Just another troubled Somali refugee youth?

…..or one of the hundreds of Somalis who have gotten into the US across our porous borders and disappeared.

He isn’t missing anymore, seems he is basically tied up in Montana for a few years after disrupting an Amtrak train and suggesting there might be a bomb on board.

Let me ask you, readers, did you ever see this story in the mainstream media back in February when it occurred?  Heck the perp even appealed to CNN to get him on the news.

From the Great Falls Tribune.  Hat tip: Paul

A Minneapolis man pleaded guilty Tuesday to federal charges stemming from a February bomb scare on a westbound Amtrak train that caused the entire train to be evacuated in severe winter conditions west of Browning.

Hussein Abdi Hassan, 24, pleaded guilty to false information/hoaxes. Sentencing has been set for Aug. 22.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, after Hassan was arrested and escorted off the train for disorderly conduct on Feb. 14, he told a Glacier County Sheriff’s deputy that he had left “something very dangerous” on the train. The train’s conductor had called ahead to the sheriff’s office and requested that Hassan be taken off at the Browning train depot because he was intoxicated and extremely disruptive.

Based upon the threat, the Amtrak train was stopped a short while later in a field between Browning and East Glacier. The Glacier County Sheriff’s Office arranged for approximately 140 passengers to be transported by bus to the Browning Middle School, where community volunteers took care of them. In order to get to the buses, passengers had to walk approximately 75 feet across a frozen pond in extremely snowy and windy conditions.

An explosives team from Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls later searched the train after it was evacuated and found no explosives.  [Was this a probe, I wonder—ed]

[….]

Hassan demanded to know why he was being arrested.

“This is not right, I paid for a f- – – ing train ride, and where is my bag?” Hassan said. The deputy responded that he did not get off the train with a bag, at which point Hassan began to laugh, and said, “Damn fools, all of you.”

After Hassan asked again about his bag, he reportedly told the deputy, “No one will survive on that train.”

[….]

The deputy asked Hassan whether he was lying,* to which he responded, “I am Muslim, I cannot lie.” Hassan then stated to the deputy, “We can sell our story to CNN for a large amount. I’ll be famous for awhile.”

[….]

According to a March detention order signed by U.S. Magistrate Keith Strong, Hassan is not a U.S. citizen and could be deported back to Somalia upon conviction. Strong ordered that Hassan be held while the charges were being processed because he was deemed as a “serious” flight risk with no ties to Montana.

So where is CNN or anyone else in the mainstream media when you need them?  Oh, yes, of course, this story doesn’t fit the narrative of the Left (see Soros’ “welcoming” America project).

* In Islam one is permitted to lie under certain circumstances.  It is not clear what Hassan is talking about in this case.  Here is one discussion of the Muslim practice of taqiyya (spelling may vary).  Some believe that lying is just fine when it’s to an infidel.

Exposing Marxism in the Church

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

That is the name of a new website and it’s about the US Catholic Church and its takeover at the top by Marxist ideologues.  We’ve written about this before, but I’m interested to see that journalist and investigator Cliff Kincaid has actually created a website on the topic entitled, “Exposing Marxism in the Church,” here.  Not pulling any punches is he?   (Hat tip: Update at Blue Ridge Forum, here)

What is so galling to me, beyond the deception perpetrated on good and sincere Catholics who have no clue how deeply entrenched the “Church” hierarchy is in Hard Left politics, is the fact that much of the funding of, for example, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, comes from the taxpayer.   Do you know we actually fund their Washington, DC office to ostensibly take care of refugees while they engage in political dealings relating to climate change, marriage and illegal aliens?  See my post in February where the Bishops were lobbying Congress to spare them from the budget-cutters who were only trying to protect the taxpayer (and save the country)!

[It is sad to say that even some of the best Conservative Members of Congress do not get how they help fund their own Hard Left political opposition as well as to help build the voting base that will ultimately wipe out Conservatives, by funding the Bishops.]

When you visit Exposing Marxism…, note the Soros (Open Society) connection as well.  It’s just a coincidence that my previous post is also about Soros.  He is everywhere these days!

Other recent posts that might be of interest:  Who is above Soros?, at my other blog, and the Far Left has infiltrated the “faith” community, here, at RRW.

Soros building a more “welcoming” America and Tennessee is a target

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Yesterday, George Soros’ Open Society website ran a feature story on “Welcome to Shelbyville.”  That’s a propaganda film I’ve told you about too many times to count. (See most recently here).  “Open Society” wants you all to know that Tennessee is the model for future “welcoming” initiatives blah, blah, blah.

It all sounds so lovely—reaching out to the world’s downtrodden and “welcoming” them to your town.  What Soros is really welcoming is classic Marxism as the imported “have-nots” will go to war with the “haves.”   And, as this American Thinker article this week tells us, the third worlders will become the voters who assure America’s and Western Civilization’s demise.

From “Importing Disaster…”:

As long as we continue our suicidal immigration policies — where 85 percent of newcomers hail from the Third World and Asia (thanks, Ted Kennedy) — the only thing that will be in question about our descent into socialism, and perhaps beyond, is the rate.

Despite this…. all most conservatives talk about is 2012 this and 2012 that. Yet, what good is fighting for momentary political success if you don’t secure the cultural foundation of which it’s born? And how can you enjoy the latter when the rate of cultural invasion greatly exceeds the rate of assimilation?

Remember that people create the government; government doesn’t create the people. If you replace Westerners with Muslims, you no longer have Christendom (or even the shell of it we now inhabit) but Iran West. And if you replace apple-pie Americans with I-want-your-piece-of-the-pie socialists, you no longer have the US but the USSR redux. Oh, of course, our immigration scheme isn’t replacing us in one fell swoop; instead, it’s happening incrementally, which all the frogs in the frying pan of water don’t really seem to notice much. But as the aforementioned census data demonstrates, those increments are becoming bigger — and more rapid. And a death by a thousand cuts is still a death.

You might want to visit my post of two days ago about Tennessee as those Muslims we “welcomed” to Tennessee rallied at the Capitol over two bills—one to head off any terrorist attack and the other that seeks to re-gain some control by the State of Tennessee for refugee resettlement there.   Thankfully there are some political leaders in that state who aren’t going down without a fight.

Be sure to check out this map and see if you are a target for the “welcoming” socialists.
