<strong>
</strong><strong>AMMAN , JORDAN</strong> Iraqi interpreter Bassam
Hashem was having lunch with colleagues at the Loyalty Camp in Baghdad,
a U.S. military base, when an Iraqi colonel in the federal police
force turned toward them from the next table.<br />
“ ‘We will get you when the Americans leave,’ he told us,” said
Hashem, 29, noting the colonel was at the camp to receive training.
“And he was laughing. ‘We will get you all,’ ” he said.<br />
Mohammad Janis Shinwari’s warning came scratched on his car. “Your
judgment day is coming,” was the message to Shinwari, 36, who said the
Taliban has been looking to get him for years.<br />
“They know I saved a U.S. intelligence officer’s life and have
killed Taliban,” he said. “They are trying hard to find me – it’s just a
matter of time.”<br />
Two countries, two conflicts and one common fate shared by thousands
of Iraqis and Afghans such as Shinwari and Hashem: Because they worked
with the U.S. military, they are marked men by militants.<br />
The United States has long been aware of the danger such men put
themselves in by helping the Americans. So it created a special visa for
them to come to work and live in the USA once their assignment was up.
Instead of receiving the visas they have been promised, they have become
snared in a bureaucratic tangle that has forced them into hiding while
they wait for approval.<br />
Kirk Johnson of the group List Project to Resettle Iraqi Allies, said
the U.S. visa system for interpreters is a web of delays in which no
one is held responsible.<br />
The process is designed to reject them or make them wait,” said Johnson, author of<em> To Be a Friend is Fatal: The Fight to Save the Iraqis America Left Behind .</em> “It is as low a moment as it gets for both the Iraqis and Afghans.”<br />
The U.S. State Department said it understands the threat faced by
local hires that work for the U.S. government in both countries, but
those concerns must be balanced with protecting national security.<br />
“We take these threats, and the concerns of those who work with us,
very seriously, and we are committed to providing them with the benefits
for which they are legally eligible,” State responded in an e-mailed
statement. But “we need to be sure that those who wish to do us harm are
not able to take advantage of the program.”<br />
The State Department insists it has improved wait times for
responses to requests for the special visas. If so, critics say, it is
not good enough.<strong></strong><br />
<strong>
</strong><strong>TIME IS NOT ON THEIR SIDE</strong><br />
Of the 25,000 visas allocated by law to Iraqis who worked for the
U.S. government, fewer than 6,000 have been issued since 2008, according
to Katherine Reisner, national policy director of the Iraqi Refugee
Assistance Project at the Urban Justice Center in New York City. Of the
8,750 available for Afghans, fewer than 1,200 have been granted.<br />
Thousands of these Iraqi and Afghan hires deal with escalating
violence in their countries while the visa process, when it works, can
take upward of four years.<br />
The program for Iraqis expired Sept. 30 but was granted a 90-day
extension last week and is due to be extended again for a year. The
Afghan program expires next September.<br />
Johnson was among those who lobbied Congress to establish the special
visa programs. When they became law, he said, he was thrilled that
America had recognized an obligation to interpreters.<br />
“I never imagined that five years later, we would be looking at the
expiration of the program with so many unused visas and an even worse
predicament for the Afghans,” he said. “And when you look at the number
of Iraqi cases still left to process, it would take 17 years to dole out
those remaining visas at the rate we have been g oing.”<br />
Some members of Congress have tried to push the issue, sometimes
pressuring State on particular cases, but Congress cannot overrule a
process that is the authority of the State Department.<br />
Hashem knew from the beginning that it would be dangerous to work
with the Americans. But there was little work in Baghdad, and he lacked
connections to get the few jobs available, so he decided to respond to
the pleas from the U.S. military for help from locals.<strong></strong><br />
<strong>
</strong><strong>DEATH STALKS THEM</strong><br />
He was hired as a translator and began working in January 2009. He
worried about becoming a target for the well-armed Shiite militias
that lurked in most Baghdad neighborhoods. He took precautions. He
avoided the five-minute walk to his mother’s house from the camp and
instead took taxis to distant parts of the city in a roundabout journey
home that took three hours but would lose anyone following him.<br />
“The local militias have their eyes on who is going in and out of the
