Happy New Year (Unless You’re a Jew)

Posted on by

Israel has finally acted to defend their population from Islamist rocket fire and as expected the Left has vilified the tiny state for having the temerity to not simply allow Muslims to murder Jews at random. What has perhaps shocked many was how openly anti-Semitic leftists have been, even ones in the public eye.

The dust hadn’t cleared from the first day when Communist front group A.N.S.W.E.R. (who caused much of the violence at the RNC) started emailing people on their list to support “Palestine” against Israel. They have organized marches in several major cities including New York, New Haven C.T., Washington D.C. and were present at a violent protest in Fort Lauderdale.

Here is video of that protest taken by Tom Trento of WatchObsession.org which shows the collection of Muslims and leftists calling for Jews to “go back in the ovens” and the police having to restrain them from attacking pro-Israel protesters:

Charming. Even better DailyKos is up to their old tricks, using White Nationalist website Stormfront as a source for a post claiming Israel tried to murder insane pedophilia supporter Cynthia McKinney.

Speaking of blockade running, McKinney’s ill-planned attempt had a very special guest along for the ride – a CNN reporter. That’s right, CNN has embedded reporters with terrorist supporting blockade runners:

Lefty darling Rachel Maddow came dangerously close to blood libel on her show. Will that affect her viewers? Probably not according to this Rasmussen poll which shows that only 31% of Democrats support Israel’s right to respond to Hamas rocket fire. I’ll repeat that. Less than a third of Democrats believe Israel should respond to months of rocket fire by Hamas. Shamefully, Republican support for Israel is only at 62%.

Atals Shrugs has a great round-up of how barbaric the pro-Palestinian protests have been. Z.A.C. is a great source of information on the Leftist-Islamist axis. But you needn’t actually have to do research to see where this is going. The left has completed the transition they began a few years ago back from multiculturalist flower children to the Jew hating “progressives” of the 1920s. Jews are being targeted here on our own streets. And they will only be the first.

The left is cheering on the destruction of the Jews and when they are done who will be next? Gun owners? Christians? Already Blacks have found themselves the targets of left wing racism in the suburbs of San Francisco. The left has become more Marxist, more militant and more hateful than ever. We can stand up to them now, or wait as one by one every group they dislike are demonized and broken by them an their Islamist allies.

Support Israel and groups like Stand with US in their fight to counter the hatred of the radical left. If you are near the Westwood area of Los Angles tomorrow (Jan 2nd) Allyson Rowen Taylor of Shariah Finance Watch is organizing a counter-protest to a large anti-Israel protest and could use your support.

The fight for freedom can only be won when Western Civilization flourishes. As long as we are being torn apart from within we will continue to crumble. It is time for all Americans to stand up against the divisive radicalism that has sided with our enemies and state clearly that allowing a second Holocaust is not permissible.

Hate Preaching in American Mosques

Brigitte Gabriel of Act for America describes the kind of misanthropic “education” Saudi funded Mosques are giving Muslims in America. This will be one of the contributing factors to a future Balkanization of America:

Apropos of nothing, I sometimes get the occasional email asking why I am no longer active with the Greenville A.F.A. chapter. For the record the Greenville chapter was basically a group of people who wanted me to forward news clippings and blog posts from one to another. Other A.F.A. chapters are quite different and active, but though I support Act for America I’m not interested in running an email list for people who can’t be bothered to set up a Google news alert. Call me when you guys are ready to actually act for America.

U.S. Army War College Predicts Doomsday in U.S.

Posted on by

A new paper released by the War College gives a bleak outlook for America’s readiness to respond to a variety of challenges during the next administration, challenges that the authors seem to expect will happen fairly soon. From World Tribune:

WASHINGTON
— The United States could be sleep-walking into its next crisis, a military
report said.

The report by the U.S. Army War College’s Strategic Institute, said that a defense community paralyzed by conventional thinking could be unprepared to help the United States cope with a series of unexpected crises that would rival the Al Qaida strikes in 2001, termed a “strategic shock.”

