ISIS ties to Mexican drug lords

Expert warns Middle East turmoil could sting U.S.

Published: 1 day ago


WASHINGTON – A top U.S. Defense Department analyst under President Bush says ISIS, the Islamic jihadists creating a Muslim caliphate in Iraq and beyond, could use the Mexican border to infiltrate America, and it could happen “sooner rather than later.”

At a time when thousands are crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally each day, the risks might never be higher, said Michael Maloof, now a senior staff writer for WND and expert on the Middle East.

He said there are risks to the economy and the nation’s health. And he warned the Iraq crisis easily could turn into a global issue.

In the Middle East, the radical jihadists in the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (Greater Syria), or ISIS, have been conquering northern portions of Iraq. They’ve been executing, crucifying and beheading as they burn through the fragile nation. They now threaten to overthrow the government of Iraq and its neighbors to build a caliphate to use as a launching pad for attacks on the U.S. and its allies.

At the same time, some 1,500 illegal aliens are crossing the Mexico-U.S. border each day and the Obama administration has done little, if anything, to stop the influx.

Putting the two together should raise alarms, he said. “ISIS may be working to infiltrate” the U.S. with the aid of transnational drug cartels, he said, citing the violent Mexican criminal gang MS-13 as a highly likely candidate for the partnership.

“MS-13 already are in over 1,100 U.S. cities, and, as a consequence, the infiltration capabilities are very, very high and the threat from them can be sooner rather than later,” Maloof warned.

If ISIS did smuggle operatives into the U.S. across the U.S.-Mexico border it would almost


certainly not be the first time a terrorist group has done so.

Officially recognized by the U.S. government as Special Interest Aliens (SIAs), since the onset of the war on terror WND and other media have reported multiple cases of foreign nationals, including al-Qaida sleeper operatives, being smuggled into the U.S.

Further, in multiple instances the action was said to be aided by MS-13.

As reported by WND in 2005, Paul L. Williams, a former FBI consultant and author of “The al-Qaida Connection: International Terrorism, Organized Crime and the Coming Apocalypse,” claimed that al-Qaida under the leadership of Osama Bin Laden had delivered nuclear technology into the U.S.

Williams said at that time that former CIA Director George Tenet informed President Bush one month after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that at least two suitcase nukes allegedly had reached al-Qaida operatives in the U.S.

Recently we asked the question: Can Hamas-type tunnels infiltrate American soil? We were shocked by the answer and you might be too.

The Gaza War has revealed to the world the sophisticated network of tunnels Hamas militants used to infiltrate Israel.


How likely is it that terrorists could use similar tunnels along the U.S. border with Mexico to wreak havoc in America?

Chief International Correspondent Gary Lane talked to political host and analyst Michael Dozier about that possibility, and what should be done by the government to prevent it?

What Coexisting Means To ISIS Perfectly Illustrated With This New Cartoon

There is no negotiation with this group. They must be completely destroyed!


Via Wikipedia:


ISIS is an extremist group that follows al-Qaeda’s hard-line ideology and adheres to global jihadist principles.[104][105] Like al-Qaeda and many other modern-day jihadist groups, ISIS emerged from the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood, the world’s first Islamist group dating back to the late 1920s in Egypt.[106] ISIS follows an extreme anti-Western interpretation of Islam, promotes religious violence and regards those who do not agree with its interpretations as infidels and apostates. Concurrently, ISIS (now IS) aims to establish a Salafist-orientated Islamist state in Iraq, Syria and other parts of the Levant.[105]

ISIS’s ideology originates in the branch of modern Islam that aims to return to the early days of Islam, rejecting later “innovations” in the religion which it believes corrupt its original spirit. It condemns later caliphates and the Ottoman empire for deviating from what it calls pure Islam and hence has been attempting to establish its own caliphate.[107] However, there are some Sunni commentators,Zaid Hamid, for example, and even Salafi and jihadi muftis such as Adnan al-Aroor and Abu Basir al-Tartusi, who say that ISIS and related terrorist groups are not Sunnis at all, but Kharijite heretics serving an imperial anti-Islamic agenda.[108][109][110][111]

