Yesterday, I told you about how three Brazilian Jewish teens visiting the Auschwitz concentration camp were kidnapped and held hostage at their Warsaw, Poland hotel by a Kuwaiti Muslim named “Mohammed A.” The 23-year-old Muslim kidnapper claimed he had a bomb.
Well, guess who Islamic terrorist “Mohammed A” is? He’s Mohammed Al-Shaibani, son of Kuwaiti Ambassador to Poland Khalid Al-Shaibani.
Note that Kuwait would not condemn the kidnapping and terrorist threat. So much for the claim that the country only boycotts Israel, not Jews. I guess, technically, it’s true. They don’t boycott Jews–they just kidnap and threaten to blow them up just miles from where Jews were cooked in ovens. Touching.

Just Drunk or a Failed Terrorist Plot?:
Auschwitz Muslim Terrorist is Kuwaiti Ambassador’s Son
The press and the Poles are belittling the incident and pawning it off on a claim that Al-Shaibani was drunk at the time. Sorry, not buying it. Just because he allegedly didn’t live by the letter of Islamic law prohibiting consumption of alcohol doesn’t mean a thing. This was planned and it was deliberate.
Incredibly, Polish authorities released this Islamic terrorist, Al-Shaibani, on bond. And they say he will receive a suspended sentence, meaning he will serve ZERO jail time. Sickening. Yeah, that’ll be a real deterrent to future terrorism in Poland. And a real boon to future Jewish tourism there.
“March of the Living”–an annual Holocaust commemoration tour on which the teens were traveling–brings 10,000 Jews to Poland annually. This slap on the hand by Polish authorities sends a message to Jews–just like in the 1930s and ’40s–that their lives are meaningless.
Why Poles would slap Jews in the face, yet again, despite their tourist dollars, is beyond me. But it tells us something: their centuries-long anti-Semitism isn’t a thing of the past.
Every member of my immediate family–except me and my late father–has gone to Poland on “March of the Living.” But you won’t see me going there. I won’t risk my life to travel to or give a penny to those who think a Muslim plot of kidnapping three Jews and threatening to blow them up is not worthy of any real justice. We already saw that in Poland in the ’30s and ’40s and the centuries prior.
I still have the same questions I had yesterday about this incident, and more of them:
* Who was Mohammed Al-Shaibani working with in this kidnapping plot?
* Since his father is the Kuwaiti Ambassador, he probably wasn’t a hotel guest. Who told him where Jews were staying?
* What were the details of Al-Shaibani’s plan to kidnap Jews?
* How much did the Kuwaiti government and his Kuwaiti Ambassador father know about the plot?
* There are many hotels in Warsaw. How did Al-Shaibani know at which hotel Jews were staying and the location of the Jewish teens’ sixth floor room, where he ambushed and held them hostage?
Clearly, this was not a random, drunken incident. This was planned ahead of time.

Remember Daphna Ziman?
She’s the airhead liberal Jewish rich woman who gave a ton of money to Rev. Eric Lee of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference of Southern California. Then, she was shocked–shocked!–when Rev. Lee, at a ceremony marking her large donation, attacked Jews in a vicious, anti-Semitic, racist, pro-Obama tirade. Some conservatives and Jews heralded her and felt bad for her. But not me.
Well, I called it then, and I’ve been borne out. This liberal idiotette went back for more. Ziman–without Lee taking back any of his anti-Semitic comments or expressing remorse (or even admitting he made the comments, so he’s essentially calling her a liar)–had lunch with Rev. Lee and made nice-nice with him at Ziman’s Beverly Hills mansion. Also there as the “peace broker” was Al Sharpton’s rabbi. Need I say more? Word is that Goebbels was not available. Oh, to be rich and stupid. Tragically stupid.

Al Sharpton’s Rabbi Marc Schneier, Anti-Semite Eric Lee, and Dumb, Botoxified Jewish Liberal Daphna Ziman @ Kumbaya-Palooza ’08
Sadly, Esther Renzer, the International President of the group Stand With Us–which claims to be pro-Israel and philo-Semitic–put together this disgusting love-fest with an avowed anti-Semite and is bragging about it. Would love to see what kind of love-fest she’d have set up in 1938 instead of 2008. Keep that in mind the next time you hear anything from Stand With Us. The group apparently Stands With Enemies and Anti-Semites, not with You. Now we know who the “Us” is.
Yup, Ziman is a likely candidate for “Lunch at Tul-Karem“:

At the end of it all, Daphna Ziman and the Rev. Eric Lee were joking about the good cry they had together, pledging to work together to help children, and hugging each other goodbye Thursday.
The two, who clenched hands at one point during the conversation at Ziman’s Beverly Hills home, had clearly gotten over the controversy that erupted around a speech Lee made at a banquet April 4.
“I believe that the incident that occurred was actually divine intervention,” Ziman said as she sat at a round table with prominent members of the Jewish and African American communities.
Together, she said, “we are asking every religious leader in the country to demand that no racism will be spouted in any place of worship or public place.” [DS: Nice moral equivalency. He shouts an anti-Semitic monologue at her while taking her gazillions. And this is the “agreement” they’ve come to?]
The controversy began when Ziman, a prominent Jewish philanthropist and supporter of Hillary Rodham Clinton, e-mailed eight friends about a banquet hosted by the historically black fraternity Kappa Alpha Psi. She was receiving an award for her work with foster children, many of whom were African American.
She told friends that Lee, the local president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, a civil rights group, got up to speak and said that Jews have made money on blacks in the music business. She quoted him saying that “they are economically enslaving us.”
Ziman’s e-mail made its way to millions of in-boxes. She said she had become more sensitive to anti-Semitism since she heard the anti-Israel comments of the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. [DS: This over-botoxed Jewish airhead never heard anti-Semitism before Wright? Hilarious.]
Lee has said he never made the anti-Semitic statements Ziman attributed to him and apologized for any pain he may have caused. Ziman accepted his apology by e-mail and the two met for the first time Thursday.
The gathering at Ziman’s Tudor-style home started at 11:30 a.m. with Ziman playing a song called “It Just Takes One,” which she had composed for a movie. [DS: What–the “We Are the World” DVD had a scratch? This woman sounds like another wealthy airhead Clintonista botox victim–Denise Rich, who also “composes” songs.] When the singer’s plaintive voice asked, “Why can’t we rise above all the hate?” Ziman and Lee looked at each other. Lee had tears in his eyes. [DS: Awwwww.]
Ziman then invited everyone to eat together, and a rabbi who had marched with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. said a blessing.
“Breaking bread together is very important to Jewish values,” said Roz Rothstein, who had sent Ziman’s e-mail to the 50,000-person mailing list of Stand With Us, an organization that seeks to educate the public about Israel. “If you break bread together, that is a new beginning.” [DS: Thanks, “Rabbi” Rothstein, for the tip. But here’s one for you: Jewish law is quite clear about defeating your enemies, not “breaking bread” with them.]
The meeting brought participants from throughout the country, including Rothstein; Charles Steele Jr., who is the national president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in Atlanta; and Rabbi Marc Schneier of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding in New York. [DS: Schenier is Al “Zionist Interlopers” Sharpton’s friend and “rabbi.” ‘Nuff said.] They took turns speaking soberly as they lunched on goat cheese souffle, omelets and fruit.
They talked about King’s legacy of forgiveness. Lee invited Ziman to speak at his church to recruit African American mentors for her foster children. Ziman invited Lee to a banquet where she was receiving an award for promoting Adoption Day.
“We did not talk about the past because it doesn’t matter,” Lee said after the meeting. [DS: Uh, it DOES matter.]
“I believe we’ve arrived at this place because we are truly well-intentioned people and passionate about justice and passionate about humanity,” Lee said. “If you take well-intentioned people, you can only have a well-intentioned outcome.”
Ziman said she got over any need to feel right about what she heard April 4. “Eric has suffered a great deal,” she said, as workers were laying out tables for a debate she was hosting later that night among the presidential candidates’ representatives. “Hurting people is not one of the things I want to do.”

Here’s a reminder of what Ziman wrote in an e-mail that went all over the world:

After I spoke and thanked the fraternity and their members, Rev. Eric Lee, pres. and CEO of Southern Christian Leadership Conference of greater Los Angeles, was introduced as the key note speaker.
He began his speech by thanking Jesus for Obama, who is going to be the leader of the world. He continued by referring to other leaders Like Dr. King, being that this was the moment of celebrating Dr. King’s spirit on the anniversary of his death, and Malcolm X.
It was right after the mention of Malcolm X that he looked right at me and started talking about the African American children who are suffering because of the JEWS that have featured them as rapists and murderers. He spoke of a Jewish Rabbi, and then corrected himself to say “What other kind of Rabbis are there, but JEWS”. He told how this Rabbi came to him to say that he would like to bring the AA community and the Jewish community together. ” NO, NO, NO,!!!!” he shouted into the crowd, we are not going to come together. “The Jews have made money on us in the music business and we are the entertainers, and they are economically enslaving us.”
He continued as to how now the salvation has come and the gates have open for African Americans to come together behind Barack Obama, because now is the time to show them.(meaning the Jews).
He continued to speak about ‘ White supremacy’ vs the talents and visionaries in the core of African Americans. He demeaned being given freedom, by saying “To what?” to a country that kills women and children.

Suddenly, this airhead Ziman who was shocked–shocked!–that there is this strong anti-Semitism among Black Americans for whom she serves as sugar mama, is willing to just shove all this under the rug for some phony “We are the World/Can’t We all Just Get Along?” moment? Incredible.
Glad she wasn’t around in 1939, though judging from the amount of plastic surgery, I can’t be certain of that fact. Either way, this is proof that, sometimes, excessive botox seeps into the brain and has a very negative effect.
Reader Blanche writes:

I’m sure glad they are ready & willing to continue to accept Daphna the fool’s zillions of $$$.

Reader Alexis writes:

This is a little weird. One word, maybe you heard it wrong. Whole sentences? Is she schizophrenic? Was she hallucinating that he said all these things, that now he says he never said?
Too bad our Jewish millionaires are working to save anti-Semites’ children…while our own are in danger for their lives from Islamists in Israel and all over Europe.
I bet the lunch was good.

Like I said, Lunch in Tul Karem. She’d arrive early for “the meal.”

