    Obama Won't Read Intelligence on Groups He Doesn't Consider 'Terrorists'
    Nov 18, 2015

    Emmy-winning television journalist Sharyl Attkisson told Newsmax TV on Wednesday that her sources say that President Barack Obama does not read intelligence reports from his staff on jihadist groups that he does not consider terrorists.

    "I have talked to people who have worked in the Obama administration who firmly believe he has made up his mind — closed his mind, they say — to their intelligence that they've tried to bring him about various groups that he does not consider terrorists, even if they are on the U.S. list of designated terrorists," Attkisson told "The Steve Malzberg Show" in an interview.

    "He has his own ideas, and there are those who've known him a long time who say this dates back to law school," she said. "He does not necessarily listen to the people with whom he disagrees."

    "He seems to dig in — and why I would suppose is because he thinks he's right. He is facing formidable opposition on this particular point."

    Attkisson said the sources could not explain Obama's reasoning for his approach to terrorism intelligence. "I've only been told by those who have allegedly attempted to present him, or have been in the circle that has attempted to present him, with certain intelligence that they said he doesn't want it," she told Malzberg. "He said he doesn't want it or he won't read it, in some instances."

    Attkisson is the former CBS News investigative reporter who now hosts the syndicated news-magazine program, "Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson."

    This week's show features a report on the fifth anniversary of the Arab Spring and the widespread surveillance failures that have given rise to the Islamic State and "this horrible terrorism winter and how many people saw this coming."

    Her crew was filming in Beirut when the twin blasts occurred that killed 43 people and injured 239 others the day before the Paris assaults.

    "There were intelligence folks on the ground at the time who were warning of this, but the administration I guess was on a different path," Attkisson told Malzberg. "We were working on that story — and we thought Lebanon was a good place to be and the Beirut attacks happened."

    "Two suicide bombers killed a lot of people. That was the day before the president said ISIS was contained and these are ISIS attacks."

    "People said, 'Oh, he said that ISIS was contained' just before the Paris bombings, but also just after the Beirut attacks, which ISIS also claimed credit for," she said.

    Just a refresher in History .....................
    Islam began with the killing of unbelievers right from the start.
    For the first century of its existence, Islam was absolutely soaked in blood. The killing only slowed down as the Islamic empire finally ran into boundaries in the 8th century, after about a century of expansionist, imperialist, unprovoked Islamic aggression.
    Even after the initial expansion slowed, the killings did not end. Slaughter (jihad) and oppression (sharia) are part of the core doctrines of Islam. Killing for Islam is not a modern idea, and it will never end until some sort of reformation takes place within the religion. .

    For many years now, Islam has been the most violent religion in the world.

    "The bodies of slaughtered Parisians were still unburied when our president, the leader of the most powerful country in history, beclowned himself on the world stage. In Turkey Obama gave a speech that surpassed even his long record of narcissistic petulance and juvenile snark. What we are witnessing is a willful destruction of America’s prestige and authority unprecedented in our history. It’s a sad day when the President of the United States makes a milquetoast French socialist like François Hollande sound like George S. Patton.

    A jihadist organization, the most prominent of a metastasizing global movement, had just murdered 129 Europeans in the worst attack since the Madrid train-bombings of 2005. But for Obama, this was a “setback.” This tin-eared word choice came from an alleged silver-tongued orator. But lack of oratorical skill is not the cause of his gaffe, but rather Obama’s need to maintain the narrative of success he had peddled for months. Rather than acknowledge the wages of his disastrous foreign policy of appeasement and retreat, he had tried to dismiss ISIS as a “jayvee” team that had been “contained.” Of course, ISIS was spawned by his precipitate withdrawal from Iraq, reliance on “redline” bluster in Syria, and groveling concessions to Iran.

    Obama Threatens US Intelligence and Military If They Don’t Tell Him What He Wants to Hear

    by S. Noble • November 17, 2015

    Barack Obama is pretending his ISIS “strategy” is working even though we can all clearly see that it isn’t.

    The President said during his ISIS presser that he vigorously rejected the idea that he should go further with his war against ISIS, dismissing critics who were playing “political games” or offering “shallow solutions”. He said he’s getting advice from the greatest military minds.

    “And keep in mind that we have the finest military in the world and we have the finest military minds in the world, and I’ve been meeting with them intensively for years now, discussing these various options, and it is not just my view but the view of my closest military and civilian advisors that that would be a mistake [to have boots on the ground] — not because our military could not march into Mosul or Raqqa or Ramadi and temporarily clear out ISIL, but because we would see a repetition of what we’ve seen before…”
    But in fact, advisors either tell him what he wants to hear or they could face losing their livelihoods.

