As we informed you last, we have completed the
conversion of SANE into the research and public relations
arm of a public interest law firm in association with the
Law Offices of David Yerushalmi, P.C. to handle aggressive
and offensive pro bono litigation targeting on the one hand the
Left-Elite’s effort to undermine if not destroy simply our national
existence on the way to the “transnational”
one world state and on the other hand the Muslim Brotherhood-Jihadi
effort to force the West into a state of dhimmitude such
that Shariah dominates our world view if not our actions. These seemingly
two polar opposites are in fact convergent and converging at the
point of tyranny in the effort to achieve the world state. We
see this development in Obamacare, in the bailout and effective
takeover by government of the financial and automobile sectors,
and we see it in the use of language where public criticism
of this destruction of ‘self’ and of its reflection in a
people with a national identity is now termed sedition;
yet, real sedition by Muslim jihadists is called free speech
in the context of multi-culturalism. This is words or speech
in the employ of tyranny. Below is a press
release in the AIG case just now distributed: ***

FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Federal Court Must Decide: Is the
Treasury Department’s Support of AIG’s Shariah-Promoting
Subsidiaries Constitutional?
How is it possible that
the U.S. Government allows AIG to funnel more than $1 billion to companies
that promote Shariah--the very Islamic legal system that
calls for jihad against apostates and infidels?

