Obama Freeing Terrorists From Gitmo Has Proven A Bad Idea As Many Have Gone On To Commit Mass Murder In Acts Of Terrorism


U.S. President Barack Obama

For years the Judiciary Report pushed a proposed plan to close the notorious Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba, owned by the U.S. government. Gitmo should be returned to the Cuban people and used for something better, as it is their land. Many serious human rights violations, such as grotesque acts of torture, were being committed at Gitmo by the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama that go against all human decency, in what was a slap in the face of humanity. It was barbarism in acts no better than those terrorists have been committing against innocent people.

In 2009 the Judiciary Report wrote that terrorists housed in Gitmo should not be freed, but transferred to a suitable, austere, maximum security prison in America, customized for such incarceration (Alcatraz would have been a very viable option). President Barack Obama disagreed and freed a number of dangerous terrorists, in what has since proven deadly for innocent civilians, who were the victims of acts of Jihad. Many reports from mainstream and independent news outlets state the terrorists Obama freed went right back to terrorism and have since killed many innocent people.

This is a tragedy that should not have occurred. However, the government knew before closing Gitmo that many detainees were returning to terrorism, but freed them anyway (In 7 Released From Gitmo Go Back To Terrorism). The number has risen even higher since the closure of Gitmo, with mainstream reports indicating 1 in 3 released have returned to terrorism.

It is incidents such as these that makes the American people question Obama’s dedication to fighting terrorism (Obama Administration Being Slammed By Americans For Refusing To Label San Bernardino Killings Terrorism). That and actually arming Al Qaeda and ISIS terrorists in a very unwise maneuver (Obama Administration Loses $500 Million Dollars In Taxpayer Money As Rebels They Trained Give U.S. Weapons And Equipment To Al Qaeda In Syria).

I do not comprehend the sense of letting dangerous criminals go. I also do not see the wisdom in Obama’s FBI allowing people in America to communicate with terrorists and become radicalized (FBI Knew About One Of The San Bernardino Terrorists In Advance But Allowed Her To Roam Free In America). There are several well documented incidents where the FBI sat back and watched as people in America communicated with terrorists, became radicalized and then went on to commit acts of terrorism that killed dozens of innocent people.

Under U.S. law, knowingly supporting a terrorist(s) is illegal (The FBI Is Locking Up People Over Retweets On Twitter). Yet the FBI keeps allowing this to happen, rather than picking up offenders in a timely fashion and many innocent people have paid a terrible price for it with their lives when deadly terrorists acts transpired.

Ex-Guantanamo detainee now an al Qaeda leader in Yemen

15-12-08 - Ibrahim al Qosi, an ex-Guantanamo detainee, now serves as a leader and spokesman for al Qaeda in Yemen. Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) released a new video featuring a former Guantanamo detainee, Ibrahim Qosi, who is also known as Sheikh Khubayb al Sudani.

In July 2010, Qosi plead guilty to charges of conspiracy and material support for terrorism before a military commission. His plea was part of a deal in which he agreed to cooperate with prosecutors during his remaining time in US custody. Qosi was transferred to his home country of Sudan two years later, in July 2012. Qosi joined AQAP in 2014 and became one of its leaders. Qosi and other AQAP commanders discussed their time waging jihad at length in the video, entitled “Guardians of Sharia.”...

Qosi’s appearance marks the first time he has starred in jihadist propaganda since he left Guantanamo. His personal relationship with Osama bin Laden and time in American detention make him an especially high-profile spokesman. A leaked Joint Task Force Guantanamo (JTF-GTMO) threat assessment and other declassified files documented Qosi’s extensive al Qaeda dossier. In the threat assessment, dated Nov. 15, 2007, US intelligence analysts described Qosi as a “high” risk to the US and its allies. “Detainee is an admitted veteran jihadist with combat experience beginning in 1990 and it is assessed he would engage in hostilities against US forces, if released,” JTF-GTMO found...

Change In Relations Between America And Cuba Underway (Video)


U.S. diplomats met with government officials in Cuba in an effort to normalize relations between the two sovereign nations. U.S. President Barack Obama recently eased restrictions between the two nations, which will open up trade and tourism. The 55-year-old embargo can be completely lifted by the U.S. Congress via legislative measures.

Polls reveal a majority of Americans are in favor of this move, as are Cubans on the island. However, there is some opposition to an official decision of this order. The U.S. government seeks to open an embassy in Havana, Cuba. The Cuba government also seeks to open an embassy in Washington, D.C. It would mark the beginning of a new era between the nations.

