The Coming of the Islamic State was Foretold 10 Years Ago. And No One Listened. ~ By Raymond Ibrahim

The Fourth Phase. Between 2010 and 2013, Hussein writes that Al Qaeda will aim to bring about the collapse of the hated Arabic governments. The estimate is that “the creeping loss of the regimes’ power will lead to a steady growth in strength within Al Qaeda.” At the same time attacks will be carried out against oil suppliers and the US economy will be targeted using cyber terrorism.

This is immensely prophetic. Recall that the timeline given (2010-2013) coincides remarkably well with the so-called “Arab Spring,” which culminated with Islamic terrorists and their allies taking over the leadership of several Arab countries formerly ruled by secularized autocrats: Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood (which plays Dr. Jekyll to Al Qaeda’s Mr. Hyde); Libya, Al Qaeda/Islamic jihadis; ongoing Syria, Al Qaeda/Islamic jihadis (or their latest manifestation, the Islamic State, Al Qaeda’s “second generation”), etc. It should be remembered that in each of these nations—Egypt, Libya, Syria—the Obama administration played a major role in empowering the jihadis, though in the name of “democracy.”

I can almost guarantee that one of your thoughts as you read this column will be: "Wait a minute, why doesn't President Obama know about this (he has never shown any indication that he understands what is going on), and do our intelligence officials tell the President about the information in this column?" You would think so! But, that is where some of us will come to disagreement.

While some of us are eager to just say that Obama is ignorant of what ISIS is doing, I don't see that as being plausible, even if it was Obama that originally said that ISIS was the "JV" of the Jihadist movement. Only complete incompetence by his intelligence and national security advisers could explain that, but that just doesn't seem to be possible. Any idiot that gets on the internet would know that ISIS is a threat to the Middle East. However, there is that thing about Obama not showing up for intelligence briefings, it isn't his thing...

The other possibility is that Obama actually WANTS an ISIS takeover of the Middle East. I know, that's brutal, but I've had a lot of people tell me that was their opinion, and many of those people gave very good evidence that lead them to this opinion. Obama's narrative about why he doesn't have a strategy YET is just getting old, and I am thinking that we are all really tired of that. How long has he had to determine that ISIS was a threat and to come up with a strategy to defeat and/or destroy ISIS? For over a year, ISIS has been conquering territories that so many of our soldiers had fought and died to win for a "free" Iraq. Now, it's all gone, and ISIS is now moving ever closer to Baghdad! Mosul, Fallujah, Tikrit, Ramadi... just to name several cities now under ISIS control.

If you have any doubts about what is going on with Obama's lack of strategy to defeat ISIS, please go to the related videos below. You may see and hear more information that may make you also wonder what is going on! Just sayin'...

From TheBLAZE.com

Although the birth of the Islamic State and the herald of the caliphate are often regarded as some of 2014’s “big shockers,” they were foretold in striking detail and with an accurate timeline by an Al Qaeda insider nearly one decade ago.

On August 12, 2005, Spiegel Online International published an article titled “The Future of Terrorism: What Al Qaeda Really Wants.” Written by Yassin Musharbash, the article was essentially a review of a book written by Fouad Hussein, a Jordanian journalist with close access to Al Qaeda and its affiliates, including the late Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who pioneered the videotaping of beheadings “to strike terror into the hearts” of infidels (Koran 3:151).

As Hussein explained in the introduction of his book “Al Zarqawi: Al Qaeda’s Second Generation”: “I interviewed a whole range of Al Qaeda members with different ideologies to get an idea of how the war between the terrorists and Washington would develop in the future.”

This photo was posted on a militant website on Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2014 showing masked militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) marching in Raqqa, Syria. (Photo via AP)

And in fact the book details the master plan of Al Qaeda — in its “second generation” manifestation known as the “Islamic State” which follows much of Zarqawi’s modus operandi — to resurrect a caliphate. This plan is sufficiently outlandish that Yassin Musharbash, the author of the Spiegel article reviewing Hussein’s book, repeatedly casts doubt on its feasibility. Thus Al Qaeda’s plan is “proof both of the terrorists’ blindness as well as their brutal single-mindedness”; there is “no way” Al Qaeda can follow the plan “step by step”; “the idea that Al Qaeda could set up a caliphate in the entire Islamic world is absurd”; and the following “scenario should be judged skeptically.”

