“The Terrorist Threat against U.S. has Never Been Greater” says Johns Hopkins Lecturer
Accuracy in Academia ^ | October 21, 2016 | Spencer Irvine

At the Heritage Foundation, Dr. Mary Habeck, an adjunct lecturer at John Hopkins' School of Advanced International Studies (known as SAIS), noted that terrorism has spiked since 2011. She said that today, "the terrorist threat against the U.S. has never been greater." She added, "You have to go back to the Algerian civil war to find" this number of terrorist attacks.

Habeck said, "First of all, al-Qaeda and ISIS [known as the Islamic State, or ISIL] have a plan and they’re executing it." "They have created a whole series of campaign plans for each country," Habeck said, and "ISIS inherited this plan." "It is no secret that their plans are predicated [on] and predicted U.S. withdrawal from the Middle East" and then, "they would take advantage" of the power vacuum. What sets ISIS apart from others, she said, was that "the ISIS guys seem to believe to impose [their] beliefs" on a population and then act like Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, who tortured and intimidated people to obey his rule. ISIS uses this intimidation technique to intimidate the West, such as France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, and the U.S.

It was in January of 2010 that Obama told the Egyptian ambassador that he was and still is a Muslim who supports the Muslim agenda, and that the Muslim world should be patient with him while he got Obamacare passed and then he would focus attention on the Islamic agenda. That was one of the few promises that Obama has ever kept, because once Obamacare was passed Obama turned his attention to ousting our anti-jihad allies in the Middle East, installing Muslim Brotherhood regimes instead.

The Muslim Brotherhood was founded by a couple guys in the first half of the last century who saw that Islamic governments had been dissolved and the lands incorporated into European territories. These men said that Muslims were becoming peaceful citizens of these non-Islamic nations/territories and were forgetting that Islam is supposed to conquer the world and establish a worldwide Islamic caliphate. These men started an organization to return Muslim back to the Quran, so Muslims would realize they are NOT to peacefully co-exist with their non-Muslim neighbors and governments. They are to subvert and overtake them.

The Muslim Brotherhood is the parent organization to EVERY jihadist organization there is. And that is the group that Obama’s brother, Obama himself, Huma ABedin and her family, etc ALL bow down to and serve.

It is NO ACCIDENT that terrorism spiked in 2011. It was what Obama promised the Egyptian ambassador in January of 2010.

The question at this juncture is when the American public will realize that 2008 was a coup to install a foreign enemy combatant into our White House, and that figurehead who was “elected” has allowed all our agencies to be filled with people who will bow to the agenda of Obama/Hillary’s owners. And whether it is too late for us to fight back.

God help us! Amen!

The remedy is simple: just continue to chip away at the rights of Americans.

That’s worked well in the past.

LOL - - Not saying our respect for 'academics' has fallen or anything, right?
