	<title>Bias against Israel in 'Foreign Affairs' [CFR]</title>
	<description>This is one of my postings at Free Republic, after being emailed by a Jewish friend.  Concerns on the content of the latest copy of &lt;I&gt;Foreign Affairs&lt;/I&gt; put out by the Councilon Foreign Relations:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;
&lt;HR&gt;
&lt;P&gt;
&lt;I&gt;""In the current issue of FOREIGN AFFAIRS, the foreign policy journal put out by the Council on Foreign Relations, this full page, color ad appeared on the inside back cover. Look at it carefully. See who is designated as "Resistance" and who is designated as bring "Stability" to the situation. In the upside down, topsy-turvy world of double-speak this is being promulgated via every library in the U.S. as well as in every University and college library.&lt;/I&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

&lt;I&gt;NOTE: The "transportation link" which effectively bisects Israel into two parts, making it even more vulnerable.&lt;/I&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

&lt;I&gt;No mention as to who this group is, or who funded this ad? It wasn’t cheap.&lt;/I&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

	<title>Should Israel Bomb Iran? - Better safe than sorry</title>
	<description>By:  Reuel Marc Gerecht (The Weekly Standard)&lt;br&gt;
There is only one thing that terrifies Washington’s foreign policy establishment more than the prospect of an American airstrike against Iran’s nuclear-weapons facilities: an Israeli airstrike. Left, right, and center, &amp;ldquo;sensible” people view the idea with alarm. Such an attack would, they say, do great damage to the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan, where Tehran would counterattack, punishing &amp;ldquo;the Great Satan” (America) for the sins of &amp;ldquo;the Little Satan” (Israel). An Israeli strike could lead to the closing of the world’s oil passageway, the Strait of Hormuz; prompt Muslims throughout the world to rise up in outrage; and spark a Middle Eastern war that might drag in the United States. Barack Obama’s &amp;ldquo;New Beginning” with Muslims, such as it is, would be over the moment Israeli bunker-busting bombs hit. &lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;

An Israeli &amp;ldquo;preventive” attack, we are further told, couldn’t possibly stop the Islamic Republic from developing a nuke, and would actually make it more likely that the virulently anti-Zionist supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, would strike Israel with a nuclear weapon. It would also provoke Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps to deploy its terrorist assets against Israel and the United States. Hezbollah, the Islamic Revolution’s one true Arab child, would unleash all the missiles it has imported from Tehran and Damascus since 2006, the last time the Party of God and the Jewish state collided.

	<title>New Special Report: If Israel strikes Iran’s nuclear facilities</title>
	<description>In "The Israeli Threat; An analysis of the Consequences of Israeli Strikes on Iranian Nuclear Facilities", Sam Gardiner examines one possible and increasingly likely outcome of the Iran-West controversy.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

If Israel were to decide that it had no choice but to strike Iranian nuclear facilities, what would be the consequences? This is the question Sam Gardiner tackles in this Special Report.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

Israel seems to be losing confidence in the commitment of the Obama Administration to protect its interests with respect to Iran. As tensions with the U.S. increase on this and other issues Israel is arguably pushed in a direction that could lead to an attack against Iran sooner rather than later.

	<title>A Mosque At Ground Zero? Forsaking Israel? What’s Next...A Nuclear Iran?</title>
	<description>&lt;BR&gt;
Ilario Pantano is running for North Carolina’s 7th Congressional District.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"Cordoba Center" sounds comfortably Latino and almost familiar in a multi-ethnic city like New York.  The name’s Spanish origin has a little bit of history too: the Cordoba Mosque in Spain symbolized a gateway to Muslim conquest of Western Europe - a conquest that today is unfolding in real time.  But as disturbing as the sharia invasion of the European Union might be, my concern is the new $100 million mosque that will sit smugly just 600 feet from Ground Zero in New York City. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

This new Cordoba Mosque will occupy a building that was literally struck by pieces of an exploding passenger aircraft deliberately piloted into the World Trade Center by martyrs shouting &amp;ldquo;Allahu Akbar.”  The suggestion that this mysteriously funded mosque is anything other than a permanent demonstration of Islam’s march on the West is naïve at best.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

This Cordoba Mosque is not benign.  It is not about reconciliation or understanding.  It is about marking religious, ideological and territorial conquest. This mosque is a martyr-marker honoring the terrorists who less than a decade ago killed thousands of us just two blocks away, and &lt;b&gt;it must be stopped.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

