his first interview with an American television network, he was eager to discuss his country's promise and its troubled reputation head-on.
Here is his position on the Muslim Brotherhood's involvement with education:
Saudi Arabia still adheres to an ancient power-sharing arrangement between the House of Saud and Wahhabi Islam, the strict, predominant faith in Saudi Arabia. But the crown prince told us it is not his religion, but extremists within Islamic groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, that have infiltrated Saudi society, including its schools.
Norah O'Donnell: Are you looking at the schooling and the education in Saudi Arabia?
Mohammed bin Salman: Saudi schools have been invaded by many elements from the Muslim Brotherhood organization, surely to a great extent. Even now, there are some elements left. It will be a short while until they are all eradicated completely.
Norah O'Donnell: You say you're going to eradicate this extremism in the education system here?
Mohammed bin Salman: Of course, no country in the world would accept that its educational system be invaded by any radical group.
Muslim Brotherhood front groups such as CAIR have infiltrated American schools, including South Dakota. Those who have issued warnings have been attacked by Cory Heidelberger and also Taneeza Islam, who has refused to denounce the Muslim Brotherhood when I asked her on November 27, 2017. Here is what I previously wrote about her history of indoctrinating youth:
And there is more in regard to Taneeza’s involvement with Muslim Brotherhood front groups. She was National Youth Program Development Coordinator for the Islamic Society of North America form August 2003 to October 2004. Shariq Ahmed Siddiqui, whose Doctorate thesis titled, “Navigating Identity Through Philanthropy: A History of the Islamic Society of North America (1979–2008)" was accepted by the Graduate Faculty of Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and published in November 2014, includes this:
“ISNA also recruited a series of American-born Muslims to work and lead departments. Taneeza Islam for Youth, Fawad Siddiqui and later Deana Othman for Islamic Horizons, Sarah Thompson for communications, Urooj Qureshi for convention programs, and Nida Saleem within the ISNA Development Foundation are just a few examples of this growing trend.”
“In 2003, prior to the establishment of the Youth Department, ISNA hired a youth coordinator, Taneeza Islam, to oversee its youth activities and to help create a framework for this work at its headquarters. Islam was unique to the ISNA staff in a number of ways. She was a second-generation Muslim American, and by hiring someone who could understand their experiences, ISNA reaffirmed its commitment to youth. Also, at the time, she was the first Bengali American hired to the staff. Islam had not been involved with MYNA, MSA, or ISNA prior to being hired and came from outside ISNA's traditional factions. Finally, Islam became the second female to lead a department at ISNA's headquarters.
The Youth Department's initial tasks were to take over the ISNA internship program, become an advisor to MYNA, organize youth aspects of the national and regional conferences, and reach out to interfaith partners such as the Boy Scouts of America and the Interfaith Youth Core. Islam also organized a MYNA conference under the theme “Painting Our Future With Colors of the Past” in the hope of reenergizing the MYNA alumni base. She also coordinated a series of national Islamic entertainment events in four cities across the country. Islam’s role was to help initiate the revival and to develop a framework for MYNA. In 2004, Islam left ISNA to attend law school.”
Perhaps this was when the American born Taneeza Islam was indoctrinated with the Muslim Brotherhood’s Wahhabi based doctrines. At a MYNA [Muslim Youth of North America] web blog Siddiqui provides more details on Taneeza’s involvement with ISNA:
“End of March/Start of April 2003 – Taneeza Islam inquires about the “ISNA/MYNA Youth Coordinator” position on http://www.isna.net/ and is invited by the Secretary General and head of the Community Development Dept. for a few-days visit to ISNA Headquarters which goes well for her.
Aug. 17, 2003 - Taneeza Islam is officially hired by ISNA Headquarters to fill the Youth Coordinator position. She is first told she will be the head of a new “ISNA Youth Department,” but then placed in the Community Development Department. Then it’s said it is only for training until she is oriented and has built up enough steam, and then she can build her own Youth Department. Shariq Siddiqui and Taneeza spend the next couple of months working on an action plan for the next year. Meanwhile the Strategic Planning Youth Committee has been left in the dark about the position and is updated and ask for input on the process.
Oct. 4, 2003 - MYNA Committee members Asim Muhammad, Asad Siddiqui, Riyad Shamma and Hassan Siddiqi come to Headquarters for ISNA Majlis Meeting and give a presentation on their efforts’ progress. Also, Taneeza Islam and the fledgling ISNA Youth effort under Community Development Department present their plan for youth work as well. Both are brought in line with each other and the MYNA Committee plans on working with the ISNA Strategic Planning Youth committee as well. Taneeza basically becomes the MYNA Youth Coordinator at the headquarters, fulfilling the project set in motion in 1999.”
After law school, Taneeza worked as a Complaint Investigator for the City of Minneapolis while at the same time, involved with CAIR-MN as its first Civil Rights Director until March 2012, Then she made a move to South Dakota and worked as a Contract Attorney for Sioux Falls law firm Johnson, Heidepriem, Abdallah LLP. She opened her own Sioux Falls law firm in November 2013.
