With Only Four Days to Go to Election Day

Dear Pastors:

With only four days to go to election day, we of the Independent Baptist Faith need to be certain we are lining up our areas of influence, especially in the states of FL, SC, NC, VA, PA, MD, OH, MI, WI, IA, CO, NM, AZ, and NV, so that we can vote out the "Muslim-Marxist-Socialist-Robert-Mugabe" look-a-like occupying our American presidency!

When President Andrew Jackson left office, he said in his final speech in 1837, "But you must remember, my fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty, and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing!"

Now Pastors, on Wednesday,  October 31st, a large group of U.S. Intelligence and Al Qaeda Counter Terrorism specialists, led by Central Intelligence Director David Petraeus, stepped off a special American flight in Cairo. The purpose of their visit was officially termed "two days of talks with Egyptian security officials on terror-related issues."

It was noted by Intelligence and Counter Terrorism sources that they arrived in Egypt fifty-one days after terrorists murdered U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others  at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya on Sept. 10.

There are five reasons why Petraeus’s party arrived in Cairo 51 days too late:

1. U.S. Intelligence and Counter Terrorism Agencies refused to heed the signs - before and after the Benghazi attack - that Al Qaeda’s leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was responsible for ordering it to take place.

2. From Sept. 10 up until the second week of October, U.S. investigators dedicated all their efforts to hunting down the killers. None have so far been traced or eliminated.

Vague rumors were floating around radical Islamic militia circles in Libya, Tunisia, Mali, the Sahel Desert and Al Qaeda in the Maghreb-AQIM claiming that Egyptian Salafist extremists had taken part in the Benghazi attack.

But this rumor did not make it under U.S. Intelligence radar.

3. No eyes in Washington turned to a different avenue of inquiry outside the Ansar al-Sharia Brigade, which was generally held responsible for the atrocity. Neither did they give much thought to al-Zawahiri, although he has taken charge of Al Qaeda’s strategic decisions since Osama bin Laden’s death at American hands in Pakistan in May 2011.

The new leader has in fact, according to sources, overhauled the Jihadist movement and fundamentally revamped its tactics, targeting and mode of operation, adapting them to contemporary conditions:

A new, independent Al Qaeda force:

Because U.S. Intelligence Agencies were focusing all their attention on Al Qaeda and its primary franchises –AQIM, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula-AQAP, and Al Qaeda in Syria - their commanders who do not fully defer to his authority, Zawahiri decided the best way forward was to go back to the movement’s roots.


Thirty years ago, Al Qaeda was born out of the operational partnership the Egyptian physician forged between his own radical Egyptian Islamic Jihad and Bin Laden’s Saudi-dominated jihadists.

This partnership quickly became the dynamic nucleus of the burgeoning Jihadist Terrorist movement.

The Arab Revolt as fertile soil for terror reawakening:

Any government thrown up by the Arab revolt which refuses to establish a regime based on Sharia Law and fight the U.S. and Israel must henceforth to be deemed fertile soil and fair game for planting Islamist terror in its midst, the new Al Qaeda determined.

This applied especially to Egypt, where a Muslim Brotherhood government is backed by the Obama administration and maintains clandestine military and intelligence ties with Israel.

A ready-made Egyptian terror infrastructure:

Zawahiri cashed in on tools and circumstances that were not available to Osama bin Laden or present when he launched his 9/11 attacks on the United States.

New realities presented the new Leader with new options.

For instance, his top Islamic Jihad men are now at liberty, freed in late 2011 from the prisons in which they had been rotting for twenty years. And in June 2012, a general election brought the Muslim Brotherhood to power.

The ease with which the attackers of the Israeli and Saudi Embassies in Cairo on Sept. 9, 2011 escaped from Egyptian security forces showed Zawahiri the depth of the chaos prevailing in the country and across the Middle East under the new regimes. From there, it was a short jump to conclude that nothing was easier than to unleash dramatic terror campaigns.

Lawless Sinai, the perfect hub of operations:

The rise of an Islamic-Salafi terrorist stronghold in the Sinai Peninsula, against which Egyptian authorities proved helpless, was another boon for Zawahiri’s new campaign of terror. For him, the lawless Peninsula, a traditional regional smuggling center, worked as a hub for surreptitiously moving terrorists from place to place and target to target.

4. While following mainstream Al Qaeda, U.S. Intelligence and Counter Terrorism Agencies were not sufficiently attentive to the dangerous Egyptian branch and its pulsing Sinai hub. Both were too long treated as side shows of the terrorist scene, which could be left to local authorities in Israel and Egypt to handle.

