BEFORE we head into the raging wildfires engulfing the Mid East, parts of Africa, Europe, and with America in the cross hairs – as we connect the dots, placing the onus squarely at the proper doors – we must honestly recognize, assess, when one’s avowed enemies are “successful”.

IN fact, as one who has been surrounded by VERY high achievers – both personally and professionally – for years, well, the signs are easy peasy.

NOW, this does not mean that a major part of Islamic jihad’s triumph isn’t due to the leader of the (heretofore) free world (purposefully) throwing the game, so to speak. In other words, sports bookies know all about the value of “fixes”, while hapless gambling junkies can’t figure out why the most powerful player they just bet on flubbed everything in sight. Hmm….a sucker is born every minute.

REGARDLESS, Islam’s soldiers for Allah possess certain characteristics, those which give them a decided edge. It goes without saying, adherents who (literally) bow to a political and religious cult-like dogma, one which demands the slaughter of those who refuse to submit; who view no difference between the present, and that which happened centuries ago; who understand the Achilles heel of the enemy to boot, rest assured, they are the ones in the driver’s seat. Don’t forget this.

SO, as we gingerly step into the Mid East’s cauldron of hell fire, one main fact is front and center: the upending of Libya catapulted ISIS’s strength – they hung in the background for about a decade – and Barack HUSSEIN Obama backed them via his “rebels”. This is a fact.

LEST there be any misunderstandings, if not for the consequences generated from Benghazigate, Sunni Brotherhood jihadists – of which ISIS are part and parcel of, on whose behalf Barack HUSSEIN Obama ordered the largest weapons-running operation in Mid East history – would not be knocking on America’s door, nor Israel’s. Others as well. Nevertheless, as an American-Israeli, both nations are my top priorities. Hands down.

AND on the domestic front, even as the west finds itself in an unmitigated nightmare, this hasn’t stopped the Islamist-in-Chief from boosting Muslim immigration into U.S. borders at an unprecedented level – in less than 3 years – whether legal or illegal. What does that signal to you re his intent?

IN this regard, ISIS goes from strength to strength – as assorted jihadi players pledge their allegiance to the Islamic State Caliphate – making a mockery of the so-called display of western “unity” in Paris, with many of the leaders still behaving like pissants, terrified to even name the enemy: ISLAM !!

High Taliban officers in Pakistan and Afghanistan made a vow of allegiance Sunday, Jan. 12 to the Islamic State’s leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi – initiating concord among key groups of the Islamist terror movement in defiance of the values that brought millions out in a mammoth rally of Western unity against terror that day.

The Taliban cemented this unity pact by demonstratively beheading a Pakistani soldier they held prisoner.

This gesture came in rapid sequence after Amedy Coulibaly, the terrorist who on Jan. 9, broke into a kosher supermarket in Paris and murdered four Jews, avowed his adherence to ISIS. 

Abu Bakr’s group this month therefore branched out from its Syrian-Iraqi “caliphate” not only into Europe but also into South Asia and across the Middle East.

In the week that Islamist terrorists carried out bloody atrocities in Paris, his jihad of terror was on the offensive and making strategic gains elsewhere:

1. The Islamic State was directly challenging the United States in new arenas – Europe, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

2.  Monday, Jan 5, ISIS sent a force to cross into northern Saudi Arabia from Iraq. Three Saudi border guards including Gen. Odah al-Balawi, commander of the regional guard unit, were killed in the clash which took place in the Suwayf region of the Arar district.
DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources draw two disturbing conclusions from these bloody incidents:

Like the Paris attack, which saw Frenchmen attacking Frenchmen, the operation against the oil kingdom was carried out by Saudi nationals who had rallied to the Islamic State’s flag.

Abu Bakr has therefore captured an additional foothold in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula.

Secondly, as was also evident in Paris, ISIS, i.e. Al Qaeda in Iraq and the Levant, and AQAP, i.e. Al Qaeda in the Arabia Peninsula, are operating in harness. This was also evident from the claim by the Kouachi brothers who attacked Charlie Hebdo that they acted in the name of AQAP, in contrast to their associate, Coulibaly.

This cross-alliance, now joined by Taliban, represents an ominous escalation and expansion of the global jihad terror movement and the threat it poses to the United States, the West as a whole, the rest of the Middle East and Israel.

3. Abu Bakr al Baghdad, by his multi-branched terror spectaculars, has managed to seize the primacy of world Al Qaeda, pushing its formal leader Ayman al Zuwahri to the sidelines.

