Secure America’s Border


CSP Provides the Knowledge Tools

Frank Gaffney has sent an email that has a hook – a petition, and a goal – fund raising. Frank Gaffney is the Founder and President of the Center for Security Policy (CSP) in Washington, D.C. Mr. Gaffney is the host of Secure Freedom Radio, a nationally-syndicated radio program. Secure Freedom Radio is a part of the CSP strategy as a Counterjihad organization dedicated to America’s National Security especially against the threat of Radical Islam toward Americans. The CSP looks at the dissemination of Radical Islam via the fifth column aspects of the Muslim Brotherhood and their deceptive offshoots of Muslim-American organizations that outwardly attempt to promote the image of Moderate Islam and the mesmerization of the concept that Islam is peace on the non-Muslim American people yet have a Caliphate agenda to Islamize America.

The petition itself serves an awesome purpose if you can get past CSP fund raising. Although admittedly, CSP is an awesome organization to invest. Largely because most of the CSP educational resources are FREE. One of the points this email makes you aware of is that CSP is donor supported and receives no funding from the government. As if an Obama led U.S. government would ever support any actual Counterjihad strategy to keep America safe from any Caliphate agenda.

The petition is a part of CSP’s Secure Freedom Strategy:

(Washington, DC): If there were any lingering doubts that the United States and the rest of the Free World are losing a decades-long war with the Global Jihad Movement (GJM), events of the past week should have put them to rest. Murderous attacks in Europe, warnings by MI5 of more – and worse – to come, there and perhaps here and an intercepted plot to attack the U.S. Capitol are the most obvious indicators.

Less evident, but no less portentous, is the absence of the President of the United States from the Western effort to push back – compounded by his record of accommodation to, and collaboration with, those seeking to impose “blasphemy” and other restrictions driven by their shariah ideology at the expense of Americans’ constitutional freedoms.

Such developments have moved a remarkable, ad hoc group of highly skilled national security professionals to step forward and offer an alternative approach: a strategy for actually countering and defeating totalitarians and their supremacist ideology that has been proven effective in the one environment that matters: the real world.

This “Tiger Team” has been sponsored by the Center for Security Policy, an organization whose mode of operation from its founding 26 years ago has been modeled after the best of America’s military – its elite unconventional warfare units. As the “Special Forces in the War of Ideas,” the Center has pulled together, much as the real special operators would do, sixteen of the best in the business, individuals with unique and necessary skill sets for the mission at hand: Adapting the strategy that defeated the last totalitarian ideology that sought our destruction, Soviet communism.

At a National Press Club conference at noon on Friday, 16 January 2015, ten members of this Tiger Team will introduce and explain the component parts of READ ENTIRE PDF press release (NATIONAL SECURITY TIGER TEAM PRESENTS THE ‘SECURE FREEDOM STRATEGY’ FOR VICTORY OVER THE GLOBAL JIHAD MOVEMENT; CSP Press Release; 1/15/15)

On The Secure Freedom Strategy page at CSP one of the exponents of the strategy – Tommy Waller (a Marine Reserve Major – LinkedIn profile) - has a roughly four-minute video introducing the concept of Civilization Jihad:

The Secure Freedom email you are about to read is informative. At the very least it gives you a great idea to go to one of the great Internet sites to educate yourself on what many call Radical Islam – I just call it Islam. The petition link allows you to read the petition that will be sent to your Congressman according to your zip code. Then as you sign by clicking “submit,” you will be redirected to the donation page of CSP. If it’s in your budget, throw a little support toward the Center for Security Policy. If it’s not in your budget, feel good about doing the right thing for joining the CSP petition that will reach your Congressman. And of course take advantage of educating yourself at CSP. ( For that matter wouldn’t hold it against you to through a little financial love to your Blog Editor via the SlantRight 2.0 Paypal button or perhaps this Paypal link.)

The Petition is to encourage your Congressman to do this:

This petition is part of a targeted signature campaign being launched in response to elevated security concerns over the vulnerability of our country due the lax security of our southern border.

The link to the petition will include my name and email – CHANGE IT TO YOUR INFORMATION.

