Watch: U.S. Army Completely Humiliates ISIS, Releases Seized ‘Bloopers Tape’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Conservative Tribune. One of the ways the Islamic State group made its mark on the international terrorism of the 21st century was through its savvy release of videos celebrating the kind of depravity decent people are repelled by.

But a compilation video released this week by the U.S. military shows a different side of the once-fearsome fighting group — and gives viewers a pretty good idea of why they abandoned the battlefield in droves once President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary James Mattis decided to teach them that war is for keeps.

According to Stars and Stripes, the four-minute video is made up of hours of footage capture of special operations forces. There’s no audio, but as one social media user pointed out on YouTube, it wouldn’t be hard to imagine the “Yakety Sax” theme song from “Benny Hill” playing in the background . . .

That last one is especially disturbing. It’s easy to forget now that the Islamic State group savages have been essentially destroyed, but it wasn’t that long ago, on President Barack Obama’s watch that they looked like world-beaters.

Vast swaths of Iraq and Syria were under Islamic State group control, and killers in Europe and the United States were pledging allegiance to the group while carrying out their bloody operations. (Read more from “Watch: U.S. Army Completely Humiliates ISIS, Releases Seized ‘Bloopers Tape’” HERE)

ISIS Fighters Display Less-Than-Stellar Leapfrogging, Martial Arts Skills in Seized Videos

By Stars and Stripes. Islamic State propaganda videos seized by the U.S. appear to show masked militants training inside a mosque in northwestern Afghanistan, doing pushups, playing leapfrog and bunny hopping.

The four-minute compilation, released last week by the U.S.-led special operations task force in the country, seems aimed at undermining the group’s fearsome reputation. It resembles a selection of comical outtakes.

The video features camouflage-clad fighters performing calisthenics, demonstrating dubious martial arts skills and facing off in rows to practice firing positions with their Kalashnikov rifles.

At one point, the compilation shows several clips of a man flanked by two gunmen as he gestures and points, somewhat like an insurgent Uncle Sam. In the background, men box and others wave ISIS flags. (Read more from “Isis Fighters Display Less-Than-Stellar Leapfrogging, Martial Arts Skills in Seized Videos” HERE)

American Hero Stuck in Iraq After Fighting ISIS

/0 Comments/in , /by

By WND. Michael Enright is a British-born actor who moved to America and performed in “Dead Man’s Chest,” part of Johnny Depp’s “Pirates of the Caribbean” series . . .

And he’s taken part in military attacks on ISIS in which terrorists were blown up . . .

Now he’s dealing with a visa issue, after having stayed too long on the one on which he traveled overseas, and a number of friends have appeared in a video promoting his cause to return to the United States.

Among them is Emmy-winning filmmaker Adam Wood, who is coming out with “Heval,” about Enright’s decision to leave Hollywood and travel to the Middle East to fight alongside Kurds, a strong U.S. ally in that region, against the Islamic terrorists of ISIS . . .

In a video shot on the battlefield, Enright says of the ISIS terrorists: “Lord let your will be done in this area. I want to make it out, but I really want to kill them.” (Read more from “American Hero Stuck in Iraq After Fighting ISIS” HERE)

ISIS Leader in Afghanistan Is Killed in U.S. Airstrike

By NY Times. An American airstrike killed the leader of the Islamic State in northern Afghanistan, the latest in a series of crippling setbacks for the extremist organization in the country, according to American and Afghan officials on Monday.

The American military commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John W. Nicholson Jr., said in a news release that the strike in Faryab Province had killed Qari Hekmatullah and his bodyguard on Thursday. Mr. Hekmatullah was a key commander of the Islamic State in Khorasan, or IS-K, as the Afghan and Pakistani branch of the Islamic State is known.

General Nicholson described the killing as a joint operation between American Special Operations troops and Afghan Special Security Forces, and said it was the latest in a series of successful efforts to kill Islamic State leaders. “A.S.S.F. and U.S. counterterrorism forces killed Hekmatullah and they will kill any successors,” General Nicholson was quoted as saying. “IS-K will be eliminated.” (Read more from “ISIS Leader in Afghanistan Is Killed in U.S. Airstrike” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Police said a homemade explosive device was the item discovered in a backpack at Pine View High School Monday, that forced the evacuation of the school. Police said if the device had detonated, it would have caused significant injury or death. Police have a suspect in custody.