	<title>How radical Islam might defeat the West: A reprise</title>
	<description>This was published today in Asia Times.  The choices continue to get harder.  As Barack Obama is, and will prove to be, a weaker president than Jimmy Carter, this only leaves Israel to shoulder the hard choices and take the lead in saving [if it is indeed still worth saving] Western civilization.&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;i&gt;"A decade ago I argued that radical Islam might horrify the West into submission through the mass sacrifice of Muslim lives. During the past two weeks Iran has virtually invited a nuclear exchange with the West, in a series of statements that blend a deranged sort of bluster with malevolent calculation.&lt;i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Iran's Kayhan press service warned last week, "If the US strikes Iran with nuclear weapons, there are elements which will respond with nuclear blasts in the centers of America's main cities." Meanwhile, Behzad Soltani, the number two man at Iran's Atomic Commission, proclaimed last week, "Iran will join the world nuclear club within a month in a bid to deter possible attacks on the country," adding, "No country would even think about attacking Iran once it is in the club."

	<title>Imagining an Israeli Strike on Iran</title>
	<description>"In 1981, Israel  destroyed Iraq’s nuclear reactor at Osirak, declaring it could not live with the chance the country would get a nuclear weapons capability. In 2007, it wiped out a North Korean-built reactor in Syria. And the next year, the Israelis secretly asked the Bush administration for the equipment and overflight rights they might need some day to strike Iran’s much better-hidden, better-defended nuclear sites.&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;

They were turned down, but the request added urgency to the question: Would Israel take the risk of a strike? And if so, what would follow? [New York Times - &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/28/weekinreview/28sangerintro.html"&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Editor's Note: That this was printed in the New York Times should give one pause.  I believe the global political/cultural arena is being primed to face the eventuality of an Israeli strike on Iran, as I have been saying for years.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

	<title>(Fort Hood) Mark Steyn: Shooter exposes hole in U.S. terror strategy</title>
	<description>&lt;img src="http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r73/salem21_2006/steyn_small.jpg" align="left"&gt;"Thirteen dead and 28 wounded would be a bad day for the U.S. military in Afghanistan and a great victory for the Taliban. When it happens in Texas, in the heart of the biggest military base in the nation, at a processing center for soldiers either returning from or deploying to combat overseas, it is not merely a "tragedy" (as too many people called it) but a glimpse of a potentially fatal flaw at the heart of what we have called, since 9/11, the "war on terror." Brave soldiers trained to hunt down and kill America's enemy abroad were killed in the safety and security of home by, in essence, the same enemy – a man who believes in and supports everything the enemy does.&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;

	<title>Statesmanship and Its Betrayal - Mark Helprin</title>
	<description>I first read this in 1998; forwarded by an elder statesman on one of the many email lists I was on in the eve of the Clinton administration.  It is more relevant today - the need for reform in Washington and American politics - than it was then.&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Sarah Palin haters have little to throw against her but third-grader school yard insults and empty ad hominem attacks against her and her family.  The vaccuous, empty substance of progressive liberalism continues to be laid bare before society.&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;

But the most vile attackers are the staus-quo, corrupt old derelicts of the GOP, from Newt Gingrich, to McCain backers, and on down the line.  The biggest threat a Palin campaign - and the return of true statesmanship - is to them.  As it should be.

	<title>The Moral Compass Of The Nation</title>
	<description>Bill Barnstead was an online friend of my associate, &lt;a href="http://www.jonchristianryter.com/"&gt;Jon Christian Ryter&lt;/a&gt;.  He recently passed away and Jon has written an &lt;a href="http://www.jonchristianryter.com/Plain_Talk/090710.html"&gt;excellent obituary&lt;/a&gt; for the man.  I took the liberty of reposting one of Bill's more notable commentaries on the site.  It has to be one of the most concise summations of the recklessness and treachery of elitist Republican decision making, offered in the wake of the GOP decline.&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;

In my interpretation, a "Conservative" is someone who seeks to conserve the values and ethics which many of the older generation — those which built this country — held, and do hold dear.  Bill Barnstead was one of those older generation whose lives and worldview I personally continue to uphold and study.&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;&lt;/hr&gt;

