Politically Correct Obama Regime Rules Prevent Investigators from Using Common Sense

RUSH: The poor Drive-Bys are so confused. I mean, they're really riding a roller coaster of emotions, the seesaw of emotions -- up, down, up, down, where are we going, when's it gonna stop, is it good, is it bad. They just can't quite figure it out. Greetings, my friends. Great to have you here, as we head on down the tracks. Rush Limbaugh from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. Three hours broadcast excellence hosted by me. Telephone number, if you want to join us, is 800-282-2882.

Look at what is happening in Los Angeles. Either way this goes, I mean, whatever is the case here, this is -- folks, if it's a hoax, look what they've pulled off. If it's real, look what that is. We've got the second largest school district in the country shut down on a basis of a credible threat to a member of the school board or some such thing. They get threats there all the time, the guy said. "Yeah, we get threats every day." Something about this one he said made them take action. They have shut down the entire school system.

There were people already at school. There were people already on their way to school. They had to close and shut down the buses and send them back to the parking lot. They had to clear people out of the schools that had already gotten in there. They had to get the word out that school was closed. This is going to cause all kinds of problems during the day today with parents who normally send their kids to school to get rid of them. Now they're gonna have to deal with them. I mean, it's a major thing. But the point is, if this is a hoax, look what's happened? A hoax has shut down -- what's to prevent this from happening every day? No, no. Seriously. I mean, they say the threat's credible, something about backpacks. They cannot inspect every backpack. They can't inspect every school. They can't inspect every boiler. They can't inspect every nook and cranny of every school or bus or what have you.

Everybody is obviously on edge. San Bernardino is not far from Los Angeles, obviously San Bernardino to the east. So that's clearly on people's minds. Officials closed all LA Unified School District campuses this morning after receiving a credible threat of violence involving backpacks and packages left at campuses. The authorities said they're gonna search -- there are more than 900 schools they have to search. More than 700,000 students are going to miss their liberal indoctrination today. They're going to miss their exposure to propaganda. You might say that's an upper. But we don't want to go there right now. I'm just giving you the facts.

The LA Unified School District superintendent, Ramon Cortines, said, "I think it's important to take this precaution based on what has happened recently and what has happened in the past." This is just two weeks after the San Bernardino massacre. Fourteen people were killed, many others wounded. "Fearing for the safety of schools and students, Cortines said he couldn't take a chance, so he asked police to search all campuses, adult school and early-education centers," before reopening tomorrow. "Officials said the threat came in electronic form and was made to numerous but unspecified campuses. As a result, they made the decision to close all campuses for the day. The Los Angeles Police Department and FBI were assisting with the investigation, Los Angeles School Police Chief Steve Zipperman said."

So again they say the threat is still being analyzed. "'We have chosen to close our schools today until we can be sure our campuses are safe.' Students who already arrived at school will be supervised until parents can pick them up, officials said. LAUSD ordered parents and guardians to bring identification with them."

Get this. The school district said in a statement: "Parents and guardians, please bring proper ID when picking up your child at school. They will be required.

Now, I understand -- folks, I really do. There's no way -- and I know I grew up in a much, much smaller town, but no parents needed IDs to pick up their kids at school when I was there. You gotta show your papers. Look, I understand it. I mean, I'm not I'm not criticizing it. I'm noting how things have changed. Parents need ID. Otherwise anybody could show up and pick up the kid. I understand it. It's a different world. It's a different country. It's a different age.

Ladies and gentlemen, there's a lot of attention -- I mentioned something yesterday... (interruption) What? (interruption) Oh, yeah, yeah, I'll get to the debate tonight and all that. (interruption) What? (interruption) Yes. I'm gonna get to the media coverage of what happened. Yeah. I'm gonna get to all that. But as you know, I never want to make this program about me. (interruption) Well, I know, but I didn't know it. You know, I got a note from my brother at midnight last night. He said: "Have you had any feedback on what you said about Trump and Cruz?" And I said, "No, not a word." And I said, "But I never do get any feedback." And I never go searching for it, so I haven't seen any.

Remember, I don't have cable news on at night. I mean, last night I had the football game on, and I watched a couple of their TV -- I never have cable news on at night. It's not an active thing. It just evolved. I just don't turn it on anymore. I don't know why. Well, yes, I do know why. I stopped learning things on it. It's like I used to watch the Sunday shows religiously and now it's predictable. I know what each guest is gonna say, and I know who's gonna frustrate me, both sides, so I just don't subject myself to it.

