ISIS, or the Islamic State, has had a fair amount of success spreading their message and recruiting people through social media—a task that is far more challenging than many might consider. Think about the level of effort and expertise McDonald’s uses to engage millennials in the digital sphere, and despite a marketing budget that would […]
There is a lot of hate and vitriol flying around out there lately, admittedly on both sides of the political aisle, with regards to the refugee ban and stoppage of select immigrants recently enacted by the Trump administration. This article is not going to litigate that issue. What this article is going to do though is hopefully […]
President Trump has had a lot to say about the Islamic State, vowing during his inauguration speech to eradicate the terrorist group and calling its fighters “sneaky, dirty rats” during an interview this week.

While Al-Qaeda Prime lurks in their caves in Afghanistan, triangular-shaped compounds in Pakistan, and bombed out buildings in Syria, the Alt-Qaeda camp had their meeting this week at the Turkish Presidential palace. It was the perfect storm for the Alt-Qaeda movement. The non-autonomous biological entity known as The Lohan shook hands with the Neo-Ottoman empire’s […]
Back in the 1980s, the US supported Afghan “freedom fighters” against the Soviet Union. Those fighters later morphed into the Taliban. And now, the Russians seem to be returning the favor.

The Air Force has taken on most of the financial burden of this air offensive paying for approximately two thirds of the total expenditure. The […]
Eliminating the “head of the snake” does not defeat an enemy, despite recent comments to that effect made by former Lt. Col. (USMC) Oliver North in a Fox News discussion/commentary regarding ISIL/ISIS. A constant and direct assault on the body destroys the heart and will of an opponent. In World War I, WWII, Desert Storm, […]

First obtained and published Wednesday by The […]
We are not talking about the US attacking ISIS fighters with drones. ISIS now claims they have their own weaponized drones that are capable of attacking their enemies. They even claim they have already attacked Iraqi troops with their drones by dropping IED’s on them. ISIS recently has been bragging on social media that they […]
Priority in the new administration is to defeat ISIS and eliminate the threat that the so-called caliphate poses to the United States and the region.
