The Enemy That's Out Of Sight, Iran Has U.S. Navy GPS Equipment, Will Prove 'American Ships Were Snooping', War On Cash

The enemy that's out of sight

The threat of Islamic terror is constant.  Violence may erupt anywhere.  Unexpectedly.  That’s the nature of terror.  And it’s happening more and more, with less and less time between events.  Most recently, as AT readers know, a Philadelphia police officer was shot by a Muslim barbarian who pledged his allegiance to ISIS.  And now it appears he may be linked to a terror cell.

But perhaps more disturbing than this and other overt acts of Islamic terror is the insidious advance of the Muslim Brotherhood (M.B.) that has reached its deadly tentacles into every aspect of our society with the goal of “eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ it’s miserable house by their hands … so … that God’s religion [Islam] is made victorious over all other religions.”

So as we witness the rise of Islamic terror here and around the world, the M.B. continues its stealth advance, grabbing territory in institutions and in people’s minds, including the minds of our children, who are being brainwashed thanks in large part to the powerful influence of the M.B. in our education system.

It was, therefore, with great interest that I listened to a recently released videoof Daniel Greenfield speaking on the topic of the Muslim Brotherhood, and I wanted to share what he had to say.  (Greenfield is one of the finest minds and writers around.  His work can be found here and here.)

Greenfield’s 10-minute video presentation focuses on what he calls the “caliphate curve,” which he defines as “a measure of how fast Muslim groups seek to bring back the Caliphate.”  Where Islamic organizations fall on the curve “is not based on some delusion about how moderate or how extreme the group is, but based on how quickly … it seeks to achieve the caliphate.”

Greenfield notes that the speed with which a group seeks to bring back the caliphate determines its tactics.  But irrespective of the speed or tactic, the goal is the same.  The faster they want to bring the caliphate into the being, the more extreme their tactics will be, as evidenced by ISIS, which employs a shocking level of violence, because it works to expand the caliphate quickly.  Greenfield makes clear that the murders, rapes, and torture they inflict is the caliphate.

He suggests that the level of barbarity employed by ISIS “is not an aberration,” but is precisely what the caliphate has always looked like, dating back to the time of Mohammed, as he reminds listeners that barbaric practices are a norm in the Muslim world, even in modern times.

Speaking about the M.B., Greenfield asserts they aren’t more moderate than ISIS just because they kill fewer people.  In fact, he sees the M.B. as a far greater threat to us than ISIS.  And his point is well taken.

Greenfield notes that the M.B., like all Islamic organizations, wants to achieve the same thing (the caliphate) but uses tactics that advance more slowly than organizations like ISIS.  The MB works toward the goal “gradually, using modern, political methods.”  But whether you take the long road or the short one, all roads lead to the same place.  He notes that ISIS is doing now what it will take the M.B. 100 years to accomplish, but that “we are not at war with ISIS or with the M.B.  Rather, we are at war with everyone on the caliphate curve.”

Greenfield states, “ISIS is, in some ways, our least dangerous enemy.”  We could easily destroy ISIS, but we don’t because we won’t.  On the other hand, the M.B. is deeply embedded in a wide range of organizations in the West and wields enormous control.  Whereas ISIS controls areas in failed states like Syria and Iraq, the M.B. exercises control throughout the West, stating: “We could bomb Raqqa, but could we bomb Dearborn, Jersey City, or Irvine?  This is where the caliphate truly reaches its most terrifying potential.”

Iran Has US Navy GPS Equipment, Will Prove 'American Ships Were Snooping'

Iran's semiofficial Fars new agency reported the two US Navy boats detained in the Persian Gulf had illegally traveled more than a mile into Iran's territorial waters, and that GPS equipment confiscated by Islamic Revolutionary Guards Navy forces would "prove that the American ships were 'snooping' around in Iranian waters."

Ten American service members were arrested in the encounter, the New York Times reported, citing Tabnak, a semiofficial Iranian website. 

The Pentagon reported earlier Tuesday that it briefly lost contact with two small US Navy boats operating in the Persian Gulf. The vessels were picked up by Iran, which has assured Washington that both ships and all crew members would be returned to the US "promptly."