The point is, I didn't know any of that was happening last night. I didn't know any of that was happening until I got the sound bite roster from Cookie 10 minutes before the program began; then I see I am the first 11 sound bites. But, anyway, it's what I was gonna say, folks -- I touched on it yesterday, and there's much more that has been learned about this -- and that is the administration's policy is refusing to allow social media to be used in determining potential terrorists or other criminal activity.

It's specifically outlawed by the Obama administration, and we touched on it yesterday a little bit, and it blew up overnight. It's become a huge issue, understandably so, because it's raising all kinds of questions about the Obama administration and just what the hell they are doing and why are they making it so damn hard to identify people before they would commit acts of terrorism. The example being used is the wife of the San Bernardino Two. She was telegraphing everything about herself on social media.

What is it I've always said about social media? Well, I've said many things about it. But one of the most prominent things I've said about it is that it is remarkable to me how everybody on social media, in the quest for fame, is willing to divulge everything about themselves they can. The lack of regard for privacy -- until somebody seems interested in it, then all of a sudden they start demanding privacy. But everybody in social media, Twitter, Facebook, you name it.

People there are just putting everything about themselves on these websites, these profiles, as they can. It's just everybody wants to be famous. Everybody wants a taste of fame because of the way fame is portrayed in pop culture media. Well, apparently Syed Farook's wife was no different. She was telegraphing quite a lot. She was explaining quite a lot. She was showing her anger. She was expressing her desires. If they had consulted the social media that she was posting about herself, they would have had a huge idea.

She passed the visa examination, which is the fiance visa, 'cause that's all done online. That's not even done with a personal interview anymore! And there it all was. In her case, it was right there on her social media that she used, and even if somebody at the Regime had gone to it and looked at it, it was inadmissible, per se. It was illegal to use it. So the headlines on this story today have kind of blown up. Let me give you a sample of them here. Daily Caller: "Obama Officials Trained to Focus on Behavior, Not Religion or Ideology."

Washington Examiner: "White House Looks to Curb Anti-Muslim Sentiment -- The White House on Monday began staff level meetings and telephone calls with religious leaders to discuss how they could help combat growing anti-Muslim sentiment in the US." This is suicidal. I have a poll, a Pew poll. I'm holding it in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers. Now, I don't know what your opinion of this is gonna be, but to me it's kind of shocking. Eight percent of US Muslims -- 8% of US Muslims -- think terrorism is okay.

I don't think there's 8% of any other group in this country that would say that. There might be one other. But 8%, to me, is a too large number. It's 8% and growing. And here we are, after San Bernardino, after Fort Hood, after all these things, and the Regime is running around worrying about backlash against Muslims. When there isn't any! And they had a meeting yesterday -- this is unbelievable -- to discuss how they could help combat growing anti-Muslim sentiment in the US. Meanwhile, the Washington Post is out with a poll today.

Trump's got his biggest lead ever. They can't believe it. They are attributing it to Trump's comments on the moratorium that he suggested on Muslims being allowed to enter the country. They're stunned. They're shocked. They can't believe that Trump went up. They can't understand it. Even after all the help I've tried to give them in understanding how all this is working, they still don't get it. Trump's numbers are up. It's even been misreported in one place that he's got a 38-point lead.

He doesn't have a 38-point lead. He's up at 41%. The closest to him is like 15%. Well, it may be closest to 38, but it's not. But it's massive. And they can't help but understand and report that it is because of Trump's comments on limiting the arrival of Muslim refugees. It's only a common-sense reaction that the nation has engaged in many times prior to today, prior to this era. "Secret US Policy Blocks Agents From Looking at Social Media of Visa Applicants, Former Official Says." This is Brian Ross at ABC.

But that secret US policy blocks agents from looking at social media. So Republicans have proposed a bill that would require vetting immigrants' online statements. So this has blown up now, and people are noticing the lengths to which the administration has gone to make sure investigators cannot look at social media and then make judgments on what they see there in terms of learning, uncovering potential terror threats. Now, to me it's quasi-suicidal. You have a whole body of evidence that has just been deemed off-limits because of some notion of privacy, civil liberties, or whatever.

