I am an investigative journalist and independent op-ed contributor to various Zionist and Conservative media outlets. I contributed to an in-depth investigative series at FrontPage Magazine with Lee Kaplan from 2003-2007. We are still working together . Go to the 5:59 timeline at -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lwBAv7f1Vg…here as well - http://www.presstv.ir/Program/320411.html - to listen to him address the current situation in Syria. He is a world class expert on the ISM (International Solidarity Movement), and he utilized my foundation in forensics and investigative journalism to “follow the jihadist money.” Unfathomably, the ISM was able to accomplish the above money laundering, courtesy of their IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Specifically, my name appears at the end of the expose’, ‘Does The Pro-Terror Left Violate U.S. Tax Laws’?
My op-eds have been featured at American Thinker, Israel National News, Israel Insider, The Jewish Press, MidEast Outpost, The Freeman Center For Strategic Studies, HONENU – Providing Legal Aid To Israeli Soldiers & Civilians In Distress, JEWSNEWS.co.il (https://adinakutnicki.com/2012/11/10/why-is-drunk-driving-treated-more-leniently-than-assault-with-a-deadly-weapon-op-ed-by-adina-kutnicki-featured-at-jewsnews-co-il/) as well as at other sites. My writings also appear in print media.
Highlighted interviews: 'The Inquisitr Interviews Adina Kutnicki: The Reality Of Life For An Israeli Patriot.' It is piggybacked with a second interview ‘The Muslim Brotherhood’s Quest For Global Dominance – An Interview With Adina Kutnicki.’ A recent book review On A Wing From The Holy Land [Review Of An Exciting New Novel About The Spiritual Journey Of An Israeli Woman] was also spotlighted at Inquisitr.
This blog received a ‘Watcher of Weasels’ Award - see within – scroll down to ‘Non-Council’ winners.
In addition, I am honored to be a part of a very important team effort, as we attempt to beat back against the scourge of Islam at Islam Exposed Online. I am its Israel Administrator. My part can be found herein, at Ask the Expert with Paul “Dave” Gaubatz and throughout the website.
News highlights include: from Dave Gaubatz’s newsletter/blog, dated March 31,2014 – ‘The FBI Are Wimps On The War On Islamic Terrorism’ -
“I have uncovered thousands of Islamic materials advocating the Muslim community to engage in Jihad. This can be with the tongue, pen, or sword. If you aren’t able to contribute this way, then one has an obligation to help finance the efforts of Jihadist’s. Why then does the FBI not go after the Islamic leaders? Well let’s see: Saudi influence, liberal media influence, and of course the Islamic supporting Obama administration……
What type leaders do we need if we were to even have a chance at defeating Islamic terrorism in America? We need more Megan Kelly’s, Jack Ellison’s, Roy White’s, John Kuchta’s, Adina Kutnicki’s, Brenda and Roger Homefield’s, and fewer journalistic wimps such as O’Reilly.”
And BY DANA DiFILIPPO, Daily News Staff Writer:
“But this backlash was especially intense: Some who claim CAIR is a terrorist-friendly group see Bender’s employment there as a treasonous public-relations ploy.
It is obligatory to out the traitors in our midst,” conservative Zionist blogger Adina Kutnicki wrote of Bender. “This . . . is a matter of Jews aiding and abetting those who seek nothing less than Israel’s destruction, and by definition, the murder of half of world Jewry.”
I also assist several Zionist academics with their efforts, chiefly through their policy centers. I am particularly in sync with the policy prescriptions elucidated by Dr. Martin Sherman (his latest tv interview at i.24tv on the “peace process”) and Professor Paul Eidelberg (his latest interview at Inquisitr, ‘Organized Treachery vs. Organized Hypocrisy‘). Therefore, I lend them my insights.
My “go to” expert on all matters pertaining to international law, and a country’s right to anticipatory self defense – via preemptive strikes – is none other than Professor Louis Rene Beres of ‘Project Daniel.’ The working group’s original policy paper is found herein. He was Chair of the above strategic nuclear policy paper given to PM Ariel Sharon in 2003 - and subsequently briefed the report to President George W. Bush and to current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - in relation to Israel’s nuclear strategy in the face of Iran’s pursuit of WMD’s. He is a man of great integrity and humility.
Lou, a heartfelt thank you for being my mentor.

Lao Tzu coined the Chinese axiom – “Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
My beloved husband Frank, z”l (of blessed memory), wise as he was, didn’t know Chinese, but he knew how to raise sons. He understood that instilling self respect and ethical standards, coupled with outstanding education, would allow them to “fish” for life, not only financially, but also morally. The above are life’s most valuable lessons-and gifts-a father can give to his son(s), deeply expressed within a tribute penned on his date of death, his yarzheit. His birthday was duly honored.
Born and raised in New York City, I made aliyah (immigrated) to Israel in the summer of 2008. Being fluent in Hebrew allows me to gauge the mood (aka “matzav”) of the country, thus, enabling me to report on core Zionist issues (though in English) with much more accuracy.
Most intrinsically (and personally gratifying), I am the mother of two outstanding sons. Both are electrical engineers (MIT & Caltech educated) and proudly serve as IDF reservists.
This blog is dedicated in memory of their father; my beloved husband. He is resting, watching over us, on Har HaMenuchot (Mount of Rest) in Jerusalem. A man who believed in justice, loved Israel, was a proud American and especially grateful for the freedoms it gave his parents, after they survived the horrors of Auschwitz.
Hopefully, my small effort will enlighten Israelis and Americans (and the west in general) to the dangers posed by our common foes. These dangers are fueled exponentially by the morphing of the Red/Green alliance-radical leftists and Islamic jihadists
PC addled westerners are akin to addicts in the throes of their addiction. Resultant, they will never admit to what’s what, even if warned that their lives (and those of their loved ones) depend on a volte face. In fact, appearing tolerant to the most intolerant on the face of the earth is their “religion” of choice. Such is the case, despite irreparable harm to enumerable innocents. It is the G-d’s honest truth.
THUS, proof after proof can be brought to the fore, yet it won’t make a dent. But this doesn’t mean that facts will remain hidden, just because countless leftists, aka “liberals”, demand silence from the rest of us. Why should we die on their perverted altar? Not on this site’s watch…
AS to the charge of Islamic barbarism, where does one begin, other than at Islam’s linkage to blood. Read it in full. View the video below too.
Among the results are lower average intelligence and impaired health
Muslim culture still practices inbreeding and has been doing so for the better part of 1400 years. Consanguineous marriages were originally sanctioned by Islam’s prophet Muhammed, who had a very liberal view on men’s sexual relationships. In addition his many sex slaves, he married several cousins, the divorced wife of his own adopted son and the six year old Aisha, with whom he had sex with when she was nine.
A rough estimate shows that close to half of the world’s Muslims are inbred as a result of consanguineous marriages. In Pakistan, 70 percent of all marriages are between first cousins – children of siblings – and in Turkey the share is 25-30 percent.
Statistical research on Arabic countries indicates that up to 34 percent of all marriages in Algeria are blood-related as are 46 percent in Bahrain, 33 percent in Egypt, 80 percent in Nubia (the southern part of Egypt), 60 percent in Iraq, 64 percent in Jordan, 64 percent in Kuwait, 42 percent in Lebanon, 48 percent in Libya, 47 percent in Mauritania, 54 percent in Qatar, 67 percent in Saudi Arabia, 63 percent in Sudan, 40 percent in Syria, 39 percent in Tunisia, 54 percent in the United Arabic Emirates and 45 percent in Yemen. According to Dr. Nadia Sakati of King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Riyadh, 45 percent of married Arab couples are blood-related. The fact that many of these couples are themselves children of blood-related parents increases the risk of negative consequences.
The number of blood-related marriages is lower among Muslim immigrants living in the West. Among Pakistanis living in Denmark the number is down to 40 percent and it is 15 percent among Turkish immigrants. This may be due to the fact that immigration rules make it difficult to import family-related brides. Another factor may be better information on the risks connected with blood-related marriages. Because of better human rights protection it is also more difficult for traditional Muslim families to force their children to marry within the family.
In spite of the lower percentage of consanguineous marriages among Muslims living in the West, at least 55 percent of Pakistanis living in the United Kingdom are married to a first cousin. This is thought to explain why British Pakistani families are at least 13 times more likely than the general population to have children with recessive genetic disorders – often resulting in serious genetic diseases.
Several studies show that, on average, children of consanguineous marriages have lower intelligence than children of non-related parents. The average intelligence quotient, IQ, in any age group is 100. Depending on the theoretical basis, the line between normal intelligence and low intelligence is 90 or 85. Below 70-79 is categorized as mild disability, 50-69 is moderate disability. Significantly more low-IQ children drop out of school and remain unskilled workers throughout life.
There are many studies on the intelligence effects of inbreeding among cousins. One study from Bihar, India, on Muslim children living in suburban areas, shows that while outbred offspring have an average IQ of 95, inbred children have an average IQ of 79, which puts them in category of people with “low intelligence” having special needs in schools, difficulty handling simple job tasks and completing a basic education. The study also shows the social profiles like visual fixation, social smile, sound seizures, oral expression and hand grasping are significantly delayed among the newborn inbred babies. A decrease in the ability to understand and react to social interaction is known to have a negative influence on children’s development, including social skills and empathy, later in life.
Other studies reach similar conclusions, also when adjusted for socioeconomic status. The cognitive consequences of Muslim inbreeding may explain why non-Western immigrants are more than 300 percent more likely than native Danes to fail the Danish army’s intelligence test. It may also be part of the explanation why two-thirds of school children with Arabic backgrounds are illiterate after 10 years in the Danish school system. The connection betweenlow intelligence and a lack of ability to be self-supporting is well established. The extreme lack of scientific and social contributions from the Muslim world may be another result of inbreeding. While 184 Jews have received the Nobel Prize for their scientific, social and artistic contributions to the world, only 10 Muslims have had this honor.
Since 1901 Jews have received 34 percent of all Nobel Prizes. The world Jewish population in 2012 is approximately 14 million whereas the total number of Muslims is estimated to number 1.5 billion.
The risk of stillbirth doubles when parents are first cousins. A study comparing Pakistani children of consanguineous marriages with Norwegian children shows a 50 percent higher risk that babies die during birth. Infant mortality among the inbred Pakistani children was more than double that among the Norwegian children. Deaths due to disorders such as cystic fibrosis and spinal muscular atrophy were 18 times more common among the Pakistani children and deaths due to multiple malformations, which may be part of unrecognized autosomal recessive syndromes, were 10 times more common.
Other research concludes that inbred people have a higher risk of developing mental disorders such as depression and schizophrenia. The practice of consanguineous marriages in Muslim families may thus explain why more than 40 percent of the patients in Denmark’s Sct. Hans Hospital for the criminally insane and 70 percent of the inmates in Danish youth prisons have immigrant backgrounds.
**The consequences of consanguineous marriages may also bring us closer to an understanding Islamic terrorism. One study suggests that many suicide bombers are suffering from depression. Among some Muslims their actions are considered a socially acceptable way of committing suicide in order to end mental torment.
A study from Kabul, Afghanistan, based on autopsies of the remains of suicide bombers, shows that close to 90 percent were suffering from severe illnesses or deficiencies such as blindness, cancer, missing limbs or leprosy. Many Muslim societies, including that of Afghanistan, have a low social acceptance of handicaps and mental illness. Being physically handicapped or mentally retarded often leads to exclusion. Becoming a martyr may be the only chance of achieving social recognition and honor. Some cases of Down’s syndrome may be another unpleasant effect of inbreeding and al-Qaeda has been known to use people afflicted with it. People with low intelligence may also be more easily convinced that Islam, with its promise of 72 virgins to Muslims who die fighting for their religion, is true. Inbreeding among Muslims has severe social implications both for the Western societies and the Muslim world. According to Danish Social worker Merete Lefelt, “When cousins have children together, they are twice as likely to have a disabled child. … Disabled immigrant children cost Danish municipalities millions. In Copenhagen the number of disabled children … has doubled over 10 years.” She has contacted 330 families with disabled children in Copenhagen and estimates that one-third of her clients have a foreign cultural background. The cost of special education for slow learners consumes one-third of the Danish school budget. This means less money for normal and gifted learners. 51 percent of the children in Copenhagen’s three schools for children with physical and mental handicaps have immigrant backgrounds.
High levels of education may also make it harder for inbred students to finish their studies. Students with minority backgrounds have a significantly higher dropout rate at secondary schools than youths with a Danish background. In business schools, the dropout rate among immigrants is 60 percent, twice as high as among students with a Danish background. Interestingly the dropout among young people with Lebanese or Iranian background is far greater than among people of e.g. Vietnamese background. (Center for Knowledge on Integration in Randers, May 2005 “Youth, education and integration“).
The limited ability to understand, appreciate and produce knowledge as a result of low IQ is probably part of the reason why Muslim countries only produce one-tenth of the World average when it comes to scientific research. In 2003 the world average for production of scientific articles was 137 per million inhabitants, whereas the average among 47 Islamic countries was just 13.
MORE proof of the pudding, as to the blood thirsty nature of Islam, can always be gleaned through one of the most adept of this investigative journalist’s scholarly contacts. And though the following is directed at Israel’s leftist-driven leaders – those who truly make policy – it is a mirror-like prescription for American (western) leaders too. This site’s trusted prof always gets it right!
In a previous article, I quoted Bernard Lewis, the doyen of Islamic studies, who recognized that overweening arrogance is characteristic of Muslim culture. From Lewis we learn that worshippers of the Qur’an are so proud of their own perfection as to make Islam and its Muslim worshipers “impervious to external stimuli.” This requires Israel to treat these disciples of Mohammad ruthlessly, as brilliantly explained by the author of Civilization and Its Enemies, Lou Harris, the “philosopher of 9/11.
The inordinate pride or arrogance of Muslims will only be magnified by the sugary self-restraint of democratic politicians like Benjamin Netanyahu. Muslims who regard Jews as “dogs” – their epithet for all non-Muslims – need to be treated as one might treat mad dogs: kill them at once. Failure to do so will only encourage these beasts to murder more Jews. And mark this well: they will target our most eminent citizens, rabbis, to degrade Judaism and flaunt the “supremacy” of their own religion.
Only recall how the Viet Cong Communists targeted the mayors and teachers of South Vietnam villages – the most respected personalities – to demoralize their enemy in the South.
No sane person would seek to befriend a dog stricken with rabies – a poison analogous to the pathological hatred Muslims incubate and harbor for Jews, a hatred so vividly portrayed by Leon Uris in Exodus.
An Israeli Prime Minister that disregards the lethal theo-political significance of this hatred is not qualified for that office. An Israeli Prime Minister that does not feel morally outraged by the murder of rabbis – especially by Muslims – is a clod, to put it mildly.
