Terrorist group ISIS has claims to have hacked the State Department and the United States Army. Not only that, but they’ve put out a gruesome propaganda video detailing what their plans are now that they have “information.
The infamous terror group claims in the video it is sending assassins to employees’ homes. The footage was released by ISIS hacking group Islamic Ghosts of the Caliphate shows series of American websites with data it claims to have hacked from them, according to the Daily Mail. One of the boldest claims in their video is that ISIS is sending lone wolf assassins to employees’ homes.
The video declares: “Muslims will return to being masters of the world and kings of the earth.” It starts with disturbing images of maimed or killed Syrian and Iraqi children while a voice says in Arabic: “The Islamic State did not start the war against you and you will pay a great price as your sons will return to you as amputees or in coffins.”
As scenes of war, bombings, and terror attacks flash on the screen, the narrating voice continues. “You will pay a price as you walk along your streets fearing Muslims. We will attack your homeland – you will not even feel secure in your bedrooms.” The video then brings up a message in English and Arabic reading, which reads: “We were able to hack sensitive sites of the US Army, the Interior Ministry, the State Department, and other government sites, and we were able to get thousands of your confidential information. We have sent the information to our lone wolves to assassinate you and to increase frequent jihadist operations against you.“
According to the Daily Mail, the video then shows a series of American websites with the names and addresses of employees which the group claims to have gotten after hacking the sites. The examples of hacked websites shown in the video are not from the State Department or US Army but other lower-security sites including the Geological Society of Nevada and the National Caves Association.
Hamas leader Ismail Haniya has said the United States decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is a “war declaration against Palestinians.” And Haniya has called for a new “Intifada”, or uprising because of it.
Haniya said in a speech in Gaza City on Thursday that President Donald Trump‘s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital has “killed” the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.”This decision has killed the peace process, has killed the Oslo [accord], has killed the settlement process,” he said. “The US decision is an aggression, a declaration of war on us, on the best Muslim and Christian shrines in the heart of Palestine, Jerusalem. We should work on launching an intifada in the face of the Zionist enemy,” Haniya said.
Hours after his speech, Palestinian protesters took to the streets of the occupied West Bank cities, including Ramallah, Hebron, and Nablus, as well as in the Gaza Strip, to violently vent their frustration at the decision. “Jerusalem, all of Jerusalem, is ours,” said Haniya. “We are here today at a critical point in the history of the Palestinian issue and the core of the issue is Jerusalem, a critical point in the history of the Arab and Muslim nations following the provocative decision, the unfair decision adopted by the US administration.”
Ignoring warnings from the international community Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that the US formally recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and will begin the process of moving its embassy to the city. On Thursday, in response to Trump’s announcement, Mustafa Barghouti, the secretary-general of the Palestinian National Initiative, speaking to Al Jazeera from Ramallah, said that Trump was “joining Israel in the war crimes and in confirming the annexation of the occupied Palestinian Territories. I hope that the Palestinian Authority will not accept to meet with this American team anymore,” he said.
“Israel decided it wants everything. They want everything? Fine. We will also fight for everything,” he said. “We might be talking about a popular wide uprising but non-violent one, similar to the first intifada. That’s what we need. Israelis should see the Palestinian resistance everywhere.”
Normally this topic is covered “gingerly,” and with the 1st Amendment of the Constitution having been “subverted” by political-social “correctness” doctrines, it is sure to draw unwanted attention. Europe is the prime example of what is coming to the United States. Countries such as Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, and France…the heart of Warrior-Crusader Europe in Medieval times…have absolutely kowtowed to what is nothing less than a Muslim invasion. This modern invasion makes Saladin’s armies pale in comparison.
The news is reporting the “giveaway” of traditionally Christian lands of European states to Muslim aliens crossing borders ceaselessly: on foot, by train, by plane, by car…by boat. This is a mass exodus in all directions, targeting all nations. Oligarchs such as Soros, and Politicos such as Merkel are fostering this exodus, backed up by the International Court of The Hague.
The socialist-progressives want to destroy the ethnic homogeneity and religion, language, and culture of these nations to usher in globalism with the goal of “railing in and controlling” the Islamist extremists later (an “organizing the organized” strategy of Alinsky).
It will backfire on them. The Islamists will come in and establish a foothold, and anyone that does not submit among the “unbelievers” (the al-Harb, as non-Muslims are called) will be dealt with. Dar al-Harb is the “house of war,” phonetically translated from the Arabic. Take note of a close similarity to dal al-Garb, or “house of the west.” The two are interchangeable, due to the philosophy/doctrine that holds for jihad, or “Holy War,” an institution of warfare meant to extend the rule of Islam into the dar-al-harb…into the lands of the gentile unbelievers.
Guess what? They’re doing it. America is beset from within by communists and socialists under the guise of “progressivism” who wish to completely destroy the borders, language, and culture of the United States. Their plan to use Alinsky’s “organizing the organized” and then deal with the Islamists later?
It is being used by the Islamists on them, in reverse.
Here is what they see: the proof of what is in the heart of the average man. I present to you a “heated discourse” between two individual commenters on Tess Pennington’s Ready Nutrition website. You can visit the comments section under the article How Natural Aids Can Lessen Your Chances of Contracting the Pneumonic Plague. Read this, between commenters “Raj” (the Islamist) and “Yoda Dunbar” (the Christian). The first comment (posted by Raj) was highly profane and “disguised/propped up” with intentional misspelling. We’ll skip it, and proceed to the important parts (complete with pictures):
Raj to Yoda Dunbar: “The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers.” [Photo posted by Raj]
Yoda Dunbar to Raj: “You can have all the mosques, etc you like we have the most High God, His Son and the Holy Ghost, we don’t need anymore than that
We pray for your soul to find true salvation, it won’t be granted by terror or intimidation, by pure repentance, get on your knees and ask for forgiveness and to repent, when you do that get back to me, there is more on salvation, you are not ready for the rest.”
Raj to Yoda Dunbar: “There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe – without swords, without guns, without conquests. The 50 million Muslims of Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades.” [Photo posted by Raj]
Yoda Dunbar to Raj: “Guess you have forgotten the crusades, what is it with you people, the World is amazing, yet your kind seems hell bent on making it like it is where you came from, hell Holes, and that is why you are fleeing, instead of being grateful to a Nation for helping you and your kind out, you are angry, all the time too, why so angry? Compare your false entity, he calls for World domination, beheadings, raping little children and women, imposing taxes on those who won’t convert, slavery, the list is long of the abominable thoughts and wished of your entity, whereas our God, tells us to do nothing, he gave us free will, he wants us to love one another like brothers and sisters, he doesn’t want anyone raped, esp children, in the Bible he clearly says, suffer the little children to come unto me. You are on the wrong side of history and faith, let go of the past, stop threatening everyone, let alone getting so offended all the time. Thus ends my communication with you, I wish you well, and can only hope and pray you wake up to the truth before it is too late, there is no 72 virgins waiting, boy what a sales pitch to get ugly angry young Men to commit suicide bombings.”
