I’ve often decried the dumb women’s magazines some of your wives, girlfriends, sisters, and daughters read.  These magazines are for morons with vaginas.  And so it goes with the latest issue of Marie Claire. Amid articles about, “The Orgasmic Potential Written All Over Your Face,” and “Is Outweighing Your Husband Hazardous to Your Marriage?” (they need a magazine to answer this question?!), November’s Marie Claire whitewashes and cheers on Nada Nadim Al-Aouar DeLaDurantaye Valley Prouty.  Remember Prouty, the illegal alien CIA/FBI agent who spied for her Hezbollah financier brother-in-law, indicted fugitive Talal Chahine?  She’s BAAAACK.  And a column I wrote for the New York Post about her is referenced and dissed.

Prouty wrote a BS book, “Uncompromised: The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of an Arab American Patriot in the CIA,” proving what we already know:  that there is no shortage of chutzpah in America, and that there is especially no shortage of chutzpah among Arabs in America. No shortage of rich fertilizer either. But, hey, it works, as evidenced by the 15 raving reviews for Prouty’s book by some of the most moronic and gullible Americans alive. That quote about the birthrate of suckers was conservative. I personally am waiting for the book, “Uncompromised:  The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of an American Patriot in Haute Cuisine” by The Ghost of Jeffrey Dahmer, but that’s not the segment of America that’s in the chutzpah biz.  I’m not quite sure how spying for your Hezbo family members and pleading guilty to accessing the FBI database on their behalf (as well as naturalization fraud), then crying “I Wuz Robbed!” comprises either “redemption” or “patriot[ism].”

The book and her associated publicity tour is an attempt to whitewash herself and the fact that she illegally accessed the FBI database to feed Chahine the details of the federal investigation of his money-laundering to Hezbollah from his Mid-East restaurant chain.  And women’s magazine, Marie Claire, is helping Prouty do the whitewashing.  The magazine is upset that a New York Post column I wrote references Prouty as “Jihad Jane,” when that’s exactly what she is and more.

As you’ll recall, last year, Prouty’s lawyer, Mark Zaid, got her on “60 Minutes,” where CBS News’ Scott Pelley did her bidding and whitewashing.  Pelley presented a picture of her brother-in-law with the late Hezbollah leader, Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, and she claimed she didn’t know who it was.  (Zaid also threatened to sue me, but never has because he has no case–she did everything I’ve accused her of . . . and pleaded guilty to most of it.)  As I’ve previously pointed out on this site, if you are a counterterrorism agent and you don’t know who the head of one of the world’s three biggest Islamic terrorism groups is, you should be fired for incompetence.  It’s impossible for Prouty, a Hezbollah native and sister-in-law of Hezbollah’s chief American financier, not to know of Fadlallah.  It’s like an American music fan in the 1980s claiming not to know who Michael Jackson is.  She knew exactly who Fadlallah was and lied about it.  The rest of Pelley’s segment was equally appalling, with him presenting this Hezbollah spy and immigration and marriage fraud perpetrator as some sort of American Arab patriot.  She’s playing the same card in a ridiculous “interview” with writer Abigail Pesta in the November 2011 issue of Marie Claire, blaming her prosecution on the fact that she’s an “Arab-American.”  Total bullcrap.

Even more sickening is the fact that Marie Claire NEVER mentions the essential facts:  that Prouty’s brother-in-law was Chahine, who was indicted for money-laundering over $21 million to Hezbollah;  that Prouty accessed on more than one occasion the FBI database to inform her brother-in-law on the status of the agency’s (and other agencies’) Hezbollah investigation;  and that she pleaded guilty to doing so.  None of this is mentioned.

Instead, the magazine presents a different to the airheaded women who read it:  that Prouty was a poor college student who was forced to commit immigration fraud so she could stay in the U.S. or be forced into an arranged marriage, that she went on to become a patriotic FBI and CIA agent who helped stop terrorism (she didn’t–she, in fact, helped her brother-in-law, a major terrorism funder–know when to flee the US), and that people who didn’t like Arabs went after her strictly for the marriage fraud.

Reality check:  Prouty’s brother-in-law, Chahine, was a multi-millionaire who could have given her the money to stay in college.  This wasn’t about that.  It was about staying in the U.S. and doing it the quick and easy way:  phony marriage.  In fact, Chahine was the one who apparently provided the fraudulent marriage partners–men who were supposedly cooks or dishwashers in his restaurant chain–for Prouty and another Lebanese Arab woman.  There is no evidence that Prouty ever stopped any terrorists, but the people and places she named in the “60 Minutes” interview were all Sunni.  She, a Druze Arab, was allied with Shi’ite Muslims–her sister (who converted to Shia Islam) and her brother-in-law, Chahine, Hezbollah’s top American money man.  She was doing their bidding in helping bring down Sunnis.  In terms of fighting terrorism, I’d love to know how it’s “fighting terrorism” or “patriotic” to tip off America’s top Hezbollah donor that the feds were on to him and how far along they were, enabling him to flee the country at just the right time.  Remember, Hezbollah is the group that murdered over 300 U.S. Marines and Embassy officials in Beirut.  And it worked with Al-Qaeda to target Americans in blowing up the Khobar Towers and setting up IEDs in Iraq.  And Prouty helped their top American sugar daddy, while she had a gun and a badge and was supposed to be working for the U.S. government.

Here is the Marie Claire Magazine interview, in case you need to vomit and don’t have ipecac available. Note that above it is a picture of a poor African Muslim woman walking through the desert looking for water (hey whatta coincidence!):

You should note that this same issue of Marie Claire contains an article that blames violence by women in August’s U.K. riots on their boyfriends and poverty. PUH-LEEZE. Yup, for Marie Claire, women are never violent and they’re never spies for Islamic terrorist groups, betraying America. It’s always everyone else’s fault.

If you find this farce of an “interview” as disgusting as I do, tell Marie Claire (owned by Hearst Magazines–hey, maybe they have Patty Hearst/SLA Stockholm Syndrome) what you think about whitewashing an agent for Islamic terrorists as some sort of “American patriot” and victim of “discrimination.” E-mail: joannacoles@hearst.com, which is the address given in the magazine’s letters to the editor page.

Here are some documents Marie Claire wants us to ignore. Does this sound like an “American patriot done wrong” and “discriminated against for being Arabic” to you?
