While America Sleeps
It has been 248 years since the American Colonies declared their independence from Great Britain. Through the awesome Providence of God’s favor, He raised us up from insignificance and brought us through many hardships, dangers, and struggles to become the most powerful, most prosperous, and most freedom-blessed nation in the world. We have spent our tears and blood in this continuous struggle, but it was the Lord of Hosts who guided us and planted and nurtured our determination to persevere. We have raised mighty armies and mighty industries, and achieved spectacular technological advances, but it was always though His kind Providences that we succeeded in our building and in our victories. It has always been His invisible but invincible Arm that has defended us and brought confusion and defeat upon our enemies.
Will a nation that turns its back upon its God-given blessings and protection from its enemies do so without consequences? Will a nation that turns its back upon God’s Word and teachings continue to prosper? Will a nation that openly defies God’s standards long enjoy peace and security? In his 1978 Commencement address at Harvard University, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn summed up how the Russian people had fallen into what turned out to be over 70 years of oppression, suffering, and brutality under Soviet Communism, in which some 60 million people were “swallowed up:”
Shattering Palestinian Political Myths

Truth versus Palestinian Propaganda
Four major political myths govern most Palestinian propaganda justifying Jihad against Israel and the Jews.
Jihad is Arabic for “struggle” and in Islamic theology primarily means Holy War against all unbelievers to establish the supremacy of Muslims, Islam, and Islamic Law over them. Jihad is a major Islamic doctrine and accounts for over 31 percent of the text of the three most holy and revered foundational documents of Islam: the Quran, Hadith, and Sira. The Hadith are the collections of Muhammad’s sayings , and the Sira is the collection of Muhammad’s actions and biography. Sharia (Islamic Law) derives from these three. Winston Churchill often referred to Islam as Mohammedanism, because the Quran allegedly came from Allah through the Angel Gabriel to Muhammad, and the Hadith and Sira (together called the Sunna) are the traditions and teachings of Muhammad. Muhammad is therefore the supreme prophetic source of Islam and knowledge of Allah. Jihad is obligatory duty for all who are able to participate.

The Formidable Shadow of Jihadist Ideology
Middle East—Then and Now
In a surprise attack on October 7, a Hamas terrorist force of about 2,500 brutally murdered 1,200 Jewish civilians, including entire families with their children, even babies. Another 240 were taken hostage, including children and the elderly. Many victims were tortured, and many of the women were raped. Yet a Birzeit University survey of 668 West Bank and Gaza Palestinians indicated that 68 percent strongly supported these acts and another 16 percent supported them to some extent, yielding a total of 84 percent who strongly or somewhat approved. Birzeit is a major University of 14,000 students in the Palestinian West Bank.

Strategy Implications for Ongoing International Conflicts
2023 American Patriotism in Clayton, NC
From October through December 1972, U.S. B-52 bombing and U.S Navy mining of North Vietnamese principal ports brought the North Vietnamese Communists in Hanoi to their knees. This and President Nixon’s Vietnamization of the ground war beginning in 1969 had brought all but 26,000 Americans home and won the war. A peace treaty was signed in Paris on January 27, 1973. It could have been a stronger treaty had Congress not applied financial pressures to limit American actions. However, all that was needed to maintain peace was keeping the South Vietnamese armed forces supplied. But following Nixon’s Watergate scandal and 1974 Congressional elections, Congress so limited funds to support South Vietnam’s defensive capabilities that North Vietnam, bolstered by renewed Soviet financing, launched a massive, heavily equipped invasion of South Vietnam and Cambodia in 1975. The abandonment and the fall of South Vietnam and Cambodia resulted in the deaths of 1,1 million South Vietnamese and 2.4 million Cambodians by murder, starvation, deprivation, and drowning in the South China Sea under the brutal rule of Communist regimes. We had won the war, but Congress gave the victory away with disgraceful consequences.

Making Truth and Islamophobia a Crime
US Vice President Kamala Harris
On November 2, U.S Vice President Kamala Harris announced a new national strategy to counter Islamophobia. The English language term, “Islamophobia,” appeared academically as early as 1923, but its widespread coinage as a major Muslim Brotherhood propaganda word originated with the Council of Islamic-American Relations (CAIR) between 2011 and 2012.
The powerful 57-nation member Organization for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) within the United Nations (UN) had been lobbying Western UN members to make Islamophobia (essentially any criticism of Islam) a punishable hate crime. They had already succeeded in many Western European nations of the European Union. In late 2011, less than a year before the Benghazi incident, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was consulting by direction of President Obama with OIC leadership to make Islamophobia a punishable hate crime in the U.S. To get such a federal law passed by Congress in the United States at that time would have been politically problematic. Recognizing the political risk to the Obama Administration, Clinton’s strategy to appease the OIC was to penalize criticism of Islam by informal “social shaming,” making use of federal government influence on the media, academia, and cultural and political power centers.
