Some More About Me and My Books by Cliff Popkey

Okay and we’re back. I feel like we just stepped away for a commercial break. I should have had and ad running my latest book adventure. I have recently signed a contract to publish a book with Saga Books. I know they aren’t a big publisher but then I’m not a big author, yet. I was impressed though by the fact that my editor/coach is a New York Times bestselling author in her own right. She was also the one who the publisher asked to read my query and the three chapters I submitted with it. I hope now that she’s got the whole manuscript, Note: the publishers and big time authors don’t call it a book until it’s on a bookshelf. You got to know the lingo in order to play the game. Anyway, I’m hoping she is still impressed. I think she will be.

The title of my soon to be published book is Apollo Road. There isn’t any significance to the title other than it’s the name of a road that a serial killer lives on. The books premise is, What would you do if a psychopathic serial killer decided to make you his best friend? The books main character gets to find out. As the story progresses you’ll find out this psychopath isn’t your everyday run of the mill nut case, just until you find out all about, “Bill”.

I’m hoping it’s released before Christmas, but I haven’t a clue as to what the publishers thinking. As the publication date draws closer, I’ll be sure to let you when you can buy a copy.

So have you downloaded any books from Smashwords? I know some people have. the FREE BOOK CODES are:

RQ93W The Fishing Trip—A Ghost Story
QA46C Reprisal! The Eagle Rises
LB86W Pirates Plunder-A Nate Nevwas Adventure
WZ97D Reprisal! The Eagle’s Gauntlet

I promised to talk about my books and here is a good time to do so. See the second book the free book list-Reprisal! The Eagle Rises. It was that huge book that was actually five books. I’ve got three written, the second one is on the free book list Reprisal! The Eagle’s Gauntlet. The third book in the series,I hope to have published by Christmas as well but I ‘ll wait to tell you about that one. Let’s take a look at the first book in the series Reprisal! The Eagle Rises. Yeah, it’s a thriller. it’s also received five stars from each of the four reviewers.

Here’s the back cover pitch: After America suffers the two largest terrorist attacks in history, billionaire business man Steven Howard takes the war on terror to terrorists by creating a private army disguised as corporate security.

Howard and Charles (Chip) Clarett, newly retired Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and an ex-Marine Corps General) begin tracking down the terrorist faction responsible for the attacks.

What they discover is that newly elected President Alan Starks and his administration are inexplicably refusing to go after the real terrorists, proving the true threat to the country is from within.

As Howard and Clarett seek out the terrorists, they discover that terrorism worldwide is controlled by a sinister group called the Brotherhood of the Sword.

Comprised of the rich and powerful elites of the Middle East and Islamic fundamentalist clergy, the group is convinced they can bring about worldwide Kalafah under the Shiite sect of the religion–If only they can bring down the western powers…Starting with America and Israel.

The true depth of the involvement in American politics is revealed when the hunt for terrorists turns to banking records, and Howard and Clarett follow the money trail to the steps of the White House.
The Battle lines are drawn as the White House plots to place more and more of the country under its control, while reducing or eliminating the role of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Presidents Starks actions force Howard and Clarett to open a second front in their own personal war on terror–a political front fraught with scandal and no holds barred politics of personal destruction; where the winner gains control of the White House and the United States.

The story moves along a brisk pace and there are twists and turns you’ll never see coming and in the end, you’ll be wanting more.Which by the way there is more with Reprisal! The Eagles Gauntlet.

I self published, Reprisal! The Eagle Rises after I got ripped off by a so-called publisher affiliated with AIG. They just wanted my money and nothing else. It’s a hang on by the seat of your pants kind of story that delivers what I’m promising and you can get it for FREE from Smashwords or for just.99 cents at Kindle. By the way, you may have noticed that I’m writing the title to my book quite a few times in this blog. It's to demonstrate how you can promote yourself while blogging. You just have to blog about yourself to pull it off. How ‘d I do? Too much? No, I don’t think so. What book am I hoping you down load and tell all of your friends and family about today? Reprisal! The Eagle Rises.

I dedicated the book in part to my older brother Richard who died of cancer in 2004(?) I try not to dwell on the fact. He was a history professor, teacher, world traveler, fluent in five languages and a real spy. I’d tell you all about him but then I’d have to kill you all and I haven’t the time to chase you all down so in an effort to save myself, I’ll just say he was very smart five doctorates and seven degrees. He caught diplomas like I used to catch footballs. I dedicated the book to him because he had been warning the family, friends and anyone who would listen about the threat posed by the radical Islamists. at Twelve years old he introduced me to Aramco the Saudi Royal family’s oil business and Saudi Arabia. They are not nice, though our government keeps sucking up to them for their oil. It ‘s part of the premise of the book. The other premise, is an age-old truism, that General Clarett states fairly early in the book,

You can’t negotiate from a position of weakness, son,” the General stated patronizingly to the younger man. “You can only surrender from it.”

Yeah it’s politically charged but a great read. if you dare.

The series takes you through the buildup to world war three between Iran and America with a pending invasion of the American Southwest by a huge mercenary army of the disadvantaged from Central and South America, but I’m getting way ahead of myself. Reprisal! The Eagle Rises is an almost out of control thrill ride that will definitely leave begging for more. next we’ll talk about my favor character, Nate Nevwas. He’s the lead in Pirates Plunder. My third book that ended up fourth due a publishing error by me. Oh yeah, he’s free too for a limited time and I’ve corrected the publishing error. I’ve had several people, (publishers tell me the story is great-totally original) tell how much they enjoyed reading it so it’ll get picked up soon, I hope.

I hope to get more feed back, thank you very much those who have commented, I appreciate it. Please keep on commenting and keep on reading the books.

God Bless, Cliff Popkey

Intro To My Books by Cliff Popkey

Hey there, let’s get stated with some basic info about me that may help you understand how I came to be an author. I’m medically retired, something about a nerosystem failure brought on by too many concussions and a genetic failure that cause me to be susceptible to blood clots. I’ve had eight concussions, five from playing football, at one time I was hopeful my suspect skills on the grid iron would lead to a free college education and then to a life of wealth playing in the NFL. Several childhood friends made it to big college game and one made it to the pros, but that wasn’t to be for me, God had a different plan, but I digress. Five concussions from football, two from life, just hitting my head on dumb things and one from my older sister who when I was seven and she was ten, decided my head looked like a softball and whacked it as hard as she could with a baseball bat. Oh, you gotta love that sibling rivalry.
I wasn’t ready to retire, I’d just struggled through two businesses failing and I was recently divorced. I must have done something right because I managed to meet a new woman who became my wife, Donna, and she convinced me to accept the fact that I was in desperate need and should take the disability retirement.She convinced me that we could survive on her income while I battled the Social Security Administration for what turned out to be three long years. So there I was, retired and being a voracious reader, I quickly went through all of the novels that I hadn’t read by my favorite authors and then I went through a number of authors I had just discovered only to one day, a year later, discover I was out of good authors to read. I was bored with TV, movies and just staring at the walls, so I took the leap and started reading lots of authors I had never heard of. I was quickly convinced that I could write better than many of the, what I call the second tier, authors. You might call them Journeymen authors. They can be men or women doesn’t matter. Anyway, I had toyed with the idea of becoming an author when I was laid up after almost having my foot severed by a huge industrial lawn mower, shortly after high school. Thus the non-existent college career majoring in football. it is also a story Ill share with you as we go along, if you chose to become one of my followers. I spend three years struggling to walk again and while I was laid up, I read a lot and I took a creative writing course as part of my short lived college days. I was very creative but I was very inexperienced in life, yeah try telling that to any teenager, I dare you.
The writing I presented to publishers was really quite bad. I wrote it with lots of passion but failed miserably at grammar, spelling, context, sentence structure and … well you get the picture. I got a hundred rejections and a job in an appliance store. Then life got in the way as a family came along with kids and a mortgage. I went on to careers in trucking, warehousing, insurance sales, trash removal, landscaping, carpentry, home improvement sales, building, mobile home sales, politics-I’m reformed, car sales and driving cabs. But I didn’t stop writing, I just wrote for myself. I was a closet writer so to speak. As the years went by I kept reading and reading and reading. Slowly I learned how to write by reading good writers. I still couldn’t tell you if I’m using a dangling participle? Am I?
When I retired and suddenly had time on my hands I started writing in earnest. I decided since I wasn’t going to be able to work outside the home, I need to find something to do at home to keep my sanity and make a few bucks. Writing has fit that bill perfectly. I spend most days writing for ten to sixteen hours and now and then I’ll write around the clock. I take my laptop on trips because I’ll write while I’m hanging out waiting for flights or setting in rest stops taking a break from driving. But as this quotes states, “
What no wife of a writer can ever understand is that a writer is working when he’s staring out of the window. ~Burton Rascoe
I am always writing. I am very lucky that my wife understands and is encouraging me to write. I think she’s just hoping I make it big, so she can go shopping, without me telling her how much she can spend. Yeah, like that works.
So where was I, oh yeah, so I write all the time and I have seven books I have self published to prove it. When I decided to actually write something to share with other people and not just the family dog, I wrote a monster of a first book. I was a 175,000 plus words. The first editor I sent it to told me he’d charge me ten thousand dollars to help me rewrite it so that it was saleable. And oh by the way, it would have to be made into at least three books. I didn’t have ten grand to have him tell me how bad it was, so I took his critique to heart and started reading books on how to write novels and took several online classes, then took another college creative writing class only to have the professor tell me that I didn’t write a bad story; just my mechanics were poor. Just goes to show you that my high school teachers didn’t do me any favors by not making me work harder or at least try to inspire me more. I got lots of free passes because I was good at catching football passes no matter which side of the line of scrimmage I was on.
So my first book became five books now, three of which are completely finished and I’m still working on the last two, but it also became my second book published. The first book I had published is titled: The Fishing Trip-A Ghost Story. My daughter said she wasn’t interested in reading action/adventure books. So as a challenge, I decided to write a horror story. It’s about four friends who are on their annual fishing trip to Lake Michigan for the salmon run and how they, despite knowing better, stay out on the lake well beyond dark. As they finish catching their limit they discover that they can no longer see the light from the Ludington Light House and all of their instruments have failed. So they start trying to reach shore by dead reckoning. Shortly they are alarmed to discover they have gotten turned around somehow and the light is behind them, so they turn around and head for the light, only it winks out after a while and once again they are completely lost on the huge lake.
Now it gets real interesting because they spy an old paddle wheel ferry in the near distance and make for it only to find their is seemingly no one on board. I’d tell you more, but it will ruin it for you when you read it. Suffice to say, it has gotten five stars from several authors and reviewers and only one three star because it wasn’t Steven Kingish enough for their taste. It’s a good read for the young reader as well as the adult. You should check it out, since it is free for the next two weeks. It is a FREE book at Smashwords.com, in fact, four of my seven books are FREE on Smashwords. Here are the FREE book codes:

