Where’s President Obama on This Atrocity? (With the Perpetrators—NOT the Victims)
Townhall.com ^ | July 18, 2016 | Humberto Fontova

Posted on 07/18/2016 5:47:01 AM PDT by Kaslin

“We cannot forget the past. That’s what the families of the victims have done. And the United States of America wants to continue to be a partner in your efforts…. Each of us have a responsibility each and every day to make sure that wherever we see injustice, wherever we see rule of law flouted, honest witnesses, that we're speaking out…” (U.S. President Barack Obama, Buenos Aires, Argentina, March 25, 2016.)

Thus recently spoke President Obama regarding the victims (many of them communist terrorists) of a “right-wing” regime. Now when it comes to the families of victims of Castroism? When it comesto the memory of Castroite crimes (exponentially worse than those of the Argentine military junta in the 1970s?)

Well, let’s just say when it comes to the almost 100,000 men, women and children “disappeared” in various forms by the regime that now counts Obama among its top benefactors (i.e. more money flows from the U.S. to Cuba annually under the Obama administration than used to flow from the Soviet union to Cuba during the 1980s)—let’s just say when it comes to recognizing the victims of this mass-murdering, terror-sponsoring regime President Obama’s actions speak much louder than his words did in Argentina. (More like: “Shut up! Sit down! Get over it! You buncha noisy, trouble-making right-wing Cuban-Americans! ”)

But nonetheless, here’s a reminder:

In the predawn darkness of July 13, 1994, 72 desperate Cubans - old and young, male and female - sneaked aboard a decrepit but seaworthy tugboat in Havana harbor and set off for the U.S. and the prospect of freedom.

Let Barack Obama (among dozens of author pundits and politicians) gush about Cuba’s “free and fabulous healthcare.” The people boarding that tug knew better. And for a simple reason: the cruel hand of fate had slated them to live under the Castro brothers’ handiwork.

The lumbering craft cleared the harbor and five foot waves started buffeting the tug. The men sprung to action as the impromptu crew while mothers, sisters and aunts hushed the terrified children, some as young as 1. Turning back was out of the question.

A few miles into the turbulent sea, 30-year-old Maria Garcia felt someone tugging her sleeve. She looked down and it was her 10-year-old son, Juan. "Mami, look!" and he pointed behind them toward shore. "What's those lights?"

"Looks like a boat following us, son," she stuttered while stroking his hair. "Calm down, mi hijo (my son). Try to sleep. When you wake up, we'll be with our cousins in a free country. Don't worry." In fact, Maria suspected the lights belonged to Castro patrol boats coming out to intercept them.

In seconds the patrol boats were alongside the tug and - WHACK!! - with its steel prow, the closest patrol boat rammed the back of the tug. People were knocked around the deck like bowling pins. But it looked like an accident, right? Rough seas and all. Could happen to anyone, right?

Hey, WATCH IT!" a man yelled as he rubbed the lump on his forehead. "We have women and children aboard!" Women held up their squalling children to get the point across. If they'd only known.

This gave the gallant Castroites nice targets for their water cannon. WHOOSH! The water cannon was zeroed and the trigger yanked. The water blast shot into the tug, swept the deck and mowed the escapees down, slamming some against bulkheads, blowing others off the deck into the five-foot waves.

"MI HIJO! MI HIJO!" Maria screamed as the water jet slammed into her, ripping half the clothes off her body and ripping Juan's arm from her grasp. "JUANITO! JUANITO!" She fumbled frantically around her, still blinded by the water blast. Juan had gone spinning across the deck and now clung desperately to the tug's railing 10 feet behind Maria as huge waves lapped his legs.

WHACK! Another of the steel patrol boats turned sharply and rammed the tug from the other side. Then - CRACK! another from the front! WHACK! The one from behind slammed them again. The tug was surrounded. It was obvious now: The ramming was NO accident. And in Cuba you don't do something like this without strict orders from WAY above.

"We have women and children aboard!" The men yelled. "We'll turn around! OK?!"

WHACK! the Castroites answered the plea by ramming them again. And this time the blow from the steel prow was followed by a sharp snapping sound from the wooden tug. In seconds the tug started coming apart and sinking. Muffled yells and cries came from below. Turns out the women and children who had scrambled into the hold for safety after the first whack had in fact scrambled into a watery tomb.

