by Shifra on June 22, 2016Time left until Obama leaves office: 211 days, 12 hours, 13 minutes and 11 seconds. Via CNS News. In commenting on why the Obama administration initially had decided to release redacted portions of the 911 telephone calls made by the radical Islamic terrorist who killed 49 people at an Orlando night club, columnist, author, and former terrorism prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy said it was because the government “is becoming Sharia-adherent.” ….On Monday’s Bretibart News Daily (SiriusXM), host Stephen K. Bannon asked McCarthy, “The attorney general went on NBC yesterday and she said she’s redacting the audio of the assailant in Orlando to take out his call to jihad, his pledge to the Islamic State. Did you buy her reason? Or...

John Kerry: ‘Zero Evidence’ Refugees Making It Through US Screening Pose Greater Risk Than Other Groups
by Shifra on June 21, 2016Looks like there is ‘zero evidence’ that John Kerry can say anything that resembles an intelligent thought. Via CNS News. Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday evening there was “zero evidence” that refugee applicants who go through the rigorous screening involved in the U.S. refugee admission program pose a greater security threat than members of any other group. Speaking at the interfaith iftar (Ramadan fast-breaking meal) in Sterling, Va. coinciding with World Refugee Day, Kerry also warned that what he called “bigoted and hateful rhetoric” about Muslims helps those “who propagate the lie that America is at war with Islam.” “There is absolutely no evidence, my friends, zero evidence, that refugees who make it through this arduous process, pose...

DHS Whistleblower: Fear Of Offending Muslims Puts Americans At Greater Risk Of Terror Attacks
by Tammy on June 19, 2016Yes it does. Thank goodness we have men of courage like Philip Haney. Click here to get his new book “See Something, Say Nothing” through the Tammy Army Amazon link. Via Daily Caller. The rate of terrorist attacks in America and around the world has spiked since 2001, and Americans have become increasingly skeptical of reporting suspicious activities. One federal whistleblower commiserates with that skepticism, but says, “history can be a harsh judge.” He counsels that Americans will feel deep remorse if they stay silent when seeing a suspicious activity that does in fact lead to an act of terror. Philip Haney, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) whistleblower, details his efforts to keep Americans safe while navigating the shifting...

The Victims of the Orlando Islamist Terror Attack
by Tammy on June 13, 201649 innocents were murdered. That number may increase with over 50 hospitalized. We have identified them, but police are releasing names only after family has been notified. Here’s who we know so far. May they all rest in peace. In their names, let us focus on the truth and act on the reality of what they faced at that club. The attempts to politically obscure the hell they went through is itself obscene. Wemake sure their deaths are not in vain. A GoFundMe page has been started for the victims and families.

Federal Agencies Knew Dulles Airport Guard Was Accused War Criminal
by Tammy on June 5, 2016And they tell us we have problems because TSA isn’t big enough, because government isn’t big enough and because the monster of government needs more, if not all, of your money. When the key problem is the malevolence and idiocy of a federal bureacuracy that views the people as the problem and itself as the only entity that matters. This disaster is an update to this story: Anything to declare? Somali ‘war criminal’ is now working security at Dulles International Airport. Via CNN. The local and federal agencies handling American airports could not explain Thursday why an accused war criminal was hired as a security guard at Dulles International Airport despite the fact that authorities knew about the serious allegations...

Report Finds Intruders Breach Airport Fences Every Ten Days
by Shifra on May 26, 2016Why isn’t more being done to secure the airports? Because: “Nothing bad’s happened. Yet.” Via Fox News. Under pressure to prevent people from sneaking onto runways and planes at major U.S. airports, authorities are cracking down not on the intruders who slip through perimeter gates or jump over fences, but on the release of information about the breaches. A year after an Associated Press investigation first revealed persistent problems with airports’ outer defenses, breaches remain as frequent as ever about once every 10 days â despite some investments to fortify the nation’s airfields. As Americans wait in ever-longer security screening lines inside terminals, new documents show dozens more incidents happening outside perimeters than airports have disclosed…. After discussing intrusions openly...

State Dept Sets New Single-Day Record for Syrian Migrant Approvals
by Tammy on May 24, 2016Obama keeps rushing to put this nation at as much risk before he’s out. Via Washington Times. The State Department admitted 80 Syrian refugees on Tuesday and 225 on Monday, setting a new single-day record, as President Obama surges to try to meet his target of 10,000 approvals this year — sparking renewed fears among security experts who say corners are being cut to meet a political goal. Officials insisted they’re moving faster because they’re getting better at screening, and say they’re still running all the traps on applicants. But the new spike in numbers is stunning, with more people accepted on Monday alone than were approved in the entire months of January or February. “The Obama administration is on...