The report cited the prospect of the collapse of a nuclear state leading to massive unrest in the United States.

“Widespread civil violence inside the United States would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security,” the report, authored by [Ret.] Lt. Col. Nathan Freir, said.

“Deliberate employment of weapons of mass destruction or other catastrophic capabilities, unforeseen economic collapse, loss of functioning political and legal order, purposeful domestic resistance or insurgency, pervasive public health emergencies, and catastrophic natural and human disasters are all paths to disruptive domestic shock.”

Titled “Known Unknowns: Unconventional Strategic Shocks in Defense Strategy Development,” the report warned that the U.S. military and intelligence community remain mired in the past as well as the need to accommodate government policy. Freier, a former Pentagon official, said that despite the Al Qaida surprise in 2001 U.S. defense strategy and planning remain trapped by “excessive convention.”

“The current administration confronted a game-changing ‘strategic shock’ inside its first eight months in office,” the report said. “The next administration would be well-advised to expect the same during the course of its first term. Indeed, the odds are very high against any of the challenges routinely at the top of the traditional defense agenda triggering the next watershed inside DoD [Department of Defense].”

The report cited the collapse of what Freier termed “a large capable state that results in a nuclear civil war.” Such a prospect could lead to uncontrolled weapons of mass destruction proliferation as well as a nuclear war.

The report cited the prospect of a breakdown of order in the United States. Freier said the Pentagon could be suddenly forced to recall troops from abroad to fight domestic unrest.

The paper can be read here. I’m still doing a second reading of it to be sure, but basically this paper predicts at least a semi-collapse of the United States. I’m going out to buy more guns and ammo.

Anti-kidnapping Expert Kidnapped in Mexico

Posted on by

From Fox:

MEXICO CITY — A well-known U.S. anti-kidnapping expert has himself fallen victim to Mexico’s wave of abductions as unidentified assailants snatched him from a street in the northern city of Saltillo, one of his employers said Monday.

The kidnapping of U.S. security consultant Felix Batista — who was in Saltillo to offer advice on how to confront abductions for ransom — showed how bold Mexico’s kidnappers have become. Attacks on U.S. anti-crime consultants have largely been the stuff of movies.

“We have notified the FBI and Mexican authorities, and they are working on the case,” said Charlie LeBlanc, the president of the Houston, Texas-based security firm ASI Global LLC., where Batista is a consultant. “What we are doing is we’re offering our support to the family and hoping for the best.”

The U.S. Embassy in Mexico City said it would not comment on the case, and LeBlanc would not say whether any ransom demand had been received, saying “I’d rather not talk about it right now.”

LeBlanc said Batista “was abducted on the evening of Dec. 10 by unknown assailants” in Saltillo, the capital of Coahuila state. He said Batista had his own security business and that “he was in Mexico for business that wasn’t associated with our company.”

[…]

A profile of Batista posted — and later removed — from the ASI Global Web site described him as “the primary case officer for all cases throughout the Latin American region.”

The site said Batista was a former U.S. Army major who is “known for conducting in-depth threat assessments, the successful resolution of nearly 100 kidnap and ransom cases (many on behalf of major insurance carriers) and investigations.”

The company denied local media reports that Batista was a former FBI agent, and warned those reports could put his life at risk.

“We at ASI are very concerned for Felix’s safety and would like to take this opportunity of stating categorically that Felix has never been an agent in the FBI,” the company said in a statement. “Irresponsible and erroneous reporting in the press could pose a very real threat to Felix’s life and the safe resolution of this terrible situation and must be corrected.”

The seizure seems to echo the plot of a 2004 movie, “Man on Fire,” in which Denzel Washington played a U.S. security consultant who takes on Mexican kidnappers and is abducted himself.

Batista helped negotiate the release of hostages from FARC and given their connection to the drug trade we shouldn’t rule out cartels or kidnapping gangs being hired or conscripted to get back at Batista.

