Let there be no doubt: ramming Obamacare upon the hapless American public was going to happen, regardless of the consequences. Obama Inc.’s malignant intent required a “take no prisoners” approach and this crew knew how to get the (hit) job done. This is not hysteria-talk nor hyperbole. It’s reality.
First and foremost, Obamacare has two main targets: the destruction of the economyand gaining absolute control over every citizen’s life – literally. Shades of national socialism and all its permutations. Think about it this way: once the Feds have the ability to determine who lives and dies their power is totally cemented. In other words, by obtaining a stranglehold on America’s health system, the Feds own each and every American life.
In this regard, a decision has been made to rid the health care system of vets, and it makes “sense” to willfully ignore, to neglect, those who are most in need of care. Extrapolating further, now that it has become doable to dispose of those who serve the nation, does anyone imagine that they too are safe from Obama Inc.’s clutches? Of course not.
But how do we go from the above designs to co-opting a Supreme Court Justice, its Chief no less? Easy. Enter: the NSA.
Be that as it may, in order to ram through Obamacare, a familial hammer had to be held over the Supreme Court’s head, and some might suggest it was akin to Sophie’s Choice. Hobson’s choice, if you will. How so? Well, since it had to be deemed Constitutionally “kosher” it required potent leverage. The NSA more than likely delivered the goods.
Just imagine what most fathers will do to protect their families and think of the following scenario:
U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts may have been blackmailed to approve Obamacare after being spied on by the NSA and CIA, says Larry Klayman, the attorney who has come to be known as “the NSA slayer” for his successful legal battles against the National Security Agency.
During an appearance Sunday night on Aaron Klein’s New York City radio show on 970 The Answer, Klayman suggested the blackmail possibility when asked by a caller if the Supreme Court could be sued for its approval of the Affordable Care Act.
“Unfortunately, there’s no way to sue the Supreme Court for decisions that it makes. There should be, and there should be a way to remove these justices for making decisions like that,” explained Klayman, the founder of Judicial Watch who now heads Freedom Watch.
“But let’s take this possibility: Why did Chief Justice Roberts at the eleventh hour change his decision? He was going to side with the other justices and find that Obamacare was unconstitutional. Is it something that was dug up on him by the NSA or the CIA? Was that used against him to blackmail him?
“These are the kinds of things [the government is doing], and that’s why it’s so scary what’s going on with the NSA and the CIA. It can happen in a democracy. So that may help explain it, and perhaps we can reach these issues through the NSA cases that we brought, the NSA/CIA cases. I intend to get the truth on this.”
Klein himself sounded taken aback by Klayman’s suggestion.
“This is actually a staggering response to believe the government could have spied on a Supreme Court justice … and that information is somehow utilized … against him to pass Obamacare,” Klein said. “This is huge.”
Klayman warned that “every aspect of Americans’ lives is being accessed and monitored by the government.”
“It’s not just telephone metadata that’s being monitored,” he alleged. “They’re also listening to the content, that’s coming out in recent weeks.
“I’m a lawyer. I have an attorney-client privilege, and I can no longer talk to my clients on the telephone and expect that there’s any confidentiality. It changes the whole nature of how you operate.
“We also know that the NSA and CIA – as Communist China, as Russia can do, as any sophisticated country – they can turn your cell phone on anytime and listen to you. And they do.”
Listen to Part 1 of Larry Klayman’s appearance with Aaron Klein:
Klayman said such activity is “simply not acceptable in a democracy.”
“And even if they are not accessing our records directly, the fact that the American people know about it, and it’s been documented what’s been going on, it has a chilling effect on our ability to communicate and our ability to criticize the government or take strong action against the government.
“If the government wants to destroy you, it has to access the information that it can use to do it, and that’s why this is so frightening. [It has] a greater capability than King George III had in 1776. The tyranny is greater today than it was at the time of the American Revolution.”
Regarding the status of the legal cases against government spying, Klayman said, “The bottom line is this: Our so-called government is trying to delay final adjudication of the constitutionality of the CIA and NSA’s programs, and as a ruse, President Obama is claiming he wants to make modifications to those programs. They’re not modifications at all.”
Klayman also said it’s not just the Obama administration citizens should be concerned about.
“Can you imagine Hillary Clinton having the power to use this?” he asked.
In light of the following revelations, exactly how dangerous would a Hillary Presidency be? Judge for yourselves, but only after viewing the following movie!
AND before we delve any further, let us set the record straight: the aforementioned tinderboxes started years ago. However, under the current anti-American miscreant, what may have resulted in a less fateful position for America, no longer holds true.
NEVERTHELESS, the end goal was tipped off by Bush Sr. (hear for yourselves – ► 1:47► 1:47), yet all the “President’s Men” (party loyalties aside) have been on board, as Joe-foot-in-the-mouth-Biden recently confirmed. Make NO mistake about the dual party complicity.
BUT it is the Radical-in-Chief’s domestic upheavals which sets him apart from his predecessors. In other words, for example, while the Bushes and Clinton were content to orchestrate away from America’s shores, this is decidedly not the case with the current deviant. Herein lies the crux and the immediate danger.
AND if one anti-American putsch stands head and shoulders above the rest, look no further than to Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s ACTUAL evisceration of America’s borders, an indisputable precursor to the domestic downfall of America!
YET, what does the above have to do with setting the stage for WW 3? Everything.
Readers who followed my many reports exposing the truth about the September 11, 2012 attack of the CIA compound in Benghazi that killed four Americans have witnessed the painfully slow process of that truth gradually evolving into the mainstream, validating my information and source. From beginning to end, the West, and particularly Americans, were lied to about nearly every aspect of our involvement in Libya, Syria and the entirety of the “Arab Spring” in the Middle East.
These lies were deliberately advanced by a captured corporate media adherent to the same ideological bias as the Renegade-in-Chief and his staff of co-conspirators, combined with colluding pseudo-Conservative Republicans in Congress and their sycophants in the media to keep the truth from the American public.
The plain and simple truth that few are willing to address publicly is that we are being led into World War III by globalists who are busily setting fires to the geopolitical dry tinder spread across the Middle East, North Africa and now Ukraine to create global conflagration. World War III needs to happen at any cost, and the environment is such that the slightest misstep, mistake or event by design could ignite a global conflict that will change the world forever. It’s just that simple.
MYOPIA OF WORLD AFFAIRS
Those who dutifully watch the network news channels, listen to political talk radio, or read the analysis of political and news pundits in print will fall perilously short of understanding the bigger picture of world events. We are watching a target rich environment of increasingly dire headlines, each seemingly fundamentally different and unrelated. A more extensive investigation into each event, however, suggests otherwise. World events, despite their geographical distance and categorical differences , do not happen in a vacuum. The world superpowers are actively engaged in asymmetrical warfare by proxy. War by proxy, however, could change in an instant. We’re already seeing countries choosing sides in the coming global conflict.
It is admittedly difficult to understand how an invasion of illegal aliens is related to events taking place in North and West Africa and Ukraine, for example. Nonetheless, it is symptomatic of our myopic affliction that is exacerbated by the constant barrage of lies coming from our leaders and parroted by analysts, intellectuals, pundits and “experts” who ultimately work for the globalists. Others, perhaps, merely cannot see beyond the fictitious political paradigm or choose not to stray beyond their comfort zone of normalcy. Regardless of the affliction or reason, it’s time that we all address what is taking place as adults, as things are about to become deadly serious for each of us.
THE U.S., RUSSIA, SYRIA AND UKRAINE
Veiled by the dust cloud of the Arab Spring that has been shown to be planned, orchestrated and carried out in large part by Western intelligence interests spearheaded by a rogue criminal cabal of globalists led by the Renegade-in-Chief and his co-conspirators, the world watched as Hillary Rodham Clinton could not contain her glee that Libyan leader Gaddafi had been toppled and murdered. That set in motion the creation of the largest international arms running operation in the Middle East in violation of U.S. and international law. Working in tandem with the British, French, Qataris and other countries advancing a Saudi agenda, hundreds of tons of arms shipments were being ferried from Libya to strategic staging areas near the Syrian border, including sites in Turkey.
The target was then and now continues to be Syria. Warnings from Russia failed to slow or stop this agenda of taking out Assad and infusing Syria into the growing transnational Islamic Caliphate. Turkey, a vital member of NATO seemed to be caught “between Iraq and a hard place,” as the Saudi-backed West plans for reshaping the Middle East used that nation as a staging area to arm the otherwise impotent anti-Assad rebels with better equipment and manpower.
Perhaps that was the reason for the meeting between U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and the Turkish representative at the villa in Benghazi. Perhaps it was to convey the message that Putin would no longer tolerate the deliberate destabilization inside Syria, which holds both economic and militarily strategic advantages for Russia. Yet, the process of Western-backed destabilization continues, although not in the manner that was initially intended. As I previously noted based on information from my intelligence source, the rebels were to be eventually aided by NATO under a convoluted pretext of protecting the refugees and victims of this “spontaneous” civil war in Syria. Attempts to overtly intervene in Syria by Saudi-backed Western interests were attempted at least four separate times, yet each time the plans were thwarted and exposed. Alternate plans had to be implemented.
Today, we see U.S. equipped and Western backed ISIS, the most insanely ruthless Islamic war machine opening a new front against Syria. This was not by accident but by design, as the U.S. military virtually handed over the keys to the arms depots and vehicles left in Iraq. In addition to the retaking of Iraq city by city, Syria is next on their march in the larger scheme to build a Caliphate across the region. All of this is taking place with the imprimatur of Barack Hussein Obama, who by all appearances, seems to be a foreign asset of the Saudi royals. Perhaps now those who had the audacity to vilify patriotic Americans who dared question his undocumented origins, bona fides and ultimately, his allegiance should consider the last six years. With the Middle East in flames and as we stand at the precipice of global conflict, it is beyond the time that we should know to whom the Renegade-in-Chief answers, for it is certainly not the American people. Nor is it the Syrian people, where the Western backed support of the rebels have caused over a quarter of a million deaths and millions of refugees.
Against that backdrop, is it not clear that we are fully engaged in an all-out proxy war against Russia, from Syria and now to Ukraine? For it is a similar template used in Syria that we see in Ukraine.
As we are being fed a steady diet of misinformation about Ukraine and Russia, specifically about the most recent downing of two Ukrainian fighter jets, perhaps now would be a good time to ask a simple, but critically important question. Is it possible, since Russia has one of the most extensive satellite and radar systems covering every inch of Ukraine and surrounding areas, that the fighter jets might very well be NATO assets, piloted by NATO pilots, and taking off from NATO airfields, maybe from places like Azerbaijan? How might such a revelation change the perception of world events, should it become known that NATO and other Western interests area behind the recent escalation?
Do not make the mistake of considering Libya, Syria and Ukraine as different crime scenes with different motives and suspects. At most, they can be considered as primary and secondary crime scenes, but the motives and bloody fingerprints of the usual globalist suspects are common to them all.
Like misanthropic serial killers, they will not stop until they’ve accomplished their objectives of the wholesale slaughter of a misled and myopic population.
As stated by my intelligence source, this entire situation contains all of the elements that could result in things getting out of control very, very quickly. It’s time to lose the blinders, stop accepting the official narratives and abbreviated sound bites, and understand that our very existence is at stake.
ALAS, every time you shake your head, wondering, what the hell is going on, why the globe appears to be spinning out of control, well, consider this as a baseline starting point: geo-politics never stays static, that’s the nature of the beast.
Such is absolutely the case with the Islamist-in-Chief, the moment he ‘reset’ the geopolitical chess pieces to align with the Brotherhood Mafia’s interests, back in Cairo in 2009. This was the regime’s opening shot under the guidance of his surrogates. Hence, the Arab Spring/Nightmare was prodded along, but their mischief making was still in its infancy, until Benghazigate exploded. Lest anyone believes otherwise, the arming of Syrian ‘rebels’, a conglomeration of Al Qaeda and Brotherhood offshoots, was purposefully designed to unseat Assad and was certainly not in America’s interests, even though Obama Inc. sees no Islamic evil, hears no Islamic evil. After all, who expects pyromaniacs to admit to their fire sprees?
EFFECTIVELY, players behind the scenes “create” circumstances whereby certain results are anticipated. However, as in any given situation, unknown quantifiers emerge and they need to be dealt with. Consequently,they often take on a life of their own.
INEXORABLY, the end game is to wipe America off the superpower map, and the Commander-in-Chief is leading in its demise. Wielding the forceps.
IN this regard, if you view the above as a “devil’s contract”, one in which the erasure of America to negligible status is premiere, you can intuit why globalists – seeking to rule, to dominate, prime world assets – are joining hands with those seeking the resurrection of the Caliphate. In other words, both see the elimination of America as a “necessity”. As such, the rest of the world’s spoils can be divvied up, with America’s status and stature no longer an impediment.
REGARDLESS, it is often best to hear straight from the Islamists themselves…listen to what they have planned. Unmistakably, undeniably clear:
BUT despite their exhortations to kill as many Americans and Jews that they can, Obama Inc. is shielding Hamas and Islamists of all factions, whether operating in Israel’s neighborhoods or in America’s backyards. Again, irrefutable.
WHAT was true in the summer of 2013 has become even more noticeable in the summer of 2014. In fact, the following observations were commended by a Watchers of Weasels award….under “non-council” winners. Here is a snippet:
It goes without saying, the Islamist-in-Chief has no interest in freeing the Mid East from the sword of Islam. His embrace of the Muslim Brotherhood Mafia is more than emblematic of said charge. In fact, the polar opposite is the case. Currently, the leader of the free world is agitating (also threatening Egypt’s military) for Morsi’s Mafia to be set free, even though Egypt’s military has evidence of treason against them. Think about what this means in terms of which side America is siding with and the geo-political blow back, its knock-on effects. Besides, each and every intervention (“leading from behind” or full frontal) ends in further disaster, both for the west and towards regional factions seeking freedom.
True to form, here is a devilish sampling of the Pyromaniac-in-Chief’s handiwork…..
