===On the Obama Administration===
====On the administration's alleged ties with islamists====
Gaffney is the man behind the rumour about Obama's birth certificate. In an article for the Washington Times in 2008, he wrote: 'another question yet to be resolved is whether Mr. Obama is a natural born citizen of the United States. [...] Curiously, Mr. Obama has, to date, failed to provide an authentic birth certificate.' He continued the accusations by claiming that 'the latest indication [is] that the Democratic candidate [Obama] hopes to win the White House by relying, in part, on the Jihadist vote.' He warned that 'between $30 million and $100 million' of the money Obama had raised in small donations, not requiring donor disclosure, came from places where 'Islamists are active.' However, according to the Federal Election Commission, 'Foreign nationals are prohibited from making any contributions or expenditures' in U.S. elections. Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists,Southern Poverty Law Center, October 25, 2016. Accessed 07 November 2016. 
In a 2009 Washington Times column, Gaffney wrote: 'With Mr. Obama’s unbelievably ballyhooed address in Cairo … there is mounting evidence that the president not only identifies with Muslims, but actually may still be one himself.' However, his 'evidence' only included the fact that Obama mentioned the 'Holy Koran,' knew some things about Islam, and used the phrase 'peace be upon them' when mentioning Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. In the same column, he asserted that Obama 'ha[d] aligned himself with adherents to what authoritative Islam calls Shariah — notably, the dangerous global movement known as the Muslim Brotherhood.'
Writing for Mondoweiss in September 2010, Gaffney reiterated his accusations:
:I think this administration has exhibited a sympathy -- and the president particularly -- for the agenda of folks who are in fact, under one front organization or the other of the Muslim Brotherhood, seeking to promote Sharia in America.Paul Woodward, The advance of the anti-Muslim movement across America, Mondoweiss, 17 September 2010
Indeed, Gaffney has repeatedly made claims that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the government and, without any evidence , that Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin serves the group. In 2011 he accused prominent conservatives Grover Norquist and Suhail Kahn, who directed Muslim outreach efforts for the Bush White House, of infiltrating the government for the Muslim Brotherhood. As a result, he was temporarily banned by the Conservative Political Action Conference, run by the American Conservative Union, on whose board Kahn sat.
On the 12 January 2015, edition of Fox News’ Justice with Judge Jeanine, Gaffney claimed that President Obama is engaged in basically trying to enforce Shariah blasphemy laws and added that 'most of those who are being brought here' (i.e. Muslims) are bringing 'no-go zones' as their 'preferred practice.' The term 'no-go zones' had already been used a few days earlier on the same channel by Steven Emerson, and their existence has been proven false. Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists,Southern Poverty Law Center, October 25, 2016. Accessed 07 November 2016. 
====Obama's 'creeping socialism'====
When the administration put forward a law requiring public assistance agencies to offer voter registration opportunities in November 2013, Gaffney said that Obama was 'promoting creeping socialism,' because '[t]he process lends itself to abuse and fraud. And allies of the President say the goal is to register 68 million, most low-income voters. If successful, expect a permanent majority demanding government handouts — and the end of America as we have known it.' Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists,Southern Poverty Law Center, October 25, 2016. Accessed 07 November 2016. 
===On 'civilization jihad'===
Like many other anti-Islam activists, Gaffney pushes the theory of 'jihad' through 'population replacement'. 'We’re witnessing not just the violent kind of jihad that these Islamists believe God compels them to engage in, but also, where they must for tactical reasons, a more stealthy kind, or civilizational jihad as the Muslim Brotherhood calls it,' Gaffney said in an October 2011 article in Newsmax. 'We’re witnessing that playing out, not only in places in the Middle East but also in Europe, in Australia, in Canada and here in the United States as well.' 
When asked at the 2015 Western Conservative Summit about Somali refugees - most of whom are Muslim - working at meat processing plants in the U.S., Gaffney responded: 'I don’t know about you, but it kind of creeps me out that they are getting jobs in the food supply of the United States.' Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists,Southern Poverty Law Center, October 25, 2016. Accessed 07 November 2016. 
===On the left-wing and Islamist 'alliance'===
In an August 2016 post on his website, Gaffney said: 'Incredibly, this repressive Shariah doctrine is being insinuated into this country not just by Islamists. They are being aided and abetted by some on the political left — a reality made all the more bizarre, and outrageous, given the fact that women, gays and Jews are among the left’s principal constituencies.'

