- In December 2009 Code Pink led an international delegation of anti-Israel leftists to Gaza, where they delivered “tens of thousands of dollars in humanitarian aid” as a gesture of defiance against Israel’s blockade (designed to prevent the importation of weaponry) of the Hamas-controlled region.
- Next, the marchers went to Egypt where they participated in the Hamas-organized “Gaza Freedom March,” again to protest Israeli policy. Before the group departed for Egypt, Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin told the media that Hamas “has pledged to ensure our safety.” Joining Code Pink on the trip were former Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.

Green For All – Founded in 2007, Green For All (GFA) was created by Van Jones to lobby for federal climate, energy, and economic policy initiatives. Joel Rogers, founder of the Apollo Alliance and the Emerald Cities Collaborative, also helped to establish GFA through his primary Wisconsin organization, COWS. Both Jones and Rogers are major players in the push for Cap and Trade legislation, and they have collaborated in an effort to transform America’s environmental policy. Jones also credits Majora Carter, founder of Sustainable South Bronx and a fellow at the MacArthur Foundation, for helping to launch GFA.
More on Van Jones here and here.
- Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins, who succeeded Jones as CEO of Green For All and is also a board member of the Joel Rogers-foundedEmerald Cities Collaborative, was the former head of the South Bay AFL-CIO Labor Council and of Working Partnerships USA (WP-USA), whose board is composed of labor leaders from the AFL-CIO, the SEIU, and UNITE HERE!.
- Attempting to earmark $60 billion in taxpayer funds for “green jobs training,” in 2010 GFA strongly supported the Cap-and-Trade Climate Bill that Barbara Boxer introduced to the U.S. Senate.
- In 2009, GFA expanded its programs and lobbying efforts, achieving an unprecedented level of success for green progressivism. President Barack Obama appointed Van Jones as his Special Advisor for Green Jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
- GFA was also able to expand its Green For All Academy — training, in two consecutive years, 100 Fellows, many of whom had previously worked for such prominent progressive groups as the Illinois League of Conservation Voters, Global Exchange, Democracia USA, Human Rights Watch;,Progressive Majority, the Sierra Club, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, and MoveOn. Other GFA Fellows had formerly worked for luminaries like Hillary Clinton and Dennis Kucinich.

Hamas – is a radical fundamentalist group founded on December 14, 1987 by the Muslim Brotherhood who has close ties to CAIR.
- Hamas has a close working relationship with Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based terror organization that is one of Hamas’ major suppliers of weaponry. Hamas is best known for using violent methods — including suicide bombings against Israeli military and civilian targets — to destroy Israel and replace it with an Islamic Palestinian state.
- Hamas official Nizhar Riyah declared on May 21 that “Hamas is determined to wipe Israel off the map and replace it with the state of Palestine.”
- According to the Charter, those against whom jihad is to be directed are the Jews. “The Nazism of the Jews,” it says, “does not skip women and children, it scares everyone. They make war against people’s livelihood, plunder their moneys and threaten their honor.” Hamas seeks to fulfill the Qur’anic scripture which reads: “The prophet, prayer and peace be upon him, said: The time will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them); until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him!” To view additional quotes from the Hamas Charter, click here.
- In March 2005, FBI Director Robert Mueller stated, “Of all the Palestinian groups, Hamas has the largest presence in the United States with a strong infrastructure … [and] is theoretically capable of facilitating acts of terrorism in the United States.”
- In the summer 2007 Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) trial (which looked into evidence of HLF’s fundraising on behalf of Hamas), the U.S. government released a list of approximately 300 of HLF’s “unindicted co-conspirators” and “joint venturers.”
- During the months after longtime Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak was been ousted from power in early 2011, the Muslim Brotherhood, out of which Hamas grew, became an increasingly powerful force in Egypt. In mid-2011, Hamas moved its headquarters from Damascus to Egypt. According to an Egyptian official quoted by an Arab news agency, al-Qaeda also had brought some 400 terrorists into the area.
- Hamas and Hezbullah are also suspected of actively assisting Mexican Drug Cartels with tunneling into the U.S.

Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HUT) – was founded in Jordanian-controlled East Jerusalem by Sheikh Taqi-ud-deen Al-Nabahani in 1951 as the “The Party of Liberation.” HUT is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, the group seeks to re-establish the caliphate, or “golden age” of Islamic rule, or Sharia Law through political means, as they claim.
- Political party with cells in more than 40 nations
- Outlawed as a terrorist group in Russia, Germany, and many Islamic countries
- Seeks to replace all governments with a single Islamic ruler, or Caliph
- Hizb-ut-Tahrir is a “totalitarian organization, akin to a disciplined Marxist-Leninist party“
- Has also been holding Islamic world dominating revolution rallies inside the U.S. in 2009, attempted in 2010, and recently June 26, 2011…all in Chicago.
- Despite their “banned” status in other countries, U.S. Homeland Security and the Obama Adminstration refuse to consider them a terrorist threat, not surprising as they increase relations with the parent of Hizb-ut-Tahrir, the Muslim Brotherhood.

Muslim Brotherhood – The organization was founded in 1928 by an Egyptian schoolteacher/activist Hasan al-Banna who was also a devout admirer of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime.
- Officially political group in 1939
- A Muslim Brother assassinated Egyptian Prime Minister Mahmud Fahmi Nokrashi on December 28, 1948. The Brotherhood was banned, and al-Banna himself was killed by government agents in Cairo in February 1949.
- Anwar Sadat, promised reforms,
and that he would implement Shariah. However, Sadat’s peace
treaty with Israel in 1979 angered the Brotherhood, which led to
his assassination in 1981.
- In September 2010, Muhammad Badi’ gave a sermon in which he said, “… the improvement and change that the [Muslim] nation seeks can only be attained through jihad and sacrifice and by raising a jihadi generation that pursues death, just as the enemies pursue life.“
- In an effort to possibly hide their militant Islamit rules from the eyes of Western observers, the Brotherhood removed the organizational by-laws from their main English language website in mid-February 2011. The bylaws, which are still available to Arabic readers, have long been a source of discussion and debate because of the group’s stated goal of establishing an Islamic state while uniting Muslims around the world. For example, section E of the bylaws states, “Need to work on establishing the Islamic State, which seeks to effectively implement the provisions of Islam and its teachings.” Likewise, Section G reads as follows: “The sincere support for a global cooperation in accordance with the provisions of the Islamic Sharia … and constructive participation towards building a new basis of human civilization as is ensured by the overall teachings of Islam.“
- On June 1, 2011 Glenn Beck did a great expose on the History of The Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Hezbollah, and other anti-Semitic Middle Eastern organizations.
- President Obama and his infatuation with the Muslim Brother.
- After the Egyptian revolution the Muslim Brother, in an effort to repackage themselves for the rest of the world, launches a new political party called the “Freedom and Justice Party.” Though they have changed their name, they are still just as dangerous to Egypt and the Western World.
