While America Sleeps
March 3, 2010

Most Americans think we’re in Iraq and Afghanistan to ensure the bad guys remain there and away from our shores. Not so.

While we’ve been busy working, taking care of the kids and myriad other things, we became complacent and thought our government was advocating on our behalf. It isn’t.

We fell down on the job of being its watchdog. That’s also a main role of journalism - which is placing the American people at risk with its incompetence.

Why do mainstream media look to the Council on Arab Islamic Relations to address any possible terrorist activity? CAIR funneled $12.4 million to Hamas through the Holy Land Foundation charity and was an unindicted co-conspirator in the case. The recently released book "Muslim Mafia,” alleges CAIR is running an influence operation against members of key homeland security committees on Capitol Hill and planting Islamist spies in congressional offices. CAIR uses its knowledge of our legal system against us and uses every opportunity to litigate, conducting a cultural jihad of incrementalism. The names Tyson Foods and Abercrombie and Fitch are two of the most recently sued companies ordered to make "accommodations” for Muslim workers.

On Christmas Day, we learned our intelligence agencies were again asleep at the wheel with Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab’s airline terrorism attempt. We must wake up and fast.

While we slept securely in our beds, 35 Terror Training Camps formed inside our country. That, combined with the Islamic Terror Cell Network, ensure more than adequate coverage of the United States.

Christian Action Network investigated these camps to determine their locations. International terrorist Sheik Mubarak Gilani, the leader of Muslims of America who heads the camps, even has a street named in his honor at the 40-acre camp in Red House, Va. Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and then beheaded after attempting to arrange an interview with him.

A startling video recently surfaced from the camp in Hancock, NY, Islamberg, showing Muslim women training in throat-slitting techniques.

Other skills being taught include: murdering guards, poisoning water supplies, scaling tall buildings, explosives, arson and fire bombings, automatic weapons use, kidnapping and carjacking. Five Muslim soldiers at Fort Jackson, SC are under investigation for allegedly plotting to poison water and food supplies; yet Americans can’t seem to get any straight answers on this incident. They were part of "Lima 09,” a program launched in 2003 to train Arabic and Farsi speakers. Are the translators here to help us or to kill us? Let’s hope we know something soon.

Most of the participants in the terror camps pledge to donate their welfare checks toward building other compounds throughout America. and the world. The motto the estimated 15,000 Islamic recruits are taught to live by? "Act like you are a friend, then kill him.”

An alert from PoliceOne.com warns of mass slaughter in our schools. "Floor plans for half a dozen schools in Virginia, Texas and New Jersey have been recovered from terrorist hands in Iraq.”

When the FBI notified Colorado authorities of the 101-acre camp in Buena Vista, the governor asked what the agents planned to do about it. "Nothing,” was the answer. The FBI departed, leaving Colorado law enforcement agencies to tackle the issue.

Disturbing evidence was found: blank birth certificates, social security cards, surveillance photos and maps of major electric, gas and telephone lines throughout Colorado, notes on cell phone sites and references to the Warren Air Force Base, two National Guard armories, the Rocky Mountain Arsenal and the United States Air Force Academy, along with targeted assassination papers.

Not only do these camps exist, known terror cells are also here, contributing to thorough coverage of the United States. Beltway Snipers John Muhammad and Lee Malvo are believed to have hidden out in the compounds during their deadly shooting spree. Rarely publicized jailhouse drawings by Malvo included: "JIHAD. ISLAM. UNITE. RISE!” "KILL THEM ALL.”

The Pentagon’s investigative report on the Fort Hood massacre whitewashes the incident and addresses generic radicalism. Politically correct behavior ensured the death of 12 soldiers (and one unborn child); one civilian and injury of 31 others. Despite aberrant behavior, Maj. Nadal Hassan purchased an FNH-57 x 28 weapon, sold with three magazines and known as the "cop killer.” It possesses one of the highest muzzle velocities (almost 2,000 feet per second) available in a handgun. Yet no one identified Hassan as a veritable threat.