The great Arab philosopher al-Farabi (d. 950), who was a Muslim in dress only, would agree. He wrote a book on Plato and Aristotle in an esoteric way to conceal his utter contempt for Islam on the one hand, and his admiration of those Greek philosophers on the other. Indeed, the great Arab historian and sociologist ibn Khaldun (d. 1406) regarded Arabs as “savages.” You don’t negotiate with savages, certainly not on the basis of “reciprocity” – which would be indicative of fatuity bordering on insanity!
Much the same may be said of Israeli officials who collaborate in a Government that consorts with the murderers of Jewish children. Against such ruthless enemies, ruthlessness is a must, lest they call us sheep as well as dogs!◙
TO place it all in perspective, it is imperative to not only see the truth, but to shout it from the rooftops.
STIPULATED:
ISLAM is a retrograde, barbaric doctrine; one which is inherently a political bludgeon dressed up as one of the 3 Abrahamic religions. Really.
YES, if slaughtering, pillaging, raping and bloody warfare is “religious” in nature, then Islam should be accorded religious respect. But just because a lie is repeated for centuries, it doesn’t change its basis.
THE questions become: when will western leaders/elitists realize that Islam’s blood components are diametrically opposed to western civilization? and will they also admit that Islam’s backward, retarded growth has as much to do with continuous inbreeding – in the face of RAMPANT genetic mutations within their bloodlines – much of which adds to their violent behavior throughout the civilized world?
TRAGICALLY, the more one witnesses Islamic barbarism the more one becomes immune to its effects. As time marches onward their monstrous behavior feels like “business as usual”, and with its ability to shock less and less. Yes, the above descriptor is akin to the battered wife syndrome but on a macro scale, whereby the Muslim ummah terrorizes the entire west on steroids!
SIMILARLY, leftist revolutionaries implant threats in every sphere they seek to dominate. Bogeymen-like. While a big portion of their intimidation invariably materializes, some of it is basically designed as strong-arm tactics – do this, or else. Inherently, both leftist/reds and Islamist/greens count on a trait within human nature; one which deconstructs mental defenses via constant pressure points, be it of the physical or verbal variety. In fact, radical reds have their own bible of sorts, their guiding force, Rules For Radicals:
* RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist. (Perception is reality. Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds. The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)
SO too Islamic jihadists depend upon similar tactics. While swathing wreckage wherever they implant their feet, they are also mindful that westerners are as afraid of what “may” happen, as much as they are of what has already happened. The fear of the unknown is a leverage like none other.
IN this regard, even their fellow Muslims – those who prefer a more secular outlook, actually non-religious Muslims – who refuse to toe the line are targeted. To wit, no one is safe from their clutches:
A prominent Egyptian-German author has gone into hiding after Islamist hardliners in Egypt called for his death, accusing the writer of insulting Islam.
That provoked a sharp reaction from Islamist hardliners on television and social media. Assem Abdel-Maged, a prominent member of the ultra-conservative Gamaa Islamiya party, described Mr. Abdel-Samad as an infidel.
BESIDES, how many acts of domestic Islamic terror will it take for the threat to be identified by western leaders and poohbahs? But never mind. Regardless, the following is a select rendering out of innumerable:
AND aside from all the known jihadi compounds/cells (detailed in the aforementioned links), how about the newly discovered ones:
The depositions revealed that MOA has a previously unknown property outside of Anchorage, Alaska. They also confirmed the existence of an additional New York property, as well as California and Michigan locations.
The Deputy Director of MOA, Hussein Adams, is the son of terrorist Barry Adams. During questioning he was unable to provide evidence which would indicate a lack of reasonable basis for the defendants’ claims.
While MOA officials denied assertions that they are a terrorist organization, they refused to provide basic information regarding the group and their activities.
They contended that the group kept no records, with director Adams asserting that he did not know the names of those on the town council at their flagship location, Islamberg. The identity of the person entrusted to issue checks to pay the organization’s bills was also unknown, according to director Adams.
MOA is the umbrella organization operating 22 “Islamic villages” nationwide, including “Mahmoudberg” in Sweeny, Texas.
YES, Texas, once again….keep reading…
ALAS, every time it rears its head the Jihadi-in-Chief’s official mantra is one or the other, or a combination of both: Islamic mandated jihad is coined “workplace violence” , but certainly NOT related to Islam. Period. Case closed.
HMM…self explanatory…
SO how surprising was it that another “peaceful” follower of Islam woke up one morning, loaded his car with explosives, got behind the wheel and decided to ram into a Texas air base? Do pig’s fly? Is Islam capable of reforming?
Alex Delgado, spokesman for the 502nd Air Base Wing, says in a statement that the lockdown was lifted Sunday night after officials decided it was safe to return to normal operations. It wasn’t clear how long the person taken into custody would be held or if charges would be filed. Nobody else was in the vehicle.
Military officials told KCEN-TV that the man that drove through the gate at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio was a Saudi National and that explosive materials were found in the vehicle. The unidentified man was taken into custody and officials are still trying to determine his motive. Military officials are not yet calling this an attempted terrorist attack.
According to the city of San Antonio’s website, the base was established in 1910 — the ninth-oldest Army installation in the country. Fort Sam Houston now encompasses 3,000 acres and is home of military medicine and part of Joint Base San Antonio
LET’S be very clear here: Obama Inc.’s spinmeisters will make sure that doubt is sowed, as to whether or not there were even explosives in his car to begin with. Allah washing. Guess what? This site assures there were, in so far as trusted investigative contacts have affirmed as much.
UNDER the most hopeful case scenario, Pakistan is always on the brink. A cauldron of jihadi fire. Just take a peek at its beyond lengthy list of terror groups, most of which are very active in Pakistan, their regional sphere, the Mid East and the west too. Keep yourselves from shivering timbers.
YET even Indonesia, considered a “model” Muslim nation by the west, whether true or not – and the largest one at that – it too is succumbing to ISIS Caliphate fever. This is definitely reality in the making, despite those who feign otherwise. Get over it.
BUT back to Pakistan…
AS stated, Pakistan is regularly just a short step from implosion, even without ISIS in the mix. Yet it must be noted that ISIS is basically an offshoot of Al Qaeda, both of which are part of the Brotherhood Mafia. This is very significant to the overall jihadi picture.
ALONG this incendiary terrain it is also worth recognizing: those who have followed the handiwork of Al Qaeda’s monstrous barbarism should consider what it will mean when their “cousins”, ISIS butchers, get their paws on Pakistan’s nukes, and they will!
To ensure that no nuclear weapons falls into the hands of ISIS, there is only one option, that the US takes control of Pakistan’s nukes and disarms Pakistan. But is this scenario even feasible? Hardly.
The problem in the West is that its comparing the ISIS problem with its previous predecessor Al-Qaeda so the western news consumers are not paying as much attention to how fast the Islamic State is moving and it’s not wasting time like al-Qaida did before and its moving in lightning speed…..read the whole thing….
INDEED, ISIS’s catapult has been reiterated within this site and at various related interviews, ever since they jumped into the public sphere.
One report from the Washington Institute says ISIS has developed colonies in areas as far as Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Algeria, and in the Sinai Peninsula through jihadist groups declaring loyalty to the Islamic State.
ISIS has spread, they note, as far as Africa. One station is the result of fighters loyal to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi gaining complete control of the Libyan seaport city of Derna. Derna is near the Egyptian border and about 200 miles from Greece.
Israel-based intelligence analyst Adina Kutnicki told Breitbart in an interview that ISIS’ expansion into Libya is definitely an offensive move.
“Wherever the Caliphate (ISIS) claims as its address and hoists its banner, rest assured, offensive jihad gains exponential traction,” Kutnicki said.
Jihad Watch publisher Robert Spencer told Breitbart that the number of declared Islamic State loyalists means the Caliphate is gaining credibility.
“This means the caliphate claim is gaining traction. In Sunni Islam, only the caliph is authorized to wage offensive jihad. Therefore this ultimately means that there will be even more violence against Westerners and non-Muslims. This is a new level that will make these days look like times of peace,” Spencer said.
Center for Security Policy Vice President for Research Clare Lopez agrees with both assessments. Lopez said in an interview that ISIS’ successful expansion is because they’re following a successful formula.
“It seems that the Islamic State is establishing franchises in the same way that al-Qaida did before them,” Lopez said.
The successful ISIS expansion of its brand is causing Middle East analysts to project ISIS next move militarily.
Adina Kutnicki says ISIS has further plans for expansion. She also told Breitbart that she believes ISIS’ will move on Saudi Arabia.
“I believe they will first target Saudi Arabia, for capturing the Kingdom brings them one step closer to controlling Sunni Islam. After which, the rest will be much easier to control, but in this order: Jordan, Lebanon and Israel. Rest assured, once they close in on Israel, Jerusalem’s nukes will be brought out, albeit the low yield ones,” Kutnicki said.
Even if ISIS doesn’t move to attack Saudi Arabia, Yan St-Pierre, CEO of the Intelligence firm MOSECON told Breitbart in an interview that there are three possibilities for ISIS expansion.
St-Pierre says there are three possibilities.
“First, it gives notoriety to certain groups that have been embroiled in civil wars like in Libya or conflict zones like Sudan, Mali or Tunisia. This prominence enables a stronger recruitment and the establishment of various partnerships that could alter the tendencies of some of the aforementioned conflicts.
“Second, while not necessarily opening new fronts, it does create more favorable conditions for a regional spill-over of the localized conflicts, something that is already a great concern in the Middle East, North Africa, and Sahel (the desert territory south of the Sahara).
“Third, and this remains iffy at this point, if ISIS does decide to financially, logistically, or strategically support these colonies, it would indeed create forward bases for ISIS, allowing it not only to open new fronts but also provide it with a greater access to resources and trafficking routes that could be used to (re)supply its existing fronts and territories,” St-Pierre said.
However, Kutnicki believes ISIS has the power to move forward. She adds that in the push to enlarge its influence and territory, no city will be spared and the Islamic State will ignore Western leaders.
“Baghdad will not be spared, it is an integral part of their Caliphate plans. As to the west, they have no fear of the leadership of the free world and will not take any of the leaders into consideration,” Kutnicki said.
Kutnicki also says she takes seriously the recent reports that ISIS’ army numbers 200,000.
“I believe it is entirely possible that the 200,000 number is a close estimate, though proving it would be nearly impossible. Nevertheless, it is a viable guesstimate,” Kutnicki said.
Intelligence Community analyst Peter Cohen said in an interview that whether ISIS moves militarily or organically through colonies or constituent alliances, two nations in the report have the organization to stop them.
“Libya has collapsed and is no longer a true nation. The residue of the former government has no influence and Tripoli is occupied by radical Islamists. The same thing in Yemen, except Libya has no Shias,” Cohen said.
St-Pierre, whose firm provides intelligence to governmental and non-governmental groups, adds that one of the burdens ISIS faces is maintaining control of its existing territories.
“ISIS still has issues consolidating its current territory, so diverting resources to other regions remains unlikely and at this point. Groups like the one controlling the Libyan city of Darna receive little more than a formal recognition of their allegiance to the Caliphate,” St-Pierre said.
However, because of a historical pattern, Cohen doubts the potential for ISIS longevity. “Everybody has sworn loyalty to al-Baghdadi, like mass hysteria, but that doesn’t mean they really mean it. Al-Baghdadi, when you look at his background, is a loser, a ‘Woody Allen with a sword’. He is really a nobody. That so many Muslims in the Middle-East and some in the West, drool like dogs, when you mention his name, says as much about their low self-esteem, as al-Baghdadi’s moral incontinence and brutal inhumanity,” Cohen said.
Cohen believes that Islamist government-like structures will always have difficulties in remaining organized:
Remember this too: Islam is inherently anarchic, nihilistic and entropic. No Islamic nation to date, including increasingly Islamic Turkey, Malaysia, and Indonesia, has passed the democracy test, and all eventually implode. Ataturk’s reforms in Turkey did not last; Sukarno could not keep Indonesia secular. Malaysia is even less so and poor old Kazakhstan remains the exception that proves the rule. If Kazakhstan did not have a neo-USSR dictator, it would have an Islamic government. If these nations all fail, al-Baghdadi’s ‘Caliphate’ is bogus; it won’t happen. Someone will ice him, whether a follower, a Kurd or a Western plan.
However, Lopez believes that the threat from the ISIS colonization and expansion is real. Since the threat is real, she says, a coordinated response from the West is needed. “What all of this means is that the problem is bigger than one posed by any one group. The West is under assault from an attack on the whole of civilization,” she explained. “This means that we have to respond with all of Western civilization. That means the governments, legal institutions, faith communities, intelligence organizations, diplomatic arms, the political structures, and the social and military establishment,” Lopez said.
She also says, “The response has to be more than just a military one, which is what we’ve been doing.”
She adds, “What I am saying is that we have to address the actual enemy threat which is the doctrine of Islamic Jihad and Shariah Law.”
BASICALLY, two components stand out above the rest: how they went from there to here, their “success”, plus where they are presently implanted.
CONSIDER component one as a gift from the leader of the heretofore free world:
LEST there be any misunderstandings, if not for the consequences generated from Benghazigate, Sunni Brotherhood jihadists – of which ISIS are part and parcel of, on whose behalf Barack HUSSEIN Obama ordered the largest weapons-running operation in Mid East history – would not be knocking on America’s door, nor Israel’s. Others as well. Nevertheless, as an American-Israeli, both nations are my top priorities. Hands down.
OMINOUSLY, a major outgrowth to Obama’s illegal war in Libya (the main goal of the weapons running was to destabilize Syria for the benefit of Syria’s Brotherhood Mafia) allowed countless man-pads to awash Syria and beyond. In this regard, isn’t it likely that this is how ISIS got their hands on said weapons and then some?
Islamic State militants stormed a Syrian airbase over the weekend, routing the remaining elements of the country’s army from northern Raqqah province and reportedly seizing a cache of shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles.
The seizure of Tabqa air base, while not the first installation of its type to fall to militants, highlights the Islamic State’s gains in the region and the group’s continued pilfering of advanced military equipment, particularly the surface-to-air missile systems known as MANPADS, short for Man Portable Air Defense Systems.
Fighters loyal to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria are now in complete control of the city of Derna, population of about 100,000, not far from the Egyptian border and just about 200 miles from the southern shores of the European Union.
The fighters are taking advantage of political chaos to rapidly expand their presence westwards along the coast, Libyan sources tell CNN.
The sources say the Derna branch of ISIS counts 800 fighters and operates half a dozen camps on the outskirts of the town, as well as larger facilities in the nearby Green Mountains, where fighters from across North Africa are being trained.
It has been bolstered by the return to Libya from Syria and Iraq of up to 300 Libyan jihadists who were part of ISIS’ al Battar Brigade — deployed at first in Deir Ezzor in Syria and then Mosul in Iraq. These fighters supported the Shura Council for the Youth of Islam in Derna, a pro-ISIS faction.