Remember those 20 million plus illegal aliens roaming free in the great American abyss?
Well, somebody–somebody atop Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)–apparently forgot. She–Julie L. Myers, The ICE Princess–thinks the problem is solved. And now she’s concentrating on the more important issue of that illegal invasion of Argentinian dinosaur egg fossils.
I agree that these dangerous fossils are driving down American wages, taking American jobs, and pose a dangerous terrorist and criminal threat to America. And as far as enforcing Customs laws goes, we all know that returning these ancient eggs to South America is far more important than, say, the Hawala money-laundering of millions to Islamic terrorists going on from Dearbornistan–an investigation that ICE Michigan/Ohio Special Agent in Charge Brian Moskowitz abandoned.

ICE’s Veruca Salt Gets Her Tax-Funded Golden Ticket
to Vacay in South America
(Julie Myers Diet Coke by David Lunde/Lundesigns)

Coins for Saudis, Dinosaur Eggs for Chi-Coms, Argentines:
Your ICE Tax Dollars At Work
Oh, and they enable her an excuse to travel to South America very luxuriously on your dime. Nice work if you can get it . . . and are an expert in Blackface “originality”:

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina – A senior U.S. Homeland Security official is in Argentina to discuss money laundering, human trafficking – and dinosaur eggs.
Julie L. Myers plans to hand over to Argentina’s government a cache of more than 3,675 kilograms of fossils seized two years ago at a gem and mineral show in Tucson, Arizona.
American authorities say the fossils – including dinosaur eggs, shell fragments, petrified pine cones and fossilized crabs – were illegally removed from Argentina and offered for sale in the United States.
Experts believe the fossils date from an era between 180 million and 250 million years ago.
Details of a midweek, handover ceremony are still being worked out, with plans to fly the fossils to Argentina shortly.
Myers then plans to visit Uruguay and Brazil.

The egg fossils have been sitting around, collecting dust in the ICE evidence room for over two years. But, suddenly, they are an important cause for a press conference . . . and an “urgent,” well-appointed trip to South America.
Myers could hand over the goods to the Argentinian Ambassador in Washington, instead of wasting your money. That’s what she did when she visited her Islamist friends at the Saudi Embassy to give them coins an American diver legally found in disputed waters and which were from around the 13th Century, prior to the existence of Saudi Arabia. And she didn’t travel to China when she returned fossil eggs to the Chi-Coms.
But giving up an opportunity for you to fund her wasteful, useless South American odyssey would be no fun for this real-life Veruca Salt riding her endless tax-funded golden ticket. Moreover, that would signal that she actually meant what she said when she told U.S. Senators her key qualification to head ICE was her commitment to “financial accountability.”
And we can’t have her actually telling the truth. Remember that “bronzer” she “thought” an agent was wearing?
Look for the Argentinians to give The ICE Princess a queen’s supply of Diet Coke. And for you to be paying a huge tab for the Myers-Wood family vacation in South America. I can just hear “The Girl From Ipanema” muzak playing in the background, while she drinks a margarita.
Heckuva job, Julie.

Over the last two days, Ali Jawad–an open supporter of Hezbollah and a federally convicted insurance defrauder–has been holding press conferences demanding that John McCain apologize to him and invite him back to his campaign. He claims that everything I wrote about him isn’t true, but won’t refute a single thing I’ve written because it’s all true. I’m writing a longer response to his hilarious, sudden demands, which he waited on for two weeks and is doing now to embarrass and hurt John McCain. But for now, I’m reposting what I wrote last week about who Ali Jawad is. Note that I haven’t retracted or changed a single word because it’s all true, and you need to know about this chutzpah-dik man with no shame.

EXCLUSIVE: Who is Ali Jawad?: McCain Campaign Dumps Key Hezbollah Agent, Convicted Insurance Defrauder; Feds, MI GOP Should Follow Suit
By Debbie Schlussel
Over the past week, I spent far less time writing for this website than planned. Instead, I spent hours on the phone with John McCain staffers and key supporters in Michigan to right a mistake.
And, unlike the Barack Obama who clings to anti-Semites and terrorism supporters, John McCain did the right thing: He dumped Ali Jawad–an open Hezbollah supporter and key agent of the terrorist group in the Detroit area. Jawad is also a federal insurance fraud convict.

On Friday, I received this written confirmation that Jawad was cut:

From: Danny Diaz – Communications
Date: Fri, Apr 25, 2008 at 6:14 PM
Subject: RNC Response
To: writedebbie@gmail.com
Ali Jawad is no longer participating in efforts – whether fundraising or otherwise – on behalf of McCain Victory 2008.
-Danny Diaz, RNC Spokesperson
Danny Diaz
Republican National Committee (RNC)

(Emphasis added.)

Ali Jawad (Standing), Treasury Dept. Terrorism Official Michael Rosen (to Jawad’s Right), Michigan FBI Special Agent in Charge Andrew Arena (Smiling, to Rosen’s Right)