==Career==
===Congressional staffer===
In the late 1970s, Gaffney served as an aide to Senator Henry Jackson in the areas of defence and foreign policy.Frank Gaffney biography, Center for Security Policy, accessed 3 January 2008.He worked closely with Richard Perle.The Men From JINSA and CSP, by Jason Vest, The Nation, 15 August 2002. From February 1981 to August 1983, Gaffney served on the staff of the Senate Armed Services Committee.Frank Gaffney, Right Web, accessed 28 March 2009.
===Reagan administration===
From August 1983 to November 1987, Gaffney served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear Forces and Arms Control Policy under Assistant Secretary Richard Perle.Frank Gaffney, Right Web, accessed 28 March 2009.
In October 1985, Gaffney and Lt. Gen. James Abrahamson, the director of the Strategic Defense Initiative, gave a briefing to delegates from the 16 NATO member states at a session of the North Atlantic Assembly in San Francisco. Gaffney warned that Russia has constructed the necessary radar network to defend the Soviet land mass and was heavily involved in exotic laser and particle beam research in an effort to shield itself totally from a missile attack.Michael Hudson, U.S. experts try to sell European leaders on 'Star Wars', United Press International, 12 October 1985.
Gaffney took part in negotiations which led to Israel joining the Strategic Defense Initiative in May 1986.Richard C. Gross, Washington News, United Press International, 6 May 1986.
In September 1986, Gaffney argued against a complete nuclear test ban in a televised debate with a Soviet diplomat.The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, September 24, 1986.
In a November 1986 roundtable at the Heritage Foundation, Gaffney accused the Soviet Union of violating the ABM Treaty:
::their program of strategic defenses, which we estimate has absorbed 50 percent of Soviet strategic investment over the past several decades, is bearing fruit. There can be no question that the Soviet Union today is less vulnerable to strategic attack than is the United States. And with respect to the ABM Treaty itself, we have seen mounting evidence, some of which Jim Hackett has just alluded to, that the Soviets are prepared even to violate its explicit terms and limitations.
::The implications over time of this sort of asymmetric approach to strategic defense speak for themselves. It poses a real and growing challenge to the security of the United States and indeed to the West as a whole to permit this asymmetric way of defending our people, our societies, and our values to continue as it has since 1972.The "Red Shield" -- Soviet Strategic Defense, Heritage Foundation Reports, 6 November 1986.
In a January 1987 Heritage Foundation lecture, Gaffney argued that the US had a greater need for nuclear testing because it relied on nuclear forces to counter an asymmetric conventional Soviet threat.Why the U.S. Must Test Nuclear Weapons, Heritage Foundation reports, 27 January 1987.
In February 1987, it was reported that Perle planned to resign from the Defense Department and was pushing for Gaffney as his successor.Richard C. Gross, Washington News, United Press International, 3 February 1987. President Reagan nominated Gaffney for the post of assistant secretary of Defense for international security policy on 17 April.Thersea M. Foley, Defense Dept. Backs Down On International Station Demands, Aviation Week and Space Technology, 27 April 1987.
In September 1987, arms control talks in Washington led to friction between the Defense and State departments after Pentagon officials were excluded from plenary sessions.Barry Schweid, Shultz, Shevardnadze Report Progress In Second Day of Arms Talks, Associated Press, 16 September, 1987. Although other Pentagon officials were eventually allowed in, Gaffney remained excluded from the plenaries, which led to an agreement in principle to conclude an arms treaty.RUSSELL WATSON with ROBERT B. CULLEN, THOMAS M. DEFRANK and JOHN BARRY in Washington and STEVEN STRASSER in Moscow, At Long Last an Arms Deal, Newsweek, 28 September 1987.
Gaffney left the Government in November 1987:
::With the retirement of Weinberger last week, Perle's ultimate link to the top was severed. Virtually the instant Weinberger departed and Frank Carlucci arrived, Gaffney was forced out. By midnight Friday, Gaffney's belongings were boxed and he was gone. On the spot, Gaffney called a press conference to express his "worries" about the Reagan administration's eagerness for an arms control agreement.
::Almost immediately, rumors circulated that this was the beginning of a purge of the Perle network at the Pentagon, but Perle himself suggested that the ousting of his allies would run counter to the interests of the new defense secretary. "Frank Carlucci strikes me as too shrewd a bureaucrat to conduct a purge," he said yesterday.Sidney Blumenthal, Richard Perle, Disarmed but Undeterred; His Once Pervasive Power Waning, The Hard-Liner Awaits the Summit, Washington Post, 23 November 1987.
