Secret video smuggled out the IS capital, Raqqa

The Coalition is engaging in limited 'kinetic' strikes against the Islamic State in Syria. John Kerry has said the objective of this long term counter-terrorist op is not the destruction of IS. It is consistent with the Western contradictory strategy to combat Assad as well. 



An activist group that secretly operates inside ISIS's home base talks about how they risk their lives to get the story out.

WEST IS CLUELESS ABOUT ISLAMIC STATE

Western politicians led by Barack Obama have a false idea about what moves Islamic terrorists and the Islamic State. The present policy is useless. Last weekend a very important article was posted that explains the integrated IS ideology.

Feb 9, 2015 Charles Krauthammer: Obama thinks a strategy to defeat Islamic State is not necessary. 

The American conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer gets it. Separating Islam from the Islamic State has consequences. It not just absolves Islam of the crimes committed by the Islamic State in the name of the religion of peace. The problem becomes intractable, because nothing is done to get to the root. But there are also consequences how to combat the Islamic State. Because of the false identification (random crime, instead of systematic warfare) we are going haphazardly after unrelated incidents. Western Governments vow to combat terrorists; but they are sent through the revolving door of the penal justice system and come out free men at the other end, because the standards are civil, rather than military. (A Dutch Court yesterday found two men not guilty of preparing to carry out terrorist attacks by joining radical Islamic groups in Syria: source.) These people are walking time bombs waiting to explode. What we need is an institute like GITMO to take these asymmetic killers off the battle field.

WHY CHILD LABOR ISN'T AN EVIL, BUT A GOOD.

Last year the CEO of the Ayn Rand Institute, Yaron Brook, made a very successful tour of Europe. One particular segment in his speeches attracted particular flack from the audience: that child labor is a phase in the development of Capitalism and isn't an evil, but a good.

The most watched video from the European tour: Yaron Brook vs. student.

Muslims Protesting #CharlieHebdo in London

Terror at the offices of the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. 17 people have been killed. European leaders then held the faux styrofoam #ParisMarch of Surrender, poking one in the eye of Jihadists. Here's the fall out.

UPDATE: Three things about "being offended" as a means of control. 1. Don't buckle to the pressure. 2. No one can offend you without your consent. 3. Truth seekers can't be offended. OK, here are offended Muslims exercising their freedom of speech to demand the end of freedom of speech. So glad Monty doesn't have to see this.

What Obama's Prayer Breakfast Speech Is Telling Us

Indications that the core of the Obama regime consists of committed Marxist postmodernists has been well known, far before he was ever elected President. For a long time the White House  have been able to mask its nature. But with the wrapping up of the Presidency, the ugly truth is becoming much more apparent.

Feb 7, 2015 Judge Jeanine Pirro Opening Statement on Obama's telling Prayer Breakfast.

UPDATE:

Obama’s words endorsed the actions of ISIS as justifiable response to the behavior of Christians during the Crusades http://t.co/6h3gB2JTEV

THE ISIS IDEOLOGY DRIVES IT TO EVER GREATER SAVAGERY

The video showing the burning alive of the captive Jordanian pilot prompted revulsion around the world. Propaganda!, cried Islam apologists. Don't show it! But behind this outrage is a postmodern ideology that is driving the Islamic State to ever more terror and brutality. If true, we ain't seen nothing yet. 

This image is not meant as 'propaganda', as an elevator pitch. It's terror, intimidation aimed at breaking the will of anyone who even thinks of resistance. 

The burning to death in a locked cage of captured Jordanian pilot Muadh al- Kasasbeh by Islamic State was barbarous even by its own brutal standards. The group struggled to justify the live immolation of a Muslim prisoner with the ease it did in previous cases of heinous crimes. In a written fatwa about two weeks before the video, Isis-affiliated clerics cited differences of opinion over the issue among Sunni Islam’s four schools of jurisprudence. In the end, the Isis clerics ruled that immolation is "forbidden in principle" but "permissible in cases of reciprocity". In previous cases, Isis found little difficulty in citing evidence to back the religious legitimacy of its acts.

Dutch Journalist Faces Terror Propaganda Charges in Turkey

While the Dutch Foreign Secretary was visiting Turkey, the anti terror police arrested Dutch journalist Frederike Geerdink on suspicion of 'terrorism propaganda'. It is now reported that Geerdink is facing charges. Turkey is one of the worst oppressors of the free press.

Why European Integrationists Hate the State of Israel

Europe is justifying picking on Israel by holding its 'own' to a higher standard than say, Third World countries, or the Palestinians. At the core this hypocrisy is the racism of the diminished expectation. It says in fact: the other guys are subhuman so we don't expect them to behave as such. 



Dec 12, 2014 The European Stance on Israel Is Racist To the Core: Caroline Glick is demolishing the patronizing racism of European ambassadors during the Europe-Israel panel at The Jerusalem Post Diplomatic Conference.

UPDATE: Israel’s story is by no means unblemished; but it is uplifting. It’s a story of how freedom can take root in even the most unpromising conditions. Such a story appeals to optimistic types, but repels the envious, the eternally aggrieved, the gloomsters who see free markets as some kind of racket — the same people, indeed, who tend also to be anti-British and anti-American, whether they be Left Bank intellectuals or Putinite nationalists or Bolivarian revolutionaries.

Israel rankles Europeans so much because it strikes at the Euro-integrationist's entire worldview. http://t.co/o5znMB4luD via @DanHannanMEP

Apollo Versus Dionysos: Gimme Shelter (1969)

In a lecture Ayn Rand provides a concretization of the issue of reason vs. emotion via an analysis of two contrasting events of 1969: the glorious achievement of the Apollo 11 moon flight and the mindless mud-wallowing of the Woodstock rock festival

Gimme Shelter 1969 - The Rolling Stones. (Wiki) (Lyrics)

Like Romantic literature is inexplicably great in a period that is essentially horrid, so the 1968 generation created great, inspiring music in the time that was in essence cataclysmic for Western civilization. It was the height of Cultural Marxism that did away with the last vestiges of the rule of reason. From here onwards mad Dionysos took over and tore every last shred of Apollonian reign. The free love and peace on offer by the new generation and their noble aspirations hadn't been unmasked by then, as it is now. The rainbow shibboleth towards the end of the video is now associated with Barack Obama's faux war on ISIL. And we are reminded of the sheer hypocrisy that determines this culture: the Islamic State that is raping and murdering across the Middle East at will without any noticeable objection of the folks that come out in numbers whenever they see a possibility to charge free countries with war crimes. Key is not the evil of "Rape, murder, just a shot away", but rather who can be accused of doing it.
