Czech Republic Receives Bomb Threats as it Continues to Resist Illegal Migrant Tidal Wave

Czech Republic Receives Bomb Threats as it Continues to Resist Illegal Migrant Tidal Wave Visegrad group nations outspoken in opposition to EU mandate

A large-scale evacuation of train stations and public buildings is underway in the Czech Republic after reports of a possible bomb attack.
According the Czech officials, an anonymous phone call said ten bombs were planted at the central rail station in Prague and other locations across the country. Additional evacuations have taken place in the cities of Plzen, Pardubice, Mlada Boleslav and Jicin.

“An anonymous person informed us by telephone that there were bombs at the central railway station in Prague and other places across the Czech Republic,” said police chief Marketa Janovska.

Czech president Milos Zeman is an outspoken critic of the European Union’s plan to flood the continent with illegal migrants from the Middle East and North Africa.

“The experience of western European countries which have ghettos and excluded localities shows that the integration of the Muslim community is practically impossible,” Zeman said in a televised interview.

“Let them have their culture in their countries and not take it to Europe, otherwise it will end up like Cologne,” he said in reference to the mass New Year’s Eve assaults on women in Germany and elsewhere in Europe.

Zeman characterized the unprecedented influx of non-European migrants as an invasion. “I am profoundly convinced that we are facing an organized invasion and not a spontaneous movement of refugees,” he said during a Christmas message. He also said Muslim migrants would impose sharia law.

“A large majority of the illegal migrants are young men in good health and single. I wonder why these men are not taking up arms to go fight for the freedom of their countries against the Islamic State,” he added.

A survey revealed 65 percent of Czechs are against taking in migrants.

Additionally, a majority of Czechs oppose EU monetary hegemony. According to a CVVM poll, 78 percent of respondents reject adopting the euro as the country’s currency.

In February, the country joined Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland—known collectively as the Visegrad group—to discuss creating a blockade to stop migrants arriving from Greece.

In February, unelected EU apparatchiks approved a plan that would force countries in Europe to take hundreds of thousands of so-called refugees. Germany and France led the charge in favor of the “compulsory approach to resettling refugees” and “absorbing” them.

Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orban, has also denounced the effort to flood Europe with culturally and socially incompatible migrants. He blamed the European Union for the tidal wave of migrants. “If we want to stop the mass migration, first we must put the brakes on Brussels,” he said in March.

He warned “Europe will be destroyed” by the influx. “We are calling every citizen of Hungary and every nation of Europe into unity, regardless of political affiliation. Europe’s leaders and citizens cannot live in two separate worlds any–more, we must restore the unity of Europe. The people of Europe cannot be free on their own, if we are not free together.”

“It is forbidden to say that immigration brings crime and terror to our countries,” Orban added. “It is forbidden to say that the arriving masses from other cultures are a threat to our way of life, our culture, our habits and our Christian traditions.”

The Czech Republic’s resistance to absorbing migrants has resulted in young Western Europeans flocking to the country because they feel it is safer than their migrant over-run homelands.

Chris Tomlinson, writing for Breitbart in March, cited reports stating the main reasons for the youth exodus to the country is a fear of illegal Muslim migrants, lack of work, and a deteriorating sense of security where gang violence and street crime have become commonplace.

Iranian ayatollah decries peaceful Islam as “American Islam”

May 10, 2016

Iranian ayatollah decries peaceful Islam as “American Islam” Jihad Watch, , May 9, 2016

“Islam commands us to be firm against the enemies and be kind and compassionate toward each other.” Where does Ayatollah Sayyed Yousef Tabatabaeinejad get this idea? Why, from the Qur’an: “Muhammad is the messenger of Allah; those with him are harsh against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves…” (48:29)

Will the American Islamic apologists who insist that Islam is peaceful and that those who think otherwise are greasy Islamophobes take the Ayatollah Sayyed Yousef Tabatabaeinejad to task for misunderstanding the religion which he has spent his life trying to understand properly? Don’t hold your breath.

