Terror suspect from Tajikistan illegally crossed border into San Diego, was let in by officers

 At least one of eight suspected terrorists from Tajikistan arrested in a multi-agency sting over the last week had illegally crossed into the US at San Diego and been in the country at least six months, The Post has learned.

One of the ISIS-linked group — recently busted in Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia after FBI surveillance indicated they may be a national security threat — had crossed the border, was vetted by agents, then allowed into the country with a court date last year, according to sources.

The man, whose identity has not been revealed, also complied with instructions to meet with local Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Los Angeles.

Sources also told The Post ICE agents are also being warned they will likely have more terror-related migrant arrests to make — and possibly more involving the same group from Tajikistan.

San Diego is currently the busiest sector for illegal crossings on the border — and subject to special instructions which allow citizens of over 100 countries to be processed into the US, including individuals coming from countries tied to national security threats such as China and Turkey.

However, there are six countries from which adult migrants are to be sent for immediate removal from the US: Georgia, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, per Border Patrol.

In the last week, there have been 8,000 migrants apprehended by border officers after crossing illegally, sources told The Post Wednesday.

The arrest of the eight Tajikistan nationals — first reported by The Post yesterday — took place after the FBI co-ordinated with ICE to take them. It was later confirmed all are now in proceedings to be removed from the US.

The eight Tajiks were already being surveilled by federal authorities, who discovered there was discussion of bombs among the group.

All eight of them crossed the southern border and at least one had used the CBP One app to enter, according to NBC News.

All of them were released by federal authorities who found no terror-related records associated with their names.

That is likely because “sometimes there is just no information on individuals,” acting ICE director Patrick Lechleitner told NewsNation Wednesday.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) didn’t immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment, but released a joint statement with the FBI Tuesday confirming that ICE had made “several arrests” in recent days “in close coordination with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces.”

“The FBI and DHS will continue working around the clock with our partners to identify, investigate, and disrupt potential threats to national security. ”

The operation follows FBI Director Chris Wray’s warnings to Congress about the possibility of ISIS terror plots taking place on US soil and the group possibly exploiting the southern border.

Wray warned lawmakers in April of the possibility of a “coordinated attack” on US soil following an ISIS-K attack on a concert hall in Moscow — carried out by citizens of Tajikistan — that killed 145 people and wounded hundreds more.

“But now, increasingly concerning is the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland, akin to the ISIS-K attack we saw at the Russia concert hall a couple weeks ago,” he said.

Last August, CNN reported the FBI had been investigating a Turkish smuggler tied to ISIS who had been helping dozens of migrants from Uzbekistan cross the US-Mexico border.

Border Patrol has recorded an uptick in migrants crossing the southern border illegally whose names appear on the terror watchlist, with such encounters increasing from 11 in the financial years 2017 through 2020 to 362 between financial years 2021 and April 2024, according to federal data.

How Long A Battle With Terrorists Should Last

 U.S. President Joe Biden claimed that people have “every reason” to believe that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is dragging out the war in Gaza to remain in power, the Times of Israel columnist Jacob Magid wrote on June 4.

Asked in an interview with Time magazine published Tuesday, June 4, 2024, whether he accepts the allegation made by some that Netanyahu is prolonging the war for his own political self-preservation, Biden responded, “I’m not going to comment on that.”

But he subsequently added, “There is every reason for people to draw that conclusion.”

Numerous opponents of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claim that he is prolonging the war in Gaza to maintain his power.

Anyone who claims that the Israeli prime minister is prolonging the war in Gaza is, by this assertion, in effect saying that he knows how long Israel's war on terrorists in Gaza should last.

But who can know how long this Israeli war should last? What knowledge, what experience does one need to have to know exactly how long Israel's war in Gaza should last, and thus to claim that Israel's prime minister is willfully prolonging this war? Since a super-authority, a super-intelligence that knows everything about the correct duration of wars is unlikely to exist, let's try to estimate the possible duration of this war by means of a comparison with another war on terrorists. 

