Has The Threat To America Of A Repeat 9-11 Increased Since Hamas Assaulted Israel?

America, Emergency Preparedness, Headlines, Law and Order, World Affairs

Simple answer…yes! They skyrocketed when Biden came into office and renewed the weak, pandering policy towards radical Islam that Obama initiated.

Having so recklessly diminished our security and squandered our sole-superpower role, every rogue nation itching to increase their position in the world has plotted and prepared to take advantage of our having turned in our Sheriff’s badge. Russia-Ukraine, China-Taiwan, NORKO missiles flying over Japan, the invasion of the West by the Third World, and now The Islamic Brotherhood/Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran’s move on Israel are all manifestations of Joe’s abrogation of our responsibility to maintain order.

Since 9-11 there have been 34 incidents of Islamic terrorism in the U.S. [1] 139 people were killed in these incidents, 506 people injured. If we were to add what happened on 9-11, of course, the numbers would be much higher: 3132 killed; 9039 injured. The number of incidents, perhaps even the deaths and injuries, on paper, may appear relatively small, but the horror of the Boston Marathon bombing, the mass shooting at an Orlando Nightclub in 2012, the 2015 San Bernardino attack…we all recall the images, overrides the numbers.

With all the illegal aliens Biden has allowed to swarm across our border do you have any doubt that “sleeper cells” of terrorists assembled in countless one-bedroom apartments in chaotic cities but also in bucolic suburban towns are real, not just bad guys in Netflix movies?

Now we’re on the precipice of World War Three. Have any doubts about that? What are the chances of the following playing out over the next few weeks and months?

  1. Israel commits the majority of their resources in Gaza.
  2. Iran gives the signal for Hezbollah to launch a full scale attack from the North.
  3. The U.S., facing diminishing weapons stocks increasingly redirects resources to Israel from Ukraine allowing Russia to prevail and directly threaten NATO.
  4. Iran successfully galvanizes the Arab world, uniting Sunni’s and Shia in Jihad against Israel.
  5. The U.S. is forced to support Israel with air resources.
  6. China, holding backa at the moment, moves on Taiwan.
  7. The U.S. is forced to put tanks, artillery, Patriot missile batteries and even ground troops into Israel.
  8. Israel takes out the Iranian energy infrastructure.
  9. Iran together with other Arab states declares overt war on Israel.
  10. Israel nukes Iran’s uranium enrichment sites.

There are myriad scenarios with these elements being war-gamed in the basement of the Pentagon and elsewhere around the Western intelligence planning centers and they all sound like they were made for MSM prime time, “if it bleeds it leads”, “follow the money” programming. In short, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, and with missiles and bombs flying, tunnel-rats gearing up and moving out, war ships mustering…we’re sitting on a powder keg.

At what point do the mullahs of the Islamic Brotherhood give the signal for those terror cells to simultaneously come out of the woodwork and attack our highly vulnerable soft targets: churches, malls, theaters, stadiums, schools, etc.?

Are you aware that there are nine power substations in American that, if destroyed simultaneously, would knock down the ENTIRE U.S. power grid for from anywhere between three months and a year? And do you know how vulnerable these substations are to conventional small arms attack from 2-3 man squads of terrorists, or to cyber attacks such as the one that brought down the Colonial Pipeline in July 2021? Do you know how relatively easy it is/would be to blow up vans full of explosives in the tunnels or on the bridges leading to Manhattan thus bringing New York to a screeching, panic’ d halt? Many of us have felt the disruption and pain of natural disasters like Sandy, Katrina, Isaias, Maui, etc. but even more of us felt the effects of COVID and of course, 9-11. But have you ever seriously considered the implications of a 3 month + national grid down situation?

With things as precarious as they are in the world right now, with so many of us going about our daily lives as if nothing was going on, with our guard so down… if you were a terrorist wouldn’t you figure this would be a good time to assault America?

