Department of Homeland Security whistleblower Philip Haney, who spoke out against his own agency and claimed the Obama administration could have stopped many terrorist attacks, has been found dead with a gunshot wound in California.
No arrests have been made by authorities and a motive has not been made clear, however multiple friends of Haney’s claim he was murdered.
The Amador County Sheriff’s Office said they responded to reports of a man lying on the ground with a gunshot injury near Highway 124 and Highway 16 in Plymouth, California.
Red State and Heavy report that Haney, 66, had been missing since Wednesday, and that the gunshot wound was found in his chest.
‘Upon their arrival, they located and identified 66-year-old Philip Haney, who was deceased and appeared to have suffered a single, self-inflicted gunshot wound,‘ said authorities, according to the Washington Examiner.
‘A firearm was located next to Haney and his vehicle. This investigation is active and ongoing. No further details will be released at this time.’
Haney was the author of a book titled “See Something, Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government’s Submission to Jihad” and was a founding member of DHS.
In a 2016 interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, he explained that on two occasions, his carefully prepared files on Islamic extremists in the US had been “purged.” He said that, if the Obama Administration had maintained this database, several Islamic terror attacks, including the December 2015 Orlando, FL nightclub massacre and the June 2016 San Bernardino, CA mass shooting could have been prevented.
Hannity said, “You did your job and other people did their jobs and in comes the Obama administration and they wipe out all the work that could have potentially saved the lives of Americans. Is that a fair statement?”
Haney agreed that the Obama administration’s actions allowed Islamic terror to thrive in the United States. He said: “Yes, it’s a fair statement.”
Sara Cater, a respected investigative journalist and Fox News contributor who was also a personal friend of Haney, is the most prominent of his friends to go on the record claiming he was murdered.
‘Somebody I deeply respected and considered a friend Phil Haney – a DHS whistleblower during the Obama Admin was apparently killed yesterday in Southern California. Pray for his family and pray they find the person who murdered him,’ she wrote on Twitter.
Although Haney had retired, he remained active professionally. Friends told Law Enforcement Today that Haney was planning to go back on the road in advance of the election. He’d said he would be doubling down on efforts to “protect Americans from progressives, leftists and socialists.”
Friends also doubt that he had taken his own life. He’d never seemed happier they told LET and was engaged to be married later this year.
DailyMail report: In regards to a thwarted terror attack on a Christmas Day flight to Detroit, Michigan, Haney recalled how Obama cast blame on DHS for not identifying the threat
‘President Obama threw the intelligence community under the bus for its failure to ‘connect the dots.’ He said, ‘this was not a failure to collect intelligence, it was a failure to integrate and understand the intelligence that we already had.’
He also called out the administration for prioritizing ‘political correctness‘ over safety.
‘I can no longer be silent about the dangerous state of America’s counter-terror strategy, our leaders’ willingness to compromise the security of citizens for the ideological rigidity of political correctness—and, consequently, our vulnerability to devastating, mass-casualty attack.‘
Haney said the devastating 2016 Orlando Pulse Nightclub shooting and 2015 San Bernardino terror attack could have been prevented if DHS took the right precautions.
In a 2015 interview with Fox News, Haney said his and other DHS employees efforts were stalled after they were accused of unfairly targeting Muslims.
If not halted, he said, they could have prevented the San Bernardino attack orchestrated by Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik that killed 14 people.
The couple could have ‘very plausibly‘ been flagged to the security services over their connections to Deobandi Movement, and its sub-groups al-Huda and Tablighi Jamaat, Haney said.
‘Either Syed would have been put on the no-fly list because of his association with that mosque, and or the K-1 visa that his wife was given may have been denied because of his affiliation with a known organization,‘ he said.
During that same year, Haney released his first book, “See Something Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government’s Submission to Jihad” about his experiences in DHS.
He told the Washington Examiner through text that he planned on writing a sequel.
‘The National Security Meltdown sequel will pick up right where SSSN left off,’ he wrote.
‘My intention is to have it ready by early-to mid-Spring of 2020 (just before the political sound wave hits), then ride that wave all the way to the Nov. elections.‘
Haney became a founding member of the Department of Homeland Security in 2002 as a Customs & Border Protection agricultural officer.
He would go on to serve as an armed CBP officer before being promoted to its Advanced Targeting Team.
Haney specialized in Islamic theology and the strategies used by the global Islamic movement.
Clint Eastwood, a lifelong conservative who signaled his support for Trump before the 2016 election, now seems to be throwing his weight behind Michael Bloomberg.
Speaking politics with a Wall Street Journal reporter, Eastwood, 87, said “The best thing we could do is just get Mike Bloomberg in there.“
Asked about his views on President Donald Trump and the current political scene in the new interview, the Dirty Harryactor and self-professed libertarian complained about modern day politics, saying “The politics has gotten so ornery.”
While he said he agrees with “certain things that Trump’s done,” he added that he wished the president acted “in a more genteel way, without tweeting and calling people names. I would personally like for him to not bring himself to that level.”