According to one report, Carlucci reportedly ordered Gaffney to resign in an effort to get rid of critics of arms control.The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, November 23, 1987 Another account said Gaffney quit after being told he would not be promoted to Assistant Secretary.Geoffrey Barker, US hardliners out to sabotage the summit, The Advertiser, 24 November 1987. William Safire claimed Gaffney's departure came about "Because he was Weinberger's man on George Shultz's most recent mission to Moscow, and sent a red-hot secret communication to his boss at Defense criticizing the meekness first shown in our reaction to Soviet demands that the summit meeting include a limitation on S.D.I. testing. Our Big Ear alerted Frank Carlucci, Cap's successor at Defense, who showed Mr. Gaffney the door. Senators will soon ask to see the critical cable."William Safire, Secrets of the Summit, New York Times, 6 December 1987.
Gaffney himself said he resigned because of fears that the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty was being negotiated under the deadline of the Reagan-Gorbachev summit meeting due on 7 December.The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, November 24, 1987
After Reagan accused critics of the treaty of accepting the "inevitability of war", Gaffney responded "It is our belief in the avoidability of war that makes us take these issues so seriously. It is our conviction that nuclear weapons, in particular, have been absolutely essential over the past 40 years to preventing war, of any kind."Merril Hartson, 
Reagan Defends INF Treaty as in Best Interests of Nation, Associated Press, 5 December 1987.
Gaffney also questioned the provisions for verification of the treaty:
::``Soviet resistance to meaningful, inclusive, on-site inspection is unabated, he said in an interview. ``The underlying question remains: Did we accede to their resistance to meaningful verification?R. Gregory Nokes, The Sunday Oregonian, The Reagan Amrs Pact, 6 December 1987. 
===Think Tanker===
====American Enterprise Institute====
By February 1988, Gaffney had moved to the American Enterprise Institute.The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, February 22, 1988. That month, he took part in an AEI review of the INF Treaty with Perle, Douglas Feith, Michael Mobbs and Seymour Weiss. Their analysis concluded that effective verification of the agreement was nearly impossible.Insider Analysis of the INF Treaty, Heritage Foundation Reports, February 1988. Also that month, conservative Senator Gordon Humphrey demanded that Perle and Gaffney be included in Senate hearings on the treaty.USA - SENATE HEARINGS ON INF TREATY CONTINUED, Tass, 4 February 1988.
In March 1988, Perle and Gaffney wrote to members of Congress opposing an agreement to allow Japan to obtain plutonium from US nuclear waste.Barry Schweid, Congressional Opponents of U.S.-Japan Pact May Try To Kill it Next Week, Associated Press, 8 March 1988.
====Hudson Institute====
By May 1988, Gaffney had become a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute.The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, 10 May 1988.
In October 1988, Gaffney warned against "the almost naive notion that peace is breaking out all over" because of Soviet peace initiatives.
::"I personally believe it is a very thoughtful, carefully tailored and quite cynical effort (by Moscow) to promote precisely that impression, not just in the United States, but in Germany and rest of the Western world," he said in a telephone interview from Washington, D.C.R. Gregory Nokes, U.S., SOVIETS MAY TOAST A NEW FRIENDSHIP, BUT WILL THAT USHER IN NEW AGE OF WORLD PEACE? The Sunday Oregonian, 2 October 1988.
In December 1988, Gaffney outlined his view of the threats facing the US to the AEI's annual policy conference:
::I think, to a very considerable degree, the ability of a democracy like ours to meet its requirements of a global nature is a direct function of the perception, public popular perception in particular, of the degree to which those interests are threatened. As the perceived threat diminishes, irrespective of the actual threat -- as the perceived threat diminishes, generally speaking so does the priority accorded to resources made available to deal with that threat. And there are two important, hardly exclusive, but two important trends that are at work at the moment that infinitely complicate the task of ensuring the public properly understands the threat, properly perceives the threat. The one which Judy alluded to at the outset is, obviously, the very vigorous campaign being waged with considerable success by Mikhail Gorbachev, aimed at, as Georgi Arbatov let slip recently, denying us an enemy.AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE (AEI) ANNUAL POLICY CONFERENCE "AMERICA IN TRANSITION" PANEL II, Federal News Service, 7 December 1988.
In January 1989, Gaffney criticised the Reagan administration's attempts to negotiate a ban on chemical weapons:
::I think in a world in which we live, not the world necessarily we would like or the world that we could imagine and certainly the world that our negotiators will try to negotiate. We are going to have to have a continuing capability in this country to deter the use of chemical weapons against us and or allies and that means not giving up our own stockpile, modest though it is, of chemical weapons and, in fact, taking modest steps to modernize it.Last Gasp, The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, 11 January 1989.
