IMPORTING ISIS: Paris Terror Attacks Prove the Mass "Refugee" Migration is a Trojan Horse

By Daniel John Sobieski

If it is confirmed, as Greek journalist Yannis Koutsomitis reports, that at least one of the Paris terrorists was a Syrian refugee, the lid will finally be blown off the Islamic invasion of Europe disguised as a refugee crisis:
Greek journalist Yannis Koutsomitis tweets that the country’s Ministry of Public Order and Citizen Protection has confirmed that the terrorist found with a Syrian passport on his person was, “registered as refugee on Leros island in October.”
The plight of those displaced by war in Syria is real and tragic, but just as crossing our border are a number of what are classified as OTMs or “other than Mexicans” coming across or southern border, may from state sponors of terror, so to among the Syrian refugees coming into Europe from Syia, there are undoubtedly Islamic State moles or young and sisillusioned Arab males easily recruited by the Islamic State. As The Express reports:

THE WINTER OF OUR DISCONTENT: Paul Ryan Slammed as Rift Between GOP Leaders and Voters Explodes

By Julia Hahn

Presidential candidate and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee is issuing a stark warning to newly-elected House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI): “reject the importation” of Middle Eastern migrants or “step down today.”

Huckabee’s challenge to Ryan highlights a widening rift between Republican voters— more than nine in ten of whom want to see immigration reduced— and Republican leaders who want to increase immigration.

By the end of the year, Congress will have to pass a government funding measure, which will be advanced by Ryan, to appropriate funds for all federal operations. As of now, the Ryan’s spending package is set to include a blank check for Obama’s Muslim refugee resettlement program.

Huckabee joins a growing choir of prominent conservatives who are calling on Ryan to issue a moratorium on the importation of Muslim refugees.

QOTD: "When terrorists attack innocents, when barbarians slaughter concertgoers, when zealots target outdoor cafes, when fundamentalists murder “infidels” on the streets of Paris, New York, Madrid, and Mumbai—when these things happen, we are reminded of just what a unique civilization we have inherited in the West and just how fragile that inheritance is. We are reminded, too, that among us are those who would be content to toss it all away.

In the darker corners of the Internet and the leftward precincts of academia, the Enlightenment values of liberty, reason, and universal human rights—not to mention the world-changing political revolutions they inspired in Europe and the Americas—amount to little more than a cheap intellectual justification for the historical forces of imperialism, slaughter, and subjugation. Usually, it’s easy to ignore those who respond to events such as the attacks in Paris with soliloquies to the effect of: “Well, you know who the real terrorists are, don’t you?” Or, “You can’t expect an entire civilization to take centuries of insults lying down.” Or, “Do you know what’s happening in Palestine right now, yesterday, and every day?”" --Matthew Hennessey

AS PARIS BURNED: Obama Quietly Doubles Processing Centers for Syrian Refugees into the U.S.

By Sara Noble

As Parisians were being slaughtered by radical Islamists, of whom at least one and perhaps two were migrants, Barack Obama was opening new processing centers which will double the number available to refugees in the Middle East in an effort to speed up and increase the numbers to be admitted.

Most Syrians are screened at U.S. resettlement at centers in Istanbul and Amman, Jordan.

The Obama administration is moving to increase and accelerate the number of Syrian refugees who might be admitted into the United States by opening new screening outposts in Iraq and Lebanon, administration officials told Reuters on Friday.

CAUTION: 15 Photos From the Paris Terror Attacks You’ll Never See in Legacy Media

Caution: there are several graphic photos included in this series

Legacy media has a long and undistinguished history of whitewashing Islamist terror attacks on the West. The 9/11 attacks, Bali, London, Madrid and now Paris have been largely sanitized. In 2003, for example, The Guardian was caught photoshopping pictures of the Madrid train bombings to erase severed limbs.

Earlier today, London's Telegraph pixelated the aftermath of the Paris attacks in the Bataclan concert hall.

In my opinion, we adults have to deal with the reality of Islamist terror attacks. We have to understand the inhumanity, the carnage, the very real tragedy engendered by an ideology that places no value on human life.

