OLD QUESTION: WHY DOES ANYONE BECOME A JIHADIST? NEW QUESTION: WHY DOES ANYONE BECOME A LEFTIST?

THE LEFT HAVE ARGUED FOR YEARS THAT POVERTY AND THE REMNANTS OF COLONIALISM ARE WHAT CAUSE OTHERWISE PEACEFUL, SWEET, TOLERANT, PROGRESSIVE MUSLIMS TO BECOME JIHADISTS WHO BEHEAD PEOPLE OR BURN THEM ALIVE WITH SEEMINGLY PIOUS GLEE.

"IF THEY HAD JOBS, THEN THEY WOULDN'T BECOME JIHADISTS", THE PEOPLE ON THE LEFT TELL US.

IT'S A LOAD OF CRAP.

BINLADEN AND ZAWAHIRI AND ATTA (WHO LED THE 9/11 ATTACKS) WERE ALL EDUCATED AND WELL-TO-DO.

A JIHADIST IS AS LIKELY TO BE RICH AS HE IS POOR, EDUCATED AS IGNORANT.

BUT THEY ARE ALL DEVOUT MUSLIMS EMULATING THEIR PROPHET.

THE SEARCH FOR A HIDDEN REASON THESE PEOPLE CHOSE JIHADISM IS DRIVEN BY PUZZLEMENT:

IT IS STRANGE TO MOST PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE AFFLUENT, TOLERANT, POST-ENLIGHTENMENT WEST THAT, GIVEN THE CHOICE OF BEING AFFLUENT AND EDUCATED...

... ANYONE WOULD CHOOSE A DISCREDITED IDEOLOGY WHICH HAS FOR 1400 YEARS PROMULGATED AND REAPED POVERTY AND WAR, IGNORANCE, MISOGYNY, TERROR AND MAYHEM.

SO - TO EXPLAIN IT AWAY - LEFTISTS BLAME THEIR FAVORITE BOGEYMEN:

IMPERIALISM; COLONIALISM - WHICH IN  THEIR MINDS INCLUDES ISRAEL; AND WESTERN RACISM WHICH  - IN LEFTIST IDEOLOGY - CREATED THIRD WORLD POVERTY AND WIDESPREAD FEELINGS OF RESENTMENT IN THE THIRD WORLD AS A RESULT.

AGAIN: THIS IS JUST TOTAL CRAP.

WE MIGHT AS WELL AS WHY EDUCATED, AFFLUENT PEOPLE IN THE WEST BECOME LEFTISTS!

LEFTISM GAVE US STALIN AND HITLER, AND MAO, AND POL POT - EVEN SADDAM AND ASSAD WERE BAATHISTS AND BAATHISM IS SOCIALIST AND LEFTIST.

THE FACT IS THAT LEFTISM KILLED MORE PEOPLE IN THE 20TH CENTURY THAN ANY OTHER WESTERN IDEOLOGY IN THE PRECEDING 20 CENTURIES.

ONLY ISLAM HAS KILLED MORE PEOPLE, AND ISLAM IS NON-WESTERN AND THEY HAD 14 CENTURIES!

DESPITE THE GENOCIDAL NATURE OF LEFTISM, AND THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE ALWAYS FAILED TO DELIVER THE GOODS AND HAVE ALWAYS MADE ECONOMIES POORER...

MANY SO-CALLED INTELLECTUALS - MANY OF WHOM WERE WELL-TO-DO - CHOSE LEFTISM.

KIM PHILBY, BILL AYERS, ERNESTO GUEVARA, ALGER HISS, EVEN FRANCOIS HOLLANDE AND BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA JUNIOR WERE ALL EDUCATED AND RELATIVELY WEALTHY FOLKS WHO CHOSE TO FIGHT FOR AN IDEOLOGY WHICH HAS COMMITTED GENOCIDE AND IMPOVERISHED AND VIRTUALLY ENSLAVED HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.

WHY DID THEY DO THIS?

IS IT FOR THE SAME REASON OTHER HAVE CHOSEN JIHADISM?

I THINK IT IS.

I THINK THESE PEOPLE ARE EGOMANIACAL UTOPIANISTS WHO THINK THEY CAN BRING ABOUT A BETTER WORLD FOR EVERYONE - "WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT" - AND ARE SO SURE OF IT THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO LIE, CHEAT, MURDER, USE TERROR AND EVEN COMMIT TREASON AND GENOCIDE.

