Boots on the ground? Yes, on U.S. border ~ By Diana West

Diana West
Diana West warns against 'another pointless war in the Middle East'

While Diana made some good points in this column, I'm not sure I can totally buy into her overall strategy. But yes, there is a part that I absolutely agree with Diana on:
Any American “boots on the ground” in response should be on the U.S. border. If, God forbid, a soldier is killed there, at least he died for his country.

The fact is, the first line of defense in this war is our border – all of our borders, from the nation-states of Europe, struggling to break free from the socialism- and diversity-enforcing EU behemoth, to these United States of America, struggling to break from the socialism- and diversity-enforcing White House behemoth. These borders – these sovereign states – are all (an exception is Hungary) undefended by governments in thrall to global imperatives, not responsibility for their own citizens or their own laws. It is first and foremost at these borders that the main mechanism of societal destruction is being activated by massive, lawless population shifts from the Third World, the Islamic world.
The truth is, the last line of our defense won't be at the borders, as non-vetted refugees from Syria, supposedly, come into this country, thanks to the non-vetted Commander-in-chief. It will be us, the citizens, those that value the Second Amendment and own firearms. We also need to vastly decrease the number of soft targets that could be attacked by eliminating "gun-free zones."

But it isn't just a matter of boots-on-the-ground when it comes to defending this country from attacks. The reluctance to use ground troops in pushing back ISIS is somewhat justified, but the downsizing of the U.S. Military is not. The drastic cuts to our military strength has emboldened our enemies. The Liberals/Progressives in America that think and say our continued security in America is dependent on reversing global warming are lying to you, while in the meantime, radical Islamist terrorists are attacking our allies, and they're coming for us. Just sayin'...

Boots and the ground? Yes, on U.S. border

Fourteen years after 9/11, the civilized world has finally become unified, working as one in response to global jihad by … lighting up landmarks in the colors of the latest victim-state. This is not an effective response. Nor are public displays of grief, including candles, teddy bears and flowers. Nor is embarking on another pointless war…

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'...

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

Jun. 8, 2015 10:00am

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.

VIDEO: The one time the Dhimmicrats shouldn't say, "it was Bush's fault"

The segment that you are about to see made big news this week. On The Kelly File on Fox News, Megyn Kelly gave us a flashback of George W. Bush's very frighteningly accurate warning in 2007 about what would happen in Iraq if the U.S. left too soon. You can see the clip from W's speech in 2007 at 2:00 in the video below.



I hate to disappoint you all, but the Dhimmicrats will still try argue that it was Bush's fault. They quickly said in comments I've read where I posted this video that Bush shouldn't have taken us into Iraq in the first place. That's going to be a problem for them, though. What are they going to say when Obama has to take us back into war in Iraq? Oh, I forgot. It will be Bush's fault. It never gets old, for Democrats, does it? Just sayin'...

Search Launched for Mission Beach Panga Passengers ~ By R. Stickney and Greg Bledsoe

Phoenix resident Miranda Fuller said she could not believe what she was seeing from the balcony of her vacation home.

Picture taken by Miranda Fuller

"I was in shock I think, and so were the couple people out here. They were just standing there pointing. Nobody knew what to do. What should we do to help," Fuller said.

Mission Beach resident Bill Wu caught the group on a surveillance camera mounted on his home. He recorded the group running up the beach and then across the boardwalk and into an alley.

"I guess there was somebody on the inside here that was supplying them with clothing and they went down to Mission Boulevard and changed clothes," Wu said.

I just happened to see the Fox & Friends segment that you will see just below. While the hosts and the guest were assuming that the 20 people that jumped out of the panga boat were illegal immigrants from "South of the border," I was having a different thought, which I'll tell you after you watch this video.




My first thought? All dressed in black, I was thinking, "those are ISIS terrorists!" Whether I'm right or wrong, it doesn't matter. You know that somebody at the Islamic State headquarters is thinking how easy it would be to infiltrate the United States. Or, perhaps, that has already happened.

Seven of those that got off the boat had been caught. What about the other dozen or more? Since this story first appeared, I have not been able to find any followup stories saying that those that escaped that day had ever been nabbed. If they were illegal immigrants from South of our border, who's to say that they aren't working for the terrorist outfit ISIS?