“Former” Islamic Terrorist Imad Hamad, Ali Jawad, Michigan/Ohio ICE Special Agent in Charge Brian Moskowitz, Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for ICE Julie L. Myers, Abed “Aboudi” Bazzi (Brother of Hezbo-Allied Member of Lebanese Parliament Ali Bazzi)
I congratulate John McCain and his campaign because they proved that McCain truly is a maverick and independent of the Republican establishment who brought Mr. Jawad to his campaign. McCain’s Michigan and national staff have shown courage in bucking what is a sad trend on the part of the Michigan Republican Party: going for pro-Hezbollah Shiite cash and support. Michigan GOPers took lots of money from Jawad.
Last week, several high-dollar Michigan Republican donors received an invitation to a May 6th $2,300 per head campaign fundraiser. Both John McCain and Mitt Romney are scheduled to attend. The donors noticed the name, “Ali Jawad,” prominently listed on the Finance Committee and contacted me, knowing I had mentioned and written about him in the past.
Here are the specifics on Ali Jawad:
Ali Jawad and his company, Armada Oil, were convicted of insurance and mail fraud in federal court and ordered to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in restitution and fines. Michael Mustapha Makki, Jawad’s co-defendant–also convicted–in the case, USA v. Makki et al, is a member of the Makki family, many members of which were convicted of cigarette smuggling for Hezbollah.
Several sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity confirm that Jawad sold cigarettes obtained from out of state and avoided paying the exorbitant Michigan cigarette tax he collected, pursuant to the scam. Although key members of law enforcement were aware of this, they were ordered by late, then-Dearborn Mayor Michael Guido not to pursue the matter and to call off their investigation. Mr. Jawad was a major donor to Guido, as was indicted Hezbollah financier and fugitive, Talal Chahine. In 2003, Jawad–originally from the Hezbollah stronghold of Nabatiya–and Chahine, together, accompanied Mayor Guido on a trip to Lebanon, for which they raised thousands of dollars. They visited the Hezbollah-controlled cities of Bint Jbeil and Qana.
Jawad is known as one of the most important agents of Hezbollah in the U.S. He is related (through his brother’s marriage into the Safieddine family) to Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah and the man Iran has designated as Nasrallah’s heir apparent, Hachem Safieddine (currently a member of the 7-member Hezbollah ruling council, the Shurah Al-Karar). The Jawad and Safieddine families have many business dealings together. Both Ali Jawad and the Safieddines own many gas stations throughout the Detroit area. Armada Oil–of which Jawad is CEO–also distributes gas to gas stations throughout the Detroit area.
Jawad isn’t shy about his support for Hezbollah. He defended Ali and Mohamed “Mike” Boumelhem, when they were caught by U.S. Customs agents trying to smuggle weapons to Canada and ultimately to Hezbollah. And he told The Detroit News that the terrorist group, which murdered more Americans than any other besides Al-Qaeda, isn’t a terrorist group:

Killing innocent people — we reject that. Hezbollah does not fit this category. It has protected its people.

