Topic: Boko Haram: The Forgotten Strong Arm of Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State in Nigeria Also Slaughtering Christians
In all the chaos in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon with the Islamic State having officially established the first caliphate since the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1924, one other terrorist organization has ironically been forgotten. You will recall how just four months ago, the infamous photographs of notable celebrities and world leaders hold tight their pieces of cardboard with that hashtagged phrase #BringBackOurGirls, with no more disgusting shot circulated than Michelle "Mooch" Obama's puppy dog face even as she continued to engage in fundraisers in subsequent days and weeks speaking in racist tones, declaring all high school and college graduates should engage in detecting "Thoughtcrime" from their family members and reporting them. Since then, the Nigerian terrorist cell known as Boko Haram has long been forgotten in the annals of our domestic media, with Fox News barely mentioning them at all, much less MSNBC and CNN, who are supporting publicly terrorism globally. But while our media has long forgotten that organization, the girls have still not been returned to sender, and Boko Haram is now engaged in slaughtering Christians too, to the tune of slitting the throats of 100 about two days ago or so. To read the headlines, little is reported about the Nigerian genocide of Christians and those who are of the Western cultural persuasion, but it really should not at all be so since the conservative media has repeated reported this crisis of the global apostasy for at least two years whereupon it came to light that Boko Haram suddenly turned on the Obama administration. And do not believe for a moment that he and Michelle were at all concerned about the 270 girls the organization took hostage. The president foolishly waged a social media campaign to smear Boko Haram as a cell of barbarians. For Obama, however, this backfired; the girls are still not free, the military has not at all appeared in any capacity except for peace envoys and military advisers, and Boko Haram is still committed to destroy infidels and the Western cultural in Europe and the Americas. The article from Mad World News will detail this sad series of events below:
Boko Haram Competing with ISIS: 100 Christians Burned Alive, Throats Slit in MassacreIN NEWS, WORLD NEWS / BY DOM THE CONSERVATIVE / ON AUGUST 12, 2014 AT 3:42 PM /Boko Haram Competing with ISIS: 100 Christians Burned Alive, Throats Slit in Massacre
At lest 100 Christians have reportedly been butchered by Islamic terrorists during a bloody massacre in the town of Gwoza, Nigeria.The attack took place on August 6th, when Boko Haram insurgents stormed the predominantly Christian town of more than 276,000 people.Civilians suffered their town being burned, bombed, and ransacked as the heavily armed Muslim group swept through. Anyone who stood in the way were slaughtered in the most horrific ways:The full magnitude of the attack and the Nigerian military response was unknown as most sources have been forced to flee to Cameroon or Adamawa state, but on the initial day of the assault Pirda Tada, a Christian resident of Saha village, told Morning Star News that Boko Haram gunmen arrived in Toyota Hilux vehicles and motorcycles and attacked houses with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and fuel-bombs.“I thank God for sparing my life, but three of my neighbors and members of our church were killed during the attack,” Tada said. “These Christians in our village had their throats slit with knives while their hands were tied behind their backs. Some houses were bombed as the Boko Haram gunmen were chanting, ‘God is great!’ in Arabic.”Six Christians were killed at Saha village, and the insurgents destroyed houses and shops and burned the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) building in Pegi Barawa village, Tada said. Boko Haram rebels on July 19 had attacked Saha and Pegi Barawa village, near Gwoza; six Christians were reported to have been killed in Saha village.Follow Us On PinterestJohn Gula, a leader in the Christian community in Gwoza, told Morning Star News by phone that 42 Christians were killed at Attagara village; 24 in Agajara; four in Angurva; 20 in Agapalwa; one in Amuda; three in Alavawa; 13 in Chinene; three in Arboko; one in Ashigashiya; and one in Ngoshe.It is estimated that more than 300,000 Christians have been displaced from the greater area, forcing many to flee to neighboring Cameroon.http://morningstarnews.org/2014/08/massacre-in-predominantly-christian-gwoza-nigeria-said-to-leave-100-dead/Homes, businesses, and churches were bombed and burned as a warning to Christian residents to convert to Islam and submit to Sharia law.Boko Haram, much like ISIS, seeks to overtake one town at a time until the entire nation of Nigeria is under Islamic rule. Once a city is captured by insurgent forces, Islamists implement Sharia law, which requires even non-Muslims to follow Quranic laws. Dimmis, non-Muslims in Muslim countries, will be forced to pay a high tax for remaining a non-Muslim in an Islamic state, if they are allowed to live at all.Boko Haram proved they haven’t forgotten about Gwoza refugees who got away, sending a startling message of their intentions:“You have been fleeing your homes, but we are still pursuing you, because the soldiers with you people cannot protect you,” the letter reads. “Your lives, farmlands and other property are also not safeguarded. Allah willing, we shall not fail to attack your communities and the listed churches in this letter.”With relentless attacks from Hamas in Gaza and countless innocents slaughtered by ISIS in Iraq, the world will continue to see massacres as in Gwoza as Islamists across the globe become motivated by the jihads.

Make no mistake, ladies and gentlemen: Every Islamic terrorist cell is linked together. In fact, Boko Haram was reported weeks following the hashtag controversy having links to our old enemies in Afghanistan and Pakistan, al-Qaeda. Peter Weber of The Week addressed this in his May 12, 2014 article:
Who's financing Boko Haram?It will be quite difficult to effectively combat the Nigerian terrorist organization without understanding its cash flow
Boko Haram's tactics are so brutal and senseless that even al Qaeda and other Islamist terrorist organizations think the group goes too far. But large operations to kidnap more than 200 schoolgirls and wantonly massacre hundreds of unarmed villagers take more than skewed morals and careful planning — they also take money, in this case truly filthy lucre. And Boko Haram has ample cash in a part of Nigeria and West Africa where money is scarce. Where do they get it?
"Analysts say the actual source of the funding is as elusive as the militants themselves," says Heather Murdock at VOA News. But Boko Haram is clearly getting richer. Its weapons have shifted from relatively cheap AK-47s in the early days of its post-2009 embrace of violence to desert-ready combat vehicles and anti-aircraft/anti-tank guns. Here's a look at what we know, and what we suspect, about the organization's financial support:
Kidnapping
Abducting hundreds of schoolgirls, possibly to sell as "brides," is how Boko Haram gained international notoriety. But additionally, "kidnapping has become one of the group's primary funding sources, a way to extract concessions from the Nigerian state and other governments, and a threat to foreigners and Nigerian government officials," says Jacob Zenn at West Point's Combating Terrorism Center.
It has been a lucrative source of cash, too. Last year, Boko Haram secured $3 million and the release of 16 prisoners in exchange for a French family of seven it seized in northern Cameroon. The group has claimed credit for a few kidnappings since then, but they are widely suspected of carrying out dozens of other abductions-for-ransom in northern Nigeria, says Zenn. "Virtually all of the kidnapping victims were mid-level officials, or their relatives, who were not wealthy enough to have security details, but could afford modest ransoms of about $10,000."
