Former CIA Officer: ‘A Lot of Communication’ Between ISIS, Mexican Cartels
Breitbart ^ | 08/21/2014 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 08/21/2014 9:52:52 AM PDT by Rusty0604

Former CIA covert operations officer Mike Baker said that he believes there is “a lot of communication” between ISIS and Mexican drug cartels given past efforts by al Qaeda to do likewise on Thursday’s “Laura Ingraham Show.”

“We’ve had good intel over the years about al Qaeda, about their efforts to coordinate with, as an example, Mexican cartels...in an effort to try to exploit our southern border” he reported, adding that a terrorist group like ISIS “absolutely” knows about the lack of security on the border.

Baker stated he believes there is “a lot of communication” between ISIS and drug cartels. And “the cartels are a business ... if there’s a revenue stream they can exploit, then they will, and the extremists understand that.”

Since the DO”J” armed the Mexican cartels to kill LEO
on BOTH sides of the border, WHEN did Holder and the DO”J”
learn they were also arming al Qaeda and ISIS?

Why did they not care?

Would the cartels really seek to disrupt their income from the USA customers of their “products”? They are violent and morally repulsive, but they aren’t stupid.

If *we* knew this was all coming, then it’s a certainty Obama Rasheb has known it, planned for it, and scheduled his golf game around it.

And, the Republican Party does not care.

I wait to be convinced that “our” presumed candidates even care and to what measurable extent if they do care beyond the ho-hum rhetoric, except for Jeff Sessions, but he isn’t even pretending an interest in running.

Connection to normal 'aliens' pings may be tenuous at best, but here she is. We've discussed terrorists crossing our borders - north and south - for years.

I fear, like many Americans, that our Country is already loaded with these ISIS terrorists and the hit will come soon. This Administration seems not to care and they have just walked across the unprotected border. We are in a shi! load of trouble and the fear is 9/11 will be nothing compared to these hits and may come all at once.

No surprise as our southern border is wide open. It would be next to nothing to smuggle a nuke across the border given the current state of border security.

I think all of the 911 terrorists were Saudi, and most of them had overstayed student visas. So GWB bombed Iraq. Go figure.

Not in the best interest of the drug cartels to have ISIS blow up their customer base.
IMO the cartels are in communication with the USA to turn the terrorist over which is a benefit to all parties except the terrorist.

Speaking to your post, I distinctly recall several interviews by Michael Savage with an elected representative (cannot remember his name) who specifically said that no less than 20 major cities have terrorists already in place with nuclear suitcases or briefcases or whatever those mini nukes are kept in. This was in the early to mid 2000’s.

After a couple of times on the radio I never heard of him again nor did I hear anyone mention it either.

Either it all was untrue or he was silenced. Methinks it was the latter.

Holder can send Mexican Cartels more guns (without tracers) so they can share arms with ISIS... maybe from the Lone Wolf Sting Gun shop?

Even if we had a POTUS who cared there wouldn’t be much that you can do, given that not even the best and brightest can actually read minds, but given our current one cares more about a good party or golf game, well, were in deep trouble.

But as far as I am concerned, terrorists can get into the U.S. easily by say posing as an immigrant.

REFERENCE Federal outreach to Muslim-American communities is a pillar of Obama counter-terrorism strategy
Washington post | 5/25/2013 | ap / FR Posted by tobyhill

Within hours of the Boston Marathon blasts, US government officials and Muslims in Boston called each other to offer assistance. These calls were the fruits of years of cultivating such relationships in an effort to ultimately prevent the very type of attack Boston experienced April 15....

Representatives from the US Departments of Justice and Homeland Security called to offer support to Muslim communities......just in case THEY suffered backlash or threats. (more on FR).

<><> the tax-exempt Clinton Global Initiative had employed an active Muzzie terrorist named Gehad el-Haddad ( Gehad is Farsi for "jihad")

Gehad also knows how the Muslim Brotherhood launders money to finance terrorism, using "tax-exempt foundations."

Obama admin unilaterally changes law to allow immigrants
with 'limited' terror contact into US
The Daily Caller
| 2/5/14 / FR Posted by Nachum

The Obama administration has issued new exemptions to a law that bars certain asylum-seekers and refugees who provided “limited material support” to terrorists who are believed to pose no threat from the U.S.

