December 2010

MSNBC’s Ed Schultz protects terror networks: "...Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress who was just elected co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, has been financially supported by members of the Muslim Brotherhood, who favor imposition of Islamic law on society.” See God's Peace in the midst of turmoil

The Islamic tsunami: "Is an Islamic tidal wave coming? 'There is a plan to take over Western civilization.' warns David Rubin [former mayor of the Israeli town of Shiloh]. ...the first wave of the tsunami is Islamic terrorism ... 'a strategy intended to intimidate people so they won't speak out when the second wave hits.'...The second and more threatening wave is the creeping takeover of Western political and social institutions, something Mr. Rubin calls the 'silent tsunami.'

     "The spearhead of this movement is 'collusion between Islamic ideologues and the far left to promote the idea of moral relativism,' he said, 'that all values and ideologies are equal.'... One dangerous manifestation of this viewpoint is the fashionable intellectual movement to infiltrate Shariah law interpretations into American jurisprudence." Background information:  The Nazi/Arab plots to exterminate Jews (and uncompromising Christians)  

Sabotaging the U.S. Military for “Peace”: “Being peaceful doesn’t mean obeying a violent government, they say. They are helping soldiers to desert, destroying computer systems, trashing recruiting offices, burning military equipment, and sabotaging defense contractors,' Hathaway says.... These are not spontaneous acts of dissidence but a coordinated effort that involves 'working underground in secret cells to undermine the U.S. military empire.'...Hathaway and his colleagues’ motivation comes from a belief that capitalism and especially the U.S. military are fundamentally evil." See Depravity

Assimilation Won't Stop Jihad: "Mohamed Osman Mohamud, the Muslim in Oregon who attempted to bomb Pioneer Courthouse Square at a point when 25,000 infidels had gathered there during a Christmas tree lighting ceremony....In the video, Mohamud says: 'You know what the whole West thing is? They want to insult our religion. They want to take our lands. They want to rape our women while we’re bowing down to them....”

    "Mohamud also shows his violent streak, saying of someone unknown: 'If I met him, I would get five, six Muslims, beat the (expletive) out of him.' Why? Because apparently this person insulted Muhammad....That’s something I have zero tolerance for.... It’s not freedom of speech.”
    "Who is putting these ideas into the heads of young Muslims? Where is this anti-West, genocidal ideology coming from?"

(New Testament) "And as it was in the days of Noah [unthinkable violence and evil], so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man." Luke 17:26

Frankenbombers are 'new kind of terrorism': "Jihadis bent on concocting a 'new kind of terrorism' are brainstorming how to surgically implant explosives....

     "'I am waiting for the interaction of the experienced brothers to connect the two sciences together and produce a new kind of terrorism, Allah willing,' [wrote a surgeon]. Stitching a bomb into the abdominal cavity made of plastic or liquid explosives...was judged the best method."

Why Sweden?  "Why did Islamic jihadist Taimour Abdulwahab Al-Abdaly, the suicide bomber who killed himself on a major street in Stockholm on Saturday, decide to target Sweden, of all places — one of the most benign multiculturalist welfare states on a continent full of them?... Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt said the bombing was a 'most worrying attempt at terrorist attack in crowded part of central Stockholm,' and noted that it 'failed — but could have been truly catastrophic.'....

       “In speaking about Vilks and Sweden’s alleged 'war on Islam,' Al-Abdaly was aligning himself with the efforts of the 57-government Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) to compel Western governments to outlaw 'incitement to religious hatred' – that is, any honest discussion of the ways in which Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and supremacism. That would render the West mute and hence defenseless in the face of the advancing jihad. This effort has already been a smashing success."

November 2010

China's New Drones Raise Eyebrows: "...experts were surprised to see more than 25 different Chinese models of the unmanned aircraft, known as UAVs, on display at this week's Zhuhai air show in this southern Chinese city....The apparent progress in UAVs is a stark sign of China's ambition to upgrade its massive military as its global political and economic clout grows."

Terrorists hiding in hijabs: "It's unclear why CAIR believes TSA frisking must be Shariah-compliant. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano refused to deny that such exemptions existed.... Exemptions for Muslim women wearing traditional garb may be the brainchild of Mohamed Elibiary, who recently was made a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council......Most alarmingly, Mr. Elibiary is an admirer of the work of Sayyid Qutb, the intellectual and spiritual godfather of modern jihadism....No one who has read Qutb's work can mistake it for anything but an all-out assault on the American way of life and a call for a global Islamic takeover."

Gunshots! Jihadis on prowl in D.C.?  "The training video showed al-Qaida operatives practicing the following kinds of assaults:

  - using pickup trucks with shooters concealed in the bed of the trucks;

  - using motorcycles as a shooting platform for drive-bys and assassinations;

  - execution of prisoners;  - ambushes of law-enforcement officers;

  - residential assassinations....

  - drive-up kidnapping of target walking on a street;

  - use of tunnels, storm drains and sewers for infiltration during urban raids;

  - rappelling from rooftops of buildings to make entry on upper floors...

When asked if these techniques are intended for use in the U.S., one military intelligence operative said without hesitation, 'Yes." See Loving Evil

 

Empowering our homegrown enemies: "Sahfe and Awlaki, like nearly all the prominent jihadists in the West are men of privilege. Their personal histories are a refutation of the popular Western tale that jihad is born of frustration, poverty and ignorance. ...Western pabulums about the need to expand welfare benefits for Muslims or abstain from enforcing the laws against their communities, or give mosques immunity from surveillance and closure, or seek to co-opt jihadist leaders by treating them like credible Muslim voices are wrong.... They embolden the Western Islamic supremacists by signaling to them that they are winning."

 

Terror by Mail: "It was yet another jihad plot against targets in the United States: the bombs, sent from Yemen via UPS, were powerful enough to bring down a cargo airplane. They were addressed to a synagogue in Chicago.... Apparently this is a new strategy: Islamic jihadists have decided to terrorize Jews in particular, in accord with the Qur’an’s denunciation of Jews as 'strongest among men in enmity to the believers' (5:82)."

October 2010

Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide: 'The U.S. Is Now Experiencing the Beginning of Its End':" Improvement and Change in the Muslim World 'Can Only Be Attained Through Jihad and Sacrifice'.... Muhammad Badi' accused the Arab and Muslim regimes...of avoiding confrontation with the Muslims' real enemies – the Zionist entity and the U.S. – and of disregarding Allah's commandment to wage jihad against the infidels.

       "About the U.S., he said that it is immoral and therefore doomed to collapse, and that it is 'experiencing the beginning of its end and is heading towards its demise.'... He also stated that the Palestinian people in the West Bank and Gaza are preparing for a third intifada, and called on the mujahideen in Gaza to be patient and persist in their jihad, because Allah is with them. Finally, he urged all Arab and Muslims to unite in support of the resistance, for 'resistance is the solution.'" See Our Refuge in Christ

Times Square bomb plotter warns of war with Muslims: "...predicting the defeat of the United States at the hands of Muslim forces, Times Square bomb plotter Faisal Shahzad [warned]... 'If I was given 1,000 lives, I would sacrifice them all for Allah,' said Shahzad, 31.... "Brace yourselves, for the war with Muslims has just begun,' he said. 'Consider me the first droplet of the flood that will follow.'...

     "When [[asked about] an oath of loyalty he took when he became a U.S. citizen last year, Shahzad brushed it off. 'I did swear, but I did not mean it,' he said. ...'we will keep terrorizing you...” See Chronology of Conquests in the Name of Allah

Terror threat to restaurants as Al Qaeda calls for attacks on government workers in D.C.: "A random hit at a crowded restaurant in Washington, D.C., at lunch hour might end up knocking out a few government employees,' Yahya Ibrahim writes in the 74-page jihadi how-to magazine. 'Targeting such employees is paramount and the location would also give the operation additional media attention."'

