Will ISIS Attack the 2016 Rio Olympics?

With the Olympics set to start tonight, security officials are concerned over the potential for a serious ISIS attack on the games.  Brazilian officials have already been taken to task over the lax security environment in around the games. With terror just one of the many security issues facing the games Brazil’s security services are clearly inexperienced in something of this magnitude.

In the days leading up to tonight’s opening games security officials have stepped up there work.  They have become so concerned that 13 different Israeli security firms are aiding the protection of the games. In fact, one man has already been caught with a gun.

How Will ISIS Attack?

For most security experts on the look out for a well planned mega attack, they are looking at ISIS’s operational strategy the wrong way. Time and again, ISIS has been able to get passed security officials by utilizing nearly spontaneous reactions by ISIS supporters to overwhelming propaganda. Stabbings, car rammings, and lone gun men are far harder to predict and control than a well constructed terror cell.  The worst thing security officials can do is go out of their way to protect against something that is far too complex for ISIS and miss the anonymous attendee ready to ounce.

The Battle of Dabiq 

The battle of Dabiq, a mythological battle at the end of the days predicted by Islam to take place between the forces of the Mahdi/Caliph and the countries of the world is necessary according to Islam in order to usher the end times in.  The Olympics provide and excellent opportunity for ISIS to wage an international battle of Dabiq against what they see as the forces of the world gathered at the Olympics.

So will there be an attack. No one knows, but security officials better listen well to the private Israeli firms that are already there.  Thousands of lives may depend on it.

REDEMPTION WATCH: Rav Eliezer Schick about the war of Gog U’Magog

Rav Eliezer Schick, ZTL, shares some of Rebbe Nachman’s ‘Hidden Scroll’ which explains what will happen before Moshiach comes

For around 200 years’, the Megillat Setorim, or hidden scroll, written by Rebbe Nachman has been one of the best-kept secrets of Breslev chassidut. Until recently, very few people had even heard of it, and even fewer had access to its secrets.

The scroll was written in code by Rebbe Nachman before his death in 1810, and it contains secrets pertaining to what will happen in the world before Moshiach comes, that only one in a generation is initiated into.

In the last generation, as the footsteps of Moshiach have come closer, more and more of the contents of the ‘hidden scroll’ have been leaking out. Before his untimely death last year, Rav Eliezer Schick, ZTL, wrote the following about the contents of Rebbe Nachman’s ‘hidden scroll’ in his book, Paolot HaTzaddik.

Rav Shick revealed that there would be a terrible ‘war’ prosecuted against the nation’s leading Tzaddikim, as part of the preparations for Geula. He wrote (my translation):

“There are the wars of Gog and Magog, which will include all the machloket (disagreements) and the accusations that will be made against the true Tzaddikim, those who uncover the true will of Hashem Yitborach.

“Because there are those who want to eat them alive [these Tzaddikim], God should have mercy, and who say every forbidden thing against them, and mock them a lot. And by doing this, they greatly distance Jewish souls from coming near to them, and also lengthen the duration of our bitter exile, God forbid.

“And because they do this, woe to them! Woe to the souls of these people, who have a share in the machloketand disagreements involving the true Tzaddikim, and who reveal Hashem’s true will in the world.

“And they are the brazen-faced of the generation, the people with the face of a dog [note: in the language of the gemara], the soldiers of Gog and Magog, who conceal the truth, and they are the wicked people of the generation, as written in, (Bava Metzia, 83): “As this one is exceptionally contemptuous, one may deduce that he is a wicked person.” [This was a statement made by Rabbi Elazar the son of Rebbe Shimon Bar Yochai, in relation to a mocking comment that was made to him by a laundryman, who it was later discovered WAS a very wicked person.] I.e, the man was so insolent and brazen towards one of the leading Rabbis of the generation, he had to be a wicked person.

