CA Democrat's Alleged Arms Trafficking Scheme Linked to Islamist Rebels
Joel B. Pollak 26 Mar 2014 The 137-page, FBI-sworn affidavit against California State Sen. Leland Yee, a Democrat who is also running for Secretary of State, and over two dozen other individuals reads like a crime thriller.
Beyond the widely reported stories of alleged wire fraud, money laundering, corruption, and bribery, the affidavit contains tales of alleged murder-for-hire plots involving a political consultant close to Yee, as well as large international weapons trafficking operations.
Indeed, while the media have fixated on the hypocrisy of a gun-control advocate--Yee sponsored legislation against detachable magazines, for example--alleged involvement in gun smuggling, few reports delve into the kind of weapons with which Yee was allegedly involved.
The FBI affidavit describes conversations about shipments of automatic weapons and talk of heavier weapons, including shoulder-fired missiles and artillery.

This POS should be sent to any middle eastern hell hole and told to stay there.
Amazing. How do you suppose he even found an arms trafficker? It’s not like they’re listed in the phone book. Yee must have been deep into crime and/or terrorism for some time.
Also, I’d like to know who he thought he was selling them to. They were meant for use here in the US, so what group did he think he was supporting with this sale?
It was mentioned in one article that he had been considering fleeing to the Philippines. There are Chinese living there, although they’re generally not Muslims, so I suppose he may have had some connections through a relative or friend there. I don’t think he’s a Muslim, but he certainly has some odd connections.
Definitely Chinese are in the Phillipines:

MANILA, Philippines—National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) agents raided an Angeles City hotel at dawn on Friday being used as a base for “blackmail” by a syndicate of foreigners, a bureau official said.
Agents of the NBI Investigation Services headed by Deputy Director Ruel Lasala raided 26 rooms of the Sothernberg Hotel in Clark, Pampanga.
Lawyer Daniel Daganzo, NBI Foreign Liaison Division head, said 52 Chinese were arrested for financial fraud for allegedly threatening and extorting money from people in Taiwan and China.

Small rant here. I greatly dislike the term “Islamist” as it mis-states the perpetrator and cause, reducing them to an admirer or interested party as opposed to what they truly are, an adherant of ISLAM. Instead of calling them “Islamist” they should be correctly identified as “Moslem Terrorists”, “Islamic Terrorists” or simply Moslems and point out that they are following the written intent of the author of their holy book.
A few weeks ago, Feinstein and a few other high-level Calipornia Dems were whining about having emails read by the CIA. I wondered if it was linked to this investigation..
If so, it is a wonder the investigation wasn’t completely shut down..
after this, he may be suicidal...
I use the term islamist from my reading of “Pan-Islamism” in the 1968 Encyclopaedia Britinnica.
It fits.
He was going to get them from the muslims in the Philippines.
It fits.
Good call, I can see that. However, the majority of lofo types have no clue about the goals of Islam and their expansion/domination and are thus led by the press acting as the Pied Piper.
Yes, I know who he thought would be his supplier.
But the more important question is to whom he thought he was selling the weapons. The FBI agent was posing as somebody in the US who wanted to get these weapons for use in the US. So what exactly was the group the FBI agent was pretending to represent?
I thought “Domestic Terrorists” and their “supporters” were immediately sent to Gitmo, where they could be held WITHOUT TRIAL what gives? is this Special Treatment??
That we do right by example would seem pleasing to God, IMHO. What more should we do?
