The Awful Truth: The World is at War
AmericanThinker.com ^ | James Lewis

Posted on 09/08/2014 7:03:14 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

American Thinker and other commentary sites have been covering the Jihad War in great detail. But a coherent overview only came together for me after visiting the Long War Journal’s Threat Matrix, sponsored by the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy.

The Threat Matrix helps us to see worldwide jihadist violence.

In just the last two weeks we see jihadist warfare in:

  1. Nigeria (Boko Haram)
  2. Iraq and Syria (ISIS, Assad and Hezb’ollah)
  3. Gaza (Hamas)
  4. Sinai Desert (Ansar Jerusalem against Egypt)
  5. Afghanistan (Taliban)
  6. India (Al Qaida)
  7. Pakistan (Waziristan terrorists)
  8. Iraq (Iranian-sponsored terrorist group, “League of the Righteous”)
  9. Libya (Libya Dawn Coalition and others)
  10. Somalia (Al Shabaab)
  11. Syria again (Al Nusrah, AQ affiliate)
  12. Iran (International Shi’ite terror sponsor, using Hezb’ollah and Quds Brigade).
  13. Qatar and Saudi Arabia (Sunni terror-sponsors, including Hamas)
  14. Turkey appears to be a major sponsor of ISIS,. It is run by an Islamofascist regime.
These groups operate in the Gulf region, in Asian countries like Pakistan and Afghanistan, and in North Africa. We could add the Uyghurs in China and the Chechens in Russia.

We could easily add Europe, the United States, Israel and Russia as targets of Islamist terror strikes, including 9/11 in Manhattan, the British Underground bombing, the Madrid train bombing, massive car burnings in Paris, the Beslan and Moscow Theater attacks, in the UK, the massive Pakistani child rape scandal just uncovered in Rotherham.

And the typical leftist will, while in the process of being beheaded by one of these koranimals, plead “B-b-but I thought you all were moderate muslims...”

For decades, most of the wars/fights have involved at least one aspect of the RoP.

WW 3.0 began on the morning of 9-11! It was a continuation of WW 1.0 and WW 2.0. which really never ended. IMHO

Islam is on the march, and this is but a revival of the Crusades of the Middle Ages. Only, the crusaders are actively joining into the Jihadist forces, while the target, the now de-Christianized West, stands seemingly helpless before the onslaught.

In an oddity of history, the Russian Federation is undergoing a re-introduction of Orthodox Christianity, at the very same time Christianity is fading away in Western Europe and on the North American continent. As the flame of the Christianity flickers, small enclaves of Islam are springing up in the vacuum, attracting and converting large numbers of the children of the West, creating a fifth column within those very same Western countries.

Islam is by no means an inevitable or even desirable alternative to the more civilized religious doctrines, but there is a lot more passion devoted to its dissemination and expansion than is given the other religious entities. The biggest lie in the spread of Islam is the designation as “the religion of peace”. The peace of the grave, perhaps, but the only other alternative they offer is eternal slavery of fifty percent of the human race, the female gender, which is given NO power within Islam, and another forty or so percent of the male population that falls under the domination of the Shariah law, but do not convert to the Islamic cult. For paying jizyah, a per capita tax levied on a section of an Islamic state’s non-Muslim subjects, who meet certain criteria, the Dhimmi are permitted to practice their own form of religion, but only if they acknowledge that Allah is superior to the deities to whom they pray. Otherwise, they are essentially slaves to the Noble Islamic Gentlemen, who practice wholeheartedly the chapter and verse of the Koran, including all the barbarities and cruelties prescribed by a sun-crazed old sand hermit, suffering from a form of paranoid schizophrenia.

Anybody who does not fit into these defined categories, but who has the temerity to defy the Noble Islamic Gentlemen, is declared to be “kafir” or the “infidel”, subject to immediate execution. No appeals, no delays, no extenuating circumstances, and no pardon.

Is this the future you want? Because, unless the West rallies to suppressing and driving out this Islamic mindset, this is the future you will have.

Hitler almost won, you know, and if D-Day at Normandy had not succeeded, he almost certainly would have. But that victory came at a fearsome price for the Allied Expeditionary Forces.

We may have to pay a similar or even greater price again.

Add to this, the U.S. is being invaded and our government is on the side of our enemies against the American people.

As my step-dad likes to remind people. A Democrat president got us into WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam. Expect nothing different today.

