If true, this one email I received could lead to America’s “Guadalcanal” – the turning point, the instant we stop losing and start winning the War on Terror!
After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and destroyed our Pacific fleet, killing 2,500 Americans, Japanese troops stormed enough Asian beaches to turn the Pacific Ocean into a Japanese lake – the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and New Guinea –threatening Australia itself. Meanwhile, Germany owned Europe and was fast closing the deal on the Soviet Union. It was near-impossible to build a case for eventual Allied victory.
Then, one day in August of 1942, American Marines landed on an island in the Solomons called Guadalcanal. That changed very little at first, but that tiny touch of good news from Guadalcanal turned defeat into determination, tired bones into bonfires. We started winning and never quit until our enemies surrendered.
This email I received detailed a series of small “Guadalcanals” that, together, make a resounding point. Not every country is sentenced to 18 more months of Obama. Not every country is paralyzed by political correctness that keeps them from pinpointing radical Islam as a threat to mankind. And not every country is content to put on a happy face and wait for American leadership. Bits of “pushback” against radical Islam are popping up everywhere. This email is enough to drive a jihadist to gin.
One problem. All we know about the origin of this email is that it was forwarded to me by my Cousin Judy! There’s no attribution, confirmation, cited source or any other kind of authenticating clue. I wanted to read it on radio as well as summarize it here. But journalism preaches “Don’t touch it!” Literally! Instead, put laboratory gloves on and drop it into sulfuric acid and spray it out over Death Valley! Talk about frustration! It was like smelling whiskey through a jailhouse door.
Then a strange new light dawned over me. That business of ignoring anything that’s not properly sourced dates back to a time before “workplace violence” murdered American soldiers at military posts inside America, before stock boys in Minnesota hitched rides to Syria to join ISIS, before Mideast regional powers began staging outdoor rallies shouting “Death to America!” And if each et cetera were a walnut, you wouldn’t want the whole bag to fall on you.
Here are some highlights from Cousin Judy’s email:
Angola has become the first nation to ban Islam.
Record numbers of Muslims are being deported from Norway spurred by the desire to lower the crime rate.
Japan is the only nation that will not grant citizenship to Muslims.
Germany reports anti-jihadist feeling is running high. There’ve been attacks on 81 mosques.
Austrian police have arrested 13 Muslims suspected of recruiting for terrorist organizations.
A Chinese court sentenced 22 imams to jail for spreading hatred. China also executed eight jihadists for agitating for a separate Muslim state.
The Czech Republic wants it known that, because of their bad behavior, Muslims are not welcome there.
The British Home Secretary has announced a crackdown on Muslims who, in light of unacceptable behavior, abuse the privilege of dual citizenship.
The Polish Defense League has announced a campaign to ban Shariah law. Sixteen American states have either banned Shariah or have legislation pending.
Large numbers of Muslims in Northern Ireland are planning to leave because of growing animosity toward jihadist behavior.
Dutch member of Parliament Machiel de Graaf proposes the closing of all mosques in the Netherlands, again citing bad behavior. “The Netherlands would be a great country without the jihadists,” said he.
The journalistic aversion to un-sourced material is well-placed. The above is un-attributed, un-corroborated and unconfirmed. If we were to use it with the attitude of “Stay tuned here for all your raw meat without prissy chefs diluting all the good stuff,” that would, in my judgment, still warrant 30 days in the electric chair. However, our attitude is, “Look, Americans. We’re under attack. Our president won’t let us anger the attackers, and our media won’t let us anger the president.
“So, what you’ve read just now has nothing to do with boosting circulation. Instead I’m answering that wonderful question, ‘What can I do for America?'”
I have raw intelligence here. Do you have connections with any of these countries? Have the Czechs really invited the Muslims out? Is Northern Ireland really fed up with jihadist behavior? Is there really such a thing as the Polish Defense League?
My resources are admirable but finite. Remember how the sheriff used to deputize as many good citizens as he needed? Pretend I’m deputizing all of you who want to do something positive for America. Call the Washington embassy or the U.N. Mission of the Czech Republic, or the Beijing regime, or the Poles, the British, the Australians or the Japanese and ask if any or all of this is true. If so, give them a high-five over the phone and let them know you, as an American, thank them.
I am not a journalist with thumbs through my suspenders and my tummy puffed out in pride, bragging about a scoop.
I am an American patriot with raw intelligence.
Will you help me cook it?