"...The Election of 2006 was more than just a repudiation of a president who tarnished the mantle of the Reagan legacy. It was a repudiation of globalism. It was a repudiation of unsecured borders. It was a repudiation of amnesty for illegal aliens. But most of all, it was a repudiation of an Administration that sold it's soul for 30 pieces of silver. That is the reason the voters could not overlook the corruption by Republicans when they ignored even worse corruption by Democrats. Conservatives are supposed to be the good guys. They are required to have integrity—and all of the other Christian qualities that are needed to make good citizens....[&lt;a href="http://www.salemthesoldier.us/bbarnstead_moral_compass.html"&gt;Read

	<title>The July, 2009, Resignation of Alaska Governor Sarah</title>
	<description>This is my Letter to the Editor concerning the July, 2009, resignation of Sarah Palin. If the radical Left in America is so interested in her, it is because she is a credible threat to their anti-American ideology. &lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;

	<title>The Domestic Extremism Lexicon</title>
	<description>My recent letter to the local paper:&lt;p&gt;

While the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) &lt;a href="http://michellemalkin.cachefly.net/michellemalkin.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/hsa-rightwing-extremism-09-04-07.pdf"&gt;threat analysis&lt;/a&gt; on "right-wing extremism" and slander of military veterans has been in the headlines, a lesser known document entitled &lt;a href="http://www.salemthesoldier.us/domestic_extremism_lexicon.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;"Domestic Extremism Lexicon"&lt;/a&gt; was also released, and not surprisingly at this point, also recalled by DHS.   The document details terminology, one assumes, law enforcement is to be on the lookout for in incidental contact with "extremists."&lt;p&gt;
 
&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1935071092/salemsmailbox"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r73/salem21_2006/oleary_free_speech.jpg" align="left" width="105" height="173"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Although this document was more broad brush in its assault on political thought, the inclusion of the "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_media"&gt;alternative media&lt;/a&gt;" was especially troubling.  With the downward spiral of the main stream media into superficiality and propaganda, devoid of impartiality and objectivity, people have had no choice but to turn to the alternative media over the last decade to hold government accountable.  Thus, the government monopoly on information has been overthrown.&lt;p&gt;
 
So First Amendment protected bloggers like Michelle Malkin, Noam Chomsky; web sites like Democrat Underground and Free Republic are now ascribed sinister motives?  Is anyone with a clue in charge now at DHS?&lt;p&gt;
 
At the least, this should wake up the Left to the ideological bent of the Napolitano DHS.  At the most, with the collapse of the Republican GOP as a viable bulwark against big government, George Orwell may still be vindicated by his classic "1984," as Big Brother is realized — incredibly — in the American experience.&lt;p&gt;

	<title>Now, Seize Freedom!</title>
	<description>Welcome to "Republican Rock Bottom."&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Possessed of no vision, no principle, no purpose, and no appeal, we deserved our fate.&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Now, seize freedom!&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Finally, we are divorced from self-deceits. Dead is the self-indulgent imbecility of "re-branding" -- as if the Republican Party was a corporate product to be repackaged, not a transformational political movement to be led. Despite what the media will tell you, and what so-called "conservative leaders" will discuss ad nauseam during "secret" meetings, this situation is not a crisis. It is an opportunity. Today, we are as the Great Emancipator proclaimed during another time of national trial: unbound by the tired dogmas of the past; and free to think and act anew. &lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;

	<title>Enemies of Capitalism</title>
	<description>New Rule: neomercantilists, neoconservatives, and statists are no longer allowed to call themselves "free marketers." People who call themselves free marketers such as Bush, Paulson, Greenspan, and Bernanke are the primary threat capitalism faces. These false prophets of capitalism are the greatest friends that proponents of socialism have.&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Many prominent American figures claim to be proponents of free markets but in practice advocate neomercantilist, corporate welfare policies. These policies eventually, and unsurprisingly, lead to disastrous economic and social consequences. These catastrophes are then blamed on capitalism, free markets, and deregulation, at which point, socialists are easily able to convince the distraught public that capitalism is a failed experiment and only massive government intervention in the markets can save them. Such is the way that capitalism dies, eaten away by a cancer from within.&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;

	<title>Another Bush Requiem</title>
	<description>&lt;img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c69/lov4soccr/george_bush.jpg" align="left" height="244" width="184"&gt;Well, that didn’t end too well.&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;