The council had been competing for superiority with another militant group, the Abu Salem Brigade, some of whose fighters’ loyalties lay with al Qaeda, according to Noman Benotman, a former Libyan jihadist now involved in counter-terrorism for the Quilliam Foundation.
Al Qaeda’s top envoy in Libya, Abdulbasit Azuz, left Derna after U.S. Special Forces captured Ahmed Abu Khatallah, an alleged ringleader of the Benghazi attacks in June. Azuz is now believed to be in Syria, Benotman told CNN.
Amateur video from the end of October showed a large crowd of militants affiliated with the Shura Council for the Youth of Islam chanting their allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi. The new ISIS wing in Derna calls itself the “Barqa” provincial division of the Islamic State, the name given to the eastern region of Libya when Islamic rule replaced the Roman Empire.
The Libyan branch of ISIS now has a tight grip on the city, controlling the courts, all aspects of administration, education, and the local radio. “Derna today looks identical to Raqqa, the ISIS headquarters town in Syria,” Benotman told CNN.
“ISIS pose a serious threat in Libya. They are well on the way to creating an Islamic emirate in eastern Libya,” Benotman said.
Judges, journalists and army officers have been among dozens targeted for assassination in Derna this year.
Similarities to Syria
Derna has a long history of Islamist radicalism. Marginalized during the Gadhafi era, it contributed more foreign fighters per capita to al Qaeda in Iraq than any other town in the Middle East. It has also provided scores of fighters for ISIS in Syria.
In another disturbing similarity with Syria, the bodies of three anti-ISIS activists were found beheaded in the town last week. The group has beheaded many in Syria, including Western journalists and aid workers.
Two months ago ISIS leader Baghdadi helped orchestrate the take-over of Derna by dispatching one of his senior aides, Abu Nabil al Anbari, an Iraqi ISIS veteran who had spent time with Baghdadi, in a U.S. detention facility in Iraq, according to Benotman.
Helped by Abu al-Baraa el-Azdi, a Saudi preacher who has become Derna’s top religious judge, al Anbari’s efforts have borne fruit. Last week a new pan-Libyan group calling itself “Mujahideen of Libya” declared allegiance to Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, claiming it was sub-divided into three provinces: Barqa, Tripoli, and Fezzan (southwest Libya). The ISIS leader responded by calling all supporters in Libya to join what he called the newest administrative region of the Islamic caliphate.
According to Aaron Zelin, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, the Islamic State’s new province in Libya “could have some level of viability, at least in the short term” because fighters there are well-positioned to fund themselves through “trafficking, smuggling and other black market activities.”…..
SANS a scintilla of a doubt, this investigative journalist admits to harping on this and that, perhaps like a broken record. Yes, guilty as charged. Not only that, having a bull-like personality accounts for some of said doggedness. But make no mistake, it is absolutely the case that only subjects which impinge upon the safety of America and Israel (by extension, the west) are objects of such constant “obsession”.
NOW that the above is settled, what is absolutely shocking, more than amazing and incontestably dangerous is that anyone who works in a security related arena, let alone has a grasp of the geo-political realm, is at all surprised about Libya’s Caliphate status! Oh my…
SO it truly tries a patriot’s soul when a prior (or on duty) CIA/security operative claims that it is “oh, so shocking” that Libya is in ISIS’s cross hairs. Huh and duh? Can you believe it?
Shockingly, a former operative with the CIA, which was intricately involved in the operation to remove Gadhafi by helping the Libyan rebels, appeared on CNN with Wolf Blitzer and expressed outright disbelief at the situation in Libya.
Really?
Also, ISIS is not new. The flags that have been identified as ISIS flags were flown in Benghazi ever since the overthrow of Gadhafi. In fact, ISIS was created in late 2011 / early 2012 in Syria and Iraq. Benghazi was attacked on 9/11/12, long after ISIS had been created.
Was ISIS involved in the Benghazi attacks?
When it comes to learning what was really going on in Benghazi before four Americans were murdered there, House Speaker John Boehner admitted to knowing about weapons shipments from Benghazi to Turkey and then onto Syrian rebels.
U.S. policy in the Middle East is clearly being influenced by Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the U.S. government, which also leads back to Boehner.
In addition to defending Hillary Clinton advisor Huma Abedin while throwing Rep. Michele Bachmann under the bus in 2012, Boehner shockingly introduced an Imam – with highly suspicious connections – who delivered an Islamic prayer on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.
All the while, Boehner kept his head bowed.
NOW before any further elaboration ensues, it is no secret that this site is hooked into certain experts, some of whom operate in the counter terror area, while others are strategic experts. Moreover, some are out in the open while others – not so much. Regardless, admittedly and resultant, the landscape clears on this end well before most understand what is taking place, aside from what the leadership wants the public to think. Understood. Nevertheless, there are no excuses for those who earn(ed) their living as so-called experts, yet are still dangerously misinformed. Woefully off the mark.
Mark One:
HOW many are familiar with the bull’s eye knock-on effects from Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s illegal war in Libya? Pointedly, its cataclysmic results were cited at this site, well before many other so-called journalists caught on. Mind you, some are still clueless! Bizarre.
STIPULATED, the boots on the ground in Libya were illegal, in so far as Congressional approval was not given for said intervention. Basically, an anti-Constitutional power grab. Simple as that.
IN this regard, the entire Brotherhood Mafia, including ISIS, were the intended recipients of said U.S. thrust, and the proofs are manifest. As this investigative journalist noted:
OMINOUSLY, a major outgrowth to Obama’s illegal war in Libya (the main goal of the weapons running was to destabilize Syria for the benefit of Syria’s Brotherhood Mafia) allowed countless man-pads to awash Syria and beyond. In this regard, isn’t it likely that this is how ISIS got their hands on said weapons and then some?
THE core questions become: how is the above working out so far, and to whose benefit? is the Mid East and Africa more stable, or in a cauldron of wildfire, as a result of the Jihadi-in-Chief’s machinations?
Mark Three:
STILL not convinced, as to how “necessary” it was for an Islamist-in-Chief to go from there to here? Okay.
CONSEQUENTIALLY, there should no longer be any doubt: both parties, with Demsters led by the Islamist-in-Chief (and a gaggle of Congressional members) and Repubs led by RINOS Boehner, Rogers and McCain (others too), are duty complicit in the rise of the Caliphate. How so?
IN no uncertain terms, the aforementioned are bent on protecting Islam within America, whatever the costs.
At the time, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) said, “It’s not right to question the loyalty of fellow Americans without any evidence.” Well, now we have the evidence.
BUT let’s get down to brass tacks, in a manner of speaking. Boehner is much more than an addled booze hound, which he is also guilty of being:
Newly re-elected Speaker of the House John Boehner (who was elected by secret ballot, no less), presided and bowed his freaking head, while the Imam for the Islamic Center of Central Jersey praised Islam’s Allah from the House floor as the God who reigns supreme. What? Is the entire political leadership of the US now converted to Islam?
Imam Hamad Chebli didn’t just appear at the House floor; he also delivered Islamic prayers at theNational Cathedral which was prepared for Muslim prayers with rugs. One wonders if a statue of Baal were placed on the House floor, if Boehner would have prostrated himself before that demon as well.
Chebli is no harmless man of faith:
Early in his studies, a teacher named Hassan Khaled chose Chebli to serve at a neighboring mosque. Nearly four decades later, Chebli laughs as he recalls the puzzled expression of the mosques members when a lanky boy in glasses came to lead their prayers …[Hassan] Khaled, his mentor, was chosen Grand Mufti of Lebanon, the nations foremost Islamic legal scholar in the Sunni Muslim sect.”
BUT few deserve more Congressional opprobrium in this arena, other than Rep Mike Rogers, as he is the Intelligence Committee Chair! In other words, if this bastard doesn’t know what’s what and who’s who in the jihadi jungle (having been an FBI special agent too…my heavens…), then who does?
Those of us who are anticipating a measure of (long overdue) justice for Americans who were slaughtered during Benghazigate will likely be waiting, as is said, until the cows come home. This tragic state of affairs revolves around many levels of treachery, but the latest emanates from a particular bastard, a Rep who is overseeing the House Intelligence committee. Wow. A snake in the grass.
At the very least, is it too much to expect that a man of honor sits at the head of said committee, a leader who is capable of discerning justice? Asked and answered.
Alas, this is not the case, even though (Repub) Rep. Rogers was a former FBI Special Agent and should be able to smell the jihad. This blogger has more than a nose for their scents, therefore he has zero excuse. Zip and zilch. Agreed?
Nevertheless, like many Congressional reps, in tandem with other powerful players in tow, Rogers turns deaf, dumb and blind and plays footsie, even to the point of accepting a keynote address at a mobbed up Brotherhood event! Readers, it doesn’t even matter why. What is intrinsic is he in their pockets, one way or another…
JUST when you thought that Islamic sadism couldn’t get any worse, the fact of the matter is that those who are sexually ravaged, under the banner of the newly self-proclaimed Caliphate, would likely prefer a swift head chopping, rather than what they are forced to endure. Repeatedly. No kidding.
IN this regard, it is intrinsic for westerners to separate the guilty, as charged, jihadis, from those who are captives due to their fate. Take special note of the parts played by female recruits into the ranks of ISIS, as well as into the general jihadi arena. Consider their complete willingness to die under the banner of Islam:
Women and girls appear to make up about 10% of those leaving Europe, North America and Australia to link up with jihadi groups, including Islamic State (Isis). France has the highest number of female jihadi recruits, with 63 in the region – about 25% of the total – and at least another 60 believed to be considering the move.
In most cases, women and girls appear to have left home to marry jihadis, drawn to the idea of supporting their “brother fighters” and having “jihadist children to continue the spread of Islam”, said Louis Caprioli, former head of the French security agency Direction de la Surveillance du Territoire. “If their husband dies, they will be given adulation as the wife of a martyr.”
Five people, including a sister and brother, were arrested in France earlier this month suspected of belonging to a ring in central France that specialised in recruiting young French women, according to Bernard Cazeneuve, the interior minister.
Counter-terrorism experts in the UK believe about 50 British girls and women have joined Isis, about a tenth of those known to have travelled to Syria to fight. Many are believed to be based in Raqqa, the eastern Syrian city that has become an Isis stronghold.
Those identified by researchers at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation at Kings College London are mainly aged between 16 and 24. Many are university graduates, and have left behind caring families in their home countries. At least 40 women have left Germany to join Isis in Syria and Iraq in what appears to be a growing trend of teenagers becoming radicalised and travelling to the Middle East without their parents’ permission.
“The youngest was 13-years-old,” Hans-Georg Maassen, president of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, told the Rheinische Post. “Four underage women left with a romantic idea of jihad marriage and married young male fighters who they had got to know via the internet.”
In Austria, the case of two teenage friends, Samra Kesinovic, 16, and Sabina Selimovic, 15, who ran away from their homes in Vienna to join jihadis in Syria, may be “only the tip of the iceberg”, said Heinz Gärtner, director of the Austrian Institute for International Politics. An estimated 14 women and girls are known to have left Austria to fight in the Middle East, according to the interior ministry.
The US does not have available data on women and girls joining Isis fighters in Syria, a senior intelligence official said in an emailed statement. “We do not have numbers to share on the number of women linked to [Isis] or fighting for them,” the official said.
Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, a counter-terrorism expert at the Washington-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies, downplayed the issue in the US, saying the number of women and girls joining Isis was of concern, but not an epidemic. “It’s a threat, but it’s [one] among many potential threats coming out of Syria,” he said.
Karim Pakzad, of the French Institute of International and Strategic Relations, said some young women had “an almost romantic idea of war and warriors.
“There’s a certain fascination even with the head and throat-cutting. It’s an adventure.” Some may feel more respected and important than in their home countries, he added.
Samra Kesinovic, 16. Her school said she had been speaking out for ‘holy war’, writing ‘I love al-Qaida’ around the building. {this site does NOT consider her an innocent. She willingly joined their ranks, as have other teenage girls. Save your pity for the truly innocent!
But Shaista Gohir, of the UK Muslim Women’s Network, said little was known about the young women’s motivation or what happened to them after leaving home. “Some of these girls are very young and naive, they don’t understand the conflict or their faith, and they are easily manipulated. Some of them are taking young children with them; some may believe they are taking part in a humanitarian mission,” she said.
Social media plays a crucial role in recruiting young women to join Isis in the Middle East, according to many experts.
Some British women and girls have posted pictures of themselves carrying AK-47s, grenades and in one case a severed head, as they pledge allegiance to Isis. But they are also tweeting pictures of food, restaurants and sunsets to present a positive picture of the life awaiting young women in an attempt to lure more from the UK.
Mia Bloom, a security studies professor at Massachusetts University and author of Bombshell: Women and Terrorism, said the recruitment campaign painted a “Disney-like” picture of life in the caliphate. Some young women were offered financial incentives, such as travel expenses or compensation for bearing children.
Women already living amid Isis fighters used social media adeptly to portray Syria as a utopia and to attract foreign women to join their “sisterhood in the caliphate”, she said. “The idea of living in the caliphate is a very positive and powerful one that these women hold dear to their heart.”
But the reality was very different, she said. Both Bloom and Rolf Tophoven, director of Germany’s Institute for Terrorism Research and Security Policy, said reports indicated that women had been raped, abused, sold into slavery or forced to marry. “[Isis] is a strictly Islamist, brutal movement … the power, the leadership structure, are clearly a male domain,” said Tophoven.
Messages between a British Isis fighter in Syria and his common-law wife, read in a UK court last month, revealed that many fighters are taking several wives.
“For example, the United Nations last month estimated that [Isis] has forced some 1,500 women, teenage girls and boys into sexual slavery. Amnesty International released a blistering document noting that [Isis] abducts whole families in northern Iraq for sexual assault and worse.
“Even in the first few days following the fall of Mosul in June, women’s rights activists reported multiple incidents of [Isis] fighters going door to door, kidnapping and raping Mosul’s women.”Jihadi poster girls…..read the whole brewing phenomenon…
SO aside from the more publicized decapitations and throat slitting, equally horrific and compelling is the enslavement and torture perpetrated through sexual jihad, yes, those who are incontestably dragged kicking and screaming. Significantly, not only are Muslim-born girls willingly joining their ranks, but westerners are too. Call it the new teenage craze and rage!
ON the other hand, those who truly require the west’s assistance are girls who want nothing to do with jihad in any shape or form. Enter: the crimes against Yazidi females and others who are ensnared and captured in their Islamic web!
Speaking anonymously to Niqash, a publication focusing on Iraqi issues, doctors working in and around Mosul, the largest city in Iraq under Islamic State control, say Yazidis are among the most abused of those facing extinction at the hands of the terrorist group.
