Hillary’s State Dept. stopped investigation into Orlando shooter’s mosque, deleted records, former DHS says

June 13, 2016 | Carmine Sabia

Hillary Clinton’s State Department stopped an investigation into mosque networks, that included the place where Orlando terrorist Omar Mateen worshipped, because President Obama feared that it unfairly targeted Muslims, according to a retired Department of Homeland Security agent turned whistleblower.

In his book “See Something, Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government’s Submission to Jihad,” agent Philip Haney said that “within a few months, the case drew the ‘concern’ of the State Department and the DHS’s Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Office because the Obama administration believed it unfairly singled out Muslims,”according to WND.

In December, 2015 Haney claimed that the Clinton-led State Department shut down an investigation into several mosques, among them, the one attended San Bernardino terrorist Syed Farook.

On Sunday, Haney told WND that the Florida mosque Mateen attended was also part of that investigation.

In addition to putting a freeze on the investigation the administration deleted much the records related to the case.

“Along with the State Department’s and Department of Homeland Security’s quashing of the case in June 2012, the administration subsequently ordered the deletion of an additional 67 records related to a report on the Institute of Islamic Education,” WND reported.

Still, when Haney heard the name of the mosque on Sunday he knew it sounded familiar.

“This case struck me as very similar to the San Bernardino shooting case,” he told WND. “I suspected that they were both part of a national and international network of organizations.”

He said that after Sunday’s attack he checked out the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce using open-source information and confirmed his suspicions, according to WND.

How many more remain as hubs for radical jihadists?

What we know about the victims

http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/orl...1141?cid=sm_fb

THE LARGEST MASS SHOOTING IN US HISTORY HAPPENED December 29,1890. When 297 Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota were murdered by federal agents & members of the 7th Cavalry who had come to confiscate their firearms “for their own safety and protection”. The slaughter began after the majority of the Sioux had peacefully turned in their firearms. The Calvary began shooting, and managed to wipe out the entire camp. 200 of the 297 victims were women and children.

Wounded Knee was among the first federally backed gun confiscation attempts in United States history. It ended in the senseless murder of 297 people.

The Second Amendment, the right of the people to take up arms in defense of themselves, their families, and property in the face of invading armies or an oppressive government. The Second Amendment was written by people who fled oppressive and tyrannical regimes in Europe, and it refers to the right of American citizens to be armed for defensive purposes, should such tyranny arise in the United States.

Wounded Knee is the prime example of why the Second Amendment exists, and why we should vehemently resist any attempts to infringe on our Rights to Bear Arms. Without the Second Amendment we will be totally stripped of any ability to defend ourselves and our families.

Witness accounts say multiple shooters were in nightclub, claims media isn’t telling everything
June 13, 2016 | Carmine Sabia 

The official story from the FBI and local authorities says that one shooter, Omar Mateen, murdered 49 people and injured an additional 53 on Sunday morning in Orlando at the Pulse gay nightclub.

But rumors have persisted since the massacre that more than one shooter was present.

A post from a man named Cody Agnew told the story of a victim who claims to have seen multiple attackers, according to Agnew.



Agnew doesn’t name the woman but it appears to be Lisa Morales Delgado, who was shot 12 times and said she saw three shooters. Agnew has been making prayer requests for her on social media.

A link to his original post shows that it has been deleted but screenshots still exist and have gone viral.

That story jibes with what another witness said he overheard the gunman say. “(Mateen) called somebody else that he knew and he mentioned that he was the fourth shooter and there was three others,” the witness told ABC’s 20/20.

Officials are still investigating but said there is no indication Mateen had any accomplices prior to the attack.

Some are asking, is this a fog of war-type recollection or is there something more to it?

Are they trying to prevent a panic ? Or something more sinister ?

.......

FBI called off their investigation because they thought his coworkers were simply "racist".

Owen Jones: ‘Why I walked off Sky News over Orlando debate’

Media must accept the US mass shooting was both a terrorist and a homophobic assault

about 7 hours ago

Orlando was both a terrorist attack and a homophobic attack on LGBT people.

It was both the worst mass shooting in US history, and the worst targetted mass killing of LGBT people in the Western world since the Holocaust.

