ALAN KORNMAN: COUNTER-TERRORISM- THE RIGHT APPROACH AND SOLUTIONS
http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/counter-terrorism-the-right-approach-and-solutions?f=puball
On a chilly Thursday night while most of Orlando residents were at home keeping warm Wallace Bruschweiler was connecting the dots on terrorist cell operations from the 1970’s to today.
Mr. Bruschweiler was in the field disrupting the terrorist activities of the Baader-Meinhof Group, Red Brigades, Action Directe, IRA, and ETA. These groups were responsible for over 296 bomb attacks, arson, counterfeiting, murder, kidnapping, kneecapping, assassinations, to further their left-wing anti-colonialist / Communist politics.
The lessons learned from fighting the terrorist groups of the 1970’s is relevant today as we fight Jihadi’s moving their agenda of Islamic Expansionism into the West.
Terrorism is defined as the systematic use of violence to achieve a political objective. Mr. Brushweiler says understanding the definition is something the majority of the American people get. It is the business model the terrorists use that is the important element in understanding the issues behind the headlines. The mainstream press and academia have done a great disservice to the American people by focusing on the gruesome effects of terrorist operations rather than the solutions needed to combat the philosophical, political, and ideological roots of modern terrorism.
What the American people yearn for is someone to explain the structure of how terrorist groups operate freely inside the United States using our free and open society to their greatest tactical advantage.
The first clue in unraveling this mystery of terrorism is information Mr. Bruschweiler gathered while conducting counter terrorist operations against many terrorists group only a few short decades ago. To confuse law enforcement, the Red Brigades used the names of approximately 500 terrorist groups to appear bigger and more numerous than in reality they were. The effect of this successful tactic resulted in law enforcement spending time and resources going after empty terrorist shells rather than cutting off the head of the terrorist snake. Islamic terrorists today are using this same methodology to confuse the American people.
What Does It Take To Get Our Country Back
“On 9/11 Bin Laden outsmarted us and got what he really wanted. It wasn’t only to terrorize the West, but to get the USA out of the Middle East. Today, Egypt is no longer a friendly country towards us for very specific reasons. Saudi Arabia was the first to realize this when President Obama threw Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak under the bus.”
“Vladimir Putin is accepting 40,000 Christians from the Middle East. Obama just took in 4,000 Muslims from Syria. Two days ago an Egyptian journalist declared we must attack Hamas in Gaza until they kiss the Egyptian shoes. We should teach them a lesson like Israel did.” This is today’s situation in the Middle East and how the Middle East looks at us.
“In Iraq we lost 4,000 soldiers, pumped billions into the country to liberate it. Today, the Ayatollahs and Mullahs in Iran are running the country of Iraq.”
“The wolf is guarding the hen house in Washington DC. Six men of strange Muslim Brotherhood backgrounds are directly responsible to the White House.” Those men are Arif Alikhan, Mohammed Elibiary, Rashad Hussain, Salam al-Marayati, Imam Mohamed Magid, and Eboo Patel.”
“My message is very clear, we have to stop Islamic expansionism and stop importing trouble. This can be accomplished by a complete Congressional overhaul of the Refugee Resettlement Act and slowing down Muslim immigration from terrorist supporting countries until we can properly vet the lives of these refugees.”
President Obama’s current policies regarding a Nuclear Iran are eerily reminiscent of Chamberlain negotiating ‘Peace In our Time’ with the Adolf Hitler. I believe our current policy of appeasement is dangerous and misguided.
On the domestic political front, “We need more candidates like Colonel Allen West, Michelle Bachmann, and so on.”
“I want to give you a little sideline about the Jewish vote in the United States. I was surprised by the fact Jews vote 75-80% Democrat. In my modest opinion, there is a reason for that. Remember, Israel was born in 1948 as a Socialist State. The movement of Kibbutzim was a Socialist movement. Today, the Kibbutzim exist only by name. The Kibbutzim who survive today are very successful capitalist enterprises. The older Jewish populations in Miami, Orlando, New York, Los Angeles, etc have brought the Kibbutzim mentality to their communities and are reluctant to evolve. They must finally see that the policies of the Democratic party do not have Israel’s best interests at heart.
The most prolific killers of Muslims in the Middle East are not American’s or Israelis, it is Muslim on Muslim violence. This is an untold story: Did you know that Jordan’s King Hussein killed in 48 hours more Arabs than Israel in all her wars since 1948. King Hussein got fed up with what was going on in his kingdom and gave carte blanche to his army and they killed 15,000 Palestinian Arabs with allegiance to Arafat.