I implore my readers to contemplate the situation and PREPARE as best you can for those awful consequences that would attend YOU if what’s going on in the Middle East and elsewhere escalates into full blown kinetic, cyber and psychological war.

Get help and advice from whomever and wherever you trust (I would NOT trust government resources – the cavalry didn’t come over the hill in the knick of time for any of the disasters I mentioned earlier), but remember:

It’s too late to plan and prepare once it starts happening, whatever “it” is!

Head on a swivel, watch your six, STAY VIGILANT!

El Paso or Kyiv? It’s Not One Or The Other!

America, World Affairs

So in order to deflect the narrative away from all his failings here at home, Brandon makes a surprise visit to Kyiv. As an aside, Kyiv was, arguably the ancestral home of Russia, where the Varangians (Vikings) set up shop in the late 9th Century and became the capital of the “Kievan Rus” people’s progenitors, thus, Moscow can fairly claim some attachment to the City and to Ukraine as well.

But everything is political with the Democrats, and staged, and calculated to advance power or money. With national security questions surrounding the Chinese balloon, the Ohio train derailment, the continuing border crisis, the price of eggs, chicken farms going up in smoke, power outages, the latest COVID variant and of course wokeness in all its forms dominating the headlines and exposing this administration as the bumbling idiots they are, what better way to divert attention than with a war (remember “Wag the Dog”?) or better yet, a surprise trip to a war zone!

Bonus points to the Democrats for finding yet another way to divide our people. I’m watching/hearing conservative talking heads arguing vociferously for and against helping the Ukrainians. On the one hand, what business do we have spending godzillions of dollars defending a two-bit, corrupt country’s borders while we don’t even defend our own? On the other, how can we not defend them and the breadbasket they represent to our NATO allies and halt the advance of an adversary (enemy, really) seeking to expand its territory under the maniacal rule of a thug?

The reason we have the controversy at all is that the wokesters in power have so weakened our economy, our international standing and reputation, have so poisoned our internal discourse, have so fractured our society and understanding of foreign vs. domestic affairs, and have so “fundamentally transformed” us that neither we nor the rest of the world know where the hell we stand on anything!

While Trump boasting that this Russian invasion would not have occurred on his watch doesn’t burnish his image or reputation in my eyes, there is truth in the boast. It is not, however, because of Trump but because of the unmatched power and influence that America had when we were energy independent, had the border relatively under control, exhibited strength and adherence to traditional and conservative principles – all which we began to return to when Trump simply reversed the prior eight years’ “progressiveness”.

The choice doesn’t have to be between spending money at home or spending it abroad. While a tremendous amount of damage has been done by the dysfunctional adolescents in this Administration to both the United States and the balance of power in the world, all we would have to do is abandon the environmental gods and restore our energy independence, invest in our military, seal the border, and act like the sole remaining superpower we are instead of like a bunch of sniveling transgender, victim-celebrating losers who believe in the utopian fantasy that somehow “we can all get along”!

In other word, WE CAN DO BOTH, but no under this Administration! A trip to Kyiv by THIS President isn’t going to convince Putin to withdraw, or the Chinese to stop spying on us, or halt their Taiwan invasion planning, or the North Koreans from further developing their missile and nuclear technology, or the mullahs in Tehran to stop trying to figure out how they can wipe Israel off the map, or the Venezuelans from plotting how they can assimilate their neighbors, etc. etc.!

The chaos wrought by Biden and his Obama-inspired henchmen makes it impossible to predict what the outcome of this latest shiny object effort will be. The MSM are going to extol Biden’s ‘courage’ in the face of extraordinary danger (like Hillary coming under Bosnian sniper fire or similar nonsense) and continue to regurgitate the Democrat talking points, further confusing, dividing and pushing us all down the slippery slope.

Please keep your seat belts fastened, think skeptically and critically on EVERYTHING you read, hear or watch. We live in a Post-Truth world. Don’t parrot the media’s talking points from either the Right OR the Left. Ask yourself whether it makes sense, how it affects you, and PREPARE for a continuation of this Bizarro World.