It is possible for an atrocity to be more than one thing at the same time. You are not compelled to select one option or the other.

Life - with both its horrors and its joys - is incredibly complicated, and we have a rich language able to capture its complexities.

I am reluctant to dwell too much on my appearance on Sky News last night, because this isn’t about me, so let’s just use it as a case study.

In sum, I walked off in disgust during a discussion about the massacre: it was an instinctive reaction to an unpleasant and untenable situation.

The presenter continually and repeatedly refused to accept that this was an attack on LGBT people.

This was an attack “against human beings”, he said, and “the freedom of all people to try to enjoy themselves”.

He not only refused to accept it as an attack on LGBT people, but was increasingly agitated that I - as a gay man - would claim it as such.

If a terrorist with a track record of expressing hatred of and disgust at Jewish people had walked into a synagogue and murdered 50 Jewish people, we would rightly describe it as both terrorism and an anti-Semitic attack.

If a Jewish guest on television had tried to describe it as such, it would be disgraceful if they were not only contradicted, but shouted down as they did so. But this is what happened on Sky News, with a gay man talking about the mass murder of LGBT people.

This isn’t about LGBT people taking ownership of the pain and anguish.

People of all sexual orientations have wept over this massacre, and all communities should unite in grief. It is highly likely that straight people died in the atrocity.

Pub attack

When the neo-Nazi terrorist David Copeland detonated a nail bomb in the Admiral Duncan gay pub in 1999, one of the fatalities was a straight pregnant woman, having a drink with her husband and her gay friends.

LGBT people are part of the wider community, and LGBT people and their straight friends party together in LGBT venues.

But this was a deliberate attack on an LGBT venue and LGBT people.

According to Omar Mateen’s father, the reportedly Islamic State-supporting terrorist had expressed revulsion at the sight of two men kissing. His co-workers have described his anti-gay comments.

Omar Mateen could have chosen many clubs, full of people laughing and living, but he chose an LGBT venue.

This was homophobia as well as terrorism. It is not enough to simply condemn violence: we have to understand what it is and why it happened.

It wasn’t only Sky News at fault. In the New York Times’s original reporting, it didn’t even point out that a gay club had been targetted.

The Daily Mail didn’t bother to put the atrocity - the worst terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11 - on its front page, instead opting to stir up xenophobia over Turkish immigrants and publicising an offer of “free pearl and white sapphire earrings”.

This is erasure of LGBT people - pure and simple - after their community was horrifically targetted.

Different experiences

LGBT people are varied, and have different experiences: the life experiences of a young working-class gay black woman and a gay white male multi-millionaire CEO are very different.

But we all grow up in a society that still treats us as if we are inferior: we have all repeatedly encountered homophobic abuse, the stress of coming out repeatedly, or the fear of holding hands with a partner in public.

To imagine LGBT people who may have endured distress and internalised prejudice - just because of who they are - spending their last moments in terror as a homophobic terrorist hunted them down is just unbearable.

Today, the “we only care about LGBT rights if Muslims are involved” brigade are out in force.

As a gay man, I am proud to live in a city represented by a Muslim mayor who has faced death threats for supporting and voting for LGBT people to have the same rights as everybody else.

The bigots must not be allowed to hijack this atrocity.

Tonight at 7pm in Old Compton Street - in the heart of London’s LGBT community - LGBT people and straight people will link arms in memory of what happened in Orlando.

Let it be a show of solidarity - and defiance against those who hate.

We are now blaming Christians for an act of terrorism - jihad on American soil >

'Workplace violence' incident with hostage ends after police kill suspect at Texas Walmart
Kolten Parker | June 14, 2016

Police killed a man who took at least one hostage inside an Amarillo Walmart Tuesday that sparked evacuations of the store and caught the attention of a nation still reeling from the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. Police, calling the situation a "workplace violence" incident, confirmed that both the suspect, identified by police as Mohammad Moghaddam, 54, and hostage are store employees and said no other injuries were reported.

Moghaddam entered the store just after 11 a.m. and fired multiple shots, but no one is believed to have been hit.