Military officials told NBC News that up to ten US sailors were on a training mission around noon ET when one of the vessels — small riverines — began experiencing mechanical difficulties and drifted into Iranian waters. The sailors were detained by Iranian forces and were being held on Farsi Island in the Gulf.

The Daily Beast later reported the sailors — reportedly 9 men and one woman — would be held through US President Barack Obama's State of the Union address in Washington on Tuesday evening, and through Wednesday.  The publication cited senior defense officials.  Two US officials confirmed to Reuters that it was unlikely the sailors would be released overnight.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards confirmed the seizure of the US boats, and reported that the sailors are alive and well. 

Why America Should be Worried About China’s New Military Base in Africa

China’s plans to build a military base in Djibouti could be the first step toward Beijing’s deeper involvement in Africa – a strategy that should make the United States "very nervous," according to journalist James Poulos.

Last year, China began talks with Djibouti to install a "logistics hub" and airfield in the east African nation.

The United States, which also has military installations in Djibouti, raised concerns about China’s expanding sphere of influence. According to James Poulos, writing for The Week, Washington is right to be worried.

"Thanks to the much different challenges and priorities facing both powers, African intervention is shaping up as a feast for China and a famine for the US," Poulos writes.

Djibouti’s geostrategic location along the Red Sea, as well as its stable government, make it an ideal spot for both the US and China. But while Washington has used its military bases in Africa to launch drone operations, Beijing’s installation will be just the latest of many investments made on the continent.

"China operates in Africa with greater aplomb and with more nuanced and mutually beneficial relationships than America’s corporations and its federal [government]," the Council of Foreign Relations notes in a blog post. "The USG’s most visible diplomatic effort in Africa, Power Africa, is sputtering. American businesses haven’t sufficiently picked up the slack."

"While China is free to pursue its economic and financial interests with clarity and focus, allowing its military and political agenda to unfold accordingly," he writes, "Washington finds itself scrambling to keep up with a sour security situation that doesn’t play to its strengths.

As China makes progress in Africa, the United States appears to be on the decline.

"Although al-Shabab’s influence has been significantly reduced, nearby Ethiopia just booted the US out of a drone base Washington had hoped to expand…" Poulos writes. "In other words, as China sets up shop in Djibouti, the US finds itself restricted to that country for its eastern African operations – a precarious toehold in a competitive environment.

"This year, it [Africa] could become a new albatross for the US – and a new lifeline for China."

Second Largest Coal Producer Declares Bankruptcy

Arch Coal, the second largest coal producer in the U.S., filled for bankruptcy Monday.

The Company made the announcement after the pressure from their large debt holding, to the tune of $4.5 million, become to much to burden.  Layoffs and mine closures may be imminent.

Several other companies have also filed in recent years, as environmental policies have hampered the industry, as well as and promises by President Obama to bankrupt the industry.

In an interview on TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles, Robert Murray, CEO of Murray Energy, one of few remaining coal companies, said he remembers Obama’s exact words.

“Obama is the greatest destroyer that America has ever seen, not just our coal industry and the lives and the people in it, but also of our magnificent power grid, a staple of life,” he said.

Murray has said the result is that energy costs have skyrocketed, and low and fixed income people cannot afford to pay their electric bills.

Brian Ricketts, head of the European Association for Coal and Lignite said the U.N. is hoodwinking the public into believing all fossil fuels are bad to justify the energy price hikes. The result is that the poor cannot afford the higher rates, which allows the government usher in government subsidies, keeping the government in control.

“It is a political power grab of America’s power grid. It’s anti-capitalistic, anti-American, but it’s their goal,” Murray said.

The International War On Cash

Back in 2008, I began warning of increasing capital controls that we would see in the future, as a component in the decline of Western economies (Western in the broad sense, including Japan, Australia, etc.)

