Marie, seriously how many McCamel’s can we open in the Mideast? :-)
Okay, that made me laugh. I can visualize a crew-cut wearing shop teacher whipping out his paddle (featuring holes for reduced air resistance).
Oh! She’s a talking empty head!

State Department spokeswoman floats jobs as answer to ISIS
Article and comments, esp. see # 53 , # 70.
Thanks, Maggie.
DISMANTLE the State Dept. Having a spokeschick this stupid is reason enough. Otherwise, let the Totalitarians Without Borders in to enslave, remove this idiot from what is to come. She’d be collateral damage anyway. Useless in the battle for life, liberty and the pursuit of…
Thanks for the ping, LucyT.
ISIS is only doing the jobs Moderate Muslims don’t want to do. That is why Moderate Muslims pay them.
As a token of her concern, Marie is ordering the State Dept to deliver monogrammed Zippo lighters to the Islamic State.
” ISIS is only doing the jobs Moderate Muslims don’t want to do. That is why Moderate Muslims pay them.”
A “moderate” Muslim, is a coward who pays other Muzzies to do what they don’t have the balls to do.
Excellent find...

White House Summit on Countering Violent Extremism [Jan 11, 2015]
January 11, 2015
Statement from the Press Secretary on the White House Summit on Countering Violent Extremism
On February 18, 2015, the White House will host a Summit on Countering Violent Extremism to highlight domestic and international efforts to prevent violent extremists and their supporters from radicalizing, recruiting, or inspiring individuals or groups in the United States and abroad to commit acts of violence, efforts made even more imperative in light of recent, tragic attacks in Ottawa, Sydney, and Paris. This summit will build on the strategy the White House released in August of 2011, Empowering Local Partners to Prevent Violent Extremism in the United States, the first national strategy to prevent violent extremism domestically.

Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) efforts rely heavily on well-informed and resilient local communities. Boston, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis-St. Paul have taken the lead in building pilot frameworks integrating a range of social service providers, including education administrators, mental health professionals, and religious leaders, with law enforcement agencies to address violent extremism as part of the broader mandate of community safety and crime prevention. The summit will highlight best practices and emerging efforts from these communities.

White House sets delayed anti-extremism summit [Jan 11, 2015]
"On February 18, 2015, the White House will host a Summit on Countering Violent Extremism to highlight domestic and international efforts to prevent violent extremists and their supporters from radicalizing, recruiting, or inspiring individuals or groups in the United States and abroad to commit acts of violence, efforts made even more imperative in light of recent, tragic attacks in Ottawa, Sydney, and Paris," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said in a statement.
Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson first announced the summit in September, as concern was growing about the threat posed by the Islamic State movement and by that group's recruitment of fighters in the West. Johnson said the high-level meeting would take place the following month. However, it did not. In the lead-up to the midterm elections, White House spokesmen repeatedly refused to discuss the reason for the delay or even to confirm on the record that it had been postponed.

Kerry: Violent extremism is not Islamic [Jan 23, 2015]
In a speech calling for a global effort against violent extremism, Kerry said it would be a mistake to link Islam to criminal conduct rooted in alienation, poverty, thrill-seeking and other factors.

Remarks by National Security Advisor Susan Rice on the 2015 National Security Strategy [Feb 6, 2015]
To counter today’s threats, we’re implementing a comprehensive counter-terrorism approach that takes account of how the enemy has evolved. As al-Qa’ida core has been decimated, we’ve seen the diffusion of the threat – to al-Qa’ida affiliates, ISIL, local militias, and home-grown violent extremists. This diffusion may for now reduce the risk of a spectacular attack like 9/11, but it raises the probability of the types of attacks that we’ve seen in Boston and Ottawa, Sydney and Paris.
To meet this morphing challenge, we are combining our decisive military capabilities with local partnerships, with the financial tools to choke off funding, and the international reach of our law-enforcement and intelligence agencies. We’re strengthening the capacity of weak states to govern their territory and provide for their citizens, while countering the corrosive ideology of violent extremism. Fighting terrorism is a long-term struggle. There will be setbacks, and there are no one-size-fits-all solutions. We have to work across multiple lines of effort in diverse contexts to be effective.

The plan for "countering violent extremism" has been a catchall meme since (at least) Aug 2011. It is used to advance any agenda remotely connected to the meme, including the Obama Adm's foreign policy, their domestic policy, and especially the favorable political disbursement of fund$, both foreign and domestic, no matter how disconnected from the threat of radical Islam.
The Charlie Hebdo Massacre was an opportune time to drag it out again.
I would not be surprised if, at the end of Obama's CVE summit, a relationship was "developed" between CVE and Net Neutrality federal control of the Internet.
In 2012, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton convened a globally focused meeting and celebrated the creation of a first-ever Center of Excellence on Countering Violent Extremism, which is headquartered in the United Arab Emirates.
Thirty member nations at the time convened a Global Counterterrorism Forum to discuss how the CVE center in Abu Dhabi would conduct training and foster dialogue and research to give a persistent problem attention that was, at the time, described as “timely.”