Law enforcement agencies responded to the Walmart at Interstate 27 and Georgia Street around 11:15 a.m. for "an active shooter incident," the City of Amarillo's Twitter account said.

Officers went inside the Walmart to make contact with the suspect and ensure no other individuals are inside. Police shot the suspect inside the store, but further details regarding the incident weren't immediately available. Police evacuated shoppers out of the west side of the building and asked the public to stay away from the area. Walmart employees from the store are being kept on scene to answer questions from police.

A live stream from the parking lot of the Walmart from the ABC-7 Amarillo station shows dozens of police and emergency vehicles outside. The incident comes on the heels of the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history that left 49 victims and a shooter dead at an Orlando nightclub on Sunday.

Amarillo is the largest city in the Texas Panhandle, with the 14th largest population in the state. It is located about 350 miles northwest of Dallas.

More details will be added to this developing story as they become available.

News just leaked out about Democrat Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton that she doesn’t want you to know. We’re now learning about her close connection to the Islamic terrorist in Orlando Florida, Omar Mateen. While serving in the Obama administration, Hillary Clinton worked closely with the President to defend Islamists from critics, and it just back fired.








Recently retired Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agent Philip Haney reports that the mosque Mateen attended several times every week is the same mosque protected by Hillary’s State Department after the Islamic terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California by Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik.

Haney’s case on the mosque drew concern from Hillary’s State Department and the DHS’s Civil Rights and Liberties Office because they believed it unfairly singled out Muslims. His report was heavily edited and scrubbed by the State Department, and no action was taken to shut down the mosque:

Read more: http://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/b...xzz4BbZCjkuCAs a member of one of the National Targeting Center’s advanced units, Haney helped develop a case in 2011 on a worldwide Islamic movement known as Tablighi Jamaat, as he recounts in his new book “See Something, Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government’s Submission to Jihad.” Within a few months, the case drew the “concern” of the State Department and the DHS’s Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Office because the Obama administration believed it unfairly singled out Muslims. The intelligence, however, had been used to connect members of the movement to several terrorist organizations and financing at the highest levels, including for Hamas and al-Qaida.

In the immediate aftermath of the Orlando massacre, Haney has found that the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce, Florida, is part of a network in the United States that originated in the Indian subcontinent


The Fort Pierce mosque’s website features a link that demonstrates its relationship to the Shariah Board of America, a division of the Rahmat-e-Alam Foundation, which operates the Darul Uloom Chicago madrassa.

The madrassa is closely affiliated with the Institute of Islamic Education, which was a major component of Haney’s Tablighi Jamaat case.

Along with the State Department’s and Department of Homeland Security’s quashing of the case in June 2012, the administration subsequently ordered the deletion of an additional 67 records related to a report on the Institute of Islamic Education.

Haney explained that this kind of information comprises the “dots” that counter-terrorism analysts connect to form cases that are used to identify potential terrorist threats.

“This case struck me as very similar to the San Bernardino shooting case,” Haney told WND on Sunday. “I suspected that they were both part of a national and international network of organizations.”

He said that using open-source information, beginning with the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce, he discovered Sunday afternoon that his initial suspicions were correct.

“It’s exactly how I would have approached a case if I was still active duty,” he said.

“The FBI had opened cases twice on him, and yet they found no evidence to charge him,” Haney pointed out.

“It means they didn’t go through the same basic, analytical process that I went through over a three- or four-hour period in which I was able to link the mosque to my previous cases.”

The Orlando Sentinel reported the FBI interviewed Mateen three times for having alleged terrorist ties. He came to the FBI’s attention in 2013 after he made inflammatory remarks to co-workers, but the investigation was closed.

In 2014, he was interviewed again for making contact with a suicide bomber.

Another member of the Fort Pierce mosque, 22-year-old Moner Mohammad Abusalha, blew himself up in an attack in Syria in 2014 with an explosives-laden truck.

Haney reports that Obama’s FBI had Mateen on their radar at least twice, but both times the investigation was shut down.

This means Hillary Clinton’s State Department is directly responsible for not flagging Mateen and getting Islamic terrorists off the streets. This is outrageous, and it should disqualify Hillary Clinton from being President of the Untied States.
