Asra Nomani: This is the awakened army that plans to disrupt Trump's inauguration

Last July, when anti-Israel crowds took to the streets of Washington, D.C., to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress, Zaid Muhammad Mahdawi, 26, climbed to the top of a monument on Columbus Circle in front of Union Station and allegedly wrote an ominous message: “ Hamas is coming.” The warning included an inverted red triangle, which the terrorist organization uses as a symbol to identify its targets.

Nearby, protesters lowered the American flag and burned it to ash, confronted US Park Police officers who were trying to arrest instigators, and sprayed other threatening graffiti, including “Die 2 America”, on memorials.

At 3:26 p.m., US Park Police withdrew the protest permit, which had been issued to the ANSWER Coalition, a Washington-based socialist organization. Later, the F.B.I Charged El Mahdaoui and other demonstrators destroyed government property.

“The permit holder failed to answer his phone and the call went directly to voicemail,” an FBI agent wrote in a remarkable affidavit that revealed that someone at the gym El Mahdawi used sent the FBI information about his identity.

After nearly six months, the ANSWER Alliance is preparing to acquire… New statement To host another protest on Monday, according to A A copy of the application I got it from the National Park Service. Event name: “For Peace and Justice – Free Palestine.” That's clearly the goal Inauguration ceremony of President-elect Donald Trump.

In July, Zaid Muhammad Mahdawi, 26, climbed to the top of a monument in Columbus Circle in front of Union Station, and allegedly wrote an ominous message: “Hamas is coming.”

Past behavior suggests that the protests will bring chaos to the streets of the capital. However, National Park Service spokesman Michael Litterst told me that current legal precedent makes it difficult to deny permits based on past incidents.

Critics, such as leaders of the Clarity Coalition, a network of Muslims, former Muslims and allies who oppose extremism, say it is long past time to deny the permits. At the very least, the public should open their eyes wide about who is behind these protests.

As protests develop, media coverage is likely to frame these protests as “organic” and “grassroots” activities. But make no mistake: these events will be part of a larger, well-funded operation. The protesters are allied with US adversaries, including Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and Hamas, and are united in an unholy alliance that blends socialism with political Islam, or political Islam.

The events are organized by a coalition of extremist groups.

This coalition I callThe army woke up“, operating as an alliance between red and green, with red symbolizing socialism and communism, while green represents Islam. These are the same groups that ignited the so-called campus uprising camps across the country last year. Their ultimate goal is to dismantle American democracy and replace it with a system An anti-capitalist socialist. The first way to confront this threat is through transparency, vigilance, and a commitment to the truth.

The application lists the same “person responsible for the event,” as in July: Brian Baker, Marxist founder of the ANSWER coalition.

Protest organizers say they have at least 50 groups “supporting” the protests, and that their motivations are far from grassroots. I was created Public database As part of my work at the Pearl Project, a non-profit journalism initiative, according to my analysis, 25 of the groups are self-described socialist organizations, five are Muslim, Arab or Palestinian, and the final 20 are “contiguous socialist.” “

“Red” in this alliance includes:

• Answer Alliance: A Marxist-Leninist group notorious for organizing protests that amplify anti-American and anti-Israel rhetoric.
• Code Pink: An anti-Israel group funded by Neville Roy Singham, an American billionaire based in Shanghai who is linked to the Chinese Communist Party, according to the British newspaper “Daily Mail”. New York Times report.
• Party of Socialism and Liberation: Advocates of dismantling capitalism and aligning the United States with socialist systems.
• People's Forum: A socialist group that acts as a proxy for Singham's pro-China agenda, as also documented by the New York Times.
• Democratic Socialists of America: The largest socialist organization in the United States and a major supporter of anti-Israel campaigns.

“Green” for this axis includes:

• Students for Justice in Palestine: Founded by UC Berkeley academic Hatem Bazian, this controversial group has sparked numerous anti-Jewish protests on campus, and is now banned on many campuses.
• Palestinian Women’s Gathering: “Committed”Palestinian liberation and beyond“.
• Palestinian Youth Movement: Dedicated to “Mobilization, incitement and confrontation strategy“.
• Palestinian American Community Network: Organization Days of protests In Chicago to disrupt the Democratic Party convention.
• The American Islamic Society: EstablishedSurvival packwith tips on building “liberation zones” on campus and a source from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, whose co-founder, Nihad Awad, said it was “happy” About the incursions carried out by Hamas into Israel on October 7.

Denying a permit based on past behavior isn't easy, authorities say.

In July, I went to the corner of C Street NW To report Who hired buses to transport demonstrators to the first “Hamas is Coming” protest. It was the Party of Socialism and Liberation. This time, if you go to the donations page on the We Fight Back website, you'll see who's getting donations for the January 20 protests. It's the People's Forum, whose logo and tax ID number appear on the donation page.
