Suspected Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev attended a Massachusetts mosque that made a controversial deal with a Boston city agency that allowed it to buy land at a lower-than-market price in exchange for various token services to the Boston community, despite the mosque’s links to some radical anti-American figures. Via the The Daily Caller
The Boston Redevelopment Authority, which is the city’s municipal planning agency and which is comprised of mayoral appointees, conveyed the land for the ISB’s purchase in 2000 at more than $400,000. However, the city of Boston only charged ISB $175,000 for the land, with an agreement that the ISB perform other services for the city to make up the $225,000 remainder...Read More
The mosque where at least one of the two suspected Boston Marathon bombers prayed has a controversial history, with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, terror funding and frequent fiery sermons, according to a group that has long monitored the house of worship. “This is a radical mosque,” Dennis Hale, of a Boston-based group called Americans for Peace and Tolerance, said of the Islamic Society of Boston. The mosque’s founders were in the Muslim Brotherhood and one, Abdurahman Alamoudi, pled guilty in 2004 for conducting illegal transactions with the Libyan government and his partial role in a conspiracy to assassinate Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah, Hale said.
Alamoudi, who served as an Islamic adviser to President Clinton, was accused by critics of espousing pro-American language while lobbying in Washington, while expressing his support of terror groups Hamas and Hezbollah when addressing Islamist rallies. Sheikh Ahmed Mansour, who has served on the APT board with Hale and founded the Quranists sect of Islam, leading to his eventual exile from his native Egypt, told FoxNews.com that the rhetoric at the Cambridge mosque gave him a bad feeling.
"I was astonished seeing that this mosque, at the time I was there, was controlled by fanatics," he said, recalling how he attended sunset prayers one Friday while he was a visiting fellow at Harvard Law School. "Their writings and teachings were fanatical. I left and refused to go back to pray. I left Egypt to escape the Muslim Brotherhood, but I had found it there." Mansour said fiery sermons can spur impressionable young men to violence, even if the speaker doesn't explicitly advocate it. "These terrorists who kill are victimized by the sheiks. So the criminal are the sheiks," he said. "This mosque continues to increase fanaticism among Muslims."
Mosque officials said Tsarnaev was kicked out three months ago after becoming agitated by a sermon in which an imam praised Martin Luther King Jr., who Tsarnaev said was not worthy of such esteem because he was not Muslim.
In a startling and candid admission, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano argued to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday that regardless of oaths to uphold the law, the President and the executive branch can choose what laws are to be enforced...
“I started out as a federal prosecutor in the Department of Justice in 1975. I have never heard of a situation in which a group of law officers sued their supervisor and you for blocking them from following the law. They weren’t complaining about pay, benefits, working conditions. They were saying their very oath they took, to enforce the law, is being blocked by rules and regulations and policies established from on high and that this is undermining their ability to do what they’re sworn to do.”
Napolitano defended herself and the Obama Administration by claiming that the executive branch will declare what laws will and will not be enforced and that she expects ICE agents to comply.
“There are tensions with union leadership, unfortunately, but here’s what I expect as a former federal prosecutor and attorney general, and that is that law enforcement agents will enforce the law in accord with the guidance they’re given from their superiors,” Napolitano said. “That’s what we ask of ICE, that’s what we ask of Border Patrol, that’s what we ask throughout the Department and I believe that would be consistent with all law enforcement. Agents don’t set the enforcement priorities. Those are set by their superiors and they are asked then to obey that guidance in accord with the law.”
In a society such as ours, a society with a government that has a clearly-defined legislative body, the power of discretion as to which laws will be enforced does not reside in the executive branch. In essence, the legislative branch creates the laws, the executive branch enforces those laws and the judicial branch reviews the Constitutionality of the law and its enforcement.
How do I know this? I know this because I passed 10th grade government. It’s basic stuff; in a Republic, the rule of law is supreme. The enforcement of our laws is not a discretionary or optional function of the executive branch and if Secretary Napolitano, President Obama or anyone has a problem with the current law, they should seek to help change it. Until such a time, we cannot afford the danger of an administration that is at ease cherry-picking the laws they wish to enforce and, worse yet, requiring their subordinates to follow orders and disregard the laws upon their honor they have sworn to uphold.

Bob Goodlatte (R-Va) pointed out the contradiction between her views on 287 programs and the government web page extolling them. Napolitano had the page expunged before the hearing ended.
