As everyone must know, today is the anniversary of the Muslim jihadist attacks on New York and Washington DC, and the fight back by ordinary Americans ending in Shanksville, PA.
It was Todd Beamer who said "Let's Roll", a mantra taken up by Americans after the attacks.
Unfortunately, in the ten years since our united effort to beat back Islamic terrorists has turned into "Let's Roll Over."
The current Department of Homeland Security has abdicated is job to protect our borders and eject illegal aliens. Furthermore, DHS believes that Christian Americans are the greatest terrorist threat in the United States -- an opinion unfounded in fact or experience.
The current President is attending a 9/11 healing and forgiveness observance where Christians are not welcome.
Travelling by air in the United States as a Christian American means being treated like a terrorist suspect, and being forced to choose between a virtual strip search or an actual molesting.
Everyone says about September 11 - "Never Forget." What is it about September 11th should we remember?
All the hijackers were Muslim men between the ages of 18 and 40.
All the hijackers were in the United States on lawfully obtained visas.
The FBI and the CIA could not communicate with each other about each bureau's suspensions regarding these Muslims by a policy set up by Clinton Administration hack named Jamie Gorelick, who inexplicably took a position on the 9-11 Commission. Her 1995 memo, entitled "Instructions on Separation of Certain Foreign Counterintelligence and Criminal Investigations" stated explicitly that they would "go beyond what is legally required, [to] prevent any risk of creating an unwarranted appearance that FISA is being used to avoid procedural safeguards which would apply in a criminal investigation. (Gorelick was also appointed vice Chairman of Fannie Mae during the Enron-like accounting era, helping to bring the United States' credit lending system to a near-halt).
All the hijackers could readily point to verse after verse in the Koran supporting the attack on the United States.
The enemies are jihadists and politicians who refuse to see the danger Islam poses to the West.
These are the things I remember on this September 11th. We would all do well to remember this.

Obama Is Destroying US Intelligence Sharing
B. Hussein Obama forced retired Admiral Dennis Blair to resign the office of Director of National Intelligence. The mainstream media spin will be that Blair never had the support of the White House, fought unnecessary and unpopular turf wars, appointed the wrong people, and had to take the fall for recent intelligence failures.
If I have learned anything in my years walking this earth, the mainstream media will have it wrong. This is assuredly NOT a case of Admiral Blair "walking the plank" for intelligence failures during his tenure.
Maybe this is a case of removing an unpopular DNI. And maybe this is a case of the President of the United States removing a watchdog from the warehouse so the criminals will have an easier time of it.
I believe it likely that Obama insider and White House operative John O. Brennan, not retired General and current Pentagon intel chief Jim Clapper, will be named the new Director of National Intelligence. Liberals opposed John Brennan for the top spot at the CIA early on in the Obama tenure. Watch as liberals wilt in the face of Obama/Brennan now.
The Director of National Intelligence, a position few people know about, is actually the new head of the US Central Intelligence operation - boss of the CIA. I have a long job description of the Director of National Intelligence at the bottom of this post. Suffice to say, his job is to act as the gathering point for all US intelligence, and provide the methods for effective sharing of intelligence between US intelligence agencies so these agencies are not “stove piped” and miss seeing the larger intelligence picture.
Now, it has happened since the ascension of the Obama regime, that the Department of Justice, including the FBI, is no longer sharing intelligence information of any sort with the United States Military intelligence apparatus. The Department of Justice is headed by the Attorney General, and the Attorney General (both by his own authority and upon the instruction of the President) has the ability to veto the intelligence sharing rules promulgated by the Director of National Intelligence.
The Attorney General is Eric Holder. Eric Holder and Department of Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano, along with B. Hussein Obama, are not concerned with protecting the homeland from foreign invasion. This much is crystal clear. Janet Napolitano was the prior governor of Arizona who failed to stem the tide of illegal immigrants in Arizona, directly leading to recent Arizona laws designed to make the state safe again. The same Janet Napolitano that said she would never have signed the new Arizona law if she were still governor. The same Janet Napolitano that issued a Homeland Security warning upon taking office warning US law enforcement against the threat of “right wing extremists.” Not worried about al Qaeda, worried about the Tea Party.
This is the same Eric Holder that made a huge deal about arresting a “right-wing militia” group in Hutaree (later discovered to be composed of registered Democrats). Even the FBI case against the Hutaree group is falling apart. Even U.S. District Judge Victoria A. Roberts exclaimed in a pre-trial hearing “I share the frustration of the defense … with all of the responses that are coming from this witness [FBI Lead Agent Leslie Larsen] that she doesn’t know anything.” Judge Roberts release the group on bail, ruling that they “do not pose a threat to the community.”
If I were to speculate, I would suspect that Dennis Blair was pushing for complete sharing of the intelligence gathered by the Intelligence Community among the entire Intelligence Community. I would additionally speculate that Eric Holder, either of his own directive or under the direction of B. Hussein Obama, overruled Dennis Blair and determined to keep the Department of Justice intelligence information completely away from the U.S. military intelligence services. I would suspect that this caused friction between Blair and the White House, and lead directly to the sacking of Blair. And, I would suspect that the FBI does not want the military to see its intelligence gathering because it is focused on US citizens who oppose the policies of the Administration in an attempt to paint them as right-wing militia members, and that some of these folks are or are close to people in the military.
