Take a look at the massacre map<\/a>. Then read this<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The world is yet again staring at the near inevitability of another global conflagration.   The flashpoint is in the Middle East and the Hitler of our time: the Mullahs of Iran.   The West, led by Barack Obama and Joe Biden, have chosen to follow in the footsteps of the self-absorbed European leaders of the 1930\u2019s in dealing with Iran and their terrorist legions of Hamas, Hezb\u2019allah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and Ansar Allah (Houthis) among others.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Obama\/Biden policy in dealing with Iran has been to facilitate Iran in becoming a dominant player in the region in the na\u00efve belief that if the West, and in particular the United States, treats the Mullahs of Iran as equals, they will evolve into non-belligerent leaders who can be trusted.  Even if that means the acquisition of nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles and sacrificing America\u2019s only resolute ally in the region, Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

But is the disastrous Obama-Biden policy na\u00efve, or is it something worse: a deliberate attempt to "fundamentally transform" (in Obama's words), and thus destroy<\/em> the USA?  For example, why are no steps being taken by the Biden administration to control the southern (and northern) borders when it is a known fact that jihadis<\/em> are entering the homeland?<\/span><\/p>\n

Before 7 October it was clear enough that the purpose of the open border policy was to change the demographics of the USA in such a way as to make possible the permanent ascendancy of the Democrat Party. But now it can be seen that more nefarious motives were and are at work: to increase the likelihood of terrorist attacks within the homeland.  And what would they accomplish? They would give the current regime the excuse it needs for an even more draconian assault on the middle class and traditional American liberties.<\/span><\/p>\n

UPDATE 1 (11\/1)<\/span><\/p>\n

Senator Hawley in a Congressional hearing hammers<\/a> Alejandro Mayorkas who bears the Orwellian appellation "Director of Homeland Security." Is there anyone in the Biden administration more emblematic of the abysmal mendacity of said administration? <\/span><\/p>\n

These are very dangerous times. You'd best prepare for the immediate here and the possibly soon-to-arrive hereafter.<\/span><\/p>\n

UPDATE 2 (11\/1)<\/span><\/p>\n

Pope Francis has called for<\/a> a cease-fire:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

"Ceasefire," he said, mentioning a recent television appeal by Father Ibrahim Faltas, one of the Vatican's representatives in the Holy Land.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n
He then added in his own words: "We say 'ceasefire, ceasefire'. Brothers and sisters, stop! War is always a defeat, always".<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
What he means, presumably, is that war is always a defeat for humanity. Is Bergoglio ignorant of recent European history and in particular the Second World War? If the Allies had not defeated the Axis powers, humanity (in the normative sense) and the high civilization of the Judeo-Christian type that the good pope supposedly represents, would have ceased to exist.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
John Lennon famously if foolishly sang<\/a>, "Give peace a chance." What he and Bergoglio the Benighted fail to understand is that sometimes we have to give war a chance.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Si vis pacem, para bellum<\/em>. If you want peace, prepare for war. The price of peace is a credible deterrent. Weakness and appeasement invite attack. Joe Biden is weak on multiple fronts; no surprise then that the upshot is war on multiple fronts.  <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Conciliation is obviously a very high value. But how conciliate those who are religiously<\/em> committed to your extermination? How conciliate those who would rather die than permit you to live?<\/span><\/div>\n
