Judicial Watch reports what the media don't/won't (as usual), and the news is grim:

Islamic terrorist groups are operating in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez and planning to attack the United States with car bombs or other vehicle born improvised explosive devices (VBIED). High-level federal law enforcement, intelligence and other sources have confirmed to Judicial Watch that a warning bulletin for an imminent terrorist attack on the border has been issued.  Agents across a number of Homeland Security, Justice and Defense agencies have all been placed on alert and instructed to aggressively work all possible leads and sources concerning this imminent terrorist threat.

Specifically, Judicial Watch sources reveal that the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) is confirmed to now be operating in Juarez, a famously crime-infested narcotics hotbed situated across from El Paso,...

Reading the riveting Level Zero Heroes: The Story of U.S. Marine Special Operations In Bala Murghab, Afghanistan by Michael Golembesky and John R. Bruning, which comes out next week from St Martin's Press.

Summation, p. 211:

What the f- is going on here, this is madness. I'm dropping warning bombs on empty hillsides as the men around me are fighting for their lives.

An overheard conversation between top Nazis Goering (front left) and von Ribbentrop (front, second from right) set off the chain of events revealing to the public the existence of the Hitler-Stalin Pact's "secret protocol," which included evidence of Soviet war crimes committed in tandem with the Nazis. The Allies suppressed the document at the Nuremberg trials.

Today is the 75th anniverary of the non-aggression pact between the Hitler and Stalin, the latter becoming (after Hitler attacked Stalin on June 22, 1941) the member of the "Big Three" known as "Uncle Joe." In the commemorative essays discussing the twin dictators' earlier alliance of August 23, 1939, which would be followed by Hitler and Stalin's conquest of Poland the following month, the pact's secret protocol that divided the nations of central and Eastern Europe between them is also mentioned. I have yet to see, however,...

This week's syndicated column

One thing an old Ivy League revolutionary can’t stand is people noticing that he represents the Establishment, that he embodies the System to a point where he can make it stop and make it go. He will go to great lengths to convince himself, if not others, this is not so.

Take Eric H. Holder Jr., Columbia College Class of 1973, Columbia Law School Class of 1976, now into his sixth year as U.S. attorney general of the Obama Imperium. The man really wants us to think he is not also “the man.”

Yes, he is “the attorney general of the United States,” as Holder told a group of St. Louis Community College students in Ferguson, Missouri, this week. “But I am also a black man.”

Holder took himself to Ferguson to spur the federal civil rights probe by more than 40 FBI agents into the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was black, by 28-year-old police officer...

Freddie, 7 mos., views a genuine wetland in the North Country

Re-entry to email after a restful hiatus from all things electronic became much easier on coming across this extremely generous letter of August 5.



Dear Diana West:

As you so convincingly demonstrate, Marxism, metastasizing throughout the world as communism, is purely destructive in nature. It is like Mephistopheles, who says of himself in Goethe’s Faust, “I am the spirit that always negates! And rightly so, for, all that exists deserves to perish. Therefore it were better that nothing came into existence. So then all that you call sin, destruction—in short, evil—is my actual element.”

Our affinity with Marxism’s materialistic spirit, which first arose in the West and was exported into Russia through Lenin, makes us particularly vulnerable to the powerful stealth attack of communism, which continues today to destroy our best...

Some people like crossword puzzles. Other read mysteries. If puzzles about American Betrayal are your bag, here are two new and quite interesting entries in the genre, both of which came out on August 6, one year minus one day before the 1st anniversary of the disinformation campaign that began with the tastefully titled "McCarthy on Steroids."

"Content vs. Process" by Baron Bodissey at Gates of Vienna is here.

Ronald and Di: A Linguistic Perspective" by Marten Gantelius at JRNyquist.com is here.

In case you missed, here is my latest contribution.

Enjoy.

Announcing Tattoo Zoo, a new novel by Paul Avallone, whose clarifying essays and remarkable photos have previously appeared at this website. Paul Avallone has "done" Afghanistan -- as a Green Beret there for three-plus years, as a photojournalist embedded with US Army infantry units, and now a novelist.

From Amazon:

This is the story of the courage, camaraderie and sacrifice of the men of the fictional platoon of the title, as these GIs fight a fierce Taliban in a nowhere piece of picturesque real estate called Wajma Valley, while battling a politically correct four-star command determined to prosecute the Zoosters for war crimes or simply leave them in the valley to die.

Sounds like the real deal. Congrats, Paul!

This week's syndicated column

There is something deeply shameful about the official American response to this week’s unprecedented gunning down of a U.S. Army two-star general by an Afghan army soldier.

The president of the United States says nothing for two whole days. His spokesmen lie. The media disseminate the nothingness and lies, the mass of it couched to construct the alternate universe the deceivers in power have mastered.

This deception is all-encompassing, utilizing little lies as well as big ones. For example, the attack took place inside a Kabul military training academy we are told is “Afghanistan’s West Point.” If the Afghan National Military Academy equals West Point (already absurd), then it follows that the murder of U.S. Army...

Brig. Gen. Joseph L. Osterman speaking at the 2010 opening of a new government building in Nawa, Afghanistan where he was "honored by Afghan leaders with a ceremonial headdress."

But ... did he have to put it on?

This week, Osterman became commander of the Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command.

"Not even high intelligence and a sensitive spirit are of any help once the facts of a situation are deduced from a political theory and not vice versa."

Hats off and posies to Breitbart News, a conservative website that does what others only claim to do: It provides a forum for debate.

Author’s Note: This is my response to a recent three-part series by Jeff Lipkes devoted to my book American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on Our Nation’s Character at American Thinker. It is an open letter to the writer. This marks the second time in one year that American Thinker has refused to publish my own defense of my work as written. Dear Jeff Lipkes,

When you asked me to answer questions for an article about American Betrayal and the attacks...

In this instructive, concise interview (below) with Newsmax TV's Steve Malzberg, Andy Bostom analyzes the Islamic doctrines trumpeted by Hamas in its annilihationist jihad -- not territorial war -- against the Jews of Israel. Citing the prescience and moral strength of the late historian David Littman, Andy points out that 25 years ago, six months after the Hamas convenant first appeared, Littman called on the United Nations Human Rights Council to condemn the convenant as a "blatant blueprint for genocide."

It is late indeed for governments and nations to condemn the Hamas covenant, but it is imperative that they do so.

How will future generations look back on our gravest national emergency of all time? And how will they regard what their forebears didn’t do about it?

This will include what we didn’t do about border nullification, which collapsed the U.S. as a sovereign nation. What we didn’t do about the alignment of our foreign policy with that of jihad movements, which meant the end of liberty, also life itself, for our best allies. What we didn’t do about the growth of tyranny from corruption and Marxism in this cradle of liberty.





Most of our progeny – and certainly those millions descended from the Latin American (and other) populations...
