Introduction


I  wrote this blog about a year and a half ago.  I 'parked' it as a draft because it didn't quite 'fit in' with the other material. 
It was a sort of 'therapeutic' blog - after I had finished researching ISIL, its mindset and the cornucopia of horrors it beckoned believers, from the ages of 5 or 6 to the elderly, to wallow in, for guaranteed eternal salvation and the 'joy' (or rapture) of welcoming Allah's first Sharia kingdom here on earth.  I was still in a particular 'frame of thought' - which I felt I had to finally 'exorcise'.

I thought that, in some places, the blog 'rambled' on a bit, got too quasi-religious, ethereal and seemed to 'loose the plot'. 
If it appears in places to be decoherent and 'off-track' then please accept my apologies and attribute this to what I have just mentioned above.

I was recently going to delete it (because it is 'too rambling') with the other bits and pieces which never formed completed blogs.  But I looked at it again and, by coincidence, it was mentioned on TV that (yet another) a row about anti-Semitism was again raging within the British Labor Party.  I was curious to find out what this row was about and saw that there were issues which needed to be addressed, however uncomfortable they made one feel or think.
Recently, in the United Kingdom, a member of the Labour (Labor) Party was suspended for alleged anti-Semitism.  Her 'crime' was that she said that, in effect, the Jews only care about their own holocaust and ignore other peoples holocausts - the crime of slavery and the holocaust against Black people for centuries, Stalin's holocaust against millions of Russians, Pol Pot against millions in Cambodia, the holocaust against the Tutsi tribe in the Rwanda genocide (note that this is called 'genocide' not holocaust - which is 'reserved' for the crime by the Nazis against the Jews.)   I might add the Australian Aborigines and Native Inhabitants of Tasmania, the Indian Tribes in the Americas and the crime of economic slavery against  the African-Brazilians in Brazil today (who numbered over 75% of the population - before Brazil stopped recording racial statistics - on the grounds that racial differences were irrelevant) - and all such holocausts ignored by the world media and international community.
  The point being made here is that  peoples on different parts of this planet have suffered their own unique holocausts. 
It is neither generally known (nor publicized enough) that the term 'holocaust' has indeed, internationally, been extended to commemorate the sufferings of different peoples throughout the world.  Holocaust Day in many countries provide an opportunity for younger and older generations to reflect on the sufferings not just of their own 'tribe' or 'race' but place this evil into a better world perspective to try to minimize the likelihood of it happening again.

On the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, it's a fitting time to publish it as it was originally drafted, unedited.


The Islamic State or 'Bubbleworld'

 ISIL is probably one of the most evil movements this century  has created.
We have seen how the hatreds of Communism and Nazism tore Europe apart and resulted in the genocide and displacement of nearly eighty million souls during the last century.
The additional challenge in the twenty first century is now religious extremism preaching hatred, intolerance and death to unbelievers.
It's predecessors were imperial powers who used it's same methods of barbarity to
strike fear and terror into subjected populations and minorities in tribal backward Europe.
What is remarkable how much in common the Hutu preachers of hate in Rwanda, Pol Pot in Cambodia and all organizers of mass genocide  have in common with Nazism and Communism - if you care to study their propaganda literature.
It's organisers are not uneducated.  Quite the opposite.
But neither were the proponents and the politicians who supported Hitler or of Empires which used mass rape, enslavement of men and women as a means to their perfect end - a world where only one race or tribe or philosophy or religion would prevail.
But do you really need to read the vile and hateful literature of the Nazi regime to understand neo-Nazism or Communism or modern Fascism?   I contend that you do not.  Reading through it all is quite sickening and unless you have a strong constitution, bad for your mental health.  So I recommend that you read about it through people who have studied it and will honestly tell you of it's evil herein. Why allow yourself (and if you believe, your soul) to be contaminated and consumed with the fires of hatred and contempt for all others?
I say honestly because, not too long ago, someone I know, on several occasions, asked that I lie at diplomatic receptions so that diplomats are asked dishonest questions and not those which ordinary people (myself) are genuinely concerned about.
Her basis was that 'we only ask nice questions' at our Receptions.
I thought, I reflected and I contemplated for some guidance on what I had been asked to do.

I was taught that you never have to obey any command your conscience tells you is wrong.
You do not have to tell people in authority lies - especially if you believe that such lies will ultimately assist in creating misery and suffering for others.
It's almost as if lying is an essential part of our psyche or culture. [At least it is of hers!]
Without it, we [some people] are lost in a dishonest world where other wolves will devour the  lambs caught between right and wrong.
This happened on three separate occasions over a period of 3 months.
Something else happened around that that time - between at least two of the events.
I was speaking with a teenager (18 year old, practicing Christian, male) who was telling me that it was all 'the buzz' for kids to be watching the video of a Jordanian pilot being roasted alive by ISIL.
I almost jumped out of my skin when he told me this - but (alas!) pretended it was of insignificance to me.  It was of plenty of significnce!
During my lifetime I have personally seen the aftermath of bomb explosions - where people have been torn limb from limb and have been a witness to other horrors (both first and second-hand) which I do not want to relive, because, believe, me it is not therapeutic to relive everything - as the psychiatrists will falsely tell you in order to make money out of treating your misery and torment.
So I was absolutely horrified that this is what teenagers (and possibly younger) are watching 'for kicks' as he had no reason to lie to me and the manner in which the issue had arisen was not designed to either boast nor impress me - but just 'matter-of-fact' - this is what 'turns them on.'
In a world where children are constantly lied to - and they know they are being lied to - is it any wonder that they look 'elsewhere' for 'excitement?'
They are told they cannot have sex - yet their parents do it every night.
They cannot look at porn magazines, that taking drugs [even legal 'highs'] are evil and forbidden.  They cannot watch violence [unless it is violence sanctioned ritually by the State to promote the ideals of heroism in war or law enforcement] because we have 'nannies' to constantly regulate and monitor every aspect of their private existence.  They cannot gather in shopping Malls or within seconds security (active or passive electronic subsonic or ultrasonic) will turn up to confront them.  They cannot walk even in shops without being followed [see the recent law case where staff in the U.S. were ordered to follow every Black customer who came into the store chain - throughout the United States - and is now (quite rightly in my view) being sued for racial discrimination.]
I linked both these things (my politically correct individual living in her 'bubble') and what 'excites' young adults - the roasting alive, like a sheep on a spit,  of another human being, and his screams of pain - Reality TV ISIL style - for the pleasure of the masses.
We all live in 'politically correct' bubbles.  We try to creat these same bubbles for all those around us - then ultimately attempt to impose the 'serenity' of these newly 'discovered' bubbles on the rest of society and ultimately on the rest of the world.  We create a whole industry or structures which justify such bubbles - in much the same way as Dr. Goebbels created a whole industry of writing letters from Jews burnt in gas ovens in concentration camps to create the 'illusion' of 'normality' existing.  But things were far from 'normal' in concentration camps. The issue was that things were so abnormal that it was necessary, no should I say a prerequisite that 'normality' be invented because what was happening was patently abnormal and too insane to be a part of the normal world - but in actual reality it was a part of  normal life if you were a prisoner in Bergen-Belsen or Dachau or Theresienstadt concentration camps or a camp guard or commander.
People needed to invent lies to remain sane in the insane world we live in.
A furthert example is the mass rape of women and children by the Allied Forces during World War II.
Mass rape of women and children during World War II was just as common by Allied Forces as it was by the Russians.  Yet an industry of lies through historical books were created for the world 'to buy into' and a new  history 'created'  where the only 'rapists' were the 'barbarian' conquering Russian troops.  If you did not 'buy into the lie' you were 'frozen out' of mainstream society and denied a platform to evocate such truths.
Why such events happened can only be discerned if you study history since the dawn of human civilization and go figure out for yourself.
But we pretended that Allied troops were above such atavism, were Saints and the epitome of every lie we had invented over the centuries.
That we (in the West) are somehow more advanced in spiritual development than the animals in the jungle or the 'naked savages' in Africa, Asia or the 'uncivilized' Americas or convict colonies Australasia and New Zealand - until the truth finally surfaces that is to say.
Allied Western troops don't rape women in war zones  'en masse' only the 'barbarian' Russians and the Japanese, Africans, Mongols and other 'savages' do this.
The lies our society creates to maintain it's sanity are quiet profound.

