Florida Airport Shooter Was Convert To Islam, Called Himself Aashiq Hammad Before Joining U.S. Army
Fort Lauderdale Airport Shooter Converted to Islam, Identified as Aashiq Hammad Years Before Joining Army.
Fort Lauderdale Airport Shooter Converted to Islam, Identified as Aashiq Hammad Years Before Joining Army
EDITOR’S NOTE: When the corrupt liberal media thought the Fort Lauderdale shooter was a vet suffering from PTSD, or a nut case from the psych ward, it was front page news all day and night. But the second word got out that he didn’t have PTSD and wasn’t crazy but was in fact a convert to Islam, they dropped the story like a hot potato.
The Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooter is a Muslim convert who years before joining the U.S. Army took on an Islamic name (Aashiq Hammad), downloaded terrorist propaganda and recorded Islamic religious music online, according to public records dug up by the investigative news site of an award-winning, California journalist. This is pertinent information that the Obama administration apparently wants to keep quiet, bringing up memories of the Benghazi cover up, in which the president and his cohorts knowingly lied to conceal that Islamic terrorists attacked the U.S. Special Mission in Libya.
Information is slowly trickling out that links the Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooter to radical Islam while the official story from authorities is that the gunman is a mentally ill, Hispanic Army veteran named Esteban Santiago that became unhinged after a tour in Iraq. Only one mainstream media outlet mentions the possibility of Santiago’s “jihadist identity,” burying it in a piece about New York possibly being his initial target. A paragraph deep in the story mentions that investigators recovered Santiago’s computer from a pawn shop and the FBI is examining it to determine whether he created a “jihadist identity for himself using the name Aashiq Hammad…” The rest of the traditional mainstream media coverage promotes the government rhetoric that omits any ties to terrorism even though early on a photo surfaced of Santiago making an ISIS salute while wearing a keffiyeh, a Palestinian Arab scarf.
The public records uncovered in the days after the massacre suggest Santiago (Hammad) is a radical Islamic terrorist that’s seriously committed to Islam. Besides taking on a Muslim name, he recorded three Islamic religious songs, including the Muslim declaration faith (“there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger”) known as the Shahada. He also posted a thread about downloading propaganda videos from Islamic terrorists on a weapons and explosives forum. The investigative news site that unearthed this disturbing information connected the dots between Santiago, who is of Puerto Rican descent, and Hammad, an identity he created in 2007.
This week a prominent Ft. Lauderdale businessman and longtime resident addressed a letter to the city’s mayor and commissioners blasting county and federal officials for covering up that “Aashiq Hammad, not Esteban Santiago, attacked our city and county.” The businessman, respected Ft. Lauderdale real estate entrepreneur Jim Morlock, specifically names Broward County’s elected sheriff Scott Israel, Florida senator Bill Nelson, the first to identify Santiago as the shooter on national television, and congressman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, ousted last summer as Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair over a scandalous plot to damage Bernie Sanders during the primary.
“Since when does a US Senator (Bill Nelson), not law enforcement, be the one to so quickly release this terrorist’s Hispanic name but nothing about his more relevant Islamic background?” the letter asks. Obama must have told Sen. Nelson to keep this from looking like a Muslim Terrorist attack during the last 12 days of his watch. Bad for his legacy.” Morlock goes on to state that it’s “better to portray this atrocity as white Hispanic Alaskan mental Iraq war vet gun violence.” The real estate entrepreneur proceeds to reveal that Santiago lives in walking distance to the only mosque in Alaska, was radicalized before he entered the military and was knowingly allowed to serve despite his Islamic sympathies thanks to “Obama’s PC military.”
