Judicial Watch Targeted by #Obama Admin ! #TERRROR

Federal Contractor Tells Local Official to Keep Syria Refugee Plans Secret

Judicial Watch Targeted by Obama Administration

Three years ago we reported

on videos produced by the Government Services Administration (GSA) that show senior GSA officials and staff participating in costumed playacting and parodies.
Here’s a flavor: The Rocky Jog

– With the Rocky movie theme blaring in the background, senior GSA officials lead employees on an extended jog through the corridors of the GSA’s New York office and the streets of Manhattan. The jog is initiated by Ben Kochanski, deputy regional commissioner, GSA Public Buildings Service, whose 2012 salary was $141,066. Kochanski is then joined by Joanna Rosato, regional commissioner of GSA Public Buildings Service, whose 2012 salary was $164,500. Many additional GSA employees then join these two senior officials.
Remember: The GSA touts itself as an “innovation engine” that helps the government cut costs.
It now appears that the GSA didn’t like our meddling in their fun.
The Washington Times

recently highlighted a report

by the GSA’s Inspector General concerning an attempt by the GSA to strip away our status as a member of the media and to force us to pay exorbitant fees for records:

The GSA botched several high-profile open records requests, delaying them for months while political appointees got involved, Inspector General Carol F. Ochoa said. The findings were released while the administration was facing charges of slow-walking open records requests for Hillary Clinton’s emails, as well as other requests.
In the case of Judicial Watch, the order to strip it of media status came from political operatives with long ties to Democratic causes — and even from the White House.
The inspector general said the decision came at the behest of Gregory Mecher, a former Democratic campaign fundraiser who at the time was liaison to the White House. He is married to Jen Psaki, a longtime spokeswoman with the Obama administration and its election campaigns.
Ms. Ochoa said stripping Judicial Watch of media status violated several agency policies and things got worse when the GSA denied an appeal by the group.

The IG report was finalized last year, but only released last week! It was all politically motivated. Surprised?
Making matters even worse, it appears that political revenge was behind the GSA/Obama White House attack on Judicial Watch.
We obtained those videos three years ago

thanks to a June 15, 2012, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking videos produced by GSA’s Northeast Region (known as Region 2) from 2011 through June 2012. Because the agency failed to timely respond to our FOIA request, we filed a lawsuit on May 23, 2013 ( Judicial Watch v. U.S. General Services Administration

(No. 1:13-cv-00755)).
And we won. The court even forced the GSA to reimburse us for expenses.
As I told the Washington Times, the GSA’s response is outrageous, but not surprising. Welcome to our world. This is what we put up with all the time from the agencies. And we have to ask, why are White House liaisons involved in our FOIA request? Your Judicial Watch apparently is on the Obama administration’s enemies list.
The OIG report notes it took nearly a year for the GSA to provide the videos to us despite the average FOIA response time being about 60 days. On top of that, GSA political operatives snooped around our Internet web site and then took away our media status even though, as it says in the report, “GSA had granted Judicial Watch press status in the past, most recently for a FOIA request made less than two weeks before …”
Judicial Watch was alerted to the existence of these videos

by its client Linda Shenwick, a whistleblower in GSA who objected to frivolous expenditures in the GSA’s Region 2, the office which produced the videos. Unbelievably GSA had a policy of encouraging and rewarding employees who produced and performed in the controversial videos. In further retaliation, Ms. Shenwick has since been demoted and effectively removed from her duties.
You can see how the Obama administration did not let the rule of law get in the way of abusing its office to target whistleblowers and Judicial Watch. And you can also see the transparent lawlessness in the Clinton era State Department is but one example of the Obama administration’s war against the American people’s right to know.

