SEIU Members Being Investigated For Working With Hamas and FARC Terrorists…
The Islamists/leftist axis of evil remains as strong as ever.
(Big Gov’t)- Prominent current and former members of SEIU local 73 are being investigated for their potential ties to the Hamas and FARC terrorist groups.
Late last year, their homes were raided by the FBI, and they were subpoenaed to appear in front of a grand jury for questioning.
Joe Iosbaker, Chief Steward of SEIU 73, and Tom Burke (former board member of SEIU 73) are among 9 people who are subjects in the investigation. None of them have been charged with any crimes, yet.
Two days ago, they refused again to appear in front of the grand jury.
The interesting thing about these SEIU folks is that they also belong to a violently radical group called the Freedom Road Socialist Organization. From their website:
The Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO) is a revolutionary socialist and Marxist-Leninist organization in the United States.
1) We stand for the right to self-determination up to and including secession for the African American nation in the Black Belt South.
While rejecting Zionist claims on Palestine and white supremacist claims to a white southern nation or northwestern nation, we do acknowledge the fact that the most advanced sections of the Black liberation movement, from the 1800s on, have demanded a Black Republic in the South.
It gets worse from there.
This is the same group who, along with the other subjects of the FBI investigation, takes credit for staging the 2008 RNC protest-riots.
Shockingly, SEIU leadership is supporting their accused members, and the chosen strategy of not cooperating with law enforcement.

Meet the new boss (Islam), same as the old boss (Communism).
Right up Dear Leader’s alley- along with many in his administration as well.
Msm remain mum!
“The Freedom Road Socialist Organization”

Their ties go quite a bit further than Hamas and FARC. There are also ties to the IRA, the Arab American Action Network, and the Chicago New Party.

They will not cooperate with law enforcement because they know that our current A.G. will work to let them off the hook.

Excellent post Zip.
If there were any true “journalists” in the MSM, just their refusal to appear in front of a Federal Grand Jury would be HEADLINE news – and that the one organization that reported that referred to them as “Anti-War Activists” – my ass.
My sincere thanks go out to Big Govt and to YOU and to all of the Center-Right blogs who are picking up and spreading this story.
I’ll make sure it turns up on Correspondence Committee too. Just as with Weasel Zippers, our commenters go to and comment at other blogs as well (without fear of being banned) and we REALLY need to get this story out there.
Thank you, again.
Do Americans have any 1st Amendment right to give terrorist groups advice on how to conduct business, even when the subject is (allegedly) journalistic activity? Anti-terrorism laws made that kind of assistance illegal, calling it “material support” for terrorism itself. Last summer, the Supreme Court upheld the law in a 6-3 decision that stopped an aid organization from consulting with the PKK:

The Supreme Court has upheld a federal law that bars “material support” to foreign terrorist organizations, rejecting a free speech challenge from humanitarian aid groups.
The court ruled 6-3 Monday that the government may prohibit all forms of aid to designated terrorist groups, even if the support consists of training and advice about entirely peaceful and legal activities.
Material support intended even for benign purposes can help a terrorist group in other ways, Chief Justice John Roberts said in his majority opinion.
“Such support frees up other resources within the organization that may be put to violent ends,” Roberts said.

Hamas would be one such example. It has conducted terrorist attacks in Israel with one part of its organization while running (allegedly) charitable endeavors with another.

