Mali: Muslim “rebels” creating more refugees on the move in Africa

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Here we go again (from StarAfrica.com):

A statement from the UNHCR quoted its spokesperson Melissa Fleming during a news briefing in Geneva on Friday as saying that a further 700 000 people may be displaced by the fresh wave of violence to hit the landlocked West African country as a foreign intervention force engage the rebels who have been in control of northern Mali since April 2012.

“We believe there could be in the near future an additional 300,000 displaced inside Mali and up to 400 000 additional displaced people in neighbouring countries as a result of the unrest” Fleming remarked.

According to her horrific, accounts of amputations and executions have been reported in Islamist-controlled regions of Mali, with claims suggesting that some civilians were being lured with large sums of money to defend the territories from the onslaught by Malian troops backed by French ground forces and airstrikes.

She also said there were reports of children fighting within the ranks of the rebels who continue to put up stiff resistance against intervention forces.

Close to 200, 000 displaced Malians have fled to neighbouring Mauritania, Niger, Burkina Faso and Algeria since the conflict began in March 2012 with over 300, 000 more internally displaced.

Will Samantha Power and her “responsibility to protect” get us into this conflict too?

Albanian caught on camera having sex with homeowner’s dog jailed for six years

That, readers, is the headline of a post at The Muslim Issue.  The original story comes from the UK Daily Mail.  The incident happened in Rye, NY.  This story says he lived in Rye for 15 years.  And, here is a news story when he was first arrested that indicates the women living in the apartment complex had complained about him (it doesn’t sound like women were  high on his list of interests).

I’ve searched around and can’t find any definitive source telling us he is an Albanian Muslim (other than The Muslim Issue  which had originally reported it that way), but he hasn’t learned much about our culture in 15 years (we love our dogs!) and is obviously a severely disturbed immigrant who should be deported (why are we wasting time and money by incarcerating him?). 

Update:  I see that The Muslim Issue has printed some clarification and now says that they don’t know if the Albanian man is a Muslim. I was thinking it would be especially strange if a Muslim would get so cozy with a dog.

One of the major ways the mainstream media protects immigrant criminals like Kujtim Nicaj (no matter their religion or country of origin) is that they never tell us how he came to be in the US.   Did he come illegally? Did he get into that mystery line everyone mentions when they foolishly say, “I’m against illegal immigration, but legal is o.k.!”  Did he come on a visa and overstay his visa?  Did he come through chain migration?  Or, was he a refugee or asylee?

Is he a refugee?

I’m guessing he was a refugee (if the media doesn’t report it, we can just guess! right!) because we have resettled thousands of Albanians/Kosovars over the years.  If he came to Rye, NY 15 years ago, he may very well have been among the 3,636 Albanians we resettled between 1983 and 1997. (( First, go to the Georgetown Law Library website here.  Find the annual report for 1997 (15 years before the dog rape), go to Appendix A and see statistics on Albanians resettled here.  Many went to New York state)).  Keep in mind that he could be here illegally; one reader tells me he has met illegal alien Albanians.

Forget the dog rapist!  How about taxpayer rapists!

One of the most outrageous resettlement cases I’ve ever written about involves Albanians/Kosovars. Readers, do you know that in 1999 Bill Clinton (with Al Gore) needed to show that they were doing something to save people involved in Clinton’s phoney baloney Bosnian war and pressured by GOVERNMENT RESETTLEMENT CONTRACTORS airlifted 15,000 Albanians here for a news story and later (at your expense!) shipped many back to their homeland!  It was a twofer—a public relations stunt and bucks for the federal contractors who got paid to resettle them even if it was only temporary.

This is what I reported in 2010:

Ahhhh!!!!  I just came across this report from the National War College about how the volags (supposedly voluntary agencies but really federal contractors*) were basically in need of warm bodies to resettle (for $$$) in the US in 1999 so they pushed Gore and the National Security Council to go against professionals in the State Department and even against the wishes of the UN and airlifted tens of thousands of Kosovar “refugees” to the US during Bill Clinton’s phony baloney Bosnian War.

And, then airlifted them back as I reported in this post about the return airlift—at taxpayer expense.  Even the Kosovars didn’t want to come to the US!  I had heard about that return trip but had never heard about the first part of the story, how they happened to be “resettled” originally, until I discovered this declassified report by David M. Robinson (which I have printed out in case it disappears!).