Federal Contractor Tells Local Official to Keep Syria Refugee Plans Secret

Today we released 128 pages

of documents we obtained from the mayor of Rutland, Vermont, showing a concerted effort by the mayor and private organizations to conceal from the public their plans to resettle 100 Syrian refugees in the small southern Vermont town.
The documents include an April 14, 2016

, email from Amila Merdzanovic, executive director of the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program, to Mayor Christopher Louras, in which she wrote:

I want to share with you the concern my HQ has about holding a public forum. If we open it up to anybody and everybody, all sorts of people will come out of woodwork. Anti-immigrant, anti-anything. They suggest that the forum be invite only but make it as wide as possible. Work with faith leaders, United Way, etc… Perhaps, we could go back to the Congregational Church and continue the conversation there.

The mayor and resettlement organizations shrouded the plan in such secrecy that not even the town’s aldermen were informed of what was taking place behind closed doors. The aldermen eventually wrote to the U.S. Department of State protesting

the plan and opened an investigation

into the mayor’s actions. The State Department has not yet ruled on whether it will resettle refugees in Rutland despite the aldermen’s protest.
Handwritten notes state that the issue was, “Not what can ‘we’ do for ‘them,’ but what the diversity, cultural richness do for the community.” The documents contain detailed discussions

of what Rutland will need to provide for the refugees – including housing, jobs, medical care, and places for worship.
We received the documents in response

to a Vermont Public Records Law

request to the office of Mayor Christopher Louras.
Merdzanovic later told the Boston Globe

that the hidden talks were “the right thing to do — to move slowly, keep it to a small circle of people, and then expand.”
On April 10, 2016

, she wrote to the director of the State Refugee Office about her coordination with the mayor to keep the resettlement program secret:

He did share with me that the Governor’s office called him after getting a frantic call from DOL [Vermont Department of Labor] inquiring about the plan to resettle ‘100 Syrians in the next month’ in Rutland. Again, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of not sharing the information even if it is confidentially. Please respect our process, you will have plenty of opportunity to share and take action once we have met with the stakeholders. At that point we can and will share it widely. It will not serve any one of us well if the community in Rutland learned about it through the grapevine and not directly from us. The above example shows that what people hear and how they interpret it is two different things.

A May 3 document shows Hal Cohen, secretary of the agency for human services, introduces a meeting: “Vermont gains from diversity – new ideas, delicious food (laughs) …” A set of April talking points

by the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program and the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants stated

: “Refugees can bring global perspectives and expertise … direct knowledge about history and world events (unfiltered by media) … synergize energy & momentum with youth.”
The U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, a nonprofit

based in Virginia, is the parent organization of the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program working with the mayor’s office. According to its financial statements the Committee received $46,560,462 of its $50,858,706 (or 91.45%) for fiscal year 2015 from “government grants

. ”
Local opponents

of the refugee plans wanted a public vote on the proposal and transparency on the refugee settlement plan.
In December 2015 Judicial Watch sued

the U.S. State Department to obtain documents about the Obama administration’s plan to resettle Syrian refugees across the country. Judicial Watch is investigating the Obama administration’s Refugee and Resettlement program, which plans to bring an additional 10,000 Syrian refugees

to the United States in 2016, and even more in 2017.
Obama is pressing ahead with his plan even though 129 people were killed and 350 were wounded by Syrian-trained

terrorists in Paris. The Obama administration is working in conjunction with The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to settle these individuals all across the U.S. The federal government contracts with non-profits and other entities to settle and provide financial payments to refugees.
Americans should be concerned that the Obama administration is funneling at least $46 million in tax dollars to a shady operation that encourages elected officials to cover up Obama’s Syrian refugee scheme. We are now going through thousands more documents on Obama’s dangerous Syrian refugee gamble, so expect more news here soon.

Until next week...

#MUSLIM RAPE-GANG LEADERS BLAMES WHITES FOR HIS CRIMES ! #TERROR

Muslim Rape Gang Leader Loses Appeal Claiming All-White Jury Part of Anti-Islam Plot

3347

by LIAM DEACON30 Sep 2016

The leader of a notorious Muslim grooming gang who preyed on girls as young as 13, has lost a bid to have his convictions overturned after arguing the jury was part of a vast anti-Muslim conspiracy.

