DHS Head: We Must Protect Muslims From Today’s McCarthyism Of “Fear, Suspicions and Prejudice”

In the wake of the San Bernardino attacks, the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS), which also happens to be one the largest mosques in the United States, convinced Johnson to hold a national security and civil rights press conference, where he basically vowed to protect all Muslims, including the ones that are trying to kill Americans.

During a recent event covered by Judicial Watch, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson compared the discrimination Muslims face in today’s climate of “fear, suspicions and prejudice” to McCarthyism, the movement to weed out Communists during the Cold War. “In 1949, during the McCarthy era, my own grandfather was called upon to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee, to deny he was a member of the Communist Party and defend the patriotism of African Americans,” Johnson said. “Today his grandson is responsible for the homeland security of this entire nation.”

Johnson’s Communist connection had not previously been revealed and it certainly wasn’t mentioned during Senate confirmation hearings before he took over the massive agency created after 9/11 to keep the nation safe. This was a bombshell, according to an editorial published in a Los Angeles-based newspaper dedicated to covering business, finance and economics. “Johnson’s family history is most troubling,” the editorial reads. “As Muslim terrorism hits closer and closer to home, our Homeland Security chief views the war on Islamic terrorism as a another Red scare, where Muslim terrorist suspects are Red-baited like his grandfather. No wonder this administration isn’t interested in monitoring radical Muslims for terrorist connections.”

Earlier this year JW obtained Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) files that reveal the dad, maternal grandpa and father-in-law of President Obama’s trusted senior advisor, Valerie Jarrett, were hardcore Communists under investigation by the U.S. government. Jarrett’s dad, pathologist and geneticist Dr. James Bowman, had extensive ties to Communist associations and individuals, his lengthy FBI file shows. In 1950 Bowman was in communication with a paid Soviet agent named Alfred Stern, who fled to Prague after getting charged with espionage.

Bowman was also a member of a Communist-sympathizing group called the Association of Internes and Medical Students. After his discharge from the Army Medical Corps in 1955, Bowman moved to Iran to work, the FBI records show.

It would seem corruption has taken root in America’s political system. Our country is being run by the very same people who are trying to destroy it. But, hey, as long as they create racial, political, and religious divide to keep ignorant Americans occupied, they can get away with anything. The 2016 elections can’t come soon enough.
