What could possibly go wrong? Many other jihad terrorists freed from Gitmo have returned to the jihad, but these three will become stockbrokers, right?

“Biden Administration Clears 3 Guantánamo Detainees for Release,” by Carol Rosenberg, New York Times, May 17, 2021:

The Biden administration has approved three detainees at Guantánamo Bay for release to countries that agree to impose security conditions on them, including the oldest of the remaining wartime prisoners, lawyers and United States government officials said on Monday.

The approvals raised to nine the number of the 40 detainees currently at the wartime prison who have been approved for transfer to other countries. But it is unclear where the three men will go, or when, in part because the State Department has to make diplomatic and security arrangements with countries to take them.

Some of the other detainees who have been cleared for release over the years have been waiting for a decade for another country to agree to take them. In some instances, countries are asked to continue to jail the detainees or put them on trial. In most cases, they are asked to prevent them from traveling outside the country for at least two years.

Among those who have been granted approval is Saifullah Paracha, 73, of Pakistan, who was captured in Thailand in 2003. In addition to being the oldest of the detainees, he has also been described as among the sickest there, with heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.

The other two were identified as Abdul Rabbani, 54, also a citizen of Pakistan, and Uthman Abdul al-Rahim Uthman, 40, a Yemeni. None have been charged with a crime by the United States in the two decades they have been in custody.

Of the other remaining detainees, 12 have been charged with war crimes, one of them has been convicted, and 19 are considered too dangerous for transfer to the custody of another country.

Word that the men were approved for release initially came from their lawyers, who heard about it from prisoners in attorney-client telephone calls. Two government officials confirmed the three release decisions, but on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it.

The decision to approve the three releases, one official said, was made early last week by the attorney general, the director of national intelligence, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the secretaries of defense, homeland security and state. All of them have representatives who sit on the Periodic Review Board, the organization that assesses the threat posed by the detainees….

Mr. Uthman has been held longest of the three. He was brought to Guantánamo within days of the opening of Camp X-Ray in January 2002 as a suspected member of Osama bin Laden’s bodyguard corps. He was turned down for release in 2018 in part because he lacked “credible plans to support himself upon transfer” and had not said how his family might support him….

Thanks to the Left, Jews Are Under Attack in the U.S., Canada, and Britain

My latest in PJ Media:

In Los Angeles, Palestinian protesters asked people dining at the Sushi Fumi restaurant if they were Jewish, and proceeded to attack them with knives. Elsewhere in Los Angeles, two cars festooned with Palestinian flags chased a Jewish man down a street as he was leaving his synagogue. A Muslim mob screaming “Allahu akbar” attacked a Jewish man in midtown Manhattan.

In Florida, a van also bearing a Palestinian flag and emblazoned with the slogan “Hitler was Right” drove past a pro-Israel demonstration. A Nazi flag also flew at a pro-Palestinian rally in Toronto.

In fact, according to the Toronto Sun, “Israel-born Shawn says things got so violent at a pro-Palestine protest on a packed Nathan Phillips Square Saturday night it reminded him of the 1930s and 1940s in Nazi Germany.”

In Germany, a Leftist Jewish “journalist” tweeted: “May God kill all friends of the Jews!” And in Belgium, London, and elsewhere, Muslim demonstrators chanted “Khaybar, Khaybar, O Jews, the army of Muhammad will return.” As The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS explains, Muhammad led a Muslim force against the Khaybar oasis, which was inhabited by Jews, many of whom he had previously exiled from Medina. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad said, “Allahu akbar! Khaybar is destroyed,” and ordered the attack to begin. When modern-day Muslims invoke Khaybar, they are recalling an aggressive, surprise raid by Muhammad which resulted in the final eradication of the once considerable Jewish presence in Arabia. To the jihadists, Khaybar means the destruction of the Jews and the seizure of their property by the Muslims.

Meanwhile, in England, Muslims screaming anti-Semitic slurs brutally beat Rabbi Rafi Goodwin outside his synagogue. In the city of Birmingham, Muslims broke into a YouTuber’s home and trashed it because the occupant allegedly “disrespected Palestine.” Also in England, a crowd of pro-Palestinian demonstrators chanted, “Muslim armies, where are you?”

It’s clear where they are: in Europe and North America. What we are seeing in the increasing violence against Jews in the West is that when the left claims that “right-wing” rhetoric leads to violence, they’re once again accusing their enemies of what they themselves are guilty of doing.

