Terror-support group controls most Islamic groups, mosques in America
8:22 pm Eastern
By Paul Sperry
WASHINGTON – Staff investigators with the House and Senate intelligence committees say they areprobingthe domesticsecurity threatposed by the radical Muslim Brotherhood and, specifically, whether Brotherhood operatives have penetrated the U.S. government.
The true nature, ambitions and global reach of the Cairo-based Muslim Brotherhood suddenly have become the focus of debate in Washington, following unrest in Egypt and other parts of the Middle East.
As the Muslim Brotherhood threatens to effectively replace Egypt's secular, pro-Western regime, the tentacles of its worldwide jihadist movement have reached deep into the Muslim communityin America. Shockingly, federal court documents reveal that virtually every major Muslim organizationin Americais a front group for the Brotherhood. They also show that its U.S. network has raised millions of dollars for Hamas, al-Qaida and other terrorist groups.
"The most prominent Islamic organizations in the United States are all controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood," said FBI veteran John Guandolo, who worked several Brotherhood-related terror cases out of the bureau's Washington field office as a special agent after 9/11.
Read the inside story about plans to put America under Shariah, in "Muslim Mafia."
While the FBI has cut off ties to some of the well-established organizations, many others continue to participate in outreach programs with the Homeland Security and Justice departments, the former special agent says. Some of their leaders are even advising the government on how to respond to events in Egypt and elsewhere.

American Muslim activists deny the Muslim Brotherhood operates inside America. Even Muslims who have attached themselves to the Republican Party have pooh-poohed the internal threat.
"There's no Muslim Brotherhood in the United States," former Bush administration official Suhail A. Khan insisted earlier this month at the 2011 Conservative Political Action Conference meeting in Washington.
However, the U.S. Justice Department has identified no fewer than 61 Muslim Brotherhood figures and entities operating within the U.S. They include:
The Islamic Society of North America, or ISNA, the umbrella organization for most of the Muslim groups in the U.S. and Canada;
The North American Islamic Trust, or NAIT, which holds title to most of the major mosquesin America, including one in the Washington suburbs attended by both the Fort Hood terrorist and some of the 9/11 hijackers; and,
The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, the largest Muslim-rights group in the country.
All are heavily funded by wealthy patrons in Saudi Arabia and other Mideast nations, according to sensitive embassy cables, tax records, bank wire transfers and other documents cited in the book,"Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America,"an expose of the Muslim Brotherhood and its American front groups.
Their names were entered intoevidenceas "co-conspirators" during a federal trial which ended in 2008 with the convictions of several Muslim Brotherhood leaders on terrorism charges. The "list of unindicted co-conspirators" implicated these otherwise mainstream Muslim groups in a criminal scheme to funnel millions of dollars to Palestinian terrorists under the guise of charity.
The 11-page document, submitted by federal prosecutors as "Attachment A" in court filings,has not been widely distributed or reported by the national media. Surprisingly few members of Congress are familiar withthe list, Hill sources say.
The largest Muslim charityin America– the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, or HLF – was at the center of the Muslim Brotherhood's terror-fundraising network. The government shut down HLF after 9/11 and recently convicted the organization on charges of laundering more than $12 million in donations for Hamas suicide bombers and their families. HLF wasformerlyknown as the Occupied Land Fund, or OLF, where it operated under ISNA and shared checking accounts with the group.
"ISNA and NAIT, in fact, shared more with HLF than just a parent organization [the Muslim Brotherhood]. They were intimately connected with the HLF and its assigned task of providing financial support to Hamas," federal prosecutors said in a 2008 memo to a U.S. District Court in Dallas, HLF's national headquarters.
"Shortly after Hamas was founded in 1987, as an outgrowth of the Muslim Brotherhood, the International Muslim Brotherhood ordered the Muslim Brotherhood chapters throughout the world to create Palestine Committees, whose job it was to support Hamas with 'media, money and men,'" the memo continued. "The U.S.-Muslim Brotherhood created the U.S. Palestine Committee, which documents reflect was initially comprised of three organizations: the OLF (HLF), the IAP [Islamic Association for Palestine], and the UASR [United Association for Studies and Research]. CAIR was later added to these organizations."
Prosecutors concluded: "The mandate of these organizations, per the International Muslim Brotherhood, was to support Hamas."
Fairfax County Nexus
The Muslim Brotherhood's originsin Americago back more than four decades. In the 1960s, radical Muslim immigrants began organizingin Americaand developing a criminal underworld that largely escaped federal law enforcement scrutiny. They eventually incorporated nonprofit organizations with benign-sounding names, and told anybody who asked they were simply forming a social network or "cultural society" for Muslims.
Top Muslim Brotherhood leader Abdurahman Alamoudi and George Bush
But in the wake of 9/11, Washington allowed case agents to start connecting the dots, and they began to see a lot of overlap in the operations of the Muslim groups and their leaders – along with a lot of Saudi money and suspicious activity. This confirmed the hunches of veteran counterterrorism investigators, who believed the groups were connected in an international conspiracy against America and its key Mideast ally, Israel.
Although the groups appear independent of one another, many of them co-mingle funds and even share the same staff and office space.