WHEN OBAMA LIED 30 TIMES AND TOLD US OVER AND OVER THAT "IF WE LIKED OUR HEALTHCARE, THEN WE COULD KEEP OUR HEALTHCARE - PERIOD ... " HE WAS WILLING TO LIE BECAUSE HE WAS CONVINCED HIS LEFTIST PROGRAM WAS FOR OUR OWN GOOD - DEMOCRACY AND TRUTH BE DAMNED.

IT IS THIS SENSE OF SUPERIORITY, ELITISM AND THE UTOPIANIST URGE THAT DRIVES SOME PEOPLE TO BECOME LEFTISTS AND OTHERS TO BECOME JIHADISTS.

LIBERTARIANS AND CONSERVATIVES ON THE OTHER HAND BELIEVE THAT HUMANS AND SOCIETY ARE IMPERFECTABLE.

THEREFORE LIBERTARIANS AND CONSERVATIVES ENDEAVOR TO CREATE NOT A PERFECT PLACE, BUT A "MORE PERFECT" ONE - ONE THAT ALLOWS INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES AS MUCH FREEDOM TO MAKE THEIR OWN LIVES WHAT THEY WANT THEM TO BE.

THAT'S WHY LIBERTARIAN AND CONSERVATIVES ARE SO ADAMANT ABOUT DEFENDING THE US DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND THE US CONSTITUTION:

BECAUSE THEY SPECIFICALLY LIMIT FEDERAL POWER AND GENERALLY LIMIT GOVERNMENTAL POWER WHILE ASSERTING THE INVIOLABILITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL.

NOT BECAUSE WE ARE EACH PERFECT, BUT BECAUSE WE ARE EACH UNIQUE AND IMPERFECT IN OUR OWN WAY.

AND THIS IS WHY OUR FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES AND STATES AND NATIONS ARE ALSO IMPERFECT.

WE MERELY HAVE TO RESPECT EACH OTHER'S INNATE RIGHTS AND DO OUR BEST TO GET ALONG TO THRIVE IN A SOCIETY OF GREATEST LIBERTY AND BOUNTY.

AFTER ALL, PROSPERITY IS A BY-PRODUCT OF LIBERTY.

WHAT KEEPS THIS FROM HAPPENING ARE THE UTOPIANIST BULLIES OF THE LEFT AND OF JIHADISM.

WE MUST DEFEAT BOTH.

I CHALLENGE ANYONE TO NAME ONE TIME THAT OBAMA PUT AMERICA'S INTEREST AHEAD OF EVERYONE ELSE'S

OBAMA HAS NEVER PUT OUR INTERESTS AHEAD OF EVERYONE ELSE'S.

OBAMA SEES HIMSELF AS LEADER OF THE "PROGRESSIVE WORLD", NOT POTUS, AND MOSTLY HE ACTS AS DEFENDER OF THE THIRD WORLD AND NOT DEFENDER OF THE FREE WORLD.

OBAMA WANTS THE USA TRANSFORMED BECAUSE HE THINKS IT SUCKS THE WAY IT IS.

AND DOES HE LOVE?THE USA? ??

NOPE.

IF YOU LOVE YOUR WIFE, THEN YOU DO NOT RUN ALL OVER THE WORLD COMPLAINING ABOUT HER AND MAKING EXCUSES FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO ABUSE HER.

HOW AND WHY SWEDEN BECAME THE RAPE CAPITOL OF EUROPE

Gatestone Institute explains how Sweden has turned into a massive rape center, ever since local politicians voted to turn it into a multicultural land in 1975, but in reality, they turned it into one of the West's sharia capitols.

RELIAPUNDIT ADDS: as ISIS has shown the world, rape is a tool of jihad. Not just in Syria and western Iraq....

GROVER NORQUIST'S ISLAMIST CONNECTIONS MAKE HIM UNSUITABLE FOR NRA MEMBERSHIP

Norquist's ties to Islamofascists have risen up as a subject for debate once again, and he's trying to defend himself by calling Frank Gaffney a nutcase:

Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) president Grover Norquist has written a letter to several members of the NRA’s board of directors fervently denying allegations of his ties to Muslim Brotherhood leaders as “conspiracies.”