A warrant served at the male juvenile’s home and items were found consistent with the materials used to build the device. Police also said the suspect had been researching information and expressing interest in ISIS and promoting the organization . . .

During the interview with investigators, the suspect admitted to taking the American flag down and replacing it with an ISIS flag at Hurricane High School.

The suspect also admitted to spray painting “ISIS IS COMI” on the school that same morning, police say.

On Monday afternoon, investigators served a search warrant at the suspect’s home, which found several items that tied the suspect to the crime at Hurricane High School. (Read more from “Teen Tries to Detonate Bomb at High School, Allegedly Flew ISIS Flag” HERE)

Muslim Who Shot Cop for Islam Was ‘Lying in Wait’

/0 Comments/in , /by

An ISIS-inspired gunman who shot a Philadelphia police officer multiple times “in the name of Islam” in 2016 was “lying in wait” before the ambush attack on the unsuspecting cop who was merely sitting in his patrol car, prosecutors say . . .

Archer is accused of firing 13 shots at Officer Jesse James Hartnett, a four-year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department, on the evening of Jan. 7, 2016. Hartnett was shot multiple times in his left arm as he shielded his head from the rounds of Archer’s stolen 9 mm Glock handgun.

In court Thursday, Archer refused to enter a plea, the Associated Press reported.

“I don’t plead to anyone but Allah,” he said . . .

The gunman reportedly gave a full confession in 2016, saying he did it in the name of Islam, according to CBS News. Sources also told Eyewitness News that Archer provided the confession in written form, and his police testimony was recorded on camera, as well.

ISIS Calling Again for Assassinations, Ambushes

/0 Comments/in , /by

Islamic State is far from defeated in Iraq and Syria, actively sending out messages to its extremists to revert to the terrorist group’s tactics of assassinations, bombs and ambushes.

The Washington-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which monitors jihadi chatter, reports that the orders have gone out in online publications and social media for a new way of fighting after the loss of the territory that protected the caliphate.

Other analysts are saying that, while the Iraqi government declared full liberation of all territories last month, Islamic remains adaptable and deadly.

“The end of the physical caliphate does not equal an end of the war or an end to their strategic goals,” retired Army Lt. Gen. James M. Dubik, who led troops in Iraq, told The Washington Times.

Islamic State is the remnant of a semiconventional army of over 40,000 terrorists who rose up in Syria and invaded Iraq in 2014. But the organization still claims hundreds of fiercely committed fighters and thousands of loyalists in those two countries. (Read more from “ISIS Calling Again for Assassinations, Ambushes” HERE)

Out of Ammo, Hero Soldier Gets Creative in Decapitating ISIS Jihadi

/0 Comments/in , /by

Facing what seemed like certain death at the hands of bloodthirsty ISIS terrorists in eastern Afghanistan, a heroic British special-forces soldier who ran out of bullets acted quickly during an ambush by grabbing a spade and decapitating a jihadi in a single swoop.

Then the British soldier swiped the terrorist’s own weapon and killed more members of ISIS during a six-hour gun battle, according to the London Daily Mail.

U.S. troops moved in to help the besieged soldiers of Britain’s Special Air Service, who had been forced to take cover at a farm six weeks ago when ISIS gunmen attacked them. Eventually, two U.S. Apache helicopter gunships and a U.S. Chinook arrived to rescue the British fighters.

But before help arrived, the British soldiers were sitting ducks. They radioed for help but were unsure of whether their calls were received. So they vowed to fight to the death rather than allow themselves to be captured, tortured and executed by ISIS.

After nearly half the unit ran out of ammunition, the men began using their rifles as clubs. (Read more from “Out of Ammo, Hero Soldier Gets Creative in Decapitating ISIS Jihadi” HERE)

‘ISIS Selfies’ on New York Streets Are Terrifying

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Tina Moore and Ruth Brown. Jihadis are spreading chilling selfies of a man brandishing ISIS logos while posing on New York City streets, according to new reports.

The photos were spotted in pro-Islamic State channels on instant messaging app Telegram, according to terror watchdog group Memri.

One shows a man wearing an ISIS-branded scarf over his face outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art — and right near an NYPD security camera. Pedestrians can be seen walking by on the snow-dusted street.