President Barack Obama Slams Jay-Z Again (Video)



U.S. President Barack Obama attended the White House Correspondents Dinner this past weekend, making jokes and taking jabs at people, who have offended or upset him. On the list was Rush Limbaugh and rapper Jay-Z, who doesn't know how to keep his big mouth shut.

Obama clowned Jay-Z, mimicking his own lyrics from the 2004 song "99 Problems" in stating, "Some things are beyond my control. For example, this whole controversy about Jay-Z going to Cuba - it's unbelievable. I've got 99 problems and now Jay-Z is one." Ironically, Jay-Z ridiculous lyric states "I got 99 problems but a bit*h ain't one." Is Obama subliminally calling Jay-Z a "bit*h." More like a snitch, as he threw the president under the bus. Read on...


Obama at White House Correspondents Dinner 

As written on the site previously, Hollywood "illuminati" member, Jay-Z, penned an ill-advised, ignorant song entitled "Open Letter" about national criticism he received for going to Cuba for his 5th Anniversary, with dimwitted wife, singer, Beyonce Knowles.

I love Cubans, especially Cuban Americans I've grown up with, who have been good to me. So for the life of me I can't fathom why Jay-Z opted to go to Cuba and offend his fellow citizens, rather than wait for a time when democracy reaches the island nation's shores (and I do believe it can happen, as progress is being made).

But Jay-Z and Beyonce took the trip to show they could and when a backlash ensued in America, rather than be adults and own up to it, they tried to pin the blame for everything on Obama, the President of the United States (of all people) stating he gave them "White House clearance."


Obama said at the dinner he is taking a page out of his wife's book to distract from negative press, by getting a new hairstyle (not a good look LOL)

Then to top up the scandal, Jay-Z tried to drag the Office of the Presidency down to his level by stating in the song, Obama told him to "chill" or his behavior is going to get him "impeached." Yes, Jay-Z mentioned the words "Obama" and "impeached" in the same sentence. With friends like these, who needs enemies. For years Jay-Z has possessed an exaggerated sense of importance (keyword being "possessed" - blasted devil worshipper).

I warned two years ago in this column, when photos were released of Jay-Z sitting in the President's chair at the White House, that it was not a good idea and trouble would come from it. Well, there you go. Sorry, but the President broke Jay-Z bad and this is apart of the end result of embracing an egotistical braggart with no discretion.




Jay-Z has no sense of decorum, humility or understanding of protocol and to allow a man with such serious character flaws into your circle was a serious risk and liability (as I have stated all along). Lord only knows what else Jay-Z has seen and heard being around Obama that will come flying out of his indiscreet mouth one day for another round of embarrassment.


Side Bar: Go on Jay-Z, "brush off your shoulders" cause Obama's just hatin' on you for your looks (suppressing laughter) illegally accumulated wealth (see criminal copyright infringement) and your intellect (twit).

President Obama Slams Jay-Z And Beyonce In New Interview (Video)

Obama Brings Jay-Z And Beyonce's Egos Down To Earth Bursting Their Bubble

 

Barack Obama

Publicity seeking couple, Jay-Z and Beyonce, have run afoul of the President of the United States. So much so, President Obama slammed Jay-Z and Beyonce in an interview with the Today Show, regarding the couple's trip to Cuba they tried to pin on him when Cuban Americans became outraged at the violation of the embargo.

Jay-Z had stated in the silly song "Open Letter" that Obama and the White House gave him and Beyonce clearance to go to Cuba violating the embargo, then the president told him to chill lest he get him "impeached" from office via the trip.



Dimwitted Jay-Z and Beyonce

However, during the interview, when the president was questioned about his involvement in their trip, Obama told the Today Show, "My understanding is I think they went through a group that organizes these educational trips down to Cuba. You know, this is not something the White House was involved with. We've got better things to do."

Yea, that was a diss. Ignoramus Jay-Z lacks discretion and that's something people in political circles dislike. He and Beyonce really believe their hype and think what they do is the most important thing in the world. They are not on the level of a head of state. Are they insane. Fame is a terrible drug and a great deceiver of those who possess it.

Jay-Z And Beyonce Are Being Slammed On Blogs For Bringing Scandal On Obama


Barack Obama

A number of blogs with feedback comments reveal black people are angry with rapper Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce Knowles for bringing scandal on U.S. President Barack Obama, via their trip to Cuba, violating the embargo. Jay-Z and Knowles are being labeled self-centered, egotistical people, who believe their own hype and think they are above the law.

The odd thing is if Jay-Z hadn’t written the unwise, inarticulate song "Open Letter" stating the U.S. President and White House gave him "clearance" to go to "Cuba" with Obama allegedly telling him to "Chill, you’re going to get me impeached" it would not have mushroomed into a scandal.