The U.S. and allied war against ISIS terrorists in the Iraqi city of Mosul was fought from March 24, 2016 to July 10, 2017. The battle for Mosul was conducted by the Iraqi government army with the participation of the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, U.A.E. and Turkey, who covered the Iraqi offensive with their air forces.

The allies won a complete victory over ISIS terrorists, driving them out of Mosul. The territory and population of Mosul is roughly half the size of the territory and population of Gaza.

From this perspective alone, the war in Gaza should have lasted twice as long as the war in Mosul. The war in Mosul lasted a year and three months. By that metric, the war in Gaza should have lasted two years and six months. At this point, Israel's war in Gaza has been going on for eight months.

But Mosul didn't have 500 kilometers of underground tunnels like Gaza. ISIS terrorists didn't have the amazing underground maneuvering capabilities, troop movements, and number of ambushes that they had in Gaza.

So, the effect of the tunnels should further increase the duration of the war.  ISIS terrorists have not had as much military and financial aid as Hamas terrorists. Consequently, such a large amount of aid to Hamas terrorists should further lengthen the duration of the Gaza war. But there is another factor in lengthening the duration of the Gaza war, as the Israeli army has been much more careful in dealing with civilians in Gaza than the Iraqi army and its allies have been in Mosul.

In March 2017, U.S. aircraft launched a massive airstrike on the western suburbs of Mosul, killing hundreds of civilians. A spokeswoman for Amnesty International said that “U.S.-led coalition troops, using tactics of total destruction of buildings without regard for civilian casualties.” According to her, “heavy losses” of civilians suggest that the coalition “blatantly violates” the norms of international humanitarian law. She said such “disproportionate and indiscriminate attacks” could amount to war crimes.

In July 2017, Hoshyar Zebari, a minister in the Iraqi government, said that more than 40,000 civilians were killed in the assault on Mosul. On the side of the Iraqi army in Mosul was the military aviation of six countries led by the United States, which violated all the norms of humane treatment of civilians, the fulfillment of which these six countries demand from Israel. To summarize, the war in Gaza should continue for many years.

However, the situation is even more complex. The war in Gaza is not an isolated war. On Oct. 7, 2023, Israel's war against the “Islamic Axis” or “Axis of Resistance” countries began. “Axis of Resistance” refers to an unofficial anti-Israel and anti-Western political and military coalition led by Iran. It includes various terrorist groups in Judea, Samaria, Gaza, Syria and Lebanon, as well as Iraqi Shiite militias and the Houthis in Yemen. The war in Gaza is related to the military actions of these terrorists. Perhaps it is the same war. Could Netanyahu be delaying the war against the “axis of resistance” forces? Those who claim that Prime Minister Netanyahu is deliberately prolonging the war assume that all the evil in Israel and the country's problems are centered in one man. This conspiracy thinking has no basis for this claim other than a political desire to oust the prime minister from office.  

French political scientist Pierre-André Taghieff wrote that the simplification at the center of the conspiracy theory provides a misleading illumination of the political field. Explanation by means of a single and simple factor, such as the concentration of the main evil in the personality of the prime minister or president, is mythologizing.

A New Era for the DoJ

 The latest Democrat Wile E. Coyote plan went as per usual. They convicted Donald Trump for a phony crime in New York City, causing him to raise a record bonanza of campaign cash, with more on the way. Beep, Beep!

The backlash of disgust with all the lawfare will speed Pres. Trump back to the White House. Once there, he will have a mandate like no other to the address the cesspools of legal corruption across so many states and cities.

America’s possibly worst judge, Juan Merchan, now has a choice. Give Trump a confinement sentence, home detention, Rikers Island, etc.; or levy a fine, like every other first-time offender of so insignificant a violation receives. He will probably ask his daughter first, to see what decision will bring in the most money to her consulting business.

It should be noted that Trump was not so attentive, unfortunately, to the appointments he made at the beginning of his first term; none more costly than to the Department of Justice. Consequently, his own DoJ was eagerly working with the Deep State to frustrate his agenda, while his first AG looked on in bafflement.

Trump 2.0 however, will be different. Trump already has the tools to clean house, promising to implement the Schedule F appointment regs, allowing him to replace 20,000 civil servants with his own people. Thousands of these would be DoJ lawyers.