IT is within this anti-western prism that one must understand the geo-political landscape. Obama’s calculus. In this regard, everything he has done to weaken America– and it is considerable…book-worthy – is of piece with his hammer blows to Israel.
Hundred of thousands of illegal aliens are guesstimated to sneak into the United States through the Southern Border on foot or on wheels. Much less is known about the number of illegals who make their way through undiscovered tunnels dug underneath the border.
Unlike the limited baggage those crossing overland from Mexico can carry, the moles can smuggle through the tunnels not only tons of different illegal drugs, but also weapons, including WMD, conventional and unconventional explosives, GPRs, and shoulder-fired missiles, similar to the rockets Hamas is firing on Israel from the Gaza Strip.
Iranian and North Korean know-how assisted the construction of Hamas tunnels deep into Israel. Hezbollah and al Qaeda-affiliated groups have been active throughout Latin America in general and in Mexico in particular, and lately North Korean activity in the region has been noticed too. All these groups are known to cooperate with Mexico’s infamous drug cartels and transnational criminal groups.
Since all Islamists consider the U.S. as the Big Enchilada (“Big Satan”) that has to be conquered and that a vast tunnel network already exist under the southern border, how many members of Hezbolla and al Qaeda affiliates have already come through? What kind of conventional and unconventional weapons have they smuggled in? The discovery of well disguised tunnels is a difficult task even when such threat is acknowledged. David Masters, who oversees such DHS efforts stated earlier this year that “We can’t go check if every rock or boulder is a tunnel.”
Moreover, the Administration opposes any measure that will allow to identify and track illegal aliens, diminishing the probability of obtaining intelligence that would help destroy the tunnels and prevent drugs, weapons and terrorists who carry them from entering the country. Keep this in mind when wondering about Obama’s growing pressure on Israel to stop the destruction of Hamas terror tunnels that threaten the lives of all Israelis, Jews and Arabs alike. Still, it is disturbing that the president of what used to be the “leader of the free world” is actively engaged with the most radical leaders who are set on genocide and suppression of all freedoms.
EVEN so, it is intrinsic to understand the multi-faceted reasons why Barack HUSSEIN Obama is shielding Hamas and the lengths he is going to in order to bring Israel to its knees.
A “senior US official” leaked an audio recording of a telephone conversation between Obama and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to Channel One. In it the 35-minute conversation, which took place on Sunday, the US President appears downright hostile at points, and even cuts off Netanyahuin the middle of his protestations over a one-sided truce proposal which would have seen Hamas receive all its key demands, but that Israel ultimately rejected.
The following is an excerpt of the conversation, published in Hebrew byChannel One:
Obama: I demand that Israel agrees to an immediate, unilateral ceasefire and halt all offensive activities – particularly airstrikes.
Netanyahu: What will Israel receive in return for a ceasefire?
Obama: I believe that Hamas will stop firing rockets – silence will be met with silence.
Netanyahu: Hamas violated all five previous ceasefires, it is a terrorist organization which is dedicated to the destruction of Israel.
Obama: I repeat and expect Israel to unilaterally stop all its military activity. The pictures of destruction from Gaza distance the world from Israel’s position.
Netanyahu: Kerry’s proposal was completely unrealistic and gives Hamas the military and diplomatic advantage.
Obama: Within a week of the end of Israel’s military activities, Qatar and Turkey will begin negotiations with Hamas on the basis of the 2012 understanding [following the end of Operation Pillar of Defense – ed.], including Israel’s commitment to removing the siege and restrictions on Gaza,
Netanyahu: Qatar and Turkey are the biggest supporters of Hamas. It is impossible to rely on them to be fair mediators.
Obama: I trust Qatar and Turkey, and Israel is in no position to choose its mediators.
Netanyahu: I object, because Hamas is able to continue and to fire rockets and to use tunnels for terror attacks…
Obama – interrupts Netanyahu mid-sentence: The ball is in Israel’s court – it is obligated to end all military activities.
The regime has been awarded $2.8 billion in sanctions relief by the Obama administration in return for an agreement on a four-month extension to the Geneva talks in finding a peaceful solution to its illegitimate nuclear program. The Islamic regime had received $7 billion in sanctions relief after the negotiated agreement last November with a six-month deadline to finalize the agreement, but it has so far refused to back down from its demand to continue developing its nuclear program. It has also succeeded in excluding from the talks its ballistic missile program, which is under U.N. sanctions.
MOST ominously for Americans, the same genocidal murderers seeking to exterminate Jews are on the march in America – tunnel-like – be they Hamas, Hezbollah or another jihadi hydra thereof. This is whom we (Americans and Israelis) are dealing with:
It can’t be any clearer — low-information liberals who continue to support Hamas and its Hitlerian fantasies of genocide after seeing this are hopelessly evil.
FROM the get go let’s agree to stipulate: an oral root canal is never fun. However, if left to fester, one cannot be shocked, shocked when said infected tooth rots and eventually requires an emergency extraction. In fact, one’s entire mouth will likely become inflamed, hence, a more invasive oral surgery will surely ensue without due deliberate care. Cause and effect.
SO too – if one stretches the analogy to its logical and rational geo-political outcome – Zionists tragically find Israel’s “matsav”, מצב, its national condition, in a rapidly deteriorating state, mostly due to PM Netanyahu’s constant appeasement.
REGARDLESS of this or that, a statesman is expected to rise to all challenges. Concomitantly, if unable to perform, said leader must be held to account. After all, when any individual is hired for a job there are requisite standards of performance. If unable to fulfill ones employment obligations, surely dismissal is an option, as it should be. And, as an aside, having been a business owner, this American-Israeli knows exactly what qualifies as acceptable levels of performance – or not. Kal VaChomer, קל וחומר, even more so, there most certainly should be stringent expectations for a national leader to meet! And, nothing, absolutely nothing comes before securing the safety of ones citizens, particularly when it comes to blitzing and tunneling!
WITHOUT a scintilla of a doubt, PM Netanyahu’s meandering from braggadocio and vacillation has emboldened not only Hamas, but all of Israel’s regional (and far off) foes. This has been his ongoing “strategy”, as he “ceases” Israel’s fire before the IDF is able to declare victory. Most egregiously, the military is more than capable of decimating Hamas. Paradoxically, even Israel’s enemies begrudgingly agree that the IDF is second to none. So, what the hell is going on?
YES, to perform to the max, one must first be let off the leash… even if among the top 10 elite forces in the world!!
The name means “Flotilla 13,” and their official motto is the same as the Israeli military: “Never Again,” in reference to the Holocaust. Their unofficial motto, as they like to joke, is “When the going gets tough, the Jews get pissed.”They are 1 of the 3 most elite Israeli special forces units, but Shayetet 13 is the unit most similar to the Delta Force. They specialize in hostage rescue and counter-terrorism, and because they live so close to a host of nations that seem bent on eradicating them, they are at all times ready in an instant to travel abroad and kill. They are very secretive, but of their missions publicized, the most notable include Operation Spring of Youth, in which they hunted down members of Black September in Beirut Lebanon and killed them, in revenge for the 1972 Munich massacre.
Apart from their firearms and heavy weapons training, they train extensively in Krav Maga, the national martial art of Israel, to which they endearingly refer as “Jew-jitsu.” It’s philosophy is based on the principle that in a real street fight no quarter will be asked or given. Fight to kill. Groin strikes are quite prevalent….
IN this regard, all the tech and acumen in the world is of no use, unless smoke and mirrors satisfies PM Netanyahu’s end game. Hmm.
BESIDES, as is said, the buck stops with PM Netanyahu. Consequentially, Israel’s ship of state has never been more unsteady, and he had two terms in office to turn it around. On the security front, the most important barometer of all, he has failed miserably. As reported,he nixed the idea of targeting Hamas’s MAIN leaders!Okey dokey.
FOR like clockwork, one can count on PM Netanyahu to dodge and weave, and there are many reasons for his spinelessness. In the main, whenever his handlers in Washington come knocking, he is unable to say – enough…maspik…מספיק!
DEBKAfile Intelligence – In the past 48 hours, Israel was pressured to accept its fifth “humanitarian” ceasefire in Gaza by President Barack Obama, US Secretary of State John Kerry, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Chairman of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu came close to folding, whereas Hamas saw the truce as applying only to Israel and therefore used it as a call to arms.
The slogan Israel broadcast: Quiet will be met with quiet and fire with fire, was seen by Hamas as a sign of Israel weakening.
This impression was confirmed on Sunday when the order went out to Israel troops to exercise restraint in the face of sporadic Hamas rocket fire, so as to give the truce a chance. The Palestinian Islamists used it as a welcome respite for getting organized for the next stage of their onslaught. Neither Israelis, Americans or Egyptians anticipated the radical Hamas launching an escalated assault on the first day of the Eid el-Fitr festival. In fact, by coordinating rocket, mortar and tunnel terror attacks, they inflicted on Israel one of the worst days of the three-week Operation Defensive Shield, claiming the lives of ten servicemen.
A grim omen of the deadly attacks ahead cam from a surge of rocket fire Monday noon, after a relatively quiet night. It targeted Gaza’s closest neighbors as well as Ashkelon and was followed by a salvo against the Lachish District and the towns of Netivot and Ofakim.
At around 4:30 p.m. Israel time, Hamas thought to give Israel a nasty surprise by sending one of its heavy Iranian Fajr-5 missiles (range 75 km) smashing into Tel Aviv. Instead of taking to the air, the missile plummeted to the ground in the nearby Shifa Hospital compound and exploded. Ten people were killed in the blast.
Half an hour later, Hamas directed mortar fire at the Eshkol District, where a group of soldiers was meeting. One hit its mark, killing four men and injuring nine.
The mortar attack was coordinated with another rocket barrage, this one directed at Ofakim and Mt. Carmel. At around 6 p.m., a band of 5 Hamas terrorists came out of a tunnel near Kibbutz Nahal Oz They shot dead five defenders and were killed themselves in a firefight with the soldiers.
The tenth soldier was shot dead by Palestinian sniper in the Gaza Strip Monday morning
Their deaths raised to a total of 53 the IDF toll in the three-week counter-terror operation in the Gaza Strip.
Monday night, Israeli troops appeared to have started expanding the operation to the west. The inhabitants of Jebalya and Zeitun were told to leave their homes and, soon after, Israel artillery began shelling Ain Bureij.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon and Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz made a joint TV appearance Monday, offering a pledge to continue the campaign against Hamas until all goals were achieved, however long it takes. Netanyahu said: “Today we suffered terrorism from above and below.” The destruction of terror tunnels, he said, was an essential step towards the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, which offered the only path to real peace.
Ya’alon said Israel would no longer a tolerate dialogue through terror tunnels and rockets. Hamas had been punished and would continue to be, he said, until it understood that Israel will never be brought to surrender.
Gen. Gantz: “As a human being, it is hard for me to accept civilian deaths,” he said, – unlike Hamas, which is solely responsible for 10 deaths at Shifa hospital, in whose grounds a missile aimed at Tel Aviv exploded prematurely.
The 24-hour “humanitarian ceasefire” was the stage for a major escalation in violence as Hamas strutted its stuff, fully confident of its ability to stand up to the next stage of the IDF operation. Will Israel’s war planners finally show iundivided resolve to win this momentous struggle against an expansionist Islamist terror movement?
NEVERTHELESS, no good will come from whining about Israel’s decrepit state of affairs. Yet, background info is a must for those who are left wondering: what in heavens name is going on in Israel, especially since Jews are supposed to be so smart and all?
Folks, despite the massive amount of Jewish/Israeli genius, don’t confuse academic/tech smarts with (political) backbone and moral fortitude, coupled together with (jungle-like) street smarts. Worlds apart.
But the order did not come.Netanyahu and Yaalon continued to pin their hopes on someone forcing Hamas to pretend to accept yet another unsustainable ceasefire, even though they are progressively losing their cabinet majority and people are growing increasingly impatient with their stand-and-wait stance. Successive polls show that support for pushing Hamas hard all the way is steadily rising and stands now in the region of 80-90 percent, while opposition to any ceasefire grows stiffer every day.
Yet, instead of going forward, Netanyahu and Ya’alon appeared Monday night to be clutching at a new straw: Palestinian Intelligence Chief Majid Faraj was due in Cairo Tuesday along with an unidentified Hamas representative to discuss a ceasefire with the Egyptian intelligence chief, after rejecting Cairo’s original proposal for failing to meet Hamas’ terms. Official sources in Jerusalem continued to feed the media with the myth that Hamas is badly in need of truce, a misapprehension which keeps Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip from advancing. The artillery and air strikes the IDF conducted Monday evening in no way deterred Hamas from ramping up its spiral of violence yet again….
DEMONSTRABLY, there are prescriptive remedies and they are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they go hand in hand, yet timing is everything. One requires immediate implementation, another is an intermediate step and the third is an overhaul of a different nature. Let’s term it: Israel’s structural makeover.
Immediate Step:
LOOK no further than to Dr. Martin Sherman’s strategic prescriptions, and take them VERY seriously. He is the master of this domain. Most recently, he described at his Jerusalem Post column “Why Gaza Must Go”. Indeed.
Intermediate Step:
ONCE the actual smoke clears, it is mandatory for Zionists to exert their democratic rights in a massive way, like those who took to the streets during the civil rights struggle of the 1960’s. After all, what is more basic than the right to live free of missile fire and terror tunnels? In this regard, the current leadership must be forced to “retire”. They have failed the majority public. There is no other option. Period.
Third Step:
YET, in order to understand how Israel reached this critical national juncture – whereby a looming Iranian menace is dangling like the Sword of Damocles, and the most potent army in the Mid East is absolutely held back from beating Hamas into the ground – one must internalize the specific flaws inherent to Israel’s political structure. Suffice it to say, this American-Israeli’s op-ed on the subject should serve as initial guideposts: The Paradox of Israeli Politics: Vote Right, Get Leftsufficiently illustrates how the voting public mistakenly believes that voting in a right-wing/nationalist party will actually effectuate the leadership’s course of action. Regardless, there are remedies, but the majority Zionist public must not only understand where the fault-lines lie, but be fed up enough to effectuate said changes.
