Syria: Extremists Or An Ally?

Journalist Lindsey Snell recounts her harrowing experience of being kidnapped in Syria by the al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra.

The man who acted as her translator and emissary during her captivity, Mohammed Al-Ahmad, is now the Syrian opposition’s top diplomat (chargé d’affaires) to the United States.

How did Syria become an ally after many years as a hotbed for radicals and Islamic extremists? Here’s more from Natali Morris on Redacted News.

Republicans Can Hold Senate

– President Trump and Republicans are heading into the weekend with some of their best Senate news in months. A new roundup shows Republicans leading in **six competitive Senate races**, with Michigan and New Hampshire tied and Minnesota separated by just one point. Democrats still have paths to victory, but their road to taking the Senate looks much harder than many headlines suggest.

– The biggest takeaway is that Republicans are not just defending red seats—they are forcing Democrats to spend money and attention in states they hoped would be safer. That matters with early voting starting and turnout becoming more important than national polling averages.

– Democrats also had rough moments from two high-profile candidates. In Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed faced intense criticism after refusing to clearly denounce Hamas, Hezbollah, and al-Qaeda during a CNN appearance. Later, a Democratic strategist admitted on CNN that current polling may actually be **underestimating Republican strength**.

– In Texas, James Talarico has reportedly been absent from the campaign trail for roughly two weeks during one of the most important stretches of the race. Even Democratic strategists are calling the campaign strange and warning the disappearance could cost him momentum.

– Trump may also have a new face for the White House press room. Katie Zacharia is reportedly being considered for press secretary, and she brings years of media experience, strong communication skills, and an openly pro-Trump background.

– Finally, Barack Obama’s presidential center is dealing with workplace and contractor controversies. Employees are organizing over complaints about heavier workloads, reduced benefits, frozen promotions, and compensation concerns, while several contractors have also fought over unpaid invoices.

– The larger political story is simple: Republicans suddenly have multiple reasons for optimism, while Democrats are being forced to defend more territory, more candidates, and more internal problems just weeks before Election Day. Here’s more from Stephen Gardner.

Al-Qaeda Sleeper Cell Of Dogs

Why are Muslims so often involved in violent attacks?

Are they related to pit bulls — the al-Qaeda Sleeper Cells of Dogs? Here’s more from stand-up comedian Arynne Wexler.

9-11: A 25-Year Retrospective

This week on New World Next Week:

  • The Khalid Sheikh Mohammed  trial date is set;
  • President Donald Trump lifts sanctions on Al Qaeda;
  • And the generated outrage occurs just in time for the 911 anniversary.

Al-Qaeda Lunacy In New Jersey

I sat down with Vicki Paladino, a Republican Congresswoman from New York City, to discuss the election that’s going on in New Jersey.

Democrat Adam Hamawy just won the 12th District, and he has some concerning ties. Paladino says if Hamaway wins, an al-Qaeda associate will get national security clearance.

Has the Democratic Party lost its mind? In race after race, they are advancing truly obnoxious and un-American hopefuls.

The easiest solution: Don’t vote for any of bums! If they are Democratic, give them the short shrift, the same as you would give Hamawy or Graham Platner. Here’s more from Glenn Beck.

How Somalis Back Terrorists

Here’s a look at one of the worst aspects of the rampant Somali fraud in Minnesota. Namely, Somalis now living in the U.S. are sending bundles of cash to al Shabaab,  a Somalia-based terrorist outfit affiliated with al Qaeda.

Here, Fox News 9 in Minneapolis-St. Paul reports on these deadly transactions. Shipments are being sent on a virtual weekly basis via plane from the Minneapolis Airport. Hawalas, a traditional, clan-based system of Somali money  lenders. typically get involved in dispersing the money. Funds stolen from childcare services, Medicaid and other federal programs are being channeled across Somalia, with heavy payments to the southern Somali district where al-Shababb is dominant.

The report suggests these payments have occurred since 2013, so they actually began when Barack Obama was still President. Glenn Kerns, a former detective with the Seattle Police Force, says hundreds of millions of dollars have been diverted. “The amount of money was staggering,” Kerns said.

Much of it is intended for relatives of those Somalis living in the United States. But al-Shabaab takes its cut of the payments, so this is an Islamic terrorist group that we’re essentially funding. Here’s more in a report from The Gateway Pundit.

Petraeus, Terrorist Almost Kiss

Gen. David Petraeus and the terrorist Abu Mohammad al-Jolani trade everyday pleasantries as they discuss torture. It’s business as usual in Syria.

Do they almost kiss? Is this the making of a budding bromance, or just an exchange of handjobs? Here’s more from Mischa Paullin.

The 9/11 Files: CIA Gone Wrong!

A former FBI agent who was embedded in the CIA’s Bin Laden unit, Mark Rossini, claims the CIA was fully aware that the 9/11 hijackers were in the United States planning an attack.

Rather than inform the FBI, the CIA tried to recruit two of the hijackers for a “false-flag” operation, which quickly spiraled out of control. The failed mission raises urgent questions about government secrecy, intelligence failures, and what really happened before 9/11. Here’s the first installment in a new series from Tucker Carlson.

 

Hunters Become The Hunted

Are there more than 1,000 Al Qaida-trained killers in sleeper cells within the United States? That’s what Sarah Adams, a former CIA officer with extensive training in the Middle East, tells The Shawn Ryan Show.

In all likelihood, she says, there are more than 1,000 of these jihadists planning attacks on the homeland.  Fears of reprisals have grown after the U.S. military attack on nuclear sites in Iran. Will Iran or its Isis allies stage a surprise attack?

And We Know addresses the issue, while also discussing how gold will destroy the Federal Reserve. Have the hunters become the hunted? Without a doubt, the storm is upon us.

The Next 9/11: Close At Hand?

Former CIA intelligence analyst and targeter Sarah Adams joins Glenn Beck to warn that the US has “dropped the ball” in recent years when it comes to protecting America from enemies like Al Qaeda and ISIS.

In fact, she predicts that at least 8,000 Al Qaeda and ISIS members have already come across our borders and are waiting to team up for the next 9/11.
