Fifteen Years After 9-11, The Free West Has Lost, and Islam Knows It.

Darker, much darker days are coming.

Embracing a lie, embracing bigger lies, refusing to see a beast for what it is,  and then willfully and deliberately twisting the reality unfolding before their eyes while clinging to the Left’s insistent declarations about Islam has consigned our civilization to death.

The West’s Cognitive Dissonance and fatal Case of Normalcy Bias regarding Islam was a suicide pact.  If you did not see this video in the previous blog entry from yesterday – watch it now and understand the point being made with this blog entry:

 

The essay below by Robert Spencer encapsulates vital truths that the video shows you in vivid detail.  We have committed suicide as a civilization and consigned our posterity to a horror of an existence.  All because we listened to Leftists who share an unholy Alliance with Islam for the sake of bulldozing everything they hate so they can build a utopia in our wake.

On this day, December 7, 1956

BY ROBERT SPENCER

This war has gone on for a very long time, and today, in all the reminiscences, and eulogies, and encomia, and lamentations, virtually no one has explained why, for the simple reason that essentially no one among the political and media elites knows why. Yet even the most dire estimates of exactly how long this is going to take have fallen wide of the mark. General Petraeus said in 2010 that it could take another ten years to defeat the Afghan “insurgency.” Do you think the Taliban is likely to be disbanded and Afghan a stable, functioning republic in 2020? In 2007, Britain’s security chief, Admiral Lord Alan West, said it could take 30 years to defeat terrorism in the United Kingdom. Do you think that in 2037, Britain will be peaceful and free of jihad terrorists?

The very idea is preposterous, and it is preposterous for the same reason that here we are 15 years after the September 11, 2001 jihad attacks, and no one know why this strange war has lasted so long. West said in that 2007 interview that to defeat terrorism, “I now realise that we are talking about a generation — and by that I would say 30 years. That doesn’t mean necessarily that we are going to stay at a severe level of threat for all those years. But to be able to say one has absolutely changed the mind-set and thought of people IS going to take a generation.” Yet in reality, nothing, nothing whatsoever, is being done in Britain or anywhere else to change “the mind-set and thought of people.”

And that is precisely why, fifteen years now after 9/11, the West is weaker and more vulnerable than ever: the entire Western intelligentsia, the totality of our political and media elites, steadfastly refuses to acknowledge exactly what the “mind-set and thought” of the terrorists really is, and where it comes from. And because of that refusal, policies that don’t deal with the actual problem keep being applied and re-applied, at the cost of thousands of American lives, billions of American dollars, and nothing to show for all this expenditure but a sharp and continuing loss of American power and prestige. The jihadis who struck the U.S. on September 11, 2001 have made such immense advances since then not because they are strong, or clever, or capable, but because we are weak, short-sighted, and resolute not in fighting them but in maintaining our denial about who they are and what they want, to the extent that we have taken numerous steps not to stop them, but actually to enable them to achieve their goals — the billions to the Islamic Republic of Iran and the massive Muslim migrant influx being just two of the most recent examples.

And today, instead of stories about the jihad threat and how it can be defeated or at least contained, the media is full of articles that would give an uninformed observer the impression that 3,000 Muslims were killed in the 9/11 attacks: the media preoccupation today is almost entirely with Muslims as victims. “Muslim Americans still struggle with hate crimes, 15 years after 9/11,” claims AOL. “For many Muslims, especially those born after Sept. 11, Islamophobia seems to be a fact of life,” laments the Huffington Post. The Washington Post has a piece by Rep. Keith Ellison: “I’m the first Muslim in Congress. I believe America can beat Islamophobia. Fifteen years after 9/11, American Muslims have seen both progress and peril.”

Coming after Fort Hood, and Boston, and Garland, and Chattanooga, and San Bernardino, and Orlando, as well as Paris, Brussels, Nice, and so very many others, this myopia is ludicrous to the point of being grotesque. And it is one key reason why this war drags on, fifteen years after 9/11: millions passively and unthinkingly accept the dogma that to speak honestly and accurately about the jihadis’ motives and goals is to descend in “racism” and “bigotry,” and to endanger innocent Muslims. And so fifteen years after 9/11, it is still almost unheard-of for there to be an honest discussion of jihadi motives and goals in the mainstream.

Fifteen years after 9/11, the free West is dug in: wholeheartedly committed to denial, willful ignorance, and policies that are self-defeating to the point of suicidal. In light of that, the wonder is not that this war has lasted so long, but that we have held out so long. Unless the political landscape changes considerably and this denial is decisively rejected and discarded, darker, much darker, days are coming

They Were Just Getting Started

On 9-11-01

And They are not slowing down.

An Islamic Caliphate successfully invaded Europe as refugees and welfare recipients, while Obama celebrated importing the 10,000th Syrian “refugee” into the US a few weeks ago.

So our fate will look just like this in the very, very near future.

 

America has willfully ignored the truth shown them on 9-11.   And just like Europe – has embraced national suicide as their own government facilitates an invasion of a Caliphate bent on conquering the world for their religion.

Obama Insists “ISIS Contained”, “Not Growing” Hours Before Jihad Attack In Paris

Horrifying slaughter in coordinated Beslan-style attacks in Paris happen just hours after Obama insists ISIS is contained.

The Trojan Horse In The White House has been shown to be either insanely ignorant or DELIBERATELY DECEPTIVE.  The very day he declares the Islamic State ‘contained’ and ‘not growing’ due to the drone killing of Jihadi John, ISIS Jihadists in Paris engage in a Mumbai/Beslan-styled slaughter on civilians in a theater, restaurants, stadiums and elsewhere.

Of course Obama also declared this week CLIMATE CHANGE to be the greatest threat on the planet.

CLIMATE CHANGE!  NOT ISIS – NOT JIHADISTS – CLIMATE CHANGE!

Ask a Parisian about that right now and see what they have to say.

President Barack Obama told ABC that ISIS is not gaining strength and that “we have contained them.”

In an interview aired Friday on “Good Morning America,” George Stephanopolous told Obama that “even your friendly critics … say what you have on the ground is not going to enough. Every couple months you will be faced with the same choice, back down or double down.”

AFTER the Jihad attacks in Paris, the Trojan Horse in the White House again runs cover for his allies:

Obama: “I Don’t Want To Speculate” Who Is Behind Paris Attack

Yet it was logically obvious who it was and our speculations have proven correct when ONE of the Jihadists in Paris that was apprehended said “he was from ISIS”.

As this was about to go down in Paris – the Democrats were signaling that they were going to support Obama unilaterally close Guantanamo Bay and bring the Jihadist prisoners here to the US to be placed in our prison systems with access to our court systems on taxpayer dime.

YESTERDAY Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, said that while the Obama administration was continuing to examine responses to a refugee crisis that has overwhelmed Europe in recent days, the president has decided to raise the number of Syrian refugees admitted to at least 10,000 in the fiscal year beginning in October from fewer than 2,000 this year.

TODAY – “The Obama administration is moving to increase and accelerate the number of Syrian refugees who might be admitted into the United States by opening new screening outposts in Iraq and Lebanon, administration officials told Reuters on Friday. The move comes after President Barack Obama pledged in September to admit an additional 10,000 Syrian refugees in 2016, torn by four years of civil war and disorder.”

