Introduction To The Hamilton Corner And The Call To Be God's Ambassadors In A Dark World
Abraham Hamilton III Darkness is not an affirmative force. It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light. This is the, Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite, delivering people
out of the bondage of mainstream media
Abraham Hamilton III and the philosophies of this world. God has called you and me to be his ambassadors, even in this dark moment. Let's not miss our moment.
And now, the Hamilton Corner.
Welcome Back To The Studio And The Transition From Part-Time To Full-Time Jobs
Abraham Hamilton III Good evening, everybody. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio. I am your host, Abraham Hamilton iii. I am, live in studio. Do not adjust your speakers. I am back in studio. Glad to be here with you. I am joined by the corner contingent right across from me, my man, 100 grand, Mr. Bobby. And in the screening room, our friendly neighborhood woodaholic, perpetually in recovery, who leaps tall stacks of birch in a single bound. None other than Mr. M. Marty Sparks, lighting up the dark from there. And I'm delighted to be in studio again with you. And we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program. At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you, are making your transition from your part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome.
God's Primacy On Family, Current Events, And The Importance Of Disciple Making In Election Season
And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding the primacy that God places on family and welcoming his view to govern, to guard and to guide your engagement starting first and foremost in your homes. If God can grasp a hold of us in our homes, there's no question as to what could happen in our society. It's amazing so many things have transpired. I mean, you have the feds raiding Ilhan Omar's home and what do, what do you know? I guess it's not cool to marry your brother. Your brother. Yo, you shouldn't marry your water. Nor should you probably take a seat in Congress under a false name. You know, under a false name. Got all kind of stuff that are trans, that are transpiring, that have, that has transpired. but we can't take it all in one show. So we have to take a few steps at a time. Many of you, if not most of you at this very moment are making your transition from your part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome. And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding the primacy that God places on family. This is something we must not overlook.
Utilizing Election Season For Discipleship And The Necessity Of God's Word In Navigating Issues
The order of the day is disciple making. And of course, here we are in the middle of election season. It's a great opportunity to utilize this season, and I hate to say it that way. What happened to the good old election day? Eh, that's out of. Out of the window. but to take this opportunity for those around you, your loved ones, your children, to show them how we steward our citizenship in this country to where we not only participate by vote, but that we cast an informed. But we'll get to that quite a bit more when we get to the next segment, because there's so much, so much, so much, to discuss. There's so much to discuss. But before we get into the issues of the day, we must turn to God's holy word.
Introduction To The Book Of Esther And The Historical Context Of King Xerxes And Queen Vashti
We never want to get into the place to where we sideline God's word and attempt to navigate the issues of the day, but we must seek to, welcome the Lord's word, to give light to us, to enable us to engage appropriately. Praise God. Praise God. All right, we'll begin the program today in the Book of Esther. In the book of Esther, the name Esther is actually the Persian name that was assigned to her, but her Hebrew name is actually Hadassah. You read the scripture. The scripture tells us plainly that Hadassah was the, daughter of Mordecai's uncle. So that what would that make her? Because his cousin. His cousin. it's significant on a host of fronts. By way of reminder, the Book of Esther is dated between 486 and 464 BC, generally speaking. And so this is a pivotal time in world history. And there's certain things that are, vitally, vitally necessary for us to comprehend. so just to kind of rewind the tape a little bit, the Persian king Ahasuerus, Greek name Xerxes, was basically having a pretty raunchy party, and he sought to, flaunt his wife Vashti for his audience, the pagan king Xerxes.
Esther's Rise To Queen And Haman's Plot To Annihilate The Hebrew People
Vashti didn't want to play with it. And then Xerxes, disposed of Vashti. And so Hadassah comes to the fore in Persia, because Xerxes basically did kind of a flavor of love kind of thing, searched the kingdom to find his next wife and, and had a contest. And each of the women had an opportunity, to make Xerxes acquaintance. And ultimately, you go back and read this for yourself. He chose, Hadassah to become his next wife. Well, as the scripture unfolds, the wicked advisor Haman to King Xerxes developed a plan to seek to annihilate all of the Hebrew people, all of the Jewish people. He sought to foment a holocaust within the Persian Empire. And it's interesting. The scripture tells us that Haman was actually a descendant of Agag, whereas Mordecai was a Benjamin, a descendant of the same tribe that King Saul comes from. Stop me if you heard this before. Saul, King Saul of the tribe of Benjamin versus, Agag. Right. this is a redo, if you will, of that same standoff. where Saul faltered.
Mordecai's Plea To Esther And The Threat To The Jewish People In The Persian Empire
God gave a redemptive opportunity for the descendant of the tribe of Benjamin to stand firm where Saul had faltered. Historically. Well, we fast forward to chapter four, picking up at verse 13, because this is immediately after Mordecai informs Hadassah of the plan to annihilate all of the Jewish people in the Persian Empire. And we pick up at verse 13 in Esther, chapter 4. And this is what the word of God says. And this is Mordecai, addressing Esther or, Hadassah, who, by the way, he cared for after Hadassah's parents passed, were, passed away. Esther, chapter 4, verse 13. This is what the text says. Then Mordecai told them, meaning the messengers, to reply to Esther, do not imagine that you and the king's palace can escape any more than all the Jews. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, and you and your father's house will perish.
Esther's Courageous Decision To Approach The King And Her Famous Declaration, If I Perish, I Perish
And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this. Then Esther told her messengers to reply to Mordecai, go assemble all the Jews who are found in Susa and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maidens also will fast in the same way. And thus I will go into the king, which is not according to the law.
Lessons From Esther's Response To Crisis And The Critical Need For Prayer And Fasting
And if I perish, I perish. So Mordecai went away and did just as Esther had commanded him. A couple things I want to point out, and I. I am overwhelmingly confident that this is instructive for us. First, when Esther is confronted with the reality of the circumstances, the urgency of the moment, and confronted with the fact that her particular life station would not insulate her from the havoc that would be that was to come, she was made keenly aware of that. Sometimes people in our culture, when we see kind of, the evidence of a chaotic horizon, we could think, well, that's over there. But see where I am over here, it's not going to touch me. And I simply want to say, guys, we cannot afford to have that disposition. One of the first realities is because of technology, even in rural portions of our country, we are finding more and more and more that the spirit of the age is penetrating even the rural portions of our country through what people often call phones. But they're not phones. They're mobile, pocket rocket computers. Do not assume that if things turn or things worsen in our nation that your particular station will insulate you from it, perpetually, because that's. It's not the truth. It's just not the truth. The next thing I want to point out is Esther's response. Esther's response was immediately to call Mordecai. Let, me say it differently. Esther's response was that I must fast and pray. Before she sought to engage with activity, her first commitment was to fasting and to praying. Brothers and sisters, I cannot sufficiently emphasize the necessity for the people of God in our nation to return to being a praying people.
Faithfulness In Prayer, Historical Parallels, And The Dangers Of Prayer Pendulums
If we think that we are going to address the issues of our day solely by political maneuvering, solely by electoral engagement, solely by. By a Supreme Court precedent and opinion interpretation. Guys, that is not the case. That is not the case. If you go back into our own nation's history, our nation's history is a David and Goliath story. Nobody envisioned that those, you know, few ragtag colonists would have a chance to stand against the Goliath. That was the Red Coats, you know. And as, Benjamin Franklin said at the Constitutional Convention, when they were during, the Revolutionary War period, and they were immediately aware of the potential for their death daily, they did not cease to offer prayer in the same Philadelphia chamber. But then you Fast forward about 11 years or so, and you have the opportunity to debate the Constitution in an environment of peace. They proceed to try to try to commence to debating. And with no prayer, which is one of the things of human nature. But as the people of God and dwell by the spirit of God, we have to understand that we have to mature beyond our prayer lives. Being a pendulum that swings from crisis to crisis. When we think things are cool and we think things are peaceful, then you can't find us seeking our Lord. Guys, that's an evidence. That's evidence of immaturity. That's an instability. And if your prayer life is reduced to nothing but the. But the. But the swing. You remember the monkey bars, and you get to one bar, and you could skip a bar. You know, you just swing from One bar crisis. And the Lord doesn't hear from you until the next crisis arises. M. That's a feature of immaturity. Esther sets herself to pray.