Getting To Know Me

Getting to know me-Cliff Popkey/author
I am a man of many faces. I’ve had so many different occupations in my life I don’t know where to begin. So I’ll just say I’m experienced. I’ve been a worker doing the lowest of jobs and I’ve been the general manger who was responsible for the whole operation but didn’t get the big bucks. I’ve been a Politian, though I’m now reformed. I’ve been the business owner and made the big bucks and I’ve been the business owner who watch it all collapse, taking me down with it.
I’ve been up, down, inside, and outside, spindled and mutilated. And yet I’m still standing despite the scars. Now I’m an author. I guess I like challenges. When I was a teenager I was told the only way I’d ever be an author was if I went to college and studied literature. That meant spending another four years doing things I had no interest in. Talk about a challenge. It was one challenge I failed at. Well, for me college was the longest two hours of my life, after I was hurt on a summer job and couldn’t play football anymore, I had no interest in college. Football was all I dreamed about as teenager, but God had other plans. Maybe I wasn’t that good at football or maybe I was. The one thing I do know is I’ve gotten a whole lot better as the years have passed. While in college I let the professors tell me, I couldn’t be a writer. Like the doctors, I almost let tell me I wouldn’t walk again. But I did walk and I did at least try to play football again. It took three years to make it onto the field again but I did it.
After that I found once I stopped believing the other people who did their best to talk me down, I could do whatever I really wanted to do. Now that, by it’s self was a trick. Because deciding what I really wanted to do proved to be something that was very difficult indeed. It took most of my life to figure it out. It took me years to understand that I have a gift for making people feel at ease around me and that if I had a good product, I could sell it to almost anyone. That was the supposed fatal flaw, I could sell almost anyone. But I wouldn’t sell everyone cause I didn’t push everyone to buy, I was told I was too nice by numerous slimy sales managers. They were wrong; this nice guy won national awards for selling roofing and for selling preowned manufactured homes one year after another for five years straight. I think I did it because of those other people who said I couldn’t do it.
Writing is like for me. The more I hear how tough it is to get an agent or publishing contract, the harder I try to write. I’ve vastly improved since the first book, “The Fishing Trip-A Ghost Story”. I self published it after three dozen agents refused to represent me. I wonder if it’s because I’m not a college graduate? Oh well, their loss. I will write a best seller and soon. I can feel it.
For me, life is all about persevering, never giving up. Never accepting what they say are my limits. When I was twenty, I received more than a hundred rejections and I’m still receiving them. But you see I believe I can do this. I believe I will be a best seller. I’m not a perfectly polished writer with perfect prose or even good punctuation, but I am very passionate. I am willing to learn and I am going to be a successful author whose name is known. I just am. I will persevere through the challenge and I will make it. If you develop the same attitude, it will happen for you, too. Write what you know and write it with passion, set the world on fire with your dreams –Chris Keys! Oh by the way, I’m retiring Chris Keys, it’s a pen name and I’ll be writing under my real name Cliff Popkey from now on, so look for Cliff Popkey AKA Chris Keys. “Write what you know, write it with passion and set the world on fire with your dreams.” –Cliff Popkey

It been a long time since I posted a blog here. In fact I'd forgotten I even had a blog site. I just got bored with the whole idea of having to write about what others found interesting, like celebrities and such nonsense. But I no longer feel I can keep silent about the state of our country.
Have you looked around. I mean really looked around at it? Probably not. You've been too busy watching America's got talent or some other crap. We have major cities decaying into oblivion. What once was our pride and joy, the manufacturing centers of this country are now rapidly be coming ghost towns filled with blite, grumbling infrastructure and buildings. Hundreds of homes sit vacant across the midwest.
Its happening not only in what is referred to as the rust belt but in the south as well and out in California. Sure some Americans are still trying but our government isn't. They've quit on us for some reason and I think it's personal greed since nearly every Senator and Congressman or woman are in the top one percent of earners in thie country. They have the mentality of misers and hoarders and actually think that tax dollars are theirs and tax cuts is stealing from the government. Don't they know that the government is supposed to be the people? Too many of them vote for whatever, without reading what it is they are voting for because they were promised campaign cash in return. Talk about a conflict of interest. Not to mention by any common sense definition, its bribery. I am afraid for my country. it's begining a death spiral as the cities become waste lands controled by crooked politians. In private business when something doesn't work, IE: make money, you change to something else. In the current poltical climate our government isn't working and yet they continue doing the same thing over and over. Why? Just look at the list of donors to the two parties, they keep recieving stymulas money for failed businesses and then turn around and donate back to the political party or the in many cases the current president's war chest for reelection. It's campaign bribery!
Have you noticed that our government doesn't care that our borders are as porus as they were when this country was founded inthe seventeen hundreds. Are we to become the North American Union with Mexico leading the way? Why? They can't even feed themselves or provide jobs worth having, yet our politians keep holding the door open for them and our banks keep laundering their drug money More bribes.
Look, I'm all for legal immigration but this open borders crap, is just that, crap. How many terrorists have crossed into the country and are waiting for the signal to attack? How many? We don't know because our governement won't pay any attention to our boarders. You better vote in November, because your lives depend on it. Just look at what has happened to us it the last three years. Is that what you really want. Governemnt health care, no jobs, no borders, no enforcement of the law if your of a certain skin color and no accountability in Washington. China is buying huge portions of the Rust Belt, why? What does China know that we don't?
There is no nation on earth who can fight a war against us and win, so they are tearing us down from the inside. it's everywhere you look. The Chinesse are buying our land, the Muslims are trying to undermine the government and replace it with Shiria Law-Islamic religious law and the Mexican's are doing all they can to fill the Southwest with Hispanic people so that they can claim squaters rights and let La Raza- a racist group-take over and return the land to Mexico. Which they sold to us by the 1840's look it up. What's next sell Alaska back to Russia? I'm sure the American Tribes would like their land back as well. Get real people, we can't fix what happened hundreds of years ago by destorying ourselves today. The people calling for such action are either stupid, power hungry themselves and think by doing so they will benefit or they are suicidal and should just end it all and let the rest of us alone. Okay, enough complaining, next time I'll make real suggestions that we need to follow if we're going to survive as a nation.first thing will be jobs and taxes. Get ready you won't like it.       Chris Keys

Islam on attack

Islam Blog: Once more the religion of peace brings you the truth about themselves. In Egypt a reporter who is a woman was attacked by a mob of Muslim men who beta her and raped her for being an infidel bitch. Many of the on lookers said she had it coming for touching a Muslim man. It took a group of Egyptian women and twenty Egyptian soldiers to rescue her from the mob. This type of behavior towards western women, well women in general is happening all the time in Muslim Nations where women are considered les than human and par with cattle or goats.


You need to ask yourself, “Is this what I want for myself or for my daughter?” wake up America this is coming to our shores if we don’t forsake the Political Correct nonsense and take back our country from the weak minded fools that had hi-jacked it while we the stronger minded were to busy to bother with it.



