Former DHS Agent: Obama Is Protecting Islamic Terrorists

Department of Homeland Security Veteran Philip Haney found it ironic in the extreme — not to mention infuriating — that after the Underwear Bomber was stopped only by his Third World hygiene from blowing up an airliner full of innocent people on Christmas Day 2009, Obama blamed it on the intelligence community not connecting dots. Meanwhile, in order to stand with the Muslims as he promised, Obama has been methodically erasing those dots:

After leaving my 15 year career at DHS, I can no longer be silent about the dangerous state of America’s counter-terror strategy, our leaders’ willingness to compromise the security of citizens for the ideological rigidity of political correctness—and, consequently, our vulnerability to devastating, mass-casualty attack.

Just before that Christmas Day attack, in early November 2009, I was ordered by my superiors at the Department of Homeland Security to delete or modify several hundred records of individuals tied to designated Islamist terror groups like Hamas from the important federal database, the Treasury Enforcement Communications System (TECS). These types of records are the basis for any ability to “connect dots.” Every day, DHS Customs and Border Protection officers watch entering and exiting many individuals associated with known terrorist affiliations, then look for patterns. Enforcing a political scrubbing of records of Muslims greatly affected our ability to do that. Even worse, going forward, my colleagues and I were prohibited from entering pertinent information into the database.

This does not so much prevent authorities from capturing terrorists after they have killed, as prevent them from stopping the attacks from occurring in the first place.

As the number of successful and attempted Islamic terrorist attacks on America increased, the type of information that the Obama administration ordered removed from travel and national security databases was the kind of information that, if properly assessed, could have prevented subsequent domestic Islamist attacks like the ones committed by Faisal Shahzad (May 2010), Detroit “honor killing” perpetrator Rahim A. Alfetlawi (2011); Amine El Khalifi, who plotted to blow up the U.S. Capitol (2012); Dzhokhar or Tamerlan Tsarnaev who conducted the Boston Marathon bombing (2013); Oklahoma beheading suspect Alton Nolen (2014); or Muhammed Yusuf Abdulazeez, who opened fire on two military installations in Chattanooga, Tennessee (2015).

It is very possible that Americans are dead who would not be if not for Obama’s commitment to defending Islam in the name of political correctness.

Imagine if during WWII the country was infested with Nazi spies who were killing people and were deliberately protected by the president. He would have been removed from office and tried for treason.
