The Muslim Brotherhood has spent its modern life to subvert and overturn U.S. constitutional laws and democratic governance through its strong base of front organizations, allies, and use of our liberal values to unravel our society from within. These goals were discovered in 1991 when the DOJ discovered the Brotherhood’s ultimate plan for America which included the line: “The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ with all the word means. The [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers…”“[W]e must possess a mastery of the art of ‘coalitions’, the art of ‘absorption’ and the principles of ‘cooperation.’” Through groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations, our speech and freedom to dialogue has been severely limited and put our nation in grave danger of further subversions of democracy. Yet we continue to allow unfettered financing of Brotherhood-tied organizations and front groups that goes straight to the jihadists who have convinced US officials their “non-violent” methods are the “lesser of jihadist evils.” I will discuss the danger of allowing Brotherhood entities to go unchecked in an age where our attention is on US politics and ISIS and discuss the importance of labeling the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization.

After his next promotion to the Detective Sergeant rank, Andy was again assigned to the Intelligence Bureau where he oversaw the Hate Crime Unit and VIP Squad.

These covert investigations led to the first conviction under Canada’s new Terrorism laws.

In 2013, as a result of Andy’s experience and successes, he was selected to orchestrate the research, development and implementation of the new Toronto Police Service Operations Centre (TPOC).

This role involved the development of efficiencies by creating a centralized Operations Centre which enhanced the strategic and operational decision making processes through:

• the use of state of the art technology to support business operations and service continuity ranging from everyday incidents, major events, and through to incident command in response to catastrophic events.
• development of the Rapid Response Plan that utilized all of the Services assets in a formalized command and specific organized structure that could immediately respond to any major incident within the City.
• creation of a plan to have Law Enforcement and private sector agencies join in formal partnerships to work together in a coordinated effort to safeguard our Communities.

Andy is presently assigned as the Detective Staff Sergeant in charge of the Major Crime Units while still acting as the Project Lead and subject matter expert for the TPOC.