Media CBS News Correspondent Subjected to ‘Brutal and Sustained Sexual Assault’ in Egypt

As a Western journalist covering the resignation of then-Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, CBS News correspondent Lara Logan was reportedly attacked by a mob of protesters while she and her crew navigated through the crowds in Cairo on Feb. 11.



Lara Logan (Image: CBS)

According to a statement released by CBS News Tuesday, Logan was “covering the jubilation in Tahrir Square for a 60 Minutes story when she and her team and their security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration.” After Logan was separated from the rest of her CBS crew, she was brutally attacked, the network confirmed.

The full statement describes Logan’s horrifying ordeal:

On Friday February 11, the day Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak stepped down, CBS correspondent Lara Logan was covering the jubilation in Tahrir Square for a “60 Minutes” story when she and her team and their security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration. It was a mob of more than 200 people whipped into frenzy.

In the crush of the mob, she was separated from her crew. She was surrounded and suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers. She reconnected with the CBS team, returned to her hotel and returned to the United States on the first flight the next morning. She is currently in the hospital recovering.

There will be no further comment from CBS News and correspondent Logan and her family respectfully request privacy at this time.

Before relocating her crew to Cairo where the attack took place, Logan delivered this report from Alexandria where she lent a sympathetic ear to protesters and their anti-Mubarak message:

Austrian Free Speech Activist Faces Jail Time for Criticizing Islam, Shariah Law

In Austria, a free speech activist has been charged with inciting religious hatred and faces three years in prison after criticizing Islam and Shariah law — comments similar to those recently expounded by major European leaders in the UK, France and German on the failures of multiculturalism.

You need to be careful here. Multiculturalism is a creeping disease that will infect our entire society if we are not careful. Forget about being multicultural because the only ones bothering with accepting the other person’s culture is the western white race. The people immigrating into America, Canada, Australia and Europe do so to destroy our culture by demanding that we respect them all the while they are disrespecting us and our culture. The political correction crowd are bending over backwards to make sure that the immigrants aren’t offended by offending the citizen’s intheir country

Honor Killing’: Pakistani Woman Electrocuted for Refusing Arranged Marriage



Relatives of a 21-year-old Pakistani woman are under arrest for allegedly electrocuting her because she secretly married a man they didn’t approve of, police told CNN. Police arrested Saima Bibi’s father and three other relatives after being tipped off by an anonymous caller, said police official Muhammad Ismail.

Bibi – an ethnic Baluch – defied demands from her family to marry a Baluch relative and instead ran away about one month ago to the southern port city of Karachi to marry a fellow villager, police official Rao Zahoor said.

Her father and several other relatives traveled to Karachi and duped her into coming back home. When she didn’t listen to further demands they electrocuted her, he said. [...]

Human rights groups say so-called honor killings – the murder of women accused of infidelity and dishonorable behavior – are a growing problem in parts of Pakistan.

This just the latest in a long line of stories about how women are abused by the Muslims. I can not for the life of me figure out why any woman would knowingly marry a Muslim, or convert to Islam. Wake up ladies! The Muslims treat their women as property. Oh sure he can love you just as he loves the camel he rode in on. But I bet he values the camel higher than he does his woman.

Under Islam, you as a woman have no rights unless the husband gives them to you. You are less than a second class citizen. Your husband can beat you if and when he pleases. You can not divorce him but he can divorce you and should that happen, you receive nothing and are considered an outcast by your family and society.





World Undercover: Documentary Reveals British Mosques Beat Muslim Children…and Worse

Shocking footage of children apparently being hit by their teachers during lessons on the Koran will also be aired on Channel 4′s Dispatches programme on Monday.

A hidden camera installed by a reporter at a school in Birmingham recorded a preacher telling pupils “the disbelievers are the worst creatures, they are the worst creatures”.

The 11-year-olds are then told not to trust more liberal Muslims.

Their teacher said: “The person who’s got less than a fistful of beard, then you should stay away from him the same way you should stay away from a serpent or a snake.”

“The Hindus do, they drink piss, I’ve told you this.

“Do they have any intellect? No.”

Filming intermittently over a period of four months, the camera recorded children being taught a hardline, intolerant and highly anti-social version of Islam.

During the same period our reporter also attended the Markazi Jamia mosque in Keighley, West Yorkshire, after hearing of serious allegations that children were being hit at its madrassa.

Madrassas in the UK are part-time after-school or weekend classes, often held in mosques, where children are taught to read the Koran. In Keighley it is not what they are being taught that is the problem, but how.

Again, Osman went into the mosque and left the camera in the room where classes took place.

The film shows children as young as six sitting on the floor of a large room in the mosque, one of the biggest in the country. The boys are hunched over wooden benches, rocking backwards and forwards as they rote-learn the Koran in Arabic. A man with a long white beard dressed in a traditional shalwar kameez – tunic and trousers – sits at the head of the class.

Periodically he gets up and walks behind the boys. As he passes, the children appear to cower and watch him nervously. It soon becomes clear why.

He unexpectedly raises his hand and slaps a young boy hard on the head. Moments later he strikes another. And then he kicks a third child.

In just two days of filming in December 2010, the camera recorded the teacher hitting children as young as six or seven at least ten times, in less than three hours of lessons.

This is a stunning example of how children are brainwashed in the Islamic culture and how the religion of Islam is not acceptable for modern society or for anyone with half a brain. This behavior is the basis for the Islamic religion. Brainwashing, no freedom of choice, cruelty, hatred and bigotry.

Don’t be fooled by the politically correct crowd into believing that this is just one bad teacher. It is not. It is the norm for Madrassas and it is the norm for the Islamic world, mind set and religion. Wake Up America! This what your children will suffer if you don’t stand against Islam and for Christianity and the Western way of life.

The latest on the peaceful religion of Islam: 2/11/11



Foreword:

Nearly everyday you can find in the news of the world where the Muslims (Islamic Religious followers), in the name of their religion or their beliefs based upon their religious teaching, commit crimes against other people from other religions or those within their own religion. The attacks are because of perceived infractions of Islamic law or beliefs and or the individuals attacked had somehow insulted Islam.



In addition, fairly often, there are also news reports about how we as Americans must learn about the Muslins because some group of progressives have the same misguided beliefs as the Muslims (Socialism) and how in the name of “Political Correctness” we must do all we can to be understanding and respectful of their beliefs and their way of life, while at the same time, they (the Progressives and the whoever they are championing this week) continue to disrespect and diminish America. That is bull hockey!

Implausible Deniability: MSNBC’s Mitchell is Warned by Ex Muslim Brotherhood Member They Want Sharia Law The Next Day Mitchell Says Brotherhood Not Extremists

Andrea Mitchell was at one time considered a moderate Journalist with solid credibility. Too bad those days are long gone. The woman now is one of the best examples of how ill informed the media has become or how stupid they are. The woman along with many of her fellow journalists can not even be honest when it is clear beyond any doubt that what they saying is the truth is a lie of monstrous proportions. She boldly told the lie just one day after being told by a member of the group-the Muslim Brotherhood-how bad they were. As long as this type of hypocrisy is allowed to go on, that it is tolerated by the public by watching the network that puts hypocrites like her on the air, America will continue to be weakened by these fools who are pushing some idiotic agenda of the progressive elite. It is shame how many are so misguided and allow themselves to be manipulated for sake of a few dollars. It is a major disservice to mankind to down play the danger that the Muslims of the world present.

U.S. Intel Director Also Refuses to Recognize Muslim Brotherhood As Extremist

In a House Intelligence Committee hearing Thursday morning, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper refused to admit that the Muslim Brotherhood is an Islamist organization that supports violence, calling the group’s Egyptian branch “largely secular.”

That contradicts what FBI Director Robert Mueller said in the same hearing. Mueller noted that “obviously, elements of the Muslim Brotherhood here and overseas have supported terrorism.”

It also contradicts the Muslim brotherhood itself which had admitted regularly that it’s goal is to control the world thru Caliphate and live under Sharia Law and the Koran.

Just yesterday it was revealed that a 1995 book written by the Brotherhood‘s fifth leader details the group’s objectives, including the “global conquest of Islam” and “reestablishing the Islamic Caliphate, the “public and private duties of jihad,” and the “struggles Muslims must wage against Israel.”

As long as our own government continues to refuse to accept the reality of the world and call a spade a spade for whatever reason they chose not too, America will continue to fall from world power and we will continue to hounded by the lesser powers as being untruthful and untrustworthy.

You can not placate Muslim extremist only surrender and submit to his rule and convert to Islam. Once they feel they have the momentum as far as blunting non-Muslim opposition (we are too afraid of them to act in our own best interest) and that they control the public opinion, they will begin the wholesale slaughter of non-Muslims in an all out effort bring about the 12th Imam and world wide Caliphate.