In light of that, the following photographs and screen-caps have not been circulated by media because they show the reality of Islamonazism.

THE RISE OF ISLAM IN EUROPE: Infantile Government

By Judith Bergman

  • The West, especially Europe, continues to be taken aback every time a new terror attack occurs, as if each one were the first.

  • "We are importing Islamic extremism, Arab anti-Semitism, national and ethnic conflicts of other peoples, as well as a different understanding of society and law." — From a leaked German intelligence document.

  • The current generation of European political leaders has exhibited an irresponsibility and lack of leadership that is almost infantile.

KERRY: Hey, that UN Global Warming Treaty we signed is legally binding and the Senate gets no say in the matter.

By John Binder

Now, apparently, there’s a United Nations global warming initiative that Congress won’t even get the chance to vote on.

Secretary of State John Kerry walked back remarks that a future United Nations global warming treaty would not be legally binding. Now Kerry says a climate treaty would, in fact, be legally binding and not require Senate approval.

IMPORTING ISIS: See Where Obama Is Resettling Syrian "Refugees" in the United States

'Member this from a month-and-a-half ago?


Mr. Obama's impeccable timing was in full feather this week. No sooner had he uttered the words ISIS is "contained" and "not gaining strength" than the world watched in horror as Paris bled.

Closer to home, the news is also ominous.

IDIOCY. Sheer. Unvarnished. Idiocy. From @MomsDemand.

Just when you thought the gun-grabbing Left couldn't debase themselves further, the Democrat-aligned "Moms Demand Action" -- an astroturf-laden front group aligned with Michael Bloomberg -- fell chin-deep into the swamp today.

With a couple of ill-timed tweets (e.g., "This is how AK-47s get to Paris"), this mentally disturbed group appears to believe that Islamist terrorists, who destroyed the World Trade Center with airplanes and bombed London and Madrid, would obey gun control laws.

No word on what they want to do with suicide belts.

QOTD: "When the Allahu Akbar boys opened fire, Paris was talking about the climate-change conference due to start later this month, when the world's leaders will fly in to "solve" a "problem" that doesn't exist rather than to address the one that does. But don't worry: we already have a hashtag (#PrayForParis) and doubtless there'll be another candlelight vigil of weepy tilty-headed wankers. Because as long as we all advertise how sad and sorrowful we are, who needs to do anything?

With his usual killer comedy timing, the "leader of the free world" told George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning, America" this very morning that he'd "contained" ISIS and that they're not "gaining strength". A few hours later, a cell whose members claim to have been recruited by ISIS slaughtered over 150 people in the heart of Paris and succeeded in getting two suicide bombers and a third bomb to within a few yards of the French president.

Visiting the Bataclan, M Hollande declared that "nous allons mener le combat, il sera impitoyable": We are going to wage a war that will be pitiless.

Does he mean it? Or is he just killing time until Obama and Cameron and Merkel and Justin Trudeau and Malcolm Turnbull fly in and they can all get back to talking about sea levels in the Maldives in the 22nd century? By which time France and Germany and Belgium and Austria and the Netherlands will have been long washed away." --Mark Steyn

AFTERMATH OF #PARIS TERROR NIGHTMARE: This is the photo media won’t show you

After the World Trade Center, Mumbai, London, Bali, and now Paris -- just how many more innocents have to die before the West comes to grips with a military ideology disguised as a religion?


Just a few hours before the attack -- leveraging his usual, impeccable sense of timing -- President Obama announced that "I don’t think [ISIS is] gaining strength ... we have contained them."

That figures.

IN THE AFTERMATH OF PARIS: Only One GOP Candidate Prepared to Handle our Open Borders Nightmare

By NumbersUSA

Immigration occupied little time in the three hours of debate on the Fox Business channel on Tuesday night.

But afterwards, Fox said immigration was the No. 2 issue that Facebook users wanted to talk about during the debate (taxes were No. 1).

And one eruption of disagreement over amnesty provided one of the most talked-about segments of the night.

