Few media outlets understand the scope of the Islamic alignment forces currently battling for control in Libya; even fewer try to report on them. A recent alarming report is now confirmed.

A man named Abdelhakim Belhadj has taken the position as head of ISIS in Libya. Abdelhakim Belhadj was critical in forming “Libya Dawn”, essentially a group of Islamic militia forces (LIFG or Libyan Islamic Fighting Groups) who fought under various banners such as Ansar al-Sharia (al-Qaeda in Libya) and the Muslim Brotherhood.

However, Abdelhakim Belhadj was also supported by the U.S. and more specifically Senator’s Graham and McCain in the lead up to the current crisis which no-one will call a civil war because of political fear – yet that is exactly what exists. Abdelhakim Belhadj taking the position as head of ISIS in Libya now all but guarantees Libya will be an Islamist Militant State.

[Via Counter Jihad] … Major news out of Libya as the former head of the Al Qaeda-linked Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, and a major player in the U.S.-backed overthrow of Mummar Gaddafi, has reportedly joined the Islamic State and is leading its forces there. This according to The Blaze National Security journalist Sara Carter on twitter, and Fox News’ Catherine Herridge in a Fox News report.

To prove the Netanyahu speech was political, the Democrats pull a political stunt and boycotted the speech.  However, their ignorance doesn’t stop them from quickly joining in apoplectic fits to ridicule the delivery of the message.

Nancy Pelosi grabs her pearls, steadies her shaking sensibilities, and opines she was in tears, TEARS, as she listened to the outline of how dangerous it would be for Iran to gain nuclear weapon capability. Not tears of worry for Israel, but rather tears that Dear Leader Obama’s claim to the contrary is being undermined:

[…]  That is why, as one who values the U.S. – Israel relationship, and loves Israel, I was near tears throughout the Prime Minister’s speech – saddened by the insult to the intelligence of the United States as part of the P5 +1 nations, and saddened by the condescension toward our knowledge of the threat posed by Iran and our broader commitment to preventing nuclear proliferation.

Nancy Pelosi and the entire contingent of the Congressional Black Caucus ran out of the chamber as soon as Prime Minister Netanyahu was finished delivering his speech. (more…)

UPDATE: Here’s Video of the full speech:

Last week Secretary John Kerry said no-one should trust anyone else’s opinion on the Iranian deal/negotiations because no-one knows the specifics.

However, if that’s accurate, then why is Kerry/Obama claiming today they are concerned about “leaks” and worried about what Benjamin Netanyahu may, or may not, say tomorrow?

An article today highlights the Obama administration’s decision to cut Israel out of the information pipeline due to the possibility that Israel would expose the details of any intelligence information.

This is a ridiculous U.S. assertion for multiple reasons; not the least of which is A.) Israel has far more accurate intelligence regarding Iran, and, B.) Israel would be the recipient of any adverse consequence from such a security compromise.

What President Obama and Secretary Kerry are more likely concerned with is Netanyahu exposing a reality that Obama and Kerry are hiding information and misleading congress. (more…)

Yes, Secretary Kerry actually said that in response to ABC’s Martha Raddatz challenging Kerry on the administration talking points vs. the reality of what is actually taking place in Iraq.

Obviously President Obama looked like a fool when he proclaimed the victims of the Kosher market killings were just a bunch “of random folks” because he wanted desperately to remain willfully blind and disconnect the hateful ideology of the Islamist killer away from Muslim sensibility.

But the latest revelations of what actually took place inside that market make Obama’s foolishness appear even more foolish.

The British media are outlining what took place within the Jewish market.

Details have emerged of footage filmed by Paris gunman Amedy Coulibaly during a bloody rampage inside a Jewish supermarket, a French website says.

He delivers an anti-Semitic rant and shouts “Stand up or I’ll kill you” at hostages, according to a transcript obtained by Le Nouvel Observateur. […]

Investigators are examining seven minutes 45 seconds of footage apparently filmed by Coulibaly on a GoPro camera worn during the siege, according to reports.

It shows him shouting “Nobody move”, before grabbing hold of a customer, asking his name, and then shooting him dead.

He asks another man what origin he is. And when the hostage replies “Jewish”, he kills him too. (more…)

Interesting article in the Washington Post describing the real life identity of “Jihadi John”, the ISIS executioner who has been seen on numerous ISIS video’s executing hostages. The executioner is identified as a rather affluent Kuwaiti national who grew up and lived in London’s west side. The details are interesting.

LONDON — The world knows him as “Jihadi John,” the masked man with a British accent who has beheaded several hostages held by the Islamic State and who taunts audiences in videos circulated widely online.

But his real name, according to friends and others familiar with his case, is Mohammed Emwazi, a Briton from a well-to-do family who grew up in West London and graduated from college with a degree in computer programming. He is believed to have traveled to Syria around 2012 and to have later joined the Islamic State, the group whose barbarity he has come to symbolize.

“I have no doubt that Mohammed is Jihadi John,” said one of Emwazi’s close friends who identified him in an interview with The Washington Post. “He was like a brother to me. . . . I am sure it is him.” (read more)

We have some really great folks on our team inside the rebel alliance.  Dennis Michael Lynch is fearless and fierce.  Bill Whittle is excellent in oration, delivery and intellectual armorment; and the way Dan Joseph asks the “why” questions, the timing and the use of silence, makes him a brilliant presenter. Watch:

As previously mentioned, there is a growing body of evidence reflecting the next strategy in the psychological operations being used by ISIS.  Essentially, the chatter is claiming that the captured Christian hostages, the Assyrians’, were specifically taken so that ISIS could put together a message for U.S. President Barack Obama.

It is difficult to know how much credibility to assign to these claims.   There is also a growing conversation about how Obama’s refusal to identify the religious motivation of  ISIS could also be driving the jihadists to intensify their ‘religious targeting’ in an effort to make Western Leaders (who refuse to identify the authentic Islam behavior of ISIS) seem like they are foolish, weak and afraid.

SYRIA – ISIS is clearly feeling the pain after weeks of intense air strikes against it by the U.S.- led coalition fighting the spread of the terrorist organization in the Middle East.

Employing its familiar tactics, the Islamic State is now threatening to execute the 150 Assyrian Christians they have taken hostage in Syria.

Even while making the arrests, of suspected terrorists, the federal authorities maintain the air of political correctness:

“As alleged, the defendants looked to join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant by flying to Turkey in a vain attempt to evade detection. And one of the defendants was prepared to commit acts of terror here —in America— if he could not travel, to include killing FBI agents.

The defendants violated the true tenants of their faith in pursuit of their radical, violent agenda. We rely on help from the community, the public, and religious leaders to be mindful of those who could be radicalized. We cannot do this alone,”….

Obviously the same sensitive definitions would not be allowed if the pesky jihadists were Amish…. so sayeth FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge Rodriguez. (more…)
