CHAWKI TELL SOME TRUTHReader comment on item: [Charlotte's Web and] Hezbollah in America Submitted by HILDA E. DAVIS (United States), Nov 10, 2008 at 15:03 Chawki Hammoud finally told the truth, he is back in his own country. In my opinion that's exactly where he belongs. He also stated he knew Hezbollah was not welcomed in the U.S. , and that's a known fact. The U.S. doesn't allow, or want terrorist in our country. If Hammoud and Chawki weren't part of Hezbollah, why did they have meetings, and show the video's weekly? What did Chawki mean when he stated: "that didn't stop us from expressing our political view because we believe that freedom of speech is sacred for everyone, I think not." I wonder if he's confused with our American's Civll Liberties of "Freedom of Speech"? I also wonder if he understands that our Civil Liberties don't apply to Illegal Aliens in our country that want to practice their criminal and terrorist acts? Freedom of speech is one thing, but committing crimes and funneling the money earned to a terrorist group that only means us harm, is another thing, and thank god we don't allow it. Chawki also told the truth about Hezbollah being supported by Iran and Syria, but failed to tell the truth about how much money is sent to Hezbollah by its counterparts (illegals) here in the U.S. from their illegal acts. I think he's confused with our government listing Hezbulluh on our terrorist list. We have it listed in bold letters, and what other countries choose to do is their business, not ours, however, here are facts: Hezbollah (Party of God) a.k.a. Islamic Jihad, Revolutionary Justice Organization, Organization of the Oppressed on Earth, and Islamic Jihad for the Liberation of Palestine DATE STARTED/FIRST ACTIVE: Unknown. GOALS: Increasing its political power in Lebanon, and opposing Israel and the Middle East peace negotiations. MAIN ANTI-U.S. ACTIVITIES TO DATE: Known or suspected to have been involved in numerous anti-U.S. terrorist attacks, including the suicide truck bombing of the U.S. embassy and U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut in October 1983, and the U.S. embassy annex in Beirut in September 1984. STRENGTH: Several thousand supporters and a few hundred terrorist operatives. OPERATIONAL LOCATIONS: Operates in the Bekaa Valley, the southern suburbs of Beirut, and southern Lebanon. Has established cells in Europe, Africa, South America, North America, and Asia. AFFILIATIONS: Receives substantial amounts of financial, training, weapons, explosives, political, diplomatic, and organizational aid from Iran and Syria. COMMENTS: A radical Shia organization founded in Lebanon. A Designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) listed as "active" during 2000. I'm not disappointed in your comment that there was no Hezbullah cell in Charlote, and that they didn't need pocket money from them. I'm used to the lies from Middle Easterner's, most of whom are "Pathalogical Liar's: to cover their illegal acts.. I don't know who taught Chawki math, but my figures come up a little different than his. Example, 1000 cartons equal 40 plus cases of 24 cartons per case. Which sounds like a small load to me considering they used panel trucks and vans which would hold a great many more cases of 24 cartons each. With a profit as he outlined of $10.00 per carton, that would equal $10,000.00, not $500.00. Then factor in the benefit of getting them wholesale, makes for an even larger profit per load. I liked the word he used "Caravan" meaning more than one vehicle traveling together. If there were three (3) vehicles making up the "caravan" that would give them a profit of $30,000.00 per trip, and that's a pretty good profit, even if made only once a week. One of his cohorts showed that much profit in one trip over a weekend With all the convenience stores owned by middle easterner's, not to mention Chawki's brother Mohammoud opened his own new store with a government SBA loan financing it for him, all while being an illegal. This enabled them to buy wholesale. Then we can go back to "Sam" that owned a convenience store, and truck van rental business that supplied them their cargo up to the time they chose to break away and buy from JR's, allowing them more profit from their trips. Chawki, why would you state that people who smuggled cigarettes from NC to Michigan didn't make good money? When Sam's ex roommate and his brother were doing the same thing you and your brother were doing, they made quite a bit (several thousand each for their share) each weekend. I'd say this was pretty good money when most American families have to work a full month to make that much money, but you wouldn't know about that, would you? The profit made by Sam's roommate and his brother had to be after expenses, with the brother showing a profit on his own ledger from his weekly trips of over $365,000.00 in just 26 months. I call that a really good profit when one can make over $14,000.00 a month tax free, with a lot of it going to your brother as outlined in the ledger, and other large sums going via trips back to Lebanon. In the U.S. even illegal income, as in from money earned from gambling or prostituting, the individual is suppose to file tax returns and pay taxes on their illegal income, but you can bet neither of the brothers filed, just as I'm sure you and your bother and other cohorts didn't. That just happens to be another of our laws you and the others committed, and continue to commit while here in the good ole USA. Chawki, is it part of your training and terrorist methods to allow a member of your cult to give you up to cut their own deals with our federal agents? They turned you into U.S. agents, and evidently don't have to answer for it? I though perhaps Sam was upset that you and your crew broke away, and went out on your own becoming competitors, and this was why he gave up your names to cut his deal when he was caught at the airport in St. Louis, Missouri with the counterfeit cigarette stamps while en-route to California, and then testified against you.. must have been good training, as his roommate gave up the same 18 names in cutting his deal when caught in Michigan, which allowed them to continue walking the streets, but put you and your brother and others behind bars, and out of our country where you were making so much money. I have one more question for you. If you and Hezbollah hate the Israel's so much, why do you have a Jewish lawyer representing you? Isn't this being a little hippocritical? A jewish lawyer wasn't good enough for your brother during his trial, but is good enough to appear on Fox's documentary and fight for his re-sentencing, even traveling to Lebanon to be interviewed with you and your mother. Quite strange wouldn't you say?. Makes me wonder who's paying his fee and expenses? Could it be Hezbolluh?Submitting....