High-ranking military officers have become "yes” men. Diversity seems paramount to saving lives, and gun-free-zone universities (Virginia Tech), schools (Columbine) and military bases continue to be "target-rich” environments for those wishing to harm Americans in large numbers. News comes that the Little Rock Recruiting Station shooter Abdulhakim Muhammed claims al-Qaida forced him to carry out his mission. And we still know nothing about the true motivation for Maurice Clemmons’ slaughter of four police officers in Washington state.

More than 2,000 US troops converted to Islam in 1991, according to the World Tribune. That was the year Saudi Arabia began a campaign to support Islamization of US military members by converting as many as possible, paying officers as much as $30,000 to convert. Mosques and prisons are also active and successful recruitment locations. The Investigative Project on Terrorism reports that CAIR is targeting the Washington State prison population.

"The fact that a chaplain who was detained for supposedly stealing classified documents was trained by a group under investigation for terrorism should set off alarms at the highest levels,” said New York Sen. Charles Schumer. In 2008, US Rep. Sue Myrick (R-NC) again called for an investigation into US military and prison chaplains approved by Abdurahman Alamoudi, a convicted terrorist in the radical Muslim Brotherhood.

With the proliferous integration of Sharia Law-believing individuals into the administration, it’s no wonder our security policies are undergoing a "transformational change.” Rashad Hussain, President Barack Obama’s envoy to the Organization of Islamic Conference, has past associations with Muslim Brotherhood-connected entities and admitted to defending University of South Florida professor Sami al-Arian who later pleaded guilty to aiding a terrorist group.

Despite America’s bankruptcy status, Congress recently gave $150 million to the Overseas Private Investment Corporation to provide $150 million to promote education, health care, infrastructure and jobs in the Muslim world. Why? What about us?

America’s space program is being de-funded, and Florida is looking at the loss of 23,000 jobs, and 3,000 – 5,000 projected for Houston this year. However, according to the Orlando Sentinel, Obama told NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden to "find ways to reach out to dominantly Muslim countries” as the administration pushes the space agency to become a tool of international diplomacy. Go figure.

Many people in the current administration feel Sharia Law - the body of Islamic law based on the Koran that calls for the murder of Christians and Jews - is acceptable in America. It’s not and never will be.

In February, New York Cable TV network owner Muzzammil Hassan beheaded his wife. This is the same Sharia Law that is now dictating 90 lashes for a 12-year-old girl in Saudi Arabia for bringing a cell phone to school and two people were crucified when President Obama visited Riyadh. Muslim families continue to carry out honor killings, regardless where they live. There is no effort to assimilate into the country or culture where they move. For example, the United Kingdom now authorizes welfare payments for up to four wives of Muslim immigrants. That gets expensive.

The federal government gave a $150 billion bailout to AIG which owns a subsidiary that promotes Sharia Law. The Thomas More Law Center has filed a federal lawsuit challenging this decision. AIG is helping fund America’s own demise through terrorist acts which will be paid for by monies funneled into Muslim charities that help fund terrorism. Include Citibank, UBS and HSBC financial institutions among those that funnel monies through Sharia Law-compliant investment vehicles. Clearly, our safety and security are at risk. So what can you do about this?

Call your US senators and congressman and write the governor, sheriff, and even state representatives to ensure the Muslims of America are placed on the State Department’s Foreign Terrorist Organization watch list. Demand Congress and your state outlaw any Islamic community, organization or mosque that preaches Jihad waged against America. Stay alert. Find model draft legislation at here.

The Florida Security Council is offering a free movie, "Obsession” to help educate the public. Christian Action Network provides brochures and information about the threat.

Have your city councils, county commissions and state legislatures insist on transparency by adopting the ordinance to prevent funds from being placed into Sharia Law-compliant investment vehicles which AIG, UBS, Citibank and HSBC are utilizing.

American Congress for Truth aims to educate communities about the spread of radical Islam and helps opens chapters for activism to promote citizen awareness, safety and security.
