When Omar met Erdogan: The unearthed report from their 2017 meeting

About a year and a half ago, on Sept. 18, 2017, a relatively unknown Minnesota state representative flew to New York City to hold a closed-door meeting with the president of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who was in town for the 72nd U.N. General Assembly. This meeting of now-Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., with Mr. Erdogan, the despotic ruler of Turkey, went almost entirely unreported, as it was not open to the press and Omar was not a high-profile figure. Since then, photos of the meeting surfaced on social media, but it largely appeared that there was no report detailing what happened during the hour-long meeting.

But one local Minnesota paper that covers the Somali community did receive access to the Erdogan-Omar meeting. That publication is the relatively obscure Tusmo Times, a Somali paper that covers the Twin Cities metro area. Abdirahman Mukhtar, its founder and editor, wrote a story in the Somali language discussing the meeting. For reasons unknown, the piece has since been deleted by the Tusmo Times. However, a copy of the report was obtained from archive.org’s Wayback Machine and translated by One Hour Translate.

Cont: The story makes clear, through photos and text, that Omar led the Minnesota-based Somali delegation (which included her non-politician husband, who is seen next to her in photos) that met with Erdogan. This is quite remarkable, given that Omar was then a mere Minnesota state representative, meeting face to face with the leader of an 80-million-person nation with one of the most powerful militaries in the world. Speaking to the Tusmo Times, Omar said, according to the translation, that she met with Erdogan for about an hour and that the two discussed issues involving Omar’s native Somalia and issues for Somalis in Minnesota. She thanked Erdogan for Turkey’s support for the Rohingya people in Myanmar. The two also discussed investment and trade between Turkey and Somalia. The meeting ended with Erdogan asking Omar to voice her support for Turkey. The report concludes by adding that Omar not only met with Erdogan, but also with the Turkish prime minister and other senior Turkish officials. While it’s not particularly shocking that Omar remains invested in the success of her native country, the Minnesota representative has been consistently sowing doubt about whether U.S. Jews as a whole can fairly represent American interests. She has taken to using anti-Semitic tropes in maintaining that support for Israel in the Jewish community is an example of having dual loyalties. Of course, support for Israel, the only liberal democratic country in the Middle East, is not remotely comparable to her continuing support for the rogue dictatorships in Turkey and Somalia. The day the story was posted, Omar tweeted about her meeting with Erdogan, linking to the now-deleted Tusmo Times piece. Xildhibaan Ilhan Omar iyo Madaxweyne Recep Erdoğan oo magaalada New York ku kulmay – https://t.co/M1SiigVw6f — Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) September 19, 2017 When news of the meeting surfaced, she immediately received fierce blowback on several social media platforms for propping up Erdogan. “Did you ask Erdogan about the jailed journalists?” wrote one respondent on her Facebook page. “How about the 100 thousand innocent people he jailed in Turkey.” “Did you discuss the atrocities of the Armenian Genocide and his refusal to recognize them?” said another individual. “What the hell is wrong with you?? He’s a DICTATOR,” another replied. It remains unclear when the article was deleted from the Tusmo Times, but other stories from around the same time remain on the publication’s website, so it doesn’t appear that the disappearance of the September 2017 article involves a storage issue. The Erdogan-Omar meeting came on the heels of a major incident in Washington, D.C. involving the Turkish delegation. A few months earlier, Erdogan appeared to order his bodyguards to brutally attack protesters outside a Turkish diplomatic compound in the U.S. capital. A similar incident occurred in New York just days after the Omar-Erdogan meeting, when Erdogan’s security detail roughed up demonstrators protesting Erdogan’s crimes against the Kurds. The Erdogan-Omar meeting occurred one year following a supposed failed coup attempt against Erdogan. Erdogan later weaponized the reported coup attempt to imprison thousands of academics, journalists, students, and democracy activists. Over the course of Erdogan’s presidency, Turkey has abandoned its secular founding and has transitioned into an aspiring Islamist theocracy that supports terrorist groups throughout the Middle East and greater Islamic world. Although Rep. Omar has not spoken out much about the politics of her homeland, Somalia remains a ruthless dictatorship that abuses the rights of its citizens. Omar, however, continues to endorse candidates for president there, as if the largely failed state is representative of a liberal democracy. Rep. Omar published an op-ed in the Washington Post Sunday attempting to clear up her controversial foreign policy views, proclaiming herself a champion of international human rights. She wrote that U.S. foreign policy must “center human rights, justice and peace as the pillars of America’s engagement in the world,” yet noticeably said nothing about the radicalism of Erdogan and other Islamist regimes throughout the world. One month after her meeting with Erdogan, Omar thanked Turkey for delivering aid to Somalia after a series of bombings in Mogadishu. Turkey airlifts injured Somalis from Saturday's attack. This is the most humane way anyone can show they #standwithMogadishu https://t.co/HvIbJv0jGD — Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) October 18, 2017 Erdogan’s administration has continuously bailed out the corrupt dictatorship in Somalia, providing its leadership with military support, economic aid, and even food rations when necessary. In late 2017, Turkey opened up a large military base in Somalia and has since given weapons and aid to Somali soldiers. --- And now she sits on the House Foreign Relations Committee coincidentally ... this is a preplanned setup most likely through CAIR or a similar muslim group and such a meeting could only be accomplished and set in motion by other, as yet, unknown US power brokers (likely Democrats - VJ and Obama come to mind). With US national (or nationalized and foreign born) muslims attending such vey high level meetings, there is something in the works that will lead to the Islamification forced or otherwise of the US. The Democrat party having turned viciously anti-Jew, anti-Israel and strongly pro muslim is the beginning of the PLAN.

