Op-ed: 
Congress Infiltrated...Maybe

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

Few American papers and media outlets are reporting on it and the ones that do are giving it a cursory mention at best while simply saying that the reports out of the Middle East are not true. However, a major Israeli newspaper, The Jerusalem Post, is saying the reports are indeed true and two major Arab media sites including Al-Jazeera (headquartered in Doha, Qatar) and Al Arabiya (a Saudi-owned media company based in Dubai) are not actually contradicting the reports, and this alone gives credence to those reports. How so...because one would think these two Arab sites would circle the wagons to protect one of their own which they clearly have not done.

And by one of their own I mean Trump-hating, America and Israel-hating, anti-Semitic muslima Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)...a member of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's infamous and ever so delusional “Squad.”

So I guess only time will tell how this all plays out...whether the reports are true or not...but until that time this story must no longer be ignored for when one looks at the big picture, when one puts all the puzzle pieces together, I believe the truth will show what some of us have known for quite a long time...as in Rep. Ilhan Omar needs not only to be expelled from Congress but brought up on charges of treason as well.

Ilhan Omar...Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaeda, and CAIR supporting, Hamas and Hezbollah championing Ilhan Omar...now sees reports starting to surface showing that she was recruited by a foreign government...as in Qatar... that she passed along what was deemed  “sensitive information”...translation: classified information...to Qatar who then in turn relayed said “sensitive information” to Iran...with her then receiving campaign funding from Qatar and others in return. And this is according to a sworn deposition by Kuwati-born Canadian businessman Alan Bender who considers Ilhan Omar a “Trojan horse” for Doha.

Told via video feed while testifying from Toronto in the U.S. District Court of Florida on October 23rd of this year, and while the full deposition itself has not been published nor released...Florida courts do not release discovery material...Bender openly stated that he met Qatar’s Secretary to the Emir for Security Affairs Mohammad bin Ahmed bin Abdullah al-Masnad and two other senior Qatari officials, and that the three men claimed credit for what they said was the “meteoric political rise” of Ilhan Omar, adding that “If it wasn't for our cash, Ilhan Omar would be just another black Somali refugee in America collecting welfare and serving tables on weekends.”

Now what separates this from other reports concerning Ilhan Omar's alleged islamic loyalties is the fact that not only was the deposition obtained by Al Arabiya English, but that said deposition was actually authenticated by the attorney for the plaintiffs...as in The Castaneda Law Firm, based in Tampa, Florida...a key item of note not being reported on in the mainstream media's cursory mention.

Briefly, this latest in a string of Ilhan Omar brouhahas all started when Alan Bender was subpoenaed in a Florida lawsuit brought against the Qatari emir’s brother, Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad al-Thani, who has been accused of ordering his American bodyguard to murder two people as well as his “holding” a hired American paramedic prisoner against his wishes. Now testifying about his meetings with Al-Masnad and other Qatari officials in which they mentioned the Sheikh Khalid case as well as discussing Qatar’s campaign to influence Western politicians, Bender claimed he was asked to “recruit American politicians and journalists to be Qatari assets.” Saying in his deposition that he objected and turned down the offer, Bender also stated that the Qatari officials then told him that several American politicians and journalists from both sides of the political aisle were already on the payroll and that they specifically made a point of naming Ilhan Omar, whom they described as the “jewel of the crown” of the operation.

And why was Ilhan Omar the “jewel of the crown” and why specifically was she chosen by the Qataris? Simply, according to Bender, because al-Masnad told him that with her father having had a known history of carrying out "very violent interrogations," when he was a high ranking officer in the Somalian army, that "they thought that would be very suitable because the more dirt you have on your candidate, the easier it is to control the candidate."

Sadly, a true fact what with our own political situation at times attesting to that.

And if all Bender said is true, Ilhan Omar is a de facto bought-and-paid-for spy for Iran with Qatar being the cash cow conduit by which she knowingly and willingly passed along “sensitive information” to America's enemy.

Adding even more drama to said deposition and testimony, Bender went on to state that Al-Masnad told him that the Qatar government “recruited Ilhan Omar from even way before she thought about becoming a government official...that they groomed her and arranged the foundation, the grounds, for her to get into politics way before she even showed interest. They convinced her.” “Convinced her” as in Omar receiving cash payments for her cooperating with the Qataris.

In fact, there are three other not-so-little things of interest...things of interest that should send up “red flags” if nothing else.

Again as per Alan Bender, back in 2017 while serving as a Minnesota junior state representative, Ilhan Omar reportedly met with Muslim Brotherhood and islamist supporting Turkish President Recep Erdogan, and that she swore allegiance to both him and his agenda.

