Upon the arrival of Barry “Almighty” into the Oval
Office, the United States was very quick to transition away from what had been,
up until that time, referred to as being, and very rightly so, the “War on
Terror.” But it was shortly thereafter
that the nomenclature was made to morph into something that was kinder and more
non-threatening sounding. It was then
that it became our ‘Overseas Contingency Operation.” But even that has now been nearly completely
abandoned since it has been determined that ‘climate change’ now represents a
far more serious threat.
But there now comes a new report that would seem to
indicate that the terrorists still represent a rather sizable threat. This report reveals a rather rapid expansion
of Islamist groups across the Middle East and Africa responsible for what is
referred to as being the booming death toll of terrorism worldwide. It point to
a nearly 800 percent rise since 2010, or Barry’s first year as leader of the
free world. I suppose it could all be
just some strange coincidence, but I can’t help but wonder if one thing might
have something to do with the other.
It was terrorism expert Steven Emerson's nonprofit
Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) which found that an average of nearly
30,000 people per year have been killed by terrorists since 2010, when
terrorism's death toll was 3,284. The study identifies two troubling trends:
more attacks are happening, and they are deadlier than ever. Now, for whatever reason, it’s neither of
these trends that is seen as all that problematic by Barry “Almighty” or his
trusty sidekick, John Kerry-Heinz. Or for that matter either of the two
Democrats running for president.
Mr. Emerson, the executive director of IPT, said,
“Everyone has known that terrorist attacks have generally been increasing
yearly since 9/11. But the magnitude of the increase of the attacks surprised
us, especially in the past five years. Even if you look back at the annual
reports issued by the most senior analysts in the top five intelligence and
counter-terrorism agencies, there is not one report that predicted or
forecasted that we would likely see such a massive escalation of attacks.” Which I’m sure bothers Barry very little since
he would have only had the numbers fudged anyway.
The study credits the rise in part to the fact that
Islamist terror groups like Boko Haram in Nigeria, Al Shabaab in Somalia, a
resurgent Taliban, Palestinian terrorists, and Barry “Almighty's” JV team ISIS
which are now operating in more countries than ever, especially in the Middle
East and Africa. And despite the
overwhelming amount evidence starring
them right in face, there is not one Democrat, from our president on down, who
can bring themselves to label it as being radical Islamic terror, as they
continue to claim the threat has been reduced.
IPT's report used data collected by the University
of Maryland’s Global Terrorism Database. Looking at various intervals following
the 9/11 attacks, and sorting out deaths caused by clear acts of terrorism --
not simply war involving known terrorist groups -- IPT found annual terror
deaths have jumped 774 percent since the 2007-11 average. The numbers are striking when you consider
where the numbers were at the beginning period. I don’t think people have
grasped how significant these death toll numbers are." Or, if like Barry, they even care what the
numbers are.
According to IPT data, from 2001-2006, there was an
annual average of 2,508 terror fatalities around the world, which rose to 3,284
between 2007 and 2011. During 2012-2013, that average tripled to 9,537, and, in
the past two years, that number tripled again, raising the death toll to the
current annual average: 28,708 per year. Emerson urged a comprehensive approach
targeting the ideology of Islam itself, but it’s highly unlikely that that will
happen under our current regime, or the next, if we choose to elect either
Hitlery Clinton or Bernie Sanders as our president.
Emerson said, “There has never been a U.S. or allied
strategy to go after radical Islam. There have been, however, strategies to go
after specific groups like Al Qaeda or AQAP or ISIS. But these are all subsets
of radical Islam.” IPT expects the wave
of terror to continue to grow in 2016 and beyond, particularly in Asia and
Europe, thanks to the migrant crisis on the latter continent. A crisis, that I
think it’s very safe to say, that the European leaders have brought upon
themselves. And a crisis that will only
continue to worsen unless serious steps are taken and take soon.
Mr. Emerson went on to say, “With ISIS losing large
swaths of territory as well as key commanders, its center of operational
gravity definitely appears to be shifting to Europe, where it can recruit among
the more than 30 million Muslims who live in Europe." He added, “Add to this mix the fact that thousands
of mosques in Europe are controlled by Salfists, Wahabists and the Muslim
Brotherhood – which indoctrinate their followers, and you have a future recipe
for a massive increase in Islamist terrorist violence.” And is Barry trying to create the same
scenario here?
Well, you know, I suppose we can always look for
that silver lining in what has become a very dark cloud. After all, it could be worse, at least it's
not 1000%. Because with Barry as our
president it very well could be. But
with the approach currently being employed how could we have possibly expected
anything different. When the policy
consists of turning a blind eye to, and making numerous excuses for, Islamic
Terrorism, such as refusing to call it by its rightful name, we shouldn’t be
surprised to see a substantial rise in Islamic terrorism around the world.
All of which causes me to wonder if perhaps, just
perhaps, this is what happens when our president continues to repeat his claim
that ‘climate change’ is what poses the much greater threat than does the
ongoing, and increasingly deadly, threat that we’re being made to face from
these crazy religious extremists. How
completely naïve is that? And yet that is
where we seem to be. And what’s truly
scary is that we seem to have a significant number of voters ready to support a
continuation of that bizarre policy by electing a Democrat as our next
president.