For example, some 40 active Muslim charities and businesses have operated at one time or another out of the same office building in Herndon, Va. And several others have been headquartered out of the same non-descript office park in Alexandria, Va., in the shadow of the nation's capital, as first reported in the book,"Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives Have Penetrated Washington."
After 9/11, federal and local authorities identified more than 110 suspected shell companies, cut-outs and other fronts associated with the Muslim Brotherhood and its hub in Northern Virginia, known collectively as the "Safa Group." Their ongoing investigation of the Herndon-based Safa Group, which allegedly funneled money to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other terrorist groups, generated a separate list of suspected Brotherhood entities.The 13-page document, submitted by federal investigators as "Attachment C" among court filings,includes known al-Qaida charitable fronts as well.
Both the Herndon and Alexandria nexuses are located within Fairfax County, Va., across the Potomac from the nation's capital.
"There's only three degrees of separation between international terrorism and what happens in Fairfax County," observed a senior Fairfax County Police Department detective, as quoted in"Muslim Mafia.""Our society here is totally infiltrated by the bad guys."
Investigators also discovered the groups have interlocking boards of directors. One top Brotherhood leader, Abdurahman Alamoudi, sat on the boards of no fewer than 16 Islamic organizations, including CAIR. Many of the leaders live next door to each other on private, secluded streets.
"When we started to really look at this thing, we found it's all the same people. It's all the same guys," noted an FBI official in Washington.
Investigators also confirmed that many of the groups were laundering terrorist-bound funds through a maze of business conduits. They even used religious charities and think tanks as cover to carry out their illicit activities.
Soon, case agents and the assistant U.S. attorneys they worked with realized they were dealing with a vast criminal conspiracy, and began to look for ways to roll up the entire network, including using the RICO statute commonly aimed at the mafia.
Their first big break came several years ago with the search of one of the Brotherhood leaders' homes in Annandale, Va., following his arrest on suspicion he had cased the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and other bridges for possible terrorist attack. There, in a sub-basement of suspect Ismail Elbarasse's basement, FBI agents uncovered a stash of secret manifestos, charters and other documents revealing the depth of the conspiracy.
After translating the Arabic-written papers into English, investigators realized they had seized the archives of the U.S. branch of the militant International Muslim Brotherhood.
The trove of papers exposes the jihadist inner workings of the U.S. Brotherhood, and outlines its broader conspiracy of infiltrating and destroying the American government "from within."
One secret documentfound during the raid of Elbarasse's home lays bare the Brotherhood's ambitious plans for a U.S. takeover, replacing the U.S. Constitution with Shariah, or Islamic law.
Written in 1991 by another U.S. Brotherhood agent, Mohammed Akram Adlouni, the strategy paper describes the group's long-term goal of "sabotaging" the U.S. system. It's a blueprint for a stealth "grand jihad." Under the heading, "The role of the Muslim Brother in North America," it states:
The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within, and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by the hands of the believers, so that it is eliminated and Allah's religion is made victorious over all other religions.
"It is a genuine conspiracy to overthrow the government," the FBI official said, "and they have organizations to do it, and they have written doctrines outlining their plan."
The same documentalso lists 29 organizations working in the U.S. to further the Brotherhood's goals. In addition to ISNA, NAIT and CAIR's forerunner IAP, they include:
The International Institute for Islamic Thought, or IIIT, the largest Islamic think tank in America;
The Muslims Students Association, or MSA, which actively recruits on college campuses across the country;
The Fiqh Council of North America, which renders religious rulings, or fatwahs, based on Islamic law for Muslim-Americans; and,
The Islamic Circle of North America, or ICNA, which recently merged with the Muslim American Society, or MAS, another Brotherhood front organization based in the Washington suburbs.
(See image below for list of top Muslim Brotherhood fronts in America.)
For years, politicians and journalists have described these organizations as "mainstream" and "moderate." Investigators now warn they are U.S. franchises of the radical Brotherhood, established with a markedly different purpose than what they publicly claim.
Their secret manifesto is "a clear threat statement of hostile intent," says Pentagon consultant Maj. Stephen Coughlin, "with stated objectives that overlap with al-Qaida's."
The U.S. Brotherhood privately refers to its own organizations as "fronts."
"The Brothers in Egypt don't have fronts in the same broad way we have in America," Zeid al-Noman, a Brotherhood leader confides in one document seized by authorities.
Though the movement has been banned in Egypt, it still has popular support and operates relatively openly in that Muslim nation — something the Brotherhood is loath to do here, especially after 9/11, investigators say.
The U.S. Brotherhood even set up a committee to study the legal aspects of establishing charities in America. The charities are critical because the Brothers have used them as a "side" or "facade," as they put it in their writings, to launder illegal payments to terrorists.
U.S. prosecutors entered the secret documents as evidence in the Holy Land Foundation terror trial. The chilling courtroom exhibits were unopposed by the defense, further attesting to their authenticity.
Terrorists in suits
The government put away several Brotherhood leaders on conspiracy charges in the case. Shukri Abu Baker, Mohammad El Mezain, and CAIR founding director Ghassan Elashi were sentenced to, in effect, life terms for funneling millions of dollars to Palestinian terrorists. Three other Brothers caught up in the investigation have also been imprisoned.