Raj to Yoda Dunbar: “It’s a conquest like never before. Conquest of Europe and Canada and then of USA and Australia. European and Canadian don’t need visa to go to USA and Australia. Europe and Canada will be a stepping stone to USA and Australia.”
These comments are telling. You have each side telling the other about the superiority of its own side. The difference? The difference is plainly evident. Yoda Dunbar is simply didactic, whereas Raj mentions Islam but is telling Yoda Dunbar what the Islamists will do and what they are doing. He’s giving it to us! By “us,” I mean Americans…exactly what they are doing and planning…with emphasis on the “doing” part! You’re not going to win a religious argument with those who not only believe in what they believe…but will strap dynamite to themselves and self-detonate…within the midst of the “prayer brunch” at the local Christian church.
True Believer by Eric Hoffer covers it all…for those on both sides believing in something more for the sake of establishing an “identity” for themselves and assuring a pulpit with which to peddle ignorance.
The only countries that are fighting the influx in Europe are Italy, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary, and they are under the siege of The Hague (the Court mentioned earlier), as well as having cretins within their own populations trying to destroy their nations from within, as with our nation. In the United States, there is a carefully-constructed policy of ensconcing all of the Islamist extremism and Sharia law into the schools, the universities, and local and state government. They are doing it, and not simply allowing it to happen. We are allowing it to happen, and should not be surprised to wake up one morning to find the United States in a battlefield from coast to coast.
The churches collect their tithes and percentages to fund an ongoing organization and keep everyone under control to the church hierarchies and whatever government is enabling their 501-C-3 tax status. The churches only interests are to preserve their establishments and enable tax-free salaries and profits under the “non-profit” shield. The churches buy property (such as abandoned movie theaters) and expand…not for religious growth, but for growth of the organization.
The Muslims buy property, too…and fill them with guns and train the youth in the Madrasas to hate the west and to die for Islam.
The extremists can deny it all they want, but the bottom line is this: any land held by the Muslims and then lost to the “al-Harb” is considered a disgrace in the eyes of their Allah and must be retaken back. That applies not just to countries conquered, as in Spain and Portugal during the Middle Ages. That applies to places purchased…any piece of ground dwelt upon or with a mosque upon. Make no mistake: this is a war of conquest of a different kind.
The kind where the conquerors are “invited” in and are conquering lands held by those too blind to realize what is happening until it is too late.
This constitutes just one more threat, along with the fostered civil strife and political discord in the U.S. domestically. Next will most likely be the upholding of the “State of Aztlan,” and the “Reconquista” will be pushed to get the illegals from Central and South America and Mexico into the fray. Gutting the country from within and weakening it, and setting it up for the “Sunday Punch” of a foreign attack. The new emphasis: time for the media and the democrats to initiate the gun-grab…the firearms are the only thing stopping them. All on the march toward globalism.

LUTON, England (INTELLIHUB) — In March, the deputy leader of Britain First Jayda Fransen and a few of her colleagues decided to take a stroll down the street in Bury Park, a primarily Muslim district of the city, to see how Muslims reacted to the cross. Needless to say, the peaceful walk turned into a street argument when Muslims living inside the country verbally attacked Fransen and her crew for their beliefs.
“The Muslims of Luton claim they’ve taken our country from us! It seems my Christian cross really offends them!,” the deputy leader tweeted.

In 2015 as home secretary, Theresa May introduced draconian investigatory powers legislation, authorizing enhanced surveillance – on the phony pretext of combating terrorism ruling Tories support.
Sacrificing fundamental freedoms for greater security assures losing both, May at it again as prime minister – ahead of June 8 snap elections.
“I’ll rip up human rights laws that impede new terror legislation,” she roared, her declaration coming 36 hours before polls open.
Muslims are enemies of choice in America, Britain and other European countries, justifying the unjustifiable, waging war OF terror, not on it as claimed.
May favors greater domestic war on Muslims living in Britain, including the right to deport alleged terrorist suspects, even without evidence suggesting it.
In an effort to bolster her sagging support pre-election, she said “I can tell you a few of the things I mean, (urging) longer prison sentences for people convicted of terrorist offenses.”
“I mean making it easier for the authorities to deport foreign terror suspects to their own countries.”
“And I mean doing more to restrict the freedom and the movements of terrorist suspects when we have enough evidence to know they present a threat, but not enough evidence to prosecute them in full.”
“And if human rights laws stop us from doing it, we will change those laws so we can do it.”
Britain already has draconian tools in place, headed by so-called Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures (TPIMs), enhanced for added toughness in September 2011.
They permit forced relocation of individuals to government-owned accommodations elsewhere in the country, based solely on suspicions, nothing indicating they pose a threat – an extrajudicial practice grossly infringing on fundamental civil liberties.
In March 2005, so-called control orders were instituted – a social control system placing suspects under virtual house arrest, including restrictions on movement, association and employment, along with electronic tagging. Forced relocation is permitted.
These orders were issued in closed court hearings, individuals affected and their lawyers not allowed to attend – punishing people unfairly, denying them due process, based on secret “evidence” not subject to appeal.
This practice undermines judicial fairness, the presumption of innocence unless proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt denied – the defining feature of police state governance.
Control orders were later struck down judicially and abandoned. May wants TPIMs toughened, restoring some or perhaps all abhorrent practices control orders authorized – making Britain more of a police state than already.
Earlier promising not to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights (1950), perhaps Tories now have second thoughts.
They could amend or replace the 1998 UK Human Rights Act. Following last Saturday’s London Bridge/Borough Market attack, May promised to introduce new anti-terrorism laws, without elaboration.
In response, Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron said “(i)n her years as home secretary, she was willing to offer up the police for cut after cut.”
“We have been here before. A kind of nuclear arms race in terror laws might give the appearance of action, but what the security services lack is not more power, but more resources. And responsibility for that lies squarely with Theresa May.”
For the moment, focus is on Thursday’s snap elections, polls suggesting a possible hung parliament, coalition governance needed if things turn out this way.
If Tories retain power individually or with a hardline partner, Britain looks headed toward becoming more of a police state than already.
Perhaps other European countries and America will follow the same path.
