IS, REBELS MOBILIZING AGAINST RUSSIA, IRAN

With the Russian military action in Syria the game has changed. What is Putin up to, and will he be successful? The internal conflict in Syria is just one part of the equation. There's a regional conflict raging between Sunnis and Shias, but there are also global tensions between Russia, the US and their proxies. And what about IS and Nusra?

UPDATE: If the report about the Cuban involvement is true, about half the former Eastern bloc is back in action in the region. Information surfaced today that IS is mobilizing the male population over the age of 14 under its control. According to reports, the Russians have killed 150 of Obama "moderate" Syrian rebels. Only last Monday they announced a new coalition, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) made up of #YPG, #FSA, #MSF and a few other rebel groups (tweet). Not against ISIS, but against Assad, Russia and Iran. Read also Yaroslav Trofimov @yarotrof excellent analysis  (tweet).

White House "Consistently" Morally Confused on Israel

The 'lone wolf' attack is the new Palestinian tactic of choice. In a week's time there have been over 150 separate assaults in Israel. How many lone wolf attacks does it take to constitute a coordinated war? PM Netanyahu has promised to settle the score, as civilians have started to arm themselves.

Here's the very revealing Mark Toner-@APDiploWriter exchange from today's briefing http://t.co/0SAFqZxuKZ (via @FreeBeacon) #Israel

UPDATE: This is a very interesting altercation between the White House spokesman Mark Toner and AP diplomatic writer, Matt Lee @APDiploWriter who is trying to make the former clarify the official WH stance that both Israelis and Palestinians must restrain from violence. As if Israel is somehow to blame for current spate of 'lone wolf' terrorist attacks against its own citizens. Toner doesn't even get what Lee is trying to do! Or he's pretending not to understand. He's reasoning from the logic that false moral equivalence between the Israelis and Palestinians is somehow fair, even handed and just being "consistent". What do you think? Does he really not understand the question, or is he pretending not to get it?

Russians and Saudis Agree On Common Goals

Russia has ramped up its presence in Syria, allegedly in order to fight ISIS, but also to prop up the Assad regime. Obama and his pro Muslim Brotherhood policies have made the West an irrelevant force in the Middle East.

UPDATE: The West's traditional allies are jumping the sinking ship of the Coalition of the Willing. Putin's star is rising. The damage Obama has done will take years to undo.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Arabia’s defense minister have agreed that Moscow and Riyadh should pursue common goals in Syria, including national reconciliation and combating terrorists, Russian FM Sergey Lavrov said. “First of all, they are to prevent a terrorist caliphate from getting the upper hand in Syria.” The second goal that we share with Riyadh is “ensuring the triumph of national reconciliation in Syria so that all Syrians, regardless of their nationality or religion, will feel masters of their land,” he said. 

In the meantime a new opposition coalition has been forged. Its goal is not to fight ISIS (there's another coalition to do that), but to combat the Assad-Russia-Iran axis.

THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE GOES TO..ARAB SPRING!

In the Arab Spring (not a grassroots movement) the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood was advanced with the support of the West. But tyranny by popular proclamation isn't Liberty, or even democracy. Geo politically the policy has destabilized the entire Middle East and North Africa.

Sep 1, 2015 In the Arab Spring, Tunisians hoped that jobs and prosperity would follow the rise of democracy in their country. Now, Tunisia is the number 1 supplier of rats for the Islamic State.

UPDATE: The progressive supranationalists of Nobel Committee striking again! The Economist has the gall to call the Arab Spring disaster in Tunisia "a rare success". A country that, like Egypt, managed to save itself from the onslaught of democratic Islamism in the nick of time! As we read in this log, Tunisia is the number 1 supplier of ISIS rats! The Nobel Peace Prize ought to be renamed the Orwell Peace Prize!

Nobel peace prize. A rare Arab-spring success story is rewarded http://t.co/DtvERguDQS pic.twitter.com/i07EIbEp2i

(Free PDF) Christians Sacrificing Their Brethern To 'Interfaith Dialogue'

Islamic supremacists are playing Christians like a violin. They are able to do so, because postmodern Christians are obsessed with self sacrifice at the expense of Christian solidarity. All Islamic supremacists have to do is to prioritize interfaith dialogue.

In this new monograph, adapted from Annex 1 of his superb recent book

Catastrophic Failure: Blindfolding America in the Face of Jihad

Senior Fellow at the Center for Security Policy Stephen Coughlin explains what’s really behind the so-called ‘interfaith dialogue movement’ and how the Muslim Brotherhood has co-opted the well-meaning but misguided intentions of the Catholic Church in particular. Mr. Coughlin’s expertise in the nexus between Islamic Law (shariah) and Islamic terrorism informs his exposure of the manipulative Brotherhood strategy to use the interfaith dialogue arena as an opportunity to edge Catholics toward a dislocation of faith so as to pave the way for the insinuation of shariah into American faith communities and society in general.

Obama Furious About Dutch Rejection Of Gitmo Terrorists

A diplomatic row has erupted between the US and the Netherlands over its rejection of two terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay. It exposes why the West is at a loss how to deal with the Islamic concepts of the State, Rights and Holy War.

