Report From Washington - January 4, 2013

Editor: William J. Murray  

In this issue: Obama rejects "freedom of conscience" for military chaplains / NBC admits censorship of election news / Terror cleric link to 9-11 known by FBI for years / 113th Congress sworn in / 20% of House Members new / 14 new Senators / Al Gore sells TV network to Islamists, takes oil money / F-35's to Turkey and F-16's to Egypt / Egypt's Morsi previously called for war on Israel / Christian beheaded in Syria / Fatwa says rape only women over 14 in Syria / Muslims attack American Jew in Venice

The Presidency Obama refuses "freedom of conscience" for Chaplains - Upon signing the 2013 National Defense Authorization. These provisions were specifically inserted by Congress to protect chaplains who refuse to preform "same-sex" marriage. By his refusal to abide by this section of the law Obama is in essence saying he will force chaplains to preform "same-sex" marriages. Read more
NBC admits election news censorship -
Two days after the national election on November 6, Brian Williams -- anchor and managing editor of NBC Nightly News -- made a peculiar comment: "With the election now over, it is once again safe to talk about the economy and jobs, Now that it is not a campaign issue, it's back to reality," In other words, because the economy was the weakest part of the Obama reelection campaign we didn't talk about it much. Read more

Terror cleric link to 9-11 known - Anwar al-Awlaki was deeply involved in the 9-11 attacks and the FBI new it prior to his invitation to speak on "moderate" Islam at the Pentagon in 2002 according to investigators for Fox News. He booked earlier "test" flights for some of the hijackers. Despite this the Bush Administration and the FBI allowed him to be paraded around various media outlets and to speak at events at the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill. Read more

Congress
113th Congress sworn in -
I was on Capitol Hill on Thursday, January 3rd as the 113th Congress was sworn in. Only families of the Members are allowed at the actual swearing, but I attended reception with some of those that were elected with the help of the PAC of which I am the chairman. My PAC helped elect socially conservative Senators Cruz (R-TX) and Deb Fischer (R-NE). Please note that note a single economic conservative candidate backed by Karl Rove's PAC won. Every candidate Rove backed that ran away from social issues lost.
House: One in five faces new - There are 82 new Members in the 435 seat House and 14 new Senators. On the House side almost 20% of the Members are new although one did previously serve back in the 1980's. There are also two empty seats because of resignations that occurred before the new 113th Congress even had a chance to convene. The only African-American in the Senate is a Republican. Everywhere I go conservatives champion "term limits" because Congressmen "stay forever." The reality is different: The average length of service for Representatives is currently 9.8 years (4.9 terms) and for Senators is 11.4 years (1.9 terms). List of 85 new Members
Religion and Culture
Al Gore takes oil money and helps Islamists -
Al Gore is helping the advance of radical Islam in the USA by selling his failing TV network for a huge profit to a radical Islamist network that prided itself in showing IED's killing Americans in Iraq. The Al Jazeera network is funded by the government of Qatar. Qatar is controlled by a "royal" family and has no freedom of speech, press or religion. Read more 
International
F-16's to Egypt and F-35's to Turkey -
I have previously reported that the United States will begin delivery to Egypt this month of advance F-16 fighters and the newest version of the Abrams tank. Our government also approved the sale of ultra-advanced F-35 to Turkey which has declared itself an enemy of Israel. Turkey will purchase a total of 116 of the aircraft to Israel's 55 with delivery through 2017.
Morsi called for war on Israel - So much for the "moderate" Muslim Brotherhood president of Egypt. Recently found iTV interviews of Morsi show him saying in 2010 - "Either [you accept] the Zionists and everything they want, or else it is war," Morsi said, "This is what these occupiers of the land of Palestine know - these blood-suckers, who attack the Palestinians, these warmongers, the descendants of apes and pigs." Read more
Syria: Christian beheaded - A Christian man was beheaded and fed to hungry dogs by the Obama supported "rebels" in Syria who are in reality little more than Islamist bandits who pillage the countryside. Read more
Syria: Fatwa says rape OK - Three hundred thousand Christians forced from their homes so far by the jihadists in Syria. Hundreds of Christians killed and now Obama's Saudi buddies have issued a fatwa approving of rape to boost moral of fighters. Read more
Italy: Muslims attack Jewish tourist - A young American Jew visiting relatives in Venice was brutally attacked by 15 Muslims. The attacks on Jews in Italy have increased sharply the last few years. Read more

