Due to the graphic nature of the content of this post a substantive backdrop is needed.

A few years ago, against the backdrop of Tunisia ablaze and a visible ember headed to Egypt, we hosted a discussion post about the Middle East.
It is one thing to understand the structural framework for the U.S. Rivkin Project, it is quite another thing to see it actually being implemented.   The latter leads those who understand the globalists within the Obama administration to recognize we were about to bear witness to horror.
The formative discussion was based on the context of President Obama’s 2009 Cairo speech where he stated his policy toward Islam in general, and the Middle East in particular.
Within the Obama speech, he proclaimed the approach outlined in the Rivkin Project.  He denied the cries of the Iranian Green Party movement for freedom, and he advocated or an “unclenched fist” toward Iran.  The Salafists saw the opening.
Those of us who have travelled in the Middle East, and those who have followed Mid-East events, knew immediately how this “open-handed” message would be received by Islamist Ideologues who conflate Political Islam toward Muslim considerations.
Those minority ideologues are the people who would advocate for Islam and Sharia Law implementation, the politicization of Islam, upon a religious Muslim majority.
Those ideologues view moderation as weakness, and they know how to use extremist views toward the West in their favor.
Obama’s weak appearances opened the door, allowing the Islamist ideologues to express years of anger and hatred toward the Zookeepers, Mubarek, Gaddaffi et al, who held a tenuous controlling grip on their behavior and radical intent.
As we discussed the predictable unintended consequences, Zurich Mike provided the exceptional analogy of:  [President Obama] Opening the ‘Big Cat’ cages within the greater Zoo that was the Middle East.   A more apt and encompassing analogy has never been written.
What has followed from that early 2010 prediction to today, is bearing out right now.  We are all witness to the consequences from the “unclenched fist”.   First with the crushing of the Iranian Green “Student” Party;  Later with the rise of the Salafist Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt;  Then the manipulation of the moderate cause in Eastern Libya turning to radical al-Qaeda fighters flooding back from Iraq and Afghanistan;  And now to today in Syria.
The content you are about to read is GRAPHIC in the extreme, and I caution you to consider whether or not you want to Bear Witness.   But this is, in its purest form, the visible outcome from an academic leftist Western approach exhibited by President Obama, Samantha Powers, Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton.

Again, I caution WHAT FOLLOWS IS GRAPHIC and Unsettling !

A journalist on behalf of TIME has documented recent activity in Syria.   This is one day in the life of a journalist on the ground.   The words and images are his.  His identity is concealed to protect him from repercussions:

The man was brought in to the square. His eyes were blindfolded. I began  shooting pictures, one after the other. It was to be the fourth execution that  day I would photograph. I was feeling awful; several times I had been on the  verge of throwing up. But I kept it under control because as a journalist I knew  I had to document this, as I had the three previous beheadings I had  photographed that day, in three other locations outside Aleppo.

The crowd began cheering. Everyone was happy. I knew that if I tried to  intervene I would be taken away, and that the executions would go ahead. I knew  that I wouldn’t be able to change what was happening and I might put myself in  danger.

I saw a scene of utter cruelty: a human being treated in a way that no human  being should ever be treated. But it seems to me that in two and a half years,  the war has degraded people’s humanity. On this day the people at the execution  had no control over their feelings, their desires, their anger. It was  impossible to stop them.

I don’t know how old the victim was but he was young. He was forced to his  knees. The rebels around him read out his crimes from a sheet of paper. They  stood around him. The young man was on his knees on the ground, his hands tied.  He seemed frozen.

Two rebels whispered something into his ear and the young man replied in an  innocent and sad manner, but I couldn’t understand what he said because I don’t  speak Arabic.

At the moment of execution the rebels grasped his throat. The young man put  up a struggle. Three or four rebels pinned him down. The man tried to protect  his throat with his hands, which were still tied together. He tried to resist  but they were stronger than he was and they cut his throat.

They raised his head  into the air. People waved their guns and cheered. Everyone was happy that the  execution had gone ahead.

That scene in Syria, that moment, was like a scene from the Middle Ages, the  kind of thing you read about in history books. The war in Syria has reached the  point where a person can be mercilessly killed in front of hundreds of  people—who enjoy the spectacle.

As a human being I would never have wished to see what I saw. But as a  journalist I have a camera and a responsibility. I have a responsibility to  share what I saw that day. That’s why I am making this statement and that’s why  I took the photographs. I will close this chapter soon and try never to remember  it. (link) 

The men who carried out this execution are the men who President Obama, and Secretary of State John Kerry are providing weapons to.
Will the walls of the larger Middle East contain the rabid hatred once the Jihadists run out of local victims ?   Doubtful.
Open up the Big Cat cages within any Zoo and watch what happens after the slaughter.
They’ll hop the confinement walls.
Now Fully Armed.
