The Terror Trail

Be Aware

There is internet noise concerning a pending nuclear attack(s) for Sept.-Oct. in the US. Pay attention to what the Islamists say. I do not have the link where I read this but search, for your own good, and read John Thompson's article; check the menu at left.



It's time for Palestinians to do the right thing Charles Krauthammer

[. . . . ] The Gaza withdrawal is not the beginning but the end. Apart from perhaps some evacuations of outlying settlements on the West Bank, it is the end of the concession road for Israel. And it is the beginning of the new era of self-sufficiency and separation in which Israel ensures its security not by concessions, but by fortification, barrier creation, realism and patient waiting.

Waiting for the first-ever genuine Palestinian concessions. Waiting for the Palestinians to honor the promises - to recognize Israel and renounce terrorism - they solemnly made at Oslo and brazenly betrayed. That's the next step. Without it, nothing happens.

Comparison of the size of Israel vs. the Arab World -- If size is not important, is it jealousy over their capability? Their freedom and democracy? What would account for the vows to destroy the people on this speck of land?



The End of Treason --"the notion of loyalty has fundamentally changed . . . . replaced by a loyalty to one's political community – socialism, liberalism, conservatism, or Islamism, to name some options" Daniel Pipes, New York Sun, August 16, 2005

[. . . . ] Indeed, Britain has seen no application of the Treason Act - originally passed in 1351 - since 1966, except for two minor instances.

This absence points to a deeper reality: the crime of treason is now as defunct as blue laws, prohibition of alcohol, or laws banning miscegenation. I predict that, short of radical changes, no Western state will again prosecute its citizens for treason.

Very interesting essay.



Fighting Terror with Your Hands Tied Behind Your Back

Why the FBI didn't Stop 9/11 -- "In August 2001, mere weeks before the greatest mass murder of civilians in U.S. history, the Justice Department squelched two prescient efforts to avert the attacks." Heather MacDonald, City Journal | November 3, 2002

The greatest obstacle to domestic security in the war on terror is the worldview of the liberal elites. No sooner had the Twin Towers fallen than the press and an army of advocacy groups were on the hunt for victims—not of Muslim fanaticism but of American bigotry. The liberal commentariat has denounced every commonsensical measure to protect the country the Bush administration has proposed as an eruption of racism or tyranny.

But the elite ideology began its corrosive work long before 9/11. [. . . . ]

The more I read, the more flabbergasted I am -- the situation defies common sense. Just read it. Is this what is going on in Canada now?

The frightening thing is that the would-be assailants were not terrorist adherents to the political ideology of Islamofascism when they went to jail. They became Islamists while in prison – thanks to the sort of recruitment opportunities afforded clerics usually selected by Saudi-backed Muslim-American organizations. Today, they are reportedly members of a prison gang called Jamat Ul-Islam Is Saheeh.

One year ago, prisoners at the New Folsom State Prison – a maximum-security facility outside Sacramento, California – reportedly began plotting terrorist attacks against three National Guard facilities, the Israeli consulate and several synagogues in the Los Angeles area. The attacks are believed to have been planned for the fourth anniversary of September 11th or the Jewish holidays. [. . . . ]