Chairman’s Report from Washington for July 20,2011


THE PRESIDENT, WAR, TERROR AND ISLAM
OBAMA’S VOICE OF AMERICA The headline at the Voice of America website operated by the US government, on July 15th, 2011 said, “Braving Scorching Heat, Egyptians Rally to Press for Reforms.” Reforms? The organizers of the demonstration, the Sharia Association of Rights and Reform, called for a million men to take to the streets accusing the “secularists” of stealing the coming elections. The Sharia Association of Rights and Reforms also stated that Islamic sharia is the majority choice for Egypt, accusing secularists and liberals of trying to outflank the true preferences of the Egyptian people with a new constitution.

The reporting on this and other Middle Eastern events by the Voice of America seems to bend the truth when it comes to Islam and particularly the Muslim Brotherhood. The Voice of America continually refers to the Muslim Brotherhood as a “moderate” organization organized around charity. Oddly, the motto of the Muslim Brotherhood says something quite the contrary:

Obama and Clinton all smiles for the Muslim Brotherhood- Allah is our objective.
- The Prophet is our leader.
- Qur’an is our law.
- Jihad is our way.
- Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.

The Voice of America is the official voice of the Obama Administration; it is not an independent news organization. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton uses the Voice of America to announce official State Department positions. Apparently the official position of the Obama Administration and the Department of State is to white wash violent Islamic organizations to justify cooperation with them.

OBAMA WANTS ARAB RATHER THAN CANADIAN OILOnly Saudi Arabia has more recoverable oil reserves than Alberta, Canada. Unfortunately for Americans, the Obama Administration does not want oil from Alberta because it comes primarily from oil sands and Obama’s “green” supporters don’t like that fact. (Caveat: Actually the United States holds the greatest known oil reserves in the world when oil shale is included; however, Congress has barred extraction in most of these known reserve areas.) Currently Obama’s EPA is blocking the construction of a pipeline to the USA from Alberta that would bring investments of over $9 billion and create 100,000 jobs. If completed the pipeline would also bring down oil prices not only in the United States but the entire world. Simply put, out of liberal ideology, the Obama Administration and liberals in Congress are raising gas prices and putting people out of work.

Canada is currently the number one supplier of oil to the United States followed by Mexico and then Saudi Arabia. As older oil fields are depleted Canada is willing to open up its very rich oil shale fields. Obama is not interested; he would rather have American dollars flow to Arab nations that fund extremist Islam. Meanwhile the Chinese understand the value and volume of Canadian oil. Sinopec, a Chinese state-controlled oil company, has invested $5.5 billion to build the Northern Gateway Pipeline from Alberta to the Pacific Coast province of British Columbia where oil can be loaded on the Chinese tankers.

THE WEINER PROBLEM AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT Why was President Barack Obama so eager to request that Twitter-disgraced congressman Anthony Weiner resign? Just maybe he feared the other half of the Weiner scandal would surface in the media. Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, is a very close confidante and advisor to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Abedin holds a top security clearance at the State Department, but also has open associations with the Muslim Brotherhood. It is more than likely that the decision by the Administration to recognize the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt as a legitimate organization was orchestrated by her.

Considering her associations, can Huma Abedin be trusted or is she in fact a double agent for the Muslim Brotherhood? Her mother, who lives in Saudi Arabia, is a member of The Sisterhood, which is the female version of the Muslim Brotherhood. Human Events reported that Huma Abedin’s brother—Hassan Abedin—has collaborated with Omar Naseef and Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, two of the most influential terror supporters in the world. The presence of Huma Abedin as a close advisor to the Secretary of State is in itself a statement on the position of the Obama Administration.

