BREAKING SCHLUSSEL EXCLUSIVE: Germany Secretly Frees Hezbollah Terrorist Murderer of Navy Diver Robert Stethem (Trades Terrorist for Hostage in Iraq)
By
In June, we wrote about .
Stethem was a true American hero. Only 23 years old, he was tortured, beaten, and trampled to death by the Hezbollah terrorists for the crimes of being an American, a U.S. serviceman, and refusing–to his last breath–to denounce America.
We’re sad to report that yet another prediction of ours has now come true. that Mohammad Ali Hamadi, one of the Hezbollah terrorists who murdered Stethem, would be released by the German government.
On Friday, the Stethem Family informed us that our worst fears have been realized and that Hamadi will not face justice for his brutal act of terrorism. Germany secretly released Hamadi to freedom in Lebanon.
The German government captured Hamadi in 1987. (Stethem’s other three murderers–Imad Fayez Mugniyeh, Hasan Izz-Al-Din, Ali Atwa–remain free, and are believed to be in Lebanon, Iran, or Syria.) Hamadi was carrying liquid explosives that were the same kind used in previous explosive terrorist attacks in France and Germany. Unfortunately, because Germany opposed our death penalty, Hamadi–who remains under indictment in the U.S.–was tried by the German government, not ours. He was given life in prison without the possibility of parole. But there was always an understanding that Hamadi would be extradited to the U.S. to face justice, if the Germans ever released him.
Germany kept none of its promises and showed the world that it really has no resolve in fighting terrorism. The Stethem family learned Friday that Hamadi was released to freedom. Despite a sentence of life without parole, Hamadi was up for parole twice and served only 16 years in prison. And unlike all other extraditions sought by the U.S. under an extradition treaty with Germany, Germany violated the extradition treaty and Hamadi’s extradition was not granted. Reportedly, Germany did this for two reasons 1) to gain the release of a female German hostage, Susanne Osthoff (a German convert to Islam), from terrorists in Iraq (apparently, the Germans do negotiate with terrorists); and Hezbollah has a strong connection with the ones in Iraq); and 2) in retribution for reported CIA terrorist camps in Europe. This is an outrage.
What’s worse is that Germany released Hamadi clandestinely and provided armed security to escort him to freedom in Lebanon, where his two brothers and other family members are high-ranking Hezbollah officers. Hezbollah-dominated and Syrian-controlled Lebanon–where Hamadi is a hero for murdering Stethem–will never extradite Hamadi to the U.S. to face justice.
The Stethem family is very upset. And all of us should be, too.
Germany is supposed to be our ally in the War on Terror. But actions like freeing Hamadi clearly demonstrate otherwise. The fact that the U.S. government is not making a big deal out of this also speaks volumes.
Before 9/11, Hezbollah murdered more Americans than any other terrorist group. Both the Wall Street Journal and New York Times have confirmed that Hezbollah is a component of the Al-Qaeda network and is training Al-Qaeda terrorists at camps in Lebanon. Both have also reported that Hezbollah is training insurgents who murder our troops in Iraq. British Prime Minister Tony Blair recently reported that Qaeda explosives used in Iraq bear the trademarks of Hezbollah “craftsmanship.”
But instead of publicly denouncing the actions of the Hezbollah and the German government in allowing a Hezbollah terrorist and murderer go free, our government is making nice with the enemy.
Top ranking federal officials–U.S. Attorney Stephen Murphy III, FBI Special Agent in Charge for Michigan , ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) Special Agent in Charge for Michigan and Ohio , Citizenship and Immigration Services official Carol Jenifer–recently broke pita at . They laughed with him about Hezbollah being on the State Department terrorist list, seeming to scratch their heads as to why it’s on the list. They clapped enthusiastically when he described what’s going on in Southern Lebanon as “resistance, not terrorism.”
It’s not rocket science to make correct predictions like we make on this site–that Hamadi would be set free or . Clueless, spineless appeasers like Murphy, Roberts, Moskowitz, and Jenifer, and the German government are running the show–and that makes the prospect of terrorists going free very predictable.
Robert Stethem must be looking down from Heaven and trying to make sense of what is happening here on mortal earth. He was an American patriot and for that, faced a brutal, early death. He would have been around 43, today. Around the same age, Murphy, Roberts, Moskowitz et al are patriotic only to themselves and their aggressive ambitions–and each continues to be promoted. When President Bush said, “You are either on our side or the terrorists’ side,” his own federal officials who oversee these three must not have been listening. (Moskowitz’ boss, ICE Director of Investigations , reportedly told other ICE officials that she’s glad Moskowitz “smoothed things over with the Islamic community of Detroit.” That, not catching terrorists, is the priority at ICE.)
A lot has changed in 20 years since Robert Stethem gave his life in service to America. And not for the better. There is only one thing that hasn’t changed: Robert Stethem and his family deserve justice.
And they have yet to get it.

This is an absolute tragedy, and it doesn’t bode well for our war on terrorism.
It seems as if “Old Europe” is populated and governed by a bunch of Socialist, terrorist-appeasers. They lost all will to survive. Instead, they cave to the threats of the very savages who are committed to their annihilation, and by extension, they are giving the terrorists the means and encouragement to kill us, too.
German politicians don’t want a replay of 9/11, and the bombings in Spain and London on their soil, so they capitulate to the demands of a bunch of Satan-worshipping barbarians. What they don’t realize, however, is that they cannot appease these murderous cultists – they are only postponing the inevitable. If the devil-worshipping scum don’t commit mass murder there today, they will certainly do it in the not-too-distant future.
Germany hasn’t learned from its own history. They coddled and appeased the Nazis until it was too late, and they’re repeating the same mistake
by coddling and appeasing the same Godless Pagans with evil in their soulless bodies.
I also don’t see the LIBERALS in the lamestream media covering this story.
Score another victory for the 7th century barbarians, the Dhimmicrats, and their allies in the LIBERAL media.