Napolitano said the program costs more than it’s worth. Personally, I think it’s worth whatever it costs – spend the money.
Napolitano will only agree to enforce our immigration law against those who are here illegally if they have criminal records or have committed multiple immigration violations.
The Obama administration continues to ignore “sanctuary cities” like New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago who flout immigration law by ignoring criminal illegals if their crimes are misdemeanors.
The truth is that Napolitano, on behalf of the Obama administration, is making it clear that only the federal government will enforce immigration law and the federal government has already made it clear they will not enforce immigration law as written.
Napolitano is implementing the Obama administration’s policy of dismantling our immigration law without going through the legislative process.

Steubenville City Manager Cathy Davison said Wednesday that calling for assistance from the National Guard is "absolutely an option" when dealing with out-of-town criminals who have infiltrated the city...WTOV 9
"Is the National Guard an option?"
"Oh, absolutely. It is an option and that's part of the conversation we're having with city council and the governor," answered Davison. "If that's what step we need to take to get people out of our city, can we utilize it?"
Federal Marshals and State Police are on my streets today going door to door with clipboards and drug sniffing dogs in tow. Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, ATF, and FBI are also involved in this effort to clean up our streets. What I fear is that when we turn our city over to the FEDS, all of our freedoms and civil liberties have been lost...OR MORE PROPERLY STATED...GIVEN AWAY PERMANENTLY! This may be coming soon to a city near you!
Attention on violent crime was raised this week after the Fraternal Order of Police Steubenville Lodge President Jim Marquis called a news conference at which he listed more than 40 "weapons calls" handled by the city police department since January. A Chicago man was killed and another Chicago man was hurt in Steubenville Friday in a squabble police believe to be linked to drugs. Three Chicago men were arrested in West Virginia and charged in the attack.
Steubenville police were involved in a shootout on Saturday with a suspect in a robbery. There were no injuries and the suspect was arrested.
Residents of Steubenville's hilltop neighborhoods have suggested that out-of-town criminals are becoming more bold and do not fear arrest or prosecution.
"We have an influx of people almost every week that no one knows who they are. They're from out of town," said a hilltop resident who asked not to be identified out of concern for the safety of his family. "They're very flagrant about it. They do not care. I'm afraid if this escalates this summer, someone innocent is really going to get hurt." One of my neighbors speaks out on WTOV 9
Alert: New York City Mayor Bloomberg says the US Constitution will 'have to change'
Bloomberg using terrorism scare tactics to force compliance to new safety laws
As the smoke clears from the Boston Marathon bombing, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is wasting no time. In a press conference Monday, Bloomberg came right out and said that the country's interpretation of the Constitution will "have to change" to allow for greater security. Building upon his call for a redefined Constitution, he proclaimed, "We live in a complex word where you're going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change."
"We have to understand that in the world going forward, we're going to have more cameras and that kind of stuff. That's good in some sense, but it's different from what we are used to," he said.

“An organizer working in and for an open society is in an ideological dilemma. To begin with, he does not have a fixed truth — truth to him is relative and changing; everything to him is relative and changing. He is a political relativist.” — Saul D. Alinsky, Rules For Radicals, 1971
Today we celebrate the birth of a hero of our progressive movement, Vladimir Lenin, with the desire to make the entire (western) world resemble most equal Republic of North Korea. From The Red Menace
Lenin would be green with envy, if he wasn't already green with mold...
April 22 is Earth Day. Very appropriately, and not by any means coincidentally, Earth Day is celebrated on the birthday of the socialist tyrant Vladimir Lenin.
It’s appropriate that the two are celebrated on the same day, because there is no relevant difference between the socialist and environmentalist agendas in this country. Saving the environment is simply a euphemism for eviscerating the rights of property owners and creating a dictatorship.
EARTH DAY:
A day of action to save the earth from farmers, ranchers, mining, timber, oil, chemical companies, and anyone else who seeks to utilize the planet's resources to enhance, enrich, and extend the lives of people worldwide.
Characterized by the media's massive awareness drive to (a) remind the world that U.S. capitalists are raping the earth, stealing its riches, and causing environmental problems; (b) advocate a greater government control of land, resources, and industries; and (c) increase the ever growing white male guilt levels. A great way to hijack spring cleaning and politicize the rebirth of nature.