Chinese warplanes make Mid East debut in Turkey and Iran: "From Sept. 20 to Oct. 6, the Turkish Air Force conducted its regular annual Anatolian Eagle exercise, this time without US and Israeli participation....However, their place was taken by Chinese Sukhoi Su-27 and Mig-29 warplanes.... [The] Chinese planes refueled only once on their journey to Turkey.... in central Iran."

Iran 'took over' Lebanese security: "It was Lebanese-based Iranian Revolutionary Guard units and the Hezbollah-militia that assumed security control for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit yesterday to Lebanon.... [Ahmadinejad] stated: "We completely support the Lebanese people's fight against the Zionist enemy.'" See The Nazi/Arab plots to exterminate Jews

'Growing Islamization' feared by Hindus: "Increasing Islamist attacks on Hindus in India have intimidated local police to inaction, allowing militant Muslims to act with virtual impunity in their 'growing Islamization' efforts in the region of West Bengal, where India's fourth largest city, Calcutta, is located ....Islamist militants are in a virtual undeclared war with the Indian government. For some time, there have been numerous attacks in far-flung towns. Then in 2008 Islamic terrorists attacked India's largest city, Mumbai." See Hope, Hate & Human Nature

Iran says it beat Stuxnet worm: "Iran's intelligence minister has said the country has learned how to fight off a complex computer worm that may have been designed to target Tehran's nuclear programme."

Phone app that tracks planes 'is aid to terrorists armed with missiles': "A mobile phone application costing less than £2 which tracks the precise location of passenger aircraft in the sky is a serious terrorist threat and should be banned, according to a security expert."

US Warns Americans to Be Vigilant When in Europe: "The alert is one step below a formal travel warning advising Americans not to visit Europe. 'Current information suggests that al-Qaida and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks,' it said."

September 2010

Stuxnet 'cyber superweapon' infects millions of PCs in China: "The Stuxnet computer worm has wreaked havoc in China, infecting millions of computers around the country.... It could, technically, make factory boilers explode, destroy gas pipelines or even cause a nuclear plant to malfunction.... The Stuxnet computer worm ....was found lurking on Siemens systems in India, Indonesia, Pakistan and elsewhere, but the heaviest infiltration appears to be in Iran."

China diverting U.S. military technology to Iran: "As Obama administration policymakers press to liberalize U.S. export controls to placate the U.S. defense industry and make higher levels of technology more accessible to China, U.S. intelligence has determined that China in fact is acquiring U.S. 'militarily critical' technology for Iran's military and nuclear programs..." See Deceptive alliances

Prelude to appeasement? Iran 2010 looks like Germany 1938: "Knowledge of history can be as much a snare as a guide - if it is wrapped in a dogma that distorts the current facts to match the preferred historic lesson.

    "Our actions - if there are to be any - in the Iranian nuclear-weapons-development controversy cry out for a careful assessment of facts - and a heartless rooting out of assumptions - hidden or otherwise - that may be driving policy....

    "Back in 1938, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain could have gone down in history as the greatest diplomat of the 20th century - if he had been right that Hitler had limited ambitions that could be appeased.... But as we know, Hitler could not be appeased - he had to be defeated." See Preparing for Persecution

August 2010

Hezbollah terrorists in America: "The report describes terrorist involvement in fundraising for so-called 'charity projects' and engaging in criminal activities such as money laundering, smuggling, drug trafficking, fraud and extortion. The report estimates that the Iranian-backed Hezbollah would likely increase in strength in the coming years inside the U.S. to the degree that it would pose as a national security threat by the year 2014. There is no record to be found of any arrests or deportations of any of these non-citizen terrorists who are quietly going about their business in our communities undetected....

      "The 38-page terrorism report further indicates that 'Hezbollah was being directed by the leadership in Lebanon as well as by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).' ...Meanwhile, the Muslim Brotherhood, funneling Saudi money into major American investments and endowments and into the mega mosques that are springing up across the country."

As U.S. troops leave Iraq, an officer honors the memory of a young interpreter: "One day the Qaeda came to my school. They say, 'You are not students anymore! Put away your books! Now we show you the path of jihad!'

     "My two best friends say to them, 'We are students trying to learn. We don't want to do the jihad.'

     "And then?"

     "Roy [temporary name given by US officers to the young interpreter] gave me a wan smile. 'Then, they gather the school in one place, they kneel them down, and they cut their heads with the knife."

     "They beheaded your two best friends...?"...

     "In the months that followed, Roy translated Baghdad for me. He made meaning of the Arabic calligraphy. He told me when graffiti indicated a hostile neighborhood. He let me know when the mosque wasn't broadcasting prayers but rather a call to attack the infidels. When he stood next to the scouts I led, he looked like a waterboy for a varsity sports team, but without him, my platoon was culturally blind and deaf....We called him Roy because if an insurgent heard his real name, then he and his family could be in danger."

Chinese ready to kill U.S. Navy carriers? "The modern American nuclear (two reactors) aircraft carrier...is fast (over 30 knots) and maneuverable. It carries more than 6,000 service personnel and more than 80 aircraft. Until now, the carrier has been virtually invincible. Short of a nuclear hit, the American Supercarrier could not be sunk – until now.

     "The Chinese have built, tested and are on schedule to deploy next year a missile designed to kill an American carrier....Unless Congress acts to restore funding, the United States mainland, our ships at sea and Europe will have no defense to missile threats from the Chinese, the Iranians.... Obama is engaged in unilateral disarmament."

Terrorism Under the Guise of a University? "The Islamic American University is an institution for education, training, Da'wa and studies in the fields of Islamic Shari'a.... IAU aims at grooming distinguished scholars, activists, leaders, and teachers who are well-rounded in Islam as well as in the different facets of American life.

     "The IAU board of trustees is headed by internationally renowned scholars such as Sheikh Yusuf al-Qardawi... a Muslim who is active in the Muslim Brotherhood..." See Spreading Islam through Christian & Public Schools

The Next Nuclear Nightmare: “Because of the nature of Burma’s paranoid and repressive ruling military junta, there is tremendous fear that, if it acquires a nuclear capability, it will set off an arms race that could change the political dynamics of Southeast Asia.”

 

Obama marks end of combat in Iraq: "President Obama on Monday said the U.S. is on track to have all combat troops out of Iraq by the end of this month and all troops gone from the country by the end of next year -- even as it has been gripped by a recent spate of violence and a political stalemate." Let's pray for protection for Christians in Iraq

July 2010

Burma is working on nuclear weapons programme: "Intelligence monitoring of the country’s arms purchases from North Korea has been intensified as a result."

Hezbollah at the Border: "...the terror group Hezbollah has expanded its long-established influence with South and Central American drug cartels into a working presence in Mexico....Over 180,000 illegal aliens from countries other than Mexico (OTM) were apprehended from 2007 through mid-March 2010. Nearly 150,000...were from South and Central American countries that the State Department says are being used as corridors for smuggling people from the Middle East, Southwest Asia and East Africa.

     "State Department documents... raise concerns that Hezbollah has already used these long-established narco-terror relationships to establish terror cells in the United States.... 'When you look at some of the pretty sophisticated tunnels that they’ve dug under the border where two adult males can walk side-by-side without bending over you know that they’ve built them not just for moving drugs through there but [to move] anything through there,' Bonner said.”  See God's Warnings for our Times

The Wrong Way to Fight Jihad: [Interview with Vijay Kumar, congressional candidate, raised in India) "Islam’s Universal Jihad is the single greatest threat to Western civilization and to the entire non-Islamic world in general. It is more dangerous than Nazism and Communism combined.... Universal Jihad has been brought to the West – not just by overt violence, but through every strategy and tactic conceivable. Islam...is a complete political and paramilitary ideology....

     "It has been Islam’s mandate for 1,400 years that other cultures must submit to it.... Any Muslim or apologist [like Obama] who...insists that Islam is just 'a religion of peace'...are spreading Islamic propaganda that has no other purpose than to lull the infidel into a false sense of...security. Such propaganda is a primary and vitally important tool of Islam’s psychological warfare....

