Report From Washington - June 28, 2013

Editor: William J. Murray

Join me in a fact finding mission to Israel - A once in a lifetime mission led by William J. Murray, William Federer and Frank Gaffney, all three experts on Israel and Islamic affairs. Not a standard "tour," the mission includes visits to settlements and military bases plus evening panels. Read more
In this issue: Jihadist welcomed at White House / Obama supported "rebels" behead monk / Obama gay pride / Obama ignores Religious Liberty law / Can Hobby Lobby beat Obamacare? / Religious liberty may die with DOMA / Petition to Congress: Allow Christian terror victims to come to camp in USA / Afghanistan: "Peace partner" attacks Presidential Palace / Syria: Obama's arms boat sinks / Syria: Suicide bomber hits Cathedral - / Turkey: Nation fast becoming Islamist police state -

The Presidency 
Jihadist welcomed at White House - An extremist Muslim was invited to the White House and sat with Obama security advisers. He then posted photos of his White House visit at an Islamic hate site. Bin Bayyah lobbied the White House to "take urgent action" to help Syrian rebels. "We demand Washington take a greater role in [Syria]," Bin Bayyah told Al-Jazeera. President Obama later announced plans to arm Syrian rebels. Read more
Obama supported "rebels" behead monk - This week we reported on the murder of a monk in Syria. The next day his beheading was proudly placed on Youtube by the Syrian rebels supported by Barack Obama and John McCain. Youtube finally removed the video but many had copied it. Two Bishops and several priests are still held by Syrian "rebels." Read more
Obama gay pride - Barack Obama, who opposed same-sex marriage when he ran for President in 2008, called the "gay" plaintiffs in the Supreme Court case they recently won, to celebrate with them. Next comes the persecution of Christians who refuse to say that anal sex is normal.
Obama ignores Religious Liberty law - Last year's National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) included a provision designed to protect the religious liberties of members of our Armed Forces. Obama just ignored it and refused to enact regulations for implementation of the provision. Read more
Congress
Religious liberty may die with DOMA - Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and other legislators have spoken out against the Supreme Court's rulings on DOMA and Proposition 8 which effectively legalized same-sex marriage along with federal benefits for "spouses." These members of Congress pointed out that the decision erodes the traditional family and opens the door to polygamy. Read more
Petition to Congress: Allow Christian terror victims to come to camp in USA - A full investigation must be made by both the House and Senate as to why three Christian kids who were victims of terror were denied visas for a summer camp, while the one Muslim on the same application was approved. Send a free fax to your congressman demanding an investigation.
Religion and Culture
War on the family continues - Just a few days before the Supreme Court decision to legalize marriage based on anal sex I wrote an op-ed for WND on the continued war on the family that began in the 1960's. The Supreme Court forcing the federal government to pay benefits to same-sex partners removes a moral line that opens the door to polygamy. Read more
Can Hobby Lobby beat Obamacare? - Christian-owned Hobby Lobby has won a small victory against the abortion mandate in Obamacare. A Court of Appeals has reversed a lower court ruling that prevented Hobby Lobby from seeking an injunction against the abortion mandate in Obamacare health care coverage. Read more
International
Afghanistan: "Peace partner" attacks Presidential Palace - The Taliban, with whom President Obama has decided to negotiate peace, just this week attacked the Afghan presidential palace and a CIA station in Kabul. Three security officers died as well as the attackers. Read more
Syria: Obama's arms boat sinks - You can't make this up. The container ship MOL Comfort, while carrying arms to Obama's Syrian "rebels," split in half and sank in the Indian Ocean this week. Many of the containers are floating toward Goa. Meanwhile the commander of the "rebels," General Salim Idis said on TV that "Israel is an enemy country. I say that loud and clear." Photo of arms ship sinking
Syria: Suicide bomber hits Cathedral - In Damascus a "rebel" suicide bomber mingled with a group of people queuing for food and other basic necessities handed out by a Christian charity. Odd how these Obama supported "freedom fighters" blow themselves up just like Muslim fanatics. Read more Turkey: Nation fast becoming Islamist police state - The nation of Turkey is rapidly becoming a police state under Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan. He is turning the police into his personal army to battle any protesters against his regime. Read more