Norquist is currently facing re-election for his position on the NRA’s board of directors, all while these accusations against him have come under renewed attention—and could dominate discussion of his NRA role in the coming weeks.

In the letter obtained by Breitbart News, Norquist accuses Center for Security Policy (CSP) president Frank Gaffney, a former official in Ronald Reagan’s Pentagon, of being a “stalker” he has had to endure for over a decade. Norquist’s letter comes as journalist and blogger Lee Stranahan—formerly of Breitbart News, now an independent journalist working for the new media product “Brought To Light”—alleged deeper ties between Norquist and radical Muslims. [...]

Norquist accused Gaffney of being someone who “spins conspiracy theories” that he is gay, a Muslim or “responsible for the Bush foreign policy failures.”

“For the record, No. No. and No,” Norquist wrote. “One of his staffers told me I was part of the Russian Jewish Mafia. (Also no, but I think that would pay better.)”

Man, he sure is resorting to liberal-style talking points, and very desperately at that. Norquist's accusations against Gaffney are not only cartoonish, they reveal he sides with a prior president who actually showed a lot of weakness with encroaching sharia back on the home turf.

“We reveal that powerful Republican insider Grover Norquist has close, previously unreported, ties to Palestinian anti-Israel activists,” Stranahan says to open the broadcast. “We’ll show you that Norquist has professional and family connections that stretch back decades that have been unknown until now because Norquist himself appears to have kept them quiet.”

Stranahan walked listeners through what had previously been reported about Norquist’s ties to Islamists and how he founded the Islamic Free Market Institute—Islamic Institute for short—with Khaled Saffuri. “But, Brought To Light can now reveal there is another co-founder of the Islamic Institute, one who has never been reported on before, a man named Majed Tomeh,” Stranahan said.

Continue reading more at the link. Men like Norquist are not qualified to work in the NRA with his shady connections, and he should be expelled from their board. Concerned members of the NRA should also lobby the board to remove him from their staff.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand and ISIS executions of Copts and the Jordanian Pilot

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand triggered WW1. It set in motion events that led to a world war.

Might the recent, videotaped executions by ISIS of Copts and the Jordanian pilot have the same effect?

I think they will - by setting in motion a series of ever-increasing retaliatory strikes by ISIS and Egypt and Kurds that will eventually draw in other countries, both as participants and as battlefields.

And sooner than you think...

The destruction f The Buddhas of Bamiyan was a horrific event and 9/11 was cataclysmic - you'd think they might have started a full-out global war.

And Islamo-terrorists have made more than 25,000 attack since 9/11 - all over the world, many as brutal the slaughter of the Copts in Libya and the Jordanian pilot, but none have had the effect that these and the recent attacks in Paris and Copenhagen have had.

These two attacks within two liberal multicultural cities seems to have FINALLY revealed to the masses and a few of the elites that the brutality and reach of islamist terror is VERY real and a major threat to our way of life.

And so it has increased the demand for substantial retaliation.

And then the enemy will escalates their retaliations, and then so will we, until it engulfs the world.

YES, yes: a global war by islamists has been going on since 1979, but we only fought back for a few years during the Bush administration.

Now perhaps, or soon, several nations will fight the enemy simultaneously.

Egypt, Jordan, Israel, And the USA, as soon as we get rid of Obama.

And then, if Iran gets the bomb...

HAYAO MIYAZAKI GOES DEFEATIST AGAIN

Anime scriptwriter/producer Miyazaki has decided to join the side of those who don't think Charlie Hebdo should've satirized Mohammed:

Speaking to Japanese media and reported on the Kotaku blog, Miyazaki said of the attacks: “For me, I think it’s a mistake to make caricatures of what different cultures worship. It’s a good idea to stop doing that.”

His comments go against much of the sentiment in the wake of the attacks, which is that while Charlie Hebdo’s cartoons were arguably offensive, the magazine’s right to publish them must be protected and championed.

Miyazaki added that satirists should focus on targets closer to home: “First and foremost, [caricatures] should be made of your own country’s politicians; it just looks suspect to go after political leaders from other countries.”

Well gee, they do it all the time there. Point: the "prophet" of Islam dwelled in the 7th century, not today. Still, if that's what he thinks, then why doesn't he complain about all the American and European press sources who constantly attack Israel's right-wing politicians for all the wrong reasons?