Translation: The hundreds of Americans and Jews Hezbollah murdered are not “innocent people.” Hezbollah protects Shi’ite Muslims, and they’re the only ones worth protecting.
In May 2003, Jawad again traveled to Lebanon–this time, with his close friend, FBI award revokee and “former” Islamic terrorist Imad Hamad, a man who engaged in marriage fraud. Also with them was Muthanna Al-Hanooti, a Ba’ath Party member recently indicted for being a Saddam Hussein spy. Hanooti was a key official of LIFE for Relief and Development, an Al-Qaeda and HAMAS charity raided by the FBI and the U.S. Army.
During that trip, they met with Nabih Berri, head of the Hezbollah-backed Shi’ite Amal militia, who also heads the Lebanese Parliament. Berry was Hezbollah’s negotiator for the Hezbollah hijacking of TWA Flight 847 in 1985, during which Navy diver Robert Dean Stethem was trampled to death. Federal agents have long told me that they believe Hamad’s annual trips to Lebanon with these malefactors–often including visits to Bashar Assad of Syria–are terror-related trips with money-laundering as a likely purpose.
The alleged purpose of the May 2003 trip was to introduce Berri and other Hezbollah members of the Lebanese parliament to Bachar Sbeiti Kachkouche, then a 3-year-old Lebanese Canadian “child prodigy,” who lived in Windsor, Canada, just over the border from Detroit. Hamad and company were purportedly raising money for Kachkouche, allegedly so he could attend Roeper, an expensive Detroit-area private school, college, and ultimately medical school. When you think about it, this is a brilliant scheme. No-one is looking at donations allegedly for the schooling of a gifted and talented toddler, nor at the ultimate destination of the money. And the toddler then gets to traverse the international borders daily. Do you think they’d search this cute, smiling boy or the vehicle in which he was riding on a daily basis? Detroit FBI agents told me they notified Canadian authorities about this scheme.
Roeper School would not confirm whether Bachar Sbeiti is currently or has ever been a student, or whether he is or was ever a scholarship recipient from the school, which would negate the need for private fundraising. Alleged “scholarship” money for Sbeiti was being raised by LIFE for Relief and Development, which was raided by FBI agents in the Detroit-area and the U.S. Army in Iraq. LIFE is believed to fund Al-Qaeda and was openly funding HAMAS’ Jordanian operation for several years. Muthanna Al-Hanooti, a top LIFE official was recently indicted as a Saddam spy, and the charity’s founder was identified as an agent of the Muslim Brotherhood in America. Alleged “scholarship” money for Sbeiti was also being raised by Hamad’s ADC (American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee). “Donors” were instructed to make checks payable directly to LIFE and ADC. An examination of the federal tax filings for both organizations indicates no outlays for Sbeiti’s education or any indication of the ultimate use of monies raised in Sbeiti’s name.
But, despite all this, Ali Jawad remains “untouchable,” say concerned citizens.
That might have something to do with the tight relationship both Jawad and his friend, the “former” Islamic terrorist Hamad, have with key feds. The photo above shows Ali Jawad at a recent banquet held by Hamad and a Nabih Ayad, a lawyer for Islamic terrorists. Jawad is shown sitting at the head table next to Michael Rosen, a lawyer and policy advisor with the U.S. Office of Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes of the U.S. Treasury Department. To Rosen’s right, the man who is laughing is Michigan FBI Special Agent in Charge Andrew Arena. Previous to his Michigan assignment, Arena was in charge of Counterterrorism for the New York FBI and told the Christian Science Monitor that, in that capacity, his job was to set the public–and agents–straight, after a poll showed 50% of Americans had a negative view of Islam.
Also sitting at the table and shown in the next picture with Jawad and Hamad, are Assistant Secretary for Homeland Security for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Julie L. Myers and Michigan/Ohio ICE Special Agent in Charge Brian Moskowitz. On the far right of the photo, next to Myers, is Abed “Aboudi” Bazzi, a close friend of Jawad. Bazzi is the brother of Ali Bazzi, a Hezbollah-allied Member of the Lebanese Parliament, who is from the Shi’ite Amal militia.
Oh, the company they keep.
Fortunately, John McCain is not also keeping company with Ali Jawad. Unlike these feds, he did the right thing. But several Michigan Republicans haven’t.
The list of Michigan Republicans who’ve taken money from Ali Jawad includes Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox, Gubernatorial candidate Dick DeVos, Congresswoman Candice Miller, and Congressman Joe Knollenberg a/k/a “Hezbollah Joe” (who sent $86 million in US money back to Jawad’s Hezbo buddies in South Lebanon, to return the favor), U.S. Senator Spencer Abraham (who sponsored the $86 Mill Hezbo giveaway with Knollenberg), Michigan House Republican Campaign Committee, Michigan Supreme Court Justice Cliff Taylor, and former State Rep. and failed Supreme Court nominee Marc Shulman.
On the Democratic side, Jawad gave to reliable pan-Islamist Congressmen John Conyers, David Bonior, John Dingell, and Cynthia McKinney. But as you can see, he’s given primarily to Michigan Republicans. And it’s a trend Michigan Republican Chair Saul Anuzis shows no willingness to stop. After I pointed out that he tried to recruit pro-Hezbollah Shi’ite Nasser Beydoun to run in 2002 as a Republican for Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat, I asked Anuzis whether he would decline in the future to “outreach” to Shi’ite Muslims who support Hezbollah. He would only answer that he would appeal to whomever will vote Republican. And campaign finance reports show he’s not turning away this poisonous money, either.
Other than that, Jawad is a major donor to the Dearborn-based, Islamist-dominated Arab American Political Action Committee (AAPAC), run by Osama Siblani–who was identified in Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Seyassah as an agent of Hezbollah–and Abed Hammoud. Both have compared Israel to Nazis and openly praised “the Hezbollah martyrs” as “freedom fighters.” Imad Hamad is also active with the group, as is Nael AbuNab, who was convicted of several felonies for selling cars with fraudulent speedometers. AAPAC’s Secretary, Lola Elzein, was removed after I sent a demand letter to Siblani, noting Elzein’s multiple, written, obscene, Holocaust-denial death, rape, and torture threats to me, my parents, and grandparents.
So, how did Jawad formerly come to be one of six members of John McCain’s Michigan campaign finance committee in the first place? Neither the McCain campaign nor the RNC is saying. Federal campaign finance reports show he hasn’t donated a penny to the McCain. Privately, though, some people listed on the invitation are saying Jawad “came over from the Romney campaign.” This is interesting, since Jawad also hasn’t donated a penny to Mitt Romney, either. Perhaps he was picked because he’s a Muslim name.
Or perhaps he was tapped because he was a major donor to Michigan Attorney General Cox. Cox was McCain’s Michigan campaign chairman, but resigned last summer, when it looked like McCain’s campaign wasn’t going to succeed. Now that McCain is the presumptive nominee, though, fair-weather friend Cox is back on board and has his name on the invitation. As a Jawad donee, Cox–who is running for Michigan Governor–played both sides of the war on terrorism.
After he appeared and spoke at a pro-Israel rally, during the 2006 war with Hezbollah, Cox then campaigned at the dinner of the extremist, openly pro-Hezbollah/HAMAS Council of Islamic Organizations of Michigan dinner. And he visited the offices of Jawad’s friend Imad Hamad–the openly pro-Hezbollah/HAMAS Michigan ADC–asking what he could do for them. That’s not to mention that he lied about and refused to pursue millions of dollars in Medicaid fraud by pregnant foreign alien Muslims perpetrated by the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services (ACCESS).
Cox waited for the last of the Medicaid defrauders to leave the country before he filed a few toothless, token warrants for their arrest, sending out press releases and going on national TV to brag about it. When Cox was contacted by Michigan Republican legislators, upon ACCESS chief Ismael Ahmed‘s nomination to head the Michigan Department of Human Sevices (overseeing billions in Medicaid), Cox declined to give them any information and was suddenly mum, unlike his effusive “O’Reilly Factor” appearance regarding the topic.
And finally, there is Jim Nicholson, a millionaire Michigan businessman and Michigan Finance Chairman of the McCain campaign. Jawad donated heavily to liberal Republican Nicholson’s failed 1996 U.S. Senate bid, and Nicholson’s name appears atop the McCain invitation.
Regardless of how Ali Jawad came to the John McCain campaign, John McCain and his people did the right thing and immediately dumped this malefactor, once they learned who he is. When will the feds and the Michigan Republican Party do the same?
And when will Barack Obama follow suit by dumping his many anti-Semitic, anti-Israel foreign policy advisors and supporters?
We know who the real counterterrorism candidate is. And that’s why I plan to vote for John McCain. He won’t be bought by campaign money. And, in this case, he’s saying no to the forces of political correctness and Islamofascism.