Today – Right Before Paris Attacks – The First load of 10,000 Syrian “Refugees” Arrived in New Orleans – All Single Males 18-30 Years Old…

What happened in France, is just a matter of time before it happens here.  Obama is IMPORTING THEM.  Perhaps his own personal army for when he needs to ‘stand with the Muslims should the political winds bode ill”.

So Jihadists slaughtered over 100 people in the Bataclan theater alone this night.  Attacks still ongoing as of this writing.  And Fox news radio says Obama just announced he was CANCELING his big speech that announced the closure of GITMO.  I expect he will just postpone that action and do it quietly next month as a Christmas gift for his Jihadist allies.

Obama is perfectly aware that the FBI itself is investigating 1000 separate ACTIVE ISIS groups, individuals and cells INSIDE THE UNITED STATES.

It’s only a matter of time before what we saw in France happens here on a much larger scale.  We have an open border and they are ALREADY HERE.

Europe on the other hand – is likely toast.

Europe may have already sealed it’s fate with it’s open borders for millions of military aged-men from “Syria” as “refugees”.  They opened their borders and just let the Caliphate’s army just walked on in.  This is just the consequences of that stupid and moronic policy.

Before we have this same type of Islamic attack happen here, we best be getting serious with the fact that even though we do not have the guts to declare war on Jihadist Islam, Islam has certainly declared war on us.

CLOSE THE EFFING BORDERS NOW!  DEPORT ALL NON-CITIZENS NOW!! Before we suffer the same thing here.

The Genocidal Treason Of Barack Hussein Obama

The intent and legacy of America’s first defacto Muslim-Marxist dictator will be the deaths of millions orchestrated by his agenda.

Daniel Greenfield posts as blatantly an honest and truthful examination of the fruits of what Obama has set in motion as anything else I have read of late.

Where I differ with his analysis, is that Obama is not committing treason to satisfy some perverted idea that Iran will be rational with nuclear weapons.   Obama is committing treason in order set the stage for America’s “punishment”.  The Obamanation intends to make the USA desolate and then subjugated or destroyed.  He doesn’t care which.  Subjugated to Islam, subjugated to Mexico …or just plain obliterated, makes no difference so long as it’s white religious and Conservative inhabitants are exterminated in order for global authoritarianism to flourish.   Obama is all about the task of destroying and pulverizing into dust, the existing nation of America.  Whether or not the country is remade into a socialist paradise or a mass grave – makes no difference to the Pen and Phone dictator.  Fundamental transformation meant destroying what America was, in total.  Telling the nation that he has “laid a new foundation” was treason, when We The People did not authorize the nation to lay a ‘new foundation’ in despotic Socialism.

He thinks himself a god-king, and such mindsets of despotic leaders with utopianist visions have led to the greatest genocidal slaughters in history.  Yet America slumbers, thinking Obama and his agenda is just another election cycle, having no clue what has been done to them all, nor a care in the world about what is about to happen to the entire country.

And it is not only here in the USA that Obama will have the blood of millions on his hands.  He already has them soaked in the blood of tens of thousands of Libyans, Egyptians, Iraqi Christians and coalition partners in Iraq, and the genocide taking place in Syria.  Obama got the Jihadist Arab Spring upheaval started by making it policy to overthrow every single secular dictator in the Middle East and replacing them with Islamists hell-bent on establishing a Caliphate.  He and Hillary were running heavy weapons out of the Benghazi Consulate to what has become ISIS, aiding their rise and slaughter across the Levant and the MidEast. While Obama flies in tens of THOUSANDS of fighting-age Islamic men claiming to be Syrian “refugees”, Obama has rejected Yazidi and MIddle Eastern Christians who are on the verge of extermination, and is DEPORTING Iraqi Christians who are already in the United States BACK to ISIS in Iraq.

Obama has not only betrayed America – he has betrayed the entire Western civilization to it’s coming ruin and annihilation.  No wonder the Death Cult of Iranian Jihadists see Obama as the fulfillment of a 17th Century Hadith – the tall black man from the West who will bring the world to it’s knees for the coming Mahdi and the establishment of a global Islamic Caliphate.

OBAMA’S GENOCIDAL TREASON

Obama’s final legacy may be the death of millions of Americans.

By Daniel Greenfield.

No government has the blood of more American soldiers on its hands today than the government of Iran. From Lebanon to Afghanistan to Saudi Arabia to Iraq, Iran has been killing American soldiers for decades.

241 in Beirut. 19 at the Khobar Towers. Over 500 in Iraq and Afghanistan. The last time the United States officially fought Iran was under Reagan. But Iran has never stopped killing Americans. There is no reason to believe that it will stop once it has the nuclear weapons that Obama is helping its leaders obtain.

The last time left-wing radicals aided the nuclear program of an open enemy of the United States, they were put on trial for it. The sentencing judge at the time said that because “the nature of Russian terrorism is now self-evident” there was no further room for claims that no harm had been done.

“I believe your conduct in putting into the hands of the Russians the A-bomb years before our best scientists predicted Russia would perfect the bomb has already caused, in my opinion, the Communist aggression in Korea, with the resultant casualties exceeding 50,000 and who knows but that millions more of innocent people may pay the price of your treason. Indeed, by your betrayal you undoubtedly have altered the course of history to the disadvantage of our country,” Judge Kaufman stated.

These words of the Rosenberg verdict apply equally well to Obama’s betrayal on Iran. What the Rosenbergs did for Stalin, Obama did for the Ayatollah Khamenei.

Obama’s dirty nuclear deal with Iran has already sped along Iran’s aggression across the region. The more concessions Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry made, the more aggressive Iran became. It’s now involved in wars across the region that have already dragged the United States into its reach.

If Iran is allowed to go nuclear, these wars will become much worse and much more devastating.

This isn’t just Chamberlain. It’s Vidkun Quisling and Philippe Pétain. It’s not bad judgment. It’s treason. Obama has not merely appeased Iran out of fear; he sympathizes with its anti-American grievances. As he told his negotiators, Iran’s rulers feel “vulnerable” because of how America “meddled” in “their democracy” and that its anti-Americanism is a “defensive” reaction to “avoid repeats of the past.”

Obama identifies with the anti-American resentments of Muslim terrorists instead of the suffering of their victims. His foreign policy has been based on empowering the enemies of the United States to turn their grievances into a “defense” against American influence and intervention. He has done it from Cuba to Iran, backing Communist and Muslim Brotherhood tyrants. But his Iranian deal is his bloodiest crime.

The nuclear deal will empower Iran to act out its resentments by killing millions.

The nuclear bomb isn’t just a weapon. It’s an instrument of genocide. It’s an existential threat to our civilization and our way of life. The spies who helped the USSR go nuclear weren’t just passing along information about a weapon; they transformed a military conflict into a permanent global crisis in which the very fate of humanity rested on the greed and power of brutal aging ideologues in Moscow.

By clearing Iran’s path to the bomb, Obama has transformed the slow conflicts of conventional terrorism into a catastrophic civilizational crisis. An Iranian nuclear bomb will not sneak up on us the way that the demographic crisis of Muslim migration and its accompanying terrorism have. It will not be an incremental problem. A nuclear arms race between Sunnis and Shiites in which terrorists on both sides wield nuclear weapons will make the entire structure of Western civilization unsustainable.

9/11 saw a few jets used to devastate a city. The next wave of weapons will kill millions, not thousands.

