RICO and CAIR: CAIR collects millions from foreign donors thanks to non-profit shell game

From the Daily Caller:
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) conceals donations from overseas through a series of shell organizations, according to documents from court actions involving the Muslim advocacy group. 
Since its founding in 1994, CAIR has presented itself to American Muslims and the media as a single organization centered on American concerns. 
But it shows a different face to the IRS, with multiple corporate entities that conceal the large financial donations that come to CAIR from Middle East sources. 
As a registered lobbying group, CAIR is required to report to the IRS contributions over $5,000. Its shifting 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) branches, however, make it possible to collect millions of dollars from oil-rich Muslim nations without disclosure. 
Documents show CAIR has received millions of dollars in overseas contributions and tens of millions in pledges from overseas.CAIR’s convoluted structure and funding machinations are dizzying. 
Today, the original Council on American Islamic Relations doesn’t exist at all. In June 2013, CAIR changed its name to the nondescriptly named Washington Trust Foundation, Inc. (WTF). 
“Plentiful legal evidence, acquired in the course of a lawsuit—plus CAIR’s own official filing documents to the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) and IRS—make clear that CAIR has engaged in a thinly-disguised money laundering operation,” David Reaboi, vice president for strategic communications at the Center for Security Policy, told The Daily Caller.
GO READ THE WHOLE THING. 

RICO 

If we ever want to shut down radical Islam in the United States, RICO is the way to do it. The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO)provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization.

The RICO Act focuses specifically on racketeering, and it allows the leaders of a syndicate to be tried for the crimes which they ordered others to do or assisted them, closing a perceived loophole that allowed someone who told a man to, for example, murder, to be exempt from the trial because he did not actually commit the crime personally.

Under RICO, a person who is a member of an enterprise that has committed any two of 35 crimes—27 federal crimes and 8 state crimes—within a 10-year period can be charged with racketeering. 

Those found guilty of racketeering can be fined up to $25,000 and sentenced to 20 years in prison per racketeering count.

In addition, the racketeer must forfeit all ill-gotten gains and interest in any business gained through a pattern of "racketeering activity."

RICO also permits a private individual harmed by the actions of such an enterprise to file a civil suit; if successful, the individual can collect treble damages (damages in triple the amount of actual/compensatory damages).

NOW, HERE'S WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING WITH REGARD TO THIS SPECIFIC CAIR SITUATION:


Under the law, the meaning of racketeering activity is set out at 18 U.S.C. § 1961. As currently amended it includes:


Pattern of racketeering activity requires at least two acts of racketeering activity, one of which occurred after the effective date of this chapter and the last of which occurred within ten years (excluding any period of imprisonment) after the commission of a prior act of racketeering activity.

LET'S BE CLEAR,



CAIR IS POSSIBLY GUILTY OF MONEY-LAUNDERING
CAIR IS ALSO POSSIBLY GUILTY OF OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE (were they forthright with regards to the Holy Land Foundation Trial, for instance).
CAIR IS ALSO POSSIBLY GUILTY OF TERRORISM.

CAIR HAS SHOWN A REPEATED PATTERN OF HIRING MEN TO SERVE IN AN EXECUTIVE CAPACITY WHO THEN TURN TO TERRORISM.

IS THIS SIMPLY A COINCIDENCE, OR IS IT PART OF A PATTERN OF ORGANIZED CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR WITHIN CAIR?

AND WHERE DOES THE MONEY TO RUN CAIR COME FROM? DONORS FROM OUTSIDE THE U.S.? 
AND WHAT OTHER "CHARITIES" ARE THESE OUTSIDE DONORS PUTTING THEIR MONEY INTO? 
ARE THESE OUTSIDE DONORS, FOR INSTANCE, ALSO DONATING MONEY TO OPEN MOSQUES IN THE UNITED STATES?
ARE THE DONATIONS TO CAIR AND THE DONATIONS TO PLANTS NEW MOSQUES IN THE UNITED STATES ALSO PART OF A PATTERN OF ORGANIZED CRIME?



AND THEN, IF THE PATTERN OF CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR CAN BE PROVEN THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION OF CAIR AND IT'S "CHARITIES" (TERRORIST CONNECTIONS), AND IT'S FAVORED MOSQUES,

RICO CAN BE USED TO PUT

ALL THOSE MOSQUES, AND "CHARITIES", AND CAIR OFFICES

OUT OF BUSINESS.

BYE BYE.

UPDATE --- AND LOOK WHAT WE HAVE HERE:

Seems to me, the RICO act should apply to every god-forsaken mosque in this country as well. None are completely funded by local congregants exclusively. NONE.

I agree.

Look, I'm not being a pollyanna. I know there is currently no political will to use RICO to shut down Islam.

But it is good to know that there is a legal mechanism to accomplish such when the political will finally arises.
