The cauldron boils...

 
 


"With the number of bad actors growing every day , all the UN is concerned about is Al Gore's climate change hoax..."



Drip...drip....drip. That is how we are getting information from our government on how much danger we are in. With every drip comes a more clear and dire picture of our predicament. The epicenter for the coming mayhem is now focused primarily (but not exclusively) in Syria. All eyes should be focused on that troubled and turbulent area.

It just seems like yesterday we heard about a new threat. A threat so new, we could not even decide on which name to call it. ISIS, ISIL or whatever. However, there is a difference, even though it appears to some to be subtle. ISIS stands for and Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. ISIL stands for Islamic State in Iraq and Levant. The difference is Levant is not just Syria. Levant is an ancient term which goes back centuries. It is a land mass which covers Syria, Jordan, Cyprus, Lebanon, Israel and part of Turkey. It is this piece of land ISIL wants to take back and control.

So ISIL is bad enough. This group, which Al Qaeda once considered too radical for their organization, is not only causing death and destruction in the Middle East, they also have their eyes on Western targets. News was leaked a few days ago that ISIL would like to have member's of their group, or sympathizers, find out where American soldiers live, break into their houses, and kill their families. And if history tells us anything, look for another horrific beheading in the near future.

Today, we found out there is yet another bad seed in the apples. A cell in Syria called Khorasan has been discovered. Seems our State Department and DHS are more worried about this cell than ISIL. Why? They are not focused on taking back the territory once known as Levant - they are only focused on the destruction of the West (that be us).

A well known pundit was on the news this morning. He had recently been to Turkey and visited the Syrian border. He said is was easier to cross from Turkey into Syria than from Mexico into the United States. Turkey has become the "terror highway" used by aspiring ISIL fighters who want to get into Syria. Turkey, who believe it or not is still a member of NATO, continues to turn a blind eye when the worst of the worst use their country as a transportation conduit.

One more bit of bad news which leaked out last week. Ibrahim al-Asiri, the chief bomb maker for Al Qaeda as well as citizen of our "friend" Saudi Arabia, has been working feverishly to build a bomb which will fool our TSA and get by our screeners. The underwear bomb he built in 2009 was just a start. He is on to bigger and better things right now. Our old foe Al Qaeda is still in the picture, and still want to make a big splash by bringing down a Western airliner.

The cauldron is in Syria right now, but will soon spread. And the cauldron continues to boil over. How much do we citizens know? Not as much as our government does. I continue to believe we are in a clear and present danger and growing daily. We can punch, or be punched. By doing little or nothing as our President suggests, we will get punched again. The enemy is either at the gate or in the gate. Wake up America - the enemy wants you and your family dead. This is for real.