Slavery or Personal Slave Ownership Was Abolished Because It Became Too Uneconomic In It's Existing Form In the New Industrialized World 

A further example is slavery.  Slavery was not abolished because of do-gooders but because slavery, as it existed, was had become patently uneconomic and, with the advent of the industrial revolution and mass production, better forms of 'new slavery' which were more productive financially were now available for exploitation.
This is why Christendom enjoys the luxury of criticizing 'slavery' in the developing world - where, to survive, children must work to support the extended family.
In developing and underdeveloped societies there are no advanced networks of State support and as all that you have is your extended family to turn to for financial and social assistance when times are hard there are no other options but to do something to earn a living - enter the Western NGOs to 'remould' third world societies and cultures into their own making and values -which never incidentally existed in reality(!)
 Another word for this is neo-colonialism.
So even the history books we teach our kids values about are all built on lies.

Why My Colleague Was Right And You Can Never Tell The Truth
I am now going to turn the argument upside down and say that lying is an essential prerequisite for survival and success.
This individual was right about lying and that I was patently wrong and naiive.
But it is because of the fact that I was naiive and wrong, that ISIL and it's inheritors [and even more evil from the dark side, just waiting for the boat ride across the Styx] will be waging Holy Wars for the next 100 years - and that, when such conflicts in the Muslim Arab world finally simmer, millions of souls (if not more) will have either perished or suffered greatly.

Evil Does Not Arrive From Nowhere
Yes, you could tell the truth - but who will ever listen if nobody will ever publicize you - because the mass media is also living in the same bubble and will never entertain your
viewpoint as part of mainstream knowledge - that is - until a tsunami hits or is predicted to hit (sic. that revelations about the truth are about to 'go viral') and someone 'politically' acceptable can be 'invented' to sing a new narrative about the 'revised' history or 'truth.'
It's a perfect system of bubbles of lies all insular from the feelings and emotions and sufferings of the real victims.
This is what has happened in the Arab world over the past centuries.
A few have benefited but the masses have ben impoverished and enslaved without a voice and without any hope of salvation - except through the words written in the Koran.
So ISIL was a movement waiting for it's time to come in the Arab world.
It was never a matter of 'if' but 'when' this monster-in-waiting would be let loose on the world stage.

To Prepare For What ISIL Is Saying Through It's Publication, DABIQ, You Must Recognise These Facts Or You Will Have Nothing To Argue Against It's Evil 

I won't even talk about the horrors of slavery of African people by the colonial powers nor the selling of naked men and women, boys and girls in the Slave Markets of Liverpool [England] or in South Carolina or Lexington Kentucky or even slavery today in Brazil or wage slavery in the United States.  Neither will I dwell too long on the fact tha African and Arab rulers and those victorious in battle traded captured slaves to Christendom and that the Koran endorses slavery - but it does not call it slavery by name. That similar practices exist worldwide is true today.
If you live in a financially impoverished community, have an extended family where a single income will not pay the bills, the children must work or everyone will starve to death. But you will be hard-pressed to find such controversial subjects talked honestly about in your history books or even in your media.
the emphasis will always be on 'exploitation' 'abuse' and 'neglect' and the urgency to impose our 'enlightened' Western values on Muslim, African and Asian societies.
The only acceptable slave economies are that run by multinationals where outsourcing destroys local Western and U.S. communities which are considered 'uneconomic' overpriced and no longer competitive - so the availability of labor in the developed world  
 Lies have been invented to 'protect' the children from the 'truth.'  Bubbles of politically correct language have been invented by the new Dr. Goebbels' so that nobody asks 'awkward' questions.
But kids are not stupid.  Intelligent ones never were.  They now have access to a treasure of information via the internet which once could be hidden away from them for their entire lives - effectively creating the perfect world bubble of  blissful lies for them to exist in. Should any raise 'awkward' questions it was never a problem as there were always enough too frightened to reveal the truth.
But nobody can conceal the truth forever - only  just long enough to benefit from the lie.
So now the aurhorities attempt to ban whole societies from sites on the internet in order to 'protect'  from 'exploitation'. 

Call 911! Kids Are Attempting To Find  Out The Truth via the Internet!
We attempt to ensure that the only websites they can visit have our stamp of approval and
are not politically incorrect [sites we say the law forbids them to visit.]
So now, having failed to achieve voluntary 'compliance', we introduce 'the whip' to compel it.  If that fails, then we can commence the 'torture' program. 
It is, in part, a rejection of our perfect world of lies that kids, for entertainment, today, watch a human being roasted  by other human beings (and prodded with an iron rod from time to time to ensure his 'full' and 'complete' roasting - according to ISIL's twisted interpretation of Islam.]

Rejecting The Narrative Christian kids, rejecting our perfect lies, are watching human roasting - 'Reality' Islamic TV - ISIL-style - because of it's 'entertainment' value (us having left them with little else but boredom, deceit and lies.) I am beginning to understand why young Muslims, some probably equally out of boredom many others for certain out of a rejection of the 'bubble of lies' we create  to deceive, join ISIL for 'adventure' and in search of  'the truth.'                    I will tell them this now - and this is not propaganda.  Christians never found the truth through their creation of a world or universe of lies neither will  Islam nor any other civilization or religion or philosophy.

Islam Rules, OK?
Islam is a wonderful religion  but sadly it can never be hijacked to 'rule the world' on a foundation of lies - which is what ISIL is attempting.
You probably do not know that, until the rise of movements such as ISIS and Al Qaeda which are, visibly, even to an educated non-Muslim such as myself, anti-Islamic and rotten to their core, Islam and not Christianity, was the fastest growing religion in the world. 
Without  movements such as ISIL, Salafism and Wahhabism, by pure default, Islam would have dominated the world - but as a conformist intolerant religion not one of peace tolerance and co-existence for all faiths, at least not yet.
If, to take it further, Islam had our equivalent of a Martin Luther, John Wesley, John Calvin  then ther is no limit to it's possibilities after breakout from it's fixation of intolerance and conformity.
There are contradictions between what I have just said and above, but, go figure(!)
You cannot build and sustain an existence forever on foundations of lies.
Yet we all cannot live with the truth because it is too painful otherwise.   This is humanity's sad paradox.

In the absence of lies, we are all naked in the embarrassment of the  hypocrisies we have all hidden before our God or Gods and, more important, from each other.

It is much easier and more practical to build edifices to Mammon than to an abstract all knowing all seeing entity.

You can never build the prefect world either on the lies my colleague wanted me to 'buy into' or by roasting other human beings alive just for the fun of it - then justifying this in the name of religion.  Both are two sides of the same coin. And you'd better recognise this or you will not survive the ISIL's of this world mentally intact.


'Herrenvolk' - ISIS Style
 Many civilizations have a narrative around themselves as a 'Herrenvolk' or 'Master Race'.
ISIL's is built around the Prophet as leader or Fuhrer with Islam's followers as the 'Herrenvolk'.   Such has always been appealing to imperial powers from time immemorial and indeed civilizations have been built upon such lies - until they all came crumblimg into the dust with nothing remaining except their ultimate physical demolition by the next Master Race-in-waiting.  The Taliban smashed history into dust so too do ISIL.
But such is the ultimate faith awaiting all civilizations - if they do not succumb to other catastrophies first.

Edutainment [of sorts!]
Have you ever watched 'Planet Of The Apes' - the made for TV series?
In one episode a human and an ape fall into a hole in the ground and discovers a picture on a wall showing apes as caged animals in a zoo for human entertainment and spectacle.
The ape immediately attempts to kill the human fearing the truth about the past world will be revealed and upset the order of society.

The Killing Fields
So too ISIL kill everyone who is remotely linked to the past because their new world can never be built upon any effigy or picture which shows a prior contrary view of existence to that narrative they have created about existence.
This effectively means they (ISIL) will ultimately have to convert, kill, or enslave at least 98% of all Muslims and 100% of everyone else (including you and me.)
Surprisingly you are probably thinking that I will say how appalling this is.
To myself however this is simply a logical extension of the past millennia.

They say that the past cannot be changed.  The present and the past both together influence the future.
ISIL's future is built upon the horrors of the past - as they so perfectly demonstrate today - so logically it can never be the Heaven of the future.
It follows the same sad pattern of every Satan which preceeded it and such makes it our quest to ensure it fails in its tasks of murder, enslavement andthe roasting alive of our children and loved ones as heretics - like witches to be burnt at the Stake.

DABIQ
Is the magazine of the Islamic State.  I have read it from Issue 1 and it is built on a pack of lies.  The sad thing is they are the mirror-image of the bubbles of lies Christendom has created - so the wheel is simply being re-invented.
This is why young adults are turning to extremist literature and propaganda online.
It gives them a perspective which is being actively denied or hidden in and by the mainstream mogul-controlled media and their networks worldwide.
Such propaganda, similar to ISIL's, plays with your thoughts and feelings by 'revealing' to you 'truths' which have been 'hidden' by politicians, schoolteachers and the media over the centuries. All of such are mentioned above in brief.
Dabiq, like the more effective extremist counterpart online publications is a very carefully crafted propaganda magazine based on the worst the twentieth century had to offer.
It does little to conceal it's contempt and hatred of Christianity and it's perception of Christians as savages and 'unclean' - not worthy of the term 'human being.'
But, like all extremist publications, unless you have studied propaganda you will be lost in it's content and accept it's 'connections' between what the Prophet said and the history of the Muslim world.
Sadly, ISIL has nothing to offer Islam but more blood.
Was it Mahathma Ghandi who said that if we all practice 'an eye for an eye' soon the whole world will go blind.

Protect and Serve
When your services are called upon by your Commander-In-Chief to protect America and the world in the Middle East and in the Gulf you need to be fully aware of what a Holy War entails in order to persevere to final victory.
For the reasons above, it will be a 'hollow' victory - but at least you will have the reassurance that your family and loved ones will continue to enjoy the freedom to be different, to practice whatever religion they want (or none) to criticize without fear and, above all else, to be able to express themselves as they so choose.


Underlying Thoughts The two most important objectives of education are to provide knowledge and to give it's recipients a compass or GPS so that they are not stuck in a rut forever.
ISIL achieves both in DABIQ but it's truths are lies and half-truths and it's 'compass' or GPS is attempting to drive Islam over a cliff and into the abyss out of which it will take centuries to recover.

My book, entitled 'DABIQ' or 'Honey, How Do We tell the Kids About ISIL?' was inspired by the above encounters with MCW and 'the kid'.
I had sort of run out of new ideas and had no 'compass'.

It is deliberately written in a quasi-mystical style (gotta get yer brain re-orientated!) to bring readers into the 'thought framework' of what a Holy War, 21st century style, entails.

Unlike ISIL and rather paradoxically, I hardly make any mention of God - but the essence of the divine is contained in selected quotations throughout it's content.
I leave them 'nameless' so you can judge them 'by their content' and not, metaphorically speaking, 'by the color of their skin'.
The booklet will enable you, as a novice, to be more than prepared for assignment in the Middle East or Persian Gulf without having to read through ISIL's hate propaganda to understand completely their 'message'.  Nothing will shock you so hopefully, with such knowledge, you will be less traumatized  and suffer far less in the aftermath than someone totally or less mentally prepared than yourself.
You will be able to manage better the hypocricies and contradictions and fortify yourself
with both as strengths rather than, as ISIL intends as weaknesses - thereby  leaving you more vulnerable to ISIL's emotional or psychological exploitation, by a very cunning enemy.
  Your senses will aslo be heightened - and this may save your life as you will be less complacent in this unique hostile environment than you might otherwise be in a 'normal' war zone.

On reflection,to save myself the time of yet another blog on the above issue, best that I refer you to one already out there which aptly summarizes what I might have said, in the referenced article below written by Sam Kriss:
(extract)
''It's hard not to see this as racism. Jackie Walker is of mixed heritage, both Jewish and black Jamaican; it's easy for white Jews to dismiss her as being not fully Jewish. When the pronouncements of a few unrepresentative and unelected "Jewish community leaders" are taken to be representative of our entire community, black, leftist, pro-Palestinian Jews like Jackie Walker don't fit into simple conceptual categories. (And it's worth remembering that this Jewish inability to be easily assimilated into existing structures was a major factor in pre-war European anti-Semitism.) But if Jews can be anti-Semitic – and this is what Walker's critics are tacitly claiming – then her treatment is also bald and despicable anti-Semitism.''

Shimon Peres – R.I.P.


First I would like to pay a personal tribute to the man who could have brought a permanent peace to the Middle East.
I always believed, for most of my lifetime, that Peres, together with Golda Meir were the two singular individual leaders with the potential and capability of achieving this elusive Nirvana.
His passing ends an era where there existed leaders in Israel with a genuine desire for a true, a just and a permanent peace with the Palestinians.

I only met him on one occasion – and we had a disagreement which, thankfully, fell short of a publicly voiced argument, as I held my counsel; and which I never capitalized on afterwards for personal benefit.

My disagreement with Shimon Peres can partly be gauged when I was invited to address a B'Nai B'rith function (which has had more prominent individuals than me - such as the Israeli Ambassador) as the guest speaker.
(For security reasons and as it was a private function, I will not say here where it was held.)
I was asked a particular question after my talk to several hundred members and that was 'did I believe the Peace Process (at that time) would succeed? ' My answer was that I did not and that it would be a total failure.
It was just not sustainable with such unreliable partners as Saudi Arabia lurking in the background and the Palestinians running off to Riyadh, Baghdad and Damascus to ensure that finance would not be cut off when a final peace accord was signed with Israel.
The Saudis are one of the most untrustworthy and duplicitous of partners, for a Middle East permanent peace, you could ever hope or imagine to have.
They always were and they always will be whilst the House of Saud holds sway.
(In this world, there are usually good and bad tyrants. The House of Saud however, is just rotten to the core. Even more frustrating, given the present situation in the region, the only thing worse than the House of Saud is it's removal.)
Besides, the absence of a peace between Israel and Palestine and the concept of 'Arab renewal' in the form 'Islamic States' similar to ISIL/ISIS, keeps the minds of the Arab populace, as a whole, across North Africa and the Middle East, off democratic reform issues inside all these Muslim tyrannies (Sunni and Shia) throughout the region.

So Shimon Peres, God give him rest, never delivered on a permanent peace - for which he (falsely) accepted a Nobel Peace Prize (!) None of them -Yitzhak Rabin, Bill Clinton, Yasser Arafat, delivered permanent peace.
Just you look at the chaos and barriers of separation in the region today - with their (unresolved) political problems (and our stupid Western Christian politicians' military interventions and overthrowing Muslim regimes in Muslim lands - fueling the chaos and instabilities) are now overspilling into the whole of Europe and directly affecting political and social stability across Christendom.

The whole 'peace' process was a complete sham and farce from beginning to end, in my opinion.

Indeed I would argue that, at one level, we have ended up with the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/Daesh) and its extremist proponents as a direct result of the absence of a permanent peace process (from that failed Camp David accord) which gives security to Israel and a homeland State with secure internationally recognised borders, to the Palestinian people.

Shimon Peres was surprised (and I think a little annoyed and upset) at my 'response' to his gesture of friendship – but there were issues I could never reconcile about a peace treaty with such an unreliable partner and its even more unreliable allies.
I said so in as many words during question time (when attending members were invited to quiz me about any issues I had raised in my talk.)

We never met again. I still to this day maintain that the peace process was (and is) doomed since there was not (nor is there today) a democratic nor reliable peace partner anywhere in the region.
[Until last year, Israel has been (unwisely) treating ISIL/Daesh fighters who managed to reach the Golan Heights and 'volunteers' assisting with 'health emergencies' in Jordan and elsewhere. You didn't know this? You need to be better informed than what you see on CNN.]


In the absence of a peace process, better to say today that there exists converging interests (for oil, gas, mineral resources exploration, development and water management sustainability) between antagonists and protagonists rather than any real and genuine desire for permanent peace amongst any of the
conflicting entities.

The history books will give, as they do in all countries, the usual false account of Shimon Peres' role in the Middle East 'Peace Process' and fail to point out that this particular whole process was a complete and utter failure.
I ask you to ask yourself: where is the peace for which Mr Peres received his Nobel Peace Prize?
(Indeed where is 'the peace' for which President Obama received his Nobel Peace Prize?)
Such is the planet we live on (!)


Perhaps it's just me. I probably have a few defective brain cells and genes - so the 'traditional' industrial mass populace media 'brainwashing' to facilitate my acceptance of war=peace and peace=war, 'love is hate and hate is love' never quite succeeded down on 'the farm'1 I was tagged for processing at, as 'useable' fodder (!)

[Just to avoid any confusion, the reception I met Shimon Peres at was different from the B'nai B'rith event.     I have linked both because of the topic discussed.]

