Out of control government. Why would a racist, violent, dangerous organization like the Nation of islam be receiving taxpayer dollars in the first place? “The federal government should not use taxpayer dollars to subsidize one of the most infamous hate groups in the United States,” said Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.). “That’s why I’m demanding your department immediately cease all contracts with the Nation of Islam and prohibit it from receiving any contracts in the future.”
Congressman calls for halting federal funds to Nation of Islam
By Jackson Richman, JNS, January 8, 2019:
Story continues below advertisement(January 8, 2019 / JNS) Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.) called on the U.S. Department of Justice to end funding for the Nation of Islam.
The Washington Examiner first reported this development and the funding of “at least $364,500 in contracts and awards” from the DOJ and the U.S. Bureau of Prisons between fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2019.
“The federal government should not use taxpayer dollars to subsidize one of the most infamous hate groups in the United States,” said Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.). “That’s why I’m demanding your department immediately cease all contracts with the Nation of Islam and prohibit it from receiving any contracts in the future.”
“The fact that hard-earned American tax dollars are being funded to this extremist group is not only unacceptable, it’s downright immoral,” the congressman wrote in a letter on Monday to Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker.
“As you may know, the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center have designated the Nation of Islam as a hate group for its racist and anti-Semitic beliefs,” he continued. “Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan has used hateful rhetoric pronouncing that ‘Hitler was a very great man’ and routinely denounces Jews and white people as ‘evil.’ ”
The funding was allocated towards “Nation of Islam religious services,” “Nation of Islam spiritual guide services,” “Nation of Islam study services” and other programming administered by the group’s leaders, according to Bureau of Prisons records.
“The federal government should not use taxpayer dollars to subsidize one of the most infamous hate groups in the United States,” said Buchanan. “That’s why I’m demanding your department immediately cease all contracts with the Nation of Islam and prohibit it from receiving any contracts in the future.”
The Bureau of Prisons declined to provide specifics to The Washington Examiner about the funding, citing a regulation that federal correctional institutions “may contract with representatives of faith groups in the community to provide specific religious services which the chaplain cannot personally deliver due to, ordinarily, religious prescriptions or ecclesiastical constraints to which the chaplain adheres.”
“The Nation of Islam considers whites to be devils and aspires to break off a blacks-only country from the United States. It’s an ugly phenomenon that minimally overlaps with the normative religion of Islam,” Middle East Forum president Daniel Pipes told JNS. “It’s not exactly something the American taxpayer should be subsidizing.”
The Republican Jewish Coalition, the National Council of Israel and the Endowment for Middle East Truth (EMET) commended Buchanan’s letter.
“We share Congressman Buchanan’s interest in getting answers to the troubling questions raised by the Examiner’s report,” RJC spokesperson Neil Strauss told JNS.
“Because we believe that the Trump administration agrees with Rep. Buchanan that the federal government ‘should not use taxpayer dollars to subsidize one of the most infamous hate groups in the United States,’ we are confident that these serious concerns will be addressed promptly and definitively,” he added.
“We completely support the efforts of Congressman Buchanan and share his outrage,” National Council of Young Israel president Farley Weiss told JNS. “We supported the [FIRST STEP Act] and see contracting with this anti-Semitic organization as being the antithesis of rehabbing prisoners. We call for such funding to be stopped.”
“EMET applauds Rep. Vern Buchanan’s call on the DOJ to stop funding the highly anti-Semitic, racist group, the Nation of Islam. Under the leadership of renowned anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam regularly disseminates conspiracy theories about Jews and the State of Israel,” the organization’s founder and president, Sarah Stern, told JNS.
“In one instance, Farrakhan said, ‘Satanic Jews have infected the whole world with poison and deceit’ and are his ‘enemy.’ In another, he exclaimed, ‘I am not an anti-Semite, I am anti-termite,’ comparing Jews to sub-humans, indeed to parasitic insects,” she continued.
“It is outrageous that the U.S. government would fund such a despicable group to propagate its hateful rhetoric, and as Rep. Buchanan has expressed in its letter, federal funding for the Nation of Islam must be halted immediately,” she added.
Zionist Organization of America president Mort Klein echoed the above sentiments: “Rep. Buchanan is correct –– why on Earth would the federal government give taxpayer dollars to the Nation of Islam, a group that has been identified for decades as a vicious hate group, led by the notorious black supremacist and anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan?”
He continued, “Would we ever fund a program under the auspices of racist David Duke? Of course not!”
“It is irrelevant that the money allegedly goes towards the NOI giving religious studies for prison inmates,” added Klein. “And this funding only strengthens and gives legitimacy to Farrakhan’s bigoted organization.”
He also mentioned, “In [light] of the fact that the NOI is a hate group, one should have the gravest concern as to what the NOI teaches prison inmates. In any event, taxpayer funding of NOI should cease at once.”