“Who she represents”...well, Obama is linked directly to Erdogan from the first day of Obama’s Presidency (the forst foreign leader he warmly called in Jan. of 2009 was his ally PM Erdogan of Turkey, and “neo-Ottoman-Caliphate” Erdogan is linked directly to the Muslim Brotherhood, and, the US Dem Muslims currently in office are part of the same Muslim Brotherhood network, all using the US Dem Party and Western socialist govts. as Trojan Horse venues for the advancement of the greatest Jihad in World History. Erdogan works directly with Dem Operatives to subvert the US cultural and political dynamics. The Dem Socialist/Marxist/Nazi allied to the Jihad is the greatest threat to civilization in world history and is not recognized as such. The Muslim Brotherhood’s US political party, the US Council of Muslim Orgs., formed in Chicago in March of 2014 remains rampantly opertive and totally unrecognized in US media as the major cultural/political force operative in the US today regarding full Islamisation of the US as its ultimate goal...Gaffney has followed the USCMO since its origin..http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/2014/05/19/genesis-of-the-us-council-of-muslim-organizations-muslim-brotherhood-political-party/

The USCMO, unrecognized as the central alliance with the Dems and the Muslim Brotherhood is the big story missing from all political/cultural discourse, and has been so since March of 2009. The original historic model of the WWII Nazi/Muslim Brotherhood alliance has simply evolved to its ubiquitous presence in all Western industrialized countries today and extends from there worldwide.

Obama is meeting with all Dem freshmen Congresspersons and likely the purpose is to advance and orient the purposes of Islam in allying with Western political and cultural alliances, namely the US Dem Party in the US as concerns Omar. Omar may be the spearpoint of the Islamic/Democrat thrust carrying on the milestone successes of Obama.

This creepy woman has an agenda no one could ever imagine.
Omar has been very busy-----setting up her world-wide terrorist connections.

Here she is, just a few weeks after her election to Minnesota's state legislature.
The sap-happy Omar is chatting up then-Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, a favorite for re-election.
He reportedly invited her---a state legislator--- to appear beside him prior to the Somali election taking place.

The Minn legislator Endorsed Somalia’s New President. Four Days Later, Omar’s BIL Had a Powerful Job in the Somali Administration.

What was the deal she made with the corrupt-ridden Somali govt? Are the violent Somalians she once fled,
privy to US security reports from Omar's current position on the House Foreign Affairs Committee? Duh.

