When snipers fired on Union soldiers from Tennessee or Kentucky villages, Sherman expelled residents, burned houses, and laid waste to crops. There are lessons here for what we used to call, quaintly, the Global War on Terror.
A conversation that’s way overdue. (h/t Me No Dhimmi)
There are now reports that the Bataclan Concert attack in France included ..
“that ISIS terrorists disemboweled, beheaded, and castrated some victims, shoving the cut off testicles into their mouths. Militants also gouged out eyes and stabbed women in the genitals, authorities told the commission.”
Apparently they recorded it for recruitment purposes! Nothing swells the extremist ranks like undeniable proof of islam’s superiority.
Sadly, and dangerously to both our way of life and our literal lives, the response from our media, academia, and elected rulers is to effectively submit on our behalf, validating our inferior position in the muslim world. Progressives betray us and then call us racist, islamophobes for pointing out truths they need to keep buried in order to avoid responsibility for the Islamic terror infecting our society.
We are way past a conversation as we are already losing the war we are told doesn’t exist. That those constant, revolting attacks in the name of allah are nothing but random acts of violence by the disenfranchised, with no evidence or similarities that connect them to a larger, violent agenda. Our rulers know we know its crap but they are focused on shutting us up to avoid the um,
exploding issue.
Progressives like to talk about root causes. Well, the root cause of Islamic terror in our nation is progressivism. Another topic we will never see on the CBC.
There is a saying that behaviour modification happens when the pain of change is less than the pain of staying the same.
In the movie The Seige with Denzel and Bruce, the message they wanted to communicate was we need to be careful not to trample the constitution in order to fight terrorism.
But what I got from it was the futility of spy agencies to turn Muslims from their mission through niceness.
As the author in the article suggests, it’s time for pain. You don’t win wars through peace.
Beautiful piece and overdue, totally agree.
“We prefer to think about winning hearts and minds. Winning the hearts and minds of a people, though, isn’t difficult once they fear you.”
Basically,the gist of the entire article was summed up by Soldier of Fortune magazine in the 1970′, when they sold a T-shirt with the message,”when you’ve got ’em by the balls,their hearts and minds will follow”.
I still have one somewhere deep in my dresser drawers.
The solution is obvious as stated by many authors and experts, the problem is our milquetoast leaders, who are leading us down the path to defeat.
There’s an excellent article at Gatestone Institute on the French Civil War.Way down the article there is a mention of the percentage of Muslims who vote for the acquiescent Party, as high as 97% in Sweden,and THAT, and Sandy says, is “the crux of the matter”, no matter what spin the lying bastards put on it.
Ohhhhh … now I see why Obama is acting feckless and weak and refuses to prosecute the War on Terror … he wants to be on the “winning” side. Seems to me that Obama is reading his Muslim brothers recruiting propaganda a little too carefully. I fully expect Obama to grow a very scraggly beard after he leaves office … to declare his true allegiance.
People are more concerned about playing Pokomon Go then worrying about terrorist attacks. The youth of today are a such a joke!! When they are living in a ghetto in Toronto someday they will be wondering what the hell just happened.
I watched Black Hawk Down last night. This triggered in me the thought that we have lost our way in how we deal with an enemy. If the civilian populace is supporting the enemy, they become the enemy. There will be unfortunate casualties, but if we are to win, we must be as ruthless as the enemy.
Imagine if Mogadishu had be carpet bombed into oblivion the way Tokyo or Dresden were? What if we followed up with massive boots-on-the-ground force?
Why aren’t we carpet bombing Raqqa off the face of the earth? Why don’t we deport EVERYONE in France who even marginally supports fundamentalist Islam (e.g. by wearing a niqab, segregating the mosques, etc.) to the Islamic State – if they want that form of rule, they should go where it is happening.
‘Ordinary Muslims live in fear of the terror networks, which have infiltrated their communities and proven their ability to turn the efforts of western security services against them. They are less likely to inform on prospective terrorists and more likely to aid them by inaction.
