Don’t say I didn’t warn you about Harold Hurtt.  Back in March, I broke the exclusive story that Hurtt, the fired Houston police chief, was Barack Obama’s and Janet Napolitano’s top choice to run Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Section 287 (g) program which works with state and local police and allows them to enforce immigration laws.  And it was announced yesterday–as I predicted–that he got the job.  No surprise to those who read me in March.  Just a surprise to the folks at FOX News.

EXCLUSIVE: Who is Harold Hurtt? Meet the Immigration Enforcement Foe . . . Who Wants to be ICE’s Public Face

By Debbie Schlussel

World of Hurtt: Illegal Aliens’ Best Friend Gets Key ICE Job

The program is also known as the Office of State and Local Coordination (OSLC).  Now, the rest of the media–especially the blind and toothless mainstream conservative media–is catching up.  But I told you Hurtt would get this job, months ago.

As I told you then, Hurtt not only spoke out against that program–testifying before Congress against police aiding in immigration enforcement, but was the key player in Houston’s sanctuary city status, prohibiting his police from enforcing immigration laws.  That and his other carelessness made him a defendant in a lawsuit filed by the widow of one of his murdered cops, after two of them were shot and killed by illegal aliens.  Hurtt built his career on open borders baloney and opposing enforcement of immigration laws, including and especially the very program he will now head up.  It’s an incredible joke–like putting his boss, Napolitano, on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.

You won’t hear Sean Vannity, Michelle Fraudkin, or Laura Ingraham elicit a peep about this because they know on which side their hypocritical bread is buttered.  Since he pays one of them in the seven figures and the other two in the six figures, they’ll remain silent about their boss, Rupert Murdoch, coming out big-time in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens in his new open borders group called “Partnership for a New American Economy.”  And he’s stepping up the lobbying for so-called “immigration reform, ” that nice euphemism for amnesty. And you won’t hear most other hypocritical, so-called “conservatives” say anything about this either because–ya know–they wanna be on FOX News. Oh, and did I mention that Murdoch and Bloomberg intend to employ Bloomberg’s gun-control campaign tactics?

FOX News Owner Rupert Murdoch (w/ Saudi Co-Owner Prince AlWaleed)

Pimping Illegal Alien Amnesty

In a mark of utter chutzpah, today, Fraudkin’s nationally syndicated column attacks Barack Obama’s Labor Department chief, Hilda Solis, for installing a hotline phone number through which illegal aliens can report underpaid wages.  But, in fact, that’s a good idea because it keeps employers from hiring illegal aliens, if they know they’ll be required to give them the same pay and benefits as Americans and will be fined for doing otherwise.  That’s why I and the Center for Immigration Studies supported the Bush Administration on the too infrequent occasions when the Bushies went after employers who bilked illegal aliens.  It’s a good way of discouraging them from hiring them.  But Fraudkin, who won’t go after her own boss, Murdoch, for openly supporting amnesty for illegal aliens, is instead focusing her faux-anger on a move that will actually hurt employers who hire illegals. Hey, I guess I can’t fault her for being consistent in letting partisan talking points and vitriol make up for lack of intellect and even the faintest critical thinking skills.

Vannity & Fraudkin Strangely Silent on Their Boss’ Illegal Alien Amnesty BS

It’s no surprise because Murdoch is no conservative.  And FOX News is, by design, only a tiny hair better than MSNBC and CNN, because Murdoch knows gullible conservatives will quickly consume whatever crumbs they’re given.  FOX News channel is a business, not anything of principle or ideology.  And the proof is in the pudding of its hypocritical owner.  He makes gazillions off of you watching his talking heads whine about amnesty and puts that money into causes like this pro-illegal alien group. Yet, gullible, mindless sheep on the right continue to watch his news channel, refusing to say, “We won’t watch your channel as long as you promote amnesty.” Hypocrites.