We already know that along the border with Mexico, many more illegals are coming in that don't get caught. Tunnels are constantly being found in some areas. There are so many ways that terrorists could get into the country, and let's not forget our Northern border, I am sure that there are already terrorist cells set up all across this country.

But, "it's all good," they say, "we haven't been attacked." Shouldn't the word "yet" be added to that claim? This is especially disturbing being that Sept. 11 is just days away. This is why it is extremely important to pay attention to what is happening around us right now. Obviously, at least somebody involved in this news story got in touch with the local authorities. But when you see something, say something to law enforcement agencies, such as in these instructions below:
"If you see something suspicious, either contact your local law enforcement, or the FBI at (855) TELL-FBI or (855) 835-5324."
Well, if the ISIS terrorists are NOT here yet, I am sure that their leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is taking notes. "Land on American shores, broad daylight, media coverage, FBI not called in. Border Patrol, already spread thin, handles call. 13 get away..."

So, you tell me: Are our borders and shorelines secure? Is ISIS going to sit back and not take advantage of an opportunity to infiltrate America and do some serious damage? I doubt it! Just sayin'...

Search Launched for Mission Beach Panga Passengers
By R. Stickney and Greg Bledsoe

Monday, Aug 25, 2014 • Updated at 5:29 PM PDT

From NBCSanDiego.com


Seven suspected undocumented immigrants were taken into custody after a panga boat arrived at Mission Beach on Monday morning, as NBC 7's Bridget Naso reports.

Law enforcement officers are looking for more than a dozen people believed to have come ashore in a panga that landed on Mission Beach Monday.

U.S. Border Patrol officials were on the sand right where West Mission Bay Drive ends and Ventura Place intersects with Strand Way.

The bright red panga was spotted about 6:45 a.m.

Lifeguards reported that about 20 people scattered. They believe there were 18 males and two females who ran into the neighborhood of Mission Beach.

Witnesses say about the group of people got out of the boat and ran towards shore, jumped the sea wall into the boardwalk and took off down an alley.

John Bolton: US Must Destroy Islamic State ~ By Todd Beamon

In his op-ed, Bolton slammed Obama's "belated, narrow authorization" for targeted airstrikes earlier this month — saying that they do not "constitute a coherent response, let alone a comprehensive one.

"The president seems curiously inactive, even as American influence in the region collapses and, not coincidentally, his political approval ratings suffer," Bolton added. "From the outset of the Islamic State's campaign, his policies have been haphazard and confused, especially the halting, timid decision to intervene militarily.

"And, based on his record as president, there is no reason to believe a strategic vision of the Middle East's future will ultimately emerge from his administration."
"The president seems curiously inactive"? As things progress, I can only agree with John Bolton, there seems to be a lack of strategic thought going into one of the greatest threats to our national security we have faced. And that is before we even mention Putin invading Eastern Ukraine. But, I don't think it is that he is "curiously inactive." I am inclined to believe that Obama is purposefully inactive and ineffective. Ladies and Gentleman, my patriot friends, Barack Hussein Obama is our Manchurian President. I pray that those with some authority in our military and Congress follow their oath to protect and preserve our Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Just sayin'...

John Bolton: US Must Destroy Islamic State
By Todd Beamon

Thursday, 21 Aug 2014 04:48 PM

From NewsMaxWorld.com

The United States must "destroy the Islamic State" (ISIS) in Iraq and must "prevent a new terrorist state from emerging in the Middle East," former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton said Thursday.

"It is simply not enough to block the group's threat to the Kurds or other vulnerable minorities in the region," Bolton, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, said in an op-ed piece in National Review. "The risks of even a relatively small 'state' … are chilling.

"Leaving the Islamic State in place and in control only of its current turf in Iraq and Syria … would make it viable economically and a fearsome refuge for terrorists of all sorts," he added. "Just as Afghanistan's Taliban gave al-Qaida a base of operations to launch terrorist attacks culminating in 9/11, a similar result could follow if the Islamic State successfully erased and then redrew existing boundaries."