“It’s written in the Midrash (BeMidbar Rabba, יח:י): ‘He who is brazen-faced, and who is not ashamed in front of those who are bigger than him, and he who is a baal machloket (troublemaker), you’ll see that he is the wickedest of the wicked.”

“And if I would have known, my dear brother, what was written in the Megillat Setorim regarding these soldiers of Gog and Magog, and the people who cover over the truth, you would fall on your face from fear and dismay, about how this bitter exile would be lengthened by them.

“And it was already written in the Yerushalmi, (2a) that ‘the insolent one will win-out over the kosher one’, in order to maintain free will and spiritual tests.

“As we can see, my beloved brother, you must flee from all machloket and from all disagreements, and not get drawn into fights and arguments. And in particular, be very careful that you should have no part whatsoever in any mockery, disagreements or criticism of the true Tzaddikim, because you don’t know what the next day will bring. And you don’t know against who and against what you may be opposing or mocking.

“And even though they may want to try to destroy you [with their words], because for them it’s a ‘mitzvah’ to persecute kosher people, SAVE YOUR SOUL, my beloved brother, and run away from doing ‘mitzvahs’ like these, because otherwise ‘bitter will be you end’.

“And the opposite is also true: If you help the true Tzaddikim, then you will bring the geula closer, and you will merit to have all the good that has been set aside for the soldiers of the House of David. [Referring to Moshiach].”

Terror in the Heart of London

When Brexit passed, the backers of the movement warned of the consequences of staying within the EU.  One of the arguments was the liberal immigration and migrant policies of Brussels. The British took the voting booth behind an anti-immigrant sentiment and voted to leave the EU.

With terror striking the streets of London last night in the guise of a stabbing onslaught carried out by a young Norwegian-Somali, the proof that leaving the EU at this time couldn’t have been more.  As the blood i cleaned up from the streets and the murdered is laid to rest and the wounded healed, a crack in the fundamental British disconnect from what happens on the mainland is growing.

What will Britain do next? If the answer is more police or stricter enforcement of potential immigrants, then ultimately London is only papering over the symptom instead of tackling the deeper issue.

There is something mildly bizaare about a Muslim mayor of London appealing for calm. London mayor Khan said: “I urge all Londoners to remain calm and vigilant. Please report anything suspicious to the police‎. We all have a vital role to play as eyes and ears for our police and security services and in helping to ensure London is protected.”

Already 10 years ago, London gained the nickname Londinistan. This nickname has not only stuck, but it has become synonymous with the city.  In order for Britan tackle the potential threat it now sees o its streets, it must reverse the Islamification of British culture. It must remove Londinistan and replace it with London. The British government must make it clear that Brexit is happening and no new immigration from areas that are frought with chaos and terrorism will happen until after a British only immigration policy post Brexit is developed.

There is still time for the British to save themselves and keep wat occurred last night to an outlier, but time is of the essence and so far British politicians are too kean on employing only a superficual fix.

Black Lives Matter Supports the Slave Trade?

Black Lives Matter Israel

The Black Lives Matter movement has decided to take their struggle to the streets of Israel on behalf of the Palestinian Arabs.  What the correlation is between the two movement isn’t exactly clear. The Black Lives Matter activists claim to see many correlations between the African-American struggle against police brutality and systemic racism in America and the security apparatus that exists in Judea and Samaria.

“Going through checkpoints, seeing rubber bullets, reminds us what our comrades and some of us experienced in Ferguson, IDF soldiers totally remind me of the cops that brutalized me,” said Ash-lee Henderson, a Black Lives Matter movement member. Henderson was left severely injured by an altercation at a rally with a cop.

The Black Lives Matter movement supports BDS and is 100% behind the Palestinian National movement.  Yet, given the Arab history of being behind the African slave trade and continuing to trade in slaves until today, one wonders why BLM wants to associate itself with the very people who have been and in many ways still responsible for oppressing Africans.

Some estimates puts the numbers of slaves taken from Africa by Arab slave traders as 20 million.  Often times these slaves were taken as young boys who were castrated in order to prevent reproduction. In many Arab countries one can still find slaves.  In fact Mauritania only recently criminalized slavery.