    More than 50 intelligence analysts have confirmed that their work has been altered to say the war against ISIS is more successful than it is.

    The President has been warned repeatedly about ISIS by US intelligence, but Obama and his minions have created a “fantasy world” that doesn’t allow for any truth they disagree with.

    Former CIA operative, Joshua Katz said the truth about ISIS has been routinely forged and anyone who bucks them is threatened. People who disagree or who are whistleblowers are punished. It’s been constant since the beginning of this administration.

    Katz said a lot of people want to come forward but they’re afraid.

    I think Kim Jong Un did the same thing.



    General Anthony Tata said senior military are outraged by what is going on. The President is so thin-skinned he can’t listen to constructive feedback. If you go to him with an unpopular proposal, he’ll kick you to the curb.

    There is a “culture of fear” at the senior levels.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gf5p...layer_embedded

    Obama said that what is going on is we are trying to treat ISIS like a state. However, they are a state, but that’s more of the fantasy world.

    Tata said it’s irrelevant in any case. You still have to fight them in the same way, develop a plan, and that is what Barack should be doing.

    Watch:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XApu...layer_embedded

    Even the left knows ISIS is a state. Daily Beast editor Michael Weiss gave an interview in 2014 and again recently in which he said they are a state as one example. As an aside, Weiss mentioned they have “free” healthcare and social services. Yippee!

    This is Barack Obama’s modus operandi. He rules alone. His attacks on the press have also been ongoing and have created a climate of fear.

    Barack Obama said during a speech at Georgetown in May that we’re going to have to change how our body politic thinks, indicating that Republican leaders were the ones needing changing. He also said, we’re going to have to change how the media reports on these issues, specifically referring to Fox News at the time.

    Barack will never be the one who needs changing. It will always be those who disagree with him.

    Signs of how Obama thinks about dissent and free speech were evident in a bill he tried to get passed in 2007. The bill would make lying a federal crime if it concerned politics around election time and it was aimed at Republicans for an alleged “deceitful” flyer.

    In 2007, then-Senator Barack Obama and Senator Chuck Schumer introduced S. 453, the Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act of 2007, a bill which was reintroduced in 2009 by Sen. Conyers and then again in 2011 by Senators Schumer and Cardin.

    It had a clause that distinguished it. The bill criminalized misinformation about date, place, time of elections and eligibility to vote. A mistake could be misconstrued as a criminal lie. It essentially made lying a federal crime punishable by a $100,000 fine and up to five years imprisonment.

    The bill could be weaponized against political opponents. Almost anyone could make the complaint and the DOJ would make the decision to prosecute.

    Whether the flier was deceitful or not is irrelevant. Criminalizing alleged lies on political fliers is thought policing.

    How would the DOJ define “intent”? Who decides it’s a lie or a mistake?

    It’s one of the many clues we have gotten into the character and intent of Barack Obama. He believes in controlling free speech unless he agrees with it. He has made that clear.

    His denial of powers to Inspector Generals and his perversion of the Freedom of Information Act are proven examples.

    In March, the AP obtained government emails to determine who pays for Michelle Obama’s expensive dresses. The National Archives and Records Administration blacked out one sentence on every page claiming the part of the law that allows shielding of personal information such as a Social Security number. They forgot to black out the sentence on one page and it said, “We live in constant fear of upsetting the WH [White House].”

    This has been going on for years but grew into a far worse problem in 2009 with a simple presidential memorandum.

    The White House memo of April 15, 2009, cited “White House Equities” – Presidential Privilege – to give itself the power to censor any FOIA requests that might contain “White House equities” — essentially any information involving or referencing communications with the White House — without first clearing it with presidential attorneys. Anything embarrassing is certainly included.

    The vagueness of “White House equities” allows them to frighten agencies into releasing nothing and passing everything imaginable by them for approval like they do in Third World countries.

    The examples could fill a book. Everything Obama promised about honesty, transparency and openness is a lie.

    "Get Out Of Your Trucks And Run Away": US Gives ISIS 45 Minute Warning On Oil Tanker Strikes

    Last week, in the wake of Russian and US airstrikes on ISIS oil convoys, we asked three important questions:
    1. 1.Who are the commodity trading firms that have been so generously buying millions of smuggled oil barrels procured by the Islamic State at massive discounts to market, and then reselling them to other interested parties? In other words, who are the middlemen?
    2. 2.Can it possibly be true, as officials now claim, that the Obama administration refrained from bombing Islamic State oil trucks because Washington thought the group was “only” making $100 million per year instead of $400 million?
    3. 3.Is it likely, considering how cavalier the US is about collateral damage from drone strikes, that The Pentagon refused to take out Islamic State’s revenue stream because the military was afraid of killing a few “innocent” truck drivers who by definition knew they were transporting illegal crude for a terrorist organization?