Each day we fail to address the issue in stark reality, we grow weaker and they grow stronger. Only by stating what the problem is can we start to make in roads to stopping the creeping evil that is Islam.

They are not our friends. They are not a religion of peace and love and they will not ever live peacefully with their non-Muslim neighbors. It is against their religion. It is what they are taught from a very young age and it is their leaders stated goals.

We can not keep bowing to them because they have oil. We have oil too. We need to drill for ours, kick out the Muslims from all western nations. Charge as much for the food stuffs they must buy as they charge for oil and develop new alternative energy so as to be able to leave them isolated in their sand box and the self inflected poverty that the people of the Middle East live in because of their acceptance of the leaders that continue to keep their people in slavery and bondage.

The latest on the peaceful religion of Islam: 2/9/11



Foreword:

Nearly everyday you can find in the news of the world where the Muslims (Islamic Religious followers), in the name of their religion or their beliefs based upon their religious teaching, commit crimes against other people from other religions or those within their own religion. The attacks are because of perceived infractions of Islamic law or beliefs and or the individuals attacked had somehow insulted Islam.



In addition, fairly often, there are also news reports about how we as Americans must learn about the Muslins because some group of progressives have the same misguided beliefs as the Muslims (Socialism) and how in the name of “Political Correctness” we must do all we can to be understanding and respectful of their beliefs and their way of life, while at the same time, they (the Progressives and the whoever they are championing this week) continue to disrespect and diminish America. That is bull hockey!

Egypt Muslim Brotherhood’s Goals Uncovered: Global Islamic Conquest & Caliphate

As anti-government protests continue brewing in Egypt, opposition groups such as the banned Muslim Brotherhood are gaining steam and popularity among disillusioned Egyptians bent on ousting President Hosni Mubarak from office. But excerpts of a 1995 book written by the Muslim Brotherhood‘s fifth leader and translated by Palestinian Media Watch are lending a disturbing look at the group’s views and stated mission.

“Jihad is the Way” is the last of a five-volume work, “The Laws of Da’wa,” written by Mustafa Mashhur, the reported leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt from 1996 until 2002. The Jerusalem Post reports that excerpts from the book detail the Brotherhood’s objectives, including the “global conquest of Islam” and “reestablishing the Islamic Caliphate, the “public and private duties of jihad” and the “struggles Muslims must wage against Israel.”

“The Islamic ummah,” [the book] says, referring to the supranational community of Muslims, “can regain its power and be liberated and assume its rightful position which was intended by Allah, as the most exalted nation among men, as the leaders of humanity.”

Elsewhere, it exhorts Muslims, “Know your status, and believe firmly that you are the masters of the world, even if your enemies desire your degradation.”

The book’s translation was compiled by Palestinian Media Watch founder Itamar Marcus and analyst Nan Jacques Zilberdik. Marcus spoke to the post about what he sees as the danger of downplaying the Brotherhood’s ideology and potential growing role in the political process.

According to Marcus, the Brotherhood differs from international terror groups like al-Qaeda only in tactics, not goals.

Faith Two Christian Teen Girls Allegedly ‘Shot Dead’ in India for Reading Bible

Suspected Islamic militants have killed two Christian teenagers who were reading the Bible in the disputed Kashmir valley, divided between India and Muslim Pakistan, BosNewsLife established Tuesday, February 8.

The victims were identified as Arifa, 17, and Akthar, 19, the daughters of Gulam Nabi Dar, said local missionary Mercy Ciniraj, who knew them well. “The [murdered] girls were believers and used to read the Bible through underground ministries.”

She told BosNewsLife that “the girls were shot dead” last Monday, January 31, in the Baramulla area in Indian-controlled northern Kashmir, bordering Pakistan.

They were “brutally murdered” by at least three fighters of Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan based Islamic militant “terrorist” group, she explained. Local police reportedly said in statements that they found two bodies near their home and that militants were to blame.

WikiLeaks: Saudi Arabia Drastically Overstated Oil Reserves

The leaked cables originated in America‘s embassy in Riyadh and reveal that a senior Saudi government oil executive estimates that the Kingdom’s crude oil market reserves may have been overstated by as much as 40 percent — the equivalent of 300 billion barrels.

The startling revelation comes as the price of oil has soared to more than $100 a barrel in recent weeks due to rising global demand and tensions in the Middle East which threaten to disrupt supply lines.

Sadad al-Husseini, a geologist and former head of exploration at the Saudi oil monopoly Aramco, met the US consul general in Riyadh in November 2007 and told the US diplomat that Aramco’s 12.5m barrel-a-day capacity needed to keep a lid on prices could not be reached. According to the cables, which date between 2007-09, Husseini said Saudi Arabia might reach an output of 12m barrels a day in 10 years but before then – possibly as early as 2012 – global oil production would have hit its highest point. This crunch point is known as “peak oil”.

“Demand [for electricity] is expected to grow 10% a year over the next decade as a result of population and economic growth. As a result it will need to double its generation capacity to 68,000MW in 2018,” it said.

It also reported major project delays and accidents as “evidence that the Saudi Aramco is having to run harder to stay in place – to replace the decline in existing production.“ While fears of premature ”peak oil” and Saudi production problems had been expressed before, no US official has come close to saying this in public.

Yes, religion of peace and love. They demand that they control the world and that all mankind bow to them. They kill children for reading a bible. Do Christians kill Muslims for reading the Koran? I think not. And in their business dealings with us infidels, they don't have to be honest. In fact it is encouraged that they lie to us and cheat us since we are not Muslims. Time to wake up America!

Java, Indonesia a mob of Muslim men using stones, sticks, and machetes to beat members of a minority Muslim sect, leaving three dead. The deaths preceded a separate group’s attack on Christians in western Java Tuesday which left two churches ransacked and burned.

In a separate incident on Tuesday, another Muslim mob became enraged after a Christian man was sentenced to five years in jail for distributing leaflets deemed insulting to Islam. The mob wanted the death penalty. When the sentence was announced, the group stormed the courthouse and torched two nearby Christian churches.

In Texas: From CBSDFW:

Some middle school students’ parents were shocked this week when they found out that two schools in their Mansfield, TX school district will soon be requiring Arabic language and culture courses. It’s a decision those parents say was sprung on them: The Foreign Language Assistance Program (FLAP) grant was awarded to Mansfield ISD last summer by the U.S. Department of Education.

As part of the five-year $1.3 Million grant, Arabic classes would be mandatory at Cross Timbers Intermediate School and Kenneth Davis Elementary School. The program would also be optional for students at T. A. Howard Middle School and Summit High School.

Parents at Cross Timbers say they were caught off-guard by the program, and were surprised the district only told them about it in a meeting Monday night between parents and Mansfield ISD Superintendent Bob Morrison.

The DOE has identified Arabic as a ‘language of the future.’ [...] (this your government at work)

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The founder of a Muslim-oriented New York television station was convicted Monday of beheading his wife in 2009 in the studio the couple had opened to counter negative stereotypes of Muslims after the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

The Pakistan-born Hassan, 46, had been served with divorce papers a week before his wife’s body was found at the offices of Bridges TV in Orchard Park, his claim was that the killing was justified because he was long abused by and afraid of his wife.

ElBaradei: Israel Has Peace Agreement With Mubarak, Not Egypt: One of the key leaders in Egypt’s anti-government movement is continuing to make waves, suggesting that he could soon go from being an “agent of change” to the country’s next president. But what does that mean for Egypt and her allies?

When asked specifically how a new government potentially including the controversial Muslim Brotherhood would affect Egypt’s relationship with Israel, ElBaradei said that Israelis need to understand it’s “impossible to make peace with a single man.”

Caliphate.

Simply, a caliphate is a form of government. More precisely, it is an Islamic state that draws its authority from, and is based upon, Sharia law. Get used to hearing the word; it is the form of government advocated by the Muslim Brotherhood.

What exactly a caliphate looks like depends on whether you are a Sunni or a Shia Muslim. Sunnis believe a caliphate should be a constitutional republic, whose leaders are elected by Muslims. Shias believe the head of state is divinely chosen via a lineage of religious clerics called Imams. Within Egypt, Sunnis outnumber Shias.

Understanding Egypt: Islamic Socialism and the Left” by M. Zuhdi Jasser

“Many have a hard time understanding where the political left in Europe and the United States have common ground with this theo-political Islamist movement. Socialist ideology promotes an oppression of the individual for the collective needs of society and government. Islamist ideology similarly promotes the oppression of the individual for the ‘common good’ of the Islamic state. Both snuff out individual responsibility for tribal collective control.”

Blogging what's the point?

