    U.S. District Judge Watson lies by omission in halting Trump’s new Executive Order

    SEE: Federal judge in Hawaii freezes President Trump’s new entry ban

    ”In a blistering 43-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Derrick K. Watson pointed to Trump’s own comments and those of his close advisers as evidence that his order was meant to discriminate against Muslims and declared there was a “strong likelihood of success” that those suing would prove the directive violated the Constitution.

    Watson declared that “a reasonable, objective observer — enlightened by the specific historical context, contemporaneous public statements, and specific sequence of events leading to its issuance — would conclude that the Executive Order was issued with a purpose to disfavor a particular religion.”


    What this judge intentionally has ignored in his written opinion are the countless clarifications made by President Trump during and after his campaign which were made to distinguish Muslims from ‘radical Islamic terrorists” which Donald Trump promised to keep out of the country if elected.

    This judge has not only flaunted the rule of law, but is obviously not a “reasonable, objective observer” in that he has displayed a bias or perhaps outright hatred toward President Trump. If judge Derrick K. Watson were a “reasonable, objective observer”, and even-handed, he would have taken into account all of the “contemporaneous public statements” made by Donald Trump prior to and after his election regarding Muslims, including those which intentionally clarified and distinguished “radical Islamic terrorists” from the “particular religion” in question which Judge Watson speculatively and falsely asserts the President’s EO is directed against.

    For example, HERE IS A VIDEO during Trumps campaign and as far back as 11-2-16, in which Donald Trump expresses his intention is to keep “radical Islamic terrorists” out of the country. Subsequent to this date, President Trump has repeatedly stated his intention is directed at radical Islamic terrorists, and not Muslims, simply because they are Muslim.

    And so, it is more than just obvious that Judge Derrick K. Watson has lied by omission in halting President Trump’s new Executive Order, which was intentionally altered in a good faith move to protect against radical Islamic terrorists entering our country while, at the same time, accommodating peaceful Muslims seeking to enter our country.

    These "Judges" are scum. Trump's got this, that's why he called one of them a "so-called Judge". When you find a rotten apple and it's rotten to the core, what do you do with it? You throw it away and get another one. There's a whole bunch of these rotten Judges who do not have our country and citizens interest at heart, which is the core and soul of the Constitution they're supposed to be "interpreting".

    So my advice for what it's worth is reduce the numbers, fire 20% of USCIS, slow down the process, and stop taking money and applications until vetting process is perfected. There's an ole saying "if you can't get it done one way, get it done a different way." You don't need an EO to do what I've just described. There's no reason to publicize it, no reason to discuss it, just do it. Stay as far away from the courts as possible on anything related to immigration.

    If you appeal the rulings, you play right into their hands and I seriously doubt the US Supreme Court, even with Gorsuch, will see this the way we need and want. Just do the job, quickly and quietly, without fuss or muss, without fanfare or publicity, you know the way Americans have always gotten things done.

    .

    The Judge's very own written opinion documents Trump's intention which appears in the title of the original EO which the judge quotes ___ the title reading: “Protecting The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States”


    The irrefutable fact is, the title of the original Executive Order clarifies Trump's intentions, just as President Trump clarified his intentions as far back as 11-2-16, and which distinguishes Muslims from ‘radical Islamic terrorists” which Donald Trump promised to keep out of the country if elected.



    Judge Watson has proven his bias against Trump by not taking into account all of the “contemporaneous public statements” made by Donald Trump to establish his intentions, including the Title of the original E.O. which the President signed and appears in the Judges very own written opinion. It is quite apparent the Judge has dismissed and/or intentionally ignored Trump's repeated clarifications which conflict with the judges speculation the EO is intentionally directed against Muslims, rather than it being directed against radical Islamic terrorists and intended to keep them out of our country.



    It is absolutely stunning that a judge would actually speculate about our President's intentions when the safety of the American People hangs in the balance.

    Is Judge Derrick Watson part of a Fifth Column movement in our country?

    The Honolulu Star Advertiser REPORTS:

    ”U.S. District Judge Derrick Kahala Watson, who halted President Donald Trump’s revised travel ban Wednesday, is a 1984 graduate of Kamehameha Schools who was in President Barack Obama’s class at Harvard Law School.

    Watson, 50, was appointed by Obama in November 2012 and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in April 2013. Watson said in a June 2013 interview with the Honolulu Star-Advertiser that he never met Obama at Harvard and knew him only as head of the school’s law review.”




    Unfortunately, we seem to have a Fifth Column movement in our country which extends well within our judicial system, and is doing its best to obstruct our President from taking measures to prevent radical Islamic terrorists and their followers from entering our country. Considering Judge Watson's irrational ruling, he may very well be part of this Fifth Column movement.

    There was a time not too long ago in New York when able-bodied people were ashamed to accept home relief, a program created by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1931 when he was Governor. Now these ticks and fleas not only demand welfare, but use it to buy beer, wine, drugs and Lotto tickets.