OBAMA, GEORGE SOROS AND THE LIBYAN “REBELS”The foreign affairs advisor for a top U.S. lobby firm hired to represent the rebels of Libya just a few months ago was serving as President Obama’s special representative to Egypt, where he reportedly held a clandestine meeting with the Muslim Brotherhood. In addition, a public relations firm working on behalf of the rebels recently arranged a meeting for Libya’s opposition with a progressive group funded by billionaire George Soros that is known for its close relationship with the White House. There seems to be a revolving door at the White House with advisors leaving to join consulting firms that champion radical agendas.

THE CONGRESS ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND TERROR
NBC APOLOGIZES TO CONGRESS FOR “UNDER GOD” FLAP- Let me say first that this would NEVER have happened if NBC was still owned by General Electric. Comcast, the new owner of NBC, has issued a formal apology to Congressman Randy Forbes (R-VA), the chairman of the Congressional Prayer Caucus, for deleting “under God” from the Pledge during the U.S. Open. Forbes and more than 100 other congressmen had written a letter to NBC complaining about the incident.

The president of Comcast, Kyle McSlarrow, said: “We have made quite clear — internally and externally — that the employees who made this decision were wrong,” he said. “Not only were countless citizens justifiably upset, but also the actions of this small group cast a negative light on NBC Universal.” He was very blunt: “It was an inexcusable mistake in judgment and it will not be repeated.” Have you read my book on the history of the Pledge of Allegiance? It is still available at www.PledgeUnderGodBook.com.

DON’T FUND SAME-SEX MARRIAGE IN MILITARYRep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) has offered an amendment to H.R. 2219, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 2012, which would prohibit the implementation of the Navy’s new guidance on same sex marriage for its chaplains. This comes after the Navy recently issued guidance to their chaplains to officiate at same-sex marriages on military bases. This was a contradiction to the Defense of Marriage Act, and so Members of Congress sent a letter urging the rescindment of this new policy forcing the Navy to halt the policy – for now. This amendment would stop any future implementation of these guidelines. Please contact your congressman for support!

 CULTURE AND RELIGION
GAYS FOR JON HUNTSMANI was just a little stunned when someone e-mailed me a link to a story in Q Salt Lake. The Q stands for queer and it is a gay newspaper in Salt Lake City which has semi-endorsed Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman. Rather than editorialize I will quote directly from the gay site:

“While there are no official endorsements from any caucuses or groups within the Republican Party yet, the Utah Log Cabin Republicans worked with Huntsman when he was governor, and are ready and willing to work continue that relationship,” Melvin Nimer, the president of the ULCR, said. “Huntsman was the first governor of Utah to open up the governor’s mansion to the LGBT community,” Nimer said. “They [the Huntsman campaign team] have reached out to get some help from us and some people within the group are working with him.”

Having read this glowing endorsement of Huntsman in an official “queer” site, I think I will personally reach out to a different presidential candidate.

SISTER WIVESIn 2003 the Supreme Court in Lawrence v. Texas said that no law could be passed prohibiting sodomy or any other same-sex act. Justice Scalia said the decision would be, “the end of all morals legislation.” Actually I believe Scalia was wrong: the case simply changed the morals of the nation legally. Every single law is some kind of a moral judgment. In the Lawrence case the moral line in the sand with regard to sex was moved toward sodomy and led directly to same-sex marriage and now to polygamy.

The polygamist family on the TV series “Sister Wives” has filed a lawsuit against the state of Utah, attempting to do for polygamists what the Lawrence V. Texas case mentioned above did for homosexuals. The Lawrence v. Texas case is being used as the basis of the polygamist lawsuit. American Muslim men will be the chief benefactors of a victory since Islam permits four wives. In the UK Muslim men can put their multiple wives and as many children as they can have on the welfare roles. That will be the result in the United States as well.