     "Its openly-declared goal is to destroy the United States as a system of government, to tear up our Constitution, and subject us all to Islamic totalitarianism under Sharia law.... When they enter into an alleged 'peace accord,' it is only a ploy to buy time to build their position for ultimate conquest. This is by their own creed: in Islam’s system of 'ethics,' it is perfectly acceptable to lie to mere infidels.... 

     "...the idea of a 'War on Terror' is absurd. Terrorism is nothing more than one of the many technique and tactics used to advance Islam’s political ideology....

     "The real power behind Universal Jihad...lies with the Pakistani ISI – the intelligence services of Pakistan....

     "...Saudi ruling elite form the epicenter for global terrorism, because it is they who fund all mosques and madrasas around the world – and that includes the United States." See next link:

Shahzad vows to avenge 'martyred' terrorists: "Faisal Shahzad, who pleaded guilty last month to all charges against him in the attempted bombing case, says: 'This attack on the United States will also be a revenge attack for all the mujahdeen…and the weak and oppressed people of Muslims.'...In the video, Shahzad says '...you will see that the Muslim war has just starteduntil Islam is spread in the whole world.' '…democracy will be defeated, and so was communism defeated… and the word of Allah will be supreme.'"

Obama at odds with Petraeus doctrine on 'Islam': "The White House's official policy of banning the word 'Islam' in describing America's terrorist enemies is in direct conflict with the U.S. military's war-fighting doctrine now guiding commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan. John O. Brennan... laid out the White House policy of detaching any reference to Islam when referring to terrorists, be it al Qaeda, the Taliban or any other group.

     "But Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, the man tapped by Mr. Obama as the new top commander in Afghanistan, led the production of an extensive counterinsurgency manual in December 2006 that does, in fact, tell commanders of a link between Islam and extremists. The Petraeus doctrine refers to 'Islamic insurgents,' 'Islamic extremists' and 'Islamic subversives.' It details ties between Muslim support groups and terrorists." See Deceptive alliances

Taliban tactic: Making terrorists out of monkeys? Report says U.S. soldiers targeted by AK-47-wielding simians: "Afghanistan's Taliban terrorists are training monkeys to shoot American soldiers with automatic weapons, according to British and Chinese media agencies."

June 2010

Activist: Islam on the rise: "...President Obama's pro-Islamic leanings are to blame for radical Islamic groups becoming so emboldened that they are openly holding conferences on U.S. soil calling for the establishment of a global Islamic empire.... On July 11 the radical Islamic group Hizb ut-Tahrir America (HTA) will hold its second annual 'Global Campaign for Khilafah' in a Chicago suburb to call for an end to capitalism and to hype the virtues of an Islamic state ruled by strict sharia law....

     "This year's event is billed 'Emerging World Order: How the Khilafah Will Shape the World.'....HTA is an extremist organization which wants to establish a global Khilafah. The group has been described by the president of American Islamic Forum for Democracy as 'a conveyor belt to terror.'" See Unequal Contenders in the Spiritual War

Are Terrorists Crossing Arizona Border Into U.S.? "On a single day... nearly 400 inmates sat awaiting trial or extradition after being detained trying to cross the Arizona border from Mexico. Only about half of them were actually from Mexico....Homeland Security officials were holding inmates from Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt, Lebanon, and the Sudan. 'They’re coming from all over,' Arizona Senator Jon Kyl said." See God's Peace in the midst of turmoil

Hezbollah, Hamas Raise Money for ‘Terrorist Activities’ From Drug Trade in South America: "Amid growing concern about the illicit drug trade along the U.S.-Mexico border, the terrorist groups Hezbollah and Hamas are linked to South American drug trafficking organizations South America – and the money Hezbollah and Hamas make from narco-trafficking is used to finance their organizations..." See The Nature and Tactics of Satan

Syria strengthens its ties with North Korea: "U.S. intelligence agencies have tracked North Korean assistance to Syrian ballistic missile programs for decades, and in more recent years Pyongyang is suspected of helping Syria develop a clandestine nuclear capability on a site bombed by Israeli warplanes in 2007. Israel also accuses the Stalinist state of sending weapons to the region for intended use by Hezbollah and Hamas in Lebanon and Gaza. Syria and Iran are the main sponsors of the two terrorist organizations."

Obama STARTS to Disarm America: "On April 8 in Prague, President Obama signed what is called the New START bilateral arms control agreement. It reads like it was written by the Russians and has nothing good in it for the United States. Obama is demanding a rush to ratification, after which we can then discover the details of what the treaty requires. Does that remind you of the procedure used for Obamacare? If there ever were a need for the Senate to read the bill and for the Senate to use its 'advice' power as well as its 'consent' power, this is it....

     "In the globalist world that Obama inhabits, he dreams of a nuclear-zero world. But his 'world without nuclear weapons' would be a world where the United States is a sitting duck for nukes fired by a rogue nation. The treaty allows Russia to build new and modern weapons to reach New START limits, whereas the United States is locked into reducing its current number. ...the U.S. will be stuck with its current, out-of-date, untested warheads....

    "The fantasy that our abandonment of nuclear weapons will inspire other nations to follow our example is..foolish.... When the Cold War thawed and the U.S. and the old U.S.S.R. dramatically reduced their nuclear warheads, that encouraged proliferation....

    "New START gives up the verification, on-site inspections and monitoring of production that were requirements of previous treaties. Whatever happened to Ronald Reagan's maxim, 'Trust, but verify'?" See Washington's Farewell Address

Muslim neighbors alarmed by Iran's plans: "The growing threat from Iran and its suspected nuclear program is alarming even its Muslim neighbors. ...Arab nations think any conflict that would erupt could allow Iran then to attack them, due to their opposition to its nuclear program and Iran's geopolitical intentions to take over the Arab Peninsula."

Obama STARTS to Disarm America: "On April 8 in Prague, President Obama signed what is called the New START bilateral arms control agreement.

Fighting a War without Bullets? "Commanders have ordered a U.S. military unit in Afghanistan to patrol with unloaded weapons....Our overall aim is to defeat the insurgency which means we must gain and then maintain the support of the Afghan population,' said Lieutenant Commander Iain Baxter..."

North Korea threatens "all-out war": North Korea threatened 'all-out war' if Seoul retaliates for the torpedo attack which sank a South Korean warship. Pyongyang made the threat yesterday as it dismissed a report by an international team of specialists that found a torpedo fired by a North Korean submarine sank the 1,200-tonne Cheonan in March, killing 46 sailors."

Thai army closes in for the kill: "At least 24 people have died violently in Bangkok since Thursday....The Red Shirts have discovered a surprising core of solidarity since their protests turned into a broad movement for social change and an end to domination by Thailand’s royalist elite. 'The government is not fair,' said Nong Satthahit, 35. 'The price of rice goes up and down but we never get richer.' That is why many protesters are loyal to Thaksin Shinawatra, the exiled prime minister, who brought in cheap loans and healthcare for the masses before he was ousted in a military coup in 2006." Do those issues sound familiar?

Islamic mosque at 9/11 Ground Zero sparks protest: "A human-rights group is calling on Americans – especially family and friends of loved ones who were lost when Muslim terrorists murdered 2,751 people in the name of Allah on Sept. 11, 2001 – to fight construction of a 13-story Islamic mosque to be built just steps from Ground Zero." See Hope, Hate & Human Nature

Intel Briefs: Obama priorities include Navy cuts: "The Navy is about to have its future ship options dramatically cut due to mounting budget constraints and President Barack Obama's nuclear disarmament goals, and the moves could affect the ability of the United States to respond to future crises."

