| Crew Dawg ![]() | I post this somewhat lengthy essay by a good and trusted friend (aka "wrbones") whose work I have followed carefully and respected for a long time. I have taken some minor liberties with formatting and capitalization, and this is posted with the author's expressed permission. Were it not for the urgent subject matter, I would have posted this in Chit Chat. We have been correspondents front and back channel, and I am proud to now call him a friend. His unceasing research along the lines of this essay take him far and wide, but this one stands out. I regard this to be one of his best pieces ever. Sarge "Bonesey" (as I call him) is not one to wear the tinfoil helmet. His helmet is made of good reliable US Marine Corps steel. Sgt Bones is one of the very few who actually knows how I came to be called "Sir Blue"... ------------------------------------------- "I AM GREATLY CONCERNED FOR AMERICA. I AM IN FEAR FOR HER LIFE" SSgt, USMC, Warren Bonesteel August 12, 2006 Most Americans cannot begin to understand the absolute horror that we face. Although they are factors in what I speak of, forget about biased media and liberal colleges. Forget bout lying politicians and greedy businessmen. Forget about peace loving religions. Most Americans simply cannot comprehend the threat that the world now faces. We cannot presently win this war on terror, nor can we win any other war. Most people in this nation do not understand the present threat. People in America have been so safe for so long that any threat to this nation is simply beyond their comprehension. Cognitive dissonance is a fitting phrase to use in describing the attitudes and understanding of most Americans as regards threats to this nation. The concept of any personal or national life-or-death threat is simply beyond their present world-view. What we must understand is that we are in a battle for our very survival, not only as a nation, but as a nation of individuals. Your own life is at stake. The lives of your friends, employers, employees; the lives of your families - your wives, husbands, sons and daughters - is at stake. Yet most of you, even those who understand the fight against terrorists, do not realize this or comprehend this single, lone, stark fact. Islamic culture has no parallel in modern history. Their culture hasn't changed substantially for over twenty-five hundred years. Their culture is not medieval. It is from the Iron Age. A culture of personal survival, of kill or be killed. Additionally, it is a theocratic culture that is founded upon one principle, and one principle alone. Conquer the world for Allah. No, I did not say, "Convert the world for Allah." I said that their goal is to Conquer the world for Allah. First, you must understand that there is no such thing as a moderate Muslim. The only substantial difference between a moderate Muslim and a militant Muslim is a mere matter of timing and of method. The end result is the same. Their ultimate goal is to conquer the world for Allah. They will do whatever is necessary to achieve their goal. When they are not in a position of strength or of political or economic power, they will lie to you, befriend you, cheat and steal from you. They will even work beside you, in your workplace, in your charities, in your politics and social lives, learning all of your habits and idiosyncrasies, so that your own strengths and weaknesses can later be used to conquer or destroy you. They will even find ways to use your own laws and culture to subvert you and your nation. They will use your traditional institutions to cause you to think that they pose no threat to you in any way. They will convince your leaders, your children and yourself that they are a peace loving peoples. They will use your media outlets to convince you that what they tell you is true. They will use your schools to convince you that other religions should not be listened to. They will then convince you that all of your children need to learn more about Islam so that Islam is not misunderstood. They will make sure that you and your children and your leaders are convinced that Islam is a peaceful religion that has been maligned. They will use your own laws to make sure that you learn this. They will make sure - by using your own laws against you - that you are discredited and maligned, fined, fired from your jobs, and even imprisoned if you disagree with what they tell you. In time, they will replace your political representatives with their own, and their only loyalty is to Islam. In time, they will make sure that laws that are passed reflect only loyalty to Islam. At first, they will be quite reasonable, polite and even convincing in their arguments. What could it hurt to have calls to prayer issued by your public address and emergency address systems? What could it hurt to put a mosque in a residential neighborhood where no other religion has a building? What could it hurt? Why, your very own laws - when properly interpreted - allow for such things and more! At first, they will not ask for much, only what is reasonable. After they have gained power in your nation, with the final "acquisition" being performed through violence and genocide, they will kill you, torture you, enslave you. They will do things to you and your families that you cannot imagine, even in your worst nightmares. You are less than a dog to them. You cannot even understand that phrase, for you treat your dogs much, much better than they will treat you. You are infidel. You are less than human to a Muslim...to any Muslim. You don't deserve to breathe the same air they breathe. If you don't believe me, research "Majority Muslim Countries." Then research the recent history of those nations. Their publicly and openly stated purpose for the last thirty years has been to destroy Israel and to destroy the United States and the West. It is past time for you to take them at their word and to treat their threats seriously. Preemption should then find a place at the top of your list of options in dealing with the threat that is posed by Islam. if you do not, you and this nation will go the way of Darfur, of Malayasia, of Indonesia, and if you survive, you will live thereafter under Shia law....as dhimmi, less than human, paying a blood price to be allowed to live from one year to the next, while your next breath and heartbeat are subjected to the whims of any passing Muslim Knowing and understanding the threat that we all face, my gut churns with the knowledge of what must be done if we are to survive in any form as a nation. I fear that our nation has lost the will to survive. Our very survival requires a brutality that few of us can comprehend. Our choice is simple. We must kill or be killed....and we must kill them all, or future generations will have to face the threat. if we don't kill them, they will most certainly kill us all. There is a time for peace and there is a time for war. Now is the time for war. If you are not willing to fight for your own lives, you will doom this nation and doom yourselves, your friends and your families to death and slavery. In recent years in America, they have not asked for much. They have asked for more. Meanwhile, in a tactic of distraction, their fellow Muslims are trying to kill us. Meanwhile, even in the face of encyclopedic, factual, verifiable evidence, most Americans have no idea that their very lives are in danger. Such a life and death threat to their very existence is simply beyond their comprehension. Warren R. Bonesteel Author and researcher 55 Crestview Drive Rapid City, SD 57701 605 388 3005