“It is a public, collective act of rape,” said one doctor, who remained anonymous for fear of retribution from Islamic State terrorists. “I treated about ten women and I was stunned to find one who was just 13 years old. Her mental and physical health were very bad,” he noted.
Another woman arrived in a such a state that doctors almost pronounced her dead. “She had been on a hunger strike after being raped by several of the IS gunmen and if she had not been brought to hospital, I am sure she would be dead by now,” the doctor said.
Another doctor in Mosul told the story of “Layla,” a Yazidi girl who is the focal point of the article, perhaps because hers was the story doctors could tell with the most detail. Layla was not a sex slave, but married off to a jihadist, one who forced her to convert to Islam and was clearly abusive. Layla was brought to live in the small town of Tal Afar, where her Arab neighbors noticed her deterioration, and finally one woman requested that her husband let her travel to Mosul for medical treatment. He, surprisingly, acquiesced, though demanding another Islamic State jihadist accompany the women.
A doctor described Layla as “pale and she had physical and psychological pain,” yet by virtue of being relatively intact, he said, “she was in better condition than some of the other Yazidi women we have treated here. Those women were beaten because they did not yield to the demands of the IS group members.”
The plight of Yazidi women during the Islamic State takeover of northern Iraq has become one of the most catastrophic humanitarian disasters of this war. The few that have escaped tell of a miserable existence in terrorist-run brothels, in which the jihadists force themselves by the dozen on the women, some barely adolescents. The brothels are often run by women, the wives of Islamic State jihadists or recruits to the Islamic State themselves, many from Western countries. While the number of Yazidis being subjected to this abuse remains unknown, it is estimated that it may be in the thousands, with reports of hundreds of Yazidi women being abducted in individual attacks on towns.
CONSEQUENTIALLY, the deafening silence from the leadership of the free world regarding their horrific plight, plus that of other victims from Islamic barbarism, will truly blow back into America and elsewhere.
Sentient and rational folks can no longer deny the obvious: the Iranian regime, when they exhort Death to Israel and Death to America, is indeed gunning for both nations. Their genocidal war inexorably twins the “Big Satan” and the “Little Satan”. Factual. Indisputable. Take them at their exact words.
The protests were unprecedented in their scale and scope, reported as the biggest anti-U.S. and anti-Israel rally in years. According to Iran’s official media, millions of people participated in these protests and demonstrations around the country, the largest turnout in years.
Additionally, the leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran have designated Nov. 4 as a “National Day against Global Arrogance.” While this week, tens of thousands of Iranians shouted “death to America” and “death to Israel.” The burning of American and Israeli flags permeated throughout the cities. Furthermore, effigies of American President Barack Obama, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry were held up high by protesters….
SO the urgent questions before Israelis and Americans – and the west at large – are: what exactly does Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s backroom deal with Iran’s mullahs portend? and, at the same time, how is PA (jihadi) “statehood” fitting into this same impending prism, both jointly and separately?
IN this regard, aside from Professor Louis Rene Beres, no one is more qualified to address these two synergistic global menaces. This too is a fact. And said qualifier is irrespective of his cornerstone at this site.
For Israeli planners, of course, this unique and unprecedented threat should be treated with appropriate intellectual respect. In essence, and contrary to a long-prevailing conventional wisdom, Iran and Palestine do not represent separate or unrelated hazards to Israel. Rather, they delineate intersecting, mutually reinforcing, and potentially existential perils. It follows, unambiguously, that Jerusalem must do whatever possible to remove or diminish expected dangers on both fronts, and also at the same time.
Among other things, Israel will need to further enhance its multi-layered active defenses. As long as incoming rocket aggressions from Gaza, West Bank, and/or Lebanon (Hezbollah) were to remain conventional, the inevitable “leakage” could still be considered tolerable. But once these rockets are fitted with chemical and/or biological materials, any such porosity would quickly prove “unacceptable.”
Facing Iranian nuclear missiles, Israel’s “Arrow” ballistic missile defense system would reasonably require a fully 100% reliability of interception. To achieve any such level of reliability, of course, would simply not be possible. Now, assuming that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already abandoned any residual hopes for a cost-effective eleventh-hour preemption against pertinent Iranian nuclear assets – an altogether credible assumption, at this late time – this means that Israeli defense planners must look instead to deterrence.
Because of the expectedly corrosive interactive effects involving Iranian nuclear weapons and Palestinian statehood, Israel will soon need to update and further refine its existing strategies of deterrence. In this connection, Israel’s leaders will have to accept that certain more-or-less identifiable leaders of these prospectively overlapping enemies might not always satisfy the complex criteria of rational behavior in world politics. In such improbable but still conceivable circumstances, assorted Jihadist adversaries in Palestine, Iran, Lebanon or elsewhere might sometime refuse to back away from contemplated aggressions against Israel.
By definition, moreover, these irrational enemies could exhibit such refusals in thoroughly considered anticipations of a fully devastating Israeli reprisal.
Sooner rather than later, and facing a new and incalculable synergy from Iranian and Palestinian aggressions, Israel will need to take appropriate steps to assure that: (1) it does not become the object of any non-conventional attacks from these enemies; and (2) it can successfully deter all possible forms of non-conventional conflict. To meet this ambitious goal, Jerusalem, inter alia, must retain its recognizably far-reaching conventional superiority in pertinent weapons and capable manpower, including effective tactical control over the Jordan Valley.
In principle, such retentions could reduce the overall likelihood of ever actually having to enter into any chemical, biological, or nuclear exchange with regional adversaries. Correspondingly, Israel should plan to begin to move incrementally beyond its increasingly perilous posture of “deliberate nuclear ambiguity.” By preparing to shift toward prudently selective and partial kinds of “nuclear disclosure” – in other words, by getting ready to take its “bomb” out of the “basement,” and in carefully controlled phases – Israel could better ensure that its relevant enemies will remain sufficiently subject to Israeli nuclear deterrence.
In matters of strategy, operational truth may sometimes emerge through apparent paradox. Israeli planners may soon have to understand that the efficacy or credibility of their country’s nuclear deterrence posture could sometime vary inversely with enemy views of Israeli nuclear destructiveness. However ironic or counter-intuitive, therefore, enemy perceptions of a too-large or too-destructive Israeli nuclear deterrent force, or of an Israeli force that is not sufficiently invulnerable to first-strike attacks, could sometime undermine this deterrence posture.
Also critical, of course, is that Israel’s current and prospective adversaries will see the Jewish State’s nuclear retaliatory forces as “penetration capable.” This means forces that seem assuredly capable of penetrating any Arab or Iranian aggressor’s active defenses. Naturally, a new state of Palestine would be non-nuclear itself, but it could still present a new “nuclear danger” to Israel by its impact upon the more generally regional “correlation of forces.” Thereby, Palestine could represent an indirect but nonetheless markedly serious nuclear threat to Israel.
There is more to be done. Israel should continue to strengthen its active defenses, but Jerusalem must also do everything possible to improve each critical and interpenetrating component of its nuanced deterrence posture. In this bewilderingly complex process of strategic dissuasion, the Israeli task may also require more incrementally explicit disclosures of nuclear targeting doctrine, and, accordingly, a steadily expanding role for cyber-defense and cyber-war. And even before undertaking such delicately important refinements, Israel will need to more systematically differentiate between adversaries that are presumably rational, irrational, or “mad.”
Overall, the success of Israel’s national deterrence strategies will be contingent upon an informed prior awareness of enemy preferences, and of specific enemy hierarchies of preferences. In this connection, altogether new and open-minded attention will need to be focused on the seeming emergence of “Cold War II” between Russia and the United States. This time around, for example, the relationship between Jerusalem and Moscow could prove helpful rather than adversarial.
For Jerusalem, it may even be reasonable to explore whether this once hostile relationship could turn out to be more strategically gainful for Israel, than its traditionally historic ties to the United States. Credo quia absurdum. At this transitional moment in geostrategic time, when Washington may need to align itself with Tehran and Damascus against Islamic State, virtually anything is possible.
It is essential that Israeli planners approach absolutely all prospective enemy threats as potentially interactive or synergistic. Even more specifically, if a soon-to-be-formalized state of Palestine does not readily find itself in the same ideological orbit as Iran – now a distinctly plausible conclusion, especially in view of steadily accelerating Shiite-Sunni fissions in the Middle East – the net threat to Israel could still become more perilous than the merely additive result of its area enemies. In approaching the near simultaneity of Iranian nuclear weapons and Palestinian statehood, Jerusalem must consciously bear in mind that the adversarial “whole” would be greater than the simple sum of its belligerent “parts.”

ONLY in a totalitarian regime would a leader demand an omerta on news, especially that which is germane to the health, welfare and safety of the citizens. This is not a fairy tale, but the way police states conduct national business. Pravda-like.
BUT no one should feign shock when emperor-like edictsare handed down from Barack HUSSEIN Obama, similar to the recent immigration putsch. Lovely.
DOES anyone believe the above is just smack-talk, and that Demsters are not vying for a TOTAL shredding of the Constitution, led under the banner of their Dear Leader, The One? Think again.
Brazile supported her argument with an article writing for Salon.com, which calls for a new Constitution that will outlaw campaign contributions of any kind. This is not the only argument that has surfaced about “campaign finance reform”, which is really intended to shut down Republican campaigns.
Of course, the changes that Brazile is suggesting lean heavily towards the left, giving them control of the elections. In other words, the Constitution would only create bias for Democrats.
What do you think of the new call to action?
ALONG this totalitarian bent, warnings have been issued, time and again, from this site, even though some weren’t (still aren’t) so pleased with said outings. Oh well. That’s the way it goes.
WARNING ONE:
HOW much worse can it get, when even a beheading won’t move the slavish so-called mainstream media off Obama’s scripted message, thus, reporting on an ace as an ace and a (terrorist) spade as a spade, admitting: yes, while chopping off heads their main theme is, as always, Allah is great! Why is it so hard to report on the most critical aspect of all, Islam’s tie-in? Or, do they want to be called media whores and that is that?
BUT, to be fair, even though the media is receiving threats to stand down, so what? This site receives threats as a regular course of outing this and that. Therefore, they too must man and woman up and just start doing their jobs! Otherwise, they too will become complicit in whatever disasters ensue. Yes, they will.
Individuals and member organizations of the American media were threatened with FTC and FCC investigation if information gathered by Sheriff Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse concerning the forgery of Barack Obama’s long form birth certificate were passed on to the American public.
It was Posse lead investigator Mike Zullo who made this stunning revelation, stating “During our investigation, we actually were told [that media] had been threatened with FTC investigations. Commentators [had been] threatened with their jobs.”
And Jerome Corsi, author of “Where’s the birth certificate,” the book whose imminent publication was responsible for forcing Barack Obama to quickly create and place the fraudulent long form birth certificate on the White House web site, has said that “Testimony is being developed that the White House is intimidating, in a systematic way, the mainstream media and if any broadcasters dare go into this birther story, they’re going to risk FCC investigations… people are going to have careers ruined… thrown off the air.”
Zullo went on to say the threats actually caused some individuals to “…quit their positions over safety concerns for their families.”
Those who tuned in to the web-cast of the Cold Case Posse report will recall that the scant few media members in attendance made it their business to represent the President rather than report on the information presented about the fraudulent birth certificate. Each “reporter” in his turn questioned the motives of Sheriff Arpaio and the political leanings of Mike Zullo, clearly far more interested in developing a tale of “right-wing conspiracy” than in the facts reported by Posse investigators.
And as only the internet would make the American people aware of what is arguably the most extraordinary crime committed against the American public in the past century, Zullo and Corsi teamed up to create an e-book which would make known all of the pertinent facts and findings of the investigation–facts which had of course been blacked out by the legacy media.
Naturally, the writing of the e-book has led to accusations of profiteering by Zullo and Corsi. In fact an AP article accuses the pair of using the Arpaio investigation “…as a promotional tool to sell [their] books and theories.” And although nowhere in the short article does the author present any of the facts supporting the claims of the Arpaio-led group, the AP hack does offer an Obama spokesman ample opportunity to ridicule the Posse’s work by comparing it to “the TV series ‘The X-Files.”
The entire episode of media and White House corruption has been summed up by on-line newsman Jeff Crouere as he writes, “Such a bombshell should have led the national news coverage throughout the country. Instead, it was completely ignored by a corrupt network of media elites who are decidedly liberal and wholeheartedly support Obama’s re-election.” “The vast majority of the American people have been denied the truth by a media who want to shield Obama.”
And apparently those select few members of the media actually interested in reporting the truth were intimidated out of doing so by minions of the Manchurian Candidate.
SO the latest silencing of the media certainly didn’t come out of left field, so to speak. Agreed?
In case you haven’t noticed… Media outlets are no longer reporting on suspected Ebola cases at the urging of the Obama administration. Downtrend reported:
There is a reason why Obama didn’t pick an Ebola Czar with any actual medical experience when he tabbed longtime Democrat party hack Ron Klain who is a lobbyist. The real danger was never that the foolish policies of Barry and the boys were exposing Americans to Ebola but rather the political implications of it all. So the sudden departure of Ebola stories from the state-corporate media doesn’t pass the smell test. Interestingly the website of Forbes has a story that reports:
The Associated Press and other press outlets have agreed not to report on suspected cases of Ebola in the United States until a positive viral RNA test is completed.
That damning line is buried deep in the article so anyone can be excused for not noticing it – they aren’t supposed to
OMINOUSLY, tragically and incontrovertibly, the “fourth estate” has become akin to a pool of smitten courtesan’s within the Emperor-in-Chief’s courtyard. And the more outrageous his behavior, the captured media, his coterie, have his back, all the while they stab American citizens in theirs!
WHEN will enough be enough for patriots to proclaim: we are not going to take it anymore?
KNOW this: once liberty is gone the extracted price is incalculable!
AS a side note, and not to roam too far afield mentally, does anyone believe that teaching kiddies in the 4th/5th grade about the “safe” practice of anal sex came about out of thin air?
BUT never mind their denials…blah, blah…now that Chicago’s social engineers (of all places, what a shock) got caught with their pants down. Well, unabashedly, they claim it was a mistake that said material got included in the curriculum. Yes, Snopes chimed in and reiterated that it was half true and half false. Factually, Snopes has been known to fudge certain truths and to label them “rumors”. And so it shall be believed. Decreed.
STILL, before we delve into the heart of the matter, it is imperative that the overall public takes note: the mocking of Christianity and Judaism, the cornerstones of traditional America, became a core component to the purposeful destruction since the 1950’s. Moreover, its disastrous results will be the same, whether one is a firm traditional believer or a secular patriot. Don’t forget this.
Read the excerpt from the New York Times which was first posted by The Gateway Pundit:
Some of the national leaders met with President Obama on Nov. 5 for a gathering that included a conversation about Ferguson.
