FBI Raids Home of Obama Associate & Radical AAAN Leader in Terrorism Sweep
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, September 28, 2010, 6:10 AM
Last Friday FBI agents raided the homes of far left activists in Chicago and Minneapolis who are linked to the FARC and Islamic radicals as part of a terrorism investigation.
The home of radical Hatem Abudayyeh in Chicago was raided in the terror sweep.

The AP reported on the raid in Chicago.
FBI agents in Chicago took a laptop and documents from the home of a Palestinian-American anti-war activist in an attempt to silence his advocacy, an attorney said Sunday.
The FBI on Friday searched eight addresses in Minneapolis and Chicago, including the home of Hatem Abudayyeh, who is the executive director of the Arab American Action Network, attorney Jim Fennerty told The Associated Press.
“The government’s trying to quiet activists,” Fennerty said. “This case is really scary.”
More than half a dozen agents went to Abudayyeh’s home on Friday and took any documents containing the word “Palestine,” Fennerty said.
Abudayyeh, a U.S. citizen whose parent immigrated from Palestine, wasn’t home at the time of the raid because he was at a hospital with his mother who is battling liver cancer, Fennerty said.
Chicago activist Thomas Burke said he was served a grand jury subpoena that requested records of any payments to Abudayyeh or his group. “The warrants are seeking evidence in support of an ongoing Joint Terrorism Task Force investigation into activities concerning the material support of terrorism,” said Steve Warfield, spokesman for the FBI in Minneapolis, where six additional homes were searched Friday… Burke said he received a grand jury subpoena requesting records of payments to Abudayyeh’s organization as well as two groups among the State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
There’s more…
Hatem Abudayyeh is the executive director of the Arab American Action Network (AAAN). Hatem Abudayyeh has been with the Arab American Action Network (AAAN) since 1999, and was appointed Executive Director in 2003. The Arab American Action Network was founded by former PLO operative and close Obama family friend Rashid Khalidi. Obama was a director of the Woods Fund from 1994 through 2001, when the board approved a $40,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network.
In 2003 Barack Obama was an honored guest at a dinner sponsored by the AAAN for former PLO-operative Rashid Khalidi. During the dinner a video was taken that shows Barack Obama celebrating with members of this Palestinian group who are openly hostile towards Israel. Barack Obama even gave a toast to a Rashid Khalidi at this going away party. The LA Times will not release the video from this Jew-bashing dinner.
Here’s a recent quote by Hatem Abudayyeh:
“The U.S. and Israel will continue to describe Hamas, Hezbollah and the other Palestinian and Lebanese resistance organizations as ‘terrorists,’ but the real terrorists are the governments and military forces of the U.S. and Israel. The vast majority of the world sees and understands this, and are in full support of Lebanese, Palestinian and worldwide resistance to Israel and the U.S.’s naked aggression, war, imperialism and occupation. As we have seen in Iraq, where the resistance is standing up to U.S. power, the U.S. military is not indomitable.”
Last Friday the FBI raided the home of AAAN leader Hatem Abudayyeh. He is Barack Obama’s friend.
It should be noted… FARC terror leader Mono Jojoy was killed in an attack on September 22. Several computers were seized by authorities after the Colombian jungle attack. The FBI raided the homes of the FARC terrror sympathizers two days after Mojoy was killed.

Every day, they’re getting closer to raiding a particular home on Pennsylvania Ave. in DC., it seems.
Fingers crossed.

olm commented:
They think this is really scary huh?
Well, wah, f ing wah. What’s really scary is that we can have staunch Palestinian supporters in this country who are anti Isreal and frankly anti American and can spout their hate unchecked.
Then we have a major newspaper sitting on a tape of an anti Isreal party and that is AOK.
I’ll tell you what, why don’t we let the FBI investigate and if you are all so innocent nothing will come from it.

The FBI wouldn’t do this unless the order came from the top.

There won’t be any raid on our WH any time soon. Eric Holder and the Department of Social Justice will ensure that. Holder loves terrorists and those that support them. FLAN, GITMO, etc. My friends, WE are Holder’s terrorists. Obama is safe and sound in the arms of Eric Holder.