The Synergy of Prayer and Action: Esther's Example and the Deliverance Provided by Yahweh
Esther sets the, the people around her immediately to pray. Esther appeals to Mordecai to join her and in fasting and praying. All right, Then the fasting and the praying is followed by action, followed by, accompanied by, joined by action. I will submit to you that that is an example for us to follow, that as we seek the Lord and as we fast and pray, as the Lord reveals to us wisdom and strategy. I'm going to talk a little bit about some of the tools and resources that are available to give us wisdom as we start the next segment. then we act upon that wisdom and that strategy. And I want to point out to you something because a lot of times when people discuss the book of Esther, Hadassah, we talk, they talk about this portion of the scripture. But do you know what the deliverance that came from Yahweh was? Do you know what it was in Persia at this time? The deliverance was to give the Jewish people an opportunity to fight. Do you understand that? That the culmination of Esther's taking her life into her own hands, in which she says, if I perish, I perish. That is her entering the king's chamber without a prior invitation. Which is why she said if I perish, I perish. Because she knows that's a death sentence.
The Feast of Purim and the Legal Right for Jewish People to Defend Themselves
And the, the deliverance that Yahweh provides for the Jewish people here is what becomes the feast of the feast of Purim. Well, what was the deliverance? The deliverance was that the Jewish people were given the legal right to defend themselves, the legal right to fight. And what I am telling you that we are in a similar situation to where the deliverance from our Lord will will look very, very much like the opportunity to fight.
The Opportunity to Fight: Spiritual Warfare and the Sanctity of Life
The opportunity to fight. And when I say fight, remember the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. I'm not talking about fisticuffs. I'm talking about using the tools and the resources at our disposal and using them in a God honoring God, glorifying, worship filled manner to contend for the King of kings in the highways, byways and hedges of our society, the gospel and disciple making at the front line.

Defining 'Fighting': Faithfulness and Obedience to God's Requirements
Shining light into the darkness. This is the Hamilton corner on American Family Radio.
Abraham Hamilton III Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here. And I want to be clear about what I mean when I'm talking about, fighting. I, I am not, like I said, not talking about fisticuffs. I am discussing in, in the, in the way that, the scripture says it. Our, the founder of afr, Don Wildmon, would say this repeatedly. what God requires of his people is faithfulness, faithfulness, obedience to what God requires of us. Not, you know, being Monday morning quarterback, so to speak, and taking temperatures and saying, well, this, well this is this and this is that. What does God require of you and me?
What Does God Require of Us? Being Found Faithful in the Land He Placed Us
You know, what is, what does God require of us? What does God require of us in the land where he placed us? We could have very easily been made citizens of a foreign land, man. But, but the divine king of glory, the sovereign, over time and eternity has saw fit to allow me to be born a citizen of the United States of America. You know, like the Apostle Paul said, you know, I'm a citizen of Rome. I didn't purchase my citizenship. I was born a citizen. And I'm in a similar situation. What does God require of us in the land where he's placed us? What is foremost required of his servant that he be found faithful.
Personal Update: Caregiving for Parents and Navigating Grief After Father's Passing
That is what I'm talking about. Now. I wanted to say something and I've alluded to this over the, I guess I would say probably the last few months I've been on the air. Some of you listening may know about this already. I've been away from the microphone more this year than any other year, broadcasting. And that is because I am, a caregiver for my parents. And not too, a little while ago, my father passed, away, you know, Abraham Hamilton Jr. his faith has now become sight. And so I was away these last couple weeks navigating, that situation. And so I know some of you might have noticed I've been away a bit more this year than previous, years. And that's the reason why. So I appreciate your, patience and the people praying for my family and I, and you know, it's one of those things that is very difficult to prepare for. but, I'm grateful to be back on the air with you. You know, it's amazing that God gives us so much wisdom. Like Ecclesiastes 7:2 says, it's better to go to the house of mourning than to the house of feasting, because this is the end of every man and the living.
The Sobering Reality of Mortality and the Importance of Heavenly-Mindedness for Earthly Good
Take it to heart. Nothing, provides that sober reminder of the fact that our temporal engagement is just that, temporal. And the position that we as believers have is the opportunity to engage temporally with the imminent reality that eternity is what truly hangs in the balance and contrary to what, people suggest. You know, you're so heavenly minded, you have no earthly good. If you are truly heavenly minded, it would cause you to be maximally, for maximized earthly good because you would understand the significance and the import of the time that you have on this side of eternity.
Living Full Out for God's Glory: The Call to Salvation and Living for Him
And to, to one of the things, my, my dad was my little, league coach in a lot in several different sports. And one of the things he said all the time is leave it on the floor, you know, leave it on the floor. So if we understand, the truth of eternity, one, what will we be afraid of? And two, why not live full out for the Lord's glory, you know, and so that is, what I would encourage everyone who is listening to this program with. First and foremost, if you do not know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, by God's grace, may today be the day of salvation for you. Do not harden your hearts as the Lord appeals to you. There's only one name under heaven by which men must be saved.
Salvation as a Free Gift and the Reasonable Service of Living for Christ
That is the name of Jesus, Yeshua, the Messiah. That you have the privilege of being a beneficiary of that dual imputation where your sin is imputed to Christ and Christ's righteousness is imputed to you. Salvation is a free gift of God. It is not the product of works, it's not the product of works. And those who are born again the blessed beneficiaries of regeneration.
The Greatest Commandments: Loving God and Loving Your Neighbor as Yourself
It is in light of that regeneration that we offer the worship filled response that the Apostle Paul describes as our reasonable service. If he saved us, the least we could do is live for him. The least we could do is live for him. And when the love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts and, it moves us, as Jesus said when he was asked about the greatest commandment, the first, love the Lord your God with all your heart, your mind, your strength, all that you are. The second is like it, love your neighbor as yourself. That is what compels me to share the gospel with my neighbor. That is what compels me to tell the truth of Jesus Christ. That is what compels me to engage in discipleship relationships, to love my neighbor as myself.
Compelled by Love: Sharing the Gospel and Discipleship for Future Generations
And when you think about that, and you think about things like Psalm 78, well, what will our grandchildren and great grandchildren inherit and, or confront? It is that love for neighbor that compels us, to put the light on the lampstand. So, guys, this is the opportunity that we have. You know, this is the moment that God has ordained for us. How will we respond to this moment?
The Privilege of Voting in America and the Importance of Casting an Informed Vote
Now, I want to mention, in terms of the tools that are available to us, we have the privilege to do in our nation what people in human history have not had the opportunity to do, what many and other nations around the world, wish they could do. Like right now, Brazil is dealing with what seems to be another, a stolen election. In Brazil, we have the opportunity to vote. It's not the only thing we could do, but it is a think we must do is a thing we can do. You know, and I, as I said, not merely to cast a vote, but cast an informed vote.

They are real people, real people who are on the ground, volunteer panelists who participate in evaluating these candidates. And there's an oversight panel that reviews all of the evaluations. We're talking about not just the top line races.

Sometimes people know about the congressional races. But we're talking about all the way down to, to state judicial races, all the way down to state representatives.