June 8,
2010 – Washington, D.C.: – The Law Offices
of David Yerushalmi, P.C., together with the Thomas More Law Center,
filed a motion for summary judgment on Monday, June 7, 2010, on behalf
of Kevin Murray against the Treasury Department and the FED in the
federal lawsuit pending in the Eastern District of Michigan. The lawsuit, captioned Murray v. Geithner
et al. was brought by attorneys David Yerushalmi and Robert
Muise, representing the plaintiff, Kevin Murray, a taxpayer and
former combat Marine who served in Iraq. The federal lawsuit alleges
that the U.S. government’s takeover and financial
bailout of AIG was in violation of the Establishment Clause
of the First Amendment. Specifically,
at the time of the government bailout (beginning in September
2008 and continuing to the present), AIG was (and still is) the world
leader in promoting Shariah-compliant insurance products. Shariah is
Islamic law, and it is the identical legal doctrine that
demands capital punishment for apostasy and blasphemy and
provides the legal and political mandates for global jihad followed
religiously by the world’s Muslim terrorists. By propping up
AIG with tax payer funds, the U.S. government is directly
and indirectly promoting Islam and, more troubling, Shariah.
In May 2009, Judge Lawrence Zatkoff
rejected the government’s motion to dismiss the complaint
and later rebuffed the defendants’ efforts to stay
the proceeding so the government lawyers could take an extraordinary
appeal to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. The court then
set the ground rules for discovery and granted the parties until
May 2010 to conduct discovery. After
a year of document requests, depositions of current and
former government witnesses, and three separate subpoenas
issued to AIG and the New York Federal Reserve Board, Messrs.
Yerushalmi and Muise filed Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment
this past Monday, arguing that the undisputed facts demonstrate
that the government, through its absolute control and ownership
of AIG, and with tens of billions of tax payer dollars, have directly
and indirectly promoted and supported Shariah as a religious legal
doctrine. What makes this case all the more egregious is that
this doctrine—Shariah—also happens to be the
underlying legal and military doctrine animating jihad against
the West by Muslims from the Middle East, Asia, Russia, Africa, and
even right here at home. Each and every one of the domestic and
foreign jihad terrorists have proclaimed their allegiance
to Shariah and its call for “jihad against apostates
and infidels.” Two experts on Shariah, Shariah-compliant
finance, and jihad testified at length through affidavits
in support of plaintiff’s case. The government could
not—and did not—oppose this expert testimony with any contrary
evidence. A year’s worth of
discovery uncovered the following facts in addition to what was known
from the public record: * AIG has five wholly-owned subsidiaries
which promote and practice Shariah in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia,
Bahrain, and the U.S * These Shariah-compliant companies
employ or otherwise retain the services of Shariah authorities
to tell them how to conduct their business according to
Shariah, including the Shariah-compliant charities to
which these AIG subsidiaries must contribute. * The government places absolutely
no controls on how its billions are used by the Shariah-compliant
companies or to whom they support with their “zakat”
(‘charitable’) dollars. Moreover, these
companies all accept Shariah’s mandate to support
jihad with zakat insofar as they abide by the authoritative
rulings of the world’s leading Shariah authorities.
* Over
one billion taxpayer dollars have flowed through AIG’s
headquarters into supporting AIG’s Shariah businesses
worldwide. * The
government has actively promoted Shariah and Shariah-compliant finance
in many ways and venues:
o The Treasury Department
has published, edited, and updated articles about Shariah-compliant
finance, which essentially promote Islamic law uncritically.
o The
Treasury Department has created and staffed a position called
the Islamic Finance Scholar-in Residence. No other religious
law is so honored. o
Published presentations by senior Treasury Department
officials lauding Shariah-compliant finance and stating explicitly that
the U.S. government “places significant
importance on promoting . . . Islamic finance” and
has “recently deepened our engagement
in Islamic finance in a number of ways,” including
a “call[] for harmonization of Shari’a
standards at the national and international levels.”
o After
the AIG bailout, the Treasury Department co-sponsored a
half-day conference called “Islamic Finance 101” for government
policy makers which was in effect a cheerleading program
to promote Shariah and Shariah-compliant finance. Mr. Yerushalmi remarked: “It is one thing that
our government felt compelled to bail out AIG after its
fortunes were destroyed due to the company’s own recklessness
and bad acts. It is quite another thing to use U.S. taxpayer
dollars to promote and support AIG’s Shariah businesses—all
of which don’t just sell Shariah products to the Muslim
world, but actively promote Shariah as the best, most ethical
way of life. Indeed, the Shariah authorities relied upon
by AIG’s Shariah Supervisory Committees actively promote
jihad—and by jihad we mean kinetic war against the infidel West.”
Mr. Muise, senior trial attorney for the Thomas
More Law Center and co-lead counsel in this case, made the
additional point that “We have not only traced taxpayer
money to support Shariah, we have found explicit public statements
by senior Treasury officials actually telling the world that
it is U.S. government policy to support Shariah in the form of Islamic
finance and even ‘call[ing] for harmonization of Shari’ah’s
standards.’ Since when is it our government’s
position to involve itself in the internal theological debates
surrounding religious laws?” The government defendants
also filed a motion for summary judgment arguing that whatever
aid was provided to AIG’s Shariah businesses, it was both unintended
and de minimus. Richard Thompson, head
of the Thomas More Law Center, added, “It’s outrageous
that the federal government is the owner of a corporation
engaged in a business with interests adverse to the United
States. We filed this lawsuit not only to defend constitutional
principles, but also to defend our national security. It’s
clear we can’t leave the job of protecting America to the Washington
politicians.” The parties will
now continue to brief the issue with cross-opposition and reply
briefs and then the court will decide. Any decision
is likely to end up on appeal at the Sixth Circuit Court
of Appeals. If the government loses, it is quite possible
the case could be heard by the Supreme Court.

in a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the
recently passed health care reform bill (“Obamacare”).
You can read about this lawsuit and download key legal
filings

