Global Islamic Terrorism Advisory
02 January 2009: There are significant threats to American and Israeli interests worldwide which have become more pronounced since the IDF initiated the much belated military action against HAMAS in the Gaza Strip. These threats fall in two distinct categories, but are in fact virtually identical in essence.
Sunni Islamist Threats: All United States and Israeli embassies and consulates around the world are high probability targets. However, these threats also include terrorist action against any and all United States and Israeli citizens, places of worship and other interests anywhere in the world.
Shi’a Islamist Threats: Statements from officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have issued specific terrorist threats (i.e. threats which if carried out amount to specific Acts of War) against both the United States and the State of Israel. These threats target citizens, places of worship and their national interests worldwide.

U.S. Intelligence official "breaks silence" on Israel situation"
31 December 2008: Northeast Intelligence Network director Doug Hagmann interviewed a highly-placed U.S. intelligence official late yesterday who not only confirmed rumors about escalated and more intensive Israeli military operations against the Muslim terrorists in Gaza, warned of the increasing probability of abandonment of Israel by the U.S. and other Western countries based on what he termed “malicious intelligence.”
“Remember that term,” advised this well-placed intelligence official, “you’ll be hearing it again.”
“This is just the beginning,” stated this intelligence official, who wished to remain anonymous. This official stated that the possibility for a much more protracted ground war is more likely today than at any other time in the past, adding that Israel is exercising her right to protect herself from her enemies in Gaza. But there is a catch, noted this official, and a big one at that: Israel could be about to lose the support of the United States.
“I have every reason to believe, based on what I’ve seen at my level of [security] clearance especially over the last several years, that Israel will soon be completely on their own… or worse.” When asked what could be worse than losing the support of the United States, he stated: “when our administration provides more support to Arab countries [with] financial and military aid, undercutting Israel’s defense efforts all while pushing Israel to succumb to the pressure of unreasonable demands designed to end with their political annihilation as a nation.”
According to this official, the U.S. has been slowly proceeding down this road. He cited the 2005 surrender of Gush Katif to the Palestinian Authority as one critical example of the slow dismantlement of Israel as a viable nation. “Despite critical intelligence outlining in every possible manner imaginable that this would be a disastrous move leading to the events we are seeing today, it was done anyway,” he stated.
“We are seeing the very scenario play out today that was outlined in intelligence briefs three and four years ago. Knowing that, there is something very wrong with this picture,” he stated.
He added that Western media is also playing a very big role in the current war in the Middle East, thanks, in part, to carefully worded statements prepared by political officials in Washington. Officials in the current administration, like some previous administrations, submit carefully crafted informational releases to a media that is controlled by those having special interests that are contrary to a legitimate peace in the Middle East.
“The game is rigged. At the highest levels of power in the U.S. and even by some in power in Israel, the game is rigged,” he emphasized.
The next obvious question in this interview was, of course, “how is it rigged?” followed by ”how are you in a position to know?”
This official responded by stating that he has spent the last two decades serving in “an unfortunate position where intelligence and politics meet and often collide.” Now, merely days away from retirement, he stated that he is looking forward to leaving his position after conducting over 20 years of intelligence work “that has been molded and massaged to advance the agendas of a select few.”
He continued: “When an intelligence work product that has been thoroughly and properly vetted is submitted to those in Washington, and I see a completely different and entirely inaccurate product intentionally submitted and aired in the media, only to be told ‘that is the way it must be,’ then I know it’s time for me to leave.”
“It is obvious to me that most Americans don’t understand or don’t care what is actually happening in the Middle East relative to Israel. People don’t understand history, or have been subjected to revisionist history based on lies and more lies. Add to that a media that fails to provide an accurate assessment of what is taking place in Israel, in Gaza, and you end up with a very bad situation for Israel,” stated this source. He added that the disinformation coming and going to and from Washington is getting worse, as is the media bias against Israel.
The events currently taking place in Israel are extremely perilous for Israel and especially perilous for the national security of the United States, according to this source. Contrary to the accepted assessments of “Middle East experts” in the news, our intelligence services have “ample evidence to prove active collusion and support between HAMAS and other terrorist organizations, both Sunni and Shite. Further, there is a level of Iranian complicity in this war that is not being talked about, or being dismissed out of hand because of the schism between the Sunni and Shia sects,” stated this source.