    The first question is, for now anyway, unanswerable. As to the second and third, here’s what we said:

    Perhaps the US overestimated the effect its airstrikes were having on Islamic State’s oil production capabilities and perhaps The Pentagon was concerned with killing innocent truck drivers, but it could also be that, as Sergei Lavrov suggested earlier this month, the US has until now intentionally avoided hitting ISIS where it hurts in order to keep them in the game and ensure they can still be effective at destabilizing Assad. If you cut off the oil trade, they lose the ability to battle the regime.

    Whatever the case, it's too late now, because just as Russian airstrikes and the Iranian ground presence forced the US to do something - anything - to prove to the world that America is serious about fighting terrorism, Moscow's targeting of ISIS oil convoys has forced the US to get on board (the Russians are going to hit them anyway, so there's no point in vacillating).

    American airstrikes reportedly destroyed 116 oil tanker trucks earlier this month and another 280 today in Paris mastermind Abdelhamid Abaaoud's former fiefdom of Deir ez-Zor.

    Of course the US would hate to [s]catch ISIS off guard[/s] risk killing innocent truck drivers, so prior to the November 16 strike, US planes dropped leaflets warning the drivers to "get out of your trucks now, and run away from them." Here's the leaflet (note the stick figures running for their lives):



    Here's some commentary from Colonel Steve Warren from Operation Inherent Resolve (delivered at a press conference earlier this month):

    Early Sunday morning in Al-Bukamal, which is the southern blue circle number two, you see two blue circles there. They both represent Tidal Wave II operations, but we're in the southern one -- the one further towards the bottom of your screen, there.

    In Al-Bukamal, we destroyed 116 tanker trucks, which we believe will reduce ISIL's ability to transport its stolen oil products.

    This is our first strike against tanker trucks, and to minimize risks to civilians, we conducted a leaflet drop prior to the strike. We did a show of force, by -- we had aircraft essentially buzz the trucks at low altitude.

    So, I do have copy of the leaflet, and I have got some videos, so why don't you pull the leaflet up. Let me take a look at it so I can talk about it.

    As you can see, it's a fairly simple leaflet, it says, "Get out of your trucks now, and run away from them." A very simple message.

    And then, also, "Warning: airstrikes are coming. Oil trucks will be destroyed. Get away from your oil trucks immediately. Do not risk your life."
    And so, these are the leaflets that we dropped -- about 45 minutes before the airstrikes actually began.


    And here's an amusing bit from the post-presser Q&A:

    Q: On Bob's question, too, if -- if it's so important to cut off the oil shipments, the critical revenue source for ISIS, why did it take so long to take out 116 oil tanker trucks?

    COL. WARREN: No, that's a great question, Jim. Thanks for asking it.

    So, a little history on Operation Tidal Wave II. Initially, we, you know, we have been striking oil infrastructure targets since the very beginning of this operation.

    What we found out was that many of our strikes were only minimally effective. We would strike pieces of the oil infrastructure that were easily repaired.

    When we came to that realization, we conducted some more study -- I think I talked about this last week, a little bit -- we conducted some more study, and determined how to better strike the oil infrastructure itself, different pieces of the system.

    During the course of that study, we also determined that part of the illicit oil system, from the oil coming out of the ground at a -- at a pump head, to the end of that chain, which is the distribution network.

    So, this is a decision that we had to make. We have not struck these trucks before. We assessed that these trucks, while although they are being used for operations that support ISIL, the truck drivers, themselves, probably not members of ISIL; they're probably just civilians. So we had to figure out a way around that. We're not in this business to kill civilians, we're in this business to stop ISIL -- to defeat ISIL.


    So basically, it took the US 13 months to figure out that the best way to cripple Islamic State's oil trade was to bomb - the oil.

    To the extent that occurred to anyone previously, the idea was dismissed because the truck drivers are "probably not members of ISIL." Well then who are they? Sure, they may not be suiting up in all black and firing RPGs at Toyota Corollas packed with "spies" for a propaganda video, but it's not like they don't know who they're working for.

    Also, as mentioned above, the US hasn't exactly been shy about engaging targets even when there are women, children, and bedridden hospital patients in the vicinity so it's hard to imagine that anyone at the Pentagon was worried about Islamic State's truck drivers.