NOW, while there is no doubt that the IDF operates heroically (and then some), the fact of the matter is that you know the political leadership has no intention of winning the war when top military brass (not those sitting in war rooms, but those on the ground) exhort:
SIGNIFICANTLY, those who follow this blog also know that suffering fools is not tolerated, least of all when it comes to matters of life and death. Therefore, this American-Israeli will put it even more starkly: either they allow the troops to reach victory, or they better get them the hell out of (immediate) harm’s way. Otherwise, every hair harmed on their heads will end up at the (political) leadership’s doorstep, one way or another. Guaranteed. They will pay.
Some officers are saying that too much focus may have been placed by official spokesmen on the tunnel problem, possibly in order to distract attention from the extent to which the heads of government have held the armed forces back from gaining any serious advantages in the war on Hamas – or even terminating its rocket blitz…..
DO sear into your brains what these officers are (circumspectly) accusing the political leadership of! Charge sheet: grave malfeasance.
“The world watches from the sidelines, apathetic, even pointing its finger and moralizing, without understanding that this is all coming to them very soon. Providing theoretical justification for our right to self-defense but denouncing, in practice, our realization of that right.”
The tunnels, Bennett opined, are not the root of the problem. The root is “our enemies’ belief that they can win. That if they do not relent in their struggle, we will be worn out and run away from here. This hope must be uprooted. And it can be. By force.”
MOST significantly, the following is said with the utmost severity and with the heaviest heart, but its words are no less true: our sons (and daughters) are dedicated citizen soldiers, many of whom are combat Reservists. They are true “Lions of Zion”, be they religious or secular. Moreover, some soldiers hail from a tiny fraction of the minority Arab (Druse, Christian, Muslim) public, but their sacrifices are no less important.
AS such, particularly, in relation to the Reservists, they left their families and jobs to jump to the “call of duty” for weeks on end. This was done even with the knowledge that they may very well be saying goodbye to their loved ones for the last time!
IN this regard, there is no bigger crime than exposing them to unnecessary danger, one which is born out of political cowardice. Therefore, indeed, like a RAGING infection left unattended – in light of said critical care diagnosis – an uprooting via a multiplicity of levels, as described above, is the only nation-saving option.
TO wit, this American-Israeli defies any authentic Zionist to argue otherwise. Double dare…
IT takes a particular type of brazen bastard, a Turkish one, to be exact, to behave as if he is destined to lead the Islamic world. In the meanwhile, rivaling the anti-semitic tirades of the usual suspects – the foaming-at-the-mouth Iranian mullahs – Erdogan’s anti-semitism is second to none. Nevertheless, Erdogan’s frothing has been ratcheted up against Israel, even more than usual. Alas, the “Zionist entity” must be destroyed. If he says so…
BESIDES, even though other players are vying for the same top seat, as head of the resurrected Caliphate, just consider it through western eyes, akin to top level CEO candidates vying for the west’s biggest corp opening!
IN light of the above, there is much supportive evidence to the charges at hand. Moreover, as is said, timing is everything and Erdogan believes his time has come, now that Hamas and Israel are at war! He is DEEPLY in the fray.
AND since it is impossible to blow Islamic smoke in this blogger’s direction …never gonna happen…Erdogan “earned” a well-placed focal point at a major interview. The heat it generated was off the charts.
Adina Kutnicki: In answer to the all important question of Turkey, its position as a so called “moderate” Muslim nation and its relationship to Israel, a brief backgrounder is in order. Turkey has enjoyed a “pet” relationship within the west, ever since its membership in NATO began in 1952. And, while the honeymoon lasted a little over 50 years, not too long after Prime Minister Recep Erdogan took over the helm, in March 2003, as Turkey’s 25th PM, the government’s Islamist agenda (from a secular leaning/tolerant nation) reared its head. Their volte face was not done in rapid moves, but akin to the precepts of Stealth Jihad – incrementally, phase by phase.
It is essential to acknowledge that PM Erdogan is a devoted and dedicated leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, as elucidated at Aina.org. He is also President Obama’s BFF, and this is no secret. Indeed, it is more than instructive to view their relationship in global terms, particularly since the rise of Islamism throughout Turkey merges with its entrenchment within Washington’s corridors.
“Hamas is a terrorist group in search of a home. Uprooted by the Syrian civil war, and shaken by the Egyptian coup, the Hamas leadership has taken temporary shelter in Qatar, but that tiny emirate is showing every sign that they want the Islamist radicals to move on. So where would a radical Islamist terrorist group dedicated to the eradication of the State of Israel and whose charter endorses the crudest anti-Semitism turn? Perhaps to Turkey, America’s NATO ally and a country whose leader President Obama identified as one of his top personal foreign friends.”
According to Hürriyet Daily News:
“The prime ministry in Ankara was the venue for a meeting between the head of Hamas’ political bureau, Khaled Mashaal, and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan today. The meeting, which started at 7 p.m. and lasted for three hours, was closed to the press. Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, National Intelligence Agency (MİT) chief Hakan Fidan, Deputy Undersecretary for the Prime Minister’s Office İbrahim Kalın and advisor Sefer Turan were also present at the meeting, Anadolu Agency reported. The meeting between Mashaal and Erdoğan came around four months after their latest meeting. It came at a time when rumors suggest that Mashaal, currently in exile in Qatar, is searching for another place to live.”
The rapid march of the Islamic State or ISIS, from Syria into Iraq has rattled Washington and Brussels. Then we have the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is also heating up. And then we have the world powers continue to wrangle with Iran over its nuclear-weapons program. All this, and then we have Erdogan of Turkey meddling with all these affairs including aiding in the creation of the Islamic Caliphate in Syria and Iraq while “deceiving many” with a false hope of “peace”. By this he is setting the stage to establish the next Caliphate, if he hasn’t indirectly already done so.
But first lets discuss the warmongerings of Erdogan and then we will get to his attempts to deceive by peace. It was only last year that U.S. President Barack Obama chided Mr. Erdogan for “letting arms and fighters flow into Syria indiscriminately and sometimes to the wrong rebels, including anti-Western jihadists.” And as we predicted, the rift between Turkey and the U.S. is on its way, the U.S. is already criticizing Erdogan for his depicting Israel’s attacks on Gaza as having “surpassed Hitler in barbarism”.
Alarmingly, Erdoğan of Turkey still avoids calling the ISIS terrorists and last week, he even called them brothers. “A Muslim would not do this cruelty to another Muslim brother,” Erdoğan said during an iftar dinner. Erdogan wasn’t speaking of the throat-slitting savages killing other Muslims, but that Turkey would not fight any ISIS members, since the savage is simply a “Muslim brother”.
Erdogan is looking more like a “king of fierce countenance” (Dan 8:23) and is acting as if he is possessed by the devil shaping himself to be a candidate for Antichrist.
It was Erdoğan’s government that fostered al-Qaeda-linked or inspired groups in Syria and how they turned out to be a threat for both Iraq and Syria.
Human Rights Watch noted in an October report, “Many foreign fighters operating in northern Syria gain access to Syria via Turkey, from which they also smuggle their weapons, obtain money and other supplies, and sometimes retreat to for medical treatment.”
As Thomas Hegghammer of the Norwegian Defense Research Establishment said that, “Turkey is to Syria now what Pakistan was to Afghanistan in the 1990s.”
Ilir Kulla, an Albanian expert on international security who served the Albanian President said that the jihadists from Kosovo, Macedonia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina who have joined the civil war in Syria and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), adding that Turkey is their main transit route.
Ankara may also be serving as a remote headquarters for the Palestinian terror group Hamas. Senior Hamas figure Saleh al-Aruri “operates out of Turkey, with the backing of the Turkish government,” Ynet reported in October. And a high-ranking Israeli intelligence official confirmed his presence there, adding that al-Aruri is “one of the most important leaders of Hamas” and is “involved in a lot of things including finance and logistics.”
And when it comes to Iran, Turkey is not distancing itself from the terror state, but uniting with it. Amid global financial pressure to convince the Islamic Republic’s leadership to dismantle its illicit nuclear program, one of Turkey’s three state-owned banks, Halkbank, was allegedly executing gas-for-gold transactions with Iran. Turkey in 2012 and 2013 purchased Iranian natural gas in Turkish lira and transferred the proceeds to Halkbank accounts. Iranian traders then used these proceeds to buy gold from Turkey, which was shipped to Dubai before making its way to Iran.
Then, on December 17, 2013, a massive corruption probe in Turkey alleged multiple links between the Turkish political elite and a shadowy business network tied to Iran. One anti-AKP newspaper reported that Reza Zerrab, an Iranian-Azeri businessman, was “accused of being involved in irregular money transactions, mostly from Iran, that total some 87 billion euros.” Using his connections in Iran and Turkey, Mr. Zerrab moved “almost a metric ton of gold to Iran every day for 1 1/2 years” in transactions amounting to more than $28 billion, according to Bloomberg.
It was Turkey that helped the mullahs of Iran attain financial leverage at a crucial moment in the battle over Iran’s nuclear future. Now we can see Meshech and Tubal (Asia Minor/Turkey) ally with Persia (Iran). Ezekiel 38 is taking shape. It is crucial that students of the Bible pay close attention to Ezekiel 30 which points to Lydia (Turkey) and not Russia as commonly thought. We also see Iran (biblical Persia and Elam) nuclear buildup which will end up being used against Saudi Arabia (see Isaiah 21).
Erdogan of Turkey operates by deception, while by action is creating an Islamic alliance. Erdogan uses empty words of deception imploring NATO for assistance in repelling ISIS and opposing by words only an Iranian nuclear bomb while it condemns Israel’s West Bank manhunt by comparing Israel to Adolf Hitler while the U.S focuses on Russia.
It is becoming obvious that when we look at the violence that is taking place throughout the cities of Europe as we see Muslim thugs attempting to burn Paris to the ground and the chaos in the Middle East, it is becoming clear that Jihadist Islam is no longer an aberration. When someone asked the Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan what he thought of Moderate Islam, he sneered, “There is no such thing as Moderate Islam—only Islam.”
Islam today is not only making extinct ancient Christian presence in Iraq, but in Paris, Berlin, Rome, New York, Los Angeles, and wherever, we are no longer hearing, “Death to all Zionists!” We are now hearing, “Death to the Jews!”
Erdogan is behaving very similarly as the Bible describes the Antichrist; while he causes the conflicts, trouble and mayhem, by peace he is deceiving many. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, speaking at the World Islamic Scholars Peace, Moderation and Commonsense Initiative meeting organized by the Turkish Directorate of Religious Affairs recently, called on the Muslim world to unite, work for peace and leave aside sectarian differences. Starting his speech with a referral to Surat al-Hujurat from the Quran, Erdoğan stated that God orders believers to make peace with one another as all Muslims are a single community, without any distinction of caste, creed or color and noted that it is crucial for Muslims to stop killing each other. “We cannot see the application of these orders within the Muslim world,” said Erdoğan, who noted the serious conflicts in Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Palestine, Myanmar, Central African Republic and elsewhere. He added that Muslims are like brothers and sisters to each other and should not betray or lie to one another or steal their belongings, honor or lives.”
All that while he focuses on Jerusalem. “Don’t you feel the pain suffered by Palestinians, oh Muslim world!” exclaimed the prime minister, who stated they turn a blind eye to the Palestinian issue because it does not involve sectarian conflict.
As we stated in the past, if anyone is more poised for such a mission to establish a temporary seven year peace treaty, it looks like Erdogan is a prime candidate, even bringing Sunni and Shia to establish peace. Erdoğan called on the Shia Muslims and told them it is necessary for them to put sectarian differences aside and not be disturbed when they hear the name of Omar, who served as a Caliph after the death of Prophet Muhammad.
Shoebat.com recently reported that Shiites murdered a man because his name was Omar, named after the second caliph of the Sunnis.
It is crucial to note that Turkey is the best candidate to make peace between Shiites and Sunnis because they are Sufi Muslim. The names painted on these plaques in Hagia Sophia are Allah, Prophet Mohammed, the first four Caliphs Ebubekir, Omar, Osman and Ali, and the two grandsons of Mohammed, Hassan and Hussein. The last three (Ali, Hassan and Hussein) are the top Shiite icons. The Turks unlike the Wahhabists adore Ali, Hassan and Hussein.
“We should only recognize that we (both Shiite and Sunnis) are all Muslims” said Erdoğan, who stated that they cannot stand idly when Muslims are killing one another and said it is about time that they say stop to oppressors and aggressors who shed the blood of their Muslim brothers and sisters for the sake of oil, gold, money and rulership.
“We want to put an immediate stop to the shedding of blood” Erdoğan exclaimed, calling all sides to be moderate. He stated that all the conflicts in the Muslim world can be resolved if all Muslims put aside sectarian differences and stood for one another. “We know that peace, prosperity and solidarity are well deserved by the Middle East and are aware that all opportunities are present to establish this” said Erdoğan.
Erdogan is uniting Muslims. But he will fail to complete such mission since due to the linguistic and ethnic differences, they will remain fractured but nevertheless, they will ally under him in the future in hopes to regain Jerusalem.
While Erdogan supports the ISIS, he intends to replace the Caliphate by appointing himself the Caliph and is why Erdoğan also referred to the terrorist organizations which claim to act on behalf of Islam such as the self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) criticizing them for attacking and slaughtering fellow Muslims based on sectarian differences.
We expect that someday, it will be Caliph Erdogan if he hasn’t already. Erdogan continues to present himself as the next Caliph, or spiritual and political leader of ‘the Islamic world.’ It was Bashar Assad who once said that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan thinks of himself as a Caliph:
Tayyip Erdogan thinks that if the Muslim Brotherhood takes over in the Middle East region – and especially in Syria – he can guarantee his own political future. Tayyip also personally thinks he is the new Ottoman sultan and that he can control the Middle East as it was controlled during the Ottoman Empire under a new umbrella
MOST significantly, the following was noted and it was not for nothing:
Nevertheless, once the dots are connected one is able to see from there to here: as to why Obama Inc. not only lied to the American people, but waged an ILLEGAL war in Libya, even thoughdisguised under the “legal” cover of R2P. Samantha Powers devised this “kosherized” scheme, “Responsibility to Protect”, to allow American radicals to upend foreign regimes, those they deemed “necessary” to assist their Muslim Brotherhood partners in crime. Pinkie swears.
