Allied Intelligence sources reported this morning that armed civilian resistance inside Mosul is rapidly spiraling out of ISIS' control. Last night, a group of armed 'youths' attacked the ISIS encampment in the Al-Qahera District, killing two terrorists and forcing the others to retreat. Al-Qahera housed an ISIS base preparing suicide car-bombs. The civilians destroyed the vehicles and captured a cache of weapons and explosives.
Intelligence sources also report that two more ISIS generals were shot and killed by civilian snipers in Southeastern Mosul. Allied forces captured six more suburban in the same area.
The Iraqis are once again proving to effete Western Liberals that the principles of our 2nd Amendment really work in actual practice.
In other developments, Allied forces executed a brilliant maneuver north of Mosul, capturing the main road between Mosul and Turkish-occupied Baishqa. Militias have reportedly blockaded Baishqa as well---keeping the treacherous Erdogan at bay and out of the Battle for Mosul. Iraqi forces also captured an oil field before ISIS soldiers could sabotage it.
It was also announced that the Iraqi Air Force demolished the camp housing ISIS' notorious female suicide-bomb unit. Likewise, they destroyed a 30-truck ISIS convoy preparing to escape down Obama's so-called safe passage zone. The Syrian Military High Command issued a statement today denouncing the Beltway's duplicity and calling upon Iraqi Allied militias to obstruct ISIS passage into Syrian territory. Russia that it would increase air patrols over the border region.
Allied forces also liberated the historic Nimrod District in Northeastern Mosul yesterday. Nimrod is home to relics and monuments dating back to the Assyrian Empire and Old Testament times. Sadly, a team of specialists accompanying the troops reported that two years of ISIS looting and vandalism have devastated the site---listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The professors stated to the press that damage to the priceless monuments "was extensive," exceeding even ISIS' other crimes against our common cultural heritage in Homs and Palmyra, Syria. The Wahhabi Cult, to which ISIS subscribes, has no respect for human cultural artifacts. Their cult leaders teach that all religious symbols outside their perverted beliefs are offensive, regardless of their antiquity or cultural significance. This hatred for Civilization is what binds the Wahhabis ideologically with the Western Left, and why they mutually support one another.
The 2nd day of the Battle of Mosul has thus far been a success. The Iraqi Army has reported light casualties, without giving numbers. They have also reported that ISIS resistance thus far has been weaker than expected; and that battle-plans are progressing according to schedule.
Iraqi Citizens Evict ISIS from their Neighborhood.
Remember this Photo when US Politicians
Propose Gun Control Again.
Yesterday, while the US Corporate Media was busily plying the public with Trump's latest sexual improprieties, Allied tanks and artillery broke through ISIS barricades and infantry units entered the Iraqi city of Mosul. The city is ISIS' last stronghold on the Eastern Front and has been held by the Wahhabi Cult since 2014.
Iraqi units, augmented by Kurdish militias and Chinese and Iranian military advisors, entered Mosul from the Southeastern sector. The Iraqi military announced that five suburban areas have been liberated and several ISIS soldiers captured. These ISIS fighters were largely conscripts forced into the ISIS ranks, according to Iraqi generals.
Inside Mosul itself, civilian resistance, which has been active all Summer, has risen up en masse and taking a significant toll on ISIS forces. This Summer, at least five top ISIS have been shot by snipers, including ISIS' second-in-command. This morning, Iraqi troops recovered the body of ISIS' top religious leader in the Euphrates River, shot by an unknown assailant.
Apparently, too, ISIS soldiers remaining in Mosul are fighting among themselves. Iranian Intelligence reports that 60 ISIS soldiers were executed after a failed coup attempt against the ISIS leadership this weekend. The plotters evidently advocated surrender and suing for peace. According to interrogated prisoners, ISIS are also fighting over loot and a chance to escape and save themselves.
The Iraqi Government has also set up relief operations for the liberated civilian populations.
Meanwhile, tensions are arising on the sidelines between Allied and US-led 'Coalition' Forces. US forces have been "observing and operating in advisory capacity," according to spokesmen for the Gay-Friendly Pentagon. Of course, the Pentagon's actual purpose in Iraq is to provide Obama with a photo-op once Mosul is liberated; as well as to facilitate ISIS' escape from the city.
The Obama Administration insisted on establishing a so-called safe corridor---which conveniently leads straight to the Syrian border---of which fleeing ISIS forces have taken full advantage. Kurdish commanders are furiously complaining that entire convoys of ISIS troops are moving while US warplanes fly overhead, doing nothing. Kurdish leader Said Mamouziti believes that fugitive ISIS Supreme Commander, Caliph Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, is among those who have fled.
"The ISIS commanders, including Al-Baghdadi, are escaping Mosul to Syria. Baghdadi has also ordered his followers to destroy Mosul if they are defeated. ISIS is being evacuated by military convoys, escorted by foreign troops." he stated.
There is also an unconfirmed report that a US officer was shot by a sniper during these operations, near the Syrian border. There was no comment about the incident from the Pentagon today, although the US Military did proudly announce that the Navy is removing sexist language from its training manuals.
In other war-related news, a massive Russian humanitarian aid convoy delivered over 5 tons of food to displaced persons in Southwestern Syria. The Allied forces also made significant gains in Aleppo, recovering the industrial sector in the northern part of the city from Al-Qaeda.
Allied Forces Are on the Move
There were two very different news stories from different corners of the world today. Here, in the Prozac Nation, it appears that some our citizens, outraged over Donald Trump's alleged sexual indiscretions exercised their right to protest by firebombing a GOP campaign headquarters in North Carolina. The story came on the heels of a report of some outrage from the other side of the aisle when three men in Kansas were arrested for plotting a massacre at a Moslem community center. Apparently, the Politics of Personal Destruction are beginning to be taken literally by some.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Pacific, Chinese citizens were talking about two heroes---astronauts---who successfully launched a manned space mission today. Astronauts Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong will dock at China's new Space Station and remain there for 30 days before returning to earth. The launch took place at 7:30 AM Beijing Time, about mid-afternoon Sunday in the US when most Americans are in the hookah lounges, watching the NFL.
Jing is 50 years old and already something of a Chinese national hero. One of China's top fighter pilots, Jing transferred to the Aerospace Division and completed astronaut training. He has already flown into space twice, as a test-pilot for the Shenzou-11 space shuttle. Chen, who is 38, is a qualified astronaut though this important project is his first space flight. Chen is said by many to be a protégée of Jing's.
During this mission, the astronauts will perform the first ultrasound experiments in space and experiment with cultivating plants, both central to China's ongoing project to colonize space within the next decade. The astronauts will also test three projects submitted by Chinese secondary school students, who won a school competition in experimental space design.
In Chinese public schools, astronauts are heroes and interest in astrophysics is promoted. It used to be the same in the 1960s in the US, but sadly today, political correctness is promoted here instead and American space pioneers of the Apollo Missions have largely been relegated to the ranks of dead white males. We really no longer effectively have a space program here today. The politically-correct NASA began selecting a more multicultural group of astronauts for own Space Shuttle program back in the 1980s. The frequent accidents and scandals that broke out in NASA since then led Obama to ground the Shuttle Program in 2011. Our last major feat in space happened about two years ago, when an aerospace engineer accomplished the truly remarkable feat of landing a space probe on a comet. But instead of being a national hero, the inventor was roundly denounced and criticized for wearing an allegedly 'sexist' T-shirt to a press conference.
Not so in China, however. Jing's and Chen's exploits have captured the imaginations of a whole generation of Chinese boys and young men. Zhang Yulin, a top Chinese military official in the Aerospace Division agrees. "Shenzhou-11 is a new beginning." he told Xinhua News, "It marks the imminent end of the exploratory stage of China's manned space program. With the establishment of our planned expanded Space Station in 2020, China will carry out manned space missions on a regular basis. Spacecraft will be launched several times a year instead of once every several years. By then, besides astronauts, engineers and even tourists will hopefully be able to go to space."
So while American politicians are busy alternating between denouncing civil unrest and fomenting more of it; Chinese President Xi Jinping sent congratulations to the astronauts from Goa, where he is attending the annual BRICS meeting.
"This historic mission demonstrates that China has made new and significant progress in our manned space program." Xi stated, "We can be confident that our further goals in space will be realized. It is important for China to break new ground in manned space technology constantly, so that the Chinese people will take greater strides and march into space exploration fearlessly, to make new contributions to building Chinese power in Space."
How China Goes Into Space
How America Goes Into Space
Apparently frustrated that their trolling attempts on Wikipedia have been unsuccessful, the Manosphere Game Cultists, led by blogger Theodore Beale (a.k.a. Vox Populi, Vox Day, and the Dark Lord) have set up an alternative site called Infogalatic. The Alt-Right blogs are going wild promoting the new site and encouraging their disciples to write allegedly academic entries for it.
How this new site seems to work is like this: Suppose one searches Infogalactic, say for example, 'John F. Kennedy'. The Wikipedia entry for Kennedy will come up, unless one of the Gamers have edited it. It doesn't change any entries on Wikipedia; but allows the Red Pills to edit/rewrite the entries on Infogalactic. To put it in modern computer-tech parlance, they're using a proxy site to scrub another website.
What the Gamers are doing is not illegal, but it is highly unethical. Aside from piggy-backing off Wikipedia, the cult is promoting Infogalactic as an objective source of information. The Planetary Knowledge Core is Infogalactic's tagline. We get a glimpse of how objective Infogalactic is going to be from Vox' recent article on the project. After complaining of Wikipedia censorship of one his entries due to "lack of correct attribution" Vox snorts that:
"The fact that this particular contribution happens to be anathema to the radical SJWs at Wikipedia is mere happenstance, of course." And to prove his point he states that "Consider that 'Cultural Marxism' is unworthy of a page on Wikipedia, deleted and buried. But the page about gay performance artist Chris Crocker...has hundreds of edits and 53.9k of data devoted to it."
For starters, a search on Google gives us this link:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Marxism
Which goes to an incorporated entry with the 'Frankfurt School' where the term originated. The rather lengthy article goes into the term's original historical and philosophical meaning down its current uses in contemporary politics. As for Crocker, the fact that he's a popular celebrity explains the number of web-hits and edits that his article gets. It's just simple logic that a pop music star is going to get more attention than the historical entomology of a political/philosophical phrase.
Now the Alphas all consider themselves men of extraordinary intelligence and they have been conniving to interject Game/Red Pill Philosophy into academic pursuits for some time. Many of them have openly stated that Game should be taught to boys and young men in the public schools (Vox and most other Gamers oppose educating females). Add into the mix that Vox---with 172 of his disciples on the project, and a half-dozen pro-Game bloggers on the editorial board---and it's hard to take any of his claims about a 'non-biased approach' seriously.
Naturally such a bold undertaking is expensive, so Vox and his cohorts have made this special offer on their fundraising page:
"A number of corporations and services have indicated an interest in being able to monitor corporate pages of interest to them in order to prevent false, malicious, or misleading information being spread about their organizations and clients. A limited number of pro admin seats are available."
Yes, certainly there's nothing unbiased about selling administrative seats to special interests! Vox also tells us that objectivity will be achieved through "proven Game design principles and a sophisticated series of algorithms," which of course allows for all kinds of data skewing.
The sad part about this project is that millions of unsuspecting readers are going to happen upon Infogalactic without realizing that it's nothing but a cultish propaganda organ disguised as an online encyclopedia. Again, the Red Pills have taken the Cultural Marxist doctrine of "the relativity of truth" and applied it to their own agendas.
Good men doing good things is a predominant theme of these Friday features; and our Postmodern culture could certainly use some more of them. Anarchists running wild in the streets; Hollywood bad-boys held up as role models; sleazy politicians and corrupt elites; Gender Identity Disorder the new normal; and people running in terror from clowns---our society is a badly-messed up place.
It's hard to imagine that once upon a time, American men were men who took their unique personal abilities and enlisted them in the service of others. It used to be thought that to stand silent in the face of evil was as bad as condoning it. Today, men are taught just the opposite. Men are taught today that the Smart Boys know how to project an image and to regard good and evil as relative concepts. In today's world, only suckers and chumps stand for quaint ideals like right and wrong; the Wise Guys look out for Number One and use others to their own advantage.
If readers would like something different during this extended holiday weekend, we can recommend a real hero worth following. Our selection this week is a television series which ran on NBC from 1966-1967, T.H.E. Cat.
The protagonist of this series was a soldier of fortune named Thomas Hewitt Edward Cat. Cat was a retired circus acrobat (apparently not afraid of clowns) who with his Gypsy friend, Pepe, operated a nightclub called La Casa del Gato. Mr. Cat finds peace is too peaceful, with much good to be done in the world, and sets on a series of adventures saving people in trouble and recovering valuable properties.
T.H.E. Cat was created by the same producer who later produced the Dirty Harry series in Hollywood. It was also directed by the same man who directed Peter Gunn (reviewed here May 27th). Like those series, and many other late Golden Age television dramas, moral questions and sharply-drawn lines between good and evil prevailed. What we see actually reflected here is the Christian social outlook that once prevailed our culture. We are all flawed human beings, pure evil seeks to overcome us, and must be met with resistance of a crusader fighting for right.
Some critics of this series complain that the villains are personified as purely evil and that the heroes "do things just as bad". These critics miss the entire point. While all of us are sinners and liable to do wrong; evil is an irrational force that, as the Bible says of Satan, "goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour." Evil will prey upon fallible humans and consume us, unless good men stand up to halt its course. The weakness of Moral Relativism is that it recognizes human evil, but not human good.
In the Biblical story, the first commandment God gave to Adam was "to maintain the Garden and defend it." This is what it means to be a man; the author of Genesis thus signifies that this is man's primary duty on Earth. Men are not taught this way any longer; the Feminists tell us that women are to maintain the Garden, while the Manospherians teach that it's nobody's responsibility to defend it.
Thankfully, Mr. Cat gives men a better role model. A man of conviction and ability puts the swaggering Alphas to shame. The first episode, Cat must protect a priest who is about to testify; in others he tries to dissuade people from committing criminal acts. T.H.E. Cat features plenty of action (Cat was a skillful martial artist) and every episode opens with an action scene. In addition to its deep and often unpredictable plots and the dark, film noir atmosphere, T.H.E. Cat is, as one reviewer said, "people who become like friends, people we want to spend time with every week, people we want to know more about." Sadly, the series only lasted one season: the fate of far too many excellent series at the end of television's Golden Age.
Some episodes of T.H.E. Cat are available on Youtube and complete series on DVD.
The treacherous Obama is determined not to depart Washington without creating further world chaos. Now that his Syria Policy has completely collapsed, and the Allies are the gaining the upper hand in the West; Obama is interjecting his unwanted presence into Iraq to wreck Allied gains in the East.
Since the LGBTQ-friendly Pentagon fled from ISIS and abandoned Iraq to its fate, Iraq joined the Allies and took on Chinese and Iranian military advisors, as well as equipping their troops with better-made Russian hardware. During the last six months, they have liberated 95% of Iraq with no US help whatsoever.
