PEAK AMERICA: Has Islam Already Defeated the USA?

The fall of a country never happens from outside forces attacking headon in “broad daylight.” Empires collapse due to internal stresses and the quiet snatching of key levers of control from within.

The more one learns about Hillary Clinton’s foundation work as well as her loyal assistant Huma Abedin already well entrenched during Ms. Clinton’s time as Secretary of State, the more it becomes apparent that Islam has already taken control of much of the froeign policy decisions of the US government.

It has recently been revealed that Huma worked as a senior employee at her mother’s radical Islamic journal as recently as 2008.  The journal attacks Western values and even decries the place of the woman in the Western world. In one such article Huma’s mother said the following:

“‘Empowerment’ of women does more harm than benefit the cause of women or their relations with men,” Saleha Mahmood Abedin maintained. “By placing women in the ‘care and protection’ of men and by making women responsible for those under her charge,” she argued, “Islamic values generate a sense of compassion in human and family relations.”

“Among all systems of belief, Islam goes the farthest in restoring equality across gender,” she claimed. “Acknowledging the very central role women play in procreation, child-raising and homemaking, Islam places the economic responsibility of supporting the family primarily on the male members.”

The issue here is not whether the values of the west in the case of “women’s liberation” should necessarily be cherished above that of traditional societies, afterall there is a lot to say for safeguarding the traditional role of women as the anchor for the household. Further more radical feminism has been noted by many outside the Islamic world as a potentialy destructive force. The real issue with having someone like Huma being in earshot of the potentially future president is not her personal values, but rather creating a gateway for clearly Wahhabist thought to be inside the oval office, if it isn’t already.

The journal also attacked America over its role in the Middle East and in doing so indicated that the 9/11 attacks were even justified.

“The spiral of violence having continued unabated worldwide, and widely seen to be allowed to continue, was building up intense anger and hostility within the pressure cooker that was kept on a vigorous flame while the lid was weighted down with various kinds of injustices and sanctions . . . It was a time bomb that had to explode and explode it did on September 11, changing in its wake the life and times of the very community and the people it aimed to serve.”

The above revelations concerning Huma’s role in her mother’s journal coupled with fact that the Clinton’s have notoriously created a pay for play relationship with terror sponsors through their foundation makes for a very dangerous development.  Of course with the eight years of open door policy concerning Islamic hate leaders under the Obama administration, Islam in the form of Muslim Brotherhood affiliated groups and other salients have been visiting the current President throughout his term.  The only difference with Hillary is that it will assurely become far more open and accepted.

TERROR ALERT: Why JFK’s False Alarm Should Be A Wake Up Call

After it had become clear that no shots were actually fired in JFKs Terminal 8, a collective sigh of relief descended on New York and America.  With all of the tense civil disturbances over the summer and increased terror attacks in Europe, an attack on JFK would essentially thrown a chaotic world over the cliff.

No attack means life can go on, yet one should not sit down so comfortably yet.  Here’s why the false report is just as dangerous or perhaps more dangerous than the real thing.

What the false report of shooting did was essentially expose how vulnerable one of busiest airports in the world is. Afterall the report of shots being fired not only emptied the terminal, but it grounded flights.  This cost airlines billions.  One false report paralyzed part of an entire airport. Know that ISIS is watching the security reaction and learning.

The question officials must ask themselves is how prepared are they for the real thing? Eventually there will be an attack.  That is how things go. So when it happens what will law enforcement to do? Right now New Yorkers and air travellers have returned to the complacent lifestyle most Americans are used to, yet if they don’t take these threats more seriously the good old days will be long gone. Terror is a state of mind not just physical harm.  The reaction by the security services and panicked travellers exhibit a state of terror, with or without shots being fired.

PEAK AMERICA: Leftist Jew Defaces Hallel Ariel Memorial at Queens Synagogue

The Sons of Israel Congregation of Long Island City in Queens had a bit of a shock over Shabbat. A pro-Palestinian leftist Jew defaced a memorial sign the congregation had put up in memory of 13-year-old Hallel Ariel killed over a month ago in her sleep in Kiryat Arba, by a 17 year old Arab terrorist.

One of the shul goers caught the vandal in the act nearby. The vandal began to shout at the congregant: “How dare you support an occupation who treats the Palestinian’s like the Nazi’s who persecuted my grandfather’s family in Europe.”

Before the altercation could get worse, a woman across the street ran over to help the congregant and chased the vandal away.

Incidents across America, especially on college campuses have increased as young students have bought into pro-Palestinian propaganda. This incident is especially troubling, because it took place at a place of worship and the perpetrator was a fellow Jew.

PEAK AMERICA: Hacking the DNC is Just the Beginning

Whether it was Russia or a dead DNC staffer that leaked or better said hacked the DNC email system, the damage has been done.  To most people in the USA, it was a passing story, but the truth is that one has to be naive to think America’s most important data is safe.  While other countries are learning to build better and safer systems to protect sensitive data, America lags behind.

In fact, back in April NBC ran a story about an Iranian hacking into a control center of a NY dam.  It was the first time such a hack occurred using simple Google searches.

“While foreign nation-state hacking into U.S. infrastructure is common and growing in scope and sophistication, the dam hack is significant because prosecutors say it’s the first time a simple, search engine-driven hack of a piece of U.S. infrastructure has surfaced as the tool of choice. It’s also the first time federal indictment tied a foreign state to the hacking of critical U.S. assets, ” the NBC report said.

Essentially, the USA is far behind most of its enemies.  This has implications for security, but it also has an implication on how Americans can be influenced by bad actors wanting to shape and shift public opinion.  We see this clearly in this year’s election, where WikiLeaks holds the cards to the outcome in November.

If America, wants to protect itself and society it needs to learn how to better deal with information protection in both the public and private sectors.

Israel, Trump, and the End of the Neoconservative Agenda

Whether Trump wins or loses, his focus on neutering what has become a foreign policy dedicated to interventionism and regime change maybe the Donald’s lasting accomplishment. No where else has Trump succeeded in proving to various constituents that interventionism is a failed policy of the neo-conservative elite from both parties.

Many Israel observers are wrong when they suggest that an American policy shift away from actively intervening in foreign conflicts will ultimately be bad for Israel.  The assumption is that a non-engaged America leaves Israel without protection.

The truth is quite the opposite. neoconservative is about projecting American power in ways that ensures a lopsided relationship with allies. In 2005, the Bush administration, with neoconservative principles forced Israel to give up the Gaza strip and was intent on using a weak Olmert to pull Jews out of their historic heartland in Judea and Samaria. For the neocons that ran Bush’s adminstration, it was far better a small Israel dependent on the USA than a larger and stronger Israel that could stand on its own two feet.

Although one can blame Obama for much of the chaos in the Middle East, neocons in both parties pushed an agenda of destabilization in order to assert control.  This has backfired and so has interventionism in general.  One, because it does not work and two, because of the steep price tag attached.

Trump may not grasp the finer points of foreign policy.  He doesn’t have to.  Foreign policy is often times just good common sense.  Perhaps the most intelligent thing America can do is stay out of their allies’ business.
