ISIS to ‘Brothers Residing in America’: Kill U.S. Military Personnel
March 22, 2015 — Breitbart.com reports: “ Islamic State has posted online what it says are the names, U.S. addresses and photos of 100 American military service members, and called upon its ‘brothers residing in America’ to kill them.
The Pentagon said after the information was posted on the Internet that it was investigating the matter. ‘I can’t confirm the validity of the information, but we are looking into it,’ a U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said on Saturday.
‘We always encourage our personnel to exercise appropriate OPSEC (operations security) and force protection procedures,’ the official added.
In the posting, a group referring to itself as the ‘Islamic State Hacking Division’ wrote in English that it had hacked several military servers, databases and emails and made public the information on 100 members of the U.S. military so that ‘lone wolf’ attackers can kill them…” (America is in grave trouble. The above report has moved many military families here to remove private information from social media and identifying decals off of their vehicles. In the past eight to ten months, Dutch, British, and Canadian military personnel among others have been cautioned about wearing their uniforms in public among fears of a copycat attack following the May 2013 murder of British soldier Lee Rigby on the streets of London. These are all signs that the return of our Lord is near: “…as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” – Matthew 24:37. How was it in Noah’s day? “The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence” Genesis 6:11. See the next 4 reports.)
ISIS wants to ‘blow up’ White House, Big Ben and Eiffel Tower
March 13, 2015 — The National Post reports: “The Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham wants to ‘blow up your White House, Big Ben, and the Eiffel Tower,’ its official spokesman said in an audio message Thursday that claimed the ultraviolent extremist group had expanded its reach into West Africa.
In his first speech in two months, Abu Muhammad al-Adnani accepted a pledge of allegiance from the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram and listed the cities ‘we want,’ from Paris and Rome to Jerusalem and Kabul.
The 28-minute Arabic-language audio, translated by the SITE Intelligence Group, appeared to be an attempt to rally ISIS fighters and intimidate international audiences amid setbacks in Iraq…”
Al-Aqsa Mosque Address: May the Muslims Wage War on America
March 10, 2015 — Israel National News reports: “In a recent address at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, a Palestinian Arab political researcher launched a verbal tirade against the United States.
The researcher, Ahmad Al-Khatwani, also known as ‘Abu Hamza’, declared that Muslims should pray that Allah will enable them to wage war on America and vanquish it.
Abu Hamza also expressed his desire that the Muslims ‘raid America on its own land.’ The address was given on February 18, 2015, and was translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
‘What is the way to confront this American war on Islam? It is by treating Islam in a political manner, on the basis of the Islamic creed in its political sense. If the Muslims accept Islam as a political and ideological foundation and guide, they will be able to confront America and its war on the Muslims, and they will be able to vanquish it with ease,’ Al-Khatwani said.
‘We pray that Allah will enable the Muslims to wage war on America and against its true terrorism. May He grant victory to the Muslims, and may they raid America on its own land and the land of heresy everywhere,’ he added…”
Task Force Chair: Terror Cells Are in the US, Americans Should Prepare
March 11, 2015 — Breitbart.com reports: “Rep. Robert Pittenger (R-NC), the chairman of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, released a manual to help Americans prepare for terrorist attacks and cybercrimes.
‘There are U.S. cells today of terrorists that we’re all aware of. I chair the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism, and so I’m conscious of the concerns, and I just think we would be wise as a country to prepare ourselves better for what could happen,’ Rep. Pittenger told Breitbart News when asked to explain his motive for releasing the Terrorism Preparedness Manual.
He noted that Americans are the targets of a number of terrorist groups including the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) and al-Qaeda.
‘There are folks in ISIS, being trained by ISIS overseas right now who have American passports and European passports and they have easy access to the U.S.,’ explained the North Carolina lawmaker…”
FBI Chief: Lone-Wolf Attacks by IS Recruits a Key Concern
March 13, 2015 — Voice of America News reports: “The radicalization of Americans by Islamic State and other groups, particularly through sophisticated use of social media, is a top concern for the FBI as it grapples with evolving terrorism threats, Director James Comey said Thursday.
Like other militant groups, Islamic State, also known as ISIL, IS, and ISIS, has called for lone-wolf attacks in Western countries and has specifically encouraged attacks on soldiers, law enforcement officers and the intelligence community, Comey said at a Senate appropriations subcommittee budget hearing.
Comey referred to the group’s efforts to recruit Americans to join Islamic State fighting in Syria and Iraq, then have them return to the United States to commit acts of terrorism.
‘ISIL’s widespread reach through the Internet and social media is most concerning as the group has proven dangerously competent at employing such tools for its nefarious strategy,’ Comey told the panel as he presented his $8.48 billion budget request for fiscal 2016. ‘This poses an enormous challenge to us: to find the people who are responding to that siren song.’
National Intelligence Director James Clapper said this month that about 180 Americans had traveled to Syria to join Islamist militants and about 40 had returned to the United States. Comey called the threats posed by such foreign fighters and from homegrown violent extremists ‘extremely dynamic.’ He did not cite updated figures on American foreign fighters before the panel recessed to go into classified session…”
Secret Iranian handbook calls for EMP attack on America
March 20, 2015 — WND.com reports: “A ‘secret’ Iranian military handbook, American officials say, confirms that the Islamic Republic of Iran is including in its arsenal a plan to launch a nuclear electromagnetic pulse attack on the American national grid system.
To carry out such an attack, from a high-altitude nuclear blast, would require Iran to have not only the missiles to launch such a device but also the technology to produce a nuclear explosion.
The revelation comes as the United States, along with the P5+1 countries that comprise the United Nations Security Council, is about to finalize negotiations over Iran’s nuclear development program.
There have been concerns raised that Iran still has the intention of making nuclear bombs using the technology in that program, and the negotiations may not do enough to prevent it…” (Our military is taking this threat seriously. The Pentagon has just awarded Raytheon a $700-million contract to install new equipment in the Cheyenne Mountain Complex in Colorado which for years was the headquarters of the North American Aerospace Defense Command [NORAD]. NORAD moved its command center out of Cheyenne Mountain in 2006, but has maintained it as a back-up site. Cheyenne Mountain is EMP-hardened, or protected from an EMP attack. The EMP threat can cause an entire nation to darken for months as all electrical service is finished as a nuclear bomb exploded at 200 miles above the earth, from 200 miles out at sea allows the explosive materials to descend from space and mingle with radioactive materials on earth resulting in mass devastation. Nothing can equal this disastrous event. Jeremiah 51:32 states: “…the passages are stopped [communication is disrupted]…and the men of war are affrightened.”)
