Pass af syriske lejesoldater som kommer til Libyen for at modtage nye identiteter.
Nu, efter at appel ved en amerikansk domstol har opretholdt den føderale dommer Robart's tilholdelse af den executive order, så lader til det at Trumps planlægger at underskrive en ny executiv order før eller måske alternativt til appellen til højesteretten. Men spørgsmålet forbliver: Er den executive order urimelig? Og er terrortruslen 'imaginær'?
Den libyske klanleder Sheikh Khaled Tantoush mener det ikke. Sheikh Tantoush, en ubønhørlig kritiker af jihad bevægelser og en af Libyens mest estimerede præster, blev tilfangetaget af Libyske 'oprørere' i Sirte i 2011 sammen med Oberst Gaddafi. Han udførte de sidste islamiske ritualer over Gaddafi's krop efter at han var blevet myrdet, og Sheikhen blev selv derefter sat i fængsel og tortureret. Ved en skueprocess i 2013 blev han dømt til fængsel på livstid på falske anklager af "glorificering af Gaddafi", men blev løsladt i sidste måned efter at have tilbragt mere end fem år i fængsel.

In his first interview with Western media since his release from rebel captivity, Sheikh Khaled told SOTT.net that the so-called Muslim ban is meaningless to the vast majority of ordinary Libyans, who find it difficult enough to move from city to city, let alone leave the country for the U.S. There is an extreme cash shortage in the country, and the only Libyans with the means to come to the U.S. are mostly criminals and terrorists. He said:
A small number [of Libyans] might travel to the USA for studying, but the others [who travel] are traitors who have been working for and are paid for by the US government. The majority of Libyans don't care about this ban, because we are struggling to travel from one city to another in Libya... The real Libyans don't care to travel to the USA. They care about finding a solution for Libya. This [travel ban] is a small thing for us.Syrian President Assad gave a similar assessment of the 'ban' on Syrians, telling Yahoo News that it is "an American issue" and that his responsibility is simply to restore stability in his country, "in order to bring [the refugees] back". When asked if he thought some of the refugees are aligned with terrorists, he replied, "Definitely."
Passports for Al-Qaeda
James and JoAnne Moriarty, the only official American spokespersons of the tribes of Libya, say the problem in Libya is even worse. In 2011, al-Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood "rebels" took over all ministries of the Libyan government, including the passport office of the Libyan Interior Ministry in charge of Border Control and Strategic Institutions, which was put under the control of one Abdul Wahhab Hassan Qayed. Qayed's brother was Abu Bakr Hassan Qayed (aka Abu Yahya al-Libi), a top-level al-Qaeda operative who was killed by U.S. drones in June of 2012.

The Moriartys told SOTT.net that the Libyan rebels used their control of the passport office not only to issue fake identities and passports to their fellow terrorists, but also to distribute funds to them, providing millions of dollars to English-speaking fighters sent to the U.S., where they were routinely passed through immigration and were given green cards or multiple-entry visas, at a rate of 100 to 1,000 per month:
"The rate [of entries into the United States] was 100 a month, moving up to 1,000 a month. They have been processing people through Libya since October of 2011 into the United States. They've been doing the same thing into France, same thing into Germany."James Moriarty went on to say that he has spoken to a pilot who flew out of Syria (now deceased), who told the Moriartys that he was part of caravan of three 747s that "picked up over 700 men each in Syria and flew them to the United States", to an airport in New York. The pilots were then "required to sign a 21-page non-disclosure agreement that included guaranteed jail-time if they ever spoke about it." This pilot told the Moriartys that upon landing, U.S. government officials gave these men passports and "buckets of money".
The Moriartys hope that this information about the prevalence of Libyan passports provided to terrorists will influence the U.S. government to stop this from happening. At the very least, officials need to vet everyone who has traveled into the States from Libya since 2011. As for those who continue to come, the Libyan tribes have extended an offer to President Trump to cooperate with American officials.They know who most of these people are because they became notorious in Libya over the last six years of causing bloody mayhem there.
Libyan Tribes Endorse Trump, Want To Work Together
In March of 2016, the Tribal Leaders of Libya officially endorsed Trump for the office of President of the USA. In their message to Trump on behalf of the Tribes, the Moriartys wrote:
"The people of Libya reiterate their pledge to eliminate all the radical Islamists in Libya as soon as the U.S. stops support of these entities in their country. Thereafter, the Great Tribes of Libya have pledged to go country-to-country joining hands with other Tribes of the Middle east, and you as President of the United States, to eliminate radical Islam worldwide."As the Moriartys told SOTT.net on 12 February, this offer still stands. The Tribes are the only Libyans who know who's who in Libya. As such, they are willing and able to work with the Americans to vet any individuals entering the United States from Libya, or carrying Libyan papers.
The Tribal Leaders are the only legitimate representatives of Libya's approximately 6 million citizens. These ordinary Libyans, who make up 95+% of the Libyan population, have suffered for six years under the rule of violent jihadist groups like the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, Ansar al-Sharia, Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS, all of whom were shepherded into the country by Western government agents and their clients in the Middle East. They are natural allies in the fight against the jihadists - not the illegitimate "governments" set up by the terrorists and their supporters.
