Crosstalk: March 7, 2018

​Chris Gaubatz is a national security consultant and vice president of Understanding the Threat. In 2007, Chris began researching the threat of jihadi organizations in the United States by posing as a Muslim convert and attending Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas conferences gaining access as an intern with the Hamas organization, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Virginia. While working at CAIR he uncovered a fraud scheme. He was invited by Hamas/CAIR leaders to work at their headquarters office in Washington, DC. During his time there he obtained over 12,000 pages of documents from Hamas/CAIR and over 300 hours of covert audio/video recordings. His story is featured in the book, 'Muslim Mafia'.

Chris began by defining what CAIR is. CAIR was named in the largest terrorism financing trial ever successfully prosecuted in our nation's history (U.S. v. Holy Land Foundation). The evidence overwhelmingly showed that not only was CAIR a Muslim Brotherhood organization, but they are specifically a Hamas organization.

The Muslim Brotherhood was created in 1928 to restore the Islamic caliphate that had been dissolved. Their goal is to create an Islamic state wherever they are operating and ultimately to create a global caliphate under Sharia. CAIR, in turn, was created for the purpose of promoting the Hamas agenda (Hamas is the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.) here in America and supporting them overseas.

Knowing this history is important because of what's been discovered within the content of information that's come out surrounding the tragic school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Broward County, Florida. The Sheriff's department there has come under considerable scrutiny due to what some are saying is improper response in a time of need.

Part of this controversy surrounds Broward County's decision to have a CAIR representative as a deputy on their staff well before the shooting occurred. Deputy Nezar Hamze is not merely someone who attends CAIR meetings or events but is currently the regional operations director for CAIR's Florida chapter and was the former executive director of CAIR/Florida.

This is astounding news when you consider that this organization, according to their own documents, states that their purpose is to destroy Western civilization from within. Chris believes that having such an individual work inside of a Sheriff's office works toward that end.