More from this interview, in addition to an interview arranged by this intelligence official with a high-ranking Israeli IDF official conducted on 31 December 2008.
Homeland Insecurity: The Inevitability of “Unconventional Strategic Shocks”
17 December 2008: The Evangelical Christian community are not the only ones discussing the inevitability and repercussions of an apocalyptic global crisis, or a crisis within the United States which removes the nation from its current status as a major world power. Just released for public consumption is a .pdf format U.S. Government publication written by Lt. Col. (USA Ret.) Nathan Freier. This document is a highly researched and thoroughly documented field of inquiry entitled
“Known Unknowns: Unconventional Strategic Shocks in Defense Strategy Development” which warns of catastrophic events. Referred to as “strategic shocks” in the paper, the author foresees events here at home which our federal government, defense and intelligence agencies are woefully ill-equipped to deal with much less reasonably predict based upon the lessons of history which guarantees future shocks on a scale greater than those of 9/11.
From Mumbai to Minneapolis, WHY it WILL happen here
1 December 2008: I hope everyone takes a really deep, hard look at what happened last week in Mumbai, India, and at the terrorists who perpetrated the attack. And I hope this is done quickly, with a high degree of intellectual honesty and without the encumbrance of political correctness. The safety of every American, Canadian, Australian, and all Westerners, in fact depends on it, as does the security of our respective nations.
If recent history provides us any insight, however, we will fall woefully short in our official analysis of this event, and fail to learn the lessons of Mumbai. We’ve already demonstrated this pattern of failure in the many instances since 2001. Although there is enough blame to go around, I will place special blame squarely at the feet of a select few: members within our current administration, who have succumbed to the pressures and influences of such special interest groups such as the Council on American Islamic Relations to needlessly convolute the facts about Islamic terrorism; the corporate media, for their failure to call an Islamic terrorist an Islamic terrorist; some nationally syndicated political right-wing talk radio show hosts who have a platform and vast audience, but fail to use their programs to provide you with the whole truth, and many of you, who strive to be so liberal and open minded that quite simply, your brains spill to the floor.
Syndicated columnist Mark Steyn wrote last Friday that Mumbai could happen just about anywhere. He’s correct, and be forewarned, it will happen in America. It will happen in Canada. It will happen in Australia and just about any Western country you can name.
I have the ability, authority and have earned the right to make such a statement because I’ve personally investigated potential terrorists who are in this country that appear to be training for just such scenarios. I’ve published my investigative findings, complete with photographs, only to be called an alarmist, racist, bigoted, and religiously intolerant. I’ve seen my findings skewed by the media, who complain that they cannot find corroborating witnesses as they point cameras and shine lights on sources that fear for their safety. And I've garnered the wrath of a top Pakistani terror kingpin for exposing the activities of his followers here in the U.S. and Canada.
My investigative findings into one such Pakistani terrorist group, (Pakistan now suddenly being important, considering all of the dead bodies in Mumbai) Jamaat ul Fuqra, have been cited by the Regional Organized Crime Information Center in their 2006 special research report. Prolific author and researcher of Islamic terrorism, Dr. Paul Williams, devoted nearly an entire chapter to my findings in his recent book The Day of Islam.
Despite the evidence presented, there is an incredible disconnect from reality by otherwise rational and reasonable individuals, people in leadership, and some at higher levels in our own law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Why else would one treat with sickening malaise the existence of a bullet-ridden school bus situated on the grounds of a private Islamic commune located at the base of the Catskill Mountains in New York State? This would be the same Islamic compound “of Qu’ranic study” that is outfitted with a firing range, where area residents often hear the sounds of automatic and semi-automatic weapons fire.
How was this group dealt with by local community leaders? Not with the slightest scintilla of suspicion or even curiosity, but with a parade. An actual parade, through the streets of Binghamton, NY, to celebrate interfaith dialogue. What about law enforcement? Well, they consider this commune “good residents,” mostly because they have not had to respond to any “trouble calls” to that location.
The fact is this: there are well armed Muslim men and young boys who are training for urban combat terrorist scenarios inside the United States and Canada, as India continues the process of identifying their dead. I have seen them, and have documented their activities.