HONOR KILLINGS IN THE WESTEach year thousands of young women are murdered by their fathers and brothers in the name of “honor.” Young women who have been raped are also killed because so many Muslims believe that the rape victim has “dishonored” the family by being raped. A solemn video tribute has been produced in the memory of young women who suffered “honor killings’ in the West and can be viewed at: http://www.memini.co.

INTERNATIONAL
UK female cops required to wear hijab
ISLAMISTS DEMAND TAKEOVER OF THREE UK CITIES - Islamic extremists have called on British Muslims to establish three independent states within the UK. The notorious Muslims Against the Crusades (MAC) group has named Yorkshire towns Bradford and Dewsbury, as well as Tower Hamlets in East London, as test sites for blanket sharia rule. The medieval ‘emirates’ would operate entirely outside British law, according to documents at their MAC website. But is the request that far out of line in the UK? There are now many sharia courts in the United Kingdom that operate openly and often contrary to English law in family matters. Non-Muslim policewomen are required to wear the hijab in Muslim areas. Police cannot enter some Muslim areas in London at all.

PAKISTAN CHRISTIAN SEX SLAVESOne may argue that rape is a phenomenon that affects every society, yet the fact that most of the women raped in Pakistan come from the mere 2% Christian minority speaks for itself. Moreover, if you read the individual stories of the rapes you soon learn that in every single case the Pakistani police either did nothing to apprehend the culprits or, more often, actually helped them while turning against the victims.

Even though Pakistan is not a full-blown sharia state and tries to save face in front of the international infidel–sharia has nonetheless conditioned even the police to see Christian women (infidels) as little more than objects of pleasure which Muslim men can violate at will. Still, the United States gives billions of dollars of aid each year to Pakistan despite the fact that it is a nuclear nation that targets democratic India with terror attacks.

ANOTHER MUSLIM ATTACK IN INDIAThe Indian Mujahedeen (IM), which has bragged of eight other terrorist attacks over the last four years, has claimed responsibility for the latest bombings in Mumbai (Bombay) which killed 23 and wounded many more innocent civilians on July 13th, 2011. This was the worst Islamic terror attack in India since November, 2008 when Muslim terrorists from Pakistan entered Mumbai by sea and attacked hotels and a train station killing 164 people and wounding at least 308 innocent civilians.

Some background: India at one time was comprised of not only the current land area of India but Pakistan and Bangladesh as well. The nation was divided to accommodate Muslims who wanted their own nation in 1947. All Hindus fled south into India. Not satisfied with their own Islamic nation, Muslims now want to terrorize India in the name of Jihad. Virtually all terror attacks in India are in some way assisted by Pakistani intelligence which receives military funding from the United States. Our tax dollars at work!

IMAM SAYS: “THE WORLD BELONGS TO US” At a Muslim Brotherhood related Internet site Egyptian Shaykh Safwat Hegazy in a recent video threatened Jews and Christians, and ultimately the whole world, saying, “Jerusalem belongs to us, and the whole world belongs to us.” He states the Islamic caliphate will return, and that “every land upon which Islam has set foot will return to us.” He makes pointed references to Qurayza and Khaybar, which are clear threats against the Jews, and also states, “we will kill anyone who has polluted the al-Aqsa Mosque.”

Hegazy is a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and has a very popular TV show, “Age of Glory,” on the al-Nas television network. During the uprising against Mubarak , he addressed crowds at Tahrir Square in Cairo. He stood directly behind Shaykh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the head of the Muslim Brotherhood, when the latter led more than one million Muslims in Tahrir Square in prayer after Mubarak stepped down. This is the group that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she was looking forward to “working with” in Egypt.

ISLAMIC EDUCATION - On July 15th, 2011 police in Indonesia arrested the head of the Umar Bin Khatab Islamic boarding school after a bomb exploded at the school. Police finally entered the school building after being obstructed by dozens of locals carrying sharp weapons to find bomb making manuals and materials used as “teaching aids.” Moderate Islam at its best.

Report From Washington - July 15, 2011

Obama, the debt and the bluff / Obama's Voice of America says Islamists want reform / NBC give Congress an apology over "under God" omission / Senate Bill on religious freedom / Sister Wives takes to the courts/ Another Muslim terror attack in India / Why so many anti-Israel UN resolutions? / Boko Haram kills again and again and again.

