RON KIRK
POSITION: Democrat nominee for US Senator from Texas (open seat), also former mayor of Dallas

CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURE: $1133.22 Senate campaign payroll expense to Steven L. Hyland, Jr.
DETAILS: Hyland is an anti-Israel activist based out of Texas. In a June 23, 1995 editorial for the Daily Texan Hyland wrote "The U.S. government labels Hizbollah and Islamic Jihad as terrorist organizations, but they are really freedom fighters defending their rights in Lebanon and Palestine." Other published writings by Hyland blame Israel for the Palestinian terrorists and liken the Israeli government to Hitler's Germany. Hyland is also a close personal friend of convicted American Taliban John Walker Lindh. He met Lindh during a study abroad program at the Yemen Language Center in 1998 (source).

DONOR: Ishan "Sammy" Elashi
AMMOUNT: $500 on April 24, 1995 to Kirk's Dallas mayoral campaign (source)
DETAILS: Elashi, a radical Islamic activist based out of Richardson, TX, is the owner of Tetrabal Corporation and an affiliate of his family-owned Infocom Corporation, both of which have been shut down by the government from export charges after shipping computer equipment to known terrorist states. Elashi himself was arrested in February as a result of government terrorism investigations. He was indicted on 39 federal counts in April stemming from illegal shipments of electronics, computer hardware, and communications equipments to locations in Syria, Libya, Saudi Arabia, and other locations throughout the Middle East. A number of the shipments occured after an export ban was imposed upon his company during the investigation. The charges included money laundering and the illegal exports he made to known terrorist states. Elashi pled guilty to the charges on June 17, 2002 and faces sentencing this September with a 50 year maximum penalty plus over $1 million in fines. His conviction is listed on the web site of the United States Department of Justice and the United States Commerce Department's Bureau of Export Administration, the agency that enforces export laws pertaining to national security and anti-terrorism matters. Press releases detailing Elashi's guilty plea in anti-terrorism export charges may be found by clicking on the links to both agencies.
        Ishan Elashi's business dealings also extend to Infocom Corporation, in which he is an affiliate and his brother Ghassan Elashi is the principle. Infocom, a former web service provider for almost exclusively Islamic sites ranging from Al Jazeera television to the Holy Land Foundation, was raided last September under an investigation by the government's North Texas Joint Terrorism Task Force (source). Infocom's assets were frozen after it recieved a $250,000 money transfer from Elashi's cousin Nadia Marzook, the wife of Hamas Political Bureau leader Mousa Abu Marzook. Marzook, who is based in Syria, is listed in the leadership section of the Hamas' website at this link. Among the Elashi family members who own Infocom are affiliates of the Islamic Association for Palestine (which was founded by Marzook). Other affiliations of the Elashi's and many other Democrat donors include the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR. The Elashis are also the main officials of the Richardson, TX based Holy Land Foundation - another group that had its assets frozen in a post 9/11 probe. President Bush announced the order against the HLF, which was recently sustained in court, stating the charges against it: "The Holy Land Foundation is registered with the IRS as a tax-exempt charity based in Richardson...Money raised by the Holy Land Foundation is used by Hamas to support schools and indoctrinate children to grow up into suicide bombers." The Holy Land Foundation was also formerly represented by lobbyist John Bryant. Bryant is a former Democrat Congressman from the Dallas area and a supporter and friend of Kirk.

DONOR: Majida M. Salem
AMMOUNT: $100 on April 25, 1995 to Kirk's Dallas mayoral campaign (source)
DETAILS: According to a news report, "The address Salem provided in making his donation [to Kirk] has been linked by federal authorities" to Ghassan Elashi. (source)

DONOR: Mohammed Suleman
AMMOUNT: $50 on May 1, 1995 to Kirk's Dallas mayoral campaign (source)
DETAILS: Suleman is on the board of the Dallas chapter of radical islamic group CAIR. After September 11, Suleman gave support for former Holy Land Foundation employee Ghassan Dahduli following his deportion only weeks after September 11th for terrorist ties (source). Dahduli was a close personal friend of Osama Bin Laden's personal secretary, Wadi Al Hage, who was convicted for the 1998 embassy bombings in Africa. Papers belonging to Al Hage mentioned Dahduli and business activities with the Holy Land Foundation.

SUPPORTER: Ghulam Warriach
EVENT: Hosted a dinner in Kirk's honor (source)

As said before, thank the military boys for the internet, for now the information concerning the lies, the cover-ups and absolute filth will come forth about these holier-than- thou bastards who tell us who, what, when, where, how, and why to live a certain lifestyle, while they lie, cheat, steal, whore-out and continue to get fat off of our inventiveness and labor...

Heck, Robert Rubin gets a million a month plus from a bank which has a Saudi prince as its largest shareholder.

Lieberman called for more Palestinian immigration into the USA while declaring he would filibuster drilling in ANWR.

Sandra Feldman has called for Sami Al-Arian to go back to teaching in his South Florida classroom.

Bob Smith, who is now recieving campaign contributions from the Palm Beach County, FL area and Loral CEO Bernard Schwartz has reversed himself and now opposes Alaskan drilling.

Would that be (former?) NH Governor Bob Smith? Yes, I am woefully behind on current events.

I think he's talking about the current NH Senator Bob Smith unless there's a Bob Smith that's governor or something elsewhere.

Unfortunately the NH senator's GOP primary challenger is himself unacceptable from the campaign cash perspective. It's GOP congressman John Sununu and he's one of a small number of Republicans who regularly recieves campaign cash from the same Islamic radicals as McKinney et al above.

One of Sununu's donors is this Alamoudi fellow who has been giving him checks for several cycles. I think Sununu did return the most recent one from the current cycle in light of the exposure Alamoudi's recieved over McKinney and Hitlery. But there were several others on Sununu's list that matched McKinney's list.

Yes, I meant Senator Bob Smith. There are just too many corrupt politicians for me to keep track of all of them.

Democrats are after Sununu in order to retain the Senate. Smith has been raising money in South Florida from people who will NEVER vote for a Republican.

Are you sure they aren't the Cubans? If I were in Smith's shoes that's where I'd be raising money, cause he went down there and fought for them during the Elian Gonzales thing at the same time Sheila Jackson Lee was working for Castro's side.

Smith has been on Inside Israel talk radio in South Florida and been the subject of fawning praise. Hearing it, I thought I had been teleported to a parallel universe and Jesse Jackson would appear any minute calling for school choice, tax cuts and an end to affirmation action.

Democrats want Smith to win his primary for the same reason Republicans want Reno to win hers.

This is becoming a bizzare election year. In Alabama, hundreds of Republicans crossed over and voted for Yusuf Salaam, a Black Muslim, in a statehouse primary (Salaam won, by 138 votes).

It is for real. Amusing isn't it? Considering what Democrats did in 2000, why would they not do even more this year? Think 2002 will be known as the AIPAC election. Millions are being spent purging black Democrats and some cash is being thrown around to mess up the GOP in selected races.

Oh, you mean Sen. Bob Smith is talking money from Joooos? You mean that Jews are actually participating in the elective process, just like the folks with terrorist ties listed in the first post? Do you want that changed, LL/Voegelin? You don't mean that Jews should be banned from giving money to Republican candidates, do you LL/Voegelin?