They don’t wear nametags that identify them with any particular Islamic terrorist organization, and are not limited to groups like LeT and Jamaat ul Fuqra, but make no mistake: they all adhere to the same philosophy and ideology taught by fundamentalist Islam, and their training is derived directly from the texts, manuals, and videos authored and published by al Qaeda.
Such groups here are well funded, in many cases by receiving money from Saudi Arabia through mosques and Islamic Centers. In cases like Jamaat ul Fuqra, they establish charities, and send their money to top terrorist leader Sheikh Mubarek ali Gilani, who in turn uses those funds to recruit, equip and expand his terrorist network.
Westerners in general, and Americans specifically have a serious case of memory deficit disorder. This disorder will continue until the hallways of the Waldorf Astoria in New York, and the concourses at the Mall of America, for example, run with the blood of innocent men, women and children who have died because we have failed properly and unapologetically deal with the threat of Islamic terrorism within this country.
For economic and political reasons, we are being lied to everyday about the actual threat level that exists in this country and in Canada. And without asking even the most basic questions, the major media in this country perpetuate the lies of those in leadership who successfully hoodwink the masses by the carefully constructed use of catch-phrases like “no specific threat,” unsubstantiated threat, “no specific intelligence,” and my personal favorite, “no connection to terrorism” to nauseating extremes.
Now, the war in which we are engaged is being moved from the battlefield and relegated to U.S. courtrooms. This tactic started long before the Bush administration, but one that received his active support. It’s disingenuous and even silly to think that we can fight a war through our court system and expect to win. This has been demonstrated on numerous occasions since 9/11, and in a number of significant previous instances.
Now, it looks like we are about to turn our country over to “President-elect Barrack Hussein Obama,” a man who has unprecedented terrorist connections himself, and who has the full backing and support of numerous Muslim organizations that tacitly, if not actively condone the actions of Islamic terrorists. A mere seven years after the worst attacks on U.S. soil, Americans have chosen a man who might not even be eligible to serve as President. Since August, Obama has spent nearly one million dollars fighting at least 17 lawsuits to keep a single piece of paper – his birth certificate – under wraps.
One of his legal point men fighting at least one of the lawsuits also happens to be a lawyer for (and active member of) the aforementioned Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), a group having a very special hand in formulating federal, state and local law enforcement policies, with the grace of our current administration. Coincidence? I think not.
To hell with the U.S. Constitution in that case, apparently. It only applies to the constitutional rights of Islamic terrorists, not the political elite. Apply constitutional requirements to the treatment of the Islamic terrorists who have killed, and want to kill us here in America, but dare not apply the requirements of that document to the manufactured "messiah."
Meanwhile, it appears that Obama will be the man selected to inherit the already fatally flawed war doctrine of the Bush administration and either by accident or design, will further endanger our national security, and the safety and security of every man, woman and child of the West.
Instead of a local parade celebrating interfaith dialogue on Main Street in Binghamton, NY, you can now expect one to be held on Pennsylvania Avenue. Instead of war prisoners being held in war prisons and tried as war criminals, you can now expect them to be thrust into the already overburdened criminal justice system.
There is something else you can expect, too. Expect to experience the carnage of Mumbai on any street in America, Canada, or Australia.
Why We Must Pay Attention to the Mumbai Terrorist Attacks
See UPDATED research at the bottom of this analysis and both domestic and foreign OSINT validation of this assessment.
27 November 2008: The Al Qaeda-inspired terrorist attacks in Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay) India may well be a bellwether for Western counter-terrorist operations, particularly in the United States. Given the 25 November FBI/DHS advisory regarding “a plausible but unsubstantiated report” on “discussions” within Al-Qa’ida communications channels, all things must be considered relevant in order to counter the threat of Islamic jihadist strikes in America.
There is no doubt that Al Qa’ida discussions half a world away in Mumbai evolved beyond the “aspirational planning.” I think it necessary at this point to reiterate that one of the primary forms of “aspirational planning” discussions among Al Qa’ida jihadists are found on the forums resident with internet websites. As Randy Taylor reported 18 days ago, an Al Qa’ida “aspirational planning” document was posted on one of their primary forums. Item number 9 in the 15-item “aspirational planning” list of desired targets is the subject of the current FBI/DHS advisory.

