(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released 128 pages of documents it obtained from the mayor of Rutland, Vermont, showing a concerted effort by the mayor and a number of private organizations to conceal from the public their plans to resettle 100 Syrian refugees into the small southern Vermont town.

The documents include an April 14, 2016, email from Amila Merdzanovic, executive director of the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program, to Mayor Christopher Louras, in which she wrote:

I want to share with you the concern my HQ has about holding a public forum. If we open it up to anybody and everybody, all sorts of people will come out of woodwork. Anti-immigrant, anti-anything. They suggest that the forum be invite only but make it as wide as possible. Work with faith leaders, United Way, etc… Perhaps, we could go back to the Congregational Church and continue the conversation there.

The mayor and resettlement organizations shrouded the plan in such secrecy that not even the town’s aldermen were informed of what was taking place behind closed doors. The aldermen eventually wrote to the U.S. Department of State protesting the plan and opened an investigation into the mayor’s actions. The State Department has not yet ruled on whether it will resettle refugees in Rutland despite the aldermen’s protest.

Handwritten notes state that the issue was, “Not what can ‘we’ do for ‘them,’ but what the diversity, cultural richness do for the community.” The documents contain detailed discussions of what Rutland will need to provide for the refugees – including housing, jobs, medical care, and places for worship.

I would support safe zones in their own country and maybe we kill a few bad guys along the way .

They appear to be doing the same thing in San Joaquin County, California, North East of Stockton. The Federal Government has purchased some farmland there surreptitiously claiming they are going to build “Farm labor housing” but the farm labor housing in the county is already 50% vacant. The government hints that there will be housing for either 13 families or 160 or more singles. Behind the scenes, it is reported it will be a camp for refugee Syrian men. Everything is being fast tracked. . . and normal local zoning limitation is being bypassed because it is Federal.

Our forefathers would be shooting by now.

Makes me wonder how many small towns they’ve already done this to, also below anyone’s radar.

[raybbr]

Does it say how much money Rutland will get for this betrayal of its citizens?

[Whenifhow]

PING!!!

Article and comments, esp #42 re: California refugees

This is a planned invasion by our government of placing potential muslim terrorists throughout the U.S.

Thanks, Procon

Sad!

[B4Ranch]

I am surprised that Rutland Mayor Christopher Louras is still able to walk and talk.

[PGalt]

Thanks for the ping; post; thread.

TREASON - continuous, in-your-face, pre-meditated, agenda-driven, agency-abetted, NGO-adminstered, representative-enabled, media-complicit, court-sanctioned, ongoing...

Instead of King James’ Plantation subduing the Irish, it’s Emperor Obama’s Plantation to subdue America.

[bgill]

This administration will do anything to destroy America. And we wonder where all those missing billions have gone. If blackmail (Hellary’s favorite) doesn’t work then pay off the dupe.

[polymuser]

Churches do it, too. You can bet a lot of priests, pastors and ministers are NOT telling their sheeple about what their denomination’s ‘social ministry’ branched are doing in this area. Some related reading:

Not only is Obama subsidizing illegal immigration (with our tax
dollars)....but it's also Obama's grim diversity joke on states like
lily-white Maine. Obama ordered his factotum at USCIS to settle
the most diverse types in lily-white states.

Somali refugees in Maine carry bags of freebies. Figure fifty
Democrat votes when the tribe's multiple identities go to the polls.
Little kids vote, too.

The Royal Idiot is having a good laugh over his little joke.

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

ACTION NOW Call Rep and Senators

Using tax dollars in secret demands an accounting.

The Bank Secrecy Act should be mobilized----to follow the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program paper trail, including official govt documents, and determine how govt tax dollars changed hands; to determine the scope and dimension of collusion in sub rosa deals and who might be personally profiting.

<><> L/E needs to examine Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program's bank accounts.

<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer govt funds from one account to another, and/or wire-transferred offshore;

<><> To cover their tracks, fake invoices might be created to show that govt money deposited into accounts was being used for legitimate purposes.

<><> Financial schemes scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from financial sources that actually covered the transfer of funds for insiders' personal use and/or for redistribution schemes.

<><> Falsified official reports might indicate a cover-up of larger crimes.

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

NOTE WELL Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering and other financial crimes. “The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.

Shady banking transactions could be prosecuted under the (1) Bank Secrecy ACT, (2) RICO, and, (3) the Hobbs Act for misue of government funds

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

<><> L/E should get ahold of: (1) copies of Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program bankchecks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including snail mail, e-mail, mobile devices, cell phones, (8) contracts, (9) loan agreements, (10) other account books or official records.

L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub- brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.

<><> L/E should scrutinize bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.

<><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC accounts, to money launder and to operate personal ventures;

Tax fraud may also be a factor, facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intra-bank transfers from legal bank accounts into personal accounts, or redistribution schemes.

<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support personal lifestyles including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, travel, perhaps luxury gifts.

And I bet that federal contractor is going to get paid a whole lotta money to assist in our destruction. No wonder they want to keep it a secret. They’re probably getting paid to transport the refugees directly into our cities to seed them to create massive numbers of Muslim American killers. Out them. Who is this? The same group who brought all the illegal immigrants across would be my guess. The Muslim Manchurian Negro isn’t going to be satisfied until there is a 80 brown to 20 white population and that just to allow for slaves, jizya payers, and torture and killing games. Well American Millenials you got your fuc$ing change and now they are going to start killing you off until the U.S. is 80 % brown (yeah that includes YOU). You gaywads who voted for it - expect your free flying lessons any day now. And if you vote for Hillary, I hope they drop you from jets sans parachutes.

[Chode]

charges to be filed early monday morning... right??

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

I’ll try to get back to that later.

God bless you, Liz, for your hard work for so many years!

[M Kehoe]

“God bless you, Liz, for your hard work for so many years!”

That deserves a bump.
