Governors' National Security Meeting "Surreal"

National Security Meeting "Surreal"


The Northeast Intelligence Network is reporting that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and John Brennan, Barack Hussein Obama's Deputy National Security Adviser for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, spoke at the National Governors Association's Special Committee on Homeland Security and Public Safety in Washington last Sunday.  A close aide to one of the longtime governors in attendance, who was present for much of this meeting, spoke to this investigator about the oddities that she noted at this event, asking that her name not be used due to the sensitivity of her job.

She described a strange and "almost surreal" usage of terms, phrases and jargon that dominated their presentations to the governors, and noted an obviously deliberate avoidance of other more specifically accurate terms that seemed to obscure their messages.

"During both of their presentations… the best way that I can explain it, it was like listening to a teacher in health class giving a lecture about sex to a pre-teen, yet prohibited from or unwilling to use certain proper anatomical terms or even the necessary anatomical references," she stated, adding that both Napolitano and Brennan were very careful to avoid using words and phrases that in any way associated terror concerns with Islam or Islamic ideology.  Although she did not recall the prominent use of "man-caused disasters" in place of terrorism by either speaker, she noted their obvious unwillingness to make any references to Islamic terrorism in their descriptions of recently disrupted terror plots.

For example, this source described Napolitano talking about Najibullah Zazi, a 24-year-old, Afghan-born Muslim resident of Denver and a follower of al Qaeda.  Zazi, who pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction on Monday, was identified by federal authorities as a key player in what has been described as the most serious terror plot since 9/11.  Investigators found evidence that Zazi was motivated to kill and injure Americans based on of his beliefs in Islamic jihad.

Napolitano instead described him generically as a "domestic extremist" and "never once used the phrase Islamic terrorism" or made any reference to Islam, jihad, or the ideology and mechanism that motivated Zazi and his co-conspirators to plot attacks in New York, according to this source.  Rather, Napolitano spoke of the "need to study and analyze the motivation behind these extremists, something that I thought should have been quite obvious based on the amount and type of evidence uncovered in that case, especially when speaking to a body of governors," stated this source.

"I would characterize their entire presentation as quite bizarre to say the least," she added.

John Brennan, who spoke of the five Pakistani natives living in Virginia who traveled to al Qaeda training camps in Pakistan, was equally circuitous in his presentation.  He specifically referred to a general concern of 'Americans' becoming 'domestic terrorists,' a phrase that seemed to intentionally include all Americans and not any particular group.  "Both seemed to purposely include all Americans while refusing to cite any nationality or ideology, which is something I found troubling in light of recent historical events," stated this source.

"I could not believe that Mr. Brennan used the generic reference 'non-governmental organization' in place of actually naming the Council on American Islamic Relations, the 'Islamic advocacy' group to which he was referring.  Also, the term 'religious leader' was used frequently when describing a Muslim imam associated with a terror plot, and 'religious institutions' were used instead of mosques even when it was clear those were being specifically referenced.

"The entire presentation seemed quite 'strained' and an obvious departure from previous meetings I've attended," she added.

"never once used the phrase Islamic terrorism"

Attaching the 'Islamic' label might offend her boss, one Hussein 0bamao.

Well, on the positive side, at least the meeting was not focused on how to find, disarm, detain, round up, and kill regular Americans.

They don't want to go after Islamic terrorists. Islamic terrorists are their allies, they hate America just like the Obama people do and they are both working together to weaken and destroy it. They want to target ordinary Americans and take away their rights, their freedoms and their livelihoods.

By the way this is the same John Brennan who illegally accessed Obamas passport files and removed all the embarrassing information.

Its also not very useful if the intent is to blur the line between real Islamic terrorists and determined crtics of this administration.

"Domestic extremist" fits that bill.

Yes, but, isn’t “domestic extremist” a catch all phrase? No pun intended.

Those fundamentalist Presbyterian potential domnestic terrorists could realy sneak up on you, if you’re not keeping an eye on “all potential” terrorist organizations. And those fundamentalist Catholics, they are just able to stay under the terrorist watch radar, but ya gotta be prepared for anything.

But those Liberty Party and Tea Party Folks; now that’s real trouble brewing. Isn’t it obvious they’re poised for violent domestic terrorist action?

Did someone mention “MUSLIM”. How crass and non-PC.

With the 0bamao regime, there is always an alternate agenda running in the background.

What a wonderfully descriptive metaphor that is.

Diversity,multiculturalism and political correctness have done more damage to our Republic than Islamic terrorists could ever dream.

Given that we have Muslim allies in Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen who are quite important to the fight against Al Qaeda and its associates, I don’t mind at all if we don’t label the terrorist threat “Islamic” or “Muslim” so long as we label it “Salafist”, which is the correct term for the sect of Islam represented by Al Qaeda, and is a species of Islam whose adherents are regarded as nut-jobs by our Muslim allies.

The other word to know is “Ta’ajili” which is an adherent of the Shi’ite sect in control of the Iranian kakistocracy, that thinks producing chaos will hasten the return of the Twelfth Imam. As yet we are in a Cold War with the Ta’ajilis, who are also regarded as nut-jobs by our Muslim allies.

I believe the "Council of Governors", or whatever they're calling it, has the lead on developing and implementing *those* plans. It's a smaller group, though there is obviously some overlap with the larger, 57-state governors' meeting.

I'd love to include a sarcasm tag, but...

I believe that that is the focus of the Obama people and that is why they talk about domestic terrorism and not Islamic terrorists. They want to focus their resources on going after patriotic, conservative Americans.

Please read this thread especially post #43 and post #51:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2457203/posts

This certainly confirms what we already know is true... the DHS wants to make the case that american citizens are the terrorists, and the Council of Governors and all those other legislative documents spell absolute DANGER for all of us.

The executive orders and legislative instruments are in place.

Scary. Very scary. The worst part is that none of the politicians will speak out about this.

The other point I made in an earlier post is that John Brennan, who is in charge of this, was the one who illegally accessed Obama’s passport file and removed all the embarrassing/incriminating information. The link is at an earlier post.

Excellent summaries. Thanks for pointing them out.

Keep fighting the good fight.
