The author of this article is a first class journalist who made aliyah from the US about 5 years ago. Her work is excellent and I intend to post more of it from now on. Aside from exposing Obama’s policies which aid and abet the Islamic Jihad in America and the ME, she ended this article with a thoroughly researched report on what Jewish/Israeli/American, Andrew Sotloff, believed and did, prior to his beheading. Apparently Sotloff was a leftist who supported the Islamists. Ted Belman
AS always, the Jihadi-in-Chief is busy gifting his brothers-in-arms a bounty of presents. Inclusive in said booty, it has been reported that jetliners became theirs for the taking (alongside countless MANPADS and other high-powered weaponry) and they are planning to make “good” use of them. After all, Obama Inc. imploded Libya on purpose, contrary to mainstream spin. The “gift” that keeps giving.

REPEATEDLY, as soon as Benghazigate exploded, this investigative journalist laid it all out on the table on 11/11/12. Coming to fruition. To a head.
When all is said and done, this blog’s original assertion, re Benghazigate, will come full circle.
And the aforementioned lynch pin, Samantha Powers, leads straight back to Obama’s door…
IN support of said 2012 assertion of anticipated blow back from Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s Brotherhood manipulations, along comes the premiere counter-terror expert, Dave Gaubatz, in our recent “tag-team” interview and he attested to the same (current) anticipated result:
INDEED, aside from foreign-based “bolts of lightening”, Barack HUSSEIN Obama has been prepping the domestic ground (since 2008) for an internal takeover. Consequently, jihadi imams, in the heart of America, feel free enough to exhort that Shariah law must be the “law of the land” and that is that. Wow, what utter chutzpah, or so it should seem.
SO along with Islamist plots outside America’s borders, additional helping hands are given by the Islamist-in-Chief through an open sesame “Refugee Resettlement Program”. How quaint. The thing is, these “refugees”, for the most part, are Shariah law adherent! As expected, they are a particularly anti-western crew. Go figure.
The State Department, working with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, chooses the communities largely because they are viewed as welcoming of foreign refugees and also because they have well-developed social welfare programs.
“Catholic Charities, Lutheran Social Services and World Relief, which is an evangelical group, resettled them there because the welfare is so good in Minnesota. That was the main reason,” says Ann Corcoran, an activist who has written hundreds of articles about the Somali resettlement program for Refugee Resettlement Watch. “That’s also the case with Maine. A lot of the Somalis are going there for the same reason.”
The Christian charities have worked quietly behind the scenes, using millions of dollars in federal grants, to resettle the refugees in the chosen cities.
Catholic Charities, the Lutheran Social Services of Minnesota and World Relief work as contractors to help Somali children get integrated into American life. They are placed in foster homes, taught English, educated in public schools and provided government health care.
But a number of them will not end up assimilating into American culture. They will be radicalized, either at a local mosque or on the Internet, and return to Somalia to wage jihad against the Western-backed government. Some have also joined ISIS in Syria.
The trend was underscored again last week when it was reported that two Americans, both from Minneapolis, had linked up with the ISIS terrorist organization in Syria and were killed on the battlefield in that country’s civil war. One was a Somali refugee and the other reportedly was an African-American with ties to the Somali community in Minnesota.
MOST significantly, the same anti-American leadership which is giving domestic cover (political, financial and every component thereof) to Shariah law compliant Islamists is the same which opened the gates of hell-fire within the Mid East, Asia and Africa through an absolutely illegal war in Libya. As demonstrated, tearing apart Libya allowed ISIS to march into Syria (yes, Syria was Obama Inc.’s ultimate goal) under the banner of the Muslim Brotherhood Mafia’s Sunni Al Qaeda offshoots!
IN fact, according to some of their fellow reporters, as well as a few intimates, Steven Sotloff and James Foley – BEFORE their horrific murders – began to “understand” the “grievances” of the monsters they reported on. Indeed, this was before they were forced to do so by their captors proceeding their decapitations!
