President Obama named in Rico Lawsuit for helping terrorists fight Israel
Attorney Larry Klayman, fresh
off a preliminary court ruling that the National Security Agency’s
spying on Americans likely is unconstitutional, now has named President
Obama and others in a racketeering complaint.
Klayman, founder of Freedom Watch and
a columnist for WND, alleges the president and others laundered U.S.
taxpayer money that was spent on Hamas rockets fired against Israel.
The civil lawsuit, filed in federal court in
Washington falls under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act, or RICO, alleges criminal acts by Obama, Secretary of
State John Kerry, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.N.
Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.
Seeking $1.5 billion in compensatory damages
as well as punitive damages, it accuses the global figures of
“laundering U.S. dollars” to Hamas, which is officially designated by
the U.S. government as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
“This money has been foreseeably used to buy
rockets and construct tunnels to attack Israel and terrorize and kill
American and dual American-Israeli citizens who reside or are located in
Israel,” Klayman said in a statement.
“The nation and the world have increasingly
come to see that Obama views himself primarily as a Muslim and acts
accordingly in favoring Islamic interests over Judeo-Christian ones, and
the complaint lays out Obama’s history in documented detail,” he said.
Klayman said Obama’s actions “were calculated to harm the nation of Israel.”
“His facilitating and ordering financial and
other material aid to Hamas, along with his equally anti-Israel
Secretaries of State Kerry and Clinton, and the U.N. Secretary General,
is just the latest deadly chapter in what amounts to criminal activity
which has logically resulted in harm and death to Jews and Christians
and threatens the continued existence of Israel,” he said.
“That is why he and the other defendants were sued under RICO and other relevant laws,” said Klayman.
The White House media office declined to
respond by telephone to a request from WND for comment, instructing a
reporter to send an email. There was no immediately response to the
email inquiry.
The case, No. 14-1484, alleges the defendants
conspired to send hundreds of millions of dollars to Hamas “under the
false pretext that this financial support will be used for humanitarian
purposes.”
“However,” the complaint states, “as recently
reported by Voice of America and the New York Times, the recent killing
of the chief Hamas financial officer by the IDF confirmed that these
U.S. dollars, only some of which [were] found in his bombed out car,
[have] predictably fallen into the hands of Hamas’ terrorist wing, which
controls and was elected by Gazans to govern over them.”
Klayman’s recent case against the
NSA challenged its program of spying on Americans. Two privacy-rights
heavyweights, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic
Frontier Foundation, recently filed friend-of-the-court briefs in
support of Klayman’s arguments.
The case has been advanced to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Help Larry Klayman with his class-action suit against Obama’s use of the NSA to violate Americans’ rights
Klayman sued the NSA over the collection of
telephone metadata from Verizon customers that was detailed in documents
released by intelligence-document leaker Edward Snowden. In December
2013, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon issued a preliminary ruling that
the program was likely unconstitutional, and the case is currently on
appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit.
His newest complaint, with himself and a
number of John Does as plaintiffs, is a civil action and seeks damages
from the defendants “for violating plaintiffs’ and decedents’ rights,
for engaging in racketeering and other prohibited activities, for
engaging in international terrorism, for harboring and concealing
terrorists, for providing material support to terrorists and terrorist
groups, for directly and proximately causing the deaths of plaintiffs’
decedents, and for directly and proximately causing mental anguish,
severe emotional distress, emotional pain and suffering, and the loss of
society, earnings, companionship, comfort, protection, care, attention,
advice, counsel or guidance, plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and
their sons, plaintiffs’ decedents, have experienced and will experience
in the future.”
It alleges fraud, money-laundering, mail fraud, wire fraud, conversion and corruption.
The complaint notes Klayman recently was in Israel when it was attacked by Hamas.
Klayman, it says, “was subject to terroristic
threats, fear, intimidation and blackmail from Hamas, aimed at coercing
him from the exercise of his legal rights in violation of the Hobbs Act
by Hamas seeking to deny his freedom of travel and public advocacy and
business activities in Israel and other activities in Israel by threats
and intimidation aimed at coercing him as a person engaged in public
advocacy and business activities in and with Israel to leave Israel and
disengage with Israel.”
Other “John Doe” plaintiffs also were in Israel at the time of the attacks, the complaint states.
It explains that, according to the law, a
person “knowingly finances terrorism when fully aware of facts that
would inform an alert person of average intelligence that the probable
results of their actions will be to provide funding to a terrorist
organization.”
“One may not naively turn a blind eye, not even a president of the United States,” the complaint states.
