Marine Le Pen, the French bogeyman? The increasingly unhinged Glenn Beck was trashing her this past week. http://www.glennbeck.com/2015/01/08/their-interests-are-aligned-glenn-reveals-how-radicals-on-all-sides-are-exploiting-terror-attack/
Poor Bulgaria! Under EU immigration policy if ‘asylum seekers’ enter the EU through a given country, they must be returned to that country for processing. The big western European countries are only too happy to send them back to Bulgaria:
Editor: Too many stories, not enough time. Do you have some links to add to our list of ‘Invasion of Europe’ stories from this past week? If so, send them along and I’ll add them here.

Frankly, I had a lot of hope for Senator Paul a few years ago when he raised some hell in Washington over how those two Iraqi (now convicted and in prison) terrorists slipped through Homeland Security’s hands (they lied on refugee applications, big surprise!) when one of them had fingerprints on IED fragments from Iraq. He is the only Senator I have seen even make a peep about the Refugee Program.
Maybe I’m the only one who remembers Senator Paul’s brief stand! See posts here, here, here and here. After 2013 (what! when 2016 was around the corner?) it sure sounds like Paul himself erased concerns for Kentucky and America right out of his mind!

Why doesn’t Senator Rand Paul get it—if he came out strongly right now about American security as it relates to LEGAL and illegal immigration he would have a shot at the Presidency in 2016!
This is the news that got me steamed this morning. From CNN:
(CNN)Sen. Rand Paul thinks that France needs to rethink its immigration policy in light of the recent terror attacks.
The Kentucky Republican said Thursday that intelligence and surveillance tactics should still be employed to prevent terrorism, but argued “there’s some policy changes, though, that could be better.”
“I think also you got to secure your country. That means maybe that every Muslim immigrant that wishes to come to France shouldn’t have an open door to come,” he said on Sean Hannity’s radio show, referring to Islamic radicalization in Europe.
Paul suggested such policy be considered by France and “many of these other countries that had old colonies in predominantly Muslim areas.”
He does throw in a comment about our border security and student visas (big deal), but more than any other Senator in Washington, maybe even more than Senator Jeff Sessions (who doesn’t say much about refugees), Paul knows about the dangers and the cost of our refugee program.
Paul, a potential presidential contender, argued that “it’s also my concern here,” saying the U.S. border “is a danger to attack” and criticizing what he described as a poorly monitored student visa program.
See our extensive archive on Kentucky and its many problems with refugees, here. Paul’s home town of Bowling Green was until recently a ‘preferred resettlement site!‘ Sometime after 2009 it was taken off the list, why? because it is so overloaded with refugees that the feds and their resettlement contractors are now focusing on other Kentucky cities like Louisville (where they eat camels!).
Update! Unbelievable! Somali youths want $4 million in Minnesota state fundsto help fight terrorist leanings among their fellow Somali-Americans. Kind of sounds like extortion doesn’t it! (Thanks to ‘Pungentpeppers’ for spotting it)
As the world is mesmerized this morning by news from France—about French Muslims (parents were welcomed by France) who thumbed their noses at French generosity and became trained jihadists in the Middle East—and who then rewarded their adopted country by bringing carnage to Paris, I thought it would be timely to tell you about the potential problem for the US.
Not me! Follow links for the whole story! https://refugeeresettlementwatch.org/2014/08/28/minnesota-somali-refugee-believed-to-be-second-american-killed-while-fighting-with-isis/
The US has also exported jihadi fighters mostly from the Somali “community” in Minneapolis. Just last month word spreadthat one more of those fighters died in battle, but where are the others? Does the US have a plan to stop them if they attempt to return to American soil? And, don’t you wonder why the French didn’t stop the Islamic killers as they returned to France? Is political correctness killing them?
In the last week I came across the numbers for how many Somali refugees the US State Department and its contractors (mostly ‘religious charities’—ha! ha!) have brought to America at the UN’s direction since 2004.
Below are the dirty dozen states whose political leaders never said a word as Somalis were dropped off.
The number in parenthesis is the number arriving since 2004. You can visit our older post, here, for the numbers of Somalis resettled over the last 30 years. We have already resettled 2,801 in this fiscal year(2015)!
Remember! Large numbers of Somalis would not have ‘found their way’ to America without the US State Department and Christian and Jewish federal contractors!***
The total since 2004 was 79,266!
1. Minnesota (13,010)
2. Ohio (6,318)
3. Texas (6,041)
4. New York (4,517)
5. Arizona (4,457)
6. Washington (3,782)
7. Georgia (3,692)
8. California (3,087)
9. Missouri (2,564)
10. Tennessee (2,537)
11. Massachusetts (2,522)
12. Utah (2,367)
If you are interested in the number your state received, then send a comment and I’ll look it up. In a previous post this morning we gave you the number for Kentucky.
35,000 attend Paris vigil for slain writers. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/terrorism-in-france/
Thousands also gathered in Trafalgar Square in London to show solidarity with France and to stand up for freedom of speech in the wake of the horrific terror attack in the heart of Paris earlier today. Demonstrators held pens aloft to proclaim their defiance against those who would snuff out our western values.
However, the spontaneous vigils are not the “shocking” response we refer to in our headline, it is what the Arab world is saying that is shocking! RRW guest writer ‘Pungentpeppers’ read Al Jazeera’s Arabic language facebook page today and has compiled the following eye-opening report about the view taken by Middle Eastern commenters.
How are Middle Easterners – some of whom are living in Western countries – reacting to news of the attacks in France?