In a March 1989 Brookings Institute seminar, Gaffney argued that the Soviet Union would continue to seek hegemony on the Eurasian landmass: 
::"It remains to be seen whether we can continue to defeat them in that objective, which I think is vital to our interest as well as that of Western Europe, now that we are facing a more subtle political and military agenda on the part of Mr. Gorbachev and the Soviet leadership. I think the Soviet interests, through arms control, through seduction, through economic entrapment, and other means of obtaining that objective, is unflagging. And we would be very poorly served if lose sight of that."BROOKINGS INSTITUTION SEMINAR ON
"CONVENTIONAL ARMS CONTROL: POLICY ISSUES & PROSPECTS" PANEL DISCUSSION CONCERNING "THE ROLE OF CONVENTIONAL FORCES IN SUPPORTING DETERRENCE & REGIONAL SECURITY" Federal News Service, 29 March 1989.
In May 1989, Gaffney criticised West German opposition to the modernisation of the Lance short range missile.CAN THE US MATCH WITS WITH GORBACHEV IN EUROPE?, Federal News Service, 12 May 1989.A month later, tensions were reported within the Bush administration ahead of strategic arms reduction talks in Geneva:
::The Pentagon's office of international security policy is packed with holdovers from the most hard-line elements of the Reagan administration. Its top civilians in charge of arms control, Mark Schendier and Bob Joseph, are proteges of Richard Perle and Frank Gaffney, the leading arms control hard-liners while Caspar W. Weinberger was Reagan's defense secretary.
::One top Pentagon official said: "We don't have arms controllers in the Department of Defense. We have antiarms controllers."Fred Kaplan, As arms talks approach, the Bush camp is divided; Some aides want caution, others urge bold steps, Boston Globe, 12 June 1989.
In August 1989, Gaffney issued a CSP report calling for a moratorium on trade liberalisation with the Soviet Union, following the launch of an intelligence investigation into Felix S. Bloch, an official at the Stated Department's European Affairs Bureau. The report was endorsed by former government officials William Schneider, Kenneth deGraffenreid and Roger Robinson.Bill Gertz, Probe of Bloch 'cover-up' sought, The Washington Times, 7 August 1989.
In September 1989, Gaffney told the Washington Times that President George H.W. Bush would nominate R. James Woolsey as a strategic arms negotiator in an attempt to reach out to Congressional Democrats. In the same article, Richard Perle said he would not object to the nomination.Peter Almond, New arms negotiator likely to be Democrat, Washington Times, 5 September 1989.
In October, Gaffney noted that Bush officials had adopted a more positive tone towards perestrioka compared to the early months of the administration:
::"The rhetoric was more cautious and more restrained, certainly than it is now. I think the actual policy that was being put into place was more consistent" with the current tone of administration statements, Mr. Gaffney said. He called the latter "a corrective action to bring the rhetoric into line with the policy."Warren Strobel, Soviets convert Bush officials, Washington Times, 26 October 1989.
Gaffney's Center for Security Policy released a position in November, which warned that a December summit would see Gorbachev demanding increased western support while cracking down on democratization at home.
::"Gorbachev is saying that events in the U.S.S.R. and Eastern Europe are making Soviet repression inevitable," Mr. Gaffney said. "Evidently the administration is disposed to view repressive actions as necessary - and by definition, acceptable - evils on the road to reform."Bill Geertz, Some fear Bush could legitimize Soviet repression with meeting, Washington Times, 3 November 1989.
"What worries me is that we've begun to substitute the idea of helping Gorbachev for the idea of promoting change in the Soviet Union," Gaffney told Business Week, in an article which suggested that hardliners in the administration included Dick Cheney and Robert Gates. Bill Javetski and Douglas Harbrecht, Getting Behind Gorby, Business Week, 13 November 1989. He reiterated this view in December, at an AEI policy conference on Arms control, where he spoke alongside Kenneth Adelman, Stephen Hadley and Patrick Glynn.AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE, 13TH ANNUAL POLICY CONFERENCE, Federal News Service, 15 December 1989.
Gaffney was criticial of the outcome of the Malta summit:
::"Mr Bush has precious little to show for his new commitment to a partnership with the Soviets - except the promise of new financial liabilities for US taxpayers in rescuing Moscow's failed economy, a continuing Soviet-sponsored effort to destabilise the Western Himisphere and the looming prospect of a raft of arms control agreements that will be neither carefully prepared, nor effectively verifiable nor in the interest of the US.Martin Walker, Washington warriors still fighting the Cold War: Malta summit euphoria is evaporating, with the US administration deeply split on defence cuts, The Guardian, 8 December 1989.