==================================

A foray into foreign politics, should have disqualified her from getting US security clearance.
How did she get US security clearance in Congress? Did she falsify govt documents?

Free Beacon Report – Ilhan Omar Holding Secret Fundraisers With Groups Tied To Islamic Terror…
Brand new report just published by Free Beacon 90 minutes ago
Posted by Kane on March 22, 2019

Free Beacon Report----Democratic freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (Democrat--Minn.) has been holding a series of secret fundraisers with groups that have been tied to the support of terrorism, appearances that have been closed to the press and hidden from public view. The content of these speeches, given to predominately Muslim audiences, remains unknown, prompting some of Omar’s critics to express concern about the type of rhetoric she is using before these paying audiences, particularly in light of the lawmaker’s repeated use of anti-Semitic tropes in public.

Omar recently spoke in Florida at a private event hosted by Islamic Relief, a charity organization long said to have deep ties to groups that advocate terrorism against Israel. Over the weekend, she will appear at another private event in California that is hosted by CAIR PAC, a political action committee affiliated with the Council on American Islamic Relations, a group that was named co-conspirator in a massive terror-funding incident.

Omar’s appearance at these closed-door forums is raising eyebrows due to her repeated and unapologetic public use of anti-Semitic stereotypes accusing Jewish people of controlling foreign policy and politics. With Omar’s popularity skyrocketing on the anti-Israel left, it appears her rhetoric is translating into fundraising prowess.

It remains unclear what Omar has told these audiences in her private talks. Free Beacon attempts to obtain video of past events were unsuccessful, and multiple local news and television outlets in Tampa where Omar spoke to Islamic Relief last month, confirmed they were unable to gain access to the closed door event. Islamic Relief has come under congressional investigation for what lawmakers have described as its efforts to provide assistance to terrorist group such as Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. The charity has been banned by some countries as a result of these ties.

In 2017, Congress sought to ban taxpayer funds from reaching the charity due to these terror links.

On Sunday, Omar will hold another meet and greet in Irvine, Calif., for CAIR PAC. Those wishing to hear Omar speak are being asked to donate anywhere from $50 to $250 dollars, according to a flyer for the event. The CAIR event also appears closed to the press.

CAIR, a Muslim advocacy group known for its anti-Israel positions, was named by the U.S. government as part of a large network of groups known to be supporting Hamas. CAIR has been cited by the Anti-Defamation League, or ADL, for using its network of supporters to promote an “anti-Israel agenda.” “CAIR’s anti-Israel agenda dates back to its founding by leaders of the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), a Hamas affiliated anti-Semitic propaganda organization,” according to the ADL. “While CAIR has denounced specific acts of terrorism in the U.S. and abroad, for many years it refused to unequivocally condemn Palestinian terror organizations and Hezbollah by name, which the U.S. and international community have condemned and isolated.”

“I just wonder what is Rep. Omar saying to a group of Islamic supporters that she feels is so secretive that she cannot say it to the American people, as a whole?” Stern wondered. “What is so secretive that it has to be off the record and closed to reporters? Will she say the same things in public to her Jewish voters in Minnesota that she says to her Islamic friends? What does this tell us about her openness, her honesty and her integrity?”

One veteran Republican political operative expressed concern about the secretive nature of these talks, telling the Free Beacon that Democrats must hide behind-closed-doors to appease these groups with anti-Israel rhetoric. “Of course she’s holding these meetings in secret. That’s just how Democrats roll these days,” the source said. “They’re for limiting your ability to spend money on the candidates you want to support, and for secretly fundraising from Islamist groups who support them. It really puts their support for campaign finance reform into perspective.”

“Rep. Omar’s presence as a keynote speaker to raise funds for Islamic Relief USA, whose parent organization and chapters have documented ties to terrorist organizations, demonstrates that she has learned next to nothing over the last few weeks when she was reprimanded by your office and by other Democrats for posting ugly, anti-Semitic attacks on Jews and their organizations,” the pro-Israel groups wrote in a letter send to House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Elliott Engel (D., N.Y.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.).
