LA Top Cop in Bed with Muslim Brotherhood

Deputy Chief Michael Downing of the Los Angeles Police Department officially partners with the Muslim Brotherhood to fight Muslim terrorism. Downing calls the Muslim Brotherhood "Like Democrats and Republicans."

The Los Angeles Police Department’s Deputy Chief Michael Downing, who is the Commanding Officer of the Counter-Terrorism and Special Operations Bureau, shows some knowledge of the Muslim Brotherhood, but dismisses accusations that it is currently a threat because, in his words, it has “evolved and changed.”

On May 15, 2011, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Muslim Public Affairs Unit held a town hall at the Islamic Center of Southern California, a mosque with Brotherhood origins. It was moderated by the Muslim Public Affairs Council, a group that was founded by Brotherhood ideologues. Tom Trento of The United West held up a copy of Shariah: The Threat to America, authored by top national security experts, and asked if the speakers believe that there is a Muslim Brotherhood presence in Los Angeles County and what is being done about it.

Downing answered the question by conceding that he is “sure” that the Brotherhood is in his county, but did not address its threat potential. Trento approached him after the event and, on videotape, Downing said that “the message is not to demonize the Brotherhood here” because it has “evolved and changed.” He compared it to how there are more moderate and more extreme elements of the Republican and Democratic parties and said it would be wrong to oppose a group like the Muslim Students Association just because it was founded by the Brotherhood.

He then encouraged Trento to study ijtihad, an Islamic concept that permits independent scrutiny of specific interpretations. When Trento responded that, according to mainstream Islamic theology, ijtihad is “closed,” Downing disagreed, only saying, “it’s not.”

The United West’s video of the encounter then quotes the 2011 edition of the Encyclopedia Britanica about ijtihad, confirming that it was declared a thing in the past by the Islamic schools of jurisprudence by 1258 A.D. Downing would later use the incident as an example of those who “want to instill fear in the hearts of the American people because they don’t tell the truth.”Downing’s response isn’t surprising. In 2010, he said, “CAIR is not a terrorist-supporting organization” and condescendingly added that anyone who disagrees with him is an “amateur intelligence officer.” Apparently to Downing, the federal government only consists of amateurs. In 2007, a court filing by the federal government stated, “From its founding by Muslim Brotherhood leaders, CAIR conspired with other affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood to support terrorists.” By Downing’s definition, District Court Judge Solis is also an amateur because he ruled that the government provided “ample” evidence tying CAIR to Hamas to uphold the “unindicted co-conspirator” designation.

For Greater Glory, Review by Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap.

Religious liberty is never guaranteed by anything but our own vigilance. Even in this country, contempt for religious faith, and especially the Catholic faith, is alive and well.

This film is about the the dramatic and tragic tension which occurred when a secular world view imposed itself on the profoundly religious Mexican culture of the early 20th Century. Lives were lost, and many became martyrs. Originally beatified on Nov. 22, 1992 by Pope John Paul II, 25 Mexican martyrs, including priests, seminarians, and laity were canonized by His Holiness in the Jubilee Year of 2000. The cost in blood of promoting the cause of these Mexican saints is not commonly acknowledged. His Eminence, Cardinal Juan Jesus Posadas was assassinated within a year of the beatifications on May 26, 1993. And the recently retired archbishop of Guadalajara, Cardinal Juan Sandoval was maliciously poisoned, though his life was saved though emergency surgery. During the Holy Year 2000 the Catholic Church was falsely accused of using the canonization of these Mexican Martyrs to politically influence the Mexican elections. This is when the "interconstitutional commission" comprising representatives of the federal and state governments and the Catholic Church determined that the killing of Cardinal Juan Jesus Posadas of Guadalajara, Jalisco on May 26, 1993 was not accidental.

Communist How To Destroy America

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit Upholds Government’s Use of Taxpayer Funds to Support Sharia

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled that a federal taxpayer lacks “standing” to challenge the government’s use of taxpayer funds to support sharia-based activities. A former combat Marine who served in Iraq was the plaintiff in Murray v. United States Department of Treasury, et al. The federal lawsuit alleged that the U.S. government’s takeover and financial bailout of AIG was in violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. As argued by American Freedom Law Center (AFLC), by propping up AIG with taxpayer funds, the U.S. government is directly and indirectly promoting Islam and, more troubling, sharia. And as the Sixth Circuit noted in its opinion, Murray objects to his tax money being used to support sharia because it “forms the basis for the global jihadist war against the West and the United States.” Using tens of billions of taxpayer dollars, has directly promoted and supported sharia as a religious legal doctrine in violation of the U.S. Constitution.