The rest fled, many of the high ranking Palestinian officers crossed into Israel asking for protection, the rest went to Lebanon via the Chouf area. The Druze said they wanted $100 for each Palestinian crossing into Lebanon and earned a lot of money. That is how Arafat escaped and established himself in Beirut.
Today in Iraq and Syria, Sunni and Shia Muslims are murdering each other on a daily basis as they wrestle for power and avenge tribal disagreements going back hundreds of years. There are no ‘good guys’ in this never ending civil war. The only time the Sunni and Shia combine forces is to wage war or commit terrorist activities against a common enemy. This same formula holds true for Benghazi in Libya.
All I will say about Benghazi, is that all the lies spit out about what happened there was smoke and mirrors cleverly used to help President Obama’s 2012 reelection. Let’s not forget the Naval Air Station Sigonella, Italy is only 90 minutes from Benghazi and I will leave it there for you to make your own conclusions.
This is the one thing I insist that people have to understand. Do not disregard messages issued by terrorists, what they write or say in videos, they will definitely try to execute. What the terrorist say is vitally important to our national security. The NSA is tasked with tracking communications of terrorists and their supporters, both domestic and foreign. If you look behind the anti-NSA headlines you will often see the people screaming the loudest are Muslim Brotherhood groups operating on US soil.
I personally have no problem with having all my calls and emails checked, I have nothing to hide. The thing is that with all this collection of meta data by the NSA is that its humanly impossible to connect the hundreds of millions of dots. Our government has to have the human intelligence at the ground level to be really effective. The example for this is the recent Boston bombing. The Russians gave us names, dates, places about the Tsarnaev brothers. The result was an unchallenged successful terrorist attack. I have great regards and admiration for the people in Law Enforcement and the intelligence community because they often have to operate in the shadows. We have to be right 100% of the time the terrorists only have to be right once.
A big mistake America did was for Jimmy Carter to send Khomeini back to Tehran in 1979. The United States and France thought he was a decent and religious man and we got ourselves into big trouble. There are clear connections between The Muslim Brotherhood and this pivotal event in American foreign policy history. There is a strong suspicion Ahmadinejad was the mastermind behind the American hostage crisis. In Egypt the assassination of Anwar Sadat was coordinated and executed by The Muslim Brotherhood.
Americans today must understand that our Southern borders are weak and being exploited by the Muslim Brotherhood movement. The names of these terrorist groups are irrelevant because they are merely franchises of the Muslim Brotherhood, it doesn’t matter if they are Shia or Sunni. From a feature wise point of view Mexicans and South Americans are physically similar to Arabs. Arab operatives in Mexico, Venezuela, and the South American tri-border area are trained to hide their true identity from American law enforcement, if captured crossing through our porous southern borders.
Stopping this massive illegal immigration flood into the United States is now a top National Security issue. The illegal immigrants have even tainted our voting system. The solution should be every voter must have an identification card showing U.S. citizenship. Unfortunately, the liberal Democrats can bank on these illegal immigrants becoming a large voting bloc and will use them as a vehicle to stay in office.
Fighting terrorism is a dirty business and our Russian friends are not afraid to do what is necessary at times. Here is a case study on how the Russians successfully dealt with the Shiite Muslim Amal Movement who later morphed into Hezbollah in Beirut. In 1985, The Amal terrorists kidnapped four Soviet diplomats, killing one in the process. Sheikh Fadlallah was the mastermind behind the kidnapping. The Soviets sent in the Alpha Group who had local hoodlums kidnap a distant cousin of Sheikh Fadlallah and told him that if you do not release our diplomats we will send your cousin back to you piece by piece. Soon thereafter, the Soviet diplomats were released and Fadlallah’s cousin was returned minus fingers and hands. From that day onward, terrorists never kidnapped another Soviet/Russian diplomat for fear of a swift retribution. The point of this story is to illustrate that successful counter terrorism measures, at times, must resort to using the same brutality of the terrorists to send a clear message that terrorist operations will result in dire consequences. By the way, this Alpha Group is currently operating in the area of the Sochi Olympics.
Why do people think twice about engaging the Israelis? You must understand that if Israel makes one mistake there will be a holocaust. Second, they have a very dynamic and elastic intelligence apparatus. The Israelis are pro active not reactive. They have, at any time, thousands of scenarios on their desk. For each incident they know what to do and execute it immediately. Take Benghazi and its been over a year and nothing has happened. The result is the terrorists do not fear the Americans which only leads to more terrorism. I’m sorry to have to tell you all this but these facts are the root of the problem.
For example, when three Israelis were murdered by Arafat’s Force 17 unit in Larnaca, Cyprus. The following day, the Israeli Air Force pinpointed key personnel around Arafats compound in Hammamet, Tunisia killing them and purposefully leaving Arafat untouched. The Israelis did this to send a very clear message to Arafat that, “we can get to you at anytime of our choosing.”