There have been
a few excellent commentaries from Conservative writers in the nascent post-Bush
era; a few because of the many already lacking in any productive
self-critiquing of the last eight years.&amp;nbsp; Bush went from the &lt;a href="http://www.hist.umn.edu/~ruggles/Approval.htm"&gt;highest in recorded
Presidential history&lt;/a&gt; post-9/11, to some of the lowest in Gallup poll
history, competing &lt;a href="http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Topping_Nixon_Bush_disapproval_drops_to_1107.html"&gt;with
Nixon&lt;/a&gt; and Truman in the low 20’s when they left office. &amp;nbsp;The Republican Party
went from unprecedented control of the House of Representatives, the Senate and
the White House, at the beginning of the Millennium, to a complete rout in
2008, with losses on the state and local level.&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;

What happened?&amp;nbsp; Let's exercise a little long lost objectivity, braving the inevitable accusation of "Bush Hater," and review the more notable highlights of the last eight years....</description>

	<title>From the Church (Mosque) to the Schoolhouse to the White House</title>
	<description>One might ask why it is important to understand the relation between the Leftist/Marxist – Islamist Alliance and the Emerging Movement among Churches and Mosques. It is because it indicates the movement of a historically conservative church and other organizations into the fold. These Emerging Church and Mosque Movements are the elephants in the pew. The Radical Islamist Movement has realized that the tactical weapons of terrorism and suicide bombing may not be achieving their goal for world domination, and that seduction, economics and political action are more effective in winning the war. In the letter: A Common Word Between Us and You the strategy is apparent in their conference of September 2007 held under the theme of &amp;ldquo;Love in the Quran.” In this essay, I address how the Leftist/Marxist – Islamist Alliance is approaching the goal of achieving a one religion and one-world government.</description>

	<title>The Leftist/Marxist – Islamist Alliance Aligns Against Jerusalem</title>
	<description>...Failure to adhere to fundamental principles of our Judeo-Christian beliefs will be the signs of weakness that will only strengthen the hands of those who have already declared that we are their enemies. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

Four ideologies – Judeo/Christian based on the Bible, Islam based on the Qur’an/Hadith, Mormonism based on the Book of Mormon, and none of the above. They can not all be right, you have to make a decision, the future depends on it—it is crunch time.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

Given this equation, any near term trigger event in Egypt would garner at least the same global attention as any other Middle East regional conflict. The red line is not &amp;ldquo;peace” in our time, but where will the West and Israel stand on Jerusalem and the &amp;ldquo;Temple Mount”. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;</description>

	<title>The US has been warned, and warned, and warned again</title>
	<description>The California wildfires, which are slowly being brought under control as I write this, began on October 20, two days after Secretary of State Rice completed a four-day visit to the Middle East.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

Bush and Rice are squeezing Israel into making more concessions to please the Palestinian Arabs so that they will go to Annapolis next month.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

There the plans are meant to be formulated that will lead to the uprooting of tens of thousands of Jews from their Judean and Samarian homes, the destruction of their property, and the final and irreversible handing over of that territory to the murderous and antisemitic PLO.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

As Washington pushes, California burns, and a million Americans have had to flee their homes.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

For the Bible believer who takes God at His Word when He promises to deal severely with the nations that hurt His people, it’s legitimate to ask:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

Has God allowed the fires that have burned up 700 square miles of American land as a warning to the Bush administration to stop pushing Israel towards a peace that can bring no peace?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

And if Rice goes ahead, turns the screws and forces Israel to the negotiating table in Maryland, will something even more devastating come upon the United States?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

I am terribly afraid that it will.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;</description>

	<title>Indonesia – Russia Opens the Pacific Front</title>
	<description>While the politicians and the press are focused on war in Iraq, scant attention is being directed to the greater geopolitical events occurring worldwide. The battleground is already being occupied by the enemies of freedom and liberty. The Russian deal to supply weapons to Indonesia descended on the APEC summit table like a slammed fist.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

Russia along with their partners is utilizing alliances in the political, transportation, military, technology, economic, natural resource and energy sectors to accomplish the goal.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

Russia seeks access to the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific and the Caribbean. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

	<title>Sovereign Wealth Funds – a Potential Tool of Asymmetric Warfare</title>
	<description>Liberal democracy, led by the United States may have emerged triumphant from the struggles of the 20th century. But the rise of the non-democratic powers of Russia, China and the Islamist states utilizing the combined power of control of energy resources and the growth of Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWF) leaves the liberal democracy’s ultimate victory and future dominance in doubt. Overseas investments by Sovereign Wealth Funds have always had the potential to cause alarm in the destination countries. Because they are driven by governments of the totalitarian and Authoritarian Great Powers, they compel countries to take immediate attention.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

