Jihadists in Syria fall into the Saudi trap

In August of 2015, General Anwar Eshki gave an amazing interview to the Wall Street Journal. A former Saudi National Security Adviser, Eshki laid out in plain language what would happen in the Middle East. The Saudis had prepared a trap for the Islamic State; what nobody knew at the time was that this strategy…

Prediction: Peace between Sunni and Shi’ite Muslims

My gut told me that something extraordinary was happening in Syria. It took me weeks to find the evidence. I’m now convinced that I’m right, so my prediction is that Sunni and Shi’ite Muslims will make peace within the next five years. A prediction based on fact I found video of something that I won’t…

Blather, symbolism, weakness, denial, and irresponsibility

What’s the main response to the Islamic State bombings in Brussels, Belgium, that killed 31? Blather. Some of it is astonishing. This neatly illustrates the collapse of western culture. A hashtag—#StopIslam—is worse than this. A steel bolt embedded in a person’s body. The terrorists at Zaventem International Airport put bolts in their suitcase bombs. Someone…

Cutting the Gordian knot of Syria is beyond OUR power

The Gordian knot is a legend from antiquity used to symbolize what seems like an insoluble program. Gordias the peasant was made king of the Phrygians; his son Midas dedicated Gordias’s ox-cart to the Phrygian god Sabazios and tied it to a post with an intricate knot of cornel bark. In 333 BCE, Alexander the…

Actions are what counts. We can trust the Saudis

Someone asked if the world can trust the Saudis. Well, their actions prove to me that they’re 100 percent trustworthy. Saudi Arabia is in the midst of one of history’s greatest and fastest transformations. If I had my way, everyone would concentrate on the huge accomplishments and ignore the rest. I believe I know what…

Attack on Trump was an Islamic State dry run

Today the Islamic State tested Donald Trump’s security and found vulnerabilities. Thomas DiMassimo’s attack on Trump was a dry run. There’s absolutely no doubt. DiMassimo has deleted his social-media presence, but he’s one of these “transracial” lunatics who identifies as black. Specifically, he’s in love with dead, black hip-hop stars. This is Tupac Shakur. Thomas…

Winning wars requires that we fight like the Arab League

Western powers don’t accept that journalism has transformed itself into advocacy for decay. The old dictum “If it bleeds, it leads” was meant to sell copies of newspapers, attract eyeballs to screens, and bewitch ears with radio stations. Now, journalists are opponents of progress. Rather than report, they choose to be propagandists for malefactors. It’s…

Masters of chaos are unleashing total havoc in Syria

The writer Linda Robinson wrote an excellent book that I highly recommend. Masters of Chaos: The Secret History of the Special Forces specifically addresses the US Army Green Berets during Operation Iraqi Freedom, but it applies to all unconventional warriors. I can’t tell you when the Arab League and its allies began wide-scale operations in…

Russian war plan for Syria explained. It’s already a failure

This piece describes the Russian war plan for Syria, even though author Jamie Dettmer is wrong about fortunes being reversed. The overall strategy — to crush the more moderate armed factions in the opposition, leaving the extremists — is straight out of the Chechnya playbook, say military analysts. So too are the scorched-earth indiscriminate tactics…

Ground invasion of Syria: Did it begin today?

Most people love bad news. They also love to be afraid. I spent most of my life being disappointed, angry, and fearful, so I’m grateful for every scrap of improvement that I see around me. I think the Muslim Anti-Terror Coalition ground invasion of Syria began today, which is very good news. It means the…