FEWcan assert, at least with any credibility, that Erdogan is a “moderate” Muslim leader. And if the following words are not enough, well, nothing will suffice, evidencing Erdogan’s vile animus and wildly dangerous platform:
HOWEVER, to truly internalize what’s what, to see from there to here, it is imperative to first remove ones blinders in a dispassionate manner, regardless of the horrific facts on the ground. This is not a contradiction in terms, but a recipe for a reality-based inquiry.
IN essence, only the willfully deluded or the wholly complicit can still deny that Islamic warriors aren’t purging Christians from their midst. Not only that, their killing fields have been in operation from time immemorial. However, with the advent of alternative and social media, well, it’s now front and center “news”.
Nun, Iraq’s Yellow Star of David
BUT to the west’s everlasting shame, as long as Jews are their main targets, most prefer to pretend that what is isn’t and to just close their eyes to the obvious wildfires. But the saying, first the Saturday people, then the Sunday people, couldn’t be any more prescient. Hauntingly so. Its efficacy is expounded upon in many places, but the following two should suffice:
The Islamist motto, “On Saturday we kill the Jews, on Sunday we kill the Christians” — or, more tactfully, “First the Saturday People, then the Sunday People” — isn’t just a slogan. It’s a plan for religious cleansing, pronounced by radical leaders and enacted by jihadi warriors.
Today, nearly all the Saturday people are gone from the countries that were their homelands for centuries, even millennia.
And, today, the Christians — the Sunday people — are paying a terrible price for their faith. Particularly in Egypt and in Syria, where virtually no Jews remain, stories of assaults on Christian homes and businesses; wanton destruction of churches; the disappearance, rape, and murder of women; mob-driven atrocities against women, men, and children; and the murder of priests and pastors are reported nearly every day.
NEXT up, this blogger’s interviews at Inquisitr.com , highlight the same:
Killings and lootings in Christian neighborhoods continue unabated, with impunity, in Iraq, in Egypt, and elsewhere.
In the days between September 20 and October 12, 2008, fifteen young Christians were murdered in cold blood on the streets of Mosul, Iraq. A manhunt was launched. None of the offenders were ever brought to justice.Killings and lootings in Christian neighborhoods continue unabated, with impunity, in Iraq, in Egypt, and elsewhere, everywhere Near Eastern Christians came into view. Nothing unusual! On July 18, 2014, in a statement reading like a ninth century religious edict, the Caliphate of the Islamic State (IS) delivered a 24-hour ultimatum to the Christians of Mosul, commanding them to “convert to Islam, submit to the [discriminatory] laws of dhimma, or meet the sword.”Soon thereafter the Arabic letter nuun (“N” for Nasraani or Nazarene), a demeaning scarlet-letter connoting dhimmitude like the yellow-star inscribed “Jude” that became the symbol of Nazi persecution of Jews, began cropping up on the outer walls and doorways of Christian properties. Private homes, businesses, and places of worship were now designated halal (ritually legitimate for confiscation and looting as part of the religious spoils of war), designating them waqf (inalienable religious endowments of the Muslim Umma community.) The squaring of this circle is at hand; the destruction of Near Eastern Christendom is well under way and making forboding progress. A mass exodus of Iraqi “Nazarenes” is indeed in full swing in our time.This was the order of things in times past. For centuries in the Middle East, the cross got trampled in the dust of Abraham. Christian quarters disappeared, neighborhoods counted their dead, clergy gave last rites, and panic gripped those precious few left behind in quiet desperation.The plight of Near Eastern Christians does not make for catchy headlines. It is not worthy of second, third, or even last-page news in the mainstream press.Newswire stories often get copied verbatim in a perfunctory manner by national outlets, usually drawing from French and other European services, like AFP or Reuters, before they get buried behind more newsworthy dispatches. There is clearly a hierarchy in the media’s treatment of some Middle East violence; some Middle Eastern victims merit (and get) airtime during primetime. That is, they do as long as the words “Muslim” or “Islam” figure in the victims’ names and there is a non-Muslim perpetrator. Near Eastern Christians, uncouth “cross-wearing” primitives, are not a top priority for the Western world’s outrage or moral sensibility.Their anguish is not sufficiently telegenic. The victims are after all “too Christian” in a world plagued by cultural relativism and false conceptions of the Middle East as a homogenous Arab or Muslim preserve, where political correctness demands that only Arabs and Muslims serve as righteous victims and only non-Muslims, the perennial offender.The Middle East’s Christians are indigenous remnants of distinct ancient civilizations.Their modern-day sagas of dispossession and persecution have been a phenomenon fourteen centuries in the making. Their tormentors often proudly brandish symbols and edicts of Islam. An honest recognition of this legacy may be imperative to a sound understanding of the turmoil plaguing the region in our time, but seasoned commentators, venerable Middle East experts, and serious academics continue to deal with the plight of Near Eastern Christians in cursory fashion, often concluding with mind-numbing claims that the shrinking numbers of Middle Eastern Christians is the outcome of modern ills ranging from economic hardships, to American intrusions, to the Arab-Israeli conflict, and sometimes to the putative precursor of Western colonialism, the eleventh century Crusades.Gone from this appealing narrative are the seventh century Arab-Muslim conquests of the Middle East and the subjugation, expulsions, massacres, and mass population movements that they inflicted on residents of the area. Indeed, the destruction of Near Eastern Christians is hardly a modern phenomenon — although the viciousness of IS and other likeminded Islamists in our time might give, in some quarters, the aura of a novel anomaly. And so the silent exodus continues disguised, underhanded, unnoticed.AS OF this writing, the United Nations Security Council has already convened three times to condemn the onslaught against Gaza with full throated voices.Yet, not a single expression of outrage has come from any official quarters – no denunciation of the ethnic cleansing of the ancient Christian communities of Iraq. But the onus is not on the international community alone. This is a tragedy besetting all Muslims and Arabs of good conscience as well. Some Muslims and Arabs have indeed called out to their own, pressing for introspection, scrutiny, and accountability. On July 21, 2014, in a searing, soul-searching cri de coeur in the Kuwaiti daily Al-Qabas, Ahmad al-Sarraf issued a decent man’s indictment of the crimes being committed in the name of his faith against the battered Christians of the Near East. In an inflammatory, yet tongue-in-cheek editorial, titled ‘Begone, O Christians,’ Sarraf courageously noted – in a facetious diatribe lampooning the IS playbook – that Muslims could not care less that Near Eastern Christians are indigenous peoples of Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Palestine.
He demanded that they be expelled anyway, “so that Muslims would no longer be put to shame when their eyes meet the searching gaze of Christians wondering what had gone awry with Islam!” “Yes, begone already,” concluded Sarraf, “And take with you your mercy! For, with al-Nusra, ISIS and al-Qaeda and the rest of them on our side — the gangs of Muslim Brothers and their latest finest products — we are scarcely in need of [the Christians’] mercy and compassion.
Let the bloodletting commence! Let the violence reign supreme! Let the hearts get ripped out of their chest-cavities, and let human livers get eaten raw! Let the tongues be torn out! Let the necks get hacked off, and the knees get shattered! For, we shall eagerly return to the medicine of old, to our herbal remedies and our old musty books of alchemy and witchcraft! […] Yes, begone, O Christians, and leave us be to our desert creed! For, we crave the glint of our swords, the heat of our sands, and the energy of our mules! We scarcely need you, your civilization, or your scientific and literary contributions, for, we have our own capital in abundance; our own gangs of murderers and bloodthirsty butchers and executioners. Scram, you Christians, and spare us your civilization! We are replacing your culture with that of the gravediggers,” wrote Sarraft.
Near Eastern Christians have been regarded as the “native Americans” of the Middle East by many, “the ones who were there first.” They constituted twenty percent of the region’s population at the turn of the last century, a decent percentage by any measure given the millennial history of Islam as hegemon in that part of the world. Yet in our second decade of the twenty-first century, the numbers of Near Eastern Christians had dwindled to a mere five percent.
In the past hundred years, prejudice against them was no longer the veiled affliction of a bigoted few; it had become the banner of those who allegedly speak for Islam.
The agonizing fate of Iraq’s Christians today may be a latest flare-up of hostilities.
But it is symptomatic of a longstanding epidemic that has, for fourteen centuries, pitted the youngest of the “Children of Abraham” against their elders. Ironically enough, those Iraqi Christians, trampled as they are in the dust of Abraham, are being oppressed in the supposed birthplace of Abraham, no less by an ISIS Caliph fashioned as “Ibrahim,” the Arabic rendering of Abraham.
Maybe the pendulum of the world’s moral outrage may swing in favor of Iraq’s Christians before it is too late. Or maybe, in Luke the Evangelist’s words, “the stones will cry out” if the world opts to remain silent. But until then, the latest chapter in the saga of destruction of Near Eastern Christendom goes on unabated. And Assyrians, Chaldaeans, Copts, Maronites, Armenians and others, precious few remaining specimens of the world’s oldest civilizations, quietly shuffle into extinction in mournful anonymity and oblivion.
AS a result, IDF wars are fought akin to legal battles, as opposed to life and death operations against genocidal foes. And this is where the rubber meets the road, or, more trenchantly, where soldiers are left without proper (air) cover, under the dastardly “holier than thou” political dictate: do NOT harm the Gazan (enemy) civilian population! Never mind that they voted for a genocidal terror leadership, and in a “democratic” process no less. Shades of Hitler’s “democratic” election. Have mercy.
“Testimony that is reaching us from fighter pilots who provide close air assistance to the combat soldiers who are currently fighting in the field,”Channel 2’s military correspondent Nir Dvori reported, “about growing frustration over the fact that they hear the forces below them on the ground asking for cover and close air support when they see the terrorists drawing near from short range, firing at them, and there is no approval, because of various limitations, so as not to hit innocent civilians, and out of concern not to hit uninvolved people, and for this reason they cannot always give covering fire, cannot always fire, and so the frustration is that to some extent, they are leaving the fighters on their own to fight on the ground…”
Yaron Lerman, a Facebook user who posted video of Dvori’s statement, asked: “Does Israel, as a Jewish and democratic state, have the right to forcibly conscript its citizens and send them to their deaths so as not to hurt enemy civilians? Is that what the state of Israel was established for?”
Ynet’s veteran defense analyst Ron Ben Yishai reported that one of the reasons that Hamas was prepared to face Israeli ground troops in the Shejaiya neighborhood, where IDF suffered 13 killed in one day of fighting, is that the residents were given ample advance notice of the IDF’s intent to enter the neighborhood.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz took pride in the fact that the IDF takes such care to notify residents of its attack plans. “We cannot agree for Hamas to place civilians in our path,” he said earlier thisweek. “So what we have done is to warn the civilians over and over again to evacuate. There are no armies like this, which drop leaflets, call on the phone, bomb next to the target or carry out a ‘knocks on the roof,’ and even disperse the residents with smoke.” {blogger’s note: and it is precisely what the COS crows about which also endangers the soldiers, as the enemy has ADVANCE notice of an impending attack!}
Thousands of Hamas-linked terrorists planned to invade Israel on the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah), which begins on September 24, according to an Israel security source.
First reported by Ma’ariv, then in English by i24news, “thousands of terrorists were meant to cross over to Israel from Gaza through the tunnels and kill and kidnap as many Israelis as they could. The source added that the army learned about the huge planned attack during the interrogations of Hamas prisoners, captured during Operation Protective Edge in Gaza.”
Reportsstate that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed his cabinet about the foiled plot during a Thursday cabinet meeting. The leader of the Jewish State reportedly expressed to officials that if this attack was not stopped, the number of Israeli fatalities may have been higher than the over 2,200 deaths Israel suffered during 1973 Yom Kippur War.
During Israel’s recent incursion into Gaza, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have set their sights on destroying Hamas’ sophisticated tunnel system. In the past, the U.S.-designated terror group has successfully infiltrated the Jewish State, resulting in the killing and kidnapping of Israeli soldiers. The last occurrence was on July 19 when two IDF soldiers lost their lives and the assailants were able to escape back to Gaza through a tunnel. Gen. James T. Conway, USMC (ret.) recently returned from Israel, where he was joined by a dozen retired U.S. generals and admirals, sponsored by Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA). While there, the group toured a tunnel from Gaza recently discovered near an Israeli kindergarten.
“Unlike tunnels that I had seen during the Iraq war that were designed for smuggling, this Hamas tunnel was designed for launching murder and kidnapping raids. The 3-mile-long tunnel was reinforced with concrete, lined with telephone wires, and included cabins unnecessary for infiltration operations but useful for holding hostages,” the retired General wrote in the Wall Street Journal.
Israel has reportedly destroyed over 30 tunnels during “Operation Protective Edge.” The Jewish State contends that Hamas, which governs Gaza, devotes resources to building tunnels to commit acts of terrorism, instead of building homes, parks, schools and hospitals.
An article published by the Gatestone Institute quotes an Israeli spokesman’s observation that “there are two Gazas, one above ground and one below ground: an underground terrorist city.”
LEST anyone believes that the tunnel threats evolved out of thin air, and that they didn’t have a clue about the gargantuan strategic dangers, think again. As a matter of record, the leadership knew about the threat – and in great detail, through a highly commissioned report from a national security expert – back in 2004, but played deaf, dumb and blind! Unconscionable.