    Whatever the case, the US is apprently set to give ISIS a 45 minute heads up when The Pentagon plans to bomb an oil convoy which we suppose makes sense.

    President Putin: By Shooting Down Our Fighter Jet Turkey Practically Declared War on Russia,
    Turkish Dictator Erdoğan Is an Accomplice in ISIS Crimes

    24 November 2015

    According to Moscow Times, the Russian President Vladimir Putin held an emergency cabinet meeting in Kremlin to evaluate the implications of the downing of a Russian Su-24 fighter jet near the Syrian-Turkish border area.

    “…Today they practically declared war on us by shooting down our fighter jet. Our patience wears thin with Erdoğan and his criminal clique who is accomplice in all atrocities committed by ISIS terrorist. To avoid a bitter war which nobody craves, for several times, I told Americans to muzzle their rabid dog in Turkey,” Russian News Agency TASS cited the Russian President as saying.

    “I was informed that Turks have shot down a Russian aircraft on the border with Syria and reportedly the navigator has been killed; my deepest condolences to his family and the Great Russian nation,” said Mr. Putin vowing that the ‘revenge’ is what the Turkish dictator will receive in return.

    We are indeed on the verge of an all-out war with the godfather of all terrorists in one of the extremely volatile areas in the world, added Mr. Putin, we worked diligently to solve the Syrian crisis through diplomatic means, but much to the international community’s chagrin, the Turkish AK Parti-led regime under Erdoğan seeks to ignite the fires of war.

    Russia’s defence ministry, in a series of tweets, confirmed a Russian Su-24 had been shot down, but insisted the plane had never left Syrian airspace and claimed that fire from the ground was responsible. “At all times, the Su-24 was exclusively over the territory of Syria,” the defence ministry said.

    “The Su-24 was at 6,000 metres and preliminary information suggests it was brought down by fire from the ground. The circumstances are being investigated.”

    Tensions between Turkey and Russia have risen over Moscow’s bombing campaign against Islamist rebels close to the Turkish border. Turkey has repeatedly expressed concern over the attacks on the Islamic State positions.

    What Turkey did this morning may have just sparked the next World War

    Written by Allen West on November 24, 2015

    For those who know history, recall how we stumbled into World War I after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, Sophie Duchess of Hohenberg, by Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip, June 28, 1914. The subsequent series of events led to what would become known as the “war to end all wars,” World War I. And of course, it would be easy to assess that the ending of World War I set the conditions for World War II, knowing that the major antagonists, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, both fought in the precursor.

    And now, as we sit back and watch the disintegrating situation in the Middle East, we must begin to ask, are we close to a World War IV? (OK, I consider the Cold War World War III; it was not fought by the major adversaries, but instead fought globally by proxy, from Korea to Vietnam to Africa to Central America to Afghanistan, between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.)

    The recent downing of a Russian fighter bomber could be the spark igniting a new global conflagration.

    As reported by Fox News:

    Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that Turkey’s decision to shoot down a Russian warplane near Turkey’s border with Syria is a “stab in the back” and it would have “significant consequences” for its relations with Turkey, as NATO called an emergency meeting over the incident.

    Putin said the Russian Sukhoi-24 jet was shot by a missile from a Turkish jet over Syria about just over a half-mile away from the Turkish border, which he described as a “stab in the back by the terrorists’ accomplices.” Turkey said it warned the jet several times that it was in its airspace.

    Putin was meeting with Jordanian King Abdullah II in Sochi. Prior to the meeting, The New York Times said Putin was “speaking slowly and clearly angry.” NATO called an emergency meeting in Brussels on Tuesday after the incident.

    “The aim of this extraordinary North Atlantic Council meeting is for Turkey to inform allies about the downing of a Russian airplane,” NATO’s deputy spokesperson Carmen Romero told the Associated Press.”
    We’ve talked here about the very confusing situation of airspace coordination in the Syrian area of operations. You have Russian, Turkish, Syrian, American, and even Israeli combat aircraft operating in the area. Something was bound to happen.

    And here’s the real rub: Turkey is a member of NATO, and if it decides to invoke Article V, then the 28 member states of NATO are somewhat obliged to honor that commitment. Turkey does not support the Assad regime and has been supporting Sunni Islamic terrorist groups — such as the al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra front and others — to topple Assad. Russia and Iran support Assad and have a considerable contingent occupying Syrian ground — Russians, Iranian Quds force and Hezbollah. And of course we know there are forces on either side who are encroaching upon the Golan Heights, and Israel has launched strikes into Syria to attack Iranians.