With the boat coming apart and the water rushing in around them, some got death grips on their children and managed to scramble or swim out. But not all. The roar from the water cannons and the din from the boat engines muffled most of the screams, but all around people were screaming, coughing, gagging and sinking.

Fortunately, a Greek freighter bound for Havana had happened upon the scene of slaughter and sped to the rescue. NOW one of the Castro boats threw out some life preservers on ropes and started hauling people in, pretending they'd been doing it all along.

Maria Garcia lost her son, Juanito, her husband, brother, sister, two uncles and three cousins in the maritime massacre. In all, 43 people drowned, 11 of them children. Carlos Anaya was 3 when he drowned, Yisel Alvarez, 4. Helen Martinez was 6 months old.

And all this death and horror to flee from a nation that experienced net immigration throughout the 20th century, where boats and planes brought in many more people than they took out - except on vacation. (Despite what you saw in The Godfather, actually, in 1950, more Cubans vacationed in the U.S. than Americans in Cuba, as befit a nation with a bigger middle class than Switzerland.)

Thirty-one people were finally plucked from the seas and hauled back to Cuba where all were jailed or put under house arrest. They hadn't been through enough, you see. But a few later escaped Cuba on rafts and reached Miami. Hence we have Maria Garcia's gut-wrenching testimony presented to the UN, the OAS and Amnesty International, who all filed "complaints," reports, "protests.”(with the customary results.)

This was obviously a rogue operation by crazed deviants, you say. No government could possibly condone, much less directly order such a thing! Right?

Wrong. Nothing is random in Stalinist Cuba. One of the gallant water-cannon gunners was even decorated (personally) by Castro. Perhaps for expert marksmanship. A 3-year old child presents a pretty small target. A 6-month old baby an even smaller one. "Magnificent job defending the glorious revolution, companero!"

Is Trump going to stop this?

Obama doesn’t care about anything other than pushing the socialist agenda. Heck, he’s buddies with Bill Ayers who to this day is proud of his terrorist actions back in the day that included killing police.

Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan called for murder of police last year in the name of Islam, and he invoked the Quran:

“Death is sweeter than to continue to live and bury our children, while white folks give the killer hamburgers.

“Death is sweeter, than watching us slaughter each other, to the joy of a 400-year-old enemy. Yes, death is sweeter.

“The Quran teaches persecution is worse than slaughter. Then it says, ‘Retaliation is prescribed in matters of the slain.’ Retaliation is a prescription from God, to calm the breast of those whose children have been slain.

“So if the federal government will not intercede in our affairs, then we must rise up and kill those who kill us. Stalk them and kill them and let them feel the pain of death that we are feeling.”

All Muslims are the same!

(There is nothing unique/special about the words "radical Islam", "Nation of Islam," "Isis" !!! It is just "Islam!

Back in 2007-8, as a candidate, Obama was Mr America....said he even wanted to be another Reagan (cue laugh machine).

Heaven only knows what might have been, if only voters could have seem him as he really was, back then.

December 2015--post-San Bernardino killings
CAIR is America’s top enabler of terror
NY POST ^ | December 4, 2015 | Michelle Malkin / FR Posted by COUNTrecount

As news of the San Bernardino jihadist shootings blared on airport TVs, I spotted a TSA monitor flashing the now ubiquitous message: If you SEE something, SAY something. It's one of the emptiest slogans in modern American life. While the White House pays lip service to homeland security vigilance, it consorts with Islamic terror sympathizers who attack vigilant citizens and law enforcement officers at every turn. Yes, I'm looking at you, Council on American-Islamic Relations.

After seeing CAIR's bizarre press conference with the San Bernardino jihadists' family members, here's what I'd like to say to them: You're not to be trusted. You put damage control above border control and jihad control. You're enemies of our national security and sovereignty.

Reminder: The feds designated CAIR an unindicted terror co-conspirator in 2007 in the prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation and others for providing support to Hamas jihadists. Over the alleged objections of Dallas-area federal prosecutors, the Obama Justice Department's senior political appointees declined to press terror-financing charges against CAIR co- founder Omar Ahmad.

Instead, the Obama administration has rolled out the red carpet for CAIR officials hundreds of times since 2009 on a range of issues. (Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...

