Guandolo visits the Heartland on the invitation of the Omaha-based anti-Muslim Global Faith Institute (GFI) and Tactical 88, an 鈥渆lite training organization鈥� with firearm range sand readiness training centers in both Nebraska and Ohio. Guandolo and his partner Chris Gaubatz head the anti-Muslim group Understanding the Threat (UTT) and will be presenting on the Muslim Brotherhood鈥檚 鈥渟ecret strategies for the USA.鈥�

Guandolo promotes himself as a former FBI agent and an expert on terrorism who can help law enforcement and others uncover the 鈥渟ecret鈥� terrorist cells in their area, but in reality Guandolo鈥檚 trainings are little more than anti-Muslim witch-hunts. What he doesn鈥檛 tell you is that he left the Bureau in for a number of ethical breaches and bizarre conduct which included admitting to having affairs with female FBI agents and a confidential source he was assigned to protect during the corruption case of former U.S. Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.); he also solicited that witness for a $75,000 donation for an anti-terrorism group. Since his departure, Guandolo has devoted himself to a rabid brand of anti-Muslim activism, working closely with some of the most powerful and influential anti-Muslim groups in the U.S., on a flurry of accusations against government officials Guandolo says have ties to terrorist organizations.

In his spare time, Guandolo works closely with ACT for America, the largest anti-Muslim group in the country. He helped the group build 鈥淭he Thin Blue Line Project,鈥� billed as a 鈥渙ne-stop internet resource for information concerning the perceived threat of Muslim infiltration and terrorism in the country.鈥�

Its key component is a 鈥淩adicalization Map Locator,鈥� listing the addresses of hundreds of Muslim Student Association (MSA) members around the country as well as a number of mosques and Islamic institutions billed as suspected national security concerns. In 2015, Guandolo told a crowd in South Carolina that the sole purpose of MSAs is to 鈥渞ecruit jihadis鈥�; many in the anti-Muslim movement claim MSAs are a front for the Muslim Brotherhood. In short, the 鈥淭hin Blue Line鈥� project identifies targets for law enforcement and government agencies to monitor, a tactic that has gone too far in the past.

Guandolo has a long history of anti-Muslim statements. He once claimed mosques were fronts for the Muslim Brotherhood, and that mosques in general, 鈥渄o not have a First Amendment right to do anything.鈥� More recently, in a 2016 radio interview, Guandolo said Americans would soon see 鈥渄ozens of jihadis doing multiple operations in conjunction with the Marxist and socialist groups like Black Lives Matter, which will be, you know, burning and looting cities like they did in Ferguson [Mo.] and Baltimore.鈥� He has also conspiracy theories such as claiming that Muslims are purchasing hotels, gas stations and convenience stores in anticipation for 鈥渁 jihad here in the United States.鈥�

Throughout 2016 and early 2017, Guandolo to a number of states to train law enforcement, buoyed by an official endorsement from the head of the National Sheriffs Association (NSA). But at the NSA conference in Reno in June of 2017, Guandolo was involved in an altercation which ended with him being arrested after punching Hennepin County Sheriff Richard Stanek. The Center for New Community the news of this story after obtaining court records relating to the incident. Since then, Guandolo鈥檚 NSA endorsement has been pulled, and he has resorted to doing presentations for anti-Muslim groups instead of law enforcement.

The Omaha-based Global Faith Institute certainly shares Guandolo鈥檚 bigoted views about Islam and Muslims. Run by Mark Christian, a former Sunni Imam who converted to Christianity, the GFI includes anti-Muslim commentary like, 鈥�Islam doesn鈥檛 exist to reach comfortable accommodations with other faiths. 听Islam doesn鈥檛 exist to stand side by side with non-Muslims. 听Islam exists to subjugate the earth, and all in it, to Allah. 听Either Islam reigns supreme, or Islam fights. To do as Pope Francis, is merely illustrating weakness and foolishness to the Muslim mind. 听There is no admiration of Western culture among Muslims; they dismiss our successes as the benefits accruing to those who serve Satan. There is no desire to assimilate with Western societies, because that would mean assimilating into a coven of worship with which their Prophet has commanded them to subdue and destroy. 听No amount of foot washing or ecumenical interfaithery will ever change that. 听It only facilitates it by opening doors better left shut and leaving foxes in charge of the hen house.鈥�

Despite Guandolo鈥檚 long history of racism, the chairman of the Pottawattamie听County, Iowa Republican Party, Jeff Jorgensen is those in the area to attend the event, according to Iowa Public Radio. Guandolo鈥檚 event on September 14 is taking place at the Oakland Community Center, run by the City of Oakland.