Islamists For Pascrell: Anti-Semitism in American Politics

The Islamist poster urges the “Arab diaspora community” to “elect the friend of the Arabs” and billed the race as “the most important election in the history of the [Arab] community,” according to one provisional translation.

A New Jersey congressional race is becoming a referendum on a candidate’s Judaism. Islamists are going after a Jewish congressman. Islamic Jew-hatred rears its ugly beheading for the first time in a congressional race.

The Democratic primary race in northern New Jersey has devolved into a highly competitive proxy war over Israel, pitting the state’s pro-Israel community against a growing constituency of Arab [Muslim] voters who have accused a sitting congressman of putting Israel’s interests before America’s.

As the race between Democratic Reps. Steve Rothman and Bill Pascrell nears its Tuesday finish, veteran political observers on the ground have expressed concern at the way the battle between the two veteran lawmakers has transformed into a troubling ethnic brawl.

Krauthammer: Obama admin leaking intelligence on virus attacks to boost chances in Nov is scandalous

http://www.therightscoop.com/krauthammer-obama-admin-leaking-intelligence-on-virus-attacks-to-boost-chances-in-nov-is-scandalous/

It’s beyond a problem, it’s a scandal. Leaking the details that we saw in that plan about a very very highly secret operation, the name of the operation, how it worked, when it worked, how it leaked out, the fact that we had Israeli cooperation, the name of the Israeli unit – all I was missing were the Hebrew names of the Israeli agents and their street addresses in Jerusalem.

You wonder how and administration could do this, could allow all these secrets out and jeopardize what we’ve done, simply as a way to boost a president in an election year. I think it is a scandal.

Secret Service Interrogates Anyone Who Questions Obama's Eligibility

This video documents federal agents coming to the home of anti-Obama activist Rudy Davis aka LoneStar1776. There seems to be a campaign by the Secret Service to learn personal information about political critics of Obama. In a free country it is disconcerting to see the US Government sending armed agents to interrogate political activists. If Rudy were a Muslim this would be considered harassment and Islamophobia but law-abiding citizens who disagree with Obama are questioned.

NYC MAYOR BLOOMBERG’S ACTUAL DEFENSE OF LARGE DRINK BAN: ‘WE’RE SIMPLY FORCING YOU TO UNDERSTAND’

“The idea here is, you tend to eat all the food in the container in front of you,” Bloomberg said on MSNBC Thursday afternoon. “If it’s a bigger container, you eat more. If somebody put it in a smaller glass or plate or bowl in front of you, you would eat less.”

And then there’s this: “We’re not taking away anybody’s right to do things, we’re simply forcing you to understand that you have to make the conscious decision to go from one cup to another cup.”

“It’s not perfect, it’s not the only answer, it’s not the only cause of people being overweight – but we’ve got to do something,” he added. “We have an obligation to warn you when things are not good for your health.”

And: “I would just like to … force the consumer to hopefully move over to the less fattening drinks and everybody will be better off.”

‘Real News From The Blaze:’ Is Grade Inflation Producing a Generation of Overrated and Entitled Graduates?

The White House has announced it has granted more exemptions to No Child Left Behind, giving schools more flexibility to design curriculums that work best for their students, as long as they agree to meet certain educational benchmarks in exchange for the exemptions.
As more and more colleges and universities use ‘flexibility’ in their grading systems, there has been an increase in grade inflation, which some say leads to under-equipped, overrated, and overconfident graduates entering the work force.

Former college professor and Department of Education official Lori Roman joined “Real News” Wednesday to break down the negative effects grade inflation has on the development of students and the overall economy.

The competitiveness of academia secures high tuition-paying admitted students and the demands of increasing generations of entitled kids spiking grades.

With more students receiving "A"s than ever, are our kids getting smarter, or, is this grade inflation?