A Game-Changing Weapon: "The Russian company... is marketing a deadly new weapon, one that can allow a rogue state to overcome the technological superiority of Western militaries. The system can even be used to carry out devastating attacks on the U.S. homeland with little means of defense....Military targets like aircraft carriers could be destroyed, or a key piece of infrastructure could be disabled. The U.S. would have to begin checking all the ship cargo entering via the ports and the trucks entering the country. ...the weapon is meant for anti-American clients." See God's Peace in the midst of turmoil

Obama Wants to Take Israel's Nukes: "...Obama is keen to adopt an Egyptian proposal to declare the Middle East a nuclear-free zone. A follow-up regional conference would put heavy pressure on all nations to comply. Being the only country in the Middle East believed to possess nuclear weapons, Israel would be the clear target....Arab and Muslim nations have enthusiastically joined and pushed the discussion on Israel's nuclear program in an effort to divert attention from Iran." See Jerusalem

The German Connection: "Islamism, as we now call a radical version of the faith, emerged in close contact with the West. In the decades before 9/11 Western governments often turned a blind eye to Islamist agitation or, in a few cases, naïvely nurtured the very people who today inspire or lead terrorist attacks in Pakistan.... Islamism can be traced back to an Egyptian schoolteacher named Hasan al-Banna. In 1928 he founded the Muslim Brotherhood, a group devoted to restoring a fundamentalist idea of Islam to government and society alike....

    "During the 1930s, the German government saw the Muslim Brotherhood, with its anti-Semitism and its anti-communist views, as a useful ally. The Germans bankrolled the group's quasi-military wing. At the same time, the Nazis recruited religious Muslims in Central Asia and the Caucasus to fight the Soviets....The U.S. (and the British) also decided to back the Muslim Brotherhood; as the sworn enemy of Egyptian ruler Gamel Nasser, the group looked like a useful friend..."

Iran strikes secret nuclear mining deal with Zimbabwe's Mugabe regime: "In return for supplying oil, which Zimbabwe desperately needs to keep its faltering economy moving, Iran has been promised access to potentially huge deposits of uranium ore – which can be converted into the basic fuel for nuclear power or enriched to make a nuclear bomb. 'Iran secured the exclusive uranium rights last month...'"

Chinese Military Seeks to Extend Its Naval Power: "The Chinese military is seeking to project naval power well beyond the Chinese coast, from the oil ports of the Middle East to the shipping lanes of the Pacific, where the United States Navy has long reigned as the dominant force."

Iran boosts Qods shock troops in Venezuela: "The report on Iranian military power provides new details on the group known formally as the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF), the Islamist shock troops deployed around the world to advance Iranian interests. The unit is aligned with terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, North Africa and Latin America, and the report warns that U.S. forces are likely to battle the Iranian paramilitaries in the future."

The Most Dysfunctional Place on Earth: "We now live in a nation that will not name its enemy. Homeland Security wants to eliminate terms like Islamic jihad or terrorism from its vocabulary lest we offend some of the people trying to kill us. The United States has global enemies of every description. Pretending they don't exist is an invitation to attack....

     "Poised on its borders and funded by Iran are two proxy forces, Hezbollah and Hamas. Barring a nuclear attack on Israel, if they succeed, the West is next. The West has tried to ignore this for a very long time.... While the present administration seeks to encumber efforts to find these enemies within our borders... our enemies do not feel bound by any laws, international or domestic."

Nuclear Posturing, Obama-Style: [Krauthammer] "During the Cold War, we let the Russians know that if they dared use their huge conventional military advantage and invaded Western Europe, they risked massive U.S. nuclear retaliation.... Was this credible?... A nuclear posture is just that -- a declaratory policy designed to make the other guy think twice.... Does anyone believe that North Korea or Iran will be more persuaded to abjure nuclear weapons because they could then carry out a biological or chemical attack on the U.S. without fear of nuclear retaliation?"

March 2010

Saudi princes sponsor turbulence: "With their mansions in the center of London and in the countryside around the capital, many of the princes are members of the Wahhabi sect, named after the founder of modern Islamic extremism.

      "'...another 50 volunteers had been recruited to go to Afghanistan,' said an MI5 officer in Skopje. They had been recruited by the several Islamic charities that recently arrived in the region and are suspected of spreading extremism and carrying out money laundering for terrorist organizations."

Guess who's biggest Islamic threat: "Famed PLO terrorist-turned-Christian Walid Shoebat is warning that the United States needs to be watching not Iran, Syria or even Hamas and Hezbollah as closely as it needs to follow the actions of the Islamic leaders of Turkey.... The report said Turkey's increasing disinterest in the European Union combined with its efforts to re-establish its influence in Turkic countries of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan and its outreaches to Russian, Syria and Iran are cause for concern....

    "Shoebat, the grandson of the Muslim Mukhtar of Beit Sahour-Bethlehem and a friend of Haj-Ameen Al-Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem and notorious friend of Adolf Hitler, is worried about what Turkey is saying and doing."

'Iran developing massive launch site': "North Korea reportedly assisting Teheran in building launch pad for new missile."

The U.S. is not prepared to defend itself against cyberattacks: "If a top intelligence expert said America was not prepared for war and, indeed, that if we went to war 'we would lose,' that would worry you, wouldn’t it? Start worrying....

     "McConnell told a Senate committee last week that the risk we face from cyberattacks 'rivals nuclear weapons in terms of seriousness.' Cybercombatants could cause massive blackouts lasting for months. They could destroy the electronic processes on which our banking, commerce, and financial systems have been built, stealing — or simply wiping out — vast amounts of wealth. They could put our air-transportation system in jeopardy. They might even be able to cripple our defense and national-security infrastructures." See Two Kinds of Darkness

Muammar Gaddafi calls for jihad on Swiss after ban on building minarets: "Muammar Gaddafi has appealed for jihad against Switzerland, long regarded as one of the most peaceful nations in the world.... 'Any Muslim in any part of the world who works with Switzerland is an apostate, is against (the Prophet) Muhammad, God and the Koran,' Colonel Gaddafi said..."

5 Muslim soldiers arrested in S.C.: "Five Muslim soldiers were arrested for allegedly trying to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson in South Carolina, according to CBN News. The men, arrested just before Christmas, were part of the Arabic Translation program at the base."

Biden seeks test ban and end to all U.S. nukes: "The Obama administration will move ahead with Senate ratification of a treaty banning nuclear tests that was voted down by Republicans morereaching a new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) with Russia than a decade ago.... The administration is close to , and is nearing completion of a review of U.S. nuclear weapons forces, Mr. Biden said." How can we trust Russia? See Signs of the times

Paying Tribute to Terror: "It has been widely reported, most recently by Al-Jazeera, that the Obama administration and the British government have been contemplating paying off 'moderate' elements of the Taliban in Afghanistan – to the tune of perhaps one billion dollars – as a means of pacifying resistance in that troubled nation.... The Quran expressly allows Muslims to lie to non-Muslims whenever they can advance the teachings of the prophet Muhammad through the use of such deceptions."

 

Al-Qaida likely to attempt attack: "The terrorist organization is deploying operatives to the United States to carry out new attacks from inside the country, including 'clean' recruits with a negligible trail of terrorist contacts.'... 'The biggest threat is not so much that we face an attack like 9/11. It is that al-Qaida is adapting its methods in ways that oftentimes make it difficult to detect," Panetta told the Senate Intelligence Committee."

Iran will deliver telling blow to global powers on Feb. 11: "Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the nation will deliver a harsh blow to the 'global arrogance' on this year's anniversary of the Islamic Revolution. 'The Islamic Revolution opened a window to liberty for the human race, which was trapped in the dead ends of materialism,' Ahmadinejad said. ...as the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution approaches."

Obama inciting Russian missile expansion? "President Obama's decision to cancel the installation of defensive missiles in Poland last September may now be undergoing change – with the deployment of U.S. Patriot anti-missiles there, an action that is prompting Russian retaliation."

Switzerland to hold referendum on lawyers for animals : The country recently changed its constitution to ensure the protection of the "dignity" of plant life and passed a law last year guaranteeing rights for all creatures - from guinea pigs to goldfish. If Swiss voters approve the referendum in March, every canton in the country will be obliged to appoint a lawyer to act on behalf of pets and barnyard animals in order to protect them from abuse. ....."Pet keepers think that a so-called love for a guinea pig is enough," he told The Sunday Times. "But this ignores the animal's needs as a species, such as having a companion."