It's not that other people are finding out who they are and posting it. These people are vomiting all this stuff about themselves, and this has been the primary identifying characteristic of social media. "Notice me! Notice me!" These people are begging to be noticed, and we're saying, "You can't use that, though." And the reasons make no common sense whatsoever. Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson? I mean, he's leading the charge on this, making sure that none of that social media can be used.

Had it been available for use, we'd have had a much better idea about the San Bernardino Two. Anyway, in process of prepping this, I have come across the actual PDF government manual on the proper use of social media. It's a two-page PDF file. I am holding it here my formerly nicotine-stained fingers, and I've sent the link up to Koko at the website. So if you want to go to RushLimbaugh.com, give him a couple minutes and he's post that link.

But what this is, is it's the instruction sheet that the Department of Homeland Security uses to train agents in what they are allowed to do and not do. It's only two pages. Sections C and F are the money sections, and Section F could have been written by the Muslim Brotherhood. It could have been written by CAIR. You know, all this stuff about a secret policy not to look at social media is BS. It's not "secret." It's right out there for everybody to see!

It's a straightforward application of Obama's long-standing countering-violent-extremism strategy. What this is, is not secret at all. It is the department of instructions on making sure there isn't backlash against Muslims and making sure that we don't unfairly target them and making sure that we don't profile. It instructs agents not to consider speech, ideology, or Islam. All agents are allowed to do is look at behavior. And if the behavior of a potential suspect does not indicate trouble, the suspect must be ignored. We can't look at what they say on social media speech.

RUSH: Let me give this a stab. Here's Section C of "Countering Violent Extremism Training." This is what our agents are told to see, do, not do, notice, not notice. There are three columns in every section: "Goal. Do. Don't." Section C: "Training should be sensitive to constitutional values," okay? And the agents are advised to do the following: "Review the training program to ensure that it uses examples to demonstrate that terrorists span ethnicity, race, gender, and religion. 2. Look for training that focuses on behaviors over appearances or habits.

"Number 3. Look for training that supports the protection of civil rights and civil liberties as part of national security." Okay, those are the do's. Sounds really effective, right? Here are the don'ts: "Don't use training that equates radical thought, religious expression, freedom to protest, or other constitutionally protected activity, with criminal activity." Don't use training that equates...? In other words: Do not believe that "radical thought, religious expression, or freedom to protest" can be criminal or can even lead to "criminal activity."

"One can have radical thoughts/ideas, including disliking the US government, without being violent; for example, trainers who equate the desire for Sharia law with criminal activity violate basic tenets of the First Amendment." So you had better not have any negative ideas about Sharia, and you had better not think you spot anybody believing in Sharia. And if you do spot somebody that you think believes in Sharia, it doesn't mean anything. So ignore it unless you see them behaving in such a way that they might commit an act of terrorism, like running around with a bomb.

But if you don't see 'em with a bomb, and all you know is they're Sharia and they're militant Islam, you can't do anything about it.

I don’t believe he’s concerned with being ‘politically correct’- I think everything he does is calculated to give our enemies the advantage while making us more vulnerable- and I think it’s all on purpose- Everything he does empowers the enemy and ties our hands

The truth of the matter is all types of common sense has been derided as “profiling”.

“Profiling” is actually another word for “using your brain”. That’s what our brains do, they takes in data and builds a profile of what are the likely causes and effects in our environment, so we can act accordingly to better reach the outcome we desire and better avoid the outcomes we do not.

When the left says “stop profiling” what they really mean is stop acting like an intelligent human being.

Politically correct?
Fact is that Obama and the Saudis built ISIL and are arming them.

Solution:remove Obama and send all “refugees” to Saudi Arabia.

Hundreds of migrants arriving in Norway had mobile phones containing images of executions
Daily Mail
Posted on 12/14/2015, 4:56:24 PM by TigerClaws

Hundreds of asylum-seekers entering Norway were discovered to have images of executions and severed head on their mobile phones.

The revelation comes amid heightened fears that ISIS is exploiting the migrant crisis to smuggle fighters into Europe, following last month attacks in Paris. Police admitted that the explosion of refugees crossing into the country over the summer and in recent months meant that security checks were less thorough than required, and were not checking the background of those entering the country.