‘THEN AND NOW’ ANTI-OBAMA VIDEO

PROTESTORS AND SUPPORTERS OF REP. ALLEN WEST CLASH AT TOWN HALL

PROTESTORS AND SUPPORTERS OF REP. ALLEN WEST CLASH AT TOWN HALL

A half dozen officers from the Boca Raton police department were on hand to run interference between West supporters and those who West said were hired by “the San Francisco billionaire” from the Credo SuperPAC but the real scuffles (and yes, I mean plural ) began, as they often do, during the audience question period where a woman interrupted the Congressman to argue her point on gay marriage. When approached by West’s security, the anti- West crowd began to loudly complain about the security team’s tactics, calling them storm troopers and accusing them of “Gestapo-like” behavior.

Ironically enough, West was so unafraid to engage in dialogue with the protesters that he engaged one or two of them in long one-on-one conversations, and good naturedly swatted down the ones that only came to scream at him. Examples of both exchanges were captured in this video, where West responded to a questioner who accused him of having no solutions with the line, “Put me in charge of this country and I’ll show you solutions.”

Not one to back down from a fight, West said, as he was surrounded, “I’m gonna stand right here.”
The words became physical when a West supporter with a cane responded to a woman who used profanity toward a man by shoving her and threatening to hit her with the cane. Police were around, but did not act forcefully with any of the people attending. One man, an anti-West protester, gently bumped the BPR camera person twice, purposely trying to intimidate.

Nobel Peace Prize Winner Turns Killer

Secret ‘Kill List’ Proves a Test of Obama’s Principles and Will

The Times interviewed 36 current and former advisers for its piece, and they painted a picture of someone who has changed:

They describe a paradoxical leader who shunned the legislative deal-making required to close the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba, but approves lethal action without hand-wringing. While he was adamant about narrowing the fight and improving relations with the Muslim world, he has followed the metastasizing enemy into new and dangerous lands. When he applies his lawyering skills to counterterrorism, it is usually to enable, not constrain, his ferocious campaign against Al Qaeda — even when it comes to killing an American cleric in Yemen, a decision that Mr. Obama told colleagues was “an easy one.”

Abortion, Pro-Life, The War on Baby Girls: Part 1 - Undercover in Texas

Sign the petition NOW to stop the killing of girls, just because they are girls! www.ProtectOurGirls.com

Over 100 millions girls are missing today. These girls were victims of gendercide. The war on baby girls begins in the womb.

AUSTIN, May 29 -- Today, Live Action released a new undercover video showing a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Austin, TX encouraging a woman to obtain a late-term abortion because she was purportedly carrying a girl and wanted to have a boy. The video is first in a new series titled "Gendercide: Sex-Selection in America," exposing the practice of sex-selective abortion in the United States and how Planned Parenthood and the rest of the abortion industry facilitate the selective elimination of baby girls in the womb.

"I see that you're saying that you want to terminate if it's a girl, so are you just wanting to continue the pregnancy in the meantime?" a counselor named "Rebecca" offers the woman, who is purportedly still in her first trimester and cannot be certain about the gender. "The abortion covers you up until 23 weeks," explains Rebecca, "and usually at 5 months is usually (sic) when they detect, you know, whether or not it's a boy or a girl." Doctors agree that the later in term a doctor performs an abortion, the greater the risk of complications.

The Planned Parenthood staffer suggests that the woman get on Medicaid in order to pay for an ultrasound to determine the gender of her baby, even though she plans to use the knowledge for an elective abortion. She also tells the woman to "just continue and try again" for the desired gender after aborting a girl, and adds, "Good luck, and I hope that you do get your boy."

"The search-and-destroy targeting of baby girls through prenatal testing and abortion is a pandemic that is spreading across the globe," notes Lila Rose, founder and president of Live Action. "Research proves that sex-selective abortion has now come to America. The abortion industry, led by Planned Parenthood, is a willing participant."

Six studies in the past four years indicate that there are thousands of "missing girls" in the U.S., many from sex-selective abortion. The U.K., India, Australia, and other countries ban sex-selective abortion, but the U.S., save for three states, does not. On Wednesday, Congress will debate the Prenatal Non-Discrimination Act (PRENDA), which would ban sex-selective abortions nationally.