Once she was elected to the House of Representatives, Bender stated that Omar not only used her new position to access “sensitive information”...”sensitive information” which again she supposedly relayed to Qatar, who in turn sent it on to Iran...but that she also supposedly "actively recruited" other politicians on behalf of Qatar. In fact, again according to Alan Bender's sworn testimony, the Qataris claimed that “the best thing money can buy are American officials because they are the cheapest of the cheapest costing officials in the world.”

Bender also told the Florida court that both Ilhan Omar and Linda Sarsour were actual members of the Muslim Brotherhood. "They [the Qataris] called her Sister Ilhan, which is a term you only use when you're a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. So Abdullah al-Athbah, he refers to Ilhan Omar as Sister Ilhan, and Sister Linda, which is Linda Sarsour, another activist who is now going to run for Senate."

And Alan Bender is not the only one to expose Omar’s link to Qatar, and this man's words might be even more damning as he is a fellow muslim. Imam Mohammad Tawhidi, the so-called "Imam of Peace," is his name and he posted on Twitter that, “Keep an eye on journalists who are rushing to discredit the Ilhan-Qatar scandal. They claim to have read the US Federal Lawsuit deposition. They haven’t. The lawyer @RCastanedaUSA hasn’t even filed it.” He then added that, “Before the story on Ilhan Omar being a Qatari agent broke, the Government of Qatar officially tried to get me suspended from Twitter. Why would they do that? What were they hoping to prevent? They are still pursuing this, and that’s because the bombshell report is yet to come.”

Why indeed...the puzzle pieces should start fitting together about now.

Simply, if what both Alan Bender and Mohammad Tawhidi are saying is true...which I personally believe it to be no matter that Bender is reported to be an ally of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman...Ilhan Omar is rightfully in big trouble what with her previous “track record” itself also speaking volumes.

Remember, this is the very BDS and Palestinian aligned woman who stated, “It's all about the Benjmins, Baby;” the woman who demands that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo reverse his recent announcement on the legality of West Bank settlements foolishly saying that his words "severely damaged prospects for peace" in the region; the woman who openly fundraisers for and promotes CAIR; and the woman who back in July was found guilty by the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board of violating state campaign finance rules by improperly using campaign money for out-of-state travel while she served as a state representative. And this is the very woman Judicial Watch wants the House Ethics Committee to investigate for alleged offenses including immigration fraud in regards to her brother/first husband.

Also, just this past October, this vile woman became one of the few freshman representatives barred from visiting Israel, as well as having The New York Post reporting that she paid $150,000 to a political consulting group where Tim Mynett is a partner and that she did so in the three months after they broke the story that she and Mynett were involved in an extramarital affair. And this last bit of reporting by The New York Post lends much credence to Bender's telling the court that al-Masnad and his cohorts also spoke to him about a perceived “weakness” they saw in Ilhan Omar...a perceived “weaknesses” that made her a “suitable recruit” after Bender questioned why would a devout muslim such as Omar take bribes. And their answer was, "don't be fooled by her head scarf. She's a sex maniac, and she's very weak when it comes to money and sex. And we got both."

Tabloid fodder perhaps, but it does reek of serious campaign finance violations as well as overt bribery.

And what was Ilhan Omar's response to Alan Bender's series of accusations? In typical Democrat liberal-speak Ilhan Omar pulled a “Hillary”...as in not answering direct questions and blaming others for her predicament... blaming others while hiding behind a spokesperson...too cowardly to defend herself or her actions it seems. In a prepared statement to The Jerusalem Post...obviously if a statement was issued and printed this story does indeed have merit...her spokesperson said the allegations are “outlandishly absurd” and that, “Since the day she was elected, Saudi Arabian trolls and mouthpieces have targeted Rep. Omar with misinformation and conspiracy theories. The latest outlandishly absurd story from a Saudi-funded media outlet is, of course, false and only the latest in that trend,” adding that “The only people Rep. Omar represents in Washington are the people of Minnesota’s 5th District. She will continue to speak out against human rights violations around the world—whether it is war crimes in Yemen or the caging of children at our border—regardless of who commits them.”

Playing the woman of color race card yet again while masquerading as a humanitarian might have worked for Ilhan Omar in the past, but I don't think it will work out well for her now what with accusations as serious as these. And whether the liberal alphabet media reports on it or not...whether they give this important story but a cursory nod at best...it's my opinion that in doing so the alphabet media itself is guilty of “aiding and abetting” a traitor for those in said media know as well as I do that Ilhan Omar is indeed an enemy combatant of these United States. Ilhan Omar's actions taken and her vile words spewed have proven that time and again, and yet the media chooses to protect this muslima as if she was one of their own. But then maybe she is for there really is no difference between one who commits a crime and one who knows said crime was committed and by whom, but who instead chooses to remain silent.

Silence is golden at times...silence can be deadly at times...and silence comes back to haunt at other times...just saying.

The Fix is In

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

“Do I think [she committed a crime]? Yes, I think...It’s such an important story for our country and the world. It is one of the big stories of our time.”   