He is responsible for the discovery of the Dalit and Tamar natural-gas reservoirs. The Tamar field, which ended up containing an estimated 282 billion cubic meters of the resource, is already hooked up to Israeli gas lines.Just as his evidence for the Mediterranean gas reservoirs was not initially taken seriously, Langotsky said he regrets that the defense system did not listen to his warnings about the tunnel system that has been expanding continually across the Gazan border.“I’ve been warning them [the defense establishment] that the kidnapping, God forbid, of a few soldiers or a few civilians and their transfer as hostages to enemy territory – either along the border with Gaza or Lebanon – is a highly possible mode of action,” said Dr.Joseph Langotsky. He has been trying to convince defense officials of the importance of pinpointing and destroying the tunnels that exist in Gaza and along the Lebanese border for nearly a decade.“For 10 years I’ve been crying and screaming to the highest possible levels – to the Defense Ministry, the chief of staff, the commanding officers of southern and northern command – that although the tunnels are a low-tech option, they might be a strategic threat to our security,” Langotsky told the Post.Langotsky said he continually “bombarded” defense officials with warnings, but little effort was made to correct this strategic liability for many years. He also criticized the officials for failing to involve the Geophysical Institute of Israel in researching the tunnels problem.
WHILE all the above is transpiring, endangering soldiers and citizens alike, as always, the political leadership does nothing to protect Zion. Adding insult to grave injury, while the IDF risks life and limb to protect the JEWISH homeland, the leaders utterly fail, once again, to do their due diligence.
1. Arabs rioted on the Temple Mount, which is not a new occurrence.
2. Arab mobs broke into a police station attached to the Temple Mount and looted and destroyed everything inside and stole police equipment.
3. Arabs raised the Flag of the PLO Terror organization (Palestinian Flag) atop of structures on the Temple Mount.
One could argue that last night Israel once and for all relinquished any semblance of Israeli-Jewish sovereignty left on the Temple Mount. This Tisha Ba’Av will certainly take on renewed meaning.
BOTTOM LINE: as evidenced, past is prologue and Zionists are doubly screwed; by their leaders and their Arab foes!
Even the morning after the riot the Palestinian Flag flies over the Temple Mount
Arab Victory – Arabs Raise Flag over the Temple Mount
Israeli Police Station burned and destroyed
Everything in ruins
Destruction of the Temple Mount police station
Destruction of the Temple Mount police station
Booty of war
Police Equipment Looted and will be used for terror
Police Equipment Looted and will be used for terror on our Beit HaMikdash
Police Equipment Looted and will be used for terror
Arabs burn looted objects from the Police Station
YES, as with the IDF/IAF, politically hamstrung police only know how to control Jews, while the enemy runs free to steal the Jewish patrimony! Is it any wonder that silence is NOT an option, even during wartime?
IN this regard, Islamists, due to the opening lent them via their leftist collaborators, grabbed westerners by the short hairs. They are running circles around patriotic Americans, as well as nationalists within western countries. But while leftists surely are pleased with said outcome, the fact of the matter is that many average folks truly think that being liberal simply means demonstrating compassion for the other. Not so fast. There is such a thing as being so wedded to liberalism that your brains fall out. Yet, the most salient question remains: how did it get to this tipping point?
IN the meanwhile, Islamists are free to wage a bloody war across the globe in the name of the same “religion”! Not only that, political Islam, its mainstay, is implanting across the world and nothing is being done to stop its thrust. Yes, America is ripe for their picking. Indeed, the once mighty nation leading the free world has now become the gateway for barbarism. Its epicenter.
SIGNIFICANTLY, the Muslim Brotherhood’s new “American” political party – the basis for this commentary, the parent of Hamas which uses its civilians as human shields, while they target Israel’s civilian population – is front and center within Capitol Hill and ready to take America by storm. Literally.
A facebook post by Taher Herzallah, leader of one of the groups represented in a recently formed Muslim political party in the U.S., clearly celebrates Israeli casualties and the group that has caused them – Hamas. The post has since been taken down (screenshot below).As the National Campus Coordinator for American Muslims for Palestine, Herzallah also represents the US Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO), an organization formed with Muslim Brotherhood front groups in America to create the first Muslim Brotherhood political party in the U.S. Earlier this year, Shoebat.com reported on the founding member groups of USCMO. They include CAIR, MAS, and ICNA. As far as posts to social media that reveal the true feelings of these supposed Muslim civil rights groups, CAIR’s Executive Director Nihad Awad was caught using doublespeak earlier this month with twitter. Upon learning the news that convicted terrorist financier Sami al-Arian had been released from jail, Awad sent out two tweets – one in English and one in Arabic. They were not the same; the Arabic tweet blamed the ‘Israeli lobby’ as Shoebat.com reported. Last month, USCMO held its inauguration in Washington, DC. Two of the speakers at the event were Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) and Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN); they represent the only two Muslims in Congress. The goal of USCMO is clearly to help elect more.Another prominent figure within USCMO is Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the first World Trade Center bombing who is closely connected to the infamous “Blind Sheikh”, Omar Abdel Rahman. Wahhaj was one of the speakers at the USCMO inauguration, alongside Ellison and Carson. As Shoebat.comreported, Glenn Greenwald and Wahhaj shared a podium at a 2013 CAIR banquet. Greenwald is the ‘journalist’ who provided Edward Snowden a platform to release highly sensitive NSA information. According to an exhaustive article Greenwald wrote in defense of highly suspect Muslim figures in the U.S., he claimed that though Awad expressed support for Hamas in 1994, he stopped doing so when the group moved into the realm of suicide bombings. If that were true, Awad should condemn the elation of Herzallah.
Hamas/CAIR Wave the Banner of Jihad in Miami! {presented by this blogger’s contact, Tom Trento}
ASIDE from all the other proofs offered above, the fact of the matter is that the Muslim Brotherhood is a defacto terror org, as designated by U.S. authorities!
and this is not up for debate, how can its parent, the Muslim Brotherhood, open its own political party (under whatever cockamamie hydra name they conjure up) via a membership list which is a who’s who listing of the Brotherhood? In the main, less than zero degrees separated!
NOT only that, but this site’s readership is more than familiar with the tie-ins between Obama Inc. and the Muslim Brotherhood Mafia. Volumes of evidence. Truckloads.
THEREFORE, it makes total sense, under Barack HUSSEIN Obama, a Muslim Brotherhood political party would emerge. But it doesn’t answer the most pressing question of all: will millions of patriots allow their treachery to infiltrate and dominate America’s body politic, eventually destroying the nation as a Constitutional democracy?
IT is not for nothing that this blogger repeatedly targets Valerie Jarrett. Agreed, there are more than enough dangerous players – operating inside and outside Capitol Hill – to report on, but her central status, as the KEY confidante to Barack HUSSEIN Obama, is commensurate with her out-sized danger. Folks, do not be fooled by her petite stature. She is more lethal than the most venomous snake, capable of taking down America and bringing her crashing down. To her knees. Yes, this is a bold-faced statement, but no less true.
INHERENTLY, her bloody fingerprints are all over the map, domestically and foreign policy-wise. Concomitantly, through her domestic mischief-making, as the “wizardess of Oz” behind the (transformation) curtain, she should be considered America’s Number One Insider Enemy. Implanted in the nation’s heart.
IN tandem, her foreign interference is second to none. Don’t dare forget this. Most significantly, she (and Barack HUSSEIN Obama) straddles both the Sunni and Shia divide…it just depends where her hatchet is needed.
Hatchet Number One:
BUT in order not to confuse the volume of machinations attributed to Valerie Jarrett, let’s separate her domestic fires from her foreign ones.
IN this regard, co-opting (with full permission from the Fraud-in-Chief) DHS – the umbrella organ of the Fed’s related agencies, even if not officially recorded as such – has allowed her to exert TOTAL control over EVERY aspect of domestic ins and outs. Nothing is outside her domain.
SANS a doubt, the epicenter for global terror originates in Iran, even though major Sunni players are not far behind. For the record, Jarrett is a self-described Iranian-American and her tentacles reach straight into the recesses of its supreme leader.
The report on Israel’s Channel 10 quoted unnamed senior Israeli officials who said that the talks, which have reportedly been underway for a year, have been held in various Persian Gulf states.
Exactly one year ago, the Israeli newspaper Ynet reported that Jarrett was beginning to communicate behind the scenes with representatives of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
AS a result, Jarrett’s Iranian footprints were all over this blog. They have been center stage. They never abated.
Iranian Footprints Galore:
BASICALLY, throughout the so-called “negotiations” with Iran’s Hitlerite regime, America’s own hatchet woman has been shuttling back and forth between Washington and other world capitals, ensuring that Iran joins the “nuclear club”. As this American-Israeli noted in Nov. 2013…..
But if not for a highly trusted contact in mid 2012, at the inception of this site, the reportage on Val would have been minimal, if at all. A heads up from an “in the know” Washington, DC associate kept dropping hints….again and again. It is important to give credit where it is due. No one is an island.
That being said, a starting point was documented, one which included Valerie Jarrett’s crimes against America and Israel in particular and the west in general.
MOREOVER, aside from her promises to Iran’s (Shia) genocidal mullahs that its WMD program will remain a fait accompli, it is not at all contradictory that Barack HUSSEIN Obama is siding with Sunni Qatar and Turkey’s mischief against Israel in its defensive war against Hamas – an offshoot of Egypt’s Brotherhood. Trenchantly, they are coming full circle to the aid of their Sunni and Shia com-padres, as mentioned in the 4th paragraph of this commentary – “it just depends where her hatchet is needed”.
REST assured, she (and her boss) is as jacked up with the Muslim Brotherhood’s Sunni terror groups – proven by their orchestrations via Benghazigate, cited below – as she is with her Shia contacts. Whatever it takes. As long as America and Israel go down, all options are on the table.
ESSENTIALLY, before viewing the following MUST see video, a brief intro is mandatory. The situation is so complex, meandering and Machiavellian that even intelligent folks are left scratching their heads. So, as a gift to the readers, let this overview commence with a previous commentary, one which predicted this week’s warning from Western Center for Journalism.
ENTER…the “Blind Sheikh” and his intersection with Benghazigate. Mind you, the following was written in Sept. 2012, soon after Benghazigate exploded!
As a brief rendition/indictment, please see the following. Pay strict attention to his protege, El-Said Nosair, the murderer of Rabbi Kahane, as well as others too.
Valerie Jarrett is Barack Obama’s closest adviser.
According to Barack Obama himself, no presidential decision is made without her, creating what amounts to a co-presidency shared between Obama and Valerie Jarrett. According to insiders, she is often seen walking the halls of the White House late into the night, being dubbed “The Night Stalker” by Obama’s Secret Service detail.
But this “Night Stalker” moniker may mean more than sneaking into Obama’s chambers to secretly discuss what the “co-presidency” is planning. The “Night Stalker” may be planning the destruction of a country she abhors: the United States.
Watch this groundbreaking video to learn of the claim that Jarrett was behind the botched plan to kidnap ambassador Chris Stevens on September 11, 2012, as part of a plan to eventually destroy the United States!
IT goes without saying, regardless of one’s best laid plans, even the most powerful people in the world have to adapt their strategies, when events suddenly and unexpectedly go awry. Benghazigate demonstrates said truth.
AND, as described in the above video, the malignant White House duo (with attendant agencies via helpmates) had every intention of springing the infamous “Blind Sheikh”, one of the highest valued demands of the Sunni Brotherhood Mafia.
AND the fact that Iran’s Shia Quds forces were deeply involved in the plan, well, it attests to a main thesis hammered within: regardless of this or that “religious” divide, the fact of the matter is that Islamists – of all stripes – always join hands when it comes to killing infidels.
ATOP their collaborative efforts belie the deaths of as many Christians and Jews, wherever they reside. America and Israel are their top targets. Prime meat.
Terror-tied U.S. defense contractor, Rahim Sabadia…another mobbed up Brotherhood operative.
WHILE some would like to believe that CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood’s U.S. propaganda arm, its spearhead, is “in the dog house” in Washington’s circles – due to its unindicted co-conspirator status during the Holy Land (Terror) Foundation trial – the fact of the matter is that this is nothing short of fantasy land.
On its website, the USCMO even describes itself as “an umbrella group” for Muslims. Founding members of this USCMO are proven ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and include the Muslim American Society (MAS), the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and others. Of course, it’s easy to see how the Muslim Brotherhood would be the “umbrella group” for the USCMO.
It’s not uncommon for the Muslim Brotherhood to have a separate, political party that does its bidding. In Egypt, the Freedom and Justice Party was one such entity and it was the party of Mohammed Mursi, who is now in jail and identified as a leader of a terrorist organization, a designation the new government in Egypt has given to the group.
Awad knows what it’s like to wield influence in Washington, D.C. As head of CAIR, he led one of the many groups that gained access to the George W. Bush White House both before and after 9/11/01. In fact, Awad, along with Dr. Yahya Basha, who was president of the now-defunct American Muslim Council, Salam Al-Marayati, the Executive Director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), and Muzammil Siddiqi, then-President of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), were all relied upon by the Bush administration to help develop the dangerously flawed strategy of what was actually Muslim Brotherhood outreach.
As Shoebat.com has reported, Yahya Basha now serves on the board of the highly suspect Syrian Emergency Task Force (SETF), which found controversy when Political Director for the group, Elizabeth O’Bagy didn’t disclose a significant conflict of interest. Senator John McCain read from a Wall Street Journal Op-ed O’Bagy wrote to justify assisting Syrian jihadists. McCain hired O’Bagy after she was fired. Basha continues to be listed as a Board member of the group.
MPAC’s Al-Marayati was appointed as the U.S. State Department’s envoy to a human rights conference back in 2012, which Shoebat.com reported at the time.
REGARDLESS of everything else, CAIR’s footprints keep popping up, each and every time jihad in America rears its head. Why is this? Why indeed.
Factor Four:
NOT only that, CAIR’s penetration into the FBI makes nonsense out of the claim, yes, it has been marginalized within Washington’s agencies.
ACCORDING to Dave Gaubatz, a premiere counter-terrorism expert, whose access is second to none, the following is noted:
I receive internal emails from the ADAMS Center,ADAMS CENTER ISLAMIC ORGANIZATION SITE The Executives of the ADAMS Center are very closely aligned with CAIR National. CAIR Executives often flip flop and join one another’s terrorist supporting organization. The ADAMS Center and CAIR National have previously been investigated and/or raided by the FBI. Why would the FBI recruit from Islamic terror organzations for sensitive positions, such as FBI Special Agents and FBI Analysts. The positions require a Top Secret clearance.