Robbery
Along with ransom money, "Boko Haram has partly financed its militant operations by attacking and robbing banks," says David Doukhan at the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism. The group has robbed hundreds of banks in its home province of Borno and two other northern regions of Nigeria, and nabbed convoys and successful businesses. If that sounds not particularly pious for a fundamentalist religious group, "the robbery is justified by Koranic interpretation that bank robbery is permitted, since the money from the banks is considered 'spoils of war,'" Doukhan adds. Some estimates put Boko Haram's thievery spoils at about $6 million.
Taxes and protection money
Boko Haram has demanded and received protection money from the governors of the northern Nigeria states since 2004, says Taiwo Ogundipe at Nigeria's The Nation, citing an unidentified spokesman for the group and other captured Boko Haram operatives. "The Northern governors are overwhelmed about the strength of the group and are aware of the capabilities of Boko Haram operatives in their respective states," the spokesman said.
That was in 2011. From then until at least mid-2013, Boko Haram was the de facto ruler of large swathes of Nigeria. "It would appear that they have established bases in certain parts of the northeast that nobody can even penetrate or go to, and they’ve excluded every symbol of authority in those areas," Clement Nwankwo, at the Policy and Legal Advocacy Center in Abuja, told VOA News in May 2013. "Some even say they are in control of various local governments in the northeast and are collecting taxes and running the show in those places."
Foreign terrorist organizations
Boko Haram is widely believed to have received funding from regional and international Islamist terrorist organizations, though how much and from which groups is in dispute. The Daily Beast's Eli Lake reports that the group received some early seed money from Osama bin Laden in 2002, through a disciple named Mohammed Ali who bin Laden sent to Africa with $3 million for like-minded militant organizations.
"We are not saying all $3 million went to Boko Haram," the International Crisis Group's E.J. Hogendoorn tells The Daily Beast. "What I can tell you from talking to lots of conservative Muslims in Nigeria is that there was a lot of money coming into northern Nigeria, there are many sources of that money. One of those sources was from al Qaeda."
The group has also reportedly gotten money from Algerian al Qaeda offshoot al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and Somali group al-Shabab. One motive those groups have is setting up friendly safe havens in the region. "I think there must be some funding coming from extremist groups, coming from some extremist groups who want perhaps to create a base in northern Nigeria," Nwankwo tells VOA News.
Foreign civic groups
There are a handful of non-militant groups accused of shuttling money to Boko Haram, including Britain's Al-Muntada Trust Fund and Saudi Arabia's Islamic World Society. "Monetary practices embedded in Muslim culture, such as donating to charities and informal money-transfer centers, have compounded the difficulty in tracking down terrorist financial links," says David Doukhan at the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism.
***
While the details of Boko Haram's finances remains nothing if not murky, understanding "funding of Boko Haram is quite a very crucial question," retired army captain and security consultant Aliyu Umar tells VOA News. "If we can get to the bottom of that then we can cut off the source of the funds."
Then there's the reason that may matter in the U.S. The fact that the U.S. didn't formally designate Boko Haram a terrorist organization until last year has become the focus of a partisan attack against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was in office when the Obama administration was debating the move. Key to the accusation is the idea that adding the group to America's terrorist list would have made a difference, presumably by restricting funding to Boko Haram. We can't evaluate that charge without knowing where the Nigerian Islamists get their money.
____________
Britain's Al-Muntada terrorist cell trust fund and the Saudis are contributing, and no one at all would be surprised at those nor with al-Qaeda, which has been relatively quiet or unmentioned within the media domestically. But the Iranian English language news service Press TV explains that in fact, the Obama administration through the CIA created the organization and trained them, as you will read within the following text:
Boko Haram 'created and funded by CIA': Randy Short
The US Central Intelligence Agency has created and funded Boko Haram, a Takfiri group that abducted about 300 Nigerian girls last month, says American analyst Randy Short.
Boko Haram “is a CIA-created and funded group,” Short said, adding the group’s “weapons come from Libya. We know that the commander of the so-called Libyan revolutionary forces, Mr. (Khalifa) Hifter was trained by the CIA.”
Speaking in an interview with Press TV on Thursday, Short said the United States aims to break down Nigeria into a micro state.
“There is larger scheme by the Angelo American white supremacist imperialistic power complex to break down the state they have invented in colonial eras for their purposes,” he said.
President Barack Obama said on Wednesday the US has deployed dozens of troops to Chad to help locate the kidnapped schoolgirls in neighboring Nigeria.
However, Short said the US already has troops in the region.
“There are thousands of American personnel already there, this has been going on for a while, the whole purpose is to destroy Nigeria.”
“Mr. (Zbigniew) Brzezinski, who is Obama’s advisor for Africa along with Ms. Susan Rice wanted to break Africa to micro states,” he said.
“They don’t give a damn about black women…they’ve been working to destroy the Nigerian state for decades, they don’t care anything about those girls,” he noted.
According to senior American defense officials, the US military is using spy drones as well as manned aircraft over Nigeria to locate the girls who were abducted on the night of April 14th in a small town in northeastern Nigeria.

Well, this is at least entertaining, but I would not be surprised if at least the issue of funding Boko Haram is true. Based upon this gentleman's rant, I am not even going to the trouble to search deeper than the three pages over Google which contain nothing other than his serving as an international social rights activist with every form of media - Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, for example - but not so much as a Wikipedia article to his name. He rants like a man more disturbed than the communist Sociology professor of two classes I took and earned in each an "A". Dr. Short cannot be taken seriously as he is accusing Barack Obama, who is half black, of being racist against his own race by attempting to wipe them out through genocide. It borders along the same lines of the bizarre Alex Jones.

Conservative political commentator Daniel Greenfield authored an article published online on Frontpage Mag a diametric opposite take on what the radical Far Leftist Dr. Short stated earlier, but did not at all appear to be mentally-delusionary. His analysis, also from May, states the following:
Obama’s Alliance with Boko Haram
May 13, 2014 by Daniel Greenfield 221 Comments
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam. He is completing a book on the international challenges America faces in the 21st century.
Leftist policy is the search for the root cause of evil. Everything from a street mugging to planes flying into the World Trade Center is reduced to a root cause of social injustice. Throw poverty, oppression and a bunch of NGO buzzwords into a pot and out come the suicide bombings, drug dealing and mass rapes.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s Boko Haram, the Islamic terrorist group that kidnapped hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls, or a drug dealer with a record as long as his tattooed arm.
Obama and Hillary resisted doing anything about Boko Haram because they believed that its root cause was the oppression of Muslims by the Nigerian government. Across the bloody years of Boko Haram terror, the State Department matched empty condemnations of Boko Haram’s killing sprees with condemnations of the Nigerian authorities for violating Muslim rights.
Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton haven’t championed #BringBackOurGirls because it’s a hashtag in support of the kidnapped girls, but because it undermines the Nigerian government. They aren’t trying to help the kidnapped girls. They’re trying to bring down a government that hasn’t gone along with their agenda for appeasing Boko Haram and Nigerian Muslims.
Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton haven’t championed #BringBackOurGirls because it’s a hashtag in support of the kidnapped girls, but because it undermines the Nigerian government. They aren’t trying to help the kidnapped girls. They’re trying to bring down a government that hasn’t gone along with their agenda for appeasing Boko Haram and Nigerian Muslims.
The hashtag politics aren’t aimed at the terrorists. They’re aimed at helping the terrorists.
There’s a reason why the media and so many leftists have embraced the hashtag. #BringBackOurGirls isn’t a rescue. It denounces the Nigerian government for not having already gotten the job done even as the State Department stands ready to denounce any human rights violations during a rescue attempt.
Obama and Boko Haram want to bring down the Nigerian government and replace it with a leadership that is more amenable to appeasement. It’s the same thing that is happening in Israel and Egypt.
State Department officials responded to Boko Haram attacks over the years with the same litany of statistics about unemployment in the Muslim north and the 92 percent of children there who do not attend school. When Hillary Clinton was asked about the kidnappings by ABC News, she blamed Nigeria for not “ensuring that every child has the right and opportunity to go to school.”
Clinton acted as if she were unaware that Boko Haram opposes Muslim children going to school or that it would take the very same measures that her State Department has repeatedly opposed to make it possible for them to go to school. This is a familiar Catch 22 in which the authorities are blamed for not fixing the socioeconomic problems in terrorist regions that are impossible to fix without defeating the terrorists and blamed for violating the human rights of the terrorists when they try to defeat them.
The mainstream media has been more blatant about carrying Boko Haram’s bloody water. Their stories begin with the kidnapped schoolgirls and skip over to a sympathetic reading of history in which Boko Haram only took up arms after government brutality.
____________________
Only two very important details equate the Press TV analysis by Dr. Short and this piece by Greenwood. One is the U.S. is supporting and, as a result which the Greenwood article carefully avoided stating due to either a lack of direct proof or the fear of the Obama administration's lawless retribution against him, the administration has funded Boko Haram just as it has the Islamic State and Hamas, al-Qaeda and the Taliban, Hezbollah and of course Iran, the largest accredited state sponsor for terrorists. Eerily, the conspiracy theorists from two slightly differing angles on the matter are most frightening. The first one from Dr. Short mentioned corporations, which in truth would neither shock me nor appear bizarre considering 18 companies control nearly 80% of our GDP.

The next article is from Global Research. It has a very damning indictment on the Boko Haram association with the Obama administration:
Is Boko Haram An “Intelligence Asset”? Terror Attack in Nigeria Opens Door to Africom
By Kurt Nimmo
Global Research, May 10, 2014
infowars.com
Region: sub-Saharan Africa
The establishment media has yet to report on a deadly attack in Gamborou Ngala in the Borno State. According to a report posted today by Vanguard, a Nigerian newspaper, the jihadist terror group Boko Haram stormed the town and killed around 300 people.
Boko Haram’s official name is Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad, which translated from the Arabic means “People Committed to the Propagation of the Prophet’s Teachings and Jihad.” The group is a Takfiri offshoot of the Salafi movement. Salafi-Takfiris attack other Muslims and Christians they consider apostates. Boko Haram has worked to impose sharia law in Nigeria, north Cameroon and Niger. It has killed Christians, bombed churches, attacked schools, police stations, government installations, and has kidnapped western tourists.
Prior to the attack, the establishment media covered an announcement on Monday issued by the Obama administration stating the United States will send military, intelligence and law enforcement advisors to Nigeria to help the government there locate and rescue more than 270 teenage girls abducted by Boko Haram.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the team will not be used for military purposes and will share intelligence investigative services in the search for the students kidnapped April 14 from a rural high school in Nigeria’s predominately Muslim northeast. Obama said the abductions may “mobilize the entire international community to finally do something against this horrendous organization.” In October 2013, the U.S. designated Boko Haram a terrorist group.
In 2012, Obama invoked the War Powers Resolution to increase the number of U.S. military personnel deployed to Nigeria. The incoming Commander of the U. S. Africa Command (Africom) at the time, Gen. David M. Rodriguez, said Boko Haram operations threatened Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger, Mali and Chad. Rodriguez said the U.S. has authority in Africa in response to the threat posed by al-Qaeda.
In 2012, The Nigerian Tribune reported Boko Harm’s funding was traced to the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia, specifically from the Al-Muntada Trust Fund. In 2005, The Center for Security Policy stated “Al-Muntada has, incidentally, been particularly active in promoting Wahhabi-style Islamism in Nigeria… Al-Muntada… pays for Nigerian clerics to be ‘brainwashed’ in Saudi universities and imposed on Nigerian Muslims through its well-funded network of mosques and schools.”
Similar schools, known as madrassas, were established in Pakistan during the CIA’s covert war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. They were financed by Saudi Arabia and its network of charities. “Between 1982 and 1992, some 35,000 Muslim radicals from 43 Islamic countries in the Middle East, North and East Africa, Central Asia and the Far East would pass their baptism under fire with the Afghan mujahideen,” writes Phil Gasper. The Afghan mujahideen would ultimately produce al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
In addition to support by the Saudis, Boko Haram has received indirect assistance from NATO via Libya’s al-Qaeda mercenaries.
“During an interview conducted by Al-Jazeera with Abu Mousab Abdel Wadoud, the AQIM leader states that Algeria-based organizations have provided arms to Nigeria’s Boko Haram movement ‘to defend Muslims in Nigeria and stop the advance of a minority of Crusaders.’ It remains highly documented that members of Al-Qaeda (AQIM) and the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) who fought among the Libyan rebels directly received arms and logistical support from NATO bloc countries during the Libyan conflict in 2011,” writes Nile Bowie.
AQIM and Boko Haram, however, pose less of a threat in Africa than China does. “The US and France plan to counter the threat along with Africa’s puppet government’s that will pose a challenge to China’s economic and diplomatic influence in the region,” writes Timothy Alexander Guzman.
Nigeria is the 13th largest oil producer in the world. The western Africa nation’s other natural resources include natural gas, tin, iron ore, coal, limestone, niobium, lead, zinc and arable land.
“The US and French governments want to assure themselves that the new Chinese leadership will not continue its beneficial relationships with resource-rich African nations that have been a success in the past. Therefore, the ‘War on Terror’ will create instability and will disrupt China’s economic growth. AFRICOM mission is to create war in the name of fighting terrorism and that is what ‘US national security interests’ in Africa is really about.”

