America's Strategic Situation

[Pescarii]

America faces several internal and external threats. These range from the military to ideological. The nature of them is varied but all detract from the vision of America as a civic society with freedom for all who accept the Constitution.

I Islamic Terrorism

Islamic Terrorism is the current military/security threat facing the US. Terrorists intimidate those favorable to the US and directly attack Americans at home and abroad in an effort to change US policy (intimidation), gain converts (through "victimhood"), and fulfill their war against all opposing forces to global Islamic rule.

II Islam

Islamic beliefs are closely related to Islamic terrorism as terrorism is simply the rational extension of those beliefs. The expansion of the Muslim population in the US and in US friends endangers the free expression (for fear of offending) of the citizenry, imperils rational assessment of threats (lobbying and infiltration of translators), and can be recruited into Islamic terrorist organizations or will provide propaganda support for them.

III Political Correctness

PC is a totalitarian Ideology very similar to Maoism that seeks to reeducate people along certain ideological lines. The maximum penalty for it is not death as under Mao but severe social approbation from the Left. The concepts of PC and respect have become intertwined in people's minds such that criticism of a designated (not intentionally but rather as a matter of herd behavior) victim group becomes impossible in polite society.

This imperils rational threat assessments of ethnic, religious, and ideological conflicts. These conflicts are constant hence the failure to approach them properly means that US interests and those of civilization in general cannot be ensured when policy is decided based on conspicuous compassion based on PC.



More will come.

IV Islamic countries seeking power

Iran is the most dangerous militarily but Saudi Arabia controls vast Islamic networks motivated by Wahabi Islam. The nature of the ideology means that in time, Islamic terrorism will increase.

V China

China is a growing economy with a vast population. While it is unlikely to challenge the US on a fully global scale, it is hostile to US influence and seeks to back all Anti-American forces. China also is likely to use its growing military to influence diplomacy and politics in Asia thereby weakening US influence.

VI Russia

Russia's interests are highly divided with its mutual concern over Sunni Terrorist networks and Islamic separatists in the Caucasus. Russia is less concerned with Shia terrorist networks due to not facing any threats from them. This is a reversal of American concerns as the US government is more concerned with Shia terrorist groups and states than Sunni ones.

Russia is also supplying the Iranian nuclear program largely as a way to spite the US, gain money, and buy time and grace from the Islamic world as it seeks to survive on a declining demographic base.

Russia's loyal Russian and other Christian population is shrinking due to a high abortion rate, high emigration, and generally low quality of life. The Muslim population of Russia is growing rapidly and in a few decades will outnumber the Christians. Russia's delicate position is made even more so by a general antipathy to the US from the Cold War and a severe distrust stemming from extremely pro-Muslim, pro-Croatian policy of the Clinton era. Clinton's diplomatic approach confirmed Russian fears that the US was not going to act as a friend of Russia.

As things currently stand, a weak Russia can result in some terrorist networks being given free reign by Moscow, Russia supporting Anti-American governments, and other actions stemming from general hostility.

VII Liberalism (American Variant)

The Marxist elements to it and the Utopian Socialist concepts attached to them severely impede the functioning of the military, the economy, and the general peace of society. (to be continued)

Okay, I am a bit foggy on some of the details that seem to combine the interests of Islam and the elite or Illuminate leaders in America. What are the interests they share? The 9-11 attacks were obviously a set up since no planes could possibly cause buildings to implode at the bottom (planes hit the mid top sections). Also, how does the Catholic leaders fit in with Muslim and elite leaders in America? I know Muslims and Catholics both worship Mary (?). How do all these pieces fit together?

[Pescarii]

Only the Syrian Alawites have a syncretistic cult of Mary, other Muslims regard her as irrelevant.

The planes managed to hit in the top and middle of the WTC towers and the heat from the fires weakened the building's (steel structural frame) supports. Given the weight involved in such buildings, the 50% loss in load bearing meant that the whole structure could no longer be supported.

The closest incident anyone had ever planned for in the past was a bomber accidentally flying into the EmpireState Building. It did not cause the same damage due to not spilling massive amounts of fuel. The building did not collapse from the plane strikes but from the fuel igniting and starting fires.

It is a lesson that small groups with an evil mind can use anything they want to cause terror.
