Wikileaks: Soros Memo Accused Obama of Fueling Radical Islam to Push TPP by Frances Martel24 Oct 2016 A March 2016 email published Monday by the organization Wikileaks reveals that George Soros, in anticipation of a meeting with Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, requested Podesta read a memo accusing President Barack Obama of emboldening radical Islam in Malaysia in order to get the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement (TPP) passed. Podesta received an email in March 2016 from Soros spokesperson Michael Vachon. “I have attached a memo on TPP and Malaysia, as it may come up when you see George and Alex [Soros,...

We all know that Barack Obama was nominally a lawyer at some point in his past – not a good one, by anyone's account, but he was one. Assume for the moment that Barack Obama had as his client The Muslim Brotherhood, or CAIR, or Hamas, or any one of dozens of organizations dedicated to taking down the United States. Could he possibly have done a more effective job of hiding his client's actions or intentions while they went about conducting criminal operations unmolested as he has for seven years? Could he have been more successful at misdirecting and obfuscating...

President Obama gives another speech.

Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama on Tuesday unleashed a blistering verbal assault on Donald Trump and his proposal for a ban on Muslims entering the country, saying the suggestion violates the principles of American democracy and dismissing the "yapping" from "politicians who tweet." Obama also angrily pushed back against criticism for not using the term "radical Islamic terrorism," calling it "loose talk." "What exactly would using this language accomplish? What exactly would it change?" Obama asked during remarks at the Treasury Department. "Would it make ISIL less committed to try and kill Americans?" he continued, using a different acronym for ISIS.

Donald Trump says President Barack Obama is "more angry" at him than the gunman in the Orlando massacre. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee is speaking at a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, hours after Obama denounced his anti-Muslim rhetoric. Trump made similar comments Monday, when he told a conservative radio host the president "doesn't have a lot of anger at what happened to these wonderful people." Trump delivered a fiery speech Monday in which he vowed to impose a broad ban on immigrants from areas of the world with a history of terrorism and suggested some Muslims in the United...

Egyptian TV host Ahmed Moussa said, in response to the December 2 San Bernardino terror attack, that he suspected that U.S. President Obama was "connected to the terrorists who carried out the attack," and added: "They should take Obama and stick him on an impalement rod. This is what they would do in a respectful country." Following are excerpts from Moussa's address, which aired on the Egyptian Sada Al-Balad TV channel on December 5, 2015. Ahmad Moussa: You should beware not to raise a lion, or it will devour you. You should never think that... It was America that raised...

Obama Kind of, Sort of Discovers Muslim Terrorism A tiny step forward -- and ten steps back. December 8, 2015 Bruce Thornton Bruce Thornton is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. The Romans had a saying, "Experience is the teacher of fools." On Sunday night Obama addressed the nation about the San Bernardino attacks, and among the usual lefty Democrat talking points about preventing a "backlash" against Muslims and fretting over "assault rifles," he gently called out the Muslim community. That [avoiding a "war with Islam"] does not mean denying the fact that an extremist...

Monday on his national radio show, conservative talk show host Mark Levin reacted to President Barack Obama’s address to the nation a night earlier about the threat of terrorism. Levin gave a scathing critique of the president for tone and for what he deemed to be a lecture.

Ted Cruz on Tuesday said that the threat from radical Islamic terrorists can’t be defeated when the Obama administration refuses to acknowledge the true nature of that threat. ‘We cannot defeat radical Islamic terrorism with an administration that is unwilling to utter the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism,’” Cruz said as the International Association of Firefighters Legislative Conference and Presidential Forum in Washington, D.C. During his speech to firefighters and paramedics Cruz addressed the Obama administration’s foreign policy. SNIP “The respect America has in the world has never been lower than it is right now,” Cruz said. “Let’s take one example...

Following are excerpts from an interview with Lebanese Sunni cleric Sheik Muhammad Abu Al-Qat', which aired on Al-Manar TV on May 10, 2008: Sheik Muhammad Abu Al-Qat': Today, on May 10, 2008, at 22:50 – through Al-Manar TV – let me bring good tidings to the Muslims: Allah willing, the American empire will very soon collapse. They object to any talk about the destruction of the state of Israel. Interviewer: And they are celebrating its 60th anniversary... Sheik Muhammad Abu Al-Qat': That's not the issue. We say that Allah willing, within 10 to 12 years, America will collapse. This won't...

