America has been transformed and we have entered the Twilight Zone. It certainly feels like another dimension when in the post 9/11 era the president of the United States, wearing a tan suit, announces that he does not have a strategy yet to deal with the Islamic State or ISIS or ISIL, the Islamic terrorist group storming across Iraq and raising new followers ready to wage Jihad across the globe.
President Obama admitted that “we don’t have a strategy yet” to combat ISIS. “I don’t want to put the cart before the horse,” the commander-in-chief said this week during a White House press briefing. “I think what I’ve seen in some of the news reports suggest that folks are getting a little further ahead of what we’re at than what we currently are.”
The president made these statements after a summer of ISIS expansion and bloodshed reached such a crescendo that he was forced to act when thousands of Christian Iraqis were crying out for help from a lonely mountain top. They were given the choice of convert to Islam or die. It was plainly obvious then as it now that the president did not desire to act against the newly reestablished caliphate of the Islamic State.
Just hours after the President of the United States announced to the world that America had no strategy, the world went on high alert.
Great Britain faces the “greatest and deepest” terror threat in the country’s history, David Cameron warned as he pledged emergency measures to tackle extremists.
The UK threat level was raised to “severe” — its second highest — meaning that a terrorist attack is “highly likely” in light of the growing danger from British jihadists returning from Iraq and Syria.
The Prime Minister said that the risk posed by ISIS or ISIL (the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) will last for “decades” and raised the prospect of an expanding terrorist nation “on the shores of the Mediterranean”.
He disclosed that Isil had made “specific” threats against the UK and did not rule out military action to tackle the growing problem.
The warning came as it emerged that a laptop seized from Isil in Syria contained research on how to make a biological bomb and religious justification to use it against civilians.
On Monday, Mr Cameron will unveil a number of “uncompromising” measures to help tackle British jihadists and fill the “gaps in our armoury”.
It sounds as if Great Britain is developing a strategy to deal with ISIS, even if it may be too little too late.
Back in the United States we have failed to change our threat level even as reports are coming out that ISIS is at our wide open southern border.
Judicial Watch has just put out this statement:
Islamic terrorist groups are operating in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez and planning to attack the United States with car bombs or other vehicle born improvised explosive devices (VBIED). High-level federal law enforcement, intelligence and other sources have confirmed to Judicial Watch that a warning bulletin for an imminent terrorist attack on the border has been issued. Agents across a number of Homeland Security, Justice and Defense agencies have all been placed on alert and instructed to aggressively work all possible leads and sources concerning this imminent terrorist threat.
Specifically, Judicial Watch sources reveal that the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) is confirmed to now be operating in Juarez, a famously crime-infested narcotics hotbed situated across from El Paso, Texas. Violent crimes are so rampant in Juarez that the U.S. State Department has issued a number of travel warnings for anyone planning to go there. The last one was issued just a few days ago.
The administration has also covered up, or at the very least downplayed, a serious epidemic of crime along the Mexican border even as heavily armed drug cartels have taken over portions of the region. Judicial Watch has reported that the U.S. Border Patrol actually ordered officers to avoid the most crime-infested stretches because they’re “too dangerous” and patrolling them could result in an “international incident” of cross border shooting. In the meantime, who could forget the famous words of Obama’s first Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano; the southern border is “as secure as it has ever been.”
Surely, the FBI is monitoring the terrorist treat, they must be aware of ISIS activities and given its assessment of these dangers. Well, not according to its most recent national threat assessment for domestic terrorism. Islamic groups are no where to be found.
Instead, the internal FBI intelligence report concluded in its 2013 assessment published this month that the threat to U.S. internal security from extremists is limited to attacks and activities by eight types of domestic extremist movements—none motivated by Islam.
While President Obama and our anti-terrorist infrastructure is downplaying, ignoring and just plain joining these threats even the Islamic world recognizes the truth.
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has warned that the West will be the next target of the jihadists sweeping through Syria and Iraq, unless there is “rapid” action.
“If we ignore them, I am sure they will reach Europe in a month and America in another month,” he said in remarks quoted on Saturday by Asharq al-Awsat daily and Saudi-backed Al-Arabiya television station.
“Terrorism knows no border and its danger could affect several countries outside the Middle East,” said the king who was speaking at a welcoming ceremony on Friday for new ambassadors, including a new envoy from Saudi ally the United States.
The U.S. intelligence community has observed a “significant increase” in chatter among terrorist organizations as the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks nears.
“We’ve noticed a significant increase in chatter among Islamic terrorist organizations overseas both on the Internet and phone lines,” a U.S. government official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
While the intelligence community can not pinpoint whether or not an attack is planned, the official said that agencies “did see this kind of increase in chatter before the September 11 attacks.”
The President of the United States continues to engage in fundraising activities this weekend even as the threat to America is greater than ever before. I would not be surprised if he broke out a fiddle at some point just to complete the image started by the tan suite.
America has made its choice. We have chosen a president and Senate who are more concerned about climate change than the clear and present danger of Islamists bent on destroying our country. As was true with Rome, we are being destroyed from within before being destroyed from without.