Inform yourself, arm yourself in prayer, do your own homework, understand what is on your ballot and utilize that as a tool, not the tool, but a tool in your arsenal as you engage. All right, I'm going to deal with something now. And it's just, it is, it isn't, it is consistently grading to see this happen over and over and over again. And I pointed this out when it happened and I'm pointing it out now because it keeps on happening and people oftentimes, don't realize that this is a concerted effort.
Examining Election Irregularities: Media Narratives vs. Prosecuted Cases of Non-Citizen Voting
So you guys may recall when in the wake of the 2020 election and a lot of people were talking about whether or not they were election irregularities and things of that nature and on a dime, and I pointed this out when it happened, George Stephanopoulos was conducting an interview, I believe it was with Kristi Noemi, and he said that there is no, illegal voting going on. There's no election fraud. Remember that? And then Kristi Noem ticked off several instances. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. And then immediately Stephanopoulos goes, well, it's not widespread. Y' all remember that? Not widespread. Well, fast forward. Even under the Biden administration, the Biden DOJ prosecuted illegal non citizen voters. It was a very small number, but he prosecuted. So it's one thing to, to discover and investigate it and it's another thing to prosecute it. And so you move forward. President Trump wins retakes office. The Department of Justice has, has a new sheriff in town, so to speak.
Investigating Non-Citizen Voting: Harmeet Dillon's Efforts and Media's Role
And Harmeet Dhillon is a U.S. department of, justice attorney over the civil rights division and she's leading investigations of non citizen voters. And you guys will recall my question is if it's not widespread, shouldn't we try to find out how wide it is spread? Right. If it's a narrow spread, why, why are there so many people who seem to be doggedly opposed to seeing how wide did it spread? I mean, it's not widespread. Is it narrowly spread? Is it smatteringly spread? Help me, how widespread? Well, sure enough, you know, and I was minding, my own business, tending to my family, and then I come across 60 minutes where Leslie Stahl is interviewing Harme. Dillon and I want to play it and let you decide for yourself, but does it seem to you that Leslie Stahl is once again attempting to pan the reality that there are people in our country? First of all, they're here illegally. Let's get that started. And secondarily, yeah, they're illegal aliens that are trying, not only trying, that are voting. Listen to it for yourself. Watch it for yourself.
Leslie Stahl Interviews Harmeet Dillon on Non-Citizen Voting: Distrust and Prosecution Volume
Listen to and watch clip number one. Clip one, go.
Non citizens cannot vote in federal elections. So the question is simply how many of them there are. Harmi Dhillon, the head of the civil Rights division of the Justice Department, has spearheaded the government's voter roll initiative. She spoke to us from California. There are people who feel that the point is to sow distrust about the whole election system. There are very few people who are noncitizens who end up voting. Very, very few. And so therefore, what's the purpose? The point is actually the opposite of what you were saying is not to sow distrust. The distrust is there. And so all of these kinds of crimes are being prosecuted now for the first time really in volume. And even the Biden administration prosecuted 13 people for non citizen voting. Thirteen people.
Thousands of Non-Citizen Voting Cases Under Investigation: Challenging Media Narratives
I mean the numbers are tiny. So Leslie, we've been in office for less than two years. We've had investigations ongoing for over a year. And it takes time. There are literally thousands of them out there that we are looking at.
Abraham Hamilton III There are literally thousands of them out there. It just, it boggles my mind. Why do these, these spokesmiles consistently try to pan and say was so rare.
Parsing Language: Prosecution vs. Investigation and Media's Lack of Interest in the Process
Why would we need to even do anything? I mean, it's such a little bitty bitty bitty amount. Why should we even care? We trying to figure out. And she says, man, we've been in office two years and we got thousands of cases in two years. And this is why. And this is why we have to, you know, parse language unfortunately, because you guys know, one of the things you try to do is translate legalese for you when, when Harmeet Dillon says that the prior administration prosecuted 13 people, prosecuted 13 people. You have to understand what that means. Prosecution means that they investigated, detained, filed felony indictment and advanced that indictment in a court of law that resulted in a conviction. That's what the word prosecution means. The word prosecution and investigation are not the same terms. So if you prosecuted 13, how many more did the Biden administration investigate? Isn't it interesting that the journalist, journalist Leslie Stahl, didn't offer that as a follow up question?
Journalism or Advocacy? Leslie Stahl's Approach to the Non-Citizen Voting Issue
And then when Harmony Dillon says, we are looking into thousands of cases now, it's amazing to me, it's amazing to me that Leslie Stahl did not show any interest whatsoever into the investigatory process. To which I would ask you, are we talking journalism or are we talking advocacy under the banner of journalism?

Critique of Media's Role in Shaping Public Opinion on Voting and Illegal Aliens
Abraham Hamilton III and one minute commentaries are [email protected] back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here. You know, and you know, 60 Minutes is under Barry Weiss's direction now. And it's just, you know, what was old boy named who got fired? Scott Pelley. Was that his name? It's just frankly I, I am and I know the American people are sick of, you know, spokesmiles trying to tell us what we need to think. Like what, what, what happened to the idea that all Americans shared, you know, one person voting illegally is too many? I mean, what happened to that? You know, and it, it just when you have people like this that are saying these kind of things like, oh, it's so rare. Oh, it doesn't happen. So, so what? Don't care about it at all. Like, you know it's happening.
Restoring Trust: Investigating Election Integrity and Addressing Partisan Preferences
Yes. Yeah, like, oh, you know, the illegal aliens. Nobody's illegal, Bobby. Of course nobody's illegal. What are you talking about? It's just, it's disgustingly exhausting to where they continue to try to put a wet blanket on and say you don't even need to look into it, you shouldn't even care. And of course it is all meant to be, you know, politically speedy and try to tamp, down the zeal across the country for things like voter identification and things of that nature. And that's why what Harmeet Dillon said was right. No, no, no, it's not creating distrust. The distrust already exists.
The Muslim Brotherhood's Strategic Goal: A Civilization Jihad in North America
We're trying to restore trust by investigating the things that need to be investigated. So it's just. It's just mind boggling, how you have people like that, that, that continue to assert their partisan preferences instead of being, you know, they call themselves journalists. Like, I'm telling you plainly, I'm giving you my opinion on this program. You know, this is a program of my commentary and my opinion, of course, I want my opinion, anchored in fact, anchored in truth. But they try to present themselves as though we're just neutral arbiters of information when they're saying things like, well, it's just so rare. Why investigate it at all? Basically, what she's saying, it's like, yo, it a. It's not rare. We got thousands of cases we're working on right now.
Background of the Muslim Brotherhood Memo: Accidental Discovery and its Significance
Right now. All right, another thing I wanted to bring out, and many of you in this audience, because you guys are always on the ball, are so familiar with it, but there are others. Someone may be new to the program and maybe maybe never heard of this. I wanted to take some time to remind you of a document that was discovered in 2004. And I want to give you a little bit of the background of the document. And the purpose of this is to show that this is not, you know, hyperbolic opinion assertion. This is real deal holy field facts that have been discovered and that have been available to us for quite some time. But there are some who are willingly ignorant of certain things. So what am I talking about? I am talking about that document that was discovered by the FBI accidentally, by the way, by way of reminder, it was an accidental discovery in 2004.
