Reheated: Trojan Horse Jihadist Political Party at the Gate

With this years midterms soaking up much of the news cycle and certain controversial politicians receiving more than a usual share of coverage by the media, familiar words from the past again are gaining to the forefront. 'The Muslim Brotherhood.' Words soon forgotten when in early 2015 a wealthy golfer & New Yorker Real-Estate dude became the media's dark soul fulling obsession, and the Brotherhood quietly withdrew into the background, working virtual unnoticed. 

I dove into the dank archives of DMF and re-read the posts we did from a decade past and pulled some text that might help explain why some are expecting ties to the Brotherhood to be a problem for some. Like Abdul el-Shthed.

Here, reheated from April of 2014:

Muslim Brotherhood Launches Own U.S. Political Party

After making major inroads inside the European Parliaments, Islam now turns their sights towards America, ripe with multicultural, leftist useful idiot defenders of the religion of peace.

"With an eye toward the 2016 election, the radical Muslim Brotherhood has built the framework for a political party in America that seeks to turn Muslims into an Islamist voting bloc.

'Muslim voters have the potential to be swing voters in 2016," said Nihad Awad in launching the benign-sounding U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations, whose membership reads like a Who's Who of Brotherhood front groups. "We are aiming to bring more participation from the Muslim community."

"USCMO also aims to elect Islamists in Washington, with the ultimate objective of "institutionalizing policies" favorable to Islamists — that is, Shariah law.

This development bears careful monitoring in light of the U.S. Brotherhood's recently exposed goal to wage a "civilization jihad" against America that explicitly calls for infiltrating the U.S. political system and "destroying (it) from within."

The subversive plan was spelled out in hundreds of pages of founding archives that the FBI confiscated from a Brotherhood leader's home in the Washington suburbs after 9/11. Translated from Arabic, the secret documents listed a number of Brotherhood front organizations — some of which just happen to make up the newly formed USCMO."

Obama Administration Gets Cozy with Muslim Brotherhood Front Group

"The Obama administration’s close relationship with The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), a group with Muslim Brotherhood origins is about more than photo ops and press releases. It is about policy formulation....." 

"On March 8, ISNA President Mohamed Magid joined 10 other religious leaders in a 90-minute conversation with President Obama about immigration reform. Also present was senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett, who spoke at ISNA’s 2009 convention....." 

KNOCK KNOCK! 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

  

The DOJ likely already had all the evidence needed to indict Ilhan Omar (otherwise, a federal judge wouldn’t have authorized a search warrant this close to an election). If I had to guess, the indictments were ready to file weeks ago. 

 The raid today was bait to get Democratic candidates on the record supporting Omar. “I stand with Ilhan,” “Ilhan is the best of America,” etc.

A Good Monday Morning

It's Their Unholy Alliance That Endangers the Republic

The events of the past couple of months have given pause to many, and in some circles say the present rightward swing of the pendulum's direction has all but used up its energy. But with their embarrassing theatre kids antics and epic incompetence we have witnessed, democrats are torn even more now than ever between far left totalitarian instincts on one side and the Liberals' complete political malpractice on the other. Their seething contempt for the conservation of anything valuable and rational in governing remains whole, complete and total. It is psychologically and professionally impossible for anybody on the left to admit the simple truth that the Right has been right about the Left all along because it would mean being forced to eat the seething contempt for all things conservative that has been wired so deeply into their identities for so long.

The result of this crippling and impenetrable psychological block is that is remains imperative to the left sense of self that the right (that'd be you and me) continue to be caricatured as fucking awful humans. 

Everybody knows that the democrat party has been a shitpile of closeted bigots and imbeciles for decades. They sometime do not try very hard to hide it. Others will contend that because they live in distant and violent land the natives call Blue States, that despite their self proclaimed superior political expertise, the Left are destructive, clueless mopes whose fecklessness may yet topple the republic as we know it. So it should come as no surprise that the mainstream media has found a comfy chair for every race-baiter or Never Trumper with a book to sell or grift to flog. (lookin' at you Squinty & Meat Puppet) 

The American media will never get better. It will just keep getting worse.

But why, Diogenes', you ask? Why is it so bad everywhere, from the national media to your local, dying newspaper? How is it that this vast, shambolic, humiliating, and very public failure of our Fourth Estate, a failure that is dragging out democracy down with it, just goes on and on getting worse and worse?

Simple. Because there are no equally powerful countervailing institutions out there in the world in charge of pushing back against it or in any way holding it accountable. Instead of operating as a vital civic institution the media is basically Facebook's older, stupider cousin, without Facebook's malevolent, precision-guided algorithms designed to prolong "engagement" and keep your eyes on its ads, but with the same "Sponsors Uber Alles" ethos informing every decision. And the reason nothing can stop it is because, other than catching the occasional fine for saying "fuck" on broadcast teevee, there are no consequences for pumping the public's skulls full of toxic leftist garbage. 

As for the gory details of how and why the media is everywhere top-heavy with leftist hacks and mopes and frauds, no insider with deep knowledge of the hows and the whys is ever going to rat them out. There will never be a Joe Valachi of the media, exposing how the business really works to the entire country. Forget the "respectable" press. They're as relentlessly profit-driven as everyone else, and to them those tens of millions of deranged bigots and imbeciles on the Left (and their friends an relatives) are just current or potential customers.

No matter how many business windows the fascist Teefa Soy Boyz destroy, or how many muslims fraudsters are exposed, or how many lies democrats tell, the "respectable" press will always leaven that news with their certainty that some conservative somewhere, real or not, has probably (or will probably) do something just as bad.

Anyone Seen Little James?

With just 28 days remaining until he faces off against Republican candidate Ken Paxton, Democrat James Talarico campaign has gone dark and he is nowhere to be found. 

According to Townhall:

"Talarico has not been seen publicly in Texas in over a week, with his last appearance on Saturday, September 26, before he took a fundraising trip to New York City. There, he was treated to a VIP fundraising dinner where attendees, like a filmmaker who labeled America a “shithole” and a group that advocates for child sex change surgeries, were charged $27,000 a plate.

On September 30 Talarico was slated to speak with the U.S. Hispanic Business Council in the Rio Grande Valley, but instead joined virtually from a hotel because “his staff says he’s ill and was unable to travel.” During the appearance, Talarico claimed that he was forced to seek care at an urgent care clinic in Dallas, but social media users have disputed the timeline offered by the candidate. 

Then, October 2, the Talarico campaign chose to recycle footage from a February 22 rally before Talarico had even won the Democrat nomination, and tried to pass it off as current. His campaign cancelled an event slated for October 5 with the Central Texas African American Civic Engagement Symposium, and planned appearance for October 6 has been rescheduled. The campaign calendar currently shows no scheduled public appearances."

Diogenes is investigating rumors from sources in Texas Talarico is being treated for a tragic diagnosis of  'Rapid Testicular Regression' and 'Negative Testosterone Level'.
