FBI Whistleblower and Teacher Expose Islamic Gülen Movement Infiltrating U.S.

The imam, Fethullah Gülen, came to the United States in 1999 due to cited health problems and has stayed in the United States after gaining his visa with help from former CIA officials. The FBI previously resisted granting permanent residency status to Gülen. According to leaked cables, parts of the U.S. government believe that Gülen “is a ‘radical Islamist’ whose moderate message cloaks a more sinister and radical agenda.” ----

Gülen-inspired schools are the largest charter network in the U.S. and receive approximately $150 million a year in taxpayer money. There are about 130 of these charter schools in 26 states where the majority of the teachers are from Turkey, as well as many of the contracts for construction and operation have gone to Turkish businesses. Those actions have raised red flags for the U.S. government.

In the United States, many of the Gülen schools have long waiting lists. But that comes at a price for our American teachers:

“Our tax dollars are paying for them to come over here and take our jobs,” said Mary Addi, a teacher. “They want to give you the impression that they’re just hard-working guys over here to try and educate our kids, because American teachers are just too stupid.”

According to Addi, those Turkish teachers’ visa applicants oddly include English teachers. Gülen brings in foreign teachers and then takes a cut of their salary. She learned this after marrying a Turkish teacher. She said that after he was paid. He’d cash the check and return 40% of his salary back to the school for a secret fund used by the movement.

" Gülen-inspired schools are the largest charter network in the U.S. and receive approximately $150 million a year in taxpayer money."

If these funds are federal funds then they are constitutionally indefensible. This is because, with the exception of military training schools justifiable under Congress's constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, the states have never delegated to the feds, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for schooling purposes, the states uniquely having the 10th Amendment power to make policy for intrastate schools.

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Somali Americans are American citizens and residents born in, or with ancestors from Somalia.

The first Somalis to arrive in the United States were sailors who came in the 1920s and settled in New York.[2] In the late 1970s, more Somali immigrants followed suit. However, it was not until the 1990s when the Somali Civil War broke out that the majority of Somalis first arrived in the US.

The Somali community in the United States is the seventh largest in the world behind those of Ethiopia, Yemen, Kenya, Djibouti, the Middle East, the United Kingdom and Canada, respectively.

Local sociologists have dubbed the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul as the Somali capitol of the United States, boasting a Somali population of 60,000 persons. Other sub-Saharan immigrants such as Ethiopians are also settling in the region mostly in Minnesota and the Kansas City area. Arabic settlement has increased substantially in some Kansas counties since the 2000 Census.

The heaviest concentrations of Somalis in the US are found in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and Saint Paul), followed by Washington, DC; Columbus, Ohio; New York City; Buffalo, New York; Kansas City; San Diego; San Francisco; Seattle metro areas.

Arizona has seen notable Somali migration in recent years, mostly to Phoenix (especially the suburb of Glendale) and Tucson. Other states with significant Somali communities include Ohio, California, Georgia, Washington, Texas, Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia, Illinois, Colorado and Florida.
