WAR FRONT NEWS YOU WON'T HEAR ABOUT

FBI Needs to Answer Questions

One of the first things to watch for – and why the media hasn’t picked this up yet is a mystery – is how deep American civil liberties have allowed pro-jihad-appearing domestic and/or naturalized Muslims to infiltrate the FBI.

Yes, THAT Federal Bureau of Investigation. A pairing to look for is FBI investigator Gamal Abdel-Hafiz and Florida-based professor Sami al-Arian. If there is substance to the rumors that Hafiz did his utmost to insure al-Arian didn’t get convicted of aiding and abetting Palestinian plots to assassinate and kill Americans, the FBI has a much bigger problem that worrying about pictures of J.Edgar in a dress.

The full article can be found on the American Congress for Truth site.


Germany the Next France?

That’s not something you hear everyday, but conditions are ripe in Germany for Muslim riots of French proportion. A German-to-English-translated article in The New York Times Magazine of December 4 should be an eye opener for German politicians – and weak-kneed liberals of every country – on what happens when kow-towing and trying to please all groups – ethnic, religious, social, et al – without any thought to the ramifications.

Kudos to the mag (yes, I said congratulations to The New York Times) for running the article … even if no fanfare was attached.

According to a German-based Muslim institute, there are some 3.2 million Muslims in Germany, nearly 15,000 of which are German born. That info comes courtesy of the Islamic Republic News Agency.

It Ain’t Over Even If the Fat Lady DOES Sing

The Syria Times, a daily out of Damascus, is beating the drums about how it has helped Lebanon end its civil war/occupation and is being unfairly blamed for killing journalists and politicians there. Now, THERE’S a tinderbox ready to ignite.

For some reason I can’t help but think that the wrong assassination/murder in Syria, Lebanon or Israel (though the latter seem to have more sense) would have all the implications of the June 1914 assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. That, you’ll recall, ignited World War I … and the other conditions that existed in Europe at that time are surprisingly similar to conditions in North Africa today.

Poppies. That Will Put Them To Sleep

(Title from The Wizard of Oz).

Bad news, good news department, depending on whether you’re a junky, drug dealer or cop. Afghanistan’s poppy/heroin production is said to be up for this year. What happened to the good old days when buying heroin was part of a military program. Oh. That’s right. It didn’t work. Sorry, sorry. It never happened.