Addendum (29/09/2016)
2.The Oslo accord has been widely mentioned in the media as a 'revolutionary' development - by 'cub' reporters who known nothing about it and probably couldn't even mention to  you any of it's stipulations.   Don't believe a word of what they are telling you in the mainstream press.  If you are really interested in why it failed, you could do worse than start by reading the references which I cite below.  I didn't even bother to mention it in this blog  because it was a total failure - and to pick through it's shortcomings here would serve no useful purpose.  PE

Film Of the Year

13 Hours – The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi





''You can't put a price on being able to live with yourself''

This is a story about the efforts of military personnel, diplomatic staff and private contractors to protect an impossible CIA 'ghost' location (covert base) - given the meagre human resources which they were allocated.
Once you start applying the commercial market to safety and security lives are at inevitably risk. We saw this in the supply of equipment to allied forces in Afghanistan, Iraq and in the low-resourcing of protection teams, assets, and likewise the paucity of resources allocated for the protection of Ambassador Chris Stevens in Libya.
(Interestingly, the film obliquely blames Ambassador Stevens himself for the low security detail allocated. You need to read the Official Reports – which you will find at this blogsite – and then decide this matter for yourself. I have read all the Official released reports and have my own view on this issue.)
Ambassador Stevens was brutally butchered by ISIL-affiliated militias during this U.S. compound siege in Benghazi.
You may well conclude the following after both watching this film THEN reading the Official Reports on Benghazi at this blogsite:
When former heads of State are imprisoned or murdered by new tyrants – to our applause - and Ambassadors are getting murdered;when military rescue teams don't know whether they are coming or going, you can pretty much assume a dramatic failure in the process of delegated political leadership from the very top of the political (and military) command chain.

You also need to appreciate that what happened to the protection team during the compound siege at Benghazi was probably at least 5 times worse that this sanitized and dramatized version.

13 Hours – The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi:

Don't Believe What They Teach You In Diplomatic School!
Don't ever forget during your lifetime that when you see any embassy of any country being burnt to the ground anywhere in the world and its Staff being dragged out and butchered like animals in a slaughterhouse, apart from the obvious protective security failure, this always represents, a total and abysmal failure of both politics and diplomacy.
(I saw my first embassy being burnt to the ground before I reached the age of sixteen – I was standing no more than a few hundred feet away - amongst a very very angry, distraught and maddening crowd, many swept away in the group - and tribal - hysteria of the moment  - and have seen 2 Ambassadors I met personally (one for a courtesy NATO-Atlantic Council  delegate briefing in Turkey) brutally assassinated, and butchered, in the course of my lifetime.)

13 Hours – The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi

A depressing film - with no happy ending – but more honest to form than is usual from Hollywood .

We had no problem in Libya with Ghadafi.  Thanks to President Ronald Reagan (and to a lesser extent  also to the policies of President George Bush, Jnr.) President Moammar Gadhafi had already surrendered all his nuclear weapons research programs and was cooperating fully with all international organizations for the development of the peaceful use of nuclear technology.
His tyranny in Libya was benevolent – and his chief political prisoners were Al Qaeda and ISIL militants and their supporters (which, incidentally, we let loose on the country following his overthrow.  You didn't know that? You need to be better informed than that what you see on CNN and read in the mainstream press.)
(Perhaps, some day, one of you younger individuals reading this alternative blog will write a book or article - the truth about why Gadhafi was really overthrown?)

13 Hours – The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi

A 'must see' film should you be considering a career in the diplomatic service in any country. And should you, as luck, design or fate would have it, be at the receiving end of a difficult posting, forget the glamour of diplomatic life from bygone eras.   It only existed for the privileged few.  Throw away your notes from diplomatic school as it is unlikley they will save you when the sh*t hits the fan.    Get more uniquely (and unashamedly) 'native' and 'streetwise' for any potential extremes and challenges - and you may have a slim chance of coming back home, alive, and in one piece.
Also, not to forget : unlike what you see in the film, put not your fate nor faith in 'the Cavalry' arriving in time to save your sweet (and sorry) ass (!)

Burkini or Birthday Suit?
(CurbYourEnthusiasm)

Memoires d'un Gloire et un Siecle Disparu
I am of an age where I still can remember the Beach ('La Plage' or 'La Promenade') used to be a place most people went not to have a fight but just to wallow-up the sunshine and escape from the cares and worries of everyday life for a few hours or, if they were lucky (or kids bunking off school) for the entire day.
It was only during this time when I met up with my non-Catholic friends (Jewish and Church of England) since most of my school life was pretty regulated by convention – rugby, other sports, helping out with voluntary Catholic Aid activities such sorting stamps for sale to help the Foreign Missionaries in Africa, Asia and the Pacific. All our fund-raising was, by today's standards, of a very benign nature and all profits went to help educate Christian children and their parents in the Third World.
Mind you, I now appreciate that it was not every child who 'volunteered' his time on Saturdays or Sunday afternoons, after Mass, for such selfless activities. I think those of us volunteering might have got, as 'thank you' from the Marist Priests running the Program, a mug of tea and a few 'Marietta' biscuits. But that was not why we volunteered. It was something about helping those less fortunate than ourselves. That was what it was really all about. I don't see this kind of enthusiasm today - with children all wrapped up and consumed in their digital gagets and their world of cyberspace, with little time for anyone but themselves and their personal needs.

Leper!
Not too long ago I was travelling on an Arab Airline.
You know what it's like with everyone trying to get past you to get to their seat.
Several women wearing Burkas were in front of me and taking an inordinate amount of time to sort themselves out. I needed to pass to get to my seat – with at least 20 people behind me anxious to move.
As I attempted to pass one Burka-clad woman intervened and started screaming something to the effect that there should be 'empty space' between me and 'them' (women wearing burkas) – a totally impractical situation along the aisle of 'Economy' class. The plane was not even a 'Dreamliner' but a bog-standard 747 or something of the like.
With me in my shorts and tee-shirt and general 'Western' appearance, they felt that I was attired improperly (immodestly?) and, as a male, that I should not be standing so close to them. Fortunately a member of the Cabin Staff (Muslim, I think) intervened and told them in Arabic they were behaving stupidly and they should get out of the way and let me and others continue on to our seats further down the plane as they were the cause of this delay and not myself or the passengers anxiously standing behind me.
Stand Your Ground!
It strikes me that this issue of Burkinis on beaches represents an activist minority of individuals who have take their cues from militant ISIL-Al Qaeda-supporting hate-sermoned Imams who say the following , in a nutshell, to their 'flock':
'Use your wives and females to promote and advance the glory of Islam!'; ''Challenge the infidel at every opportunity. Their (secular) system is so weak (in comparison to that of theocratic Islam) that eventually it will crumble under the popular pressure we ('the Umma') exert and Islam will ultimately triumph.''
Knee-Jerk Racists
Politicians (and the populace at large) tend towards knee-jerk reactions: 'Ban The Burkini!', 'Get Them Off The Beach!' 'No Muslims Here!' 'Ban All Muslims' etc. etc. etc. Most of such reactions have racism (often violent racism) at their core and have no basis in actual reality to the issues being hotly contested - simply providing the basis for racists to vent hatreds against others whom they despise.
Indeed by introducing such measures we are actually imprisoning ourselves as we are behaving in exactly the manner which conjoins - rather than diffuses - the conflict. Such measures play perfectly into the hands of the other fanatical racists – the hate-sermoned Imams – who will use such as a justification to 'Holy Jihad' since they will twist such actions to justify why all Muslims throughout Christendom can resist such discrimination - with targeted and indiscriminate violence: (sic. A condition under which 'Holy Jihad' is justified exists when and where Muslims are prevented from exercising the practice of their faith.)
There is, actually, a very simple solution which bypasses all the hate-mongers on all sides:
The Birthday Suit Effect
Do not ban the Burkini but make Nudism perfectly acceptable on all public beaches throughout Christendom and make it a criminal offence for anyone to discriminate against nudists in any way on any public or Municipal beach.
It is then up to beach-loving Muslims as to whether they can 'tolerate' the exercise of 'freedom of choice' in a secular society or they wish to withdraw to a more private environment to exercise their democratic right to 'quiet enjoyment'.
It's not a perfect solution – but life is not perfect -and neither are the problems which we have to negotiate.