camps, following the Iraqis that work there, kidnapping and killing
some of those people,” he said. Six months after he started the job, an
elderly neighbor who has regular contact with the Shiite militias
warned his mother: “We know your son is working with the Americans —
your son and your family will be killed.”<br />
His family left for Jordan a week later. Hashem stayed behind and
lived at the camp, where he was safe. Until April 2010, when he lost his
job and needed release papers or a transfer order from the military to
work at another unit. He waited for three weeks, hiding at the homes of
friends until he could get out and to Jordan, where he waits for the
visa he applied for in March 2010.<br />
He received a preliminary approval a year later to his delight, but the visa was revoked with no explanation in late 2011.<br />
“I was devastated,” he said. “I thought, they must have made a mistake.”<br />
He blames the arrests in 2011 in Kentucky of two Iraqis granted
refugee status who were caught trying to send weapons to insurgents in
Iraq. As a result, all Iraqi applicants are under deeper scrutiny, he
suspects. Johnson said he has often hectored U.S. officials at State and
Homeland Security about stalled visas and is told the delay is due to
security concerns.<br />
“But the truth is, when we have wanted to help high-priority
refugees in the past, the only time that happens is if the American
president is involved,” he said. “If he doesn’t provide cover, no
bureaucrat is going to stick their neck out or act with any urgency.”<strong></strong><br />
<strong>
</strong><strong>‘HONOR-BOUND’ TO ACT</strong><br />
Some of the interpreters stuck their necks out for Americans, as Matt Zeller can attest.<br />
The former CIA intelligence officer and U.S. Army captain was serving
in Afghanistan in April 2008 when his unit came under attack by a group
of Taliban fighters in Ghazni province.<br />
Zeller said he was pinned down when Shinwari came running up from the
rear, firing his AK-47. Shinwari killed two militants and saved
Zeller’s life.<br />
He said he spends a great deal of time trying to return the favor —
calling members of Congress, State Department officials, the news media,
everyone he can think of to pressure consular officials to get
Shinwari his visa.<br />
“These people haven’t been among these people, living on the local
economy. They haven’t served in combat. They don’t know what it means
when someone saves your life,” he said of State Department officials he
blames for stalling Shinwari’s case. “I am honor-bound to do whatever I
can to save him and his family.”<br />
Shinwari applied for his visa in 2011, but his situation took on a
new urgency after it was announced that his unit would withdraw in
October and the interpreters would lose their jobs. After months of
lobbying and putting together a petition signed by more than 100,000
people, Shinwari was granted permission Sept. 8 to emigrate.<br />
A few days later, the visa was revoked.<br />
The State Department, which said it cannot comment by law on a
specific case, said it has a right to revoke visas, “based on
information that comes to light at any time.”<br />
Zeller said that is “insane.”<br />
“They are hiding behind reasons of national security, but that is an
insult to the entire process. This guy had been signed off by everyone,
CIA, Defense, you name it,” Zeller said.<br />
“Afghans just shake their head and say, ‘You have put a person on the
moon. How is it possible that you can’t process some paperwork,’ ”
said Marine Lt. Col. Ty Edwards, who had been trying to get his
interpreter out since 2009. Edwards was shot in the head and nearly died
in 2008 after an ambush by the Taliban in Kunar province. What saved
him, he said, were the actions of his interpreter, who shielded him
from gunfire.<br />
“A lot of interpreters wouldn’t have saved my life, but he did, and
we owe him,” said Edwards, 45, of Tampa, who is partially paralyzed and
in a wheelchair as a result of his wounds.<br />
After intense pressure, Edwards said, his interpreter finally
received a call from the U.S. Embassy in late September to come in for
processing — four years after he applied for the special visa for
interpreters. He got a call last week telling him he had been approved.<br />
Now he waits and hopes nothing goes wrong.<br />
Retired Marine major general Jarvis Lynch, who visits Edwards weekly
and has been helping to push his interpreter’s case, said it is
important that Americans remember the lessons of the past and do the
right thing.<br />
“This is what we did to the Vietnamese who had cooperated with us and
did what we asked them to — we basically abandoned (many of ) them to
re-education camps and/or death,” said Lynch, who served in Vietnam.