Chief executives of several major corporations, including Hewlett-Packard, Boeing, Disney and News Corp., are joining Mayor Michael Bloomberg to form a coalition advocating for immigration reform – including a path to legal status for all undocumented immigrants now in the United States.

The group includes several other big-city mayors and calls itself the Partnership for a New American Economy. It seeks to reframe immigration reform as the solution to repairing and stimulating the economy.

Bloomberg and Rupert Murdoch, chairman and CEO of News Corp., appeared together Thursday on Fox News to discuss the effort.

I don’t know about you.  But the last place I’d wanna vacation or have my vacation home is a country that is headquarters to every Islamic terrorist group, a shelter for Nazi war criminals and Olympic massacre terrorists,  a Hezbollah haven that takes its orders from Iran, and a haven for some of the worst human rights abuse in the world.

But that’s how Syria is marketing itself . . . to Americans.  The country is making itself over as a “Post-Dubai” western paradise.  And to that end, it’s building American-style luxury homes.  Very scary.  Dubai was bad enough.  But Syria makes it look like jolly, cheery Fiji. Behind the homes are United Arab Emirates, Egyptian, and Saudi developers, including none other than the Bin Ladin Group. Oh, and one “tiny” detail: it’s all part of Obama’s and Bashar Assad’s plan to “liberalize” Syria and restore relations, along with Obama’s reinstating of an American ambassador in Damascus. They can build all the American-style homes they want. It’s still terrorist state Syria. And facades and complexes won’t change that.

YAFOUR, Syria—American-style luxury housing and mixed-use estates are springing up like daisies in this desolate valley set against the hills just a few miles from the capital Damascus, the latest manifestation of a Middle East real-estate boom.

. . . Do we continue to let thousands of Iraqi refugees–many of them MUSLIM–into the United States, especially in economically depressed areas like Michigan, where there aren’t enough jobs and unemployment is nearly 14%?

Iraqi Refugees: Shukran [Thanks] America & Obama/Bush

For “Winning” in Iraq & Letting Our People Invade Your Country

I’ve written about this before.  We are importing tens of thousands of Iraqi immigrants.  Why?  Those on the right and those who cheered Bush and still love the guy tell us that “we won” in Iraq, that the surge worked, that there’s now democracy, and tolerance, and freedom for all religions and religious sects in Iraq.  Just yesterday, Rush Limbaugh was ridiculing Joe Biden for saying that Shi’ites, Sunnis, and Kurds couldn’t live together peacefully.  Well, the proof is in who’s coming here to American shores.  Thousands of Christian and Sunni Iraqis.  And Shi’ite Iraqis, too.  If things are so great there, why are they coming here?

Answer:  because things aren’t so great there.  Because we didn’t “win.”  Because extremist Iran-backed Shi’ites  rejected Christian and Sunni votes and candidates to keep themselves in power.  And Christians can no longer live there.  Neither can many Sunnis.  And the Shi’ites–well, they’re coming here, too.  We make no distinction for the religion of those whom we admit in the thousands of Iraqi immigrants crowding our shores.  Looks like Biden–however much the fool that he is–wasn’t so foolish or wrong, after all.  Yet, no-one on the right will admit it . . . while the Iraqi refugees pour onto our shores.

And, to make matters worse, the Obama State Department is lifting restrictions and allowing thousands more to come to the most economically depressed state in America because, apparently, there aren’t enough jobless people and those draining benefits:

Refugees from Iraq can again settle in southeastern Michigan, provided they have relatives or at least friends in the area.

It’s hard to believe–but actually not surprising at all–that so many sheep keep repeating the mindless slogans:  “A religion of peace,” “most Muslim are peaceful, the violent ones are just a minority,” “a few men who hijacked the religion,” etc.  You’ve heard ’em all.

That Was Then . . .

This Is Now . . .