Shabir Ahmed, 63, is currently serving 22 years for preying on vulnerable teenagers on the street of Rochdale, plying them with alcohol and drugs, as well as for 30 child rapes on a young Asian girl he treated as a “possession” for more than a decade.

However, Mr. Ahmed appealed to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR),claiming that his all-white jury was biased and passed information to far-right groups – a breach of Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights which guarantees a fair trial.

He argued that because former British National Party (BNP) chief Nick Griffin posted that some defendants had been found guilty at the Liverpool Crown Court trial before verdicts had been returned, the jury could not have been impartial.

According to the Manchester Evening News, the divorced father of four also argued that the case against him had been “tailored by police to fit anti-Muslim prejudice”, putting it in breach of Article 3 of the convention which prohibits inhuman and degrading treatment.

He further claimed media coverage of the trial had breached Article 8 – his right to a private and family life – while there had also been a breach of Article 14 as he claimed he had suffered racial and religious discrimination.

However, the court promptly threw out his “wide range of other complaints” insisting that “none of the evidence before [the ECHR] demonstrated that there was substance to these claims”.

Rejecting the legal bid, the ECHR said: “If it had been proven that a juror had passed confidential information on the jury deliberations to far-right organisations, this would suggest that the juror and the jury as a whole had lacked impartiality.

“However, there was simply no proof that that had happened. There was no evidence to establish that [the jury] had been impartial.”

The case is likely to reignite a discussion about the abuse of human rights laws, which the Conservative government promised to abolish in its manifesto.

The Pakistani-born Mr. Ahmed had previously escaped being deported after arguing that to do so would breach his “human rights”.

#CHICAGO COLLEGE ACCEPTS #ISLAMIC #TERRORIST As Student !

Muslim who pleaded guilty to plotting to murder US soldiers in Chicago accepted into college, requests early release

OCTOBER 1, 2016 5:13 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER6 COMMENTS

“Masri, who wanted to blow up a busload of American soldiers, is currently in federal prison. However, according to court records he has also been accepted as a student at Harold Washington College in Chicago and is eligible for government tuition aid of almost $6,000. So now, the Masri wants a federal judge to release him early to a halfway house near the college so he can restart his life.”

What could possibly go wrong? “Masri said he wanted to strap on a bomb vest and blow himself up next to a military bus on a Chicago street.” But now he says: “I was never a bad person. I was stupid and delusion [sic] and I made bad choices.” But now he knows Islam is a Religion of Peace and pledges to “work very hard to dissuade young Muslims from extremism, by using my experience.” He even signed his letter “yours truthfully.”

What, indeed, could possibly go wrong?

Oh, and by the way, would Harold Washington College have accepted a Klansman who plotted mass murder but claimed to be reformed?

“Chicago terrorist asks judge for early release to attend college,” by Chuck Goudie and Ross Weidner, ABC-7 Chicago, September 27, 2016:

Chicago terrorist Shaker Masri wants out of prison early so he can attend college, and the I-Team has obtained a letter he sent to a federal judge where he made his case.

Masri, who wanted to blow up a busload of American soldiers, is currently in federal prison. However, according to court records he has also been accepted as a student at Harold Washington College in Chicago and is eligible for government tuition aid of almost $6,000.

So now, the Masri wants a federal judge to release him early to a halfway house near the college so he can restart his life.

On an undercover tap, Masri said he wanted to strap on a bomb vest and blow himself up next to a military bus on a Chicago street. Authorities intercepted the Gold Coast resident as he was leaving for Somalia to train with radical jihadists.

Masri pleaded guilty and was sentenced in 2012 to nearly ten years in prison.

However, in a personal letter to the judge who sentenced him, Masri claims he has been a model inmate, spending time wisely behind bars. “I was never a bad person,” he said. “I was stupid and delusion [sic] and I made bad choices.”

