I.S.
MONSTER A U.S. CREATION
the
lesson is karma
every
action, good or bad, triggers a reaction
hate begets
hate, love begets love
an eye
for an eye triggers ten eyes for an eye
anti-terrorism
is a form of terrorism
the extremists on both
sides are the culprits
pentagon generals and
jihadists
because there are too
many wounds unhealed
only the next generations
who have no wounds
are the hope for peace -
the grave nurtures a flower
they celebrated when bin
laden was assassinated
it was not a victory, but
the beginning of the end
the greatest danger today
is that
I.S. elements are Arab
Americans and Muslim Europeans
who will go back to their
homelands to sow terror
the enemy is now within
it is no longer just an
exported war
they are in the coffee
shops we go to
NSA will strangle innocent
americans
to find and take out the
enemy within
The accumulation of US intrusions in the Middle East in the last two
decades has ultimately created a monster called Islamic State (I.S.) The many
drones which killed civilians randomly, the illegal tortures at Guantanamo, ultimately
catalyzed an international movement beyond anyone’s imagination. The
hate-America Arab mindset has gathered momentum. Indeed, Al Queda evolved into
a bigger richer better stronger Islamic State in spite of the US trillion-dollar
anti-terrorism drive through the decade. In fact, it is ironically the
anti-terrorism drive which is now triggering more terrorism. For example, the
Israelis do not realize that their ‘ten eyes for an eye’ in the Gaza Strip
genocide may be short-term victory but long-term disaster.
The Syrian revolution offered the golden opportunity. Today, within
three short years, 12,000 Sunnis from 50 countries, including the US, have gathered
in Syria to give birth to the Islamic State. Right now, it is achieving massive
recruitments of Sunnis in I.S. occupied Sunni enclaves in Iraq and in Syria, in
preparation for a final assault on both Baghdad and Damascus.
Now both the US and its protégé Israel are in panic over the very
monster of their own creation, a well-armed wealthy sophisticated vicious cross-border
I.S. army, whose ranks may double in just one month. The US knows its
airstrikes in Northern Iraq, although effective short-term, are futile band-aid
solutions. The US is helpless to contain the I.S. because sending troops is out
of the question, and airstrikes in Syria may have complications. The US fears
that undercover American I.S. members in Syria-Iraq will return to the US to dare
the NSA in new creative terrorist initiatives. The Philippines is not exempt.
There are reports that Filipino Muslims were trained by the I.S. in Syria. In
desperation, the US has to find radical creative solutions, and may have to
shake hands with its enemy Assad. The US-Israel tandem now has a big dilemma.
The
Islamic State’s ‘APOCALYPTIC VISION’
It is important to know the spiritual and psychological evolution of the
Islamic State warrior, how it has evolved through the years. Many cannot
comprehend how they would behead so casually, massacre entire villages, tell
people ‘convert to Islam or die’, such inhuman and vicious actions. Most of the
founders of IS have witnessed their families and communities massacred by
Americans.
The Western media has labeled the I.S.
mindset as an ‘apocalyptic vision’. There is now talk of ‘the third and final
jihad’ and the rise of the ‘anti-Christ’. This perverted vision of total
vengeance was formed as early as before the Iranian Revolution, an accumulation
of protracted violence against the Arabs, or among themselves. The I.S. especially
drools over the beheading of Americans, announcing these in the global internet
for the world to see.
A second factor in
the I.S. growth is the Shiite massacre of Sunnis when they dominated the Iraqi government,
in retaliation to Sunni massacres of Shiites during Saddam’s regime. Lately,
the bombing of a Sunni mosque left 43 dead. It is a vicious circle of vengeance
among Sunnis and Shiites. I.S. has catalyzed an intensified expanded Sunni-Shiite
confrontation. It is possible that in the long term, World War III may begin in
the Middle East if the I.S. takes over Iraq and Syria and stages a new war
versus Iran, the hub of the Shiites. eastwindreplyctr@gmail.com

A
retired general asks, “What if Bangsamoro Revolts?”
A retired general asks – what assurance does the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL)
give that unscrupulous elements in the Bangsamoro autonomous government will
not use their budget to fund a rebel army, if relations with the government
deteriorate later on? There are reports that Filipino Muslims were trained by
I.S. in Iraq. Is there a possibility of an alliance of these Islamic extremists
and ex-rebels elements?
A Philippine Star report says “Both parties recognized the importance
of having the draft BBL passed on time?” In time for what? Not all angles may
be seen right away by fast-tracking. What is the hurry? The ex-general asks –
what if? Can someone answer?

THE LORD OF MERCY IS THE LORD OF WRATH
I will pour out My Spirit upon all mankind
and work wonders in the heavens and on earth
there will be blood and fire and columns of
smoke
the sun will be turned into darkness, the
moon into blood
at My coming, on that great and terrible day
all who call on My name shall be saved
in Mount Zion, there will be remnants
in Jerusalem survivors of My choosing
Joel 3:1-5

we are at the brink of a war
which may usher a greater world war
a war which may be an act of God
against a sinful world
a war that will make rivers
turn red with blood
there are only two ways
to avert a God-given war
first, return to the Lord
second, pray for peace and for each other
let us therefore spread this prayer
across the entire planet
o Lord, you are the Wind
i am the sail
bring me ashore
o Lord, you are the ocean
i am the island
embrace and surround me

fallen is babylon the great (iraq?)
for all nations (industrialized countries?)
have drunk the wine (oil?) of her licentious passion
the kings of the earth who had intercourse with her
merchants of the earth (oil firms?) who grew rich from her luxury
will all weep and mourn over her
for in a single hour (nuclear holocaust?)
the markets for their cargoes will vanish
their great wealth in utter ruin
their great wealth in utter ruin