The area of the DoJ most needing new hires is the Civil Rights division. Currently, all this bunch seems to do is add pointless federal charges to high profile, racially charged state convictions.

The Civil Rights division should instead be doing what it was intended for, investigating towns and states where the ordinary justice system is being perverted.

For example, I write a lot about the mess in New Hampshire with its infamous sex abuse lawsuit racket.

There was last year, a slight hope that the police detective at the center of this scandal would start to face official sanctions, but it appears not. His bipartisan protectors in the state’s establishment bailed him out once again.

This is exactly the law enforcement failure at the state level that the federal civil rights laws were supposed to rectify. But since everybody in New Hampshire is very white, there is no interest, as of yet, in a federal investigation.

Nor is anyone in the current DoJ at all bothered by the epic crime wave in our big cities.  Trump can address this in two ways. First, order direct federal prosecutions of the most violent street thugs by the DoJ. And second, withhold  federal funds for sanctuary cities and other jurisdictions that are uninterested in following the law. All those bad mayors around the country would start singing a different tune if their Washington money dries up.

One would hope the FBI under a new director can also regain its bearings. Besides being weighed down with political weasels at the top, the FBI struggles to recruit new agents, and it assigns way too many agents to “counter-terror” programs that lead to few arrests. They spend all their time on stupid investigations of Latin Mass Catholics and moms who speak up at school board meetings.

Meanwhile, all kinds of international gangs, from China to Somalia, are operating everything from sophisticated drug rings to computer financial scams the FBI cannot find time to investigate. Much the same exists for the Secret Service, U.S. Marshals, and ATF. I suspect the top people in federal law enforcement are afraid to look into any such international criminals, because it will invariably lead to massive violations of our immigration laws, so Team Biden cannot allow any of that.    

A lot of conservatives have also called for in-kind retaliation directly on the Democrats for what they did to Trump and his allies. Steve Bannon, as usual, is way too far ahead, promising revenge on virtually everyone with a D by their name.  This is unnecessary and not productive.

A Trump DoJ should simply make a good faith effort to enforce the laws fairly on these people and let the chips fall where they may. The massive exposure of Team Biden for their actions via years of investigations, special counsel reports, and public trials would be of inestimable value to our democracy, even if some deep-blue jury pools refuse to convict. 

The whole concept of 18 USC 242, the basis for the DoJ Civil Rights division, is about denying someone their rights under “color of law.” It’s what is happening right now to Donald Trump. It’s why Fani Willis was at the White House before her dud of an indictment and how Merrick Garland’s Number 3  was sent down to run the Alvin Bragg prosecution. All one big criminal conspiracy to “get Trump.” This illegal lawfare should warrant a special counsel investigation, at least.

A Trump DoJ must be a very busy place, finally prosecuting the Biden family for the millions of dollars they all received for influence peddling. And the massive Iranian spy scandal Tony Blinken is covering up. And the criminal misfeasance of everyone from Tony Fauci to Alejandro Mayorkas. These guys almost certainly have violated 18 USC 1001: false statements to Congress or to other persons in the government. If they received any kind reward or bonus for their work that disregarded the law (hint-they did) they are guilty of violating 18 USC 1834, the Honest Services fraud law.

With true reform of DoJ, Americans could once again have hope and confidence that we are still a nation of laws, as the current reign of inequity is repaid with the simple application of authentic justice.

When a US State Outsources Mental Health to China

 Many are voicing concerns about the State of Montana outsourcing its behavioral health to a private consulting firm, Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), which also happens to do business with China.  Montana’s decision to hire A&M to revamp the state’s behavioral health system has sparked concerns mostly relating to the $300-million price tag associated with the account, but oddly has avoided mention of the firm’s ties to China.  Why?

The Montana move to outsource these important high-dollar accounts highlights the Behavioral Health Commission’s unchecked power and lack of public oversight.  A&M, a global professional services firm, has a strategic partnership with the Chinese state-owned Zhongze Group, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest and national security risks.  Entrusting a company with Chinese connections to overhaul Montana’s sensitive behavioral health infrastructure is for many a cause for alarm.

