Dangerous Immigrants

  • America’s top spy said Wednesday that U.S. intelligence officials have a “huge concern” about Islamic State’s ability to infiltrate waves of Syrian war refugees flowing into Europe and potentially the United States as pressure mounts on Western nations to take in a growing number of people fleeing the conflict in the heart of the Middle East.

    “As they descend on Europe, one of the obvious issues that we worry about, and in turn as we bring refugees into this country, is exactly what’s their background?” Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper said. “We don’t obviously put it past the likes of ISIL to infiltrate operatives among these refugees.”

    “That is a huge concern of ours,” Mr. Clapper said during a rare and unusually informal public appearance at an annual U.S. intelligence community conference that kicked off Wednesday morning in Washington.
That's the Director of National Intelligence - the big cheese himself - a man put into place by Sparklefarts and tasked with the safety of the nation...until his assessment runs counter to the popular meme of the day that we have to throw open the borders, admit all comers regardless of reason, history or potential danger.

Then it must not be such a "huge concern."

(I had commented farther down) --

So many worthwhile things to do in this world, yet the Middle East seems to produce as its specialty limitless numbers of young men with guns, constantly surging through the streets.

The great achievements of Islamic culture in mathematics, art, architecture, medicine, astronomy -- they named so many of the stars -- ended a long time ago, and Daesh has been blowing up what is left. It is a pity.

There are indeed disagreements between Israel and the Palestinians, but the divisions within the entire, greater Arab world itself are so profound that Israel could simply disappear tomorrow and I think that no one would even notice, so busy are they at endlessly killing each other -- Sunni vs. Shiite, etc.

This is an unfortunate situation that seems eternal and irreconcilable. I think, therefore, that we do not need to import it onto other continents as well.

Let this terror remain in the sands of its birth.

Mr. Obama knows what he knows, and isn't about to change his mind. All the national security experts, national intelligence experts and FBI opinions mean nothing to Mr. Obama. His mind is made up and he isn't listening to them. He is the President and he knows what is best. His will is law.

In Texas at least, we have a lot of people that are armed or own guns, and a lot of people with concealed carry. At least we can shoot back.

Didn't you hear? The BIGGEST threat to the United States is Global Warming.

People in Washington have no clue. It's every man for himself (or herself).

Better arm yourself if you want to go to a Bears Game or some other large event/ venue.

Oh? Can't bring in weapons? -- Stay home and watch it on TV.

Not going to be a victim because some people can't identify a REAL threat.

FLASH --

Gunmen hold 170 hostage at Radisson Blu hotel in Mali

By Ed Payne, CNN

Updated 5:28 AM ET, Fri November 20, 2015

(CNN)LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:

[5:22 a.m. ET] Two Malian citizens and a French citizen have died in the incident, a U.N. official said.
[5:15 a.m. ET] At least seven Chinese guests are among those held hostage, Chinese media reported
The gunmen arrived in a diplomatic vehicle
No group has claimed responsibility

FULL STORY:

Gunmen have taken 170 people hostage inside the Radisson Blu Hotel in Mali's capital, Bamako.

The hotel chain said two armed men have locked in 140 guests and 30 employees.

The men came in a diplomatic vehicle Friday morning, firing as they entered the hotel, said witness Amadou Keita, who works at a cultural center close by.

The gunshots went on for several long minutes, he said.

Malian soldiers with help from U.N. troops have the hotel surrounded.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the incident.

But the timing of the attack is troubling because it comes just a day after French President Francois Hollande praised his troops for successfully fighting Islamists in the African nation.

"France is leading this war with its armed forced, its soldiers, its courage. It must carry out this war with its allies, its partners giving us all the means available, as we did in Mali, as we are going to continue in Iraq, as we'll continue in Syria," he said.

Mali is a former French colony.

Olivier Saldago, a spokesman for MINUSMA, said the hotel was host to a large delegation for the peace process.

MINUSMA is the U.N. mission in the nation. The United Nations sent peacekeepers to Mali in 2013 to guard against militant Islamists who threatened to move on Bamako.

At least seven Chinese guests are among those held hostage, Chinese media reported.

China has been expanding its presence in Africa in recent years, investing and building large-scale infrastructure projects throughout the continent.

Many Chinese businesspeople also see opportunities in Africa and have been flocking there.

The U.S. Embassy in Mali asked American citizens and its staffers to remain indoors. The embassy, in a tweet, called it an "ongoing active shooter operation."

