Back in November, I responded on Pat Powers' web site to Dusty Johnson taking credit for the fake budget crisis who Governor Daugaard promoted:
There was no $127 million budget deficit, and I gave him the analysis that exposed the lie. He will never get my support by using that lie as a campaign tactic.
And...
The federal money did not entirely go away. The deficit was only $12 million and the Obama stimulus was $100s of millions. Dusty is spreading liberal big government propaganda.
Then comes another lie from Johnson regarding the issue of religious freedom for Muslims:
Johnson, a Republican from Mitchell who formerly served as a public utilities commissioner and as chief of staff to Gov. Dennis Daugaard, said he “absolutely” supports the right of American Muslims to practice their religion.
“We live in dangerous times, and I know there are people across the globe and at home who hold extreme and un-American views,” Johnson said. “But I think we need to confront those threats with targeted, nuanced, intelligent solutions, and I think stereotyping all American Muslims is a great way to grab headlines, but a lousy way to keep us safe.”
Dusty Johnson is spreading the same false allegations we hear from Taneeza Islam, Cory Heidelberger, and much of South Dakota's media, instead of exposing them as those "who hold extreme and un-American views". Senator Tapio is not "stereotyping all American Muslims". This is his position:
"Does our Constitution offer protections and rights to a person who believes in the full implementation of Islamic Law, as practiced by 14 Islamic countries and up to 350 [million] self-described Muslims, who believe in the deadly political ideology that believes you should be killed for leaving Islam?" Tapio wrote.
Not all Muslims support implementation of Sharia Law, which will destroy religious freedoms if fully implemented. It is the Muslim Brotherhood who wants to install a Caliphate in order to implement full blown Islamic Law on a global basis. Here is some insight from a Muslim who has actually experienced the bigotry of certain Islamists:
Raheem, every so often, includes autobiographical details. He speaks of "my upbringing, with parents intent on giving their children a better life. When I was growing up, my family had a four-bedroom detached house with a pool in the back yard, and our grandmother lived with us for many months of the year. We were the epitome of the upper middle class, and from what? A village called Moshi in Tanzania." He compares the strict gender segregation he witnessed at a mosque in San Bernardino, California, with his own experiences. "I was lucky enough to have been raised in a relatively liberal sect of Islam. This sect is considered apostate by most Sunnis. But it allows women to wear whatever they like to the mosque — they often took full, fashionable advantage of this — and its small amounts of gender segregation are really only for show. When the mosque was full, men and women would sit alongside one another and usually socialize inside and outside of the prayer hall, before and after services." After a visit to Hamtramck, Michigan, he writes:
It was no surprise to me that just a few weeks after my visit, a major national news story, created by the complacency I feared, emanated out of Michigan. Police arrested several doctors in Livonia, which is close to Hamtramck, in the first attempt to convict for the barbaric process of female genital mutilation in the history of the United States. The victims came from the Bohra community. Bohras are actually Shias, even Ismailis - the same branch of Islam I was raised in. To make things more complicated, we were "Nizaris" whereas they are "Dawoodis." Most of them are Indian, but some are Pakistani and some are Yemeni. And, for whatever reason, they don't mind hacking their children's genitals to bits. For the record, this wasn't an occurrence, not in the slightest, in Nizari Ismailism. I never once even heard about it growing up. But then again, maybe that's half the problem.
Though these details appear only sporadically, it is clear that the issues of assimilation are personal for Raheem. It is easy to sense a degree of pain as Raheem talks about the main victims of No Go Zones: the immigrants themselves, who are being robbed of the blessings of life in the West. Thus, it is he — and not his detractors, who ignore these problems — who has true compassion.
Speaking of his detractors, Raheem strips them of their supposed altruism. "Across all the No Go Zones I visited, election posters, flyers, and stickers for socialist and communist parties littered lampposts and local notice boards." The European left plays identity politics with these migrants. And the results are: welfare dependency, high crime rates (and therefor, high incarceration rates), drug abuse — largely (Raheem argues) stemming from alienation, the inevitable result of the failure to integrate into their new society. That the Left sees this and still insists on resisting policies of assimilation, such as language requirements, is quite telling. It is the alienated and the malcontented that vote left, after all.
But — arrogantly self-righteous as ever — the Left accuses Raheem of "Islamophobia." He anticipates this, and draws on French philosopher Pascal Bruckner to answer. Wrote Bruckner:
At the end of the 1970s, Iranian fundamentalists invented the term "Islamophobia" formed in analogy to "xenophobia". The aim of this word was to declare Islam inviolate. Whoever crosses this border is deemed a racist. This term, which is worthy of totalitarian propaganda, is deliberately unspecific about whether it refers to a religion, a belief system or its faithful adherents around the world. ...
The term "Islamophobia" serves a number of functions: it denies the reality of an Islamic offensive in Europe all the better to justify it; it attacks secularism by equating it with fundamentalism. Above all, however, it wants to silence all those Muslims who question the Koran, who demand equality of the sexes, who claim the right to renounce religion, and who want to practice their faith freely and without submitting to the dictates of the bearded and doctrinaire. It follows that young girls are stigmatised for not wearing the veil, as are French, German or English citizens of Maghribi, Turkish, African or Algerian origin who demand the right to religious indifference, the right not to believe in God, the right not to fast during Ramadan. Fingers are pointed at these renegades, they are delivered up to the wrath of their religions communities in order to quash all hope of change among the followers of the Prophet.
None of that matters to leftists, whose main objective is to paint people like Raheem as the devil. But Raheem was not the snake who used lies to cause turmoil in the Garden of Eden, which is how leftists the world over see Sweden. That distinction goes to the media and socialist politicians like Ylva Johansson, Sweden's minister for employment and integration, who were willing to lie to cover up the migrant-driven rise in the level of rapes.
Dusty Johnson has sided with the Islamists and the leftists here in South Dakota, who are trying to destroy America from within as South Dakota's media helps Johnson promote his lies. Back in 2011, I exposed him as a faux conservative clear back in 2011:
And now Governor Daugaard has been handed the baton:
“South Dakota’s schools are already doing a good job,” said Daugaard. “But we can always strive to do better. I will lead the charge to strengthen our science, technology, engineering and math education. This will give our students a solid foundation to compete in a global economy.”We are just human capital in the eyes of the corporate elite. Education is not education. It is free job training for the global capitalists. And this is the exact opposite of a "competitive free market" economic system. Don't be deceived by Republicans who say they are in favor of capitalism. It is not the limited government brand they are talking about.
And now we can better understand why Dusty Johnson is the Governor's Chief of Staff and proponent of the City Manager for Mitchell. As I stated before, he is a faux conservative. And more and more true limited government conservatives are slowing finding this out.
Johnson is still promoting the globalists line by supporting the agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood:
Over the past half-century religion has been in decline in the Western part of the world and in most of the East as well. Spirituality has been traded for materialism as living standards have increased, and popular culture has become almost completely secular as well. Why has the situation been different within the Middle East? How come the Judeo-Christian ethic has eroded, but the Islamic ethic has experienced an apparent resurgence? This study will try to explain how this situation is not something that has occurred by chance and it will offer evidence that militant Islam has been a card played by the global elites of the dominant Anglo-American establishment to achieve the long-term goal of a world government.
Before we turn to the events of September 11 we must first look at the small group of Muslim scholars who developed the ideology, and then as we continue it will become clear how tight-knit and closely connected the movement really is. It is a small movement within the religion of Islam, but it is very influential and its effectiveness must be measured in other ways than simply counting the number of adherents to its philosophy.
As we related in Part One, the British used Islam to legitimize their puppet rulers in Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Palestine after taking over the Middle East in World War I. Because of this Islam was seen by much of the Arab populace as just another part of the corrupt colonial establishment. That is why the legitimate anti-colonial movements, such as those of Nasser, Mossadegh and Bhutto, were primarily secular in nature. When these nationalist movements began to succeed outside of the British sphere of influence the British turned to their Islamic allies to subvert these independent regimes. The Muslim Brotherhood stands out as the most important counter-revolutionary movement of this period in the Middle East, and one of the British-based Globalists’ most important strategic assets today.
Note that most of the Muslims are not on board with the Muslim Brotherhood's Islamists agenda. The problem is not "all Muslims."
Tying Johnson to the Muslim Brotherhood Islamist agenda is not some conspiracy theory. Johnson is even getting campaign money and support from a South Dakota Muslim:
Hani Shafai, a Muslim and Rapid City resident, said he is concerned about Tapio's rhetoric. Shafai has hosted a fundraiser for Johnson and is scheduled to deliver a presentation about Islam on Friday to the Black Hills Press Club & Forum.
Not sure if Shafai is a Muslim Brotherhood Islamists or an uninformed useful tool for them, but I the money Dusty got from him influenced his ill-informed and deceitful response to the Rapid City Journal. I would appreciate any research on this guy. Clearly Johnson's election success rides on getting money so he can promote lies and propaganda that many voters will believe. That not only makes Dusty a successful politician, but also a dangerous one.
Good work, Steve.
Straight out of the Dick Wadhams playbook: unaffiliated candidate George Hendrickson has filed with the Federal Election Commission for South Dakota's lone US House seat running to the left of Democrat Tim Bjorkman on cannabis and civil liberties giving an easy win to whichever earth hater is nominated in June.
In 2014 flip-flopping Larry Pressler was enlisted by earth hater operative Wadhams to run to the left in South Dakota's US Senate race as an unaffiliated candidate and successfully eroded Democrat Rick Weiland's base of support.
Fact is: the best way to a strong two party system in South Dakota is for arch-conservatives to launch a third party. South Dakota's most ardent earth haters are still looking for principled conservatives to run in statewide elections. Stace Nelson, Neal Tapio and Lora Hubbel could be those candidates.