“We shouldn’t have a repeat of that grievous sin.”<br />

We thought you might like to see the first in a series of newspaper advertisements we are running as the 10th anniversary of 9/11 approaches.<br />
<br />
Asked by a reporter for his comments on some new design images, Mr. Burnett explained that all the terrorist memorializing features are still there. They call it a broken circle now, but the unbroken part of the circle, what symbolically remains standing in the wake of 9/11, is just the original Crescent of Embrace: a giant Islamic-shaped crescent, still pointing to Mecca.<br />
<br />
According to the reporter, her editors instructed her not to print Mr. Burnett’s remarks, so we decided to publish them ourselves , along with graphics of how the design remains unchanged, and a flyer people can post demanding to know WHO is being depicted as breaking the circle of peace on 9/11.<br />
<br />
Everyone knows who actually broke the peace. It was a wolf-pack of Muslim terrorists, which means that the circle-breaking crescent-creating theme of the memorial can only be depicting the actions of the terrorists. Not only are the terrorists seen to smash our circle of peace, but they are also shown as leaving a giant Islamic crescent-and-star flag in its place. A more obvious tribute to Islamic terrorism is hard to imagine.<br />
On the 9/11 anniversary the Obamas will be in Somerset Pennsylvania for the opening of the memorial, so this is the time and place to hit. If we can raise the necessary funding, we plan to buy six different ad-runs. A very generous soul has offered to match all donations up to a total of $5000. All help is much appreciated! Mr. Burnett and I are each pitching in a thousand, and if we can get to the full ten, I believe we can have a serious impact.<br />
<br />
In addition to the print ads, we also have a large network of online supporters who will plaster our advertising campaign across the web. As Flight 93 showed, just because a hijacker has control of the cockpit doesn’t mean he can’t still be stopped.<br />
<br />
“We’re going to do something,” said Tom Burnett Junior, and our little group is trying hard to follow suit.<br />

Tom Burnett Senior, Northfield MN <a href="http://www.crescentofbetrayal.com/">http://www.crescentofbetrayal.com/</a></div><h2>We all know who broke the circle of peace on 9/11</h2>It was 19 Islamic terrorists.

Alec Rawls sends along this <a href="http://errortheory.blogspot.com/2011/08/who-broke-circle-ad-campaign-now.html"><span style="color: #743399;">update</span></a> on the effort to stop the crescent mosque.</div><div sizcache="10" sizset="10"><br />
</div><strong>10th anniversary ad campaign now underway</strong><br />
<div sizcache="10" sizset="11">The Pittsburgh <em>Tribune-Review</em> recently solicited Tom Burnett Senior’s response to some new design images for the Flight 93 memorial. When he said that the so-called redesign leaves all of the terrorist memorializing features intact, editors instructed reporter Kari Andren to leave his remarks out. They preferred <a href="http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/email/s_744178.html?_s_icmp=et">un-interrupted praise</a> from the same few family members who always speak up for the broken-circle design.</div><div sizcache="10" sizset="11"><br />
</div>The people of Pennsylvania deserve to see what their information gate-keepers don’t want them to know, so Mr. Burnett and his backers decided to begin their 10th anniversary ad campaign a few weeks early. The first full-page color ad just ran in the Somerset <em>Daily American</em> and will appear in two other local papers next week.<br />
<br />
<div sizcache="10" sizset="12">For a PDF of the ad copy, click on the thumbnail below, or scroll down for the same content formatted for browsing. If anyone wants to help fund additional advertising, a very generous soul has offered to match all <a href="http://www.crescentofbetrayal.com/FlyersPostersAdCopy.htm">donations</a> up to a total of $5000.</div><div sizcache="10" sizset="13"><a href="http://www.crescentofbetrayal.com/BrokenCircleFullDaily_7-22-11.pdf"><img alt="Broken circle ad 1, large thumbnail" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z36/AlecRawls/Blogburst%20logos%20etcetera/BrokenCircle1Thumb.jpg" /></a></div><strong>More explicit than a giant Islamic crescent-and-star flag?</strong><br />
As the ad-headline notes, the <em>Circle of Embrace</em> “redesign” only accentuates the circle-breaking crescent-creating theme of the original <em>Crescent of Embrace</em>. Mr. Burnett’s full remarks explain:<br />
<blockquote>The only visible change is the addition of an extra arc of trees that explicitly represents a broken off part of the circle. The unbroken part of the circle, what symbolically remains standing in the wake of 9/11, is just the original Crescent of Embrace: a giant Islamic shaped crescent, still pointing to Mecca.<br />
People also need to know that a Mecca-direction indicator is the central feature around which every mosque is built. It is called a “mihrab,” and the classic mihrab is crescent shaped.<br />