THE PRESIDENCY
Obama, an inside look
"DON'T CALL MY BLUFF, ERIC" - Those were the words of President Barack Obama before he stormed out a budget meeting this week. Immediately a massive media campaign, bordering on anti-Semitic, was launched by the mainstream media against Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Senator Harry Reid referred to him as "childish" and MSNBC went on what could only be described as a binge of hatred against Cantor. What did Eric Cantor do or say to cause this tantrum by President Obama and his allies? Cantor asked the President to be "specific" about what spending cuts he would agree to. The President's position is: Give me what I want now and I will let you know sometime in the future what it is I am willing do in spending cuts. Who sounds childish?
OBAMA'S VOICE OF AMERICA - Today the headline at the Voice of America website run by the US government said, "Braving Scorching Heat, Egyptians Rally to Press for Reforms." Reforms? The organizers, calling for a "million man march" accusing "secularists" of stealing the coming elections. The Sharia Association of Rights and Reforms also stated that stated that Islamic Sharia is the majority choice for Egypt, accusing secularists and liberals of trying to outflank the true preferences of the Egyptian people. The Question: Are the editors of Voice of America promoting Islamic sharia law in Egypt or is their reporting just totally inept?

THE CONGRESS 
NBC APOLOGIZES TO CONGRESS OVER "UNDER GOD" FLAP- Let me say first that this would NEVER have happened if NBC was still owned by General Electric. Comcast, the new owner of NBC has issued a formal apology to Congressman Randy Forbes (R-VA), the chairman of the Congressional Prayer Caucus, for deleting "under God" from the Pledge during the U.S. Open.

"Not only were countless citizens justifiable upset, but also the actions of this small group cast a negative light on NBC Universal." He was very blunt: "It was an inexcusable mistake in judgment and it will not be repeated."
SENATE BILL ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM - Missouri Republican Senator Roy Blunt has recently introduced the Near East and South Central Asia Religious Freedom Act of 2011 (S. 1245). The legislation would give the Secretary of State the authority to name a Special Envoy to promote the religious freedom of religious minorities in the Near East and Central Asia. The Special Envoy would be an expert in human rights and religious freedom issues and would have the rank of Ambassador. Read more

The Texas case is being used as the basis of the suit. American Muslims men will be the chief benefactors of a victory. In the UK Muslim men can put up to four wives and as many children as they can have on the welfare rolls. Coming to the USA soon!


CHAIRMAN'S REPORT BY WILLIAM J MURRAY
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT FOR JUNE 29th, 2011 - William J Murray reports on President Obama, Congress and terrorism. This issue includes Obama's drive to make us more dependent on energy from despotic nations and his release of oil from the Strategic Reserve. The genocide of Christians in the Sudan which Obama is also ignoring while assisting Muslims in Egypt is questioned. At the Capitol Peter King's hearings on radical Islam in our prisons and the Child Interstate Abortion Notification bill are investigated. On the international front the continued slaughter of Christians in Nigeria by the Boko Haram is discussed. Also covered is the continued push for sharia law in Egypt by elements of the Muslim Brotherhood.

ANOTHER MUSLIM ATTACK IN INDIA -
The Indian Mujahideen (IM), which has claimed eight other terrorist attacks over the last four years had claimed responsibility for the latest bombings in Mumbai (Bombay) which killed 23 and wounded many more innocent civilians. Some background: India at one time comprised of not only the current land area of India but Pakistan and Bangladesh as well.

ANTI-ISRAEL UN RESOLUTIONS EXPLAINED - The UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has made the democratic State of Israel the target of incessant condemnation while neglecting its mandate in challenging the oppressive regimes around the world. A new, short, video uncovers the factors behind the United Nations bias against Israel. I encourage you to view the clip at Youtube.
BOKO HARAM KILLS DAILY - On average the Islamic group, Boko Haram kills at least on innocent man, woman or child each day in Nigeria in the name of Mohammed. This week the group attacked a police station killing cops and stealing weapons. Sharia already exists in northern Nigeria but that is not enough for the group. "Boko Haram wants to establish god's kingdom on earth through Islamic institutions, and establish sharia in all the states in Nigeria," says Council on Foreign Relations' John Campbell.