The ruling elite want to dominate humanity forever. Using the tools at their disposal they’ve created a long sought out plan to achieve what they hope to be endless unchallenged power over the rest of the human species on earth. At this point in human history the goal which the ruling elite have for power and control is no secret. Why? Because the very same technology they are using to enslave us is also a great tool to use to expose their agenda and who they are.
What I described above is the usual “problem”. We in alternative media are experts at exposing the problems we have. But how about solutions? Before we get into solutions let’s dig deeper and demonstrate how at a larger scale the 3 major monotheistic religions that dominate this world all pose a threat to the globalist new world order plans, and subsequently these 3 groups have been set up to be attacked in a sophisticated well organized manner so as to not only divide humanity permanently but to suppress the voices of all those who have beliefs that threaten the finalization of the ruling elite’s global order.
For simplicity let’s list the globalist action plan here.
Task: Dominate humanity in the 21st century and beyond
Strategy: Divide humanity first into helpless segments devoid of values and beliefs and then condition them to permanently accept their enslavement.
Some implementation strategies:
1– Destruction of cultural values through various forms of education and social engineering.
2- Destruction of all longstanding conservative values, religious beliefs and tenets and implementation of moral relativity.
3- Destruction of all nation states that oppose the new world order plans and its banking systems.
4- Destruction of all forms of privacy and free speech to facilitate a global control grid.
5- Financially destroy the middle class and create a society that is financially government-dependent.
This list could be a lot longer like the planned poisoning of humanity in various ways (chemtrails, vaccines, GMOs etc) to achieve depopulation and much more. Above I’ve highlighted in bold items #1 and #2 because this is what I want to talk about today. Let’s talk about how the ruling elite have implemented 3 key strategies to persecute, divide and ultimately destroy the 3 major religions that pose the biggest threat to the secular new global order. Oddly, this is a topic rarely talked about even though the notion of religions versus politics has been a source of war, persecution, death and destruction since the beginning of time.
The way to divide the 3 major religions that pose the greatest threat to the new world order and which all come with traditions and deep rooted cultural values is to fund and facilitate a separate movement to go after each one individually. In the end all three of these major religions are ultimately demonized and the plan to eventually neutralize and or remove these religions out of the way is set in slow motion.
As you read on you will notice many of the steps to go after these 3 major religions are already well underway. All three of these religions already have a long history of persecution so none of them are new to this. The goal here is to show everyone the big picture as to how the ruling elite have created this triad of persecution so that they (the secular ruling elite) can have their global order without having to deal with the usual opposition that might come from those with strong religious conviction. We all know how badly religions have fared throughout history when they posed a threat to the ruling establishment at the time, whether the rulers were other competing religions or not.
#1 Planned Destruction Of Islam
So let’s begin with religion number one, Islam. Islam like any religion has their beliefs, in this case taken from the Koran. Obviously how someone interprets Islamic teachings may differ, but most Muslims around the world do not believe in or practice violence and oppression of others. Most will tell you this is based on misinterpretation of the Koran and radical fanaticism as we have seen in many religions throughout history.
Today however, we are all familiar with the Islamic faith and how it is perceived by those in power today here in the United States. Think “Bin Laden” and “al Qaeda” and need I say any more? Since at least the late 70’s the globalists were working on the “Islamic terrorism” narrative. Many point to Operation Gladio B as a signature operation starting around that time leading to today’s entire “terrorism” narrative which blames Islam for senseless violence. This narrative would ultimately prove to be the perfect weapon against all Muslims worldwide. It’s no wonder that practically all Muslim so called terrorism traces back to the US (think Zbigniew Brzezinski ) who created the idea in the first place arming and then training fighters with the help of then CIA operative Bin Laden or should I say “Tim Osmond” in what would later be referred to as “al Qaeda” fighters in Afghanistan in the late 70’s and beyond.
What was the end result of all of this co-opting of the Muslim religion to foster division hatred, then arming and radicalizing them? A priceless enemy that can be easily demonized before the world and used to create endless enemies and thus endless wars. (Think 9/11, al Qaeda, ISIS, endless war on terror, etc). That is more than enough reason to destroy the Islamic faith and baptize it in the blood of terrorism. Islam will never recover from this Gladio B invasion that the likes of Brezinski conjured up in the 70’s and today it is not unusual to here an American particularly a conservative Christian or Republican say or believe that all Muslims are suspected terrorist. The Islam brand is politically tarnished in perfect alignment with the new world order plans.
#2 Planned Destruction Of Christianity
Christianity on the other hand has been under attack by the Left wing Liberal “progressives” for some time. As it is with almost all Left wing Liberal issues at the root of this agenda is the Communist (now better known as the globalist) agenda to undermine Christianity, conservative and family values and ultimately things like the Constitution and rule of law here in America.
Substituted in place of Christian values is Cultural Marxism, moral relativity and subjectivism, lawlessness and new “politically correct” rules that allows these “social justice warriors” to redefine what natural law is all about, what is right and what is wrong and thus what a crime is, what is considered “harassment” and what is an act of violence. This process of redefining terms is just the tip of the iceberg for the Liberal Left who are now spearheading the new world order agenda as I’ve discussed many times in the past. This is the reason why today Christians and conservatives are accused of “hating” gays and lesbians instead of acknowledging that condemnation of the LGBT lifestyle is embedded in most cultures and particularly Christianity which is based on Bible scriptures.
This is also why Obama, the ultimate deceiver and hater of Christian values, went out of his way to use the US Educational system as a brainwashing tool for the children over the past 8 years unnecessarily exposing innocent children to bizarre sexual topics and other topics that undermine family traditional values.
But of course it doesn’t end there. We witnessed over the past 8 years of Obama how anyone with conservative values who believes in the Constitution, freedom and especially the 2nd Amendment was persecuted, spied on and with every chance the establishment got was even labeled as “domestic terrorists” (think Bundy Ranch Patriots). We can see clearly today that the conservative Constitution and freedom loving Patriot with Christian traditional values is a major threat to the new world order and the selected arch enemy of this group is the Liberal Left. This hatred and demonization of Conservatives is only intensifying and the worse is yet to come.
#3 Planned Destruction Of Judaism
Finally there is Judaism. Now you may be asking, who is against Jews and who is against Judaism so much that it warrants mentioning in this article? And you may be wondering how and why is Judaism a threat to the new world order? Actually this segment is probably the most important of the three because it’s the one that gets the least amount of attention and is the topic truth seekers, freedom lovers and alternative media followers have the least knowledge about and thus talks about the least. That’s because most people probably don’t understand what Judaism is about and what it means to be Jewish. Even more so, especially in the alternative media which is so dominated by disinformation trolls and Jew haters there is even less understanding what Zionism is about. We’ll get to Zionism shortly but first let’s examine a few important facts about Judaism, one of the oldest religions in the world.