This explains why Rahm Emanuel upped his departure date ahead of the Nov 2 elections. I hope they look into shady home mortgage refinancing by AAAN members. One of the causes to the housing bubble sub prime scam was domestic muslims raking off equity loans to fund Hamas. Here is an AAAN web page showing Tariq speaking at the “Never Silent Cafe” making a pitch to raise money for guns. They believe Palestinians are dying because they do not have a fair share of guns. This terror recruitment event was put on by a youth group posing as performance entertainment. …. http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs066/1101996057236/archive/1102573872953.html

And next time you read a Zogby poll, remember the connections here too.
Founded in 1985, the Arab American Institute is a non-profit membership organization based in Washington D.C. that focuses on the issues and interests of Arab-Americans nationwide. James Zogby, brother of pollster John Zogby, is founder and president of the AAI.
The organization seeks to increase the visibility of Arab-American involvement and candidates in the American political system. It issues “Action Alerts” to its members much like the Anti-defamation League when issues of particular concern arise. According to its website the organization develops policy initiatives much in the manner of a think tank and encourages its members to contact Members of Congress.
James J. Zogby (born 1945) is the author of Arab Voices[2](Palgrave Macmillan, October 2010) and the founder and president of the Arab American Institute (AAI), a Washington, D.C.-based organization which serves as a political and policy research arm of the Arab American community. He is a senior analyst with his brother’s polling firm, Zogby International, and is a lecturer and scholar on Middle East issues. He is also member of the Executive Committee of the Democratic National Committee.

All this was readily and easily available before the election. More is there to be found. I call McCain a coward for not even attempting to release the information that he had. It was all there! The cover up is amazing. Now the real question, why? Why the cover up and the refusal by the establishment in both parties to get to the bottom of his BIRTH? WHY? what could the reason possible be? Get to the bottom of why, and we will go along way towards fixing the problem.

ps re: bg #32
[In 1933 the German establishment thought it could use Hitler to restore a modicum of order to the confused and confusing Weimar Republic. In fact, Hitler did strengthen the German establishment, but not exactly in the way the bankers and businessmen had wanted; and now, fifty years later, it is clear who was using whom. Nevertheless, the Western World did not complain in 1933 because Hitler, though a fascist and a totalitarian, was seen, like countless American puppet dictators today, as someone who leaves the established order in place.]
Young Obama Wrote Article Blaming
America For ‘Growing Threat of War’
[If Obama still has this sensibility, he could be poised to take American foreign policy sharply to the left, notwithstanding the centrist foreign policy team he has assembled. Moreover, since Obama didn’t recognize the Soviet menace during the Cold War and blamed the possibility of war entirely on the United States, there’s good reason to think that today he could lack the moral clarity needed to fight radical Islam.]

re: [No wonder the Muslims are surging

oh they have ample help indeed..
[Abdul-Malik also makes no bones about discussing how the election of President Obama is a step forward in the project of Islamization and the long term goal of Islamist domination which falls right in lock-step with that of the Muslim Brotherhood as revealed in their manifesto.]
just a sampling:
Obama’s top legal pick: Sharia law could appy in U.S. courts
Obama’s pro-sharia Legal Advisor Confirmed
Obama’s Ambassador Designee to the OIC Rashad Hussain’s supports views of Muslim Brotherhood and OIC, including sharia law
sort of summary
Follow the Shariah
links @ links..
sorry, but i couldn’t possibly post all the links linking Obama’s support & enlisted supporters of Sharia Law in 10 posts, never mind one or two.. but one can easily do research and hopefully find what’s left to be found via the slowly but surely censored net so far.. *sigh*
btw, it has become almost impossible for me to separate Marxists from Islamists, as they are sincerely working in conjunction with one another towards the same goal (albeit’s assured Marxism will eventually lose out to Islamism in the finals so to speak)..

How about the Weather Underground, and William Ayers? Are they going to raid his home too. Barack Hussein Obama is working for both of them. This is who is fighting to keep his Kenyan birth certificate hidden. Every member of Congress now has it. They received it by certified mail, at the end of August. Obama will spend the rest of his days in prison, with God’s help. Yes, you hear that Barry, with our creator’s help. You left that out again the other day I heard. Hearing that must be like showing a silver cross to a vampire, right? Tell your friends Axelrod, and Emanuel, they can leave, but they can’t hide. They knew all along, and helped. So did San Francisco Nan, aka Stretch. We the people won’t rest until you are locked up for life. Your wife too.

re: McCain
God Bless him, but even when i was a Democrat, i couldn’t stand Kennedy or Kerry, ergo, it perplexed me as to how people could keep on voting them in time after time, and sorry to say, the same goes for McCain..
i believe he wa in on the Obama deal, i’m also beginning to believe we the people only think we have the power of the vote.. it is my belief that Bush not only threw a huge wrench into the works by going into Iraq, but when he won the 2000 election, hence, why the progressives will never let it die (so to speak).. i mean, com-on now, Al Gore was supposed to be the lead in to the BIG KUMBAYA SAVIOR OF THE PLANET, not Bush..
