Airport Shooter Converted to Islam, Identified as Aashiq Hammad Years Before Joining Army
Judicial Watch ^ | 1/10/2017 | Judiacial Watch

Posted on 01/11/2017 11:25:28 AM PST by WENDLE

Information is slowly trickling out that links the Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooter to radical Islam while the official story from authorities is that the gunman is a mentally ill, Hispanic Army veteran named Esteban Santiago that became unhinged after a tour in Iraq. Only one mainstream media outlet mentions the possibility of Santiago’s “jihadist identity,” burying it in a piece about New York possibly being his initial target. A paragraph deep in the story mentions that investigators recovered Santiago’s computer from a pawn shop and the FBI is examining it to determine whether he created a “jihadist identity for himself using the name Aashiq Hammad…”

" The reset of the traditional mainstream media coverage promotes the government rhetoric that omits any ties to terrorism even though early on a photo surfaced of Santiago making an ISIS salute while wearing a keffiyeh, a Palestinian Arab scarf" I called this.

The public records uncovered in the days after the massacre suggest Santiago (Hammad) is a radical Islamic terrorist that’s seriously committed to Islam. Besides taking on a Muslim name, he recorded three Islamic religious songs, including the Muslim declaration faith (“there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger”) known as the Shahada. He also posted a thread about downloading propaganda videos from Islamic terrorists on a weapons and explosives forum. The investigative news site that unearthed this disturbing information connected the dots between Santiago, who is of Puerto Rican descent, and Hammad, an identity he created in 2007." I called this.

The MSM cover this up while falling all over themselves to deliver fake news about Trump. But they have not reckoned with the fact that Trump isn’t going to sit back and take it the way the Bushes did.

Hammad was a moslem from day one!!You talk about FAKE news. This crap has got to stop. What motivates the government/media to lie to the American people about this religious WAR ? Are we supposed to just avert our damned gaze while these sunni Jihadist are slaughtering us? That damned Senator Nelson in Florida KNEW THIS!!! He lied to US!!! Where is FOX news on this? I am losing faith in them. How can we fight this if we lie about who is doing this. The son of a bitch has his picture giving the isis Allah salute!! GIVE ME A BREAK!!! Are we so stupid as a nation that we buy this bull crap at face value? Why are they lying to us. Why are there no recrimination for these liars?

Not surprised...I've been reading for some time that the Religion of Pieces has been targeting Puerto Ricans to join their medieval death cult.A logical target,too...US citizens that have a major persecution complex....

Still wondering:

1.Why the name of one of his five deceased victims has been withheld.

2. Why the FBI changed their story regarding the scant amount of time they spent on Santiago’s intake before they dumped him in the lap of the Anchorage PD.

His newborn baby was outside in the car in the FBI parking lot the entire time of the intake in near freezing temperatures. It couldn’t have been more than 5-10 minutes tops. There’s no way that they effectively questioned or researched him and there is no statement that they ever spoke with Santiago again.

The APD held a press conference stating exactly what happened when they were called by the FBI. Later, the FBI changed that story leaving the impression that they had effectively investigated Santiago.

3. His weapon was retrieved from the APD, not the FBI. It appears there was no further contact or follow-up from the FBI on a guy who strolled in talking about terrorism. He lived and worked within a few miles of the FBI office, there’s no excuse.

Alaska is not known as a place crawling with wanna-be terrorists or terrorist cells like other American cities. There should have been plenty of time to research and follow-up.

Because the "Donald Trump Hires Prostitutes" story is front page.

That's the whole point of the "golden shower" story.

The MSM is going to try to keep up the fake news stories for months, maybe years, in order to keep the real news of what happened during the Obama years from overwhelming everything.

You can bet that the next terrorist act will be perpetrated by muzzies, and the next, and the next, and the next....
But each time there will be a long drawn investigation that will reach the same conclusion. If you want the news, go to FR.