Omar Ahmad, founding chairman of CAIR, was identified at trial as an unindicted co-conspirator in the terror-fundraising scheme. Ahmad, a key Brotherhood leader, has privately told Muslim audiences the Quran should replace the Constitution as "the highest authority in America."
"The only difference between the guys in the suits and the guys with the AK-47s is timing and tactics," an FBI official in Washington was quoted as saying in"Muslim Mafia."
Indeed, the former head of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood'sshuracouncil was one of al-Qaida's top fundraisers in America, according to the U.S. Treasury Department. Abdurahman Alamoudi, who infiltrated both the Clinton and Bush administrations, is now serving 23 years in federal prison for plotting terrorism.
In 1996, Alamoudi told a Muslim audience in Illinois: "Either we do it now or we do it after a hundred years, but this country will become a Muslim country."
Alamoudi also set up the Pentagon's Muslim chaplains program, training and certifying most of the Islamic clerics and lay leaders serving in the U.S. military today.
Sami al-Arian, a former Tampa professor, is another Muslim Brotherhood leader convicted of terrorism. One of his alleged collaborators is senior ISNA official Louay Safi, whom prosecutors named an unindicted co-conspirator in the terror case.
Unwittingly, the Pentagon invited Safi to Fort Hood to counsel troops about Islam after a Muslim officer gunned down dozens of soldiers who were preparing to deploy to Afghanistan from the Army base. Safi and ISNA continue to certify Muslim chaplains for the military.
Ret. Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin, former deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence in the Pentagon, says the Muslim Brotherhood is a terror-supporting Fifth Column.
"The Muslim Brotherhood is very much alive. It is very real,"Boykin said in a recent speech."And we need to be very concerned about it."
'Jihad is Our Way'
The Muslim Brotherhood proudly raises the banner of jihad. Its crest features a Quran with crossed swords. Its credo: "Allah is our goal; the Prophet is our guide; the Quran is our constitution; Jihad is our way; and death for the glory of Allah is our greatest ambition."
Established 80 years ago in Cairo, where the "mother group" is based, the Brotherhood remains a largely secretive society which gave birth to the entire terrorist juggernaut threatening the West and Israel today. In addition to Hamas, its offspring include Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Egyptian Islamic Jihad, which merged with al-Qaida.
"They all share the same roots – The Muslim Brotherhood," said Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a Muslim reformer and director of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy.
Before joining al-Qaida, Osama bin Laden, his deputy Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri and 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed were all adherents of the transnational Muslim Brotherhood – orIkhwan al-Muslimi, as it is known in Arabic.
The former Supreme Guide of the International Muslim Brotherhood, Mohammed Akef, recently was asked: "Regarding resistance and jihad, do you consider Osama bin Laden a terrorist or an Islamicmujahid(freedom fighter)?"
Akef replied, "In all certainty, amujahid, and I have no doubt in his sincerity in resisting the occupation, close to Allah on high."
Exiled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak outlawed the Brotherhood after it plotted to assassinate him, following its successful assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, who signed the country's historic peace treaty with Israel.
The Brotherhood now claims to eschew violence. But it still clandestinely supports violent jihad, while reportedly maintaining a well-armed wing of thousands of trained fighters. It seeks to free dozens of its terrorist members from Egyptian prisons.
"Elements of the Muslim Brotherhood here and overseas have supported terrorism," FBI Director Robert Mueller confirmed earlier this month during a House intelligence committee hearing.
According to covert FBI recordings cited in"Muslim Mafia,"Brotherhood leaders in America have described suicide bombings and other mass murders in the name of jihad as "beautiful."
"The Muslim Brotherhood has figured that they can be successful promoting radical change from within the U.S. while supporting the armed struggle outside the U.S., primarily through fundraising and closely associated Palestinian terrorist organizations," says former FBI special agent George Sadler, who after 9/11 investigated the Brotherhood from the bureau's Washington field office.
While its secret writings call for conquering the U.S. through political infiltration, mass conversion and immigration, it does not rule out violent jihad when the time is right and all its "infrastructure" is in place and strong, Guandolo says. To that end, the Brotherhood has set up jihad training camps inside America where its foot soldiers conduct paramilitary exercises, including firearms and other weapons training.
After 9/11, a top CAIR official in Washington led a group of young Muslim men in Northern Virginia in jihadi weapons training here and in Pakistan.
Court records reveal the group chauffeured the 9/11 hijackers' spiritual counselor, Anwar Awlaki, to their Falls Church, Va., meetings, before Awlaki fled to Yemen, where he now directs al-Qaida terrorist attacks against America.
Earlier this month, the leader of a North Carolina terrorist ring influenced by the Brotherhood pleaded guilty to charges of waging violent jihad.
The FBI recorded Daniel Patrick Boyd, a Muslim convert, saying he would "make jihad right here in America." Boyd allegedly cased the U.S. Marine Corps headquarters in Quantico, Va., for terrorist attack. Agents found 24 guns and more than 27,000 rounds of ammunition during a raid of his home.
They also found a copy of "In the Shade of the Quran," a book written by the late Muslim Brotherhood leader Sayyid Qutb of Egypt, bin Laden's spiritual mentor.
Despite public claims to the contrary, the Brotherhood is still a dangerous organization, investigators and prosecutors agree. It has stated clearly in its recently declassified U.S. charter that it considers the United States to be its enemy.