Sotloff supported the Arab Spring and loved Islam according to the UK Daily Mail:
The Jewish journalist – who held joint American and Israeli citizenship – spoke fluent Arabic and had a showed a deep love for the Islamic world before he was captured by ISIS militants in Syria in 2013. He was executed by them on Tuesday…
…‘A million people could have told him what he was doing was foolish, it seemed like it to us outsiders looking in, but to him it was what he loved to do and you weren’t going to stop him,’ said his friend, Emerson Lotzia. ‘Steve said it was scary over there. It was dangerous. It wasn’t safe to be over there. He knew it. He kept going back.’
That account would seem to square with an article written by Sotloff from Cairo in the days after the removal of Mohammed Mursi from power. Incorporated into his article was an account of a conversation he had with a friend who warned him not to go to the mosque where Muslim Brotherhood supporters were protesting. Sotloff told of how his friend was wrong and that the Muslim Brotherhood has legitimate grievances, asShoebat.com reported.
As was the case with Foley, Soltoff appeared to be sympathetic to the causes of opposition groups in Libya and Syria as well as the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Unfortunately, these American journalists are often times far too willing to befriend Muslim fundamentalists who will turn on them.
In the days after the Muslim Brotherhood regime in Egypt was overthrown last year, Soltoff visited the site of the Brotherhood protests at the Raba’a al-Adawiyya mosque and wrote about the experience:
When I told my Egyptian friend Ahmad Kamal that I wanted to go to the Muslim Brotherhood protest camp in Nasser City, a pallid look gripped him. “Don’t go there!” he pleaded. “They are fanatics who hate foreigners. Americans like you are in danger there.” After an hour of fruitless conversation over endless glasses of sweet tea, I rose, shook Ahmad’s hand, and headed straight to the lair where he believed I would be devoured.
But when I arrived at Nasser City, the picture Ahmad painted of long-bearded, club-wielding extremists bent on roughing up secular Egyptians was just as devoid of truth so much else in this divided country. Coups depicted as revolutions, peaceful protesters painted as fanatics, and disgruntled citizens hailed as revolutionaries have transformed Egypt into a circus where the main attraction is the uncertainty of heading into the unknown.
The full details surrounding Sotloff’s disappearance are not known but it happened about one month later in Syria and if he was willing to go to Raba’a al-Adawiyya in the days after Mursi was overthrown, there’s no telling what he was willing to do in Syria.
As Shoebat.com has reported, ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood are now fighting each other, not because of a difference in ideology but more over turf and what each side envisions as the model and leadership of any Caliphate.
In hindsight, Sotloff would have done well to listen to Ahmad, the man who pleaded with him to stay away from Raba’a al-Adawiyya. These journalists who don’t understand the mindset of the likes of the FSA in Syria (as Foley apparently did not) also don’t understand the stealth mindset of Muslim Brotherhood figures like Gehad el-Haddad.
While at the mosque, Sotloff interacted with a former Clinton Foundation employee and Muslim Brotherhood leader Gehad el-Haddad, who was the Chief of Staff to Muslim Brotherhood Deputy Khairat el-Shater:
Drawing on his vast knowledge of Western liberalism, Haddad explained how the military’s coup contravened the pillars of democracy. “President Morsi was elected by the people at the ballot box,” he noted, scratching his perfectly trimmed beard. “Only there can his legitimacy and position be removed. Not in the streets with tanks and machine gun toting soldiers.”
Haddad’s sentiments were echoed by those in the crowd albeit less articulately and more fragmented. “The people voted for Morsi,” 45-year-old teacher Sa’id Rashwan told me. “Why have a few now decided he cannot rule?’
Such frustrations were the main theme of the Nasser City protests. But others expressed puzzlement with the very fundamentals of electoral politics. “Is this how democracy functions?” asked a 38-year-old carpenter, Salim Moussa. “When people get mad at your president does he have to resign?”
Despite their indignation, Morsi supporters were adamant they would not resort to violence. “We have made our commitment to elections and democracy,” Haddad explained. “We believe violence neither serves our cause nor that of the Egyptian people.”
At the time, one of Sotloff’s tweets directed followers to Haddad’s twitter feed in order to get the Muslim Brotherhood perspective about what was going on in Egypt:
Haddad’s last tweet was on September 12th of last year. He was jailed soon thereafter as Egypt came under the control of Gen. Abdel Fatah el-Sisi. As Shoebat.com has reported on extensively, Haddad was an employee of the Clintons (Bill and Hillary) for years.