This is nothing new coming from Miyazaki. He was against the Iraq war, and even in his own anime films, he can't seem to make up his mind on various issues.

Since we're on the subject, a Japanese company that translated nazi/communist screeds is now coming up with a manga version of the Koran. And to make matters worse, their press release doesn't inspire confidence they'll be honest about it:

The Koran is the foundation of the daily life and ideology of people who believe in the teachings of Islam. The name Islam is often heard in the daily news, but because we Japanese aren't usually familiar with it, a perverted image [of Islam] as abstemious or linked to terrorism is liable to persist. So what kind of teachings do [Muslims] actually believe in? What are they thinking about? To understand the modern international community and Islam, let's try to experience the scriptures where all that is written down.

We already know about the modern world community; it's the Koran we don't. But from what East Press is saying here, I don't think you can count on them to translate it honestly and admit what turns up inside is horrific.

WHY NETANYAHU IS SPEAKING TO CONGRESS

The New York Post has a transcript of Benjamin Netanyahu's conference with presidents of major Jewish organizations, explaining why he's going to speak to Capitol Hill next month.

Update: and in semi-related news, new Georgia senator David Perdue paid a visit to Israel to voice his support for the state.

COMICS BEAT WANTS TO "REMIND" EVERYONE OF A DEBUNKED CLAIM ABOUT DISNEY

Two months ago, Comics Beat's Heidi Macdonald wrote a post where she perpetuated a claim that's now been mostly debunked that famous animator Walt Disney was a racist/sexist/antisemite, which Canadian writer Jeet Heer repeated as well. While there are some terribly dumb things Disney said in his time, however, the claims of sexism are at least half exaggerated, and film historian Neal Gabler was able to do research largely refuting claims Disney was even an antisemite/racist:

Hollywood historian Neal Gabler examined the anti-Semitism charge in his 2006 biography of Disney. “Of the Jews who worked [with Disney], it was hard to find any who thought Walt was an anti-Semite,” Gabler reported. “Joe Grant, who had been an artist, the head of the model department, and the storyman responsible for Dumbo... declared emphatically that Walt was not an anti-Semite. ‘Some of the most influential people at the studio were Jewish,’ Grant recalled, thinking no doubt of himself, production manager Harry Tytle, and Kay Kamen [head of Disney’s merchandising arm], who once quipped that Disney's New York office had more Jews than the Book of Leviticus. Maurice Rapf concurred that Walt was not anti-Semitic; he was just a ‘very conservative guy.’” [...]

Gabler also revealed that Disney “frequently” made unpublicized donations to a variety of Jewish charities, including a Jewish orphanage, a Jewish old age home, Yeshiva College (precursor to Yeshiva University), and the American League for a Free Palestine [Israel]. The League, better known as the Bergson Group, publicly supported the armed revolt against the British in Palestine by Menachem Begin’s Irgun Zvai Leumi. Disney was embracing not just Zionism, but its most militant wing.

That kind of info is bound to have a lot of real racists wanting to desecrate Disney's grave, I'm sure. But admittedly, it doesn't mean he was an entirely responsible person, and following next is the reason why the rumors he was an anti-semite spread around:

How, then, did the rumors of Disney's alleged anti-Semitism spread so far and wide?

That’s where Meryl Streep comes in. The “anti-Semitic industry lobbying group” with which Disney was associated was the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals. The group’s statement of principles said nothing about Jews; its declared purpose was to prevent “Communist, Fascist, and other totalitarian-minded groups” from gaining a foothold in Hollywood. Among its members were politically conservative actors such as John Wayne, Clark Gable, and Ginger Rogers. But some of its other members were accused of being privately anti-Semitic, and in general it had a reputation as being reactionary.

FUNNY OLD VIDEO: MASS MEDIA AND OBAMANISTA CAN'T CONNECT THE DOTS

IT WOULD BE MORE FUNNY IF IT WASN'T STILL SO TRUE:

DERSHOWITZ WARNS OBAMA COULD BECOME ANOTHER CHAMBERLAIN

Prof. Alan Dershowitz says that if Iran gets hold of nuclears, Obama could end up being seen the same way as Britain's worst premier during WW2:

Professor Alan Dershowitz, the renowned legal scholar from Harvard University, told Israel Hayom Tuesday that Barack Obama might go down as another Neville Chamberlain if Iran gets hold of a nuclear weapon.

Dershowitz said he hopes Obama has what it takes to avoid the missteps of the late disgraced British premier, whose efforts to appease the Nazi Germany only precipitated World War II.

He noted that the president had assured him over the years that the administration would not allow Iran to develop a nuclear bomb, although he remained unconvinced. According to Dershowitz, whether Obama will actually stick to his pledge is highly questionable. Dershowitz lamented that Obama's conduct has been a source of concern for quite some time, warning that a bad deal with Iran would be worse than no deal at all.

Dershowitz supports Netanyahu's decision to address Congress next month, saying the invitation he was issued was well within the legislative branch's prerogative. Congress has the right to hear what experts or world leaders have to say, even if they do not share the president's worldviews, Dershowitz emphasized. That is why Congress had the right to invite Netanyahu and the prime minister had every right to accept the invitation, Dershowitz said.

Yes, and it won't have any bad effect on US-Israel relations. What it can do is inform why Iran's nuclear development is dangerous for everyone, and any missiles they build could be very long-ranging, making them more deadly.

INFANT SURVIVOR OF TERROR ATTACK DIES FROM PNEUMONIA

A young girl who survived a terrorist attack has succumbed to illness, which her parents say may have been increased by the 2013 attack:

Adele Biton, a 5-year-old Israeli who was seriously wounded in a 2013 rock throwing terror attack, died on Tuesday.

Biton sustained a critical head injury in the March attack near the city of Ariel. In the incident, a group of Palestinians threw rocks at her family’s car, causing it to collide with a truck. Biton was only 3 years old at that time and spent 18 months in hospital due to the severity of her injuries. She was only able to return home six months ago.

Biton returned to hospital on Monday due to a deterioration in her health. She died of pneumonia, though her mother believes that the severity of her illness was magnified by the injuries the young girl sustained in 2013.

This is very sad. Please offer your condolences to the family.

THE NEW HAMAS CHILD ARMY

Khaled Abu Toameh writes about the children Hamas continues to train for jihad:

For the past several months, Hamas leaders have been complaining that they do not have enough money to rebuild the Gaza Strip in the aftermath of the last war with Israel.

However, it appears that Hamas does have enough funds to train, arm and indoctrinate thousands of young Palestinian men and boys.

While thousands of Palestinian families who lost their houses during the war continue to live in public shelters throughout the Gaza Strip, Hamas recently established 18 camps for military training.

The Hamas military training camps, under the motto "Vanguards of Liberation," have attracted some 17,000 Palestinian males aged 15-21. The young recruits were trained how to use various types of weapons, including pistols, rifles and mortars. They were also "educated" about the need to eliminate Israel and "restore Palestinian rights."

Samir Abu Aitah, a 15-year-old boy who joined the Hamas-run militia, said: "I now feel very happy because they trained me how to use weapons so that I could fight against the soldiers of the occupation. The Jews have killed thousands of innocent people and that's why I decided to join the path of jihad (holy war) and fight against them with weapons. We want to expel the Jews from our occupied country."

Another 15-year-old boy, Mahmoud al-Kurd, said he really enjoyed being trained with weapons at Hamas's camps. "Our enemy understands only one language – the language of swords."

Sometimes you have to wonder what's worse: guns or knives?

And it should be pretty obvious that much of the money they get is being used not to improve their already sharia-dictated enclave, but rather, to built a jihad army.

The Mystery Of The Stupid Blonde and Redheaded White People

These are the people the Obama Administration chooses to put out in front, to answer important questions of policy for Obama himself, and the State Department.

Jen Psaki and Marie Harf - State Dept. Spokesbimboes

Robert "Big Boy Burgers" Gibbs - Press Sec. to Obamanero

Jay "Howdy Doody" Carney - Press Sec. to Obamanation

Josh (The Importance of Being) Earnest - Press Sec. to Obamacles

Notice any similarities?

All five of these people are squeaky clean-looking white people who utterly lack gravitas, or a sense of personal power.

The puffy tedium of their faces screams, "Ignore me. I couldn't possibly have anything of importance to say."

In an Administration where important jobs are occupied by people who look like this,

and this,

and this,

one has to wonder why every spokesperson Obama chooses is the white equivalent of Steve Urkel, or some gay black TV Weather Man for a local evening news broadcast?

I started to notice this phenomenon right away, early in the Obama Administration. Watching Robert Gibbs' always befuddled appearance, I couldn't help think to myself, "Why would Obama, who is so conscious of image, choose this guy to speak for him day after day?"

Robert Gibbs looks like he couldn't convince his own mother to let him stay out 15 minutes later, much less convince American citizens of the merits of complex policy decisions.

And then, when Gibbs resigned, Obama doubled-down with Jay Carney. Carney's lack of charisma comes complete with a name seemingly chosen by some malicious trickster god to mock him into submission.

But Jay won't submit, no. Jay is too tough for that.

"My Mommy Doesn't Love Me Anymore"

And then, against all reason, Obama tripled down, appointing a third straight assclown, this time with the surrealistically ironic name of Josh Earnest.

WTF?

It's as if Obama is taunting us at this point.

But to what end?

I always wondered if Obama - (who seems to ascribe to that conspiratorial, Jeremiah Wright school of  White Devil History, in which caucasians have cruelly and repeatedly told the Black Man he was equal only to set him up for humiliating defeat) - might have decided to get back at the White Man by sticking the most ineffectual and useless-looking white people he could find out in front, to defend the policies of an Administration whose policies are completely indefensible.

But likely it is I who is being conspiratorial in my thinking.

I floated my idea to my wife this evening, and she responded, "No, I think it's much simpler than that. Obama hires people like that because that's just who Obama believes his audience is."

"What? Stupid white people?" I asked.

"Yes, exactly."

It might help you to know two things about my wife:

1) She is not white.

2) She fundamentally dislikes Obama far more than someone like myself.

I still think there must be some truth to my darker musings, however.

I'd be interested to hear what others think and have thought over the past few years, as you watch these Spokefools twaddle their way through Press Conference after Press Conference.

EXTRA BONUS POINTS:

CARDINAL DOLAN TELLS IT LIKE IT IS:

CARDINAL DOLAN: 

Along with Pope Francis and so many others, I was deeply saddened to learn of the latest violence by fanatics who see anybody who disagrees with them as their enemy. 

These attacks threaten civilization itself. 

Whether it’s a massacre in Paris, Indonesia, Nigeria, Syria, Iraq, Iran, India or now in Libya and Egypt, we keep saying, “How much worse can it get?” 

And then we woke up Monday morning to see that it did get worse, with this brutal massacre of these young Egyptian Christians in Libya. 

They were beheaded for nothing less than their religious convictions. It moves me to prayers. It moves me to tears, yes, as a Christian, but also as an American, who recognizes religious freedom as “our first and most cherished liberty.” 

No denying it: There is an orchestrated phobia of Christianity throughout the world today, a coordinated effort on behalf of fanatics to see that true religion which stands for friendship, peace, the dignity of the human person and the sacredness of human life, is stamped out. 

These aren’t sporadic attacks. This is part of an orchestrated fanaticism, an ideology that sees Christianity, Judaism and any religion of peace as the enemy.

THESE ORCHESTRATED ATTACKS WILL NOT STOP ON THEIR OWN.

THESE ISLAMISTS MUST BE MADE TO STOP - BY ERADIATING THEM.

WE ERADICATE THEM BY USING EVERYTHING IN OUR ARSENAL.

WHATEVER BEST GETS EACH JOB DONE.

THE SONER THE BETTER.

AFTER IRAN GETS A NUKE, IT WILL ONLY GET A LOT HARDER AND THE COSTS ONLY A LOT MORE HORRIFIC...

IN OTHER WORDS:

WE MUST COUNTER-ATTACK WITH NO HOLDS BARRED.

TOTAL WAR.

SHARIA UNDER ISIS GETS WORSE FOR WOMEN

Women are now required to wear a double veil in Iraq and Syria:

Women living under Islamic State’s control in Iraq and Syria are facing increasingly harsh restrictions on movement and dress, which are rigorously enforced by religious police and are leading to resentment and despair among moderate Muslims.

Residents of Mosul, Raqqa and Deir el-Zour said women are forced to be accompanied by a male guardian, known as a mahram, at all times, and are compelled to wear double-layered veils, loose abayas and gloves.

Their testimonies follow the publication this month of a “manifesto” to clarify the “realities of life and the hallowed existence of women in the Islamic State”. It said that girls could be married from the age of nine, and that women should only leave the house in exceptional circumstances and should remain “hidden and veiled”.