Via Michelle Malkin this report puts forward the theory the kidnapping was simply a message to the world that Mexico belongs to the Cartels:

Batista, a Miami-based Cuban American credited with negotiating the release of victims abducted by Colombian rebels, was snatched after he stepped outside the restaurant, answering a call on his cellular phone, Mexican media said.

The U.S. embassy in Mexico City said it was investigating and declined to comment further.

“He may have been targeted by organized crime in an attempt to show their power. Saltillo is not a kidnapping hot spot,” said a source at Coahuila state attorney general’s office.

Batista’s employer, Houston-based ASI Global, denied Mexican media reports that he was a former FBI agent and said he was on a private trip in Coahuila state near Texas, giving seminars on security.

“We have requested help from the FBI and the Mexican authorities,” said ASI Global’s President Charlie LeBlanc.

Hundreds of people are kidnapped in Mexico every year and the number of victims has increased sharply as drug gangs, under pressure from President Felipe Calderon’s army-backed crackdown, seek new revenues to fund their operations.

Here’s a question for legalization advocates. If the theory that legalization will simply break the gangs as they go into the poor house is one of your central arguments, how’s that last sentence grab you?

Texas Corndog Heiress Rescued from Suspected Illegal Alien Kidnapping Gang

Posted on by

Experts have been warning that kidnappings of prominent locals, common in Mexico, would be increasingly seen in America as we lose complete control of our border and ultimately our border states. 21-year-old Amber Fletcher learned that wealth and a well known family can put a person in danger of being targeted by people who are used to being able to prey upon those with means unmolested in the failed states they come from. From the Chron:

DOUBLE OAK, Texas — A woman whose family owns Fletcher’s Corny Dogs was rescued from kidnappers after a 12-hour ordeal and dramatic effort by multiple law enforcement agencies and her mother.

Amber Fletcher, 21, whose family introduced corn dogs to the Texas State Fair in the 1940s, was abducted early Monday by three men from her Denton County home in the town of Double Oak, authorities said.

She was found about 12 hours later after one of the men was stopped by officers while Fletcher’s mother was meeting him to pay the $100,000 ransom, Texas Ranger Tracy Murphree told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram for a story in its Tuesday online edition.

The man, later identified as Adolfo Chavez, 39, then led officers to Fletcher and two accomplices, Murphree said. Amber Fletcher was bound but otherwise unhurt, Murphree said Tuesday morning.

Amber’s mother Glenda Fletcher answered the phone at the family’s home Tuesday morning and said she couldn’t talk after such a rough night.

“Everything is OK. Our daughter is safe,” she told The Dallas Morning News for a story in Tuesday online editions.

Chavez, 39, of Dallas; Candelario Romero, 44, of Justin; and Porras Placido, 37, of Irving; were being held Tuesday at the Denton County Jail charged with aggravated kidnapping, a first-degree felony punishable by up to life in prison.

Bond was set at $200,000 for Chavez and at $250,000 each for Placido and Romero, according to jail records.

Chavez and Placido won’t be released because they are suspected of being in the U.S. illegally and a hold was placed on them by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The ordeal began just before 11 a.m. Monday when Amber Fletcher called her mother, saying she needed $100,000 or the kidnappers would kill her, according to an affidavit.

Glenda Fletcher then called Double Oak police, who learned that Amber Fletcher lived next door to her parents and stayed with them Sunday night, but kidnappers were waiting at her home when she returned Monday morning.

Investigators believe Chavez, their former neighbor, knew their habits and regular activities, Murphree said.

I’m glad she’s safe. Notice that the perpetrators were not young men, they were in their late 30s and 40s and one knew the family. This was not a spur of the moment crime by street thugs, but the importation of violence by a policy of non-assimilation pursued by America.

This time the victim was saved, hopefully before anything truly traumatic happened to her (beyond the kidnapping of course) but the next victim will not be so lucky.

Via Breitbart here’s a video report of the story:
