My latest in PJ Media:
The Department of Homeland Security’s Counterterrorism Mission Center and Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office has just sent out a memo warning law enforcement officials that “violent extremists probably are seeking to exploit public fears associated with the spread of COVID-19 to incite violence, intimidate targets and promote their ideologies, and we assess these efforts will intensify in the coming months.”
“Probably”? There isn’t any doubt about it. The Islamic State (ISIS) has even told Muslims that if they commit an act of jihad violence, it could prevent them from contracting the coronavirus. In the latest edition of its Al-Naba newsletter, ISIS stated that the coronavirus was a “plague” sent by Allah, causing “painful torment” to non-Muslims. In response to it, “The Muslims should not pity the disbelievers and apostates, but should use the current opportunities to continue working to free Muslim prisoners from the camps in which they face subjugation and disease.”
How could they work to free them? By means of jihad massacres. Taking this path would bring them great rewards: “They should also remember that obedience to God — the most beloved form of which is jihad — turns away the torment and wrath of God.”
The idea that Allah will punish the unrighteous in this world is in the Qur’an: “So if they repent, it is better for them; but if they turn away, Allah will punish them with a painful punishment in this world and the hereafter. And there will not be for them on earth any protector or helper.” (Qur’an 9:74) In line with this passage, ISIS even expresses the hope that Allah will make COVID-19 even more lethal than it already is, and to “increase their torment,” that is, the torment of non-Muslims, “and save the believers from all that.”
Meanwhile, if disobedience to Allah gets one “a painful punishment in this world and the hereafter,” then the immediate inference from this is that if one is righteous, one will prosper in this world as well as in the next. And the most righteous deed of all is jihad. A hadith has a Muslim asking Muhammad: “Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward).” Muhammad replied, “I do not find such a deed.” (Bukhari 4.52.44)
The DHS wants to reassure you, however, saying that it has “no information indicating any active plotting is underway.” FBI Director Chris Wray added: “With all the worry and uncertainty out there, we want the public to know that there are still things they can count on: We’re here, and we’re going to stay here, to protect them, no matter what. Because our criminal and national security adversaries sure aren’t going to take a day off — whether that’s for the coronavirus or, for that matter, anything else.”
“We’re here”? Great. That’s hardly reassuring. Even as ISIS is actively encouraging its followers to stage new jihad massacres in the West, the DHS, the FBI, and the rest of them are still institutionally committed to ignoring, downplaying, or denying the motivating ideology behind jihad terrorism.

DHS Warns ‘Violent Extremists’ Seeking to ‘Exploit’ Coronavirus, But Don’t Worry: ‘We’re Here’

What Jihad Watch reported of the “Homeland Security” (State Secret Police) Memo did not mention any Mohammedans. It could apply to the Second Amendment Groups that try and address their grievances to the Federal Government (Another Constitutional Right bites the dust). What difference does it make? Hillary Clinton gave the world a new motto on the dead bodies of the Americans at Benghazi. Today we see Western Leaders around the world abdicating our culture to the Mohammedan crusaders. The leader of Canada even joined Mohammedanism which seems to be the best characterization of the Of the old British Empire. Any day now the queen mamma will be showing off her new burka. After this November we might even have the Taliban running what used to be the United States.
The Western World is in a power vacuum right now, because the old governments of those bygone days will not pick up the sword to defend our cultures. The sword of defense will not lay in the dirt very long. It never does. The only ones with an ideological objective is the Mohammedan’s so it looks like they will pick it up and force even the Catholic Pope to swear allegiance to their All-ah Satan.

Ben — Here in the US there are many patriots who would rather die fighting than allow the country to fall to Islam. I’m one of them — and I’m not a “right-wing extremist”, or a right-winger of any description.
I’m sure the same is true in the UK and in some of the other European countries, even though their draconian gun laws make that more difficult.

What do you mean by NOW?
If you look back to the very beginning when President Bush first established DHS, constructing its HQ building in Virginia was enough to turn that whole area into a solid blue. You know, that same political party which has been making headlines across the nation in recent months with a tide of leftist totalitarian state legislation in Virginia, as well as for an administration which apparently has established rape as legal for lieutenant governors and infanticide as legal for governors. That was not so secretly staging (see chain of posts at https://www.facebook.com/groups/166650436728442/permalink/3197260477000741/ for details ) a false-flag massacre against 2nd Amendment protests (which apparently backed off in the end in the face of massive opposition pro-2nd amendment protests). When you have an agency staffed by these kind of people (not to mention the agency was originally established by a family dynasty fervently pro-NWO with “Islam is a peaceful religion” as its central mantra), HOW is that supposed to make you feel more secure? Gimme a BREAK.
Ben Kennedy says
Very good eye and observation. But it is a Tombstone; The old Constitutional Republic of the United States is buried under it. Consider the evidence of the passing of the Republic in how the Laws of our land have been set aside by Dictators in State and Federal Government seats of power. When this event is past, can you even imagine these people surrendering their power (returning to business as usual)? I can’t. This Nation has only ever had one George Washington. Even the Republican Revolution at the end of the Clinton Administration put on display the seductiveness of raw “Power”. While those Republicans ran campaigns on the promise to serve only “One Term”, they would not yield and some are still in office after all these years. This new “Lock Down” and suspension of the US Constitution looks set to be our new normal.

Ronald Reagan said that the most frightening words in the English language are, “We’re from the Government and we’re here to help you.”. This is similar.
Westman says
“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” – President Reagan Aug. 12, 1986
However this should not be the case if our government entities could both be humble enough to learn what they don’t know (like Islamic ideology) and see themselves as the citizen’s servants rather than their overseers.

A big threat to Americans: Muslim jihadis. But they can’t do much more to expand this pandemic.
A BIGGER THREAT to Americans now: The Covid19 pandemic and Trump’s policies on tackling it. And it began earlier.
E.g. the Trump administration, with John Bolton at the helm of the White House National Security Council, in 2018, began dismantling the team in charge of pandemic response, firing its leadership.
This was coupled with the administration’s repeated calls to cut the budget for the CDC and other public health agencies which severely reduced the government’s ability to respond to disease outbreaks.
Then the denials, delays, wishful thinking and so on.
“One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.” Donald Trump, Feb, 2020.
Brian Ozzy says
Try and get your facts correct. There’s already enough fake news spewing out. What happened was that three agencies performing many of the same functions were amalgamated into one to make things much more efficient. Oh, and their was budget increased! Trump promised to cut back on the bureaucracy and this was one of the many examples of him once again keeping his promise.

A Gnostic Agnostic says
Covid19 and “Muslim jihadis” are related: the former is a product of the latter.
This is an Islamic bio-attack against the “unbelievers” of the West, however they botched it big-time. Both China and the U.S. know the who-what concerning this being an Islamic operation.
At this moment the House of Islam is a sitting duck: everything they are attempting is being watched by many nations, and the House of Islam will have nobody left to blame/scapegoat their own crimes against humanity onto. The House of Islam is/are the real “Jews” who commit atrocities, yet religiously blame Jews, as Muhammad did. This pathology of blame is encoded into Islam, because the Muhammadans emulate Muhammad for a living, which involves things like genocide against Jews. The House of Islam is a 1400-year-running genocide machine that uses “belief” to instill fear/control over masses. Thus Islam is known to the China and U.S. as the real root of Nazism/fascism/socialism, hence the Islamic jihad against Trump. The Democrates are goyim for the House of Islam.
Keys says
The “House of Islam” has been deceived from its very beginning by the greatest of all deceivers. It is a “House” built on deceit from which comes no good fruit.

There is no doubt that Muslims wish us all ill–but there is no indication that Muslims created the COrvid-19 virus in a lab somewhere. China itself admits that this disease crossed the species barrier between bats and humans in Wuhan Province.
We have also been hit by other Coronaviruses in recent years, including SARS and MERS.
No need to make up ridiculous conspiracy theories.

Radical Islamic Terrorists are a great threat to the world peace. They are the cancer of the society.

The illustration of this story attached my atention. I thought there is is in the picture a tombstone. The resemblance is remarkable. Only the flowers were missing.
A Gnostic Agnostic says
They are openly admitting it is an Islamic jihad bioweapon.
It is: COVID19 is a premeditated warfare agent that targeted “unbelievers”,
whose “intention” was to employ a pathogen which had little to no potency
for “believers”. They “believed” it would not harm Muslims.
Well, because “belief” is subject to being ‘wrong’, and
because their “intention” was based on ‘wrong’ design,
the resultant pathogen affects “believers” as well as “unbelievers”.
Thus, Islamic nations are suffering losses, but hiding them:
we know Iran is scrambling to hide their dead, and the jihad
intention was to create a manufactured outbreak in China
and ‘blame’ it on the U.S. (jihad involves scapegoating the crimes
of the House of Islam onto their enemy). That they are trying
to paint the U.S. as having ‘the most cases’ and instigating unrest,
they are trying to prevent people from going to the U.S. to join them
in this pathetic jihad against the insane Muhammadans and their worship
of a dead pedophile pig. This religion is as sick as anything can possibly get.
However, the House of Islam miscalculated: China is not stupid
when it comes to Islam – they know Islam is itself an infectious disease
and even declared in formally to the world. Their re-education attempts
of the Chinese Muslims is what the House of Islam is using as pretext
to manufacture a “wrath of Allah” attack on the Chinese while blaming it
on the U.S. The problem is: both China and the U.S. are aware that Islam
carried out the attack.
Basically: the House of Islam is absolutely fucked for this one.
Once there is nobody left to blame, the House of Islam
will entire their most erratic and blood-spilling state.
gravenimage says
With all respect, this is silly. The idea that Muslim scientists somehow invented this virus, sneaked it into China, and fooled scientists all over the world in believing it came from bat caves in Wuhan is just absurd.
Islam presents a real and genuine threat to us–no need to make anything up.
Thomas Richard says
“We’re here…”………To react……After the attack! Too late!
OLD GUY says
The simple answer is to close the border to all islamic’s. And to deport all islamics who are not here legally or have over stayed their visa. It’s time to stop pussy footing around with this issue and take decisive action to protect American citizens.
Let also not forget that China presented this problem to the world. Question is was it done to take down the American economy and Trumps chances for reelection in 2020. If that is true then China has committed an act of war on the USA, with no regard for the rest of the world. The use of a bio weapon is not out of the realm of Chinas capability and desperate response to the economic problems that Trump has created for them.
gravenimage says
I am *no* fan of Communist China, but the idea that they unleashed a virus on their own people in the hope that it would affect the presidential election in a country half-way around the world makes little sense.
OLD GUY says
Maybe not, but the communist have little care about a few thousand people anywhere, all they care about is their power and how to maintain it.
