HOLY LAND FOUNDATION TERRORISM TRIAL continued from your page one.

This is a critical trial and the Holy Spirit gave many words during the intercessory time towards cutting off the head of the snake that is using terrorist organizations to operate charity fronts in the United States to fund their murder and mayhem against Israel.

Most Christians are not up to speed on how the terror infrastructure operates. It isn’t a subject we generally look into very deeply. While many are politically active on behalf of Israel, not many are even aware that a trial this critical to Israel’s security is even going on. It is time that situation changed.

1) The efforts of the U.S. federal prosecutors to get a resounding conviction in the case of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development must have the prayer power of the Israel-loving church crying out for justice to be served, and for the breach in U.S. security via the legal system to be fully repaired by the precedent this trial will set in the war on terror.

You may think I am overstating the critical nature of the HLF trial (which is a couple of weeks into the prosecution’s case) because you have not heard about it or seen it discussed in the major media.

That is part of the problem—the media has treated these cases as if they were merely local news stories and not an integral part of international Islamic terrorism. Two major federal trials against terrorist infrastructure in the United States in the very recent past have failed to yield convictions that would allow our security to legally stop the flow of fund raising for terror organizations in the United States.

If the government prosecutors cannot get a conviction in the current case against the Holy Land Foundation, the United States will officially be an open marketplace for every type of terrorist funding organization in existence. Our security forces must be able to prosecute and convict the terror infrastructure they identify. If our legal system will not uphold their investigative work, then the investigative work will surely dwindle away and not be robustly pursued. This is a war that must be fought on every front!

For whatever reasons, the mainstream media is not educating the public about how terrorism infrastructures work. Few are the voices who understand stand and wage a relentless, self-sacrificing (and dangerous!) campaign to educate and inform. Among them are names you may have seen as terrorism expert-guests from time to time on some broadcast news sources, such as Dr. Walid Phares or Steve Emerson.

2) There is probably no one who understands more how terrorism works in the United States than Steve Emerson who, along with his team at the Investigative Project, http://www.investigativeproject.com/ is providing daily recaps of the Holy Land Foundation trial going on in Dallas. The details that are being revealed are exposing exactly how terror infrastructure works….but you won’t read about or hear these details in any major media that I am aware of. They are going for superficial coverage of the trial.

As far as my research has shown, it is only the Investigative Project reports that are appearing on Walid Phares’ website www.counterterrorismblog.org where one can find out what is really being exposed in the Dallas Federal Courthouse about terrorist operations.

Outside the courthouse the local Muslim community has been activated in protest to attempt to make the media coverage about Islamophobia” and their other accusations of American anti-Arab prejudice. This morning I am reading a report that Dallas police have been put on high alert watching for possible local terror attacks because of tips that have begun to come in from citizens observing suspicious they are relating to the terrorist trial.

During jury selection several citizens expressed fears of serving on a trial that related to terrorists, and the un-indicted co-conspirators, the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) have waged intense intimidation campaigns in the past against the local Dallas newspaper and reporter who was investigating the Holy Land Foundation prior to September 11, 2001.

Intimidation, manipulation and deception are all major players in the defense of these defendants. These are things that must be spiritually addressed by believers who want to see justice served.

Two days ago the judge had to clear the courtroom because of the verbal outburst of opposition by HLF supporters observing the trial when the second of two Israeli security agents were allowed to testify using pseudonyms to protect their identities.

It is time for those who love Israel to put intercessory focus on this trial and cut off the head of the snake in the grass of U.S. soil that feeds Hamas and other terror organizations who operate against Israel.

3) Please, take time to visit the counterterrorismblog.org and read the reports being filed by Steve Emerson and the Investigative Project on the Holy Land Foundation trial. (See the article list below.) These reports will be very informative for you on how to best pray for the prosecutors, the judge, witnesses, the jury in this trial. Pray also for confusion and missteps by those who are attempting to manipulate our freedom loving system and use it to conquer us.

4) I am including a story from the website posted this morning about the brief filed yesterday in the U.S. District Court in Dallas by CAIR, an un-indicted co-conspirator named in the HLF case. They specifically are asking for the counterterrorismblog.org and the reports of the Investigative Project to be silenced by the courts. If this happens there will be no source up to speed enough to report the facts of the case to the public.

CAIR counts on the disinterest of the national news media who will do wall-to-wall coverage of the evidence in the O.J. Simpson trial or the Anna Nicole trials, yet are not finding it within their priorities to even barely mention this critical trial in the war on terror.

It is up to concerned Christians to quickly rise to the occasion and raise their voices to Heaven in this matter.

CAIR Cites Counterterrorism Blog in HLF Legal Filing

By Jeffrey Imm August 17, 2007 www.counterterrorismblog.org

In the case of United States versus Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), et al, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) clearly doesn't like it when the Counterterrorism Blog and the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) is presenting the news on this subject.

In an Amicus Curiae brief by CAIR to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, CAIR complains about the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) postings on the Counterterrorism Blog with news in regards to the HLF case and CAIR.

In CAIR's Amicus Curiae brief, CAIR apparently believes that it can protect its first amendment rights by silencing the Counterterrorism Blog and other organizations reporting the news. Unfortunately, it does not understand that the first amendment to the U.S. Constitution applies to all Americans, even those that CAIR does not agree with or does not like.

In CAIR's Amicus Curiae brief, on page 36, CAIR states that "the list of unindicted coconspirators has spread and gained notoriety through non-mainstream media, as well, including various 'anti-terrorism' weblogs. These weblogs are often extremely biased and inaccurate in their reporting, leading to even more severe damage to the reputation of the unindicted coconspirators. "

In CAIR's Amicus Curiae brief on pages 36 and 37, CAIR gives the Counterterrorism Blog as an example of "extremely biased and inaccurate" "anti-terrorism weblogs":

"See.... HLF Trial Update, Counterterrorismblog.org (June 29, 2007) (writing that “prosecutors have recently named [CAIR] and [ISNA] as Muslim Brotherhood front groups in addition to unindicted co-conspirators” and attaching the unindicted co-conspirator list to the article)"

The specific CTB blog posting by the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) that CAIR objects to is: HLF Trial Update: Muslim Brotherhood on the Witness Stand. See for yourself.

The Counterterrorism Blog will continue to report the news, regardless of how much it displeases CAIR.