According to the Rev. Al Sharpton, who has appeared frequently in St. Louis with the Brown family and delivered a speech at Mr. Brown’s funeral, Mr. Obama “was concerned about Ferguson staying on course in terms of pursuing what it was that he knew we were advocating. He said he hopes that we’re doing all we can to keep peace.”
Protest leaders said wholesale change was ultimately what they were demanding, though not all agreed on what that meant. Some called for the removal of the Ferguson police chief or the entire department. Others said they want the police to wear cameras; civilian review boards for all police shootings; or a requirement that ethnic and racial makeup of police departments match the communities they serve.
“It must be changing how police and citizens relate to one another,” said Michael T. McPhearson, the co-chairman of the Don’t Shoot Coalition. “We’re calling for police accountability, police transparency, changing how the police do their work. If there’s an indictment or if there’s not an indictment, we still have that work to do.”
Al Sharpton, a White House advisor, was in Ferguson until the day of the election. He met with Barack Obama the day after the election and has returned to Ferguson to foment rebellion. He is being guided by the president of the United States.
Barack Obama would fit in with these extremists or with the Occupiers. Like them, he wants a national movement to bring in his vision of a new America, one that meets his requirements for social justice. He is guiding this. It’s not about Darren Wilson or Michael Brown, it’s about his movement to fundamentally change America.
Ferguson organizers want their rioting and protests to lead to a national movement. Some don’t want violence, others do. “One group has said on Twitter that it was offering a reward for information on the whereabouts of the officer, Darren Wilson, and, at another point, that it was “restocking on 7.62 & 9 mm ammo,” according to The New York Times.
We continually hear that Michael Brown was unarmed but he was armed with his fists. He was a big man, who towered over the officer he allegedly attacked. That’s irrelevant anyway. Michael Brown is being used.
Fifty organizations have joined a “Don’t Shoot Coalition” and many won’t rule out violence and looting. Many are Muslim and communist rabble rousers. The occupiers and anonymous are involved – all hoping to bring down the country. There are racist groups like the New Black Panthers and there are the gang members.
Captain Ron Johnson has marched with and met with all of them, foolishly giving these thugs credibility and legitimacy.
There are some actual protesters who aren’t thugs but they’ve been completely overshadowed and their concerns minimized.
Umar Lee, a Muslim and a Ferguson activist, was arrested recently for threatening to behead someone.
There is a strong Muslim, anti-Jewish presence at these events as there was in Occupy Wall Street.
ALL of the abovecoincides with his illegal gutting of the Constitution, and it is a step by step process. Essentially, one must comprehend that rampant chaos plays into the hands of all those who seek to bring down America, with Obama Inc. as the hatchet men. The undertakers.
The president calmly explained in a 16-minute speech – subtitled in Spanish – the parameters of what angry Republicans are calling a lawless ‘amnesty.’
‘We’re going to offer the following deal,’ he said: ‘If you’ve been in America for more than five years; if you have children who are American citizens or legal residents; if you register, pass a criminal background check, and you’re willing to pay your fair share of taxes – you’ll be able to apply to stay in this country temporarily, without fear of deportation.’
‘You can come out of the shadows and get right with the law.’
‘Tonight President Obama issued an oral royal decree that will be followed by a written regal decree, as any good monarch would do,’ Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert jabbed in a statement.
‘This unlawful, blatant executive action would legalize more than 5 million people here illegally. This president is single-handedly creating a constitutional crisis and hurting the citizens he took an oath to protect and defend.’
Utah Sen. Mike Lee, another tea party-linked lawmaker, called the president’s speech ‘a desperate attempt to remain relevant…..’
By that time, Republicans will control both houses of Congress and may take action to reverse the policy.
‘The president has decided to defy the American people, ignore the election results, and usurp the legislative process,’ Lee said. ‘This act demonstrates he respects neither election outcomes, nor the rule of law.’
But the president played on Americans’ heartstrings in what sounded at times like one of his 2008 campaign speeches.
The immigration debate, he said, is ‘about who we are as a country, and who we want to be for future generations.’
‘Are we a nation that tolerates the hypocrisy of a system where workers who pick our fruit and make our beds never have a chance to get right with the law?’ he asked. ‘Or are we a nation that gives them a chance to make amends, take responsibility, and give their kids a better future?’
‘Are we a nation that accepts the cruelty of ripping children from their parents’ arms? Or are we a nation that values families, and works to keep them together?’
The email, which was obviously sent to rally pro-amnesty activists, arrived in the inboxes of reporters from major outlets, including the New York Times and USA Today, before Hauser followed up with a second email asking the recipients to “please ignore” his previous message.
Obama will also likely allow immigrants currently in the U.S. illegally to remain in this country and could announce new border security measures. Reports suggest the only deportation efforts Obama is interested in pursuing involve illegals convicted of serious crimes.
ON the other hand, if millions of Americans heed the call of traditional America, there is a possibility to save the Republic. Otherwise, fuggedaboutit!
MOST urgently – as the above youtube advocates – the Criminal-in-Chief must be arrested through the right afforded to patriots via the legal vehicle of a citizen’s arrest.
In the United States, civilians are empowered to stop perpetrators in the act of a serious crime and use reasonable force to hold them until an officer of the law arrives on the scene. The conditions under which this is permitted vary from state to state, so it’s important to understand the laws in your region in case you are ever in the position to stop a criminal. Read on to learn more about how to make a citizen’s arrest in the United States.
AND what is more serious, more unlawful, than the total usurping of the Constitution?? But never mind…the Emperor-in-Chief waxed BIBLICAL: Obama quoted the Bible, saying that ‘Scripture tells us that we shall not oppress a stranger, for we know the heart of a stranger – we were strangers once, too’.
Hmm…well, well, even as he continuously strips America of its Christian and Judeo moorings!
THOSE who believe that there is a whit of diff between the Islamic monsters who are hacking, bombing, or otherwise slaughtering Jews in Jerusalem/Israel, when juxtaposed against the head chopping ISIS, yes, they are the ones who are hallucinating. Delusional.
BUT let’s get back to the root reason why ISIS will NEVER be defeated with a Jihadi-in-Chief at the helm of the free world. Just listen to his reaction to the LATEST Islamic carnage in Jerusalem, and you will realize, once and for all, that he sees barbarians as morally equivalent to those they slaughter in the name of Allah! Therefore, relying on him to save America from ISIS (or another hydra from the jihadi tree) is akin to expecting serial killers to take pity on the victims they butcher, but on steroids.
NEVERTHELESS, there are some, though a paltry few, American leaders who see things for what they are; good vs evil; light vs darkness; east vs west…
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) issued a powerful statement on the attack, in which he made the point that Israel needs more than just sympathy at a time like this; they need to know the U.S. government is on their side against savagery, rather than taking an impartial, disinterested brokerage position:
“Evil was unleashed in Jerusalem today, as two Palestinian terrorists armed with handguns, knives and hatchets attacked a morning prayer service. They worked at close range, shooting into the crowd and hacking at heads and arms of worshippers with their axes while shouting ‘Allahu Akbar.’ Witnesses reported that the blood of the victims ‘flowed like water.’ Some dozen people, including two policemen, were wounded in the onslaught before the terrorists were neutralized, and four men lay dead. Prayer shawls and tefilin have become shrouds for the devout, whose only crime was the peaceful practice of their Jewish faith.
“Israel mourns for Rabbi Moshe Twersky. For Rabbi Avraham Shmuel Goldberg. For Rabbi Kalman Levine. For Rabbi Aryeh Kupinsky. But Israel does not mourn alone, for all four were not only Israeli—Rabbi Avraham Goldberg was a dual Israeli-UK citizen while Rabbis Moshe Twersky, Kalman Levine and Aryeh Kupinsky were all dual Israeli-US citizens.
“These men were not victims of a senseless tragedy, they were deliberately targeted in carefully-planned attack. The Palestinian terrorists, incubated in a culture of violence and hate, were intent on killing Jews and they singled out men of deep religious faith who would not be armed to ensure maximum casualties. Their despicable actions have been hailed as ‘heroic’ by Palestinian groups such as Hamas and Fatah that are actively inciting these attacks.
“All our friends in Israel have our sympathies in the aftermath of this atrocity, but they need more than that. They need an unequivocal statement of solidarity, a recognition that America is not a disinterested bystander in this battle. Our citizens are dying too, targeted by these same vicious murderers, and our good friend and ally should have not only our prayers but also our unequivocal support as the Israeli people continue the fight against the terrorists who have declared war on both our nations.”
JUMPING from there to here, how exactly is ISIS making headway in the U.S., and under the watchful gaze of Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s DHS too?
CONSEQUENTIALLY, when the fish stinks from the head up – as demonstrated through an Islamist top honcho at DHS, Mohamed Elibiary …yes, supposedly he “resigned” from DHS, but let’s not digress – there isn’t a snowball chance in hell that every manner of Islamic jihad hasn’t been granted open sesame. You see, within an Islamist’s mind’s eye, jihad is jihad is jihad, regardless which hydra or “lone wolf” carries it out. Mind you, beheading is okey dokey, as long as it is done for the establishment of the ummah.
SAY what? Absolutely, in order to terrorize the infidel into accepting their subjugation or death, said methods are prescribed. As such, this Shariah mandated tactic is not gonna make Obama Inc. turn squeamish, nor have second thoughts. Get this straight.
BUT make no mistake, U.S. military heads are beginning to raise their heads out of the sand, and few really know what the end result will be. After all, this is the first time that the military has been abandoned by its Commander-in-Chief, and such a (betrayal) scenario is not a recipe for “yes sir” responses.
Joseph Miller, the pseudonym for a ranking Department of Defense official who has served in Iraq and Afghanistan, wrote in The Daily Caller Tuesday, partially in reaction to a statement released by White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest which said that the decision for American military forces to leave Iraq “was predicated on the will of the Iraqi security forces to fight for their country…….”
IN tandem, so-called foot soldiers, the boots on the ground, are becoming increasing agitated at the lawlessness of the regime. Hence, there is talk about a coup against the Commander-in-Chief, and this is something which is unheard of in U.S. military circles. Rest assured, when a leader’s legitimacy is questioned, all options are on the table.
According to a growing number of U.S. military leaders, the White House is making sure that the commanders conducting the air campaigns against the Islamic State and other top brass who are attempting to train Syrian rebels are being kept within ridiculously tight constraints by micromanagement tactics from the National Security Council, led by Susan Rice. According to multiple reports, the NSC and the White House are doing more harm than good by their lack of ability to make what should be easy, straight-forward decisions – essentially crippling military leaders’ ability to be successful in fighting Islamic State terrorists on the ground…..
MOST significantly, the fact of the matter is that military honchos are becoming increasingly restless, and for more than one reason. But regardless of anything else, the ones on the steadiest march are jihadi killers and they will not cease on their own. Not only that, but knowing that the Jihadi-in-Chief has their backs, well, it makes the following threats VERY doable and ominous:
“We Will Begin To Slaughter Your People On Your (American) Streets.”
ISIS is proud of perfecting slaughter to instill terror in the hearts of their enemies.
Thus, Zionists in Israel are listing the following:

ALL of the above are core components to this blog.
RESULTANT, let’s be inordinately clear: this site (which reaches millions) has OFFICIALLY DECLARED WAR on all self-identified “Palestinians” in Israel, particularly those who reside in East Jerusalem (for the most part, no less, they receive full national benefits via Israeli identity cards going back decades…ungrateful bastards) and in Judea and Samaria; the Jewish historical and biblical heartland. Yes, those territories which have been under the PA/Fatah’s occupation forces, ever since the accursed Oslo Peace (Death) Accords!
NOW before we get to the latest (from a list of) murderous attacks on Jews in Jerusalem – the Jewish people’s eternal capital – it is imperative to remind the readers what was noted in an interview, back in April 2013, regarding the same hostile self-proclaimed “Palestinian” Arabs within Israel’s midst. Indeed, the leadership’s continuous kid glove treatment towards them was front and center!
The Inquisitr Interviews Adina Kutnicki: The Reality Of Life For An Israeli Patriot
No other nation on the planet would tolerate hostile foreign governments undermining their national sovereignty and allow their citizens to accept money from those governments to attack the policies of their own country. Has the government of Israel lost its mind and its Jewish soul?
Is it now a crime in Israel to stand up for your country in the face of endless Muslim / Arab aggression and demand the government stop compromising with people who want to commit genocide against the Jewish people?
Adina Kutnicki: The Netanyahu government is emblematic of the disparate treatment meted out towards nationalist Jews, in contrast to kid glove treatment reserved for leftists and Arabists. It is entirely befuddling to those who are convinced that Israel has a nationalist leadership. While there are nationalists within, the overall policy is far from “right wing”. The left has a stranglehold on the justice/court system (Tzipi Livni, the current AG, is an avowed leftist), and its state prosecutors are beyond the pale. They haven’t met a Jewish nationalist who is not “guilty” and in need of “re-education”. Again, much of this lies within the scope of Israel’s broken parliamentary system of governance, whereby MK’s are not held accountable, hence, the lack of responsibility to a particular constituency.
As a matter of record, on behalf of my work with HONENU Legal Defense Organization – an Israeli non-profit designated to defend Israeli soldiers and citizens, free of charge, from legal traps which ensnare “settlers” and those who support their efforts – a series of investigations ensued. A centerpiece expose’ detailed a stunning indictment of Israel’s General Security Service (GSS), and as a reference point, its equivalent arm in the U.S. is the FBI. Instead of utilizing its frontal assault against a dangerous Arab fifth column, both inside the “green line” and in Judea and Samaria, it expends huge resources to entrap “settlers’, in the expectation that they will give up their defense of the heartland and just go “home” within Israel proper. Good luck with that. “Administrative Detention Orders Against Jewish Nationalists” (October 2011) delineates said internal struggle. Aside from its posting at HONENU, it can be found at the Freeman Center For Strategic Studies/The Freeman Blog. It is not easily digestible, so I apologize in advance for any ensuing heartburn.
I will leave it up to the readers to make their own determination, as to whether the leadership has lost its mind, its Jewish soul or both. It’s not a hard calculus to discern.
Wolff Bachner:On the matter of Jerusalem, I can not imagine a more terrible fate for the Jewish people, other than another Holocaust, than to see Jerusalem divided again. Not only would it cut the heart out of the Jewish spirit, but it would divide the tiny nation of Israel across the middle into two smaller, indefensible sections. Is it truly possible that Israel would actually give up half of Jerusalem to become the capital of Palestine?
