Have Turkish Citizens Had Enough of Erdogan’s Taffy? (Viva Attaturk!)

Recent days have seen expand­ing pop­u­lar protests in Turkey. Turned back by heavy-hand­ed tac­tics by the coun­try’s Fetul­lah Gulen-dom­i­nat­ed police estab­lish­ment, the demon­stra­tions appear to embody a broad­er pop­u­lar dis­sat­is­fac­tion with Erdo­gan’s Islamist gov­ern­ment. Far from being “mod­er­ate,” Erdo­gan’s gov­ern­ment has sys­tem­at­i­cal­ly sti­fled jour­nal­is­tic and polit­i­cal expres­sion. UPDATED ON 6/6/2013.


Homeland Insecurity, Part 2: Muslim Brotherhood Infiltrating Department of Homeland Security

The Mus­lim Broth­er­hood pres­ence in U.S. nation­al secu­ri­ty insti­tu­tions con­tin­ues to grow. That Islam­ic fas­cist orga­ni­za­tion has devel­oped a con­sid­er­able pres­ence in the Depart­ment of Home­land Secu­ri­ty.


Divine Laissez Faire: Comparing the Theocratic Free Market Philosophies of the Muslim Brotherhood and The Family

“Free Mar­ket” prin­ci­ples are man­i­fest­ing behind fun­da­men­tal­ist reli­gious cov­er. The Chris­t­ian fun­da­men­tal­ist group The Fam­i­ly wields pro­found influ­ence in Wash­ing­ton, behind an ide­ol­o­gy that sees lais­sez-faire eco­nom­ics as “God’s will.” The Mus­lim Broth­er­hood’s Islamism also views free-mar­ket prin­ci­ples as “Divine” in ori­gin.

Strange Twist in the Clements Murder Case

The chief sus­pect in the mur­der of Col­orado Cor­rec­tions chief Tom Clements was affil­i­at­ed with white-suprema­cist prison gangs, accord­ing to author­i­ties. Now comes the news that the sus­pec­t’s father was close friends with and a cam­paign con­trib­u­tor to, the gov­er­nor of Col­orado.


Grover Norquist Strikes Again!

Ear­li­er this month, the Tea Party/GOP Right demon­strat­ed their hypocrisy, as well as the degree of sol­i­dar­i­ty between the Islam­ic fas­cists of the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood and the GOP. The Jihad Watch web­site received the “Peo­ple’s Choice Award” at the 2013 Con­ser­v­a­tive Polit­i­cal Action Com­mit­tee. The award­ing of the hon­or was blocked, how­ev­er by the Tea Par­ty Repub­li­cans, who would only con­sent to give the award if the admin­is­tra­tors of the site would agree not to crit­i­cize Grover Norquist.


Rudi Dekkers Enters a Sealed Plea: May Never Go to Trial

For years, we’ve cov­ered the hero­ic, lone­ly research done by Daniel Hop­sick­er on the 9/11-relat­ed flight schools in South­ern Flori­da. One of the prin­ci­pals in the intel­li­gence-com­mu­ni­ty-con­trolled drug traf­fick­ing milieu through which Mohamed Atta and asso­ciates infil­trat­ed the Unit­ed States was recent­ly arrest­ed in Hous­ton for drug smug­gling. Dekkers has entered a seal plea agree­ment, which will like­ly mute any pub­lic dis­clo­sure of the find­ings in the case.


Falling to Earth: September 11th Flight School Operator Rudi Dekkers Arrested for Drug Trafficking

Long able to escape legal ret­ri­bu­tion for his actions, Huff­man Avi­a­tion oper­a­tor Rudi Dekkers appears to have run out of luck. The Dutch/German pilot who ran the flight school through which 9/11 hijack­er Mohammed Atta and his Ger­man and Aus­tri­an asso­ciates infil­trat­ed the Unit­ed States has been arrest­ed in Hous­ton for drug traf­fick­ing. It remains to be seen what comes of this inves­ti­ga­tion, but the impli­ca­tions are poten­tial­ly stag­ger­ing.


How Did George W. Bush Spend the Campaign?

Although he has done so out of the lime­light, George W. Bush has stayed true to form. Dubya made speech­es in the Cay­man Islands, instruct­ing atten­dees at his talk on how to invest out­side the Unit­ed States. At least Bush is con­sis­tent. He worked against the best eco­nom­ic and polit­i­cal inter­ests of the Unit­ed States and con­tin­ues to do so. One can but won­der what tips he may have got­ten from Mitt Rom­ney in this regard, or vice ver­sa.


August, 2001: Israeli Intelligence Officers Travel to Washington to Warn of Impending “Large Scale” Bin Laden Terror Attacks

Israeli intel­li­gence warned the CIA of impend­ing “large scale” attacks by Bin Laden net­work. Two offi­cers were sent to Wash­ing­ton in August, 2001 to warn U.S. Is this part of the rea­son Truthers, neo-Nazis, Saud­is, Bushies and oth­ers blame the attacks on Mossad?
