No one ever wants a Cosby moment, a moment when all of one’s suspected bad deeds are exposed to the world. Fettulah Gulen, the undisputable leader of the Gulen Movement was recently provided such a Cosby Moment, compliments of the FBI.Mr. Gulen, a Muslim cleric from Turkey, with an elementary education only, is a mysterious fellow. In cables divulged by WikiLeaks, the U.S. Department of State described Mr. Gulen as “a ‘radical Islamist’ whose moderate message cloaks a more sinister and radical agenda.” He is reputed to be worth roughly $25 billion, although no one seems to know from where he earned this tidy sum. Most notably and despite the Department of State’s perspective, he espouses principles of tolerance and multicultruralism. Yet upon deeper investigation,he is a true dyed-in-the-wool Islamist who wishes to transform the United States and Turkey into Sharia states.
Carly’s medieval history degree
Fiorina: Medieval History Degree Will Help Her Defeat ISIS
“What ISIS wants to do is drive us back to the Middle Ages, literally.”
10.5.2015Who would have thought that a bachelor’s degree in medieval history and philosophy, even from Stanford University, would prove useful for anyone but a university medievalist – much less a presidential candidate?“Finally my degree in medieval history and philosophy has come in handy,” said Carly Fiorina Sunday night, “because what ISIS wants to do is drive us back to the Middle Ages, literally.”ABC News reported that the point arose while Fiorina was addressing a town hall crowd in Windham, New Hampshire. Asked by a member of the military for assurance that she is capable of taking on the Islamic terror group, Fiorina replied that ISIS is “an evil that must be defeated,” and that she would work with allies in the Middle East such as Turkey who have asked for specific resources and assistance to fight the extremist group. Turkey, for example, has asked for help establishing a no-fly zone along its border with Syria.Asked to elaborate on how a degree in medieval history will help her handle ISIS, Fiorina replied,“Every single one of the techniques that ISIS is using — the crucifixion, the beheadings, the burning alive — those were commonly-used techniques in the Middle Ages, so we can’t avert our eyes and pretend it’s an exaggeration that ISIS wants to take its territory back to the Middle Ages. But that is in truth what they want to do and are attempting to do.”

Tancredo: European Colonization, Not Refugee Resettlement
by Tom Tancredo 4 Sep 2015
In the mushrooming “refugee crisis” in Europe, there is a big dog that is not barking.
Why are the more than one million Muslim refugees so anxious to get to northern Europe and not, say, Saudi Arabia or Egypt? Why are we obligated to help them get to Amsterdam, Oslo and London? And why in the world is the United States government planning to take 66,000 Syrian refugees?
Yes, Europe is faced with a massive refugee crisis when a million homeless people surge northward in search of food, shelter and safety. But why are they choosing Germany, Belgium, Sweden and Britain and not neighboring Muslim countries?
And why does the United States have any obligation whatsoever to absorb any more refugees and asylum seekers than the over 100,000 we already accept each year from Central America, Asia and Africa?
This human wave surging across Europe is a byproduct of the interminable civil war in Syria, ISIS massacres of whole cities in Iraq – and the terrorist mayhem across North Africa unleashed by Obama’s incredibly stupid “Arab Spring.” We can understand why people are fleeing the chaos. But why must Muslim refugees be accommodated with shelter, food, and jobs in Europe instead of in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkey?
Turkey is a symptom of the larger problem. Turkey has refugee camps, but the Turkish government encourages and helps the refugees’ movement to seaports where they can arrange to be smuggled across the Aegean Sea to Greece, Italy or elsewhere.
Why don’t the refugees want to stay close to home so they can return when the violence stops?
Is this simply a flight to the perceived safety and welfare state generosity offered by European nations? Or is something else going on here? Why is it not politically correct to ask that question? (more…)
Where do federal government reports go once they’ve been published and (lightly) chewed over by second-tier officials, congressional staffers and think-tank wonks? I picture them being packed into crates and stored in some vast warehouse, like the Ark of the Covenant in the last scene of “Indiana Jones.”
Every now and again, however, some of these reports are worth rescuing from premature burial.
So it is with the “Assessment of Nuclear Monitoring and Verification Technologies,” the soporific title given to a report published last month by the Pentagon’s Defense Science Board. The report is long on phrases like “adaptable holistic methodologies” and “institutionalized interagency planning processes.” But at its heart it makes three timely and terrifying claims.
First, we are entering a second nuclear age.
Second, the history of nuclear proliferation is no guide to the future.
Third, our ability to detect nuclear breakout—the point at which a regime decides to go for a bomb—is not good.
