DHS Whistleblower Exposed Obama’s Terror Cover-Up — and Paid the Price
On May 10, 2017, Philip B. Haney sat down with John B. Wells for one of the most important — and haunting — interviews ever recorded on Caravan to Midnight. Haney, a founding member of the Department of Homeland Security, laid out in detail how the U.S. government deliberately blinded itself to Islamic terror threats, erased intelligence, and punished those who tried to connect the dots.
Haney described how DHS deleted active investigations into Muslim Brotherhood networks, how then–Secretary Janet Napolitano lied to Congress about the Boston Marathon bombing, and how the Obama administration welcomed Brotherhood-linked groups into the highest levels of power. “I was told to my face,” Haney recalled, “‘Haney, this comes from the top. You are no longer allowed to put records into the system.’”
He documented more than 150 White House meetings with Brotherhood front groups such as CAIR and ISNA, even as frontline officers like himself were ordered to look the other way. His warnings tied directly to major terror attacks. “Not a single law enforcement officer queried the records before or after the Boston bombing,” he said. “And why? Because those mosques were being treated as political allies under the Countering Violent Extremism program.”
Haney went further, accusing Obama’s DHS of shredding evidence and silencing whistleblowers to protect a political narrative. “They deleted intelligence. They silenced whistleblowers. And when it came down to it, they lied to Congress,” he told John B.
Though he retired in 2015, Haney continued to speak out, providing FOIA-backed proof of cases that were erased from the record — including investigations tied to San Bernardino and Orlando. His message was simple and stark: if America refuses to name and confront its enemies, more blood will be spilled.
In February 2020, Philip Haney was found dead with a gunshot wound in California. Authorities called it suicide. Many believe he was silenced for what he knew.
This interview is both a warning and a time capsule — the voice of a man who refused to surrender his integrity, even when the system turned on him.