[In my own particular case it would not at all surprise me if special legislation was introduced to ensure that I remained covered-up at all times - on the grounds of public decency -as my half pot-pig beer belly might frighten the cats and dogs on beaches - and cause general mayhem and panic (!)]

An Election You May Have Missed

The British Labour (Labor) Party Leadership Election Debate
Taking Place Next Week:

*September 21st -Ballot Ends
             *September 24th - Results Announced

Owen Smith versus Jeremy Corbyn

(What the mainstream media will not tell you about it)

(If you are a Labour Party Member, exercise your right to vote!) 
I had an opportunity to share part of an afternoon's train journey with Mr Corbyn, long before he became a well-known figure in British national politics.
Apart from that, the only other time we ever met was on a BBC World Television (BBC World 'Asia Today') programme discussion about Islamic terrorism in the Southern Philippines several years previous.

What This Leadership Election Is All About – And Why Even Mr Corbyn Has To Remain 'Silent' For Fear Of Being branded 'paranoid ' or 'anti-Semitic'

[I frequently refer to such political 'silence' as corollary to 'child molestation']
Owen Smith is 'in the pocket' of 'Zionist' Jews who, up until fairly recently, have been both the most loyal backers and staunch financial supporters and patrons of both major British political parties.
Jeremy Corbyn has a long history of support of anti-Zionist (and sometimes also anti-Semitic) 'revolutionary' 'nationalist' 'freedom-struggle' political movements - from Sinn Fein (the political wing of the IRA – the Irish Republican Army) to the Palestinians to Hamas and Hezbollah.
[I need to point out that Mr Corbyn has never knowingly supported ISIS/ISIL/the Islamic State or any other similar fanatical groups in the Muslim world. Reports are that 'conspiracies' have attempted to 'entrap' Mr Corbyn to portray him as knowingly supporting extremists. When all such matters are carefully examined, we do indeed find situations of individuals actively engaged in a process (for parties unknown) to 'entrap' Mr Corbyn into utterances of support for individuals or groups about which he has had little active engagement or knowledge.]

So Smith gets his financial backing and political support from racist Zionist Jews. Corbyn gets his from racist Jew-hating Muslims and Arabs (Christian and Muslim.) Don't automatically assume that just because they are Arab Christians, that (some) do not share many of the cultural and social 'affinities' as their Arab Muslim counterparts. A perfect balance of extremes! (in my view.)

Over the Hedge!
Of course both factions of the Labour Party don't just get support from these 'lunatic' fringes – the looney left and the right – but from a wider sector of supporters (the majority) totally oblivious to the machinations of the 1% who trade pounds of flesh for control of both wings of the Party.
Remember too, I'm just talking about internal 'battles' within the British Labour Party – in case you thought I (or you!) were getting lost and confused - and I was rambling through the entire spectrum of British politics (!)

'Zack' Goldsmith from the British Conservative Party (you may recall from my previous article) was the Zionist 'Jew versus Muslim' candidate in the Mayoral election of London.
These quoted words above were not originally my own but borrowed from an article in an Israeli newspaper which I quoted from in that blog.
(You need to refer to my previous blog and the attached references about the London Mayoral Election for greater clarity.)
Who Pays The Piper?
So who then does Owen Smith answer to? The answer is, initially, informally, to the British Labour Party Zionist Jewess, Lady Margaret Hodge, a former Leader of a London Borough plagued with paedophile scandals who was accused in the mainstream media of nepotism (involving a member of her own family) in order to prevent full and open disclosure about known sex crimes against children in care by her senior staff and political figures for decades in the London Borough which she controlled. (I have covered this in a previous blog with controversial references you will never find in the mainstream British press.)

How about Corbyn? Well he answers to so many 'proletariat' groups on the left ('Socialist democracy' I think they call it)
that it would fill pages. Lets just say that he does not answer to any secret shadowy factions nor to any groups with direct links to foreign governments which present the potential capability of undermining our democratic system and ways of life. (In much the same way as 'Russia Today' (RT) Television Network, on behalf of Mr Putin, has decided to use it's potential reach to influence the outcome of the American General Election.)

Who Pays 'The Lady?'
Something I did not touch on before about 'Lady' Hodge is the means whereby she 'acquired' her 'title'.
In essence she contractually bought it from a financially 'ailing' individual – she bailed him out with her money - and they married – or maybe it was the other way round (!)
Nothing wrong here. No laws broken (as they might say.)
But it's just an observation the mainstream media will actively conspire to conceal from you within the British Isles.

If you think that was the interesting part of this blog, your far off the mark.

Lady Margaret Hodge, Madeleine McCann and The Blairs
You may recall that I have covered the issue of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in some detail.
Again, Lady Margaret Hodge's footprint appears in this (once) exclusive Portuguese holiday resort of Praia da Luz at the time of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
This time it is another close relative whose private airplane took off from Praia da Luz within hours of the disappearance of the child Madeleine McCann. This plane was never forensically examined when it arrived at it's final destination (Switzerland.)
[At the time I wrote the blog and associated references it was not then revealed that Praia da Luz was an area frequented by known prominent and influential British Labour Party supporters who have now been identified and named by the British Police as paedophiles.]
There is no explanation (nor has there ever been questions asked, to the best of my knowledge, of the Swiss Government) as to why a private aeroplane with Swiss nationals on board, taking off from a major crime scene, in the era after 9/11, was not immediately seized, impounded and forensically examined on arrival in Switzerland, considering the national and international alert for the missing child already in place.
In the light of any such event taking place after 9/11 (and the possibility of a terrorist attack) it seems quite remarkable that the Swiss authorities would not immediately initiate the suspension and grounding of this aircraft and its removal for a thorough examination before release. To the best of my knowledge, this never happened.