Beyonce and Jay-Z in Cuba

Once the song was released days ago, public reaction was largely negative, forcing Obama to respond via his rep Jay Carney, denying Jay-Z's over the top claims and brags. Many have written Jay-Z’s conduct in stating such things regarding Obama was disrespectful and selfish. It lacked decorum and class. 

Not to mention, rappers like Jay-Z love to brag in lyrics and interviews about not snitching. If the president did indeed tell big mouth Jay-Z the things stated in the song (which the president denies, by the way) that would mean he snitched on Obama to justify breaking U.S. law, implicating the Commander-in-Chief.

PUBLIC FEEDBACK:

1. President Obama knew about these two b**ches taking the trip to Cuba. The President need to set these two b***hes straight, Jayz thinks he's above everything even the WH. We finally get into the WH, and all it takes is a ex drug dealer and a p**sy dancer to f*** it up.

2. The fact that the White House even has to address this sh*t is ridiculous!!! You can't believe sh*t that comes out of a rapper's mouth. I bet Jay ass proud that he got the Press Secretary and members of the media quoting his sh*t. Stop giving ni**as shine and they'll eventually fade away.

3. Seems like because Jay-Z has rubbed a few elbows with Barack and Michelle via presidential campaigns and few upscale dinners, he feels as though he can address the president in an unprofessional manner. I fault the president for this. He allowed himself to be too accessible to the Carters.

4. Yada yada yada. Anywho, I see you Ms. Tina looking with your usual wicked witch of the west getup. And Jay-Z's mom got a 10-head showing walking behind him. That's all I got.

5. Jay Z is the reason I did NOT vote for Obama to have a second term. He worked too hard to get caught up in such ignorant bulls**it. Jay Z may be rich but he is nothing more than black trash. Encouraging black youth to engage in dealing drugs, being violent against one another, and even satanism. Young black men AND girls have ruined their lives trying to live up to this coon all while he laughs to the bank. Thats what all these rappers do and I have ZERO respect for the president all because he fucks with coon a*s Jay Z.

6. Truthful lips will be established forever, But a lying tongue is only for a moment...Jay-z this is for you. My mother always say, be careful of what comes out of your mouth, it maybe your tongue you're stepping on.

7. The two elementary school grads think they are on the level with the president, this is shameful. Michelle meanwhile acting like Beyonce's cheerleader. I think their relationship is highly inappropriate. They only went to Cuba for three reasons to show they can do whatever they want, to gain publicity and to rock the boat.

8.  I'd have to agree that this is the president's fault. From his inauguration he and first lady Michelle have put Shawn and Beyonce on a pedestal. Not surprised at all that they are enjoying fringe benefits and an uppity sense of entitlement.

President Obama Leaves Jay-Z And Beyonce Hanging With His Rep Calling Them Liars (Video)

 

U.S. President Barack Obama, via his press secretary, Jay Carney, slammed rapper Jay-Z for stating he and his wife, Beyonce, were given special White House permission to criminally violate the U.S. embargo in going to Cuba. Millions of Cuban-Americans in America are angry over the couple visiting Cuba for their anniversary. Members of the U.S. Congress denounced it. Obama did yesterday as well.

Carney slammed Jay-Z's new song "Open Letter" in which the rapper states of the trip, "Obama said 'chill, you gonna get me impeached'. But you don't need this s**t anyway. Chill with me on the beach" and "Boy from the hood but got White House clearance."


Beyonce and Jay-Z in Cuba

Jay-Z also rapped, "Politicians never did sh*t for me. Except lie to me, distort history. Wanna give me jail time and a fine. Fine, let me commit a real crime. I might buy a kilo for Chief Keef. Out of spite, I just might flood these streets" threatening to flood the streets of America with cocaine. Jay-Z's career was started with ill-gotten money he made from selling crack-cocaine. Rather than repent of those ways and denounce them, which would be the right thing to do, Jay-Z continues to glorify said negativity.

What the Judiciary Report finds astonishing is that Jay-Z would invoke the name of the President of the United States in such a matter and in such a profane, distasteful song. The site has stated for the past few years that Jay-Z and Beyonce are a liability to Obama. They've just proven the site correct.


Barack Obama

My family is very involved in politics in my homeland of Jamaica (since before I was born). I grew up in that environment, where my dad is friends with prime ministers and lawmakers. For years I've contemplated getting into politics when I'm older, as I believe it is a vehicle for genuine change. So I've truly been baffled as to why Obama would align himself with Jay-Z and have stated for years it would cause him problems. With so many accomplished, standout figures such as Dr. Benjamin Carson and scientist Adrian Gibbs, why choose Jay-Z.