How powerful Sovereign Wealth Funds decide to invest their vast armory of cash will play a pivotal role in reshaping financial markets in the next decade. These funds are going to have the ability to buy any global company, to create panic in markets if they move too precipitously, even to dwarf the political clout of international financial institutions. They can no longer be ignored.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

The Sovereign Wealth Funds are potentially a powerful tool of asymmetric warfare like none we have witnessed before. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;</description>

	<title>Appeasement — The Liberal-Islamic Strategy</title>
	<description>The real force behind the Gaza mayhem seems to be, a combined al Qaeda and Iran strategy, strange bedfellows perhaps, but for the time being, closely-linked partners in a common strategic goal to establish "Hamastan" as a forward base for Global terrorism. Al Qaeda's 
ultimate objective is to destabilize and destroy the moderate Arab nations, first in line post-Mubaraq's Egypt, then the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and finally, the Sunni cradle of Saudi Arabia. A similar aim is Tehran's &lt;a href="http://www.defense-update.com/newscast/0107/analysis/analysis-300107.htm"&gt;Shiite Crescent strategy&lt;/a&gt; - thus both partners are united, even if their spiritual inheritance differs widely and even conflicts sharply, in their religious deism.  See also my article:&lt;a href="http://www.salemthesoldier.us/jonsson_caliphate.html"&gt; Caliphatism - Establishing the "Islamic Kingdom of God on Earth".&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

It should be noted that The Fatah-Hamas differences concern personnel, approaches, and tactics. They share allies and goals. Tehran arms both&lt;a href="http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3412560,00.html"&gt;Hamas&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,193521,00.html"&gt;Fatah&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The &amp;ldquo;moderate” terrorists of &lt;a href="http://www.pmw.org.il/"&gt;Fatah&lt;/a&gt; and the bad terrorists of Hamas equally indoctrinate children with a barbaric creed of &amp;ldquo;martyrdom.” Both agree on eliminating the Jewish state. Neither shows a map with Israel present, or even Tel Aviv.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The Gaza Strip is now firmly in the control of Hamas, a radical terrorist group funded by Iran and Syria.  Some have called Gaza &amp;ldquo;Hamastan”, expecting that the area will become an Islamic quasi-state akin to Iran where &lt;i&gt;Shariah&lt;/i&gt; law is strictly enforced. The fear is that Gaza will become a Lebanon-like Hamastan, a wasps’ nest that in the future will attract al-Qaeda men and extensions of Iran. All of these things are coming to life before our very eyes....</description>

	<title>Nationalization – A Plan for World Domination</title>
	<description>&lt;I&gt;"The Leftist/Marxist – Islamist Alliance is utilizing the weapons of economics, energy and immigration to wrest control of the Western world. The Alliance through their operatives in the U.S. and the EU has furthered the progress of world domination and Islamization though appeasement, open borders, lack of fiscal disciple and greed among the populous, government leaders, financial advisors and banks seeking near term gains.&lt;/I&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

&lt;I&gt;The U.S. and its allies need to understand who the enemy is and their goals, and put forward a plan for survival of the freedoms and liberty we enjoy. Commercial interests, and not security, are driving our actions as they did then prior to WW II.&lt;/I&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;


&lt;I&gt;This image will not be improved by elites counted among the Leftist/Marxist – Islamist Alliance who have not only abandoned, but are attacking their own people, selling out their historical legacy to their worst enemies, and muzzling those who object to this. It is going to be interesting for future historians to unveil how many senior Western leaders or bureaucrats, bankers and corporate leaders have been bought and paid by petrodollars.