According to a letter from the college that he also sent to the judge, Masri was accepted as a student in July and even has a student ID number….

Masri also provided a letter from the U.S. education department stating that he may be eligible for a federal Pell Grant of more than $5,800 and other student grants and loans.

Six years ago, Masri’s name was on a different official document. In an al-Qaeda magazine, his name was on a list of U.S. prisoners that the terrorist group wanted released.

Now, the 33-year-old is making an offer of penance, telling the judge that he will “work very hard to dissuade young Muslims from extremism, by using my experience.” his letter signed “yours truthfully.”

Federal Bureau of Prisons records show Masri’s release date as Feb. 2018. He claims to be eligible for early release to a halfway house this coming February and wants to start college classes in March.

As for government student aid, ex-cons from drug cases and sex crimes are not acceptable but apparently convicted terrorists are eligible for federal grants and loans.

In a statement, a Harold Washington College spokesperson said:

“CCC is committed to providing each and every student applicant with an opportunity to obtain an education that will prepare them for success in the next step of their educational and professional careers. As an open access institution committed to preventing discrimination, we do not conduct background checks on our student applicants. The letter included in court documents is CCC’s standard acceptance letter sent to all applicants, and only marks the beginning of the admissions process.”

Thanks #MUSLIMS ! 80% of #POLICE in Sweeden ready to QUIT ! #TERROR

80% of Swedish police consider quitting the force because of violent, lawless, Muslim invaders posing as asylum seekers

Sweden may be verging on collapse as a new report suggests 80% of police officers are considering switching careers due to the danger they face from Muslims in the field.

Breitbart (h/t Liz) The criminal situation in Sweden may be heading for an even worse turn as a new report has shown that the vast majority of the Swedish police force is so unhappy they are looking into other careers. Sweden has been rocked by increasing levels of criminality from sex attacks at music festivals, hand grenade attacks and violence toward the police in areas populated mostly by migrants.

The report states that up to three Swedish police quit every day as they feel the government isn’t giving them the tools to tackle the epidemic of criminality Norwegian broadcaster NRK reports.

Swedish police Sergeant Peter Larsson told the broadcaster the challenges Swedish authorities face with the ever decreasing number of officers saying, “We have a major crisis. Many colleagues have chosen to leave. We will not be able investigate crimes, we have no time to travel to the call-outs we are set to do. A worsened working environment means that many colleagues are now looking around for something else.”

Larsson singles out violence against emergency services employees saying, “The violence against us in the police and the paramedics and firefighters, has become much worse. We’re talking about stone throwing, violence, fires. It has become much worse in recent years.”

And the new enemy is Muslim

Tina Svensson, a resident of one of the outer suburbs of Gothenburg says that crime has reached a fever pitch and police rarely ever arrive. Ms. Svensson described a particular incident of violence to the Norwegian broadcaster as an example of her experiences saying, “there were two guys who were shot. With some kind of automatic weapons. Two magazines, perhaps. It may not be what you would expect when you are out walking the dog.”

Ms. Svensson said that many people would not travel to her suburb because of the violence and admitted most were scared to live there.

Much of the crime in Sweden is linked to specific suburbs in large cities like Stockholm and Gothenburg that generally also have a high population of migrants. Suburbs like Rinkeby in Stockholm have become particularly famous for residents attacking journalists on more than one occasion.

Swedish police have accounted for a total of 14 (out of 55) no-go areas in which they rarely venture outside of their heavily fortified police stations for fear of being attacked by locals.

The Swedish government has claimed that using the word “crisis” is a step too far and have promised more funding to recruit more officers. Sergeant Larsson isn’t convinced the government, who have a dubious history of trying cover up migrant crime, is really trying to tackle the root of the problem warning, “If they choose not to make a real commitment now, it’s going to end in disaster.”