Recall recently that President Obama, Vice President Biden and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi attended the African Economic Summit, where both the latter referred to Africa as a "nation". Was this merely a matter of uniting the continent in fighting its abject poverty, or something far more insidious? W.E.B. DuBois, who has been dead more than 50 years, worked towards the eventual goal to manifest a Pan African state governed under communism, but died in August 27, 1963 in Ghana. But as Pamela Geller reported in Breitbart, not only did the media fail to report the missing girls to be Christian, it lied and claimed they were all Muslims:
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION: BOKO HARAM HAS 'LEGITIMATE CONCERNS'
For reasons that only Barack Obama can answer, the State Department took far too long to designate the savage Muslim group, Boko Haram, a terrorist organization. When State Department officials finally did designate it a foreign terrorist organization, they did so while never mentioning that the people being terrorized were Christians who are being targeted for their beliefs. The media doesn’t mention it, but the kidnapped schoolgirls who have finally brought this evil group to international attention are Christians.
But the State Department implied that the group had other motivations. “These designations are an important and appropriate step,” the State Department said, “but only one tool in what must be a comprehensive approach by the Nigerian government to counter these groups through a combination of law enforcement, political, and development efforts, as well as military engagement, to help root out violent extremism while also addressing the legitimate concerns of the people of northern Nigeria.”
Boko Haram originated in northern Nigeria, where there is strong support for the imposition of Islamic law – which is also Boko Haram’s goal.
The idea that a devout Muslim group that slaughters in the cause of Islam practically every day and whose very name means “Western education is sinful” has “legitimate concerns” exposes the dangerous motives of the pro-jihadist Obama administration.
Boko Haram sets schools ablaze. Boko Haram targets teachers and doctors, but above all, Christians. They murdered over 2,596 people in the first three months of 2014. What possible legitimate concerns could these savages have? Imposing Islam is not a legitimate concern.
“Legitimate concerns” – was the Obama administration referring to CIA director John Brennan’s notorious statement that “jihad is a legitimate tenet of Islam?”
The mainstream media’s sudden interest in the abducted girls and Boko Haram is amazing. Back in 2012, my organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), ran a citywide bus campaign in New York, highlighting the savagery of jihadists against Nigerian Christians. One hundred bus ads called attention to the victims. The ad read, “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support the Nigerian Christians. Defeat jihad.”
These ads were attacked by media and cultural elites as “anti-Muslim” “hate” ads, condemned by the same two-faced quislings in the mainstream media who are now writing furious editorials demanding that these abducted girls be saved.
This devout Muslim group, whose official name is The Congregation of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, has been waging bloody jihad in Nigeria for years, while the U.S. government, the United Nations and the mainstream media yawned. Here are just a few of the stories that should have touched off an international media firestorm, but didn’t:
Last Monday, they stormed the town of Gamboru Ngala, torching houses and murdering at least 300 people. They set houses on fire and shot those who tried to escape.
- In mid-April, according to Reuters, they “killed at least 60 people in an attack on a village in northeast Nigeria, while a separate attack killed eight people at a teacher training college.”
- In late March, the Nigerian jihadists “killed 19 people and abducted 15 others in different villages of Agatu local government area in Benue state.”
- On March 5, they “attacked a cluster of villages in Plateau state, killing 16 Christians and destroying numerous homes.”
- The day before that, on March 4, they “burned 11 people to death inside their homes in northeastern Nigeria, where frequent attacks have claimed at least 130 lives in the past four days alone.”
- And on the day before that, March 3, they “killed at least 29 people in an attack on a town in north-eastern Nigeria’s Borno state.”
- Several days before that, on February 27, they “killed at least 37 people in three separate attacks in northeast Nigeria, including at a theological college” – a Christian college, of course.
- Two days before that, they “burned children alive,” entering a college in northeast Nigeria before dawn, setting it afire, and murdering 43 students. A teacher said that they “shot and slit the throats of children who tried to escape through the windows,” while others used machetes to hack students to death.
- Five days before that, they “attacked the northeastern town of Bama on Wednesday, opening fire on a school, shooting or burning to death 47 people and trashing the palace of a traditional ruler.”
- In late January, they “used explosives to attack a village in north-east Nigeria, killing 52 people and razing more than 300 homes.”
That isn’t even a full list of their attacks just this year. And why are they committing all this bloodshed and savagery? Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has said, “The reason why I will kill you is you are infidels, you follow Democracy… Whoever follows Democracy is an infidel.” In a video, members of this group said, “We are working for Allah and must bring Shariah to existence; we are committed to protecting Muslims from being annihilated by infidels. We are going to kill them. We will enter Churches and slaughter Christians… We are calling on all Muslims to come out and fight Jihad.”
Few people cared. I wrote on February 25, “When are good and decent people going to be free to speak about Muslim supremacist savagery? Instead, reporting on these stories of unimaginable horror is considered ‘islamophobia.’ That’s where we are in the modern age of the savage.”
Maybe the attention that the kidnapped girls has brought to this group will finally result in concrete action to stop this bloodlust. How many more people must they slaughter? It is not a good sign that the denial and willful ignorance are continuing: Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday blamed Boko Haram on poverty, saying that “much of this challenge comes out of this poverty where young people are grabbed at an early stage, proffered a little bit of money.” In reality, poverty doesn’t cause terrorism. Studies show that jihadis are generally wealthier and better educated than their peers.
Let's have some uniformity in outrage against all jihad groups, not just against one monstrous incident but the ideology behind the global jihad. Only then can we begin to defeat this scourge.

Like any good socialist of the Marxist school of thought, or sociology, its founding academic tenet under Max Weber and Emile Durkheim, the Obama administration is engaged in promoting a means for class warfare in championing a known terrorist cell which it refused to classify as such until one year prior to the kidnappings. Is their any coincidence why these kidnappings happened? This was Boko Haram's intention; to hold these girls hostage, to promote outrage globally, to force they as an organization to be recognized as a legitimate entity. Essentially, they wanted to force the president to reveal them to the world, to Americans who knew little to nothing about them, and to expose him for the fraudulent, repugnant orchestrator of global Islamic terrorism under his design to manufacture a global empire either through the public eye or using stealth. Well, stealth failed miserably, and while the rest of the world understands what the president is doing behind the scenes, most Americans have not the slightest clue. Part of this is due to the vast majority of our media of Obama sycophants covering his tracks through modern yellow journalism, while the remainder is unfortunately about 90% of our population of adult age who are too daft to care.
One of word of advice I provided a friend of mine who is a journalist for Mad World News named Amanda Shea: Never trust the domestic media without also resorting to researching international publications. This is indeed true, and it matters none at all if you choose to read Chinese, Russian, Iranian or North Korean state media. Where there is smoke, there will always be a fire, and your job is to learn where the wind will blow the flames.

Global Jewish Advocacy provided an article for those with inquiring minds to link together all al-Qaeda based terrorist cells on August 5 of this year. You may read it below as well as the link:
All in the (Terrorist) Family
The world of Islamist terror groups is riven with a confused pattern of conflict and competition, yet when it comes to jihad— fighting against Western values, Christians, Jews and Israel—that world is one big happy family.