Ayatollah-Sayyed-Yousef-Tabatabaeinejad

“Non-revolutionary Islam is “American Islam” – Shiite scholar,” Iran’s state-controlled Ahlul Bayt News Agency, May 9, 2016:

Ayatollah Khamenei’s representative in Esfahan province emphasized that non-revolutionary Islam is the same as “American Islam” and revolutionary Islam is the same as pure Muhammadan Islam.

AhlulBayt News Agency – Ayatollah Khamenei’s representative in Esfahan province of Iran, Ayatollah Sayyed Yousef Tabatabaeinejad noted the anniversary of the establishment of Iran’s Organization for Mobilization of the Oppressed (Basij) on the orders of the late Imam Khomeini and stated: “The Basij was established during the [Iran-Iraq] War and it also established a revolutionary spirit for the entire nation and it still has this revolutionary spirit.”

The Supreme Leader’s representative in Esfahan province emphasized the fact that the revolutionary Islam is the same as pure Muhammadan Islam, saying: “Some say our Islam is not revolutionary Islam, but we must say to them that non-revolutionary Islam is the same as American Islam. Islam commands us to be firm against the enemies and be kind and compassionate toward each other and not be afraid of anything.”

Ayatollah Tabatabaeinejad pointed to the false idea among some, who think that in order to survive, we must accept the enemies’ oppression and referred to the message of Imam Husayn’s uprising against the Caliph Yazid, saying: “By saying ‘woe unto the wretched,’ Imam Husayn did not say that in order to improve our living conditions we should accept the enemies’ humiliation. Principally, our Islam is revolutionary and revolutionary Islam has created the Islamic Revolution and this revolutionary spirit must be maintained.”

His Eminence said that the [Iranian] Revolution was brought into existence through Islam and was led by the clergy and Imam Khomeini. “The message of Imam Khomeini advanced the Revolution and the clergy suffered torture and endured many hardships on this path and the revolution triumphed due to their efforts. If the clergy abandon their revolutionary spirit, the duties of the people will be determined.”

Ayatollah Tabatabaeinejad stated that revolutionary Islam is this same Islam. It is the Islam that is within us that can create changes. The warriors realized that Islam is not just prayers and fasting, but rather they stood against the enemies in support of Islam. “Thus, revolutionary Islam is our constitution and our Leader acts according to religious attributes and never accepts foreign domination,” he stressed.

Exclusive: The Establishment Unbound – GOP Lawyers Gunning for Trump

Exclusive: The Establishment Unbound – GOP Lawyers Gunning for Trump The Trump juggernaut must be ready for this assault Roger Stone

Infowars Exclusive – May 10, 2016

I hope we have not converted our pro-Trump Stop The Steal Rally to a Unity and Victory Rally in Cleveland July 18th too soon. A motion to unbind all delegates, along with many other underhanded strategies, is being discussed by the elite of the Republican legal establishment, with the permission (if under not the instruction) of Speaker Paul Ryan. Bitter operatives of Ted Cruz even mailed voters before Virginia County conventions in an attempt to grab delegates.

The extremely capable Paul Manafort beat back that charge for Trump. A someone who saw both Nixon, Reagan up close while in their service I have never seen anything like the whirlwind of Donald J. Trump. He is bigger than the Republican Party. After a wildly successful, if unconventional, primary campaign that closed off any other candidates’ path to 1247 delegates before the convention, Donald Trump is finally being called the presumptive nominee by some, but not the GOP insiders. The battle for his nomination is far from over. The establishment is still plotting to silence the voice of the majority of Republican primary voters. To many journalists, the inner workings of party rules are “inside baseball” of no interest to the common voter. But the GOP insider scheme to unbind delegates and disenfranchise voters should concern every American.

Last week, the annual conference of the Republican National Lawyers Association was held, with some 250 attorneys in attendance. The main topic of discussion: how to steal the GOP nomination front presumptive nominee Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention. The RNLA is technically a separate entity from the RNC, though it is essentially made of elite establishment types who are attorneys representing special interests . At their recent meeting, the phrase “Never Trump” was bandied about in hushed tones quite a lot particularly after Trump lawyer Don McGahn left after a perfunctory short remarks. The doors were closed and locked after McGahn left.