Yet it is all the more remarkable that much of this plan — especially those phases dismissed as infeasible by Musharbash (four and five) — have come to pass.

In what follows, I reproduce the seven phases of Al Qaeda’s master plan as presented in Musharbash’s nearly 10-year-old article, (emphasis added in bold) with my commentary interspersed for context. Phases four and five are of particular importance as they describe the goals for recent times, much of which have come to fruition according to plan.

Missing Libyan Jetliners Raise Fears of Suicide Airliner Attacks on 9/11 ~ By Bill Gertz

Counterterrorism expert Sebastian Gorka said that if the theft is confirmed, the stolen aircraft could be used in at least two ways.

“The first would be how commercial airliners were used on Sept. 11, 2001, literally turning an innocent mode of mass transit into a super-high precision guided missile of immense potency,” said Gorka, who holds the Maj. Gen. Charles Horner chair at Marine Corps University in Quantico, Va.

“The second tactic could be to use the airframe with its civilian markings as a tool of deception to insert a full payload of armed terrorists into a locale that otherwise is always open to commercial carriers,” he said.

Michael Rubin, a counterterrorism specialist with the American Enterprise Institute, said commercial jetliners in the hands of terrorists could be formidable weapons.

“Who needs ballistic missiles when you have passenger planes? Even empty, but loaded up with fuel they can be as devastating,” Rubin said.

The video below, along with the description for it, will fill in for my commentary on this story:

The terrorists WILL have a strategy for our defenses!

Post by Johnny2k's America.

I do hope that you just watched that video, and read the description. On the upside, I'm sure our military have thought of a plan to deal with human shields on the jetliners being used as weapons. But, on the downside, I really hope that I didn't give terrorists any ideas that they had not thought of yet. Just sayin'...

Missing Libyan Jetliners Raise Fears of Suicide Airliner Attacks on 9/11
Egypt set for military intervention as Libya spirals toward failed state

By Bill Gertz

September 2, 2014 4:55 pm

From The Washington FreeBeacon.com

Islamist militias in Libya took control of nearly a dozen commercial jetliners last month, and western intelligence agencies recently issued a warning that the jets could be used in terrorist attacks across North Africa.

Intelligence reports of the stolen jetliners were distributed within the U.S. government over the past two weeks and included a warning that one or more of the aircraft could be used in an attack later this month on the date marking the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against New York and Washington, said U.S. officials familiar with the reports.

“There are a number of commercial airliners in Libya that are missing,” said one official. “We found out on September 11 what can happen with hijacked planes.”

WIFLI Briefing for Sep 23, 2012 - It's NOT just about the economy, stupid!

So, here we are, not too far from the most important election in our history.

In an election 32 years ago, there was a Republican that came on strong about the economy, but also, had a view of our foreign policy that resonated with the American people, which is what really won an election against the incumbent Democrat President, Jimmy Carter. Of course, that was Ronald Reagan. Yes, our economy did come around after the election of Reagan, but the economy was really not the issue that decided the race. It was about national security and our foreign policy. Yes, after a few years of Jimmy Carter, the economy was in shambles. But what really ended up making the difference for Reagan was Carter's foreign policy, and namely, the American hostages in Iran.

Until now, the Republican strategy had been to concentrate on the economy. And Mitt Romney was losing on that issue, being that he is so rich and unable to relate to the Middle Class, according to the Obama campaign. However, with all the things going on in the Middle East, the Romney campaign would be foolish not to capitalize on Obama's weakness - foreign policy - and right now is the time to do that.