Carney On Jay-Z's Explicit Song About Cuba Trip: "The White House Has Nothing To Do With It"

DONOVAN SLACK, POLITICO: I just want to return to Beyonce and Jay-Z. Jay-Z released a rap today, I know the other day you said that Treasury was the one that cleared their trip, he suggested that he got White House permission – that he personally spoke with the president. I’ll just quote: "I turned Havana into Atlanta. Boy from the hood, I got White House Clearance. Obama said chill you gonna get me impeached. You don’t need this expletive anyway, chill with me on the beach."

JAY CARNEY: I guess nothing rhymes with Treasury, because Treasury offers and gives licenses for travel, as you know, and the White House has nothing to do with it.

SLACK: So are you saying that he did not, the president, did not have a conversation with Jay-Z?

JAY CARNEY: I am absolutely saying that the White House, from the president on down, had nothing to do with anybody's personal -- anybody's travel to Cuba. That is something that Treasury handles.

… it's a song, Donovan. The president did not communicate with Jay-Z over this trip.

Beyonce And Jay-Z Offend Millions Of Music Buying Cuban Americans Including Members Of Congress


Beyonce and Jay-Z grinning in Cuba not realizing the scandal brewing in America

The Cuban American community is angry with singer Beyonce Knowles and her husband, rapper, Jay-Z, over a visit they made to Cuba last week to celebrate their anniversary. Members of Congress are stating the couple broke the Cuban embargo in conduct worthy of jail.

Americans are not allowed to travel to Cuba for vacation purposes. The couple also did not obtain any kind of permit from the U.S. State Department before their trip, putting them in clear violation of the law. Cuban-Americans are vowing to boycott and protest the couple.

The two have received a significant amount of bad publicity this year, regarding several high profile fiascoes, such as Beyonce lip-syncing at President Obama's inauguration, her performance at the Super Bowl blowing out the electricity to the stadium, her song "Bow Down" being widely slammed and criticized and their hacked credit reports leaking revealing Jay-Z is heavily in debt and delinquent on bills.

Britain Has Dominated The Olympics In Rowing...

But There Could Have Been Another Great Contender


British rowing team of Andrew Triggs Hodge, Tom James, Pete Reed and Alex Gregory win gold at the 2012 Olympics

Team GB, better known as Great Britain, has dominated in the 2012 Olympics in the sport of rowing, on both the male and female side. This could be in Britons DNA from centuries of sailing and conquering the world. After all, it has been one of the most impressive empires in world history.

 

However, there is a group that could make quite the contender in the sport of rowing. That's right. I'm talking about the Cubans that row to Miami seeking asylum. Men and women that braved the waves and sharks of the Atlantic Ocean and the Bermuda triangle. If rowing from a shark can't propel one to victory, nothing will. Just teasing.

Lawyer: Gitmo Detainees Tortured & Murdered - They Did Not Commit Suicide

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO

According to lawyer, Scott Horton, who is handling the wrongful death case of three Gitmo detainees, thought to have committed suicide, they were in fact tortured and murdered, contrary to what was previously reported.

Horton stated the three detainees were placed in "Camp No" at the U.S. prison, Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, tortured, then suffocated to death. The subsequent inquests have revealed foul play, ruling out the suicide story the government released. That does not look good.

Casting Doubt on US Claims of Suicide, Attorney Scott Horton Reveals 3 Gitmo Prisoners Died After Torture at Secret Site

New evidence has emerged suggesting three Guantánamo prisoners whom the US claims took their own lives in June 2006 died not from suicide, but torture. A six-month investigation by Harper’s Magazine indicates the three prisoners were suffocated and tortured during questioning at a secret black site facility at Guantánamo known as “Camp No.” The article is based in part on testimony from a former staff sergeant who says the Obama administration has refused to investigate his claims.

Inside Illinois Prison To House Gitmo Detainees

"Video: Obama's Gitmo Solution"

U.S. President Barack Obama has selected the Thomson Correctional Center as the designated prison for Gitmo detainees. The Judiciary Report is not sold on the idea of it, preferring Alcatraz, as it is remote, spacious and holds the appropriate image that illustrates one means business.

It is a bit concerning that Thomson is not in a remote location, but the facility has other useful features, such as modern surveillance equipment and a courthouse. Congress must submit the final vote on the measure.

Obama administration to buy Illinois prison for Guantanamo detainees

Congress must vote on plan. Critics are calling facility 'Gitmo North' Map locates Thomson Correctional Center near Thomson, Illinois where the federal government plans to send terrorism suspects from Gantanamo Bay.