In advance of Tuesday’s Martyr’s Day in Lebanon, Hezbollah and pro-Hezbollah media sources are claiming that an elite Israeli unit attempted to assassinate Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah in Al-Dahia Al Jounoubiah, the Southern sector of Beirut, over the weekend, according to Arabic media–Hezbo media site Wa’ed (“Promise”), Cham Press of Syria, and the anti-Israel Filkka site (sadly, based in Israel, and to which I will not link). And they claim that the Israelis failed.
But my friends in Mid-Eastern intelligence say not necessarily to believe these reports and that they are Hezbollah propaganda. They say that if Israel truly had Nasrallah in their sites, he’d be dead. And I agree.

Nice Lipstick: Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah
Hezbollah’s Girlie-Man Terrorist Leader, Lives for Another Day
(Sheikh–or, rather Sheikha–Nasrallah Artwork by David Lunde)
So why would Hezbollah make this up? To turn the rest of the Lebanese people against the government of the country and to help Hezbollah continue and complete its takeover of the country. Hezbollah and its allied media claim the Lebanese government, under Fouad Siniora, was working with Israel to help identify the whereabouts and target Nasrallah. The Lebanese government does not help the Israelis.
Tuesday is Martyr’s Day in Lebanon. Although it is meant to remember the hanging of Lebanese nationalists by the Ottomans in Beirut on May 6, 1916, Hezbollah and other allied Lebanese Muslim terrorist organizations view the day as an opportunity to celebrate terrorism as a noble cause. And they are doing everything they can to make themselves martyrs and the honored ones on Tuesday. This story goes in that vein.
Even if the Israelis had, indeed, targeted, and succeeded in assassinating Nasrallah–which would have been a huge victory–many Arabic media reports say that Iran has already picked the new leader of Hezbollah, in the event of Nasrallah’s demise and/or removal.

Hachem Safieddine, Heir Apparent/Lookalike/1st Cousin to Hezbo’s Nasrallah
As I noted, last week, on this site, Sayyed Hachem Safieddine, Nasrallah’s first cousin (their mothers are sisters)–who sits on Hezbollah’s seven-member ruling council, the Shurah Al-Karar–has been chosen by Iran as Nasrallah’s heir apparent. As you will note, the two look very much alike.
As I also noted, Mr. Safieddine’s relatives, the Safieddine family of Dearbornistan (which owns many Detroit area gas stations), are related to recently deposed John McCain campaign finance committee member Ali Jawad. Jawad’s brother is married into the Safieddine family, to which he is related.
In related news, over the weekend, Lebanese Druze leader Walid Jumblatt called for a ban on all flights from Iran, saying that they were likely carrying arms and cash to Hezbollah. He noted that the head of airport security, General Wafik Shqier, was linked to Hezbollah and showed security communications from Lebanese government officials citing surveillance cameras near the airport used by Hezbollah to look for arriving foreign dignitaries to kidnap.
I believe that ultimately–and soon–Israel will, indeed, be successful in sending Mr. Nasrallah to Jehenim (no, that’s not paradise and the 72 re-virginized; it’s hell). But he will be immediately replaced by a man equally as vicious, bloodthirsty, and hateful.
Lebanon is an extremist Shi’ite cesspool that Israel and America allowed to fester and metastasize, instead of remaining there (both countries abruptly left–and Hezbollah took over the void) and obliterating Hezbollah once and for all in the bloody, nasty way that was called for.
When Nasrallah is ultimately assassinated, it will be a case of one down, many millions more to go. . . just like with Bin Laden (if we ever catch him).

More evidence that Europe is jihadist-occupied territory . . . all of Europe. From one Holocaust to the next. Oh and by the way, the guy, Mohammad, was just drunk, so he really didn’t mean anything by it:

A man claiming he had a bomb held three Jewish teenagers captive briefly Monday in their hotel room in Warsaw, where they were staying for Holocaust commemoration ceremonies, police said.
The 23-year-old man identified only as Mohammad A. pulled the three Brazilian youths into a sixth-floor room of Warsaw’s Holiday Inn after 9 a.m., said police spokesman Mariusz Sokolowski.
Police stormed the room just before 10 a.m. and took the suspect into custody without incident, Sokolowski said. None of the captives was harmed, and police found no explosives.

Just Drunk?: The New Nazis Come to Auschwitz

It was not immediately clear what the suspect sought, but David Peleg, Israel’s ambassador to Poland, said he had been informed the man was intoxicated.
“As far as we know at this stage … a man was behaving wildly on the ground floor of the Holiday Inn hotel in central Warsaw; he was apparently drunk,” Peleg told Israel Radio. “He took refuge in one of the rooms where there were three Brazilian Jewish youths, who had been taking part in The March of The Living” commemoration at the former Auschwitz death camp. . . .
A bartender at the Holiday Inn said the suspect had a beer in the bar in the morning but had no money to pay for the drink, and someone else covered the 15 zlotys — $7 — cost. The bartender told The Associated Press the man said he was from Kuwait.
Sokolowski confirmed that the suspect was not from Poland, but did not have any other details.
Warsaw police spokesman Marcin Szyndler said the teenagers did not need medical care and were taken to a police station for questioning about the incident.
“It all did not take long, probably only minutes,” Szyndler told The Associated Press. “Luckily, it ended only with threats.” . . .
Around 10,000 people from around the world, most of them Jewish, took part in the March of the Living on Thursday, an annual event at the former Nazi death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau that honors the memory of some 6 million Jews who perished in the Holocaust.