The Department of Homeland Security and the State Department published the new exemptions Wednesday in the Federal Register to narrow a ban in the Immigration and Nationality Act excluding refugees and asylum seekers who had provided limited material support, no matter how minor, to terrorists.

“These exemptions cover five kinds of limited material support that have adversely and unfairly affected refugees and asylum seekers with no tangible connection to terrorism: material support that was insignificant in amount or provided incidentally in the course of everyday social, commercial, family or humanitarian interactions, or under significant pressure,” a DHS official explained to The Daily Caller.

Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson and Secretary of State John Kerry signed the exemptions. DHS contends that the law change is “commonsense” and that immigration procedures will remain the same in other respects. (Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...

Muslim Killer on US Disability and Food Stamps secreted Diamonds and 200 Credit Cards
Front Page Magazine ^ | 6/20/2014 | Daniel Greenfield /FR Posted by Dqban22

This sort of thing is surprisingly common. The only reason it has come to light is because the Muslim settler committed two murders, one of which he actually got away with. The Point has discussed the murder of Gelareh Bagherzadeh before.

Gelareh Bagherzadeh was an Iranian Christian who came to this country only to be murdered by a Muslim because she encouraged his daughter to marry the Christiaan man she loved. He was too disabled to work. But not too disabled to kill. The father, a strict Muslim, was furious when his Jordanian-American daughter married a man without his permission.

Ali Mahwood-Awad Irsan blamed his daughter’s husband, relatives say. They say he also faulted one of her closest friends, 30-year-old Gelareh Bagherzadeh, a Christian convert who widely denounced Islam. First Bagherzadeh was killed, gunned down outside her parents’ Galleria townhouse complex in January 2012.

Eleven months later, Irsan’s son-in-law died after being shot multiple times in the northwest Harris County apartment he shared with his wife. And Ali thought he could get away with it because he had already gotten away with so many other things. Federal authorities executed a search warrant at Irsan’s sprawling, 5-acre property 40 miles north of Houston, where they allegedly found cash, diamonds, pearls, weapons and phony passports hidden in attic rafters, in secret compartments throughout a cluster of trailers and outbuildings and even inside the buried drum of a clothes dryer at the Conroe property.

Irsan, his wife Shmou Ali Alrawabdeh, and another daughter were subsequently arrested on a variety of federal fraud charges and are in federal custody.

A federal criminal complaint detailing the discoveries recounts a saga of nearly 20 years in which the 57-year-old naturalized citizen from Jordan and his family allegedly scammed taxpayer disability assistance funds claiming “fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptoms,” and “affective disorders” while secreting real estate, vehicles and cash in U.S. and foreign bank accounts.

The complaint also alleges Irsan was receiving taxpayer funds for a son not living in the U.S., maintained several addresses on the property to facilitate various schemes and once disabled a safety feature on a saw then purposefully cut himself to receive a $75,000 settlement. Ali was certainly industrious and entrepreneurial, just not quite in the way amnesty advocates like to claim.

Also found on the property was a makeshift gun range, which witnesses said “five or six Muslim families” frequently visited to fire AK-47s and information about Irsan’s attempts to get a silencer. Nothing to do with Islam I’m sure.

The rest of the scam ...... While there have been no allegations of terrorist ties regarding the family’s alleged foreign bank accounts and suspicious wire transactions, Irsan’s strict adherence to radical Islam may have been a motive in the alleged murders.Authorities are also re-examining a 1999 case in which Irsan was not indicted after claiming self-defense in the shooting of son-in-law Amjad Alidam, who was married to Nasemah Rachelle Irsan. And that’s not all.

Prosecutors also revealed, in connection to the social security fraud and credit card charges against Irsan, that they found more than 200 credit cards with various names and multiple variations of his own name throughout the Irwin Keel home. Arresting officers say they also found more than 40 similar credit cards in his wallet the morning he was arrested.

His daughter also alleges, among multiple other schemes detailed in court documents, that Ali Irsan purposely disabled the safety device on a Ryobi rotary saw and purposely cut his own foot. Prosecutors say he used that injury to receive a $75,000 settlement from the manufacturer.