The alliance between the Black Lives Matter movement, BDS, and various pro-Palestinian groups have not been lost on pro-Israel African-Americans and there is a growing concern that BLM and its many offshoots are being drawn into completely non-connected cause.  Chloe Valdary, a Black Zionist spoke out against this very phenomenon on widely watched video.

“You want to exploit my people’s history?” Valdary said. “You want to exploit Jewish people’s history and twist and turn it to use towards your political gains? Don’t act like you have solidarity with my people,” Valdery said, adding: “You need to stay in your lane.”

Will Black Lives Matter stop themselves before they become to too attached to a movement that has little to do with theirs and in fact contributes greatly systemic racism in the Arab world? One can only hope.

[Video] Palestinian Father Begs IDF Soldiers to Kill His Son

Father Asks IDF to Kill Son

In what must be one of the most disturbing pieces of video footage, a Palestinian father confronts IDF soldiers during a protest and pleads with the soldiers to shoot and kill his little boy.

In the video, the father is heard yelling at the IDF soldiers, “Shoot him, Shoot him. ” He then goes on to command his son, “Go go over there. Don’t be afraid. Go over there. Let them shoot you. Let them kill you.”

This video has gone viral, even in the Arab world. The only difference is that when the Palestinian Authority TV station reported the story, they edited out the part of the video that shows the soldier reaching his hand out to the boy in a friendly gesture and the boy then shaking his hand. Instead, the PA TV outright lied and praised the boy for not shaking the IDF soldier’s hand. The PA is known for its incitement against Israel and Jews and has a history of hiding the facts and outright lying to the public.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a public statement commenting on the video in which a Palestinian father calls on soldiers to shoot his son. “I’ve just watched a video that shook me to the core of my being. In just a few seconds, it shows why our conflict persists,” he said.

If the Palestinian culture does not immediately change its obsession with death, martyrdom and murder, the chances of peace with Israel will become even more unlikely.

Revelation from a Nigerian: The true story of Buhari, Obama, and their plot to set Turkey on fire

It becomes important now, as we lament our terrible fortune in letting Muhammadu Buhari become our chief executive in government that we should begin to tell ourselves some home truths about what we know of this devil we call our President. I believe this will enable us prepare for the worse as he is prepared to give us the worse, together with his counterpart in the United States of America (USA). I believe also that by informing ourselves, we will be able to counter their moves.

Anyone that knows anything about this Daura man must not hesitate to tell us. That is why I must now write of what I know from my vantage point as man who knows the goings on in the inner circle of Nigerian government. This article contains a lot of information, but my main aim is to reveal the plot by Obama and Buhari to oust Prime Minister Recep Erdogan of Turkey in a coup d’état, and to turn his country into crisis for some roles he has refused to play.

In March 31, this year, during Obama’s last Nuclear Security Summit held in the USA, he commended Buhari before Canadian President, Justin Trudeau – telling him that Buhari was “doing a good job”. It was hard to understand whether Trudeau understood what Obama meant, as many Nigerians did not understand what good job Buhari was doing.

But now the scale has fallen off the eyes of many, even as they now learn of Buhari’s involvement in the coup in Turkey. But there are still so much more not learn about Buhari’s atrocities both in Nigeria and outside of it. Right now, many Nigerians think Buhari’s involvement with the Turkey coup just started and ended with transferring the funds to the men on ground in Turkey. But it went beyond that. Buhari is neck-deep in his involvement with many Obama schemes around the world.

Even as I write, he has Arabians stationed in Nigeria in absolute luxury, who are his think-thank that give him advice and insights on developments in the Arab/Moslem world. In August last year, few weeks after he assumed power, his government gave visa to Ahmad al-Assir, a Lebanese Moslem, and an Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) leader. Many people would think he was the only one given visa by Buhari. No! He was just the only one that was not able to pass through. He would have been part of that think-tank today.