Al-Qaida seeking tools for nuclear 9/1: "Agents for Britain's MI6 Secret Intelligence Service say they are 'certain' al-Qaida is poised to try and grab some of the 80 nuclear weapons that Pakistan possesses. ...there is mounting evidence 'the leadership is thinking of a nuclear 9/11 and are approaching it in increasingly professional ways.'... One analyst said, "There are up to 12,000 people in Pakistan with some kind of role which brings them into nuclear facilities...'"

The Abdulmutallab Travesty: "...the Obama administration shut him down. It didn’t go so far as to tell the Customs and Border Protection officers to cover their ears and try not to listen when Abdulmutallab made incriminating statements on the initial ride to the hospital, but it came close. It had an FBI team inform Abdulmutallab of his right to remain silent, after which he predictably remained silent." See Chronology of Conquests in the Name of Allah

Al-Qaeda threat: Britain worst in western world: "Al-Qaeda has successfully restructured its global network....Two years ago Jonathan Evans, the head of MI5, estimated that there were 2,000 al-Qaeda sympathisers based in Britain....With al-Qaeda’s leadership under intense pressure from Nato and Pakistani security forces, there are reports that scores of British activists are now travelling to Yemen and Somalia to attend al-Qaeda training camps and receive instructions for carrying out terror attacks against Western targets....

     "The ease with which al-Qaeda has managed to launch attacks against American targets has taken many U.S. intelligence officials by surprise... They have also been shocked to discover that many of those responsible for strengthening the terror capabilities of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula are former inmates of the U.S. Guantanamo Detention Facility in Cuba. Pentagon officials estimate that one in five released Guantanamo detainees have rejoined al-Qaeda terror cells after their release.... [or "far higher than estimated by the Pentagon]....

     "'...Yemen has now emerged as one of al-Qaeda’s top training grounds for its global terrorist network,' said a senior U.S. intelligence official. 'And what really concerns us now is the number of British-based Muslims who are traveling there to take part in the training. This represents a serious escalation in the terror threat the West faces from Islamic militants.'” 

New Al-Qaeda chiefs bringing terror to the world -- Former Guantanamo prisoners have moved to Yemen to rejoin the fight against the West: "...al-Shihri, a Saudi national, spent six years as prisoner number 372 at the US-run Guantanamo detention centre in Cuba after being captured on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in December 2001. In December 2007, however, he was released into the custody of the Saudi government’s 'deradicalisation' programme for terrorists.... Last week Pentagon sources admitted that 61 former prisoners at the camp, 12% of the 510 released, have returned to the battlefield."

Britain and US shut embassies in Yemen after al-Qaida threats: "Al-Qaida threats have forced Britain and the United States to close their embassies in Yemen today amid increasing concern about the roots of terrorism in the Arabian peninsula...." Yet the effort to stop international terrorists from entering America is minimal. Are we asking for disaster?

Al-Qaida double-agent killed CIA officers: "The suicide bombing on a CIA base in Afghanistan last week was carried out by a Jordanian doctor who was an al-Qaida double-agent.... Al-Balawi was arrested by Jordanian intelligence  more than a year ago. However, the Jordanians believed that al-Balawi had been successfully reformed and brought over to the American and Jordanian side, setting him up as an agent and sending him off to Afghanistan and Pakistan to infiltrate al-Qaida.'...

      “...you ponder the verses and hadiths that speak about jihad and its graciousness, and then you let your imagination run wild to fly with what Allah has prepared for martyrs, your life become cheap for its purpose,' he told the interviewer.... 'They say 'there's love that kills.' And I only see that as truthful in the love for jihad...'”

Regime change in Iran: "Hardly a day passes without the increasingly embattled regime of the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and his ever more despised protégé President Mahmoud Amadinejad, using the Revolutionary Guards against the people. With every fatal bullet, with every ill-directed teargas canister and every ill-advised arrest, the heirs to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini who overthrew the shah, are themselves fighting a losing battle against a population sufficiently roused to stage a new coup..." Obama is vulnerable on terror -- and he knows it: "Janet Napolitano, the Homeland Security chief – who prefers the term 'man-caused disasters' to 'terrorism' - blithely stated that there was 'no indication that it is part of anything larger'. She then insisted that the 'system is working'. Although Napolitano has taken a lot of flak for these comic utterances, she was not 'misspeaking' but trotting out the agreed talking points of the day....

     "There is a pattern in the Obama administration of dismissing Islamist terrorist attacks as regrettable random acts. In his radio address after Major Nidal Hassan's slaughtered 13 at Fort Hood, Texas, Obama made no mention of terrorism or militant Islam.... In June, Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad, a Muslim convert being watched by the FBI and who had previously travelled to Yemen, murdered a US Army recruit in Arkansas. That rated only a tepid statement by Obama about a 'senseless act of violence.'"

Clues left by Fort Hood shooter: "Nidal Malik Hasan was causing a ruckus in his one-bedroom apartment during the early hours of Nov. 5, banging against the thin walls long after midnight, packing boxes and shredding papers until he woke up the tenants next door.... Then Hasan visited another neighbor, a devout Christian, who looked at him quizzically when he handed her a copy of the Quran and recommended passages for her to read. 'In my religion,' Hasan told her, 'we'll do anything to be closer to God.' Just before the break of dawn in Killeen, Texas, Hasan... stopped for his customary breakfast.... Hasan approached the counter with coffee and hash browns at 6:22 a.m., wearing an Arab robe and a white kufi cap. Before fiddling in his pockets for change, buying his breakfast and driving away to work at Fort Hood, Hasan smiled at another customer and issued what sounded like a warning. 'There's going to be big action on post around 1:30,' he said.... 'Be prepared.'.... At 1:34 p.m. on Nov. 5, he bowed his head in prayer during his regular shift at Fort Hood, opened his eyes and started shooting."

Bombing Attempt Puts Nigeria in Spotlight: "Friday’s foiled attempt to bomb an American airliner is focusing fresh attention on the suspected bomber’s home country, Nigeria, which on Friday will take a seat on the U.N. Security Council for the next two years."

Father of Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab... warned U.S.: "The terror suspect who tried to blow up a Detroit-bound plane is the son of a Nigerian banker who alerted U.S. authorities to his 'extreme religious views' months ago.... The father, Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, a former minister and chairman of First Bank in Nigeria, is shocked that his son was even was allowed to fly to the U.S.... 

       "The suspect boarded the Airbus 330 - carrying 278 passengers and 11 crew members - in Amsterdam after arriving on a flight from Lagos. He told authorities he got the explosives in Yemen and received orders from Al Qaeda operatives to detonate the device on a plane over U.S. soil." See some interesting clues in the next four links:

Terrorist Training Camps in the US: "The Spread of Homegrown Terrorists - Islamic training camps in America's back yard. Why are these communities left to flourish in the US?" The video tells us these hostile camps are constitutional. Strange - when the Bill of Rights (especially the 1st Amendment) seems to be fading fast. Is this another convenient crisis that could speed the process of change? Whatever the case, our God still reigns!

'Chilling' new video: How to slit throats: "The video shows women marching in military formation, scaling walls, engaging in hand-to-hand combat....  The speaker states, 'We are 100 percent sure that Muslims are the majority in America'. He continues, 'Our Islamic political party has based its manifesto on this fact. We want to declare once and for all that America is our country.'

     "...the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2005 warned about Jamaat ul-Fuqra, a Pakistani-based organization.... The U.S. State Department's 1998 Patterns of Global Terrorism report notes the organization seeks to purify Islam through violence.' ... 'Members have purchased isolated rural compounds in North America to live communally, practice their faith and insulate themselves from Western culture. Fuqra members have attacked a variety of targets that they view as enemies of Islam."
      "The organization's 'Homegrown Jihad' video includes a chilling scene of ... Sheikh Mubarak Gilani telling followers to 'act like you're his friend. Then kill him.'"
      "According to the Religion of Peace website, there have been more than 250 jihad attacks by Muslims around the globe – including two inside the U.S. – in just the last two months. The death toll from the attacks has surpassed 1,400..."