The traitors who turned the USSR into a power capable of destroying the world were motivated by the same hidden agenda as the proponents of the Iran nuclear deal. They believed that an American nuclear monopoly would lead to arrogance and warmongering. They were convinced that American power had to be checked by seeing to it that the Soviet Union could match Uncle Sam, nuke for nuke.

Those who have opened the nuclear gates to Tehran today believe that a nuclear Iran will be a deterrent against American imperialism in the region. Their number includes Barack Obama.

After having failed with the Muslim Brotherhood, Obama intends to make Iranian power into a deterrent against future military interventions by a Republican successor. If he can get “Tehran Joe” Biden, a notorious sympathizer of the Iran Lobby, to watch the store while Iran goes nuclear, Iran will dominate the region the way that the Soviet Union dominated Eastern Europe.

Obama’s terrorist treason gambles that Iran will be, “rational”, that its leaders will be Khrushchevs, willing to press where they sense weakness, rather than Stalins, who are willing to kill millions for power. Leftist appeasers of Iran, in and out of the administration, obsessively cling to the belief that the Islamic regime in Iran is rational because it allows them to evade the responsibility if the world burns.

They rationalize their treason by insisting that Iran’s leaders and fevered mobs don’t really mean it when they shriek, “Death to America”. If Iran’s leader did mean it, the Senate Democrats toeing the mad party line, the media leftists chattering White House talking points, the intellectuals who recall meeting Iranian diplomats at cocktail parties, and their leader, Obama, would all be accessories to genocide.

Obama’s Iran pathway rationalized treason at every step, made every compromise seem inevitable and reasonable, minimized the final catastrophic betrayal by presenting his version of a nuclear Iran as the only possible alternative to a nuclear Iran. Like Benedict Arnold, he had whittled away all other options except defeat or treason so as to make the latter seem like the sensible and even the patriotic option.

Stalin’s nuclear traitors used the same logic, negotiating each betrayal as the only alternative to war, only to inflict the Cold War and the terror of nuclear annihilation on entire generations. After having spent so long denouncing the Cold War they had caused with their diplomatic, political and even military support for Stalin’s ambitions, they have finally arranged to bring back the Cold War.

And if it all goes wrong, the blame is meant to fall on the “right-wing warmongers” who alienated Iran, just as their predecessors had done to the USSR, not the leftist sympathizers who had endowed the enemies of civilization with the power to destroy civilization.

Obama has betrayed America. He has betrayed the American victims of Iranian terror. He has betrayed the American soldiers who were murdered, maimed and tortured by Iran’s terrorist armies. He has betrayed hundreds of millions of Americans in the homeland who will be forced to raise their children under the shadow of Iran’s nuclear terror.

His nuclear treason isn’t just a betrayal of America. For the first time since the end of the Cold War, it makes the mass murder of millions of Americans by a vicious enemy possible once again.

Obama has impoverished millions of Americans, he has the blood of soldiers and police officers on his hands, but his final legacy may be collaboration in an act of mass murder that would rival Adolf Hitler.

A Nuclear 9-11 Is Now Assured

Thanks to the traitors in the Obama Regime, the Democrat Party and the GOP Leadership under Mitch McConnell – on the eve of the 9-11 Anniversary, America surrenders to Islamists and secures Nukes for Iran

Need I say more?  McConnell orchestrated an Obama/Jihadist victory in what he SHOULD HAVE DEEMED A TREATY – but REFUSED to do so and fast-tracked Obama’s dictatorial “Executive agreement” a WEEK AHEAD OF SCHEDULE to ensure the Harry-Reid promised filibuster would kill any vote to ‘disapprove’ of Obama’s treason to the Iranian Ayatollah.

As usual, McConnell played wheeler-dealer and refused to abide by his oath to the Constitution and went right along with the usurpation of the Treaty Claus that will enact Obama’s plan to fund and green-light a path for Iran’s nuclear program that their leaders have said WILL BE USED against “The Great and Little Satan” (America and Israel).

McConnell and the Senate HAD NO AUTHORITY to surrender the Treaty Clause of the Constitution and rewrite the rules to allow what took place today – the very eve of the anniversary of 9-11.  He played to Obama’s wishes like a good little puppet.

Coincidence?

Only if you think like an ignorant imbecile that is totally clueless of what is going on, and/or you get all your news from the mainstream media.

Mark this date: 9-10-15, for it will be the date that Mitch McConnell, the GOP leadership enabled traitors in Washington D.C. to sow the seeds of our own annihilation, and the blood of millions will be on their hands and heads.

My prayer is that enough of the remnant will remember who was responsible for what horrors are to come, so that these treasonous bastards will be held swiftly to account.

Benghazi YouTube Patsy: An Agent Provocateur From Obama’s Justice Department

He was NEVER a Coptic Christian, rather the producer of the anti-Muhammad video the Obama administration blamed for the Benghazi attacks, is actually an agent of Eric Holder’s Justice Department.

Anyone remember the intent behind the Fast & Furious Gunwalker scandal?  That was where Obama and Eric Holder ‘walked’ guns into the hands of Mexican drug lords in the hopes they would incite deaths that would galvanize the American public into accepting draconian infringements on the Second Amendment given the damage American guns were said to have caused?

Now imagine that same methodology being used by ‘walking’ that anti-Muhammed  Youtube video as the ‘patsy’ for the Benghazi attack which was a cover to eliminate the evidence of Obama running heavy weapons to Al Qaeda Rebels in Syria.  The SAME Al Qaeda Jihadists who now have conquered much of Northern Iraq.  The video would serve as a pretext for the ‘need’ for Obama to restrict and regulate internet content given the ‘damage’ it was said to have caused.

It’s a connect-the-dots kind of week as it refers to Obama’s aid and comfort to the Jihadist terrorists in the world for the purpose of dismantling things at home.

In one day – news breaks in the blog from yesterday that the LEADER of the Jihadist group ISIS – WAS SET FREE FROM US CUSTODY in 2009 by Obama.  At nearly the same time, news breaks that Obama is “quietly” releasing Jihadist prisoners in Afghanistan.  This of course follows Obama releasing FIVE Taliban Generals for ONE slime ball deserter/traitor of the US Army; Bowe Bergdahl.

See a pattern there?

NEFARIOUS can hardly define what is taking place.

At the same time all that news was breaking, Walid Shoebat – a former Jihadist himself – unloaded a trove of evidence both revealed and circumstantial that Filmmaker Yousef/Nakoula not only admitted being Muslim, but was working for the Obama Justice Department.  The entire anti-Islamic video was crafted to be a pasty – as a Provocateur for both covering up for the Benghazi operation – and giving the Obama regime an excuse to restrict and regulate the internet.

Tom Clancy couldn’t have written all the intrigue, double-dealing and nefarious invention that Shoebat and Keith Davies have uncovered as it all relates to the crafting IN ADVANCE of the scapegoat video apparently created for the purpose to cover for Obama gun-running weapons to ISIS in Syria and as a two-birds-with-one-stone bonus of justifying content restrictions on the internet.

Bombshell: Benghazi Filmmaker CONFIRMED To Be An Agent Of Eric Holder Justice Department

Earlier this week, we brought you news about the producer of the film that was at the heart of the Obama administration talking points on Benghaziadmitting to being a Muslim, not a Coptic Christian as he had been portrayed to America. Now Walid Shoebat, Ben Barrack and Keith Davies confirm he is an agent of Eric Holder’s Justice Department.