- President Trump on Susan Rice being exposed as one of the key players in the wiretap scandal

A key player for sure for what was Susan Rice but a bought and paid for political operative working on behalf of the Obama administration. Now exposed as the person responsible for the 'unmasking' of President Trump’s transition team, this was found out after the White House Counsel's office reviewed her document log requests. But know that in no way did this woman devise this wiretapping scenario on her own for Susan Rice is neither smart enough nor powerful enough to pull off this scope of targeted wiretapping without help and instructions.

And when you dismiss the currently circulating possibilities that maybe she was acting in connection with a joint investigation into Russian interference into the election or that she was simply seeking insight about foreign governments, what is left is the more likely scenario that Susan Rice was conducting the kind of political espionage President Trump has alleged all along, and did so on the behest of her boss Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

And to that likely affect, this past Monday, Senator Rand Paul called for Susan Rice...Obama’s last National Security Advisor...to testify under oath...believing as do I that Obama himself might have ordered her to “unmask” Trump officials for “unspecified purposes”...actually for political purposes as in to bring the Trump administration down before it even began if truth be told. And then on Tuesday, Susan Rice herself admitted that she had asked for U.S. citizens to be “unmasked” on several occasions while hemming and hawing about whether any of those persons were on Trump’s transition team. And of course she vehemently insisted that she had done nothing wrong.

“The allegations that somehow Obama administration officials utilized intelligence for political purposes are absolutely false...unmasking] is necessary to do my job...imagine if we saw something of grave significance about Russia, or China, or anybody else interfering with our political process,” were Susan Rice’s exact words...words based upon lies but then again words coming from the mouth of the ‘Liar of Benghazi’...words basically trying to insert into the discourse the Democrats nonsense that Russia ‘fixed’ the election so Hillary would lose...done so she could justify her what I and others truly believe to be criminal actions.

Saying that she was asked by the intelligence community to turn over the names of those in the Trump transition team who had been ‘caught,’ if you will, speaking via phone to or meeting in person with foreign officials under surveillance...and it was here that General Flynn was named...but what Susan Rice is not saying is that while these names...civilian names...are usually redacted in transcripts that high-level government officials can and do 'request' through a process called ‘unmasking.’ And what is ‘unmasking’ exactly...simply it is the identifying of those whose communications and conversations were inadvertently caught during a coordinated effort of intelligence gathering even though those persons were not the subject of a search warrant.

Now as for Susan Rice’s specific 'requests'...'requests' that are kept under ”tightly-controlled conditions”...these 'requests' are what exposed her actions. It must also be noted that each person requesting such information has to log-in by signing their name before being granted access to requested information, and it is important to know that Susan Rice was one of but three people (with the other two being CIA Director John Brennan and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch) that Obama gave permission “to request and consume unmasked NSA-based intelligence reports about U.S. citizens.”

And when this past February during a routine review of requests, Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the National Security Council’s Senior Director for Intelligence, discovered that Susan Rice, on dozens of occasions, filed 'requests' for the identities of persons in ‘raw intelligence reports’... persons whose monitored conversations were between Trump associates and foreign officials who discussed then-president-elect Trump’s transition...conversations that were collected ‘incidentally’ without said persons being the targets of specific electronic eavesdropping and whose identities instead of being redacted became known. And this led Cohen-Watnick to (rightfully) bring all this to the attention of the White House General Counsel’s office, who in turn reviewed more of Rice’s requests and instructed Cohen-Watnick to end his own research into the ‘unmasking policy’ and that they would handle it from there on out as the information garnered included 'sensitive information' about not only who the president’s associates were meeting, but their views on foreign policy issues, and further transition plans. as well

And then when National Security Advisor H. R. McMaster was informed of these goings on he sent his aide, one Derek Harvey, to Capitol Hill to brief Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes on these findings...and the rest is history as they say.

But now that we know the wiretapping on President Trump did indeed happen and that it involved Obama’s flunky Susan Rice, the questions remaining become what if any hand did Barack HUSSEIN Obama have in this, what if any crime did Susan Rice commit, and if a crime was indeed committed and if Obama was involved...as I and others suspect...what should their punishments be?

So did the woman who said “I leaked nothing to nobody and never have and never would” commit any crime...I say ‘yes.' And that crime starts with what she does best...lie. But why lie if Susan Rice felt she did nothing wrong...why lie if there was nothing to cover up... why...because Susan Rice was instructed to make a crime far worse than Watergate go away. And while that lie might not involve how the information was collected it does involve the hows and the whys it was publicly disseminated.

And just like with Benghazi Rice's lies started with her appearance last month on yet another talk show, this time on the 'PBS NewsHour' where she was asked about reports that Trump and his transition officials were "swept up in" an incidental intelligence collection concerning possible Russian interference with the election. And Rice’s response, "I know nothing about this...I was surprised to see reports from Chairman Nunes on that account today."