Everyone in my family, except me, has gone on March of the Living. It’s known to be primarily kids who participate. So, what was a Muslim from Kuwait doing near Auschwitz at the same time March of the Living was being held, right on Holocaust Remembrance Day? Coincidence? Drunken accident?
Riiiiight.
Like I said, from one Holocaust to the next. In this next one, though, they aren’t just coming for Jews, Gypsies, gays, and the handicapped.
They’re coming for us all.
The new Nazis just made their entrance at Auschwitz.

Taco Bell had better watch out for the food police.
The fast food chain is offering the “Big Bell Box Meal” for $4.99. For that, you get a Bacon Club Chalupa, Beef Crunchy Taco, Bean Burrito, Cinnamon Twists, and a large drink. “Eat Like a Man,” is the slogan for the new meal.
But “whine like a liberal statist” might be another suitable slogan. That’s because every time a fast food restaurant comes out with a supersized economical offering like this, the PC food police come out in full force, with their calorie scales and fat calipers.

Big Bell Box Meal: If Only It Were Kosher . . .
We haven’t heard from the Center for the Study of Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) in a while, and these food geeks are dying for an opportunity like this to speak out on the dangers of food and eating to human survival.
And then there’s Morgan Spurlock. With his “Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?” outbombing all the IEDs in Iraq and only earning about $300,000 in its first two weeks, he might be tempted to try to lie about the fast food chain like he did about McDonald’s.
The fact is, despite the whining by upper middle-class food nannies, Americans like these high calorie meals. That’s why fast food chains keep offering them up.
I’m not saying obesity isn’t a problem in America. It is, and it’s growing and, er . . . expanding. But food offerings like the Big Bell Box Meal aren’t what makes Americans fat. Laziness and lack of discipline is. No-one’s putting a gun to Taco Bell’s head to offer these meals. Fast food chains offer these supersized meals as a convenience and way to offer up an economically sound big meal in an economically tough time.
The marketplace works. Leave it to the food police to whine and try to stop it.
But Taco Bell makes clear that this is “a meal that’s made for men,” not for Spurlock.

Perhaps Juan Aguilar has finally come to the attention of blackface expert and Immigration and Customs Enforcement chieftess Julie L. Myers a/k/a “The ICE Princess.”
The 44-year-old Aguilar was convicted in Sheboygan, Wisconsin of having sex with a mentally diasbled teenager, who has the mental capacity of a third- or fourth-grader. We have a word for that: rape.
Remember, while many illegal aliens are here just to work illegally and take American jobs and lower wages in the process, there are plenty of others who are just as bad as Senor Aguilar . . . and plenty more who are worse.

This is one of those rare cases where “Let Sleeping Dogs Lie” isn’t just a figure of speech.
In this case, the female dog who was sleeping around and won’t stop talking about with whom she allegedly slept, has the surname of Walters, the first name of Barbara. And she has the very sad, insatiable need at her twilight age of 78 to get more attention.
Walters, in a bid to sell her new 612-page book, “Audition,” is pimping out former U.S. Senator Ed Brooke . . . telling the world that she had a long-term sexual affair with him, while he was married to another woman.