So the terrorists broke our circle of peace on 9/11, and all that remains standing is the central feature of a mosque. The inclusion of a broken-off part of the circle only accentuates this terrorist-memorializing symbolism. It bastardizes what my son Tom and the other heroes of Flight 93 accomplished. The crescent/broken-circle design is a desecration of sacred ground.<br />
Tom Burnett Sr. Northfield MN</blockquote><strong>Park Service calls the circle “broken”</strong><br />
<div sizcache="10" sizset="14">A proper newspaper would ask the Park Service if the extra arc of trees really does represent a broken-off part of the circle. Still, people can easily verify this crucial fact for themselves. It is right on the Park Service’s own website. Their “<a href="http://www.nps.gov/%20ni/parkmgmt/designquestions.htm">questions about the design</a>” page asks “Is this circle ‘broken’ at all?” Their answer is yes:</div><blockquote>… the circle is symbolically “broken” or missing trees in two places, depicting the flight path of the plane, and the crash site.</blockquote>The locations of these two breaks in the “circle of embrace” are spelled out:<br />
<blockquote>…first, where the flight path of the plane went overhead (which is the location of the planned memorial overlook and visitor center), and second, where the plane crashed at the Sacred Ground (depicted by a ceremonial gate and pathway into the Sacred Ground).</blockquote>These are the two ends of the extra arc of trees, which starts near the original upper crescent tip and continues down to the crash site. So Mr. Burnett is right. Both ends of the new arc of trees are explicitly broken off. The unbroken part of the circle—what symbolically remains standing in the wake of 9/11—is just the original Islamic-shaped <em>Crescent of Embrace</em> that the Park Service promised to change.<br />
<br />
To illustrate, the ad includes a side-bar of graphics, showing just what is changed and what is not changed in the memorial. This is slightly complicated by the fact that the Park Service pretended that they were going to make one very big cosmetic change that they are not actually making, but a few pictures easily tell the tale.<br />
<strong>The Park Service pretended the outside of the crescent would be filled in with a forest of trees</strong><br />
<div sizcache="10" sizset="15">A publicity shot of the original <em>Crescent of Embrace</em> design shows what appears to be a bare-naked Islamic crescent-and-star flag planted atop the crash site:<br />
<a href="http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05251/567702.stm"><img alt="Crescent of Embrace publicity shot" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z36/AlecRawls/Central%20crescent/Crescent_mock-up_crop.jpg" /></a></div>When this blatant Islamic symbolism caused an uproar, architect Paul Murdoch re-worked his mock-up to show a forest of additional trees surrounding the outside of the original Crescent:<br />
<img alt="Circle/Bowl of Embrace publicity shot" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z36/AlecRawls/Central%20crescent/Circle_mock-up_crop.jpg" /><br />
Only the inner arc of the crescent remains visible, making the new <em>Circle of Embrace</em> name seem reasonable. But none of these surrounding trees made it into the actual <em>Circle of Embrace</em> design drawings. (The “Stage 1″ drawings, encompassing the area seen in these images, were released in 2009.)<br />
The Park Service may eventually let the bare field grow in with trees, but this is not a change in the design. The only actual change is the extra arc of trees, seen below in orange. It explicitly represents a broken off part of the circle:<br />
<img alt="What Circle of Embrace will actually look like" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z36/AlecRawls/Central%20crescent/Crescent_mock-up_w-extra-arc.jpg" /><br />
What the <em>Circle of Embrace</em> actually looks like. The original giant crescent still sits naked on an open field and the flight path still “breaks the circle” at the upper crescent tip.<br />
<br />
Remove the explicitly broken off part of the circle (in orange), and what symbolically remains standing in the wake of 9/11 is the same giant Mecca-oriented crescent the Park Service promised to change. It constitutes a classic “mihrab,” the Mecca-direction indicator around which every mosque is built, and will form the centerpiece for the world’s largest mosque.<br />
<br />
<strong>Who broke the circle of peace on 9/11?</strong><br />
<div sizcache="10" sizset="16">When the “Crescent of Embrace” was unveiled as the winning design, architect Paul Murdoch <a href="http://tribune-democrat.com/local/x519117221/Flight-93-design-provokes-uproar?keyword=topstory">explained</a> the crescent name and the crescent shape by saying that the circle was broken on 9/11, leaving only a part of the circle still standing: the giant crescent. The fact that this circle-breaking crescent-creating theme remains completely intact in the broken-circle design demands the question of WHO is being depicted as breaking the circle of peace on 9/11.</div><div sizcache="10" sizset="16"><br />