Westerners are often taken aback when they finally hear the true Middle Eastern spin on terrorist attacks. Although our Western media dutifully repeats the now tiresome phrase “terrorism is not Islam” and reports that Muslims condemn such attacks, that is not the complete story. Do you know why Muslims condemn such attacks? The extent of their self-deception will stun you.
First, if you have not heard yet, the terrorists who launched the attack on the magazine “Charlie Hebdo” were yelling the already familiar Islamic victory cry of joy: “Allahu Akbar”. But more importantly, they also shouted – in fluent French – “nous avons vengé le Prophète!” or “we have avenged the Prophet”. These attackers meant that they got revenge for the magazine having published cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohamed. Their mastery of French indicates they may be French citizens.
I visited Al Jazeera’s Arabic language Facebook page and checked the “top comments” to an early story that came out about the attack.
Keep in mind that, similar to story comments in the U.S., you’ll find the typical disturbed people and fools spouting nonsense. However, the number of likes received gives you a sense of whether a person is an outlier or represents an opinion supported by many other people.
The most popular comment, with over 500 likes, was made by Salim Mansour of Algeria. He said the Jews masterminded the attack in order to punish France for having recognized the State of Palestine and for voting in support of the State of Palestine in the Security Council. He added “And God only knows what the Jews are planning in the coming days”. Later, replying to his own comment, and garnering 16 additional votes, he stated that since the attack was done so quickly and professionally, it had to be the work of French and Jewish intelligence agencies and it was designed to foment hatred and increase Islamophobia.
Most of those who replied to his comment concurred. A woman from North Africa who lives in the U.S. wrote, “it is a point of view that cannot be ignored” and wished the commenter well. An Iraqi who lives in Germany wrote his words are logical since Israel hates Muslims and hates France after its vote, so Israel hit two birds with one stone. A few people, however, recognized the attack for what it was and dissented, saying it was religiously motivated. One man from Gaza demonstrated a typical Middle Eastern way of handling contradictory thoughts: he agreed, “that’s how people are thinking”, but added that if the dead defamed the prophet they should go to hell, but if they were innocent the attack is a crime. (Make up your mind whodunit – Israel or Islamists?!)
The next most popular comment, with over 230 likes, was made by Rachid Dzair of Algeria. His comment was “Your redemption, O Prophet of God.” I.e., the attack was religiously motivated to redeem the honor of the Muslim prophet, Mohammed. This comment stimulated the most replies, over 40. One woman’s reply, receiving 20 likes, said that they kill thousands of Muslims but when 11 of theirs dies, it’s a big deal. One man’s reply (also with 20 likes) said these are brutal, inhuman, terrorist acts. [Of course, it’s easy to condemn if you believe Israelis did it!] A man from Jordan picked up 5 votes for his reply that terrorism is a mental disease and has nothing to do with religion, reason or humanity. One worrying comment from a Syrian living in Sweden (security risk?) has a smiley face and said “Yes, your redemption, O Prophet of God. Good answer.”
Now I’ll pick some other popular comments.
A Moroccan got 100 votes for again presenting the theory that the Jews did it in response to France’s recognition of the State of Palestine and said the attack is an attempt to distort the image of Islam in France and Europe.
An Egyptian got close to 60 votes for saying that this is a political game for the purpose of targeting and persecuting Muslims in Europe.
A Tunisian living in France got 40 votes for his comment. He strongly criticized the attack, said (among other things) the terrorists are beasts and enemies of real Muslims and Islam, and that Islamic peoples must condemn them and tighten the noose around them or they will not stop until they send us all back to prehistoric times. The other Arabs were divided as to how they should disagree with his obviously “wrong” point of view: Two settled on the theory of the French vote on Palestine; two decided to say it was the cartoons; and a few questioned the Tunisian living in France along the lines of “Who told you it was Islamists who carried out the attacks?” [i.e., Don’t believe Western media!]
How do you feel after reading this? Are you disappointed – and worried? I’ll bet you didn’t know that that’s how many Middle Easterners think? Every time you hear on the news that Muslims condemn the attacks, pause and remember those Middle Eastern twists and spins.
Just a reminder! One year ago: “Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), were all present at the hearing and unanimously expressed support for opening up the U.S. to more Syrian Refugees.” http://www.aaiusa.org/blog/entry/senators-express-bipartisan-support-for-opening-up-u.s.-to-more-syrian-refu/
France has learned the hard way, as is most of Europe now—they let in the invaders!
It’s too early to say whether America might be getting the message, and certainly my small but growing readership couldn’t possibly be definitive, but I can at least say there is something happening, some encouraging movement happening.
I can also say, and in this case, unequivocally! that without the Refugee Resettlement Program in the US, we would be in a much better position to fend off the Islamisation (the Hijra, the Jihad) from within.
Just recently I came across some numbers you should know. We resettled 79,266 Somali Muslims in the US since 2004. We also resettled 71,187 Muslim Iraqis (40,000 of that number are Sunni Muslims) since 2004. And, much to my great surprise, we dropped off in your towns 11,451 Burmese Muslims in 11 years! There are others, from other countries, but those are just three of the big ones.
Only a tiny number of those ethnic/religious groups would have gotten here (found their way here!) without the UN and the US State Department working together to facilitate their migration to America.
Asst. Secretary of State for Population, Refugees and Migration, Anne Richard, has announced we will take approximately 10,000 Syrians. Most will be selected by the UN and will thus come from UN camps which house mostly Muslims.
Everyone with concerns, must now contact your US Senators and Members of Congress! In truth we do need to do much more, but no one is taking a lead!
By the way, the state receiving the most refugees is Texas! So, at minimum let Ted Cruz know what you think!