Albanians were brought to Ft. Dix in NJ and only NJ Senator Robert Toricelli complained (otherwise Congress was silent!) about the financial impact that the refugees might have on central NJ communities.  When he was assured the feds would pick up the tab, he dropped his complaints.  Readers will recall there would have been a potentially huge impact on the community if the Ft. Dix Six had carried out their terror plot. One of those Muslims involved in the plot was a former refugee from Albania who had been housed at Ft. Dix as a child.

And, have a look at this.  I just came across this 1999 San Fran Chronicle story about Hillary greeting the Albanians in NJ—the first waves that ultimately swelled to 15,000!

Now, visit the 1999 ORR annual report to Congress.  Where the heck are they hiding the 15,000?  Maybe in the former Yugoslavia category? They are not listed as Kosovars.  Appendix A indicates a whopping  11 Albanians came that year.  But, LOL! I did find lots of “emergency” funds funneled to the contractors to take care of the Albanians (these are in addition to other taxpayer dollars that went to the Albanian Muslim resettlement operation) even if I didn’t find the Albanians!

Kosovar Refugee Emergency Grants

ORR awarded $3,112,944 to public and private non-profit agencies who resettle newly arriving refugees under a Reception and Placement cooperative agreement with the Department of State to augment the refugee resettlement program for Kosovar refugees.

The following national voluntary agencies received Kosovo Refugee Emergency Grants:

Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society: Episcopal Ministries, $180,000
Ethiopian Community Development Council, Inc., $190,000
Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, $200,000
Iowa Department of Human Services, $409,500
International Rescue Committee, $373,750
Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, $413,000
National Council of Churches/Church World Service, $257,860
United States Catholic Conference, $776,250
World Relief Corporation, $260,214

Looks like the Catholic Bishops topped the list of recipients receiving your tax dollars to resettle Muslims!

Ten reasons for a moratorium on refugee resettlement!

Last May I testified at the State Department hearings on fiscal year 2013 and presented my list of reasons why this program needs to be halted until it’s reformed.  My number 7 is this:

Congress needs to specifically disallow the use of the refugee program for other purposes of the US Government, especially using certain refugee populations to address unrelated foreign policy objectives—Uzbeks, Kosovars, Meshketians and Bhutanese (Nepalese) people come to mind.  [update:  add illegal aliens from Malta to this list!]

You may think we are resettling destitute and suffering people while the UN and the US government may have other ideas about why they are moving people around the globe!

Canada: Supreme Court hearing refugee/war crimes case

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

They are busy, busy, busy in Canada these days with refugee issues.  Yesterday it was the announcement that Canada would take 5000 more Iraqis and Iranians to make Turkey happy, and today the Supreme Court will hear an important case.

Here is the story (from Canada.com):

OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada will hear a case Thursday that grapples with how to determine just who is culpable for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Rachidi Ekanza Ezokola, a former high-level diplomat with the Democratic Republic of Congo, was originally denied refugee status after he fled to Montreal with his family because he was found to be complicit by association with the crimes committed by the war-torn African country.

It will be the first time since 1999 that the Supreme Court is considering the interpretation of provisions of a United Nations refugee convention that denies refugee status to people who are associated with war crimes and crimes against humanity – provisions upon which hundreds of refugee cases in Canada are decided, said Lorne Waldman, the president of the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers.

Sheesh!  They have a whole Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers, I wonder if we have such an association?

Read it all.  The “humanitarians” are on Ezokola’s side, no surprise there.

I bet there are war criminals sprinkled throughout the US refugee population. 

Those two Iraqis convicted of terrorism charges in Kentucky would, in my view, fit the definition.  Oh, but then again, they only killed Americans so that doesn’t count I suppose.

But, this case from New Hampshire of a refugee woman (Beatrice Munyenyezi) charged with lying about her role in genocide in Rwanda is pretty stunning.  We paid for her resettlement and then she cost us millions in court costs for a couple of very expensive trials.  Looks like her next trial, that had been scheduled for last October, will be happening in March? in Concord, NH.

Food stamp fraud: Nyack, NY this time

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

See a pattern!