</div>The final section of the ad points out that there can only be one answer. We all know who broke the peace on 9/11. Thus the memorial can only be depicting the actions of the terrorists, who are seen not only as smashing our circle of peace, but as replacing it with their own crescent and star flag.<br />
With the media censoring all criticism, people who don’t like all this blatant Islamic symbolism need a way to signal each other directly, so the ad finishes with a handy dandy flyer that readers can post on windows, walls, bulletin boards etcetera:<br />

New Port Richey, Florida - Airport security is a part of traveling these days, from walking through X-Ray machines to being patted down. But one New Port Richey couple contacted 10 News to say the search they received went too far.<br />
<br />
"It was extremely thorough, almost a violation, "says Jason Steitler as he describes how a TSA official searched him at the Greater Rochester International Airport July 6th. Steitler's disability requires he uses a wheelchair.<br />
<br />
"They did the hair then did the neck. Then they had me do a pushup in my chair, then got down into my inner thigh around my back side. It's the most thorough search [I've] had done in my life," says Steitler.<br />
<br />
Steitler and his wife, Jennifer, were heading home to New Port Richey that morning. She too is in a wheel chair and was searched by a TSA official.<br />
<br />
"She's been using the phrase 'search raped' because it was that thorough. She says it was nearly to her crotch," says Steitler. "I feel the chair should have option of either scanner or searches, but automatically we're being thrown to being patted down."<br />
<br />
Steitler says they've complained to the TSA about their experience at Rochester International Airport, but all they've received back is a standard form letter.<br />
<br />
"Just the standard reply to everything: 'In order to fly you have to be searched,'" says Steitler.<br />
<br />
In an email to the Steitlers, a TSA official writes, "We apologize for any insensitivity or inappropriate treatment you experienced during the screening process."<br />
<br />
In another email, a TSA official says, "We believe these security measures are necessary and appropriate for ensuring the security and confidence of all air travelers."<br />
<br />
The Steitlers say they are not opposed to the searches, just the way the disabled are treated when it's done. Steitler says, "Generally, be fair about it. Don't hold the disabled up to more scrutiny just because they are in chairs."<br />
<br />
Noah Lebowitz, the director of communications for Monroe County and spokesperson for Greater Rochester International Airport, tells 10 News in a written statement, "The Greater Rochester International Airport always strives to provide outstanding customer service to our passengers and ensure that they enjoy a convenient and safe travel experience. The security screening protocols in question are the jurisdiction of the federal government through the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). If any passenger believes that our airport could have provided them with an enhanced customer experience, we encourage them to contact us."<br />
<br />
Steitler says he plans to become an advocate for the disabled until he feels the security protocol is fair and equal for all. <br />

March 17, 2011 <strong>Kerem Oner</strong></div>DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) is the largest socialist organization outside of the CPUSA (Communist Party U.S.A.) honest enough not to masquerade as something other than what they are.<br />
<div sizcache="13" sizset="9">In fact, the <a href="http://newzeal.blogspot.com/2006/11/socialists-behind-progressive-caucus.html">CPC </a>(Congressional Progressive Caucus), with its 83 declared members, openly espouse the principles of socialism and publicly had signed onto the agenda of the <a href="http://www.keywiki.org/index.php/Democratic_Socialists_of_America">Democratic Socialists of America</a>. It was <a href="http://www.chicagodsa.org/ngarchive/ng56.html#anchor1041720">organized by the DSA</a> per DSA’s own admission. Like Obama with his seemingly multitudinous radical associations, the current estimated number of Democrats who were active in DSA (or had very close associations with likes of DSA or CPUSA), is <a href="http://www.tysknews.com/Depts/gov_philosophy/dsa_members.htm">well above</a> their 1997 goal of 50 congressional members.</div>Conservatives must stop playing by the rules of <em>Marquis de Queensbury</em> and understand that the road back to a truly constitutional republic will be long and at times frustrating. After all, it took the left better part of a century to erode the institutions that made America what it is. Only total commitment and willingness to get down and dirty will successfully counteract the radical goals the left has been patiently working towards for decades. The lesson that DSA teaches us must be heeded if we hope to get back and preserve an America that our founding fathers would be proud of.<br />

The democrat hid his identity behind balloons after planting the bomb.<br />