The letter poses interesting questions, including why this Muslim terrorist chose Ft. Lauderdale out of all the nation’s airports and who Santiago knows in Broward county, which has a large and growing Islamic community. In 2015 Judicial Watch obtained records from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) that show and Al Qaeda terrorist who helped plan several U.S. attacks lived in Broward County and graduated from the local community college with a degree in computer engineering. His name is Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, but he also had a Hispanic identity, Javier Robles, and for years he appeared on the FBI’s most wanted list. Back in 2012 Judicial Watch reported on a terrorist front group’s demands that Broward County public schools close twice a year to celebrate Islamic holy days, illustrating the influence that Muslims have in the region. source

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: The Rise Of Christian Deliverance Ministries Has Turned Demons, Curses And Manifestations Into A Thriving Business Model
The Rise Of Christian Deliverance Ministries Has Turned Demons, Curses And Manifestations Into A Movement—But Is It Biblical Warfare Or A Charismatic Counterfeit?
The explosion of so-called Christian Deliverance Ministries has created an entire charismatic industry built around the idea that born-again believers can remain inhabited by demons, bound by generational curses and dependent upon specially “anointed” apostles and prophets to set them free. From Kathryn Krick and Greg Locke to Prophet GeorDavie and countless social-media imitators, the formula is remarkably similar: dramatic manifestations, screaming, shaking, falling, claims of hidden spirits, supernatural impartations and repeated deliverance sessions presented as evidence that God is moving. But spectacle is not Scripture, and manifestation is not doctrine. The apostle Paul never once instructs a member of the Body of Christ to locate a demon of lust, rejection, anger or addiction and have it cast out. Instead, Paul tells the saved believer that he has been sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, that his body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, and that God “hath delivered us from the power of darkness.” That creates a massive problem for a movement whose entire ministry model depends upon convincing Christians that darkness is still living inside them.
“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:” Colossians 1:13 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the more closely you compare modern Deliverance Ministry theology with Pauline doctrine, the more the whole system begins to unravel. Paul does not tell Christians to cast out their flesh; he tells them to mortify it. He does not tell Christians to seek an apostle with a greater anointing; he tells them to put on the whole armour of God and stand against the wiles of the Devil. He does not teach generational demon bondage, spiritual “legal rights,” endless impartations or recurring deliverance appointments. What he does warn about are “seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils,” false apostles and religious counterfeits masquerading as ministers of righteousness. Satan is real, devils are real and spiritual warfare is absolutely real—but none of that gives us permission to invent doctrine God never gave the Church. Before accepting the screaming, the manifestations and the testimonies, there remains one devastating question every Deliverance Minister must answer from the King James Bible: Show me where Paul taught the Church to do this. Today we tell you everything you need to know about the modern-day Deliverance Movement.

The Three Musketeers Of Islam: Saudi Arabia, Turkey And Pakistan Are Building A Military Alliance That Will Soon Find Itself Standing Against Israel And Jerusalem
The Three Musketeers Of Islam: Saudi Arabia, Turkey And Pakistan Are Building A Military Alliance That Will Soon Find Itself Standing Against Israel And Jerusalem
The Telegraph has dubbed the emerging partnership between Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan “The Three Musketeers”, invoking the famous slogan “all for one, one for all,” and there is something almost darkly humorous about the comparison. On the surface, this is being presented as another strategic defense arrangement designed to strengthen regional security in an increasingly unstable world. But when you look at the three nations involved, the military power they represent, their relationship to the Islamic world, and their individual attitudes toward the Jewish state, it becomes increasingly difficult to imagine that Israel will not eventually become one of the primary objects of this alliance.
“For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.” Psalm 83:2 (KJB)
Saudi Arabia brings staggering financial power, enormous influence over the global energy markets and, perhaps most significantly, its position as guardian of Mecca and Medina, the two holiest cities in Islam. Turkey brings one of the largest and most capable military forces in the Muslim world, a rapidly expanding defense industry, advanced drones and missile technology, and a government under Recep Tayyip Erdoğan that has become increasingly hostile toward Israel. Pakistan brings a massive standing army and something that neither Saudi Arabia nor Turkey presently possesses: nuclear weapons. When you combine Saudi money, Turkish military capability and Pakistani nuclear power inside a developing Islamic security structure, you are no longer talking about a meaningless diplomatic photo opportunity. You are looking at the beginnings of a military bloc that has the potential to become enormously consequential, and prophetically deadly.