Fundraising for Hamas to support its outreach programs would allow Hamas to use the money elsewhere, or even if the specific money was applied to the charitable work, it would allow Hamas to not have to dip into the charity funds for its terrorist activities.
Leftists fondly recall when their “material support” for Hamas terrorism was considered “the highest form of patriotism.” Thanks to all the Leftist Hamas-huggers for making it easier for Obama’s NSA to track your URLs and Holder’s Justice Department to prosecute your material support propaganda campaigns. Great job, traitors.
Fine, they can have a black republic in the South…and they can pay for it. No need for any of our filthy cracker tax money.
The IRA has ties to the marxists in the U.S.A.? and here i thought lefties here and in Britain were outraged that Peter King gave money to them.
Just more unsuprising faux outrage from the left.
“…and as extremists try to inspire acts of violence within our borders, we are responding with the strength of our communities, with respect for the rule of law, and with the conviction that American Muslims are a part of our American family.” BHO
Al-Qaeda to American Muslims: Kill the Infidel, Make a Living!
Al-Qaeda is undertaking a new strategy: encouraging American Muslims to become a self-sustaining arm of the international jihad.
In the latest issue of Inspire magazine, published by al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, American al-Qaeda commander Anwar al-Awlaki declares that Sharia law requires American Muslims to commit robbery, embezzlement, and theft, for the purpose of funding jihad attacks, financially supporting groups committed to Salafi-jihadi causes, and covering their living expenses.
Al-Awlaki admits that Islamic law allows legitimate Muslim rulers to enter into binding treaties and covenants with non-Muslim nations, but he quickly dismisses this possibility by stating that there are no legitimate Muslim rulers in the world today because they are all apostates. He adds that — even if there were legitimate Muslim rulers — treaties and covenants could not be made with the U.S. because it is at war with Islam.
After a lengthy analysis of how the four schools of Sunni Islam view this topic, he concludes that:
In the case of the United States, both the government and private citizens should be targeted. America and Americans are the Imams of kufr in this day and age. The American people who vote for war mongering governments are intent on no good. Anyone who inflicts harm on them in any form is doing a favor to the ummah. … Since jihad around the world is in dire need of financial support, we urge our brothers in the West to take it upon themselves to give this issue a priority in their plans. Rather than the Muslims financing their jihad from their own pockets, they should finance it from the pockets of their enemies.
Many commentators have mistakenly focused on this new statement as a sign of al-Qaeda’s financial weakness, but they widely miss the point.
Al-Qaeda has never hidden the fact that it needs money. For years, Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and other al-Qaeda leaders have repeatedly cajoled and pleaded for more money from the faithful.
The actual point is that — as of about a year ago — al-Qaeda launched a dynamic new strategic campaign designed to turn American Muslims against their government and transform them into an active and self-sustaining arm of the global jihad. Al-Awlaki’s new declaration simply tells them how they can finance their attacks and make a living at the same time.
Most Americans do not fully comprehend or appreciate the degree to which the al-Qaeda organization has focused its attention on American Muslims. This new focus is a huge departure from al-Qaeda’s past approach, and the fact that its message is tailored for American Muslims in colloquial English written by influential American jihadists such as al-Awlaki, Adam Gadahn, and Samir Khan, delivered via an online magazine with cool graphics and punchy headlines, enables it to engage, influence, and recruit young American Muslims.
Using this tailored mass media approach, al-Qaeda takes American Muslims by the hand and patiently explains to them exactly where they fit into the grand jihad and how, as insiders, they are uniquely positioned to strike a blow against Islam’s fiercest enemy.
It painstakingly explains how Sharia law requires and justifies their attacks on America, it advises them to take six months to a year to plan secure operations, it teaches them how to build bombs and use a variety of weapons to kill Americans, it provides role models for them to emulate, and now it is telling them how to finance their operations.
Unfortunately, al-Qaeda’s creative and sustained campaign is already reaping benefits by winning over American traitors. In Inspire’s letters-to-the-editor section, an American Muslim calling himself Hamza announces:
The release of your majestic magazine brought tears to my eyes, brothers. I cannot convey how excited I am to see such wonderful words pour from the page like the blood from a kafr. The words are blessed by Allah, and will give much strength to the brothers here among the Americans.
Given the fact that al-Awlaki is the rising star of the international jihad movement who has personally motivated dozens of terrorists — including the would-be Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad, Nidal Hasan (the Ft. Hood massacre), and underwear bomber Umar Farouk — there is every reason to fear that more American Muslims like Hamza will respond to his new ruling by launching criminal campaigns to finance their jihad against America.

“The Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO) is a revolutionary socialist and Marxist-Leninist organization in the United States.”
I remain stunned that America allows any organization with stated goals of our destruction (like the ACLU) to exist within our borders.
Maybe they’re hoping as with the New Black Panthers case if they don’t show up the charges will be dropped?
Seems like any group caught aiding Islamic terrorist will get a pass and those who are trying to save the Country like the Tea Party will serve as much jail time as they can get a bought and paid for liberal Judge to charge them with.
You know I keep thinking this is only the start of the hellish shit were about to be hit with.
If we can get real Conservatives running our country and not these new Rinos who were voted in, we stand a chance of saving our sorry Asses.
But there is a shit load of corruption that needs to be cleansed from all governing and policing bodies.
Senators, Congressman, DOJ, EPA, HLS, FBI, CIA White House, Federal and State judges and so on.
This is one big Communist mess that is going to take years to unravel.
See we’re just getting started on getting rid of these communist.
Once we really get into the investigation we’re going to blow the whole world away with how long they have been infiltrating our Government and Schools.
We are in for the shock of our lives when we see how far the corruption goes.

The “anti-colonialists” are all allied with one another. The don’t seem to care that their individual, stated, long-term goals are completely incompatible with one another.

In recent years, Castro has aligned himself with ETA, the Basque separatist movement; supported Hezbollah, the IRA, and Colombia’s two largest terrorist organizations; and allegedly sent Cuban spies to Florida with instructions to locate areas in south Florida to which Castro could ship arms, supplies, and troops.
awww….isn’t that cute.
Sounds like Rev Wrigh has influenced these freaks too ergo their support for Obama.
The Communist-Islamic alliance leads back to the DemonRATS:
“DEM SHOCKER!!… Speaker Pelosi Was Sending Messages to FARC Terrorists While Undermining Colombian Government!”
http://gatewaypundit.rightnetwork.com/2008/07/dem-shocker-speaker-pelosi-was-sending/
You bet their minions will stall while the RATS try to cover for them. That’s why Islam/CAIR doesn’t want an investigation by King or others, it leads back also to the RATS.
There are about six other related stories linked at bottom of the above story.
Where is Andy Stern these days? Sure has disappeared from attention…
So the black south wants to secede?
Does this mean they get there fat asses on a boat and float back to Africa where they came from?
Hey, get after it.
They want “apartheid”.