Another is of someone holding a smart phone with the terror group’s logo on its screen in front of the World Trade Center. The phone-holder appears to be standing near the corner of Houston Street and the Westside Highway. (Read more from “‘ISIS Selfies’ on New York City Streets Are Terrifying” HERE)

ISIS ‘Lone Wolf’ Fanatic Takes Chilling Selfie on a Snow-Covered New York Street as Terror Group Urges a Wave of Knife Attacks at US Churches

By Matt Acton. A brazon Islamic State fanatic taunted US security services by appearing to pose on a snowy New York street in an ISIS-branded scarf.

The disturbing selfie comes after the terror group’s media channels ramped up their threats to the Big Apple over the festive period.

The monster also seems to be wearing an ISIS-branded scarf to hide his face – but experts have warned that it might be computer-generated.

The disturbing selfie comes as the supporters of the terror group released another poster urging attacks in churches with knives.

The propaganda piece shows a masked fighter brandishing a bloodied knife with the words: “It’s cheaper than a chainsaw.” (Read more from “ISIS ‘Lone Wolf’ Fanatic Takes Chilling Selfie on a Snow-Covered New York Street as Terror Group Urges a Wave of Knife Attacks at US Churches” HERE)

Dreaded, Sadistic ISIS Executioner Reportedly Captured in Iraq; Could Be Executed Himself

/0 Comments/in , /by

A white-bearded ISIS militant who presided over the killings of dozens of gay men and others who ran afoul of the so-called “caliphate” was captured in the Iraqi city of Mosul last week, according to reports.

Abu Omer was arrested after locals in Mosul tipped security forces off to his hideout in the city, the Iran-based AhlulBayt News Agency (ANBA) reported, citing Iraqi media outlets.

Abu Omer was a prominent presence in several sick videos of ISIS executions, in which homosexuals were thrown off buildings and others beheaded and stoned to death for minor offenses such as blasphemy.

In one video, apparently from March 2015, a man who appears to be Omer reads off a list of charges against three men before they are publicly beheaded.

Another photo appears to show Omer inspecting a pile of rocks before a public stoning. Now, this most feared ISIS executioner could be executed himself. (Read more from “Dreaded, Sadistic ISIS Executioner Reportedly Captured in Iraq; Could Be Executed Himself” HERE)

ISIS Attack in Afghanistan Kills 41

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Islamic State suicide bomber struck a Shiite cultural center in Kabul on Thursday, killing at least 41 people and underscoring the extremist group’s growing reach in Afghanistan even as its self-styled caliphate in Iraq and Syria has been dismantled.

The attack may have targeted the pro-Iran Afghan Voice news agency housed in the two-story building. The Sunni extremists of IS view Shiite Muslims as apostates and have repeatedly attacked Afghanistan’s Shiite minority and targets linked to neighboring Iran . . .

Local Shiite leader Abdul Hussain Ramazandada said the bomber slipped into an academic seminar at the center and blew himself up among the participants. More bombs went off just outside the center as people fled.

The IS-linked Aamaq news agency said four bombs were used in the assault, one strapped to the suicide attacker. It said the center was funded by Iran and used to propagate Shiite beliefs.

Ali Reza Ahmadi, a journalist with Afghan Voice, said he leaped from the window of his second-floor office after the first bomb went off and saw flames pouring from the basement. (Read more from “ISIS Attack in Afghanistan Kills 41” HERE)

MORE Chain Migration Islamic Terrorism; More Media Blackout

/0 Comments/in , /by

While Americans were celebrating this long Christmas weekend, another chain migrant from an Islamic country was arrested for plotting a terror attack against the very country that admitted him. It’s part of a growing wave, almost daily, of Islamic immigrants arrested on terrorism-related charges, yet there is a complete blackout in the media about the existence of this troubling pattern and about the growing problem with imported terrorism.

Meanwhile, as we gear up for a new legislative year in Congress, the focus is all about more amnesty for illegal aliens rather than protecting Americans from the autopilote chain migration from the Middle East. The only one who cares about protecting our sovereignty is President Trump, but the runaway courts and their status as supreme arbiter of national security are rendering his actions moot.

On Friday, Ahmed Aminamin El-Mofty, an immigrant from Egypt who later became a naturalized citizen, targeted Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, police in a series of shootings in three separate locations on Friday, one of which injured a local officer.

Acting DHS press secretary Tyler Houlton confirmed that El-Mofty was a beneficiary of chain migration. “The long chain of migration that led to the suspect’s admission to the United States was initiated years ago by a distant relative of the suspect. One of the most recent links in that chain was an extended family member admitted into the United States from Egypt on an F24 visa,” said Houlton in a statement from DHS.

