Forget Weiner, it’s Huma, her jihad connections and her influence on U.S. policy that’s the story here.
It is not enough to analyze Huma Abedin as a "political wife." Abedin
is also a veritable Muslim Brotherhood princess. As such, the
ideological implications of her actions -- plus her long and privileged
access to US policy-making through Hillary Clinton -- must be
considered, particularly in the context of national security.
But talk about paradoxes. In an era when the most minute and lurid descriptions of her husband's anatomical and sexual details are common talk, Huma Abedin's familial and professional connections to the world of jihad are unspeakable.
In a nutshell -- quoting former federal prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy writing at National Review this week -- Huma Abedin "worked for many years at a journal that promotes Islamic supremacist ideology that was founded by a top al-Qaida financier, Abdullah Omar Naseef." That would be for at least seven years (1996-2003), by the way, during which Abedin also worked for Hillary Clinton.
Let this sink in for just a moment. The journal that Huma worked for -- which promotes Islamic supremacism and was founded by al-Qaida financer Naseef, who also headed the Muslim World League, a leading Muslim Brotherhood organization -- is called the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs. It was edited first by Huma's father, Syed Abedin, and now by her mother, Saleha Abedin. Saleha is a member of the Muslim Sisterhood. Mother Abedin also directs an organization (the International Islamic Committee for Woman and Child) that comes under the umbrella of the Union for Good, another U.S.-designated terrorist organization. As McCarthy reminds us, "the Union for Good is led by Sheikh Yusef al-Qaradawi, the notorious Muslim Brotherhood jurist who has issued fatwas calling for the killing of American military and support personnel in Iraq as well as suicide bombings in Israel."
Given these alarming professional and family associations, it is hard to imagine how Huma Abedin ever received the security clearance necessary to work closely with the secretary of state. But she did, and from her powerful post, she undoubtedly exerted influence over U.S. policy-making. (In his National Review piece, McCarthy lists specific actions that bespeak a shift in U.S. foreign policy to favor the Muslim Brotherhood.)
Isn't the Abedin-Clinton national security story at least as newsworthy as Weiner's private parts?
At this point, only McCarthy's National Review piece reprises these well-documented facts. In other words, it is not only CNN and the New York Times that draw blanks for their readers. Most "conservative" outlets, including Fox News, the New York Post, The Blaze, Breitbart.com and Rush Limbaugh, are ignoring this story, too.
If the Abedin-Muslim Brotherhood story rings any bells, it is probably because of Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn. Last summer, Bachmann, along with four other House Republicans, raised the issue of Huma Abedin among other examples of possible Muslim Brotherhood penetration of the federal policy-making chain. They asked inspectors general at five departments, including the State Department, to investigate their concerns, but nothing happened -- nothing, that is, except that Bachmann was crucified, by Democrats and Republicans alike, for asking urgently important questions about national security.
This made the entire subject, already taboo, positively radioactive -- with Huma Abedin becoming the poster victim of this supposed "McCarthyism" redux. End of story. Never mind facts. Never mind also that in his day, Sen. Joseph McCarthy was asking urgently important questions about national security, too.
But don't worry. We "won" the Cold War. Obamacare, here we come. At this rate, we'll declare "victory" in the so-called war on terror, and, before you know it, become a leading outpost of the caliphate
Let’s frame it this way: A woman with
big party connections works for a National Socialist rag throughout the
1930′s and makes her way into the top echelon of the Democratic party, a
‘Berlin Rose’ of sorts, advising key officials in government. Now that
would be a scandal right? Not in the eyes of the modern media though.
In a nutshell — quoting former federal prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy writing at National Review this week — Huma Abedin “worked for many years at a journal that promotes Islamic supremacist ideology that was founded by a top al-Qaida financier, Abdullah Omar Naseef.” That would be for at least seven years (1996-2003), by the way, during which Abedin also worked for Hillary Clinton.
Nationalized health care was one of the
first programs enacted by the Bolsheviks after they seized power in
1917. Nearly a century later, the U.S. enacted “Obamacare.”
Who won the Cold War again? This is one
of the questions I work over in my new book, “American Betrayal: The
Secret Assault on Our Nation’s Character” (St. Martin’s Press). Can we
realistically claim liberty and free markets triumphed over collectivism
when today there is only a thin Senate line trying to fend off
Obamacare’s totalitarian intrusions into citizens’ lives? We see perhaps
a dozen or so patriots led by conservative ace Sen. Republican Mike Lee
of Utah, gallantly mustering forces to defund further enforcement of
this government behemoth aborning. (Call your senators and ask them to
join — or tell you why they didn’t at the next town hall.) How can we
maintain that the republic endured when a centralized super-state has
taken its place?
So, once more, who really won the Cold
War? The question is better framed when we realize that the battleground
where the Free World met Marx was also psychological. Consciously or
not, we struggled against an insidious Marxist ideology that was always,
at root, an assault on our nation’s character.
The most recent manifestation of victory
over the American character shows through the Anthony Weiner-Huma
Abedin scandal. This scandal is a paradoxical double whammy of both
exposure and cover-up.
Everyone knows (too much) about the
exposure part: Anthony Weiner, candidate for mayor of New York City,
turns out to be a recidivist pervert. The fatuous conversation that has
followed this “news” has turned on the decision of Weiner’s wife, Huma
Abedin, to step forward to try to salvage her husband’s bid for public
office. The Wall Street Journal’s response to Abedin’s decision was
typical: “Watching the elegant Huma Abedin stand next to her man Tuesday
as he explained his latest sexually charged online exchanges was
painful for a normal human being to watch.”
The media want to know why the “elegant
Huma” — Hillary Clinton’s longtime aide and former deputy chief of staff
— would do such an inelegant thing. Was this couple’s therapy writ
large? Was it for their child? Was it … love?
True, the barbs of Huma’s ambition — as
naked as her husband’s dirty pics — have broken through the gauzy
chatter. But cut off from context, they, too, end up perpetuating what
is, in fact, the great Huma Abedin cover-up.
But talk about paradoxes. In an era when the most minute and lurid descriptions of her husband's anatomical and sexual details are common talk, Huma Abedin's familial and professional connections to the world of jihad are unspeakable.