The answer is there is no good reason to recruit from terrorist organizations and supporters of terrorist. FBI Special Agent Amylynn Errera, Washington Field Office sent the email to Farooq Syed, ADAMS Center. Farooq then forwarded the email about FBI positions to members of their internal group of supporters. I was provided a copy by a source.
The FBI sends these job opening to Islamic terror supporters, yet I would make a multi-million dollar bet that no one from the Tea Party, ACT For America, and dozens of other conservative groups are provided an up front notice of sensitive job positions in the FBI. There are good people within the FBI, but the majority are not properly trained in regards to Islamic terrorism issues. Then there are some who knowingly have relationships with organizations that pose a threat to our national security.
The ADAMS Center has previously been raided for their support of terrorism (RAID ON ADAMS CENTER). I encourage readers to contact Special Agent Amylynn Errera and ask her why Islamic terror supporters (per the FBI’s own allegations) are being recruited for TOP SECRET positions within the FBI. Her contact information is at the bottom of the email she sent to the ADAMS Center.
U.S. government employees are paid their salaries by American taxpayers. They are not above the law and must answer to the American people. Dave Gaubatz

InfraGard co-coordinator, National Capital Region chapter
FBI / Washington Field Office / Northern Virginia Resident Agency
IN effect, this blogger wants the reader to just consider Rahim Sabadia, aka Abdur Rahim Noormohamed (hmm…one of his aliases), as the tip of the Brotherhood’s high level security accessing arm to the Pentagon, even though reportedly revoked. As if….
Four years after the Pentagon suspended the security clearance of Rahim Sabadia — a South African-born, California-based defense contractor who has bankrolled the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) — new discoveries raise questions about how he had been permitted to hold one in the first place. Documents analyzed by Islamist Watch show that Sabadia’s foundation donated to an infamous Hamas-funding charity and other radicals, that in 1985 he pleaded guilty to the sale of illegal listening devices, and that immigration officials had ordered him out of the country a decade earlier. Topping off this troubling record, Sabadia recently pleaded guilty to providing false information to a Navy procurement officer in a scheme to recapture an old contract. The Sabadia saga is a warning that Islamists and their sympathizers must be kept away from the sensitive technologies and institutions that protect America.
Concerns about Sabadia initially came to light in a 2011 article by Matt Pearce and Brooke Williams for the Orange County Register. While researching the millions of taxpayer dollars that had been flowing to Sabadia’s Sabtech Industries — thanks, in part, to earmarks fromGary Miller, a Republican congressman whose campaign chest was regularly filled by Sabadia and his wife — the journalists learned that Sabadia had lost his secret-level clearance in 2010. As a result, his company had to stop work on a lucrative contract to upgrade the Navy’s Aegis combat system, a key component of ballistic missile defense. Federal agencies did not disclose the reason for the suspension, but Pearce and Williams located an internal email citing worries about “charitable contributions.”
The authors note that Sabadia, via the Sabadia Family Foundation (SFF), distributes money to “many Islamic education, relief, and humanitarian organizations,” and “one of the foundation’s large beneficiaries — receiving at least $1.2 million since 2002 — is the Council on American-Islamic Relations.” CAIR has been on the outs in Washington due to its designation as an unindicted co-conspirator in the case against the Holy Land Foundation, a charity convicted in 2008 of funneling millions to Hamas. In another interesting CAIR–Sabadia link, Omar Zaki, Sabtech’s onetime vice president, is CAIR’s current national chairman.
Sabadia’s massive financing of CAIR, which has reached $1.296 million for its Los Angeles chapter based on available SFF tax filings (2001–12), as well as lesser support for similar Islamist pressure groups, certainly should have grabbed the Defense Department’s attention. However, there have been far more disturbing recipients of the Sabadia family’s largesse.
The most notorious SFF grantee was the Holy Land Foundation itself, which collected $3,300 in 2001, the year that federal authorities finally shut it down. Also enjoying Sabadia’s generosity in 2001 was the American Muslim Foundation, which pocketed $700. That organization was led by the high-profile Islamist Abdurahman Alamoudi, who is now serving a long prison term following his role in an international assassination plot. Additionally, the SFF has gifted $1.177 million (2001–12) to Islamic Relief USA, which is a subsidiary and funder of Islamic Relief Worldwide, a charity that, according to an Americans for Peace and Tolerance report, “has multiple associations with Hamas fundraising and with the Muslim Brotherhood leadership in the U.S., Europe, and Sudan.”
The SFF’s roster of beneficiaries also betrays a fondness for radical mosques and imams. In 2001, the foundation gave $4,500 to Oakland’sMasjid Al-Islam, which, in the words of the Anti-Defamation League, is “affiliated with the anti-Semitic Sabiqun movement, which seeks to establish Islamic rule in the U.S.” Even the Southern Poverty Law Center, known for vilifying critics of Islamism, calls Masjid Al-Islam and the Sabiqun network “hate groups.” In 2002, the SFF sent $100 to defend Jamil al-Amin, an imam convicted that year of the 2000 murder of a Georgia sheriff’s deputy. He has since been identified as the head of the Ummah, another entity striving for an Islamic state within U.S. borders. In 2007, the SFF contributed $25,000 to Brooklyn’s Masjid At-Taqwa, which the New York Police Department classified among the city’s “tier one mosques of concern.” That is largely due to the influence of Imam Siraj Wahhaj, who was listed as one of the “unindicted persons who may be alleged as co-conspirators” in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the foiled follow-up attacks. Wahhaj, too, dreams of a Shari’a-governed America.
Sabadia’s run-ins with the law should have raised further red flags for those vetting him. On January 21, 1985, Sabadia was hit with a seven-count federal indictment (Central District of Illinois) for selling electronic devices “primarily useful for the purpose of the surreptitious interception of wire or oral communications,” contrary to Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 2512. Investigators had caught him peddling “telephone drop-in FM transmitters,” “ink pen FM transmitters,” and “‘snooper’ contact microphones.” Sabadia pleaded guilty to three counts and was sentenced to three years of probation for each, set to run concurrently, and insignificant fines and restitution.
Besides outing his past criminality, the 1985 court papers expose Sabadia’s former name, Abdur Rahim Noormohamed, which can still be found on variouswebsites. It turns up somewhere else as well: in documents that place Noormohamed/Sabadia at the heart of an immigration dispute during the 1970s.
According to a decision from an Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) district director dated May 23, 1977, Noormohamed/Sabadia entered the U.S. from Switzerland in January 1976 on a nonimmigrant visa for business in New York on behalf of a textile company. He soon went to Dallas and joined his brother Moosa in a separate venture exporting electronics. When his six-month admission was nearly up, Noormohamed/Sabadia applied for permanent residence based on the claim that he was a qualified investor. The INS official ruled that he did not meet the requirements, rejected his application, and instructed him to leave the country, declaring: “It can only be concluded that you and your brother did not enter the United States in good faith as nonimmigrants without any intention of circumventing the quota restrictions of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended.” In other words, they had planned to remain in the U.S. from the start. The INS district directordismissed a motion to reconsider his decision, the INS regional commissioner affirmed the denial, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas backed the INS, and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals approved the ruling. Yet Noormohamed/Sabadia managed to stay. A documentfrom a legal case explored below notes that he married Nafees El Batool in 1979 and became a U.S. citizen in 1989….read the whole thing….
THE very fact that prosecutors – those who are tasked with protecting the people’s interest – soft-pedaled Sabadia, a well-connected, well-funded jihadi “defense” contractor, attests to the degraded state of affairs on every conceivable level in the realm of national security.
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….
AND now that Islam’s blood pact is thoroughly understood, as depressing as it is, please keep your eyes peeled. Don’t veer away. Besides, as is said, the truth shall set you free. Say what? Well, once reality sets in, the fact of the matter is that the blinders come off too. As such, the more truths one can amass, westerners are equipped to not only spread them, but to hammer their leaders to reveal them! A win-win. View the above as your clarion call. Your mission statement.
IN tandem, absorb the following as extra (mental) ammunition…
Given that Allah hates non-Muslims to the extent that he would prevent them from knowing the truth, cause them to err and then condemn them to eternal torture for their unbelief and misdeeds, it would make little sense if he intended Muslims to treat unbelievers by the same standards that they treat each other here on earth.
The Quran says that no true Muslim would ever love anyone who resists Islam, even if it is a family member:
Thou wilt not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, loving those who resist Allah and His Messenger, even though they were their fathers or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred. (58:22)
There are at least nine places in the Quran where believers are warned not to befriend non-Muslims:
O ye who believe! Take not for friends unbelievers rather than believers: Do ye wish to offer Allah an open proof against yourselves? (4:144)
In fact, anyone who does take a non-Muslim as a friend could be accused of being an unbeliever as well:
O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. He among you who taketh them for friends is (one) of them. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk. (5:51)
Note that Christians, according to the Quran, are included in the ranks of “unbelievers”:
They indeed have disbelieved who say: Lo! Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary (5:17)
Muhammad said that unbelievers have it out for Muslims. They may appear harmless or friendly, but, in reality, they harbor corruption and evil intentions:
O ye who believe! Take not into your intimacy those outside your ranks: They will not fail to corrupt you. They only desire your ruin: Rank hatred has already appeared from their mouths: What their hearts conceal is far worse (3:118)
For the Unbelievers are unto you open enemies (4:101)
As for them, they are but plotting a scheme (86:15)
Those outside of Islam are really helpers of evil against Allah:
The Misbeliever is a helper (of Evil), against his own Lord! (25:55)
The Quran says that “hostility and hate” will exist between Muslims and infidels “for ever” until the latter “believe in Allah alone.” (60:4)
Instead of befriending non-Muslims, the Quran encourages hostility. Muslims are ordered to fight unbelievers:
O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty.(9:123)
The Quran tells Muslims that they will spend eternity laughing at unbelievers (83:34) and mocking their suffering as they are tortured in Hell:
And the dwellers of the garden will call out to the inmates of the fire: Surely we have found what our Lord promised us to be true; have you too found what your Lord promised to be true? They will say: Yes. Then a crier will cry out among them that the curse of Allah is on the unjust. (7:44) – Muhammad got an early start on this by personally mocking his dead enemies following the Battle of Badr (Ibn Ishaq 454)
One does not befriend those over whose suffering they will later rejoice, nor does it make any sense that Muslims would befriend those whom the Quran labels “enemies of Allah” by virtue of their unbelief.
NOW that that is settled, our western fight must be viewed as one to eliminate Shariah law, the poisonous root of all the carnage. Its mandates. So it is certainly not a shock that ISIS/ISIL, Boko Haram (or whatever hydra thereof) mandates the purging of Christians, Jews and all apostates. It is evidenced within:
Think of it this way: what will it take to get American (western) leaders, even counter-terrorism experts, to finally scream the truth? Realistically, likely a mega terror attack, one which will be impossible to pretend that what is isn’t. That’s the truth.
Islamist insurgents have issued an ultimatum to northern Iraq’s dwindling Christian population to either convert to Islam, pay a religious levy or face death, according to a statement distributed in the militant-controlled city of Mosul.
The statement issued by the Islamic State, the al Qaeda offshoot which led last month’s lightning assault to capture swathes of north Iraq, and seen by Reuters, said the ruling would come into effect on Saturday.
It said Christians who wanted to remain in the “caliphate” that the Islamic State declared this month in parts of Iraq and Syria must agree to abide by terms of a “dhimma” contract – a historic practice under which non-Muslims were protected in Muslim lands in return for a special levy known as “jizya”.
“We offer them three choices: Islam; the dhimma contract – involving payment of jizya; if they refuse this they will have nothing but the sword,” the announcement said.
A resident of Mosul said the statement, issued in the name of the Islamic State in Iraq’s northern province of Nineveh, had been distributed on Thursday and read out in mosques.
It said Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, which the group has now named Caliph Ibrahim, had set a Saturday deadline for Christians who did not want to stay and live under those terms to “leave the borders of the Islamic Caliphate”.
“After this date, there is nothing between us and them but the sword,” it said.
The Nineveh decree echoes one that the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, the former name for the Islamic State, issued in the Syrian city of Raqqa in February, demanding that Christians pay the jizya levy in gold and curb displays of their faith in return for protection.
The concept of dhimma, governing non-Muslims living under Islamic rule, dates back to the early Islamic era in the seventh century, but was largely abolished during the Ottoman reforms of the mid-19th century.
Mosul, once home to diverse faiths, had a Christian population of around 100,000 a decade ago, but waves of attacks on Christians since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion to topple Saddam Hussein have seen those numbers collapse.
The resident of Mosul who saw the Islamic State announcement estimated the city’s Christian population before last month’s militant takeover at around 5,000. The vast bulk of those have since fled, leaving perhaps only 200 in the city, he said.
HAVING fielded several working trips to the Gaza border and elsewhere, there is nothing more poignant to show ones valued American contacts (in effect, returning some favors) than the “rocket/missile collections”, some of which are on public display in the border town of S’derot. “Art projects”, if you will. In addition, though the remainder of the countless projectiles are under lock and key, whether or not they are accessible just depends on who is asking.
BE that as it may, in tandem, another focal point are the ubiquitous, make-shift bomb shelters. They are everywhere. Beyond belief. It is as if this town, and some other border-line communities, is living in a constant war zone! Indeed, they are.
Sderot is located less than a mile from Gaza (the closest point is 840 m).[2]Rocket attacks on the city have killed 13 Israelis, wounded dozens, caused millions of dollars in damage and profoundly disrupted daily life.[3] Studies have found that air raid sirens and explosions have caused severe psychological trauma in some residents.[4] From mid-June 2007 to mid-February 2008, 771 rockets and 857 mortar bombs were fired at Sderot and the western Negev, an average of three or four each a day.[5] Popular for having numerous Bomb shelters some of which are built in the form of Children’s Play areas in school play grounds, Sderot is infamously referred to as The “Bomb Shelter Capital of the World.”
MIND you, the above missile stats are from 2007-2008 and they are child’s play compared to the hundreds fired now on a daily basis!