Sama Maher (20), a resident of Raqqa who has been detained several times by religious police, known as Hisbah, for violating Islamic State rules, said: “It is prohibited for a woman in Raqqa or Deir el-Zour to move anywhere outside without a mahram, a male guardian. It is a big problem as I do not have any, we are only five sisters.”

Islamic State has closed universities in areas under its control, she added. “I had to quit my university studies in Aleppo because I’m not allowed to cross the checkpoints without a mahram and leave the city by myself like before.”

Male guardians are subject to punishment if women are not complying with the prescribed dress code. In Mosul, the group published a charter within weeks of taking taking control of the city, restricting women’s movements and imposing dress requirements. Women were instructed to wear a Saudi-style black veil of two layers to conceal their eyes and a loose robe designed by Islamic State after it said some abayas revealed body outlines.

Sickening. Welcome to the new middle east, where women are stripped of independence and ability to think for themselves.

URI ORBACH, RIP

Government minister Uri Orbach has died from a rare blood disease, much too young:

Israeli Senior Citizens Minister Uri Orbach (Habayit Hayehudi), 54, died Monday at the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, where he had been hospitalized for more than a month.

Orbach had suffered from a serious blood disorder for years and was hospitalized in January after his condition took a turn for the worse. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “Uri won the hearts of everyone with his charm and wisdom. He was incredibly sensitive to people, a sensitivity he brought with him to the Senior Citizens Ministry, and to anything he took interest in.”

He wrote several children's books and once edited a magazine for them, and was a very admirable man in the time he'd worked. It's a shame he had to succumb to illness too young in his life.

FULL SCALE SURREPTITIOUS INVASION OF ITALY BY ISIS HAS BEGUN

BBC:

Conditions at a migrant reception centre on the island of Lampedusa are "getting desperate", an Italian official has told the BBC. There are now more than 1,000 men, women and children housed at the centre, which is over double its capacity.Some 2,700 migrants have been rescued from the Mediterranean since Saturday, the UN's refugee agency (UNHCR) said. Boats carrying more people are due to dock at Lamepdusa later on Tuesday. The influx has added more pressure to the already overflowing reception centre.

THIS HUGE INFLUX OF MUSLIMS FROM ACROSS THE MEDITERRANEAN MIGHT INCLUDE SOME REAL REFUGEES...

... BUT I SUSPECT THAT MOST OF THE MEN ARE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER ITALY TO ACCOMPLISH THIS:

ISIS PROMISES TO CONQUER ROME.

AND THEY ARE USING LIBYA AS THEIR GATEWAY.

DAILY BEAST:

Last weekend in Italy, as the threat of ISIS in Libya hit home with a new video addressed to “the nation signed with the blood of the cross” and the warning, “we are south of Rome,” Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi shuttered up the Italian embassy in Tripoli and raised his fist with the threat of impending military action.  Never mind that Italy has only 5,000 troops available that are even close to deployable, according to the defense ministry. Or that the military budget was cut by 40 percent two years ago, which has kept the acquisition of 90 F-35 fighter jets hanging in the balance and left the country combat-challenged to lead any mission—especially one against an enemy like the Islamic State. 

In fact, Renzi didn’t specify exactly who would wield that military might, and, two days later, when no one volunteered to lead the charge, he backtracked.  “It’s not the time for a military intervention,” Renzi told an Italian television station Monday night and said the United Nations had to lead the way.  “Our proposal is to wait for the UN Security Council. The strength of the UN is decidedly superior to that of the radical militias.” 

Whether the time is right or not, there is no question that there is a palpable tension in Italy over the ISIS threat—Libya is just 109 miles away from the island of Lampedusa and 300 miles from Sicily—made worse by a 64 percent increase in illegal migrant arrivals by sea since last year.  In all of 2014, more than 170,000 people arrived from Libya and Turkey, the highest number ever recorded.   

170,000?!?!?!? THIS UNDOUBTEDLY INCLUDES AT LEAST 1000 TERRORISTS.

EACH ONE WILLING TO BECOME SUICIDE BOMBER AND LOOKING FORWARD TO CUTTING YOUR HEAD OFF OR BURNING YOU ALIVE.

THEY'RE PROBABLY USING "REFUGEE" STATUS TO SEND THOUSANDS AS "IMMIGRANTS" TO THE USA, TOO.