Being the citizen journalist that I am, the rebel in the Breitbart Army, I'm going to show you some videos in this blog post that brought me to realize that it is not just about the economy.  We'll start with the following video, where we witness the absolute failure of Obama's foreign policy:

But it wasn't until I heard what Paul Ryan said in a campaign speech in Florida yesterday (Saturday, Sep 22, 2012) that I realized I wasn't alone in thinking that there needs to be more about issues other than the economy, especially with Obama winning in the Class Warfare battlefield.

The stories you will see below were right on the money at a very early stage after the attacks on our embassies in the Middle East. It is time for the Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, to emphasize the foreign policy issue. I'm just sayin'...

Welcome to this edition of Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing!

What is WIFLI?
You may be wondering what the acronym "WIFLI" means. I started out by calling these issues the Time 2 Escape Daily, but that didn't work out very well. I quickly learned that putting these issues together on a daily basis was a task I was unable to accomplish. To replace "Daily" in the title, I borrowed the acronym WIFLI, which literally means "When I Feel Like It." Putting together a post on this blog WIFLI works much better for my schedule, and for the higher quality of each issue that is eventually published!

It all started when the Obama administration tried to put the blame for the violence in Egypt and Libya on an obscure video.

Anti-Islam Filmmaker Donated Million Dollars To Obama Campaign
From Breitbart's Big Hollywood ~ By John Nolte ~ Published Sep 15, 2012

EXCERPT:

Blame the movie.

Blame the movie.

Blame the movie.

Even though "the movie" was on YouTube for months prior to the collective indignation of thousands of Middle Eastern Islamists all coming together on the eleventh anniversary of September 11th (through a wild coincidence, no doubt), we are being told by our government and our media overlords that we must blame the movie.

You see, if we blame the movie for the burning of our foreign outposts and the brutal murders of four Americans (including our Libyan ambassador who was reportedly raped), we won't blame the burners and the looters and the murderers and the rapists.

You see, if we blame the movie for the Middle East burning, we won't blame the Islamists who are doing the burning and looting and raping and murdering.

Which means we won't further connect the dots and blame Obama's failed Middle East policy; the Obama Doctrine of backing away from the region and allowing events to unfold as America stands idly by -- as the Islamists in the Muslim Brotherhood grab hold of power in Egypt, a country that was once our largest and closest ally.

Obama's foreign policy now in flames
Exclusive: Tom Tancredo tells prez the world isn't a 'fairyland of cosmic brotherhood'
From WND Commentary ~ By Tom Tancredo ~ Published Sep 14, 2012

EXCERPT:

TOM TANCREDO

The horrific events of Sept. 11, 2012, in Egypt and Benghazi were a logical and predictable result of appeasement policies that began with Obama’s 2009 speech in Cairo apologizing for America’s past insensitivities to the hopes and beliefs of the Muslim faith.

Obama chose last Tuesday, the 11th anniversary of the 2001 murder of over 3,000 Americans by a team of radical Islamists, to send a formal message to the world: “The U.S. will never be at war with Islam.” At that moment a crowd of over 2,000 Islamists were attacking the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, breaching its wall and burning the American flag.

What was the first response of the Obama government to this attack on our Cairo embassy and the failure of the Egyptian government to protect our sovereign soil? The embassy issued an apology for the actions of private individuals in the U.S. who put a film on YouTube that insults Islam and the Prophet Muhammad.

It took the Obama White House almost 12 hours to disavow that apology and over 24 hours for Obama to talk directly with Egyptian President Morsi to elicit an apology and a promise of increased protection for the embassy. However, the apologies continue: The White House has asked YouTube to review the controversial film to see if it meets its standards. Has the administration ever done this for any other privately produced 14-minute film?

North Korea Torpedo: SWAT Sent to Gulf Oil Rigs ...

Will covering this story make me a "Oil Rig Truther?" I think that a story that I just put up on this blog (US Orders Blackout Over North Korean Torpedoing Of Gulf Of Mexico Oil Rig, from the EU Times) MAY be bogus, but then let's see, is there any parallel to the "9/11 Truther" conspiracy theory? To some extent it is, but "plausibility" is the key word.