This is the point I must return to the Benghazi incident and go a little deeper. The Muslim Brotherhood had their fingers in Benghazi. We played the wrong card in Egypt by insisting on having a fraudulent election and putting Morsi into that place. Morsi as far as I’m concerned is The Muslim Brotherhood and our military experts know The Brotherhood had their hand in Benghazi. Ambassador Stephens was there on a very specific mission. That mission was to arrange with the Turkish Ambassador to Libya, a shipment of weapons to Syria. It is ridiculous that we dance around this, it doesn’t make any sense.
Please, from now on, when you hear names of various terrorist organizations, forget the name, its The Muslim Brotherhood. People tell me that not all Muslims are bad and in that I agree. In my travels throughout Europe, Middle East, and North Africa as a tourist or in some other capacity, I have befriended selected Muslims and maintain those friendships today. However, one can not escape the fact that the majority of terrorist events around the world are committed by the followers of Islam in order to achieve their political ends. My Muslim friends taught me, the ultimate goal of these terrorist events are to further the Islamic expansion and Caliphate around the world.
This is the way I see the problem we need to fix. Visualize a pyramid with the top being the Islamic Expansion/Caliphate. Below that is the Muslim Brotherhood who are the soldiers of the Islamic Expansion. If you remember correctly The Muslim Brotherhood was created in Egypt by Al-Banna, a Sunni, in 1928. Today there is no difference between the Sunni and Shiites in that they join forces in furthering the common goal of Islamic Expansionism and the Caliphate. They don’t care how and when, they have years, decades, and millennia to get there. So therefore, the difference between the Sunni and Shiites forget it. Sunni’s fighting Shiites, Shiites fighting Sunni’s forget it ,they are all under the name of The Muslim Brotherhood – that is the threat we have.
Take Iraq for example it is made up of 72 Tribes. A tribe is a large family and they rule by force or agreement with another tribe. Then we come in as a very clever white man and we will redraw your borders. It is insane these borders, you have families that were uprooted who can’t travel freely from one border to another. In the minds of many Middle Eastern tribes they don’t recognize the borders in their hearts and deep down they hate us Infidel Americans and Europeans for it. It is sheer lunacy sending Mr. John Kerry or any other official to make peace, peace with what? Peace with people who don’t want to make peace – I will never understand that stuff.
Let me be very clear hear – to understand the Middle East one must understand Tribalism. In America we have 50 separate States under One America. It is the opposite in the Middle East – It is hundreds if not thousands of Hatfield and McCoy family tribes fighting for power and resources one day and joining forces the next to fight any perceived enemy of Islam.
I go back to my earlier comment about six Muslim Brotherhood operatives with ties to The White House. United States Federal court documents dating back to 1991 show The Muslim Brotherhood has at least 29 named franchises operating freely in the United States. The Muslim Student Association, Islamic Society of North America, Muslim Arab Youth Association, Islamic Circle of North America to name a few. Since 1991 the two most well know Muslim Brotherhood front groups are The Council On American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC).
The Muslim Brotherhood uses all these front groups to confuse the issues. Then they come out with excuses that we are collecting money for the widows and orphans – all baloney. This is like the Mafia handing out free turkeys on Thanksgiving. It is a false front to cover the stench of the drugs, counterfeiting, prostitution, and murders.
Solutions For The People
Today’s academia is forming our next generation and they are mostly leftists and a disaster. The other problem is the family. I am opposed to those families who do not have meals together and discuss issues of the day together. This is where it starts and all of us should look at this and try to change things for the positive, beginning at your dinner table. You sit down with your family and talk about matters important to us and them.
People always ask me for the solutions to these worlds problems. Earlier, I said you can help to get the right people elected to office. Let’s face it, getting involved in the electoral process is a commitment the majority of American’s are not able or I’m sad to say willing to do. Sorry to tell you this but it is the truth in my humble opinion.
However, there is no excuse for not taking control of your family and sitting down for one meal together each and every day. These problems of all this terrorism, bombings, bloodshed, Islamic Expansionism, Communist threats, North Korea, a nuclear Iran are problems that will be left for our children and grandchildren to deal with in one form or another.
Let me tell you this and I will be very clear – Talking to your children about matters that are facing the family both good and bad is the first step. From these discussions your children will see they are not the center of the universe. They will begin to understand the economics and hardships of keeping a family together, putting food on the table, paying the mortgage, and keeping gas in the car. And by your example your kids will love and respect you more and as they see you concerned about Islamic Terrorism and a nuclear Iran they too will become interested and be a part of the solution not a part of the problem.