SO, instead of living normal lives as kiddies, Israel’s southern children even have playground equipment outfitted as bomb shelters! Now, you tell this blogger: what kind of leadership would allow over a million of its citizens to be rocketed for well over 13 ! years, yet do nothing to stop a genocidal foe, other than rapping them on the knuckles for limited defensive actions in 2008 and 2012, incursions which did not even stem from the rocket fire but other political calculations. More to the point, cease-fire became the “norm” for Israel’s political echelon, instead of actually ceasing the fire once and for all. What’s going on?
“It is time to seriously consider cutting off their power for one day for each rocket attack; I think it would be more effective,” he said.
Similar comments were made earlier this week by Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon, who called for Israel to stop the ongoing humanitarian aid to Gaza in the wake of hundreds of rockets being fired on Israeli citizens over the past week.
“We have to stop the entry of fuel and electricity to Gaza immediately,” Danon stated. “You cannot fight Hamas on the one hand and provide electricity and fuel to transport the missiles fired at us on the other.”
Israel also provides 100 megawatts of electricity to Gaza on a regular basis, including additional aid that was supplied during Hamas’s energy crisis with Egypt earlier this year.
Much of that electricity is purchased for Gaza by the Palestinian Authority (PA), which owes Israel 1.4 billion shekels (nearly half a billion dollars) for unpaidelectric bills.
Several months ago, the director of the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) called on the Israeli government to cut off the supply to the PA so long as it does not pay its debt.
TO wit, while it may appear indelicate (to some) to reveal this and that dirty laundry while Israel is at war, the fact of the matter is that this American-Israeli’s entire family is also in Hamas’s cross hairs, therefore, sweeping it under the rug is not an option. Unseemly.
MOST egregious is the national secret which is rarely spoken about, at least in public: yes, the leadership knew about the tunnels for years, in fact, they supplied the actual fuel, as stated above. Wrap your brains around this…Alas, the question becomes: why are the leaders, all of a sudden, after many years of terror onslaught on their southern citizens, charging into Gaza, but this time full speed ahead?
THE ugly truth is that Israel’s political leadership, its chattering classes and its civil society elitists truly believe there are two Israel’s. On the one hand, they enjoy leftist-style, hedonistic playgrounds and a lifestyle which rivals that of many western capitals world over. On the other, the above poohbahs, for the most part, revile the “settlers”, those whose only “crime” is their attempt to reclaim the land of Zion, not only for themselves, but even for the leftists! Into the mix, one finds the lower socioeconomic areas, especially those straddling the southern border. Hmm…the “poorer” relations. The embarrassing ones.
The IDF’s Shejaiya operation in the Gaza Strip continues apace, carried forward by five task forces now heading for the center of Gaza City amid casualties on both sides. Sunday, July 20, Israel’s crack Golani Brigades lost 18 fighters, without slowing down, compared with 170 Palestinian fatalities.
DEBKAfile’s military sources report that each task force, the size of half a division, is an integrated amalgam of air, armored, artillery and engineering forces, capable of operating almost autonomously in field combat. The buildup of the last 24 hours has expanded Israel’s fighting strength in the Gaza Strip to a total of 75,000 men, the largest ever fielded in this territory. Because of its scale, Israeli leaders are referring to Defensive Edge as a war rather than an operation.
The battle for Shejaiya waged Sunday burst into public prominence because of the heavy losses suffered by the Golani Brigades, but it is not the largest engagement underway at present. The other ongoing IDF battles, their progress, the units involved and their locations, are kept secret. We can only point to their general locations as being around Beit Hanoun in the north; Zeitun, south of Gaza City and the Shati refugee camp to the north.
More arenas are scheduled to be added to the list of battle zones Monday.
Rather than causing despondency, the high IDF casualty toll Sunday – the highest in a single engagement since the 2006 Lebanon War – has invigorated the fighting forces in the field, making them more determined than ever to get the better of Hamas with all possible speed.
Whereas their orders on Sunday were to advance warily and slowly, meanwhile testing the strength of Hamas resistance and observing their tactics, the tempo went into high gear at dawn Monday, when the troops were told to speed their advance from the outer fringes of Gaza City into its center.
Their performance in Shejaiya and other engagements Sunday deeply impressed Israel’s war leaders and made them confident enough to step up the rate of advance.
This upbeat mood was evident in the comments made Sunday night by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon and, from the field, by Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz. While condoling deeply with the bereaved families of the 18 soldiers who died in combat, they were full of praise for the troops’ performance “in defense of our home” which outdid all expectations.
The following decisions were reached in consequence:
1. Gen. Gantz would stay in the field and lead the forces from there, rather than from staff headquarters in Tel Aviv.
2. The prime minister and defense minister would manage the war, without constant recourse to security cabinet sessions to obtain its approval of every stage of the plan of operation, the final goal of which DEBKAfile has learned, is Israel’s military takeover of the Gaza Strip.
3. As the military operation unfolded, the three war leaders were convinced more than ever that demolishing Hamas’ terror tunnel complex was not optional, any more than wiping out the rocket menace hanging latterly over five million Israelis and, for nearly a decade over the million people living directly in the shadow of the Gaza border. Publicity guidelines were to be built around this conclusion.
International statesmen are flitting busily around regional capitals, including Jerusalem, in search of an opening to broker a ceasefire in Gaza hostilities. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has been holding meetings and US Secretary John Kerry will try and reach the Middle East in the coming days, according to a White House directive – unless he again cancels at the last minute.
According to DEBKAfile’s sources, the requisite political and military conditions for a ceasefire are not yet in place because of a number of circumstances, not least of which is Hamas’ refusal to contemplate a halt.
Israel, for its part, is fighting for the first time in its history with solid Arab backing from the Egyptian-Saudi-United Arab Emirates bloc. So determined are its members to obliterate the Muslim Brotherhood that they have virtually blacklisted Qatar for supporting the Brothers and for patronizing the Palestinian Hamas, regarded as the MB’s paramilitary arm.
This rift has put a spoke in the diplomatic effort to set in motion effective mediation for a Gaza ceasefire predicated on co-opting Qatar.
A bid to make Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas the bridge between the Egyptian-Saudi-UAE grouping and Qatar has likewise foundered. And there isn’t much Secretary Kerry can do if and when he comes over to try his hand.
US President Barack Obama’s suggestion, when he called Netanyahu Sunday, to build a new Gaza ceasefire around the 2012 formula concocted by the US, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey – and accepted by Israel and Hamas – for ending Operation Pillar of Defense, shows him to be cut off from the fundamentally altered diplomatic and military realities of the current Gaza conflict.
He declines to recognize the emergence of a powerful new Arab bloc. It will be necessary to twist the arms of each of its members, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and UAE, to gain their consent for a bid to cut the Israeli offensive short to rescue Hamas from defeat. And even then, they will stall.
And although anti-Israel demonstrations are being staged in some parts of the world, the most violent in Paris, hardly any world governments have openly condemned the Israeli operation – as yet.
BUT that was then and this is now. Significantly, the blow back from the “disengagement” from Gaza, its knock-on effects, and the subsequent expulsion and destruction of thriving Jewish communities in Gush Katif – the bulwark against Hamastan – has now affected life, as they know it, in Tel Aviv and its surrounding communities. And, that is intolerable for Israel’s political echelon. Hence, the calls to re-conquer the strip, something which this blogger happens to agree with, but for all the right reasons.
INDEED, as is said, finally smelling the coffee…but for all the wrong/left reasons.
YET, first and foremost, Gaza must be totally cleared – razed, if necessary – and years of political neglect will cost many IDF lives. But when the smoke finally clears, it will be due time to start uncompromising hearings, somewhat akin to the Winograd Commission but on steroids.
WATCHING…waiting…the leadership must be held to account…its feet to the fire….
Shingieti (L) with Feisal Abdul Rauf (R) at CFR event in 2013. Two Brotherhood Mafia aligned terrorists mug for the camera, smug in the fact that they have many Congressional reps (White House too) in their blood-soaked pockets.
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.
However, it’s an order of greater magnitude when the Chairman of the House Intelligence committee is cozy, currying favor, with the likes of those who “hob nob” with Islamists, Muslim-American (non-American too) leaders covering for Benghazigate terrorists. Can you imagine such Congressional conflict of interest, perhaps leading to treason? Indeed. Islamic foxes deep inside the hen house. Burrowed.
Committee Spotlight
Now that we have these dangerous tidbits settled, let us look back in time, perhaps to the last Repub convention and see what shakes out:
And if anyone believes that Brotherhood infiltrators are not pulling Congress’s investigative strings behind the scenes, well, they know little about their infiltration and penetration. So much so that it is impossible not to trip over them within every branch of influence on Capitol Hill, nor to miss them fart. No one should think said remark is made to be flippant or crass. Not at all. But it is meant to drive home how impossible it is to gain any measure of justice (from whichever side of the aisle), particularly for those who died due to their machinations in Benghazi and related Obama Inc. wildfires.
Extrapolating further, considering the symbiotic relationship between two of the dinner’s co-terror stars, Al-Shingieti and Feisal Abdul Rauf, what other road maps, prerequisites, do Washington’s poohbahs seek in order to bow out when invited to fete terrorists? Again, asked and answered.
If you think the above is being too harsh, just see for yourselves who “merits” kudos and thumbs up from deep within the bowels of Washington, a Capitol which is so far off its axis, let’s just say that it is way past off the cliff.
The question becomes: what the hell is going on in Washington, both with Demsters and their joined at the hip Repub aka RINO counterparts? Even though hearings are taking place and juicy tidbits are seeping through, little positive, at least for patriots, will likely result. Here’s why….
Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI), the soon-to-be talk radio Congressman is putting another highly disturbing notch in his belt. He is scheduled to be the keynote speaker at an event that will have Ground Zero mosque imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and his wife Daisy Khan as guests of honor.
When viewed in conjunction with all the suspect things Rogers has done relative to the Benghazi investigation (and his defense of Huma Abedin as an ‘American patriot’) – which Shoebat.com has chronicled – this is perhaps one of his more shameful.
But this is not the most troubling news. The host of the event which House Intelligence Committee chairman will be delivering the keynote speech is the Vice President of a Muslim Organization that is once held senior positions with a government is identified as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. At the time, Osama bin Laden lived in that country, where he was seeking safe harbor. The leader of that country is still in power and is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity.
While ICRD’s connections to Muslim Brotherhood front groups in the U.S. – laid out in a letter to Rogers – is itself disturbing, the connections of the organization’s Vice President to a State Sponsor of Terrorism should be greater cause for alarm, not just concern.
The ICRD website lists Abubaker Y. Ahmed Al-Shingieti as its Vice President for Preventive Engagement.Shoebat.com has written extensively about al-Shingieti [here and here].
In additioin to al-Shingieti’s role with Muslim Brotherhood front, the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT), he also has a history that includes time as an extremely prominent figure with the government of Sudan at a time when Osama bin Laden was hiding there. Shockingly, his bio on the ICRD website doesn’t hide it, though few people might recognize the significance:
As Shoebat.com has reported on extensively, the older brother of the President of the United States – Malik Obama – works as an Executive Secretary for the Islamic Da’wa Organization (IDO) under Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir, a figure wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity. Sudan remains listed by the U.S. State Department as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. It was originally designated as such in 1993, when al-Shingieti was a top propagandist for al-Bashir.
Al-Shingieti and Rauf are also familiar with one another:
Perhaps not so coincidentally, the Obama administration wants to have Sudan removed from the list, as revealed by Shoebat.com.
As for Rogers, a former FBI Special Agent, he must know the background of this organization. In fact, as was reported to Shoebat.com by a confidential source earlier this year, Rogers also knows about Malik’s ties to the government of Sudan and was looking into the case during his trip to Egypt.
On a 2008 page from its website, ICRD lists quotes from prominent figures who’ve issued praise for the group, to include McFarlane who is scheduled to join Rogers at the ICRD dinner. Another quote, attributed to a former U.S. Senator is eerily significant in light of al-Shingieti’s ties to al-Bashir:
“In Kashmir, none of the ‘old hands’ would have imagined that you could have achieved the measure of reconciliation you have already established.” – Robert McFarlane, former U.S. National Security Advisor
“I appreciate the Center’s work to resolve one of Sudan’s most difficult issues.” – Senator John Danforth, U.S. Ambassador to U.N. at the time.
“The International Center for Religion and Diplomacy is doing important and worthwhile work.” –Colin Powell, U.S. Secretary of State
“The work which ICRD has accomplished has been the product of great patience and perseverance.” – Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, Archbishop of Washington
The behavior of Rogers as Intelligence Committee chairman relative to the Benghazi investigation has been incredibly suspect. This latest development should raise serious eyebrows.
But even if one prefers to believe in the tooth fairy and not ascribe any ill intent towards Rogers, isn’t it a dereliction of duty when a House Intelligence Committee chairman attends, let alone keynotes, a mobbed up Muslim Brotherhoodevent? After all, what passes for anti-American on Capitol Hill? Anything?
Ditto for Robert McFarlane, former U.S. National Security Adviser, as well as too many others to enumerate!
A plethora of obvious layers jump to the fore, re the Anti-American-in-Chief’s seemingly bizarre non-reaction to the shoot down of MH 17. Yes, it would take all day to delineate them and other duties await. However, this is so intrinsic that a synopsis is a must. Thus, the core issue becomes: how does one start to explain what is “normal” for Barack HUSSEIN Obama – who by most standards exhibits wholly irrational behavior – in juxtaposition to acceptable human responses? Therein lies the crux.
Narcissistic personality disorder, also known as NPD, is a personality disorder in which the individual has a distorted self image, unstable and intense emotions, is overly preoccupied with vanity, prestige, power and personal adequacy, lacks empathy, and has an exaggerated sense of superiority. NPD is closely associated with egocentrism – a personality characteristic in which people see themselves and their interests and opinions as the only ones that really matter.
People with narcissistic personality disorder are not interested in the feelings of others – they lack empathy; they are unable to feel or appreciate feelings which are not their own…..
THIS fatal personality disorder lies atop his visceral hatred for America. Explosive. It is this particular clinical pathology which obviates any normal response, one which even smacks of appropriate. His outright rage against America becomes a combustible mix, when coupled with full blown narcissism. It is always at the ready, even if he seems strangely aloof. Oh dear.