...A state prison in rural Thomson will be purchased and refitted to house dozens of terrorism suspects now held at Guantanamo, the administration announced. But Obama immediately drew criticism that revealed just how toxic the issue remains.

Obama On U.S. Trade And Jobs

U.S. President Obama is stressing job creation by the public and private sector as the way out of the current economic recession-turned depression.

U.S. President Obama

In a public address given this past weekend, the President stated, the United States is willing to trade with anyone. Does “anyone” as we know the term to mean, include Cuba and Iran?

In other news, Obama's job numbers are still being scrutinized by the press and economists as inaccurate and costly to the taxpayers. The housing and job markets are still very bad, as is the deficit and budget.

Obama: Private, public sectors must create jobs

President Barack Obama said Monday the public and private sectors must find more ways to create jobs to continue the nation's climb out of an economic recession...

The president said job losses would continue for weeks and months to come and called for bold, innovative action by his administration, Congress and the private sector to create more good-paying jobs.

He also said the U.S. must break out of a "debilitating gridlock on trade policy," by ending the false choice between a wide-open, free wheeling import policy or fearful, protectionist approach to trade. He called for a more balanced policy of letting the world know America wants to compete and trade — fairly — with anyone. He gave no specifics...

We've got a long way to go. We are still seeing production levels that are significantly below peak levels and most distressing is the fact that job growth continues to lag.

Obama tempers economic news with caution on jobs

WASHINGTON — ...The good news of the week: The economy is on the rise for the first time in more than a year. Fro m July through September the economy grew by 3.5 percent, the strongest uptick in two years. Obama called the development no cause for celebration, but a welcome sign after so many months of distressing news.

"While we have a long way to go before we return to prosperity, and there will undoubtedly be ups and downs along the road, it's also true that we've come a long way," Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address. "It is easy to forget that it was only several months ago that the economy was shrinking rapidly and many economists feared another Great Depression."

Yet the economic indicator that matters most to the majority of families — stable, solid employment — is still lagging.

Unemployment hit a 26-year high of 9.8 percent in September, and the October report due in the coming week could show it topping 10 percent.

"Economic growth is no substitute for job growth," Obama said. "And we will likely see further job losses in the coming days, a fact that is both troubling for our economy and heartbreaking for the men and women who suddenly find themselves out of work. But we will not create the jobs we need unless the economy is growing."

He added, "Positive news today does not mean there won't be difficult days ahead."...

Jamaican Government Gives Highjacker 20-Years In Prison

Steven Fray, 21, was sentenced to 83-years in prison, to run currently, amounting to 20-years incarceration in a Jamaican prison, for conducting the nation’s first ever plane hijacking.

Fray, stormed past security at one of Jamaica’s smaller, private airports and took a Canjet airplane hostage. Fray used a gun, which he discharged into the air, demanding the plane be flown to neighboring Cuba.

It was stated he was distraught over the end of a relationship with a woman in Florida. His lawyers tried to plead insanity, but the prosecutor and the judge would not hear of it. They have, however, decreed he is to receive psychiatric treatment in prison.

Side Bar: I know the Jamaican legal system well, as one of my relatives has worked extensively in it, on the side of the law, for many years and told me much about it growing up. Therefore, I don’t know why the hijacker thought the government would stand for something like this. He should have known better.

20-years in a Jamaican prison is not going to be a cakewalk, but his conduct was very egregious. I am not of the belief that people who do such things should roam around free in society, anywhere in the world. Clearly, based on what the government stated in articles, they are sending a message that such conduct will not be tolerated.

83 year sentence for Fray

Thursday, 08 October 2009 - Stephen Fray.Convicted would-be hijacker Stephen Fray was sentenced to a total of 83 years when he faced the Western Regional Gun Court in Montego Bay, St. James on Thursday.

He will however only serve a maximum of 20 years as the sentences are to run concurrently...

However after listening to the report plus an interview with the psychiatrist Dr. Wendell Abel for the second time, the judge sentenced Fray to 20 years on the three counts of shooting with intent and robbery with aggravation.

He was also given 18 years on the illegal possession of a firearm charge while the two counts of assault were discharged. He was also given one year each for the lesser charges.

Judge didn't consider his mental illness - defense attorney

Mr. Thomas believes that the judge did not take all the factors into consideration before handing down her sentence...

It was on April 19th that Fray eluded security personnel at the Sangster International Airport and attempted to hijack a CanJet flight with more than 200 passengers onboard, destined for Halifax, Canada.

He was disarmed by a flight attendant some eight hours later and a special armed forces team which stormed the plane.