Ultimately, "the Muslim Brotherhood is in America to destroy our Constitution and replace it with Shariah," warns a group of former military and law enforcement officials writing in "Shariah: The Threat to America," a book published by the Washington-based Center for Security Policy. The officials are using the book to help brief lawmakers and other government officials about the threat, warning them that they are prime targets of ongoing Brotherhood influence and espionage operations.
Inside the wire
Still, the Obama administration has actively courted the Brotherhood.
During the Cairo rioting, which was organized in part by the Brotherhood, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs urged Mubarak to open elections to "important non-secular actors" such as the Brotherhood.
In a stunning policy reversal, the administration in early 2009 lifted the ban preventing Egyptian Muslim activist Tariq Ramadan from entering the U.S. Ramadan, the grandson of Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna, was barred in 2004 after allegedly raising money for terrorists.
Under the advisement of a Muslim White House aide tied to the Brotherhood, Obama invited the Muslim Brotherhood to his 2009 Cairo speech to Muslims worldwide, in spite of the group's ban.
Currently, "many Muslim advisers to the U.S. government are Muslim Brothers or sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood cause," Guandolo said. And they are "advising the U.S. national leadership and our national security apparatus on how to respond to the events in Egypt and elsewhere."
Republican Rep. Sue Myrick of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence accused the administration of "watering down the stated goals and ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood so they could create space to engage the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt," as well as at home.
Democrats aren't the only ones downplaying the threat.
Khan, an American Conservative Union board member, asserts that ISNA and CAIR are not fronts for the Muslim Brotherhood, and have not conspired to raise money inside the U.S. for terrorists.
He says they never should have been designated unindicted co-conspirators by the government.
"The federal government has looked into these accusations [and] found they're completely baseless," Khan claimed.
In fact, the FBI has cut off ties to CAIR's national office and its 30 chapters across the country pending further investigation of its ties to Hamas.
"Until we can resolve whether there continues to be a connection between CAIR or its executives and Hamas, the FBI does not view CAIR as an appropriate liaison partner," said assistant FBI Director Richard Powersin a 2009 letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee."The FBI has suspended all formal outreach activities with CAIR."
Mueller earlier this month reiterated the ban remains in effect: "We do not have a relationship with CAIR."
U.S. District Judge Jorge A. Solis, moreover, has refused ISNA's and CAIR's requests to strike their names from court documents listing them as unindicted co-conspirators in the HLF trial, the largest terror-financing case in U.S. history.
His 20-page ruling, written in July 2009 and recently unsealed, cites "ample evidence" that ISNA, NAIT and CAIR participated in a "criminal conspiracy" to support Hamas terrorists. (An appellate court in Denver said in a recent opinion that the list, which was attached to the government's pre-trial brief, should not have been published, since unindicted co-conspirator lists are not ordinarily made public. It did not, however, grant the groups' request for a court pronouncement that they were not connected to terrorists.)
As it turns out, Khan's late father, Mahboob Khan, helped found ISNA. Each year, ISNA bestows an annual Muslim "community service" award in his memory.
Mahboob Khan also established a mosque – MCA of Santa Clara, Calif. – which the U.S. Brotherhoodlists as one of "our organizations" in its secret manifesto seized by the FBI and recently declassified.
What's more, Khan's mother, Malika Khan, serves on the executive committee of CAIR's San Francisco chapter. CAIR-SFBA recentlyposted a flyer on its website urging Muslims not to cooperate with the FBI in terrorism investigations.
Suhail Khan himself has served on ISNA and CAIR committees and panels and spoken at their conferences and other events.

There Are 38 Levels in the Federal Government Above Top Secret: Exploratory Videos
The Hierarchy of the US Military: Flow Chart

Do you believe that truth might be stranger than fiction?
Do you believe that fictional accounts in popular motion pictures might imitate or even leak certain unspeakable "above top secrets" truths? There are some interesting citizen journalist videos circulating around these days about what is purported to exist "above top secret" in the US military. It seemed almost too convenient that in the UK a major motion picture film has now been produced, a supposedly fictional account, which reiterates what many of these truth reporters and top military brass eye witness accounts are saying on video. I find that an interesting juxtaposition of fact and fiction in the same slice of time and space: about 2 to 3 years. Don't you? Below is the growing collection of videos I am finding on this subject. Make sure you also visit The Orion Conspiracy motion picture film's official website.
According to the 'script' of The Orion Conspiracy, our own US military will commence a fraudulent "faked" alien invasion of the world soon to solidify their control of all people, using the new global "extra-terrestrial enemy to replace the outdated older "war on terror" imaginary enemy. Here are some related articles that i suggest you read which tie this material together, and reveal the bigger picture:

[ Footnote: If you have watched the 2 videos just above this text from start to finish, please note that The Urantia Foundation in Chicago Illinois refers to the collection of Divinely transmitted documents received between 1917 and 1935, that comprise the 2097 pages of the Urantia Book as the "Fifth Epochal Revelation of Truth to Humankind."
That phrase "Fifth Epochal" would denote that we are now living in the beginning of a Fifth Epoch for humankind, and that there have been four great epochs prior to this one. That fact fully corroborates what is being said in this apparently "fictional" video scenario above. I happen to find that fascinating.