Today there are about 14-15 million Jews worldwide depending on where you research this. And the breakdown of Jewish sects is about 38% Reform Judaism, 33% Conservative Judaism and 22% Orthodox Judaism to round out the top 3 sects. Together that’s over 83% of Jews worldwide that share some kind of values based on Judaism. The most liberal of these is the Reform Jews and even this sect “observe moral law” and “emphasize personal connection to Jewish tradition”. Meaning that most Jews observe strong traditions related to their culture and religion which are based on morality, commitment to the teachings of the Torah and or traditional Jewish law. Can you see how this can be a problem for the new world order?
But then there is Zionism. To explain the role of Zionism I came across a comment from Arthur Weiss who has lived in Israel. I thought his explanation of Zionism is very interesting and will allow us to move forward more easily. I’ve highlighted in bold the most meaningful sections. The question was posed:
What percentage of Jews living in Israel do not believe in Zionism? What about those living in the United States?
Before answering this question you have to answer two things: 1) What is Zionism 2) What does it mean to be a Jew
Zionism can have multiple definitions – from a belief that Israel is the Jewish National homeland, to the right of Jews to self-determine their own fate in their own country, to a wish for a theocracy under the leadership of the Messiah in the land of Israel. Most definitions work on the assumption that Jews are a separate nation – and that Judaism is more than a religion unlike Christianity. Thus, although a Jew may be born in England or America, they have both aspects i.e. they are an English Jew or an American Jew rather than an Englishman or American who practices Judaism as their religion.
Not all Jews are religious or practicing in their Judaism. Some were born Jewish but apart from that, don’t identify with anything Jewish at all. They may be anti-Zionist as a way of stressing that they want nothing to do with being Jewish – and as support for Israel is one of the last aspects of being Jewish that remains after all the ritualistic, religious aspects are discarded, this is one way to show how ‘non-Jewish’ they are. That is a reason why some left-wing secular Jews claim not to be Zionist. It’s a way of emphasizing their rejection of Judaism and their Jewish backgrounds.
Some Jews are extremely religious and view Zionism as a secular political movement and so define themselves as anti-Zionist. They reject the secular nature of Israel. At the same time, such Jews will pray every day – several times – for a return to the land of Israel, for the Jewish sovereignty in the land, and for the rebuilding of the Temple on the site of the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Groups such as Neturei Karta that are virulently anti-Zionist fall in this category. Such religious anti-Zionist Jews want Israel to be theocracy and believe that Israel should only exist as a sovereign nation when the Messiah comes. Some go a step further and say that the existence of Israel is preventing this – and so want Israel to be destroyed so that it can be recreated in the form they want under the leadership of the Messiah.
The point of this is that the VAST majority of Jews globally are Zionist in that they want a Jewish State in the land of Israel. Where they differ is in the nature of that State – secular or religious.
The majority of non-religious Jews also want a Jewish state in Israel or are against the idea of there not being one. They may see Zionism as active support for the government of Israel and so may reject Zionism, as defined by this. However they still support Israel’s existence as a Jewish state – even if they say they are non-Zionist because they don’t support Israel’s current government. (They will view a Zionist as somebody who is totally uncritical on Israel and its policies – and hence define themselves as non-Zionist, even though they support Israel and the Jewish rule there).
A small minority of non-religious Jews are genuinely anti-Zionist – as discussed – as a way of demonstrating their rejection of Judaism (or all religions).
Thus if you define Zionism as support for Israel and/or the wish for there to be Jewish sovereignty of Israel, then over 99% of Jews are Zionists.
If you define Zionism as support of thecurrentgovernment of Israel and all its decisions, then a much smaller percentage (but still, at a guess over 50%) are Zionist.
If you define Zionism as support for the “greater Israel” movement and in favor of settlements throughout Israel and including the territories occupied in 1967, plus limits on the rights of non-Jews (including Arabs), etc. then a VERY VERY small percentage of Jews both in Israel and outside Israel will support this.The problem is that too many people who do not understand the Jewish connection to Zionism see this as a definition of Zionism and then mention all the Jews they know who don’t support this – and then claim most Jews aren’t Zionist, and that you can be a practicing Jew without being Zionist.
I posted this comment to demonstrate that if this writer is correct then practically the entire alternative media including myself have for the most part been using the term “Zionism” in a different way that most Jews themselves use it. We already discussed the various major sects of Judaism but this issue of Zionism is a political issue which depending on how you define Zionism in your mind either most Jews or a very small percentage of them endorse.
Example, if Zionism is defined as Jews that want and feel they deserve a homeland then yes, most Jews are Zionist as this writer implies. But if we define it in the context of Oded Yinon’s paper “The greater Israel” calling for violent regional domination or in the context of the corrupt Israeli involvement in US crimes (think 9/11), the endless war on terror, NATO operations etc, then most Jews even the ones living in Israel are NOT Zionists. This semantics difference it turns out is just the tip of the iceberg.
We know Zionist criminals (think Mossad) have been terrorizing nations in their region for years perfectly in line with the Zionist Greater Israel plan. And just like the US Military Industrial Complex, the Bush Clinton Obama Neocons which are now taking over the Trump administration, the CIA and the deep state working with criminal elements in other nations, all of these elements together make up the global deep state. As a whole these elements want to create a global order and when it’s all said and done ALL religions ESPECIALLY those who are committed to traditional scriptures whether it be the Bible, the Koran or the Torah will be a threat to the new global order.
For this reason the ruling elite have devised a plan for each of these monotheistic religions. And by the way, monotheistic religions like Islam, Christianity and Judaism are a problem for the new world order because those who follow these religions won’t accept any other God. There is a reason why these 3 religions have suffered horrific persecution throughout history, but I digress.
The weapon devised against Judaism are at least two-fold. One is the undermining of traditional values just like the globalist did in their attack against Christianity and conservative values here in the US. Similarly, the secularization of Judaism has been one major way to attack Judaism and the Jews though most don’t realize this. In other words “secularization” was to Judaism what “radicalization” was to Islam. The Jews also have been bamboozled and bombarded with political propaganda dating back to the creation of the Israeli state following WW2. They too are dealing with a police state, fake news, government surveillance and everything we have going on in the US. Yet most who attack Jews fail to see this.