Rules of engagement killing U.S. soldiers: "...those restrictions include the following: ~No night or surprise searches. ~Villagers are to be warned prior to searches Afghan National Army... ~U.S. soldiers may not fire at insurgents unless they are preparing to fire first. ~U.S. forces cannot engage insurgents if civilians are present.... Often, rules of engagement require varying levels of approvals before action can be taken."

The Threat at Home: "A growing body of evidence suggests that Somali communities in the Unites States have become fertile ground for terrorist groups to recruit and implant operatives. On November 23, the federal government announced eight more indictments of Somali-Americans in Minnesota on charges of recruiting members of their community to join the al-Shabaab terrorist organization in Somalia....

      "Somali gangs are also becoming an issue in Minnesota. Shukri Adan, a former Somali community organizer, said in 2007 that there 400-500 members of his community were involved in gangs.... 'Despite anger and despair over the killings in Minnesota’s Somali community—the nation’s largest—police and prosecutors have struggled to catch and try the killers.” See Hope, Hate & Human Nature

Islamists say Taliban targeting India: "The Pakistani Taliban, apparently aided by al-Qaida elements, may have decided to launch an all-out effort to take over Pakistan and use it as a base to begin an offensive against Indian-administered Kashmir, according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin." See Signs of the times

'Flying imams' rewarded for ominous airline 'stunt'? "The nation's self-proclaimed foremost Muslim civil rights group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, is celebrating what it calls a 'victory for justice and civil rights'.... Most Americans remember the Nov. 20, 2006, spectacle of the half-dozen Muslim clerics who were kicked off a US Airways Minneapolis-to-Phoenix flight after engaging in behavior that alarmed both passengers and crew before takeoff. Many on board feared the imams – who prayed loudly in Arabic, refused to sit in their assigned seats, fanned out in the cabin in pairs to occupy the front, middle and rear exit rows, ordered seat-belt extenders they didn't need.... talked about al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden... – were testing security procedures in a dry run for a future hijacking. The imams, who insisted they were acting innocently, were booted off the plane.... According to the judge, the imams had been subjected to 'extreme fear and humiliation of being falsely identified as dangerous terrorists.'...

     "Comments New York Police Department detective Edward Sloan: 'Acts of staged controversy could… be used to desensitize security personnel by making activity that common sense would deem suspicious instead seem routine...." By suing.... CAIR intimidated crew and passengers alike, possibly making them more reluctant to report suspicious."

     This wasn't the first time Muslims "tested security procedures.'"

Iran threatens to invade Pakistan: "The commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards... Mohammad Ali Jafary, Monday, Oct. 19, threatened "crushing" retaliation against the US, UK and Pakistan including the invasion of its eastern neighbor. Tehran links all three to the suicide bombing attack... which killed 42 people including seven senior Guards officers. One was Gen. Nur Ali Shoustari, Jafari's deputy... commander of the al Qods clandestine terror bases in Iraq, Pakistan, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip." See next link:

9/11 Truth Niels Harrit on Nanothermite Evidence

Does al-Qaida have key to unlock Pakistan nukes? "The prospect of an inside job became more worrisome after it was revealed that Pakistan's top nuclear scientist, A.Q. Khan, had set up a global black market nuclear network for more than a decade and had shared nuclear information with such state sponsors of terrorism as Iran and North Korea. The CIA has confirmed that Khan's associates had met with bin Laden prior to 9/11."

'Now we have proof' jihadis infiltrating D.C.: "...CAIR and other 'mainstream' Islamic groups are acting as fronts for a well-funded conspiracy of the Muslim Brotherhood – the parent of al-Qaida and Hamas – to infiltrate and destroy the American system. Until now, CAIR has remained a powerful force in the nation's capital and across the country, from demanding the Obama administration stop FBI counter-terrorism tactics to compelling a school district to apologize to Muslims. ... The new evidence shows that CAIR – already designated an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror-financing case in U.S. history – is part of an organized crime network in America made up of more than 100 other Muslim front groups that collectively comprise the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood.

      "'These guys talk about jihad and murdering Jews like the mob talked about killing – totally casual, like they were ordering pizza,' said one FBI official.... President Obama is hiring Muslims – including an adviser who advocates compliance with Shariah law – based on resumes solicited from Muslim Brotherhood fronts."

Thirty 'high-risk' terrorists to be released early: "Up to 30 'high-risk' terrorists — including some of the most dangerous men in Britain — are due to be released from jail in the next year. More are being freed in the wake of a ruling by Britain's most senior judges that long sentences for terrorist crimes could 'inflame' rather than deter extremism." The terrorists' reward: the greater the terror, the shorter the punishment!

Billions in U.S. Aid Never Reached Pakistan Army: "The United States has long suspected that much of the billions of dollars it has sent Pakistan to battle militants has been diverted to the domestic economy and other causes, such as fighting India. ...only $500 million of the $6.6 billion in American aid actually made it to the Pakistani military."

Holier Than Obama: "...the NCC [National Council of Churches] ... is insisting that the U.S. unilaterally disarm, as an example to others. According to the NCC, American nukes have 'siphoned off untold billions' away from 'more just' causes, 'poisoned our air, our water, and our children,' 'produced toxic waste' and engendered 'inordinate pride, much resented by other nations'....

     "Others might argue that the U.S. nuclear umbrella preserved Western Civilization, deterred world war, facilitated a growing global economy generating unprecedented wealth for countless millions across 6 decades, and deterred countless other less responsible regimes from contriving their own nukes. But since the NCC sees the world through a utopian and chronically anti-American lens, it cannot imagine the likely sinister consequences.... The NCC board's anti-nuke stance is called "Nuclear Disarmament: The Time is Now," and barely registers a quibble about Iran or North Korea..."

Germany on Terrorism Watch... "after is citizens voted in a center-right government under conservative Chancellor Angela Merkel in Sunday's federal election. In days leading up to the election, Islamists had increasingly threatened terrorist attacks inside Germany, if Germans did not vote for withdrawal of their troops from Afghanistan.... German voters would not be intimidated and elected Merkel who had stated German soldiers would probably stay in Afghanistan another ten years....

     "The most menacing, pre-election threat was made by a young al Qaeda spokesman.... Threatening Germans in a video from the wilds of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region, he said failure to vote the way al Qaeda wanted would cause Germans to suffer a 'rude awakening.' A terrorist attack, he promised, would occur inside Germany within two weeks after election day..."

He said the U.S. has to be 'serious' about denying Israel the right to attack."

Jihadi Public Relations: "Hamas' attack against the Jund Ansar Allah (JAA, 'The Soldiers or the Partisans of Allah'), a Jihadist group inside Gaza, was intended to provide the Palestinian Islamist organization a pass to become a 'mainstream' movement, acceptable internationally as a partner in peace negotiations with Israel. This is another murky development in the world of Jihadism, where the biggest brothers in holy war devoured the little ones in a race between who can achieve final victory against the Kuffar (infidels). ...

     "Hundreds of already indoctrinated youth joined the JAA and formed the nucleus of a Jihadi milita. Their ranks were growing at an alarming rate for Hamas, which had to squash them, before they became a competitive organization. The JAA was on its way to devouring Hamas using the same doctrines upon which Hamas was founded, grew and used to overthrow Fatah from Gaza." See Spiritual Warfare

Defense: They Build While We Cut: "Russia and China, two potential U.S. adversaries in a future war, are committed to big increases in defense spending and global military adventures in the coming years, just as President Obama is forcing the Pentagon to scale back.

Numbering the days of dictators: "Ahmadinejad's accomplishments these past few weeks have been vast and unmistakable. By securing the unconditional support of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for his power grab, Ahmadinejad killed three birds with one stone. He ensured that the clerical hierarchy in Qom — which is dependent on Khamenei for its financial stability — acquiesced to his authority. He expanded the Revolutionary Guards Corps' control over the country by making them the indispensible guardians of the revolution. And he effectively transformed Khamenei from the 'supreme leader' into a creature of Ahmadinejad's will."

