CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURE: $1133.22 Senate campaign payroll expense to Steven L. Hyland, Jr.
DETAILS: Hyland is an anti-Israel activist based out of Texas. In a June 23, 1995 editorial for the Daily Texan Hyland wrote "The U.S. government labels Hizbollah and Islamic Jihad as terrorist organizations, but they are really freedom fighters defending their rights in Lebanon and Palestine." Other published writings by Hyland blame Israel for the Palestinian terrorists and liken the Israeli government to Hitler's Germany. Hyland is also a close personal friend of convicted American Taliban John Walker Lindh. He met Lindh during a study abroad program at the Yemen Language Center in 1998 (source).

DONOR: Ishan "Sammy" Elashi
AMMOUNT: $500 on April 24, 1995 to Kirk's Dallas mayoral campaign (source)
DETAILS: Elashi, a radical Islamic activist based out of Richardson, TX, is the owner of Tetrabal Corporation and an affiliate of his family-owned Infocom Corporation, both of which have been shut down by the government from export charges after shipping computer equipment to known terrorist states. Elashi himself was arrested in February as a result of government terrorism investigations. He was indicted on 39 federal counts in April stemming from illegal shipments of electronics, computer hardware, and communications equipments to locations in Syria, Libya, Saudi Arabia, and other locations throughout the Middle East. A number of the shipments occured after an export ban was imposed upon his company during the investigation. The charges included money laundering and the illegal exports he made to known terrorist states. Elashi pled guilty to the charges on June 17, 2002 and faces sentencing this September with a 50 year maximum penalty plus over $1 million in fines. His conviction is listed on the web site of the United States Department of Justice and the United States Commerce Department's Bureau of Export Administration, the agency that enforces export laws pertaining to national security and anti-terrorism matters. Press releases detailing Elashi's guilty plea in anti-terrorism export charges may be found by clicking on the links to both agencies.
        Ishan Elashi's business dealings also extend to Infocom Corporation, in which he is an affiliate and his brother Ghassan Elashi is the principle. Infocom, a former web service provider for almost exclusively Islamic sites ranging from Al Jazeera television to the Holy Land Foundation, was raided last September under an investigation by the government's North Texas Joint Terrorism Task Force (source). Infocom's assets were frozen after it recieved a $250,000 money transfer from Elashi's cousin Nadia Marzook, the wife of Hamas Political Bureau leader Mousa Abu Marzook. Marzook, who is based in Syria, is listed in the leadership section of the Hamas' website at this link. Among the Elashi family members who own Infocom are affiliates of the Islamic Association for Palestine (which was founded by Marzook). Other affiliations of the Elashi's and many other Democrat donors include the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR. The Elashis are also the main officials of the Richardson, TX based Holy Land Foundation - another group that had its assets frozen in a post 9/11 probe. President Bush announced the order against the HLF, which was recently sustained in court, stating the charges against it: "The Holy Land Foundation is registered with the IRS as a tax-exempt charity based in Richardson...Money raised by the Holy Land Foundation is used by Hamas to support schools and indoctrinate children to grow up into suicide bombers." The Holy Land Foundation was also formerly represented by lobbyist John Bryant. Bryant is a former Democrat Congressman from the Dallas area and a supporter and friend of Kirk.

DONOR: Majida M. Salem
AMMOUNT: $100 on April 25, 1995 to Kirk's Dallas mayoral campaign (source)

DONOR: Mohammed Suleman
AMMOUNT: $50 on May 1, 1995 to Kirk's Dallas mayoral campaign (source)
DETAILS: Suleman is on the board of the Dallas chapter of radical islamic group CAIR. After September 11, Suleman gave support for former Holy Land Foundation employee Ghassan Dahduli following his deportion only weeks after September 11th for terrorist ties (source). Dahduli was a close personal friend of Osama Bin Laden's personal secretary, Wadi Al Hage, who was convicted for the 1998 embassy bombings in Africa. Papers belonging to Al Hage mentioned Dahduli and business activities with the Holy Land Foundation.