The other important war being waged against Judaism is the demonization of all Jews by what I call the “blame Israel” psyop movement that I have been exposing for years now. This movement is very real and it lives inside of the alternative media. We all see the relentless and endless trolling comments on every article and video posted on alternative media blaming the Jews for everything wrong in the world even in topics that have nothing to do with Israel. I’ve been warning truth seekers for years that I believe this is an organized intelligence movement and I have a lot of reasons to believe this.
The original goal of the “blame everything on Israel” movement which rose during the early years of the 9/11 truth movement was to take advantage of the known Israeli involvement in 9/11 and use it to put a huge symbolic swastika on the 9/11 Truth movement so that Jews around the world who would otherwise look into 9/11 Truth would instead not even look into 9/11 thinking it was just another anti-Semitic movement. I’m sure the strategy worked to some degree and the movement took off from there.
Today the movement serves as a perfect tool to not only attack someone for being Jewish by confusing criminal Zionism with being Jewish but it is also a perfect tool to use to defend Obama crimes, defend the Liberal Left agenda, push the blame of 9/11 away from Cheney, Rumsfeld, the US military, the FBI, the Bush Neocons and the rest of the criminals involved and instead divert the blame to Israel. The movement was also used last year to block awareness of the Wikileaks revelations about Hillary, Podesta, vault 7, the deep state coup d’etat and much more. The online trolls pushing the “blame Israel for everything” psyop were quick to say that Julian Assange and Wikileaks is really “Mossad” and even that Trump is “working for Israel”. Even when it was revealed in 2014 and 2015 that the Islamic State or ISIS had been created by the US and trained by the CIA in Jordan the “blame Israel” trolls were right there to tell us that ISIS really stands for ‘Israeli Secret Intelligence Service”. Remember that one? If it was just about blaming the political government of Israel like it is with all other nations that commit crimes it would be understandable and even justified. But for some reason it never ends there. Jews are almost always ultimately to blame for crimes committed by Israel.
The point is that all three of these religions and cultures (Islam, Christianity and Judaism) have been targeted for attack by the ruling elite and the attacks are not going away ever because the globalists never give up. So all we can do is make people aware of these existing larger agendas and paradigms at play as we speak.
Of the three groups Muslims face the most severe clear and present danger, the Christians are already feeling the heat after 8 years of Obama, the unleashing of ISIS terrorists against Christians and the rise of the cry bully children of the new world order making America an increasingly more dangerous world for Christians and Conservatives. Lastly Jews all around the world are being blamed for all the above in an underground online world that takes the actions of the criminal Zionist elements of the global deep state and blaming these actions on all Jews. The precondition for the persecution of all Jews is very much being laid down and that is because the globalist, I believe when the time is right, will eventually persecute all Jews especially those who hold on to the teachings of the Torah and traditional values, and like the Christians and the Muslims anyone who doesn’t bow to the state will be eliminated.
I believe the ruling elite know that the order of persecution is crucial to the success of their agenda. The Jews will be last, the Muslims are in the middle of their own holocaust and the Christians also are now realizing what is happening worldwide to them.
This my friends is how you divide humanity. You destroy all values by secularizing, radicalizing and demonizing the religions that pose a threat. You remove the long standing traditional values, faith-based beliefs and the spiritual and deep rooted elements that form the fabric of that culture and then you go after the rest of the people.
Solutions
As I said at the beginning of this article, we in the alternative media are good at pointing out problems. Now we know the problem with regard to how the ruling elite are shutting down humanity and how the key monotheistic religions of the world are a major threat to their plan. So what solutions are there knowing what we know now?
1- Share knowledge about these religions– Increase your knowledge and history of Judaism, Islam and Christianity as well and understand the history of those who oppose them as already discussed. Become familiar with the various agendas to destroy these 3 major religions as well as the values and beliefs they hold. Consider all arguments and dig deep until you get to the truth. Remember, most people mean well and the criminal element on this planet is a minority not a majority. Realize that the ruling elite built their theories about humanity long ago based on Freudian-like theories which suggested that humans are inherently evil. Deceptive theories such as these which disregard a good loving and nurturing upbringing facilitate, education, faith and positivity call for big authoritarian government to control the “evil” people by necessity.
Ironically, now that Trump has signed an Executive Order preventing the IRS from punishing religious organizations for taking political stances hopefully more religious leaders will take an open and strong stance on what is right and what is wrong. Hopefully more religious leaders will also call out government corruption for what it is. Only time will tell.
2- Stop technocracy– Without stopping this mad push for technology I believe humanity is headed toward extinction. We are now on a suicide path to destruction if we don’t stop inventing and improving and allowing these robots and artificial intelligence to take over our lives. We must begin to realize that aside from a few conveniences robots do not enhance our lives they only make it easier for corporations to make more profits and allow government to spy on you.
In order to take action against runaway technology it must begin with you. I also believe that everyone must begin the change by taking a good look at their smart phone and making a commitment to getting rid of it. Reconstruct your new life around not having a smart phone. Even if you don’t do it today. Pick a day, maybe New Years Day. Whenever it is, I believe we will ALL have to come to this point. Once you do this then pick the next item. Make a conscious commitment to returning your life to some form of electronic normality.
3- Rediscover humanity– We must rediscover who we are as human beings. Humans were never meant to be wearing electronics, texting 24/7 or holding a phone to your head every day. We were not meant to have smart appliances running our lives. We are meant to socialize, to meet in person, to commune together. Let’s not give this up. Rediscover traditional values and stop listening to the Liberal Left lunatics who feel everything must change for the sake of change itself.
4- Protect your child’s education and health– Take care of your children yourself because they are the future. Protect your child’s mental and physical health. Don’t give them over to the Medical Industrial Complex or the Board of Education. Instead take control and nurture their health because this is your duty as a parent.
5- Commit to small government– Support small municipal or community actions and take actions at small levels with neighbors, family or friends. We must focus on taking back some level of government at the smallest possible level. Make a list of things in your personal life and share this with others. This is what I’m doing here in LA.
Try to rediscover and appreciate the concept of small government versus big government, small businesses versus big businesses and ask yourself what can you do to facilitate freedom and liberty. Do your part to bring back freedom and stop relying on a President to do it for you.
6- Support alternative media– I/we need your help. If you made it this far and you are still reading this article it’s because you care. Help me/us survive to continue sharing articles, videos and solutions. All of this takes time and effort. Support the websites that share this article because they too need help to continue doing what they are doing.
Hopefully the awareness and understanding that is being shared worldwide will trigger more and more individual action which will trigger other events and actions and eventually more good things will continue to develop. Remember that we are in a time continuum and usually nothing happens overnight and all victories and loses are temporary. We have already seen incredible revelations and developments over the past 6-12 months that blow our minds. Let’s keep taking it all in and continue sharing real news and most of all let’s not give up in our fight for freedom, liberty and Truth.
