The next time there’s an event that calls for teddy bears and flowers, it would be nice instead to look for and elect leaders capable of seeing and dealing with these threats

Sick and tired of teddy bears and flowers



If like me, you’re sick and tired of teddy bears and flowers junking up public spaces because of yet another “man-caused disaster,” then you might be interested in the following: According to the Saturday edition of the Times of London, there are currently some “23,000 jihadist extremists” living in Britain and all are considered by The Times’ "intelligence sources” to pose a risk of violence. Some more than others, but the intelligence community maintains that all pose a “residual Risk.” Let’s put this another way; suppose that instead of looking at these dangerous whackos in a law enforcement or mental health context we viewed them in military terms. Exactly how big a hostile force would 23,000 combatants comprise?

Progressive elites proclaim the virtues of multiculturalism, openness and inclusivity

According to Wikipedia a battalion is a military unit comprising of between 300 and 800 soldiers. So taking the highest number, we’re looking at approximately 29 battalions. How many battalions does it take to form a brigade? During World War II, a brigade was made up of 3 battalions, so it would appear that there are in excess of 3 brigades of hostiles in Britain, which makes up more than an entire army division. Yet each passing day our progressive elites proclaim the virtues of multiculturalism, openness and inclusivity. And every time a bomb goes off or a truck mows down a gaggle of Christmas shoppers or 49 gay men and women are executed, out come the flowers, tears and teddy bears and the usual pabulum about hearts and minds being with the victims’ families, all the while accompanied by the usual Greek chorus of op-ed shills like Britain’s Independent that “There’s only one way that Britain should respond to attacks such as Manchester. That is by carrying on exactly as before.” In other words, the Indie is advocating classic insanity. Albert Einstein’s definition of that affliction entails continuing to do the same things repeatedly, yet expecting a different outcome.

Hillary Clinton, Angela Merkel, Justin Trudeau and the Davos crowd, and Elites decry the resurgence of populism

While Western elites, such as Hillary Clinton, Angela Merkel, Justin Trudeau and the Davos crowd decry the resurgence of populism, they concomitantly see no solution to the problem of violent jihadists other than to call the cops. It’s a small wonder that dreaded populism didn’t come back a lot sooner, given that tens of thousands of people around the world have been slaughtered in the name of Allah. What’s really needed is to frame this issue in a different light, and I’m not the first, nor the only person to make this suggestion. A really good start would be a brisk and robust military response, as the cops are clearly out of their depth, both legally as well as tactically. This means taking the fight to the enemy, rather than wait like lambs for the slaughter. A good place to start would be a massive military foray into the heart of jihadi strongholds in places like Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Yemen and anywhere else this beast rears its ugly head. President Trump is taking a strong step in the right direction by asking countries in the Middle East to form a NATO-like alliance for mutual protection in the region.

West should not allow one more immigrant or refugee to live among us

And if that involves fighting a war with Iran, so be it, as that will happen at some point in the not so distant future, no matter what we do. Finally and of equal importance, the West should not allow one more immigrant or refugee to live among us, until such time that it has been demonstrably determined the individual will pose no threat. Of course, this is all the pipe dream of a populist, as our current elites and their families are personally protected and it’s in their interest to maintain the status quo. The next time there’s an event that calls for teddy bears and flowers, it would be nice instead to look for and elect leaders capable of seeing and dealing with these threats.
