House Panel Witnesses: Islamic State Remains ‘Potent’ Threat in Libya

(BREITBART) — by Edwin Mora

WASHINGTON, DC — The Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) remains a “potent” menace in Libya more than a year after U.S.-backed local forces pushed the group out of former stronghold Sirte, experts told a House panel.

Soon after the Islamic State (IS) lost Sirte in December 2016, U.S. and Libyan officials began warning about a potential resurgence of the terrorist group, noting that the jihadists were regrouping elsewhere in Libya, namely the desert valleys and inland hills southeast of the country.

In written testimony prepared for a hearing Wednesday held by the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East and Africa, Christopher Blanchard, a specialist in Middle Eastern affairs at the Congressional Research Service (CRS), acknowledged:

Transnational terrorist groups and locally organized armed extremist groups, including supporters of the Islamic State organization and Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), remain active in Libya. Some IS fighters appear to have regrouped in rural areas after fleeing Sirte in late 2016, and the group claimed a series of attacks on Libyan forces in 2017.

Robyn Mack, a spokeswoman for U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), predicted early this year that ISIS would “give priority to the restructuring of security forces and infrastructure, and to launch strikes, which may include targets in the Libyan oil crescent.”

Battlefield Europe: The flooding with Muslims is deliberate

(ROGUE MONEY) — During a recent trip abroad I had the privilege to witness the demise of the European Union first hand. While visiting Malmo, Sweden and Rome, Italy I witnessed first hand the conditions in these vastly different cities. The only common denominator between them is their reputation for being the cultural epicenters of their countries and the hopeless attitudes of their citizens.

While the presence of Muslim migrants was much more pronounced in Malmo, Rome too had its’ fair share of immigrants from Islamic countries. I spoke with the native born youth in both cities and even ventured into some Muslim communities (something I would not have felt safe doing without being in the company of my Arabic speaking friends who knew the lay of the land better than I).

Unlike poor neighborhoods or “ghettos” in the United States where the common denominator is socio-economic, these Muslim neighborhoods were clearly a “no-go zone” for non-believers aka “infidels.” These immigrants are by no means looking to assimilate into their host country’s culture and that is the underlying issue. Even when speaking to moderate Muslims who had migrated to Europe before the present influx, once they knew they were speaking to another Middle Easterner they were quite open about their feelings. They hope that one day Sharia law will be the law of the land and most feel that in time Islamic adherents and their culture will be the majority in Sweden, Italy and all of Europe for that matter.

When discussing the immigration issue with native Swedes and Italians, many feel that this influx of Muslim migrants is not only being handled poorly by the EU but is being handled that way on purpose.

Many Europeans point at the inaction of Dr. Angela Merkel and her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, but many feel the plot goes deeper, much deeper. While I did not visit Germany, many Europeans feel that Merkel’s initial policies (dating back to January of 2015) that allowed for over one million “Syrian refugees” to migrate and seek asylum in Germany started a trend followed by the rest of the European Union.

Despite growing pressure on Merkel to get tough with expulsion policies, little has been done by Germany and other EU countries. Christian Social Union (CSU) MP Hans-Peter Friedrich, who was a former Interior Minister in Merkel’s Government said:

Allowing rejected asylum seekers to dance around the state like this is destroying the confidence of citizens in the capacity of the state to act.

So why would Angela Merkel commit political suicide by instigating the migration of millions of Muslims into Germany with generous welfare and housing initiatives? Merkel is just a puppet doing the bidding of those who started the European Union in the first place.

“Order out of chaos” is the well-known adage of the “New World Order” and the next step in globalization is the eradication of the diverse cultures of Europe and the end of the nation state.

“The entire continent of Europe is being inundated with refugees at a rate unprecedented in world history. This is no longer just a “refugee crisis.” This is a “hijrah”.

Hijrah, or jihad by emigration, is, according to Islamic tradition, to emigrate in the cause of Allah – that is, to move to a new land in order to bring Islam there. Hijrah is considered in Islam to be a highly meritorious act. “And whoever emigrates for the cause of Allah will find on the earth many locations and abundance,” says the Qur’an.