It was reported by Aamer Madhani, a White House reporter under Barack Hussein Obama’s criminal administration, that big city mayors have vowed to defy the law and President Donald Trump regarding sanctuary cities harboring illegal aliens.
Aamer reported, “As you may know, back in Jan 26, 2017 several big city mayors across the U.S. vowed to defy President Trump’s executive order that threatens to cut off federal funding to cities that offer some sort of protection to illegal immigrants in their communities.”
The question is, how did they approve the funding in the first place?
Furthermore, the Law does not protect illegal aliens. It prosecutes them.
Aamer continued, “The pushback came from these mayors came as Trump signed a long-anticipated executive order that directs the government to identify federal money it can withhold to punish so-called ‘sanctuary cities.’”
Since when did the federal government receive delegated authority from the American people to take their tax money and reallocate it to cities that are harboring illegal aliens?
Aamer added, “If you remember, Trump had pledged to take action against sanctuary cities on the campaign trail.”
“But as Trump announced the order — as well as action to build a wall along the U.S-Mexico border and hire thousands of new border patrol agents and immigration officers — leaders of some of the nation’s biggest cities flatly stated they would not cooperate with the president,” Aamer wrote.
And you need to ask why. This is not Trump against the mayors. This is the mayors working against American Law! And the law exposes the criminal (Romans 3:20).
Aamer reported “In New York, Mayor Bill de Blasio vowed that the action ‘won’t change how we enforce the law in New York City.’”
“De Blasio said that the city has been able to dramatically reduce the crime rate in the nation’s largest city, in part, because relationships the police department has managed to build in immigrant communities,” the report continued. “He added that if Trump follows through with the plan it would mean he’s effectively cutting funding from the New York Police Department.”
In other words, through totalitarian methods, Mayor de Blasio is attempting to use the law against the law. Here, you have the criminal blaming the law for his crimes (1 John 3:12).
“Here in New York City and in cities across the nation, this executive order could in fact undermine public safety and make our neighborhoods less safe,” de Blasio said.
What De Blasio said was that the enforcement of law could undermine public safety. He is the one personally responsible for the undermining of the public’s safety. Was America told that they were under an Islamic threat after September 11, 2001? How does his statement line up with the facts?
There were 68.57 illegal aliens imprisoned for every 100,000 illegals in Arizona, compared to 54.06 citizens and legal noncitizens imprisoned for every 100,000 citizens and legal noncitizens.
There were 97.2 illegals imprisoned for every 100,000 illegals in California, compared to 74.1 citizens and legal noncitizens imprisoned per 100,000 citizen and legal noncitizens.
There were 54.85 illegals imprisoned for every 100,000 illegals in Florida, compared to 67.8 legal immigrants imprisoned for every 100,000 legal immigrants.
There were 168.75 illegals imprisoned for every 100,000 illegals in New York, compared to 48.12 legal immigrants imprisoned for every 100,000 legal immigrants.
There were 54.54 illegals imprisoned for every 100,000 illegals in Texas, compared to 65.43 legal immigrants.
“After President Donald Trump signed an executive order exploring cutting off funding to so-called sanctuary cities, mayors on both coasts of the U.S. say their cities will not be bullied,” Aamer reported.
These mayors are the ones that are bullying anyone who does not go along with their lawless objectives. These are Saul Alinsky tactics at their best. They play the victim while perpetuating the crime.
In Boston, Mayor Marty Walsh called the executive order an attack on “Boston’s people, Boston’s strength and Boston’s values.”
“If people want to live here, they’ll live here,” Walsh told reporters at a news conference. “They can use my office. They can use any office in this building.”
Americans should put these criminal actors that masquerade as mayors in jail where they belong, and remind each and every one of them that these buildings belong to “We the people.”
Furthermore no one has the right to desecrate the blood of those who fought, bled and died enforcing the very laws that they are violating.
Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, who has been accused and investigated for sexually molesting minors, said, “We believe we have the rule of law and the courts on our side.”
The opposite is true as I am about to show you.
Mayor of Chicago Rham Emanuel said, “I want to be clear. We’re gonna stay a sanctuary city. There is no stranger among us. We welcome people, whether you’re from Poland or Pakistan, whether you’re from Ireland or India or Israel and whether you’re from Mexico or Moldova, where my grandfather came from, you are welcome in Chicago as you pursue the American Dream.”
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee told reporters nothing has changed for his city following Trump’s executive order.
“I am here today to say we are still a sanctuary city,” Lee said. “We stand by our sanctuary city because we want everybody to feel safe and utilize the services they deserve, including education and health care.”
Have Americans been inundated by the media’s narrative that there are threats constantly against “We the people”? Who has attacked the rights of Americans more than those who call themselves representatives? No one has.
Here, we have mayors that are committing treason (Article 3, Section 3 of the US Constitution) by opening the doors to those who are sworn enemies to America (Jeremiah 11:9).
A top aide to Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan questioned whether the city even qualified as a sanctuary city.
The U.S. Conference of Mayors and the Major Cities Chiefs Association expressed concern that the executive order is overly vague.
“We call upon the Secretary of Homeland Security to document and promulgate a lawful definition before further actions are taken, so the cities across the Nation may determine how to proceed,” the organization added.

An infamous PR firm that specializes in damage control during “crisis situations” has been hired by Saudi Arabia to improve the image of the Wahhabist military alliance that is led by the Gulf state. But the firm will likely find itself defending the country’s ongoing war in Yemen as well.
NEW YORK– With plans to step up its grotesque war in Yemen and the first major meeting of defense ministers for the 41-nation military alliance it leads fast approaching, it’s no wonder the Saudi government has called upon public relations firm Burson-Marsteller for its services.
The New York-based company, known as one of the world’s most controversial public relations firms, has now become the latest Western PR firm to land on Saudi Arabia’s payroll. They’ve been hired with the specific intent of improving the image of the so-called Islamic Military Alliance to Fight Terrorism – an alliance occasionally referred to by the nickname “Muslim NATO,” as it is modeled after the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
The alliance, founded in late 2015, was created by the Saudis in partnership with 34 Muslim majority nations with the intention of sharing information and training, equipping and providing forces needed to combat Daesh (ISIS) militants who are active in Iraq and Syria, as well as fighting “any terrorist group that appears in front” of the alliance. The move was welcomed by the Obama administration, which had been seeking greater regional involvement in the U.S.-led campaign to fight Daesh.