Many observers did not know that “doing a good job” which Obama said of his “grandfather”, Buhari, meant that the old Nigerian Muslim bigot was playing the perfect lackey to him, and to his Muslim backers in their attempt to shift Turkey away from its status as the only Moslem democracy in the middle-east and to plunge it into crisis.

What many people do not know is that Turkey runs a democracy unlike Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait and other Islamic countries in the region. It is about the only Arabian country that has democratized and is bidding to join the European Union (EU). But that is not good for Muslim fanatics like Buhari and Obama abhorred that.

Yes, Obama is a Moslem; there is no doubt about that. One does not need lensed glasses to see it; and he has proven it with his actions over time. Agreed, USA does not have any problem with Moslem countries because they have Moslem friends. In fact, Moslem zone with riches are USA preys. Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Egypt are good examples. Yet, USA does not fight Jews, Israel or Christians. But Obama is the only American leader that supports to annihilation of Christians as he is aiding Buhari to do all over Nigeria and aided Morsi to do in Egypt. His hatred of Israel also attests to that.

The coup:
Right now there is tension in Aso Rock. Not really about what the people already know, but what they do not know, and the fact that their possibility of their knowing is growing. What with Obama, at a time, calling Buhari every 30 minutes and telling him to do everything to protect his image and that of the USA.

Aso Rock’s major source of worry is their awareness that Turkey leader is just bidding his time for now. He does not want to talk about the USA/Nigeria connection on the coup yet, until after he has visited Vladimir Putin, the Russian President.

Obama’s plans for what to do with Buhari, concerning Turkey, started long before the 2015 elections in Nigeria. In fact, this was what those campaigning for Biafra did not know. They did not know that Obama’s urge to Islamize the entire world was bigger than his consideration for any peoples’ freedom. That was why he turned blind eye to their entreaties for him to lend a hand in their work for their freedom, the freedom of Biafra and its independence.  That was why also, he first plotted with some Northern governors, 12 of them and a deputy governor (all Moslems), who visited him in August 2014, to help in ousting Jonathan from office.

The governors had visited under the guise of fighting Boko Haram, but they all knew that Boko Haram was part of the plot. Does it not surprise anybody that Obama refused to brand Boko Haram a terrorist group until the Senators suddenly rose to their responsibility and started asking questions on why the government had ignored pleas to brand the sect a terrorist organisation? People should understand that when Abubakar Shekau, the leader of Boko Haram boasted that USA would not be able to subdue them, he knew that the USA leader was their godfather.

Obama’s plot to float Boko Haram was to use it to discredit former President, Goodluck Jonathan, so that he will be disgraced him out of office. Did it not surprise anyone that Obama bluntly refused to sell arms to Jonathan to confront Boko Haram. Not only that, he influenced many important countries not to sell arms to Jonathan, thereby forcing the poor man to look for arms through the black market. Obama did not stop there; he stopped the USA from buying oil from Nigeria, and organized other countries to do same, except perhaps India. Apart from discrediting Jonathan, Obama had his eyes on drastically reducing the Christian population in Nigeria.

Now, with Jonathan boxed into a corner, Obama finally busied himself with his (Jonathan’s) ouster. He dispatched his electoral hatchet man, David Axelrod, to Nigeria, giving him all the resources and assistance needed, to axe Jonathan. Nigerians should understand that when Buhari boasted that if he lost the election that “monkeys and baboon” would be soaked in blood; he knew the power behind him. But did Jonathan have to go? Yes, he did not accept the wicked plan and Obama’s evil political games, so he was ready (and did) walk out of the seat as a gentleman.

But Buhari accepted everything, even for baboons and monkeys to be soaked in their blood, before Obama decided to lend a hand in rigging him into Power. Obama then reached an agreement that he would pay Buhari certain amount of dollars. Part of the bargain was that Buhari was told by Obama to block the forex in Nigeria once he steps into office, so as to raise the said amount monthly and to pay same to a given account in Turkey. Buhari chose United Bank for Africa (UBA) for the wicked transaction. But why he chose the bank, I have not been able to find out.

