Hezbollah Working with Cartels
Fox News.com ^ | February 21, 2011 | Adam Housely

As if the threat of deadly drug cartels in Mexico wasn't enough, some of them are joining forces with Middle East terror groups.

"Hezbollah are absolute masters at identifying existing smuggling infrastructures," says former DEA Chief of Operations Mike Braun, adding that the group "is developing relations with those responsible for operating those smuggling operations and then forming close relations with them, so that they can move anything they have an interest into virtually anywhere in the world." That comment comes from former DEA Chief of Operations Mike Braun. He goes on to tell me that the Middle East terror group is "rubbing shoulders" with drug cartels around the globe.

My military and Department of Homeland Security contacts are insistent...it's not if Hezbollah operatives have been smuggled into the U.S....but how many? They note that drug tunnels are becoming much more sophisticated and striking similar as tunnels being used by terror organizations to smuggle weapons into the Gaza Strip. My contacts also say they have real concern that bombing techniques used in the Middle East to promote terror are now also being used inside Mexico, as the cartels war with each other and anyone in their way.

This comes as Mexican authorities busted a senior Hezbollah operative who employed Mexicans nationals with family ties to Lebanon to set up the network, designed to target Israel and the West, according to multiple reports. The man's name is Jameel Nasr and he was arrested after a Mexican surveillance operation revealed that he traveled frequently to Lebanon to receive information and instructions from Hezbollah commanders and he also spent several months in Venezuela working with the terror group and Hugo Chavez's people.

Hezbollah also is said to be providing logistical support for THESE NEW FANCY DRUG SUBS:

This was no rickety, super-low boat ok? This suckah ran completely underwater, had diesel-electric, periscope, air-conditioning —the WORKS.

For now it’s still drugs, sure. What type of haul will be next...?

I mean why EXACTLY would Hez get so generous, you know?

YOU KNOW.

I can’t help but wonder if other Islamist groups have done the same thing.

Muslim Jihad the Mexican way....

http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/2011/02/muslim-jihad-mexican-way.html

Latinos are converting to Islam in record numbers. They march in our streets together demanding ‘justice’ and rights for their illegal invading brethren.
Mexican smugglers are bringing in terrorists over our unprotected southern border. Border agents find Muslim prayer rugs and books along with publications pushing Jihad and now this.

Now, keep in mind as you read the following announcement, that racist outfits like LULAC, LaRaza, Maldef operate on YOUR tax dollars....Not to mention big contributions by Fannie Mae, AARP, Goldman sachs, A bunch of outfits we bailed out....

We are financing our own demise! WAKE UP AMERICA!

One of the speakers above, Benigno “Benny” Diaz, Jr., from Garden Grove, California, is a Latino community leader Born in Lima, Peru. Along with 12 brothers and sisters, he came here illegally, getting the bonus of the 1986 AMNESTY.

More ‘community organizers’ form every day to promote amnesty and change our republic to just another 3rd world jihad salad bowl.

Latino American Dawah Organization (LADO)

Since its beginning in 1997, LADO has been an organization committed to promoting Islam among the Latino community within the United States. We focus on educating Latinos about Islam as a way of life. We also educate Latinos and others about the legacy of Islam in Spain and Latin America as well as about the growing Latino Muslim community in the United States. While adhering to our guiding principles, we accomplish our mission through an array of programs, services, and publications. For example, we provide free information about Islam to all interested parties.

Our goal is to provide the most relevant information and resources. Alhamdulillah (All praise is due to God), many Latinos are embracing Islam. Some feel that they are reclaiming their Islamic heritage. What is Islam? Who is a Muslim?

“¡Puro Latino! ¡Puro Islam! ¡A su LADO!”

VIVA JIHAD~ AY! CARUMBA!

In Yorba Linda Sunday February 13th

A wave of 1,500 American Patriots arrived early outside the Community Center in Yorba Linda to express their concern over the Muslim Brotherhood linked ICNA holding a fundraiser. The fundraising event featured two radical Imams as the speakers. Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombings. And Amir Abdel Malik-Ali a self professed supporter of Hezbollah. Malik just a month ago gave the closing speech at the MSA Western Conference at UCLA. He ended his speech by asking everyone to rise and join him in the pledge of allegiance. Here is his rendition of the pledge of allegiance which he recited.

* Allah is my Lord
* Islam is my Life
* The Quran is my guide
* The Sunna is my practice
* Jihad is my Spirit
* Righteousness is my Character
* Paradise is my Goal
* I enjoin what is Right
* I forbid what is Wrong
* I will fight against Oppression

That’s just plain scary.

May God help us!

The border must be sealed ASAP since our national security depends on that....

I have seen photos of prayer rugs & Ourans found on the most popular routes for illegals.

Of all people to tell me personally Hizbollah was in the cartel business was a drug runner that I sort of made an acquaintance maybe two years ago having dropped off a person at the home. I was invited for a beer, rarely drink but decided to check the hooch as it was in burrowed part of the mountains up here. never seen such a hic pile, thought it was a condemned home, reaked of mold, stale beer, and poop. Anyway, I told him he was full of it, and he went off on a full tirade( he was coked out or on meth) waving his arms madly and telling me names and places and how nice they were but deadly, blah blah. He had a running sentence that was maybe a record ten minutes long blathering names, dates, places, loads of dope...oh I wished had a tape recorder but thought it was pure bull; maybe some of it was true but neh.

So he and I didn't get along but I hate drug addicts and dealers;( long story why I was in that home). The guy DID have a truckload of dope, did have a pile of money, thousands, and he did have to be a runner because looking at him I couldn't imagine him holding any kind of other job.

Sadly, I guess his story was true. Never saw him again; never wanted to, the home is still there, still probably a drug "safe house." I suppose. No idea. Strange, if Hizbollah is involved, well, I do wonder when one of them subs it's stacked with C-4 or dynamite and goes kablooey somewhere. Man i hope not.