He then told the reporter, “The best thing we could do is just get Mike Bloomberg in there.“
Eastwood, who has historically leaned conservative on the political spectrum, famously criticized former President Barack Obama and once served as the Republican mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea between 1986 and 1988.
During a speech in August 2016, he appeared to express his plans to vote for Trump, saying, “I’d have to go for Trump… you know, ’cause [Hillary’s] declared that she’s gonna follow in Obama’s footsteps.”
Far-left rocker Neil Young, who was granted U.S. citizen last month, has attacked President Donald Trump as “a disgrace to my country” and promised that “we are going to vote you out and Make America Great Again” in November.
The Canadian-born singer-songwriter and eco-activist also repeated his complaint that his song “Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World” has been been used at Trump campaign rallies across the country.
Young poured his frustrations into an angry screed titled “Open Letter to Donald Trump” that he published on his official website Tuesday. The unhinged letter accuses President Trump of destroying the environment, lying to the American people, and being inferior to “our first black president.”
You are a disgrace to my country. Bragging about the US economy does not disguise the fact that the numbers today are what you inherited almost 4 years ago.
Your mindless destruction of our shared natural resources, our environment and our relationships with friends around the world is unforgivable.
Your policies, decisions and short term thinking continue to exacerbate the Climate Crisis.
Our first black president was a better man than you are.
Per Breitbart: Later in the letter, Neil Young said he doesn’t necessarily harbor disdain for Trump supporters:
I don’t blame the people who voted for you. I support their right to express themselves, although they have been lied to, and in many cases believed the lies, they are true Americans. I have their back.
US justice is ours-not yours.
Young also expressed revulsion at the thought of his music being played at Trump rallies.
Every time “Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World” or one of my songs is played at your rallies, I hope you hear my voice. Remember it is the voice of a tax-paying US citizen who does not support you. Me.
Young reiterated his endorsement of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) for president. “He is not popular with the democratic establishment because unlike all the other candidates, he is not pandering to the industries accelerating Earth’s Climate Disaster,” he wrote. “He is truly fighting for the USA.”
The famed musician concluded his letter to President Trump with a promise worded like a threat:
We are going to vote you out and Make America Great Again.
Last year, the musician claimed in an interview that past presidents, including Donald Trump, are “losers” for doing nothing about climate change, and that U.S. presidents should have addressed the issue 50 years ago.
Billionaire globalist George Soros has once again demanded the removal of the Facebook leadership, accusing them of collusion with US President Donald Trump.
Soros accused Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, of “obfuscating the facts” after he argued for greater regulation of the internet last Saturday.
In a letter to Financial Times, Soros said: “It goes without saying that I support government regulation of social media platforms”
He added that Zuckerberg doesn’t need it to stop accepting all political advertising until after the November 2020 US election.
RT reports: Facebook is unlikely to do so, the Paris-based oligarch wrote, accusing Zuckerberg of being “engaged in some kind of mutual assistance arrangement with Donald Trump that will help him to get re-elected” and repeating his demand for him and his COO Sheryl Sandberg to be “removed from control of Facebook.”
Soros’s angry missive was a response to Zuckerberg’s op-ed published the day before, in which the hapless head of the Menlo Park behemoth pleaded for some kind of government regulation that would establish clear lines on matters that “touch on fundamental democratic values” such as “elections” and “harmful content,” among others.
“I believe clearer rules would be better for everyone,” Zuckerberg wrote, apparently irritated by the stream of ever-shifting objections from parties and individuals who blame Facebook for losing elections and referenda they believed were rightfully theirs to win – the 2016 US presidential contest and Brexit, to name but two.
One of the most outspoken critics of Facebook has been Soros, the grey eminence of global ‘liberal’ causes, who first accused Zuckerberg of collusion with Trump at the World Economic Forum in Davos last month. He followed that with a blistering New York Times op-ed at the end of January, demanding the exit of Zuckerberg and Sandberg “one way or another.”
Facebook’s rejection of Soros’s assertions as “just plain wrong” and unsubstantiated by evidence has obviously not deterred the ‘Open Society’ magnate from stating them again, and again, as evidenced by the op-eds and letters that keep coming.
Once celebrated by Democrats in the US – whom Soros is lavishly funding – for helping Barack Obama get elected, Facebook ended up in the doghouse after the 2016 election. Soros famously denounced it and other social media as a “menace” to society whose “days are numbered,” in a January 2018 speech in Davos.
Facebook responded by paying a PR firm to investigate Soros, something Sandberg admitted to in November 2018 – which may explain his ongoing vendetta against her.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has declared that America cannot withstand the “destruction” President Trump would bring if he is reelected this November.
Speaking to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, Pelosi said:
“I can’t even envision a situation where he would be reelected.”
“But we are not—we don’t take anything for granted,” Pelosi added.
“As I say, we have to have our own vision for the future.”
“But everybody knows that we must be unified and making sure that he does not have a second term,” Pelosi added.
“Our country is great. The American people are wonderful.”
“We’re a resilient country. We can withstand one term.”
“But the destruction that he would do to the courts of our country, and the environment where he says I’m not going to use science as any basis for decisions on the environment,” she added.
“When he says, Article 2 says I can do whatever I want. He must be defeated.”