The leaders involved may insist today that their partnership is defensive, that it is not directed against any particular country and that its purpose is merely to protect their mutual interests. That is precisely the sort of language governments use when military alliances are being assembled. Alliances are rarely formed by announcing on the first day who the eventual enemy will be. Instead, nations construct the framework, establish military cooperation, conduct joint exercises, coordinate intelligence, share weapons technology and build the political relationships necessary for collective action. Then a crisis comes along and reveals what the structure was really capable of becoming. In the Middle East, the crisis that eventually forces everyone to choose a side has a remarkable way of coming back to the same place over and over again: Israel and Jerusalem.
Turkey has already traveled a considerable distance down that road. Erdoğan has spent years positioning himself as one of the loudest defenders of the Palestinian cause while his government’s relationship with Israel has deteriorated dramatically. Pakistan has never recognized the State of Israel at all, and opposition to Israel remains deeply embedded in its political and religious establishment. Saudi Arabia is the most fascinating member of this emerging trio because the kingdom has spent years appearing to move closer to possible normalization with Israel while simultaneously attempting to preserve its leadership position in the Islamic world. The Abraham Accords opened the possibility of an entirely new Middle Eastern security architecture centered around normalization with the Jewish state, and for years Saudi Arabia has been viewed as the ultimate prize of that process. Now Riyadh is simultaneously drawing closer militarily to Turkey and nuclear-armed Pakistan.
That tension cannot continue indefinitely, and Saudi Arabia cannot permanently occupy two geopolitical worlds if those worlds eventually collide. It can pursue commercial cooperation and diplomatic engagement with Israel while regional conditions remain relatively stable, but when the next major confrontation erupts over Gaza, Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, Iran, Lebanon, Syria or some crisis that has not yet appeared on the horizon, Riyadh may find itself forced to decide where its deepest loyalties actually reside. Saudi Arabia is not simply another Arab nation. It occupies a unique position within Islam itself, and the pressure upon the kingdom to stand with the Muslim world against Israel during a sufficiently explosive regional crisis would be tremendous.
That is why I believe the eventual direction of these “Three Musketeers” isn’t overly difficult to see. Turkey is already openly antagonistic toward Israel, Pakistan refuses even to recognize Israel’s existence, and Saudi Arabia is binding itself more closely to both countries militarily. Whatever cordial diplomatic language accompanies the arrangement today, this is a coalition being constructed from nations whose long-term interests and religious identity place them on a collision course with the Jewish state.
This is also where we have to rightly divide the prophetic scriptures and avoid one of the most common errors in modern prophecy teaching. This is not Ezekiel 38. Ezekiel 38 does not describe some Russian, Turkish, Iranian or Muslim coalition attacking modern-day Israel before the Tribulation or during the Church Age. The battle in Ezekiel 38 takes place after the thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ, when Satan is loosed from his prison and goes out to deceive the nations once again, exactly as Revelation 20:7–9 describes. Israel at that time is completely regathered and dwelling safely in unwalled villages without bars or gates because the Prince of Peace Himself has been ruling the earth from Jerusalem for a thousand years. Trying to squeeze today’s Middle Eastern alliances into Ezekiel 38 completely destroys the biblical timeline.
Ezekiel 39 is another matter entirely. Ezekiel 39 describes the great slaughter connected with the Battle of Armageddon at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, corresponding with the scene presented in Revelation 19. The fowls and beasts being summoned to feast upon the slain, the enormous burial operation lasting seven months, the cleansing of the land and the seven years of burning the weapons all belong on the front side of the Millennium, not at the end of it. Ezekiel 39 and Revelation 19 belong together; Ezekiel 38 and Revelation 20 belong together. Those are two entirely different wars separated by at least one thousand years, and confusing them creates an enormous amount of unnecessary prophetic confusion. Understanding that distinction actually makes the present Saudi-Turkish-Pakistani alliance more interesting, not less. The Bible clearly shows that before Jesus Christ returns at the Second Advent, the nations of this world will be increasingly consumed with the controversy surrounding Israel and Jerusalem. The present-day rearrangement of military alliances throughout the Middle East is part of the world being prepared for the events that will ultimately culminate in the Time of Jacob’s Trouble and the Battle of Armageddon described in Revelation 19 and Ezekiel 39.