If my speculation is correct, it means the FBI is stove piping their intelligence information, whether it pertains to US citizens or foreign nationals with ties to overseas terrorists, because they wish to mask their politically motivated investigations from the larger intelligence community.
The stove piping of intelligence information is the pre-9/11 mindset, and directly lead to the intelligence gaps that made the 9/11 attacks successful. This stove piping runs directly against the purpose of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Protection Act of 2004. Recall the report of the post-9/11 National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States:
"A "smart" government would integrate all sources of information to see the enemy as a whole. Integrated all-source analysis should also inform and shape strategies to collect more intelligence."
When the Department of Justice, which includes the FBI, withholds its intelligence from other members of the Intelligence Community, it is the opposite of “smart” government. Of course, that has been the hallmark of the Obama regime.
What follows is the job description of the Director of National Intelligence. You can see how the Attorney General has the Director in a political headlock:
Subject to the authority, direction, and control of the President, the Director of National Intelligence (Director) shall serve as the head of the Intelligence Community, act as the principal adviser to the President, to the NSC, and to the Homeland Security Council for intelligence matters related to national security, and shall oversee and direct the implementation of the National Intelligence Program. The Director will lead a unified, coordinated, and effective intelligence effort. Except as otherwise directed by the President or prohibited by law, the Director shall:
A. have access to all information and intelligence. For the purpose of access to and sharing of information and intelligence, the Director: (1) will determine that intelligence, regardless of the source from which derived and including information gathered within or outside the United States, pertains to more than one United States Government agency; and (2) Shall develop guidelines for how information or intelligence is provided to or accessed by the Intelligence Community. All guidelines developed in accordance with this section shall be approved by the Attorney General and, where applicable, shall be consistent with guidelines issued pursuant to section 1016 of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Protection Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-458) (IRTPA).
B. Shall ensure, through appropriate policies and procedures, the deconfliction, coordination, and integration of all intelligence activities conducted by an Intelligence Community element or funded by the National Intelligence Program. In accordance with these policies and procedures:
(A) The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall coordinate the clandestine collection of foreign intelligence collected through human sources or through human-enabled means and counterintelligence activities inside the United States;
(B) The Director of the Central Intelligence Agency shall coordinate the clandestine collection of foreign intelligence collected through human sources or through human-enabled means and counterintelligence activities outside the United States;
(C) All policies and procedures for the coordination of counterintelligence activities and the clandestine collection of foreign intelligence inside the United States shall be subject to the approval of the Attorney General; and
(D) All policies and procedures developed under this section shall be coordinated with the heads of affected departments and Intelligence Community elements.
1.5 Duties and Responsibilities of the Heads of Executive Branch Departments and Agencies. The heads of all departments and agencies shall:
(a) Provide the Director access to all information and intelligence relevant to the national security or that otherwise is required for the performance of the Director's duties, to include administrative and other appropriate management information, except such information excluded by law, by the President, or by the Attorney General acting under this order at the direction of the President.

The Lie of the Lone Wolf Terrorist
Soon after the shooting of Army Privates William Long and Quinton Ezeagwulaby by a “religion of peace” adherent, Cassandra Davis, a spokeswoman for the Little Rock Police Department issued the following statement:
“[The terrorist] acted alone and was not part of a larger plot”
This statement was made without any meaningful investigative work performed, and I told folks that the statement was a lie designed to placate the public. Not surprisingly, I was right.
Now two days after this terrorist attack, we know:
Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad traveled to Yemen to study jihad on a fake Somali passport, was arrested there, and the arrest reported to the FBI.
Having this information, the FBI did NOT question Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad when he returned to the United States or even one time in the months since (do you feel better about giving up your guns so you can be “protected” by the police?)
Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad’s computer reveals additional targets in the attack planning stages.
Let’s be clear: this homegrown terrorist converted to Islam through contact with somebody in the US, had help from a Jihadi organization to travel to the Middle East for training as a terrorist and obtaining false documents, was provided weapons or money for weapons from someone, and individually or with others planned attacks against United States Army targets, a child care center, a Jewish center, and other targets within the United States itself.
THIS IS NOT A SELF-MOTIVATED “LONE WOLF” TERRORIST!!!
Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad should be held as an enemy combatant, not treated like gangbanger in an Arkansas state murder case. We should utilize enhanced interrogation techniques on him immediately to determine who his other contacts in the United States and elsewhere are, and go round those folks up for interrogation.
Islamists are plotting attacks within the United States, and the FBI is more interested in performing surveillance on the Tea Parties. The world truly has turned upside down.
PS - The White House STILL has not issued a statement about the assassination of William Long shooting of Quinton Ezeagwulaby. Instead, B. Hussein Obama is bowing AGAIN before the Saudi king.