- AIG
Derivative Lawsuit Against the NY FED: This
lawsuit is in the preparation stage and will challenge
the Fed’s takeover of AIG by establishing an illegal
and invalid trust into which AIG was forced to transfer
80% of its equity and voting rights thereby robbing the
public shareholders of most of the value of their shareholdings.
For a detailed presentation on the theories underlying
this prospective lawsuit, see here. (Any AIG shareholders who wish to
join this lawsuit are encouraged to contact us.)
- Pam
Geller & Robert Spencer v. Miami-Dade County Transit
Authority and CBS Outdoor: This case, now fully settled,
revolves around bus ads our clients, Pam Geller of Atlas Shrugs
and Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch had contracted to run
on Miami-Dade County buses that were pulled after CAIR complained
the ads “offended Muslims”. David Yerushalmi stepped
in (with co-counsel Robert Muise of the Thomas More Law
Center) and with but the threat of a federal lawsuit, got both
Miami-Dade County and CBS to agree to a full retraction and
to replace the ads with even more ads at no additional cost. You
can read about this in more detail here.
- Pam Geller & Robert Spencer (Freedom
Defense Initiative) v SMART Buses of Michigan:
Same issues as in Miami (above) but this time
in Detroit, Michigan. The State controlled “SMART Buses”
refused the FDI ad providing assistance to “apostate”
Muslims who are threatened with fatwas and honor killings
(aka murders). David Yerushalmi has filed a First Amendment
challenge in the Eastern District of Michigan federal
court. Robert Muise of the Thomas More Law Center is co-counsel.
- Working
with a Wall Street financial expert to prepare a detailed
CLE course on the dangers of Shariah in the context of
Shariah-compliant finance. The Law Offices of
David Yerushalmi have produced an earlier one-hour CLE course
which you can take for free here.
- Advising
several non-profit organizations on legal-policy initiatives
researched and drafted by our legal teams that will outlaw
any foreign legal code or judgment/arbitration that violates
our constitutionally protected liberties—one such example
of an illegal foreign legal code is Shariah. This state-by-state
legislation is working its way through several state legislatures
now.
- Advising the group seeking to stop the building
of the Ground Zero Mosque project.

- Lopez et al v. CAIR/Saiyed v. CAIR
(U.S. District Court, D.C.): Now three separate fraud-racketeering
cases against the Council on American-Islamic Relations
(CAIR), the Hamas-Muslim Brotherhood front group operating
in the U.S. as a fund raising arm for global jihad. See
the latest press release here. The key allegations in these complaints
are:
1.
This is a diversity action alleging
fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, intentional infliction
of emotional distress, and violations of the District
of Columbia Consumer Protection Procedures Act (“DCCPPA”) and the Virginia
Consumer Protection Act (“VCPA”)
on behalf of Plaintiffs who sought legal representation
from Defendant Council on American-Islamic
Relations Action Network, Inc., formerly known as Council
on American-Islamic Relations, Inc. (“CAIR”).
CAIR represents itself to the public as a public
interest law firm representing Muslim Americans in matters
relating to civil rights violations, employment discrimination,
and immigration issues. In fact, CAIR
is not a law firm and it does not provide licensed legal
services to its clientele. Rather, CAIR uses the veneer
of a Muslim civil rights organization to carry out its principle
purposes as a criminal organization. Specifically, CAIR has been
identified in several federal prosecutions as a co-conspirator in the
financing and support of international terrorism (i.e., jihad)
operating as a covert front group for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood,
organizations with a long history of terrorism through jihad.
2.
…
3.
This action arises out of a scheme
by CAIR, a criminal organization which fraudulently purports
to be a national public interest law firm, to conceal a
wide-reaching fraud conducted by and through CAIR-VA, a CAIR
branch office in Herndon, Virginia. . . . - Stop the Madrassa v. Almontaser (NY App. Div. 2nd
Dept.): Defamation action by NY grass roots community coalition
suing the former principal of a NY “Arab language and
culture” public school, who sought to silence the school’s
critics with false allegations of criminal behavior. The
school Almontaser designed was in effect a CAIR-Muslim
Brotherhood incubator.
- Representing
former CIA agent and now Iranian expert researcher against
subpoena issued by agents of the Iranian government.
- Representing Customs and Border Protections
Officer in whistleblower disclosures when Obama administration
issues policy directives for officers not to connect
the terror dots.
- Representing local law enforcement
first responders throughout the U.S. when sued or charged
with Islamaphobia by Muslim Brotherhood allies.
