TOP U.S. MILITARY OFFICER: ISIS HAS ‘APOCALYPTIC END-OF-DAYS VISION’ THAT MUST BE DEFEATED


‘News From An Uncompromising Biblical Worldview’

Obama already did that. - Mary Waterton

Heather Clark, Christian News Network — (WASHINGTON) During a recent press conference, America’s top military officer asserted that the Islamic terrorist group ISIS, or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, has an ‘apocalyptic end-of-days strategic vision’ that must be defeated by a coalition of forces.

Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, made the statements on Thursday as both he and Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel discussed concerns about the group.

“This is an organization that has an apocalyptic, end-of-days strategic vision and which will eventually have to be defeated,” he said.

Dempsey remarked that ISIS must be fought in Syria, but that various groups must join together to defeat the terrorist organization.

“[C]an they be defeated without addressing that part of their organization which resides in Syria? The answer is no. That will have to be addressed on both sides of what is essentially at this point a nonexistent border,” he said, referring to the Islamic group’s takeover of parts of both Syria and Iraq. “And that will come when we have a coalition in the region that takes on the task of defeating ISIS over time.”

“They marry ideology, a sophistication of strategic and tactical military prowess. They are tremendously well-funded,” Hagel added. “This is beyond anything that we’ve seen. So we must prepare for everything.”

As previously reported, Muslims believe that in the 10th century, the Islamic Mahdi—or redeemer—went into hiding, but will appear again to make all things right with the world. According to the website Answering Islam, Muslims also claim that Jesus will return as a follower of Islam and will establish the religion on the earth.

“Muslims believe that after Allah miraculously delivered Jesus from death, He was assumed into heaven alive in a similar fashion to the Biblical narrative regarding Elijah,” the site outlines. “Since then, Muslims believe, Jesus has remained with Allah and has been awaiting His opportunity to return to the earth to finish His ministry and complete His life.”

“While the Mahdi … is clearly seen as being a superior to Jesus, Jesus is still said to be a leader of the Muslim Community [upon His return],” it continues. “According to the Islamic traditions, Jesus’ primary purpose will be to oversee the institution and the enforcement of the Islamic Shariah law all over the world.”

Nadeem Walayat of the Market Oracle echoed these sentiments.

“What ISIS and virtually all Muslims anticipate is for Jesus to return on the white Eastern Minaret of Damascus (Syria) gliding in on the wings of two angels and then through much blood and carnage will convert the whole world to Islam including killing all of the Jews, break all of the crosses and live as a Muslim for 40 years, before dying and thus heralding the final countdown to Judgment Day when Muslims expect to enter paradise,” he explained.

ISIS specifically seeks to establish an Islamic State in the areas that it conquers, placing the regions under Islamic rule.

Earlier this month, VICE News released a video documentary showing Abu Mosa, a spokesman for ISIS threatening to retaliate if the U.S. interferes with its establishment of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

“I say to America that the Islamic Caliphate has been established,” he said. “Don’t be cowards and attack us with drones. Instead send your soldiers, the ones we humiliated in Iraq.”

“We will humiliate them everywhere, Allah willing, and we will raise the flag of Allah in the White House,” Mosa declared.

‘TRUTHY’ JOINS NSA, IRS IN WATCHING YOU


America’s Independent News Network
“A Free Press for a Free People”


‘Reminiscent Of The Treachery We Witnessed Under The Nazi Rregime’

Bob Unruh, WND — Americans’ telephone conversations already are being monitored by the National Security Agency and their health-care policies by the Internal Revenue Service. Now there’s “Truthy,” a government-funded project at Indiana University that will watch their Tweets for “political smears” and “social pollution.”

The goal is to track those comments.

The Washington Free Beacon reported this week that the government already has contributed nearly $1 million to the project that its organizers say is to “analyze and visualize the diffusion of information on Twitter.”

“The Truthy system evaluates thousands of tweets an hour to identify new and emerging bursts of activity around memes of various flavors. The data and statistics provided by Truthy are designed to aid in the study of social epidemics: How do memes propagate through the Twittersphere? What causes a burst of popularity?”

The program operators say: “We also plan to use Truthy to detect political smears, astroturfing, misinformation, and other social pollution. While the vast majority of memes arise in a perfectly organic manner, driven by the complex mechanisms of life on the Web, some are engineered by the shady machinery of high-profile congressional campaigns. Truthy uses a sophisticated combination of text and data mining, social network analysis, and complex networks models. To train our algorithms, we leverage crowdsourcing: we rely on users like you to flag injections of forged grass-roots activity. Therefore, click on the Truthy button when you see a suspicious meme.”

John Whitehead, president of the Rutherford Institute and author of “A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State,” said it’s a step beyond what the U.S. Constitution allows.

“For the federal government to be tracking so-called hate speech or subversive propaganda is not only Orwellian but violates the very fundamental rights to free speech and privacy guaranteed to us by the Constitution,” he told WND. “Under such a program, the Founding Fathers would have been under surveillance and probably rounded up for opposing the British government.