Along the way, it occurred to me that, at some point, governments might collectively attempt to eliminate paper currency in favour of an electronic currency - transferred from party to party solely through licensed banks. Sound farfetched? Well, maybe, but what if the U.S. and EU agreed on an overall plan, then suggested it to other governments? On the face of it, this smacks of conspiracy theory, yet certainly, all governments would benefit from this control and would be likely to get on board. In fact, it might prove to be the only way out of their present economic problems.

So, how would it play out? Here’s roughly how I saw Phase I:

• Link the free movement of cash to terrorism (Create a consciousness that any movement of large sums suggests criminal activity.);
• Establish upper limits on the amount of money that can be moved without reporting to some government investigatory agency;
• Periodically lower those limits;
• Accustom people to making all purchases, however small or large, through a bank card;
• Create a consciousness that the mere possession of cash is suspect, since it’s no longer “necessary”.

This issue has expanded more quickly than I’d anticipated. Clearly, the governments that are forcing it into being are running out of time. There can only be one reason why they’d rush a programme that normally would be given more time for people to accept, and that’s that they see a crash coming before they can get Phase II of the programme underway.

 Phase II will be the second wave of measures and they will be more draconian than Phase I:

• Create a definitive false flag event that demonstrates how physical cash is the primary means of funding evil acts in the world;
• Declare a date on which paper currency will become illegal (Until that date, it can be deposited into a bank. After that date, it becomes criminal to possess it.);
• Once all cash has been deposited in banks, increase negative interest rates;
• Confiscation of deposits can then be implemented, as desired, by banks (Confiscation of deposits is already legal in Canada, the U.S., and the EU.);
• Confiscate contents of selected safe deposit boxes;
• End “voluntary” taxation. All taxation will, in future, be by direct debit;
• Declare money to be the property of the State that issued it. (The people are allowed to trade in it, but it is not truly theirs. The State therefore can freeze or confiscate the funds in any account, if any crime is “suspected”.).

Once Phase II is completed, state wealth control will exist. And, again, this prediction will seem at first glance to be Orwellian - a mere fiction. But then, less than a year ago, the War on Cash was regarded by only a few as being even within the realm of possibility, let alone right around the corner. And so it is with Phase II. Now that Phase I is in motion, it’s accepted as an unsettling reality, but Phase II is the obvious sequel.

"Doomsday" Passes Over America Several Times Almost Every Day

Several times almost every day, many times every week, North Korean satellite KMS 3-2 passes over North America and the US. Capable of carrying a hydrogen bomb as detailed in the video below, we can see this satellite's continuous passes over America in the screenshots seen in this story. Called by one expert 'the problem from hell', we see this satellite often sneaking up on America from the south where we're told we're quite vulnerable as that is our 'blind side'. Now, we learn US troops are on highest alert over North Korea. 

Flying at approx 300 kilometers, we also learn in this extremely informative video that 300 kilometers is the perfect height for North Korea to release a weapon capable of ending almost all life in America within a year after the weapon is employed. You can track satellite KMS 3-2 at the SATFARE website here to see just how many times this satellite ventures over the US; maybe even right over your house.

Before we discuss the recent 'mysterious' hydrogen bomb test by North Korea that ties right into this, we need to go back in time a bit. Back in 2004, members of the Congressional EMP Commission met with two Russian generals, Russia's top experts on EMP technology. The generals disclosed that Russia had a 'decisive new nuclear weapon', a 'Super EMP warhead'. The generals also disclosed that the design information for this weapon had 'accidentally' been 'leaked' to North Korea.

According to Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, who you'll hear in eye-opening detail in the video below, the H-bomb recently detonated in a test by North Korea fits well within the requirements of a 'Super EMP', a device that could nearly instantly send America back hundreds of years and wipe out our electrical grid over a huge portion of the country according to this story from the Washington Examiner. In fact, according to Pry, the US is not only totally defenseless against such an attack but North Korea has practiced such EMP attacks against America already.

There is a very real possibility that North Korea has now successfully tested 4 times a 'Super EMP' weapon that could be used to kill off 90% of the US population. In the video below we hear directly from expert Dr. Peter Vincent Pry exactly why all Americans should be concerned about this latest development.