Salafists such as ISIS believe that only a legitimate authority can undertake the leadership of jihad, and that the first priority over other areas of combat, such as fighting against non-Muslim countries, is the purification of Islamic society. For example, when it comes to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, since ISIS regards the Palestinian Sunni group Hamas as apostates who have no legitimate authority to lead jihad, it regards fighting Hamas as the first step toward confrontation with Israel.[112][113]

Was the beheading of James Foley and act of war against the United States? What do you think the United States should do about ISIS?

REAKING NEWS From @National Review Online via @Judicial Watch ISIS NOW CONFIRMED TO BE OPERATING IN Juarez, Mexico

Islamic terrorist groups are operating in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez and planning to attack the United States with car bombs or other vehicle born improvised explosive devices (VBIED). High-level federal law enforcement, intelligence and other sources have confirmed to Judicial Watch that a warning bulletin for an imminent terrorist attack on the border has been issued. Agents across a number of Homeland Security, Justice and Defense agencies have all been placed on alert and instructed to aggressively work all possible leads and sources concerning this imminent terrorist threat.

Specifically, Judicial Watch sources reveal that the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) is confirmed to now be operating in Juarez, a famously crime-infested narcotics hotbed situated across from El Paso, Texas. Violent crimes are so rampant in Juarez that the U.S. State Department has issued a number of travel warnings for anyone planning to go there. The last one was issued just a few days ago.

Intelligence officials have picked up radio talk and chatter indicating that the terrorist groups are going to “carry out an attack on the border,” according to one JW source. “It’s coming very soon,” according to this high-level source, who clearly identified the groups planning the plots as “ISIS and Al Qaeda.” An attack is so imminent that the commanding general at Ft. Bliss, the U.S. Army post in El Paso, is being briefed, another source confirms. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) did not respond to multiple inquiries from Judicial Watch, both telephonic and in writing, about this information.

The disturbing inside intelligence comes on the heels of news reports revealing that U.S. intelligence has picked up increased chatter among Islamist terror networks approaching the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. While these terrorists reportedly plan their attack just outside the U.S., President Obama admits that “we don’t have a strategy yet” to combat ISIS. “I don’t want to put the cart before the horse,” the commander-in-chief said this week during a White House press briefing. “I think what I’ve seen in some of the news reports suggest that folks are getting a little further ahead of what we’re at than what we currently are.”
The administration has also covered up, or at the very least downplayed, a serious epidemic of crime along the Mexican border even as heavily armed drug cartels have taken over portions of the region. Judicial Watch has reported that the U.S. Border Patrol actually ordered officers to avoid the most crime-infested stretches because they’re “too dangerous” and patrolling them could result in an “international incident” of cross border shooting. In the meantime, who could forget the famous words of Obama’s first Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano; the southern border is “as secure as it has ever been.”

These new revelations are bound to impact the current debate about the border crisis and immigration policy.

Obama is doing nothing because this is what his plan was. Open the borders and allow all to come here even ISIS and then play dumb. He has no plan to deal with them the way we think he should. He has given them the keys to the country.

Muslim Cleric Makes Sick ‘Joke’ About Terrorist Attacks During CNN Sound Check

by Jason DeWitt on August 31, 2014

http://toprightnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/scumbag-thumb.jpg

A liberal CNN anchor got a quick lesson in how you cannot appease sick Muslim radicals.




CNN’s Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter started a segment criticizing FoxNews’ Sean Hannity for his “shouting match” with radical Muslim cleric Anjem Choudary — calling it “lots of heat but very little light”. Stelzer was going to give Choudary a fair shake instead and “discuss” his views. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/matthew-balan/2014/08/28/hannity-spars-islamist-choudary-who-claims-isiss-atrocities-are-weste

Then Stelter actually spoke to the Choudary — and found out just how vile he really is.

