Several key strategic incidents occurring today which will lead to a bigger story soon to surface. It bodes well to understand the day-to-day strategic positioning, which lends to understanding what is about to happen. The media will not report on these individual examples, nor are they disposed to connect the dots of consequence.

First, a widespread and strategic attack by ISIS against several targets in the Northern Sinai region has taken place. At least 25 members of Egyptian military and civilians have been killed. Ansar Beit al-Maqdis has been outlined as responsible for the attacks.
The Islamists within Ansar Beit al-Maqdis were initially inspired by al-Qaida, but last year the group pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, which controls large parts of Syria and Iraq.
This follows an uptick in calls for the assassination of Egypt’s President Fattah al-Sisi by the Muslim Brotherhood. Additionally, and to support their efforts, the Brotherhood were hosted last week by members of the U.S. Obama administration.
Both Ansar Beit al-Maqdis and the Muslim Brotherhood are coordinating against al-Sisi, especially in the Northern Sinai region following Sisi’s imposition of a curfew last October.

[…] The areas where the attacks took place have been under a state of emergency and a curfew since October, when militants killed dozens of soldiers in a deadly attack on a checkpoint in Sinai.
In an attempt to stop weapons smuggling to and from the Gaza Strip, authorities demolished houses and residential buildings located within 500 meters of the border, where a complex network of tunnels had long been used to bring consumer goods, as well as weapons and fighters, to and from the Palestinian territory.

The action by al-Sisi destroyed the network being used by ISIS, the Brotherhood and Iran to funnel weapons to HAMAS in Gaza. Now the rabid Islamists are moving to fight back.
Sisi now faces an alignment of President Obama, Hamas, ISIS and Ansar Beit al-Maqdis against him in Eqypt. Meanwhile the Western border of Egypt with Libya continues to grow in Islamist severity as Libya devolves further into chaos.
Secondly, after the collapse of Yemeni government, the Southern Saudi Border becomes -yet again- an immediate danger to stability interests. In preparation for the resurgence of AQAP (al-Qaeda in Arabian Peninsular), similar to what led to the U.S.S Cole attack, the Pentagon is positioning assets ready to engage inside the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea.
The Horn of Africa becomes a tenuous yet strategic location:

About 30 California Air National Guardsmen from the 129th Rescue Wing deployed from here to the Horn of Africa, Saturday, January 24 in order to provide combat rescue support to ongoing operations there.

Pararescuemen (PJs) and Combat Rescue Officers (CROs) of the wing’s 131st Rescue Squadron will be the primary personnel recovery force for Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA) during their four month deployment. These Air Guardsmen are trained to execute personnel recovery missions anywhere in the world. From arid deserts to snow covered mountain tops, from urban environments to rural setting, PJs and CROs can reach any destination by land, air or sea.

“The 129th Rescue Wing has been preparing and training for this deployment for the past six months,” said Col. Gregory F. Jones, 129th Rescue Wing Commander. “Our airmen are ready to bring the same level of professionalism we demonstrated in our past rescue missions to the Horn of Africa.”

While deployed these airmen will be supporting CJTF-HOA’s ongoing multinational, joint, interagency, intergovernmental counter insurgency and stabilization operations throughout the region.

“Mission failure is not an option for us and this mindset permeates every aspect of our operational training and employment,” said Lt. Col. Jeff Borg, 131st Rescue Squadron Commander. “Our PJs and CROs will face some challenging environmental conditions during this deployment and have spent the last six months training specifically towards this area of operation. These airmen are world class athletes standing by to come to someone else’s aid.” (more)

In a world filled with intentionally increasing danger, it is more important than ever to speak the truth clearly and boldly.  We are in a dangerous position with President Obama who supports the Muslim Brotherhood and yet has 2 more years in office.
In essence…
