New York Times Tries To Cover Up Story We Broke About Terror Tied Candidate

Peloni:  As what has historically been accepted as the leader of the Fourth Estate, the New York Times has conducted itself in an ever increasing manner of complicity in the shame of what it should otherwise be exposing due to its long held prestige among the Legacy Media.  It is unfortunate that this institutionalized state of capture continues to this day by this falsely presumed pillar of journalism which has failed to improve its preferred duplicities, the practice of which took place during WWII is well known as it acted to shield the shame of the US govt in ignoring the plight of the annihilation of the Jews of Europe.  Indeed, the shame of the Old Gray Lady persists to this day, even as the threat of its coverup is targeting Americans now rather than just Europeans.

We do the reporting. The New York Times does the cover-ups.

In April, Freedom Center Investigates broke the story that Hisham ‘Adam’ Hamawy, an Egyptian Muslim running for Congress in New Jersey, backed with $2M in Islamic cash, had ties to Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, an ally of Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden, tied to the WTC bombing and a plot to bomb the Statue of Liberty and parts of New York City. One of our sources for the backstory was a New York Times story on Hamawy’s testimony at the time. Other outlets, the Free Beacon and FOX News, picked up the story.

A month later, the New York Times clumsily covers or more aptly covers up the story.

!. The New York Times described Omar Abdel Rahman as a “blind, militant Islamist who lived and preached in New Jersey”. In reality, Rahman was an Egyptian Islamic terror leader whose sons went off to Al Qaeda and whose terror infrastructure was entangled with Al Qaeda. Both Al Qaeda and ISIS tried to carry out attacks in his name against the United States.

2. The New York Times claims that the Hamawy-Rahman relationship is “surfacing”. Passive voice in news articles is almost always a tell. The paper fails to credit either Front Page or any of the other publications that worked on breaking the story.

3. Tracey Tully, who’s writing this up, tries to slant the article as much as possible, not even mentioning the actual subject until the fifth paragraph while the first four amount to a campaign press release.

4. The Times and Tully limit their coverage to mentioning only their own past reporting that Hamawy had testified for the terror sheikh at his trial.

They fail to note that…

A. Hamawy served as Rahman’s translator and had a more extended relationship with him

B. My reporting that Hamawy was a vital part of the trip to the terror conference

C. The fact that Hamawy was in a car with the sheikh on the way to a terror conference

D. Recent reporting by Jewish Insider that Hamawy had also volunteered with an Al Qaeda linked group that also had ties to the ‘Blind Sheikh’ and his terror network and that one of the people involved also appears to have ties to his current congressional campaign.

In short, the New York Times ran a heavily slanted piece, e.g. “his critics have been trying with growing urgency to highlight an earlier part of Dr. Hamawy’s history” that touches only on a small portion of what was reported a month ago, ignoring every revelation since, and then trying to run cover for a political candidate.

This is why no one trusts the New York Times. We do the reporting. The New York Times does the cover-ups.
