We previously pointed out the Immigration Scam angle on December 9th….

( Via Fox News ) The ever-widening investigation of the San Bernardino terrorist massacre has revealed at least two dubious marriages that experts say expose huge loopholes in the immigration system and continue to put national security at risk.

Federal authorities have charged Enrique Marquez with marriage fraud for his allegedly sham union with Mariya Chernykh, a Russian woman whose sister married the brother of terrorist Syed Rizwan Farook after first gaining residence through an earlier marriage. And of course, Farook’s own wife, Tashfeen Malik, who was killed along with him in a shootout with police following their Dec. 2 attack, married her way into the U.S. under suspicious circumstances.

The full speech (both video and transcript) by President Obama yesterday at the National Counter Terrorism Center, McLean Virginia.  Presented below for two reasons.

• #1 To share the substantive information provided by the President of our United States.
• #2 Because, in my humble opinion, having spent considerable time following nuance and inter-governmental messaging, this speech -and included insurances- as outlined within the President’s delivery, are 180° divergent from the FBI federal complaint released yesterday in the San Bernardino terrorist investigation.

Here is President Obama’s NCTC speech:

And here’s the transcript: (more…)

You just have to read the criminal complaint to understand how supremely jaw-dropping the entire construct against Enrique Marquez actually is.  Two things to note:

• #1.)  Pay attention to the actual 911 call by Marquez on page 26, 27 – GOOD GRIEF !
• #2.) Someone please explain to me why his “Green-Card Wife”, Mariya Chernykh, aka Mariya Gigliotti, is not also indicted.  Please explain this.

The sense of it is the FBI-DOJ people who wrote this complaint are trying to send a signal to the rest of America – around a Presidential office hell bent on avoiding reality and downplaying the content. You’ve just got to read it.

During one of the FBI debriefings, in the aftermath of the San Bernardino attack, it was noted that reports had come in to local law enforcement about specific mid-Eastern males casing movie theaters.  The mention quickly went down the rabbit hole.  However,….

(Via Deadline ) With a rush of holiday moviegoers and following some suspicious activity outside theaters in at least two U.S. cities — one last week in Southern California and another in Arizona last night — exhibitors across the nation have “doubled” workforce security in preparation for the 4,134-theater release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

It is understood that armed guards will be on duty in some cases and that heightened security at the nation’s theaters will be in place throughout the holidays.

The National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO) sent a notice out to its members about both suspicious incidents, Deadline was told, including the latest incident in Tempe, AZ.

When contacted by Deadline, a NATO spokesman said, “As a general rule we don’t comment on security issues.” (more…)

It doesn’t come as a shock that Enrique Marquez would have charges filed against him.  As the straw-purchaser for the weapons used he became a co-conspirator.  However, the specific charges have not been released.

  UPDATE 5:00pm – CHARGES: 1) Conspiring to provide material support to terrorists. 2) Making a false statement in connection with acquisition of firearms. 3) Fraud and misuse of Visas, Permits and other Documents

( Via Fox News )  The friend of the terrorist couple behind the Dec. 2 attack that left 14 dead in San Bernardino has been arrested in connection with the case, Fox News has confirmed.

Marquez began speaking with federal authorities after they raided his mother’s home over the weekend. Right after the shootings, Marquez called his mother to say he was safe, but that he wouldn’t be coming home, neighbor Lorena Aguirre told The Associated Press. He later checked into a mental health facility. It’s unclear where he is now. (more…)

Hat Tip Ziiggii who points to a Judicial Watch outline of suspicious activity near the U.S. Mexico Border.

(Via Judicial Watch) A Middle Eastern woman was caught surveilling a U.S. port of entry on the Mexican border holding a sketchbook with Arabic writing and drawings of the facility and its security system, federal law enforcement sources tell Judicial Watch.

The woman has been identified as 23-year-old Leila Abdelrazaq, according to a Customs and Border Patrol (CPB) report obtained by JW this week. Abdelrazaq appeared to have two accomplices, a 31-year-old man named Gabriel Schivone and a 28-year-old woman named Leslie Mcafee. (more…)

President Obama and DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson at the heart of the issue.

( WASHINGTON DC )  A secret U.S. policy that prohibits immigration officials from reviewing the social media messages of foreign citizens applying for U.S. visas was reportedly kept in place over fears of a civil liberties backlash and “bad public relations.”

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson refused in early 2014 to end the policy, even though several other officials in the organization pressed for such a policy change, ABC News reported Monday. (more…)

This is one of those dynamic arguments you’ll never see the leftist U.S. media bring up because the essence of their underlying ideology is only to promote those things that tear down America.

DUBAI (Reuters) – Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal has called Donald Trump a disgrace to the United States following his call for a ban on Muslims entering the country, and demanded the Republican front-runner withdraw from the U.S. presidential race.

Trump triggered an international uproar when he made his comments in response to last week’s deadly shootings in California by two Muslims who authorities said were radicalized.

“You are a disgrace not only to the GOP but to all America,” Prince Alwaleed, the chairman of Kingdom Holding, said on his Twitter account, addressing Trump and referring to the Republican Party.

“Withdraw from the U.S presidential race as you will never win,” the prince added.  (link)

After numerous articles all around Missouri citing strange bulk throw-away phone purchases, and then a report of stolen propane tanks, a trail-cam catches a picture of a strangely behaving man in the woods and social media erupts.

MADISON COUNTY, MO (KFVS) – A picture from a trail camera in Madison County, Mo. is spreading like wildfire in the Heartland.

The picture shows a man walking in the woods near rural Fredericktown.

There wouldn’t be anything too unusual about it, but it has some people concerned. In light of recent cell phone purchases in the area that are being investigated by the FBI as suspicious, they are jumping to conclusions.

Many people are talking about it because they don’t know who the man is. (more…)

An article in the New York Times highlights how flawed the vetting process was for Tashfeen Malik, the female terrorist in the San Bernardino attack.

WASHINGTON — Tashfeen Malik, who with her husband carried out the massacre in San Bernardino, Calif., passed three background checks by American immigration officials as she moved to the United States from Pakistan. But none uncovered what Ms. Malik had made little effort to hide — that she talked openly on social media about her views on violent jihad.

She said she supported it. And she said she wanted to be a part of it.

American law enforcement officials said they recently discovered those old — and previously unreported — postings as they pieced together the lives of Ms. Malik and her husband, Syed Rizwan Farook, trying to understand how they pulled off the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil since Sept. 11, 2001.