THE PARIS AND COPENHAGEN ATTACKS REVEAL A HUGE SECURITY PROBLEM

Both of these attacks were a complete surprise and none of the attackers - though known to authorities - have been shown to belong to an organized cell under central or even hierarchical command. Hence they've been called by many "lone wolf attacks".

Rather than reveal the decentralized and spontaneous nature of the enemy's strategy, these attacks may very well reveal that the enemy now has cells across the globe that can avoid detection and that they have found ways to communicate, train and command terrorists without detection.

I suspect that Obama's systematic dismantling of our clandestine defense apparatus is why.

This won't be repaired until we no longer have islamo-appeasers in the OVAL OFFICE and heading the CIA.

And even then, it will take months to fix. So  between now and 2017, I expect several attacks here in the USA like the ones in Paris and Copenhagen, and even a mega-attack.

The enemy knows this. And Obama either couldn't care less,  or is smiling inside.

ELIE WIESEL DEFENDS NETANYAHU'S SPEECH FOR WASHINGTON

We're lucky to still have an old pro like Wiesel around who can understand what's at stake:

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel, 86, is known as one of the clearest voices advocating for the victims of the Holocaust. Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor himself, has devoted his life not only to the commemoration of Holocaust victims but also to the various peoples of the world who at different times in history also faced extermination attempts. It happened in Rwanda, Darfur and Bosnia. It happened to the Armenians. It is happening today in Iraq, in Syria and to the Kurdish people.

Together with his longtime friend Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, Wiesel recently decided to enlist for a cause no less important: preventing future catastrophes. Wiesel has been warning against the future catastrophe known as a nuclear Iran for many years. It is precisely for this reason that Wiesel, at Boteach's urging, ran full-page ads in The New York Times and The Washington Post, warning his friend Barack Obama, the president of the United States, not to sign a dangerous agreement with Iran and allow it to become a nuclear threshold state.

In an interview with Israel Hayom, Wiesel strongly sided with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to address the U.S. Congress on the issue, despite controversy and White House disapproval. Wiesel declared in the ad that he would be attending the speech, scheduled for March 3, and urged Obama to join him.

This was a rare call, made by one Nobel Peace Prize laureate to another, to change direction, put politics aside, and realize that the real danger is Iran and not Netanyahu's address.

Continue reading at the link. Wiesel's doing the right thing to stand by Israel at a time when serious crises are taking place, and make clear what the real problems are.

Besides Wiesel, senator Marco Rubio's also defended Netanyahu's mission, and asks the Democrats not to boycott his speech to Congress:

"[Netanyahu] doesn't have the luxury of living an illusion," Rubio said. "He doesn't have the luxury of pretending that somehow we can work this out as if somehow we're negotiating with Luxembourg here, or Belgium. He knows the neighborhood he lives in, and he knows his enemy. He knows their true nature. He knows their true intentions. And it is his obligation, not just to protect his people but to fight for that nation's very existence. ...

"You have your right to voice your concerns, but don't do this to an ally, don't do this to a nation that is as threatened today as it has ever been at any time in its existence. Don't do this to a people that are in the cross hairs of multiple terrorist groups with the capability of attacking them. Don't do this to a nation whose civilians are terrorized by thousands of rockets launched against them at a moment's notice. Don't do this to them."

Charles Schumer's agreed with him, and he'll be attending the speech.

MORE VERIFICATION THAT LABOR'S CAMPAIGN MANAGERS BLEW IT

Here's another article noting how the "Zionist Camp" failed with their campaign:

In an attempt to revive a moribund campaign, the Zionist Camp has hired Reuven Adler to be its chief strategist, just over a month ahead of the March 17 Knesset elections.

The hiring of Adler, a former strategist for Kadima who has worked with Tzipi Livni and the late Ariel Sharon, is an additional sign of disarray within the Zionist Camp campaign. Zionist Camp officials told Israel Hayom that the heads of the campaign have completely failed in their management of the operation. The campaign is also riven with internal conflicts. In recent days, campaign manager Eitan Levin, of the Peer Levin PR firm, sent out a scathing e-mail in which he accused "internal enemies" of "spreading lies, leaks, slander and rumors."

This only further confirms that their campaign isn't having the impact they hoped it would. And employing somebody who once worked for traitors as a current campaign manager isn't an encouraging sign either.