Ways to stem radical-Muslim conversions in U.S. prisons: "The horrifying news of an American soldier gunned down at a Little Rock Army recruitment center has left many asking why.... .[A]ttorney Jim Hensley told reporters that his client was 'radicalized' by Islamic fundamentalists in a Yemeni prison, where he spent four months last year after overstaying his visa....

     "Thousands of inmates are radicalized by Islam every year, and it is happening in prisons right here in the United States. ... While about 1 in 100 Americans claims to be Muslim, six times as many American prisoners identify as Muslim. As many as 40,000 American prison inmates convert to Islam every year. ... A highly regarded 2006 study called 'Out of the Shadows' found that 'tight knit communities of Muslims in prison are ripe for radicalization, and could easily become terrorist cells.'...

     "In 2008, the Federal Bureau of Prisons completed an inventory of Islamic books and videos in Muslim chapel libraries in 105 federal correctional institutions. It discovered hundreds of volumes by jihadist and Islamist writers that were replete with anti-Christian and anti-Western language and calls to violence."  See Hope, Hate & Human Nature

He then went to Yemen hoping to study with a jihadist imam, apparently traveling to Yemen on a passport from another flashpoint of the global jihad, Somalia.... Muhammad apparently had plans for a jihad larger than one that involved simply shooting up a military recruiting center: on his computer were maps to Jewish organizations and a Baptist church, as well as to a child care center, a post office and other military recruiting centers.

The Jihadi Virus in Our Jails: "After a yearlong investigation launched by the Bush administration, the feds cracked down on a ring of murder-minded black Muslim jailhouse converts preparing to bomb two Bronx synagogues and "eager to bring death to Jews." They also planned to attack a New York National Guard air base in Newburgh, N.Y., where the suspects lived and worshiped at a local mosque. Not one word from the president on the jihadists' intended victims, motives or means. ...No condemnation for the accused plotters. Why? Because doing so would force Obama to abandon his cottony "extremist ideology" euphemisms and confront the concrete truth."

Scientists Discover Active Thermitic Material in WTC [World Trade Center] Dust: "'What we've discovered is not conventional thermite -- which is what NIST continues to refer to -- but a highly engineered thermitic material, or 'super thermite', probably designed for just this type of application.' Pre-planned demolition, supporters say, is the 'best-fit' model for the many unusual and unexplained characteristics of the building failures, such as the speed and symmetry of the collapses, and the extreme pulverization of the materials leading to clouds of micron-sized dust particles, described in one insurance report as behaving similar to a 'volcanic eruption'....

     Jones was joined in that effort by several others including Dr. Niels Harrit, a chemistry professor with the University of Copenhagen for over 30 years and author of numerous research papers in journals such as Nano Letters, the Journal of the American Chemistry Society, and the Journal of Physical Chemistry....

     "...chemist and co-author Kevin Ryan, a former Underwriters Laboratories manager, challenged the NIST [official government] report in public statements in 2004, and was consequently fired. "This finding really goes beyond anything that has previously been shown," says Jones. "We had to use sophisticated tools to analyze the dust because this isn't just a typical explosive, RDX or CD4 or something -- this is a highly engineered material not readily available to just anyone."

Taleban: we will launch attack on America that will amaze world: "The 35-year-old leader of Tehrik-e-Taleban Pakistan (Movement of Taleban Pakistan), made the claims after taking the highly unusual step of telephoning Western news organisationfrom an undisclosed location. 'We wholeheartedly take responsibility for this attack and will carry out more such attacks in future,' he said. 'Soon we will launch an attack in Washington that will amaze everyone in the world. ...we will exact our revenge on them from inside America.”

A Single Nuke Could Destroy America: "On February 3rd, Iran launched a 'communications satellite' into orbit. At this very moment, North Korea is threatening to do the same. The ability to launch an alleged communications satellite belies a far more frightening truth. A rocket that can carry a satellite into orbit can also drop a nuclear warhead over any location on the planet in less than forty-five minutes. ...One small nuclear weapon, delivered by an ICBM can, in fact, destroy the United States by maximizing the effect of the resultant electromagnetic pulse upon detonation."

Terrorists Among Us: "An interview with Ben R. Furman, the FBI's Former Counterterrorism Chief: "Rooting out terrorists is a difficult job under the best of circumstances, but it’s made more difficult by the 'open border' crowd that labels the agencies or anyone trying to control illegal immigration as racists, xenophobes and bigots....

     "In 2002, the director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) reported this to the Canadian Senate Committee on Security and Intelligence: 'With perhaps the singular exception of the United States, there are more international terrorist groups active here than any other country in the world. ... [T]he following terrorist groups or front groups acting on their behalf have been and are active in Canada: Hezbollah and other Shiite Islamic terrorist organizations; several Sunni Islamic extremist groups, including Hamas, with ties to Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Lebanon and Iran; the Tamil Tigers; the Kurdistan Worker's Party (PKK); and all of the world's major Sikh terrorist groups.'...

      "The deadly civil war between the drug cartels and Mexican soldiers has created an ideal climate for terrorists to slip into the country. Smugglers, both human sex trade traffickers, and those like the 'coyotes' that transport illegal aliens, are eager to help them for a price.....

      "A major concern is the terrorist who gains entry legally by establishing residence in a friendly country like Venezuela, becoming a citizen, and then entering the U.S. by a valid visa."

U.S. plans $900 million pledge for Gaza "...to help rebuild Gaza after Israel's invasion [an attempt to diminish Gaza's unceasing rocket assaults on civilians] and strengthen the Western-backed Palestinian Authority." More deficit spending?

Terror Training Camps On American Soil: “'We are fighting to destroy the enemy. We are dealing with evil at its roots and its roots are America.' So said the Pakistani Sheikh Muburak Gilani, leader of the jihad terrorist group Jamaat ul-Fuqra. And the way that he and his organization are 'dealing with evil at its roots'is to set up jihad terror training camps all over the United States -- often under the noses of government and law enforcement officials who are either indifferent or too hamstrung by political correctness to do anything about it....

     "...in 2006, the Department of Justice reported that Jamaat ul-Fuqra 'has more than 35 suspected communes and more than 3,000 members spread across the United States, all in support of one goal: the purification of Islam through violence.' That means, of course, violence against unbelievers."

Syria building chemical weapons plant: "Al-Safir is home to a chemical weapons production facility and a missile base that holds a significant part of Syria's long-range Scud D ballistic missiles.... The Scud D has a range of 700 kilometers and al-Safir is reported to have several dozen underground fortified bunkers where the launchers and the missiles are stored."

Hamas denies Kerry took letter for Obama: "A Hamas spokesman today denied his group gave Sen. John Kerry a letter for President Obama, while another Hamas official told WND a letter was sent, and a third claimed his Islamist group previously sent written communication to Obama.... Obama has repeatedly condemned Hamas as a terrorist organization that should be isolated until it renounces violence and recognizes Israel's right to exist. But that hasn't stopped Hamas from heaping praise on the American leader."

Australian Wildfires Could Fuel 'Forest Jihad' Terrorists: "...terrorism experts say the large death toll, the huge swath of destruction and the massive financial blow to the country are proving to Islamic terrorists that arson can be a highly effective — and simple — tool of holy war. In November, an extremist Web site called on Muslims to launch a 'forest jihad' in Australia, Europe, Russia and the United States....

     "'We've seen these kinds of appeals for action, be it setting fire to forests in Australia, to creating oil slicks on mountain roads in Europe, to poisoning water supplies and driving buses off bridges in the United States. The fact is that the Al Qaeda ideology is starting to branch out to more of an 'anyone, anywhere, anytime, anyhow' approach.'"

CIA warns Barack Obama that British terrorists are the biggest threat to the US: "They believe that a British-born Pakistani extremist entering the US under the visa waiver programme is the most likely source of another terrorist spectacular on American soil."

