Embassy guard accuses Obama of doing deals with terrorists

Embassy guard accuses Obama of doing deals with terrorists

Rashid Razaq

A SENIOR security officer at the US embassy in London is being investigated after accusing Barack Obama of brokering secret deals with terrorists.

Joe Hubbard, a security supervisor who is in charge of patrolling the Grosvenor Square building, claims the President-elect secured backing from terrorist organisations, including Hamas and Colombian guerrilla group FARC, in return for changing US policy.

In a vitriolic tirade in an online blog, Mr Hubbard, an American, accuses Obama of having a hidden Muslim agenda and claims his election campaign was funded by anonymous Middle Eastern contributions from countries which "pose a hostile threat" to America.

He accuses Obama of conducting covert meetings with Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, North Korea dictator Kim Jong-il and Libya's Muammar al Gaddafi.

The accusations will come as a massive embarrassment to the US ambassador to London, Robert Tuttle. Mr Hubbard would share responsibility for safeguarding President Obama when he visits the embassy during a trip to London.

The security guard heads a number of teams patrolling the heavily fortified building. His team would conduct searches of visitors but does not carry firearms.

Mr Hubbard writes on his blog: "Obama has been praised by just about every anti-American dictator in the world. The real question of concern... is what promises have Obama's camp given in return? Agents representing Obama have met with these leaders/groups and promised changes in US foreign policy."

Mr Hubbard accuses the president-elect of supporting "extremist" Arab and left-wing groups in the US, planning to force schools to teach the Koran instead of the Bible and pursuing unjust pro-black policies.

Describing himself as an expert in counter-terrorism and hand-to-hand combat, Mr Hubbard reveals, on his website, that his job entails "protecting American dignitaries" ....

This is what we can expect in the future, folks.
Criticize "the Dear Leader" and get hauled in for investigation, re-education, or perhaps worse.

If you criticize Bush, however, they'll give you an "Exemplary Comrade" medal.

Yep... and we have the likes of media pundits like Tom Brokaw musing, "Gee... we really don't know who Obama is."

Thanks MSM for nothing.

Of course did we expect anything different?

So, instead of investigating Obama’s potential ties to the terror group . . . they investigate the guy making the accusations.

Yup, welcome to Obama’s World.

On the other hand, most British media, liberal or conservative, endorsed Obama, mostly on the grounds that he is more articulate and look better educated.

Isn't it the truth! The filthy, moral-less Obamites will persecute anyone.

Poor Joe the Plummer? Now we hear he was “investigated” by no less than 18 various Ohio governmental agencies! A portent of things to come? Indeed!

Seems to me during the Bush years, the mantra was always ...

While we have no proof or direct evidence, the gravity of the charges is so severe......we must investigate

Now it will be at the very least 4 years of hanging the messenger.

His supporters suffer from bad case of groupie mentality. Petty blind personality cult, usually present among rock star fans.

How mindless and blind these political groupies can be is well demonstrated in S. Korea, by Roh Muhyun(former anti-American president) groupies.

That second point seems a little odd to me. Our public schools don't teach the Bible as it is, and with all his obvious problems I don't think Obama is that concerned about the Koran.

Well, if this story isn’t a complete lie from the start, the guy making the accusations is pretty dumb.

I’m willing to believe that half or maybe even 3/4 of the accusations have some basis in fact. but it is incredibly foolish to make such claims AFTER the election in a manner that will destroy your career and your boss’s career.

This guy ‘ain’t a security pro’ even if he has the job and accurate intel.

"Our messiah trying to work tirelessly day and night in order to save American and the whole world, but these rightwing f****** are obstructing at every possible turn. This cannot stand" -- from the mind of Obamanoid.

The whole story line would have a tone of N. Korean propaganda on Kim Jong-il.

Perhaps he was referring to the fact that public schools do not teach Bible but they could introduce Koran as reading material for assignment and discussion, while Bible would never be on the list.

There will be many more like Rashid, volunteering themselves for Obama Truth Squad.

I heard this used to happen when communists took over a town or city. Suddenly from nowhere, came out these fanatic enraged folks, volunteering to draw blood, going around and round up people and plunging bamboo spear through them. It may not be on the same intensity but in the same 'spirit.'