It is instructive to know that the USA ceased from continuing with the execution of the coup plan when it was certain that it was going to fail. It then pretended to be helping in foiling it. Actually, discontinuing with the coup was their plan B. The plan A was to unseat Erdogan, but when it became apparent that it would not work, they change to plan B. interestingly, that has always been the USA way of doing things. They will create a crisis and then pretend to help in finding a solution when it appears to be getting out of hand.

Now, in sending the money to Turkey, Obama had told Buhari to tell any prying eyes that it was meant to take care of Syrian refugees. As a result of the latest development, what is going on now is that in his bid to “the integrity of Obama and the USA”, Buhari is telling UBA to deny knowledge of the transactions. But Turkey has all the facts. Perhaps they will spill the beans after Erdogan has visited Putin and apologized to him. We wait!

Reclaiming Jerusalem One House At a Time: “Now is the Time to Buy”

Jerusalem, home to the Jewish nation for more than 2,000 years, is seeing a historic trend of Jews claiming ownership in its neighborhoods. We are all familiar with Jews living in the Jerusalem neighborhoods we normally visit. However, there are many brave Jews that take ownership of properties in dominantly Arab neighborhoods. They are taking the initiative to reclaim the land that rightfully belongs to them.

Buying property from Arabs is no easy task. According to the Palestinian Authority, selling land to a Jew is a crime, punishable by death. Hence, there is a conscious fear of selling land to Jews.

Ateret Cohanim, a non-profit organization located in Jerusalem, helps find and buy land from Arabs while protecting the Arabs from getting caught for their “crime.” Ateret Cohanim is responsible for the flourishing Jewish presence in the Muslim Quarter in the Old City of Jerusalem, the Village of Shiloach (Kfar Hateimanim) and Kidmat Zion (Abu Dis).

According to Jerusalem city councilman Aryeh King in an interview with Arutz Sheva, “more and more Arabs are offering properties for sale. Because of that the cost of properties that Arabs are selling is dropping and we are able to buy in areas that we never thought to buy.” It seems the Arabs are less hesitant to see to Jews nowadays. “There is a big wave of new Arabs who are offering properties, and we don’t have enough money to buy all of the properties that are being offered.”

When asked whether it is really possible to reclaim a majority of Jerusalem land, Ben Packer of the Jerusalem Heritage House replied, “We see this is true right now, but can’t know what will be in the future. Now is the time to buy!”

Has Israel Asked for Too Much Aid from the USA?

Glenn Greenwald once again goes on another anti-Israel diatribe at the Intercept. His articlelaunches the typical vacuous attacks on Israel’s “occupation” of Judea and Samaria, where Arab Palestinians were encouraged to move to by foreign powers in order to block the Jewish return to their biblical heartland. He then meanders into the meme of Israel being  a wealthy country and circles back to the idea that ultimately Zionist Jews are just after money. All of this is tucked into the neat package of why everyone should oppose US foreign aid to Israel.

Let’s first establish that many Israelis, including this author are opposed to taking American aid.  We appreciate the gesture, but in fact are aware that it comes with far too many strings attached.  Despite what Glenn Greenwald posits in his article, the deal is essentially the same, where as Israel must spend much of its money on America weapons manufacturers as well as rules on how to use weapons and financing.  But this is not why many Israelis are against accepting foreign aid.  At its base foreign aid takes away a country’s ability to act within the confines of doing what’s best for it and its citizens.  In Israel’s case, Israel itself can likely live without the aid and if it does so it would be able to approach its own foreign policy in a neutral and patriotic sense.

So why does Israel accept the aid and if it is so displeasing to America, why does even Obama, Bibi’s erstwhile adversary freely give it?

One word: Control.