Militant Sunni and Shi’ite Muslims—currently killing each other in Iraq and Syria—are able to overcome their bitter theological and political disputes to condemn America and the West. Meanwhile in Gaza, Hamas, an offshoot of the Sunni Muslim Brotherhood, and Islamic Jihad, inspired by Shi’ite Iran, compete over who can shoot more missiles into Israel.
Hezbollah, the Lebanese-based, Iranian-controlled terror organization, is fighting for the Syrian regime of Bashar Assad, while Hamas supports the Sunni rebels—primary among them the extremist Salafist Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). An offshoot of al-Qaeda, ISIS has declared a “caliphate” in the areas it controls, has imposed Muslim law there, and kills any Christian who refuse to convert or leave. ISIS has announced its intention of destroying Israel once the Arab states that surround it have been conquered and American influence has been eliminated.
ISIS considers Hamas far too moderate, citing its entrance into a unity government with Fatah as proof. Yet that has not stopped hundreds of ISIS and allied al-Qaeda terrorists from entering Gaza and helping Hamas fight Israel.
Boko Haram, the African branch of al-Qaeda, has taken over much of Northeast Nigeria with the aim of turning it into an Islamist state. It has banned Western education and killed, kidnapped and forcibly converted Christians. Boko Haram has strong ties to ISIS and the other jihadi organizations.
And then there’s Iran, which views the United States as the “Great Satan (Israel is the “Little Satan”). For a while, in retaliation for Hamas support for the Syrian rebels, Iran stopped pouring funds and weapons into Gaza. But Iran has resumed funding and arming Hamas, and Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the Iran’s puppet terror group Hezbollah, has publicly pledged full support to Hamas in its struggle against Israel.
Yes, it’s hard to keep track of all those Islamist groups, but their common denominator is quite simple—hatred of everything we stand for
_______________
Yes, all of these Islamic terrorist cells and state sponsors of this scourge against mankind and the right to simply survive hate not only all what Western Christendom and its Jewry stand for, but too Hindus - which Pakistani Islamists slaughtered as many as 2 million of these innocent peoples near the disputed Kashmir territory in 1970-71 - plus Buddhists. They are also attacking Chinese civilians in their cities; recall that China is again, governed by a communist government. The lone chance a global war will not be waged between those wishing to survive Islam and those within that Satanic faith intent upon exterminating all who fail to convert for apostasy is to play all sides against one another. Unfortunately, that merely delays the inevitable war or series of conflicts against the equally-evil victors.
The danger as the article infers is in the following, and why Barack Obama is funding the Islamic State, Hamas and is likely the ruler of the Muslim Brotherhood:
Clearly, the Obama foreign policy doctrine of dartboard chaos severely miscalculated its trust in Boko Haram. It funded it to topple the government in Lagos for failing to adhere to the president's insistence to form a Pan-African state in harmony with his ideological hero, W.E.B. DuBois', wishes. He wishes to do so as a socialist protectionism cooperative, secular of course on the surface except for his likely clandestine adherence to the Islamic faith judging by past photographs and capacity to speak perfect Arabic in reciting prayers within the religion and to do so with no outside accent whatsoever. As Lagos failed to achieve the president's objective for it, the administration initiated its support for Boko Haram as a cell of freedom fighters. It has been stated many times how one's terrorist is somewhere else a dreaded terrorist cell. And the president, as the world's largest state sponsor of Islamic terrorism, is intent upon manufacturing the entire Middle East and Africa as one large empire or superstate - under Islamic, which will be known as a caliphate for his purposes but instead run by socialists within the faith, himself included.
- The Islamic State is aligned with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as Boko Haram due to their each adhering to the Sunni branch of Islam.
- Iran, a Shi'ite Islamic republic, continues to fund both Hezbollah and the Islamic Jihad, as well as Hamas to destroy Israel. However, it is torn as to who to support between the West and the Islamic State, which seeks to end its influence in Syria by toppling the Bashar al-Assad government in Damascus.

And finally, the Nigerian connection between Boko Haram, the Muslim Brotherhood and President Obama is discussed below by DC Clothesline Online:
The Nigerian Connection – Boko Haram, Obama, and Qatar

President Obama (left) and a Boko Haram operative. |
Last month Boko Haram, a franchise of al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood, kidnapped 276 young girls in Nigeria. This horrifying situation reminded this country, apparently even the White House, that Islamic fascism was still a serious threat to world peace. As if kidnapping innocent children was not bad enough, Boko Haram then announced their intentions to sell the girls into slavery. Prior Boko Haram’s threat that the children, who are mostly Christian, would be sold in the “marketplace,” President Obama publicly ignored the kidnapping. But, even the Obamas found this promise of forced (sexual) servitude so shocking that Michelle launched a Twitter campaign- #bringbackourgirls.
Emphatically, it should not have taken an announcement by Boko Haram to wake Obama up to reality of Islamist groups and human trafficking. That al Qaeda and such groups have for a long time been modern day slavers is actually old news. Not only has al Qaeda practiced slavery in North Africa, but they are a force[1] in the Asian sex slave trade as well. Indeed, Qatar, the home of the al Qaeda’s parent organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, has one of the most oppressed (read: enslaved) labor forces in the entire world, despite also having the highest GDP per capita in the world. There’s some real income inequality for you. Nevertheless, it took the clear and sustained outrage of a shocked world to get the Obamas to join the protest against Boko Haram. At least on the surface of things.
Here are some quick facts about Nigeria, and why the Boko Haram Islamist insurgency is important for the world to pay attention to. Nigeria has both the largest population in Africa (170 million) and Africa’s largest economy. This is thanks, in part, to massive reserves of oil. Boko Haram has been trying to violently overthrow the government of Nigeria since 2001, but in the last few years, especially since 2011, the situation has gotten considerably more tenuous for the Nigerian state. In 2014 alone, there have been (at least) 11 deadly attacks. If the Nigerian state were to collapse, and an Afghanistan-like environment of anarchy were to emerge (as has emerged in Libya since the end of Gaddafi’s rule), there is little doubt that the wars already raging in the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, not to mention South Sudan and other places on the continent, would spill over into Nigeria.
Moreover, like in Nigeria, the conflicts in the Sudan, CAR, and DRC involve Islam and Christianity. Should Boko Haram succeed, Africa would be in a state of near total war – total religious war. It would be very hard to stop this chaos and animosity from spreading across the entire world. Already Europe has seen the ascendency of a fascist-oriented political Right, an ideology whose resentment of Muslim immigrants transcends parties and nations. Whether it is National Front in France or Vlaams Belang in Belgium, the parties of the Nouvelle Droit on the continent make their animosity toward non-Christian immigrants a central part of their political platforms. For this reason, Europe would be especially vulnerable to violence if Boko Haram is not suppressed.
