As with virtually every column Clarice Feldman writes, this is another piece which presents information that has not been widely disseminated to the general public. For what reason perhaps can never be known for certain.
Some are likely to suggest that the reason is that Ms. Feldman’s “information” is of dubious fact or relevancy because of her clear biases against Democrats, liberals in general, or even “good” Muslims.
Others may claim, rightfully we believe, Feldman’s information, if widely reported or published would have an explosive effect on public debate. Factual, well-sourced, and always fully documented, Ms. Feldman reveals just how dangerous is the intent and reach of the left worldwide and especially in the United States. Her reporting draws on some of the best and most credible news and opinion sources available anywhere.
At Veritaspac we realize that, for the most part, our readers are part of “the choir”…conservatives and libertarians who share a strong conservative view and tend to be considerably more informed than the average American.
But we suggest that Ms. Feldman is a source of critical information which needs to be heeded and absorbed and wherever possible offered to the widest audience possible, to liberals and conservatives, Republicans and Democrats alike.
In today’s column Feldmann has presented a piece full of un- or little known facts and revelations. Here are a few that struck us and tends to confirm some of the free world’s worst fears (warning!, these excerpts are somewhat lengthy but do not represent all of the key points in Feldman’s full column :
You Cannot Support Israel’s Existence (and Ours) and Vote Democratic This Election
by Clarice Feldman
The kerfuffles over the caucus served as cover for the fact that the administration’s foreign and domestic policies render ourselves and our allies increasingly powerless to combat Islamic terrorism, and neither of the Democratic candidates is likely to alter that or the president’s patent anti-Israel approach in any substantial measure.
The evidence of the administration’s tilt and recklessness grows.
The most shocking evidence comes from Philip Haney writing for the Hill. Haney, a longtime Department of Homeland Security employee charged that he and others working there were ordered in November 2009 to destroy raw material intelligence needed to keep us safe.”
Just before that Christmas Day attack, in early November 2009, I was ordered by my superiors at the Department of Homeland Security to delete or modify several hundred records of individuals tied to designated Islamist terror groups like Hamas from the important federal database, the Treasury Enforcement Communications System (TECS).
These types of records are the basis for any ability to “connect dots.” Every day, DHS Customs and Border Protection officers watch entering and exiting many individuals associated with known terrorist affiliations, then look for patterns. Enforcing a political scrubbing of records of Muslims greatly affected our ability to do that. Even worse, going forward, my colleagues and I were prohibited from entering pertinent information into the database. . . .
As the number of successful and attempted Islamic terrorist attacks on America increased, the type of information that the Obama administration ordered removed from travel and national security databases was the kind of information that, if properly assessed, could have prevented subsequent domestic Islamist attacks . . .
Haney’s revelation came just days after the president visited a terrorism-linked mosque contrary to the FBI’s suggestion that he not do so. . . .
Among other things during his visit Obama preposterously thanked Moslems and suggested “Islam has always been part of America”. Covering this event, Robert Spencer could hardly contain himself:
When Barack Obama visited the Muslim Brotherhood-linked Islamic Society of Baltimore on Wednesday, he said: “The first thing I want to say is two words that Muslim Americans don’t hear often enough: Thank you.”
While Obama has been President, Muslims have murdered non-Muslims, avowedly in the cause of Islam, at Fort Hood, Boston, Chattanooga, and San Bernardino, and attempted to do so in many, many other places. . . .
But his visit to the Islamic Society of Baltimore was the apotheosis of the Muslim victimhood myth, as he signaled yet again to the world (and worldwide jihadis) that in the U.S., Muslims are victims, victims of unwarranted concern over jihad terror, and thus that concern is likely to lessen even more, as Obama dismantles still more of our counter-terror apparatus.
“We’ve seen children bullied, we’ve seen mosques vandalized,” Obama claimed. “It’s not who we are.
[snip]
In reality, Muslims are not victimized in American society: FBI hate crime statistics show that the hysteria over “Islamophobia” is unfounded, but that matters not at all to Barack Obama. At the mosque, he said: “If we’re serious about freedom of religion — and I’m talking to my fellow Christians who are the majority in this country — we have to understand that an attack on one faith is an attack on all faiths.”
Once again Obama felt free to scold and admonish Christians, but said nothing about Muslims in the U.S. needing to clean house and work for real reform that would mitigate jihad terror. And his premise was false: there is no attempt to restrict Muslims’ freedom of religion. . . .
“Islam,” Obama declared, “has always been part of America.” Really? There were Muslims at Jamestown? In the Massachusetts Bay Colony? At Roanoke? Obama’s statement is so wildly ridiculous that it doesn’t just invite parody; it pleads for it.”
So by Obama’s lights if an attack on one religion is an attack on all religion then the irrefutable truth, that many Muslim nations suppress, indeed attack other religions, means they are attacking “all faiths.” One can recognize a degree of hostility of secular West government (including Obama’s regime) to Christian faith, but there is no moral equivalency in Western nations compared to Muslim nations toward religion.
There are several more revealing parts to the Feldman piece including which political party’s apparat is genuinely supportive of Israel’s security. One interesting note from that is this revelation about Bernie Sanders which fits with his core religion — socialism:
As for Bernie, it turns out there’s a reason he has been vague about just which kibbutz he lived on as a young man before his more obvious anti-Israeli bent (he wanted to deny Israel weapons before the Yom Kippur War, for example) was patent. It was a Stalinist kibbutz that took its cues about Zionism from Moscow, whose ultimate aim was the end of Israel:
Bernie Sanders wasn’t there because he liked Israel. Hashomer Hatzair did not like Israel. It ultimately wanted to destroy it. He was there because he was far left. Perhaps even further left than he has admitted.”
