Hezbollah is here

Will Congress pass Obamacare by the end of the year?

Sheeple thought of the day: "Hezbollah is not my problem."

You think Hezbollah is only Israel's headache? Wake up. Iranian Hezbollah's spokesman Mojtaba Bigdeli's threat on Tuesday to dispatch 2,000 operatives "to every corner of the world to jeopardize Israel and America's interests" is more than just idle Islamic heavy breathing.

The Jew-hating terrorists of Hezbollah who call themselves the "party of God" are already here. In America. Plotting attacks. Raising money. Slipping through the cracks.

In May, the New York Post reported on Hezbollah's plans to activate sleeper cells in New York, Los Angeles, Boston and Detroit as the nuclear showdown with Iran heats up. One focal point: "the Iranian Mission to the United Nations, where there have already been three episodes in the last four years in which diplomats and security guards have been expelled for casing and photographing New York City subways and other potential targets." Heightened alert comes in the wake of reports that Iranian crackpot president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad met with Hezbollah leaders in Syria earlier this year.

Four years ago, I reported on how information-sharing walls between federal immigration and law enforcement agencies created a path to citizenship for at least one known Hezbollah member. He walked through our figurative front door. The then-assistant district director for INS investigations in New York City and two FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) officials were placed on administrative leave when the bungle was discovered.

Sources informed me the unidentified Middle Eastern male -- now a fellow American -- appeared on terrorist watch lists and is a member of the Hezbollah terrorist organization. Despite numerous calls from adjudicators in Newark, N.J., handling the alleged terrorist's naturalization case, the FBI and INS reportedly did not respond to requests to turn over the individual's "alien file." The A-file includes biographical and status information and investigative data. It is unclear why INS and the JTTF did not turn over the file, or why the New York office neglected to order the adjudications branch in Newark to put the naturalization process on hold.

Why did INS adjudicators in Newark proceed without viewing the alleged terrorist's file? Adjudicators to this day remain under intense pressure to meet naturalization "quotas." Job-performance ratings and cash bonuses are based on the number of naturalization approvals processed. It's standard operating procedure.

Hezbollah has also enlisted the aid of gullible American women to ease their way into the country. Continued...

THE JIHADI NEXT DOOR
REMEMBER A FIREBRAND ISSUE NOT TOO LONG AGO CALLED Y2K? MY WIFE AND I WERE ON STAFF OF A LARGE ADDICTIONS RECOVERY MINISTRY IN FLORIDA. WE HAD 84 MEN TO PLAN PROVISION FOR, AS WELL AS STAFF AND THEIR FAMILIES. AMID THE 'YUKS' AND NAYSAYERS WE BEGAN TO HAVE STAFF MEETINGS TO PLAIN FOR "WHATEVER". OUR MOTTO BECAME: PREPARE TO SHARE.

AND, EVEN THOUGH THAT BIG COMPUTER MELTDOWN DIDN'T HAPPEN, AND WE LAID IN A LOT OF DRIED BEANS, DRINKING WATER, CANNED GOODS, GENERATORS, AND FUEL, ETC. ("YUK, YUK... ON US"), WE WERE READY. AND, MOST OF THOSE PROCUREMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN WASTED TO DATE, AND ARE STILL GOOD TO GO. SOMEONE SAID: IT'S BETTER TO HAVE AND NOT NEED, THAN TO NEED AND NOT HAVE.

TODAY, WE HAVE TALK OF SLEEPER CELLS, AND HOW WE IN THE UNITED STATES ARE SHARING TOP BILLING ON A "RADICAL TRERRORIST HIT LIST" WITH ISREAL. I SAY "PREPARE TO SHARE". WITH THE GROWING DIVISION AMOUNG PEOPLE GROUPS IN THIS GREAT MELTING POT OF A NATION, IT COULD GET PRETTY UGLY IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY DOWN TO OUR VERY NEIGHBORHOODS. IMMAGINE ABOUT A HUNDRED FOLD KATRINA TYPE CRISIS HITTING OVERNIGHT. WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN YOU GO TO THE SINK, AND THE WATER WON'T COME ON?

AM I TALKING GLOOM AND DOOM? NO, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, BUT WE MUST REDEEM THE TIME, AND PREPARE TO REDEEM OUR WAY OF LIFE, IF IT COMES TO THAT. YES, LAY IN 3 MONTHS SUPPLY OF "EMERGENCY EVERYTHING". GET YOUR HANDS ON SOME SURVIVAL BOOKS. READ UP ON WHAT YOU SHOULD ACTULLY HAVE ON HAND BEFORE THE UTILITIES GO DOWN. BEFORE THE RUN ON THE BANKS, AND STORES. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF, FOR A WEEK, OR A MONTH, OR LONGER THERE WAS NO 911 OPERATOR TO CALL? EVEN AFTER THE GREAT Y2K FIRE DRILL, I'D STILL RATHER HAVE AND NOT NEED, THAN NEED AND NOT HAVE. IN A WORSE CASE SCENARIO WHAT IS YOUR FAMILY'S PLAN? WITH MOST OF US HAVING FAMILY STRUNG OUT ACROSS THIS NATION DO WE HAVE A CLUE WHAT WE WILL DO IF WE ARE CUT OFF FROM ALL MEANS OF TRAVEL, AND COMMUNICATON?

AND YES, I'LL SAY IT. ARM YOURSELVES. "PREPARE TO SHARE (AND) PASS THE AMMUNITION!" REMEMBER, HOW UGLY IT GOT DURING KATRINA? A LARGE PART OF THAT WAS WHEN THUGS CAME OUT OF THE WOODWORK TO TAKE WHAT WASN'T THEIRS.

WHILE THE SLEEPER JIHADIS ARE GETTING READY FOR US, LET'S BE ABOUT GETTING READY FOR THEM!