Obama’s Stance. Or Dance?In the days since the kidnapping made international headlines, a curious pattern of policy positions have been unearthed involving the Obama administration’s State Department, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and the view the administration in general of Boko Haram. The State Department, despite the increasing urgency of the situation, and additionally, reports that Boko Haram had originally received seed money from Osama bin Laden, refused to designate Boko Haram a terrorist organization. As Andrew McCarthy put it in his May 13 article:
“Instead, ignoring what Boko Haram pronounces its goals to be, the Obama administration portrayed it as a diffuse organization with no clear agenda that was ascendant due to the policies of the Nigerian government (which is under Christian leadership). As the Boko Haram threat got progressively worse, the State Department and the White House theorized that it could be defused by better government engagement with the Muslim population in Northern Nigeria, and that designating Boko Haram as a terrorist organization—which would have triggered our law’s array of counterterrorism tools and squeezed the organization financially—would raise its prestige while encouraging more government repression against Muslims.”
It’s hard to fathom how the State Department could fail to see the hallmarks of al Qaeda in Boko Haram, whose very name means “western education is forbidden [according to Islam].” If there is still any doubt, Boko Haram made it clear when they hoisted the al Qaeda flag over the kidnapped children. Perhaps this stance by Hillary should not perplex us. It was Hillary, after all, who insisted that the United States had a right to arm the Libyan rebels in overthrowing Gaddafi, despite the fact that many of them were essentially al Qaeda. Since then, Libya has failed to stabilize, while becoming a hotbed for drug trafficking Islamic cartels. (Drug trafficking is another signature of Islamist movements, especially al Qaeda. This theme will be expanded on and explained below.)
And yet Hillary’s State Department’s obliviousness was not an oversight – it appears to be State Department policy. For in May 2013, the Nigerian government conducted air strikes against Boko Haram positions in northeastern Nigeria. Secretary of State John Kerry, at once, urged restraint, cautioning the Nigerian government of Goodluck Jonathan “to respect human rights and not harm civilians.” Let us recall the number of civilians that Obama has effectively ordered killed each year by U.S. drone strikes in the alleged hunt for al Qaeda terrorists (who seem to be more menacing than ever): 2,400 have been killed in drone strikes from 2009 through the end of 2013, many of them civilians. With hypocritical allies like Clinton, Kerry, and their boss, Obama… good luck, Jonathan. You definitely need it.
The Libyan Arms GrabWhat could explain the sudden prominence and threat of Boko Haram, which was, up until 2011, not viewed as an existential threat to Nigerian society? There rise seems to coincide with the fall of Gaddafi and the dispersing of his massive weapons caches. Note that in Iraq, when Saddam Hussein was defeated, it was the very Iraqi weapons which were formerly under state control that fueled the al Qaeda insurgency of the Islamic State of Iraq, or ISI (no pun intended on the part of the author). Several sources, including Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh, suggest the the Obama administration, specifically the CIA acting under the aegis of the Hillary’s State Department, was using the compound in Benghazi as an arms shipment point to rebels (i.e., al Qaeda et al.) in Syria. Would it not make perfect sense that the some of the weapons went south, into Nigeria? And into the Central African Republic, which has also seen a horrific spike in violence since 2011?
What is the Obama administration doing in Africa? It is a question worth considering. Additional food for thought comes from Mali. In 2012, the United States, along with the United Kingdom and France, sanctioned the government of Mali following a military coup. The coup in Mali was a direct result of the previous government’s impotence in effectively thwarting Islamist insurgencies in the north, such as al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). Why would the United States and other NATO allies sanction a government that was fighting al Qaeda from overtaking their country?
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s dictum applies: “Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.” Is Obama really arming and supporting al Qaeda?
The remainder of the article will explore this proposition and offer evidence of why this conclusion looks likely.
Rhymes with “Gutter”Qatar, the little known country on the Arabian peninsula with the “worst” counterterrorism reputation in the region (worse, ahem, than Iran), who also hosts two of the largest American bases in the entire world, Al Udeid and As Saliyah, and who had 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed on payroll, once again appears to be at the center of a scandal. This time, research proves that Boko Haram was founded with the support of the Qatari royal family through a Mauritanian proxy. Not only that, but Qatar was a strong supporter of the Libyan rebels, not only as an advocate through Al Jazeera, but going so far as to participate in military operations. Qatari fighter jets bombed Gaddafi targets, and Qatari special forces reportedly provided basic infantry training to rebel fighters.
There are several aspects that connect the Qataris to the Boko Haram and their allied Islamist insurgencies. Members of the Qatari royal family, the al Thanis, were reported to be among the early supporters of Boko Haram. The former president of Mauritania, Maaouya Sidi Ahmed Ould Taya, a Sunni Muslim, currently resides in the capital of Qatar, Doha. Taya has been linked to Boko Haram (providing “lots of funds”), which was founded in 2002 as, one report puts it, a “money making venture.” Taya now teaches at a Ahmed bin Mohammed Military School in Qatar.
It may seem bizarre to start an Islamist group as a money making venture. Yet it is perfectly sensible, considering that the unpoliced regions of North Africa are smuggler territory. Take, for example, the case of al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). Formed in 1998 out of the Groupe Islamique Armé (an Algerian insurgency group), they operate across northern Africa, including in Mali, Algeria, Chad, Libya, Tunisia, Niger, and Morocco. AQIM is known for kidnapping (sound familiar?) and smuggling, most notably cigarette smuggling. In 2009, a Boeing 727 was discovered, torched, in the Malian city of Gao. It had departed from Venezuela, and was reported filled with cocaine. This was dubbed “Le Boeing de la Coke” by the French press. Smuggling, whether cigarettes or cocaine, kidnapping, slavery, and jihad – that is the AQIM/Boko Haram way. Is it any wonder that when interviewed, one Somali who joined Boko Haram was quoted as saying, “At least I could get a job. The rate of unemployment is a threat to security.”
Drugs are nothing new for the Muslim Brotherhood Qataris. It has already been reported that they are in a strategic venture with the Pakistani National Logistics Cell, who serve as heroin transporters for the Taliban (and couriers for NATO in Afghanistan). But why stop with opium? Cocaine is at least as profitable, and it’s a whole different market. Diversification is a basic business principle, and the Qataris, who operate a huge sovereign wealth fund (Qatar Investment Authority), understand this concept well.
King David’s EmpireIf there is one man who has a lock on Islamism and drugs it is the Indian born Dawood Ibrahim. Among the most wanted men in the world, he enjoys the protection of the Pakistani ISI (intelligence agency) for his enterprise, dubbed D-Company. A major player in Bollywood, Ibrahim has also been tied to several infamous terror attacks, including the 1993 and 2008 bombings in Mumbai, which killed hundreds. In addition to running the Hawala system (used for money laundering), Ibrahim profits handsomely from the Taliban’s opium operations. The market for South American cocaine appears to be one of his newer ventures, for in 2009 Ibrahim’s brother Anis was granted a passport by the government of Belize, a country known for drug transiting and money laundering. (Wonder who ordered up Le Boeing de la Coke?) Additionally, Dawood Ibrahim has been tied with the crystal meth business. So vested is Dawood with the Muslim Brotherhood and the ISI, that he reportedly pledged 30% of his earnings to the ISI in exchange for continued protection.