It is time for education leaders, governmental officials, and the media to stop listening to Taneeza's propaganda designed to silence those who recognize what the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia already knows and is now warning us about. Certainly the Crown Prince should not be considered "anti-Muslim", but instead an expert in regard to Muslim culture, along with being a proponent of Muslim wellbeing. But sadly, Cory Heidelberger and Taneeza Islam will automatically call those who issue the same concerns regarding the Muslim Brotherhood, "anti-Muslim" along with being racists, xenophobes, and Islamophobes.
Too many in South Dakota's media will repeat Taneeza's anti-free speech propaganda unchallenged. It is now time for South Dakotans to heed the warning of Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince and end the Muslim Brotherhood's infiltration of our state, America, and Washington DC. At this time, Sioux Falls is quickly reaching the tipping point of being South Dakota's first Sharia city, given that the Islamic Center of Sioux Falls is a Muslim Brotherhood Mosque, and how Taneeza Islam partnered with officials of that Mosque to protest a Muslim who came to Sioux Falls on April 9, 2017 to talk about his conversion to Christianity. It is clear that the people who are importing hate into South Dakota are the activists connected to the Muslim Brotherhood, not those who are coming here to warn us about what the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia admitted last Sunday to all of America. The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia did what Taneeza Islam refused to do...denounce the Muslim Brotherhood.
Aideen Strandsson is a woman without a country. She may live in Sweden, but she is a stateless person, with no passport, no citizenship and no way to get a job. She lives every day with the knowledge she could be deported to her native Iran where, as a Christian, she would face grave danger.
Sweden Remains Defiant Against Global Anger
The world was outraged when the Swedish government decided to send Strandsson, who is a Christian and former Muslim, back to Iran where she could face prison, rape and even death. But a worldwide outcry over her situation has apparently not changed anything.
After CBN News first brought the former Iranian actress's story to the world stage, the government of Hungary offered her asylum, and many people from around the world contacted the Swedish government asking it to reconsider.
"It was really like a miracle for me," Strandsson said, "When so many people in America called the Sweden embassy. Many people sent comments to me and said 'you are welcome to our country.'"
But Sweden's migration board told CBN News none of that matters. Aideen's case has been turned over to border police for deportation.
[And..]
Strandsson and other Christian asylum seekers in Sweden have faced deportation at the same time that the Swedish government has given 150 protected identities to former ISIS fighters who have returned to Sweden, so that they can find jobs.
There will be no such help for Aideen.
"There have been fast lanes for Syrians and Somalians, but not for Iranians and definitely not for Christians," Donner says. "We have one judge here in Stockholm who has never said yes to any Christian."
A teenage Muslim spending the night with friends stabbed three people, killing one, “because of his Muslim faith,”according to police in Florida.
The suspect read the Quran “to give him courage to carry out his intentions,” according to an affidavit.
Police reports indicate the FBI had the teen under surveillance for a year and was preparing affavadits to bring charges against him for threats and attempts to contact ISIS.
The details of the crime come from Local10.com Managing Editor Peter Burke, who reported 17-year-old Corey Johnson now faces charges of first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder for the early Monday stabbings at the BallenIsles Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens.
Police said officers arrived at the home after a 911 call and found Elaine Simon and her son, Dane Bancroft, 13, suffering from stab wounds. They were treated for their injuries.
Then the officers found Jovanni Brand dead.
Johnson was spending the night at the home of his friend, while Brand was there as a guest of the friend’s older brother, police said.
A probable cause affidavit, compiled by Officer Jennifer Brashear, explained: “Elaine heard what she believed to be Jovanni moaning and went upstairs to see what was going on. As she got to the top of the stairs, Johnson lunged at her with a knife, cutting her multiple times.”
The mother reported to police Dane charged Johnson “to protect his mother and Johnson then began to stab Dane.”
The older son, Kyle Bancroft, wasn’t injured, police reported.
The report said Johnson told police he bought the knife only days earlier and carried it with him.
“Johnson advised at 4 a.m. he realized that everyone in the house was asleep. At that time, Johnson made the decision to kill Elaine, Dane and Jovanni in their sleep,” a police affidavit said.
He then attacked Jovanni and cut his throat, police said.
“In his statement, Johnson advised he stabbed the victims because of his Muslim faith,” the affidavit said, explaining Johnson complained Jovanni was idolizing famous people, calling them gods. Johnson also claimed he felt Dane “made fun of” his Muslim faith.
A police report said Johnson read the Quran from his phone, just before the attack, “to give him courage to carry out his intentions.”
Kyle also told police he and Johnson would watch “extreme” jihad videos that “encourage death to non-believers.”
A neighbor in The Bluffs who occasionally took Corey Johnson to high school with other students said Wednesday that the 17-year-old accused of first-degree murder was a “world-class dude.”
“Pleasant. Polite. He was a quiet kid for his age. He was stoic. He was a very typical kid. He never did anything to make you think he would do something like this,” said the neighbor, who asked not to be named, citing his relationship with the family.