QOTD: "At the Republican Presidential debate earlier this week, Texas Senator Ted Cruz did something unusual for a politician — he gave a straightforward answer to a question. Yes, Cruz made clear, if the Bank of America was on the brink, he would let it fail.

That answer made perfect sense to millions of Americans who are tired of politicians doing special favors for their well-connected friends on Wall Street. But doing such favors is what Washington politics is all about.

That reality was highlighted by Neil Barofsky, who served as the Special Inspector General for the TARP bailouts. His book “Bailout: An Inside Account of How Washington Abandoned Main Street While Rescuing Wall Street.” The title says it all. A lifelong Democrat, appointed by President Bush, Barofsky was stunned that the change from the Bush Administration to the Obama Administration made no difference. No matter which party controlled the White House, the Treasury Department saw its goal as insuring the financial success of the big banks." --Scott Rasmussen

DONORS ABANDON SHIP: Despite the post-debate spin, ¡Jeb! campaign running on fumes

Apparently they were watching a different debate. Immediately following the recent Fox Business debate, vintage media positioned Jeb Bush's performance as having breathed new life into the carcass of his dying campaign.

Headlines like "Steady debate performance banishes gloom for Jeb Bush" and "Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio Make Big Impressions During Debate" were typical over the last few days, but the reality was far different. You and I saw an unhappy candidate; someone who is obviously uncomfortable at the dais, less than eloquent, and unsuccessfully marketing unpopular positions on virtually every issue imaginable.

The donors weren't convinced either:

CRUZ GOES NUCLEAR: Rubio ‘Fought Tooth and Nail’ to Ram Amnesty Down America’s Throat

By Julia Hahn

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who received widespread praise for his Tuesday debate performance in which he slammed the media for its biased coverage of immigration, continued his verbal broadside against pro-amnesty special interests on today’s program of the Laura Ingraham Show.

In perhaps his most detailed comments to date criticizing donor-class favorite Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Ted Cruz gave a crushing assessment of Rubio’s involvement in co-authoring the La Raza-backed Gang of Eight bill. Cruz outlined Rubio’s coordinated effort with Chuck Schumer to sabotage conservative efforts to add popular amendments to the Obama-championed measure:

AMERICAN FASCISM: Call The Campus Protests What They Are

By David Horowitz

The racist, McCarthyite, totalitarian movement rearing its ugly head on college campuses as diverse as Missouri, Yale and Vanderbilt is being treated by conservatives as a case of kids too fragile to handle views with which they disagree.

This may work as a debating tactic but it misunderstands both the malignancy of the politics behind the campaign and the ferocity of its radical leaders.

Now they are calling for the heads of liberals (and getting them). But quaint American prejudices like the First Amendment still stand in their way. But for how long? If this movement, which includes large contingents of the Democratic Party – including the president, achieves critical mass and succeeds in its agendas and acquires the necessary power, who can doubt that they will be putting dissenters in prison and worse?

GOOD NEWS: Obama Administration Publishes Alien Welcome Guide Offering Welfare in 14 Different Languages

Through most of American history, immigrants were required to prove they were in a state of sound health and would not become a burden on the state. In fact, the official history of Ellis Island describes the immigration process in no uncertain terms.
First and second class passengers who arrived in New York Harbor were not required to undergo the inspection process at Ellis Island. Instead, these passengers underwent a cursory inspection aboard ship, the theory being that if a person could afford to purchase a first or second class ticket, they were less likely to become a public charge in America due to medical or legal reasons... [officials felt] more affluent passengers would not end up in institutions, hospitals or become a burden to the state. However, first and second class passengers were sent to Ellis Island for further inspection if they were sick or had legal problems.

This scenario was far different for "steerage" or third class passengers. These immigrants traveled in crowded and often unsanitary conditions near the bottom of steamships with few amenities, often spending up to two weeks seasick in their bunks during rough Atlantic Ocean crossings.

Can You Guess the Missing Word From the Fox Business Debate Word Cloud?
 

If there's any doubt that Fox News has a particular, eh, bias against a certain policy issue near and dear to most Americans' hearts, the outlet's word cloud says it all.

Can you guess which word is missing?

Hint: it begins with an I and ends with MMIGRATION.