Barbara Walters And the Euthanasia of Decency
But the man she’s throwing under the bus is 88 years old. He only recently fought off breast cancer and had a mastectomy. He is on the edge of his grave and certainly toward the end of his life. Why is she doing this now . . . or ever? Why is she doing this, other than to sell books and earn for her publishers the $4 million advance she received for this $30 tome of drivel?
And why does a woman, who’s made millions each year and is in the wealthiest 1% of Americans, need to ruin this man’s life at the end of it–just to sell books and make a few more dollars she doesn’t need? Are the millions not enough? Are her inane celeb-filled specials and daily stupid daytime yenta-fest on ABC not enough?
Apparently.
Edward Brooke is a private citizen who has been out of politics and public life for three decades. He has three children and countless grandchildren. They are the ones who will be hurt and embarrassed by Walters’ unnecessary TMI (Too Much Information) revelations. The only ones who will benefit from this gossip are Walters, her publisher, and her book agent.
This happened over three decades ago. Why bring it up now?
Other than gossip and selling books, it also appears that Walters wants to show us how “hip” she was because she slept with a Black man. But it doesn’t show us her hipness or racial diversity of bed partners. Instead, it shows us what bad taste and poor judgment of character Brooke had because he made the huge mistake of sleeping with this yenta with extremely loose lips and zero sense of decency.
These days, interracial relationships aren’t a big deal, and we really don’t care about the “implications” the revelation might have had then for their respective careers. Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton, Roxie Roker (Helen Willis of the interracial couple on “The Jeffersons”) and Sy Kravitz (parents of Lenny Kravitz), and a host of others had relationships. But they didn’t pimp each other out for a few million dollars the way Walters has.
Brooke is a fiercely private man. After a divorce in 1978, he publicly decried his dirty laundry being aired in public. Surely, Walters knows that. You’d think that after recently battling serious cancer and moving on from Walters and public life for over three decades, Brooke would enjoy a right to privacy and a right to live his last years in peace. But those two things are now null and void because Barbara Walters, yet again, is showing the world her vulgar personality, he utter lack of class and dignity, and–frankly–her despair that she and the details of her life are no longer important, nor are they interesting.
So, to make them seem interesting, to sell books, Walters is provocatively dishing on this poor octegenarian/soon-to-be-nonagenarian on–where else?–“The Oprah Winfrey Show” (airing Tuesday). It’s sickening. One woman of questionable high regard ruining a man’s life on the salacious, patronizing show of another woman of even more questionable high regard. This is the double-team nightmare no red-blooded American male ever fantasized about, surely not the classy Ed Brooke.
Walters writes that if her father and sister were still alive, she couldn’t have written the book: “It’d be too painful for them, too personal.” How exactly does she think it is for Brooke, who is very much alive? Walters writes that she was “embarrassed” and “ashamed” of her mentally-disabled sister. It should have been vice versa.
In news reports of Walters’ revelations, Brooke is being called “the Barack Obama of that day.” Puh-leeze. Obama doesn’t even come close. The only thing they share is skin color. Brooke was a class act–a brilliant liberal Republican whose foreign policy positions, unlike Obama’s, were actually pro-American. He didn’t hang out with people who bomb the Pentagon and the Capitol, and he didn’t hang with supporters of Islamic terrorism or Nation of Islam loons. Or preachers who print the HAMAS charter and hang with Farrakhan and Qaddafi. Unlike Obama, Brooke is a man I’d gladly have voted into the White House.
And for that–and sleeping with a tasteless big-mouth, long past her expiration date–he must now pay.
While the thrice-divorced Walters may think she’s revealing something here, the only thing revealed is solely about Walters: that she was a skank before the slang term was born, that she continues to have no class, and that the level of respect and gushing traditionally showered upon her is vastly over-rated and always has been. Nothing new in any of these revelations.
I’ve never understood the conventional torrent of respect showered on this woman by the world that calls her “a great journalist.” This is journalism? We’re told she “paved the way.” As far as I can tell, yes, she did pave the way for journalists with thick Boston accents and heavy lisps, all one of them. For the rest of us, she paved nothing but Monica Lewinsky interviews and stupid questions about trees. Well, she’s tight-lipped about at least one thing: We don’t yet know what kind of tree Senator Brooke would have aspired to. Thank Heaven for small favors from this extremely selfish woman.
“Don’t kiss and tell” is sage advice, clearly never taught to Ms. Walters. What a shame that in all those hours in “The View” dressing room–while a skilled hairdresser manicly teases the seven hairs left into a faux mass of volume atop her still-scheming scalp–no-one thought to teach Walters that a woman of any substance never tells.
Yes, “never kiss and tell” would have been great advice for Walters. But even more sage advice for prominent men in America would have been, “Don’t sleep with Barbara Walters.”
At this stage of the game–and, likely, many decades before it–that’s a warning most straight American men with eyesight don’t need to hear, anyway.
Most of them, except, sadly, then-Senator Brooke.
At age 78, Barbara Walters has shown us that she’s shown common sense and dignity the door.
If only she’d gone quietly into the good night. But since she won’t–and she’s trying to take down a man who deserves to be left alone–it’s just time, well past time, for her to go.
Her decency–if she ever had a shred of it–already left long ago.

Talk about chutzpah.
Nada Nadim Prouty–the Hezbollah spy who infiltrated the FBI and the CIA, the one about whom I’m NOT allowed to write in the Detroit Free Press–is seeking to do less than the paltry, slap-on-the-hand 6-12 months jailtime the government is seeking. Meanwhile, Jonathan Pollard has rotted in jail for over two decades and is scheduled to stay there for life.
And GET THIS!–The 32-page brief filed by this Hezbollah spy skank cites ME as the reason she should get less time (see page 23, footnotes). Un-fricking-believable.

Nada Nadim Al-Aouar Deladurantaye Valley Prouty: Hezbo Spy Cites Schlussel in Dumb Brief Asking for Less Jailtime
So, what do I have to do with Prouty’s claim that she should get less time? Well, her lawyer claims I’ve “unfairly” accused her of being a Hezbollah spy, a/k/a “Jihad Jane,” in a New York Post column, last year. Because spying on your computer for Hezbollah’s top U.S. financier does not make you a Hezbo spy, I suppose. And, they assert, therefore, Prouty should get a “lighter” sentence.
PUH-LEEZE. This is pathetic. A woman who spied for Hezbollah, who infiltrated the FBI and the CIA at its highest levels of counterterrorist operations, relies on a headline in a column I wrote as an excuse that she should have to serve the absurdly minute jail sentence she’s already getting?
Welcome to America. That this theatrics goes on, is why we’re losing the war on terror.
Well, at least there is freedom for Prouty to express herself as she wishes. She–a spy, a traitor, and an admitted multiple-felon–can cite me in her ludicrous brief.
But I can’t cite her paltry sentence in a lousy Detroit Free Press op-ed piece.
Again, Welcome to America.
Nauseating.

NEFA has a cornucopia of interesting docs detailing the operations in which Prouty was involved and all the top feds who were fooled by her.