In January 2017, police and the FBI investigated several threats that the then Dwyer High School student made on Instagram to a Catholic school in England. Those threats were so severe in nature that up to 100 students were removed from the school fearing some sort of attack.
During the investigation, Corey Johnson's mother and grandparents told police that he was fascinated with dictators and their role in history, including Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Kim Jung Un.
They also advised police that he recently began discovering religion and stated that he owned a Muslim prayer cloth, a Kufi and had been studying the Quran.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office received information that Johnson watched several ISIS videos and according to its report, Johnson said he supported ISIS and reached out to the group and wanted to join the terrorist organization.
The FBI was given consent to monitor Johnson's social media accounts and internet activity by mirroring his computer.
In March 2017, Johnson denied he had any affiliation with ISIS, but did state he was supportive of known terrorist Anwar al Awlaki.
Interesting that a Christian hater was a fan of Adolf Hitler and Anwar al Awlaki. Will leftists like Cory Heidelberger point out the bigotry of this Muslim? Will they classify his actions as "hate" crimes?
I doubt the media will look into the amount of pro-Islamic indoctrination he may have received at school. If the left is willing to ignore the First Amendment in regard to the establishment of the religion of Islam in public schools, and want to ignore the Second Amendment when a gun is used to kill high school students, will they also talk about banning Qurans when they are used to kill? I don't think so, as they will argue the First Amendment. This incident is receiving very little coverage by the national media. You don't see CBS News anchors on site complaining about Islamic fueled hate. They still are focused on the leftist lead rebellion of high school students regarding kids killed by guns. They are not interested in talking about kids killed by knives.
So why the inconsistency in regard to constitutional rights? And we will probably not see nationwide protests against Islam by indoctrinated youth. The leftist agenda is not to eliminate the killing of youth, it is to kill the national sovereignty of America, as the left and Islamists join forces to misuse the constitution to destroy the constitution.
This all proves that banning guns and worshipping Allah will not stop the killing of American youth. Only the return of Jesus Christ will end that.
"FBI agents were probably too busy digging up dirt on Trump’s supposed Russia connections to pay much attention to Corey Johnson, and after all, it’s their official policy that Islam is a religion of peace, so how much trouble could this kid really get into?
The corrupt, clueless and compromised FBI needs to be thoroughly and impartially investigated."
Jesuit Father Michael Czerny, the co-secretary of the Vatican’s department for migrants and refugees, said that the Church needs to “change the narrative” on immigration, because “the public view is negative” in an address to members of the International Catholic Migration Commission on March 7.
“We need positive stories,” Czerny said, in order to help people appreciate the benefits of migration instead of always focusing on its problems.
As Breitbart News has reported, “Migrant” was the most commonly used word in Italian newspaper headlines during the year 2017, and most of the stories dealt with the arrivals of thousands of migrants into Italy from North Africa, migrant violence and crimes, and political debates regarding how to address Italy’s migrant crisis.
The pro-immigration, George Soros-funded lobby groupCarta di Romalamented that the word “migrant” appeared 2,455 times in headlines, stoking people’s fears of immigration when they should be embracing it. The group also inadvertently noted that the crime rate has fallen off significantly as the number of immigrant arrivals has dropped.
The group has been working to purge journalistic language of all references to migrants that could carry a negative connotation, including such terms as “illegal immigrants.”
Yes, we need positive stories. That will fix everything. If people will just stop reporting about Muslim migrant crimes and rapes, and jihad terror attacks, and all the rest, then those racist, xenophobic, Islamophobic Europeans will stop worrying and love the Muslim migrant influx, and all will be well and all manner of thing will be well.
Except for one thing. Those crimes and rapes and jihad terror attacks will keep on happening, and Europeans will be in full surrender mode, because any resistance is stigmatized as racist and “Islamophobic.”
“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)
(LifeSiteNews) – After leaked documents show billionaire George Soros has been trying topurchase influence with Catholic Church leadership in the United States and Rome to advance his “progressive” agenda, details continue to surface that raise the question of just how successful Soros may have been in his quest. The massive funds coming to the USCCB from the Obama Administration over pet issues such as refugees ($91 million) have some wondering if that is a reason for the bishops' virtual silence on Presidential candidate Hilary Clinton's atrocious record on life and family.
The American Catholic hierarchy is elevating other causes to primacy in place of the life issue, a new report says, “relegating the pro-life ministries to the doctrinal ash heap and committing funds and personnel to promote environmental and migration issues.”
“Migration pays very well,” said attorney and international child rights advocate Elizabeth Yore, “pro-life pays nothing.”
I am quite sure that my conservative Catholic friends and family members would find all of this very disturbing. But what can one do about it? Sadly many Catholics buy into the "Welcoming the stranger" propaganda tool used by so-called Christians in regard to the refugee issue. What they fail to understand is that the Bible has a different approach to criminals. In addition, the separation of church and state has not prevented Catholic Charities USA from receiving 65% of their funding from the federal taxpayers.