While interestng, I found the story lacking key details. Since the fellow is not an employee of the State Dept., is he American or British? (Might explain the reference to teaching the Koran in schools....) What are the hiring standards at Pedrus? The lead says he is a “senior security supervisor”, but the further you read, the more junior he gets; first just a “supervisor”, then “responsible for security.”

BOTH OBAMA AND OSAMA HAVE
FRIENDS WHO WANTED TO BOMB FORT DIX

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
March 6, 1970: "three members of the Weather Underground accidentally killed themselves in a Manhattan townhouse while attempting to build a powerful bomb they had intended to plant at a social dance in Fort Dix, New Jersey -- an event that was to be attended by U.S. Army soldiers. Hundreds of lives could have been lost had the plot been successfully executed."
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6808

"The bomb was intended to be planted at a non-commissioned officer's dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
The bomb was packed with nails to inflict maximum casualties upon detonation."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weatherman_(organization)#Chronology_of_events

2007 Fort Dix attack plot

A group of six radical Islamist[1] men, allegedly plotting to stage an attack on the Fort Dix military base in New Jersey, United States, were arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on May 7, 2007. They were subsequently charged with planning an attack against U.S. soldiers. The alleged aim of the six men was said to be to "kill as many soldiers as possible".[2] Their trial began on October 20, 2008. [3]

Opening arguments were presented on October 20, 2008.
Assistant U.S. Attorney William Fitzpatrick said the defendants were inspired by jihad saying "Their motive was to defend Islam. Their inspiration was Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.

Based on the following excerpts, I would say that he is an American.

It appears I need to correct your thinking here.

Do you have any idea who handles 'security' at our embassies abroad? The State Department. These guys are not light weights that we think of as security guards here in the states.

These guys are the law enforcement branch of the State Department known as Diplomatic Security. Ever hear the term DSS Agent? (And no I'm not talking about a computer virus). These guys are the FBI and Secret Service wing of our State Department, they are even over the Marine detachment that serves in our embassies. They are also involved in counter intelligence. I know this: my son-in-law is one of those agents serving overseas in an embassy security detail. And that's just scrapping the bottom of the barrel as to what he actually does, much of it is top secret. Each and every single one of these agents hold a top level security clearance, only the President himself is any higher, did you know that? No, I didn't think so.

They are not, I repeat, Not run of the mill 'security guards'. I have no doubt this man has the intel to back up what he is saying. And America should be afraid, very afraid. The idiots who voted for Obama are going to rue the day they ever did.

The man is in the UK, so why is he garning so much scrutiny. Yes, he’s an American, and guarding the embassy, but he still has free speech...Obama hasn’t been inaugerated yet, and so he is just the Pres-elect, and when you can’t voice your opinion that’s a violation of the Constitution. Oh, I forgot, they want to stop all voices of dissent.

So why doesn’t Obama open up all those donations from internet to prove the guy wrong? Oh yeah, they disabled the tracking device, so gift cards could be used that were untraceable. I heard on FR that Obama sent someone to meet with Hamas right after the election??

Yes they could use that book as a reading assignment. Oh, they already do that I believe in some colleges. I remember a news blast about that somewhere in U.S. a couple of years ago.

I follow your logic.From my reading,I believe O is a commited marxist/atheist.Most likely(imo)he doesn’t give a rats a@@ about christianity or islam.The state is his religon.However-i can see BO pushing islamic culture in schools as a means to further undermine christianity and consequently our society.I recall reading about a school in Ca that had the students dress in muslim garb-go through the prayer rituals-all in the name of “cultural enrichment”.Combine that with the anti-western(revisionist)history taught in schools today.All part of the marxist playbook.Social engineering-destroy a society from the inside.For more info search Herbert Marcuse,Antonio Gramsci,The Frankfurt School.Tom:)

Do you remember that UNC in Chapel Hill, NC required the entering freshman class to have read the Koran a couple of years back? I don’t know how it is now as I try never to think of Chapel Hill. Even an outcry from the public didn’t stop that—it was “to create understanding”. I can’t think of any public school that requires students to have read the Bible.