I did a google search on the story. No kidding, there were 189,000 results on the search. There is no shortage of people checking into it, blogging it, or spreading it. One of the blogs I found had the following youtube video:

Video provided by o0Levitikuz0o on April 30, 2010.

In the video, we find that the President actually does say, "Earlier today, DHS Secretary Napolitano announced that this incident is of national significance, and the Department of Interior has announced that they will be sending SWAT Teams to the Gulf to inspect all platforms and rigs."  No kidding, he really did say that at about :20 to :28 in the above video!  But, what he said right before that was that he'd use all available resources, including "potentially the Department of Defense to address the incident."  With that in mind, it makes the EU Times story just a little bit on the plausible side.  In fact, it makes it much more plausible than the evidence the 9/11 truthers provide that President Bush continued to read to the school kids in Florida after hearing the news of the WTC being attacked.  This time, it is in the President's own words! Think about that.

Now, let's look at several other factors to consider:  

• When Katrina blew through the Gulf of Mexico, were there any major leaks from oil platforms?

• Why did the platform sink?  Yes, it was burning up, but I thought steel did not melt from a fuel fire, especially under water!

• You don't really believe that somebody lit up a cigarette on the platform that started that fire.  No, really... Have you heard any one ever say what started the fire? We more or less only heard that the cause of the fire was still under investigation, right?

You must admit, those are really good points showing plausibility of the North Korean torpedo story.

Of course, in cases like this, there will be a multitude of conspiracy theories to explain the greatest environmental catastrophy of Biblical proportions. In other words, there could be something else rather than the EU Times story to explain the disaster. As o0Levitikuz0o that produced the video above mentions, The EU Times website is full of malware. I was wondering about that, as my computer quit responding constantly while trying to read the article and copy it over to my blog. (In fact, to see the story at EU Times, I advise you to either go to the public library and see it on one of their computers, or better yet, try it on your evil mother-in-law's PC!) But I digress. What I am saying is that the EU Times may have lost it's credibility completely for that reason, or.... the story was a plant to take our attention off what may have really happened. Let's explore a few of the many possibilities:

• Environmental terrorists (tree huggers) did it in order to convince the public that off shore drilling is a bad idea for the environment. Case closed...

• Al Gore had it done because he doesn't want that oil to be used to catastrophically heat the Earth.

• Our own military did it by accident when a torpedo went awry during target practice, just like what happened to Flight 800 that was taken down off the coast of Long Island in 1996. That would be very Clinton-esque for the Obama administration to cover their... you know, hind ends.

• Al Qaida did it, and the administration knows it, but doesn't want people to start blaming the Islamo-fascists for everything - like the downing of Flight 800 - again. The CIA planted the North Korean torpedo story at EU Times, of course. (Quick, somebody call Jack Cashill and alert him to this possibility!)

• An oil rig worker was having a nicotine fit, and ignored the no smoking policy aboard the oil rig. BP and other oil rig operators will now need to do nicotine tests on any potential oil rig workers per new OSHA regulations.

Now, I know some of what I wrote on this was meant to be humorous. I apologize, being that this situation in the Gulf and potentially the entire East Coast is extremely serious. I think it was my satiric way of stating that stories like the North Korean torpedo/suicide attack will undoubtedly stir up all kinds of debate and probably continue on for a long time, just like Roswell (NM, 1947), the Kennedy assassination, or 9/11. And I am sure that guys like Alex Jones or Joseph Farah will find a way to cash in on inflaming the conspiracy world. (Note to Joseph Farah: I'm only kidding, that was a parody of what your detractors would say. You know I love ya, man!)  That was the parallel to 9/11 that I alluded to earlier.

Because the internet can be used by people that do not have good intentions, and that it can be so VERY difficult to actually verify just about any information, seriously, be alert and vigilant; don't believe everything you read on the World Wide Web. Just sayin'...