To understand why the British public have been denied the full facts about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, you need to read my previous blogs (and follow up the detailed references) to better appreciate the (alleged) cover-up, and more importantly, the (alleged) British political reputations the cover-ups are in place to protect.

So there you have it. Jeremy Corbyn versus Owen Smith.
Both battling it out for the position of leader of the British Labour Party. One supported by a Zionist faction the other by Muslims, Arabs, Palestinians and their supporters within the British Labour Party.

If I was a 'normal' moderate Labour Party member and aware of all this nonsense, I might even consider joining an alternative political party - with less 'baggage' - than both of the existing incumbents.


Journey's End

Only fairly recently (this year to be exact!) have the British mainstream press started to move just slightly away from the McCann's narrative – and that shift is more intended to protect the McCann's existing position than explore any other (alternative) evidence - which always existed – and which you can find in the reference sections of my previous blogs - about this unsolved disappearance.


D.C.
*there is another incident I am aware of but will not go into detail. It involved how Mossad agents were able at ease to enter and leave Ireland from Dublin airport.
Likewise an airport was involved. In this instance, I believe, all the relevant parties are (privately) aware of how this happened.
Since their 'mission' was of benefit to the security of the West as it was to Israel, it is in a slightly different category.
The reason I bring it up is that often extremist Zionist supporters, in governmental and quasi-governmental positions of influence, confuse political and criminal acts, out of loyalty, as equating, which they most certainly, in my opinion, do not.

Donald Trump Calls On The FSB To Assassinate Hillary Rodham Clinton



This is probably the only thing which Mr Trump has not yet asked a foreign hostile superpower to undertake on his behalf in order to secure the U.S. Presidency.


TOTAL RECALL

In my opinion, apart from the issue of treason ( a very real issue in it's own right) there should be a recall process in place in order to prevent any candidate (or demagogue) in any democracy calling in a foreign power to commit an act of espionage against a rival U.S. Presidential candidate - as Donald Trump has called on Mr Vladimir Putin to assist him secure the Office of President of The United States.

For a candidate in any democratic country to 'call in'  a hostile foreign power to do his or her bidding - be in in the provision of intelligence, personnel, assassins or 'agent provocateurs' during an election campaign (let alone at any other time) is an act of treason.
No democracy can properly function where is is being undermined both by it's own elected official at homes - and in league with foreign hostile superpowers - and being undermined through a process of infiltration and espionage from abroad (the FSB and their hacking of U.S. government officials private and official computers - in order to undermine the democratic institutions of  our open democratic societies.)
Calling on hostile powers to provide other services - be they assassins or other personnel to subvert rivals is just one very short step from where Mr Trump currently exists.
This is just not acceptable and far beyond the Pale of all acceptable norms to achieve the highest Office with the responsibilities for security not just of the United States but also of the free world from the tyrannical forces just waiting for such a President 'to work with' in order to subvert the democratic world from within.


It is unprecedented that any U.S. presidential candidate would accuse a rival's family (Ted Cruz) of being implicitly guilty of the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, or ask the Russian FSB to perform an act of sabotage within the United States in order to further his own political ends - yet this is exactly what Mr Donald Trump has encouraged and pleaded from the tyrannical superpower rival of the United States, the most evil regime in the world, headed by a dictator and tyrant, Vladimir Putin, to undertake in order to defeat Hillary Rodham Clinton.


Be Careful What You Wish For (!)
If they cannot see exactly the kind of demagogue they are electing or if their hatred is so blind that they would rather America turns into North Korea or The Russian Federation - both countries ruled by tyrants who have no time for democracy - then they too are also blind to the existing pre-eminence of the United States as the world's greatest and most dynamic democracy and superpower on this planet.

Isolationism
There is no doubt that, as during the time of the rise of Adolf Hitler, there is desire by a minority of extremists who would like to see America isolationist and to regain it's 'pure' 'national identity'. 

This in itself is something of an illusion - but a very powerful exhortation to be manipulated by any tyrant or dictator - especially pandering to  extreme nationalists and racists.

Why We Should Be Speaking Mandarin or Cantonese Today
(Decline and Fall of An Empire)

I would like to relate a short informal discussion which I recently had with a number of individuals 
I say informal because that's exactly the setting we were all in - an informal setting where we could just have a heart-to-heart- chat.

I reminded our gathering that about 200 years before Christopher Columbus, Imperial China has assembled the greatest fleet ever to sail the China (and South China) seas.  This Treasure Fleet (The Great Treasure Fleet) was tasked with spreading the influence of The Empire - and is today the reason we see thriving Chinese communities in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, The Malacca Straits.   This Great Treasure Fleet reached as far as Ceylon ('Sri'  Lanka  - 'Blessed' Land) and Zanzibar - and a small community which can trace it's origin to China still exists here even today.
The ships were at least two and a half times bigger than those of Christopher Columbus - yet sailed from China to the shores of Africa, Arabia, Yemen, two hundred years earlier.
If this expansion had continued, today, I have no doubt, that the empire of China would easily have reached America at least 200 years before Columbus - and that we would all be speaking Cantonese and Mandarin, instead of English, today.
What halted this great expansion was the rise of fascism (Nazism) within China: Confucius and Confucianism.
'China for the Chinese' 'A pure China' 'Only pure Chinese Blood qualifies to be Chinese' 'All foreigners are to be regarded as hostile.'  These were the slogans which progressed China into an era of fascism and  extreme neo-nationalism.
Confucianism became very popular - and Chinese expansionism halted - since incorporating foreigners within the Empire was 'unpatriotic'.
(I should mention that aboard the Treasure Fleet were girls and women of royal lineage to be married into 'conquered' territories - but their children would also have claim on the Royal throne by virtue of birth - another reason the Chinese fascists and neo-nationalists opposed incorporation of foreign lands - and permanently blotted out from the royal records any mention of these girls and women as nothing other than 'prostitutes' and 'imposters' to be married off to foreign leaders and royal households 'in deceit' rather than what they really were - persons of royal lineage.)
Two hundred years later Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand financed expeditions by Christopher Columbus to seek new territories, new wealth and a new pathway to the riches of the Orient for Christendom.    The rest you know.
But for this quirk of history we would all, no doubt, be speaking Cantonese and Mandarin today, with China, as the pre-eminent superpower on the planet.

