The Wahabi Invasion of America
August 28, 2004
by Elwood McQuaid
SNIP
Whatever the population, non-Wahabi Muslim leaders say approximately 80 percent of all U.S. mosques are under the control of Wahabi imams and subsidized by Saudi Arabia. In addition to funding mosque construction and subsidizing programs, the Saudis are said to be pouring millions into creating a system of schools teaching militant Wahabi doctrines.

"Putin Announces Measures to Increase Kremlin Control Over Politics"
The Associated Press
Published: Sep 13, 2004
MOSCOW (AP)
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced initiatives Monday that would further strengthen the central government's control over the nation's political life.
He said the Kremlin should name regional governors, who would then be confirmed by local legislatures instead of being elected by a popular vote.
He also recommended changing the system of electing the country's lower house of parliament, the State Duma, to a purely proportional system.
That would eliminate the individual races that currently fill half the chamber's seats, and would further increase the clout of the pro-Kremlin faction and its allies that already enjoy an overwhelming majority.

Well- my library time is almost up. I wanted to post this before leaving.
Does anyone here follow "The Final Phase"? I'm not a member over there, but have been reading their forum off and on for several years.
I noted this line in a post by "BB7" made today- and it clicked with so much of what we have been discussing here.
Does anyone have any further information about this, links, etc.?
"As was shared earlier, Italian and UK intelligence has uncovered information of Russian duplicity with AQ terrorists and passed the information on to the US."
If the above is true, then Putin has to know that the US will hold Russia indirectly responsible if the US gets hit with WMD via AQ.
Hi everyone.
Just a reminder....
The weather is starting to cool off now. Be sure to have some warm cloths in your 3-day emergency kits.
And keep those gas tanks at least 1/2 full!
As always, I'm watching and I'm prepared (locked & loaded).
Stay Safe!

SNIP from one of many diatribes:
O Muslims: You are now aware of the poison that they mixed with fat in the American project for the Middle East. Rather, it is poison alone without any fat mixed in; so what are you waiting for? What are your armies waiting for? What are the influential people amongst you waiting for? Are you waiting till America has implemented its project for the Middle East, the great one and the small one, and thus your countries become full of prisons more than just Abu Ghuraib? Do you wait till your children face the same end, which that little girl faced when she raised her trembling hands while the gun was pointed towards her? Do you wait for any good from your rulers? They are actually the misfortune and the source of the disease; and they are the people who placed the countries in the grip of the enemies.
O Muslims!
Hizb ut-Tahrir calls upon you to mobilise your forces and rally your ranks to help and support it in its work to establish the Khilafah state, by which you will restore your glory, attain the good pleasure of your lord and destroy your enemy.
Let each one of you do that which he is able to do: whoever is capable to join in this work in the first rows as a front line supporter to help in establishing the state, let him do so and come forward. Whoever is capable to work in the rear rows as a rear line supporter to help in establishing the state, let him do so and come forward. Whoever is not capable to work, and will be around it for protecting the state and the da'wa, let him do so and come forward. Whoever is unable to do so because of an excuse or a reason, let him support it by his heart and du'aa, and by his grudge against the enemies of Allah and His Messenger, namely America, Britain, Jews and their allies.
As for us, Hizb ut-Tahrir, we are proceeding in our work by the Will of Allah, to seek realisation of His promise:
æÚÏ Çááå ÇáÐíä ÁÇãäæÇ ãäßã æÚãáæÇ ÇáÕÇáÍÇÊ áíÓÊÎáÝäåã Ýí ÇáÃÑÖ...
'Allah has promised those of you who believe and do good deeds that He will surely make them to succeed (the present rulers) in the earth…' [24: 55]

Hi AD.
Sounds like you are well prepared for anything.
We got a snowblower this year to go along with our snowplow.