Here are the names of those charged in yet another immigrant food stamp fraud scheme (from Nyack-Piermont Patch):

Nissar Ahmed, 59,

Shafaqat Ali, 46,

Kusum Joshi, 48,

Ansar Haniffa, 72,

Balbir Singh, 62,

Kavender Joshi, 49,

Muneer Khan, 28,

For new readers, this is my side interest—food stamp fraud.   If you don’t know how trafficking works, this Patch article has a simple definition:

According to the charges, for example, a customer would enter the store and ask the merchant for $60 in cash. The defendants would ring up a fictitious sale of $120 in qualifying groceries, and then pay out $60 in cash to the customer. The store’s account would subsequently be credited with $120 from the customer’s EBT SNAP account, providing the store a $60 profit on the illicit transaction.  [and that $60 profit comes from you!—ed]

My theory is that there is a world-wide understanding (heck, there might even be training seminars on how to do it) that the trick is to get into the US on an investor visa, buy a mom & pop store and go into the food stamp scam business and rip off the dumb infidel American taxpayer!

I bet that by now I have a hundred cases just like this one posted here at RRW.  Type ‘food stamp fraud’ into our search function and see what I mean!

Ever wonder what brought so many people from Somalia to Minnesota?

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

My title is the first line in this Star Tribune article about a new book to be published shortly about the Somali migration to America (and through America).   It should read:  ‘Ever wonder who brought so many people from Somalia to Minnesota, and why!’

Maybe it’s in the book, but no where in this description is any mention of the fact that we, the US government, brought them here in the first place.  We are always left with the impression that these downtrodden and pioneering Africans just “made their way” to America because they heard how great we are and that they want to live just like we do!

As for Minnesota, the author of the new book, Ahmed Ismail Yusuf, claims that the Somalis made their way to Minnesota because Minnesota has such “welcoming” people!  Oh, and meatpacking jobs!

You should stop here and revisit this post which realistically tells us why they went to Minneapolis—they were resettled there by the thousands by federal “church” contractors who chose Minnesota because the social services were so generous and Minnesotans didn’t squawk about the huge influx of Africans (likely fearing they would be labeled racists if they did!).  The US State Department and the contractors are also always on the look-out for meatpacking jobs for refugees, so there is likely some element of truth in that.

Here is the Star Tribune on the new (sure to be politically correct) book:

A new book published by the Minnesota Historical Society offers a detailed explanation, documenting the political, economic and social factors that led tens of thousands of Somali immigrants and refugees to make the state their new home.

Ahmed Ismail Yusuf, a local writer, is the author of “The People of Minnesota: Somalis in Minnesota.” It’s the latest in a book series that chronicles the lives of people who have helped define the state, including Swedes, Jews, Ojibwe, Germans, Hmong and African-Americans.

Yusuf writes that three words best tell the story of Somali people: sahan, or pioneer; martisoor, meaning hospitality, and war, a Somali word that literally means news. Somalis are a chatty bunch, and news travels fast and mostly by word of mouth. Those same three words also explain the migration to Minnesota.

Somali refugees first began flocking to the state in 1993, and today Minnesota has the nation’s largest Somali population.

Though the first arrivals came to the United States in 1990, they initially went elsewhere. San Diego was the original magnet city, but jobs were scarce there.

On May 20, 1992, an ad in the Sioux Falls (S.D.) Argus Leader announced that a turkey plant in Marshall, Minn., was hiring. Four Somalis from Sioux Falls applied and were immediately hired. News of their success reached San Diego, and soon a sahan party left to investigate. Four bachelors from California hopped in a car and traveled to Marshall’s Heartland Poultry plant, where they, too, found work.

Jobs were the initial draw, but those who chose to stay did so because they saw something in Minnesotans that resembled their own ways — hospitality.

Books may be purchased at the Minnesota History Center store or at local bookstores. A book launch with the author will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. on Jan. 24 at the African Development Center*, 1931 S. 5th St., Minneapolis.

* Read more about the African Development Center, here.

For new readers we have resettled more than 100,000 Somali refugees to cities large and small in the US over the last 25 years.  See one of the most widely read posts here at RRW.  In three years since 9/11 ( Bush years 2004, 2005, 2006) the number of Somalis arriving topped 10,000 per year.  Those refugees then began bringing in the family (chain migration!) until 2008 when shock of shocks! the State Department discovered that as many as 30,000 Somalis had lied about their kinship and weren’t related at all.  The State Department then closed the “family reunification” program for Somalis.  It has recently been re-opened for new and legit family members, but they have no intention of finding and deporting the liars.

And, on that “hospitality” issue, you might want to see reports on the latest Somali terrorism trials, here (Portland, OR) and here (San Diego) .  Or how about those Somali youths we raised in Minnesota who went back to Africa for Jihad training?   First we fly them here and resettle them, feed them, give them welfare, educate them and then we have to pay for their trials and imprisonment too!

Don’t forget—read about Al-Hijra, the Islamic Doctrine of Immigration!