Osama bin Laden's Body Guard Goes Free. (H/t Saving Grace FB page)

A diplomatic row is emerging between the US and the Dutch Government. The official foreign policy of the Netherlands since the end of the Second World War has been staunchly progressively internationalist. The product of this policy is the infamous annual Bilderberg conference (link), the silent implementation of the UN's Agenda 21, The Hague as the seat of the International Court of Law and the International Criminal Court and the country's legal innovation of voluntarily subjecting national law to international treaties. This is why the rejection to accept two detainees from the US terrorist prison at Guantanamo Bay comes as somewhat of a shock.

BILDERBERGER WINS AUSSIE PREMIER POST

Australia's Liberal Conservative PM Tony Abbott last night lost a party leadership challenge to a rival, the Progressive Liberal, Malcolm Turnbull. The new PM at once promised "cultural changes under his Government".  As a member of the Ruling Class Turnbull has strong Bilderberg credentials. 

Feb 8, 2015 Lord Monckton telling an audience in Perth, Australia to look after PM Tony Abbott. H/t @JackieAUS

Earlier in February Lord Monckton told an Aussie audience that their PM Tony Abbott @TonyAbbottMHR would be the last man standing between the Radical Left and their plan to have every country in agreement to bring about a new global Treaty on "climate change" (previously referred to as "global warming"). Last night Tony Abbott faced a party leadership/PM challenge that he lost to his liberal rival. Turnbull is a pragmatist banker, career politician and member of the ruling class, who is on board with all the Cultural Marxist hobbies you can think of: gay marriage, climatism, open borders, amoralism, cap-and-trade, truth by consensus, multiculturalism and Islam apologetics. (Meet the New Guy) Although @TurnbullMalcolm stated in his first presser that the government's position on climate change will stay the same for the moment, Lord Monckton's prediction that Abbott would be removed from office, is now a fact. The Left is having a party, a sure sign of bad news. Abbott is described as "divisive", which is one degree worse than "controversial". ZeroHedge has the Bilderberg angle: 

And here’s BBC with what you need to know about Turnbull: Who is Malcolm Turnbull?

Femen Protesters Bare Breasts At Islamic Conference

Two Femen protesters stormed the stage at an Islamic conference in France yesterday. Disguised in black burkas the women made their way to the stage where they took down their tops showing their naked bodies. They were soon taken into custody by the police.

Sep 13, 2015 Two Femen activists half-naked and with messages written on their bodies jumping the Muslim Salon in Pontoise, France.

Feminist activists of the Femen action group stormed the stage yesterday during an Islamic conference in Pontoise near Paris. Dressed in black burkas the women threw off their tops showing their naked breasts, protesting the patriarchate and male domination in Islam. "No one can subjugate me, no one owns me, I am my own prophet" were some of the texts written on their bodies. The two women were quickly overwhelmed by security and offended men in the audience. Both women have an Islamic background. They were kicked and hit by angry religionists and taken into custody by the police (presumably an all male squad).

A Look At the Hidden Origins of the Koran

In 1972, during the restoration of the Great Mosque of Sana’a in Yemen laborers stumbled across the remarkable resting place of tens of thousands of parchment fragments of an early Koran.

The standard histories of Muhammad and the early development of Islam are based on Islamic literature that dates to the ninth and tenth centuries--some two centuries or more after the death of Muhammad in 632.

What is the Koran? 

By Toby Lester

“Increasingly diverse interpretations of the Koran and Islamic history will inevitably be proposed in the coming decades, as traditional cultural distinctions between East, West, North, and South continue to dissolve, as the population of the Muslim world continues to grow, as early historical sources continue to be scrutinized, and as feminism meets the Koran. With the diversity of interpretations will surely come increased fractiousness, perhaps intensified by the fact that Islam now exists in such a great variety of social and intellectual settings. … More than ever before, anybody wishing to understand global affairs will need to understand Islamic civilization, in all its permutations.”

World Beard Day: Getting a Close Shave!

The beard revival is sometimes tied to the resurgence of old-fashioned masculinity. After the well-clipped metrosexual trend of the 2000s, the beard returned with a bang. The facial jungle for men (and for women) is sometimes associated with the gender culture. But is that all there's to it? PomoNews investigates. 

Happy #WorldBeardDay, fuzz-loving followers! pic.twitter.com/QBuUyllIdC

As a blog that has as its central theme, the cultural destruction of Western civilization we can't very well abstain from commenting on the renaissance of the facial hair. It comes in trendy bushy beards, goatees, designer stubble and the ironical female mustache. As explanation for the trend religion comes to mind (the Muslim beard comes in various varieties), as well as the Freudian sexual connotation, and the gender bending approach of the Postmodern hipster. From the school of behaviorism we have the scientismic rationale of Dr. Cyril Gueter who holds that the distinguishing characteristics among apes are correlated to beards in humans. (Source) But man isn't an ape. None of these explanations is quite satisfactory. We have given the issue some thought and have come up with a philosophical perspective that is also missing from "What a beard really says about a man". (Source)