	<title>U.S. Policy Toward Iran and Russia</title>
	<description>After September 11, Bush explained that the attacks showed that the friend of your enemy is also your enemy. As he put it last September, &amp;ldquo;America makes no distinction between those who commit acts of terror, and those that harbor and support them, because they’re equally guilty of murder.” &lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

Bush failed to note the converse of that reality: the enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend and ally. Here the distinction generally relates to Sunnis and Shiites. We fail to grasp that just because Shiites and Sunnis are rivals don’t mean that they will join forces with the U.S. to fight one another, or won’t join forces with one another to fight the U.S. to accomplish their goal of establishing the Islamic kingdom of God and return the caliphate. This and the failure to recognize the goals of Russia have and will continue to cause the Americans no end of difficulty. We also fail to recognize that that these forces have also joined with the Leftists.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

There is an Arab saying to the effect that &amp;ldquo;the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” While this may be the standard for many countries in the Middle East, it is not the standard by which a democratic nation like the United States can afford to operate.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

Equally important is to recognize that Russia and China are also linked with mutual interests – world domination and that Russia is neither the friend of the EU or the U.S.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

Unfortunately, these forces have combined into the alliance of the Leftist/Marxist and Islamists – with the common goal of world domination. [Author David J. Jonsson]&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;</description>

	<title>Islamic Economics and the Final Jihad: The Muslim Brotherhood to the Leftist/Marxist - Islamist Alliance</title>
	<description>&lt;I&gt;"In the early months of 2006 as the news of the Dubai Ports World (DPW) (a maritime company controlled by the UAE government) acquisition of Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company (P&amp;O) and their subsequent control of 24 terminals at six major U.S. ports broke from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, a firestorm of controversy broke nationally. The detractor’s response was attacked as &amp;ldquo;xenophobic hysteria,” bigotry, and racism against Arabs (snarl words usually employed by the radical left against their hapless targets), by free market proponents, yet the majority of Americans, their sons and daughter at war with Islamic terrorism, instinctively sensed a threat. Few were able to clearly articulate why."&lt;/I&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;


&lt;I&gt;"That threat no longer remains veiled. David J. Jonsson, author of 'The Clash of Ideologies - The Making of the Christian and Islamic Worlds' has thoroughly and meticulously exposed the threat in his newest work, 'ISLAMIC ECONOMICS AND THE FINAL JIHAD - The Muslim Brotherhood to the Leftist/Marxist - Islamist Alliance.'"&lt;/I&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

	<title>Global Threats Leading to the Leftist/Marxist – Islamist Takeover</title>
	<description>"...In order to understand the issues faced by the West it is necessary to review history and look at the many factors that are currently leading to the almost intractable solution to the crisis developing worldwide.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;

The future enemies of Europe and the United States will be a mutation of current and past foes both domestically and internationally. In confronting these forces, knowledge of their ideaologies, objectives and determination will make all the difference. The domestic foes may be either sympathizers or via actual operatives. In the period following the downfall of the Soviet Union, this is the first time that favorable conditions have emerged on the side of the Leftist and Islamists around the world to challenge the hegemony of the West.

The center of the Christian Faith is the Lord Jesus Christ who was crucified for our sins and raised for our salvation. Without Christ there is no Christianity. Which will it be?

	<description>"...Last week Mr. Putin told European leaders gathered in Munich "the United States has overstepped its national borders in every way." He claimed that the U.S. is forcing weaker nations to &amp;ldquo;acquire weapons of mass destruction" and defended Moscow's recent sale of $700 million worth of TOR-M1 anti-aircraft batteries to Iran. And in an effort to sound less like a bear and more like a Democrat running for the U.S. presidency, he declared that &amp;ldquo;wars, local and regional conflicts, have only grown in number" and charged America with taking "unilateral, illegitimate actions" in Iraq and elsewhere that "have not managed to resolve any problems, but made them worse."

	<title>Using the Oil Weapon and Sanctions to Avert War With Iran</title>
	<description>"...Little do the people waging "the war against the war" know that, in exchange for a temporary political advantage, they are gravely endangering America’s security and well-being, ultimately even their own. The Fantasy Island seekers will neither speak nor confront the present existence and inexorable rise of systems of government that do not exactly wish to deliver the higher realms of personal, sexual, and want-less liberty the One Worlders envision. America is the magnet for bright and ambitious people. It also makes America a target. The U.S. is also becoming one of the last holdouts of the traditional Judeo-Christian ideology. America takes it for granted, but it is not as available in other countries of the world. Ultimately, it's an issue of culture. The only people who can hurt America are themselves, by losing their culture and will to win. If they give up their Judeo-Christian culture, they will become just like the Europeans. If they lose it, there isn't another America to pull us out."  [Author David J. Jonsson]</description>