———————————————————————————–
As a result, western European Muslims fear the terrorists more than they fear the police. The West will remain vulnerable to mass terror attacks until the balance of fear shifts in the other direction”
and there folks are your *****moderate*** muslims, something that has all ways been as plain as the nose on your face, but against the meme in here.
the article Ordinary Muslims live in fear of the terror networks, which have infiltrated their communities and proven their ability to turn the efforts of western security services against them. They are less likely to inform on prospective terrorists and more likely to aid them by inaction.
The terrorists, in short, are winning the intelligence war, because they have shaped the environment in which intelligence is gathered and traded. But that is how intelligence wars always proceed: spies switch sides and tell their stories because they want to be with the winner. ISIS and al-Qaeda look like winners in the eyes of western Muslim populations after humiliating the security services of the West.
As a result, western European Muslims fear the terrorists more than they fear the police. The West will remain vulnerable to mass terror attacks until the balance of fear shifts in the other direction
lains how to defeat the muslim terrorists, but as with Japan and Germany, there has to be a follow up plan,so that things don’t go back to the way they are now. So,Me No Dhimmi, ET’s rise of the middle class is very pertinent to this discussion, and it’s comical that a howling idiot like you, who tried to demonize ET, should bring this article to the fore front:-)))
Rush Limbaugh has always said that the purpose of an army at war is to break things and kill people. After which, the enemy is brought to its knees and they surrender. They have no choice at that point but to surrender.
Then we have peace.
We can play nice at the surrender just as Ulysses S. Grant did with Robert E. Lee.
Unless we bring about a Sherman approach to this war, we will continue along the same road and end up in the same place every time.
A conversation we need to have but with who? Justin Trudeau? Stephane Dion? John McCallum?
Serious domestic anti-terrorism isn’t rocket science. It just requires sufficient numbers of Jihad events to allow the citizenry to be sufficiently annoyed to turn their back on liberal society allowing the state to suspend civil liberties and rough-up the Muslim community. Either way (submission or resistance), allowing Islam into the West ultimately degrades civilization as we know it.
We had an expression. “Grab them by the short and ccurlies and their hearts and minds will follow” Walk softly and carry a big stick.
gee, the obvious needs restated today.
Our leaders are the enemy.
The violent children who are inspired by the Cult of the desert Pedophile, are nothing.
They are honest in their insanity, “We are going to kill or enslave you all”, Cause Allah.
OK, I can understand that.
Now if the community that spawned these idiots also protects them in their murderous insanity, they become my enemy.
Especially when that community comes to my land as refugees,seeking to escape the insanity running rampant in their homeland.
They have no excuse for harbouring these madmen.
For they came here to escape them.
Or so they said.
But our precious progressive comrades, these are the real enemy.
They import ever more of the insane into our communities,at our expense, then seek to shut us up and dissarm us when we point at the madmen and repeat their own words.
They use our own institutions and laws to dispossess those who pay the bills and reward the destroyers.
Until we banish the fools and bandits from our midst, we will always be on defence.
We have national borders for good reason, men are not civilized beasts by instinct.
In fact the Death Cult of Islam is a perfect example of appealing to much baser instincts.
72 versions… Death really is too good for such stupidity.
Our “leaders” are currently selected from a small pool of fools and thieves.
Being career and heredity parasites they have no idea of human nature.
Now that their greed and stupidity has placed us in danger, they will reap the same reward as the as those who openly attack us.
By their actions we will know them.
knowing your own heritage is important.
Western Culture was created by a simple creed.
Peace Love & extermination of known threats.
