Courageous researchers sued for uncovering widespread Islamist infiltration
If you're like most normal, decent Americans, you're horrified at the radical leftist coup playing out in the halls of power every day, maniacally intent on transforming our country in the most radical ways, whether we like it or not. You hear about this every day, and are justifiably outraged.
But there is a second front in this war, one less obvious, but just as ominous. And that is the ongoing radical Islamic subversion of our country, far more advanced than most people realize, to the point that today most of America's largest "mainstream" Islamic "civil rights," "charitable" and "lobbying" organizations are in fact fronts for the dangerous international Muslim Brotherhood, the parent organization of al-Qaida and Hamas. If you're tempted to glaze over this paragraph because what it says doesn't sound familiar – don't. This is not my opinion; federal law enforcement confirms there exists a network of wealthy Islamic organizations within the U.S. dedicated to supporting terrorist groups and subverting our constitutional government.
The only reason we know about such things – whether it's Marxist radicals in the White House or the Islamist subversion of government – is because of the New Media, that is, the Internet and talk radio and some cable news. Most in the Old Media, laughably misnamed the "mainstream media," are either asleep at the switch, too afraid to report the whole truth, or worst of all, are complicit.
Regular Americans cheer when they see New Media investigators expose radicals' attacks on America. Like WND's own Aaron Klein, who first reported back in April on White House communist czar Van Jones, revelations picked up during the summer by Glenn Beck, who then hammered Jones daily on his popular Fox show until he was forced to resign.
Or like the two 20-something ACORN investigators, "prostitute" Hannah Giles and "pimp" filmmaker James O'Keefe, who dramatically exposed that criminal enterprise with hidden video.
And then there's the ultimate ACORN-style investigation, more daring and more dangerous than you can imagine. Last year, a young man named Chris Gaubatz, along with two young ladies, pretended to convert to Islam – he grew a beard, they wore veils – and landed positions as interns with the notorious Council on Islamic-American Relations, or CAIR, whose national headquarters is just three blocks from the U.S. Capitol.
Mind you, CAIR is known by the U.S. government to be a Saudi-funded, terrorist-front group, whose terror connections caused the FBI earlier this year to cut off ties with the organization. The U.S. Justice Department has likewise branded CAIR an "unindicted co-conspirator" in the largest terror-funding trial in U.S. history. In other words, in law enforcement terms CAIR is a "dirty" organization. It has supported known terror groups like Hamas, it has engaged in placing interns and staffers in key congressional offices, and works ceaselessly to undermine America's post-9/11 security, according to multiple FBI agents.
Our knowledge of all this increased dramatically with WND Books' recent publication of the blockbuster book "Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America," co-authored by former federal agent and terror investigator P. David Gaubatz – Chris Gaubatz's father.
A U.S. State Department–trained Arabic linguist and counterterrorism specialist, in 2003 Dave Gaubatz became the first U.S. civilian federal agent deployed to Nasiriyah, Iraq. According to Rep. Sue Myrick, founder of the bipartisan Congressional anti-terror Caucus, Dave Gaubatz "deserves all our gratitude for his heroic service to our country."
Gaubatz's co-author for "Muslim Mafia" is veteran investigative reporter Paul Sperry, one of the nation's top journalistic experts on Islamic infiltration. Sperry's previous book "Infiltration" is used by law enforcement, and he's also one of the best reporters I've known personally in 25 years of journalism.
Here's where it gets really interesting.
Just as ACORN, rather than admitting its absurdly obvious corruption once exposed, played innocent and instead turned around and sued the dynamic duo for videotaping them, CAIR is doing the same thing. While denying everything, disputing the Justice Department designation as terror co-conspirator, faulting the FBI, and condemning members of Congress who, based on "Muslim Mafia"'s revelations, have recently called for three separate federal probes of the organization, CAIR maintains its innocence. And true to form, on Nov. 2 it filed in federal district court in Washington, D.C., a lawsuit against Chris Gaubatz and his father, "Muslim Mafia" co-author P. David Gaubatz.
The next day, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, based solely on the requests from CAIR's lawyers and without benefit of input from the defendants (that'll come later), granted CAIR'S demand for a temporary restraining order barring P. David Gaubatz and his son, Chris Gaubatz, from further use or publication of the internal documents, recordings and records obtained in the six-month undercover operation, and ordering they return them to CAIR's lawyers by midnight Nov 18.
Although CAIR contends Chris Gaubatz stole the documents, WND founder and CEO Joseph Farah has previously explained in a letter to Congress that the CAIR material was legally obtained by the young investigator, who had been asked by CAIR officials "to shred documents he believed might be criminal evidence … and involve matters of national security."
"On advice from counsel, he collected those documents and preserved them. None of the documents were 'stolen,'" Farah said. "They were, in fact, handed to him by CAIR employees for destruction. All of the documents are available for review by appropriate law-enforcement authorities and, in fact, some have already been provided to them."
Farah concluded by saying Gaubatz's "patriotic activities within CAIR, an unindicted terrorist co-conspirator, were done on advice of counsel at every step, and were in accordance with District of Columbia and Virginia state law."