=============================================

REFERENCE---CAIR: Muslim money-laundering modalities finance global jihad.

The American Freedom Law Center, has been engaged in a long and drawn out lawsuit against CAIR. CAIR has been running a global criminal money laundering operation out of Washington, DC. "The money laundering scheme was discovered in the course of legal discovery in unrelated federal litigation arising out of allegations by five of CAIR's former clients that CAIR defrauded them by failing to provide the legal services they had been promised."

THE MODUS OPERANDI To avoid reporting these millions of dollars from the dubious Islamist sources and to avoid registering as an agent for a foreign sovereign as required by federal law, CAIR created a separate company called CAIR-Foundation, Inc---an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

CAIR itself quit filing federal tax returns from 2008-2010 and allowed the IRS to withdraw its status as a 501(c)(4), converting itself to a regular for- profit corporation.

CAIR also stopped all of its operations and became simply a holding company, transferring, at least on the books, all of its employees and equipment to CAIR Foundation. --snip-- (freedomoutpost.com EXCERPT)

=======================================

TIME FOR CAIR TO OPEN THE BOOKS:

<><> did they wire-transfer Obama's foundations?

<><> did they wire-transfer Valerie Jarrett?

<><> did CAIR wire transfer Obama's library fund?

<><> did CAIR wire-transfer offshore bank accounts?

<><> are offshore accounts linked to Obama's post-presidency?

<><> Did CAIR donate to the Clinton Foundation's do-good activities?

<><> Did CAIR donate to Hillary's campaign?

<><> Did the Clintons get paid for CAIR speaking engagements?

28 Pages of Newly-Released SoS Hillary’s personal emails Suggest
Huma Abedin Was Connected With a Group That Funded Terrorism

BUT OBAMA KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT (cue laugh machine)

A full review of Hillary Clinton’s personal emails released by the State Department finds Clinton’s senior aide, Huma Abedin, was exposed to highly sensitive U.S. government information.

It was Abedin who forwarded to SoS Clinton’s personal email address details about the initial establishment of the U.S. special mission in Benghazi, updates about security threats to both the mission and Ambassador Chris Stevens, intelligence on the growing terrorist threat in Libya and insider information on the Sept. 11, 2012 attack in Benghazi.

Abedin was privy to emails that contained the exact movements of Stevens while he was stationed in arguably one of the most dangerous zones in the world for any American diplomat.

WND previously reported on Abedin’s personal and family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and other to Islamic supremacists.

The connections not only extend to her mother and father, who are both deeply tied to al-Qaida fronts, but to Abedin herself, as WND previously reported in a series of exposés.

While she worked at the State Department, Abedin was also a paid employee at the Clinton-connected Teneo Strategies, a strategic global consulting firm that specializes in investment banking, business intelligence and restructuring services. (Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...

===========================================

REFERENCE Money poured into the Clinton Foundation from various Islamic entities, such as the Muslim Brotherhood. Why was Hillary so brazen---in bed with a terror organization?

Well, money talks and her willingness to be bought off by Islamic groups via the Clinton Foundation was busily kept hidden with her private email accounts. You can bet there's some juicy emails somewhere.

Clinton Foundation employee---Gehad al Haddad (gehad means jihad in Farsi).

GEHAD IS THE CLINTON FOUNDATIONS / MUSLIM TERRORISM CONNECTION --- Foundation employee---a Mulsim terrorist---was working at the Clinton Foundation AND conducting terrorist activities BOTH at the same time.

THIS IS HILLARY'S "SMART POWER" MO: Hillary was hiding Mulsim influence and control over her activities---she pivoted U.S. policy shift away from Mubarak and to Muslim Brotherhood mouthpiece Mohammed Morsi in Egypt.

While Egypt’s Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood were in charge, Obama and then-SOS Hillary showered them with praise. and provided billions of dollars in US monetary aid, US arms, US tanks and US planes.

================================================

THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW---Egypt has unceremoniously thrown the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egyptian politics.... and hasn’t forgotten the support offered to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Egypt has now charged Obama and Hillary Clinton for conspiring and collaborating with the M/B and advancing their terrorist activities.

Egypt tried, convicted and jailed Gehad al Haddad for similar crimes.