OUR PREVIOUS CELEBRATIONS OF EARTH DAY / LENIN'S BIRTHDAY:
If Thomas Friedman went stark raving mad, how would anyone tell? The man has written an entire book dedicated to the thesis that the earth is flat and responds to every major event by making up more words and trying to tie them into his globalized flat earth theory. No matter what happens, Friedman shoves into his feeder tube and out comes his randomly generated understanding of the universe.
But this time the randomness is truly random. The screws have come loose. The corks have popped. The springs are all over the place and Friedman is no longer just a self-parody, the wheels have come off whatever ramshackle bus there was.
Thomas Friedman starts out with the Boston Marathon, but he has nothing to say about it. He puts pedal to metal and rolls on straight to praising America’s diversity. But he can’t think of anything to say about that either. Only two paragraphs in and he’s mumbling something about the budget.
"Rebuilding our strength has to start with healing our economy. In that regard, it feels as if our budget drama has dragged on for so long that it has not only been drained of all emotional energy but nobody even remembers the plot anymore. It’s worth recalling: What are we trying to do?"
A better question is what is Thomas Friedman trying to do. What is he even talking about?
"We need to keep investing in the engines of our growth — infrastructure, government-financed research, education, immigration and regulations that incentivize risk-taking but prevent recklessness. We need to reform Social Security and Medicare so they can support all the baby boomers about to retire. And we need to raise more revenues, in the least painful way possible, because we can’t just cut everything."
Thomas Friedman has never grown anything except a mustache and it shows. He tries to make up for this by using “incentivize” because he hears that’s what business people do. But all he’s doing is throwing out hollow cliches. We must invest in the engines of our growth– homeless people, moonshine whiskey, space stations and universal kindergarten. It makes about as much sense as what Friedman just said.
"We need a more “radical center” — one much more willing to suggest radically new ideas to raise revenues, not the “split-the-difference-between-the-same-old-options center.”
Only Thomas Friedman could use the term “radical center” without being struck on the head by his own stupidity.
And the best place to start is with a carbon tax.
Either that or mass suicide.
"A phased-in carbon tax of $20 to $25 a ton could raise around $1 trillion over 10 years, as we each pay a few more dimes and quarters for every gallon of gasoline or hour of electricity. With that new revenue stream, we’d have so many more options."
Like the option to put half the country out of work. The option to completely price cars out of the range of working class people. Like the option to raise the price of absolutely anything that requires electricity or is delivered by fuel powered vehicles.
"A carbon tax would enable a radical grand bargain that would be more fiscally responsible for the long run and more stimulative in the short run, paving the way to more sustainable growth."
Sure, just look at how well the seniors in the UK freezing in their homes have been cushioned from energy poverty.
"I know: If we can’t get some simple gun control, how do we get a carbon tax to pay for all of this? With both, you have to try and keep trying, until the unimaginable becomes the inevitable."
The difference between Thomas Friedman and the cult leader waiting for the UFO is that the cult leader has some grasp of reality. Friedman does not. He blends the insipid treacle of a motivational speaker with a completely delusional worldview that he makes up as he goes along bolstered by politician style anecdotes of his world travels.
"I hope the president swings for the fences. It’s the only way to revive the country and a moribund Republican Party… Maybe only big ideas from President Obama can give birth to New Republicans — and the revival of the country."
I don’t think Friedman understands what he’s saying here. Is he really proposing that an insane Carbon Tax proposal from Obama could finally wire up the Republican Party so much in outrage that it makes a complete comeback? It’s no more insane than every other thing that Friedman just proposed. No wait, I’ve made a terrible mistake. Friedman actually went insane two years ago.
"The smart thing for us to do right now is to impose a $1-a-gallon gasoline tax, to be phased in at 5 cents a month beginning in 2012, with all the money going to pay down the deficit. Legislating a higher energy price today that takes effect in the future, notes the Princeton economist Alan Blinder, would trigger a shift in buying and investment well before the tax kicks in. With one little gasoline tax, we can make ourselves more economically and strategically secure, help sell more Chevy Volts and free ourselves to openly push for democratic values in the Middle East without worrying anymore that it will harm our oil interests."
Today my eyes are bleeding. I watched Brian Williams and his cohorts yesterday while the second marathon bomber was being tracked down. He referred to the bomings as "bloodless murder", and again later as "bloodless violence". WTF? With the number of dead rising, victims' limbs blown off, skin seared from the bone, and a great many left in critical condition, how can this idiot describe this terrorist act in such a way. His reasoning is simple. If people weren't murdered with "NASTY ASSAULT WEAPONS" it is to be called "bloodless violence"...sic...
