(Via Daily Mail) Russian President Vladimir Putin has vowed to hunt down and punish the terrorists responsible for downing a passenger jet over the Egyptian Sinai desert after it emerged a 1.5kg ‘home made’ bomb destroyed the aircraft.
Russian security services have admitted that they have found traces of explosives on a passenger jet which was blown up over Egypt’s Sinai peninsula killing all 224 people on board.
A $50 million reward has reportedly been offered for information leading to the killers.

1,000km border wall called the “Northern Border Security Project”
SAUDI ARABIA – Islamic State lists the capture of Saudi Arabia, home to the holy Muslim grounds of Mecca and Medina, as a key goal.
Just over a week ago, IS militants launched an attack on a Saudi border post, killing a senior Saudi general and two border guards, marking the first direct IS assault on Saudi grounds, The Telegraph reported.
In an effort to defend itself from the IS threat and further attacks, the kingdom launched a massive project to construct a “Great Wall” along it’s northern border with Iraq, where IS presence is heavy. (more…)
Several new items of information surfacing including an additional suspected terrorist added who was another Syrian refugee. Ahmed Almuhamed and his brother Mohammed Almuhamed both traveled from Syria to France as “refugees”. The suspects currently named:
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls stated: ♦ Friday’s attacks by Islamist militants in Paris were planned and organized from Syria. ♦ New terror attacks were being planned in France and other European countries. ♦ 150 raids on suspected militants had been carried out across France early on Monday. ♦ France was dealing with a “terrorist army”, rather than a single terrorist group.
(Via BBC) […] “We know that operations were being prepared and are still being prepared, not only against France but other European countries too,” he said, quoted by AFP news agency.
General Patton arose and strode swiftly to the microphone. The men snapped to their feet and stood silently. Patton surveyed the sea of brown with a grim look. “Be seated”, he said. The words were not a request, but a command. The General’s voice rose high and clear:
“Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bullshit. Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle. You are here today for three reasons. (more…)
In a hilariously transparent rush to catch-up to Donald J Trump’s prior position (asserting no Syrian refugees should be granted access to the U.S.A), candidate Marco Rubio joins with another ‘johnny-come-lately‘ Ted Cruz:
In light of the terrorist attacks in Paris, the Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio on Sunday said the US should not take in more Syrian refugees.
The Florida senator had previously signalled openness to relocating some of the millions fleeing the Syrian civil war to American shores.

Video Prompted to [@02:19] Wallace “One of the attackers in the French slaughter was carrying a Syrian passport that seemed to indicate that he had been a refugee that had come into Europe along with the flood of migrants in October. Given that, is President Obama reconsidering the plan to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees over the next year?”
Rhodes: “No, Chris, we’re still planning to take in Syrian refugees,we have very robust vetting procedures for those refugees.”
As this meeting takes place – France begins leveling Raqqa, for all intents and purposes the HQ, Capital of ISIS operations and the Islamic Caliphate.
UPDATE: So far 30 airstrikes have pounded #ISIS stronghold of #Raqqa. No end in sight.

Readers here will note the geopolitical partnership with President Obama and President Erdogan is based on their mutual friendship, very close friendship, and common ideological world view.
The mostly secular Muslim nation of Egypt took control (through general Fattah El-Sisi) of their nation and dispatched the Muslim Brotherhood (the political outreach division of ISIS). Several key leaders of the Brotherhood were exiled, they sought safety in Qatar. Jordan, Bahrain, and Saudi-Arabia eventually joined with Egypt and pressured Qatar to stop being a safe-haven for the Muslim Brotherhood and by extension ISIS.
Exiled yet again the five primary leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist network found a home in Turkey – where they remain today.
By action, not words, Recep Erdogan has shown he is in alignment with the Brotherhood, and their military apparatus that is now ISIS. Erdogan, head of a NATO nation, refused to allow NATO operations to launch in defense of the Syrian and Iraqi Kurds.
Erdogan refused to allow or assist coalition rescue operations to save the Yazidi people in Northern Iraq. Erdogan also strenuously and violently blocked any assistance from reaching Kurds during the siege of Kobane (Kobani).
This is the factually accurate and historic backdrop for the following: (more…)
Earlier this year the U.S. State Department and White House announced they would take 10,000 Syrian “refugees” in the current fiscal year. In the following two years they would settle an additional 200,000. So where are they going:
