Taneeza Islam's Islamic fascist bully tactics prevented founding member and 15 year veteran of Homeland Security from telling South Dakota his experiences

I received a tip via a comment that Taneeza Islam's threats caused the cancellation of James Simpson and Philip Haney planned November 4, 2017 presentation in Sioux Falls:

We are at a tipping point in our society.

Either we fight to survive or surrender to the forces of anarchy and despotism. In collusion with Islamic supremacists, the Left has gone to the mats to bring down our nation in an unholy alliance we call the Red-Green Axis. If they win, it spells the end for our republic. And while we have gotten something of a break from their destructive designs with the election of Donald Trump as president, they are doing everything possible to keep America in the dark and intimidate us into silence.

I have seen this up close and personal over the past few days. Last week I traveled to locations in the Midwest to speak on that issue. I was accompanied by Phil Haney, a Department of Homeland Security founding employee who was investigated by the Obama administration because he identified a large number of Islamic terrorists hiding in plain sight inside the U.S. Yes, he was investigated by the very agency that tasked him to do this job. That is the level of insanity we confront today.

On Tuesday we got the news that a booking at a venue we were scheduled to speak at in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, next week was cancelled when an organization named South Dakota Voices for Peace called and threatened the venue. They bragged about this in a press release:

The History Club of Sioux Falls has cancelled two events scheduled to take place at the historic venue: “Sioux Falls Immigration Question: Follow the $$$ with featured speaker Ron Branstner” scheduled for 10/26 and “Philip Haney and James Simpson 11/4.” All speakers have been identified as spreading misinformation about Islam, Muslims, refugees, immigrants and the refugee resettlement process.

We spoke Saturday at another venue in Illinois. Our hosts were threatened but did not back down. The restaurant where the event was to be held was contacted and told to cancel the event. Restaurant management responded that they do not take sides and would not cancel. The organizer of the event said she was also personally threatened and calls were made to her employer as well.

If this is not a demonstration of the Islamists’ Nazi mindset I don’t know what is.

The SDVFP press release also made this false claim:

“South Dakota Voices for Peace applauds and thanks the History Club of Sioux Falls for taking a stand against the spread of fear and hate in our community,” said Taneeza Islam, executive director. “Our role is to provide accurate information based on reports, and speaker videos to venues and the community on who these speakers really are and what they are trying to preach.  It is up to the community to decide what they will think about the message and if they will allow for a stage for these ideas.”

I attended one of her presentations and it was very one sided. Second, her press release provides zero reasons for attacking Philip Haney. Here is what I found:

Amid the chaos of the 2009 holiday travel season, jihadists planned to slaughter 290 innocent travelers on a Christmas Day flight from the Netherlands to Detroit, Michigan. Twenty-three-year old Nigerian Muslim Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab intended to detonate Northwest Airlines Flight 253, but the explosives in his underwear malfunctioned and brave passengers subdued him until he could be arrested. The graphic and traumatic defeat they planned for the United States failed, that time.

Following the attempted attack, President Obama threw the intelligence community under the bus for its failure to “connect the dots.” He said, “this was not a failure to collect intelligence, it was a failure to integrate and understand the intelligence that we already had.”

Most Americans were unaware of the enormous damage to morale at the Department of Homeland Security, where I worked, his condemnation caused. His words infuriated many of us because we knew his administration had been engaged in a bureaucratic effort to destroy the raw material—the actual intelligence we had collected for years, and erase those dots. The dots constitute the intelligence needed to keep Americans safe, and the Obama administration was ordering they be wiped away.

After leaving my 15 year career at DHS, I can no longer be silent about the dangerous state of America’s counter-terror strategy, our leaders’ willingness to compromise the security of citizens for the ideological rigidity of political correctness—and, consequently, our vulnerability to devastating, mass-casualty attack.

Just before that Christmas Day attack, in early November 2009, I was ordered by my superiors at the Department of Homeland Security to delete or modify several hundred records of individuals tied to designated Islamist terror groups like Hamas from the important federal database, the Treasury Enforcement Communications System (TECS). These types of records are the basis for any ability to “connect dots.”  Every day, DHS Customs and Border Protection officers watch entering and exiting many individuals associated with known terrorist affiliations, then look for patterns. Enforcing a political scrubbing of records of Muslims greatly affected our ability to do that. Even worse, going forward, my colleagues and I were prohibited from entering pertinent information into the database.

A few weeks later, in my office at the Port of Atlanta, the television hummed with the inevitable Congressional hearings that follow any terrorist attack. While members of Congress grilled Obama administration officials, demanding why their subordinates were still failing to understand the intelligence they had gathered, I was being forced to delete and scrub the records.

Haney was a founding member of Homeland Security, and Taneeza Islam is using false and unfounded allegations designed to prevent South Dakotans from about his experiences. The last thing she needs is Haney exposing this:

I asked Haney about the false, but very loudly repeated, administration narrative that Orlando jihadi Omar Mateen was “self-radicalized” — an assertion that grows more ridiculous with each new revelation about his background.

Haney described the self-radicalization narrative as “surreal.”