President Barack Obama made two appalling statements recently. First, he characterized the Jewish victims of Islamo-terrorism in the Parisian Kosher market as merely victims "... of violent, vicious zealots who … randomly shoot a bunch of folks in a deli in Paris." Then he chastised Americans for hastily condemning Islamic terrorism by comparing Islamist violence to "terrible deeds" perpetrated by Christians during the Crusades and the Inquisition. I suppose that Obama figures the six million Jews who went into Hitler's ovens were also selected randomly. And perhaps he is willing to overlook the fact that Germany invaded France in 1940...

At precisely the time Mr. Obama was campaigning on the imminent death of al Qaeda, those with access to the bin Laden documents were seeing, in bin Laden’s own words, that the opposite was true. Says Lt. Gen. Flynn: “By that time, they probably had grown by about—I’d say close to doubling by that time. And we knew that.” This wasn’t what the Obama White House wanted to hear. So the administration cut off DIA access to the documents and instructed DIA officials to stop producing analyses based on them. Even this limited glimpse into the broader set of documents...

As leader of the Western world, the President of the United States automatically receives the title, ‘world’s moral leader against terrorism’. No one else in the West has the bully pulpit to be that leader. No one else has the military might to give that leadership a lethal punch. Our world today reveals a universal truth for nation-states: might makes right. It’s military power that creates real-life morality, not speeches. Without the willingness to kill, any Western attempt to promote life, freedom or humanitarian values will be rendered meaningless by the sword of the enemy. If that sounds paradoxical, it...

In a shocking op-ed by the editor-in-chief of the fiercely anti-Israel paper, al-Arabiya, Faisal Abbas admits that Netanyahu is right, Iran must be dealt with. Obama is out-radicalizing the radicals. “Al-Arabiya Editor Demands Obama Listen to Netanyahu,” Israel National News, March 3, 2015 Al-Arabiya’s English edition editor-in-chief Faisal J. Abbas wrote a surprising op-ed on Tuesday, calling on US President Barack Obama to listen to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu after the latter addressed Congress on the dangers of an Iran nuclear deal being formulated. Abbas, whose paper is openly anti-Israel and Saudi-owned, began by scornfully conceding “it is extremely rare...

An Egyptian-born imam who in 2007 said that Somali-born activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali should receive the death penalty for her criticism of Islam is now a Department of Justice contractor hired to teach classes to Muslims who are in federal prison. According to federal spending records, Fouad ElBayly, the imam at Islamic Center of Johnstown in Pennsylvania, was contracted by the DOJ’s Bureau of Prisons beginning last year to teach the classes to Muslim inmates at Cumberland Federal Correctional Institution in Cumberland, Md. The records show that ElBayly has two contracts worth $12,900 to teach the classes and to provide...

Hazzm, one of largest remaining non-jihadist Syrian rebel groups, decides to merge with Islamists rebels with which they have fought for weeks. One of the main western-backed rebel groups announced on Sunday that it had dissolved itself and joined a larger Islamist alliance, weeks into a battle which saw it lose ground and men to more powerful al Qaeda insurgents.

In a very interesting message from “Brother Rasheed,” the Moroccan-born former Muslim demands that Obama stop hiding behind multi-culturalism and political correctness and call those extremist monsters what they are – representations of Islam. He asks rhetorically if Islam isn’t the problem, then why is that Christians and Jews who live under the same economic and social circumstances in the Middle East aren’t blowing themselves up to attack civilians under the name of their faiths? It’s a message Obama needs to hear, but when we can’t get him to wake up to even take a look at defense briefings, I...

Obama’s Self-Professed “Confusion” About Islamic TerrorPosted By Raymond Ibrahim On February 27, 2015 @ 12:30 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage | 3 Comments During the National Prayer Breakfast earlier this month, U.S. President Obama tried to shield Islam from criticism by depicting Christianity as equally violent and intolerant (via comments about crusades, inquisitions, and “high horses”). Much lesser known is that he also tried to shield Islam by invoking Christian virtues.In many ways, his comments on “humility” might be the strangest of his entire speech—to the point that Obama himself got visibly confused, and admitted it, by his own lack of...

Barack Obama aroused controversy over his affinity with Islam yet again in February 2015, when a photo surfaced from the U.S.-African Leaders’ Summit in August 2014, showing Obama passing by a group of African delegates with his right index finger raised in a gesture strongly reminiscent of the Islamic State’s now notorious one-finger salute.