Before that Washington insider Fred Barnes was the keynote speaker, and said that while he is not a “Never Trumper,” he knew that many in the room were. He said that Trump must make many changes to his policies if he hopes to unite the party. Barnes was over heard chortling that Trump was a “buffoon” at the cocktail party.

A smaller group huddled to discuss the Rules Committee of the RNC: Larry Levy, RNLA Chairman and a partner of Rudy Guiliani; Randy Evans, RNLA Chairman and national committeeman from GA; John Ryder, General Counsel of the Republican National Committee and Jim Bopp of Citizens United fame and a national committeeman from IN and former RNC Vice-Chairman. I know these guys. Bopp is a patriot but the others are insiders. They blurted out their plan of attack.

Evans alluded to something Congressman Trey Gowdy said the previous morning at the conference, about the importance Republicans place on “process.” It is true, of course, that Republicans care a great deal about the rule of law, Constitutional due process and so on. But what Evans meant is something completely different- and sinister. He said “process” is extremely important to Republicans, lawyers and thus all of us. Evans said that “process IS important,” and urged the crowd of GOP lawyers that “there is NO SUCH THING as a presumptive nominee.” Evans bluntly made the point that Trump has not won the nomination, Evans went on to say that there are many delegates in the “Never Trump” crowd and that many convention delegates will be so-minded. He also said that Speaker Paul Ryan is in this camp and that Ryan is always on the Rules Committee, and will be the Chair of the Convention in Cleveland. Evans reminded the attorneys present that the convention is governed not by Robert’s Rules of Order, but by the Rules of the House and asked rhetorically whether Trump could have someone at the convention who knows House rules as well as speaker Ryan.

Evans went on to “guarantee” there would be challenges to Trump’s delegates who were from states whose delegates were not exclusively chosen by Republicans. Evans said that the challenges would be brought before the Credentials Committee, and that their ruling would come to the floor as the very first order of business. He then pointed out that Trump needs 1237 votes to win any vote, not merely a majority of those present and voting. He rhetorically asked the audience what would happen if 100, or 200, or more, delegates and their alternates could be persuaded to stay at their hotel that morning.

I predicted all this on Infowars.com months ago. The lobbyist class fueled by the donor class with their multi-national interests fear Trump’s nationalism. They will never try to stop him. The Trump juggernaut must be ready for this assault.

Evans even speculated as to what would happen if a motion were brought in the Rules Committee to make it such that only a person from Texas could be nominated on the floor. He wasn’t suggesting this, he made clear, he said he was merely illustrating that there are many, many ways “Never Trump” forces could stop Trump. Another panelist said that Lindsey Graham would be at the convention, and that he is still looking for a role to play.

The other speakers echoed this theme, although Jim Bopp warned that if Evans’ predictions are true, it could mean the “end of the Republican party.” Few other than Bopp seemed to care. Bopp said that he and Evans had “written” Rule 40B, and that his explicit purpose had been to help Romney avoid a floor fight in 2012. He expects that a motion will be brought in the Rules Committee to amend it predicted that a motion would be brought to unbind all delegates on the first ballot. Bopp did say the party would be destroyed if the maneuver. Nobody gave a shit!

The elites who now run the party that ended slavery are desperate and unhinged, willing to engage in any underhanded legal sophistry and shenanigans to subvert the will of their base voters. Every Republican needs to know about their plans and send support in some form or another to Cleveland to Stop the Steal.

Plotting Jihad in the Poconos—Who the Hell is Fethullah Gulen?

May 10, 2016

Plotting Jihad in the Poconos—Who the Hell is Fethullah Gulen? Accuracy in Media, Paul L. Williams, May 10, 2016

Jihad in Poconos

[T]he Gulen schools continue to open at the monumental rate of eight to ten a year throughout the U.S. and leading politicians – – both Democratic and Republicans – – regularly appear at Gulen gatherings to offer their endorsement of the militant imam’s educational endeavors.