On Ukraine

America, Politics, Reason, World Affairs

With all of the flak (.sic) out there on the Russia-Ukraine conflict and with virtually every political faction trying to score points out of it, what is one to think about what is transpiring over there? Here’s my take.

First, some context. Either the United States is the epitome of freedom, democracy and the best hope mankind has to achieve and maintain peace and prosperity or it is not. Fundamentally, what underlies America’s greatness are its natural and human resources, and its founding principles. The former gives us our wealth. The latter is the electricity that lights the beacon on the hill.

To varying degrees jealousy, envy, ego, megalomania, greed, and power hungriness on the part of the rest of the world, and, regrettably, fundamental, evil intent on the part of some, underlies a constant desire to knock us down. The regimes of Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and Venezuela are all cases in point.

Why has Putin invaded Ukraine? Obviously, it’s a combination of the factors cited above. Totally predictable (and it WAS predicted). And totally preventable (as the previous administration demonstrated).

Deterring Russia (and the other rogue states) and preventing incursions such as those in Crimea, Ukraine and prospectively Taiwan and South Korea CANNOT BE ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT STRENGTH AND RESOLVE. Biden and the weak, woke, sycophants who surround him have neither. It is emblematic of just how stupid they are that they focus on climate change and LBGTQ issues in the military ranks and tout these as ‘leadership’ instead of focusing on the strengthening of our country, increasing our self-reliance, projecting freedom and democracy.

What is it about the Left that they think “we can all get along”, to quote Rodney King, that if we are just nice to everyone, they will want to be nice back? It must be part of their utopian fantasy that makes them unable to understand that the only thing the Axis of Evil/rogue states understand is STRENGTH. Biden’s complete capitulation to the Left has allowed their leaders to point to America and assert “See, they’re not so big and powerful.”

At the core, Biden’s obliteration of our energy independence was a monumental shooting of ourselves in the foot (or some other part of our anatomy). At best it was sheer incompetence on his part driven by the eco-fascist lunatics he’s surrounded himself with. At worst it was TREASON!

But making us once again reliant on imported oil and thus unable to turn to Germany and say, “Stand strong, tell Russia they can keep their oil and gas and we’ll supply you with all you need” has allowed Russia to place a Damocles sword over Western Europe. Without our RESOLVE and STRENGTH, Germany has no choice but to treat Russia with kid gloves!

THIS is what Leftist rule has wrought. THIS is the damage we predicted the Democrats would do to us after November 2020. THIS is what the money and ideology-driven media and tech companies have empowered them to foist on not just our people, but the world as a whole. When the sheriff leaves town, the criminals and bandits have a field day, and that’s what’s happening in Ukraine.

Some have noted that for us to have done more, i.e. placed boots on the ground in Ukraine, would have put us into another costly war. But stupidly, Biden telegraphed to Putin that America wouldn’t do that, and with that assurance, Putin was free to make his move. What idiot tells his adversary what cards he’s willing to play and not play? It’s as if this moron was holding his cards backward so that Putin could not only read them clearly, but Biden couldn’t either!

The answer to the question Blinken was asked the other day, “Why didn’t this happen under the previous administration?” is simple…because Biden knew Trump would take pre-emptive or decisive action if Putin were to make the kind of military moves he did right in front of Biden’s nose. It’s laughable that the Left’s answer to this question is “Because Trump, as Putin’s puppet, gave Putin everything he wanted without his having to spend any military or political capital.” What pure, sheer BS!

But that’s what the Leftist media do. They concoct the most absurd explanations and justifications and with the right intonations and incantations, with the right music and backgrounds on their sets, they convince a good number of unthinking, gullible Americans that Biden and his crew are righteously engaged in solving the world’s problems.

If you’re as sick of this administration’s idiocy regarding Ukraine as you are of the COVID mess, I suggest you take some Maalox or Pepto Bismol, as I do, and hunker down prepared for a lot more of this S-show to come.