RELEASE ASIA BIBI NOW - Pakistani Christians are demanding the release of Asia Bibi, mother of five, who has been falsely accused of blasphemy and jailed for nearly two years. Blasphemy laws in Pakistan are used to blackmail Christians and steal their homes and land. This is just one more outrage. More at Pakistan Christian Post

January 30, 2009 - Washington, DC

Obama pays back the trial lawyers / NBC says no to Obama ad - it is too pro-life / More on the abortion president / Pledge Protection Act / Virtually no road construction in "Stimulus" bill / Stimulus cost is $2700 per person / Force doctors to perform abortions? / Iraqi Christians need our help
Read More Below

THE PRESIDENCY
PAY BACK THE TRIAL LAWYERS- The first bill to be signed by President Barack Obama was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act which effectively nullifies a 2007 Supreme Court decision that denied Lilly Ledbetter the right to sue her employer years after she left. The bill was actually written by trial lawyers and was introduced in Congress to allow lawsuits on "discriminatory" pay to women.

THE ABORTION PRESIDENT - NBC has rejected a pro-life Super Bowl commercial that praises President Barack Obama's mother for not aborting the first African-American president. The video has risen in popularity on YouTube with nearly a million viewings. The commercial emphasized that the baby she carried was at high social risk, with a broken home, a father who would abandon him and a single mother. The commercial begins with an ultrasound image of a baby moving in his mother's womb. The ad was financed by Fidelis, a Catholic group. View ad here.

MORE ABORTION PRESIDENT - President Obama's pro-abortion agenda is being made very clear by him. Read the "reproductive choice" section of the new White House website. It states that the new President. "... has been a consistent champion of reproductive choice and will make preserving women's rights under Roe v. Wade a priority in his Administration." See site

THE CONGRESS
Pledge Under God PLEASE ACT NOW - Congressman Todd Akin is once again preparing to introduce the Pledge Protection Act which would defend "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance to our nation's flag. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has sat on the atheist lawsuit to remove "under God" from the Pledge in hopes that the Justice Department under Barack Obama will agree with them that it is unconstitutional. We must be ready to defend "under God" in the Pledge. The Religious Freedom Coalition has a new social networking site to form groups to defend "under God" at www.pledgeundergod.com. Please register to help at that site!

NO NEW ROADS IN STIMULUS - Congressman Eric Cantor, the Minority Whip, stated that only 12 cents on the dollar of the $900 billion stimulus could be considered as being spent on infrastructure. Senator Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma in his analysis said only $30 billion of the $900 billion was for roads and bridges. Where does the majority of the money go? The rest of the billions of dollars is pay-off for groups that helped elect Democrats. ACORN will get $4.9 billion. There is $2.7 billion for embryonic research which kills unborn babies for their parts; $150 billion to double the Department of Education's funding; $1.5 billion to build "green schools," and more. Almost 90% of the bill is pork to liberal groups and ideals that will not stimulate the economy.

STIMULUS COST - The "Stimulus Bill" comes at a cost of $2,700 for each man, woman and child in the United States if we all paid up this year. But our government is going to borrow this money from the Chinese and the Saudis with initial interest of $45 billion per year. Odds are that our government will never be able to pay the principle and our great great grandchildren will still be paying interest on the loans.

CULTURE AND RELIGION
FORCE DOCTORS TO DO ABORTIONS? - Yes, says Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union. The two groups are suing the Department of Health and Human Services over regulations to reinforce federal laws that protect doctors from being forced to participate in abortion and other procedures that are against their religious beliefs or conscience. Dr. David Stevens, executive director of the Christian Medical Association said, "We consider the right of conscience to be the biggest issues we face." Read more.