Ezekiel 28:
"being swollen with pride, you have said: I am god; I am sitting on the throne of God, surrounded by the seas; though you are a man and not a god, you consider yourself the equal of God; you are wiser now than Daniel; there is no sage as wise as you; by your wisdom and your intelligence you have amassed great wealth; you have piles of gold and silver inside your treasure-houses; such is your skill in trading, your wealth has continued to increase, and with this your heart has grown more arrogant; since you consider yourself the equal of God, very well, I am going to bring foreigners against you, the most barbarous of the nations;

"they will draw sword against your fine wisdom, they will defile your glory; they will throw you down into the pit and you will die a violent death surrounded by the seas; are you still going to parade as the High Priest clad in silver and gold? are you still going to say: I am a god, a Prophet, when your murderers confront you? no, you are a man, and not a god, in the clutches of your murderers! and you will die like the godless at the hand of the foreigners;

"you were once an exemplar of perfection, full of wisdom, perfect in beauty; you were in Eden, in the garden of God, in the Core of My Sanctuary, but your busy trading has filled you with violence and sin; you have corrupted your wisdom owing to your splendor; by the immense number of your sins, by the dishonesty of your trading, you have defiled My Sanctuary;"

Sound about right? Now, just for fun, read Revelation 18.

Agreed. We’re in a battle for our souls...evil just morphs from one entity to another, it is all continuous. We tend to compartmentalize things, a surrender is considered to be an “end” to a conflict.

Hitler met with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem...demons on the same side. Islam is worse than Nazism ever was, especially because you’re not allowed to call it out.

With the current laws in the UK, as I understand it, if you speak out against Islam it is considered “racism”, which can lead to jail time. If the Nazi’s, a political and white supremacist movement, were just emerging today how would these current laws not apply? People compartmentalize “religion” as a single thing, it is not. When a religion is as much a political and legal/ethics basis for a society you *must* be able to freely call a spade a spade. We are surrendering without a shot, without being able to even criticize the evil living among us.

The world has been at war since the days of Muhammed. We had a hiatus for the last couple centuries while the Orcs were weak. Now they have built up their population and forces on western oil money, and are starting up again. I think they are a little early, and may only serve to wake up the west while it can still do something about it. But with the traitors in our midst, we may not be able to act, and someday, it will be too late.

Putin, we can handle. His power is nuclear. He won't mess with us on that front. Sure, he can take back the Soviet empire as long as we have pansies in the White Hut. But that won't change things much, except for the poor bastards who live in Putin's territory.

I disagree with the premise that oil money corruption is the reason for the religious war we now find ourselves in.

No, it is simply that most of us cannot give credence to the proposition that there are hundreds of millions of Muslims that are really serious about their jihad and actually want to force us to convert, become enslaved or kill us.

It is such a medieval concept that we can’t quite get our minds around it—and of course the liberals keep telling us it isn’t true, to ignore everything they say and do and all will be well.

Well, oil money funded the universities where islamic studies foundations spread lies about our enemy and sent the jihadi leadership to engineering schools.

So the oil money is an important point of this modern jihad.

As reference...look at Harvard, Chicago, Colombia and Georgetown.

And look at the speakers on Islam in the Great Courses DVD's...all muslim apologists--all liars.

The problem isn’t Obama, it is the money that placed him and the rest of the world’s Manchurian candidates. There is a reason nothing makes sense. It’s a show.

“At this level, the worlds of banking, diplomacy, industry, intelligence, and the various policy institutes and foundations all mesh together, and there, in the middle of it all, is Kodmani,” Skelton pointed out, noting that billionaire leftist financier George Soros, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Goldman Sachs International Chairman Peter Sutherland, as well as countless military and intelligence bosses from the West, were all tied to the “Arab Reform Initiative” in various ways. “A picture is emerging of Kodmani as a trusted lieutenant of the Anglo-American democracy-promotion industry.” Indeed.”

That report is one of the most informative perspectives I have read so far. I don’t really understand the “Shadow Government”, but at this point, I have NO doubt, there is one on a Global level. This is all about money and control.

The fact that a President can secretly pull out $29 TRILLION USD of tax payers money out of the Federal Reserve, and give it to banks, without the media even blinking is sinister.

The media obediently spewing our White House talking points as news a la Benghazi, is much more ominous to me than the news itself.

That money went to banks laundering drug money, and even those caught during the 9-11 investigations financing terrorism.
HSBC’s activities in Saudi Arabia were brought into question in the report, specifically referencing banking with Al Rajhi Bank. The investigation claims the Saudi bank has links to financing terrorism based on evidence gathered after the September 11 attacks.

Another interesting trend in Obama’s America not being reported, has a direct correlation with NATO presence in Afghanistan.

The Ukraine is strategically located drug trafficking and money laundering hub. It is for EU, what Mexico is to the US. What we are seeing are gangster turf wars at the national leadership level. Everything taking place around the world can be linked back to the $ TRILLION drug trafficking market and the bank cartels.

In a 2009 speech to his fellow elitists, Zbigniew Brzezinski, foreign advisor to LBJ, Carter, and Obama, said, “It Is Infinitely Easier to Kill a Million People than it is to Control Them”. He is on video and can’t deny what he said, as he has done with his other statements.