The damning trail of evidence begins when a fictitious narrative was concocted by the FBI to lure the courts that Nakoula (the Filmmaker, aka Yousef) was supposed to help the FBI catch Eiad Salameh, his partner in crimes for many years. Yet, the deal was never fulfilled and Eiad was let go by the Feds in 2011 asShoebat.com revealed in a firsthand account never before reported, including a recorded conversation between Nakoula and Shoebat.com in which the filmmaker defended Eiad, the very man he was supposed to help the FEDS catch!

Bolstering the case (aside from the Feds letting two criminals go) is how the filmmaker became an agent of Eric Holder. After Nakoula’s arrest, there was a very curious development at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California, which was handling his case through an Assistant U.S. Attorney who suddenly was pulled off the case and replaced by a full bird –  Chief of the office’s Criminal Division, Robert Dugdale. 

Nakoula got high-profile attention.
In an article that appeared in the Washington Times, Kerry Picket wrote:

What is curious, though, is the fact that the original Asst. U.S. Atty. Jennifer Williams, who helped prosecute Mr. Yousef’s [Nakoula] bank fraud conviction, is not the attorney Mr. Yousef’s lawyers would eventually deal with. Mr. Yousef’s probation violation case, for no explained reason, was kicked up to Chief Criminal Division prosecutor Asst. U.S. Atty. Robert Dugdale. Dugdale is second in the chain of command below U.S. Atty. Andre Birotte of the Central District of California.

Picket was suspicious, she attempted to get answers from the office’s spokesman, Thom Mrozek:

When I pointed out that AUSA Dugdale was not part of the team of attorneys who did prosecute Yousef’s case and asked why the case was kicked up the chain to AUSA Dugdale, Mr. Mrozek responded, “I don’t comment on staffing decisions.”

The U.S. Attorney over Dugdale – Andre Birotte, Jr. became the local caretaker of a very high profile and high stakes case the Obama administration wanted to control very closely and later was nominated by Obama to be U.S. District Judge for California’s Central District.

Eiad Salameh, Nakoula’s partner in crimes – also beholden to the administration – obtained special favors from doing the Justice Department’s bidding. According to a report by The Smoking Gun just days after the Benghazi attacks, charges against Eiad (who has a proven rap sheet) were dropped in the same year that Canadian authorities picked him up:

It is unclear whether Salameh, whose whereabouts are unknown, has been charged in connection with the bank fraud. Salameh was named in a 2006 federal criminal complaint charging him with felony fraud. That complaint–filed under one of Salameh’s many aliases–was dismissed last year by federal prosecutors. A court docket shows that no filings were made after the initial complaint, likely indicating that Salameh was never apprehended.

But the last sentence is incorrect; Salameh was apprehended.

Jeffrey Mason of the Canadian Peel Police picked Salameh up in January of 2011!

At that time, he should have been wanted in connection with both the 2006 and 2009 cases, assuming he was involved in the Nakoula bank fraud case. Yet, the 2006 case was dropped in either the same month Eiad was arrested or in the months that followed.

Shoebat.com has learned from one retired FBI agent that this doesn’t just happen unless Eiad was providing the Feds with something in return for such treatment.

As Shoebat.com has reported, a timeline provides further evidence that the Obama Administration was in cahoots with these figures in the summer of 2011, during the July-August time frame.

1.) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton co-chaired a meeting in Istanbul, Turkey with the head of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). It was to be the first of several meetings that would become known as “The Istanbul Process”. One of the objectives of the OIC has been and remains, to pressure non-Muslim countries to censor speech critical of Islam.

2.) Nakoula began casting for his video.

3.) Eiad Salameh was put on a plane back to Palestine by the Canadians after Eric Holder’s FBI refused to have him extradited and charged.

Eiad was clearly on the hook with the U.S. Justice Department if his 2006 case was dismissed.

FBI’s Benghazi Investigation
When UN Ambassador Susan Rice blamed Nakoula’s video for the Benghazi attacks during her five Sunday talk show appearances on September 16, 2012, it served to anger the president of Libya, who shortly before Rice, had identified the attack as an act of terrorism. Last year, State Department whistle blower Gregory Hicks, the Deputy Chief of Mission in Libya at the time of the attacks, testified about this and said Rice’s comments prevented the FBI from getting to the site of the attacks for weeks.

Based on the FBI’s relationship with Nakoula and Eiad, the longer it took to get to the scene of the Benghazi attacks, the more compromised that scene would become. A compromised crime scene would have served to aid the perpetuation of the video narrative.

Silencing Skeptics
Is it unusual for the U.S. Government to empower informants to engage in a massive scheme and criminal enterprise for the purpose of creating a political climate to help push an agenda? Hardly. In much the same way that the Obama State Department championed the “Istanbul Process” as a vehicle to assault the first amendment, a gunwalking operation was used to assault the second amendment.

In Operation Fast and Furious, multiple federal agencies worked together as part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF). The stated purpose of the operation was to track guns that were being trafficked into Mexico, arrest the bad guys, and confiscate the guns. In reality, as has been clearly demonstrated, the actual purpose was to allow the guns to “walk” into Mexico and make their way into the hands of drug cartels after the ATF – an arm of the Justice Department – mandated U.S. gun store owners sell the guns to bad guys.

The guns would be picked up at crime scenes and American gun store owners would be blamed in a blood libel (sound familiar?). The cover of that operation was blown after the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. An ATF whistle blower named John Dodson came forward and the scandal was exposed.

If blood libel and the collateral damage of innocent human lives in the interest of pushing an agenda like gun control was used to launch an assault on the second amendment, why would it be beyond plausibility to envision the same administration launching an assault on the first amendment using to create the climate for speech control?

Ironically – and perhaps not so coincidentally – the man in charge of the Criminal Division involved in both Fast and Furious and the post-Benghazi prosecution of Nakoula was Lanny Breuer.

….In conclusion, cutting a deal with one criminal to help them catch another it didn’t want brings legitimate questions about how Nakoula’s case was handled by Holder’s Criminal Division, where the possible monies obtained for the film, led at the time nationally by a figure whose claim to infamy is that he wound up as a central figure in the Operation Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal – Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer. Along with Holder, Breuer, Dugdale, Birotte should all be deposed by the House Select Committee on Benghazi.

So should Nakoula and Eiad.

The question should be: Why did the law enforcement bureau Holder led refuse to pick up Eiad when offered on a silver platter by Canadian authorities in 2011. What was the source of the monies spent on the movie? Why was Nakoula given a lesser prison sentence to help the FBI arrest someone it didn’t want, thereby making the plea deal about something else?

In the days after the Benghazi attacks, Nakoula was arrested for violating the terms of his probation. The optics, coupled with the Obama administration’s attempts to blame the video for the deaths, clearly communicated that he was being punished for producing a “crude and disgusting video” that was critical of Islam. Unfortunately, the outrage Nakoula’s arrest generated in conservative circles actually played to the Obama administration’s advantage creating a distraction from the devastating truth.

Based on this explosive development, enough probable cause exists to investigate whether or not Eiad was involved in financing Nakoula’s video production. In this ABC News story filed just two days after the Benghazi attacks, it was revealed that the cost of the video was between $50,000 – $60,000 financed by his family in Egypt.