<a href="http://www.fox2now.com/news/ktvi-st-louis-man-indicted-2008-bombing-clayton-parking-garage-20110707-story,0,7134719.story">FOX 2</a> reported:<br />
<blockquote>A former Democratic political operative has been indicted by federal authorities for allegedly planting a bomb in a CLayton parking garage in 2008. The bomb went off, seriously injuring a Clayton attorney. Police believe he was not the bomber’s intended target.<br />
Milton Ohlsen iii nicknamed “Skip” is well known to law enforcement. <strong>He’s also well known in Democratic political circles.</strong> The feds now say he’s the one who planted a bomb in a garage at 190 Carondolet plaza in Clayton on October 15, 2008.<br />
Federal prosecutors say ohlsen made the bomb and put it in the parking garage where it went off and injured clayton attorney John Gillis.<br />
Federal agents say Gillis was the wrong target. They say Ohlsen was actually trying to kill attorney Richard Eisen who drove a similar car. Eisen represented Ohlsen’s wife in a messy divorce case.<br />
Starting in 2004 Ohlsen was used as a consultant by the Missouri Democratic party. He even had lunch at the governor’s mansion with then-governor Bob Holden.</blockquote><em>Hat Tip Ed</em><br />
The bombing victim John L. Gillis said he was doing “reasonably well” after receiving a <a href="http://more.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stories.nsf/politics/story/9550e4a006f3c0608625761d0013b653?OpenDocument">series of skin grafts</a> to treat burns caused by the bombing. <br />

<blockquote>Muslim Flag Set To Fly On 9/11 In King<br />
KING, N.C. — <strong>A Muslim flag is scheduled to by flown at the public war memorial at Central Park during the week of the 9/11</strong> anniversary, sparking the ire of some residents in King who plan fight back against what they call a change in the policy.<br />
Resident Stephen James said Tuesday he is talking to an attorney with plans to ask a judge to block Steven Hewett, who <strong>originally said he planned to fly Christian flags</strong> but recently made a revision to replace those with Buddhist, Muslim and Jewish flags.<br />
James said Hewett’s change of course goes against a compromise agreed upon late last year after a complaint was raised over the Christian flag that formerly flew above the memorial.<br />
“There’s nothing in the policy that says you can change from the original policy,” James said. “When the applications were done, you had to submit a picture of the flag you were going to fly. There were people with applications who were kicked out because they didn’t have pictures of flags they were going to fly.”<br />
Hewett was one of a handful of King residents drawn last December to decide which flag flies at the park from week to week. In total, 110 applications were received from relatives of war veterans who are honored at the park. <strong>Under the original schedule, the Christian flag was to be flown for 51 weeks,</strong> with no flag being flown last week.<br />
The revised schedule was released Friday. On it, Hewitt plans to fly a Buddhist flag next week. A Muslim flag will fly Sept. 5 -11, a Jewish flag will fly Nov. 21 – 27 followed the next week by an atheist flag.<br />
SNIP<br />
James said he’s most enraged by the prospect of a Muslim flag flying at the memorial during the week of Sept. 11.<br />
<strong>“How offensive is it going to be that there’s a Muslim flag flying over a veteran’s memorial?” </strong>James asked. “That affects more people than just here in King. It affects those in Winston-Salem and everywhere.”</blockquote><a href="http://www.wxii12.com/news/28309607/detail.html#ixzz1PwLmwwCl" target="_blank">Link to Article</a></div>a12iggymomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14160730351377845447noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088679248581641357.post-52093471276667750862011-06-22T00:13:00.004-04:002011-06-22T00:42:20.805-04:00Looks like the ChiCom have taken over the internet and are censoring posters...<table class="ecxpost-details" style="width: 100%;"><tbody>

Why do we continue to allow record numbers of Chinese foreign nationals with increasing numbers every year to our best colleges and at the same time displace our own students?!<br />
Not just that but they have infiltrated all levels of our top universities, corporations, military contractors, and government. These are the insiders that can sabotage and commit espionage against us and at the same time they continue their plausibile deniability as they engage in high level cyber attacks without restraint on our systems on a daily basis.<br />
Why do we continue to let ourselves be used and taken advantage of and continue to do our best to train foreign nationals how to compete and fight against us better?<br />
Where is America’s sense of patriotism that would band together and rise to the challenge of the Communist Chinese front on all sectors of our country.<br />
Now, how much corrupt dirty Chinese money is flooding our economy? Buying our land, businesses and property and using it as a platform to mass migrate and take over.a12iggymomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14160730351377845447noreply@blogger.com0