In a bizarre type of macabre foreshadowing, Sotloff ended his article with a paragraph that would ultimately prove his friend Ahmad right:
Ahmad refuses to countenance that the Brotherhood and its supporters have legitimate grievances. Such stubbornness is blocking the path to reconciliation Egypt desperately needs to extricate itself from its security and economic woes. And until Egyptians like Ahmad extend an olive branch to those in Nasser City, Egypt will continue to be mired in a zone of uncertainty.
In the case of Foley, as Shoebat.com reported, despite his support for the Free Syrian Army (FSA), a group affiliated with the FSA reportedly turned Foley over to his ultimate killers as a goodwill gesture.
As for Sotloff, he demonstrated a willingness to put himself in a very bad spot and attempted to ingratiate himself with bad actors.
When those bad actors are Muslim fundamentalists, betrayal should always be in the calculus.
YES, some might suggest they “self-identified” for tactical purposes, but I suspect this was not the case.
EVEN more disturbing and revealing, the fact of the matter is that this site has CONTINUOUSLY warned readers about the “Lawrence of Arabia” syndrome, even if not operating from the Mid East jungle! This disease affects both leftists and their RINO counterparts.
AS night follows day, many who wear a self-imposed halo of “open-mindedness” (whether Christian…leftist Churches, pay heed to the barbarians you aid and comfort, you know, the aforementioned “refugees” and others of similar ilk…ditto Jewish fantasists and their multi-culti bandwagon communal/spiritual leaders) truly believe that the Islamic devil will save them from the same punishment meted out to those who refuse to play along to get along. Oh dear, they are in for a rude awakening, maybe even a beheading! The Islamic crocodile will NOT eat them last. The savages who decapitated Foley and Sotloff (and countless others) surely made themselves clear – or should have.
ABOVE all else, it is imperative that freedom loving Americans (and other westerners) disabuse themselves of the fantasy that Obama and gang will do anything to make America safer from Islamic jihadists, regardless of their clucking.
IN other words, if Shariah law takes over America, well, all bets are off. Heads will roll too. Literally.

I looked a bit at her blog Gadzooks! Truth mixes with hyperbole becomes at best just an annoyance.
I’m sympathetic – I suppose it’s cathartic but psychologically also self-destructive.
Max Said to AdinaF:
I suggest you simply post this generic reply on all your posts, it will be as relevant to others as it is to this one. All your posts are simply generic, irrelevant rants. One size fits all, just give everyone a link to “Chairman Max Says..” and that should be sufficient and satisfactory to all. 😛
@ Max:
SHmuel HaLevi 2 Said:
you never answered his questions, as usual; demonstrating once more your massive ignorance on the facts and issues.
Max Said to adinaF:
Apparently you never took a course in basic logic which teaches you how to fdiffferentiate between the message and the messenger and the name of the fallacy connected with confusing the two.
Max Said to AdinaF:
Gosh, thats what I always think when you rant on your soapbox. Apparently you still do not understand the difference between empty, basless assertions and assertions given with supporting evidence. YOUR assertions are ALWAYS empty and baseless, lacking of any surpporting evidence and your repeated psychobabble ramblings of trying to smear the messenger are ludicrous.
Max Said to AdinaF:
Actually you describe yourself well.
Max Said:
The NYT has already acknowledged this, apparently you dont read even the MSM.
Reread your posts, there are no facts in them, only your ludicrous ranting from your soapbox…I suggest “speakers corner” in Hyde park
@ Max:
Max, Max… We are not going to enter the rational domain while you claim a soap box in there. Now listen, be good to yourself and seek help. You may some day be able to understand reality and accept the truth.
On that note I say turulu to you…
AdinaF Said:
As clear as a fruitcake. Just the manner you present yourself has got “twisted” written all over it. You can throw around all the names you want the world is full of foolish people and those that follow them. Your “assessments” are nothing more than hysterical paranoid ramblings based on prejudice and cartoon-like thinking . People are and groups are not so Uni-dimensional. Where’s Popeye and where’s the N-word? You might as well throw them in too,
Instead of famous people you should study ordinary people and build up from there.
