BACHMANN: ORLANDO IS 'WAKE-UP CALL OF ALL WAKE-UP CALLS'

Former congresswoman relied on 'patriot' DHS whistleblower Philip Haney

Former Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., urged Americans to stop deceiving themselves about the threat posed by radical Islamic terrorism and admit the obvious: We’re at war.

“This is the wake-up call of all wake-up calls,” Bachmann told WND. “This is an unbelievable tragedy that we saw. It isn’t just a mass shooting; it’s another jihadist attack against America. America is at war. 

We’re under attack on our own soil. Remember, George W. Bush said we’d have to fight them there so we don’t have to fight them here. Well guess what, we’re fighting them here.”

Bachmann made the comments to WND editor Art Moore, co-author with former Department of Homeland Security agent Philip Haney of “See Something, Say Nothing.” 

Haney, who spearheaded investigations at the National Targeting Center, specialized in uncovering Islamic terrorist networks. 

However, his investigation was shut down by the Obama administration because of fears his research showed a connection between terrorism and Islam. Since the Orlando attack, Haney has alleged a connection between Sunday’s terrorist attack in Orlando and the attack in San Bernardino, California, in December.

Bachmann spoke of her experience working with Haney and contrasted his professionalism with the Obama administration’s seeming determination to promote a mythical version of a peaceful Islam.

“What Philip’s story is telling us is that we’re going down the wrong road,” Bachmann said. “Innocent Americans have gotten killed by following this false fantasy delusional view of Islam, that Islam has nothing to do with terrorism. … Not all Muslims believe it, but this radical ideology is subscribed to by people who continue to carry out these terrorist attacks.”

Bachmann slammed President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton as not really serious about stopping terrorism.

“Just as we saw, the FBI did in fact conduct not just one, not just two, but three interviews with this killer down in Orlando,” Bachmann charged. 

“Three interviews, and they couldn’t stop this guy. He had all sorts of, not even red flags, but blaring billboards about who he was, who his connections were and what his intentions were. And we still couldn’t stop him.”

“If we had all these clues and we still couldn’t stop him, we really aren’t serious about stopping terrorism. 

What this tells us is we have to change course. Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton is going down the same road of Barack Obama’s failed policies. It was her failed policies that got four Americans killed in Benghazi. Innocent Americans just got killed this weekend. 

This is a serious matter. It’s time to wake up.”Bachmann called for a screening and vetting process at the borders of the United States to prevent the admission of Muslims committed to an extremist ideology.

“When we get a real view [of radical Islamic ideology], then we’ll understand that at the border, we’ll do vetting of people and find out what their ideology is,” she said. “And if they share these views, they shouldn’t be allowed into the United States because they intend upon violent acts upon people and institutions here.

“In any sane country, you protect yourself and your institutions. We no longer act with sane, common sense thoughts anymore.”

In a time of madness, Bachmann identified Haney as a model for what a federal employee should be, calling him a “patriot” and a “constitutionalist.” She also revealed she had worked with Haney when she was in Congress and had a seat on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

“A lot of time in front of these committees, we get a very whitewashed, sanitized version of what is going on because the agencies want to look good when they come before Congress,” she recalled. 

“They don’t want problems to be exposed; they want to look good. Our job is to find out what the truth is, what’s going on. In the area of intelligence, we deal with America’s classified secrets, and in particular, our focus was on terrorism. 

This is an extremely important job we have in Congress to keep the American people safe, and so I took this very seriously.”

As a result, Bachmann had her staff seek out experts who could tell her what was really going on when it came to threats to the United States.

“I was casting about, trying to find out more information than what I was getting in front of the Intel committee,” she recalled. “I just felt like I was not getting the full and complete picture. And I asked my assistant to find good, credible people. 

She brought in Philip Haney to me. The reason I found him credible is because he was working on the inside. He knew what he was talking about. I knew enough about his area of jurisdiction that I knew he knew what he was talking about.

“But more than that, he had facts, knowledge and information that he had put together. And it was clear to me that this was a guy whose motivation and purpose wasn’t personal. He wasn’t trying to self-promote; he was a genuine public servant.”

According to Bachmann, she and Haney worked together “as a good team.” She paid tribute to the analyst’s ability to find connections and patterns, a skill which made him a successful counter-terrorism agent but also a threat to the Obama administration.

“Philip Haney had information,” she said, explaining his situation. “He found patterns. He did exactly what he was told to do so – ‘If you see something, say something.’ 

He did that, and when he did that, he was punished for doing his job. I saw what he was doing. I saw his information, and I took it to committee chairs, to committee sub-chairs. I tried to get his information published as far and wide as I possibly could because America needed a course correction. 

We needed to change our policy.”

Bachmann accused the federal government of deliberately concealing the motivations for Islamic terrorism.

“The bottom line is the administration made a decision that Islamic ideology has nothing to do with terrorism,” she alleged. 

“Well, if you listen to the terrorists themselves, it’s just the opposite. Almost 100 percent of the terrorists point to Islamic ideology as the reason they do what they do. But the United States government wasn’t even allowed to look in that direction.

“The official view that Hillary Clinton follows, that Barack Obama follows, is what was forced upon Philip Haney. And he was a person that wanted to follow the truth, not a delusional view, a false view of Islam.”

Bachmann said the example of Haney should serve as a rallying point for reforms to protect politically incorrect whistleblowers within the American government.

“There are good people who know what’s going on,” she commented. 

“They said something. And when they said something, they were punished for it. 

That’s wrong; that’s gotta stop. We’ve got to change the rules so that if they see Islamic terror, they can actually point to the cause and not be punished for it.

My comments: There is no doubt that Islam is a Terrorist Religion. The Koran makes this very clear. It Demands that Muslim KILL anyone who is not a Muslim. To say otherwise is Willful Ignorance of the part of Obama, Hillary, the Democrats and the like.
