{rickwells.us} ~ What happened to instantly change the illegal alien, Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos, from an “undocumented” woman to a citizen with full rights in possession of those elusive “missing” documents?... She was returned by the US Government to the place she belongs, Mexico, her country of nationality. The CNN report, as is the case with most of the others, depicts this “poor woman ripped from her life with her family” with tearful scenes of hugs, walking down the street holding hands and other staged, Chuck Schumer tears theatrics. All done to turn us against President Trump and his enforcement of immigration law. It’s the sappy, biased propaganda we’ve come to expect from the fake news professionals at CNN and elsewhere. The reporter says, “The undocumented woman was only fourteen years old when she crossed violated the international border of a sovereign nation in search of a new life.” What do 14-year-olds know about their old life and what drove this one to supposedly seek out a new one? What kind of person sends their daughter loose to find her way to America across deserts, landing on the streets of Phoenix? There’s probably more to the story than we’re being told...  http://rickwells.us/cry-rio-grande-immigration-law-means-illegal-aliens-get-deported/

Stunning warning about
Saudi Arabia's new 'mega-city'
{wnd.com} ~ It’s already the center of a great empire – but it’s only going to grow in the years to come. In fact, it’s shaping to be the “mega-city” of the Antichrist himself. The city is Mecca, the object of devotion of Muslims around the world who pray in its direction five times a day... New York Times bestselling author and scriptural teacher Joel Richardson argues Mecca is nothing less than the great city that corrupts the kings of the world in the book of Revelation in his new book, “Mystery Babylon.” Yet Richardson’s case is not only rooted in the Bible but in contemporary history. In a recent interview on Skywatch TV, he outlined how the House of Saud is aiming to turn Mecca into a “mega-city” that will serve as a monstrous conglomeration of spiritual, financial and political power...  http://www.wnd.com/2017/02/stunning-warning-about-saudi-arabias-new-mega-city/

On Defining Religion

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) said that President Donald Trump's 90-day ban on immigration from seven predominantly Muslim countries is "a religiously based ban," and "if they can ban Muslims, why can't they ban Mormons."... This has become the position of the Democratic Party and the mainstream media, which has influenced not only the American public but has convinced the majority of the world that America is "bad." How can we blame the world, and even a good segment of American citizens, for hating America when such disingenuous and misleading claims are aired to the world from US officials and broadcast by American television channels? The majority of the world does not understand that much of the American media is in a propaganda war against the Trump Administration simply because he names Islamic jihad and would prefer to see a strong and prosperous America as a world leader, rather than to see a dictatorship -- secular or theocratic -- as a world leader...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/9890/defining-religion

Trump Deputy Asst. Infers Potential
Amnesty Program For Non-Felon Illegals

{rickwells.us} ~ Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Deputy Assistant to President Trump, joined Judge Jeanine Pirro on her February 11th, 2017 program for a discussion that included the deportation of illegal aliens from the United States... In that discussion Judge Jeanine asked her about reports that there are random ICE sweeps taking place and that ICE checkpoints have been set up in Los Angeles. She mentions other reactionary ravings about things that should have been taking place all along, naming “people being deported,” saying she finds it fascinating that now illegals are being provided attorneys to protect their “rights.” Huckabee seems to be making an effort to calm things down, some of them of possible concern to those of us who are ardent Trump and DHS supporters. She subtly injects qualifying conditions into her statements, saying, “Look the bottom line here is that the ICE team and the ICE officers are simply enforcing the law and law that has existed before Donald Trump even took office. They’re just actually enforcing it. This is real simple here, people that have come in here illegally, that have felony charges, are not going to be allowed to stay.” Is she inferring that those who don’t have felony convictions can stay?...  http://rickwells.us/trump-deputy-asst-infers-potential-amnesty-program-non-felon-illegals/

Indicted Democrat partied with Pulosi, flew with
liar-nObama, and campaigned for liar-Clinton

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ She partied with Nancy Pulosi, traveled on Air Force one next to President liar-nObama, and cast her superdelegate vote for liar-Hillary Clinton. But today Corrine Brown is in federal court for stealing scholarship money from school children... The disgraced congresswoman must defend against charges that she funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars from a non-profit charity, One Door for Education, into her own pocket. If convicted on all 24 counts, she faces 357 years in prison and $4.8 million in fines. With her former chief of staff expected to testify against her, the question's no longer whether or not she's guilty. It's why Democrat brass would continually cozy up to a congresswoman who was so clearly corrupt?...

The emasculated West's death wish

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ One of the most important stories related to the September 11 attacks was the one that was deliberately left largely untold. That story is the response of some Muslims in America to the massacre of nearly 3,000 people by Islamic supremacists in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.

According to a Washington Post article published on September 18, 2001, in Jersey City, New Jersey, across the river from the destroyed World Trade Center, “Within hours of the two jetliners plowing into the World Trade Center, law enforcement authorities detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river.”

The New York Post reported on September 15, 2001, that Muslim Americans in Patterson, NJ were also seen celebrating the attacks. Word-of-mouth reports abounded in the weeks and months following September 11 of spontaneous celebrations carried out that day in Dearborn, Michigan, in Virginia and other Muslim American communities.

The most notable aspect of the published reports of the celebrations was that there were so few of them.

After all, the notion that any Muslim Americans would celebrate the jihadist attack was certainly newsworthy.

The stories were suppressed at the time by political leaders. Then New York mayor Rudy Guiliani for instance said the celebrations shouldn’t be reported lest they lead to violent attacks against peaceful Muslims.