********************

Fethullah Gulen is a proponent of stealth jihad. In one of his sermons, the fiery imam said that in order to reach the ideal Muslim society “every method and path is acceptable, [including] lying to people.”

In another  he instructed his followers: “You must move in the arteries of the system without anyone noticing your existence until you reach all the power centers … until the conditions are ripe, they [the followers] must continue like this. If they do something prematurely, the world will crush our heads, and Muslims will suffer everywhere.”

His instructions have been well-heeded.

Gulen’s tentacles now extend into “all the power centers” of the U. S. government, including the Oval Office.

Dalia Mogahed, President Obama’s Muslim advisor, has endorsed the Gulen movement which critics believe seeks to restore the Ottoman Empire and to establish a universal caliphate.

Recently Ms. Mogahed, the first woman to wear a veil in the White House, said: “I think the Gülen movement offers people a model of what is possible if a dedicated group of people work together for the good of the society. I also think that it is an inspiration for other people and Muslims for what they can accomplish.”

Asked about the movement’s hidden agenda, Ms. Mogahed told Sunday’s Zaman, a Turkish newspaper owned by Gulen, that she usually does not attach any importance to such allegations.

Gulen and his millions of minions have helped to topple Turkey’s secular government, establish thousands of madrassahs (Muslim religious schools) throughout Central Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, and form a new country known as East Turkistan, a radical Islamic state.

His schools serve to indoctrinate students in Turkish language, culture and religion so that they may take part in the restoration of the Ottoman Empire.

Nurettin Veren, a top administrator of the Gulen schools says: “These schools are like shop windows. Recruitment and Islamization activities are carried out through night classes.”

Rachel Sharon-Krespin, MEMRI’s chief Turkey analyst, writes: “His (Gulen’s) followers target youth in the eighth through twelfth grades, mentor and indoctrinate them in the ???kevi, educate them in the Fethullah schools, and prepare them for future careers in legal, political, and educational professions in order to create the ruling classes of the future Islamist, Turkish state.”

Over 150 Gulen schools have been established throughout the United States – – and all receive full funding from US taxpayers.

The schools are manned, for the most part, by Turkish administrators and teachers who arrive in the US with H1B visas – – visas for individuals who are needed to occupy positions that cannot be filled by domestic workers. In truth, many of these imported educators teach in subject areas, such as elementary education, where unemployed and fully certified American teachers are standing in the unemployment lines.

Most of the imported Turkish educators are expected to kick-back 60% of their salaries to the Gulen movement.

The Gulen schools are so radical in their political and religious objectives that they have been outlawed in Russia and Uzbekistan.  Even the Netherlands, a nation that embraces pluralism and tolerance, has moved to cut funding to the Gulen schools because of their imminent threat to the social order.

Yet the Gulen schools continue to open at the monumental rate of eight to ten a year throughout the U.S. and leading politicians – – both Democratic and Republicans – – regularly appear at Gulen gatherings to offer their endorsement of the militant imam’s educational endeavors.

The new spokeswomen for the Cosmos Foundation, a non-profit Gulen enterprise that operates thirty-three charter schools in Texas, is Karen Hughes, who previously served as President George W. Bush’s Under-Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy.

Ms. Hughes has declined to state how much money she is receiving for her efforts to further the Gulen schools.

The Texas Education Agency shelled out $68 million in 2010 to the Cosmos Foundation.

Few Texas tax-payers have uttered a word of protest.

Thanks, in part, to friends like Senator Bob Casey, the Gulen movement recently has opened several charter schools in Pennsylvania, including the Young Scholars of Central Pennsylvania in State College, the now-failing Truebright Science Academy in Philadelphia, and the Young Scholars of Western Pennsylvania in Pittsburgh.

“Moderate” Jordan REFUSES to extradite Paris kosher restaurant jihad slaughterers

Moderate” Jordan REFUSES to extradite Paris kosher restaurant jihad slaughterers

ByPamela Geller on May 9, 2016

Source: “Moderate” Jordan REFUSES to extradite Paris kosher restaurant jihad slaughterers | Pamela Geller

These are the “moderate Muslims” everyone points to as the “answer” to the jihad movement in Islam. I say what’s the difference? One acts the other enables.

