Department of Homeland Security whistleblower Philip Haney, who said an investigation into radical Islam that might have stopped the San Bernardino jihad attack was scuttled by DHS for politically-correct reasons, joined SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon for a special edition of Breitbart News Sunday on the evening after the Orlando shootings.
Haney said he had some “devastating things to share” with the Breitbart News Daily audience about the Orlando case, based on his “expertise on the global Islamic movement, and the individuals and organizations affiliated with that.” He specified that there were some chilling parallels between the Orlando shooter and the San Bernardino jihadis, because both were involved with Islamist networks that were on the National Targeting Center’s radar when he worked there.
“All day, I’ve been digging in and finding the links, connecting the dots, and now I’d like to share with you what I found,” said Haney. “According to its website, the Islamic Center of Ft. Pierce – where Omar Mir Seddique Mateen regularly attended – according to the imam, Shafeeq ur-Rahman, he confirmed that that was the mosque Omar Mir Seddique Mateen attended. The Islamic Center of Ft. Pierce is directly linked to an organization called the Sharia Board of America.”
Haney explained that sharia means “Islamic law,” and said the Sharia Board of America is, in turn, a “direct division of an organization called Rahmat-e-Alam,” whose name means “Mercy to the World.”
Rhamat-e-Alam is directly affiliated with the Darul Uloom Chicago, which Haney described as “a madrassa [Islamic school] that teaches young boys to memorize the Koran.”
“Now we get deeper,” said Haney. “In turn, the Darul Uloom Chicago is directly linked to my 2012 case involving the Institute of Islamic Education, along with two other Islamic centers like the one in Ft. Pierce, which is the case with the 67 deleted records that I’ve been talking about for several months.”
“The entire case is linked to at least two major organizations, and 18 other Islamic centers across the United States that were part of the Tablighi Jamaat case at the National Targeting Center,” he continued. “There’s a complete circuit, all the way from Florida, clear to the Tablighi Jamaat at NTC.”
As Haney explained during his ground-breaking interview with Breitbart News in December 2015, the Tablighi Jamaat is a Salafi Muslim fundamentalist group whose name means “Party of the Promoters.”
Haney described the Tablighi Jamaat in December as a key element of global Islamic radicalism, a group that has been working to bring large numbers of Salafi Muslims into the United States on the visa waiver program. It was Haney’s attention to this group that was declared “politically incorrect” by the Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Division of the Department of Homeland Security.
Haney said on Sunday night that he didn’t need access to any of the voluminous data he compiled on the Tablighi Jamaat during his NTC days to connect the dots after the Orlando shooting — he just went to the websites of the groups involved, as any media or law-enforcement investigator could do.
“This stuff is in broad daylight,” said an astonished Bannon. “How can our officials sit there, and how can President Obama — the Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces — stand in front of a microphone, and not mention anything about this? How can they be sending people on TV all day, and we’re talking about domestic violence, if you just went to open-source websites and connected dots, how can people in the government who are being paid to protect us today, how can they not be doing this? It makes a rational person go crazy. It’s like we’re in some sort of Kafka novel.”
“I say that we’re in Alice in Wonderland, where the Dormouse has a .45,” replied Haney. “It’s very surreal.”
Haney said he was “struck by the statement earlier today that there were two cases opened on Mateen in the past, and in both cases, they didn’t find any evidence to charge him, when it took me three or four solid hours of work, but I found the direct link all the way from the Islamic Center of Ft. Pierce, all the way back to my case that I worked on at the National Targeting Center.”
“There’s no gaps in it,” he declared. “It’s a direct, step-by-step, dot-by-dot affiliation and link — just exactly what we were supposed to do as law enforcement, connect the dots. Well, sitting here, I connected the dots on the whole network.”
“This is remarkably similar to the San Bernardino shootings. There’s a lot of overlap in the two networks. They tie together,” Haney said.
Breitbart News Sunday is broadcast live on SiriusXM Patriot Channel 125 Sunday evening from 7PM to 10PM EST.