Presidency
Obama's brother George - Barack Hussein Obama has seven brothers who are ignored by the media, perhaps because of the abject poverty some of them live in. On of his brothers, George, is being charged with kidnapping in Kenya. He apparently has taken a child he fathered from a girlfriend's home and was trying to use him to somehow enter the United States. Obama could file a form I-130 to bring any of his blood brothers from Africa to the United States but he would have to vouch for them financially. something apparently he does not want to do. Read more
Meeting the young revolutionary - As a young Marxist John Drew met the "revolutionary" who would one day be President of the United States. He describes how Barack Obama that rather than anticipate a Marxist-Leninist revolution he should become involved in "practical alternative of conventional politics as a channel for his socialist views." Read more
Taliban weakness a lie says CBS reporter - CBS News and "60 Minutes" reporter Lara Logan lambasted the Obama administration for pushing the "major lie" that the Taliban has been weakened in Afghanistan by the U.S. military. Logan gave a blistering speech in Chicago this past week that ripped the administration for the way it has handled the war in Afghanistan and the attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya. More info plus video
PAC ads say Obama favors Islam - Government Is Not God-PAC is now running ads exposing the various ways Barack Obama has displayed either weakness or favoritism toward the Islamic agenda. The PAC ads refer to Obama as Apologizer-in-Chief. See ads here
Congress

House hearings on Libya murders - Chairman Darrell Issa of the Committee on Government Oversight held hearings on the September 11, 2012 murders of four Americans by terrorists in Benghazi, Libya. The hearings exposed the fact that the White House and State Department reduced security to give the appearance of "normalcy." in Libya. Reality check: Our ambassador to France has a full Marine Detail to protect him, our Ambassador to war torn Libya had two private guards. Details of hearings
Religion and Culture
Egyptian Christians new to your town? - Visit any Coptic church in the United States and you immediately recognize the newcomers. You see it in their eyes, hear it in their broken English, sense it in how they cling to the church in search of the familiar. They have come here escaping a place they used to call home, where their ancestors had lived for centuries. Read more
College fires official for signing anti petition? - Gallaudet University is catching a fair bit of criticism after the federally-chartered college placed Dr. Angela McCaskill, its chief diversity officer, on paid leave. The decision was made after it came to officials' attention that the administrator reportedly supported a controversial referendum that challenges Maryland's same-sex marriage law. Read more
International
JORDAN: US Troops on the ground - President Obama has dispatched Special Forces to Jordan to protect that nation's king from Syria. Is this a joke? The secular Syrian army is bogged down in an internal civil war with Islamists. All Obama has done is give the Muslim Brotherhood yet another excuse to get rid of King Abdullah. Read more
SYRIA - "Revels are terrorists" - Global Security News has published a report that illustrates what every news agenda in the West knows but refuses to say: The rebels are Islamists who want to rule the entire region, including Israel, under Islamic law and that means no democracy and not room for Christians and Jews.
PAKISTAN - Taliban shoots young girl - The Taliban proudly announced that it wasa responsible for the shooting of 14-year-old Malala Yousafzai on her way to school. The girl, who survived the attack, was shot for promoting education for girls.
PAKISTAN - Christian girl kidnapped - The Pakistan Christian Post is reporting that a 22-year-old on her way to a nursing job was kidnapped by the son of a Pakistani MP and forced to convert to Islam and marry him. A Hindu girl was also kidnapped and forced into an Islamic marriage. This is often done in Pakistan where minorities have no rights. Read more

Report From Washington, May 13, 2011

How the Obama's celebrated Police Week / Obama's same-sex Navy marriages / Proposed law would empower international religious freedom / Ten Commandments Weekend a reality in Kansas / The bankrupt but gay-friendly state / Another honor killing in Michigan / Another mega mosque for New York City / More attacks on Egyptian Christians / More Christians die in Nigeria / Stop aid to Pakistan

USA should stop funding Pakistan!

PRESIDENCY

OBAMA CELEBRATES POLICE WEEK - For "Police Week" President Obama and the First Lady invited a rapper to the White House who has written racist songs that call for killing cops. One of the songs celebrates a cop killer with a $1 million FBI reward on her head. So committed is the rapper, named Common, that he even named his daughter Assata Shakur, after a convicted cop killer. The White House responded that his words have been taken out of context. Common attended the same church as Barack Obama for 20 years, where the pastor was controversial black racist Jeremiah Wright. 
SAME-SEX NAVY MARRIAGES - This week the Navy, with the blessings of the White House, gave an official OK for chaplains to marry homosexuals. In military terms "OK" means chaplains were ordered to conduct same-sex marriages. Within 48 hours the order was rescinded after it was pointed out that the Navy is not a sovereign State and that there is an existing federal law against same-sex marriage.
 