NOW, this American-Israeli does not pretend to be an expert in psychological matters, but leaves said expertise to others who understand what’s what. Basically, while others rely on this blogger’s expertise re the Muslim Brotherhood, you gotta know when to accept the analysis of those at the top of their respective fields.
In this regard, cogitate over the above, as you read the following, from a most reputable, highly successful criminal profiler.’OBAMA’S ‘CONFESSION’ UNCOVERED BY FORENSIC PROFILER”I am not a dictator. I’m the president’
YET, even so, to truly grasp what is what, one must also compare and contrast his actual behavior when radical, racial, otherwise divisive matters are in play; those which are inherently anti-American.
IN this respect, a backgrounder to his alliances is completely germane. As such, let’s segue over to his Islamist/Wahabbi roots and then onto his communist/Hawaiian ones. A lethal combo.
ATOP said dangers, when the non-responsive POTUS became completely outraged – simply because a fellow Black was questioned in a local police matter – opining, “the police acted stupidly”, how relevant was this? Very. Folks, do recall his press conferences ! when Prof Gates was questioned by the police.Moreover, the inquiries become: is it within any POTUS’s job description to interfere in local police matters, even if involving a friend? if not, what was Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s intent? and, was his aggressive response normal, under any circumstances? You decide.
SO in light of the above disinfectant, along comes what may appear, at first blush, bizarre, but is demonstrably on target, in relation to the Anti-American-in-Chief.
… “One of Obama’s talking points in the 2012 campaign included a boast that he had “ended” the war in Iraq by bringing home every U.S. soldier that had been left to ensure the relative quiet and stability after the successful Petraeus surge. In the world of Obama, a war can be declared ended because he said so, given that no Americans were any longer directly involved. (Remind the ghosts of the recently beheaded in now al Qaeda-held Mosul that the war ended there in 2011.)
“Iraq is in flames, as is “lead from behind” Libya, as is “red line” Syria, and as are those places where an al Qaeda “on the run” has migrated. Had Obama been commander in chief in 1940, he would have assured us that the wars in Czechoslovakia, Poland, and France were “over” — as they were in a sense for those who lost them, but as they were not for those next in line.” http://pjmedia.com/victordavishanson/war-was-interested-in-obama/?singlepage=true
Our Callow Commander-in-Chief; “Why is insouciance Obama’s first response to international crises?” “It is at times like these, when he is pushed kicking and screaming into the crucible, that Obama’s callowness shows. For his supporters, that jejune, jocular air has been a plus for almost six years. For the rest of us, it has served as a liability and an irritation. Yesterday, it became a wholesale embarrassment.”
…Instead, the president spent a grand total of 38 seconds on the downing of the plane, describing what he knew to have been an atrocity as a “tragedy” that “might” have happened, and then going back to slamming Republicans for refusing to agree with him on infrastructure spending, to joking with his adoring fans, and to suggesting that America needed to stop indulging in what the more traditional among us like to refer to as “politics.” It would, as David Freddoso observed, have been as if George W. Bush had continued to read “Why Daddy Is a Republican” after he had learned of the attacks on the Twin Towers.”
… “For the next two years, this is to be our fate. Indifference, drift, diversion, and fatigue. Hello Cleveland! Hello Brooklyn! Goodbye, yellow brick road.”
“Some of the reaction to the president’s bizarre remarks came from reporters on the scene:”
Traveling in Denver, this reporter heard gasps from guests watching a hotel lobby television as Obama spoke.
One remarked: ‘A tragedy is when you lose control and fly into a mountainside. This is mass-murder. What a disappointment.’
‘His distance from reality is just bizarre,’ said another.
Daniel Hannan, the British member of Europe’s parliament who has rankled liberals in a series of American speaking tours, tweeted his own disgust.
‘Listening to Obama’s statement [on] the airline tragedy, my mind went back to Reagan 31 years ago,’ he wrote.
‘How America’s leaders have shrunk.’
Obama finished his speech by saying ‘Let’s build some bridges. Let’s build some roads. God bless America.’
Matt Viser, a Boston Globe reporter on the scene, tweeted a devastating reaction.
‘Obama, in sum: A plane crashed. It may be tragic. We’re trying to see if US citizens were on board. Hey, great to be in Delaware!’ he wrote.
The president’s next stop after Wilmington was New York City, where he headlines a Democratic Party fundraiser Thursday evening. Tickets for the cozy event go for as much as $32,400…
… “The White House will attribute excessive caution to the president’s shocking remarks. But reporters were getting background from administration officials that the plane was shot down with a missile for several hours prior to the president’s remarks. And, of course, the fact that he then went merrily on his way to a fundraiser while what amounts to an act of war was committed against US citizens is just one more indication how out of touch this president is.” …
AS noted, this site claims zero expertise in the psychiatric/psychological arena. Nevertheless, countless markers have been placed at this site, taking the readers from there to here. In essence, those who are duly up to speed surely weren’t shocked, shocked by The One’s seemingly bizarre non-engagement re the shoot down, nor of other major arenas of American import.
BESIDES, if the total smashing of America’s bordersis off the Radical-in-Chief’s radar (and a key component of his transformation strategy), in tandem with disease ridden dangers, surely little will engage him. On the other hand, issues that can be used for divisive ends are completely in his sights.
AS is said, ignorance is bliss, or so it would seem. But a distinction must be made between the willfully blind and the truly ignorant. The latter is easier to convince and educate but the former is a harder nut to crack. This is especially the case when dealing with Islamic inspired terror via Shariah law, or anything which rocks ones ideological sensibilities.
BE that as it may, despite the Johnny-come-lately’s, some truths are irrefutable, regardless of their uncomfortable nature. Deal with it. Incontrovertibly, Shariah law is deadly and its blow back on the west will rip western civilization from its roots. Yes, this IS a clash of civilizations. Impossible to negate.
BEFORE anything else, it is imperative to internalize the Islamic dictates of taqiyya and kitman. In effect, a “holy” warrior (male or female) is commanded to deceive their Shariah mandated enemies, even to the point of adopting their ways and mores. How so?
WELL, many Islamic adherents, when coming to the west, go wild, but not in the way most believe. Agreed, non-religious Muslims, apostates, surely derive pleasure from western freedoms, like many others. However, there are many more who infiltrate and ingratiate themselves, through “passing” as western-like, only to pounce when the time is efficacious. This is also a manifestation of stealth jihad, a “kissing cousin” of taqiyya and kitman. Know thy Islamic enemy as well as they know you! Indeed, it is a life and death struggle. Islamists (and their helpmates) count on the open-mindedness of westerners, basic ignorance, and, most especially, PC infused guilt-ridden attitudes towards perpetually aggrieved Muslims. Other perceived “victim” groups too.
BUT since time is of the essence, we are sorely in need of further education. Brass tacks. So there is no better place to start than with the female persuasion. Why? Males are generally seen as jihadis on the front lines, giving the women short shrift. Not so fast.
WITHOUT a doubt, Islamic hotties are harder to pin down, and this goes for those who are publicly known, as well as those who slide under the western radar. Let’s start with a well know Islamic diva, as exhibit number one.
Exhibit Number One:
ENTER, Huma Abedin. Who hasn’t already read all the drivel, the smokescreens, about Huma Abedin?Yes, the inseparable aide of Hill. More than meets the eye. In a nutshell, she is the most dangerous Muslim Sisterhood operative in the west. Undoubtedly. Her footprints lead straight back to Benghazigate and so much more!
Exhibit Number Two:
NOW, onto the hidden jihadis and some of them are smokin’ hot. If your heart can stand it, take a peek at their latest weapons. Male readers, pay attention, don’t get distracted.
The cash was discovered “further hidden inside her body.”
As reported by The Rakyat Post (of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) on July 9, 2014, and by bothThe Arab Times (Kuwait edition) and The Evening Standard (of London, United Kingdom) on July 8, 2014, a British university student is facing charges of funding terrorist activities after being busted with a small fortune found stashed away in her knickers. Yet Nawal Msaad at least gives the outward appearance more of a high fashion model than that of an Islamist money mule.
The comely 27-year-old London Metropolitan University student was taken into custody at London’s Heathrow Airport earlier this year after €20,000 (£15,800/$27,273) was discovered by police. The tightly rolled wad of cash was initially wrapped in cellophane, then hid into a condom. Reportedly, other than the cellophane and prophylactic treatment, the 38 €500 notes, four €200 and the remaining two €100 euros were “further hidden inside her body.”
With the official title of The Central Criminal Court of England and Wales, Msaad appeared before England’s famed Old Bailey courtroom where prosecutors claimed Msaad is a “trusted courier” for her friend and co-defendant Amal El-Wahabi, also 27-years-old. Prosecutor Mark Dennis QC told the court that Msaad was attempting to board a flight to Istanbul, Turkey where she was to hand the cash off to El-Wahabi’s husband, Aine Davis, 30, which was alleged to fund the Syrian “jihadist cause.” Originally from the former-British colony of Gambia, Davis converted to Islam seven years ago and subsequently has taken the Muslim name of “Hamza.”
Already dubbed a “Jihottie” on various social media outlets, undoubtedly because of her striking good looks, it’s also being reported that Msaad’s legal problems stem from her inability to stop talking. While processing through one of Heathrow’s many security/customs checkpoints, the London born and bred accused terrorist enabler volunteered the information to police that she had 20,000 euros “around me” ostensibly to purchase gold for her mum.
It was then that the law enforcement officials took Msaad into a private room where she handed off to officers the banknotes that exited her body but remained in her underwear. Both Msaad and El-Wahabi have entered a plea of not guilty on all charges. The trial continues.
Exhibit Number Three:
INTO this deadly mix, one finds another frightening Shariah law underpinned fatwa – “jihad by sex”!Sick, twisted Islamic bastards. Their basis:Shariah law!
It is vital to our national security that more Americans, specifically our counter-terrorism (CT) analysts begin to study Shariah law. A ‘Pure Muslim’ as labeled by Islamic scholars is one who adheres to Shariah law with his actions and mind. The more Shariah compliant a Muslim is, the more likely:
They are Islamic terrorists AND/OR;
They support Islamic terrorists AND/OR;
They are getting closer to becoming a ‘Pure Muslim’ AND/OR;
They are more likely to prepare for future terrorist attacks.
I will begin putting out educational information about Shariah law in future columns that will help one understand the Islamic mind.
Muslims are taught from an early age to be different/opposite from their enemies that Christians and Jews.
During the last few days most Americans, media, and counter-terrorism experts have been ridiculing the leader of ISIS/ISIL (Baghdadi) for wearing an expensive watch, when luxury goods are often prohibited in Islam. Ridiculing the expensive watch worn by an Islamic terrorist is a sure sign the person ridiculing does not understand Shariah law.
The watch on Baghdadi’s hand is an important aspect of understanding him and his followers. Instead of making jokes about his expensive watch, people should recognize that it is an honor for a Mujahadeen (Jihad Fighter) to wear the booty of their captors or the people they recently killed. It is unlikely Baghdadi bought this watch and as ISIS grows you (if you review closely) will begin to notice more and more of the regular Jihad fighters to begin wearing expensive watches and rings.
Another important aspect of Baghdadi’s watch is that he is wearing it on his right hand and the watch is silver. Shariah law prohibits gold for men and it demands a Muslim to do the opposite of the Jews and Christians. Most Jews and Christians wear a watch or ring on their left hand, therefore Muslims should wear on their right hand.
Look at the Osama bin Laden picture (left) and note the silver ring on his finger. It is worn on the right hand and the ring is silver per Shariah law.
An important matter counter-terrorist experts and U.S. law enforcement counter-terrorism specialists failed to notice was the beard changes during the months and years with Osama. One month it may be gray and soon after he has died his beard with a solid black henna.
News media and CT experts used to ridicule Bin Laden for looking silly because of the dark black beard (pictured right) he sometimes wore. Most CT experts do not know that the only time a Muslim can dye his beard black is when there is an upcoming Jihad fight, or that it is used by Islamic leaders to give a signal to their supporters that it is time to strike. This is all within Shariah.
There are times when a Muslim is allowed to not follow Shariah law. For instance Muslims will sometimes copy the Jews and Christians when they are deceiving their enemies. For example, Nihad Awad of CAIR National would tell his executives and staff to fit in with Westerners so they will look at them as ‘moderate’ Muslims.
It is imperative Americans study Shariah law on their own so they can begin to observe the Muslim people who are ‘Pure Muslim’. It does not mean that every compliant Muslim is a terrorist, but it is 100% guaranteed a Muslim who is 100% compliant with Shariah law is a supporter of Shariah and not the U.S. Constitution.
EVEN intelligent high schoolers (and, they don’t even have to place in the top 5-10% of their classes) intuit that something is acutely amiss world over. On the one hand, their (western) leaders babble ad infinitum – not unlike idiot savants – aboutIslam being a “religion of peace”, all the while they witness (via the internet, social media and non-intimidated global sources) untold numbers of butchery in the name of Allah, Islam’s supreme “guide”. Credo quia absurdum!
SO if Islam is not at war with America – the west – then how come jihadists scream Allahu Akbar after every kill?Similarly, why are their scholars quoting countless Koranic passages, to back up Islam’s war against western infidels? Why aren’t western leaders listening to what Islamists are actually shouting from the rooftops, being that they plan to take over America and the entire west?
And, even though some readers may be less than concerned about Jewish and Israeli interests, it can’t be stressed enough that Jews are simply one of their targets; a stepping stone to the Muslim Brotherhood’s ultimate obsession. Their anticipated conquest. Hands down, the biggest catch of all, is America.
Straddling the precipice…for once they are done slaughtering all their rival Muslims – be they “moderates” or what not – they are coming for Israel and America.
This came out in the context of the current conflict between Israel and Hamas, with some Muslims asking the newly formed “caliphate” when it would launch a jihad on the Jewish state.
The Islamic State’s response? “Allah in the noble Koran does not command us to fight Israel or the Jews until we fight the apostates and hypocrites.”