According to the official Montana website, Governor Greg Gianforte signed House Bill 872 into law on May 22, 2023, providing a generational investment to reform and improve Montana’s behavioral health and developmental disabilities service systems.  A central component of the governor’s Budget for Montana Families, the $300-million investment will expand intensive and community-based behavioral health care and developmental disabilities services across Montana.  This new oversight commission, the Behavioral Health System for Future Generations Commission (BHSFGC), is formed around the A&M relationship and recommendations at an estimated cost of five to ten million dollars for A&M.  Do the taxpayers of Montana really think that’s the final price tag for A&M’s assistance?

These behavioral health oversight committees, like in Montana, are nothing new.  The United States has a long, dark history of using unelected behavioral health committees to set mental health policies, endorse risky mental health treatment protocols, and write legislation.  These “experts” have been the architects of some of the most inhumane “treatments,” such as lobotomies, electric shock treatment, and the massive drugging of children with dangerous psychotropic mind-altering drugs.  The committee reports to the governors in each state, while the taxpayers get the benefit of funding the programs and the treatments but then are provided little to no information about whether the programs are effective and, more importantly, whether anyone is getting better.

Governors appoint many of the members, often with heavy ties to the behavioral health industry, who benefit financially from connections to the psychiatric and pharmaceutical industries.  Yet these oversight committees operate outside the view of the public and burn through billions of dollars on failed psychiatric approaches without any accountability.

In fact, when these behavioral health programs fail, to avoid public criticism — such as “why isn’t anyone getting better” and “how is that significant tax money being spent” — the committee often changes its name.  For example, the Riverview Hospital for Children in Middletown, Conn. was a state-run psychiatric facility and, despite the desire to have to shut down, it was rehabilitated into the Albert J. Solnit Psychiatric Center — South Campus, the only state-run psychiatric facility in New England.  Riverview had its problems, including restraints, and a federal inspection cited the hospital for poor performance in areas such as medication, mental health assessments, treatment plans, and staff training.  Then, when the abuse is made public, new calls come for more spending to solve the problems created at the last facility.  It appears that nothing gets better — especially not the patients.

So you wonder where this behavior health push began.  Ironically, President John F. Kennedy created the very first structure, a President’s Panel on Mental Retardation.  Over time, this name has frequently changed.  The original purpose was to cure mental retardation, and the panel was established within the Executive Branch but operated outside the legislative process.  Of course, none of the panel members was ever elected by the people, many of them psychiatrists directing human research and writing legislation recommendations for the president with big price tags attached.

President Nixon expanded this quasi-governmental panel and moved it to the states, under the Executive Branch, reporting to the governors.  Over the years, the name of the committees has changed.  But today, these committees are usually called behavioral health oversight committees, varying slightly depending on the state.

The public understands it as the “mental health system,” and the average person wouldn’t know what behavioral health entails.  However, it is a powerful structure buried within the government bureaucracy that makes recommendations to the state government on how the public should behave, what is acceptable, and to what lengths the state will go to enforce psychiatric treatments on the poor and uniformed.

The public has no idea that those who sit on these committees are very friendly to the behavioral health vendors who make up the psychiatric and pharmaceutical industries and are themselves considered the most important “stakeholders” because they provide the services.  These committees and commissions set policies within public schools, prisons, foster care, and the community that benefit the vendors.

Given the amount of money on the table in Montana, it is shocking to see these new developments with A&M and its connections to China.  Is there no company in the state of Montana that can handle this state contract?  Really?  One must wonder what the contract with A&M ultimately will cost the taxpayers of Montana and who is to advise the public on whether A&M’s work was worthy of the enormous pay.

Allowing a firm with ties to the Chinese government to have access to sensitive health data and shape state policies seems like a costly mistake.  One must consider if there may be serious national security concerns attached to this relationship. 

The first public meeting of the BHSFGC is set for the end of June.  Will the new commission be public-friendly, or will it be a continuation of the behavioral health industry vendors setting policy without checks and balances?  More importantly, with $300 million on the table, when will the public get a report that will let them know whether anyone is getting better?  That’s the point, right?