There would be a bloody revolt in the Muslims world if Jordan didn’t allow the Muslim terrorists behind the attack to walk free. Islamic Jew hatred – it’s in the Quran.

“Jordan won’t extradite Paris kosher restaurant attack suspects,” INN, Feb 10,  2016:(thanks to Lookman):

French terror victims’ group ‘astounded’ as Jordanian gov’t uses technicality to allow terrorists behind 1982 attack to walk free.

Jordan has rejected an extradition request from France for two suspects accused of carrying out a 1982 deadly attack on a Jewish restaurant in Paris, a judicial source said Wednesday.

The alleged mastermind of the attack, which killed six people and wounded 22 others, Zuhair Mohamad al-Abassi, 62, was arrested in Jordan last year.

The request was rejected because at the time of his arrest an extradition deal between Jordan and France had not entered into force, the source said.

The deal was signed in 2011 but became effective only in July last year, after Abassi, also known as Amjad Atta, was released on bail.

Jordan has also refused to hand over a second suspect, Nizar Tawfiq Hamada, 54, because the statute of limitations concerning the criminal allegations against him expired, the source said.

The decision was taken in October, four months after French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius urged Jordan to “respect international procedure” by extraditing Abbasi and Hamada.

David Pere, a lawyer for the AFVT association that represents French victims of terrorism, said he was “astounded” by the Jordanian decision.

“We were expecting the Jordanian authorities to send a strong message in the fight against terrorism,” Pere said.

He said Amman’s decision not to extradite the pair was a “political” one aimed at “keeping social peace in Jordan.”

A French judiciary source said Paris was “not surprised” by the decision.

The attack on the Chez Jo Goldenberg Jewish restaurant – in the popular Marais district of Paris – began around midday on August 9, 1982 when a grenade was tossed into the dining room.

Two men then entered the restaurant, which had around 50 customers inside, and opened fire with “WZ-63” Polish-made machine guns. They also shot at passers-by as they escaped.

Between three and five men are thought to have taken part in the attack, which was blamed on the Palestinian terrorist group Fatah Revolutionary Council, also known as the Abu Nidal Organization.

Two other suspects have been named as Mahmoud Khader Abed Adra, alias Hicham Harb, who lives in Ramallah in Samaria, and Walid Abdulrahman Abu Zayed, alias Souhail Othman, a resident of Norway.

Munich Jihad: Devout Muslim SCREAMING ‘ALLAHU AKBAR’ KILLS one and STABS several in bloody rampage

The reportage on this horror shows how little the media and political elites understand of the threat. First off, there are no “lone” jihadis — these are Muslim soldiers in the global jihad. And there are millions of jihadis all over the world who are all following the same playbook – the Quran – and the same ideology – Islam.

Secondly, “authorities working to identify the knifeman believe the his motive may have been ‘political.’”  It’s not political it’s religious, although under Islam religious and political are the same thing. But the authorities do not even begin to understand that aspect of Islam.

“Munich terror: Lone ‘jihadi’ knifeman kills one and injures several in bloody rampage,” By Rebecca Perring, The Express, May 10, 2016

A KNIFEMAN screaming “Allahu Akbar” has killed one and injured several passengers after he went on a bloody rampage at a train station in Grafing near Munich.

German police say witnesses said the knife-wielding man shouted “Allahu Akbar” (“God is great”) during his rampage at a railway station in the Bavarian town of Grafing, Munich.

One of the victims was initially in a critical condition, but died later in hospital following the the attack at 5am (4am GMT), according to reports.

Police said of the three surviving victims, one is said to be seriously hurt.

The knifeman was caught a few feet away from the station entrance and is now in custody.

The station has been sealed off.

Eyewitnesses said the man stabbed indiscriminately and also attacked a newspaper delivery stand.

Rescue helicopters and ambulances scrambled to the scene and passengers were forced to enter through a side entrance.