Adina Kutnicki: As to Jerusalem, the heart and soul of Zion (in the same realm as Judea and Samaria), whither it goes, so too does the fate of Israel, as well as the Jewish people. It is inconceivable that Israel would survive without Jerusalem intact, and dare I suggest, there would be little reason left for its existence, sans an intact eternal capital. It is one tragedy if enemies capture it from Jewish hands, but it is a wholly different paradigm if Israel’s leaders surrender it on their own. So the question still hangs: Are Israel’s leaders capable of dividing holy Zion? One would hope and pray this is not the case, but the jury is still out. Personally, I would put nothing past some of the leadership and they bear close scrutiny. Very close…..{read the whole thing}
IN this regard, a traitorous, murderous and burgeoning fifth column is rearing its head all over Israel, worsening with each and every appeasement measure utilized to tame the jihadi beasts. This applies to internal and external Arabs/Muslims alike.
Precisely such a perilous predicament is now beginning to develop before our eyes.
Across every border Israel shares with its Arab neighbors, within its own borders, and far removed from them, a formidable range of threats – from damaging economic sanctions and international isolation, through murderous terrorist attacks, jihadi insurgency and domestic insurrection, to the specter of weapons of mass destruction and a nuclear Iran – is coalescing with disturbing speed into a multi-faceted menace that jeopardizes the survival of the Jewish nation-state to a degree arguably unprecedented since its inception…..
As daunting as the preceding catalogue of dangers is, it is hardly an exhaustive list of the perils facing the Jewish state today. Not a word has been mentioned about the possibility of a third intifada on the part of the Palestinians in Judea-Samaria or a renewed conflagration in Gaza. Perhaps the gravest threat of all is the prospect of insurrection and revolt by the Arab citizens of Israel – if they sense weakness and vacillation on the part of the Jews……{read the whole thing}.
BACK to the latest murderous carnage in Jerusalem, made that much easier by the oft-described “hands-in-the-pockets” political orders handed down to Israel’s security forces, in relation to East Jerusalem’s hotbeds of terror and elsewhere. Indeed, Jerusalem, Israel, is on fire!
Cousins Uday and Ghassan Abu Jamal murdered four Jews praying at the synagogue in Jerusalem’s Har Nof neighborhood and a police officer with hatchets, knives and guns before being killed in a gunfight with police.
“This family is very linked to terror and it didn’t surprise anyone,” reported King. “They live no more than 200 meters from the same lowly terrorist who committed the massacre at Merkaz Harav (yeshiva). This is a family connected to its very core and in its blood to terror, it isn’t the first generation but rather the third generation of terrorists….
and throughout Israel, these enemies of the State have free reign to crisscross throughout all of Israel, and live in spitting distance to Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem to commit murder and mayhem! Can you imagine allowing such a powder keg to develop, yet still dare to represent oneself as the leadership of the Jewish national homeland?
“We are viewing this as a terrorist attack,” police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. {blogger’s note: no shit Sherlock(s)!}
According to police, the two suspected Palestinian terrorists, armed with a gun and axes, attacked worshipers after entering a synagogue on Agasi Street in the capital’s Har Nof neighborhood. Two police officers quickly arrived to the scene and exchanged fire with the suspects, killing them.
Both suspects were from east Jerusalem.
Large numbers of police and emergency teams were at the site.
Medical workers evacuated three seriously injured people and one lightly wounded to Hadassah University Medical Center – Ein Kerem, MDA said. Meanwhile, Shaare Zedek Medical Center in the capital was treating one seriously wounded person and one moderately hurt.
There were roughly 30 people in the synagogue and the terrorists attacked then with axes, knives and pistols,” said Rosenfeld.
“Police responded quickly and killed the terrorists in a gun fight that left both officers injured, one critically. We have a forensics team in the synagogue now,” the police spokesman said.
Rosenfeld added that heightened security has been implemented throughout the capital.
MDA paramedic Betzalel Ben Hemo arrived at the scene of the attack and began treating the victims. “We found a man outside, fully conscious, with three gunshot wounds, he told The Jerusalem Post. “We evacuated him from the scene, and asked him to breath slowly,” he said.
The gunshot wound victim managed to tell Ben Hemo that there are no more terrorists active in the area. “We rushed him to the Sha’arei Tzedek Medical Center,” the paramedic said.
“Unfortunately, we have recently been getting used to these scenes, which remind us of past terror attacks. They are returning with full force,” he added.{blogger’s note: and why would any normal leadership get USED to terror in their midst??}
The attack marks the latest incident in a flare of violence that has surged over the past few weeks in Jerusalem.
MIND you, other than the requisite bullshit and machismo threats to “get tough” with terrorists, nothing will change, unless the majority Zionist public forces them to conduct a volte-face.
“We will take all actions necessary,” Aharonovich said. “We’ll be in all the villages and we will do everything to provide security to residents. If we have to, we will add more security forces to the city.”
HERE’S another blah, blah knee jerk leadership response:
Harrowing images from the scene show men still wrapped in bloodied prayer shawls, their tefillin (phylacteries) scattered on the floor.
In a BBC news interview following the attack, responding to a Palestinian spokesperson who railed about “Jewish murderers” in Jerusalem, Economics Minister Naftali Bennett (Jewish Home) sought to put the record straight.
Echoing other Israeli leaders, he blamed Palestinian Authority head Mahmoud Abbas for inciting attacks such as the one this morning.
“Abu Mazen himself incites and tells the Arab ‘take arms, fight the Jews’,”Bennett said, in a reference to several statements in recent weeks in which Abbas called on Palestinians to use violence.
Bennett then produced a picture of one of the victim’s murdered in this morning’s attack, in an attempt to make his point.
“This individual came this morning to pray just like many Muslims and many Jews went to pray this morning. The Muslims went home safe but four Jews will never come home again.”
His interviewer was less than pleased with the visual aid – despite it being no more graphic than countless other images of injured Palestinians regularly given airtime. “Sorry we don’t want to actually see that picture, could you take that down,” she said.
Taking to Facebook after the interview, Bennett said his actions during the interview were a response to the previous interviewees’ provocative remarks.
“Yes, I will show this, Mrs. British interviewer,” read the statement.
“Now in an interview with the BBC I went on after a Palestinian spokesperson, who told of Jewish murderers in Jerusalem (!)
“In response I showed the interviewer who is murdering whom. She requested I stop showing the picture. I will never stop.”
TAKE a peek at what happened to a Jewish nationalist leader who was protesting the murderous attacks…he got arrested!!
WHILE it is inherently the case that it is impossible to stop all terror attacks from taking place, it is also absolutely a fact that failing to impose the harshest of consequences on those (as to their immediate families, expulsion from Israel as an effective punishment) who commit, materially support and otherwise aid said barbarism amounts to GRAVE dereliction of duty.
IT is entirely within the leadership’s ability to LOCK DOWN E. Jerusalem, and to go house to house to uproot each and every Arab terrorist, killing them, if it comes to it. In fact, the entire capital is barely 49 square miles. Come on…whom are the leadership kidding!
BESIDES, said proactive approach would not only save Jewish lives, but serve as a clear warning (after all, they are always blowing smoke about their ability to achieve deterrence) to the increasingly belligerent Arab population throughout Israel, duly delineated by Prof Louis Rene Beres, another close contact. Not only that, but PM Netanyahu knows this can be done, as a successful uprooting of terror was ultimately accrued in 2002. Recall, ex PM Sharon was finally forced to move his rear end into high gear after murderous terror reigned non-stop under his watch. Belatedly, Operation Defensive Shield was initiated and it was wildly successful in taming the PA Arab beasts!
IN this regard, each and every Jewish death lands at PM Netanyahu’s door (and his compliant ministers, despite their shrill outrage after each and every terror attack), for it is only he who could declare: WAR on murderous E Jerusalem Arabs, and others within Israel who identify with the enemy, is declared! And if this means total expulsion, they should consider themselves lucky. This investigative journalist can think of other punishments.
Evil: Arabs in Jerusalem wield axes and guns in a macabre ceremony celebrating the attacks
REST assured, rivers of Jewish blood will be avenged. Their innocent deaths SCREAM to the heavens for justice and this will ultimately be the outcome, one way or another, even if the leadership has to be brought on board kicking and screaming.
LET those who disagree fall on their faces and twist in the wind. This American-Israeli Jewish Zionist doesn’t care what they approve of, or disapprove.
SIGNIFICANTLY, right wing national Zionists are increasingly up in arms. They can only be pushed so far. Yes, they will “take care of business”.
E. Jerusalem’s monstrous murderers: Uday & Ghassan Abu Jamal.
AS an American-Israeli, and a committed Jewish Zionist living in Israel, one would believe that there are more than enough localized menaces to angst over, leaving little time or inclination to take on U.S. leftist-driven Christian leaders and their flock. Not only that, particularly since the Mid East is on fire and encircling Israel in a vise-like grip, as demonstrably proven – time and again – by a close associate, Dr. Martin Sherman, it is admittedly strange to make mention of this or that Chapel’s leadership. In this regard, the real question is: why should what happens in a U.S. Chapel be more than a blip on this site’s radar? A fair supposition, but deadly inaccurate.
INTRINSICALLY, it is impossible to beat back the enemy at hand, when the political, military, academic and religious leadership of the free world refuse to identify the cancer in their midst. What’s what and who’s who. Deadly.
REGARDLESS, the leftist menace has been a focal point at this site many times – even from its inception, as shown in the above link – and for good reason. Basically, it is their civil society elitists (throughout the west, most notably in America and Israel) who set the tone for policy making, irrespective of the majority public’s wishes. Yet why does this matter?
Williams talked to FRONTLINE about how he and his team found the story, how they verified the footage, and how they tracked down witnesses to corroborate the evidence.
“When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks,” says an ayah, or verse in Sura (chapter) 47.
Sura 8:12 reads: “I will cast dread into the hearts of the unbelievers. Strike off their heads, then, and strike off all of their fingertips.”
Moreover, decapitations aka beheadings are also described in some of the earliest histories of Islam.
For the historical record, Muhammad’s earliest biographer, Ibn-Ishaq, describes how the prophet approved the beheadings of between 600 and 900 men from the Jewish Banu Qurayza tribe following the Battle of the Trench. History not only repeats, but followers of Islam are still implementing centuries-old “practices”, as if civilized society passed them by. It has.
Not only that, but it was a common form of execution under the Ottoman Empire, where it was the “primary form of symbolic aggression among Ottoman soldiers”, according to historian James J Reid. Graphically-speaking, let this tidbit sink in, in so far as Turkey’s President Erdogan (ex PM) is actively planning to resurrent the (reportedly benign…as if) Ottoman Empire. His main helpmates are the Muslim Brotherhood – with Hamas as its front-arm – and Barack HUSSEIN Obama. You read this “news” right here.
As mentioned, Saudi Arabia is neck-deep into the “art form” where a strict interpretation of Sharia law is enforced. Beheading is the form of punishment for a range of crimes, including drug running and apostasy, with approximately 80 people believed to have been beheaded by the kingdom last year. Oh boy, the bitter fruits of Wahhabism.
Ayers summed up the organization’s ideology as follows: “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents.”
With regard to those Americans who might refuse to embrace communism, Ayers and his comrades — including Bernardine Dohrn, Mark Rudd, Linda Evans, Jeff Jones, and numerous others — proposed that such resisters should be sent to re-education camps and killed. The terrorists estimated that it would be necessary to eliminate some 25 million people in this fashion, so as to advance the revolution.
NOW that the red/green alliance is seen for what it is, let’s get to the “Chapel”, hopefully, on time:
A Christian man named Chris Garcia was thrown out of Calvary Chapel for wanting to talk about the Islamic persecution of Christians. Mr. Garcia was kicked out of Calvary Chapel Montebello in California by pastors Pancho Juarez, Carlos Mendoza, John Paul Jones because he was urging the church to bring awareness about Saeed Abedini, a fellow Calvary Chapel pastor who is now in prison in Iran for preaching Christianity to Muslims. Shoebat.com did an interview with Chris Garcia and he explained the story:
ON the other hand, if sissy pants leftists – be they Christians or Jews – need some lessons in how to grow a pair, well, perhaps they just need to take a page out of the following playbook. But for those who just don’t give a damn, they too will reap the Islamic whirlwind. Guaranteed.
In another development, a combined team of local hunters, civilian Joint Task Force (JTF) and the military on Wednesday recaptured Mubi, killing no fewer than 100 Boko Haram insurgents in the process and wounding a good number of them.
A source from Mubi said the combined force launched a sustained offensive on Wednesday night which also led to the recovery of five Nigerian Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC) seized by the dreaded Islamic sects in the area.
The source said there were jubilations galore within Mubi as people were seen trooping out in hundreds to show solidarity to the local hunters and civilian JTF following their consistency in chasing out the insurgents from Mubi town.
It was gathered that the 234 Army Battalion as well as other security formations in the area which hitherto fell into the hands of the insurgents had been recaptured and the soldiers were seen trooping in and out of the barracks taking strategic positions against any eventuality.
Daily Independent gathered that all the flags hoisted by the insurgents in some government quarters were destroyed and replaced by Nigerian flags while the Emir’s palace converted to their “Madinatul Islam’ has now been taken over by the Nigerian team.
The source said with the development, the combined fighting spirit should not be stopped until the criminals are completely chased out of Mubi, Michika, and Madagali, adding that any attempt to pause would be more dangerous as it would give the insurgents opportunity to regroup and give them a hot chase.
Others who spoke in Yola but preferred to remain anonymous opined that, “anybody found within the Boko Haram’s vicinity should also be flushed out since most of them are serving as agents to the Islamic sects.”
Corroborating, Baba Dauda, a local hunter said the hunters made up their mind to fight because the insurgents had been maiming too many people in the area.
“We had to wake up and fight the bastards that keep plaguing our societies killing innocent souls.
“People should brace up and start fighting them, we killed many of them. We are not afraid of being killed,” he added.
The state co-ordinator of Civilian Joint Task Force, Bako Goni, said over 2,000 people, including youth vigilantes, local hunters, retired military, police and para-military operatives, artisans and petty traders have signed up to confront Boko Haram insurgents in the state.
RESOLVED, a historical memo must be sent to the following addresses: avowed Islamists; Christian counterparts; leftist Jews; assorted limp-wristed Israeli leaders, and to all those who continuously, obsessively opine about the so-called “Palestinian” nation as the agitating sore point in the Mid East “conflict”, that which reverberates into the west. Poppycock.
SO for the actual historical record, pay heed to Arab leaders who have already spilled the beans, and who can’t place the genie back into the bottle, try as they might.
Hamas minister admits: The Arabs Are Aliens In The Land Of Israel!
BASICALLY, a concomitant outgrowth of “see no (Islamic) evil, hear no (Islamic) evil”, has allowed untold millions of innocents to be in their cross hairs, so much so that sensitive security clearances are given to Muslims in America, even those who have access to jumbo jets etc! Haven’t airline employers been told that Muslims (followers of Islam) are agitating to bring the west down?? Isn’t bowing down to Allah the reason that body parts are groped by the TSA? Besides, why not place caution above all else? Or is pretending to be “tolerant” worth the incalculable costs? Apparently.