“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:3 (KJB)
There is the destination toward which the nations are moving. Jerusalem becomes the burdensome stone, and the nations eventually gather themselves against it. Bible prophecy has already shown us the ultimate disposition of the Gentile nations toward Jerusalem, and therefore we should pay very close attention when powerful Islamic countries begin organizing themselves into new military structures capable of acting collectively.
Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan are three very different nations with different political systems, strategic interests and regional priorities, yet Islam provides them with a powerful common identity and Israel provides them with an increasingly obvious common point of tension. Saudi Arabia possesses the money and religious prestige, Turkey possesses tremendous conventional military capability, and Pakistan possesses the Islamic world’s nuclear arsenal. Put those things together and you have the makings of a bloc that could exert tremendous pressure upon Israel when circumstances demand it.
For Saudi Arabia, that moment may ultimately involve choosing between continued rapprochement with Israel through the Abraham Accords and solidarity with an Islamic military bloc built around Ankara and Islamabad. I do not believe Saudi Arabia will ultimately choose Israel when that decision becomes unavoidable. Whatever temporary normalization arrangements may emerge along the way, the prophetic trajectory of the Middle East is not toward the nations embracing Jerusalem and the Jewish people. It is toward increasing pressure, increasing isolation and eventually the gathering of the nations against the land God gave to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The Telegraph can call them the Three Musketeers and make the story sound almost whimsical, but there is nothing whimsical about an alliance connecting Saudi Arabia, Turkey and nuclear-armed Pakistan. These are three heavyweight Islamic powers creating a framework for collective military action at a moment when the Middle East is being rapidly rearranged and Israel is becoming increasingly isolated. I believe that sooner rather than later, the same leaders who today insist that this new arrangement is aimed at no particular country will find themselves confronted with the Israel question, and when that happens, there should be very little doubt which direction this alliance will move. The military architecture is being constructed now, the crisis that activates it will come later. When it does, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan will not be standing shoulder to shoulder in defense of the Jewish state. They will be standing on the other side as the Bible so clearly declares.

The Trump Superstore Is Closing Because The People Have Stopped Coming, And It’s The Perfect Metaphor For His Rapidly Collapsing MAGA Presidency
As Trump’s Poll Numbers Collapse And MAGA Voters Walk Away, The Shuttering Trump Superstore Becomes The Perfect Metaphor For A Presidency Built On Broken Promises
Sometimes a single photograph tells the entire story. Standing beside Interstate 40 in Tennessee is a giant red banner announcing that the Trump Superstore is “GOING OUT OF BUSINESS,” with everything marked down 50 percent. It is more than the closing of another roadside novelty shop, far from it. It’s the Trump presidency in one brutally honest picture. Our 16th president Abraham Lincoln is credited with saying “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time”. Trump’s ‘moment in the sun’ appears to be darkening into night, and that’s bad news for the American people as our national ship becomes rudderless.
“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.” Psalm 146:3 (KJB)
For two years, the Trump Superstore operated as a roadside shrine to the MAGA movement, overflowing with Trump hats, Trump flags, Trump shirts, Trump statues and seemingly every imaginable product capable of carrying the Trump name. During the movement’s high-water mark, people were reportedly lined up outside the door. Today, the merchandise is sitting unwanted on the shelves while the owner desperately attempts to liquidate it.
Owner Bill Hays finally admitted that the store is closing because of a “lack of business.” His employee was even more direct: “We’re not busy anymore.” He described Trump’s popularity as “dwindling, dwindling, dwindling.” That isn’t some fake news Democratic propaganda or liberal media speculation. That assessment came from inside the Trump Superstore itself. The Trump brand is now on clearance, and that makes this store the perfect metaphor for the rapidly collapsing Trump presidency.