I hope and pray that Americans do not elect a President in the Fall who would, in a heartbeat, sell to the highest bidder, all our cherished values, as much out of vanity as out  of demagoguery and the desire for eternal  personal tyranny.

Bastille Day 2016

Massacre On The Promenade des Anglais:

'Congress Should Declare War'
 (Donald Trump)

[Je Suis......ISIL]

In what I regard as only too typical of Islamc State-inspired evil, yet another despicable act of inhumanity has been committed - purportedly in the name of Islam, in Nice, on Bastille Day.

To capture the political moment, a most incredibly naive statement has been made by the (presumptive) Republican Candidate for the U.S. Presidency in the fall, Donald Trump:
''Congress Should Declare War''

''Je Suis ........''

You simply cannot declare war on non-state actors - international terrorists - who operate globally with no central HQ and where the command structure is so diversified that any (temporarily or chronically) deranged person, with any grudge against society, a local community, set of individuals or individual, and on such premise, in the name of Islam under the banner of ''Je Suis ISIL'' (on this occasion) declares war on his/her next door neighbors, jumps over the garden fence and machine-guns everyone at a childrens' garden party.  [I am being blunt in the most extreme to clarify the message loud and clear.]
However expect such naive statements to appear over the coming days, weeks and months as the sheer exasperation of how to respond becomes evident from politicians - and those seeking political offices - wallowing in the blood and on the backs of human tragedy to serve their very own ultimate political goals.
This is the unfortunate naked truth we are facing - but don't expect the politicians to ever tell you that truth.

Is There Any Solution?

Increased Vigilance
The short-term solutions are increasing vigilance - but certainly not mass 'stop and searches' or 'mass incarcerations' of Muslims - this would be playing into the hands of a very evil entity which would like to move the world into the ISIS-philosophical state of all-out-war:Islam v the Infidels, worldwide.

Destruction of The State-Inspired Backer-The Islamic State or Caliphate
President Obama had not got the motivation to do it - he confused the destruction of the Islamic Caliphate with the destruction of Assad's Syria for ulterior political reasons.   President Putin, likewise for political reasons, stopped short of 'finishing off' the Islamic State - and  whose efforts were not helped by the U.S. (Obama Administration) openly refusing military cooperation with Russia - point blank - for this one critical mission.

Regulation Of Mosques and Islamic Centers
For years I have been looked at with some scepticism when I would say that more (proactive) efforts need to have been made to address the issue of how Al Qaeda/ Islamic State supporters have, even since before 9/11 'infiltrated' perfectly decent organizations and may be (silently) using them to 'promote' 'Islamic' agendas.  The 'appearance' of Al Qaeda and subsequently ISIL were merely a consolidation of a 'thought process' of a very small extremist intelligensia within the Muslim religion. This is an issue completely off the radar screens of politicians (dare I say, some as as ignorant as 'fatboy' Boris - see my earlier blog where former London Mayor Johnson racially slurred President Obama during his visit to the United Kingdom to wish Her Majesty, The Queen of England, a happy 90th birthday) - since they fail to appreciate that such events are not 'instant' but part of more longer term processes which have backgrounds stretching over decades of discussion and debate - facilitated by modern technology.
(Johnsons' jealousy of Donald Trump's successes, as a businessman, is also evident in his disparaging comments about the Republican Party's  candidate for the presidency.)

Increased Security
Certainly this is always possible for certain sites but, as we all know, you cannot offer protection for absolutely every institution, school, restaurant, shopping mall or other local community resource worldwide.
So Donald Trump's idea of a 'declaration of war' is simply not feasible for a non-state actor or entities which operate on the basis of sub-contracting and exhorting followers and individuals worldwide to kill or neutralize 'the Infidel' by any and every means available.
Even tomorrow should the Islamic Caliphate be eliminated as a functioning state, its 'supporters' (those who share the philosophical ideals of the 'perfect' Islamic world) will continue to exist and it may take just a very small event to 'trigger' an act which would be defined as 'terrorist' - thereby providing every opportunistic politician with the excuse for increasing totalitarian measures - be they fiscal ('fishing expeditions') restrictive of civil liberties, emergency anti-terrorist measures,all designed to 'consolidate' the power of the State in opposition to civil liberties.
So the 'bogeyman' of ISIL will exist long after a political decision is (some day) taken (and implemented) to eliminate the entity (Caliphate) as it has existed for two years, simply because it provides politicians with 'expedient' opportunities to effect the policies and technologies of political and social controls in every country throughout the world.
Sadly such exhortations will resonate  positively with very angry, confused and (some) bigoted voters in the U.S. Presidential election in the Fall - anxious as they all will be for 'instant' problem solvers for what are complex and long-term problems.
ISIL is fully aware of this - which is why the Islamic State would 'welcome' the election of a President Donald Trump - as his bigoted thinking is totally in line with the demarcation and hatred they would desire to create - hastening the day of the ultimate conflict where Islam and Christianity are finally at war across this planet - and  the 'Angels' of Islam will achieve a victorious battle against the Infidel (Satan)  before the final 'Kingdom' of Allah - as 'prophesized' in their versions (and mistranslations) of  Koranic scripture can be built worldwide, after the Devil (Satan - the Infidel-) and all it's structures of idolatry have been destroyed and erased from existence.
As they perceive the world, a President Donald Trump, by his nature and character, would, by his actions, more assist to bring this day closer than any other U.S. presidential candidate.

The fact of the matter is that such problems have no instant solutions - but do not expect Donald Trump to tell you that - since his appeal is to 'gut instinct', bigotry, divisive and insular communities rather than what is best for the nation, as a whole.

Our sympathies go out to the victims and families of such terrible (and quite evil - by most known standards of  insurgency) events as those occurring on the Promenade des Anglais, Nice, on  Bastille Day, the most espoused political day of the French social calendar, we must never lose sight of our humanity nor efforts to solve the core political and human rights issues which provide part of the motivations and background for such fanatics to draw support from,worldwide.
(I would add that support can come from committed religious as well as non-religious individuals and groups, all drawn together under the banner or slogan of ISIL - or it's future 'morphed' entity - as much out of local, national or international 'grievances'.)

'Off the Radar'
While increased vigilance and common sense should always be the order of the day, there is no total defense nor solutions against mental illness - nor a lone individual, group or non-state actors nor insurgents espousing  causes, however demented or deranged, which will produce carnage and horrors, neither now nor in the future.
