“I have four columns of soldiers with me. I also have a fifth column in the city of Madrid who will betray the city into my hands when I get there.” — General MolaFifth Column: Infiltrators or collaborators with the enemy.
This term for a group of insurgents, traitors, or spies is a calque from Spanish. It dates to 1936 and the Spanish Civil War. That year, Nationalist general Emilio Mola had surrounded Madrid with four military columns and declared that he had a "fifth column" ("quinta columna") within the besieged city. The quotation was widely reported in British and American newspapers and the term quickly caught on and generalized.
On February 25, 2006, the peaceful city and vacation paradise of Orlando was shaken by the arrivals of two groups of traitors to the American Republic who plan a long term stay in Central Florida.
The first group of neo-Nazis numbered no more than 25, and attracted a crowd of over 2,500 counter demonstrators in a march thru the Downtown and Parramore. In the words of one local reporter speaking of the pathetic NSM (National Socialist Movement) demonstration -- "It was like going back in a time machine to World War II and seeing the enemies of my grandparents."
This reporter is right: The neo-Nazis of another era have little or no chance in gaining a foothold with the white majority population of Central Florida. It is a fact that white racism is as dead as the Third Reich; a thing of the past. This is a day and age where most whites have black friends, work mates and relatives -- Mixed marriages and relationships do not even cause comments in public.
The real threat to Central Florida and the nation are not by the Nazis of yesteryear who can muster no more than a couple of dozen demonstrators after months of intense efforts; the real threat happened without counter demonstrators and was greeted with favor by no less than the Mayor of Orlando who was perhaps guided by President Bush's ignorant embrace of an alleged civil rights organization for Muslims.
Thus counter demonstrators should have ignored the tiny band of Nazis and traitors from the past. Instead, they should have focused their efforts on the Council on Islamic-American Relations (CAIR): The Fatherland of comtemporary neo-Nazi traitors and 5th Columists who are backed by untold fascist billions from Saudi Arabia and represent a clear and present danger to the security of the Republic.
CAIR: Islamists Fooling the Establishmentby Daniel Pipes and Sharon ChadhaMiddle East
QuarterlySpring 2006
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), headquartered in Washington, is perhaps the best-known and most controversial Muslim organization in North America. CAIR presents itself as an advocate for Muslims' civil rights and the spokesman for American Muslims. "We are similar to a Muslim NAACP," says its communications director, Ibrahim Hooper.[1] Its official mission—"to enhance understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding"[2]—suggests nothing problematic.
Starting with a single office in 1994, CAIR now claims thirty-one affiliates, including a branch in Canada, with more steadily being added. In addition to its grand national headquarters in Washington, it has impressive offices in other cities; the New York office, for example, is housed in the 19-story Interchurch Center located on Manhattan's Riverside Drive.
But there is another side to CAIR that has alarmed many people in positions to know. The Department of Homeland Security refuses to deal with it. Senator Charles Schumer (Democrat, New York) describes it as an organization "which we know has ties to terrorism."Senator Dick Durbin (Democrat, Illinois) observes that CAIR is "unusual in its extreme rhetoric and its associations with groups that are suspect." Steven Pomerantz, the FBI's former chief of counterterrorism, notes that "CAIR, its leaders, and its activities effectively give aid to international terrorist groups."The family of John P. O'Neill, Sr., the former FBI counterterrorism chief who perished at the World Trade Center, named CAIR in a lawsuit as having "been part of the criminal conspiracy of radical Islamic terrorism" responsible for the September 11 atrocities. Counterterrorism expert Steven Emerson calls it "a radical fundamentalist front group for Hamas."