Extremely delicate top secret truths and revelations which are being leaked into the scripts of motion pictures [purposefully] often use this tactic. Great, terrible and even monstrous truths can be revealed to uninformed audiences under the guise of "fiction" in order to save lives and protect those who have allowed such information to be leaked. All truth researchers who are advanced in their studies know this. I happen to be both a truth researcher and a lifelong student of the Urantia Book, and among the many dozens of other corroborating facts I am discovering which continue to verify the accuracy of the book's revelations, I have discovered this fact tonight. The Urantia Book's title itself corroborates what this man is teaching in his lecture about the number of past epochs for humankind's existence, our present epoch being the Fifth. I thought this little bit of background information would be of interest. I am sure there may also be other obscure religious texts and / or esoteric documents which make reference to these great epochs or ages of time as well.
The Urantia Book defines a "dispensation" or an "epoch" as approximately 500,000 years. Has there then been 2.5 million years of actual upright bipedal intelligent life on this world? 5 x 500,000 = 2.5 million. How many times has some sort of highly advanced civilized life arisen on earth, only to destroy itself, or be destroyed by an "Act of God" and then to begin again? ]

DHS Wants Your Iphone to Become Your Spy Phone

Patriot ALERT: DHS Designed Smart Phone App for Snitching on Friends, Neighbors, Attempting to Market App to Patriots By Naming it "PatriotAPP"
I have been wondering for at least 2 or 3 years why the big heated rush is on by BIG RETAIL to make sure every American owns a Smart Phone. Every night while I work online I watch the TV blast "smart phone ads" in my face nonstop every 12 minutes. It's not just annoying, it's another mass marketing tsunami of "buy this. use these, make sure you have one, you MUST own an iphone…"blah blah blah overkill.
I just saw something on Twitter, and now I finally get it. It was in my face the whole time. It's NOT about giving you the apparent cool convenience of making a Youtube video and posting it every time your hinky neighbors fight in their front yard at 2 am. Nope, but they want you to think it is. What it's about is:
Surveillance, surveillance, surveillance.
DHS wants to know two things:
WHO are the people in America who consider themselves to be patriots? DHS wants them on a specific list.
And… WHERE will these "patriotic" people be at any given moment, 24-7 in America, on planet earth?
Well now DHS has an APP for that. You won't believe what they named it, and how they are trying to market this ugly little thing:
Introducing the "PATRIOT APP" [ Note to self: Observe how DHS named this app to try to get patriots to out themselves by purchasing, or downloading and using this app to SNOOP ON THEIR OWN FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS. Like any true patriot would do that. We would only do that to warn each other about the radical Muslim building bombs in his basement next door, or the DHS employee living next door to make sure NOT to confide in. ]
A new iPhone App with the misleading name 'PatriotApp' attempts to draw on the power of the patriot movement, turning smartphone users into a gigantic snitch network. You might think an app with such a patriotic name might have useful functions like a pocket constitution or quotes from our forefathers. But contrary to the services one might expect, this app allows users to report any 'suspicious' behavior directly linking them with top government agencies.
Much like the new DHS program 'If you see something, say something' this app is meant to turn average citizens into a network of spies feeding information back to the federal government.
Citizen Concepts, a company formed by insiders from DHS, defines the use of such an app on their homepage:
Citizen Concepts announces the launch of PatriotAppTM, the world's first iPhone application that empowers citizens to assist government agencies in creating safer, cleaner, and more efficient communities via social networking and mobile technology. This app was founded on the belief that citizens can provide the most sophisticated and broad network of eyes and ears necessary to prevent terrorism, crime, environmental negligence, or other malicious behavior.
Simply download, report (including pictures) and submit information to relevant government agencies, employers, or publish incident data to social network tools.
Every REAL patriot needs to understand what this evil little app is about. It is about two things:
1) OUTING PEOPLE who identify themselves as patriots so their Iphone's GPS location can be tagged, therefore giving DHS a nonstop 24-7 feed on where they are, and what they are doing. This is all easily done using the backside of the Iphone or other smart phone architecture, and by accessing records kept by the phone service provider.
2) Getting people to begin to think it's "patriotic" to snoop on their neighbors. More social engineering to re-train the American mind for the many dark uses that DHS thinks it should be used.
My opinion is this: Unless my neighbor is killing his wife, beating his kids, building bombs, planning to blow up bridges, or in general is actively plotting real and genuine evil against other Americans, I pretty much don't want to know, or care what he is doing, In essence, I would like to grant my neighbor the same modicum of privacy that I would expect for myself. It's the civilized way to live when you can reach out of your window, and practically scratch the glass of your next door neighbor's window. I really do not trust or appreciate DHS, who is funded by the taxes that I pay, trying to name a "spy and report" app for an Iphone in such a way that it sounds "patriotic" to snitch. That is the essence of the dark side of new world order social engineering, which is designed to change human behavior, and to change the way people feel about their changing human behavior.