As PJ Media’s national security correspondent, Patrick Poole, observes, “The terror attack happened on the same day that Jalil Ibn Ameer Aziz was being sentenced in federal court in Harrisburg for material support for ISIS. Aziz received a 12-year prison sentence.” Aziz also threatened to behead President Obama in 2015. Thus, we now have an American capital city beleaguered by Islamic terrorists imported from the Middle East. Thanks to chain migration from the Middle East, the cancer has spread to all corners of this country.

But this is not all. Houlton also confirmed on the same day that a Pakistan-born woman, Zoobia Shahnaz, who was charged earlier this month with laundering Bitcoin in a scheme to raise money for ISIS, was also a beneficiary of chain migration. How was she admitted? On an F43 visa, an adult child of an F41 visa holder who was initially brought in by another relative. This is a similar visa to the one used by Akayed Ullah, the recent New York bomber from Bangladesh.

Almost every day since the New York bombing, I’ve seen stories of Islamic migrants or children of Islamic migrants in cities and towns across this great nation arrested on terrorism charges, yet it is buried by mainstream media publications. It’s no longer newsworthy that America is becoming like Europe, with ubiquitous Islamic terrorism activities imported to our shores through immigration. Much as in France, our prisons are filling up with Islamic terrorists arrested here at home. The New York Times reported last week that Ahamed Khan Rahimi, the convicted Chelsea bomber from last year who injured 30 people in a terror attack, is already radicalizing fellow inmates in a Manhattan prison.

Egypt, Pakistan, and Bangladesh are all countries that have benefited from both the diversity visa lottery and chain migration, which create a self-fulfilling momentum of mass migration from the Middle East with no regard for the security concerns of Americans. All the existing migrants from these countries who have already obtained citizenship can bring in an unlimited number of like-minded family members, irrespective of their political beliefs or their hate for our values.

The numbers of those already in the pipeline from these countries due to chain migration are staggering and will flood us with more Islamic radicalism unless Congress acts. As of this writing, there were roughly 300,000 more chain migrants on the visa waiting list just from Bangladesh and Pakistan alone. Most of them are distant relatives, known as “fourth preference” visas, such as the F43 visa of the Pakistani alleged Bitcoin criminal.

Overall, 97 percent of the four million individuals on the visa waiting list are chain migrants whose sole claim to an immigrant visa is family ties. There is no regard for skills, values, or security in the existing broken system. Sadly and ironically, most of them will be admitted based on ties to the two million or so Middle Easterners we admitted after 9/11. It’s truly scary to see more Islamic immigrants arrested on terrorism charges who came to this country after some of us were already raising awareness of the problems with mass migration.

Is anyone in the political system other than the president willing to ask why we should turn America into Europe? Jews in Sweden are now under attack from endless anti-Semitism wrought by Islamic migrants. How can anyone think it’s a good idea to bring this dynamic to our shores without any filtering, vetting, or adjustments to our cracked immigration system?

Yet Congress is planning to focus solely on amnesty in January. Mitch McConnell promised open-borders fanatic Jeff Flake a vote on “Dream” amnesty, yet there is no such promise to vote on Tom Cotton’s Raise Act, which would end chain migration and the diversity lottery. The Raise Act is not just an economic issue; it’s a national security issue.

Meanwhile, Judge Robart, yes, that Judge Robart, just issued another judicial legislative proclamation to force Trump to bring in more refugees, despite being slapped down twice by the Supreme Court. He ordered the administration to suspend its stricter vetting of relatives who are brought in by refugees from a number of trouble spots and general vetting procedures of those from 11 targeted countries. Shockingly, Robart said he agreed with plaintiffs that Trump’s policies “will harm the United States’ national security and foreign policy interests.” Yes, we now have a district judge determining national security and foreign policy, while telling us that turning America into Europe will enhance our national security.

Lower courts are still preventing this president from using his existing plenary authority to act.

I’m not sure what it’s going to take for Congress to get serious about immigration reform, the importation of Sharia supremacism to our shores, and fighting back against the hubris-filled lower courts. Sadly, the more pervasive Islamic terrorism grows on our shores, the more acclimated our political system becomes to its existence as the new normal. Just look across the pond to Europe. We seem to always follow in lockstep the terrible examples before us. (For more from the author of “MORE Chain Migration Islamic Terrorism; More Media Blackout” please click HERE)