Tried to re-post a comment I made here a couple of days ago but it seems to have disappeared into ether. Sherman had it right but he wasn’t the first General with the solution. The Romans had an even better solution to burning crops and hanging snipers, they crucified the snipers and salted the earth. Thus making sure that the populace would be unable to grow next years crop and start afresh. The problem in the West is that we are overly concerned about being magnanimous in victory. When Bomber Harris destroyed Dresden and the Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima we went in and helped rebuild the destruction, magnanimous in victory. Islam sees this as a weakness. Their goal and ultimate desire is total victory, which will mean the annihilation of the Western way of life. As we have come to realize there will be no magnanimity in their victory. The terror attacks of the last thirty or so years, which have caused us to change our way of life, will be as a grain of sand in the desert if we do not accept the fact that we are at war. Not a war of our choosing, but a war none the less. We had better better find leaders that understand this rather than the pompous twits that now think they know best, they are nothing but Judas goats.
War is hell, and if you do not conduct your part in that war in a hellishly brutal manner, you will lose, as indeed, we are.
When talk of “not all muslims are terrorists” come up, I always like to respond: “Not all Germans were Nazis”. The latter, but historically older, supremicist totalitarian ideology must be defeated in the same way: Eradicate the leaders, organizational structures and ability of the followers to follow.
“Not all Germans were Nazis”.
And most Germans who weren’t Nazi’s were enthusiastic about seeing their country resurgent, dominant, and then conquering under the Nazi regime. Very few of the “not Nazis” became anti-Nazi before that regime led them to defeat and the utter ruin of their country.
“War is the remedy our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want.”–William Tecumseh Sherman
Sadly, it may have to come to that.
“Progressives like to talk about root causes. Well, the root cause of Islamic terror in our nation is progressivism.”
Er, no.
Get the idea out of your head that this somehow about us.
It’s about them – the Islamist extremists and their view of the world.
Sadly, it won’t.
Our civilization doesn’t have the b@lls to do this anymore, so we will be replaced.
Obama says … “… that’s not who we are …” … when discussing the appropriate response to Terrorist scum. He is SO SO SO WRONG. America has HAD to “be” that person … multiple times throughout history. Can you imagine the US bombing Dresden today ? Obama would poll dozens of “focus groups” hand-selected on College campuses for the “pulse” of the American people. Or deciding to NUKE the rats nest of Izlam ? Or to intern Sharia-devotees ? We need a real MAN as a leader … and Hillary is NOT that man … despite outward appearances (the whole Chairman Mao look)
We are at the mercy of western leftists and have been since Viet Nam. We are not allowed to fight to win. The modern “liberal” is so even minded he cannot take his own side in a fight to the death. We need to eradicate ISIS. Capturing them, as we see with Gitmo, will only lead to cries of let them go by the stupid left. We have the ability but not the will.
Machiavelli:
“COMING now to the other qualities mentioned above, I say that every prince ought to desire to be considered clement and not cruel. Nevertheless he ought to take care not to misuse this clemency. Cesare Borgia was considered cruel; notwithstanding, his cruelty reconciled the Romagna, unified it, and restored it to peace and loyalty. And if this be rightly considered, he will be seen to have been much more merciful than the Florentine people, who, to avoid a reputation for cruelty, permitted Pistoia to be destroyed. Therefore a prince, so long as he keeps his subjects united and loyal, ought not to mind the reproach of cruelty; because with a few examples he will be more merciful than those who, through too much mercy, allow disorders to arise, from which follow murders or robberies; for these are wont to injure the whole people, whilst those executions which originate with a prince offend the individual only.”
You do what you HAVE to do; you can explain why you’re doing it but you must DO it.
Canada helped win the second world war and then released Kurt Meyer. As far as I’m concerned, that’s who we are.
Hate to say it, but the evidence is there.
In this war, I’m not really sure that anyone can count on Canada.
Oderint duum metuant.
Let them hate, so long as they fear.
Great work with the amateur cut and paste stuff, NME000. However, too bad you couldn’t keep things straight so they meant something that made sense but perhaps that’s just a new way for you to tell us the Jews are behind it all.