The praise bestowed upon the alliance by Obama administration officials was unusual, given that the Obama State Department was aware at the time that Saudi Arabia provides “clandestine financial and logistic support” to Daesh and other extremist terrorist groups that are active in Syria and Iraq.
In addition, according to a leaked memo authored by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Saudi Arabia is known to the State Department to be the world’s largest funder of Wahhabi militant groups worldwide, including al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Other members of the Islamic military alliance – Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates – were also listed as countries known to be funding Wahhabi terrorists.
Many of the alliance’s member nations are also known for their sordid human rights records, an inconvenient truth that some have argued is being hidden by the peddling of a “terrorist-fighting” military alliance. As Husain Abdulla, executive director for Americans For Democracy & Human Rights in Bahrain, told Middle East Eye: “Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and many other members of this coalition are masterful at diverting attention from their systematic human rights abuses. Their participation in the Islamic Military Alliance is a clear example of how they use the fight against terrorism to distract from abuse and repression.”

Notably, the alliance fails to include Muslim-majority nations like Iran and Syria – countries that have a proven track record of fighting the Wahabbist terror groups that the Saudi-led alliance claims to fight but is actually funding. As Middle East Eye noted, the exclusion of Iran and Syria, among others, has prompted concern from Iran that the alliance is a sectarian force with ulterior motives.
While the organization’s official name may paint the alliance as being inclusive of all Muslims and focused on fighting extremism, the Saudis – in addition to being internationally recognized as the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism – are well-known for spreading sectarianism via the exportation of Wahhabist ideology.
As political analyst and writer Catherine Shakdam noted in 2015:
“Wahhabism is merely the misguided expression of one man’s political ambition – Mohammed Abdel-Wahhab, a bigot who was recruited by the British Empire to erode the fabric of Islam and crack the armor of the then-Ottoman Empire by breeding sectarianism and dissent. It is Abdel-Wahhab’s alliance to the House of Saud that ultimately unleashed this now seemingly unstoppable evil we know today under the tag of Islamic radicalism. If not for the Al Saud Royals’ billions and the silence of Western powers, Wahhabism would never have crossed the deserts of Saudi Arabia. If not for the kingdom’s lavish sponsoring of the Wahhabi school of thought, extremism would never have come to be in the first place.”
Thus, the assertion that this alliance represents Islam as a whole is misleading, as a majority of Muslim practitioners are viewed as “unbelievers” and deserving of death through the lens of Wahhabism.
Now, less than two years later, alliance members are suggesting that they will be targeting not Daesh terrorists, but a Yemeni resistance movement led by Houthi rebels who have been actively fighting al-Qaeda in Yemen, as well as fighting the influence of Saudi Arabian colonialism in the country. Last week, Saudi Major General Ahmed Asiri, a major player in the alliance who is currently being investigated by British authorities regarding alleged war crimes, told the Wall Street Journal that the alliance’s scope could be extended to include fighting against the Houthis.
The Houthis have been targeted by the Saudis since early 2015 in a war that has crippled the nation, killing thousands of civilians and provoking a massive humanitarian crisis that is estimated to claim the life of one child every ten minutes. Much of the death and destruction in Yemen owes to the Saudi-led coalition’s repeated bombings of hospitals and civilian infrastructure, leading many in the international community to accuse the Saudis of war crimes.
In addition, Saudi Arabia has weaponized humanitarian aid that is being provided to Yemen by blocking shipments of medical aid and food from humanitarian organizations.
Calm in crisis: Burson-Marsteller’s damage control track record
A press conference held in Dubai on to announce results of a Burson-Marsteller Arab Youth Survey funded by Gulf Arab countries.
The Saudis, worried about bad PR from their campaign in Yemen right before the alliance’s first major conference, have enlisted the services of the world’s premier PR firm for corporations and authoritarian governments in crisis.
Burson-Marsteller, while offering a range of PR services, is best known for its “crisis capabilities.” In other words, corporations – ranging from ExxonMobil to Blackwater – enlist the firm’s services when they find themselves in hot water and are in desperate need of damage control.
Burson-Marsteller rose to prominence in the 1980s, when it was hired by Johnson & Johnson in the aftermath of the Chicago Tylenol murders. Seven people died after taking Tylenol that had been contaminated with cyanide by an unknown suspect who was never apprehended.
Other notable cases taken by the firm include representing the builders of the Three Mile Island nuclear station following the station’s near-meltdown, as well as Union Carbide (now Dow Chemical) after a chemical disaster at one of its plants killed thousands in India and tobacco giant PhillipMorris after the Environmental Protection Agency warned about the dangers of second-hand smoke.
In addition to its work in the corporate world, Burson-Marsteller has also worked on behalf of several governments with questionable human rights records. Among their past clientele include Argentinian dictator Jorge Videla in the late 1970s and Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, as well as the governments of Nigeria and Indonesia after those governments were accused of genocide.
The firm has also had several lucrative contracts with the U.S. government, including a $4.6 million contract with the Department of Homeland Security in 2005. The firm’s leadership is also deeply connected to the Clinton family, with former CEO Mark Penn serving as a key “behind-the-scenes” figure in the Clinton White House, as well as chief strategist for Hillary Clinton’s failed 2008 presidential campaign. Current CEO Don Baer has also worked for the Clintons, having served as a senior adviser to the Clinton White House, as well as its director of communications and top speechwriter.
Saudi Arabia has employed Burson-Marsteller in the past, most notably just days after the Sept. 11 attacks, when it hired the firm for its crisis management expertise. Working in connection with Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the former Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States, the firm launched an advertising campaign in newspapers across the country seeking to distance Saudi Arabia from the attackers, 15 of whom were Saudi nationals.
Burson-Marsteller is not the only Western PR firm the Saudis have employed in recent years. The Saudis recently came under fire for their use of U.S.-based lobbying firms in order to convince Congress to repeal or rewrite the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, also known by its acronym JASTA, or simply as the “9/11 bill.”
With Saudi Arabia having recently been appointed to the UN’s women’s rights commission, it seems that the Gulf Kingdom’s use of western PR firms is paying off.

Editor’s Comment: The whole situation is whipped up hysteria on all sides; if they set the economic tilt of the tables right, the tension and pressure would all quickly diffuse. If the roaming war machine in the middle east would back off or slow down, it would exponentially curb the hatred and violence from radicals and terrorists “over there.” As Ron Paul and many others have long argued, it is the deliberate continuation of blowback. The same is true with the migrant crisis… if the elites didn’t want a flood of unstable refugee people from an incompatible culture, why did they push so hard for war there – that is specifically what is driving the entire crisis into Europe and America alike. But they have shamefully done it on purpose and by design to destabilize and drive a wedge between ideological segments of the population.