Step back and think this over, before you run out the door with your fully loaded, amped up, apped out smart phone. Everywhere you go and everything you do, DHS can access those activities remotely and monitor you, if you put that app on your phone. They most likely can monitor you without the added app, but I can guarantee there is a "secret back end" on that so called "patriot app" that will help DHS to monitor the person who downloaded it. DHS wants to know at all times what us PATRIOTS are doing, just in case we really do decide to just stop paying our taxes en masse and shut the federal government down in 6 months flat. Yeah, I guess they would want a heads up on that.
OK folks you are forewarned. Beware of "patriotic sounding smart phone apps" designed by DHS to fool you into thinking that snooping on Fred and Wilma is ok, and therefore allowing DHS to snoop on you in the process. DHS is Busted! And before we close this subject you might want to have a look at Defective by Design's pdf report.
FYI: The smartest phone I own is an inexpensive throw away cell, which I toss about every 6 months for a new one. My cell phone bill is about $25 per month, perfect. I use an actual real digital camera for taking photos and videos, and I do not "text." I enjoy speaking to people in real time, you know in actuality, "live"… what we used to call "face time."
When you have spent a lifetime holding a camera in your hands, you know, a real one, with a great 400 millimeter super zoom that can focus in on the feathers of a bird at 800 yards, or catch a hummingbird in mid flight, then you feel kind of foolish standing there trying to actually take good photographs with a little techno-wafer that looks more like something you should dip in coffee than a camera. So I guess I'm old school. And I'm glad.
Special thanks to @Carold501 on Twitter for the heads up on this. I think you all might want to follow her. Smart lady.

Cues of control modulate the ascription of object ownership
Auteurs: Claudia Scorolli, Anna M. Borghi, Luca Tummolini
Gepubliceerd in: Psychological Research | Uitgave 5/2018
Knowing whether an object is owned and by whom is essential to avoid costly conflicts. We hypothesize that everyday interactions around objects are influenced by a minimal sense of object ownership grounded on respect of possession. In particular, we hypothesize that tracking object ownership can be influenced by any cue that predicts the establishment of individual physical control over objects. To test this hypothesis we used an indirect method to determine whether visual cues of physical control like spatial proximity to an object, temporal priority in seeing it, and touching it influence this minimal sense of object ownership. In Experiment 1 participants were shown a neutral object located on a table, in the reaching space of one of two characters. In Experiment 2 one character was the first to find the object then another character appeared and saw the object. In Experiments 3 and 4, spatial proximity, temporal priority, and touch are pitted against each other to assess their relative weight. After having seen the scenes, participants were required to judge the sensibility of sentences in which ownership of the object was ascribed to one of the two characters. Responses were faster when the objects were located in the reaching space of the character to whom ownership was ascribed in the sentence and when ownership was ascribed to the character who was the first to find the object. When contrasting the relevant cues, results indicate that touch is stronger than temporal priority in modulating the ascription of object ownership. However, all these effects were also influenced by contextual social cues like the gender of both characters and participants, the presence of a third-party observer, and the co-presence of characters. Consistently with our hypothesis, results indicate that many different cues of physical control influence the ascription of ownership in daily social contexts.

One of the most common questions we get when meeting new people is, "So, what do you do?" Most of us have a standard answer about our profession, but there are some people who have jobs that you might not even know existed. More importantly, everyone's job is important and in some way improves the lives of others. Think about every job that affects your household; there are a lot.
I was reminded of this yesterday when in Perkins Cove, Ogunquit, Maine. This is a lobstering port and a beautiful place with shops and restaurants. While exploring we came across a boat named the SS Crusher that had been dry docked (see picture). It was a cool looking boat and I wondered what was up with it. Then, I found that a children's book, The Pride Of Perkins Cove, had been written about it by Brenda Yorke Goodale about the boat.
So, of course I had to dig deeper and found that the boat and it's harbormaster have very important jobs. When it gets cold, and it gets cold in Maine; Perkins Cove freezes. Because the Cove is a working port, it has to stay open, so Harbormaster Fred Mayo spends hours every day breaking the ice. The town's special boat, the SS Crusher, is built for the task of "crushing" through the ice. Before yesterday I did not even know what a lobstering port looked liked, let alone that freezing was a problem.
A few weeks ago I read a great book by Shawn Achor entitled Big Potential: How Transforming The Pursuit Of Success Raises Our Achievement, Happiness, and Well-Being. In the book, Achor points out that we usually just give a very quit and boring answer of what we do for our job. He argued, however, that we need to quit this and give what he calls the "elevated speech;" not to be mistaken with the elevator speech. The "elevated speech" should be us telling what we really do and why what we do is so important. The example I like to give here is the answer that we hear so many times from teachers: "Oh, I'm just a teacher." I'll admit I'm guilty of having done this. But, are you kidding me, "just a teacher?" I think not! Actually, I hope not!
Let's take a look at teaching as a very significant profession, or "job." Here is my elevated version: "Teachers have been given a great gift – the power to change lives, each day I must be inspirational. I am a significant human being helping other human beings to realize their full potential and go on and make a positive difference in their world." What do you think?
engaged – involved in, enthusiastic about and committed to their work and workplace (Gallup, 2017). This translates to only 4 in 10 U.S. employees strongly agreeing that in the last year, they have had opportunities to learn and grow (Gallup,2017). This is a huge engagement issue. Gallup (2017) results suggested that by moving that ratio to eight in 10 employees, organizations could realize 44% less absenteeism, 41% fewer safety incidents, 24% higher retention, and 16% higher productivity. I guess it is time to elevate those we serve.