“Imagine what it must have been like to be an active-duty subject matter expert in counter-terrorism,” he said:

I had my own superiors making these kind of statements incessantly. When I was sitting there with evidence, for example, about the Ft. Pierce mosque – not only was there another person that blew himself up in Syria, but there’s an individual who is teaching a radicalization course who is on early release for weapons charges and tax fraud. And then his own father is vice-president of the mosque.

“As though nobody knew anything – that’s completely preposterous,” he said. “If you know anything about the Islamic worldview, family and community is ultimately central to everything they do. The concept of operating alone is anathema to the Islamic worldview. They just don’t do it.”

“So, self-radicalization – what does that even mean any more?” he asked. “Nobody is self-anything in this world we live in.”

I suggested that one of the driving forces behind the self-radicalization narrative is that it protects the Obama administration from charges that it dropped the ball on counterterrorism, portraying terrorists like Mateen as thunderbolts nobody could have seen coming.

Haney laughed derisively at the idea of pushing that excuse when we know Mateen was interviewed on multiple occasions by the FBI. He compared it to the way President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton blamed the Benghazi terror attack on a “spontaneous video protest,” a false narrative meant to get them off the hook for being so completely unprepared to deal with the crisis. In both Benghazi and Orlando, red flags were ignored, and now they are retroactively denied.

“They say radicalization is ‘sudden.’ Well, a rocket launch looks very sudden, if you don’t know about all the months of hard work it took to get that rocket onto the launch pad,” Haney observed.

He denounced these political games as dangerously cynical.

“That’s when the false narrative morphs into an ominous malevolent entity, because the President is contradicting his own law enforcement agencies,” he observed.

Another false narrative he criticized was the fiction that radical Islamic organizations won’t cooperate, especially if they fall on opposite sides of the Sunni-Shiite divide. Haney stressed that obedience to sharia law — which he said radicals across the sectarian spectrum are “eighty percent in agreement on” — and the desire to impose it upon secular governments was a powerful common interest.

“It’s like the solar system, and sharia is the Sun,” he said of the Muslim continuum. To extend the analogy, radical groups might be seen as the outer planets, and the asteroid belt isn’t as wide as politically-correct U.S. government ideology portrays it.

Haney noted that Omar Mateen’s father is a supporter of the Taliban in Afghanistan, whose name is derived from the word for “student,” and “sharia law is what they study.” The centrality of the Islamic legal code to radicals cannot be overstated; he observed that all of them list imposing sharia as one of their primary goals and believe strict adherence to sharia is a defining attribute of true Islamic faith.

This is precisely the understanding that the Obama administration aggressively prevents counterintelligence analysts from reaching. Haney noted analysts are not supposed to discuss concepts like sharia or jihad because such discussion is deemed “insensitive” to non-radicalized Muslims. The mindset of studied indifference stretches all the way to the top, as demonstrated by the root-canal difficulty of getting President Obama and Hillary Clinton to use the phrase “radical Islam.”

We have at least moved past the point where the dominant liberal media and government culture denies sharia law — not long ago, it was portrayed as a figment of bigoted imagination by paranoids out in flyover country — but they are still very uncomfortable discussing what it says, or the integral role it plays in religious tradition and politics.

That is the very discussion that Taneeza Islam is in fear of. She is still falsely attacking those having that discussion as a "figment of bigoted imagination by paranoids out in flyover country." Why doesn't Taneeza participate in these discussion instead of working hard to eliminate the discussion from happening at all? The media needs to start asking that question instead of letting her spread propaganda designed to deceive South Dakotans. The biggest piece of propaganda is her display of victimhood of hatred. Instead she is a perpetrator by causing Muslims and deceived leftists like Cory Heidelberger to hate others by race baiting, name calling, and making threats to anybody who would have them. In this example she denigrated a 15 year veteran of Homeland Security, all designed to prevent us from hearing his story. If that is not an example of Islamic Supremacy, then what is?

We are at a tipping point in South Dakota. Get a copy of Phil Haney's, "See Something, Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government's Submission to Jihad", and read what Taneeza Islam doesn't want you to know. You can also hear what he has to say here.

What I do not understand is how Argus Leader reporter Dana Ferguson & Libby Skarin of the S.D. ACLU so blindly go along with whatever the Interfaith Group, Taneeza Islam and SouthDakotaVoicesForPeace.org says.

Just go to Twitter & search using #SDleg & read what Dana and Libby (or Libby via the SDACLU account) say.

Why don't Dana & Libby explore the shut down of free speech by these three speakers just 3 mos ago?

Oh wait, Dana did report on it as a good thing & quoted Taneeza in so doing:

Hope you're okay with me dropping these links here. Thanks for stepping up.

The United Snakes is a rogue state.

"A former St. Catherine University student charged with setting fires on the college’s St. Paul campus told police she did it because she’d “been reading about the U.S. military destroying schools in Iraq or Afghanistan and she felt that she should do exactly the same thing,” according to a criminal complaint filed Friday."

Jim, odd that the media would be against free speech. Or perhaps they believe that they and liberals are the only ones who deserve that right. That kind of matches up with Islamic supremacy, and the Antifa activists. In group identity politics, principles don't matter. Your rights depend on what group you are in.

KM, we can never have too much research.