On a slightly different subject, Ibrahim got his start with the Hindu mafia crowd. These are the same people who are close with the Hindu Nationalists, represented by the Bharatiya Janata Party, or BJP. The BJP, and their leader, the violent, murderous Narenda Modi, just happened to win the Indian elections in a huge landslide victory this month. The BJP itself comes out of the Indian RSS, a movement which idolizes Adolph Hitler (much like the Muslim Brotherhood). Modi, who very likely has back channels to Ibrahim’s criminal organization, will now be the Prime Minister of India.
This network of Islamism and South American drug cartels probably sounds crazy. Yet how else do you explain the fact that Californian members of the (El Salvadoran) drug cartel MS13 have recorded themselves on video fighting the Islamists (on the side of Bashar al-Assad) in Syria? Yes, alongside the MS13 “homie” is a member of the Armenian Power gang, dressed in Hezbollah military garb. In this global turf war, Sunni Islamists/Muslim Brotherhood/al Qaeda are facing off against Hezbollah/Iran/MS13/Armenian organized crime. Hezbollah, a Shiite fundamentalist group (unlike the Sunni Muslim Brotherhood), is a major player in the cocaine business, operating in Mexico as well as Venezuela.
All of this may appear to be so unseemly that it is unfathomable that the United States would ever be involved. There are good reasons for American entanglement.
The Qatari’s American PlaythingsBelow is a sampling of the American establishment’s entrenchment with Qatar.
Georgetown University’s School of Foreign ServiceAmong America’s most respected universities, Georgetown has a campus in Doha for the School of Foreign Service. According to their own website, “The University’s on-going academic discussions with policymakers, independent actors and decision makers, positioned in Washington, D.C and in Doha, Qatar as the center of east-west relations has ensured the relevancy and vibrancy of Georgetown’s programs of study for the coming century.”
Yup, we train American diplomats in Doha – the same Doha that finances terror from Africa to Syria to Europe to Asia. This may, possibly, help explain how Huma Abedin, despite her various documented family connections to the Muslim Brotherhood, became one of Hillary’s closest confidants. Huma was her Deputy Chief of Staff at the State Department, and before that her “body woman.” Under Hillary’s tenure, State even befriended the international mouthpiece of the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Jazeera superstar Yusuf al-Qaradawi, in order to negotiate with the Taliban.
Carnegie Mellon QatarCarnegie Mellon has a substantial footprint in Qatar. They offer no less than five majors of study, including Biological Sciences, Business Administration, Computational Biology, Computer Science, and Information Systems.
This may sound relatively harmless (or not), until you remember that that Carnegie Mellon is partnered with the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security for project involving cyber security, including preventing cyber attacks. As Carnegie Mellon’s website explains:
“The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) is a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense and operated by Carnegie Mellon University. The SEI’s core purpose is to help others make measured improvements in their software engineering capabilities.”
While the SEI is not physically in Qatar, Carnegie Mellon Qatar clearly has leveraged the expertise of their parent university, which is integral to the nation’s cyber security.
BoeingBoeing, America’s preeminent aerospace manufacturer, as well as a critical military contractor, is described by one senior executive as in a kind of “marriage” with Qatar. Said their Vice President for Sales, “The relationship is very strong; it’s kind of like a marriage. Sometimes things are okay and sometimes you’re fighting a little bit.” Not only does Boeing sell commercial airliners, such as the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner, to Qatar Airlines, which has grown faster than any airline in the world in recent years, but also Apache attack helicopters.
ExxonMobilThe largest American oil company has been in Qatar since the early 1990s. Helping the al-Thanis exploit the world’s third largest natural gas reserves (behind Iran and Russia, incidentally two of their greatest geopolitical foes), as of 2010 ExxonMobil had approximately 550 employees in Qatar. Qatargas, the state monopoly LNG company for which ExxonMobil works, had revenues of $37.2 billion in 2011. So intertwined in the affairs of Qatar is the company that in 2013, they sponsored the “Qatar ExxonMobil Open 2013,” an annual tennis tournament, for the 19th straight year.
As has been noted in previous articles, these universities and companies are just a taste of the American involvement with Qatar. Other notable presences include (the foreign policy think tank) The Brookings Institution, Weill Cornell Medical College, Texas A&M, Northwestern University, and Virginia Commonwealth University.
ConclusionTo support the hunt for the Nigerian girls, Obama has pledged reconnaissance drones. Nevermind that NATO airstrikes were deployed to remove Gaddafi, who had, following 9/11/2001 been cooperating with U.S. authorities. The plight of these children apparently do not merit American military might. Meanwhile Canada, a nation which many perceive as the paragon of a peaceful international nation, has sent special forces to aid in the search (albeit, allegedly, they will not engage in any fighting). Meanwhile, a very recent report has suggested that all of North Africa is on the verge of political catastrophe: “Instability and insurgent network activity across Northern Africa in Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Mali, Morocco and Tunisia — and the proliferation of that type of activity into and across Europe — has been increasingly worrying security officials in recent years.”
Considering the larger picture of American entanglement in Qatar – the only open supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, the financiers of terror, a nation which profits handsomely from slavery and narcotics while purporting to be holy rollers – is it any surprise that we find ourselves routinely on the side of Qatar and their Islamist insurgent groups? Whether in Libya, or Syria (where rebels are now observed firing American missiles), or Nigeria, the United States under Obama’s leadership has predictably acted as mercenaries for the Muslim Brotherhood and their various manifestations across the globe. To stop this will be tantamount to challenging some of the most revered American institutions, including the preeminent airline manufacturer and oil companies, the American military (who has two massive bases there), the State Department, and a sizable chunk of academia. Yet if nothing is done, chaos, the chaos that makes smuggling humans and drugs so much easier (and more profitable), will continue to spread.
Finally, it should not be considered taboo to suggest the Obama administration is on the wrong side of this battle, wittingly, willfully, and wholeheartedly. According to an article in The Daily Beast:
“The dispute inside the intelligence community falls along familiar lines about al Qaeda. The White House has emphasized the distinctions between al Qaeda’s core and its affiliates and other aspiring jihadists, who the White House sees as operating almost entirely independent of the central group.However, another faction inside the U.S. intelligence community—one that comprises the current leadership of the Defense Intelligence Agency and others working in the military—see al Qaeda as a flatter organization that coordinates between nodes and operates through consensus in the model of an Islamic Shura council.”
The time for wondering whether there is a coordinating body at work for the global jihad is over. Qatar fulfills this role, and the Defense Intelligence Agency seems to understand that.
Following the pattern of so many military commanders working for this administration, on April 30, the Chief of the Defense Intelligence Agency for the past two years, Lt. General Michael Flynn, announced he would be retiring at the end of the summer.