"Planned Parenthood and their ruthless abortion-first mentality is the real 'war on women'," says Rose. "Sex-selective abortion is gender discrimination with lethal consequences for little girls."

The complete, unedited video and transcript can be viewed at www.ProtectOurGirls.com, a hub of research and information on sex-selective abortions.

Live Action is a youth led movement dedicated to building a culture of life and ending the human rights abuse of abortion. They use new media to educate the public about the humanity of the unborn and investigative journalism to expose threats against the vulnerable and defenseless.

CROWD REBUKES PIVEN FOR SAYING TEA PARTY DOESN‘T ’LIKE THE IDEA OF A BLACK PRESIDENT’

We’ve already covered the fact that Frances Fox Piven spoke at Messiah College — a Christian, higher education facility. Now, what we haven’t delved into is exactly what the radical academic had to say.

Sure, we told you that Piven admitted that the “tea party is an authentic movement,” a curious comment to say the least. But many of the news reports that recapped the event left out her more devilish commentary (which, as is usually the case, was in the details).

In addressing the successful right-leaning conservative movement, Piven seemed to allude a to her belief that the Tea Party is motivated by racism. Below, see her begin to dive into this mantra (which has become commonplace for many people on the left). In fact, she even says that the Tea Party doesn’t “like the idea of a black president.”

You’ll hear a man in the audience respond to her charges, saying, “as long as he follows the constitution we don’t care what color he is” (referring to President Barack Obama). Hear her comment and the man’s response.

And when it comes to GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain, Piven seems to think that the successful businessman may merely be a tool to help shield the racism that she thinks is espoused by many of those who oppose Obama.

MRC.tv’s Stephen Gutowski describes the odd compliment that Piven gave to the Tea Party later on in the speech (i.e. “authentic movement”).

When pressed by a student, as you can see at the end of that video, Piven back tracks and says that she doesn’t believe the entire Tea Party is racist or that race is their only motivation. That reversal in tone from earlier in her speech took an even sharper turn at the end of the night. So much so that she ended her remarks with a compliment for the Tea Party.

Marxists March Against the Rich (Repubs) no Dems allowed - Part 1

Noon.October 11, 2011. 59th St and 5th Ave, A Marxist Lead March up 5th Avenues to the homes of the wealthy. The belligerents held banners and signs that represented ACORN, The Workers Party, Teamsters Unions, CUNY and the Socialist Party .

BTW- there is brief nudity by one participant from 4:14 to 4:32 (if you want to skip past this)

This was a protest a against Financial Seems only the Repubs are being accused of being greedy. Democrats Billionaires are the Good-Guys so they were not included. Decided to ask 4 different reporters (from MSM Networks) if they were aware of who had been left off this list. Alternately they played dumb or insisted that Murdoch was on the list and therefore my claim was incorrect. And a network cameraman informed me it was okay for Bloomberg to be left of the list, because this was for the VERY rich... (?)

This march means more overtime for the police and obviously there had to be less police in their neighborhood precincts as there was a large contingent that had to walk the marchers from 59th to 95th street. Before the march, there was lots of MSM media eagerly interviewing the 'average' folk who came out for this rally. The unwashed mob from Zuccotti seems to be missing in the UES march.

Part 2 will be a bit of the march. Never expected much to happen at the homes of these 'greedy' Billionaires, so after Murdoch's residences, I left...

DO AMERICANS KNOW MORE ABOUT RELIGIOUS FREEDOM OR AMERICAN IDOL

DO AMERICANS KNOW MORE ABOUT RELIGIOUS FREEDOM OR AMERICAN IDOL?

What is your reaction to American's knowledge of religious freedom, as opposed to American Idol?

Among the big news stories this week (27 May 2012) were two very different issues:

More than 40 different Catholic organizations filed a lawsuit against the federal government over Obamacare’s contraception mandate.

Who would win the latest competition and be crowned the 11th “American Idol.”

So, we have the issue of religious freedom — a cornerstone of our nation and something many people believe is worth fighting and dying over – versus a 13-week televised singing competition.

Which do you think Americans will know more about? Considering the fact that almost 24 percent of the adults in this country are Catholic, you might expect at least some of them to know about the legal action taken by their church to protect their right to practice their faith without government direction or interference. Then again, maybe not.

