Just 12 miles north of the ISIS-controlled city of Mosul, an American filmmaker and self-styled revolutionary is running a boot camp for Christians willing and able to fight for their lives and faith against the murderous Islamic terror organization.

Matthew VanDyke, an award-winning documentary filmmaker who escaped a Libyan prison after going there to help overthrow Col. Muammar Qaddafi in 2011, is helping to train hundreds of long-persecuted Assyrian Christians in everything from firearms to close quarters combat. VanDyke, who founded the security contracting firm company Sons of Liberty (SOLI), is working with an unnamed U.S. military veteran to get the Christian conscripts who range in age from 18 to 60 or older, ready to take on the ominous black clad army that lies dug in to Ir

We just watched his movie (Point & Shoot) a coupla weeks ago. Neither of us had ever heard of him before, but the premise of the movie seemed interesting. Hafta say it was very enjoyable. We were curious to what had ever happened with this cat.

Eeeenteresting. d:^)

Well that was pretty damned stupid. Was he fighting alongside the Muslim Brotherhood there? Gadaffi did not oppress Christians at all. Now they are being beheaded. What a stupid moron.

Maybe he has seen his error and is trying to atone. A lot of heads full of mush bought into Obama’s “Arab Spring” of freedom nonsense.

The Dem party has an anti-Jewish streak a mile wide and an inch deep.