TROUBLE IN THE MIDDLE EAST
LEAKED AUDIO: OBAMA WANTED ISIS TO GROW
Kerry also admitted U.S. helped arm jihadists

WND EXCLUSIVE
BLOWBACK! U.S. TRAINED ISLAMISTS WHO JOINED ISIS
Secret Jordan base was site of covert aid to insurgents targeting Assad
Published: 06/17/2014 at 10:16 AM author AARON KLEIN
[EDITOR’S NOTE: Since publication, this story has been corrected to clarify that the fighters trained in Jordan became members of the ISIS after their training.]
JERUSALEM – Syrian rebels who would later join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIS, were trained in 2012 by U.S. instructors working at a secret base in Jordan, according to informed Jordanian officials.
The officials said dozens of future ISIS members were trained at the time as part of covert aid to the insurgents targeting the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Syria. The officials said the training was not meant to be used for any future campaign in Iraq.
The Jordanian officials said all ISIS members who received U.S. training to fight in Syria were first vetted for any links to extremist groups like al-Qaida.
In February 2012, WND was first to report the U.S., Turkey and Jordan were running a training base for the Syrian rebels in the Jordanian town of Safawi in the country’s northern desert region.
That report has since been corroborated by numerous other media accounts.
Last March, the German weekly Der Spiegel reported Americans were training Syrian rebels in Jordan.
Quoting what it said were training participants and organizers, Der Spiegel reported it was not clear whether the Americans worked for private firms or were with the U.S. Army, but the magazine said some organizers wore uniforms. The training in Jordan reportedly focused on use of anti-tank weaponry.
The German magazine reported some 200 men received the training over the previous three months amid U.S. plans to train a total of 1,200 members of the Free Syrian Army in two camps in the south and the east of Jordan.
Britain’s Guardian newspaper also reported last March that U.S. trainers were aiding Syrian rebels in Jordan along with British and French instructors.
Reuters reported a spokesman for the U.S. Defense Department declined immediate comment on the German magazine’s report. The French foreign ministry and Britain’s foreign and defense ministries also would not comment to Reuters.
The Jordanian officials spoke to WND amid concern the sectarian violence in Iraq will spill over into their own country as well as into Syria.
ISIS previously posted a video on YouTube threatening to move on Jordan and “slaughter” King Abdullah, whom they view as an enemy of Islam.
WND reported last week that, according to Jordanian and Syrian regime sources, Saudi Arabia has been arming the ISIS and that the Saudis are a driving force in supporting the al-Qaida-linked group.
WND further reported that, according to a Shiite source in contact with a high official in the government of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, the Obama administration has been aware for two months that the al-Qaida-inspired group that has taken over two Iraqi cities and now is threatening Baghdad also was training fighters in Turkey.
The source told WND that at least one of the training camps of the group Iraq of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Syria, the ISIS, is in the vicinity of Incirlik Air Base near Adana, Turkey, where American personnel and equipment are located.
He called Obama “an accomplice” in the attacks that are threatening the Maliki government the U.S. helped establish through the Iraq war.
The source said that after training in Turkey, thousands of ISIS fighters went to Iraq by way of Syria to join the effort to establish an Islamic caliphate subject to strict Islamic law, or Shariah.

I can replace Trump, Nation of Islam & so on. I deserve the money, power & more, all.
Farakhan says whites are devils but don’t calls white unjust Muhammad who started the global African slave-trade enslaving Africans devil instead he glorifies him. Neither does he call white Arabs who today enslave Africans devils, instead he acts as if he never heard about that slavery.
He says Jews would lie but he doesn’t speak truth, instead he spreads fantasies about an unproven deity, afterlife & so on & hides the truth about unjust Muhammad & the Muhammadist tyranny.
Unjust Muhammad said his Messiah would return when stones & trees would lure Muhammadists to unjustly kill Jews.
Africans are enslaved, castrated, divorced, beaten & killed today in Saudi Arabia & enslaved in UAE, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, Lebanon, Bahrain, North-Sudan, Libya (surge), Algeria (surge), Mauritania (20 percent), Niger, Mali, Somalia, Nigeria in emulation of unjust Muhammad who started the global African slave-trade by saying his unproven deity had turned Africans black so Africans’ descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks.
‘African’ & ‘slave’ both mean “abid” in Arabic.
The unjust Muhammad-law commands death for anyone saying unjust Muhammad was not white.
Unjust Muhammad’s 6 year-old child bride was allegedly blonde.
The mythological first person Adam in Muhammadist theism is divided in 2 sides, the mythological deity strucks Adam’s left shoulder & blacks emerge as ants to perdition & then the right shoulder & whites emerge as ants to paradise.
Unjust Muhammad if he existed, said in a discussion that in paradise blacks would had become white.
Farakhan’s hero Hitler killed Africans in death-camps & viewed the unjust Muhammadism as ultimate Nazi religion that as he told his architect & minister of war Albert Speer matches the German temperament better & many Nazi criminals openly converted to the unjust Muhammadism after the war & worked for the Egyptian Muhammadist tyranny under Nasser or in Syria.
Unjust Muhammad burned people for not praying, crucified critics, commanded the lifelong torture of clitodirectomy, forced theism on anyone, raped, tortured, declared war on atheists, Jews & all other Non-muhammadists & ‘kissed’ penises of boys & sucked boys’ tongues & lips.

