How close was presumed killer Omar Mateen to the bizarre world of Washington politics?

Close enough to raise your hackles about what is really going on.

Mateen’s father, Seddique Mateen, apparently visits the Capitol frequently, take pictures in front of the State Department and White House press room, and likes to pose with Congressmen, especially from the Foreign Affairs Committee.

There are also rumors, though they are unconfirmed, that Seddique Mateen has also met with President Obama.

His activity at the State Department and Foreign Affairs Committee also suggest possible liaisons with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and current Secretary of State John Kerry, along with other U.S. politicians.

Picture of him were posted to his Facebook account:

Seddique is currently running for president in Afghanistan, and has been lobbying for State Department backing in what would be a tense balance between support for the Taliban and U.S. alike. He also broadcasts a TV show in California that feature his political views and campaign material.

It is father Seddique who planted the story in the media that Mateen was driven to kill after becoming upset at seeing two men kissing in Miami – framing the issue in terms of hate crimes and politically-loaded groups in conflict:

“We were in Downtown Miami, Bayside, people were playing music, and he saw two men kissing each other in front of his wife and kid and he got very angry. They were kissing each other and touching each other and he said, ‘Look at that. In front of my son they are doing that.’ And they we were in the men’s bathroom and men were kissing each other.”

Given that his son was a long-time security contractor at G4S in conjunction with Homeland Security and FEMA government contracts before he apparently pledged loyalty to ISIS and shot up a gay nightclub, there are many questions about the penetration of security inside the U.S. by radical Islamic, foreign and/or ISIS elements.

Patrick Henningsen at 21st Century Wire identified him as a CIA asset in Afghanistan:

FACT: The father of this shooter is very well-connected. Too well-connected for this event’s narrative to considered ‘normal.’ [Seddique Mateen is] an absolutely ideal profile for a Washington-managed, CIA controlled-opposition political candidate….

He also cites Daniel Hopsicker’s interesting addition – that the members of Congress that Mateen has been meeting with are also connected to intelligence activities involving Afghanistan… and so is the media channel:

My own suspicion was first awakened on Monday morning when U.S. news outlets uniformly reported that the father’s TV show aired on a “U.S.-based Afghan satellite channel.” The name of the nameless Afghan satellite channel, Payam Afghan, is said to be widely-known in Southwest Asia as a CIA-Pakistani ISI construct, as this picture from Flicker shows. Pictured below is Seddique Mateen with California Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher.

Rohrabacher (R-CA) was initially elected to Congress in 1988, with the fundraising help of friend Oliver North. Rohrabacher’s decades-long involvement in “all things Afghan” eventually earned him the nickname “Gunga Dana.” Today he chairs the United States House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia and Emerging Threats.

Mateen was also pictured with Rep. Ed Royce, Chairman of the United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Clearly, there is something very weird up with this mass shooting story… it doesn’t make sense, and the figures involved appear very tied to intelligence networks and security activities.

While the American people at large must endure extra security checks at airports and a growing police state that warrants them with suspicion and contempt, Muslim assets with questionable ties and motives are inside the security system that was set-up in response to 9/11 to stop terrorists and lone wolf attacks.

Ironic, or infiltration by design?

Perhaps there is more to Mateen as well, as his entire story pieces together a very convenient narrative, and his history as an actor raises questions as to the legitimacy of his identity to begin with. Is he a 21st Century Oswald-cutout-style patsy to fit the homegrown ISIS terror plot that the feds wish to advance?

The official story does not check out, so there is clearly some other explanation.