Liar...for like I said earlier, this past Tuesday, Susan Rice admitted that she asked for U.S. citizens to be ‘unmasked’ and that nothing she did was for political purposes, which again is a lie...a lie told to deliberately create controversy and questions involving the Trump team, and to delegitimize the Trump presidency in any and every way possible even before he was sworn into office.

So, was the monitoring of Trump’s campaign and his transition team and then doing nothing to safeguard their identities as per the law paramount to spying as some say?  To answer that it is first important to remember that while government surveillance of U.S. citizens is indeed constrained by statute and the Constitution, spying on foreigners... including diplomats...is permitted as per the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) which allows so-called ‘secret courts’ to issue surveillance warrants for non-Americans. 

But with Obama having given Susan Rice permission to request the names of Americans picked up in such surveillance, especially when it is being claimed that there was a “compelling national security” reason to do so (as in the Democrats still unproven claim that Russia interfered with our election) some say that disclosing the names of transition officials who were caught up in legal wiretaps of foreigners is not the same thing as illegally spying on the Trump campaign. 

And with some legal experts saying that the standard for senior officials to learn the names of U.S. persons ‘incidentally’ collected is that it must have some foreign intelligence value, a standard that can apply to almost anything, which Rice has now used to defend her actions; and with others like Susan Hennessey, a former attorney for the National Security Agency and current Brookings Institution fellow, saying that they believe there would have been “nothing worrisome” about Rice asking for the names of Trump officials to be unmasked while in her post as the Obama administration’s top national security official....others are saying that while Susan Rice’s actions did indeed if not break the law did cross over into very dangerous ground because as per the law the redacted names...'classified names’...were never supposed to be released and they deliberately were.

In fact, John R. Schindler, a conservative columnist for the 'New York Observer' and a former NSA analyst with deeply placed ‘sources’ in the intelligence community, wrote that "Rice had perfectly legitimate reasons to want to know the full story about those reports"...meaning intelligence reports tracking foreign-government officials discussing Trump or talking to Trump associates....but that Rice was a "deeply unpopular figure" in the intelligence community. "Rice didn't like to play by the rules, including the top-secret ones," he wrote in the New York Observer. "On multiple occasions, she asked the NSA to do things they regarded as unethical and perhaps illegal. When she was turned down, the NSA fears breaking laws for any White House, since they know they will be left holding the bag in the end, Rice kept pushing."

So, while Susan Rice might technically not have done anything legally wrong in asking for redacted names to be ‘unmasked’ in reports involving Trump and his people, she did do something wrong...very wrong...when instead of keeping those should be ‘classified names’ to herself she released them in an effort to not only play politics with said ‘classified names,’ but to also keep the lie going that Russia had tried to influence the 2016 presidential election. 

And what is the punished for leaking classified information whether it be something as simple as ‘classified names’...as per 18 U.S. Code § 798 - Disclosure of Classified Information...”Whoever knowingly and willfully communicates, furnishes, transmits, or otherwise makes available to an unauthorized person, or publishes, or uses in any manner prejudicial to the safety or interest of the United States or for the benefit of any foreign government to the detriment of the United States any classified information...Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.”

So now as we wait and see if anyone has the courage to charge her with anything... especially since both the gender and race cards are now being thrown out by the media in that this attack on Susan Rice is only happening because she is a woman and a black woman to boot...more lies of course...we need to know what role exactly did Barack HUSSEIN Obama play in all this...and know that his hand is all over it as he on so many occasions made public statements to the effect that he would be keeping his eye on now President Trump and calling him to task for anything he did not agree with him on.

And let’s be honest here...Obama was more than a bit angry that Hillary Clinton did not get the chance to finish off his ‘fundamental change of America’ as he and his fellow leftist Democrats counted on her doing. So what better way to funnel that anger than do a bit of payback by any means possible and using any conduit possible.

And so enter center stage Susan Rice who in her capacity as National Security Advisor became Obama’s conduit of choice. And what better proof of that is there than her lies, her alludings, her declining to say whether she personally saw intelligence on Trump's associates or whether she asked for their identities (which the log rolls show she did), along with the fact that neither she nor her Democrat cohorts have said a word defending “We the People’s right to privacy in such surveillance sweeps...right’s assured us by law...right’s she as National Security Advisor should have been screaming for loud and clear.

So with us now knowing that Susan Rice was indeed the 'front man' behind the wiretapping of President Trump, it also must be know that even if she is called to testify that she will invoke ‘the 5th’ no matter what question is asked. And why...because Susan Rice will go 'missing' or worse if she were to squeal even to save her own butt. And besides, the national security excuse is already in place and being shoved down our throats by the media...the fix and the cover-up of the whole sorted mess is firmly in place...just saying.