| Crew Dawg ![]() | A postscript by the Sergeant... dated today. ------------------------------------------------- "I was in the living room earlier, down on my hands and knees, looking under the couch and the chair...for dog toys. The toys had 'migrated' to those geographic locations when the dog's little 'sister' came over to visit this afternoon. Both are from the same litter and she was the runt. She can get under the couch and chair, but he can't. She hides his toys from him. I wasn't trying to clean up the house. The dog wanted his toys and he couldn't reach them. Mahomoud Ahmadinejad, the guy that runs Iran, started his own blog today. Some speculate that Mike Wallace put him up to it. When asked by Sean Hannity if he thinks that Ahmadinejad is anti-semitic, Mike Wallace is quoted as saying, "No." Sometimes when I take the dog for a walk, he will quickly search through his toys and take his favorite cuddly toy with him ...while we walk around the neighborhood. I've almost gotten used to being the part of the new neighborhood social contract that allows a six and a half foot tall middle- aged man to walk a cute as a button pup - with said pup carrying a cuddly toy. One of these days mebbe I can further expand the neighborhood social contract by carrying the toy for the pup. ...I don't think that I'll carry the toy in my mouth the way he does, though Secretary of State Rice warned the Lebanese PM that if they do not honor the cease fire that the US cannot be held accountable for the consequences. A few of my wife's friends were over last evening... talking all of that girl talk. Most of them are younger than she, but that's a good thing. Boyfriends, husbands, housecleaning, sales, clothes, that sort of thing. They also came up with a way to give a neighbor an air conditioner. Until recently, it's been hellishly hot around here. Syria is massing tanks along its border with Israel... and reports say that Israel has more than forty tanks in Southern Lebanon...near the Syrian border. The neighbor's kid came over for a few minutes this afternoon and asked to borrow the lawn mower. I didn't mind. He always puts it right back where he got it, and he doesn't abuse the privilege. ...although the mower is always returned with less gas in it than it had before he borrowed it. Supporters of Hezbollah held a rally today. Hezzbollah flags and everything. Speakers were said to include Ramsey Clark. Hezbollah supporters were rallying for Islamic fundamentalists in front of the White House. A number of American dhimmis were photographed holding posters praising Nasrallah I was working in the den this evening when the wife was making supper. When she was finished, she opened the door, handed a plate full of food to me, and then closed the door. I almost felt like some sort of prisoner for a moment... Then I remembered that the door doesn't have a lock on it. A young red-blooded Englishman and his wife were going to be on one of those flights from Heathrow the other day. They were taking their infant son with them, so that when they blew up the aircraft - their infant son would go to Islam's paradise with them. Later this evening, I took the dog for a late night stroll around the ol' 'hood. He left his toys in the house this time. At the end of the street, looking out across the peaceful - normal - valley below me, I could see house and street lights stretching for mile after mile. The warning lights of both civilian and Air Force airports twinkle on the horizon. A man in a house at the bottom of the hill and across the street was sitting on his porch enjoying the night air, and hopefully, a cold drink as well. Reuters, the AP, the NYT and other news outlets have been caught faking news stories and photographs over the last few weeks. They've been caught staging news events as well. Almost all of those stories benefit or are direct propaganda for the Islamic terrorists. The use of Occam's razor leaves only one conclusion. The news media wants the terrorists to kill you and to kill us all. In spite of overwhelming evidence, a lot of Americans still take their word as gospel truth. With these sorts of things in mind, I well understand the intellectual disconnect of many Americans when considering the threat that we face. It has no immediacy for any of us. So like little children, if the problem is not right before us, causing us immediate discomfort, we ignore it, pick up our stuffed cuddly toys and resume our normal day to day lives without a thought for the future. I've been in the den for more than seven hours tonight. I'll spend most of the next eight to twelve hours here as well. Trying to find ways to tell people about things that they should be gravely concerned with and involved in...but aren't."

| Junior Officer ![]() | The point made by your friend is a real one. So much fluff and no communication/information about the muslim religion. I'd be almost willing to bet that more of the younger generation know more about The birth of Angelina Jolie's baby than they do about the directives in the Quran. Why is that? Is our decline into being political correct at fault,or the eductaion system with liberal indoctrination stuffed in, lack of interest by the media because there is no blood & guts to grab 1 minute of attention? That and more I think. We look at the muslim religion and ask how could so many people be fooled into a belief system that demands domination no matter the means. The we don't look at what is slowly creeping into our everyday life because it isn't entertaining. Some political pundits were discussing the upcomming Nov. elections and why the recent stopping of a terror plot would have no effect on the outcome. The general concensus was that American's have a short attention span. That the price of gasoline and a promise to reduce the pain at the pump would hold more sway than any long term threat.

| Racy Ol' Lady ![]() | bin Laden also said Americans have a short attention span, Brian - and he is right. Everything that matters here is 1) politics (anti-Bush sentiment inflamed by the media so that it's all we hear from many quarters); 2) being politically correct - and the White House is guilty of this too, celebrating Ramadan, for Pete's sake! 3) Ease and comfort - we want the good life, no matter who suffers for it. Even to the children and grandchildren. The easy life now, and the future?