[1] The Naxali are a Maoist insurgency group based out of eastern India. They have been known to cooperate with the Pakistani ISI, a supporter of Islamic terrorism as well as the protectors of Osama bin Laden, as well as the Abu Sayyaf Group, an al Qaeda group in the Philippines.

_____________________
Not only do both China and Japan own shares in America due to our enormous trade deficits with both nations, so too does Qatar, the world's wealthiest nation in terms of per capita income, which also controls our largest oil corporation as a de facto state corporation. Oil historically serves as the catalyst of wars. As time passes, oil becomes a great source of the unprecedented bloodshed of Islamists who also corner the market in the drug trade in cooperating with South America. This article does not once discuss the Golden Triangle of Southeast Asia; neither will this article, but it will be a topic for discussion very soon.
Conclusion: Was Dr. Randy Short Correct?
As the president appears to be the strong arm for the Muslim Brotherhood, does this also mean he is the supreme leader of that organization too? Why else is he concerned if Boko Haram and the long network of links spawned by al Qaeda seem to corner the market globally in oil and the drug trade? This is too the issue with the Golden Triangle involving the Burmese government's cooperation with Laos and Thailand, the latter of which just saw its military successfully throw a coup d'etat of its own democratically-elected government with the blessing of its king. Dr. Short indeed pegged the story of the CIA under Obama prepping Boko Haram to topple first Nigeria and later, the Central African Republic. It has, in effect, achieved these goals after Mali, for example, was toppled. As last month the world learned less than one week following the two Ukrainian jet fighters being shot down by Russian anti-aircraft missiles how an airliner "crashed" in Mali, how French President Francois Hollande chose to include the possibility of terrorists shooting down the plane and yet little since has been reported aside from the weather being terrible and could have served as the reason behind the tragedy, why indeed must all these issues be hush-hush? Why else would the president choose to open our borders to the entire Latin American region of the world, in which leaders of international drug cartels plus Islamic terrorists may enter our nation undetected and eventually to be subsidized? Why indeed does Sen. Rand Paul support amnesty as well as a potential war with Russia over defending Ukraine simply due to his commitment to honor our alliance with the British to defend the nation in accordance to the Budapest Referendum of 1994? Why, too, was the late Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto assassinated on December 27, 2007 when she divulged to the late British journalist David Frost that Osama bin Laden was murdered six years earlier in 2001 by Saeed Omar Sheikh, who currently is in a Pakistan prison sentence to be executed for more than 12 years?
If you missed the key portion of the interview at the six minute mark, the bottom video will focus solely upon it. Recall too as stated in a prior blog article how Gen. Pervez Musharraf suspended Pakistan's constitution the following day in fear that he was about to be overthrown via coup d'etat, likely by the ISI.
The president, in my opinion, is intent upon legalizing the sale and retailing of currently-banned illicit drugs beyond the simple support to do the same for marijuana. This has nothing to do at all with providing the American people with the liberty of purchasing medically-harmful foreign substances simply to appease his millennial supporters, but rather to engage in the drug trade himself in a legal capacity. Since you read my prior article discussing how he continues to fund contras for both rebel alliances in states unfriendly to his policies or governments combatting freedom fighters who would subvert his global design for his totalitarian designs, it only makes sense to topple Venezuela to place right-wing rebels who are friendly to him in power in Caracas, or to topple the current Panamanian government so that we have de facto control again of the Panama Canal to corner the trade routes in the Western Hemisphere to push out Chinese and Russian vessels as both nations are engaging in a shift into our hemispheric dominion of hegemony, and for learning measures to topple Cuba and, for all intents and purposes, discover the key to their health care system in order to enforce the Affordable Care Act as a means to keeping tabs with Main Street, U.S.A. once the rumored microchips are installed in the next three years if the law is not outright repealed. The fact the president just three months ago traded five of the Taliban's highest ranked officials and used Qatar as the conduit to complete the transaction for the derelict St. Bowe Bergdahl, whose father is a known supporter and correspondent for the Taliban and therefore, al-Qaeda, is more than simply a matter of curiosity with no ties that bind. Pakistan, whose ISI (Inter-State Intelligence) created the Taliban government in Kabul nearly a generation ago and also funded al Qaeda and provided for Osama bin Laden his base for operations in Tora Bora, Kandahar and in Pakistan itself, is the Central Asian power broker to the Qatari government's dominance of the Arab League region for terrorist cells. As we funded al Qaeda in Libya, where the same weaponry read the Islamic State in Syria and Boko Haram in Nigeria, the president is intent upon molding a coalition of states that are either favorable already to his policies and were funded by our tax dollars during the initial stages of the Arab Spring to topple each of the old secular dictatorships in favor of those to connect Obama with his inner web of what might be considered sultanates ruled under Sharia law. He publicly supported the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and considered aiding financially in its maintenance of absolute power under the guise of democracy so that he had a friendly government in Cairo as they were toppled by another coup d'etat; why else would the new government insist upon frisking John Kerry upon landing in Cairo for the peace talks? Egypt has publicly supported Netanyahu's quest to destroy Hamas once and for all; yet the Obama administration continues to fund Hamas illegally, paid Qatar $11 billion dollars to bolster its defenses on the same day that UN Gen. Sec. Ban Ki-moon flew the state's chartered jet to Cairo on July 21. The fact that Boeing is in bed with the Qatari government in accord to the strategic arrangement with our government must not at all ever be discounted. It reads like a bad Alex Jones article, but sadly, it is not at all incredible since many of his reported conspiracies are now being revealed publicly.
America rules the world, which now reeks of Big Brother, of George Orwell's fears for the world, of the Manor Farm and all the animals living to serve the pig dictator, Napoleon, who forced his partner Snowflake to flee after sicking his dogs on him. The PATRIOT Act, unintendedly of course, led to the current breaches of constitutional power by President Obama. That act, however, is unconstitutional because it violates the Fourth Amendment right to being free from the government's unlawful attempts at searches and seizures for American civilians. And now that we now are a nation no longer with borders, what then defines an American citizen? Is there even such a thing as an American citizen or a United States of America today, or in Obama's mind, the world is, indeed, America? If he chooses to declare everyone American civilians, can he also do the same by signing an executive order stating that any citizen may have his or her citizenship revoked, in which case the rule of law under our present constitutional legal code no longer is applied to them? Could he set up FEMA camps for conservatives, Christians and Jews or his political enemies - enemies of the state - just as he has for the deluge of illegal immigrants who now reside in $50 million dollar vacation resorts allegedly paid for by the Koch brothers according to Michael Savage in a previous article? We indeed do live in times which try our souls, and if we fail to hang together and fight, we shall surely hang separately. Terrorism is not just a half world away, he resides in Washington, D.C. at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue inside the White House when he is not on a posh golf course or flying cross country to a Democratic Party fundraiser at a Hollywood celebrity's home.