The Americans would love not to give Israel the kind of aid it does and although ideas like this have floated around for a while, American intelligence understands that a strong Israel not held back by American aid, could do what it pleases.  Israel could in fact do what it already has started to do and make deals and partnerships with rising powers. It could in fact leave the false two-state narrative behind and annex its biblically mandated land.  With India, China, and many other countries in the east rising, this control becomes very important for the American elite.  Israel is not the Ukraine. It has the largest amount of startups besides Silicon Valley and it boasts a unriveled innovation engine. Keeping Israel in the pocket of the American ruling class is a serious objective for both Republicans and Democrats.

So why does Israel continuously accept the aid if it can do much better on its own?  The answer comes down to money and connections.  There has always been a disturbing dichotomy between the globalist leaning elite in Israel and the typical citizen. The upper tier of the military still sees connections with the American security establishment as vitally important for a career post their military service.  They have good pensions and financial incentives to back US aid to Israel.  The Israeli populace sees very little of this money and instead receives conditions placed on the government’s maneuvarability.

What About Bibi’s Request for Even More Money

Glenn Greenwald points out what only seems like chutzpah on the part of Bibi Netanyahu in asking for even more money. The truth is, that Israeli intelligence provides a lot of unfettered access to Russian, Iranian, and Syrian movements in the Levant and Middle East.  America has by and large outsourced its intelligence gathering to Israel and in doing so, the terms of the agreement must change.  This is far more like a job than it is aid. America, doesn’t and at this point can’t afford to put boots on the ground and so Israel does it for them, giving valuable intelligence on enemy goings and comings that the US can’t get anywhere else.

Like usual Glenn Greenwald gives a half-baked position on an Israel centric issue.  Whether one agrees with US aid for Israel or not, the reasons for opposing it must be built on a solid factual foundation or else the argument risks slipping into old-fashioned antisemitism masked in anti-Zionist propaganda.

10 More Palestinians Arrested For Aiding in Murder of Rabbi Michael Mark

After last week’s killing of terrorist Mohammed Jabarah al-Faqih responsible for the murder of Rabbi Michael Mark in early June, the IDF arrested another ten Palestinians who are part of the same Hamas terror cell that aided al-Faqih.

Muhmad Amira, the driver of the terrorists’ car during the horrific murder of Rabbi Mark in front of his children, was arrested shortly after the attack and then revealed information to Israeli security forces during interrogations. His revelations led the IDF and security forces to the village of Dura where they located the terror cell, mostly made up of close family relatives.

The cell’s weapons supplier was also caught and three weapons factories were found in the town of Kalkilya.

Germans Rise Up: Angela Merkel Must Go

Angela Merkel

“Despite the great unease these events inspire, fear can’t be the guide for political decisions,” Angela Merkel, chancellor of Germany said on Friday, in reference to the growing outcry  from German citizens regarding her immigration policy.  She has stuck to her belief that Germany should work to keep an open immigration policy and integrate the migrants streaming into her country.

stubbornness can be an asset in politics, but in Merkel’s case it very well may be her undoing. The chorus of voices have grown stronger over the weekend.  The first Merkel “Must Go” rally attracted 5,000 protestors with 1000’s more across the country. More important for Merkel is that a key ally the governor of Bavaria who defended her Willkommenskultur – welcoming culture – towards refugees has now come our against it.

With her citizenry turning against her, she sees her rule slipping away. The question remains, are Germans ready to throw Angela Merkel out and what will be next?

A new survey found that 83 percent of Germans now see immigration as Germany’s biggest challenge.  This is twice as many as a year ago.

Recent attacks have lent strength to the right-wing movement, which has long called for stricter immigration methods, specifically in Bavaria.  This is where Merkel has faced the heaviest criticism from high-profile politicians.

With Merkel’s deal with Turkey looking increasingly likely to fall apart, the last visages of support for an open immigration policy will fade as the Erdogan agreement was the only thing lending fuel to the idea that the immigration situation could be manageable.