Few of you know that I'm an aspiring novelist. I actually have two books published by this date and a third about to be published. The wirting business is brutal. There is no way to promote yourself that doesn't require a ton of money so that is where I am. I am workimng very hard at raising or saving the money to pay of advertising that will hopefully generate more sales of my books. Thye have sold s few dozen copies but that's where it ends. I've tried all of the supposed money free ways to generate interest and have managed top genreate zero interest. I've joined over thrity social networking sites and have sold zero books on them. I have written blogs on four different sites and have generated zero interest in my work or my blogs. I have guess blogged on a couple of successful internet sites, over 100,000 hits a month, directed towards authors and have sold zero books attributable to having done so. I have also watched a previously unnone author run his first ad on facebook and promptly had a ten point increase in his sales. I have talked with book store managers that have seen unknown authors place their book on a bookstore shelf and not sell a single copy. His advise was to run ads and provide very good terms for the book store to get the book on the shelf. He felt that the two went hand in hand. Advertising and bookstore exposure. naother author stated that he strongly felt that getting accepted by libraries was the key to good sales. He claimed once his books started to be stocked by Libraries they started selling in th bookstores. So as a writer what do we do? I'm opting to try a very diverse approach. Firts I'm going to hire a book seller, someone to hawk my book at book fairs, then I'm going to pay to be listed in a library puchasing guide, then I'm going to pay to have a bunch more reviews generated and re-do book covers to carry them, then I'll be seeking to place my books in indepenedent bookstores and gift shops as well as hospital gift shops any way I can. Then I'm going to write more books and advertise them as well. It's all I can think of at the moment and so, if you don't hear from me on this or any other blog for a while, well I think you got the message. Blogs don't sell books.

Heading to ilrelevance!

Did you even notice? There was a huge shift in power the other day. one that singles our (America's) demise.
Oh, we would blink out of existance in an instant, but we have started down the slippery slope to the junk heap of history. what Am I talking about? Well pay attention. Let's start with we havethe largest debt in the histroy of the world. Thennthrow in that our government is more concerned with taking away our freedoms and gaining control of our every day lives then building up our country's world position or our economy and then add China's new military. The stealth military. The day before our Secretary of Defense stop by their country to engage in talks on by lateral cooperation, they unveil their newest stealth fighter and talk about the other weapons systems. All of which will make ours obsilete, as in second best. We are no longer the world's super power. We are now no more powerful than France or England, soon if our leaders in Washington have theri way we'll be no more powerful than Cananda or Mexico and just as poor. America has some big problems to overcome and if we don't hurry, it'll be a case of could of, would of, should of as we pass trhe refired beans and rice donanted to help save the starving welfare state that used to be America and Tiawan will be a proveince of China one more without them having to fire a shot, because we would have the money of the technology to challenge them or defeat them. we'll just have to submit to them. Wake up America. What will you tell your children when the ask why you didn't do anything to stop America's collapse. Oh I know, you were tooo busy playing that new video game or to busy watching American idol.

Reprisal!The Eagle Rsies! By Chris Keys

My second book has now been on the market ninety days and it has recieved some excellent reviews and I've actually manged to sell a few dozen copies. By Steven kings defintion, Having recieved a check for my work and actually paid bills with it, I'm now offically a professional author. Yeah Me!
The synopiss for The Eagle Rises! is posted here in hopes it'll peak some interest and under it you'll find an excerpt. Plus you'll see the synopissi for my second Reprisal! Book-Reprisal! The Eagle's Guantlet! and a short excerpt from it as well.
For those of you new to the writing game amd maybe some who aren't so new, I can tell you that the hard part wasn't writing the book. It editing, proofing and now advertising the book. I wrote the first darft of Reprisal! The Eagle Rises! over six months span tghree years ago and that wa when it started to get exiting. I had a publisher interested and an agent as well, though both turned out to be con artists just looking to drag out the editing process to make money which really put a damper on my efforts to get to be a successful published author. But i was dterrmente to get my book out to the public and I took on the challenege of getting my book published by myself. Now any of the many authors who have taken this route can tell you that it seems pretty easy when you first start out. It's really a simple step by step process that will end with your being listed on Amazon and a dozen other sites. However, the process as simple as it seemis isn't easy.
All the things that a publisher does, you will have to do. You'll have to find an editor you can work with and who won't try to change what you have written into something they would like to write. This can take time, lots of time. I went through five editors-four of which could have cared less if they actual help me get the book out, they just wanted money. The fifth, I was lucky with and they actually wnat to help me put out the best book I can, while still leaving it in my style of writing. all told the editing process took me more than to years of trial and error, though I have the my future edits covered. So the first step is to find an editor you can work with. Then you have top find a proof reader. I know lots of people think this step isn't necessary, but they'd be wrong. a proof reader is eccential if you hope to put as flawless a book as possible. Thye will ususally find those typo's and forgotten words that you and the editor will skip right over. It's because you've read your novel twenty to thirty times at least and you klow what is supposed to be written there so your mind will automatically skip the little word errors and tell you it is there. There have ben studies done by universities that bare this out. words like to, the, of, are, be, had, a are filled in by your mind because it knows its supposed to be there, but in reality the word isn't there and the first reader to pickup your book
wil spot the mistake instantly. Now that's a problem and can ruin all of your future sales if you're not careful. Okay you've gotten your proof reading done now what?
Now you have to pick a printer for your book. Do you go with a traditinal printer that will require you to print a thousand copies, all paid for up front or do you go with a POD publisher or an Ebook publisher. Do you use a printer/publisher who will handle the books layout and formatting, printing and distribution for a fee or try to do itself? It can be a daunting task, requiring a good deal of reaserch on your behalf. They are not all the same and they charge widely different prices for their sevices. You can spend thousands of dollars or as little as a few hundred. By the way there is no free book publishing unless you publish strictly as an ebook with a publisher that uses word as a platform and they will supply a free ISBN number and you don't care to be officially copyrighted. Remember, free isn't always free, many of the supposed free publishers will simply add the cost of their sevices to the final coat of your book at printing and it'll leave you with little or no royality and a book priced out of the market.
Let's say you've made that decission and you now ready to move on. Okay, now you have to format the book to meet the printers requirements. Its really not that difficult once you learn the terminology and have and understanding of all the features of your computer. Things like internal columns, blank spaces, tab settings and space bar usage gave me fits. It took me two weeks to discover what they were even talking about. While I was trying to learn the terminology, I was also trying to figure out the size, print style, the number of leafs, the paper color and the typeset, I wanted to use. All of these things translate into costs that are added to the price of the printing of your book so choose wisely or you may find you have a book to sell that is priced above and beyond every other book on the market, which usually tramslates into no sales.
In addtion to the printuing of the book, you have at this time got to decide if your going to have a professional create your cover or if your going to try and create one from one of the programs available on the net or from your printer/publisher. When you consider that the cover is what first attracts the reader to your book, I'd preferr to use a professional. Let's face it. The big publishing houses are using professional artists to make their covers and unless your an artist you probably won't create a cover quite as good as the pros do. How many books have you purcahsed that had less than interesting and exciting cover? Exactly. If you wouldn't buy the book with that cover on it, don't use that cover. Covers usually cost a few hundred dollars for a professional to make one up for you. They can also cost thousands of dollars, when you get involved with an artist who is of the impressionthat his or her work is so much better tahn anyone elses that they should be paid big bucks. As new writter, I don't recommend using the high priced artists, seek out the moderate priced artists and reveiw their work before you hire them. If they have made other covers that you like chances are they will be able to make a book cover that works for your book. The cover itself will have to be formatted to meet the printers requirement both of which i believe is best left to the professional because they've done this all before. Part of what the printers require is having the right amount of bleed and the correct thickness of the binding.
Once the Cover and the ineterior have been submitted the printer/publisher will then print a proof copy. This cost a few bucks and once you have your proof you then have to read it over and reply to the printer that its either good to go or point out what the problems are.
at this point the printer publisher will offer you, usually market help. This could be in the form of expanded distribution or specialize programs. The cost of which can vary from a few dollars to thousands, but they typically do not include any market place advertising. They typically include inclussion on different lists, maybe book fair displays, reviews in certain web magazines and other publication, but no actual radio of television ads.
A big part of what the traditional publisher does for you, is they get your book an official copyright. They fill in the application and have it registered at the Library of Congress. If your book is not officially copyrighted and listed with the Library of Congress, most libraries will not deal with you, so no library sales which can be crucial to actually becoming known author and especially if you want to become a bestseller. Libraries can make you a best seller overnight. So I highly recommend that you do this.
Okay now you have a book, its copyrighted, your on the lists that stores and libraries can pick your book from and yet your not selling very many books.
Now you need reviews, actually you should satr trying to get reviews as soon as your ready to upload the book to the printer/publisher. Most reveiwers require only an email-word formatted manuscript to review but some require the actual book, which is a pain because you want the reviewers blub to go the cover. But what you can, when you can. You can't have too many reviews or book blurbs. That would be a short sentence or two telling everyone how great your book is from an established author or celebrity. Expect a lot of rejection and a number fo authors with good intensions that will fail to actually read the book or manuscript you sent them.
Now that you have dozens of great reviews why isn't your book selling? The buying public doesn't know your out there try to sell them a book is why. You'll need to do some advertising. Advertsing comes in many forms and at many different expense levels. Typically, the less expensive the advertising the less income it generates. Free advertisng is the best, but it doesn't always translate into sales, be prepared to work three or four times as hard to get your book sold as you di to write it. It is a business, your business.
I recommend that you start with simple things like business cards, posters and book signing freebees, like pens and book markers. I'd go to every independent books store which an a reasinable drive form your home. I say reasonable because, what is reasonable for me, living Southwest Florida may not be reasonable fot eh you living in Great Falls, Montana. I have to cover over a hundreds miles north of my home to get about fifty stores. where as someone living in New Jersey or Conneticut will have hundreds with fifty miles of their home. It all depends on hoiw back you want it and how big your budget is.
I also recopmmend that yoiu advertise on internet sites that are directed towards your type of reader. This will be based on the genre in which you write. You may not want top advertise your romance novel on Rush Limbaugh anymore than you'd want to advertise your polictical commentary book on a round table discussion show for romance novel readers. You need to understand who is likely to buy your book and advertise where you will most likely been seen by those readers.
Don't let the sllw start discourage you. Rome wasn't built in a day and if you haveto save to run an ad for a few months then so be it. Other ways you could advertise that might be a better bang of your buck. that I haven't tried yet are, hire a professional bok seller to take your book around to the book fairs across the country or to hire an bookseller that will go to all the independent book stores across the country. Be prepared to pay some moeny for their help less than ads usually and to provide them with a few dozen copies of your books for them to display. Oh yes, about the independent bookstores. You're new to the book selling market, you may want to consider offering your books on consignment to the book stores as an incentive to carry your books. that way they have to pay until after the book sells. Be sure provide book marks for free at the cashiers, posters they can hang in wondows or in the store and offer to do book signings with newspaper advertising to ensure the signing draws a crowd. Don't forget to to try and place your books in marina's, gift shops, hospital gift shops, even the big truck stops on the highways. if you can find the way into the airport giftshop market that is a huge potential selling platform for your books as well. next time your in the ariport check out the newstand yoiu find only a hand full of books for sale. wouldn't that be nice to only have a few to compete against.
Be sure to check out my excerpts and my synopsis below and good luck. I'll see you in on the best seller list.