US Certifies Romanian Missile Site, Tries to Reassure Russia
by Tammy on May 12, 2016One of the reasons NATO is saying the missile defense operations are necessary for Romania and Poland is to protect against Iranian missiles. Which, we of course, have made possible. NATO’s reassurance to Russia also includes the assertion that these sites are way too south to ever be able to interfere with missiles Russia wants to launch. Isn’t that nice? Because who would want to interfere with that? Considering Russia is the country invading nations and annexing them, I’m sure proud we’re reassuring them they’re safe. I do look forward to the day when tyrants around the world seek to reassure us for a change. Via Stars and Stripes. The U.S. and NATO declared their missile interceptor system here ready...

UK Police Chief Apologizes After Fake Muslim Shouts Allahu Akbar In Anti-Terror Training Exercise
by Shifra on May 10, 2016Dude should’ve shouted Aloha Snackbar? Via Telegraph. A police chief has been forced to apologise for featuring a fake Muslim shouting “Allahu Akbar” in a major counter terrorism training exercise against Isil. The exercise had depicted a suicide bomber detonating explosives and opening fire in the middle of a busy shopping mall. But critics claimed the depiction of the terrorist “stereotyped” Muslims during the mock up at the Trafford Centre, near Manchester which was aimed at testing the emergency response to an extremist attack in the wake of ISIS led assaults on Paris and Brussels…. “The scenario for this exercise is based on a suicide attack by extremist Daesh style organization and the scenario writers have centred the circumstances around...

Half-Mile US-Mex Border Tunnel Discovered, 1 Ton Cocaine, & 7 Tons Marijuana Seized
by Pat_S on April 21, 2016This is the 13th sophisticated secret tunnel found going between California and Mexico since 2006. This tunnel ran from a Tijuana house to the lot of a wooden pallet business in San Diego. It is not known how long it’s been used as a drug smuggling route. Border Patrol agents noticed heavy traffic at the pallet lot and were suspicious.

Half-mile tunnel found under US-Mexico border; 1 ton cocaine, 7 tons marijuana seized Investigators began to monitor the lot daily last fall after Border Patrol agents assigned to the area saw heavy...

FBI Warning Power Companies of Cyber Threats to Electric Grid
by Tammy on April 9, 2016Well, now that Iran has had a $150B infusion, of course they’ll now join Russia and China and engage in even more cyber attacks against the US. With the Iran nuke deal “separated” from other terrorist issues, it’s almost as thought Obama is paying the Iranians (and the rest of the world for that matter) to hurt the United States. In this case, Russia figures prominently, but we all know Russia and Iran are now as close as ticks. Via The Hill. The FBI has begun warning infrastructure companies about the threat of cyber attacks on the U.S. power grid, according to a new report. The nationwide campaign by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security includes briefings and online...

Surveillance And The Culture Of Self-Censorship
by Pat_S on April 3, 2016The internet and social media have been touted as democratizing forces. A recent study suggests that knowing there is government and private cyber surveillance results in self-censorship of minority opinions and creating a dominant voice online. Under Surveillance: Examining Facebook’s Spiral of Silence Effects in the Wake of NSA Internet Monitoring Since Edward Snowden exposed the National Security Agency’s use of controversial online surveillance programs in 2013, there has been widespread speculation about the potentially deleterious effects of online government monitoring. This study explores how perceptions and justification of surveillance practices may create a chilling effect on democratic discourse by stifling the expression of minority political views. Using a spiral of silence theoretical framework, knowing one is subject to surveillance...

U.S. Says It Has Hacked iPhone Without Apple
by Tammy on March 28, 2016Chalk up one for the good guys. Now the next interesting aspect is what they find on the phone. If it’s a terrorist goldmine it will put even more pressure on tech firms like Apple to appropriately respond to warrants. Via NY Times. SAN FRANCISCO — The Justice Department said Monday that it was withdrawing a legal action that would have forced Apple to cripple the security system on an iPhone used by a terrorist. The Justice Department is stepping back from the case — which involved demanding Apple’s help to open the iPhone used by Syed Rizwan Farook, a gunman in a mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., last year — because law enforcement has found another way into...

U.S. Military’s Ability to Fight Major Overseas War In Doubt
by Tammy on March 28, 2016The Obama legacy, as enabled by the GOP, continues… Via Washington Times. Beneath the positive press the military receives for preparing to mold women into the nation’s first female ground warriors this year, there is another story far more basic to war fighting. Some lawmakers are warning that budget cuts, a troop drawdown and a decade and a half of wars have created spotty combat readiness, overburdened forces, more fatal accidents and beat-up weapons. Weeks of congressional testimony from the top brass on next year’s $524 billion defense budget shows that many Army brigades and Air Force squadrons are less ready. The Marine Corps lacks sufficient aircraft to fully train pilots. The Army and Marine Corps can wage small wars...