Osama adds weight to Afghan resistance
By Syed Saleem Shahzad
CHAMAN, near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border - Since the disintegration of the Taliban regime at the end of 2001, the Afghan resistance has endured, managing, if nothing else, to keep US-led occupying forces and the Afghan National Army engaged in small pockets.
But much bigger things are planned.
The Taliban are commanded from within Afghanistan by the likes of Taliban leader Mullah Omar, Jalaluddin Haqqani, Mullah Dadullah and Saifullah Mansoor. And significantly, according to Asia Times Online research, al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and his deputy, Dr Ayman al-Zawahiri, along with other senior al-Qaeda figures, are no longer in Pakistan but orchestrating the Afghan resistance from within Afghanistan, remote from Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Iran Holds Military Exercises Near Border
Sun Sep 12, 2:28 PM ET
By ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press Writer
TEHRAN, Iran - Hundreds of thousands of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards began military maneuvers Sunday near the border with Iraq, with a top commander saying the exercise was designed to reinforce Iran's resolve to defend itself against "big powers."
Mohammed Bagher Zolqadr, a senior officer of the Revolutionary Guards, did not mention the United States by name but was clearly referring to America, which leads the multinational force in neighboring Iraq.
"Our country has constantly been threatened directly or indirectly by extra-regional forces and big powers ... . We are holding the exercises to show our resolve and (our) will to defend ourselves," he told state television.
Iran, which views the United States as an arch foe, is concerned about the U.S. military presence in Iraq, to the west of Iran, and in Afghanistan, to the east of Iran.
President Bush has described Iran as part of an "axis of evil," along with North Korean and Iraq under the ousted dictator Saddam Hussein.
Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi, the chief of the Revolutionary Guards, told state radio that "hundreds of thousands" of troops were taking part in the nine-day maneuvers in western Iran.
The exercises would involve missiles, fighter aircraft and helicopters, Zolqadr said.
Since the end of the eight-year Iran-Iraq war in 1988, Iran has held a number of maneuvers each year to improve its military stamina and to test locally made equipment such as tanks, armored personnel carriers and missiles. The maneuvers are usually held near either the Iraqi border or the Afghan border.

Scores Are Dead After Violence Spreads in Iraq
By SABRINA TAVERNISE
[]AGHDAD, Iraq, Sept. 12 - In a series of tightly sequenced attacks, at least 25 Iraqis were killed by suicide car bombings and a barrage of missile and mortar fire in several neighborhoods across Baghdad on Sunday.
The attacks were the most widespread in months, seeming to demonstrate the growing power of the insurgency and heightening the sense of uncertainty and chaos in the capital at a time when American forces have already ceded control to insurgents in a number of cities outside of Baghdad.

Afghan Crowds Loot and Burn Over Governor's Dismissal
By CARLOTTA GALL
[]ERAT, Afghanistan, Sept. 12 - Violent demonstrators ransacked and burned at least four United Nations office compounds and a human rights office here on Sunday as they clashed with the national police and army in an angry protest at the removal of Gov. Ismail Khan by the central government.
Four people were killed and up to 50 wounded, most of them civilian demonstrators suffering from gunshot wounds, doctors at the provincial hospital said. Fifteen American soldiers and two national army soldiers were injured, mostly from stones and bricks hurled at them, said Anne Bodine, an American State Department official based in Herat.
The violence and extensive damage was a major blow to the central government of President Hamid Karzai, which had sent 1,000 soldiers and hundreds of national police officers to secure the area for the arrival of the new governor from Kabul. Now, with the Oct. 9 elections nearing, the United Nations' activities will be severely hampered in the whole western part of the country. . . .
The destruction in the protests on Sunday was the worst to occur in Afghanistan since Mr. Karzai took power as head of an interim administration more than two and a half years ago. The national police and army were unable to contain the demonstration or stop the looting.
About 60 United Nations and other foreign staff members took to their bunkers, and then had to be evacuated by United States soldiers to the American reconstruction teams' base in town, and then by helicopter to the airport where the Afghan Army units are based. Most foreigners will be evacuated Monday to Kabul, Ms. Bodine said.
Clashes with American soldiers near the Mowafaq Hotel were reported to be continuing at dusk. A witness said he saw protesters throwing Molotov cocktails at American troops, and one passer-by was shot.

You know, back in the old days such display would be designed to inflict fear into the hearts of potential opponents. However, now in the 21st century, this kind of exercise only permits our military intelligence to map out their C3CM, field operations, interservice coordination, etc., which will permit us to take their heads off quicker should the bovine excriment hit the rotating air mixer.