Just like the story of the SS Crusher, we all have unique gifts, jobs to do, and make a significant difference in the world. Let's get engaged and elevated! What's your elevated story?
Today, I had the honor of being in attendance at the 2nd Annual Global Smart Manufacturing Summit in Berlin, Germany. One of the topics we grappled with was of what does Industry 4.0 mean? Ron Zahavi, Chief Strategist for IoT Standards and Consortia, Microsoft Corporation did a great job of walking us through some history.
Interestingly, in all these cases technology and mechanization are involved, but in the revolutions of Industry 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0, I wonder if we forgot how important people are. We must remember as we navigate Industry 4.0 that people are more important that the devices and technology.
In my world of educating young scholars and creating education policy, we have a responsibility to make sure as we move to Industry 4.0 to put people at the forefront. We do not want to make the same human mistakes with 4.0 that we made with the first three revolutions.
I really believe more than ever that we must make sure that we create space for industry to do as much of the training of our students as possible. Industry is in a good position to do this. What we have to do, though, is identify the transferable skills students need and institutionalize those skills in the framework of the internship learning being done in partnership with industry. This is crucial because of the mobility of our students.
We must be educating our students on the new things being done with Industry 4.0, but must also be educating them on the benefits. In other words, answering the question: How does this make life easier? Not just always pointing to financial improvement and the bottom line. We must begin to develop a workforce made up of the right quantity and right quality of workers. The skills we are preparing students with must match the needs of the workplace.
Industry 4.0 will require new skill sets, and manufacturers will need to attract the right talent. This may involve partnering with k-12 schools to train students. Existing training programs may need to be expanded to include new technologies that are introduced to the marketplace. Manufacturers also need to recruit for Industry 4.0, which may differ from how they have done it in the past. Both business and industry and education will need to stop all focus being on qualifications determined by degrees and certificates, companies should recruit for capabilities to succeed. These capabilities will include specialized skills.
For us to compete during Industry 4.0, it will require us to conduct constant iteration and be flexible. It's not about buying software or purchasing a curriculum and then watching it all play out. To compete in Industry 4.0, the education sector and manufacturers must be flexible and agile in the face of change, and, most importantly, partner together.
This past weekend at the kickoff of our Indy 3D Leadership Program for education leadership we did a session on norm building for our learning journey. I had put together a few example norms to get the juices flowing. One of the examples was #9. Explore Heuristically. This caused quite the discussion. Of course, that was my intent!
I have to give credit where credit is due on the thought of exploring heuristically. This came from my good friend and great graphic facilitator, Mike Fleisch. Everything he does as a facilitator is heuristic and I really respect that about him and have learned a lot from him on how to let learning happen organically.
Any approach to problem solving, learning, or discovery that employs a practical method not guaranteed to be optimal or perfect (Wikipedia).
Often enough the search ends in no overt positive conclusion (Dictionary.com).
Describing an approach to learning by trying without necessarily having an organized hypothesis or way of proving that the results proved or disproved the hypothesis. That is, "seat-of-the-pants" or "trial-by-error" learning (WhatIs.com).
Now let's dig a little deeper. It is really deriving an answer from experience. In other words, enabling a person to discover or learn something for themselves. So, wouldn't it make sense to learn heuristically when in a group, from the experience of everyone in the group. This gives us the chance to explore the possibilities rather than a set of rules. Leadership learning developed by most organizations seems to be one where system developed provisions over-shadows individuals taking personal responsibility for their leadership learning. I believe we must endeavor to create a balance between organization and individual agendas, with the pendulum swung more toward the individual side. Amazingly, we talk a lot about differentiating and individualization of education for our students but we don't do a very good job of it with adults. Furthermore, it has been my experience that adults really like to learn in the same way we learned when we were kids. Therefore, we should create more leadership learning models that make use of heuristic pedagogy and tools.
To me this was a great model of heuristic learning. I designed this model building activity as a starting point only, intended to help leaders identify the state of their current knowledge about leadership as well as their future professional development needs. The Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head models were used to show his or her current leadership knowledge profile and the knowledge fields on which he or she will need to focus their learning in the future. Heuristically, the Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head model building guided discovery and investigation. This allowed participants a rare chance for reflection. This reflection allowed participants to learn things about themselves and for themselves.
As opposed to traditional learning which usually employs facts, theories and postulations, heuristic learning involves testing, doing, practice, trying, and listening to others' experiences. One of my heroes, Thomas Edison, was the ideal role model of learning heuristically. You all know the famous story of how Thomas Edison invented the incandescent light bulb after 1000s of unsuccessful attempts. In fact we have all heard the quote from Edison when he said, "I have not failed 1000 times, but I have discovered 1000 ways how not to invent the light bulb." Are you exploring heuristically? Better yet, how are you helping others explore heuristically?
We've all seen it in a TV show. The character goes to her boss or parents with a bright idea, the idea is ridiculed, and then (sometimes in the same breath), the idea is repeated right back, word for word. And, get this, it then becomes a great idea and he is glad he thought of it, too!