“By any reasonable count there are a few hundred million Muslims who in some way approve of terror”
and by any reasonable count there are a few hundred million liberal/leftist/progressives who in some way either,
– deny Islam equals violence and terror
– or they approve of that terror because they are self loathing white liberals.
The left is as dangerous as those islamic terrorists, because the enemy within the gates is as dangerous as the enemy outside the gates.
The General who was in charge of Bomber Command in the Pacific “LeMAY”, fire bombed Japan,& dropped the BOY’S had a interesting philosophy….
If you take your sick dog to the VET & he tells you that your dog is going to die unless
you cut of his tail..You may think of that pain your dog will feel, but cutting it off 1 inch at a time is not a sane solution/
He said The North Korean Cities could have been bombed into the stone age, in 3 weeks, but he was refused permission because all civilians… At the end of the War all the cities in both South & North Korea were destroyed..
LeMay was the Air-force General that commanded SAC.. The Nuclear loaded B52 bombers that flew continiously protecting the peace of the Cold WAR… Russia knew how he would respond
His Bio is a good read! WWII Germany & Japan..Korea and Nam….He wonders some, but his observations are all American…You will recognize the Good, Bad, & the Ungly
Oh, we can count on Canada. We’ll be just like Argentina hiding Germans. Muslims all over the world fearing repercussions and reprisals will be welcomed with open arms by the Laurentian crowd.
Queen Selfie’s biggest sadness is that he couldn’t get the Nice killer here quick enough to save him.
We must not forget the profoundly thoughtful words of our leader: “If you kill your enemies, they win.”
As I have said countless times here and elsewhere….
Until the western world starts adopting practical ideas like publicly burying all jihadists’ remains with pig intestines, these faith-based slaughters will continue unabated. But, as politicians all seem to do with problems plaguing societies these days, they will take the least controversial route to manage Islamic terrorism rather than take any difficult steps to end it.
But, it is much more than terrorism, isn’t it? Even if we could stop all Islam-inspired terrorist attacks, Sharia Law remains as a great threat to the freedoms we enjoy, especially the social left’s pet minority groups. Geez, they are simply oblivious to the impending implosion of all this “minority-group mindset” bullsh*t.
We have at least TWO distinct threats from the world of Islam, and our media and current leaders are actively giving cover for both of them.
This is wrong! Please note what Honest Hillary said about Muslims and Islam:
“Let’s be clear: Islam is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.”
NOTHING WHATSOEVER!!! Doesn’t anybody here watch the CBC?!
I agree with Honest Hillary and she will destroy Trump!!
Because the people supporting all the planets woes are the liberals an others of their ilk. We would have to bomb Toronto,Ottawa, Washington.. stc. We are in deep trouble.
Perhaps if the West wasn’t dropping Freedom Bombs on Muslim countries, the people in these countries wouldn’t be sending terrorists to the West…
The way to win the war is to frighten the larger community of Muslims who passively support terror by action or inaction–frighten them so badly that they will inform on family members. Frightening the larger Muslim population in the West does not require a great deal of effort: a few thousand deportations would do.
Exactly!! Unfortunately our so-called “leaders” don’t have the cohones to do what’s required. Trump is the notable exception.
Friends in Thailand have watched Islam spread across Malaysia. The methods for conquering a village are both insidious and effective. They first convert the biggest stupidest thugs. These thugs become the enforcers as people are coerced to convert or face reprisals. These are the same techniques that gangs use when they take over an area. This should be a wake-up call for North America, but unfortunately the propaganda of multiculturalism has paved the way for slow and insidious muslime conquest. Blacks are much easier to convert to Islam than any white folks, and muslimes hate white folks more than any other muslimes of any sect.
“Perhaps if the West wasn’t dropping Freedom Bombs on Muslim countries, the people in these countries wouldn’t be sending terrorists to the West…”
You just go on believing that.
I believe it was LeMay who said, “If you kill enough of them, they stop coming at you.”