The FBI's Discovery of Muslim Brotherhood Archives and Ismael El Barasi's Connection to Hamas
And I'm going to talk a little bit about that history that resulted in the FBI's, discovery of a document called, quote, an explanatory memorandum on the General Strategic goal for the Muslim Brotherhood in North America. That's the title of the document. The title, an explanatory memorandum on the General Strategic goal for the Muslim Brotherhood in North America. A bit of the history. In 2004, the FBI acquired evidence that led to them to secure a search warrant for the home of a man by the name of Ismael El Barsi, Ismail El Barssi, who was acting as a fundraiser for Hamas in Annandale Virginia. All right, pause for the cause. Ismail El Barsi was acting as a fundraiser for the organization, the terrorist group that executed the most horrendous slaughter of Jewish people since the Holocaust. On October 7, 2023, this man, Ismael El Barasi, was raising money for them in Virginia. Just take a moment and reflect on this, guys, and, and this man. I'm telling you, the rapid pace of information and keeping your head going back and forth and get back and forth, and no ability to sit with anything and to process anything. Guys, that's intentional. It's intentional. All right, this cat was raising money in 2004 for her mouse in Annandale, Virginia. Al Barrasi had been stopped on traffic by a police officer in Maryland. Why was he stopped on traffic? Because he was traveling with a woman who appeared to be filming the support structures of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
Discovery of Muslim Brotherhood Archives in a Hidden Basement During a Search Warrant Execution
Gee, I wonder why they will be doing that. Taken video of the support structures of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. All right, the FBI ultimately obtains the search warrant for Albarazi's residence. And during the search, they discovered a, hidden basement. In that basement, they found more than 80 boxes. 80 boxes of the Muslim Brotherhood's archives in North America. All right, does everybody see, imagine this. Oh, Ishmael is rolling with the lady, and he's not getting out doing the filming. He's rolling with it with a lady. She's doing the filming. Police officers in Maryland, not FBI officers, regular police officers. Witness erratic driving. That leads to a problem, a stop based on probable cause. The probable cause of that stop leads to, oh, the local officers contact the FBI, is like, y' all probably want to look into this. The FBI then gets a search warrant for Albarazi's house. And they get to his house. He got a basement underneath the basement. Are y' all following me? He got. He got a. He had a basement underneath the basement. And underneath the basement, this cat has 80 boxes of, Muslim Brotherhood archives.
Key Documents Recovered: Explanatory Memorandum and Holy Land Foundation's Links to Hamas
Amongst the documents that are recovered,
it
Abraham Hamilton III includes this explanatory memorandum on the general strategic goal of the Muslim Brotherhood in North America. Not only do they found that document, they also found a document that linked, and some of you heard this name before, the Holy Land foundation for Relief and Development, which was initially set up as a tax exempt. Tax exempt charity. They found that, oh, no, they were using 501 C3 raised funds to give money to Hamas. All right, now I'm going over those facts again, because a lot of us have heard things like a hole in their foundation. Trial just kind of thrown out there, you know.
The Explanatory Memorandum: A 1991 Document Detailing the Muslim Brotherhood's Strategic Goals
And I've heard about it most of the document, and don't really understand and don't recall the specific facts as to how all of that came together, which is why I wanted to revisit that history. All right, well, this, this, this document give you the name again, not that one. Yes, the explanatory memorandum on the general strategic goal for the Muslim Brotherhood in North America. This was a document that was written in 1991 by a man named Muhammad Akram, also known as Muhammad Al Duluni at Looney. He's writing the document for the Shura Council of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Muslim Brotherhood's Long-Term Plan: A 1987 Strategy for Influencing American Elections
The Shura Council of the Muslim Brotherhood. In this document, he goes on to refer to it being an addendum to the, quote, long term plan approved and adopted by the Shura Council in 1987, end quote. And this memorandum was intended to be incorporated in the 1987 document. Now, pause again. Why am I saying all of this, guys?
Objective of the Memorandum: Establishing an Islamic Movement to Unify Muslims into a Global Islamic State
Why am I, Why am I saying all of this? I'm saying all of this because I want you to understand that this is not something that somebody went to sleep last night, woke up, you know what I've been thinking, you know, you know, you know, Marty Martin, I've been thinking, you know, you know, you know, I went to Buffalo Wild Wings the other night, you know what I'm saying? And then, you know, the idea came to my mind, why don't we try to use as a cop so we can influence elections in America? God, this is in 1987. And the plan goes further, way further back than that. But I'm just talking about just this document itself, right? It's a 1987 plan that has been adopted and approved by the Shura Council. And by the way, what, what, what was the objective? Well, I'm so glad that you asked. The objective of the document and we'll, you know, we'll, we'll. I'll give you some links for this because you can get the document yourself. You can look it up for yourself, actually, because it's available.
Civilizational Jihad: Destroying Western Civilization from Within and Establishing God's Religion
But the document describes, quote, the enablement of Islam in North America to establish an effective and stable Islamic movement led by the Muslim Brotherhood, which adopts Muslims causes domestically and globally and which works to expand the observant Muslim base and to unify Muslims into an observant global Islamic state. End quote. The document goes on to explain, quote, the process of settlement is called. The process of settlement is a civilizational. Sorry, a civilization jihadist process with all the Word means the equan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and and so called God. In their documents, God's religion is made victorious over all other religions. Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for jihad yet.
The Grand Mission: A Civilizational Jihadist Responsibility for the Muslim Brotherhood
It is a Muslim's destiny to perform jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes. And there is no escape from that destiny except for those who choose to slack.
A Network of Institutions: Advancing the Ideological Agenda Through Community Associations and Advocacy Groups
End quote. Quote. This grand mission is a civilization jihadist responsibility which lies on the shoulders of Muslims and on top of them, the Muslim Brotherhood in this country. End quote.
The Muslim Brotherhood's Own Articulation: Normalizing Hijab, Halal Food, and Economic Jihad
The document explains that this civilizational jihad or this grand jihad, and this is in the explanatory memorandum on the general strategic goal for the Brotherhood in North America. This grand jihad is not jihad in the sense of armed struggle, guys. This is in the document. This grand jihad is not in the sense of an armed struggle, but a civilizational one. Rather than operating as a single organization, it outlines a network of affiliated institutions and groups, community associations, advocacy associations and religious centers, all intended to advance the same ideological agenda, guys. And this is why the document is so important. This strategy is not hypothetical, nor is it an outsider's interpretation. It's the Muslim Brotherhood's own articulation of what it intended to do. That's why it's so important. That's not some commentator like me saying, you know, I'm interpreting the document for you. No, no. This is them outlining for themselves.
Sabotaging Western Civilization: Using Infidel Money and Internal Destabilization
They identify organizations like CARE and Islamic Association, Islamic Society of North America. And they identify the list of the organizations as an addendum to the memo that will aid them in accomplishing this task. They talk about normalizing hijab wearing. They talk about the normalization, you know, of halal food sources in our country. They talk about economic jihad that you use the infidels money against them. Do I need to go back to the quote to where, their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands. It's about using our own hands to sabotage what they describe as their miserable house.
Willing Ignorance: The Existence of the Muslim Brotherhood's Strategy Since 2004
Now, of course, do I believe every single person identifies themselves as a Muslim believes this? No. But the burden on proof is not on me to identify who believes and who doesn't.
The Muslim Brotherhood's Strategy: Adopted in 1987, Discovered in 2004, and its Implications Today
And for us to act like this doesn't exist is an exercise of grand naivete which provokes the query if we have this information, guys, we've had this memo since. Since 2004. That's when this was discovered in 2004. And as I mentioned, the memo itself describes it as being a part of a strategy that was adopted in of a part approved in 1987. Now think about that and think about M. Abdul Al said, running for Senate.
Understanding the Times: M. Abdul Al-Khatib and the Importance of Recognizing the Current Landscape
What is really going on? Guys, we have to understand the time that we're in

Introduction To The Hamilton Corner And The Call To Be God's Ambassadors In A Dark World
Abraham Hamilton III Darkness is not an affirmative force. It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light. This is the, Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite, delivering people
out of the bondage of mainstream media
Abraham Hamilton III and the philosophies of this world. God has called you and me to be his ambassadors, even in this dark moment. Let's not miss our moment.
And now, the Hamilton Corner.