You’re just dealing with ghosts because it’s all suspicions, character assassinations and demagoguery. If you got the smoking gun then take it to the NYT and explain to them how every Muslin is a Jihadi and Obama is their Fuhrer.
)implied threat – threat of violence – force is not teaching or sharing knowledge.
To Max # 3 – First of all, you are free to believe whatever you want. However, only a fool would disagree with the assessments from those who operate “knee deep” in the jihadi arena. To wit, the day that you are asked to give a global interview on the subject matter, and the day that you are tag-teamed with a world class counter-terror contact, Dave Gaubatz, is the day that readers should take seriously your “assessment” -http://www.inquisitr.com/1448836/isis-islam-and-obama-understanding-the-threat-to-the-free-world-special-report/ Am I making myself clear?

Runaway hat-red has not done your thinking much good -paranoia , generalizations – twisted logics. You’ve destroyed the first tool you need to cope with an enemy. Or even to know what and who the enemy is.

I have found that a good fact based source for these questions over the last couple of years has been Aaron Klein and also i beleive Jerome corsi. the narrative is that Benghazi was buying back arms, man pads etc and shipping them primarily through Turkey to syria. also, that the CIA brokered a 500 million arms purchase for the saudis through croatia and that there was an arrangement with the saudis(LOL) whereby Jihadis being recruited were vetted with the US(forget whether DOD) to ensure(LOL again) that they had not engaged prior in anti american “activities”. Jordan had an arrangement with the US for the training of “rebels” especially in anti tank warfare.
As for the Benghazi attack I have read various narratives. One being that the Russians/Syrians/Iranians arranged it to both embarass the US and to obstruct and interdict the arms shipments. Another version has a false flag kidnapping gone wrong, ending in Stevens death, with a subsequent hostage trade for the blind sheik who was being promised by Morsi to his followers. Both are even possible together. the stand down orders and the sudden switch of command of the forces based in europe indicate something foul. The Russian involvement makes sense as they were also involved in the “debunking” of the chem attacks in Syria. both the Benghazi incident and the falling apart of the chem attack scenario, I believe, caused obama to back off of direct involvement in Syria, as he originally planned, because his constituency support was in danger if the chem attacks were proven to be from the rebels, which could then end similarly to the Bush WMD claim. i beleive that the russians had the evidence.
I think this statement is quite accurate. the MB represents a branch of political Islam who seeks to directly wield political power whereas the Salafis or gulf monarchy funded Jihadis do not seek to wield political power in the same way. a good example is the Saudi wahabbi arrangement where ostensibly the saudi clan wield political power and the wahhabis wield religious power but in reality the religious power and clerical network are controlled by the royals. Therefore, fatwas and clerics do what the royals want. The Saudi sponsored Salafi philosphy is that Allah rules through edicts and fateas of the clerical network, which conveneirnelty is controled by the royals. The Royals of the Gulf want islamists and jihadis who are subordinate to them and the MB acts too independently for their liking. They want a structure similar to what they have now where they call the shots.
@ Max:
Vus?
I am a bit surprised by you Max. 🙂 Just a bit.
Hate mongering? Is there anything wrong to hate the bestial hordes armed to the teeth with state of art US and other such weapons resources? How did the monstrous beasts got the armament? Who trained them?
If they do another 9/11 now or later, who will be responsible for failing to prevent that?
Anyway, I am sure that eventually you will tire of going to bat for… and striking out.
Hysterical, disjointed, (sometimes incomprehensible completely losing the thread ) and hate-mongering article.
Hysterical nonsense comes from thinking of people and countries as one dimensional cartoons.
That will be the case if the civilized world continues to cow to the cult of death.
Now…
Why is it that a modern light rail public transport system in Jerusalem is stopped by hordes of those bestial items throwing boulders to trains and passengers?
Why there are not harsh actions from the authorities to cut those animals down?
Cowardice is complicity.
It has been repeatedly exposed that the shifty, treasonous pseudo Jews, unJews, have for generations undermined our people. The Judenrat and capos were NOT uncommon, nor, are today any less virulent. Consequently I see no reason to be concerned with said Erev Rav renegades. They are our worst enemies and their fate is in their hands only.
As Soros and others with him did, they gladly served the German Nazis. The new generation of such garbage do exactly the same on behalf of all enemies of the Jews.