THE CONGRESS 

EMPOWER INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM - Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA) introduced legislation to amend the International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA), to make international religious freedom a greater priority. Wolf authored the 1998 law establishing the International Religious Freedom (IRF) Office at the State Department, headed by an ambassador at-large, and creating the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF). Among the new legislation requirementss, the Secretary of State in coordination with the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Treasury and the U.S. Agency for International Development, must issue a one-time report to Congress on the best uses of foreign assistance to promote religious freedom and religious engagement. Read more

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

TEN COMMANDMENTS WEEKEND - For nearly a decade I have been working with the Ten Commandments Commission to pass a Congressional resolution designating the first weekend in May as Ten Commandments Weekend. A key sponsor of the resolution in the Senate was Sam Brownback who is now governor of Kansas. This year Governor Brownback did indeed issue a Proclamation making every first weekend in May "Ten Commandments Weekend" in Kansas 
BANKRUPT BUT GAY FRIENDLY - The California Senate has passed a bill requiring public schools to be "gay friendly." The Fair, Accurate, Inclusive, and Respectful Education Act (FAIR) requires teaching about the history of the homosexual movement. Textbooks, class studies and materials would be required to treat favorably homosexuals, bisexuals and transgenders. The bashing of white men, Jews, Christians, the Founding Fathers of the nation and anything European would still be permitted unless, of course, they were found to be gay. Not wanting to look too foolish, the California legislature is also working to outlaw square bottom sheets on hotel beds. The proposed law would require hotels and motels to have fitted sheets. There was no word as to whether the fitted sheets were "gay friendly." At some time in the future the California legislature plans on looking into the fact that the state is bankrupt and can't pay its bills or salaries.
ANOTHER HONOR KILLING IN MICHIGAN - A Muslim man tracked his stepdaughter through four states, at last finding the girl, who had escaped her home in Minnesota and was trying to hide from him. He had threatened to kill her for bringing "dishonor" to his family. The "dishonor" was acting like a typical American girl. Rahim Alfetlawi found Jessica Mokdad, 20, in Warren, Michigan and killed her.
APRIL 28th CHAIRMAN'S REPORT ONLINE - In this April 28th issue: The Peace Prize President / Ignoring the New Nazis / John McCain Fronts for Obama / Senator Reid Drops "Under God" from Pledge / Congressional Resolution Proposed to Honor King James Bible / Cleared, then Murdered for Blasphemy / Good Friday Disaster Averted in Indonesia

NO 911 MOSQUE

ANOTHER NEW YORK MEGA MOSQUE - While plans to build a mega mosque at Ground Zero get most of the media attention, another hotly contested mosque construction project is already underway not far away in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Sheepshead Bay. Local residents have protested and formed a group called Bay People and another called Sheepshead Bay Patriots. They have sought an injunction to stop the mosque construction, but their request was thrown out by Judge Mark Partnow on May 10, 2011. Read more

INTERNATIONAL 

MORE ATTACKS ON EGYPTIAN CHURCHES - Two more churches in Egypt were attacked and destroyed. At least 12 died and hundreds of Christians were injured defending the churches from mobs of Muslim men. At St. Mary's, police did not arrive at the scene until two full hours after the attacks began. There was no mention of the atrocities by the Obama White House and no pressure is being placed on the Egyptian government to stop the attacks against religious minorities.  
MORE CHRISTIANS DIE IN NIGERIA - At least 16 people were killed in a pre-dawn attack Friday in the Christian village of Kurum in northern Nigeria. The Muslim attackers, which the Western media referred to as "unidentified gunmen," attacked a farming village in Bauchi state killing at least 16 Christians. More than 20 houses were burned to the ground. There was no condemnation of the attacks by the White House or the State Department. A pastor's account of the murder of his wife and daughter.
WHY WE SHOULD DE-FUND PAKISTAN - Read my latest opinion editorial on why the billions of dollars of funding to Pakistan must be stopped. Pakistan is oppressive and repressive. Religious minorities are persecuted in Pakistan and much of our money is going to fund a nuclear program that threatens democratic India.

Napolitano must go / Homeland Security no place for political profiling / Obama to have full control of Internet / Anti-Military nut case given high position at Pentagon / Obama ok's more abortion drugs for even younger girls with no prescription / Did Napolitano profiling wake up Republicans? / Ivy League all the way: Harvard University chaplain says it's OK to kill those who convert from Islam / Wacko homo beauty pageant judge / All new Chairman's Report

PETITION TO HILLARY CLINTON ON IRAQI CHRISTIANS - Read and sign the new Internet petition to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The petition urges Clinton to direct our embassies to assist Christians who have fled Islamic terror in Iraq. The petition is located at www.iraqichristianrefugees.org.

THE PRESIDENCY

NAPOLITANO MUST GO- After just a month or so on the job, Department of Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano labeled more than half the adults in the United States as "rightwing extremists." She asked police to watch out for anyone who is pro-life, pro-second amendment rights, or anti-illegal immigration, among other things. Excuse me, but it is her job to keep illegals out of the country, not investigate those who support our immigration laws. She then falsely accused the Canadian government of allowing the 9-11 Jidad attack killers to come into the United States. Canadians are outraged and have called her incompetent.