INDEED, the Dissembler-in-Chief would rather spit nails than to state the truth, as to why Paris – the west – is burning, instead, veering into the “Islamophobia” bugaboo as the culprit! 

PARADOXICALLY, rather than to allow the west’s leaders to steer the Islamic narrative – even though Islamists are permitted, mandated, to lie to advance Shariah law – the fact remains that Britain’s leading Islamist cut through the billowing smoke:

On the Ben Shapiro Show Thursday, Imam Anjem Choudary said the President Obama is “inventing” his own version of Islam to forward his foreign policy agenda and that the “radical” form Choudary espouses simply aligns with the principles of the Koran and Sharia Law.

Shapiro led into the segment by quoting from Choudary’s USA Today Jan. 8 opinion piece titled “People Know the Consequences,” which blamed the French government for allowing publications to “provoke Muslims” and argued that Muslims do not in fact believe in the freedom of expression:

Contrary to popular misconception, Islam does not mean peace but rather means submission to the commands of Allah alone. Therefore, Muslims do not believe in the concept of freedom of expression, as their speech and actions are determined by divine revelation and not based on people’s desires.

Shapiro then asked Choudary to discuss the Muslim view on the freedom of expression, specifically with regard to the Charlie Hebdo massacre. Choudary explained that Muslim scripture made clear that those who insult the Prophet, like journalists at Charlie Hebdo, must be punished: “Those who would insult the Prophet, kill them.” Sharia Law he said, clearly requires any who would insult those Muslims deem “prophets,” including Moses and Jesus, be tried in court and punished. This a system, he added, that Muslims are willing to “fight for and even die for.”

When Shapiro asked him if he believed that Western governments should ban the blasphemy of Mohammed, Choudary said he wanted Sharia Law in its entirety to be imposed on Western governments because it was a “better” system. However, if that were not possible, laws should be put in place against “provoking Muslims.” As he stressed in his article, Choudary said that killings like those Wednesday are “the consequence of insulting the Prophet.”

Pointing to the incompatibility of the Western and Sharia systems, Shapiro asked Choudary why the West should allow people like him to live in their boundaries. Choudary said he was born in England so he had the right to live there, and that “people always change” and “change is good,” so he believed that it was time for the West to change…..{blogger’s note: never mind that upend the existing national order, whether native born or not, is grounds for expulsion or jailing, whichever comes first}

ALAS, anyone who possesses a modicum of rational thinking and intellectual integrity doesn’t need to really ask: how in the hell did this geo-political nightmare happen, and in such a short time span, relatively speaking? The answers are clear, stark, and beyond ominous. 

NOW that we understand the facts at hand, specifically, that the Islamist-in-Chief’s allied foot soldiers have penetrated from inside and outside U.S. borders, it begins to explain why ISIS (and their allied jihadists…whatever banner they hail under) have become brazen enough to announce: they will go after military personnel and their families on U.S. soil! Does anyone believe that regular citizens aren’t in their cross hairs, if targeting Army officers etc. doesn’t even scare them or give them pause?

Hackers claiming to be with the Islamic State terror group infiltrated U.S. Central Command’s official Twitter account Monday.

“ISIS is already here, we are in your PCs, in each military base. With Allah’s permission we are in CENTCOM now,” said one tweet sent from @CENTCOM’s account.

AS always, certain lessons need refresher courses, even though already taught – back in Sept 2014 – via ISIS, Islam And Obama: Understanding The Threat To The Free World, A Special Report.

AND, for the historical record, many have questioned how a preponderance of highly intelligent Jews, in pre-Holocaust Europe, were unable to see the signs, the forest from the trees. In retrospective, a fair question and assessment.

ON the other hand, by the time they allowed themselves to recognize what’s what, tragically, the gates were already locked, America’s slammed shut too. Mind you, these law-abiding, deeply patriotic, contributing citizens (some of whom were from this investigative journalist’s close family tree) did not enjoy the “right to bear arms”. Not only that, they were paltry in numbers, compared to the rest of the population.

THUS, history will surely judge this generation, particularly Americans, for failing to wrest control from those who are taking the nation into the abyss. For if tens of millions of (armed) patriots can’t get the job done, what could anyone have expected six million unarmed Jews to do?? 

IN light of all the above, how pressing is it to surround the White House until the Betrayer-in-Chief is led away in handcuffs?