But despite the slogans, facts are stubborn things.  And as I always say, “That was then, this is now.”  Here’s yet another example.  Nothing’s changed in Germany.  When will people wake up and realize that the new Nazis–actually the old Nazis (since we know they played a huge role in Hitler’s forces and allies)–are Muslims? Disregard the word “Arab” in this case, as it’s a euphemism here for a very specific religion, not a country or region of origin. As reader Phil notes, “Germany and Europe in general have brought it on themselves.” Yup, and tomorrow, they’ll come for the gentiles. It’s already too late. Europe was lost more than a decade ago. It’s just a matter of time until the cancer completely metastasizes.

BERLIN – Arab youths threw stones at a Jewish dance group during a street festival in Hannover, injuring one dancer and forcing the group to cancel its performance, German police and dance officials said Thursday.

Although I loved the show, “Seinfeld,” I’m not the biggest fan of its creator/star, Jerry Seinfeld.  I didn’t like it when his wife plagiarized her cook book, and he savagely attacked the author of the original for suing over the theft.  And I didn’t like it when–at a press event–Jerry Seinfeld yelled at me and got angry because I asked him why Hollywood is obsessed with Jews and Judaism, when we are a minority of the U.S. population and want to be left out of it.  Plus his new NBC show, “The Marriage Ref,” is soooo annoying.

But Seinfeld is right on target in his comments about that talentless skank, Lady Gaga a/k/a Stefani Germanotta (except for the part where he says she’s “talented”).  The first part of her showbiz name just ain’t accurate.  Gaga is a creep.  She gave fans at a New York Mets game a middle finger salute and otherwise acted like the spoiled, over-rated celeb that she is.  And she was rewarded with a stay in Seinfeld’s box at Citi Field.  And I’m not ashamed to say it’s schadenfreude that this fashion victim piece of trash fell the other day because she wears those stupid, absurdly high heels and couldn’t walk in them.  Seinfeld hit the mark in commenting about it on New York’s WFAN-AM, Monday.

“This woman’s a jerk. I hate her,” Seinfeld said. “I can’t believe they put her in my box that I paid for! You give people the finger and you get upgraded? Is that the world we’re living in now?”

*** bumped up from 1:36 p.m. ET ***

I just received a call from the family of Navy diver Robert Dean Stethem, who informed me that, over the weekend, Mohammad Ali Hamadi–the Hezbollah terrorist who murdered Rob Stethem–was killed by U.S. drones over Pakistan.   The story hasn’t been covered by any mainstream English-language media, but it is all over the non-English foreign press.  One wonders why America is not publicizing and celebrating the elimination of this top terrorist and vile being. Hamadi is on the FBI list of most wanted terrorists.

Hezbollah Terrorist Murderer Mohammad Ali Hamadi:

Thanks to US, He’s On His Way to the 72 Dark Eyed Revirginized

You may recall that, last week, DebbieSchlussel.com was one of the only media outlets to remember the 25th anniversary of the Hezbollah hijacking of TWA Flight 847 and the Hezbollah torture murder of Stethem, a brave patriot who refused to denounce America.  As you may also recall, in December 2005, I broke the story that Germany released Hamadi to freedom, despite U.S. protests, something I’d predicted would happen. Hamadi was released in exchange for a German convert to Islam, who was held hostage in Iraq.

Hamadi’s presence in Pakistan is significant because it shows that Shi’ite Hezbollah is working with the Sunni Taliban.  Hamadi was a top Hezbollah operative, and he would not be in Pakistan without the express blessing of Iran and Hezbollah chief Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, as well as Hezbollah spiritual leader Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah.  Hamadi was meeting with top Al-Qaeda officials at the time he was sent to 72-dark-eyed-virgin-land.  That is also significant because it is yet more confirmation of that which I’ve already written about repeatedly on this site repeatedly:  that Hezbollah continues to work with Al-Qaeda in yet more terrorist activity–yet another reason why the Obama plan (identical to the previous Bush plan) to recognize Hezbollah as a legitimate political group is an outrage.