The Guardian's Martin Walker suggested that such views reflected a conservative constituency that Bush was not strong enough to ignore, and which was represented by administration figures such as Cheney.Martin Walker, Washington warriors still fighting the Cold War: Malta summit euphoria is evaporating, with the US administration deeply split on defence cuts, The Guardian, 8 December 1989.
With the iron curtain crumbling, Gaffney gave his view of what America's response should be in January 1990.
::Very quickly, the key elements of our policy at this point, I think must be to maintain the defense structure that we have, including our Alliance arrangements. I think at least until we see what emerges from this devolving Soviet Union, that is the only appropriate policy. The corollary to that is that we must go slow on arms control, not accelerate it in order to make deals with Gorbachev while he lasts, which appears to be the Bush administration's policy. It's striking that in the Conventional Forces in Europe talks, the CFE talks, the outcome of doing so may well be to give a legitimacy, as Chris mentioned the Helsinki agreement did, to the Soviet presence in Eastern Europe that none of the East Europeans seem to wish to have.CATO INSTITUTE POLICY DEBATE "STRATEGIC DISENGAGEMENT: FOREIGN POLICY IN THE POST COLD WAR ERA", Federal News Service, 17 January 1990.
Later that month, Gaffney said that plans to relax COCOM restrictions would be "a significant infusion of high-technology to the military sector of the Soviet Union".Bill Gertz, U.S. plans to relax control of exports, Washington Times, 23 January 1990. He reiterated the point in March:
::"I'm afraid the biggest beneficiary of all this tech trade will be the Soviet military," says Frank Gaffney, a former deputy assistant Defense secretary. "The guy on the street in Poland won't be buying our computers. He can't even afford a loaf of bread."John Hilkirk, PCs break into East bloc; Open arms for Western technology, USA Today, 7 March 1990.
Gaffney also spoke out against plans for a fibre-optic link with the Soviet Union.
::"A Soviet fiber-optic network will . . . make it infinitely more difficult for the West to monitor Soviet communications, a decisive factor assessing leadership intentions, status of forces and preparations for conflict."Mark Hosenball, Soviet Cable Plan Spurs Fight in US, Washington Post, 15 March 1990.
When an Iraqi weapons procurment programme was broken up in Britain in 1990, Gaffney Commented "There is no doubt these weapons are aimed against Israel. But that's not the only target."
::For Gaffney, the Iraqi successes reveal the control regime's shortcomings more than its failure. "Since we cannot stop the proliferation of missile technology, we should deploy anti-ballistic missile systems" such as the joint U.S.-Israeli "Arrow" project, Brilliant Pebbles (an SDI concept), and a ground-based point defense system, Gaffney argues. "These would be an infinitely more powerful disincentive than MTCR to any government thinking of investing a significant portion of its treasury in acquiring missile technology."The Iraqi Connection: A Mednews Special Report, MedNews - Middle East Defense News, 2 April 1990.
When the USSR cut off supplies to Vilnius following its unilateral declaration of independence, Gaffney said it was a "scam" to believe the USSR would ever let the country go.Warren Strobel, Gorbachev tactics catch U.S. off base, Washington Times, 20 April 1990. "Bush's inability even to impose 'Potemkin' economic sanctions in response to Gorbachev's crackdown on Lithuania amounts to writing a blank check,", he said.Peter Grier, US Stake in Gorbachev's Rule Means No Support for Lithuania, Christian Science Monitor, 27 April 1990.
Following the murder of Dr Gerald Bull, Gaffney suggested Bull's illicit arms trading might have been overlooked:
::"The truth is the administration of export controls from this country is a sometime thing," he said. "When you talk about policing exports from third countries, it's a very erratic thing." But "there is always the possibility we or other countries were looking the other way," he added.MICHAEL WINES with JEFF GERTH, How Physicist's Weapons Genius Led Him to Greed and Then Death, New York Times, 22 April 1990.
In an April 1990 commentary for the Washington Times, Gaffney attacked attempts to cancel the V-22 Osprey programme, which he called "the most promising aerospace development since the invention of the jet engine".Frank Gaffney, Osprey flying in FSX circles, Washington Times, 25 April 1990.
In May 1990, Gaffney criticised negotiations to remove short-range nuclear weapons from Germany.
::"This administration has been too willing to give away things it doesn't have to," said Frank Gaffney, president of the Center for Security Policy. "The Soviets are in the position of a river boat gambler. They have no cards, and unfortunately they are likely to get the pot."Peter Almond, Germany's future, NATO plans linked, Washington Times, 1 May 1990.