“Moreover, encouraging fellow citizens to inform on each other is reminiscent of the treachery we witnessed under the Nazi regime where people were arrested for merely raising questions about government actions. This is clearly an illegitimate use of taxpayer monies.”

The National Science Foundation-funded program aims to “mitigate the diffusion of false and misleading ideas, detect hate speech and subversive propaganda, and assist in the preservation of open debate,” according to records of the project.

The Free Beacon reported that while “Truthy” claims to be non-partisan, the project’s lead investigator, Filippo Menczer, supports numerous progressive advocacy groups, including President Obama’s Organizing for Action, Moveon.org, Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, Amnesty International and True Majority.

Menczer teaches at the university and links to those groups from his biography at the Center for Complex Networks and Systems Research, the report said.

The concept of “hate speech” has been used as a political weapon since before Obama became president. But it was his signature that made law the federal “hate crimes” act, which applies special penalties based on person’s beliefs and feelings.


Among the organizations that previously have been labeled as “haters” are the World Congress of Families, which promotes the “natural family,” the Drudge Report for covering “black crime” and Joseph Farah, WND founder and CEO, who long has been targeted by Southern Poverty Law Center which has described WND as “the conspiracist ‘news’ site.”

Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., believe their Hate Crime Reporting Act of 2014 “would create an updated comprehensive report examining the role of the Internet and other telecommunications in encouraging hate crimes based on gender, race, religion, ethnicity, or sexual orientation and create recommendations to address such crimes,” stated a news release from Markey’s office.

The Alliance Defending Freedom has called such “hate-crimes” bills “another nail in the coffin of the First Amendment.”

“All violent crimes are hate crimes, and all crime victims deserve equal justice,” ADF Senior Legal Counsel Erik Stanley said in a statement. “This law is a grave threat to the First Amendment because it provides special penalties based on what people think, feel or believe.”

SEAL Team Six Commander: Send In The Marines To Retrieve Sgt. Tahmooressi From Mexico

Lead Story by Todd Cefaratti, Tea Party News Network (TPNN) —
For months, an American Marine has lingered in a Mexican jail for having accidentally brought firearms into Mexico. On March 31st, 2014, Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi missed his exit near San Diego and accidentally drove into Mexico with no way to turn around. The Marine carried three loaded firearms in his truck and was arrested and has remained in Mexico’s infamously horrid prison system ever since.

While the Obama Administration has concerned themselves with Michael Brown’s death and as the vacationer-in-chief remains MIA on Martha’s Vineyard, taking breaks to fundraise for Democrats on occasion, the Obama Administration has done nothing to secure the release of the American veteran who lingers in a jail cell.

One man, however, has an idea. Ryan Zinke, the former SEAL Team Six Task Force Commander and current Congressional candidate in Montana, sees the current situation regarding Sgt. Tahmooressi unacceptable. His solution? Send the Marines into Mexico and take back our soldier.
“If I was the first executive of the United States, I would have called the first Marine division and told them to go get their marine back, and I would give them the equipment to do it,” Zinke revealed in a recent interview with Breitbart News.

“I cannot fathom why the media is not pounding the issue,” Zinke explained. “Here is a young marine who’s being held in a Mexican prison and where is this administration? Where is our country? We need to demand that this marine comes back home.”
Breitbart News reported on Zinke’s outstanding resume and noted,
After spending two separate tours with the SEAL Team Six, he served as a Special Operations Officer in Europe commanding the SEAL Joint Task Force TWO in support of Special Operations missions in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, and Kosovo. He was elected to the Montana State Senate in 2008.

Zinke considers himself an optimist and feels America can regain its position as the world’s leader, but we can’t do it under this administration. “We can get respect back, but we can’t lead from behind,” he explained. Moreover, he says that “You lead from the front by doing what you said you were going to do. When you say you are going to be on Israel’s side, then you take its side.”

“If during the Reagan years you were to say that Egypt would be a closer ally to Israel than America, no one would believe it,” said the commander. Bannon agreed, saying that the turnabout is “absolutely shocking.”
Zinke is absolutely correct. This administration is, seemingly, only interested in playing hardball with Americans who resist their radical agenda. On the world stage, however, the Obama Administration is cowardly and flighty on important issues and thoroughly uncommitted to American interests.

If the American military is, indeed, dedicated to the mantra of “leave no man behind,” then Obama must send in troops to retrieve our soldier if he is not man enough to force the release of Sgt. Tahmooressi through diplomacy.

Marine Stuns A Tea Party Rally With The Fourth Verse Of America’s
National Anthem: The Star Spangled Banner

A Marine stuns the crowd at a Tea Party with the fourth verse of the Star Spangled Banner. So Much for a Secular Nation. Thank you for the reminder that our rights come from God and not any man or group of men. God Bless America and Semper Fi Marine! -David W. Hedrick

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