Welcome Back To The Studio And The Transition From Part-Time To Full-Time Jobs
Abraham Hamilton III Good evening, everybody. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio. I am your host, Abraham Hamilton iii. I am, live in studio. Do not adjust your speakers. I am back in studio. Glad to be here with you. I am joined by the corner contingent right across from me, my man, 100 grand, Mr. Bobby. And in the screening room, our friendly neighborhood woodaholic, perpetually in recovery, who leaps tall stacks of birch in a single bound. None other than Mr. M. Marty Sparks, lighting up the dark from there. And I'm delighted to be in studio again with you. And we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program. At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you, are making your transition from your part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome.
God's Primacy On Family, Current Events, And The Importance Of Disciple Making In Election Season
And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding the primacy that God places on family and welcoming his view to govern, to guard and to guide your engagement starting first and foremost in your homes. If God can grasp a hold of us in our homes, there's no question as to what could happen in our society. It's amazing so many things have transpired. I mean, you have the feds raiding Ilhan Omar's home and what do, what do you know? I guess it's not cool to marry your brother. Your brother. Yo, you shouldn't marry your water. Nor should you probably take a seat in Congress under a false name. You know, under a false name. Got all kind of stuff that are trans, that are transpiring, that have, that has transpired. but we can't take it all in one show. So we have to take a few steps at a time. Many of you, if not most of you at this very moment are making your transition from your part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome. And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding the primacy that God places on family. This is something we must not overlook.
Utilizing Election Season For Discipleship And The Necessity Of God's Word In Navigating Issues
The order of the day is disciple making. And of course, here we are in the middle of election season. It's a great opportunity to utilize this season, and I hate to say it that way. What happened to the good old election day? Eh, that's out of. Out of the window. but to take this opportunity for those around you, your loved ones, your children, to show them how we steward our citizenship in this country to where we not only participate by vote, but that we cast an informed. But we'll get to that quite a bit more when we get to the next segment, because there's so much, so much, so much, to discuss. There's so much to discuss. But before we get into the issues of the day, we must turn to God's holy word.
Introduction To The Book Of Esther And The Historical Context Of King Xerxes And Queen Vashti
We never want to get into the place to where we sideline God's word and attempt to navigate the issues of the day, but we must seek to, welcome the Lord's word, to give light to us, to enable us to engage appropriately. Praise God. Praise God. All right, we'll begin the program today in the Book of Esther. In the book of Esther, the name Esther is actually the Persian name that was assigned to her, but her Hebrew name is actually Hadassah. You read the scripture. The scripture tells us plainly that Hadassah was the, daughter of Mordecai's uncle. So that what would that make her? Because his cousin. His cousin. it's significant on a host of fronts. By way of reminder, the Book of Esther is dated between 486 and 464 BC, generally speaking. And so this is a pivotal time in world history. And there's certain things that are, vitally, vitally necessary for us to comprehend. so just to kind of rewind the tape a little bit, the Persian king Ahasuerus, Greek name Xerxes, was basically having a pretty raunchy party, and he sought to, flaunt his wife Vashti for his audience, the pagan king Xerxes.
Esther's Rise To Queen And Haman's Plot To Annihilate The Hebrew People
Vashti didn't want to play with it. And then Xerxes, disposed of Vashti. And so Hadassah comes to the fore in Persia, because Xerxes basically did kind of a flavor of love kind of thing, searched the kingdom to find his next wife and, and had a contest. And each of the women had an opportunity, to make Xerxes acquaintance. And ultimately, you go back and read this for yourself. He chose, Hadassah to become his next wife. Well, as the scripture unfolds, the wicked advisor Haman to King Xerxes developed a plan to seek to annihilate all of the Hebrew people, all of the Jewish people. He sought to foment a holocaust within the Persian Empire. And it's interesting. The scripture tells us that Haman was actually a descendant of Agag, whereas Mordecai was a Benjamin, a descendant of the same tribe that King Saul comes from. Stop me if you heard this before. Saul, King Saul of the tribe of Benjamin versus, Agag. Right. this is a redo, if you will, of that same standoff. where Saul faltered.
Mordecai's Plea To Esther And The Threat To The Jewish People In The Persian Empire
God gave a redemptive opportunity for the descendant of the tribe of Benjamin to stand firm where Saul had faltered. Historically. Well, we fast forward to chapter four, picking up at verse 13, because this is immediately after Mordecai informs Hadassah of the plan to annihilate all of the Jewish people in the Persian Empire. And we pick up at verse 13 in Esther, chapter 4. And this is what the word of God says. And this is Mordecai, addressing Esther or, Hadassah, who, by the way, he cared for after Hadassah's parents passed, were, passed away. Esther, chapter 4, verse 13. This is what the text says. Then Mordecai told them, meaning the messengers, to reply to Esther, do not imagine that you and the king's palace can escape any more than all the Jews. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, and you and your father's house will perish.
Esther's Courageous Decision To Approach The King And Her Famous Declaration, If I Perish, I Perish
And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this. Then Esther told her messengers to reply to Mordecai, go assemble all the Jews who are found in Susa and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maidens also will fast in the same way. And thus I will go into the king, which is not according to the law.
Lessons From Esther's Response To Crisis And The Critical Need For Prayer And Fasting
And if I perish, I perish. So Mordecai went away and did just as Esther had commanded him. A couple things I want to point out, and I. I am overwhelmingly confident that this is instructive for us. First, when Esther is confronted with the reality of the circumstances, the urgency of the moment, and confronted with the fact that her particular life station would not insulate her from the havoc that would be that was to come, she was made keenly aware of that. Sometimes people in our culture, when we see kind of, the evidence of a chaotic horizon, we could think, well, that's over there. But see where I am over here, it's not going to touch me. And I simply want to say, guys, we cannot afford to have that disposition. One of the first realities is because of technology, even in rural portions of our country, we are finding more and more and more that the spirit of the age is penetrating even the rural portions of our country through what people often call phones. But they're not phones. They're mobile, pocket rocket computers. Do not assume that if things turn or things worsen in our nation that your particular station will insulate you from it, perpetually, because that's. It's not the truth. It's just not the truth. The next thing I want to point out is Esther's response. Esther's response was immediately to call Mordecai. Let, me say it differently. Esther's response was that I must fast and pray. Before she sought to engage with activity, her first commitment was to fasting and to praying. Brothers and sisters, I cannot sufficiently emphasize the necessity for the people of God in our nation to return to being a praying people.
Faithfulness In Prayer, Historical Parallels, And The Dangers Of Prayer Pendulums
If we think that we are going to address the issues of our day solely by political maneuvering, solely by electoral engagement, solely by. By a Supreme Court precedent and opinion interpretation. Guys, that is not the case. That is not the case. If you go back into our own nation's history, our nation's history is a David and Goliath story. Nobody envisioned that those, you know, few ragtag colonists would have a chance to stand against the Goliath. That was the Red Coats, you know. And as, Benjamin Franklin said at the Constitutional Convention, when they were during, the Revolutionary War period, and they were immediately aware of the potential for their death daily, they did not cease to offer prayer in the same Philadelphia chamber. But then you Fast forward about 11 years or so, and you have the opportunity to debate the Constitution in an environment of peace. They proceed to try to try to commence to debating. And with no prayer, which is one of the things of human nature. But as the people of God and dwell by the spirit of God, we have to understand that we have to mature beyond our prayer lives. Being a pendulum that swings from crisis to crisis. When we think things are cool and we think things are peaceful, then you can't find us seeking our Lord. Guys, that's an evidence. That's evidence of immaturity. That's an instability. And if your prayer life is reduced to nothing but the. But the. But the swing. You remember the monkey bars, and you get to one bar, and you could skip a bar. You know, you just swing from One bar crisis. And the Lord doesn't hear from you until the next crisis arises. M. That's a feature of immaturity. Esther sets herself to pray.