ISIS Camp 8 Miles From USA

Email sent by Frank J. Gaffney, Jr.

Response Action Network: Below please find a special message from one of our advertisers:


This petition formally requests that your U.S. Representative make defending the security and safety of the United States a top Congressional priority by supporting measures to fully guard, monitor and protect the 2,000 mile border between Mexico and the United States.

This petition is part of a targeted signature campaign being launched in response to elevated security concerns over the vulnerability of our country due the lax security of our southern border.

I do not want to alarm you. We are aware of no actionable intelligence of an immediate threat of violence in your vicinity or against the United States.

But there are growing concerns regarding the threat posed by documented numbers of drug and sex-traffickers, gang members and suspected jihadists who are taking advantage of the border's porousness.

It is widely known, for example, that Iran and its proxy, the terrorist organization Hezbollah, have had a presence in Latin America for years.

And most recently, ISIS, the notorious terrorist jihad group, has been discovered operating a camp about 8 miles from the U.S. border near Juarez in Mexico. And another ISIS cell in Puerto Palomas is close to the New Mexico towns of Columbus and Deming and has easy access to the United States.

And perhaps the gravest warning was sounded by the Home Secretary of Great Britain, a key ally in the war on terror, who stated that "ISIS could become the world's first truly terrorist state," and that "we will see the risk . . . that the terrorists will acquire chemical, biological or even nuclear weapons to attack us."

Some "experts" and Members of Congress dismiss these concerns. But as Pearl Harbor should have taught us, it is the nature of warfare to exploit surprise and vulnerability. And it is widely acknowledged that our insecure southern border offers enemies of this country abundant vulnerabilities and opportunities for surprise attacks.

In the words of the Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, Representative Michael McCaul:

"President Obama claims that our borders are more secure than ever before . . . This is simply not true. As of last count, only 44 percent of the border was under operational control.

"Just last year the Border Patrol apprehended almost half a million individuals along our Southern border -- representing only the people we know that are being stopped. We have no way of telling how many people we didn't catch, or what they brought with them."

WHY IS CONGRESS NEGLECTING TO TAKE THE COMMON-SENSE STEPS NEEDED TO PROTECT OUR BORDERS FROM THE LIKELIHOOD OF TERRORIST INTRUSION?

We believe a good part of the answer lies with the policies of Barack Obama.

President Obama's political agenda of dramatically increasing immigration appeals to many of his partisans. And the prospect of more and more aliens-turned-voters causes even some of his political opponents to shy away from taking key steps to secure our borders lest they alienate potentially influential voting blocs.

Politics, in short, has again taken precedence over Congress' responsibility to do what is right for our country -- which is why we have made the decision to launch this citizens' campaign and ask for your support by signing this letter to your Member of Congress.

As I will explain below, I must also request financial support of this effort with a contribution of at least $25.

But most importantly, please authorize your formal petition as quickly as possible.

HOW URGENT IS THE THREAT?

Surprise attacks are, by definition, "unlikely." That is why they are "surprise attacks." But there are often forewarnings.

For example, the surprise 9/11 attack was preceded by a failed attempt to bomb the World Trade Center years earlier.

And the Wall Street Journal last year ran an account of an attack on a California power station, reporting that the former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission "is calling it a terrorist act that, if it were widely replicated across the country, could take down the U.S. electric grid and black out much of the country."

And the intent of ISIS to launch attacks on shopping malls and kill as many Americans as possible is being widely reported.

Even the threat of nuclear or chemical terror attack, while also dismissed as "unlikely" by some, cannot be responsibly ruled out.

According to Marine Corps Gen. John Kelly, Commander of the U.S. Southern Command, "Terrorist organizations could seek to leverage . . . smuggling routes to move operatives with intent to cause grave harm to our citizens or even quite easily bring weapons of mass destruction into the United States."

The hard truth is, a mass-destruction assault on the U.S power grid, or financial or communications hubs, a population concentration such as a sporting event or shopping mall, or to our seat of government could be catastrophic to our nation.

And who would argue that such attacks are not being discussed, planned and encouraged right now as part of the global Jihad strategy in terror in training camps in places like Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia and countless other places around the world?