Choudary said that all Muslims believe as he and ISIS does, and the shocked Seltzer responded in disbelief.

Choudary said “Moderate” Muslims are “being paid by the government to say what they say.”

“Oh give me a break,” Steler said. “Now you’re just making up stuff.”

As Steltzer quickly realized he was dealing with pure evil — as Hannity said — Steltzer finally let the audience in on it too, recalling the horrible thing Choudary did during the pre-show sound check:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i9rw49sUes&feature=player_embedded


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i9rw49sUes&feature=player_embedded

Absolutely disgusting.

Finally even the liberal, “open-minded” CNN anchor gets the danger and evil of radical Islam. What took you so long, CNN?

The reaction on Twitter was immediate and outraged.

The exit question is: what more is the UK’s David Cameron waiting to hear from this scumbag before he deports him?

So should we assume March 11, that something is going to happen??

[boopster]

I think we have to assume that anything can happen any day, anywhere, any how. I am so appalled by our government inaction headed by a procrastinator as pres who has probably spent more time playing golf and organizing glitzy parties than he has in running this country....and many of our elected officials who join him putting their heads in sand.

You have got to be freaking kidding me.

We are SO screwed...

White House just announced official plan to fight jihadists:
CLOSE Gitmo and exercise "Strategic Patience!"
By Gopal Ratnam
February 5, 2015

Critics accuse the administration of being too slow to act in Syria and Russia. In a new strategy document, the White House says that was the plan all along.

The White House’s new national security policy, issued Friday, urges a long-term view of confronting conflict in a world awash with urgent crises. It served as more of a defense of President Barack Obama’s response to threats rather than offering a new direction, and bolsters his belief that acting deliberatively now could stave off worse threats later.

“Progress won’t be quick or linear,” National Security Advisor Susan Rice told an audience at the Brookings Institution think-tank, where she unveiled the strategy — the second and likely final policy document of its kind for the Obama administration.

“But we are committed to seizing the future that lies beyond the crisis of the day, and pursuing a vision of the world as it can and should be,” Rice said.

It was an attempt to push back on the criticism that for years has been heaped on Obama for failing to quickly deal with crises — including the rise of the Islamic State and Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine — that have erupted on his watch. Rice urged a policy of “strategic patience” that allows America to prove its power when it must, but as often resists reflexive responses that could ensnare the U.S. in long-term conflicts.

A White House summary of the strategy, released ahead of Rice’s remarks, repeatedly highlighted the administration’s intent to lead — in partnerships, with military power, and “with a long-term perspective, influencing the trajectory of major shifts in the security landscape today in order to secure our national interests in the future.”

That is a clear pushback to lawmakers, policy experts, and prominent U.S. journalists who have lambasted the White House for “leading from behind” — a catchphrase that the administration itself once used to describe the U.S. role in the 2011 coalition bombing campaign in Libya, but has since become shorthand for being too passive in global crises.

Stewart Patrick, a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, said Friday’s strategy plan fails to make clear how the U.S. should choose between competing priorities of responding to immediate threats while still refusing to fully invest in helping solve world crises. He said the Pentagon, the State Department, and other security and diplomatic government agencies may be unable to build their own respective strategies without clearer advice from the White House.

The blueprint “provides little guidance about the relative importance of the multiple interests it identifies,” Patrick wrote Friday.

The National Security Strategy, required by U.S. law, is intended to set the direction for the administration and communicate American intent to lawmakers, the public, and the world. It is Obama’s second such strategy, and likely last, before he leaves office in early 2017.

It details how Obama believes the United States should deal with threats ranging from Chinese aggression in the Pacific and cyberattacks, to the rise of the Islamic State, Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, genocidal regimes, and climate change. It also makes a strong case for using all elements of American power — not just with military force, but also through financial and economic sanctions against nations and leaders who disrupt the world order.