Al-Qaeda cell killed by Black Death 'was developing biological weapons': "...there are now claims the cell was developing the disease as a weapon to use against western cities. ...Ian Kearns, from the Institute for Public Policy Research, told the newspaper: 'The biological weapons threat is not going away. We're not ready for it.'"

'Peace partner' commends 'resistance' against Israel: "The U.S.-backed Fatah party of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas yesterday passed a resolution commending its members for purportedly fighting against Israel alongside Hamas in the Gaza Strip during the past three weeks."

Obama urges Israel to open Gaza borders: "Hamas must end its rocket fire: Israel will complete the withdrawal of its forces from Gaza: the US and our partners will support a credible anti-smuggling and interdiction regime, so that Hamas cannot re-arm...[Do you wonder why Obama shows such confidence in his power to succeed?]

Son of Hamas Leader Gives Glimpse Into Terror Organization: "Yousef, son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, one of the most influential leaders of the militant group, said the organization betrays the Palestinian cause and tortures its own members.... As a teenager he moved up within the organization and became the leader of the radical Islamic Youth Movement that fought Israeli tanks and troops in the streets, celebrated suicide bombings and recruited young men to the cause. Yousef, 30, said he realized the true nature of Hamas and radical Islam during a stint in an Israeli prison. He renounced his Muslim faith, left his family behind in Ramallah and converted to Christianity." See Victory in Christ

Video. Son of Hamas Leader speaks out on becoming a Christian: "I love my family, they love me.... I left everything behind me.... [Asked if he was afraid of being killed for his conversion, Mosab Hassan Yousef answered:] "They can kill my body, but they can't kill my soul." Read story HERE

Israel - Alone Again: "On September 11, 2001, the United States was attacked by nineteen terrorists who launched their attack as an act of religious obedience.... Even before we had a handle on the awful carnage, American outrage boiled over at the random nature of the attacks.... In 2002, the US invaded Afghanistan and toppled the Afghani government.... For the most part, the US action against Afghanistan was considered proper under the circumstances and therefore enjoyed widespread international support.....

     "Fast forward to the Israeli border with Gaza today, as the Israelis mass troops and tanks for a ground invasion of what had formerly been its most ungovernable protectorate. Israel withdrew unilaterally from Gaza in 2005, in effect, letting the world see what the Palestinians would do if they had a state handed to them. The Palestinians of Gaza promptly chose Hamas, an Islamic terrorist organization dedicated to the destruction of Israel, as their political representatives..."

 

Hamas slammed for 'monstrous' use of civilians: "Entire families in Gaza lived on top of a barrel of explosives for months without knowing.... Hamas sent civilians, including women and children, to transfer weapons to gunmen engaged in battles with Israeli forces, and he accused Hamas of booby-trapping many of the civilians' homes."

Note: Henry Kissinger's statements below suggest that even the current war between Gaza and Israel is beneficial, because it serves the globalist purpose of establishing the New World Order. After all, the greater the crisis -- the more readily the masses will accept the planned transformation!

Global Management. Kissinger: Obama primed to create 'New World Order': "'The president-elect is coming into office at a moment when there is upheaval in many parts of the world simultaneously,' Kissinger responded. 'You have India, Pakistan; you have the jihadist movement.... But he can give new impetus to American foreign policy partly because the reception of him is so extraordinary around the world. His task will be to develop an overall strategy for America in this period when, really, a new world order can be created. It's a great opportunity, it isn't just a crisis.'...

      "The phrase 'new world order' traces back at least as far as 1940, when author H.G. Wells used it as the title of a book about a socialist, unified, one-world government. The phrase has also been linked to American presidents, including Woodrow Wilson, whose work on establishing the League of Nations pioneered the concept of international government bodies, and to the first President Bush, who used it in a 1989 speech.

       "'A new partnership of nations has begun, and we stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment,' said Bush before a joint session of Congress. 'Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective – a new world order – can emerge: A new era … in which the nations of the world, east and west, north and south, can prosper and live in harmony.'...

       "Kissinger was also part of last year's super-secret Bilderberg Group, an organization of powerful international elites... Bilderberg meetings emphasize a globalist agenda and promote the idea that the notion of national sovereignty is antiquated and regressive.'" See The emerging New World Order

Moral Clarity in Gaza (by Charles Krauthammer): "Israel is so scrupulous about civilian life that, risking the element of surprise, it contacts enemy noncombatants in advance to warn them of approaching danger. Hamas, which started this conflict with unrelenting rocket and mortar attacks on unarmed Israelis -- 6,464 launched from Gaza in the past three years -- deliberately places its weapons in and near the homes of its own people.

      "This has two purposes. First, counting on the moral scrupulousness of Israel, Hamas figures civilian proximity might help protect at least part of its arsenal.

      "Second, knowing that Israelis have new precision weapons that may allow them to attack nonetheless, Hamas hopes that inevitable collateral damage -- or, if it is really fortunate, an errant Israeli bomb -- will kill large numbers of its own people for which, of course, the world will blame Israel. For Hamas, the only thing more prized than dead Jews are dead Palestinians. The religion of Jew-murder and self-martyrdom is ubiquitous. And deeply perverse, such as the Hamas TV children's program in which an adorable live-action Palestinian Mickey Mouse is beaten to death by an Israeli....

      "Israel gave similar warnings to Southern Lebanese villagers before attacking Hezbollah in the Lebanon war of 2006. The Israelis did this knowing it would lose for them the element of surprise and cost the lives of their own soldiers."

Israel offers Gaza aid corridor: "Israel's military will open up 'areas for limited periods of time, during which the population will be able to receive the aid.' ... Libya's representative has circulated a new draft resolution, on behalf of Arab nations, calling for an immediate ceasefire and an end to military operations and the firing of rockets. The draft also calls for the establishment of an international observer force to monitor the truce and for the opening of border crossings into the Gaza Strip. ... Earlier, at least 30 people were killed and 55 injured when Israeli artillery shells landed near a UN-run school in Gaza, UN officials said."

I am disturbed by the horrors of Gaza and the tragic killing of so many children caught between two deadly forces. Yet, I believe Mark Steyn's observations are worth reading. It's not easy to understand the dynamic forces that drive this ongoing conflict. [The excerpts have been archived here]

Islam & Israel. This video exposes some of the media misinformation: http://video.google.com/videoplay?

Mark Steyn: Gaza has its version of rocket scientists: "...when French President Sarkozy and other European critics bemoan Israel's 'disproportionate' response, what really are they saying? That they expect better from the despised Jews than from Hamas. That they regard Israel as a Western society bound by civilized norms, whereas any old barbarism issuing forth from Gaza is to be excused on grounds of 'desperation.' Hence, this slightly surreal headline from The New York Times: 'Israel Rejects Cease-Fire, But Offers Gaza Aid.'... Wafa Samir Ibrahim al-Biss, a young Palestinian woman who received considerate and exemplary treatment at an Israeli hospital in Beersheba, returned to that same hospital packed with explosives in order to blow herself up and kill the doctors and nurses who restored her to health....

      "What if it's about something more primal than land borders and economic aid? A couple of days after Hamas voted to restore crucifixion to the Holy Land, their patron in Tehran (and their primary source of 'aid') put in an appearance on British TV. As multicultural 'balance' to Her Majesty The Queen's traditional Christmas message, the TV network Channel 4 invited President Ahmadinejad to give an alternative Yuletide address on the grounds that it was a valuable public service to let viewers hear him 'speak for himself...' In fact... the great man 'speaks for himself' all the time – when he's at the United Nations, calling on all countries to submit to Islam; when he's presiding over his international conference of Holocaust deniers; when he's calling for Israel to be 'wiped off the map'...

      "...a statement such as 'England's demise is on our agenda' becomes almost literally untranslatable. When President Ahmadinejad threatens to wipe Israel off the face of the map, we deplore him as a genocidal fantasist. But maybe he's a genocidal realist, and we're the fantasists.... And not just in Gaza but elsewhere the trend is away from 'moderation' and toward something fiercer and ever more implacable.... Unlike its international critics in North America and Europe, Israel has no margin for error."