Bottom line: Napolitano needs to go. She has spent her first few weeks on the job beginning a political witch hunt against conservatives and is now showing that she is in a job that is way above her pay grade. She just doesn't understand that her main duty is to protect the citizens of the United States. An advertising campaign, which I fully support, has begun asking for her resignation. See ad here (large file could take several minutes on dial up.)

OBAMA TO CONTROL INTERNET - A Senate bill would give President Obama authority over all networks. If the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 passes, the president will have authority to shut down Internet traffic for "national security." President Obama would also have access to digital data from industries including banking, communications and even the energy grid. Under the bill there would be a cybersecurity czar inside the White House. So far this isn't being reported much outside of business circles. If George W. Bush had sought this kind of authority the ACLU would have gone nuts. Read more

ANTI-MILITARY NUT CASE GIVEN PENTAGON POST - Is it possible that President Obama would place a person in an influential position at the Pentagon if that person once worked for George Soros and is anti-military? How about someone who thinks the media should need a government license and be financed by the government? Apparently it is possible. Rosa Brooks claimed that "failed" American policy brought about the 9-11 Jihad attacks on America, and she is Obama's new adviser to Michelle Fluornoy, the undersecretary of defense at the Pentagon. Can it get worse? Read more

PLAN B FOR EVEN YOUNGER GIRLS - The Obama Administration has approved the sale of the Plan B abortion drug to girls as young as 17 with no prescription from a doctor. The assumption: Girls this age are fully aware of their family medical history and capable of making a medical decision to use a powerful drug that will not only abort a baby but could cause them harm. While Plan B is advertised as a "morning after" pill, it can be used at a later and more dangerous time in a pregnancy in an effort to end the pregnancy without a doctor to give proper advice. Because no parental permission is required to obtain Plan B, the government policy is actually an approval stamp for promiscuous behavior. Read good article at Catholic.org

THE CONGRESS

DID REPUBLICANS WAKE UP YET? - Leadership is about much more than sending out news releases, but that is about all the the Republican leadership has done in the past three months. Finally, on the House side conservative members of Congress in the Republican Study Committee have found a common voice in expressing outrage over the Homeland Security Department being used by Janet Napolitano for political repression. Some of the letters from congressmen to Napolitano concerning her release of a report warning law enforcement agencies about "rightwing extremists" are note worthy. Read letter by Rep. Tiahrt Congressman Tom Carter of Texas said, "The first step in the process is creating unfounded public suspicion of political opponents, followed by arresting and jailing any who continue speaking against the regime." He thinks Napolitano is the leader edge for that kind of third world power play. Read more

CULTURE AND RELIGION

HARVARD CHAPLAIN APPROVES DEATH SENTENCE FOR CONVERTING FROM ISLAM - Imagine the outrage if a Christian chaplain called for even mild discipline of those who violate the tenants of Christianity. It would be on the front page of every newspaper in America. But when the Muslim chaplain at Harvard University said the death penalty was "appropriate" for those converting from Islam, the media showed no interest at all. Muslim students at Harvard who disagreed with the chaplain refused to give their names out of fear of the "Islamic community." Read more

WACKO HOMO A BEAUTY PAGEANT JUDGE? - What possible logic could there be for Donald Trump to appoint an effeminate homosexual as a judge in the Miss USA Beauty pageant? The homosexual wacko job, Perez Hilton, asked Miss California if she approved of "gay marriage" and when she said no, he went beserk, using words to describe her that cannot be reprinted here. Of the judges, two were homosexuals and one was the sister of a lesbian. Keep in mind that not even three percent of the population is homosexual. Read more. You can ask Donald Trump why homosexuals should be judges of normal heterosexual women in a beauty pageant. You may write to him at: Donald J. Trump C/O The Trump Organization, 725 5th Ave., New York, NY 10022

INTERNATIONAL

TALIBAN TAKE MORE OF PAKISTAN - The government of Pakistan, seeking to appease Islamic radicals who had helped orchestrate the 9-11 Jihad attack on the United States, gave these terrorists the Swat Valley. Of course appeasement never works, and soon the Taliban terrorists moved into another province just 60 miles from the Capitol. Pakistan sent in troops, and the Taliban backed off into the Swat Valley after destroying some schools. "It's a tactical move, these kinds of movements make tactical retreats," said Hasan Askari Rizvi, a military analyst based in Lahore. "They'll be back." Read more Pakistan is a nuclear nation. At the current rate, within a year the government could fall and missiles with nuclear warheads could be in the hands of Islamists who want to return the world to the sixth century.

CLINTON PETITION DRIVE - The Religious Freedom Coalition is conducting a petition drive asking Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to formulate a policy to stop the persecution of Christians in Iraq and to aid those Iraqi Christians who have been forced to flee. More than 100,000 paper copies of the petition have been distributed, and an online version is now available. Click here to see petition!