The Americans neglected to take into account that Egyptian and Israeli security and military arms were mutually tied down by the restrictive provisions of their 1979 peace treaty, which assigned Sinai the status of a demilitarized buffer zone.

The Muslim Brotherhood would now prefer to ditch the treaty, but doesn't dare because Washington has threatened to cut off civilian and military assistance.  If it does, Israel fears any amendments that might give the Brotherhood strategic advantages.

In these circumstances, Zawahiri’s terrorist cells are free to operate from an ideal arena of operation in Sinai, while all three powers look on.

It should therefore not be surprising to discover that some of the Benghazi killers were able to reach their victims via Sinai and Cairo and slip back to the peninsula before scattering to other destinations like Turkey, Lebanon and Syria, Counter Terrorism sources report.

5. The success of the Benghazi attack in early September, the excessive slowness of U.S. Counter Terrorism Agencies, and success of every single perpetrator to escape apprehension, encouraged the Al Qaeda Leader to plot a major wave of terror against U.S., Israeli and Egyptian targets from convenient strongholds in Egypt and Sinai. Those attacks were planned for the Muslim Feast of the Sacrifice (that was celebrated from October 25-29).

However, this time, the Obama administration was fully alerted to the danger and pushed every button in Cairo to force the Muslim Brotherhood government into preventive action. After the embarrassments of Benghazi, the last thing Barack Obama needed at this time was another terrorist attack on an American Middle East Embassy.

This decision brought CIA chief David Petraeus and his U.S. Intelligence colleagues to Cairo on Wednesday, two days after Eid, to launch a major U.S. Operation against Zawahiri’s revamped Al Qaeda.

Sources report that his welcome from Egyptian officials could best be described as lukewarm, not exactly the most promising start for an important campaign against terror.

Now Pastors, looking back at history, it is easy to see that an Ishmaelite is much safer living in Israel than as a Jew in Egypt. Muslims in Israel have mosques, they have the right to vote, and they have representatives in the Knesset, the Israel Parliament. Jews in Egypt and other Arab countries— though they have been living there for more than 25 centuries, almost twice as long as Muslims have been in the land of Israel—have virtually no rights at all. And, dear friend, if the "obamessiah" gets re-elated come Tuesday that is exactly where you and I shall be, with —NO RIGHTS AT ALL!

Hitler’s friend, the British-appointed Grand Mufti of Jerusalem initiated the pogroms in 1920, 1929, and 1936-39. The ‘29 attacks included the murder of 60 Jews in Hebron, including women and children. My friend, former Knesset member, Eliaykim Haetzni lives right next door to where that occurred.

Sadly, the plight of Palestine’s Jews was not unique; in 1912 and 1942 there were anti-Jewish pogroms in Morocco; in 1917, 1940, and 1941 in Tunisia; in 1933 and 1947 in Yemen; in 1934 in Algeria; and in 1937, 1941, and 1946-47 in Iraq. There were pogroms in 1942 and 1945 in Libya, where at the time a quarter of Tripoli’s population was Jewish.

Today, there is not a single Jew left there. One Jewish man returned to Tripoli in 2011 after Moamar Gaddafi was overthrown and tried to re-open an abandoned synagogue; he was quickly hounded out of the country by mobs that tried to storm his hotel room while carrying signs declaring, "There is no place for the Jews in Libya!"

While Obama made a ‘photo-op’ in New Jersey, and then jetted off for his "perpetual campaign," Islam’s militant zeal is evident in the Jihad warriors who regard Muhammad’s blood-soaked-life as the "ideal example" for all Muslims to emulate. The instructions they follow about how to wage war and what to do with their defeated enemies are found in the Qur’an, the Hadith, and the Sira.

According to these traditions, in Jihad, the end always justifies the means.

Terrorism, atrocities, betrayal, deception, deceit, assassination, and hostage-taking are all halal [permitted] because Muhammad himself set the "good example." A favored jihadist tactic is Taqiyya, or lying under oath. One of Taqiyya’s favorite tactics is persuading the enemy [Christians and Jews] that preparations for ‘war are not aimed at him at all,’ but at another target.

When George W. Bush was our president, I wrote him repeatedly that we were behind the 8-ball in our prosecution of the "Ishamelite-wild-donkey-replacement-doctrine-reject" war. With this President, we have gotten farther and farther behind that 8-ball.

Fifty-one days is just too much time to allow ticking off the clock before coming to our senses about our Ambassador’s killing, along with 3 associates. We have 4 DAYS IN WHICH TO RIGHT OUR COURSE. MAY THE LORD GOD OF THE HEBREWS HELP US AS WE ATTEMPT TO DO THIS NEXT TUESDAY! Let us heed Andrew Jackson’s words: "But you must remember, my fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty, and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing!"