Kurtz no one cares! Keep your drugs & creepy crawly little bed bug friends & stay out of our wonderful state! This guy cannot ever say anything original due to memory loss and is trying to divide our party. It is so obvious it's funny!

Sorry for this off-topic comment, Steve but it might be time for you to take gender dysphoria next.
Wondering why some people want to cut off their testicles, change genders or why your kids are autistic?
Aluminum, propylene glycol (steareths), Triclosan, parabens and phthalates are endocrine disruptors that wreak havoc in children and adolescents.
Industrial agriculture is also complicit in gender dysphoria and autism.
It sure is curious how some can tout the benefits of surgical genital mutilation as a treatment for gender dysphoria while condemning other therapies like cannabis and denying others death with dignity.

Dang, red flags?! Follow the money.
These connections will surely engage interesting discussions with family, friends and groups we spend time with.

Follow the money is right on and it is hard sometimes since they try to cover their tracks

Well, I certainly wouldn't want voters to know where my funding was coming from if I knew it was coming from people who supported killing the LGBT community, forcing women to be covered and little girls to have FGM performed on them...I probably don't need to continue with what Islam endorses.
I guess it's kind of like if Planned Parenthood or NARAL donated $$ to a pro-life candidate. Money can make people do things they never thought they would do.
Steve is ahead of the game when it comes to investigative research. I wonder, Steve, would you be willing to do research straight from the Twin Cities?