Unfortunately, these people do exist. In every company, in every organization, in every community, in every political party. Some might not have as bad a case of it as others, but at some point, we will run into one of these people, or an entire organization of these vane people.
Furthermore, I have even experienced not being able to reach compromise or consensus because certain individuals ideas weren't being used or he had not come up with the idea. This level of ego and vanity is amazing to me.
When faced with these type of situations I always remind myself and the group I am working with of the great thought of our 33rd President, Harry S. Truman, "It Is Amazing What You Can Accomplish If You Do Not Care Who Gets the Credit." My choice has always been to favor the accomplishment of the idea, rather than worrying about getting credit for it. Really, very few accomplishments can be credited to any single person anyway.
This very topic was the subject of the chapter I was reading this morning in the awesome book I am currently reading, Leading Like Madiba: Leadership Lessons From Nelson Mandela by Martin Kalungu Banda. In this chapter, Kalungu Banda teaches us that sharing the credit is a mark of great leadership. An interview of Nelson Mandela is the subject here where he shows that success is often the result of concerted effort by many people. In the interview Mandela says, "…the reality of our struggle is that no individual among us can claim to have played a greater role than the rest." To me, this says it all – it took (or will take) everyone, not just one!
We have all seen people who have become so caught up in what they think they have accomplished that they forget there are/were a lot of of others working on that same issue with them.
Even if it is your idea, would you rather be right, or get the idea implemented?
How much do you value your vanity, your pride?
This guest post is an excerpt from The New Leadership Literacies (Johansen, 2017).
David Rock is the founder the Neuroleaderhip Institute in New York, the first research group that is integrating neuroscience and leadership principles. They are studying things like job performance.
They argue that many of the classic performance review systems trigger fight or flight mechanism in our brain and have exactly opposite effect from what we like to have. They draw upon neuroscience research and bridge to what they research means in a work environment.
The SCARF model suggests that, in order to be balanced and productive, our brains need to feel a sense of status, some certainty that provides grounding, autonomy to for self strength, balanced with a sense of relatedness to others, and finally a sense of fairness in the system. Without these brain balance basics, we feel sapped of energy.

Anne Ridler's first book, Poems was published in 1939 and she continued to write poetry until her death in 2001. She was also a librettist and wrote several plays and verse plays. She was an editor at Faber and Faber, a colleague of T. S. Eliot, a friend of C. S. Lewis and a devotee of Charles Williams. She was awarded an OBE in 2001. Some of her better known poems are I who am here dissembled for T S Eliot's 60th birthday ("Poetry is, as you said, a mug's game. The poem, written, is lost...") Nothing is Lost, sometimes read at funerals ("Nothing is lost. we are too sad to know that, or too blind...") and the late poem Snakeshead Fritillaries. Her poetry is inspired by her Anglican faith, by landscape and nature and by her family life.
The Landscape was the occasion and the vessel.

Shopping on Zalora with ShopBack ! – Discounts & Cashback all at once !!
It's the Chinese New Year festive where everyone are stocking up on their food, groceries, and planting their wardrobes with new clothing. And I am no exception with a perfectly brilliant excuse to shop more without guilt! Hehehe ! But what makes things easier in our generation is that we are accessing the internet so often that even without stepping out of the house and rushing through the mad crowds in shopping malls, the online sensation provides a convenient alternative to purchase what we want whenever we need.
While I love to shop online for clothes and stuffs, you need to be a brilliant shopper because if you do it often enough, the savings can be pretty substantial if you just know how to SHOP SMART. ShopBack effectively consolidate all the major online brands onto a single site where the most discounts PLUS cashback can be found.
A matching pair of black heels should complement this dress better…and here it is ! And just nice, I qualify for free shipping !
Guess what ? Using the promo code from ShopBack, I get an additional 15% off my purchases ! My total bill comes up to 59.32SGD instead of the original 69.80SGD. That's a whopping 10.48SGD discount just like that ! As simple as it can get !
And well, who doesn't love discounts especially where there are no strings attached ?
All done in a breeze !! I must say the discount codes are indeed easily applied, and there are no hidden agenda or terms and conditions otherwise. I have tried some other sites with the same functions, and coupons or voucher applications are always found to have errors during checkouts. And when you tried to enquire about it, they will list down all the weird terms and conditions that you did not fulfill, and therefore the codes doesn't work. Ok fine.. and you know when such happens, you would simply ditch the purchase.
What makes ShopBack a further wonderful platform is that you are entitled to a certain percentage of your purchase as CashBack on top of the discounts that was already applied. And yes, it means REAL CASH back to your pockets without the need for further purchases or whatsoever, to be entitled to them.
You can opt to have the CashBack transferred to your designated bank account by the end of every month ! And well, that literally hits what you always hear in adverts, the more you spend, the more you earn and it's that real for once !
Well, does that tempt you to shop more ? Hehehe… It certainly does to me !
So now I am a happy gal with a very satisfying retail therapy ! Kudos to ShopBack Singapore!

In Grafana's Dashboard Metrics tab, i am using metric Average and it's value obj1.key1 and grouping by Date histogram using the time field start but the graph is not getting plotted as all the values obtained in the response are null even though they arent null.
Does Grafana support querying nested structures ? if not, will it do in the future ?
