With sanity and patriotism now on display in the Oval Office as well as within the United States national security apparatus, it is an appropriate time to call on someone out of the past who may help us out of our delusional national security sleep walk. For decades, we as a country have violated the foundational truth of Sun Tzu: know your enemy and know yourself.
Philip Haney was a founding member of the United States Department of Homeland Security (USDHS), an author, patriot, and whistleblower. He was a student of history, kind, patient, a gentleman, friend, and a Christian. He died on February 21, 2020.
Haney, among others, mentored and helped educate me and many others about the specific national security threat of a totalitarian religion and its subversion of our government and our culture. I was long retired from the FBI when I came to learn of the subversion of FBI training at the FBI academy at Quantico, Virginia by the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which is linked to Hamas through various support networks. The “enemies within,” some of whom Phil Haney discusses in his book, which is linked at the conclusion of this article, aided and abetted this subversion. I was curious and motivated to learn as much as I could, which eventually would lead me to Phil Haney in 2019, one year prior to his death.
In pondering what might be done to commemorate his passing five years ago:
In 2019, I conducted a two-part video interview with Phil, videos that were first published on the one-year anniversary of his death. I would again like to share these interviews.
Day 1 of a 2-day interview — July, 2019:
Day 2 of 2-day interview — July 2019:
Maybe someone in our national security apparatus will watch and also learn of the enemies within, who went after Phil and others with a vengeance for doing his job of trying to protect American citizens.
Ever since the September 11, 2001 jihadist attacks on the World Trade Center Twin Towers, there has been a concerted effort to propagandize and influence the American people, as well as the country’s national security apparatus, with false narratives (lies) by a self-proclaimed enemy of Western Civilization: the Muslim Brotherhood. There are those who would argue that the effort has been ongoing for much longer than 25 years, and I agree; this effort was just ramped up after 9/11 and further increased circa 2011/2012. This effort has, unfortunately, been largely successful to date. We in the West have chosen blinders over fact and reality.
One brief example of a false narrative would be by the highly and successfully influenced government media complex describing the 9/11 attacks as a “horrible event” or “the tragedy of 9/11,” or just as, “9/11.” “Event”? “Tragedy”? What was this “event” or “tragedy”? What happened on September 11, 2001? Who brought the “event” about, and why? Who were those that purposely hijacked the passenger jets and purposely drove them into the Twin Towers? What motivated them? As Philip Haney might say, when we avert our eyes away from the ugly truth about what happened and why on September 11, 2001, we diminish the memories of over 3000 people who died that day. How are those who were born after this date supposed to know the truth of what happened on that date? This cancelation and cover-up of truth, by our own, is the tragedy.
If constantly bombarded with a repeated narrative, even well-meaning media and charitable foundations fall into the same pattern of using leftist preordained words or omitting words to cover up reality. Lies of omission are still lies. Those of us here in the West who, wittingly or unwittingly, use and repeat these narratives are participating in the lie, aiding and abetting the jihadi enemy, and slowly helping in our cultural suicide.
The corruption of words and language is purposeful by the jihadi enemy and their Marxist allies to obscure reality. The use of certain adjectives or qualifiers do not reflect the reality of the religious doctrinal motivations behind jihad. Jihad is specific to Islam. The use of the words “terror” or “terrorism” when discussing Islamic jihad attacks covers up the religious motivations behind jihad, which we refuse to acknowledge.
The September 11, 2001 attacks were Islamic jihad, as were the Hamas attacks against Israel on October 7, 2023, the New Year’s Day New Orleans attack, and many others, obligated by religious doctrine against unbelievers. Jihad need not be violent. It comes also in what is known as stealth or soft jihad. Jihad of the pen and tongue (lies) to influence and help subvert the enemy from within — the non-Islamic world, Western Civilization. Taqiyya (lying by commission), is also religiously obligated and/or allowed if it is used to protect or advance Islam. This doctrine comes from sura (chapter) 3:28 of the Qur’an. Is not deception a part of warfare?
The religious obligation of jihad is spelled out in the Reliance of the Traveller: A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law, Book O, o9.O, pages 599 through o9.9, page 603. In part, “jihad means to war against non-Muslims.” In this section is set forth the scriptural basis for jihad, “such Qur’anic verses as: (1) 2:216; “fighting is prescribed for you; (2) 4:89, “slay them wherever you find them”; and (3) 9:36, “fight the idolaters utterly.”
Therefore, Muslims who choose to be observant and “devout” to their own doctrine are not “radical” or “extreme”; they are mainstream, or orthodox. Jihadis have not corrupted a religion. Jihadis are practicing their religion. Jihad, then, is not an aberration. In regard to jihad, there is one and only one version of Islam. Islam is what the doctrine, via Allah, Muhammad, Reliance, etc, says it is. Islam is not what we in the West, in our ignorance, naivety, and arrogance, say it is or what we wish it to be.
All Muslims do not adhere to or practice the religious obligations of jihad. This fact, however, does not change, negate, or abrogate the words of the doctrine itself. If peaceful Muslims choose not to follow the obligations of jihad, that does not mean there is another version of Islam.
The Hamas Covenant with Allah, the Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement, in part, reads as follows: “’Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it’ (The Martyr, Iman Hassan al-Banna, of blessed memory).” Al-Banna is the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Further, Article One of the Covenant states as follows: “The Islamic Resistance Movement: The Movement’s programme is Islam.”
See Phil Haney’s book: “See Something, Say Nothing; A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government’s Submission to Jihad.”
Let us not avert our eyes away from Philip Haney and his message. Let us not diminish his memory.