Just two weeks after Benghazi, Shoebat.com published a report about the claim by Nakoula that his “family” provided him with the funds to produce the video. As we wrote then, this “family” has not been located:

…if an Egyptian by the name of Nakoula Bacile Nakoula is blamed for angering over a billion Muslims, it would not be that difficult to find the entire family in Egypt, to include brothers, cousins, aunts, siblings wife, wives, ex-wives, mistresses, and pets, et. al., especially since the riots that spanned across 30 nations were sparked in Egypt.

In the Middle East, you are known by your clan. Yet, Egypt cannot produce neither this man’s family or his background?

Was Eiad the source of the $50,000 – $60,000? The Feds clearly couldn’t have their fingerprints on the money but two informants who were beholden to the Justice Department could. Is this why he wasn’t taken into custody when the Canadians offered him up?

Providing even further evidence that Nakoula’s video was about agitprop and blood libel are his initial claims about the source of his funding. According to the ABC News report above, Nakoula attempted to say the video cost $5 Million and was funded by a consortium of wealthy Jewish friends. This was clearly lie.

In a Shoebat.com exclusive, we learned that Nakoula recently told one of the actresses in his video – Cindy Lee Garcia – that he is a Muslim after being confronted by Garcia. This claim is bolstered by the mere partnership of Nakoula and Eiad.

Eiad Salameh is a Muslim fundamentalist who hates Coptic Christians. If Nakoula was a Copt, why would Salameh partner with him? The answer is that Nakoula is a Muslim who used agitprop and blood libel as an agent of the Obama administration and its Justice Department.

We Must Strip You Of Rights, Imprison & Kill You In The Name Of Security And Public Safety

Demonization, capitulation, registration, criminalization will lead to Genocide And Brutal Civil War right here in what was once America.

There are few people that I have read that can virtually predict the future by simply reminding us of the lessons of history and Matt Bracken is one of those individuals. The day after a Federal judge upholds the unConstitutional and draconian gun ban and registration law in Conneticut, it’s fitting that I read an essay that puts the precipice of where this nations stands in clarity.

Before I excerpt some parts of the essay that I consider paramount to consider in terms of what portent lies in your near future – as an entrée to what Bracken himself adroitly points out in his essay about how tyranny and genocide is always imposed under the guise of ‘public safety’,  here is what the Federal Judge wrote yesterday in his decision to abolish the Second Amendment for citizens in CT:

“The court concludes that the legislation is constitutional,” senior U.S. District Judge Alfred V. Covello wrote in a decision published late Thursday. “While the act burdens the plaintiffs’ Second Amendment rights, it is substantially related to the important governmental interest of public safety and crime control.”

Yes.  History teaches that genocides like the Jewish Holocaust, the genocide of Kulaks in Russia and the Holdomor in the Ukraine are always done under the guise of ‘public safety’.  Right after the victims are disarmed in the same name.  This is always the raison d’être for imposing tyranny and genocide by the hand of the state.

Bracken notes:

I can hear it now—this is the United States of America! Abuses like the ones you hypothesize simply cannot happen here. ‘Gun registration does not always lead to confiscation, much less to extermination’. ‘We are not Germany or Russia or any of those other countries you mentioned’. ‘This is the 21st Century. America is different, and it can’t happen here’. ‘You must lay your irrational fears aside and place your trust in your government’. ‘It cannot, it will not, ever turn in the dark and tyrannical direction that you imagine’.

Oh, really? Google “wrong-address SWAT raids” and read any of the dozens of articles you will find. We should trust the government not to abuse us even further, once we are disarmed and helpless to resist them?

Here’s one such ‘wrong address’ raid from last week.  it takes the foreign press to report that cops shoot and kill a 72 year old man in his own house after they get the wrong address investigating a ‘robbery’.  At some point such raids are going to be resisted by those who remember history – and when coupled with new gun control dictates, Bracken notes from history where that will go:

…after millions of Americans refuse to comply with new firearms registration and confiscation laws. Action will beget reaction. SWAT raids will spur armed resistance, which will spur “death squad” reprisals by “off-duty” agents, exactly in the way I wrote in “Enemies Foreign and Domestic.” It is a natural, almost organic progression, once started—and it has started. Secret detention centers will proliferate like mushrooms in the night. The media will not report on them, even if screams are heard around the clock by neighbors. Particularly brave reporters who break the media silence to report on police abuses will disappear, or be found headless, as they are in Mexico today.

For that is what a modern “dirty civil war” looks like, in country after country, from continent to continent. If present trends continue, America is going to experience a very old witch’s brew on her home soil for the first time since the Civil War.

Before it gets there, understand the conditions that have already been groomed by the current political regime to consider Conservatives to be domestic enemies.  Understand how far down the path towards genocide this nation is already on.  I’m excerpting this section from Bracken’s essay on how demonization leads to actions such as registration, criminalization, incarceration and ultimately, extermination.  Remember, demonization of a segment of people by a government or ruling class ALWAYS results in those same rulers exterminating the group they have demonized.  Demonization/scapegoating makes their removal from society acceptable to the masses, and even applauded by acolytes.  We are already well into this phase.

The Scapegoat Express

Scapegoating an unpopular group is standard operating procedure for budding socialist dictators wrecking once-free economies. For the Soviets, it was the Kulaks; for the Chinese it was the so-called “landlords.” I could list more recent cases to include Cambodia, Uganda, Guatemala, Rwanda and others. Once disarmed and helpless to resist, the hated national scapegoats are slaughtered by the millions.

Probably few Turks, Germans or Russians gave a thought to the ultimate aim of their new gun registration laws, passed quite plausibly in the name of public safety. But national gun registration is a slow-acting poison, sweet and easy to swallow, but potentially becoming deadly only years later, when a tyrant takes the reins of power and inevitably sends for the list. He begins with his most dangerous enemies and works his way through the list, marching the helpless scapegoats into deserts or gas chambers or gulags after disarming them.

In America today, we are seeing the beginning of an insidious scapegoating process, with older conservative white Christian males designated as the nationalLucifer du jour, fair game for any vicious attack. Famous black movie stars joke about murdering white folks and white liberal media stars laugh along with them, conveying elite acceptance of the prevailing “evil whitey” meme.

Filled from birth on a steady diet of the pervasiveness of white racism in America, rage-filled urban youths across the nation play “the knockout game” with often fatal results for their randomly selected white or Asian victims. Meanwhile, the elite liberal media fail to notice the national scope of the almost weekly occurrences. Google “the knockout game” and start reading the dozens of local stories that the media refuse to connect or identify as part of a dangerous national trend.

And it doesn’t stop with knocking out random passers-by with sucker punches and then kicking them in head until they are dead, disfigured for life, or in comas. Have you ever heard of “The Knoxville Horror”? How about “The Wichita Horror”? Google them, read the local news articles about them, and ask yourself how much national media attention those cases and others like them would garner had the races been reversed.

When alternately trumpeting or ignoring crime stories based entirely on the races of the perpetrators and the victims isn’t enough to convey the media’s full slant, they will invent stories or lie freely, as we saw in the Trayvon Martin case, with video footage edited and spliced to deliberately portray “white-Hispanic” George Zimmerman as a racist killer. Selectively covering or ignoring crimes depending on the races of the victims and perpetrators is a vital part of the process of scapegoating. The unspoken message is clearly conveyed: crimes against disfavored groups just don’t matter. The violence prone absorb the lesson, and the result is a wave of racial attacks such as those described under the rubric of “the knockout game.”