Then president George W. Bush rushed to defend and uphold Islam as a “religion of peace,” almost immediately after the attacks. Bush insisted that al-Qaida was a fringe movement and ideology in the world of Islam. Its Islamic supremacism did not reflect either the Islamic faith or the ideology of the overwhelming majority of Muslims.

In 2007, then secretary of state Condoleezza Rice banned US officials from using the terms “jihad,” “Islamic” and “Islamism” in describing Islamic jihad and the ideology of Islamism or in conjunction with discussions of Islamic jihad and terrorism.

Under former president Barack liar-nObama, the war on language went into high gear. Not only were all terms relating to Islam banned from use in the federal government, the term “terrorism” was even purged from the official discourse. liar-nObama dumped the Bush-era term, “War on Terror,” for the even more meaningless phrase, “Overseas Contingency Operations.”

liar-nObama barred the FBI from investigating radical Islamic breeding grounds and replaced surveillance operations with a program called, “Countering Violent Extremism.” Under that program, Islamists were given federal support. The notion was that once they were empowered, they would convince their communities to reject violence.

The US federal government’s actions were far from unique in the Western world. Indeed, when compared to the efforts taken by Europeans to sanitize public discourse of all discussion of Islamic jihadism, America’s efforts look downright moderate. In Europe, almost every mention of Islamism has been barred. Those that have criticized it have been subjected to criminal prosecutions and convictions.

In most cases, the rationales for these efforts to block discussion of the threat of radical Islam have been admirable.

Western nations have long histories of racism and intolerance. On the surface at least, placing a spotlight on the actions of one community, or adherents of one specific religion flies in the face of everything that the nations of the West have come to understand about how racism and bigotry takes root in a society. The very act of mentioning bad behavior carried out by members of a specific group seems inherently bigoted.

The problem with this well-intentioned position was self-evident from the start. It is not bigoted to point out the bigotry of others and to confront and challenge it.

It is bigoted not to do so. Even worse, it is dangerous.

It is impossible to solve a problem like Islamic radicalism by ignoring it. To the contrary, by ignoring it, you ensure that it will grow.

One of the strategically significant aspects of the September 11 attacks is that they showed that Islamic terrorists do not require control of territory to cause massive harm to their enemies and to their enemies’ societies.

On September 11, the 19 hijackers did not occupy downtown Manhattan. They did not drive tanks down 5th Avenue.

Armed with box cutters and informed by a bigoted, supremacist ideology, 19 Islamic terrorists viewed themselves as heroes as they used crude weapons to commit murder on a scale never seen before on American soil.

And after they did so, far from being condemned across the board in the Islamic world, they were celebrated as heroes by a very large number of Muslims not only in the Middle East but in the US and throughout the Western world.

The devastating implications of the US government’s decision to ignore the fact that at least some American Muslims celebrated the attacks were revealed over the weekend in an extraordinary report by Ruchmini Callimacci in the New York Times.

Titled, “Not ‘Lone Wolves’ After All: How ISIS Guides World’s Terror Plots from Afar,” Callimacci reported how Islamic State (ISIS) locates and recruits Muslims in countries around the world over the Internet. Once they recruit these adherents, ISIS terror masters in Syria and elsewhere direct them in plotting and carrying out terrorist attacks. These remote commanders dictate the actions of their distant adherents from the moment they make contact with them until just moments before they commit their attacks or are arrested by law enforcement bodies.

ISIS handlers, or commanders, are able to control the actions of their recruits as a platoon commander controls the actions of his soldiers, without ever meeting them. In many cases, the recruits do not even know their handlers’ identities, have never heard their voices and do not know where they are from.

The one thing that joins them to those directing them from thousands of kilometers away is their shared belief in the supremacy of radical Islam over all other ways of life. Their common faith in the justice of acts of mass murder against non-believers is so strong that it bridges the gap between the real and virtual worlds.

ISIS’s mode of operation is a natural progression from the September 11 attacks. Along the way, Anwar al-Awlaki, the commander of al-Qaida forces in Yemen killed in a US drone strike in 2011, was the pioneer of moving the direction of Western jihadists from the physical world to the virtual one. For more than a decade, Awlaki indoctrinated and directed numerous jihadists in the US and the UK. In the beginning Awlaki directed their actions by meeting with them and preaching to them in shared physical space. Later, he decamped to Yemen where he continued his efforts. He preached to them through cassette tapes, through satellite broadcasts and Internet chat rooms. He indoctrinated them through online essays. And he directed their terrorist attacks by email.

An interesting incident in Awlaki’s career came in 1996. At that time, Awlaki was working as a preacher at the Denver Islamic Society. According to a New York Times report from 2010, Awlaki left the mosque, and moved to San Diego shortly after an elder of the mosque upbraided him for telling a mosque member to travel to Chechnya to join the jihad against Russia.

The most revealing aspect of the story is that the elder who criticized Awlaki asked the New York Times not to publish his identity. By 2010, Awlaki had already been publicly implicated in directing scores of Western jihadists to commit attacks in the US and the UK. He was considered the commander of al-Qaida forces in Yemen. And yet, the mosque elder in Denver didn’t feel comfortable openly condemning him.

His aversion indicated where the balance of power in the American Muslim community lies.

Whether or not President Donald Trump is able to reinstitute his executive order mandating a 90-day ban on entry of nationals from Syria, Iraq, Libya, Iran, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, the fact is that such a move will be insufficient to diminish the terrorist threat in America. As Callimacci’s article made brutally clear, so long as the intellectual shackles of political correctness block the US and other Western governments from taking concerted action against the creed of Islamic supremacism and its adherents inside their own borders, the virtual terrorism command ISIS now controls will last until it morphs into an even more deadly threat in the months and years to come.