CONSEQUENTIALLY, knowing what we know about Islam’s barbaric dictates, how intrinsic is it to expose their leftist collaborators, being that they help wield the west’s forceps in tandem with Islam’s followers?
IT is exceedingly difficult to shock this investigative journalist with reports on Islamic barbarism, try as some might. Sicken, yes. But shock, not so much.
SO it is important to note the following: each and every heinous act perpetrated within Shariah law controlled areas does not have a fixed time or address. In other words, for time immemorial, whatever happens in Islamic lands outside the west, sooner or later, will come to a theater near you, if Shariah becomes the law of the land. Don’t believe otherwise.
NOW it doesn’t matter that the aforementioned impaling was done to a fellow Islamic jihadist. For the issue is very stark: whichever forms of slaughter they inflict upon each other, rest assured, the ante will be upped in western captured areas.
BUT just to remind westerners what they have done in the name of Allah, let’s have a brief rundown:
Rundown One:
FOR years on end, Islamists have been slowly purging the Mid East of its Christian population. Nevertheless, their brazen swathe has reached a crescendo, ever since Barack HUSSEIN Obama upended the region to an unprecedented level of chaos.
Rundown Two:
AND what else can go wrong when “Pure Islam” mandates to all non-Muslims: convert or die!
EVEN as many Muslims in the Mid East look on in shock at the carnage unleashed via “Pure Islam” – caught in the crossfire themselves – the fact of the matter is many more stay silent and a preponderance of others actually agree with said barbarism. What’s going on?
IN reality, there is no stopping the carnage unless Islam is stopped. Plain and simple. And while it sounds like an impossible task, it may very well extinguish itself, if only in generations to come. Nonetheless, millions more will be sacrificed on its bloody altar, as in the past. Where is this assessment coming from, especially since this blogger is not one who dabbles in fantastical thinking, believing that this scourge on earth may finally die out, though hardly within our lifetime?
BEFORE the above is addressed, the reader must internalize the underpinnings of Islam to also understand its bloody basis; its roots. It is not enough to just look on, in horror, and throw up ones hands. Towards this end, a groundbreaking policy paper was written and this blogger was asked to participate in its review. It was showcased only 2 weeks after the inception of this site, July 13, 2012.“Islam & Blood”has been featured here on several occasions, and another repeat performance is efficacious.
Make NO mistake – its contents are earth shaking; unbelievably thought provoking; cogently analyzed; and in particular, its historical analysis and theological basis are spot on. Having read – and participated in – many policy papers this praise is not offered lightly. Therefore, sit down… put your feet up… have a drink (not the inebriating kind)…. enjoy some sweets (you may need it to lighten the mood)… and start reading – https://adinakutnicki.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/islam_and_blood.pdf . Sharing its contents may well be your most important contribution to our common struggle….
IS there any room for equivocation or misunderstanding in their intent? If so, please refer to their latest atrocities…..
NOW that you have lost your last meal….sorry for that, butit is certainly not reassuring to realize that the most recognized Cathedral in America has essentially bowed down to Islam, regardless of their inter-faith jibber jabber.
BESIDES, it matters not a whit that so-called progressive Christians (and Jews) believe in fairy tale and kumbaya outcomes. But what does matter is that their dangerous delusions yield poisonous fruits via inter-faith dialogue and others are reaping unimaginable blow back. Basically, their one-sided conversation is akin to one party speaking to the other, but those on the receiving end already made up their mind, yet feign to nod in agreement, up until they complete their inroads. In reality, the only thing which matters is how Islamists view said submissive dialogue. That’s where it is at.
MOST significantly, how many know that the inaugural date of the defilement of the National Cathedral occurred on a most significant war-call date in the Caliphate’s history: 100 YEARS AGO: Last Caliph Publicly Calls for War Against Infidels!
H E L L O….
IN concert, the fact that ISIS are definitely already inside America, yet DHS refuses to do their due diligence, well, that is about the biggest gift Shariah law jihadists could receive. Therefore, rationally speaking, if you were in their stead, wouldn’t you believe that triumph is nearer, rather than farther away?
TO wit, westerners should expect more of the same AND worse!
WHEN one is convinced he is the anointed leader over the global Islamic Caliphate, well, grasping another nation’s historical, legal and biblical capital is not considered beyond the pale. It is one’s “right”. Don’t you all know that by now? Get with the Islamic program!
SIMILARLY, staking claim to Jerusalem – the Jewish people’s (Israel’s) thousands yr old eternal capital – well, said war-call is considered doable for jihadists. Yes, centuries of incitement has been transferred from one Muslim generation to another, unlike the hard-earned inheritances we hand down to our nearest and dearest upon our demise. However, whereas our kiddies may receive (if financially feasible) property, stock portfolios and sentimental treasures, on the other hand, their bounty never dries up, for it is derived from the blood-soaked Koran. Immutable.
BUT that doesn’t mean that the rest of us have to sit still, while Erdogan and his Brotherhood Mafia plot their schemes, does it? So the first point of inquiry is: what exactly are Israel’s leaders doing, if anything, about Erdogan’s putsch?
“Israeli politicians and Jewish media across the World,” writes Westrop, “have excitedly embraced the efforts of Turkish television channel A9 to effect and encourage interfaith dialogue – or, as the channel itself puts it, promote “peace and love” between all peoples.”
…
“The programme is part of a hardline group run by Turkish Islamist Adnan Oktar (aka Harun Yahya), and extremist with a history of promoting Holocaust Denial and who fuses Ataturk nationalism with Turkish Islamism in his attacks upon Jews, Darwinists and Atheists. His group of followers is best described as a cult; one accused by a number of critics of using sexual abuse and blackmail to achieve political leverage.”
A9 is falsely perceived by a number of media outlets as an example of a moderate Islamic voice that is working to bring Jews and Muslims closer together. While this is indeed the declared purpose of A9, it is a façade that shrouds a hostile agenda. Just as democracy was a useful means for Turkish Islamists to propagate their anti-democratic views, so too is A9’s declared devotion to interfaith dialogue a sanitizing veneer that distracts from its more sinister ideas.
Jewish media journalists and Israeli Rabbis have been invited to Adnan’s headquarters free of charge and subsequently agreed to support him. Let it be known that Adnan Oktar has a long history of inviting many influential people to his headquarters which has a camera in every room, filmed sex orgies, and used these same films for black mail so as to demand support for his causes. Adnan Oktar who was diagnosed as being mentally ill, claims to be the next Muslim Mosiach. It is interesting that after various Rabbis have been invited to Turkey, support Oktar’s claims in one way or another in video links below.
Who is Adnan Oktar (pen name: Harun Yahya)? He is claimed on his web page to be a ‘world renown and respected scholar’ who has devoted himself to writing about scientific and faith-related subjects such as the theory of evolution and miracles of God.
He is further described by supporters as a respected ‘scientist’ who has publications in incredibly diverse areas of interest (actually he is not a university graduate). He speaks only Turkish. The fact is that, his publications and his foundation (Science Research Foundation) have recently been banned in Turkey, and most members of his “sect” have been sent to court. This was not due to their Islamic and scientific activities, but due to crimes such as blackmail, extortion, possession of unlicensed weapons and sexual intercourse with minors. About three years ago, upon complaints of victims and many years of suspicion, Turkish police raided residences of this group. The discoveries at the houses and testimony of the group members were shocking. Under the mask of promoting Islam and scientific facts, the group members had been found to engage in extensive criminal activity. These crimes included blackmail, possession of unlicensed weapons and sexual intercourse with individuals under age 18. The head of the group, Adnan Oktar (recorded by police cameras, leaked and shown on Turkish TV channels such as Kanal D, ATV, Star) confessed to blackmailing people who they regarded as an obstacle to their enterprises. These people included the reporters for the newspaper Hurriyet, Emin Colasan, and Fatih Altayli, after they questioned some of Harun Yahya’s activities such as bribing the municipality of Ankara…..
MORE specifically, their end goal, the Turkish-Islamic Union, is highlighted at an interview and it is solid as a rock. Consider:
Adina Kutnicki: Wolff, as you and I are acutely aware – hoping to enlighten many westerners through this interview and other related work efforts – aside from all the highly visible dangers revealed herein, the lingering question remains: what’s Adnan’s Oktar’s end goal? And, even though an overview of “The Plan”, as conceived and designed by the Muslim Brotherhood, is (hopefully) becoming more and more transparent to Americans and westerners at large, much more needs to be done to counteract their planned jihad.
End Goal: Turkish – Islamic Union
Very little is known, at least to westerners, about a specific Muslim Brotherhood-backed Islamic project – the Turkish-Islamic Union. While Shiite leadership and most Sunni heads are not on board, the fact of the matter is that Turkish rulers envision themselves astride the resurrected Caliphate via a reconstituted Ottoman Empire. Assuredly, they are marching full charge ahead. And, for an overview of the Turkish-Islamic Union, peer within. See if you’re convinced of their altruistic, affirmative messages of love and more love to non-Muslims. They are pejoratively, religiously deemed “infidels” and special animus is reserved for the most reviled, the “Joos”. Let’s call an ace an ace, a spade a spade.
Alas, Israel, as always, stands in the way of Islamic hegemony, hence, the cooked up “charm offensive” via alluring, come-hither bombshells. Now, it must be understood that the saying, “you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar”, is decidedly apropos. It is an exact replica of Stealth Jihad, morphed with a boring into Jewish sensitivities and sensibilities; the desperate quest to live in “peace” and to cease looking over ones shoulders. They know their audience well. Naturally, the synthesis of comely females dripping honey-laced words, is so much more effective and appealing than threatening poses from jihadists. Wearing menacing stocking caps on their heads – with only cut out eye-holes serving as slits – and hoisting rifles and rockets over their shoulders certainly doesn’t inspire confidence, friendly intent or register sympathy. You think? Regardless, wishing doesn’t make it so….
IN this regard, how much Mid East (and global) mischief does Turkey’s MB junta – under the Islamic umbrella of Erdogan – have to accrue to get kicked out of NATO, henceforth, to be revealed as the western foe that it is?
A Brotherhood official said on Saturday that Qatar had asked several members of the group to leave the country where they had sought refuge after the fall of Egypt’s Islamist president Mohammed Morsi.
“If they make any request to come to Turkey, we will review their request,” Mr Erdogan said after visiting Qatar on Monday.
“If there are any reasons that would prevent them from coming to Turkey, they would be assessed. And if there aren’t any obstacles, they would be granted the ease that is granted to everyone,” he said.
Doha has been under pressure from other Gulf states to cut its support for the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups.
Turkey and Qatar were the only regional countries to back the Brotherhood as they rose to prominence after the Arab Spring uprisings. Their influence in the region has since waned, culminating in Mr Morsi’s removal from power by Egypt’s army last year following mass protests against him.
The UAE, Saudi Arabia and other GCC members have grown increasingly concerned about the Brotherhood and see them as a threat to stability in the region.
Egypt and Saudi Arabia have both declared the Brotherhood a terrorist organisation. The Brotherhood says it is a peaceful group.
When a leader of one sovereign nation threatens to protect the Capital city of another sovereign nation from the country in which it resides, it’s generally considered advocating for an act of war. Yet, in this case, the western media and the American people all but yawn, via the Jerusalem Post:
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu slammed Israel for its recent “attacks” on Jerusalem, vowing to defend the city and its holy sites, even if doing so alone.
“Nothing will prevent Turkey from protecting Jerusalem and the al-Aksa mosque,” Davutoglu addressed his party at a weekly faction meeting in Ankara, according to Turkish media.
Israel’s “brutal” leaders should not “dare consider” continuing their attacks on the city, Hurriyet quoted him as saying.
That reference to protecting the al-Aqsa mosque is particularly laughable because the Israeli government briefly shut it down after an Israeli activist was shot by a Palestinian terrorist in front of the mosque. Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas referred to that as an “Israeli escalation”. Not only that but Israel has had to deal with a spike in Palestinian terrorist attacks.
Meanwhile, inside Turkey, ISIS is allowed to roam free and recruit in broad daylight.
Yet Davutoglu thinks Jerusalem must be defended against the country whose Capital it is.
LO and behold (as referred to above), the brazen Islamist who leads Turkey is in bed with his BFF, America’s Jihadi-in-Chief. But if there are those who contend that the duo’s cozy relationship doesn’t give Erdogan a (Caliphate) leg up, well, they are dangerously mistaken.
Islamic State Media @ISIS_Med “Land of the Free… I’m dreaming of u every day…I’ll rename u Land of the Believer as I named Kobane Ayn al Islam”! Hmm….ISIS Media lays it all out….so why is DHS still in denial??
PATRIOTS, listen up….don’t dare be pulled into the leftist (Islamist-driven) claptrap that said Turkish terrorists, captured INSIDE Texas, are Kurdish fighters, therefore, have no fear! Yes, Kurds are, for the most part, allies to the west. And those of us in contact with some of their leadership (not to be confused with the Marxist terror contingent, the DHKP/C) understand that they wouldn’t risk their long championed strategic alliance with Washington to smuggle compatriots into the U.S.! In fact, said Kurds have legitimate channels for entry, and with powerful support behind them, rest assured.
ONE and all, the admin truly believes that Americans are dumb as posts, as evidenced by their wanton lies to the public re ObamaCare and so many other domestic and foreign policy concerns! In this regard, if their lips are moving they are lying. Simple as that.
(An MIT econ prof shills for a lying regime, after all, the “unwashed masses” will buy any shit shoveled their way! Similarly, why should any American trust them to expose grave homeland security dangers?)
BUT before we get to the meat of the disaster, let us recall all the previous (ISIS) lies proferred by DHS, yes, that same Islamist-captured homeland (in)security operation – that one!
But whether the men are linked to anti-U.S. jihadists or not, they admitted to being part of a U.S.-designated terrorist group, and their ability to get into the U.S. through the southern border — they paid $8,000 each to be smuggled into Texas — details the existence of a network capable of bringing terrorists across the border.
The four men’s story, as discerned from internal September and October documents reviewed by The Washington Times, also seems to contrast with what Mr. Johnson told Congress in September, when he assured lawmakers that the four men were not considered terrorist threats to the U.S., even as behind the scenes his department proposed the four be put on terrorist watch lists.
Homeland Security spokeswoman Marsha Catron said the individuals weren’t associated with the Islamic State, which is also known by the acronyms ISIL and ISIS.
“The suggestion that individuals who have ties to ISIL have been apprehended at the southwest border is categorically false, and not supported by any credible intelligence or the facts on the ground,” Ms. Catron said. “DHS continues to have no credible intelligence to suggest terrorist organizations are actively plotting to cross the southwest border.”
