Our determined enemy
Original date 11/1/2010
The USA faces a determined enemy.
It would be imprudent not to realize that little by little our murderous enemies, radical Islamists, are increasing their attacks on the US Homeland week after week.
And little by little, this pressure will build with the hopeful result that we might finally begin to realize in our country that we really are under siege, just like the people in Bagdad, Kabul and other such places.
Also never forget that, in the radical Islamists’ opinion, we are the “big Satan” and consequently we are the ultimate target.
The question is: “what are we (our Government) doing about this growing threat”.
In essence, not very much, it seems.
Sure we have improved our intelligence gathering somewhat, but as the recent 3 attempts at mayhem here have shown, they were nipped in the butt at the last minute by luck, more than by design. We are now forced to suspect most, if not all flights with a direct or indirect flight-plan from a foreign location. I question whether we have adequate, up to the minute intelligence to guide us to a problem flight. And what about cruise ships?
Now there’s a target!
Add to this not only chemical and biological threats but what of the noise levels in the media lately about Russian EMP weaponry, known as CLUB-X, that will shortly be available to any rogue state. These weapons can be concealed in trucks, ships, containers, RR cars etc. One might conclude that somebody, Russia, might believe there is a market for the use of these things. Potential targets: Israel and the United States. No one else counts.
Our dedicated enemies and their weapons’ suppliers are ready to execute, provided the money is available. May be we have more enemies than we realize and a government that is scared and unqualified to deal with these existential threats to our existence as a nation. So what options do we have? Few actually.
With only a mere handful of Arab speaking intelligence professionals we are utterly dependant on foreign sources, many of which of questionable loyalty and competence.
So far and more importantly, our Government has utterly failed to begin a systematic information campaign to bring the public up to speed about the rapidly growing fifth
column activities right here at home and what we should do about it. While there is no question about the fact that Islamic Radicalism, an offshoot of Wahhabism in Saudi Arabia is determined to conquer the Western World for Islam, it is still a term few people are familiar with and may not even associate with our fighting in the Middle East. Everybody knows about terrorists, al-Qaeda types or Taliban types and the Muslim Brotherhood, but not where this fanaticism comes from. And until our government spells it out and connects the dots and the media regularly and truthfully report on this international evil, we will not be successful in coping with it definitively, at our peril.
The public at large does not have any idea about how much radical Islamists have already penetrated our US homeland. Many Governmental departments have relationships with Islamic front groups, like CAIR, who merely serve as the manageable tip of a potentially explosive radical Islamic volcano.
Some people ask, “if Islamic radicalism is so threatening why aren’t there people in the Muslim community who stand up and say that publicly”? The reason is simply that the better part of the Muslim community in this country is already under Sharia law which allows the radical men to make sure nobody complains and thus they maintain a “peaceful” façade to their American environment. This has been going on for many years already and may be seen as a growing fifth column brigade being made ready for the day when they all have to play their part in “conquering” the country. Our country.
And don’t believe that this is a preposterous idea! Our enemies are past masters at obfuscation and working underground, out of sight for many years to eventually gain their nefarious ends. Many years before, as well as during WW II, the Russian communists did the same thing by placing spies in places of interest to them in the USA, resulting in all the new nuclear technology we were developing in Chicago, Oak Ridge, Los Alamos etc. to reach Moscow in short order. No wonder it only took Moscow a few years after the war to explode their first A-bomb.
Today radical Muslims are spreading more deeply into our government’s most critical places not to forget the idiocy of NASA being charged to make nice with Muslims. Our government doesn’t want to hear anything critical about Islam. Why not? Because key people in our Administration protect Islam from criticism. That’s why you do not hear that Islam’s radicalized people are a threat to any western society and that it behooves us, to deal with this threat aggressively.
The head man of our enemy, Osama bin Laden, declared war on us in 1996 but our Government, does not think it sufficiently important to make sure that everyone knows the score. America is not the attacker but radical Islam is, such as the Muslim Brotherhood and its various offspring, the Taliban and al-Qaeda operations that have been our deadly enemies for many years already. Those people are determined to destroy us and maybe themselves as well, although that doesn’t bother them. They “love death” they claim. Peculiar, unreliable and dangerous people and contrary to what many of our leading politicians have been saying their form of Islam is not peaceful.
We are now forced to suspect most, if not all flights with a direct or indirect trajectory from a foreign location. Because we only have a rare few qualified Arabic speaking, American intelligence gatherers in the Middle East we are very dependent on local English speaking sources, many of questionable loyalty and competence.
May be we have more enemies than we realize and a Government that is scared to tune in to these dangers because they would have to think about defending us against them. And that’s one subject our Administration does not consider important.
Not a pretty picture. Maybe the coming elections will shift the political power situation in Washington a bit to nudge the Government in doing what really needs to be done which is to publicly realize who our enemies are and take all necessary measures, domestically as well as internationally.