    And President Obama tells us about his kissing Michelle in Paris and states a conference on climate change will send a message of resolve to ISIS — FUBAR.

    Now, I’ve just laid out the “conventional” forces, but what about the militant Islamic terrorist factor? We have ISIS, who conducted command and control of a massive terror attack in Paris, operating in the battlespace. ISIS has not been contained and holds territory spanning two different country borders — Syria and Iraq. Then there are the Kurds, the world’s largest ethnic minority without a homeland. And now freely operating in Iraq, and leading, is Iran supporting the Shiite militias.

    What a doggone gumbo that could’ve been evaded with a simple investment of 10,000-15,000 U.S. residual forces in Iraq.

    And consider the chess game of leadership. France’s Hollande was in Washington, D.C. today and got a chance to hear about Obama’s romantic interlude; this was after his meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Cameron. Next, Hollande will travel to Moscow to speak with Vladimir Putin. Putin was just in Iran and now in Jordan meeting leaders — anyone recall the last time Obama was in the Middle East talking with leaders? Don’t forget only two of the six Gulf Cooperation Council leaders showed up for his Camp David photo op — oops, I mean summit. Egypt’s el-Sisi, shunned by Obama, has spoken with Putin and Netanyahu went to Russia before the last U.N. General Assembly.

    Why do I say all this? Go back and read of all the diplomatic discussions that happened after Archduke Ferdinand’s assassination — quite similar. In the end, they stopped talking, drew lines, mobilized and commenced fighting.

    A spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition based out of Baghdad said the U.S. indeed heard Turkey on “open channels” issue 10 warnings to the Russian jet before the incident. Reports out of Russia also say a military helicopter was shot at in Syria, killing one serviceman. The helicopter was reportedly on a rescue mission.

    Rebels said they fired at the two parachuting pilots as they descended, and that one had died. A rebel spokesman said they would consider releasing the body in exchange for prisoners held by Syria. The fate of the second pilot was not immediately known.
    http://video.foxnews.com/v/4629498997001/
    We now have a French carrier group deployed and a Russian naval cruiser with orders to defend Russian troops. Ladies and gents, we can dismiss this, but we’re on the verge of a world war.

    And who are the players? Turkey will side against Assad and leverage NATO Article V. France is part of NATO, but their beef is against the Sunni Islamist terrorist group ISIS that’s been supported by Turkey. al-Nusra is a Sunni Islamic terrorist group affiliated with al-Qaeda, but they’re fighting against Assad. Russia supports Assad and is joined in that alliance by Iran and their proxy army, Hezbollah. Russia has had a passenger jet shot down by ISIS, killing 224 of its citizens, and now has had Turkey shoot down its plane — first time a NATO member has done such since the 1950s. ISIS, Turkey and al-Nusra are all Sunni. The Kurds are Sunni, but hated by the Turks, who don’t want them strong and independent.

    Nature abhors a void and will fill it. And in this case, there is a clear void in leadership and things have gone to hell in a hand basket. But fear not, Obama will fix the weather and all will be resolved.

    What would I do? Organize a true coalition against ISIS; that is the most prevalent enemy. I’d declare an operating battlespace with the objective to defeat the savages. I’d ally primarily with the Kurds, Jordan, Egypt, the UAE and France. I’d invoke NATO Article V to defeat ISIS — and the broader enemy of militant Islamic terrorism and jihadism, to include al-Nusra. My concern would not be on Assad, but I’d revoke the Iranian nuclear deal and tell Iran its Quds Force and Hezbollah are both dedicated Islamic terrorist groups and, where identified, they’d also be attacked and defeated.

    My message to Vladimir Putin would be simple: get out of the area and take the Cuban special forces with you — unless you want to fall under American command and control, taking directions from us. And in the meantime, I’d be talking with our eastern European allies and strengthening military-to-military relations and partnerships — reinstating the missile defense shield.

    I certainly would not be heading to any climate change conference; that’s not a global priority.

    Hollande — and, indeed, the world — is looking for a leader. Putin cannot assume that role. Sadly, we’re stumbling into something potentially horrific, and our president is reminiscing about kissing and pondering fixing the weather. It will be a very long 14 months until January 2017.

    Just wondering has Obama even touched American soil just before the bomb in Paris? Is "the Family" even in the USA? A bit weird since one of the bombing sites is the Whitehouse, and soon, maybe?

    Regardless of who the President is at the time of a threat to the White House, they're not going to allow him to go back there. Remember Sept 11.......the President and Vice President were each taken to different locations, and hidden.

    I see your point, but I believe it's standard policy to hide him in situations like that.