Authorities working to identigy the knifeman believe the his motive may have been “political”.

Conflicting media reports have identified the young man as both an asylum seeker and a radicalised German-born who converted to Islam.

Bavarian Radio broadcast said that the knifeman was a “young German not previously known to police.”

The mayoress of Grafing, Angelika Obermayr, said: “The idea that people go on a beautiful morning go into the S-Bahn station or sell newspapers there and then become victims of a madman is just terrible.”

Israel turns 68 with 8.5 million people, 10 times more than in 1948

On the eve of Israel’s 68th birthday, the country’s population stands at 8,522,000, according to figures released Monday by the Central Bureau of Statistics.

There are 6,377,000 Jewish Israelis, 74.8% of the total population, and 1,771,000 Arab Israelis, 20.8% of the population, the bureau said. Christians, non-Arabs, and other minority groups account for 374,000 people, or 4.4% of the population.

By comparison, the nascent State of Israel had a population of just 806,000 in 1948.

Israel’s Independence Day begins with celebrations on Wednesday night, as the country transitions from Memorial Day — 24 hours of mourning for its fallen soldiers and terror victims.

In the 12 months since last Independence Day, the population increased by 182,000 people, a growth of 2.2%, the CBS said. During that period, 195,000 babies were born, 47,000 people passed away and some 36,000 new immigrants arrived in Israel. There are also some 192,000 foreigners in the country, based on figures from 2014.

Among the Jewish population, 75% are Israeli-born, of whom more than half are at least second-generation Israelis. In 1948, however, just 35% of the Jews living in Israel were born in pre-state Palestine.

In 1948, there was only one city in Israel that had more than 100,000 residents — Tel Aviv. Today, there are 14 cities with more than 100,000 residents and eight cities that have a population of 200,000 or more — Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Rishon Lezion, Petah Tikva, Ashdod, Netanya, and Beersheba.

The bureau also touted growing affluence in the country since the Jewish state’s salad days, noting that while there were 34,103 cars tooting about in 1951, in 2014 there were 2,965,727 clogging Israel’s roadways.

Similarly, while in 1956/1957 only 12 percent of Israelis had washing machines, today 96% do.

About the same number of people have cell phones today, while in 1963, only 13% had a phone line.

At the current rate of growth, by 2035 the population of Israel will reach 11.3 million people, the CBS estimated.

Obama Admin Under Pressure for Lax Approach to Terror Financers

Obama Admin Under Pressure for Lax Approach to Terror Financers Treasury Dept. pressed to cut off foreign funders of terror

BY:
May 10, 2016 5:00 am

Source: Obama Admin Under Pressure for Lax Approach to Terror Financers

The Obama administration is facing criticism over what some lawmakers say is an overly permissive attitude toward terrorism financing by foreign nations, according to new congressional communication obtained by the Washington Free Beacon that presses U.S. officials to hold these nations accountable for enabling terror.

Congressional sources and experts accused the administration of going soft on Middle Eastern allies such as Qatar that are known to be chief financiers of global terrorism movements like al Qaeda and Hamas, according to conversations with sources.

The permissive environment has allowed these countries to continue receiving vast amounts of U.S. taxpayer aid while facilitating the transfer of money to rogue terror entities, some of which are currently designated by the United States as global terrorists, according to these sources.

Some Obama administration officials welcome Qatar’s role as an emissary to these terrorist groups, according to conversations described by sources to the Free Beacon.

In the latest bid to force the administration to crack down on this behavior, Sen. Mark Kirk (R., Ill.) petitioned the Treasury Department on Tuesday to adopt a more aggressive stance against Qatar’s terror financing, according to a letter sent to the administration and obtained by the Free Beacon.

Qatar, which is home to a major U.S. military base, has benefited from billions of dollars in arms deals with America. Yet it also enjoys close relations with Hamas, which has received billions of dollars in support from Qatar.

Kirk is pressing the administration to use its leverage to force Qatar to break ties with its global terror allies. The senator also is requesting that the administration outline the steps it has taken to stop this behavior.