Synopsis for Reprisal! The Eagle Rises!
By Chris Keys

  After America suffers the two largest terrorist attacks in history, billionaire businessman Steven Howard takes the war on terror to the terrorists. Creating a private army disguised as corporate security.
  Howard and the newly retired Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and ex-Marine Corp General Charles (Chip) Clarett, begin tracking down the terrorist responsible for the attacks on America and the deaths of the General’s grand children, only to discover newly elected President Alan Starks and his administration are inexplicably refusing to go after the real terrorists, proving the true threat to country is from within.
  When the hunt for terrorists turns to banking records, Howard and Clarett follow the money trail to the White House. Financial records suggest the new President and his staff have been bought and paid for by the very men long suspected of being the power behind Islamic fundamentalist terror. Their financial influence allows them to dictate America’s foreign and domestic policies, exerting more and more influence over those, who are in positions of power, through bribery extortion and murder.
  Battle lines are drawn, with the White House plotting to take more and more control of the country as a whole, while reducing or eliminating the role of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. President Starks’ scheming forces Howard and Clarett to open a second front in their personal war on terror. A political front, fraught with scandal and the no holds barred politics of personal destruction; with the prize to winner, of not only the White House, but the country itself.
  Take a wild ride tracking down the terrorists plotting a third attack on America, in the tropical paradise of Cuba, as the Kilauea Security Force begins fulfilling their role as a force for Reprisal!

Excerpt from the Eagle Rises!

The wind was howling and a heavy drizzle, blanketed what seemed to be the entire world, as Steven arrived at the historic Fort Story Beach. The beach is part of First Landing State Park of Virginia. It was the site of the first landing on April 27, 1607, of the Jamestown Colonists, before they moved further upriver to the famous Jamestown settlement.


Steven‟s limousine pulled to a stop in the beach parking area and for a moment he considered not getting out. Beaches in Virginia at Thanksgiving were either mild and sunny, or cold and rainy. Today was definitely a cold, rainy day.

Looking around the parking lot, as he stepped from the safety and warmth of his limousine, Steven noticed that there was only one other car in the parking area and it belonged to Chip. Steven thought he had to be an idiot, to be here in this kind of weather. Hell, he‟d be lucky if he only caught a cold, but Chip‟s secretary, Captain Rutland, had asked him to meet Chip here, saying it was urgent, and so here he was.

Steven pulled his coat collar as high as he could on his neck, opened his umbrella and tucked his head down. He used the umbrella as shield against the wind and rain as he walked. He then strode across the sands towards the solitary figure, standing just off the high tide line, while his security detail fanned out, encircling the two men in a defensive perimeter, similar to the type that the secret service used to protect the President.

All of the security men were dressed in rain slickers, ball caps and no fog rain goggles. They each carried an MP10 in plain sight and Sig-Sauer forty caliber handguns under their slickers. Steven‟s chauffeur, who doubled as Steven‟s personal body guard, provided additional up close and personal protection by walking ten feet or so behind Steven. He was also carrying an MP10, but his was under his overcoat. It had a collapsible stock, which allowed it to be pretty much undetectable to the untrained eye.

150

A quarter mile away, at the entrance to the park, was a van with five more men, ready at a moment‟s notice to intervene on Steven‟s behalf.

As he approached Chip, Steven called out. “Hey buddy, why the cloak and dagger stuff?”

Chip didn‟t answer and he didn‟t turn around. Steven stepped up next to him and stood looking, as Chip was doing, out to sea. The white caps danced in the chill wind until they blended with the horizon or were lost in the rain. After a few moments of awkward silence, Steven asked, “What are we doing here, Chip?”

Chip seemed to shrug his shoulders, his gaze remaining focused on the sea. Steven stood quiet for a few more minutes then, touched his friends arm, while looking at his face asked. “Care to share my umbrella?” When Chip didn‟t move, Steven asked. “What‟s wrong, Chip?”

Chip blinked his eyes and sighed before he answered. He then he stated quietly, “They killed them!” His eyes continued to look straight ahead, as the wind driven rain pelted his face.

“Who killed who?” Steven asked.

“The terrorists killed Elaine and the kids! The killed Ryan and Nichol, they were just babies.” Chip stated through a catch in his voice. Chip‟s eyes appeared to be on the verge of tears, or maybe he was already crying, it was hard to tell in the rain.

“Elaine and the kids were in Houston?” Steven inquired.

“They were in San Antonio at the shopping mall that the terrorists hit Friday morning.”

“Oh God no! That can‟t be. Oh, no Chip, I‟m so sorry! Let‟s get you on my plane, I‟ll fly you there. Come on let‟s get you to the airport.” Steven offered, as he started to turn away.

“That won‟t change anything or help anyone. David has his friends to console him. We were never that kind of close, anyway. I‟ll attend the funerals, or rather the funeral, after the medical examiner confirms the IDs and cause of death. Then, I‟ll catch a flight on my own.”

“I won‟t hear of it. Let me fly you there. I know that Mary will want us to be there for you and David. You‟re family, as far as we‟re concerned.”

“No, David wants a very private ceremony, just a priest, him and I, at the internment. It‟s a cremation. All three will be buried together.” Chip replied with a quiet sob, his pain showing on his face, as well as in his voice.

Steven took no offense. He knew his friend was hurting bad and he was struggling to vent his pain. They stood together looking out at the sea and after several minutes Steven placed his hand on Chips shoulder. “Come on, let‟s get out of the rain and find a place to have a drink. I know you can use one.”

“I need to know a few things, Steven.” Chip blurted out. He failed to move at his friend‟s touch.

“Like what?” Steven asked, with a puzzled expression on his face, as he turned his back to the rain.

“How committed are you?” Chip asked.

“How committed to what?” Steven asked.

“I turned in my retirement papers this morning. And now I need to know, if you were serious about your private army, or rather your security force?”

“I‟m very serious!”

“I‟m not talking about some half assed operation. It has to be all or nothing.” Chip stated brusquely.

“What would you like me to do to convince you, write it in blood or something?” Steven teased, trying to lighten the mood a bit.

Chip turned and looked his friend directly in the eye. “That would be a start!” he stated coldly, without a hint of humor. After a moment of silence, still staring at his friend, Chip continued in a stern, clear voice. “There‟s going to be lots of blood. The people you‟re asking me to protect you from don‟t care if they live or die, and they certainly want to kill you and me! There is likely to be an ocean of blood, and it‟ll get on everyone and everything close to it. There won‟t be any positive spin to put on this, if the wrong people find out. Everything and everyone, you hold dear, will be at risk!”