It is past time to undo the damage to intelligence analysis caused by Obama’s censorship of discussion and obstruction of any investigation into the reality of Islamic terrorism. All of the Muslim Brotherhood moles must be purged and investigated.
rubiconcrest says
Thank you for reminding us David … I have his book, saw every interview I could find and would have purchased his second.
Two questions I have:
Does anyone know what happened to his second manuscript?
Was the investigation of his death a cover up?
‘Jihad is specific to Islam’ … that is such an important point and it needs repeating. The word should only be used in connection with Islam. Some have used it in connection to other struggles or fights but this is wrong. I once wrote Bill O’Reilly chastising him for doing it.
David J. Baldovin says
Thanks rubiconcrest. I do not know whatever might have happened to the manuscript to which you refer. What we lack regarding Phil’s death is hard and specific evidence that he was murdered. I still wonder myself even though there is a suicide note. I therefore cannot comment on whether there was a coverup or not because of course I do not know.
Tony says
Jihad is obligatory to EVERY Muslim. Jihad means warfare against Non-Muslims to ESTABLISH THE RELIGION, ISLAM(Quran 9:29; Muslim Law Manual – “Reliance of the Traveller”, o9.0 and more).
Billy says
Incredible Patriot!
Islam and its Muslims fund, promote, and practice bigotry, discrimination, deceit, supremacy, segregation, violence, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Quran, and Muslim actions should be legally challenged with a multi-faceted force of Western Laws like Muslims wield against Americans and Westerners. Like a Foreign Terrorist Organization(FTO) designated by the USA Secretary of State, Islam is a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION(MTO) fighting against Non-Muslims and NOT A PEACEFUL religion under Western Law because Islam funds, teaches, and promotes a Terrorist, Criminal Organization with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah. Under Islamic Law, it is a Crime against Allah for Muslims to neglect performing Terrorism against Non-Muslimst; Jihad means warfare against Non-Muslims to ESTABLISH THE RELIGION, ISLAM(Quran 9:29; Muslim Law Manual – “Reliance of the Traveller”, o9.0 and more). More specifically, Islam is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Murderous, Criminal Enterprise of intolerance, continuous war, discrimination, segregation, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, propaganda, deceit, hatred, incitement, sedition, rape, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran(Quran 2:216; 4:89,95; 8:12,39,74; 9:5, 21, 29, 36, 41, 49, 88, 111, 123; 21:92; 49:15 and more).
ME Infidel says
There is no question in my mind Haney was murdered. It’s just a matter of finding out who gave the order.
E T says
Yes, he deserves so much more —I loved Phil, he was one of my few GREAT heroes — he loved his country.
Edith Weberbauer says
He was happy and about to be married. I therefore don’t think that he committed suicide. RIP Philip. You educated many people.
somehistory says
Criminally, evilly, Mr. Haney was murdered. They tried in other ways to silence him, but he wouldn’t be silenced. So, they murdered him and pretended it was suicide.
bo is a mozlum. That’s why he stopped the trials of cair and other mozlums connected to terror.
bo’s goal was to “fundamentally transform” America into a mozlum country, as he said it was “one of the largest” mozlum nations in the world.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
You are correct.
Phil Haney’s next book was going to go into the “deep swamp” and was going to “name names.”
In my opinion, that’s why he was murdered.
No way was this a suicide.
No way…
somehistory says
Thank you, James. No way…he had too much going for him and he was not a quitter.
E T says
“The future must not belong to those who slander the profit of Islam”
“The sweetest sound I know is the Muslim call to prayer”
“ Islam has always been part of America”
“As a student of History, I also know civilization1’s debt to Islam”
“I made it clear that America is not — and never will be at war with Islam”
“Islam is not part of the problem in combating extremism — it is an important part of promoting peace”
President Obama
“In ancient times and in our times the Muslim communities, have been at the forefront of innovation and education”
“ Throughout history Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious TOLERANCE and racial EQUALITY “
“The holy Koran tells us, O mankind! We have created you male and female; and we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another”
somehistory says
E.T., those are all just as sickening to read now as when the lying bo ghoul said them.
E T says
Yes. I can still see his smirk, sniff sniff smirk.
somehistory says
I would show him the sole of my shoes and vomit on his. He makes me sick and angry all at the same time.
Raymond Griffin says
No doubt in my mind was shot and killed by either a Gunman from the those from the Islamic Faith from the Obama group or FBI.
E T says
Hmmm door #1, or door #2 or it could be #3 or a combination I still think of the minister I met in Georgia when someone was running for President. He said he prayed he would not be elected, thought he was the anti-Christ.
somehistory says
Mr. Haney was so very right about the “killing of our own children.” When people can do that, and not even think about what they are doing, they are lost souls; and can’t see the danger they are in.
And if the people in control of the government didn’t want mozlums to gain power, using/abusing the Freedoms, along with the implementation of their own lawless rules, they could use the Constitution to put an end to this conquering by the islime armies.
somehistory says
Thank you, Mr. Baldovin, for giving us more information on such a brave and honest man.
Major Tom says
He was murdered……..RIP……
Captain Quirk says
@Mr. Baldovin: you write: ‘Lies of omission are still lies.’ This makes me think of the confiteor: ‘Confiteor deo omnipotenti et vobis fratres quia peccavi nimis, cogitatione, verbo, opere et ommissione’.
Jean Anderson says
I am amazed at the “dumbness” of the American People, and Traitors within our government. The fact that TRUMP is now investigating ALL of the government’s BIG Alphabets, is a good thing.
somehistory says
To be correct, you might say *some* American people. Not all are “dumb.”
And really, just as is happening…still….in other nations, the average citizen can’t do much even when that one is aware of the corruption.
Jean Anderson says
I agree. Should have states “Some or Many…..Thanks…