“For over a decade, the Qatari government has displayed leniency and negligence toward individuals who support and finance ISIS, its predecessor Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), and other terrorist groups,” Kirk wrote in a letter to Treasury Secretary Jack Lew. “If Qatar’s permissiveness continues, it will further fuel terrorism both regionally and worldwide.”

“I therefore urge the Administration to press the Qatari government to stop the operations of terrorism supporters and financiers within its territory, and to comply fully with” international agreements mandating that Qatar cut all ties with terror financiers, Kirk wrote.

“To this day, terrorist financiers—including those designated by the United States and the United Nations—continue to enjoy such impunity in Qatar,” Kirk notes in the letter.

While the Obama administration has admitted Qatar continues to fund terrorism, critics such as Kirk maintain that officials have done little to rectify the situation.

David Cohen, former treasury undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, acknowledged in a 2014 speech that at least two Qatari terror funders have yet to be prosecuted by the government.

Several other supporters of al Qaeda also have been designated as terrorists by the United States but appear to still be operating with immunity in Qatar, according to information disclosed by Kirk.

At least one of the individuals, Khalifa Muhammad Turki al-Subaiy, was caught raising money online as recently as April of this year.

“I am disturbed to see the Qatari Government has apparently taken no significant action against” these funders, Kirk wrote. “Indeed, both terrorist financiers reportedly remain at large.”

“Unless the United States convinces all of our coalition partners, including Qatar, to do all they can to eliminate sources of terrorist financing, our collective efforts will continue to address the symptoms of international terrorism without effectively dealing with one of its root causes,” Kirk wrote.

Jonathan Schanzer, a former terrorism finance analyst at the Treasury Department, told the Free Beacon that there are some U.S. officials who approve of Qatar’s actions.

“Remarkably, some officials have told me that they like having Qatar serve as an intermediary between the U.S. and jihadi groups,” Schanzer said.

“Qatar has long used its hosting of crucial U.S. military facilities as a means to offset the fact that it is also host to terrorist figures from Hamas, the Taliban, and a range of jihadist groups in Syria,” Schanzer explained. “Successive administrations have accepted this situation and refuse to demand that Doha change its policies. Similarly, successive administrations have refused to demand that Qatar bring known financiers to justice who have found shelter on Qatari soi

Wealthy Cruz and Bush Donors Dump Millions Into Hillary Clinton’s Campaign

Wealthy Cruz and Bush Donors Dump Millions Into Hillary Clinton’s Campaign

Source: Wealthy Cruz and Bush Donors Dump Millions Into Hillary Clinton’s Campaign

That didn’t take long.

Cruz donor James Simons, who donated over a million dollars to Ted’s failed campaign, has begun pouring millions into Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

Bush family donors are also donating to Hillary Clinton – the only establishment candidate left in the race.
The Observer reported:

Renaissance Technologies, a hedge fund founded by billionaire James Simons, donated over $13 million to Sen. Ted Cruz’s failed presidential campaign. For a guy who’s supposed to be pretty smart with his money, the ROI on that one has got to sting. Nevertheless, now that Mr. Cruz is out of the race, Mr. Simons has begun pouring millions of dollars into Hillary Clinton‘s campaign, with Renaissance Technologies donating over $2 million to Ms. Clinton so far this election cycle. Euclidean Capital—also owned by Mr. Simons—has given the Clinton campaign over $7 million in contributions, and such figures are likely to increase as Ms. Clinton slowly transitions her attention from Democratic Primary opponent Bernie Sanders to the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump.

Mr. Simons isn’t the only wealthy donor making the move. A number of deep-pocketed elite have given up trying to buy off Republican politicians in order to support Ms. Clinton—the only establishment-friendly candidate of either party remaining in the race. In response, the Clinton campaign has assembled a group dubbed “Republicans for Hillary” to reach wealthy GOP donors. Ms Clinton not only shares over 60 of the same donors with the former Republican candidate Jeb Bush but is also making new efforts to court additional Bush family donors, according to a recent Politico report.