The first Hijrah migration is the journey of Muhammad and his followers from Mecca to Yathrib, later renamed by him to Medina, in the year 622 CE. It was after the hijrah that Muhammad for the first time became not just a preacher of religious ideas, but a political and military leader.

This occasion started his new “revelations” exhorting his followers to commit violence against unbelievers. Significantly, the Islamic calendar counts the hijrah, not Muhammad’s birth or the occasion of his first “revelation,” as the beginning of Islam. This implies that Islam is not fully itself without a political and military component.

Evidence that the current refugee crisis in Europe is a modern day hijrah and not simply a humanitarian crisis that mainstream media would like you to believe, came subtly in February 2015 if you knew where to look, but the media paid little note at the time and was almost immediately forgotten, except by a handful of religious scholars and Islamic terrorism experts.

In February 2015, The Islamic State published a document entitled, “Libya: The Strategic Gateway for the Islamic State.” Gateway into Europe, that is: the document exhorted Muslims to go to Libya and cross from there as refugees into Europe. This document tells would-be jihadis that weapons from Gaddafi’s arsenal are plentiful and easy to obtain in Libya – and that the country “has a long coast and looks upon the southern Crusader states, which can be reached with ease by even a rudimentary boat.”

This “migration” will transform Germany, Sweden, Italy and the wrest of Europe, forever, overtaxing the welfare economies of even the wealthiest nations and altering the cultural landscape beyond recognition. Yet the serious public discussion that needs to be had about this crisis is shouted down by the usual leftist “politically correct” nonsense and cries of “racism.”

However, Islam, like Christianity is not associated with just one race or nation state. While Arabic speaking nations are most associated with the religion but there are more Muslims in Asia than there are in the Middle East. A religion with over a billion adherents cannot be type cast as belonging to only one culture or nationality.

The Elite aka the Illuminati are blatantly using Islam to accomplish their goals. Albert Pike openly stated that “Islam will be the central component in a war against the West, and that the Illuminati will lead Islam into direct confrontation with the West.” Pike wrote this prior to World War I and World War II and we know how accurately he described the rational and eventual outcomes of those two world conflicts.

We have already seen what the New World Order has done with Islam, and that is to foment a crisis, escort millions of Muslims to European nations, set up Sharia courts, target European women with sexual assault and rape, and do nothing in the wake of terrorist attacks in Brussels, Belgium and Paris, France. But it’s all been planned, setting the stage for WW3. Just as they set the stage for WW1 and WW2.

As we get closer to Beltane (the high holy days of the Illuminati) that start on April 20th (Hitler’s birthday) and ending on May Day (May 1st) or April 30th, Walpurgis Night, the Dutch and German name for the night of April 30th (the night Hitler committed suicide).

In Germanic folklore Walpurgisnacht, also called Hexennacht, literally “Witches’ Night”, is believed to be the night of a witches’ meeting on the Brocken, the highest peak in the Harz Mountains, a range of wooded hills in central Germany between the Elbe and Wesser rivers. Local variations of Walpurgis Night are observed throughout Europe (and America) by the Elite.

Virtually every year a tragedy occurs between April 20th and May 1st. (The Waco and Columbine Massacres, Ruby Ridge, Oklahoma City Bombing, the BP Oil Spill, to name just a few). Be on the look out for “false flag” attacks and tragedies in general during this time period. I wouldn’t be surprised if a terrorist attack somewhere in Europe or something else to push the globalist agenda forward happens during this time period.

Truth seekers and patriots the world over need to be mindful of the Elite’s plans for Europe, America and anything that pushes the New World Order agenda closer to fruition. Stay vigilant and watch the stock market for signs of erratic behavior on the S&P (unusual option calls etc.).

Europe as we have known it since 1945 will no longer exist by 2020. Truth be told, it no longer exists now.