I hold a Biblical worldview, and therefore believe that we are in the beginnings of sorrows, and that it is going to get much worse. It will take a nuke dropped somewhere to wake up the sleeping a$$holes that constitute western leadership.
This is correct. Just a reminder,Harper was never anti-Muslim. He was anti-extremism. Liberals, by contrast embrace extremism (“Sure, you can commit a terrorist act and keep you citizenship — no problem.) Unfortunately, Canadians were and are too unsophisticated to appreciate the distiction. Many are manipulated into thinking that by not criticizing foreign, anti-democratic practices, we are being welcoming, when in truth we are being fools and we are complicit in destroying our own culture by allowing extremist practices.
Finally iberia the fcuking commie shows up again. Are you on overtime on your comfy commie job in Victoria?
Saddam Hussein kept the muslime extremists under control. When Bush II went into Irak with his illegal war, deposed Saddam Hussein, disbanded the army and destabilized the whole region, he set the stage for the muslime extremists to once again take control of the Mideast. Now Ameri-ka will reap what they’ve sown.
http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/07/iraq-war-chilcot-report
“When Bush II went into Irak with his illegal war”
Who said it was illegal except other nutbars like you?
BTW: Iraq is spelled I-R-A-Q.
“And most Germans who weren’t Nazi’s were enthusiastic about seeing their country resurgent, dominant, and then conquering under the Nazi regime. Very few of the “not Nazis” became anti-Nazi before that regime led them to defeat and the utter ruin of their country. ”
Your proof is what? … your imagination?
‘Ordinary Muslims live in fear of the terror networks, which have infiltrated their communities and proven their ability to turn the efforts of western security services against them. They are less likely to inform on prospective terrorists and more likely to aid them by inaction.
That’s it in a nutshell. So called ‘moderate’ muslimes fear for reprisals against their families, and especially their children, and don’t trust white Europeans to protect them. They distrust us more than they distrust any muslime. Lieberals honestly believe that muslimes will trust them if they’re nice to muslimes. Conservatives generally believe that muslimes can only be controlled if they fear us more than they fear the terrorists. Those two polarized views are never going to find common ground. It’s like two people shouting at each other in different languages that the other does not understand, so they shout louder.
there you have it. a civilian population supporting the enemy is also the enemy. we cannot use our own morals and values when fighting an enemy who hates both us and our values and way of life. some will say that just brings us down to their level, I say if it is necessary get down there, we will not lose our souls by fighting to keep our souls.
“Saddam Hussein kept the muslime [sic] extremists under control.”
US-Led invasion of Iraq: 20 March 2003.
Attack on the World Trade Center: 11 September 2001.
So what you’re suggesting is that the Islamist extremists have a time machine which allows them to go back in time to punish the West for future events?
(And Saddam Hussein kept nothing under control. Have you forgotten some of his masterly moves? The war with Iran? The invasion of Kuwait? He and his thug family destabilized the region admirably with no US help at all.)
Maybe if the West were to drop enough bigger and brighter Freedom bombs, there wouldn’t be any terrorists left to be sent.
This is fascinating, comments about a group of people that are going about their lives, having families and doing their jobs. These people need to wear the brunt f the extremists and the extremist murderous actions. The silent majority are to be held responsible because they indeed could and should do something about the situation at hand. How many of you here hold this to be true of the taxi driver, the baker, the mothers and fathers trying to do better for their families , yet deny that police need wear their corrupt comrades? That the police need cleaning up from the inside out? That every shooting may not be good but that other officers are not equally responsible for covering up and protecting with the Thin blue line? Paid Professionals, your police, that are there to serve and protect you are excused from the same responsibility that Muslims are not afforded… absolutely fascinating….
“It takes a village” – Hillary Clinton
Think about it … Hillary said that the whole village has a responsibility to raise a child. Wouldn’t that responsibility extend to teaching and ensuring these children do not embrace a death cult like Izslamm ? Don’t these villagers bear that responsibility ?
Absolutely fascinating !