'We have the Israelis where we want them,' gloats Hamas's top Gaza terrorist, Yahya al-Sinwar

 If anything out there tells us the worth of Joe Biden's so-called 'peace plan,' it's in the response of Hamas's top terrorist chieftain in Gaza, Yahya al-Sinwar, who launched the Oct. 7 massacre.

According to Legal Insurrection:

Hamas’ Gaza-based chief Yahya Sinwar triumphantly declared that “we have the Israelis right where we want them” as President Joe Biden’s administration is pressuring Israel to agree on its ceasefire deal.

Hamas’ Gaza-based chief boasted of the terrorist group’s ability to wage war against Israel for months. “As long as fighters are still standing and we have not lost the war,” Sinwar claimed in a letter to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who is currently hiding in Qatar. “We have the capabilities to continue fighting for months,” the terror chief declared.

Hamas chief’s claims come to light as the Biden administration is rallying support for its ceasefire deal at the United Nations, a body with a long history of harboring anti-Israel positions.

Both he and Israel's prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu understand that this is a win/lose war going on, with his side already the losing one. If Sinwar can get the Israeli Defense Forces off his back, which have been winning victory after victory at his terrorist gang's expense, he will be free to regroup, wait a while, get cash and arms from Iran, and then strike again.

He can see that Biden's so-called "peace treaty" is a load of drivel, which is why he had no trouble saying he was glad to sign onto it. Based on the terms of this plan, which Biden is pushing Israel to accept, Israel will be the one to lose as the war is played on his terms.

Hostages will be freed, but only in exchange for jailed terrorists who will be free to conduct more terror attacks and murders on Jews again. A ceasefire will take place and that suits his aims perfectly. Much easier to attack and massacre innocent unarmed civilians than have to fight the well-trained Israeli Defense Forces on Israel's terms.

Sinwar knows what's good for himself, and that alone is reason for Israel to shun this hideous "peace" treaty, which pretty well resembles all the previous "peace" treaties Israel has agreed to. Sinwar knows this, too, as it's worked out quite well for him in giving him the resources to launch newer and more lethal terror attacks.

This is far from the only repulsive sentiment he's expressed to reveal his own monstrous intentions.

Legal Insurrection continues:

The i24NEWS reported Sinwar’s remarks:

Hamas chief in Gaza Yahya Sinwar in correspondence with his compatriots and mediators has expressed an opinion that the civilian losses in the Strip during the Israel-Hamas war are a “necessary sacrifice” for the Palestinian cause, reported The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), familiar to the letters.

“We have the Israelis right where we want them,” the article cited Sinwar’s recent message to Hamas officials seeking to broker an agreement with Qatari and Egyptian officials.

In a letter to the political leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, after three of his adult sons were killed in an Israeli airstrike, Sinwar wrote that their deaths and those of other Palestinians “will inject life into the veins of this nation, and bring it to its glory and honor.”

Had enough? "Necessary sacrifices"? Notice that it's never him making those "necessary sacrifices," only other people.

The ogre revels in death, the more deaths the better.

Not only does he revel in killing Jews, he likes to run the body count up among his own people, too, the better to get those photos out to the news media of weeping women and bawling children. Based on his remarks, it's pretty clear he rubs his hands together with glee.

He knows that the Western intelligentsia will reflexively blame Israel for all the deaths he set the stage for. He's not going to pay any price for it. And with Israel on the hot seat over that peace treaty, he does indeed have them "right where he wants them."

It calls to mind what Eric Hoffer wrote in his second book, The Passionate State of Mind and Other Aphorisms, published in 1955:

“Those who would sacrifice a generation to realize an ideal are the enemies of mankind.”

Eric (who was my friend) always knew how to read guys like this

The 'shady, stagnant wealth' bankrolling Jihad funds more than campus protests

 By Monica Showalter

At Issues & Insights, Tom McArdle, my former colleague from the Investor's Business Daily editorial page, has written an excellent piece about the "shady, stagnant wealth" of those billionaires who are spending big dollars from their trust funds to bankroll pro-Hamas campus protests, explaining that it's not people who create things for the market who are financing all the dreams of Jihad, but useless, idle, "Leftist Lord Fauntleroys." He cites the Rockefellers, Pritzgers, Soroses, whose "juniors" fund secretive foundations that dish cash to pro-Hamas and other radical organizations.