“Like, they aren‟t now!” Steven blurted out. “I‟m a target and my family is a target, just because I‟m successful. The fact that I‟m a westerner, is icing on the cake! Look around,” Steven loudly uttered as he waved his arms expansively, “you think I like, having to travel with this circus? And you know my family has even more people watching them. I don‟t have a choice. I‟ve got to do what I‟ve got to do, to protect my family, my company and my country. Yeah, I‟m prepared to take the heat. The group will provide everything and we won‟t spare the money to do more, or to get the best of both men and equipment. You have carte blanche. You‟re in charge, totally and completely.” Steven stated, with an air of finality.

“I‟ll walk the minute you try to tell me to ace some politico here in the States or a business suit that you simply don‟t like. I‟ll also spill everything to anyone who‟ll listen. The only rules I‟ll accept are the Marguis of Queensbury Rules.” Chip stated flatly.

“What are those?”

“Those I place on myself. It‟s a deal breaker.”

“You‟ll have the final say, on everything we do.” Steven assured him once more.

“The first ops will be to go after the cell that killed my family!” Chip‟s voice was hard and final. His eyes were locked on his friend in a cold stare.

“I can live with that, as long as you also have teams working on the regular protection details and boosting corporate security.” Steven stated, as he looked off in the distance, not wanting to see this side of his friend, he hesitated for a moment. “I know you. You don‟t think the government will do anything about the attacks, right? You feel the only way to get justice is to kill them yourself, right?”Steven asked leading questions, but Chip already knew where he was headed. “Now who‟s on the ego and power trip? Huh?” Steven was reminding Chip of the night they talked about Steven‟s reasons for wanting to do this.

Chip‟s expression didn‟t change and his words were hard as stone. “I don‟t care how you feel about this. It‟s another deal breaker. You know damn well, just as I do, the government won‟t

153

bother to find them. They will not take the action needed to ensure that there will never be another attack, because someone, somewhere, will be offended if they do! They‟ll bend over backwards to keep things politically correct.” Chip snarled.

“If you have half the connections and half the intelligence capabilities you claim, we can find them and we can kill every last son of a bitch. It‟s time that we started acting like them and started terrorizing them. That‟s the deal. Take it or leave it!” his voice sharp was as a razor‟s edge

Steven stood staring out to sea for several moments before he spoke again, “So why did we have to meet out here, in the rain?”

“Because I didn‟t come to this decision lightly and I didn‟t want anyone watching or listening. The rain causes problems for prying eyes and ears. But mostly, I didn‟t want to taint my office or yours with talk of treason.” The General stated.

“I am turning my back on my government and my country, which I have spent my whole adult life supporting and defending. That stops today! The assholes in charge do not deserve my loyalty. They‟re inaction has caused the death of my family, and will cause the death of my country, if I don‟t take a stand.

The Declaration of Independence or maybe it was Thomas Jefferson, who said, “For evil to triumph, it only takes good men to do nothing.” I‟ve stopped being a good man doing nothing! So where‟s my post?” Chip curtly asked.

“I think you‟ll find it satisfactory. Have you got time for a trip today?” Steve put his hand on Chip‟s shoulder. This time, Chip let him lead him to the car.

Excerpt for Reprisal! The Eagle's Gauntlet!
“It is time to go!” Ahmed yelled, as he burst through the door of the bedroom where Ashrawl was sleeping. It was just after 11:30 p.m. Ashrawl took several moments to push the sleep away before he asked, “What is happening?”


“No questions! Hurry and get dress! It is time to go!” Ahmed yelled again, giving Ashrawl a withering gaze, while he loaded Ashrawl’s luggage into his arms.

“I need my black suitcase. Where’s my luggage?” Ashrawl asked, as he pulled on his pants and looked about the room for his shirt and shoes.

“I have your luggage. Now move it before they arrive and you are dead!” Ahmed shouted, as he stepped in to the hallway, looking both ways before heading to the stairs.

“Are the Israelis here?” Ashrawl called out, as he slipped his shoes on and stumbled after Ahmed.

“Shut up! Follow me, quickly.” Ahmed turned and walked briskly down the hall, Ashrawl’s luggage tucked under one arm. When he reached the stairs, he threw open the door, which banged loudly against the wall, gave a fleeting glance back, to be sure his charge was following, and then bounded down the stairs as quickly as he could.

Ashrawl stumbled down the hallway, trying to slip his shirt on and run at the same time. A look of terror was etched on his face.

At the bottom of the stairs, Ahmed was waiting for Ashrawl. He held up his hand for him to stop, as he slowly opened the door and peaked into the dark parking garage. Several moments passed, as he listened closely for any sound that should not be there. With his patience low and his fear high, Ashrawl started to speak, but before he could do more than draw a breath, Ahmed turned and cut him off, with a look that could have killed.

Once Ahmed was satisfied that they were alone, he slipped a small pen light from his pocket and fanned it about the garage, as a last precaution before stepping thru the door. Ashrawl followed close behind Ahmed, his eyes searching for anything that might be trouble.

Suddenly a deep thud reverberated throughout the garage and Ahmed dropped to his knees, where he remained frozen for several seconds, while Ashrawl stood trembling, a few steps behind him. When the sound died away, Ahmed stood and started to run towards a group of a half dozen parked cars. The quickness of Ahmed’s move took Ashrawl by surprise, and in his hast to follow, he tripped and fell face first into the sandy floor of the garage.

Picking himself up, Ashrawl stumbled after Ahmed, but before they could reach the group of vehicles, a series of five explosions, in quick succession, reverberated through the garage.

The force of the shock wave, reverberating through the structure, knocked both of the men to the ground. Sand, dust and small pieces of concrete fell from the ceiling above them. Gathering his wits, Ahmed quickly threw Ashrawl’s luggage into the boot of a dark green Mercedes, and began waving for Ashrawl to hurry.

The sound of heavy machine guns could be heard overhead, as Ashrawl reached the car where Ahmed roughly shoved him into the back seat. Ahmed leapt into the driver’s seat, ordering Ashrawl to lie on the floor and be quiet, threatening to kill Ashrawl himself, if he couldn’t handle it.

They exited the garage a few streets over from the safe house and Ahmed quickly made several turns, all the while checking for anyone following them. He did not turn on the cars headlamps, which made the rapid trip through the narrow streets an exciting adventure, much like a roller coaster ride at an amusement park, with your eyes closed. The alternative would have been to alert the Israelis to a car driving away from the area of the safe house, which was under attack, and invite a rocket up the tail pipe for their trouble.

It took twenty minutes to slip out of Nablus, driving quickly, without the benefit of the headlamps. Ahmed had several close calls, missing pedestrians by inches, as he swung around blind corners. Several times, he even scraped the fenders of other cars and buildings, but at last they had made it out of the city, and no one appeared to be following them. Praise be to Allah!

An hour and a half later, they stopped in front of a one story, mud brick structure, set behind a low stucco wall, surrounded by olive orchards. The house was dark and run down. It appeared to have been abandoned.

Ahmed exited the car and retrieved the luggage from the boot, setting it down in a cloud of dust just inside the wall. He then opened the rear door of the car and ordered Ashrawl out of the car.

David Ashrawl slowly crawled out of the car and stretched. He looked around, peering into the darkness, and seeing nothing but the dark shadow of this old, run down house. “Where are we?” he asked.

“You don’t need to know.” Ahmed stated curtly.

“What are you saying? I’m the one, whose life is on the line here. I need to know where we are.” Ashrawl whined.

Ahmed turned towards Ashrawl, grabbed the man by the throat and lifted him off the ground. Ashrawl’s eyes went wide, as he squirmed and wiggled, but he was held tight by Ahmed’s powerful grip. Pulling Ashrawl close, Ahmed spoke quietly, venom dripping from his words.

“You are a cockroach, who is afraid of his own shadow. You live in luxury, while your people die, struggling to escape the strangle hold of the Israelis and the Great Satan, America. I am a soldier in the service of Allah, so I must follow my orders and protect you. I do not have to like it, nor do I have to protect you further.” With that, Ahmed tossed Ashrawl to the ground, climbed into the car and drove away. Ashrawl sat for several moments, watching the tail lights fade into the distance before he stood. He then stood and began to dust himself off. He was startled by the sudden appearance of a man, who stepped out of a deep shadow to left side of the house, holding an assault rifle in front of him, “Ashrawl?”

“Yes” Ashrawl answered, not at all sure what to do.

“Pickup your luggage and follow me.” the man stated, as he turned and walked around the corner of the building.

A Needed Marketing Spark by Chris Keys author of The Fishing Trip-A Ghost story! and Reprisal! The Eagle Rises!

First off, I'd like to thank Tony for allowing me this opportunity to provide a guest blog for him, despite the fact that I'm not a recognized marketing expert. My claim to fame or infirmary is that I'm an independent author with two books to my credit. The Fishing Trip-A Ghost Story and Reprisal! The Eagle Rises! Both are available from CreateSpace and Amazon, and have received great reviews. I've even managed to actually sell a few dozen copies of each, which brings us to the real issue. If you're reading this, you're probably an author yourself or an aspiring one and you're reading this with the hope of finding that one gem of marketing wisdom that will provide a much needed spark to your writing career. I'd really like to say, "Here it is!", but that wouldn't be true.