What other surprises did Obama leave for us?
WHY is the Nation of Islam allowed to function in OUR country?
Notice the DEMS and RINOS had no problem funding this…
.
The best place to go is the PRISONS! People are angry, dejected and Islam will give them purpose for their hate and violence. Years ago, Charles W. Colson warned us about Islam infiltration……… May he be in heaven away from evil.

Deed State Democrats and RINO’s are BUSILY engaged in SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY.
Seditious Conspiracy Law and Legal Definition
Seditious conspiracy is a crime that is committed when two or more persons conspire to forcibly: a. destroy or overthrow the U.S. government; b. create obstacles or prevent the execution of U.S. laws; c. oppose the authority of the U.S. government; or d. unlawfully possess or take property that belong to the nation. The first amendment of the U.S. constitution protects people who have differing ideas from rest of the population. But these rights are not available to persons who make threats. The U.S. Supreme Court has made it clear that free speech extends to protests, the exchange of ideas, and points in debate, but it does not include direct threats to a person’s safety.
The following is an example of a federal statute on seditious conspiracy:
18 USCS § 2384. Seditious Conspiracy.
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

When I worked at a state prison in TX, hate groups and gangs were labeled “security threat groups” were automatically placed in “ad seg” or administrative segregation, meaning isolation. They were never placed in GP or the general population where they could spread their crap.
These included Mexican Mafia, Aryan Circle, Tango, and the like.

Taxpayer dollars should not be used to subsidize ANY self proclaimed “religious” group.

No I meant any self identified religious group. I include Catholics and Lutherans in that. General taxpayer dollars should not subsidize any group calling itself a religion. The line that separated a cult from a religion is blurry.

No, it isn’t blurry. If a religion strays from Biblical principals, it’s a cult. Catholicism is in that category, without doubt, so is Islam, Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and others.

…Catholics??…self identified??
Even as an Atheist I know the Roman Catholic Church originally was #1. All the rest were offshoots.
Now “The Church Of England” is truly a bastard offshoot. Formed by an adulterous King Of England.
The Church of England was formed when Henry VIII refused to acknowledge the Pope in Rome, as he would not allow him to remarry, and declared himself (self identified) the Head of Church in England. The Roman Catholic Church continues to acknowledge the Pope as supreme leader of the Church on earth (St Peter being the first pope directly established (not self identified) by Jesus) while the King or Queen of England (self identified ) is viewed as the head of the Church of England.
The split was more political than theological and upheld by force, much like islam is today (also self identified) by the creator, a sleazy arab pedofile in the desert.

Congrats to Republican Vernon Buchanan!
CNN will not run this story because it is positive about a member of the Republican Party halting American dollars from going to the Nation of Islam a front for an anti-semitic organization with Farrakhan as its leader.
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan are Obama’s friends – both bigoted anti-semitic fraudulent organizations that promote hatred with US Dollars.
Under Obama the deceiver vicious bigoted organizations like Nation of Islam were funded.
GOOD BYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE TO NATION OF ISLAM AND FARRAKHAN THE LOW-LIFE SCUMBAG LEADER!
Lets see CNN run this story!

I recall this from when Obama was in office. There was a story and a picture of a Muslim leader leaving a prison in some Northern state…..the story was how Obama was funding Muslim Imams going into prisons to turn people to Islam….AND, he was being paid by the taxpayers….this has been known for a very long time…..
Also, CAIR receives Federal money….Southern Poverty Law Center was one of Obama’s favorite recipients of Federal tax dollars…he gave them a taxpayer office in D.C. and said they were helping to “find and expose extremists” …..I remember this clearly…and said, “You creep! The SPLC IS AN EXTREMIST ORGANIZATION!”
At one point he brought in UN police to ferret out bigotry toward Islam…I remember being enraged that he would bring in foreign police to America…
Back when he was running the first time I remember an interview on Good Morning America where he said, “A President should have his own police force that answered only to him.” I was shocked. I said to the TV screen….”What?! You idiot! What country do you think you’re in? Presidents don’t have their own police force!”…I knew then we were in big trouble if this Marxist Muslim got into office…. I was right.
I used to yell at the television a lot back them.