How to Create a Job: Creating Value, Not Just Work

Continue the discussion at http://www.facebook.com/economicfreedom.

With unemployment still above 9 percent, Americans are searching for answers that will lead to quality, lasting jobs. Past failures of jobs programs show that addressing the symptom instead of the disease has yet to lead to real job growth. Instead of talking about jobs programs, what needs to be discussed is how to provide the right environment for growth: economic freedom.

Forget Bain — Obama’s public-equity record is the real scandal

Obama's Public "Investment" Failures

"Since taking office, Obama has invested billions of taxpayer dollars in private businesses, including as part of his stimulus spending bill. Many of those investments have turned out to be unmitigated disasters — leaving in their wake bankruptcies, layoffs, criminal investigations and taxpayers on the hook for billions."

"Amazingly, Obama has declared that all the projects received funding “based solely on their merits.” But as Hoover Institution scholar Peter Schweizer reported in his book, “Throw Them All Out,” fully 71 percent of the Obama Energy Department’s grants and loans went to “individuals who were bundlers, members of Obama’s National Finance Committee, or large donors to the Democratic Party.” Collectively, these Obama cronies raised $457,834 for his campaign, and they were in turn approved for grants or loans of nearly $11.35 billion. Obama said this week it’s not the president’s job “to make a lot of money for investors.” Well, he sure seems to have made a lot of (taxpayer) money for investors in his political machine.

All that cronyism and corruption is catching up with the administration. According to Politico, “The Energy Department’s inspector general has launched more than 100 criminal investigations” related to the department’s green-energy programs."

Economic Freedom

How has the United States gotten to be one of the most prominent countries in the world? In addition to our civil liberties, Americans have always enjoyed economic freedom — it’s this freedom which has made us the richest, most advanced society on the planet.

Yet America’s economic freedom is actually on the decline these days. And as our international competitors learn and embrace American-style economic freedom, they are quickly passing us by. So how valuable is economic freedom? Let’s have a look:

This is Part II in an ongoing series from EconomicFreedom.org. In case you missed Part I — a video on economic freedom’s impact on quality of life — you can find it after the jump.

‘THE REASON IS RELIGION’: MUSLIM SOLDIER CLAIMS HIS ISLAMIC FAITH WAS THE REASON FOR FT. HOOD BOMB PLOT

Abdo was also heard telling his mother that “it’s all true“ and ”the reason is religion. There is no other reason.” He says what he did was selfless because he was trying to avenge the United States’ wrongful treatment of people he considers his family, and that he used every resource he had “to make things as right as possible.”

‘REAL NEWS FROM THE BLAZE:’ EGYPTIANS HEAD TO THE POLLS

What positive and negative aspects do you anticipate as Egyptians vote?

‘REAL NEWS FROM THE BLAZE:’ CONGRESS HEADS FOR THE FISCAL CLIFF

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released a new study Tuesday reporting that the economy will shrink 1.3 percent in the first half of next year if the government is allowed to fall off the so-called “fiscal cliff” on January 1: allowing Bush-era tax cuts to expire and sheduled round of automatic spending cuts. Republican House Speaker John Boehner has been vocal in recent weeks begging Democrats to come to the table to tackle the debt ceiling part of the problem now rather than after the election in November. Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has been cold on that idea though, reinforcing Tuesday that Senate Democrats will not even consider extending the tax cuts until after the fall elections. The Washington Examiner reports on Reid’s confusing response to Republicans interested in moving forward on dealing with the fiscal cliff:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., wrote to Republicans Tuesday, accusing them of caring only about “tax breaks for multimillionaires.”

Reid didn’t directly address the need for the tax cuts, but ripped Republicans for refusing to consider a deficit-cutting plan that would increase taxes in addition to further slashing spending.

“Unfortunately, it appears the that the Republicans’ blind adherence to Tea Party extremism is making it impossible to reach this sort of balanced agreement before the election,” Reid wrote.

On “Real News” Wednesday, the panel was joined by James Otteson of Yeshiva University to discuss how dire the situation is regarding the fiscal cliff, and what can be done on Capitol Hill to deal with the situation.