Today’s Rockefellers are left-wing political activists who happen to be loaded, not entrepreneurs.

...and...

The great innovators of American economic history, whose inventions and drive to bring the fruits of their ingenuity to the masses have improved countless lives, fully deserve their financial rewards. It has never been a secret that many of the children and grandchildren to whom they left their wealth never inherited their forebears’ brains.

But now, beyond that, we find many in the succeeding generations actually financing forces advocating anti-semitism, terrorism, and racial genocide.

It makes sense that this type of character is involved.

What's disturbing is that evidence is emerging that they don't just shell out the cash here.

In Gaza, the Hamas terrorist who held three Israelis hostage in his home while presenting himself as a "journalist" for something called "Palestine Chronicle" (and who also contributed to Al Jazeera), certainly got his cash from one of these U.S.-based foundations.

According to the New York Post:

The Palestine Chronicle is a nonprofit organization based in Washington state that works to provide daily news to Gaza.

The outlet claims its team “consists of professional journalists and respected writers and authors who don’t speak on behalf of any political party or champion any specific political agenda.”  

The organization confirmed Sunday that Aljamal was a contributor reporting on the ground in Gaza, but made no mention that he was holding three hostages.  

The outlet did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment. 

That doesn't mean the foundation was funding the actual terrorism. It doesn't even mean that they knew about this guy's membership in Hamas, though they should have. It doesn't mean they knew he was a terrorist. They were just paying him for his pro-Hamas propaganda pieces, being ones to like that kind of garbage. But that pay from them made him very wealthy by Gaza standards, wealthy enough to have lots of spare time to practice Jihad on the side and have a big apartment with which to hold hostages. We still haven't heard anything from the foundation disavowing this creep.

Lisa Birnbach, who wrote the original Preppy Handbook in 1980, and then a sequel to her book with Chip Kidd 30 years later, called True Prep: It's A Whole New Old World, Brooks Brothers Limited Edition, described the kind of idle rich who turn up in these foundations that bankroll guys like Aljamal.

In a sidebar on page 123 headlined "Why Not For Profits Are More Prep Than The Private Sector," she (it sounds like her) explained:

Any job that has a kind of mysterious benefactor is preppier than a job that has an obvious salary source.

Any job that has a vaguely helpful purpose is preppier than a job that is just about earning money. (Earning lots of money is fine but a little bit obvious and therefore embarrassing.)

Any job that helps people really far away (microfinancing in Africa, feeding children in Haiti, and so on) is incredibly prep.

You need to feel you are contributing to our nation's good, a la John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Thomas Jefferson, FDR, Jane Addams.

You are not doing it for the money.

...

Working in obscurity is prep. No one really knows what you do, which is perfect--your privacy is inact, as are your online Scrabble scores. Remember, in the best of situations, your kids have no idea what you do, beyond going to an office.

It means you are working for one of those earnest preppies who care so much about something arcane: You are preserving the musical rhythms of the Mayan people.

[Long list of other arcane projects follows.]

...

Whatever it is, no one can really check up on you because you go far away for long periods of time and cell phones don't work in the jungle, the brush, on the equator, at the South Pole, or wherever it is you go for three months at a time.

You can do this (whatever it is) forever.

Which is why we see so much cash flowing to Jihad and the promotion of Jew-hate, to the point of cash going to finance campus protests, and even bankroll terrorists' lifestyles abroad.

It's the idle rich making this possible, claiming they are "making a difference" and "saving the world" and other palaver.

Their cash not only goes to fund campus protests, it's spread out to indoctrinating schoolchildren, as AT contributor Barry Shaw notes today, and it's also going to pad the lifestyles of actual terrorists so they can do what they do.

It raises the question of how much of a hosing out needs to be done of this racketry and terrorist support once judgment day arrives on November 5.