Prior to deciding I could write stories well enough to be understood and enjoyed by most people, I worked in marketing, sales to be more precise. For over twenty five years, I sold things, lots of things. I sold construction services, trash services, food (Wholesale), cars, landscaping services, transportation services, stereo's (when that used to be the state of the art), appliances, real estate and myself (politics).



The overall theme, that all of these different endeavors taught me about marketing, is that there isn't a single method of marketing that works to sell all things, all the time. It has always taken a mix of approaches to marketing to catch the public's attention. Some products required flyers and yellow pages ads. Some require newspaper ads and phone calls. Others, required mailers and others still, require mailers and billboards, while making hundreds of cold calls. Writing is no different.



As an independent writer especially, our job, mine included, is to get our work noticed, (I.E. to sell books), otherwise, it's just a hobby. It is not an easy task. Which explains why the big publishers, are so reluctant to give new authors a chance. Unless they can be confident they will make money off of a book, usually based on the writer's celebrity status or their industry or political connections or their previous track record, they don't offer a contract. In today's market, the big publishers are totally unwilling to take a chance on an unknown. Many of the authors, you may think are new authors. Really are seasoned independent authors, who finally managed to get the attention of a publisher by selling a large number of books on their own. A writer I really enjoy is Vince Flynn. He started as an independent author just we are. He struggled to get the public to take notice. But through perseverance, he found the right combination of marketing approaches and he managed to sell enough books, that a publisher took notice and as they, say the rest is history.



In the last two years, due to limited finances, I have strived to promote myself through the internet using social interaction sites and word of mouth. It has worked to some extent but it hasn't exactly made me a household name. My next step is going to be a more direct approach. I will be contacting every independent bookstore within a hundred miles of where I live (that's because of where I live, your area may be smaller or larger) and request they carry my books. I'll be doing this on a consignment basis, so that there isn't any cost to them, other than a little bookshelf space. This is a twist on a marketing concept that has worked many times for me in the past, known as cold calling. It's far more difficult for the customer, the bookstore owner or manager, to ignore or refuse you, when you're standing right in front of them.



I know many of you are saying, "I can't do that. I'm not a salesman. I'm a writer." Well, I hate to be the one to tell you, but writing is selling. You're selling your visions, your beliefs, your hopes and dreams. Your first customer, as an independent author, is the bookstore manager, who has to be convinced that he will be able to sell your book, because that is how they make a living. If the books don't sell, they lose their job. So it's important that you be able to demonstrate why your book should be there, rather than someone else's. As an independent author, you don't have a big marketing department placing ads across the country in big publications that the bookstore manager can count on to bring customers into their store to buy your book. So you have to sell him or her, on you. Plus you'll need to make it as painless as possible, for them to help you.



The way that you can do that is by providing them with copies of your positive reviews. You can also provide them with cheap but tasteful posters of your book covers suitable for hanging in their stores or in their store's windows. You may also want provide them with a list of any social networking sites you're on and have been using to promote your books, along with your Website address. The more you can show them that you're actively promoting yourself, the better. Don't forget to offer to do book signings in their store. Be sure have a plan for promoting those book signings and explain it to the store manager, so they can be reasonably sure that if they agree, the signings will draw as many people as possible, because that is still a very good way to sell books. Yes, it is a lot of work. What? You were thinking, you'd just write a book and then just sit back and count the money coming in?



My best advice, based on my experience thus far in promoting my own books, The Fishing Trip-A Ghost Story and Reprisal! The Eagle Rises! is to do as much self promotion as possible, utilizing as many different methods as possible. The second thing I am hoping to be able to do this year is to actually buy ads on different internet sites like Facebook, My Space, and others. I know, it is expensive, but even a small ad on a site that is influential with the type of person who is your target reader, with pay for itself, if the story you've written is at least half decent. Whatever promotional choices you make, be sure to keep your budget in mind and don't spread yourself too thin or too thick. It will more than likely take a mix of marketing efforts to make the sale. Plus remember, writing is now your own small business and treat it that way. If you work at it and work it smart, you can't help but become successful. Good Luck and I hope to see you on the best sellers list.

It must be me!

Yeah I'm still here! I'm still watching the country slowly be toirn apart by our benevolent elitist leaders, Obama, Reid, Polosi and Biden. we can't let our guard down now. Your freedom and and your children's fuitures arew at stake!
I guess it's just me, but didn't the progressives and democrats just over a month ago suffer the largest single sided defeat in American Political history? The American people clearly told congress and the president that they didn't want what they were selling and yet here in the lame duck session the lame duck Democrats, Ried and Pelosi (I know they got reelected by some extremely uninformed people) are doing all they can to pass either through legislation or by non-voting regulations ordered by progressive bureacrats at the FDA, FCC, EPA DOJ, to force us to accept their agenda. Obama, Biden, Reid and Pelosi are clearly not working for America. They continue to push for they elitist agenda which is clearly designed to destory America as a world power and the one true beacon of light and fredom in the world. Contact your senators and congress people and tell them to stop this #%$#%^. Apparently we have to do more than slap them down to get them to listen. I'm afraid for our country that it will take a shooting war to get rid of these fruit cakes! Chris Keys

THE HARD TRUTH by CHRIS KEYS

THE HARD TRUTH by CHRIS KEYS

Despite being a big proponent of networking, I'm finding it isn't a very good or effective tool for selling books. Most of the people on the sites are there to either learn more about writing, to simply socialize or to sell a book themselves. I know it's not what us self-published authors want to hear buy, it's true. Unfortunately to sell books, you have to get noticed by the public. The majority of the public isn't on the social networking sites looking for books. They are reading newspapers, magazines about books, looking over the selection in book stores or glancing at ads they see on their favorite websites, or facebook. The old adage is true. It takes money to make money. So, since most of us aren't flush with disposable income, I would suggest that you do your homework and choose wisely, as they say the best fit for your book. Good luck, because even if you are an extremely good writer unless the public knows about you, no one will be buying your book. Chris

Speech by Geert Wilders of the Dutch Parliament

For those of you who have been following my exposes about muslins and you may have thought I was just a little bit off, here is a leading European Statesman talking about the Muslim problems the world faces. Here in America we are facing the same problems as they are in Europe, except that ours is a two front war. We also have the hispanics who refuse to assimilate into our society and wave the Mexican flag indefinance of
our laws, traditions and morals.


I've been trying to keep my time at the computer at a minimum, but after reading this one, I felt it certainly should be circulated. As I read through it, the thought stayed with me to check it out with Snopes and TruthOrFiction, although I felt it was true. .Snopes is already listed at the bottom of this email. Seeing and hearing what is going on in other countries and now even in our USA, I see it spreading like thick molasses on a plate, slowly expanding across our country as well. I have Muslim friends. It is difficult for me to think they would think differently than how I know them now. This man, Geert Wilders, seems to have his pulse on the situation in Europe. Perhaps we should pay more attention to what is going on over there AND right here at home, too. This Will Give You Cold Chills! Your California friend.

Geert Wilders is a Dutch Member of Parliament.
Below is the speech of Geert Wilders..Chairman..Party for Freedom..the Netherlands
Speaking at the Four Seasons, New York
Introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem

Dear friends,
Thank you very much for inviting me.
I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.

First I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe . Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem .
The Europe you know is changing. You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.

All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe . These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe , street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.

 There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe . With larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: We Rule.

Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam , Marseille and Malmo in Sweden . In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities.

In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims.

Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear 'whore, whore'. Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in their (the muslim) country of origin.

In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin . The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.

In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a Non-Muslim man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels, because he was drinking during the Ramadan.

Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of Anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya, Israel . I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization.

A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live in Europe . San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.

 Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-Immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France . One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide Caliphate. Muslims demand what they call 'respect'. And this is how we give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays.

The Christian-Democratic Attorney General is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey .

Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example, against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus. I call the perpetrators 'settlers'. Because that is what they are. They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam.. Therefore, they are settlers.

Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against Non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.

The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped into one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages - at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.

Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means 'submission'. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.

Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in the world', and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran. The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel. First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz, second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.

This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam's territorial advance. Israel is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines, Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan, Lebanon, and Aceh in Indonesia. Israel is simply in the way. The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.

The war against Israel is not a war against Israel . It is a war against the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us.. If there would have been no Israel, Islamic Imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.

Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West. It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. If they can get Israel, they can get everything. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a 'right-wing extremists' or 'racists'. In my country, the Netherlands, 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat. Yet there is a greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome , Athens and Jerusalem.

Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout Europe , American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish. My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. We can only hand over this hard won liberty to Europe's children in the same state in which it was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot squander our liberties. We simply do not have the right to do so.

We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we know.

Please take the time to read and understand what is written here. Please send it to every free person that you know, it is so very important.