Mali: The long, troubled desert road ahead

In August, 12 people -- including five Malian soldiers -- were killed in a hostage situation and ensuing battle at a hotel in Sevare in central Mali.

The soldiers stormed the hotel to end a daylong siege that started when gunmen raided the hotel after attacking a military site nearby, witnesses said.

In that incident, the attackers were affiliated with the Macina Liberation Movement.

Human Rights Watch has described the group as Islamists who commit "serious abuses in the course of military operations against Mali's security forces."

The Radisson Blu hotel is about 15 minutes from Bamako Senou International Airport

CNN's Margot Haddad in Paris and Elizabeth Joseph in Hong Kong contributed to this report.

Of course their mixed in with the refugees. Most of them even say it. The refugees are even scared of one another. Obummer wants to bring them in, give them gift cards, furnished apartments filled with their kind of food. He treats Isis and enemy combatants better than our own veterans. His Kenyan sperm donor must be very proud.

During the news, they showed that the majority of refugees are young males who refuse to stay and fight. Than the president says that the republicans are afraid of a bunch of "widow and orphans" coming to America. Would you buy a used car from that man?

Sparklefarts is the biggest terrorist in the U.S. Laws don't apply to him. Instead of upholding and defending the constitution, he suspends any part in conflict with his plans. (Like supplying arms to America's enemies.)
What he has, and is doing, is criminal, But no one will call him out on it for fear of being called a racist.
It's going to get a lot worse before it starts getting better.
Stay safe guys.

If anyone would like to strike back at the City for its Sanctuary City bullshit, I have an idea.

The target: the City's Corporation Counsel. The venue: The ARDC. The ammo: a disciplinary complaint based a violation of the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct for the Corp Counsel's knowing and intentional disregard of federal law.

Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct can be summed up in one sentence: lawyers have to obey the law (duh!).

To me, it seems like an open and shut case. You can't ignore the law simply because you dont like it.

I don't want to file the case myself, but would be happy to outline the chapter and verse citations that would form the basis for a complaint for some one who would like to pick up and ball and run with it. It would be best if the complainant is a non-attorney, because while the ARDC may (and does) strike fear in the hearts of attorneys, non-attorneys have nothing to fear from ARDC. They can't touch you.

And while we're at it, let's add every alderfool who voted in favor of the Sanctuary City resolution, who is also an attorney, as an additional co-defendant.

Fortunately, no one is talking about throwing the borders open to all comers, and he was saying it's a huge concern, which is why they're carefully screening the refugees that are allowed in.

Anyone remember death panels? Or do these silly allegations just wash out of memory once proven false?

You have no IDEA how many "refugee help" and "world relief" organizations there are here, all linked together and taking deep pulls off government grants, United Way, every money-source they can find. Their web sites have maps of "Areas We Help" -- excluding Western Civilization, of course.

There is always a red "Click To Donate Here!" button at the top, along with "How Do I Volunteer" -- but never "Click Here If YOU Need Help."

Seniors really struggling to get along, well over half a million of our own homeless (probably closer to a million -- HUD "definitions" intentionally diddle that figure to keep it low, and an awful lot of people sleeping on the floor somewhere don't show up) and we get this.

Attn. -- church ladies literally knitting socks for the "Lost Boys" -- seven-foot-tall nomadic herdsmen from Sudan and Somalia, who often hop back and forth between fighting with Al-Shabaab and then running back here to A. be unemployed and B. spread their mania.

"Charity begins at home."

This is a GOOD approach!

If you REALLY want to put the screws on, GO AFTER FEDERAL FUNDING for cities playing this game.

Christ, Martin Luther King Day and Constitution Day and a lot of other stuff was enforced using this tactic.

Time to use it to prevent the really dangerous practice of letting criminals walk just because they're illegal aliens. (Get your head around that one, huh? I mean...)

Let's name the Federal funding cutoff "Kathryn's Law," after Kathryn Steinle, murdered while peacefully walking on a San Francisco pier by a five-times-deported illegal with seven prior felonies who was released by (now deposed) Sheriff Ross Mirakimi who ignored an ICE hold order.

unfortunately, it looks like a war zone because it is on its way to someday being one. The shit has been moving west for years and jumped central long ago. Garcia ridge. Not too many areas on the south side left for us and even the small decent areas are surrounded by shit and the schools are shit.