MISSION ORGANIZATION URGES PRAYERS AS IRAN DETAINS PENTECOSTAL LEADERS
"Unsure of detainees welfare"
By: Stefan J. Bos
Special Correspondent, ASSIST News Service
SPRINGFIELD / TEHRAN (ANS) -- The mission organization of the world's largest Pentecostal denomination asked its supporters Monday, September 13, to pray for 10 church leaders in Iran who it said were arrested last week by Iranian security forces.
Springfield based U.S. Assemblies of God World Missions (AGWM) said it had been notified that the group was detained last week when a police raid interrupted a meeting of the Iran General Council of the Assemblies of God, reportedly in Karaj 20 miles (32 kilometers) west of the capital Tehran.
"Iranian brethren contacted AGWM to call the Body of Christ to prayer," said Mark Hausfeld, Area Director for AGWM's Central Eurasia Missions in a statement obtained by ASSIST News Service (ANS).
The Compass news agency reported earlier that initially 80 Pentecostal Christians were detained, blindfolded and separately interrogated by Iranian police late Thursday, September 9. While "most were released," the 10 leaders of Iran's Assemblies of God Executive Committee are still being held, added Hausfeld.
DETAINEES WELFARE UNKNOWN
He said his organization is "unsure of the detainees welfare" and that AGWM "is monitoring the situation while awaiting further word from experienced people concerning the best way to proceed."
Six ordained ministers were named among the prisoners, identified by their given names of Vartan, Soren, Harmik, George, Omid and Farhad. Another two men serving as pastors and two church elders were identified as Neshan, Hamid, Henry and Robert, Compass quoted Iranian sources as saying.
"This is the biggest crisis for evangelical believers in the country since three Protestant pastors were murdered 10 years ago," another unidentified Iranian Christian told Compass, which has close contacts with persecuted believers.
IRAN CALLED "THEOCRACY"
Human rights watchers have described Iran "as the world’s only theocracy," which forbids the activities of evangelical Christian citizens, closing down their churches and arresting known converts to Christianity.
Under Islamic law, apostates who leave Islam are subject to the death penalty.
Iran is one of the over 200 countries where AGWM claims to be represented by 4,000 people, including 1,900 appointed missionaries, 600 missionary associates and 1,500 missionary children. The Pentecostal denomination supporting AGWM has roughly 50 million members and adherents with 250,000 churches and preaching points worldwide, according to Assemblies of God estimates.

Oh my, I didn't know they were AG!
PORTLAND -- A bomb squad robot detonated a suspicious bag discovered Monday morning near Portland International Airport. The pull-type suitcase was found inside a secure area near the economy parking lot and the north runway.
As a precaution, the runway and a large portion of Marine Drive were closed. Air traffic was diverted onto PDX's other runways, and flights were not disrupted.
There was no secondary explosion when the robot blew up the suitcase at about 11:45 a.m. At noon, the machine was inspecting what was left of the bag.
The Federal Aviation Administration reopened the runway about noon, but Marine Drive remained closed between 122nd and 33rd avenues during the investigation.

You are entirely correct from the standpoint of conventional warfare. However, as it is the IRGC that is stirring the pot in Iraq with just a few thousand insurgents creating national instability (with several major cities in rebel hands), I would be prepared for them to leave behind their heavy equipment, and like Saddam's Fedayeen, put on civilian clothes and infiltrate into Iraq.
Look at what they are doing with what we believe to be no more than 10-20,000 (high end estimate) across the entirety of Iraq.
Now multiply that tenfold.
Never underestimate the enemy. They are not ten feet tall. But we have been fought to a standstill (Korea)and even beaten (Vietnam) by lesser men than these. Overwhelming military power can be overcome by the enemy if he uses asymmetric strategies. That is the whole idea behind terrorism or "unrestricted" warfare.
I just hope planners have learned from some of the glaring errors in the assumptions about Iraq. A small but well-organized and determined enemy with a plan (even if they are low-tech) can exploit our weaknesses (if we are not prepared).
It happened in the aftermath of Iraq (and the continuing war there).
And it happened on 9/11.
The Iraqi army was no match for us. So they wouldn't play our game and adopted terrorist strategies. Iran understands better than any the use of irregular warfare and terrorism to try to achieve strategic objectives.
There are a variety of Christians in Iran, just like there were in Iraq. Many of the Christians are leaving or have left Iraq. It's just a matter of time for Iran.