What's left of ISIS in Iraq is trapped in Mosul, a city near the Turkish and Syrian borders. Using the threat of a Turkish incursion, Iraq reluctantly agreed to US participation in the attack on Mosul. The Pentagon has rushed in about 1,000 or so troops---all representing diversity no doubt---to give Obama a good photo-op as the Liberator of the Iraqi People. Mostly thus far, the US troops have been restricted to base because civilian snipers have been taking pot-shots at them. Pro-American sentiment isn't running very high in Iraq right now.
General Stanley Votel, the commander-in-chief of CENTCOM and arguably the most incompetent of all Obama's generals is leading the operation. The Battle of Mosul hasn't even started, and it has already been a disaster.
First, Votel has managed to telegraph to the press---and consequently to ISIS---most of his plans and timetables. ISIS is spending the time judiciously: killing several of their enemies and booby-trapping, mining, and barricading Mosul as much as possible. On Monday they took time off from these labors to demolish the historic Church of St. Barbara with dynamite.
Votel's next move, on orders from Obama, was to establish a safe space, or a corridor guarded by US troops and warplanes by which noncombatants could evacuate Mosul before the attack. To no one's surprise other than Votel's, ISIS soldiers have been fleeing down this corridor by the hundreds. According to Kurdish Militia commanders, an estimated 7-10 thousand Jihadists have evacuated Mosul already. Most likely they went for the Syrian border---about 75 miles away---to reinforce their comrades in Raqqa and Deir Ezzur.
As if this were not enough, Votel is discovering to his mortification that he can't make the Turkish forces leave Iraq, as he promised. The unstable Turkish leader Erdogan not only has decided against leaving Iraq; he's decided to march on Mosul himself---with or without US or Iraqi permission. Erdogan dislikes the Kurds even more than ISIS; as Mosul is in Kurdish lands, the problem is obvious.
Obama and his Rainbow-Pride Military have managed, in just a few short weeks, to turn two years of Allied efforts into a quagmire. Yes, Mosul will be liberated. But it will be in spite of---not because of---any US 'help'.
Ultimately, this is not going to end well for the US Military and will be yet another blot on the Obama Administration's disgraceful foreign policy blunders. His bungling---intentionally or otherwise---is also going to protract the Syrian Civil War by several months. But the American public would rather sit in their hookah lounges pontificating on Donald Trump's sexuality than to worry much about ISIS.
"I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help!"
Today, UNESCO voted in favor of a resolution submitted by the Palestinian Authority denying Israel's claim to the section of Jerusalem now the site of the Al-Asqa Mosque and Western Wall. The Mosque is built on the site of the former Temple of Herod which was destroyed by the Romans at the beginning of the Jewish Diaspora.
The 58-member UNESCO board voted 24-6, with 26 abstentions, to deny claims that the Jews had any legal or historical claims to the sites. Despite heavy lobbying from Israel, the UNESCO Resolution read:
"Islamic freedom of worship is being hindered by escalating aggressions and illegal measures. We condemn the continuous storming of Al-Asqa Mosque and Al-Haram Al-Sharif by the Israeli right-wing extremists and uniformed forces, as well as forcible entry by so-called 'Israeli Antiquities' officials."
The US, UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Estonia, and Lithuania were the six nations voting against the Resolution; which passed in spite of US suspension of paying UNESCO dues in protest. Reaction in Israel was predictably furious. Under the provisions of the new law, Jews are allowed to visit the site, but are forbidden from entering Islamic holy sites or reciting Jewish prayers and texts. Israeli leaders are calling for active resistance to the UNESCO mandate. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that "UNESCO had forfeited any moral authority" by today's decision.
So here is a question to all those on the Alt-Right, Neo-Nazis, and Manospherians who tell us continually that there is a powerful international clique of Jews pulling the wires on the whole world. How does it happen that this International Jewish Conspiracy cannot even get UNESCO to acknowledge that the Temple Mount and the Wailing Wall are legitimate Jewish cultural and religious sites?
Somehow, though, we don't expect an answer to that question...