The Synergy of Prayer and Action: Esther's Example and the Deliverance Provided by Yahweh
Esther sets the, the people around her immediately to pray. Esther appeals to Mordecai to join her and in fasting and praying. All right, Then the fasting and the praying is followed by action, followed by, accompanied by, joined by action. I will submit to you that that is an example for us to follow, that as we seek the Lord and as we fast and pray, as the Lord reveals to us wisdom and strategy. I'm going to talk a little bit about some of the tools and resources that are available to give us wisdom as we start the next segment. then we act upon that wisdom and that strategy. And I want to point out to you something because a lot of times when people discuss the book of Esther, Hadassah, we talk, they talk about this portion of the scripture. But do you know what the deliverance that came from Yahweh was? Do you know what it was in Persia at this time? The deliverance was to give the Jewish people an opportunity to fight. Do you understand that? That the culmination of Esther's taking her life into her own hands, in which she says, if I perish, I perish. That is her entering the king's chamber without a prior invitation. Which is why she said if I perish, I perish. Because she knows that's a death sentence.
The Feast of Purim and the Legal Right for Jewish People to Defend Themselves
And the, the deliverance that Yahweh provides for the Jewish people here is what becomes the feast of the feast of Purim. Well, what was the deliverance? The deliverance was that the Jewish people were given the legal right to defend themselves, the legal right to fight. And what I am telling you that we are in a similar situation to where the deliverance from our Lord will will look very, very much like the opportunity to fight.
The Opportunity to Fight: Spiritual Warfare and the Sanctity of Life
The opportunity to fight. And when I say fight, remember the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. I'm not talking about fisticuffs. I'm talking about using the tools and the resources at our disposal and using them in a God honoring God, glorifying, worship filled manner to contend for the King of kings in the highways, byways and hedges of our society, the gospel and disciple making at the front line.

Defining 'Fighting': Faithfulness and Obedience to God's Requirements
Shining light into the darkness. This is the Hamilton corner on American Family Radio.
Abraham Hamilton III Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here. And I want to be clear about what I mean when I'm talking about, fighting. I, I am not, like I said, not talking about fisticuffs. I am discussing in, in the, in the way that, the scripture says it. Our, the founder of afr, Don Wildmon, would say this repeatedly. what God requires of his people is faithfulness, faithfulness, obedience to what God requires of us. Not, you know, being Monday morning quarterback, so to speak, and taking temperatures and saying, well, this, well this is this and this is that. What does God require of you and me?
What Does God Require of Us? Being Found Faithful in the Land He Placed Us
You know, what is, what does God require of us? What does God require of us in the land where he placed us? We could have very easily been made citizens of a foreign land, man. But, but the divine king of glory, the sovereign, over time and eternity has saw fit to allow me to be born a citizen of the United States of America. You know, like the Apostle Paul said, you know, I'm a citizen of Rome. I didn't purchase my citizenship. I was born a citizen. And I'm in a similar situation. What does God require of us in the land where he's placed us? What is foremost required of his servant that he be found faithful.
Personal Update: Caregiving for Parents and Navigating Grief After Father's Passing
That is what I'm talking about. Now. I wanted to say something and I've alluded to this over the, I guess I would say probably the last few months I've been on the air. Some of you listening may know about this already. I've been away from the microphone more this year than any other year, broadcasting. And that is because I am, a caregiver for my parents. And not too, a little while ago, my father passed, away, you know, Abraham Hamilton Jr. his faith has now become sight. And so I was away these last couple weeks navigating, that situation. And so I know some of you might have noticed I've been away a bit more this year than previous, years. And that's the reason why. So I appreciate your, patience and the people praying for my family and I, and you know, it's one of those things that is very difficult to prepare for. but, I'm grateful to be back on the air with you. You know, it's amazing that God gives us so much wisdom. Like Ecclesiastes 7:2 says, it's better to go to the house of mourning than to the house of feasting, because this is the end of every man and the living.
The Sobering Reality of Mortality and the Importance of Heavenly-Mindedness for Earthly Good
Take it to heart. Nothing, provides that sober reminder of the fact that our temporal engagement is just that, temporal. And the position that we as believers have is the opportunity to engage temporally with the imminent reality that eternity is what truly hangs in the balance and contrary to what, people suggest. You know, you're so heavenly minded, you have no earthly good. If you are truly heavenly minded, it would cause you to be maximally, for maximized earthly good because you would understand the significance and the import of the time that you have on this side of eternity.
Living Full Out for God's Glory: The Call to Salvation and Living for Him
And to, to one of the things, my, my dad was my little, league coach in a lot in several different sports. And one of the things he said all the time is leave it on the floor, you know, leave it on the floor. So if we understand, the truth of eternity, one, what will we be afraid of? And two, why not live full out for the Lord's glory, you know, and so that is, what I would encourage everyone who is listening to this program with. First and foremost, if you do not know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, by God's grace, may today be the day of salvation for you. Do not harden your hearts as the Lord appeals to you. There's only one name under heaven by which men must be saved.
Salvation as a Free Gift and the Reasonable Service of Living for Christ
That is the name of Jesus, Yeshua, the Messiah. That you have the privilege of being a beneficiary of that dual imputation where your sin is imputed to Christ and Christ's righteousness is imputed to you. Salvation is a free gift of God. It is not the product of works, it's not the product of works. And those who are born again the blessed beneficiaries of regeneration.
The Greatest Commandments: Loving God and Loving Your Neighbor as Yourself
It is in light of that regeneration that we offer the worship filled response that the Apostle Paul describes as our reasonable service. If he saved us, the least we could do is live for him. The least we could do is live for him. And when the love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts and, it moves us, as Jesus said when he was asked about the greatest commandment, the first, love the Lord your God with all your heart, your mind, your strength, all that you are. The second is like it, love your neighbor as yourself. That is what compels me to share the gospel with my neighbor. That is what compels me to tell the truth of Jesus Christ. That is what compels me to engage in discipleship relationships, to love my neighbor as myself.
Compelled by Love: Sharing the Gospel and Discipleship for Future Generations
And when you think about that, and you think about things like Psalm 78, well, what will our grandchildren and great grandchildren inherit and, or confront? It is that love for neighbor that compels us, to put the light on the lampstand. So, guys, this is the opportunity that we have. You know, this is the moment that God has ordained for us. How will we respond to this moment?
The Privilege of Voting in America and the Importance of Casting an Informed Vote
Now, I want to mention, in terms of the tools that are available to us, we have the privilege to do in our nation what people in human history have not had the opportunity to do, what many and other nations around the world, wish they could do. Like right now, Brazil is dealing with what seems to be another, a stolen election. In Brazil, we have the opportunity to vote. It's not the only thing we could do, but it is a think we must do is a thing we can do. You know, and I, as I said, not merely to cast a vote, but cast an informed vote.
Introducing iVoterGuide: A Comprehensive Tool for Informed Voting and Candidate Research
An informed vote, a tool that is available to you free of charge is the Voter Guide prepared by ivoterguide. It is the best, the most robust, the most resource voter information tool that is available. The tool is rooted in research. There's, a profile for the candidates.

They are real people, real people who are on the ground, volunteer panelists who participate in evaluating these candidates. And there's an oversight panel that reviews all of the evaluations. We're talking about not just the top line races. Oftentimes, you know, when, ah, pre, when the presidency is on the ballot, people know about the presidency or U.S. senate race, people know about that. Sometimes people know about the congressional races. But we're talking about all the way down to, to state judicial races, all the way down to state representatives. And in, in many jurisdictions, if not most of the jurisdictions, even your local school boards, the information is available for you there. so there's broad, broad, broad coverage.