In light of this, we believe that leaving the "back door" of our nation unlocked, open and unguarded in the face of these gravely serious threats is utterly unacceptable.

THERE ARE SIMPLE, PRUDENT STEPS THAT CONGRESS CAN TAKE.

For example:

Under former Texas Governor Rick Perry, his state's Department of Public Safety, Border Patrol agents and other federal officials utilized an array of military-grade video cameras to monitor key crossing points along the Texas-Mexico frontier.

The cameras' feed was posted on the Internet, drawing on many thousands of volunteers to help monitor and alert the authorities to aliens sneaking across the border. This army of "online deputies" helped achieve a 92% rate of interception of individuals crossing the Rio Grande and elsewhere illegally. But, incredibly, this practical and proven system -- which could be very cost-effectively deployed across the entire U.S.-Mexico frontier -- has been discontinued.

In short, we have the technology, know-how and resources to secure our borders. That is not the issue.

WHAT IS NEEDED IS THE POLITICAL WILL TO ACT.

And that is why we are launching this campaign to educate and remind Congress of their prime responsibility to protect our country by protecting our borders -- and why your signature is so important.

Limited resources mean we must begin by focusing on certain key Members of Congress for this campaign. Our goal during this phase is to gather a minimum of 1,000 signatures from every targeted Congressional District.

YOU ARE ONE OF THE SIGNATURES NEEDED TO HELP MEET THIS GOAL.

Will you help out by signing your formal petition, indicating your authorization of its language and purpose, and, if possible, making a contribution of $25, $50, $100 or more to support this campaign and our other research and education projects?

Secure Freedom receives no funding from the government. We are entirely independent -- so we must rely on voluntary contributions like yours to sustain our efforts.

Even just the mailing portion of a campaign such as this costs upwards of $100,000 for printing, postage and processing. And, if we have the resources, we hope to heighten the awareness of this critical issue through a campaign of TV, radio and print ads, op-ed articles, position papers and studies to be distributed to the press and Congress.

But right now, your signature on the petition to your U.S. Representative is the single most important step in moving this campaign forward.

And your contribution of at least $25 will significantly strengthen and heighten the impact of your involvement, enabling us to urge more citizens to contact more Members of Congress.

So please do what you can. Please sign your petition, and make whatever contribution you can to help support this campaign and sustain our ongoing efforts to promote a national security philosophy of Peace Through Strength.

We face very real, very ominous threats from some of the most ruthless and brutal adversaries our nation has ever encountered. They have said -- and demonstrated -- that they will do anything to harm and destroy us.

Protecting our "back door" to keep these sworn enemies of freedom and America from literally walking in and doing us harm is just common sense.

Please ask your Member of Congress to act responsibly and protect our borders.

Sincerely,

Frank J. Gaffney, Jr.
President, Secure Freedom

P.S. Some try to discount these warnings as "alarmist." But U.S. Representative Lamar Smith, chair of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, recently substantiated our concern over the border's insecurity, stating flatly: "The border is not more secure than it's ever been." And with reports that ISIS has now set up a camp in Mexico, just a few miles away from the border, I feel it is grossly irresponsible for Congress to wait for another devastating surprise attack on our nation before it takes concrete and long-overdue action.

This year Congress will authorize well over half a trillion dollars in defense spending in order to protect our nation from jihadist enemies and others now on the march around the globe -- from Iraq and Iran to Afghanistan and Africa to our own hemisphere.

Taking steps to protect us from harm right here at home just makes common sense. And choosing NOT to do so -- for fear of "offending" the political interests of pro-immigration voter-blocs -- is grossly negligent and irresponsible. We are, after all at war. The global Jihad mission to destroy the West --and in particular America -- is fully known. And our lack of defense of our homeland has already cost thousands of American lives.

If you agree, please let your Member of Congress know how you feel ASAP.

Please sign the petition for immediate transmission to your U.S. Representative. And please consider making a contribution of at least $25 to support this critical effort.

Thank you.

The number one priority of every Member of Congress should be to protect the security and safety of our nation and our citizens.

F.J.G.