For years now, we have seen leftists legitimize violence against those whom they hate. Remember Kathy Griffin holding a mockup of Trump’s severed head. Remember Madonna saying: “I’ve thought a lot about blowing up the White House.” Remember failed CNN host and cannibal Reza Aslan’s infamous rant of August 2019, calling for the genocide of supporters of the former president of the United States: “The President is a white nationalist terror leader. His supporters – ALL OF THEM – are by definition white nationalist terror supporters. The MAGA hat is a KKK hood. And this evil, racist scourge must be eradicated from society.”

There are innumerable examples of open bloodlust on the left, with most of them never resulting in any professional difficulties for the people calling for violence. The situation is the same among the Palestinian Arabs. On July 12, 2019, a member of Hamas’ Political Bureau, Fathi Hammad, delivered an impassioned speech in which he declared: “Enough warming up… We must attack every Jew on planet Earth and slaughter and kill them.” Hammad called upon Palestinians to buy knives, which he said could be had for five shekels (about $1.50), to kill Jews. He also said: “We will die while exploding and cutting the necks and legs of the Jews. We will lacerate them and tear them to pieces, Allah willing!”

On May 7, 2021, Hammad said it again: “People of Jerusalem, we want you to cut off the heads of the Jews with knives. With your hand, cut their artery from here. A knife costs five shekels. Buy a knife, sharpen it, put it there, and just cut off [their heads]. It costs just five shekels. With those five shekels, you will humiliate the Jewish state.” Then he added a quotation from the Qur’an: “‘You shall find the strongest in enmity towards the believers to be the Jews and the polytheists [5:82].’” Hammad declared: “The Jews have spread corruption and acted with arrogance, and their moment of reckoning has come. The moment of destruction at your hands has arrived.”

When he first called for Muslims to stab random Jews, Hammad added: “They think that we are rational people. Well, we aren’t. The people of Gaza are not rational.”

Yeah. And that irrationality has now spread all over the world. The international left, having aligned with the jihad force, is not going to stop these attacks on Jews. Lord knows Joe Biden isn’t going to say a word about them, and the FBI is too busy investigating the fictional insurrection of January 6 to take any notice. What we are seeing is the outcome of the left’s persistently violent rhetoric. And we will see much more of it.

 

Fauci’s criminal history dates back decades

(Natural News) Many people are unaware of just how long Anthony Fauci has been a mainstay in the federal government. Going back all the way to the early 1980s, Fauci has been trying to scare people into fearing their loved ones, just as he continues to do today with the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19).

Back in 1983, it was AIDS that Fauci was touting as the scary “pandemic” of that day. He was the first to publish an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) warning that people within the same household could spread AIDS to each other without sexual contact, which was never actually proven.

The mainstream media ran with Fauci’s narrative, though, even though it lacked definitive scientific proof. A UPI wire dated May 5, 1983, warned that “Household contacts can transmit AIDS” – again, despite the fact that Fauci never proved this and even admitted to such.

From there, fear began to spread as people worried that they might catch AIDS from their kids or their doctors, or perhaps the waitress at the local diner. AIDS was everywhere, was the messaging that was trumpeted, thanks to Fauci’s claims, and the goal was to get everyone “vaccinated” for AIDS at some point in the future.

That plan failed when the medical establishment never actually came up with a workable jab for AIDS, but you can be sure that Fauci tried. And he has continually tried with each new iteration of some scary new virus, whether it was MERS, SARS, or most recently the Chinese Virus.

“We now know, of course, that Fauci’s theory was wrong,” reports Blacklisted News about Fauci’s fake science concerning the spread of AIDS. “HIV, the virus that was later discovered to cause AIDS, only transmits by exposure to infected bodily fluids such as blood, or by sexual contact.”

“The damage was already done though, as the media went to work stoking alarm about AIDS transmission through simple routine contacts. Hundreds of newspapers disseminated the distressing theory from Fauci’s article. Writing a few weeks later, conservative columnist Pat Buchanan enlisted Fauci as the centerpiece of a rebuttal against Health and Human Services Secretary Margaret Heckler, who told him ‘there is no evidence … that the general population is threatened by [AIDS].'”

Fauci has continually proven his untrustworthiness for nearly 40 years

Many people eventually figured out that the mainstream news had wildly overblown how AIDS actually spreads, but most did not make the connection to Fauci. Back then, he made brief appearances, if any at all, before slithering back into his hole to come up with the next public health hoax.

Looking back on Fauci’s legacy, it becomes clear that he was always careful to use words like “could” or “may,” which freed him, at least publicly, from liability for his bizarre claims. Fauci would drum up some new scare story behind the scenes about some “deadly” new virus, the media would run with it, it would later be debunked, and Fauci would just move on to the next false narrative.

