Whoa "Jihadi Dad" – Orlando Terrorist's Father Seddique Mateen Visited State Dept. – Political Activist, Taliban Sympathizer…

This is a little disturbing.  Remember Amed Mohamed and the exploited islamic opportunism with 14-year-old “clock boy” bomb hoax from Irving Texas and how his father was running for political office in Sudan?
Well, apparently 29-year-old terrorist Omar Mateen (below left) comes from a similarly engaged political family and his father, Seddique Mateen (below right), was/is running for national office in Afghanistan and not happy with the government of Pakistan.

BREAKING – Florida Senator Bill Nelson: "The Orlando Nightclub Attack Was ISIS Inspired"…

It just got a little harder for President Obama to deny the terrorist attack motive.
Earlier Senator Marco Rubio alluded to it.  Just now Florida Senator Bill Nelson confirmed that Senate Intelligence Staff are confident the Pulse Nightclub Attack was an “ISIS inspired attack“. –link–
Senator Nelson quotes Dianne Feinstein who is a member of the exclusive “Intelligence Gang of Eight” oversight committee.   In addition Representative Adam Schiff (House Intelligence Committee) states Omar Mateen “pledged allegiance to ISIS“.

Florida Officials Bring Muslim Imam To Press Conference – Promptly Blames Guns…

red_hair
Oddly, the Florida State and Federal DOJ/FBI officials in Orlando did not bring a Christian, Jewish or Mormon faith leader to the press conference for an update on the terrorist attack. Nor did they explain why they only requested attendance by a Florida Imam.  Hmmmm….
(Via Gateway Pundit) Orlando officials invited Imam Muhammad Musri, the president and senior imam of the Islamic Society of Central Florida, to speak to reporters. This was the first press conference held by Orlando officials after the massacre. No Christian or Jewish leaders were invited to speak to reporters.
Of course the pathetic Imam says “do not sensationalize” and “more gun controls are needed”:

R.A.T. Romney and The Rejected Republican Race-Baiters…

Rat FinksIt does not matter whether the Anti-Trumpist of the day emanates from Washington DC (congress), from media (punditry), or from the special interest groups doing the bidding of Wall Street (US CoC), the ultimate thread which connects them all is money. Lots, and lots, of money. These are financial interests.
Not meaning to be so simplistic, but it’s always about the money. Behind every globalist word, behind every globalist ideology, behind the convenient use of pop culture – you find the motives of power interests all circle around money.
Corporate media does an effective job promoting opinion that serves their interests. Admitting this is not cynicism, it is our reality. Controversies are used as tools, simply intended to sway opinion and applied when needed to serve those interests.
That is what they do.  That’s what this is.  That’s all this is.
Think about the current pearl clutching class of DC congress critters, in conjunction with the recently rolled out Mitt Romney approach, aghast with what they call Trump’s racism; or more recently with Romney’s new talking point: “trickle down racism“…
Contrast the accusation against the reality of the GOPe behavior in the Mississippi 2014 primary where race was specifically used BY THEM to retain Thad Cochran’s seat in the Senate.  Was mittens concerned about McConnell’s use of race to advance the GOPe objectives?
Nah, not so much.  Funny that.
