Former DHS employee ADMITS Obama forced them to SCRUB records of Muslims with terror ties

This is something from earlier this year but it’s really important, especially in light of the Orlando mass shooting.

Phillip Haney, a former DHS employee and whistleblower, wrote earlier this year that he was ordered to scrub database records of Muslims with terrorist ties in late 2009 by his superiors in the Obama administration. And he knew that the implications of scrubbing those records that would echo into the present:

After leaving my 15 year career at DHS, I can no longer be silent about the dangerous state of America’s counter-terror strategy, our leaders’ willingness to compromise the security of citizens for the ideological rigidity of political correctness—and, consequently, our vulnerability to devastating, mass-casualty attack.

Just before that Christmas Day attack, in early November 2009, I was ordered by my superiors at the Department of Homeland Security to delete or modify several hundred records of individuals tied to designated Islamist terror groups like Hamas from the important federal database, the Treasury Enforcement Communications System (TECS). These types of records are the basis for any ability to “connect dots.” Every day, DHS Customs and Border Protection officers watch entering and exiting many individuals associated with known terrorist affiliations, then look for patterns. Enforcing a political scrubbing of records of Muslims greatly affected our ability to do that. Even worse, going forward, my colleagues and I were prohibited from entering pertinent information into the database.

A few weeks later, in my office at the Port of Atlanta, the television hummed with the inevitable Congressional hearings that follow any terrorist attack. While members of Congress grilled Obama administration officials, demanding why their subordinates were still failing to understand the intelligence they had gathered, I was being forced to delete and scrub the records. And I was well aware that, as a result, it was going to be vastly more difficult to “connect the dots” in the future—especially before an attack occurs.

As the number of successful and attempted Islamic terrorist attacks on America increased, the type of information that the Obama administration ordered removed from travel and national security databases was the kind of information that, if properly assessed, could have prevented subsequent domestic Islamist attacks like the ones committed by Faisal Shahzad (May 2010), Detroit “honor killing” perpetrator Rahim A. Alfetlawi (2011); Amine El Khalifi, who plotted to blow up the U.S. Capitol (2012); Dzhokhar or Tamerlan Tsarnaev who conducted the Boston Marathon bombing (2013); Oklahoma beheading suspect Alton Nolen (2014); or Muhammed Yusuf Abdulazeez, who opened fire on two military installations in Chattanooga, Tennessee (2015).

The media doesn’t even look into this stuff. All they care about is bashing Trump, when Obama is the one with blood on his hands. Obama is the one who pulled out of Iraq. Obama is the one who supported the overthrow of Egypt, Libya, and Syria. Obama is the one who supported the very groups that became ISIS and has done nothing to stop them from growing and terrorizing the world. And the list goes on and on.

Say what you will about Trump, but there’s no way he could ever be as bad as the current disaster in the White House or the one who is currently the Democrat nominee.