This political dinosaur has never been honest, is rarely correct about anything, and yet he would seem to have permanent tenure within the constructs of the federal government. We have to ask ourselves: Why do we put up with these charlatans, let alone continue to pay them our tax dollars to keep lying to us about the next great scare?

“Fauci should be jailed for crimes against humanity,” wrote one commenter at Blacklisted News about where Fauci belongs.

“He is the perfect demon versus humanity on planet earth,” responded another, noting that Fauci fits right in with all the self-serving politicians who continue to cover for him.

Canadian Church Ordered to Close, Congregation Meets Outside~FINED A HUGE AMOUNT THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO PAY

Canadian Church Ordered to Close, Congregation Meets Outside

Aylmer Police Chief recently attacked Pastor Hildebrandt publicly, yet refuses to engage nor direct his officers to follow their oath to the Constitution of Canada.

Fear of COVID has led to multiple violations of civil liberties in the United States, and also in other nations. In Canada, Ontario Superior Court Justice Bruce Thomas ordered congregants out of the Aylmer Church of God building during church services, and last Friday, new locks were placed on the exterior doors. Additionally, Thomas fined the church $117,000 — a figure above what the church has the ability to pay.

But then Sunday morning, a large crowd assembled outside the building and listened to the church’s pastor, Henry Hildebrandt, preach his sermon on a loudspeaker. Fortunately, the weather was pleasant as Hildebrandt addressed the circumstances that had forced the church to meet outside.

This is an important point. While it is popular to refer to the building as “the church,” the word actually refers to the assembly itself. In the New Testament times, Christians did not meet in church buildings, as that would have made them targets of the government, but rather in private homes, outside, or in the catacombs — burial sites underneath the city.

Western civilization — of which the United States and Canada is a part — was largely built on the foundation of Christianity. And yet, this foundation is increasingly under attack from secularists who despise Christians and use various excuses to undermine religious liberty, or, in this case, public health concerns.

The media generally sides with the secularists against Christians and religious liberty in this country, in Canada, and in the United Kingdom. For example, the London Free Press’ coverage of the episode illustrates this bias against biblical Christianity: “Residents in this quaint town of 7,000 are reacting with relief after authorities padlocked the doors of the Church of God.”

One might note that it is highly unlikely that the entire town of 7,000 agrees with padlocking a church building, but that was the impression given in the article. The London Free Press quoted a resident, Renate Laidlaw, who said, “It should’ve been done a long time ago. It’s ridiculous. Our town is on the map because of these Church of God people.”

Apparently, this woman views the town’s reputation as of greater importance than individual liberty.

In an interview with Rebel Press, Pastor Hildebrandt said, “We are making a mockery out of our law system,” charging that Canadians are now under a “medical dictatorship” of unelected public health officials who have been invested with the power to trample on individual rights. He noted that these public health dictators offer no scientific evidence to support for their decrees.

Appealing to the Canadian Constitution, Hildebrandt explained that the Constitution “was created for the people, not the government.” While Canada has a bill of rights —the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, adopted in 1982 — and it gives lip service to the concept of freedom of religion, it has loopholes that sound much like the words of President Joe Biden. Biden, it might be recalled, said that the freedoms protected in the U.S. Bill of Rights are “not absolute.”

Hildebrandt also charged that the media were “little puppies” for the government, which sounds much like the U.S. media (except when someone such as President Donald Trump is in office who opposes their secular-progressive agenda).

While it is true that congregations such as Pastor Hildebrandt’s can meet outdoors (especially when it is a beautiful spring day, as it was in Aylmer, Ontario, this past Sunday), this is impractical during rainstorms, bitterly cold days (quite common in Canada during the winter), or exceptionally hot days. And when governments are run by those who despise the church and its message, they are going to do what they can to prevent that message from getting out, including making a congregation meet outdoors. While devoted followers might still meet in a driving rainstorm, they are unlikely to attract non-church members — people they are trying to reach with the Gospel.

Ridiculous fines, such as the six-figure fine imposed by Justice Thomas, are, as Hildebrandt explained to the reporter, an effort to intimidate. In the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights, excessive fines are forbidden, but this has long been a provision that has been largely ignored in our country. In Canada, a country that historically has not been as devoted to liberty as the United States, such fines are more common.

In the biblical Book of Acts, the apostles were told by the governmental authorities not to preach in the name of Jesus, to which they responded, “Whether it be right in the sight of God, to obey you rather than God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” (Acts 4:19-20)

Americans should be alert to what is happening, not only in Canada, but in our own country. While many have meekly submitted to the whims of what Pastor Hildebrandt called “medical dictators,” during a pandemic, we must understand that such submission has set a precedent to close houses of worship.