CIA bomber wanted body used as 'fertilizer' for jihadists

Proof we are still in a war, from WorldNetDaily

'Oh God, I beseech Thee that I would massacre Your enemies' By Bob Unruh Posted: January 08, 2010 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2010 WorldNetDaily A jihadi website posted a posthumous statement from the attacker who blew up himself and seven CIA employees in Afghanistan in which the man frets about not being a "martyr" and having to face judgment for his sins. "I'm afraid of shameful exposure in the courts of the day of resurrection if I'm not killed by the weapon of my enemy. I'm afraid to be branded as a liar, and that my words will be the evidence for my conviction. Whenever I hear of someone who died I die, and with every illness about which I hear – I become ill," said the statement from Abu Dajana Al-Khorasani. The statement was captured from the jihadi forum site by the Middle East Media Research Institute, which has included it in a report on its subscription Jihad & Terrorism Threat Monitor report. The article, "When Will My Words Drink My Blood? – I Am Now Fit For Publication," apparently was written shortly before the bomber took on his suicide mission. It is attributed to Al-Khorasani, a pen name used by Hammam Khalil al-Balawi to post jihad writings. READ FULL STORY >

Merry Christmas - Terror Alert - 12/25/09 ~ By Nicholas Contompasis

From the blog, The Left - Watch What They Do, Not What They Say!

By Nicholas Contompasis Friday, December 25, 2009 Today, Al Qaeda, from Yemen authorized an attack on America by attempting to blow up a US air carrier. A 23 year old Abdul Mutallab also known as Umar Farouk Abdulmutalib was apprehended by a passenger while he was attempting to ignite a liquid explosive. He is now with U.S. authorities being questioned. The White House finally has admitted that this is a terrorist attack. Of course this can’t be, since we no longer have a war on terror and any actions such as today’s is called something more mundane. This seems to be a retaliatory strike against America, after last week’s attacks on Al Qaeda training camps in Yemen killing dozens of terrorists. I feel that this is just the beginning of many smaller attacks against American interests. It is general knowledge that there are thousands of Muslim terrorists out there that will sacrifice their lives for this distorted religion. This person was on a terror watch list but did get through by boarding at a foreign airport destine for Detroit. READ FULL STORY >

Al-Qaida could attack from within U.S.

From WorldNetDaily

Alarm grows as recruiting rises, operatives smuggled in Posted: October 09, 2009 ~ 12:00 am Eastern By Michael Carl © 2009 WorldNetDaily The next al-Qaida attack on the United States could come from within, with recruiting for jihadists on the rise and the terror organization continuing to smuggle operatives across international borders, experts confirm. The recent arrests of terror suspects in Denver, where Najibullah Zazi is suspected of trying to orchestrate an attack on New York City, reveals just how imminent is the danger. In another new case, Hosam Smadi was arrested for allegedly trying to blow up a Dallas skyscraper. Authorities allege he planted a bomb and tried to ignite it, but there was no damage because the device was faked by undercover FBI agents posing as members of an al-Qaida sleeper cell. Terror analyst and scholar Brigitte Gabriel reports that al-Qaida and the Muslim Brotherhood actively are recruiting operatives in the United States and Canada. [CLICK HERE TO READ MORE]

Source: Colo. Man in Suspected NYC Subway Plot Admits Ties to Al Qaeda

From FoxNews.com

Friday, September 18, 2009 The Colorado man under FBI investigation into an alleged New York subway terror plot has admitted he has ties to Al Qaeda and is in negotiations to plead guilty to a terror charge, a source at the Department of Justice told FOX News. The source said 24-year-old Najibullah Zazi, who until now had protested that he had no connection to Al Qaeda, changed his story Friday. Zazi reportedly told officials that he had received explosives training and may plead guilty as part of a deal to cooperate with the government. A senior intelligence official in Washington told The Associated Press that Zazi has indicated that he is directly linked with Al Qaeda. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss intelligence matters, said Zazi played a crucial role in an intended terrorist attack but that it was not immediately clear what the targets were. The official went on to say that the plot was being directed from outside the United States. Zazi had submitted to two eight-hour interrogations, Wednesday and Thursday, at the FBI offices in Denver, and he was called back for further questioning Friday. [CLICK HERE TO READ MORE]