Who exactly does the FBI work for? It has been so busy targeting Americans and placing mass surveillance across population centers that they have failed to protect America’s borders from potentially threatening aliens, etc. Extremists among the conservatives on the right, or the patriot community, or the angry left have all been driven to extremes at times. But in the last cycle, the media frenzy has been guided towards pinpoint accuracy in its use as a weapon to divide and conquer people, to stir up rage and distrust between people, and to fish for headlines and further justifications for power.
Shock Report: FBI Arresting Far More Americans Targeting Muslims, Than Muslims Targeting Americans
by Claire Bernish
As President Trump and supporters continue the push to levy an arbitrary travel ban from a smattering of predominantly Muslim countries, a debate rages in the United States about the validity — and effectiveness — of preventing terrorism by strangling immigration.
Now, simple data can put that debate to rest.
“Since January 2015, the FBI has also arrested more anti-immigrant American citizens plotting violent attacks on Muslims within the U.S. than it has refugees, or former refugees, from any banned country,” writes Nora Ellingsen for Lawfare.
Ellingsen would know, too, after having worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Counterterrorism Division for five years, she left for Harvard Law School — but has tracked statistics closely for Lawfare since. And Ellingsen remains cagey to unreported information — she knows what is likely taking place behind the scenes, even when it either isn’t or hasn’t been disclosed to the public.
“The Program on Extremism at George Washington University has routinely published statistics indicating thatthe ‘vast majority’ of individuals charged in the U.S. with offenses related to ISIL are U.S. citizens.When considering all terrorism offenses, that claim holds up—80 of the 97 suspects arrested in the past two years, or more than 82 percent, are American citizens.
“Most of those, notably, are not naturalized citizens. Of the U.S. citizens, only six were naturalized. In other words,more than 76 percent of individuals arrested by the FBI over the past two years for terrorism-related offenses were U.S. citizens as a result of having been born in the United States.”
Americans present a far greater threat to Americans than immigrants from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen, or Somalia — the named countries in Trump’s disputatious ban.
But even naturalized U.S. citizens haven’t committed or plotted to commit acts of terrorism on American soil. According to the aforementioned statistics, two of six naturalized citizens emigrated from Bosnia, which didn’t make the list — nor did Israel, staunch U.S. government policy driver, and original home of the third naturalized citizen, who had been convicted on charges of terrorism previously.
“Nihad Rosic and Mediha Medy Salkicevic,” Ellingsen continues, “emigrated to the U.S. from Bosnia, a country not on Trump’s list. While in the United States, the government alleges that Rosic and Salkicevic raised and sent money to individuals fighting with ISIL in Syria and Iraq. Both men contributed money from their personal savings, while other members of the conspiracy sent supplies including tactical gear. At one point, Rosic attempted to leave the country to join ISIL as a fighter overseas. Neither subject plotted an attack in the United States.
“Another naturalized citizen, Rasmieh Yousef Odeh came to the United States from Israel—a country that’s really not on Trump’s list. Odeh’s case is unique; she was charged with immigration violations for failing to disclose a previous terrorism conviction in Israel. Now 68 years old, Odeh was convicted in Israel for her role in the 1969 bombings of a supermarket and the British Consulate in Jerusalem, which were carried out on behalf of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP.) In the past two years, Odeh is the only convicted terrorist to slip through the cracks and immigrate to the United States. However, the indictment makes no charges that she was engaged in any sort of terrorist activity while living in the Chicago area.”
Here’s where the statistics get really interesting. While the remaining three naturalized citizens did, indeed, emigrate from nations Trump takes issue with, but not for anything pertaining to his ostensible terrorism concerns.
Two men — one from Iraq, the other, Syria — “were not charged with material support to terrorism, but with making false statements to law enforcement,” and “nothing in the public court documents suggests that either subject engaged in attack plotting in the United States.”
Exactly one naturalized citizen from the travel blacklist engaged in activity related to terrorism, as Ellingsen explains,
“Of the six naturalized citizens on our list, there is exactly one from a newly banned country who was charged with material support to terrorism. Abdirahman Sheik Mohamud emigrated to the U.S. from Somalia. In April 2014, Mohamud traveled from Ohio to Istanbul and onward to Syria, where he received weapons and explosives training. In June 2014, Mohamud returned to the U.S., where he told an acquaintance that he wanted to attack a military facility or a prison, killing U.S. military members.”
So, if perpetually-paranoid Americans aren’t threatened by immigrants from the apparently Sinful Seven countries, who should they fear?
Techdirtturned to an article from Slate, which explains the ‘real terrorists’ truly are closer to home than nervous, law-abiding Americans might think.
“Our politicians say they’ll stop these killers. They talk about building walls and vetting refugees. If we were serious, we would do it. We would seal our borders against North Carolina,”Slate’s William Saletan implored.
“North Carolina? It sounds absurd. When we think about immigration and terrorism, we think of Syria. But that’s not where our casualties are coming from. On Friday, a gunman killed three people and wounded nine more at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado. The suspect is white American Robert Lewis Dear. When police apprehended Dear, he uttered one telltale phrase: ‘no more baby parts.’ People who have known or met Dear say he wasn’t a regular churchgoer. But they also report that he believed devoutly in the Bible and that he claimed to have read it ‘cover to cover.’ In an online forum, Dear apparently spoke of Jesus and the ‘end times.’ He painted or posted crosses on at least three of his homes.
“Dear moved to Colorado last year from North Carolina, where he had been living. For two decades, the Tar Heel State has been a hotbed of religious extremism, fueled by clerics who preach holy war. The result is a stream of interstate terrorism.”
Saletan, of course, speaks tongue-in-cheek, yet keenly encapsulates — through a list of domestic terror attacks carried out by North and South Carolinians — how immigration restrictions of any variety serve only to placate xenophobes.
After all, Saudi Arabia didn’t make the list; Israel didn’t make the list; Afghanistan didn’t make the list.
Terrorism doesn’t practice one religion, or have a single nationality. It doesn’t have a specific appearance, gender, motivation, cause, or mindset.
You can’t fight terrorism by ignoring facts — and the fact is, we have our own terrorists. No matter how constrictive the restrictions on our borders get — even if Trump shut down immigration, entirely — the United States creates terrorists at home and abroad at an alarming rate.
A closed border won’t change that. Indeed, the only way to lessen the chances a terrorist will attack on U.S. soil is for the U.S. to rein in belligerent, imperialist foreign policy, bring the military home, and use its bloated budget to begin patching the physical and emotional holes in this country.
Banning legal immigrants only deepens those wounds.