What will be the next excuse?

 

Fund the Police and Build the Wall: House Democrats Pass $1.9 Billion Capitol Security Bill

Fund the Police and Build the Wall: House Democrats Pass $1.9 Billion Capitol Security Bill

While many Democrats running America’s cities have been defunding their police departments, the Beltway Democrats are trying to militarize the Capitol. Nearly all House Democrats — the same people who supported the “Defund the Police” movement and opposed Trump’s border wall and called it a waste of money — want more police, more fencing, and other enhanced security measures to protect them. On Thursday, they passed a $1.9 billion spending bill to upgrade Capitol security in the wake of the January 6 Capitol protests.

A tight 213-212 vote came after an 11-hour scramble on the floor, with the far-left Representatives known as “the Squad” nearly tanking the legislation. All Republicans present voted against it, and three Democrats crossed party lines to oppose the security bill, namely, Representatives Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, and Cori Bush of Missouri. Fellow “Squad” members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan voted “present,” as did Jamaal Bowman of New York. 

Though “the Squad” members are vehemently anti-Trump, they have opposed expanding “domestic terror laws” in the wake of the January riot. However, their stated concern was less for the well-being of Donald Trump’s supporters, but for the “black, brown, indigenous, people of color and leftist groups” Tlaib claimed would be targeted by any such laws.

Unexpected Republican allies Bush, Omar, and Pressley said in a joint statement that “We cannot support this increased funding while many of our communities continue to face police brutality while marching in the streets, and while questions about the disparate response between insurrectionists and those protesting in defense of Black lives go unanswered.” They also complained the bill “does far too little to address the unspeakable trauma of the countless officers, staff, and support workers who were on-site that day.”

The bill would, indeed, dramatically expand security around the Capitol. $730 million would be used to pay “reimbursement” to the Capitol Police, the D.C. police, the National Guard, and other federal agencies that responded on the day of the riot and that were present in the city afterward, until May 23. $520.9 million would pay for the National Guard deployment, $66.8 million would go to the District of Columbia, and $43.9 million to the U.S. Capitol Police. Nearly $40 million is directed for the prosecution of the rioters already arrested. 

The bill directs more than $950 million to harden the Capitol and install new security measures for members of Congress, a sharp increase from $585.8 million allocated in 2020. The lion’s share of the funds — $529.7 million — would be used to upgrade the architecture of the Capitol building, including $250 million to ramp up physical security of the Capitol complex infrastructure, and potentially install retractable security fencing to replace the steel boundary in place around the Capitol since January. 

Among other provisions, $200 million would be used to set up a “quick reaction force” to back up Capitol Police in any future emergencies, and $21.5 million to the House sergeant-at-arms to ramp up protection details for members. So just like that, responsible people carrying guns are welcomed by anti-gun Democrats.

The bill also includes $500,800 for new trauma counselors and support for the Office of Employee Assistance.

Democrat legislators thoughtfully provided $155 million for miscellaneous issues “related to COVID-19,” such as enhanced cleaning, personal protective equipment, telework equipment, and overtime pay for the members of the Congress; and hotel rooms for officers and staff unable to return home due to positive cases of the coronavirus.

While the bill squeaked through the House, it faces an even more uncertain fate in the Senate, where the Democrats hold a single-vote majority and will need to win over 10 Republicans to ensure its passage.

Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Pat Leahy (D-Vt.) raised concerns during talks and more recently issued a statement, saying that even though he is “committed to moving a bill in the Senate to address these important needs … we must make sure we are making smart investments in our security based on lessons learned. It is important to me that the Capitol, a potent symbol of our democracy, remains open and accessible to the public and does not feel like a militarized zone.”

Republican opposition centered around the bill’s cost, but also around its potential to permanently militarize the Capitol. Allocating $200 million for a quick reaction force “raises serious concerns about the role of our military on American soil,” Representative Kelly Granger (R-Texas) said during debate on the bill. House and Senate Armed Services Committee ranking members Mike Rogers (R-Ala.) and James Inhofe (R-Okla.) said in a statement Wednesday, “We cannot and should not militarize the security of the Capitol Complex.”

Senator Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), the top Republican on the Appropriations Committee, said Congress should study the spending methodically rather than “rush to judgment and throw a lot of money at something.”

“I think we are pushing the pause button here,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Tuesday, suggesting that no money be spent until Congressional hearings into the riot are concluded.