    Plaintiff Behind Trump Travel Ban Runs Muslim Brotherhood Mosque
    March 18, 2017 (WND.com) The main plaintiff in the Hawaii case blocking President Trump’s revised temporary travel ban is an imam with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
    Imam Ismail Elshikh/WND.com

    The irony is hard to miss: Trump has talked about declaring the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, and now it is a Brotherhood-backed imam who is playing a key role in blocking his executive order on immigration.
    Imam Ismail Elshikh, 39, leads the largest mosque in Hawaii and claims he is suffering “irreparable harm” from the president’s executive order, which places a 90-day ban on travel to the U.S. from six countries.
    One of those six countries is Syria. Elshikh’s mother in law is Syrian and would not be able to visit her family in Hawaii for 90 days if Trump’s ban were allowed to go into effect.
    Hawaii’s Obama-appointed federal judge, Derrick Watson, made sure the ban did not go into effect, striking it down Wednesday while buying Hawaii’s claim that it amounts to a “Muslim ban.” The state’s attorney general, along with co-plaintiff Elshikh, claims the ban would irreparably harm the state’s tourism industry and its Muslim families.
    According to the lawsuit:
    “Plaintiffs allege that the Executive Order subjects portions of the State’s population, including Dr. Elshikh and his family, to discrimination in violation of both the Constitution and the INA, denying them their right, among other things, to associate with family members overseas on the basis of their religion and national origin. The State purports that the Executive Order has injured its institutions, economy, and sovereign interest in maintaining the separation between church and state.”
    The vast majority of Hawaii’s roughly 5,000 Muslims attend Elshikh’s mosque, the Muslim Association of Hawaii, which is located in a residential area of Manoa, Honolulu. The mosque, despite its ties to what many believe is an extremist and subversive organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, may now hold the key to whether the Trump travel ban passes muster in the federal court system.
    Elshikh was born and raised in Cairo, Egypt, the home base of the Muslim Brotherhood, whose stated goal is to spread Shariah law throughout the world.
    Elshikh is living in the U.S. on a green card, which gives him permanent legal status.
    The proof that his mosque is affiliated with the Brotherhood is found in the court records for Honolulu County, which lists the deed holder as the North American Islamic Trust.
    John Guandolo, a former FBI counter-terrorism specialist and now private consultant to law enforcement at Understanding the Threat, said all mosques under the “Muslim Association of” moniker are typically affiliated with the Brotherhood.
    But the clincher in this case is that the mosque property is traced to NAIT, “confirming it is a Muslim Brotherhood organization,” Guandolo told WND in an email.
    The Trump administration has said it is considering banning the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S. by including it on the State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations.
    NAIT is one of more than 200 unindicted co-conspirators named in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism-financing trial of 2007-08 in Dallas, Texas. The organization has direct ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, as documented by the FBI in evidence presented at the trial. (See Sec. VII, Page 8 of court document.)
    NAIT is a financial subsidiary of the Islamic Society of North America and holds the deed to more than 325 mosques in 42 U.S. states that are controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood, according to Discover the Networks.
    “Because NAIT controls the purse strings of these many properties, it can exercise ultimate authority over what they teach and what activities they conduct. Specifically, the Trust seeks to ensure that the institutions under its financial influence promote the principles of Sharia law and Wahhabism,” according to Discover the Networks.
    The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in 1928 in Cairo, Egypt, by Hassan al-Banna. It has been banned by Egypt’s current regime, as well as in Saudi Arabia, Russia and the United Arab Emirates.
    A bill in Congress, the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2015-16, has been languishing in committee since November 2015. House Speaker Paul Ryan has not advanced the bill or done anything to promote it.
    Several members of the Trump administration have said they favor declaring the Brotherhood a terrorism organization, but so far that has not happened. One high-level Trump adviser, Mike Flynn, said he was in favor of banning the Brotherhood before he was forced to resign for misleading Vice President Mike Pence and other top White House officials about his conversations with the Russian ambassador to the United States.
    Trump’s secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, described the Brotherhood as “an agent of radical Islam” during his Senate confirmation hearing.
    Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton told Breitbart News last month that the U.S. should declare the Brotherhood a terrorist organization.
    “The fact is, the Brotherhood is a front for terrorism,” he said. “A number of Arab majority-Muslim countries, like Egypt and Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, have already designated it as a terrorist organization. I’ve had Muslim leaders from the Middle East say to me, ‘Are you people blind to what’s going on right in front of you and the role that the Brotherhood performs, really on an international basis?’”
    But instead of banning the Brotherhood, the U.S. is letting a Brotherhood-backed imam dictate U.S. refugee and visa policy, Guandolo said.
    Judge Watson, who was a Harvard law classmate of Barack Obama’s, issued an injunction halting Trump’s executive order from going into effect, agreeing with Hawaii’s claim that the temporary ban, 90 days on visa travelers and 120 days for refugees, would irreparably harm the state’s tourism industry and its Muslim families.
    As for refugees, Hawaii takes very few. Of the 49 states participating in the federal refugee resettlement program, only Mississippi has taken in fewer refugees than Hawaii since 2002. Only 127 refugees have been sent to Hawaii since 2002, and nearly zero have been Muslims from the six nations on Trump’s list. The vast majority sent to Hawaii have been from Burma and Vietnam.
    The six nations on Trump’s list for a 90-day moratorium on visas and a 120-day pause on refugee resettlement are Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Sudan and Somalia.
    Of the 127 refugees Hawaii has taken since the State Department started keeping online records in 2002, only one refugee has been from a country on Trump’s list, Iran, according to the State Department’s Refugee Processing Center database.
    “There was one refugee from Iran who went to Hawaii and that probably was a Christian. That is the majority of what we are taking from Iran are Christians,” said Ann Corcoran, editor of Refugee Resettlement Watch, which has been tracking resettlements in the U.S. for the past 10 years. “The biggest group were from Burma and Vietnam, and there were none from Africa, so what we have in Hawaii are a bunch of hypocrites whining about ‘irreparable harm’ from pausing refugee resettlement when, in fact, they take hardly any refugees and almost no Muslim refugees.”
