Connect the Dots: Operation Penetrate – Part Two

Beforewe go further, I think it would be prudent to provide a brief explanation as tojust who some of these terrorist organizations and terrorist sympathizers are.

ALQAEDA: Al Qaeda is aglobal militant Islamic terrorist organization founded by Osama bin Laden in1988/1989. Al Qaeda calls for a global Islamic jihad and is best known for itsattacks on America on September 11, 2001. It has been designated a terroristorganization by the United States, the United Nations Security Council, theEuropean Union and NATO as well as various other countries. (Source)

AlSHABAAB: Also knownas Harakat al-Shabaab al-Mujahideen (HSM), Al Shabaab is a militant Islamicorganization that has been attempting to overthrow the government of Somalia.In November 2009, Al Shabaab established an Al Quds Brigade, a paramilitaryunit created specifically for attacking Israel and Jewish interests in Africa.In 2010, Al Shabaab announced that it maintained strong ties with Al Qaeda.They are probably best known for their attack on Danish cartoonist KurtWestergaard due to his satirical cartoons featuring Mohammed. Al Shabaab has beendesignated a terrorist organization by Australia, Canada, Norway, Sweden, theUnited Kingdom and the United States. (Source)

HAMAS:Hamas was founded in 1987 as an off-shoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. According toit’s charter, Hamas exists to establish an Islamic state in Israel, the WestBank and the Gaza Strip. Hamas is known to use violence against U.S. interestsin the Middle East and on American soil. Hamas has received support from Iranand collaborates with the terrorist group Hezbollah. Hamas was designated aterrorist organization by the U.S. State Department in 1993. (Source)

HEZBOLLAH: Also known as the “Party of god”,Hezbollah receives training, weapons and financial support from Iran and Syria.Several countries have classified Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, and itwas designated as such by the United States in 1999. (Source)

THEMUSLIM BROTHERHOOD: Founded in 1928, the Muslim Brotherhoodclaims to be a non-religious political party. It’s stated goals include theinstillation of the Koran and the Sunnah as the “sole reference point forordering the life of the Muslim family, individual, community and state.” Thisincludes the enforcement of Shariah law, the re-establishment of the Caliphate,and imposing the jizya tax on allnon-Muslims in exchange for protection from the state. Its slogan is “Islam isthe solution.” All of the 9/11 hijackers were associated with the MuslimBrotherhood, and the current leader of Al Qaeda was arrested in the 1980’s dueto his involvement with Muslim Brotherhood terrorist activities. The MuslimBrotherhood maintains a presence in Bahrain, Syria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan,Israel, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Yeman, Algeria, Sudan, Somalia, Tunisia, theUnited Kingdom and the United States. In spite of its documented terroristactivities and close ties with known terrorist organizations, the MuslimBrotherhood has not been designated a terrorist organization. (Source) (Source) (Source)

Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR):CAIR is a pro-Islamic advocacy group founded in 1994 by Omar Ahmad, Nihad Awad,and Rafeeq Jaber, three officials of the Islamic Association of Palestine(IAP), an organization described as having intimate ties with the terror groupHamas. CAIR is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and has regional officesnationwide. In 2007 CAIR was named by federal prosecutors as an unindictedco-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorist funding investigation. In2008, FBI Special Agent Lara Burns stated that CAIR was “a front group forHamas, and in 2009  FBI headquartersissued a mandate to all FBI field offices to sever all ties with CAIR as aresult of CAIR’s ties with Hamas.

Connect the Dots: Operation Penetrate – Part One

I really enjoyed the Mel Gibson film Conspiracy Theory. In fact, I love conspiracies altogether. Notthat I believe them, but they are fun. One of the things that I findfascinating about them is that in any good conspiracy, there is at least agrain of truth. I would even go so far to say that in any good conspiracy, thefacts are almost always true or at least a good percentage of them. The problemdoes not lie in the facts surrounding the conspiracy, but in the conclusion,the interpretation of those facts.

Of course, the facts must be pertinent to the conspiracy;otherwise the conclusion / conspiracy will sound completely ridiculousregardless of the truth of the facts surrounding it. One can say that the formerlogo used by Procter & Gamble featured what appeared to be rams horns, andthat the logo also featured a male face that was attached to the rams horns,and the numbers 666 appear throughout the logo and that the logo also featured13 stars. All of this is true – at least to some extent. The conclusion basedon these facts, however, was that since the number 666 is the number of Satan,and that the devil has rams horns and that the number 13 is also a satanicnumber – then obviously Procter & Gamble is a satanic organization. Theproblem with this is that it is all hogwash. The so-called ram’s horns areactually the moon, and the face is that of the man in the moon, and the 666that is seen is merely curls in the hair and beard of the man in the moon. Butyou can see where conspiracies must have actual documented facts that arepertinent to the conclusion in order to be even remotely believable. One mustbe able to connect the dots so to speak, and the dots must follow a logicalprogression in order to arrive at a reasonable conclusion. Whether or not thatconclusion is true is another matter.

Now that’s one heck of a prologue isn’t it! So, with thatall being said, I will now present a group of facts that I have noticed overthe past several months while surfing the web. I will not present a final conclusionbased on this group of facts, however. I will leave that up to the reader (andno, the images appearing in this article are not a conclusion, they are merelysatirical in nature, so don’t draw any conclusions based on them. Draw yourconclusions only on the facts presented). But I would be interested to see ifthese are all just random facts that do not lead to any conclusion, or if thereis something really here. If the following facts really were part of aconspiracy (as opposed to nothing more than completely random unconnected factsand incidents) then I would call this (non) conspiracy:

“After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, we learned that ourimmigration system had been used by foreign terrorists to gain a safe haven inthe United States. All of the 9/11 hijackers received visas to come to the U.S.And once they were here, all but one of the 9/11 hijackers acquired some formof a U.S. identification document. These forms of ID helped them boardcommercial flights on 9/11.” – Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) (Source)

“The southern border isporous, and we need to shut it down if we hope to get ahead of the problemsthat illegal immigration brings, …Less than 5 percent of the 125,000 containerscoming into this country each day are ever inspected.” – Joe M. Allbaugh,former FEMA Director  (Source)

In February 2011, the United States GovernmentAccountability Office (GAO) released a report which states that of the 1,969mile border with Mexico, only 873 have been deemed secure according to thestandards of the Department of Homeland Security. (Source)

Thereis little doubt that the federal government has either created a porous border(overtly or covertly), or has been ineffectual in creating a secure border(either overtly or covertly). Even the director of the FBI, Robert Mueller hasstated that we “live in a world where borders and boundaries are increasinglyirrelevant.” (Source)

Thatthe federal government has allowed such a porous border, and that FBI DirectorMueller considers borders irrelevant is cause for concern, especially in lightof known anti-America terrorist groups operating in Canada and Mexico. It hasbeen speculated that there are more international terrorist organizationsactive in Canada than anywhere else in the world. Groups such as Al Qaeda,Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Armed Islamic Group (GIA) and the EgyptianIslamic Jihad group are all suspected of operating in Canada. (Source). Rep. JohnCulbertson of Texas has stated that Mexico is home to Al Qaeda training camps(Source), and there isevidence that both Hezbollah and Iran have a strong presence in Mexico as well.(Source). Hezbollah has even gone so far as to bragabout waging war on the United States, yet for some reason, the Americangovernment seems to be ignoring this. (Source)