November 2, 2008: ABC News released an "exclusive" report by Pierre Thomas three days ago which ran with the headline "Exclusive: U.S. Expects Bin Laden Message Near Election."
One of the key assertions of this exclusive report posited that "Officials told ABC that bin Laden may have trouble releasing a message because of intensive [American government] efforts to keep al-Qaida and other terrorist groups from using the Internet to spread propaganda."
The ABC News 'Exclusive Report' is Baloney
For the 2008 U.S. presidential election an Usama bin Laden message is not likely and here's why: The Sunni and Shi'a Islamic jihadists have been waging an intense inter-Islamic cyber jihad against each others websites for over a month now - the main Al Qaeda website (Al Hesbah) which announces As-Sahab produced video or audio messages from Usama bin Laden was knocked offline weeks ago by unknown Shi'a jihadist hackers.

September 6, 2008: Question: Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3) regarding "electioneering activities," exactly how many flagrant violations need be committed by the Islamic Society of North America for the benefit of the campaign of the Democrat presidential nominee Barack Hussein Obama in order for federal authorities to act and the media to take notice and report the story?
And after how many illegalities were the Barack Obama campaign, the Democrat Party and the Islamic Society of North America going to report or disclose these illegalities occured pursuant to Public Law 106-230 as signed by former Democrat President Bill Clinton back in July of 2000?
The apparent and obvious answer as detailed on The NEIN Blog yesterday is: more than two.

September 1, 2008 On this date 71 years ago World War II began with Nazi Germany’s invasion of Poland. However, the start of the war was not without significant precursor events. As posted to The Northeast Intelligence Network’s “NEIN Blog” we find ourselves at the virtual 70 year anniversary of that well prepared-in-advance, deliberately provoked war of conquest as well as the subsequent annexation of the Sudetenland and, ultimately all of the independent democracy known as Czechoslovakia.
As stated in the Blog, I believe the real-world parallels to what has been occurring during the past month in the Republic of Georgia at the hands of the military expansionist Russian Federation is either history is repeating itself, or Russian planners are explicitly following the template set forth by the German-Nazi Third Reich and their Sudetendeutsche Party (SdP) 5th column when they carved out the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia and eventually conquered the entire country. As the historical experience of Czechoslovakia attests in the face of such barbaric and wanton aggression, the Western democracies, with America as its leader, have merely offered words of encouragement coupled with humanitarian assistance to their ally in Georgia.

25 June 2008: For the past few days global media has been abuzz with the purposefully leaked news that Israel conducted a massive “dress rehearsal” for a strategic preemptive strike against Iranian nuclear facilities. This “dress rehearsal” reportedly involved a combined strike package of more than 100 Israeli Air Force F-15I Ra’am (Thunder), F-16I Sufa (Storm) strike aircraft, supported by KC-707 refueling tankers and heliborne SAR (Search and Rescue) troops in the eastern Mediterranean Sea extended to a distance equal to that required to reach the postulated primary Iranian nuclear infrastructure target set located at Natanz, Arak, Esfahan, and, possibly, the soon-to-be online Russian-built and fueled reactor at Bushehr.
It is apparent to this analyst that it was no mere coincidence this “dress rehearsal” mission was executed just prior to the anniversary of the daring June 7, 1981 IAF strike against the Iraqi Osiraq light-water reactor (Operation Babylon/Opera/Ofra). The obvious historical note to consider is that the Osiraq mission was originally scheduled to occur in October 1981 but was pushed forward due to several significant factors, not the least of which was the planned fueling of the Osiraq reactor in late October 1981. The delivery of Osiraq’s fuel rods was completed in the summer of 1981. This may be important because Iran announced on the same June 7, 2008 anniversary that the Bushehr reactor will go operational in October 2008 following the delivery of the Russian-supplied fuel rods. It is also a current assessment that Iran will have produced enough enriched uranium for a nuclear weapon core by the end of this year. Thus the totality of the message sent via the public announcement of this exercise is absolutely transparent.

3 April 2008: All of the wars and battles that America has fought since the April 19, 1775 engagement at Lexington and Concord through to Operation Desert Storm in 1991, as imperative and world-changing as they have been, they are but a fleeting blur when placed in contrast to the war declared upon us by Islamic fundamentalism and with respect to our national response. My intent in the next few paragraphs is to relate, in the most succinct way possible, how and why this could well be America’s final war due to the abject, unconscionable failure of our leadership and barring a drastic and comprehensive shift of focus in the prosecution of the war.