Ballot Measures and Comprehensive Voter Information: AFA Action and iVoterGuide Resources
It gives you a tool right at your fingertips to get down to it. IvoterGuy.com is the website and there's another tool because many people are not aware of this. But across, across 24 states there are about 58 ballot measures that are on the ballot. And this is a sad reality, but it's true.

We have a resource for [email protected] AFAAction.net it is a guide for each of the state ballot initiatives that are on your ballots this election cycle. as I mentioned, there are 58 ballot measures across 24 states.

Inform yourself, arm yourself in prayer, do your own homework, understand what is on your ballot and utilize that as a tool, not the tool, but a tool in your arsenal as you engage. All right, I'm going to deal with something now. And it's just, it is, it isn't, it is consistently grading to see this happen over and over and over again. And I pointed this out when it happened and I'm pointing it out now because it keeps on happening and people oftentimes, don't realize that this is a concerted effort.
Examining Election Irregularities: Media Narratives vs. Prosecuted Cases of Non-Citizen Voting
So you guys may recall when in the wake of the 2020 election and a lot of people were talking about whether or not they were election irregularities and things of that nature and on a dime, and I pointed this out when it happened, George Stephanopoulos was conducting an interview, I believe it was with Kristi Noemi, and he said that there is no, illegal voting going on. There's no election fraud. Remember that? And then Kristi Noem ticked off several instances. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. And then immediately Stephanopoulos goes, well, it's not widespread. Y' all remember that? Not widespread. Well, fast forward. Even under the Biden administration, the Biden DOJ prosecuted illegal non citizen voters. It was a very small number, but he prosecuted. So it's one thing to, to discover and investigate it and it's another thing to prosecute it. And so you move forward. President Trump wins retakes office. The Department of Justice has, has a new sheriff in town, so to speak.
Investigating Non-Citizen Voting: Harmeet Dillon's Efforts and Media's Role
And Harmeet Dhillon is a U.S. department of, justice attorney over the civil rights division and she's leading investigations of non citizen voters. And you guys will recall my question is if it's not widespread, shouldn't we try to find out how wide it is spread? Right. If it's a narrow spread, why, why are there so many people who seem to be doggedly opposed to seeing how wide did it spread? I mean, it's not widespread. Is it narrowly spread? Is it smatteringly spread? Help me, how widespread? Well, sure enough, you know, and I was minding, my own business, tending to my family, and then I come across 60 minutes where Leslie Stahl is interviewing Harme. Dillon and I want to play it and let you decide for yourself, but does it seem to you that Leslie Stahl is once again attempting to pan the reality that there are people in our country? First of all, they're here illegally. Let's get that started. And secondarily, yeah, they're illegal aliens that are trying, not only trying, that are voting. Listen to it for yourself. Watch it for yourself.
Leslie Stahl Interviews Harmeet Dillon on Non-Citizen Voting: Distrust and Prosecution Volume
Listen to and watch clip number one. Clip one, go.
Non citizens cannot vote in federal elections. So the question is simply how many of them there are. Harmi Dhillon, the head of the civil Rights division of the Justice Department, has spearheaded the government's voter roll initiative. She spoke to us from California. There are people who feel that the point is to sow distrust about the whole election system. There are very few people who are noncitizens who end up voting. Very, very few. And so therefore, what's the purpose? The point is actually the opposite of what you were saying is not to sow distrust. The distrust is there. And so all of these kinds of crimes are being prosecuted now for the first time really in volume. And even the Biden administration prosecuted 13 people for non citizen voting. Thirteen people.
Thousands of Non-Citizen Voting Cases Under Investigation: Challenging Media Narratives
I mean the numbers are tiny. So Leslie, we've been in office for less than two years. We've had investigations ongoing for over a year. And it takes time. There are literally thousands of them out there that we are looking at.
Abraham Hamilton III There are literally thousands of them out there. It just, it boggles my mind. Why do these, these spokesmiles consistently try to pan and say was so rare.
Parsing Language: Prosecution vs. Investigation and Media's Lack of Interest in the Process
Why would we need to even do anything? I mean, it's such a little bitty bitty bitty amount. Why should we even care? We trying to figure out. And she says, man, we've been in office two years and we got thousands of cases in two years. And this is why. And this is why we have to, you know, parse language unfortunately, because you guys know, one of the things you try to do is translate legalese for you when, when Harmeet Dillon says that the prior administration prosecuted 13 people, prosecuted 13 people. You have to understand what that means. Prosecution means that they investigated, detained, filed felony indictment and advanced that indictment in a court of law that resulted in a conviction. That's what the word prosecution means. The word prosecution and investigation are not the same terms. So if you prosecuted 13, how many more did the Biden administration investigate? Isn't it interesting that the journalist, journalist Leslie Stahl, didn't offer that as a follow up question?
Journalism or Advocacy? Leslie Stahl's Approach to the Non-Citizen Voting Issue
And then when Harmony Dillon says, we are looking into thousands of cases now, it's amazing to me, it's amazing to me that Leslie Stahl did not show any interest whatsoever into the investigatory process. To which I would ask you, are we talking journalism or are we talking advocacy under the banner of journalism?

Critique of Media's Role in Shaping Public Opinion on Voting and Illegal Aliens
Abraham Hamilton III and one minute commentaries are [email protected] back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here. You know, and you know, 60 Minutes is under Barry Weiss's direction now. And it's just, you know, what was old boy named who got fired? Scott Pelley. Was that his name? It's just frankly I, I am and I know the American people are sick of, you know, spokesmiles trying to tell us what we need to think. Like what, what, what happened to the idea that all Americans shared, you know, one person voting illegally is too many? I mean, what happened to that? You know, and it, it just when you have people like this that are saying these kind of things like, oh, it's so rare. Oh, it doesn't happen. So, so what? Don't care about it at all. Like, you know it's happening.
Restoring Trust: Investigating Election Integrity and Addressing Partisan Preferences
Yes. Yeah, like, oh, you know, the illegal aliens. Nobody's illegal, Bobby. Of course nobody's illegal. What are you talking about? It's just, it's disgustingly exhausting to where they continue to try to put a wet blanket on and say you don't even need to look into it, you shouldn't even care. And of course it is all meant to be, you know, politically speedy and try to tamp, down the zeal across the country for things like voter identification and things of that nature. And that's why what Harmeet Dillon said was right. No, no, no, it's not creating distrust. The distrust already exists.
The Muslim Brotherhood's Strategic Goal: A Civilization Jihad in North America
We're trying to restore trust by investigating the things that need to be investigated. So it's just. It's just mind boggling, how you have people like that, that, that continue to assert their partisan preferences instead of being, you know, they call themselves journalists. Like, I'm telling you plainly, I'm giving you my opinion on this program. You know, this is a program of my commentary and my opinion, of course, I want my opinion, anchored in fact, anchored in truth. But they try to present themselves as though we're just neutral arbiters of information when they're saying things like, well, it's just so rare. Why investigate it at all? Basically, what she's saying, it's like, yo, it a. It's not rare. We got thousands of cases we're working on right now.
Background of the Muslim Brotherhood Memo: Accidental Discovery and its Significance
Right now. All right, another thing I wanted to bring out, and many of you in this audience, because you guys are always on the ball, are so familiar with it, but there are others. Someone may be new to the program and maybe maybe never heard of this. I wanted to take some time to remind you of a document that was discovered in 2004. And I want to give you a little bit of the background of the document. And the purpose of this is to show that this is not, you know, hyperbolic opinion assertion. This is real deal holy field facts that have been discovered and that have been available to us for quite some time. But there are some who are willingly ignorant of certain things. So what am I talking about? I am talking about that document that was discovered by the FBI accidentally, by the way, by way of reminder, it was an accidental discovery in 2004.