	<title>Wakeup America – Understand the Mind of the Jihadist</title>
	<description>"The war on terror might be lost not on the streets of Baghdad but in the corridors of Congress. A divided America and Anti-Americanism serves our enemies well. Soon we may see a vote in Congress that says, "We can't stop the surge plan, but we don't support it." It is time for America to understand who the enemy is, the murderous ideology that is driving them and their strategy for success. This would be the Islamist's greatest fear.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;P&gt;


It is important to understand that the goal of the Jihadists is – following in the footsteps of Muhammad – to create the "Islamic kingdom of God on Earth." The primary goal is not to conquer lands but to Islamize the world.  The drive is to instill Islamic law (Shariah) into both Muslim society and the entire world, and ultimately to recreate society under their interpretation of the law. The strategy is to utilize the sword of Islam...."  [Author David J. Jonsson]</description>

profit (501.c.3), educational organization working to advance our nation toward the traditional Judeo-Christian values that defined America’s creation and became the blueprint for her greatness. 

We believe that only a new alliance of concerned citizens can re-identify and dramatically strengthen the core values necessary for America to maintain that greatness and moral leadership. 

These values are: faith-based American principles of constitutional and limited government; the rule of law; representative democracy; free markets; a strong military; and, a moral public 

culture."&gt;&lt;/A&gt;...If they succeed, Christianity will be driven underground, and its benign influence on the character of America will be lost. In its place we shall see a sinister secularism that menaces Bible believers of all faiths. Once the voice of the Bible has been silenced, the war on Western Civilization can begin and we shall see a long night of barbarism descend on the West.
&lt;P&gt;
Without a vibrant and vital Christianity, America is doomed, and without America, the West is doomed.
&lt;P&gt;
Which is why I, an Orthodox Jewish rabbi, devoted to Jewish survival, the Torah and Israel am so terrified of American Christianity caving in.

Many of us Jews are ready to stand with you. But you must lead. You must replace your timidity with nerve and your diffidence with daring and determination. You are under attack. Now is the time to resist it.</description>

	<title>“No Substitute for Victory” - The Defeat of Islamic Totalitarianism</title>
	<description>This article, by Dr. John Lewis, assistant professor of history at Ashland University and contributing editor of The Objective Standard, was both forwarded to me and posted at &lt;A HREF="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1755102/posts"&gt;FREE REPUBLIC&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It was fascinating because, although he promotes ideas to defeat Islamic totalitarianism founded in a WWII era American militray culture which crushed Japan and smashed the Weirmacht into junk, the fact that American culture today is vastly different than during the 40' a 50's is not addressed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Specifically, &lt;I&gt;The Objectivist&lt;/I&gt; is anti-faith because of their secular humanist foundation.  Yet the fact that America's Judeo/Christian culture and heritage had not been severely undermined, as today, as well as the crippling effects of multi-culturalism and other decidedly un-American trends over the years, guarntees American failure in the was against Islamic terror.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The moral relativism rampant in American culture today because Christianity continues to be marginalized by organizations like &lt;I&gt;The Objectivist&lt;/I&gt; provides the moral vacuum for Islam to spread as a "fith column" in American culture, and treason from within.

	<title>Islamic Economics and Shariah Law: A Plan for World Domination</title>
	<description>"My goal today is to put you into the mind of an Islamist—to think like an Islamist. It is only possible to understand the events occurring by understanding their thinking and what it would mean to live under Shariah law. There is a well-worn cliché &amp;ldquo;It’s the economy stupid” that appears around election times. So it is with Islamic Economics and the Clash of Ideologies we are witnessing today. " 

"It should be realized that the goal of the Islamists, following in the footsteps of Muhammad, is not so much to conquer the land but to Islmanize the populations. In so doing they seek to have the lands come under Shariah law and that the lands become dar al-Islam—the land of Islam and that all non-Muslims accept the status of Dhimmis—subservient to Muslim rule. The Plan involves the incremental acceptance of basic tenants of Shariah law as applied to all aspects of life—the Islamic &amp;ldquo;Way of Life”. This implies the desire to incrementally change the laws and ultimately the Constitution of the U.S. This requires the population to accept the new laws as equally valid and acceptable. Initially this will result in parallel legal systems and progressing from there with laws that may be applied locally and ultimately nationally. Jihad can be with the pen and the tongue, just as it can be the sword and the spear as Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood has said. Knowledge combined with economic control can be wielded with the precision of a sharp sword to effect any desired social/political change necessary for the fulfillment of Islam’s goal."