SUPPORTER: Ghulam Warriach

Millions are being spent purging black Democrats

Oh, my, LL/Voegelin, you almost slipped this one by me. WHAT purge of black Democrats? In the Earl Hilliard-Artur Davis race, both candidates are black. In the Cynthia McKinney-Denise Majette race, both candidates are black. In the first race, Hilliard, the pro-Palestinian, pro-Arab candidate lost to Davis. Of course, that might be because Hilliard ran a lousy campaign & brought in Al Sharpton. In the McKinney-Majette race, the election isn't until Tuesday, with the last available pollling showing Majette slightly ahead. Of course, with McKinney awash in radical Islamic money, and with a visit from Louis Farrakhan for her, who knows how that race is going turn out.

If you can cite any other examples of "purging black Democrats," please do so.

[getoffmylawn]

You should also list the Republicans that took terrorist money like Dole and McCain. They're huge supporters of the Albanian terrorists, and rightfully so. They've been bought and paid for.

[Cachelot]

You don't mean that Jews should be banned from giving money to Republican candidates, do you LL/Voegelin?

Actually, I think LarryLied/Voegelin has a problem with the Jooos having money in the first place ;).

As for purging: I find it extremely odd that FR has such a problem with purging this antisemite.

[veronica]

Isn't it weird that Mr. Lied is taking the side of Democrats who took radical Islamic & terrorist campaign $$$?

He seems to think Americans of any stripe (including Jews) do not have the right to stand up against that sort of mischief.

And it bothers him when the GOP courts Jewish votes. I think The Reform Party is more his style.

I find it even more odd that LL/Voegelin talks about "purging black Democrats" when the opposing candidates in the Hilliard and McKinney races are also black. Is it that Larry is doing the same thing the Hilliard and McKinney camps are doing: that if you aren't pro-Palestinian, pro-Arab, pro-Farrakhan, far-left Congressional Black Caucus-type, you aren't considered to be black?

[veronica]

Called in your GOP-bashing bud Mr. Lied to try and change the topic of this thread? LOL. All too transparent. Try and stay on topic.

[Cachelot]

I think The Reform Party is more his style.

Now there's a coincidence. Wasn't that insane freak Martin Lindstedt involved with them?

I seem to remember they had a minor flap going with having to throw a few all-too-blatant Nazis overboard ;).

Quote: I just cannot invision myself sitting on the sidelines and enjoing myself while the Democrats win. So what are we to do? As I'm sure you know, the true-believer progressives are saying the exact same thing. They are even more alienated from the Democratic Party than conservatives are from the Republican. And that will increase as AIPAC has made it clear it has veto power over which Blacks will be allowed to run in general elections. In Alabama, hundreds of conservatives crossed over to vote for an African-American Muslim Democrat in a statehouse primary. In Florida, New Hampshire Senator Bob Smith is raising money from Jewish Clinton-Gore supporters. We live in interesting times.

Actually, you can at any time follow LarryLied in stereo, sort of. One thread here on FR, one thread on LF. The LF thread a little bit more manic, a little cruder, with "hymie" stuff thrown in.

A disgrace to Free Republic.

Thankfully, the communist Bonior did not win the Michigan Democratic primary for governor. Now, he can just sit back and collect his big, fat pension paid for by the taxpayers.

MCKINNEY DONORS NAMED IN 9-11 SUIT

WASHINGTON -- Several contributors to Rep. Cynthia McKinney's campaign are among the alleged "enablers of terrorism" named in the $1 trillion lawsuit filed this week by families of some Sept. 11 victims.

The suit seeks damages from the "financial sponsors of terror" who "hide behind the facade of legitimacy." Among these alleged terrorist financiers are several individual supporters of McKinney. Among the corporate defendants is a Gainesville poultry firm.

The federal suit was filed Thursday by more than 600 relatives of people who died in the terrorist attacks in New York City, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania. The amount sought was amended to $1 trillion from an earlier $100 trillion.

