This Is How They Do It
This Is How They Do It
I’ve been trying to catch up, going through my news feeds. When I get to writing over in my “day” blog (it pays the bills), well, those words I use over there describe a far different world - a world of recreation and play and zestful, vigorous American living. And it gets hard to come back in here to Sass. I’ve tried a few times in the last few days to finish this particular post but every time I go back into my news feeds to look for different material I feel like I’m drowning.
The cowardice of the media, the endless liberal posturing and histrionics, Bush’s stuttering performance and the steady drumbeat of Islamic dhimmitude - it all starts seeming rather ominous, foreboding, as if there is no turning back the approaching maelstrom.
And there isn’t a hell of a lot that I can think of to do about it. But then I keep coming back to this idea that I have had for a long time. I can start watching my local government. Local school boards. Planning commissions. Zoning commissions. Town council. Civic government is an arena where the enemy makes himself at home.
Here are the recent articles that put this notion back in my head.
First this from LGF:
“An Islamic society that sued for defamation after local news outlets linked it and its stalled mosque project to anti-Semitic extremists offered Friday to stop litigation in exchange for private mediation…. the suit named several individuals and community groups who questioned the society’s ties, a move decried as an attempt to bully people who were asking legitimate questions about the mosque. The suit has also chilled dialogue between the society and leaders of the local Jewish community.”(Link)
This Boston Mosque story demonstrates, in my mind, the areas where we as simple citizens have been so compromised, so pathetically undefended,that I hardly know how we can undo the damage that has been done. Undefended, because we didn’t think to keep an eye on who is running for the school board or the planning commission or the local zoning commission or who the various committees and town councils that govern our towns are composed of.
Hell, I’m thinking that when I read about this town council or the other voting to impeach Bush or making some statement about the war or refusing to participate in national security, well, I foolishly snicker. Who the hell cares about town councils?
Muslims do.
Socialists do.
Activist of every stripe and color do.
Steven Emerson makes the point, via Instapundit
“… Steven Emerson of the Investigative project, who was introduced by David Liebovitz and Paul Singer, co-hosts, penciled in problems of radical Islam’s encroachment here in America. He drew our attention to the failed Sami al Arian trial in Tampa, upcoming ones dealing with Hamas organizations in Chicago and New York. He cited the intimidation by Muslim civil rights groups like the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) -both emblematic of the extremist Muslim Brotherhood abuse of US predilections in our “Kumbaya” society to protect the “human rights” of “victims” and manipulate our basic Constitutional freedoms for their own nefarious ends. Emerson also referred to in passing his own involvement as a defendant in the current libel action brought by the Muslim Brotherhood affiliated Islamic Society of Boston against he and several others, including friends in the David project, as well at electronic and print journalists.”
Now, consider this from The Jewish Russian Telegraph:
“Though the I S B didn’t receive initial approval from the city to build its massive mosque until late 1998, various local Muslim groups had been trying to build a mosque on the parcel in question—sandwiched between Roxbury Community College, the Roxbury Crossing T stop and the Reggie Lewis athletic complex—for well over a decade.”
1998. Before 9.11. Before anyone gave a damn about mosques particularly. Back in 1988 I was showing real estate in West Chester, a booming area north of Cincinnati and was disconcerted when looking for an address in a typical suburban development to find a mosque dropped incongruously into the neighborhood. Go ahead and click that link, zoom in - it is the compound that you can see just to the left of the red address icon. Now push the map around and note the immediate neighborhood. Also note that they are far from the urban core, in fact, it has since become one of the wealthiest zip codes in South West Ohio. At the time, islam had not an iota of significance to me but I was damn irritated at whatever zoning fluke allowed for the existence of an edifice that was so obviously detrimental to adjacent property values.
But it was no more a “fluke” in West Chester than it was a fluke in Boston. It is simply the American way. You wish to build an edifice and you have a piece of land that you wish to acquire, a zoning variance made, you do what it takes to reach your goal. And if you are an Islamist, you practice Taqiya. You coerce and curry political favor and play the race card when thwarted.
And you continue the steady media drumbeat of dhimmitude via the willing and compliant local “reporters” who in self-righteous lock step produce cloying pieces on understanding and tolerance (spit).
Town councils, the ‘county seat’, municipalities, advisory boards, school boards, city planning commissions; all of those ,small drab courtroom chambers,public reviews, and poorly ventilated conference rooms are the locales wherein the dismantling of America began long ago. And Islamists who believe in umma and not America have become adept at using our system to take us down.
Now this from the LGF link:
“A top Boston Redevelopment Authority official who previously downplayed his role in the Roxbury mosque project of the Islamic Society of Boston assisted in the city’s reduction of the price the mosque backers paid for the site from $2 million to $175,000, according to BRA documents that have surfaced in lawsuits over the controversial project. The official, Mohammad Ali-Salaam, the BRA’s deputy director for planning, also raised funds for the project when he traveled to Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates as a representative of the city in 2000.”
If American citizens started monitoring their local governments on a regular basis perhaps those Islamists who are so eager to use our system won’t find their way uncontested. Perhaps back room deals made with PC addled small town politicians won’t be so easy to conceal.
In Iraq the Islamofascist blends in with the civilians to inflict the most severe damage. And the Islamofascist in America blends in with the men and women who walk the corridors of power and commerce. They do not plant bombs but they acquire rights and land and concessions that accomplish the same goal as their murdering kin. The destruction of America.
Our men are taking bullets for us in the middle east and we in turn are making their deaths meaningless by our insane paralysis.
So, where will you be when town council meets this week? Who is sitting on your school board?
Anyone interested in brainstorming the feasibility of setting up a site where bloggers can regularly report local activities in their towns and develop a pool of information that might give us a clearer picture perhaps of how thoroughly compromised we have become, please email me at roadsassy*at*gmail*dot*com.

Better yet, get in touch with the folks at Grizzly Groundswell, or the 910 Group. They are a couiple of groups who are trying to implement citizen watch/response groups.