You can safely put this on the list of Trump statements that will never happen, like when he said he was going to arrest Obama, expose the truth about the 2020 stolen election, the Epstein List, the drones over NJ, taking control of Greenland, and winning the war with Iran.… pic.twitter.com/SxsMn3fTeL
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) August 18, 2026
The latest Reuters/Ipsos polling places Trump’s approval rating at just 33 percent, with 64 percent disapproving. That is the lowest rating of his current presidency and ties the lowest Ipsos rating of his first term. He returned to Washington with nearly half the country approving of him; now only one-third remains. Even Republican support is cracking: recent Economist/YouGov polling placed his approval among Republicans at 79 percent, down 12 points from January 2025, while those who “strongly approve” have fallen from 68 percent to 48 percent. Those numbers are not collapsing because Americans suddenly developed an aversion to red hats. They are collapsing because millions of people who voted for Trump are discovering that slogans do not pay electric bills, campaign rallies do not fill grocery carts, and promises of prosperity do not lower the price displayed on the gasoline pump.
As of August 18, the national average for regular gasoline is approximately $4.07 per gallon—nearly 93 cents higher than one year ago.
Grocery prices remain painfully elevated as well. The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics report shows food-at-home prices rising another 2.7 percent over the previous year, with fruits and vegetables up 5.1 percent and nonalcoholic beverages up 4.1 percent. Overall consumer prices are 3.4 percent higher. AP-NORC found that 41 percent of American adults are extremely or very concerned about affording groceries, while most households report changing how they shop—buying generic products, abandoning certain items and cutting restaurant spending simply to cover basic necessities. That is the political reality behind the empty Trump Superstore.
MAGA voters were promised lower prices, cheap energy, restored prosperity and an end to endless foreign wars. Instead, they received four-dollar gasoline, stubbornly expensive groceries, another widening Middle Eastern conflict and a president who increasingly seems unable—or unwilling—to understand why his own supporters are angry. People did not buy Trump merchandise merely because they needed another polyester shirt. They bought it because it represented something. It was a declaration of faith in the political promise that Trump would restore the country, drain the swamp, break the globalist system and put the forgotten American worker first. But when belief in the promise disappears, the merchandise becomes clutter.
A $30 Trump hat looks considerably less attractive when gasoline costs more than $4 per gallon. A Trump flag becomes difficult to justify when the grocery bill keeps climbing. A gold-painted Trump statue becomes an absurd luxury when working families are deciding whether to purchase food or place the electric bill on a credit card. The Trump Superstore did not run out of Trump merchandise. It ran out of people willing to believe that owning it still meant something.
There is also a spiritual lesson here for Bible believers. Far too many Christians transformed Donald Trump from a political candidate into some sort of messianic personality. MAGA rallies began resembling religious revivals, political slogans displaced biblical discernment, and any criticism of Trump was treated as an act of apostasy. But Donald Trump is not Jesus Christ. MAGA is not the Church. America is not Israel, and no occupant of the White House can save a nation that has rejected the Book, the blood and the blessed hope.
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 19:2 (KJB)
The Bible warns us plainly, but millions preferred the red hat to the old Book. Now the political merchandise is gathering dust and the movement built around it is discovering that personality cults cannot indefinitely survive broken promises and economic pain. This is not an endorsement of the Democrats, whose godless agenda remains every bit as wicked and destructive as it has always been. It is a warning against turning any politician into a saviour and then refusing to acknowledge reality when his promises collapse. The giant “GOING OUT OF BUSINESS” banner outside the Trump Superstore could just as easily be hanging over the Trump presidency. The excitement is disappearing, the crowds are shrinking, even Republican loyalty is weakening. The polling is collapsing, and the merchandise that once symbolized a political revolution is being dumped at half price.
Trump successfully sold MAGA America a golden age, but it turned out to be a golden age bill of goods. . What his supporters received were higher bills, expensive gasoline, costly groceries and another war. Now they are walking away from the merchandise because they are walking away from the illusion. The Trump Superstore is closing because the customers have disappeared. Unless something changes dramatically, history may record that its massive liquidation banner became the perfect political obituary for the rapidly failing Trump presidency:
GOING OUT OF BUSINESS—EVERYTHING MUST GO. BYE, BYE, MISS AMERICAN PIE.