Or consider the types of cartoons that are considered acceptable today in mainstream publications, portraying prototypical older white Christian men—presumably filthy-rich conservative Republicans—as hate-spewing maniacal villains, complete with fangs, Confederate flags, prominent Christian crosses and gigantic, threatening guns. Compare these viciously racist cartoons to the vilest anti-Semitic cartoons created by Nazi propagandists before and during World War II. I am not speaking of cartoons drawn by nobodies and posted on obscure fringe websites, I am talking about cartoons printed in mainstream newspapers, cartoons that would be condemned if the targeted group was any other than the scapegoat.

Cartoons are not serious, you say? Then how about a paper in an approved and sanctioned semi-official U.S. military publication, written by a War College professor in good standing. Serious enough for you? Google the “Small Wars Journal” piece entitled “Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland: A Vision of the Future,” by Colonel Kevin Benson, USA (ret), 2012. The “full spectrum operations” envisaged for the Army in the homeland are not made against hypothetical hostile drug cartels in the Southwest, or urban gangs, or the traditionally ambiguous and vague “Pineland Liberation Group,” or “Orangeland People’s Front,” hypothetical stand-ins named to offend no one, not even by accident.

This long-standing neutral naming protocol is tossed aside in “Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland,” where the new domestic enemy that the U.S. Army must crush is a neo-KKK, a white racist “Tea Party terrorist” organization, headquartered in, of all places, Darlington, South Carolina. Yes, the NASCAR Darlington. Anybody who has been in or near an actual Tea Party event or rally knows the crowd is made up mainly of an older white population, a quiet group that leaves no mess behind, not even a stray poster, and causes no fuss.

Yet “Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland” postulates that these white grandpas and grannies will be the very group that the U.S. Army will be called upon to crush in its first major battles on American soil since 1865. The message this paper sends throughout the upper ranks of the War-College-trained military, actually naming an ethnic group—Southern whites—as the national enemy to “hypothetically” be crushed by the Army in the year 2016, is simply mind-boggling.

The path forward that is indicated by the media’s growing acceptance of these vile and outrageous anti-white celebrity rants, cartoons, and articles is the same path that in previous eras led to the guillotine, the gulag, and the gas chamber for the scapegoated populations. But the final solution—genocide of the scapegoats—is only possible after the mob is sufficiently inflamed with hatred toward them by the mass media, in collaboration with an evil government. And time after time, it works.

We are seeing the opening stages of the scapegoating of white conservatives today, as the last election seems to demonstrate to the left’s satisfaction that a crucial political and demographic tipping point has been passed, and the ultimate power equations of raw tribal loyalty have changed in a fundamental way—and now it’s payback time.

We have seen this play out before in other countries and times, and it is deadly serious. Once the scapegoating gets far enough under way, it can pick up a life and a momentum of its own. For example, if the economy ever truly crashes, and the EBT system that feeds fifty million Americans goes down hard, leading to hunger, looting, and riots, (or we suffer other unforeseen problems of similar crisis proportions), the scapegoats will always be dragged to the forefront as the pre-designated patsy, to deflect blame from the government.

“It’s the traitorous Armenians! It’s the greedy Kulaks! It’s the filthy Jews! It’s the oppressive Rwandan Hutus! It’s the white-racist rednecks! Let’s go get them, and make them pay!”

The end result of disarming a scapegoat population is as easy to follow as 1-2-3:

1. Registration. 2. Confiscation. 3. Extermination.

And in this cultural and social climate, with class envy and racial hatred being stoked by the government and its willing partners in the liberal media against white conservatives, our socialist-leaning administration now wants us to surrender our most useful and effective self-defense tools, in the name of “public safety”!

Bracken’s entire lengthy but necessary essay is written to security agents and law enforcement because he considers appealing to government, the courts and politicians a waste of time.  Bracken notes that it is the ‘security’ apparatus that will be told to carry out what he fears is coming.

The essay is a long read.  It is an historical and factual read.  It is a prophetic read.  It is a sobering read.  It is a necessary read.

But it is where we have arrived.  The place where the State can decide to can do what it likes to you in the name of security, public safety, income inequality, gender inequality, and the host of excuses all Leftist despots beguile their citizens to embrace and accept before the mass graves are filled.

The entire read is here:

Dear Mr. Security Agent

The Obama Support and Arming of Al Qaeda

Al Qaeda operatives hijacked 4 jetliners and obliterated the World Trade Center and the Pentagon 12 years ago – but today, Obama’s regime supports Al Qaeda in Syria.

With help from the Leftist Propaganda Mainstream Media, Americans were made fuzzy on who attacked us on 9-11.  Almost immediately while the dust was still settling over Manhattan, the Left began screaming ‘Why do they hate us??’ ,  and in subsequent weeks insisted that we ‘provoked them’ somehow.  Over the last 12 years, we have been lectured by the Left about the bigotry of America, and that we are harming ‘moderate’ Muslims’ when we focus on the Jihadists.  Since Obama took office, all references to militant Islam have been scrubbed from official policies and instead the focus has been put upon white Christian American patriots.

Obama from the start of his regime, began to pander and support Sunni’s Muslims.  Who can forget his infamous low bow to the Saudi prince?

His Cairo speech to the Muslim world?  His proxy wars on secular dictators in Libya, Egypt and Tunisia – surplanting them with Muslim Brotherhood Jihadists – the Father of Al Qaeda.

So this week we were minutes to midnight in an Obama-push to attack Basher Assad’s Syrian forces as punishment for allegedly using chemical weapons, an attack that would have quickly involved Russia and escalated into a regional conflict that has the potential to jumpstart WWIII.  There is no definitive proof that Assad’s forces used the weapons on his own people. Rather evidence is mounting that Obama’s Al Qaeda-loyal Islamist Rebels have used the weapons for the purpose of blaming them on Assad so as to have military help from Obama to give them an advantage over Assad’s regime so as to install a Sunni Islamist Theocracy as was attempted in Egypt.

On this Twelf Anniversary of the horrific attack by Al Qaeda Islamists on America, we should be mindful of the fact that the Obama regime is aiding, comforting, arming and funding Al Qaeda-loyal Islamist rebels in Syria.

We can assume the word treason does not apply to the Obama regime anymore than the word responsibility does.

Obama’s Rebel Friends – al Qaeda

It seems appropriate today being September 11 to take a look at who our president’s new friends are.  I’m referring to the Syrian rebels.  So many things to cover…

Last week in Congressional hearings Secretary of State John Kerry testified that Islamic extremists are just marginal players in the Syrian civil war and are unlikely to benefit much from any bombing done by the United States.  Rep. Michael T. McCaul (R-TX) disagreed with Kerry, saying that the classified briefings he received as chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security indicated that “the majority now of these rebel forces – and I say majority now – are radical Islamists pouring in from all over the world to come to Syria for the fight.”

A Catholic nun who lives in the St. James Monastery in Qara, Syria has been reporting what has actually been happening in Syria and she had some not so complimentary things to say about the rebels.

In the village of Estreba they massacred all the  residents and burnt down their houses. In the village of  al-Khratta almost all the 37 locals were killed. Only ten people were able to escape. 