NBC and Williams then proceded to describe the two bombers as "NICE AMERICAN BOYS" who just went astray... Good students and athletes who, according to their parents, were being set up by the FBI and America in general. Later in the day, as the suspect was cornered in his boat, and gunfire erupted again, Williams seemed intent on focusing on the types of weapons being employed by the police, and the "extreme number of rounds" being expelled. He even made a juvenile attempt at identifying the weapons by the sound they made, and to discern whether they were on full auto or semi auto mode. Clearly this was an attempt to turn this into a GUN ISSUE... PURE IDIOCY IS WHAT IT WAS!
While police in and around Boston hunt for 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the suspected Boston Marathon bombers, information gathered from various social media outlets indicate that he and his brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, harbored radical Islamic beliefs.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed overnight as police closed in on him and the hunt for Dzhokhar remains active. An MIT security officer was shot and killed in the firefight.
This is believed to be Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s Youtube page. Several of the posts feature radical Islamic rhetoric. In addition, a graphic video about Syria appears on Tsarnaev’s page on a Russian version of Facebook. An IPT translation can be seen here. Among its statements, “Congratulations to you those suffer for, who go through martyrdom of Allah illaha ill Allah.”...More from Creeping
U.S. President Barack Obama met with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal at the White House on Wednesday and discussed the conflict in Syria, a spokeswoman said.
(THIS MEETING WAS HELD IN SECRET THE DAY AFTER THE BOSTON BOMBING)
Is this post 9/11 Deja' Vu?
Saudis will not permit their elite boys to be subjected to US infidel law!
Excerpted from REUTERS: The meeting was not on Obama’s public schedule.
The spokeswoman, Caitlin Hayden, said the president joined a meeting between the Saudi official and Obama’s national security adviser, Tom Donilon.
“The president and Prince Saud al-Faisal reaffirmed the strong partnership between the United States and Saudi Arabia and discussed developments in the region, including the conflict in Syria,” Hayden said in a statement.
Saudi National Once Considered ‘Person of Interest’ May Be Deported on ‘Security’ Grounds — And How It’s Supposed to Be Framed
On Sean Hannity’s Fox News program Wednesday night, terror expert Steve Emerson cited sources saying Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, the Saudi national who was briefly named a “person of interest” in the Boston Marathon bombings, is being deported on Tuesday.
UPDATE I:
Sources tell TheBlaze that the Saudi national is set to be deported on “security and related grounds.” His visa also has been revoked. Below is some of the information that has been communicated to us:
1. One source at the FBI and another at the Saudi Embassy referred to the student as connected to an important Saudi family....(MANY WITH AL QUEIDA TIES)
2. An “event” was created on this guy three days ago. An event is a file. The file contains his deportation record and the reason he is being deported. According to ICE the reason is under section 212 3B — “Security and related grounds” — “Terrorist activities”
3. His visa has been revoked.
4. The FBI said a file was started “just in case he was found to be connected to the crime,” however, the file shows he was scheduled to be deported. This was not a precaution, it was in “orders.”
5. One source said they believe a “voluntary” departure has been signed — that means the Saudi Student could be out of the country as early as today.
6. The file was immediately classified. We believe the deportation order will be classified as well — requiring a FOIA to get it.
7. The story was going to be “he wanted to go home,” however he was actually being deported.
8. Our source said the FBI believes the Saudi student is tied to 2 to 3 more people.
9. Our source said this “looks like they were trying to make this a ‘lone wolf’ crime so, the Saudi government would be spared embarrassment and the U.S. would avoid explaining how a terror cell was active when we had AQ on the run.”
Appearing on “Hannity” Wednesday night, the Investigative Project on Terrorism’s Steve Emerson reported that Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, the Saudi national who was briefly named a “person of interest” in the Boston Marathon bombings, is being deported on Tuesday. He based his information on a number of his confidential sources.
“I just learned from my own sources that he is now going to be deported on national security grounds next Tuesday,” Emerson said.
"I am upset! Don't mess wit' me now! Change this narrative!"
“Just got a note from one of our investigative reporters that she has been told that there is now discussion that they may not allow this man to be deported,” Cheatwood said.
Janet Napolitano Responds to Report of Deportation for Former ‘Person of Interest’: ‘Not Worthy of an Answer’