She did not reply to questions about the status of the four men or why her department proposed they be put on terrorist watch lists.
As of a month ago they were being held at the South Texas Detention Facility in Pearsall, Texas.
The men initially claimed to be members of the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party/Front, known by the acronym DHKP/C. The group is a Marxist insurgency that claimed credit for a 2013 suicide bomb attack on the U.S. embassy in Ankara, Turkey’s capital, last year.
But U.S. counterterrorism officials said the men were more likely members of the PKK, or Kurdistan Workers’ Party, which has been battling for Kurdish rights within Turkey for decades, though recently PKK and Turkish leaders have tried to broker a political agreement.
Both the PKK and DHKP/C are listed by the State Department as terrorist groups.
Jessica Vaughan, policy studies director at the Center for Immigration Studies, said the fact that avowed members of terrorist groups got into the U.S. shows it’s possible to sneak across a porous border.
“This incident proves what enforcement experts have always known, and that is there are existing networks in Mexico and Central America that have been set up and cultivated by a variety of terrorist organizations to enable them to move people into the United States illegally,” Ms. Vaughan said.
It’s unclear what the men were trying to do. None of them admitted to being part of a plot against the U.S., and several told investigators they were hoping to seek asylum, saying they believed they were being targeted back home by police in Turkey.
Two of the men had tried to enter the U.S. before but had been denied visas when they couldn’t prove they intended to return to Turkey, the documents showed.
Jonathan Schanzer, vice president of research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said he would be surprised if the men were part of a plot against the U.S……
MORE specifically, their Turkish origins are actually most germane. Time and again, Turkey has been front and center at this site and will continue to be in the future. What’s going on?
The next worry is that all of these entities have infiltrated the United States and our allies, and to doubt this is simply in contravention of documented truth. The problem is rampant across the US and he is one recent example:
Here is an excerpt from the NY Post on an article entitled from this week, “‘Carloads’ of terrorists turned Oregon ranch into training camp”:
An Oregon woman says she thought she was opening up her family’s ranch to local Muslims to teach them how to grow and can veggies — and that her husband was even expecting a tax write-off.
But US-born Muslim convert Eva Hatley testified in Manhattan federal court Tuesday that after the “carloads’’ of fellow Muslims she met through her mosque arrived at the 160-acre ranch in Bly in 1999, the couple watched helplessly as their home was turned into an al Qaeda training camp.
“It wasn’t anything like I envisioned for the property,” insisted Hatley, testifying at the trial of one-eyed, hook-handed hate preacher Abu Hamza al-Masri.
Hatley, a two-time witness-protection-program flunky who prefers going by her Muslim name, Ayat Hakimah, said other Muslims from London would soon arrive on al-Masri’s orders. (Read the rest of the article here.)
It is also documented inmany other reports, some of which we have posted at Stand Up America. This is NOT a new phenomena; many diligent people have documented these connections and training camps for years. To show the connections between terror groups, the Investigative Project is legend in its efforts. Here they show some for the connections:
A top Hamas leader and the Palestinian ambassador to Tunisia have thanked Rachid Ghannouchi, the leader of Tunisia’s Muslim Brotherhood-linked party, Ennadha, for his role in brokering last week’s reconciliation deal between Fatah and the terrorist group.
The Obama administration lifted the ban in 2011 following the Arab Spring even though he never renounced his support for terrorism. He met with top State Department officials in Washington last year and during his most recent visitin February.
This link goes even further connecting Hamas/MB with al Qaeda leaders:
What puzzled us when it happened may be clear now, Holder appears to be protecting these very groups that Clapper denied being in contact with as is explained below. But just recently, the whole issue of why Holder would not release the documents on the ‘Holy Land Foundation Trial’ to Congress came up again….
THAT being said, take a peek at the following jihadi’s twitter heads up, and from ISIS’s OWN media feed to their Turkish brothers!
Islamic State salutes Turkish brothers from @genclikbirligi for their attack on kafir Americans in Wilayat Istanbul!!
YES, this is just a snippet but there are so many others.
NOW, if your patriotic heart and mind can withstand it, ISIS Turks in Texas are not the only infiltrating danger.
ONCE again, ISIS’s Media feed is brazen enough to give a shout out to their jihadi brothers-in-arms: Colorado, here they come…accommodations and all!!
THE question becomes: why is DHS still clinging to their lies:
Homeland Security spokeswoman Marsha Catron said the individuals weren’t associated with the Islamic State, which is also known by the acronyms ISIL and ISIS.
“The suggestion that individuals who have ties to ISIL have been apprehended at the southwest border is categorically false, and not supported by any credible intelligence or the facts on the ground,”Ms. Catron said. “DHS continues to have no credible intelligence to suggest terrorist organizations are actively plotting to cross the southwest border.”
BUT Americans are hardly the only ones in their barbaric cross hairs, even as Muslim mothers (and fathers) shout to the heavens, opining: how did this happen??
A lethal “game” of cat and mouse is taking place throughout America between Islamists and American patriots, but guess who is winning? Hint: it ain’t the good guys!
STEP by step, inch by inch, a combination of stealth and frontal jihad has plagued America (and the west) for close to 3 decades. Ominously, the leadership of the free world is in the forefront of setting its quickened pace. Indeed. The fact of the matter is that the Brotherhood has been burrowing in “plain sight” within the entire American landscape, but no longer. It was given the signal to openly flex their muscles. Yes, their catapult took a quantum leap forward under the purview of Barack HUSSEIN Obama. This too is a fact, and forming an Islamist political party within America attests to said charge! As anticipated, the MB are its top leaders and backers.
NOW most of this info isn’t news to this site’s dedicated readership, nor to those who watch on in horror as America, slowly and creepily, becomes Islamized. This is the case whether patriots recognize all the hidden, incremental signs or just a few. However, the above is also precisely why there can never be a let up, as the Brotherhood Mafia within America has zero intention of ceasing and desisting. Not only that, site’s such as this (and a few others, those who are dedicated to exposing Islam’s march on the west) make Islamic adherents exceedingly nervous, causing them to issue this and that death threat.
INCONTROVERTIBLY, the Brotherhood Mafia’s Phased Plan was designed to fly under the radar, but only up until certain phases were completed. In other words, coming out of the shadows had to be done under very clear guidelines. And the MB hierarchydoes not operate as lone wolves; they are an interconnected, hydra-like set of front groups which adhere to certain rules, like the real Mafia! Deviation rarely takes place, or punishment is swift.
THAT being said, now that the 3rd Phase is a done deal, it is time to fully co-opt the kiddies; Islam’s biggest catch of all. Pay heed to the following warning, for it is coming from one who has literally crossed swords with them countless times, both within America and the Middle East.
When I was in Iraq I had the opportunity to interview several captured Al Qaeda members. I asked them what type of future attacks America would endure. The answer over and over was that the hearts of Americans would be attacked. They explained that this meant the American children would be attacked because they are the hearts of the American people. These terrorists said the attacks would not necessarily be physical attacks, but rather a slow indoctrination in U.S. public schools and universities. The indoctrinating would include the Islamic ideology is peaceful and even as non-Muslims they support Islam and the Muslim people.
I have had several Islamic leaders tell me that Muslims who practice ‘Pure Islam’ have what is called ‘Black Hearts’. These Muslims had no conscience, feelings, emotions, love or caring about anything or anyone aside from Allah. Essentially they have no souls. They have an empty heart. These people have no feelings for even their own children; needless to say they have no feelings for children who are not theirs. It is just as easy for them to behead a neighbor child as it would be to behead even their own children. Children are simply a tool for them to use to achieve their ultimate goal of an Islamic Ummah (nation) under Shariah law….
AS is said, no sh-t Sherlock!
YET, as to their hold on the kiddies, where exactly are they in their co-option and march? Much closer than you think. Below is a Texas-style hijacking of the Lone Star state’s public school kiddies!
EVEN worse, when the Shahada is already a done deal, what else is there to say?
Some of the parents may scoff at such a notion but make no mistake; there are Muslims who certainly do not. In the same way that the Ground Zero mosque was intended to be about conquest, so too is forcing non-Muslim children to recite the Shahada. The local news reports do not pick up on this very significant element of the story….
AND does anyone believe that it is just leftward-leaning Massachusetts which is in the death grip of Shariah law dictates? Nope. Take a look at Tennessee!
Springfield High School didn’t miss an opportunity to display and essentially express their desire to show their tolerance for an ever growing diverse community at a recent open house for parents and returning public school children.
On display on the freshmen hall wall of the Robertson County TN school, the 5 Pillars of Islam were pasted “up and down” the hallway proclaiming the “rules” to be a good student of Islam, much in the way the 10 Commandments direct Christians.
Photo of one of many posters observed in hallway of Springfield High School in Robertson County, TN…..
OH dear, do you think they are done yet? In a pig’s eye.
Schools throughout the district will nonetheless continue to be closed for significant Christian and Jewish holidays, according to The Washington Times.
When the issue was raised, Montgomery County Schools Superintendent Joshua Starr moved to delete references to Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashana from the calendar. Board member Rebecca Smondrowski suggested removing all religious references.
“It is about equity,” Ms. Smondrowski told MyMCMedia, according to The Times. “I made the motion because if we are closing for operational reasons, then there should be no need to make reference to religion. That is the most equitable solution that I could see while recognizing that we need to be seriously addressing the criteria for how these things are decided in the future.”
Equity? Not according to figures provided by City-Data.com, which show that the Muslim population in Montgomery County is about a fifth the size of the Jewish population and a blip on the radar when compared with percentage of residents who practice Catholicism or another Christian denomination.
School employee Samira Hussein, who also has children at the district, has been urging it to add Muslim holidays to the calendar for the past 20 years, according to NBC Washington.
“The Eid is just the same exact as Christmas day or Easter day or Yom Kippur,” she said. “The children want to home with their families. This is a family holiday that God designated and gave us the time to celebrate and be joyous.”
The Council on American-Islamic Relations has joined Hussein’s campaign in recent years. An email sent early Tuesday by CAIR to its members reads:
Last year, CAIR began an “Equality for Eid” campaign, including a petition drive, to urge Montgomery County Public Schools to close on Eid al-Fitr as well as Eid al-Adha.
Now, CAIR is urging Starr to add Muslim holidays to the school calendar without removing other holidays celebrated by other faiths. The group is also calling on parents to contact the school board ahead of Tuesday’s meeting to share their opinion on the issue, as well as attend the meeting itself.
But it’s really more of a logistics problem than it is a religious one. NBC Washington reported:
Montgomery County Public Schools have closed for the Jewish high holidays since the 1970s because of the county’s large Jewish population in the county would create a high absenteeism rate in the county.
County officials say the size of the county’s Muslim population doesn’t warrant closing schools.
“High absenteeism is the main reason” for schools being closed on the Jewish high holidays, Montgomery County Public Schools Public Information Officer Dana Tofig told NBC. “The absentee rate on the Eid holidays, when they’ve fallen on a school day, haven’t been considerably higher or lower than it is on any other given day.”
But removing all religious references from the calendar wasn’t what Muslim leaders had in mind. {blogger’s note: oh really?}
“What we’re asking for is… to also have both the Jewish holiday and the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha both be recognized on the school calendar,” said CAIR’s Maryland Outreach Manager Zainab Chaudry.
That often happens when you complain — no one walks away happy.
EVEN school calendars aren’t safe from their grasping, pawing Islamist clutches! But never mind that America was FOUNDED on Christian and Judeo moorings, even as leftists and Islamists attempt to erase said heritage. Audaciously, true to Islamist form, Muslims intone that it is their beliefs which influenced America’s founding principles! Liars AND thieves. Besides, why aren’t Hindus and other minorities up in arms about erasing Christianity and Judaism from the nation’s consciousness? Could it be that they are simply not interested in supplanting America’s footing?
CONCOMITANTLY, recall what was posited above about stealth encroachment, as they play upon “tolerance” and American ethos, even as they foist, via hammer blows, their mandates upon America! Is there anything more outrageous and malign? Not by a long shot.
NEVERTHELESS, as sophisticated as most Americans think they are – at least in comparison to 7th century-acting barbarians – no one should be fooled as to who is leading whom by the throat. And if still not convinced, consider the fact that it is a brilliant, though manifestly evil, tactic to (ab)use the very same freedoms one is afforded while living in America, all in order to impose 7th century Shariah law mandates on this very same national populace!
Non-stop jihadist propaganda, recruitment and incitement to violence appear on TV, Internet websites, social media such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google and the likes. Jihadist’s messages can be listened to on the radio and read online, in print-media and in books. Their virulent attacks on Americans, Jews, Israel and all other infidels and praise of Hamas, ISIS and al Qaeda can be heard in Islamic Centers, Islamic schools, mosques, rallies and many other public forums.
Early on the Islamists understood, better than most Americas, the value of our right of free speech and abused it by intimidating our political and cultural elites. At first, they tested our media outlets with allegation they had been slandered. They perfected lawfare by often filling expensive lawsuits, mostly in the London, which soon become known as “The libel Capital of the world.” It did not take the Islamists long to confirm that Westerners, especially Americans, cherished their wealth more than their unique right of free expression, and were perfectly ready to impose “political correctness” on society, thus contributing to the obfuscation of the Islamist threat.
As a result, our enemies increased the volume, explicitness and vehemence of their hate messages that reach Americans at home, on their cell phones, at the workplace, at school, in the army, and even in prisons. The growing barbarity of their videotapes and motivational messages now alarms many Americans. But others are inspired to join the jihadist movement. Some are Muslims living in the U.S.; others are new converts. How many are there is unknown, but, as we have been witnessing, there are growing numbers of those ready to follow the jihadists’ detailed instructions to commit terrorist attacks as martyrs “in the name of Allah.” While we keep defending such messages as “free speech,” Americans have been losing their freedom to speak freely and recently with growing frequency are coming under violent terrorist attacks that are carried out according to the jihadist messages.
The term “terrorism” means premeditated, politically and religiously motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience. (Title 22 United States Code, Section 2656f(d)).
The jihadists’ venomous and graphic messages demanding the killing of Americans have proved again and again that they meet the legal definition of terrorism. It is time to stop pretending that those who follow such instructions to kill Americans, Israelis, Jews and other “infidels” in Belgium, Canada, England, Denmark, France and elsewhere, are “self-radicalized” ‘lone wolfs’?
With ‘political correctness’ is running amok, we fail to acknowledge that free speech does not extend to jihadist messages that directly incite, or are likely to incite imminent lawless action (Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444 (1969).
How many more Americans will be terrorized and brutally murdered following jihadist incitement before the government takes the necessary actions to stop such incitement?
Western nations with lesser protection for free speech than the U.S., should re-examine their hate crime laws to better protect their residents from jihadist incitement before it garners new recruits for violence and murder at home and abroad, that cause us to abandon our values and surrender our freedoms.