The strategy document also calls for stopping “mass atrocities” and reaffirms America’s role in protecting civilians from genocidal regimes. But Obama has been hesitant to intervene in a number of global hotspots, including the ongoing slaughter of civilians in Nigeria by Boko Haram extremists.

Obama’s strategy also touts the efficacy of sanctions to punish countries and actors that threaten to cause instability. In some of the document’s strongest language, the administration warns that the U.S. “will exact an appropriate cost on transgressors” who engage in aggression, proliferation of nuclear materials and other forms of unprovoked violence.

In an indication of how expectations often implode, Rice acknowledged that Obama’s 2010 strategy document anticipated a “cooperative and collaborative relationship” with Russia. Those hopes have since been dashed, and Moscow remains a top concern for the U.S. and its European allies, as Russian President Vladimir Putin shows little sign of relenting from his march on Ukraine, including annexing Crimea last year and continuing to stir unrest in the country’s east.

Obama and European leaders have imposed crippling economic and financial sanctions against Russian firms and officials, and Ukraine separatists. Critics have blamed the administration for not sending weapons to Ukraine to defend itself from Russian military aggression, even though the White House is now considering doing so. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/02/world/us-taking-a-fresh-look-at-arming-kiev-forces.html?_r=0

Additionally, the White House calls climate change and energy security as key to U.S. national security. It says America is a world leader in oil and gas production, and can afford to reduce foreign energy imports. But it cites a “significant stake” for the U.S. to help secure Europe’s energy needs, and thereby wean much of the West off its dependence on Russia for oil and gas. That will help undercut Putin’s campaign to roil Ukraine.

On climate change, the White House highlighted a 2014 agreement between Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping to cut China’s carbon pollution. It also took care to maintain that the burgeoning diplomacy between Washington and Beijing — the world’s two largest economies — would still be tightly managed with an eye toward China’s dubious record on maritime security, trade, and human rights issues.

In a significant nod to the growing U.S.-India ties, the strategy praised New Delhi’s role as a regional security provider. Beijing is likely to view Washington’s urging of a greater role for India in regional affairs as a threat to China’s ambitions.

In his earlier security strategy paper, issued in May 2010, Obama focused on ending the war in Iraq and adding more troops to the fight in Afghanistan. http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/national_security_strategy.pdf Lawmakers have been expecting to see an updated strategy at least since late 2013, but, ironically, its release has been delayed as the administration has struggled to keep up with quickly unfolding crises.

Iraq has returned to haunt Obama since U.S. troops withdrew from Baghdad in 2011 — fulfilling his campaign promise to end the war that killed nearly 4,500 American troops and cost hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars.

Last year, Obama agreed to send American troops to back Iraq after seeing fighters for the Islamic State extremist group overrun the war-torn nation and systematically murder its people. The militancy has its roots in Iraq and Syria, where Obama also has been roundly criticized for offering too little help, too late, to staunch oppressive policies by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad that, in turn, fueled the insurgency.

Against the advice of some of his own top advisers, Obama refused to arm moderate, vetted Syrian rebels early in their fight against Assad. It is a prime example of the administration’s restrained foreign policy, against the backdrop of a civil war that has killed nearly 200,000 in four years. The chaos gave the Islamic State an opening to control large swaths of territory in Syria and Iraq.

Obama later relented, and by mid-2013 allowed the CIA to begin arming a small group of rebels. That effort is now said to have stalled, and the Pentagon has taken over the effort to vet, recruit, and train as many as 5,000 rebels a year under a $500 million program. http://www.wsj.com/articles/covert-cia-mission-to-arm-syrian-rebels-goes-awry-1422329582

Despite the broad sweep of the strategy, critics of the administration — including lawmakers of both parties, former cabinet officials, foreign leaders and policy experts — are likely to see the plan a continuation and endorsement of Obama’s foreign-policy approach of the last four years.

“This new strategy is a regurgitation of the same failed policies that have engendered an international environment of weakness and made the United States and our allies around the world less safe,” said Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio), a member of the House Armed Services committee.