A total of twelve Alawite villages were subjected to this horrendous attack. That was a true slaughterhouse. People were mutilated and beheaded. There is even a video that shows a girl  being dismembered alive – alive! – by a frame saw. The final death toll exceeded 400, with 150 to 200 people taken hostage.  Later some of the hostages were killed, their deaths  filmed.

The Mail Online has reported what happened when the rebels ‘liberated’ a village.

One Maaloula resident said the rebels, many of whom had beards and shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ (God is great), attacked Christian homes and churches shortly after moving into the village. 

‘They shot and killed people. I heard gunshots and then I saw three bodies lying in the middle of a street in the old quarters of the village. Where is President Obama to see what has befallen  us?’

Another Christian resident said: ‘I saw the militants grabbing five villagers and threatening them and saying, “Either you convert to Islam, or you will be beheaded”.’

Another said one church had been torched, and gunmen stormed into two other churches and robbed them.

Business Insider has a report that Saudi Arabia sent 1,200 death row inmates to fight against Assad in Syria. The inmates were given a choice of decapitation or going to Syria to join the rebels.  A leaked memo had the details of the arrangement.

We have reached an agreement with them that they will be exempted from the death sentence and given a monthly salary to their families and loved ones, who will be prevented from traveling outside Saudi Arabia in return for rehabilitation of the accused and their training in order to send them to Jihad in Syria.

The New American has reported that one of the most prominent and powerful rebel groups fighting in Syria has formally announced that it was merging with al Qaeda in Iraq.  Pictures posted on the internet show the rebels displaying black al Qaeda flags and heaven weaponry.  Two days before the announcement, al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri called on all Islamic fighters in Syria to join and fight together to oust Assad and seize power. He told them, “Do all you can to ensure that the fruit of your struggle, God willing, is an Islamic state.”

And who can forget the rebels executing captured Syrian soldiers as they stood over their kneeling captives?  The New York Times has the story.

The Syrian rebels posed casually, standing over their prisoners with firearms pointed down at the shirtless and terrified men.  The prisoners, seven in all, were captured Syrian soldiers. Five were trussed, their backs marked with red welts. They kept their faces pressed to the dirt as the rebels’ commander recited a bitter revolutionary verse.       

“For fifty years, they are companions to corruption,” he said. “We swear to the Lord of the Throne, that this is our oath: We will take revenge.”       

The moment the poem ended, the commander, known as “the Uncle,” fired a bullet into the back of the first prisoner’s head. His gunmen followed suit, promptly killing all the men at their feet.

These are the people President Obama wants us to support with our military?  These are the people to whom we have been covertly supplying weaponry?  These are the people who would be running Syria if Assad was overthrown?  These are our new friends?  People who either belong to or have joined up with the group responsible for the image below?

These may be the people Obama wants to call ‘friends’ but the American people will never support this.  In his speech to the nation last night Obama made the comparison between Assad using gas and Hitler gassing the Jews.  I disagree wholeheartedly with the comparison and consider it an insult to Jews.  Obama would have the American public believe the people he wants to help are being led to the slaughter by the evil Syrian forces.  From what I have read there is slaughter happening on both sides.  I see no reason at all to put one American soldier in jeopardy or spend even one dollar of our defense budget to help any of these people, on either side.  We have not one friend there.  But apparently, the al-Qaeda supported rebels do have a friend in our White House.  And any friend of theirs is no friend to the American people.

One September Morning…

Everything changed one perfect morning twelve years ago, and into the fog of forget America wanders.

Like Memorial Day, September 11 is slowly but inexorably morphing into something other than a day to remember the reason the day is marked.  Time is eroding the true nature of Jihadist Islam and what it did to the mightiest nation on earth in just 102 minutes.

Of course Barack Obama and his Marxofascist Leftists have a hand in changing the public perception of what the day was and what it is now supposed to represent.  There’s a Million Man Muslim March on D.C. today to bitch and moan that 9-11 creates a negative stereotype of Muslims and to demand government stop “libelous slander against Islam”.

To counter that, a Two Million Biker Rally in remembrance of the Fallen and America’s Veterans was planned – but Obama’s Federal Government denied them the permit, even though they awarded a permit for the Muslims to march in victory over the Great Satan.   In good American tradition however, the Bikers are planning on ignoring any attempts by the feds to stop them, and are planning on riding to D.C. anyway.

It seems the efforts by the Obama regime and Muslims who demand Americans do not look at them or their religion in a negative light, are working hard to extinguish and paper-over what 9-11 really was and the kind of enemy who is still at war with us even as you read this.

But I remember what happened that one September morning twelve years ago.  Many others do also.

Lest we forget and become easy prey for those who seek to deceive in order to destroy.

A September Evening

Posted by Daniel Greenfield @ the Sultan Knish blog

For a while, the eyes still seemed to see them there, perfect straight lines rising into the sky, an empty space on the horizon that your mind filled in without even thinking. You walked past, and thought, “Of course they’re there. They’re always there” and you saw them as they were, grey ghosts of steel rising above the rubble. You saw the city as it was and then you remembered that city is gone.

New York, the old grimy bustling city, has made way for two cities. The Bloombergian city of the yuppie toting a bag of organic groceries to her Citibike and the miniature Detroits of housing projects and endless grievances.

The old imaginary city still exists in the countless movies being filmed on every block where space aliens, monsters and superheroes regularly rampage past stereotypical cabbies with Brooklyn accents, but that city is fading away.

The tourists flock to see the shadow of that city which lingers on like the shadow of the towers.

On September 11, Ground Zero was New York. Today you can see Mexican and African vendors peddling commemorative patriotic knickknacks made in China and on a bad day the Truthers show up howling their contempt for the site. Tourists stop by and pose for snapshots with their families. Office workers walk by without thinking. The site, like the towers, is just something that’s there.

Tonight and the night before as the towers of light cast blue beams across the sky, we remember but memory is a destructive medium. Each year the memories grow fainter. People ask each other where they were that day but the stories grow fainter each year and the memories of walking across the Brooklyn Bridge, stumbling through the ash or handing out sandwiches to rescue workers have dimmed.

To walk through the darkness toward the towers of light is to pass through a city of shadows. In a stray glimmer of light reflecting from a storefront or a puddle you can still see the old MISSING posters covering every face and dark trucks filled with grim men tearing apart the street asphalt. You can catch glimpses of a city reeling from the incomprehensible.

New York City is used to tragedy. Terrible things happen here all the time. The oldest photos of the city show the same stunned faces, legs lying in a puddle of blood, gawking children and stern cops frowning at something we cannot see. And relentlessly the blood is washed away, the tears are dried and the city moves on. September 11 left behind more blood, more legs and more frowning police… but the ashes have still been dumped in a landfill, the tears dried and the city moved on.

September 11 has become a tragedy and tragedy is an experience, not an explanation. It is a bonding experience that gives way to catharsis. The dead are mourned, the grief is expelled and the horror of it takes on the faint tinge of memory. It is no longer what is, but what was. It is not how we live now, but how we lived then. There is no longer a need for answers and that for many is also a relief.

“It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story,” Agatha Christie said.

Most people who live here have given up on solving the city’s detective stories. The weathered New Yorker is expected to meet the  inexplicable with a shrug of the shoulders. Everything is strange, but the strangeness is the point. Everyone is living in a postmodern detective story with no solutions and no need for them.