The FBI's Discovery of Muslim Brotherhood Archives and Ismael El Barasi's Connection to Hamas
And I'm going to talk a little bit about that history that resulted in the FBI's, discovery of a document called, quote, an explanatory memorandum on the General Strategic goal for the Muslim Brotherhood in North America. That's the title of the document. The title, an explanatory memorandum on the General Strategic goal for the Muslim Brotherhood in North America. A bit of the history. In 2004, the FBI acquired evidence that led to them to secure a search warrant for the home of a man by the name of Ismael El Barsi, Ismail El Barssi, who was acting as a fundraiser for Hamas in Annandale Virginia. All right, pause for the cause. Ismail El Barsi was acting as a fundraiser for the organization, the terrorist group that executed the most horrendous slaughter of Jewish people since the Holocaust. On October 7, 2023, this man, Ismael El Barasi, was raising money for them in Virginia. Just take a moment and reflect on this, guys, and, and this man. I'm telling you, the rapid pace of information and keeping your head going back and forth and get back and forth, and no ability to sit with anything and to process anything. Guys, that's intentional. It's intentional. All right, this cat was raising money in 2004 for her mouse in Annandale, Virginia. Al Barrasi had been stopped on traffic by a police officer in Maryland. Why was he stopped on traffic? Because he was traveling with a woman who appeared to be filming the support structures of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
Discovery of Muslim Brotherhood Archives in a Hidden Basement During a Search Warrant Execution
Gee, I wonder why they will be doing that. Taken video of the support structures of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. All right, the FBI ultimately obtains the search warrant for Albarazi's residence. And during the search, they discovered a, hidden basement. In that basement, they found more than 80 boxes. 80 boxes of the Muslim Brotherhood's archives in North America. All right, does everybody see, imagine this. Oh, Ishmael is rolling with the lady, and he's not getting out doing the filming. He's rolling with it with a lady. She's doing the filming. Police officers in Maryland, not FBI officers, regular police officers. Witness erratic driving. That leads to a problem, a stop based on probable cause. The probable cause of that stop leads to, oh, the local officers contact the FBI, is like, y' all probably want to look into this. The FBI then gets a search warrant for Albarazi's house. And they get to his house. He got a basement underneath the basement. Are y' all following me? He got. He got a. He had a basement underneath the basement. And underneath the basement, this cat has 80 boxes of, Muslim Brotherhood archives.
Key Documents Recovered: Explanatory Memorandum and Holy Land Foundation's Links to Hamas
Amongst the documents that are recovered,
it
Abraham Hamilton III includes this explanatory memorandum on the general strategic goal of the Muslim Brotherhood in North America. Not only do they found that document, they also found a document that linked, and some of you heard this name before, the Holy Land foundation for Relief and Development, which was initially set up as a tax exempt. Tax exempt charity. They found that, oh, no, they were using 501 C3 raised funds to give money to Hamas. All right, now I'm going over those facts again, because a lot of us have heard things like a hole in their foundation. Trial just kind of thrown out there, you know.
The Explanatory Memorandum: A 1991 Document Detailing the Muslim Brotherhood's Strategic Goals
And I've heard about it most of the document, and don't really understand and don't recall the specific facts as to how all of that came together, which is why I wanted to revisit that history. All right, well, this, this, this document give you the name again, not that one. Yes, the explanatory memorandum on the general strategic goal for the Muslim Brotherhood in North America. This was a document that was written in 1991 by a man named Muhammad Akram, also known as Muhammad Al Duluni at Looney. He's writing the document for the Shura Council of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Muslim Brotherhood's Long-Term Plan: A 1987 Strategy for Influencing American Elections
The Shura Council of the Muslim Brotherhood. In this document, he goes on to refer to it being an addendum to the, quote, long term plan approved and adopted by the Shura Council in 1987, end quote. And this memorandum was intended to be incorporated in the 1987 document. Now, pause again. Why am I saying all of this, guys?
Objective of the Memorandum: Establishing an Islamic Movement to Unify Muslims into a Global Islamic State
Why am I, Why am I saying all of this? I'm saying all of this because I want you to understand that this is not something that somebody went to sleep last night, woke up, you know what I've been thinking, you know, you know, you know, Marty Martin, I've been thinking, you know, you know, you know, I went to Buffalo Wild Wings the other night, you know what I'm saying? And then, you know, the idea came to my mind, why don't we try to use as a cop so we can influence elections in America? God, this is in 1987. And the plan goes further, way further back than that. But I'm just talking about just this document itself, right? It's a 1987 plan that has been adopted and approved by the Shura Council. And by the way, what, what, what was the objective? Well, I'm so glad that you asked. The objective of the document and we'll, you know, we'll, we'll. I'll give you some links for this because you can get the document yourself. You can look it up for yourself, actually, because it's available.
Civilizational Jihad: Destroying Western Civilization from Within and Establishing God's Religion
But the document describes, quote, the enablement of Islam in North America to establish an effective and stable Islamic movement led by the Muslim Brotherhood, which adopts Muslims causes domestically and globally and which works to expand the observant Muslim base and to unify Muslims into an observant global Islamic state. End quote. The document goes on to explain, quote, the process of settlement is called. The process of settlement is a civilizational. Sorry, a civilization jihadist process with all the Word means the equan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and and so called God. In their documents, God's religion is made victorious over all other religions. Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for jihad yet.
The Grand Mission: A Civilizational Jihadist Responsibility for the Muslim Brotherhood
It is a Muslim's destiny to perform jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes. And there is no escape from that destiny except for those who choose to slack.
A Network of Institutions: Advancing the Ideological Agenda Through Community Associations and Advocacy Groups
End quote. Quote. This grand mission is a civilization jihadist responsibility which lies on the shoulders of Muslims and on top of them, the Muslim Brotherhood in this country. End quote.
The Muslim Brotherhood's Own Articulation: Normalizing Hijab, Halal Food, and Economic Jihad
The document explains that this civilizational jihad or this grand jihad, and this is in the explanatory memorandum on the general strategic goal for the Brotherhood in North America. This grand jihad is not jihad in the sense of armed struggle, guys. This is in the document. This grand jihad is not in the sense of an armed struggle, but a civilizational one. Rather than operating as a single organization, it outlines a network of affiliated institutions and groups, community associations, advocacy associations and religious centers, all intended to advance the same ideological agenda, guys. And this is why the document is so important. This strategy is not hypothetical, nor is it an outsider's interpretation. It's the Muslim Brotherhood's own articulation of what it intended to do. That's why it's so important. That's not some commentator like me saying, you know, I'm interpreting the document for you. No, no. This is them outlining for themselves.
Sabotaging Western Civilization: Using Infidel Money and Internal Destabilization
They identify organizations like CARE and Islamic Association, Islamic Society of North America. And they identify the list of the organizations as an addendum to the memo that will aid them in accomplishing this task. They talk about normalizing hijab wearing. They talk about the normalization, you know, of halal food sources in our country. They talk about economic jihad that you use the infidels money against them. Do I need to go back to the quote to where, their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands. It's about using our own hands to sabotage what they describe as their miserable house.
Willing Ignorance: The Existence of the Muslim Brotherhood's Strategy Since 2004
Now, of course, do I believe every single person identifies themselves as a Muslim believes this? No. But the burden on proof is not on me to identify who believes and who doesn't.
The Muslim Brotherhood's Strategy: Adopted in 1987, Discovered in 2004, and its Implications Today
And for us to act like this doesn't exist is an exercise of grand naivete which provokes the query if we have this information, guys, we've had this memo since. Since 2004. That's when this was discovered in 2004. And as I mentioned, the memo itself describes it as being a part of a strategy that was adopted in of a part approved in 1987. Now think about that and think about M. Abdul Al said, running for Senate.