Robert Dean Stethem, Murdered by Hezbollah on June 15, 1985, RIP

Good for the U.S. that we finally eliminated this piece of trash, Hamadi, from this earth.

The Stethems tell me that Hamadi’s death on Sunday, Father’s Day, is significant because 25 years ago, on Father’s Day, Navy officials knocked on the Stethems’ door to notify Robert Stethem’s parents that their son was murdered by Hamadi and his fellow Hezbollah terrorists.

Peshawar, Pakistan – A major Lebanese terrorist released by the German government five years ago has been killed in a US drone attack in Pakistan’s tribal region, Pakistani intelligence sources said on Sunday.

Never thought I’d experience an earthquake–however mild–here in the Detroit area.

About a half hour ago, I was sitting at my desk, typing on my computer, and I felt like the room was shaking.  I was wondering:  are they doing work in the building that is that powerful that it makes the building shake?  Could this be a tremor?  Nah, I thought.  These things don’t happen in Detroit.  Then, I thought, maybe it’s my imagination, and I’m dizzy.

Turns out, it was not my imagination.  It was, indeed, an earthquake.  Registered a 5.5.  Whoa.

Damn–one of the last advantages to living in Detroit, now crossed off the list.

There are reports throughout the Islamic world that Israel Defense Forces (IDF) planes landed in Saudi Arabia and unloaded equipment in possible preparation for attack on Iran and its nuclear weapons.  (Read the full details at The JIDF.)

Assuming the reports are true (and they may not be), that’s great, because it shows the world is finally ready to allow the Jews to do the job the rest of the world won’t do–destroy Iran’s nuclear doomsday ambitions and capabilities.  Yes, even the Saudis–through their actions with this–are proving they cannot do the job, but need the Jews to do their dirty work.

But don’t believe the hype that this means any sort of thaw of Islamic world hatred for the Jews and Israel.  It means no such thing. It’s merely a confirmation of what is well-known to anyone who knows anything about the machinations of the Middle East and the ancient rift in Islam.  Sunni Arabs–the Saudis and many other Arab nations–hate Shi’ite Muslims so badly that they are even willing to temporarily, briefly “infect” themselves with Jewish Israeli presence to defeat the Shi’ites.  And as we all know, the Shi’ite world is run and funded from Tehran–whether it’s the Iraqi Sh’ites “free elections” installed–all of whom take their directions from Iran’s ayatollahs, or whether it’s Hezbollah running Lebanon and the Assads in Syria–all of whom get their orders from Iran.  I’ve read plenty of fatwahs over the years from some of the top Sunni clerics, stating that even the animal slaughter for food “by the People of the Book” (the Jews) is far more acceptable to the halal slaughter of Shi’ites.  This isn’t about any sort of warming up to Israel or the Jews–whom they continue to hate just as deeply as ever before.  It’s about defeating the burgeoning and succeeding Shi’ite Revolution.

A lot of critics are panning “Knight And Day,” which debuted in theaters today.  But I found it light, enjoyable, and entertaining.  And that’s saying a lot, considering I dislike both lead actors in the movie–Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz.  Despite his personal politics and bizarre behavior off-screen, Cruise shows, once again, that he truly is a great actor.  He’s that good, even in a plot that has some gaping holes.  Diaz is the usual–not exciting, but workmanlike enough in essentially playing herself.

The story:  Cameron Diaz is a woman headed home for her sister’s wedding.  At the airport, she keeps bumping into a flirty guy (Tom Cruise) and then learns she’s been bumped from her flight.  After fretting about it, she’s allowed on the flight.  But it’s not really a legitimate flight with real passengers.  Instead, it’s a plane flown by CIA agents out to kill rogue CIA agent Cruise, who has a secret battery with him that the government wants.  Cruise kills all of the passengers and crew, lands the plane in a field, and warns Diaz that she’s going to be hounded by government agents.  The next morning, Diaz wakes up at home and all is well.  But not for long.