In Murder on the Orient Express, Poirot arrives at the solution by realizing that only in America could such an unlikely collection of characters have met. By America, he means New York, and the city is still the ideal place to find unlikely collisions of characters.

There is still a murder to be solved  and the suspects come and go in the streets below. The crime did not end with the murder of 3,000 people and the destruction of two towers. New schemes of mass murder are hatched every day across one river or the other. Maps are studied, charts are drawn up and the tools of the trade are gathered up by men who during the day sell papers or drive food trucks.

The murderers are still on the loose and what happened that terrible day was not an isolated incident, but part of a pattern of attacks taking place in a clash of civilizations. New York, the crossroads of civilizations, is a natural target for the attacks. New York is to the world what Mecca was to Arabia and the new Mohammeds are eager to do to it what Mohammed did to Mecca.

Bin Laden is dead, but the Muslim Oilsphere is full of other wealthy sons warring against the West. His backers are alive and the drone attacks that kill Al Qaeda leaders don’t touch their money men in the Oilsphere. The clerics who teach young Muslim men about the glories of martyrdom can rest easy. They can even open up a mosque at Ground Zero.

This conflict of ideologies and collision of cultures is nothing less than the perpetuation of the great Islamic crusade against the Other. And where better to wage that war than in the places where others meet others every day? What better target than a World Trade Center for a violent ideology built on merchants turned robbers and robbers turned merchants?

In a city where everyone is different, it can be difficult for some to understand that the attackers were motivated by those differences. Their war against us is an attack on people who are fundamentally and incomprehensibly different than they are.

Islam is xenophobia written into unholy writ, a long chain of conquest, subjugation and cultural destruction by desert nomads who know how to drive a sharp bargain, but despite their claims of golden ages and scientific discoveries, have never been anything more than the jackals sniffing around the ruins of greater civilizations.

It is as natural for them to attack us as it is for us to wonder why we were attacked.

Americans hold the peculiar belief that life need not be a zero sum game. That we can learn from other people without turning them into our subjects. That we can make more of something instead of stealing from a finite amount that someone else has and then destroying them so that they can never get it back.

That is the great creative power of American Exceptionalism. It is a transcendent force that turned a land full of refugees into a world power brimming with technological wonders.

New York, that strange part-Dutch, part-English, part-Everything-else city, runs on the creativity of the impossible. Starving artists, aspiring actors, failed musicians, flailing poets, real estate mavens without a dime and brokers trading thin air gamble on the impossible. New York always seems on the verge of total anarchy and destruction and yet keeps going on in that strange half-mad creativity.

For Islam, the game is zero sum. If American civilization thrives, then their civilization is shadowed. If people are happy here, then they cannot be happy. If there are two towers in New York, that detracts from the glory of Islamic civilization. Islam is the bitter beggar forever looking to steal what it cannot have, worrying over the imaginary history of its own greatness and cursing the upstarts in the streets of a foreign city for taking the glory was rightfully theirs.

The American who shares his good fortune with the rest of the world cannot understand that there are some people who would rather steal than accept a gift, who would rather destroy than build and who would rather drown the world in darkness than accept someone else’s light.

With some difficulty he might accept the existence of a small number of people who think this way, but an entire civilization built in this mold is too obscene an idea.

As with so many other strange things that wash up in the concrete streets of a strange city, it is easier to leave the mystery unsolved, to let the blanket fall back over the clash of civilizations and go on forward. It is the way that things have always been done in the city and as twin rays of light bisect the sky, they remind New Yorkers of their own fortitude, and not of the enemy waiting outside the light.

Outside a shadow war is waged with drones and hackers, spies and journalists, men in mosques speak quietly of terror and other men listen over the phone. There is little truth in this shadow war, but in some moments the light pierces the darkness and those who have forgotten why we are doing this, remember. And then they remember to forget.

 

The Obama Marxist Coup Begins In Earnest?

Obama fires/replaces military Commanders who may have defied his orders to Stand Down and abandon Americans in Benghazi.

News from late last week, but was lost in the hysteria over Frankenstorm Sandy.  Obama may have begun a purge of those military brass who he feels do not toe his line – especially when they involve following his orders that result in the abandonment and death of Americans.

Orders in the military are regarded as almost holy writ, and the chain of command followed without question.  But this is not ancient Rome and Obama is not yet Caesar in the minds of many – but he may be in the beginning phase of a purge of military brass not beholden to his every whim.

What happens when good men, raised on following orders are given orders to abandon and leave Americans to die at the hands of our avowed Jihadist enemies? Some may argue they are rightfully fired/court martialed and removed for disregarding orders.  But if moral law is a motivating factor in carrying out orders – defying them would indicate an immoral order was ignored or not followed.

Such an appearance of evil may be the case with a four-star General involved in the African theater of operations or AFRICOM, on 9-11, 2012 when the American mission in Benghazi came under attack.

Gateway Pundit reported on Saturday that Obama had removed and replaced General Carter Ham, who was head of AFRICOM on that September 11, and General Joseph Dunford of the Marine Corps.  There was also a Rear Admiral of a Carrier Strike Group recalled, but it seems that may be on matters unrelated to Benghazi.

rumor making the rounds is that Barack Obama replaced General Carter Ham at AFRICOM after the general made a move to help the US security officials at the Benghazi consulate and annex. Ham was replaced by Gen. David Rodriquez on October 18….

General [Carter] Ham as head of Africom received the same e-mails the White House received requesting help/support as the attack was taking place. General Ham immediately had a rapid response unit ready and communicated to the Pentagon that he had a unit ready.

General Ham then received the order to stand down. His response was to screw it, he was going to help anyhow. Within 30 seconds to a minute after making the move to respond, his second in command apprehended General Ham and told him that he was now relieved of his command.

As the lie and cover-ups of the Benghazi debacle by Obama’s regime begin to unravel – it is being noted for the record here, that General Ham’s account of events surrounding the 9-11 attacks in Benghazi do not square with SEVERAL adamant claims of Obama, his State Department and his propaganda media machine trying their damnedest to protect and exonerate Obama from the scandal.

In an interview with state Representative Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) General Ham told him directly on explicit questioning that he was NEVER ordered to save men in Benghazi:

Did we have resources in the area? The answer is “yes”.
Did we have proximity? The answer is “yes”.
Why we didn’t send in some of those assets? The general said he was not requested to do so. Meaning someone higher up than a 4-star General made the call to stand down and not send aid to help the Americans under attack in Benghazi.

While Obama and his regime refuse to address or answer ANY questions about the Benghazi attacks, citing it is investigating the situation – Jay Carney let it slip that  Obama’s inaction on the Benghazi situation now extends to his inaction on the supposed investigation taking place. The administration has still not made clear what exactly is being investigated, or the extent of the investigation. And President Obama doesn’t much care, as Carney said “He (Obama) has not participated in the investigation”.

So what we know for certain is that General Ham says that he was never asked to send assets to rescue Americans in a U.S. Mission under attack by Jihadists in Libya, and that he is now relieved of that command. Speculation over this appearance of evil since there is no truth or clarifications coming from Obama – is simply leading to more and more ugly suppositions.  Mine, is that Obama is conducting a purge of those military brass that aren’t going to go along with his coup.