"The financial resources and support network of these defendants -- charities, banks and individual financiers -- are what allowed the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, to occur," the lawsuit charges.

Among the defendants are:

Mar-Jac Poultry Inc., a Gainesville firm that the lawsuit claims has links to Saudi supporters of Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida terrorist network.

Abdurahman Alamoudi, who contributed $2,000 to McKinney's campaign. The lawsuit says Alamoudi has "openly stated his support for Hamas and Hezbollah, both designated terrorist organizations." Alamoudi is secretary of the Success Foundation, which the lawsuit charges is part of the International Islamic Relief Organization, which is "al- Qaida's charity of choice to funnel money and weapons."

Mohamed S. Omeish, who contributed $500 to McKinney's campaign. The suit says Omeish is president of the U.S. branch of the Islamic Relief Organization.

Yaqub Mirza, president of Mar-Jac Investments, who also gave $500 to McKinney's campaign. He is secretary-treasurer of the Muslim World League, an organization named as a defendant in the lawsuit. "The MWL has numerous connections with al-Qaida operatives," the lawsuit alleges.

Jamal Barzinji, a Mar-Jac Investments manager, who gave $500 to McKinney's campaign. Barzinji is president of SAAR Foundation, another organization named as a defendant in the lawsuit. "The SAAR Network financially supports terrorism and its main contributors, the al-Rajhi Family, has a long history of same," the lawsuit says.

The lawsuit said the "co-conspirators, aiders and abettors of the al-Rajhi family" include Mar-Jac Poultry Inc. The al-Rajhi family was included among the Saudi Arabian financiers of bin Laden.

Ahmad Totonji, who contributed $1,000 to McKinney's campaign. The lawsuit lists him among the "co-conspirators, aiders and abettors of the SAAR Network."

The lawsuit defendants who contributed to McKinney's campaign could not be reached Friday and did not respond to telephone messages. Telephone calls on Friday to the McKinney campaign were not returned. The congresswoman faces former DeKalb County State Court Judge Denise Majette in the 4th District Democratic primary Tuesday.

Thanks for answering my question:

Is it that Larry is doing the same thing the Hilliard and McKinney camps are doing: that if you aren't pro-Palestinian, pro-Arab, pro-Farrakhan, far-left Congressional Black Caucus-type, you aren't considered to be black?

It's always about the Jews....

Did you read that part of McKinney's letter stating, "America started 2001 by executing a retarded black woman"
Don't you wish they should have ended 2001 by executing one more...(McKinney)

[Dakmar]

Actally, I hate McKinney as much as anyone else, and pinged LL here just to make sure he saw this. As for Smith, that's the first I'd heard about that and just wanted more info. My only agenda is exposing ALL government corruption, and LL is a good source on a lot of it.

Actually, to get a good eye-opener on LarryLied, go to LibertyForum and follow the posts of his alter ego, "Voegelin".

For those unfamiliar with "Voegelin", he is LarryLied. That was at first an obvious thing due to more or less identical posts here and on LF. Then, he was so kind as to post his email address on the Voegelin profile. After he was "unmasked" as Voegelin, he removed his mail address from LibertyForum.

However: I have in my archive two profile pages. See, after he put his address on LibertyForum, he put it on FreeRepublic. And the timestamps on the pages here reflects that fact.

Now, I'm gonna give you a graphic example of what "Voegelin" is all about. Hold your nose:

It is tough love Skunkie. What you do to a snotty five year old brat who keeps getting picked on by other kids. You don't coo over him and tell him how unjust it all is. You tell him to stop being an obnoxious brat.

So, according to LarryLied/Voegelin, all this gassing stuff was just "tough love". Skunk is banned here, and has been banned through about 20 incarnations. LarryLied/Voegelin, his pal, is untouchable.

Thanks for the info, that's enlightening. I've always known LL had a bias against Israel, but took it as being contrarian, not anti-semitic. Time for re-evaluation.
