Just a Thought

This opinion piece is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com 
[[[ So now it’s been reported (on FOX and elsewhere) that Trump...the man who just had a hissy-fit over again NOT getting the "Nobel Peace Prize"...is seriously considering getting us involved in the battle between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis after their unprovoked terrorist attack on airports in Saudi Arabia that left 12 people dead and over 300 wounded.
 
I say until Saudi Arabia signs onto the "Abraham Accords" that we should let them fight the Houthis themselves as we do not need to expand what is an already expanded Middle East War. And remember, Saudi Arabia did NOT allow us to use their airspace when the Iran War first started…they’re a 2-faced ally at best. ]]]

Op-ed: 
Remembering 9/11...25-Years Later
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor
This opinion piece is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com  

Today we remember the worst terrorist attack ever perpetrated upon American soil. Today we honor the over 3,000 innocent lives lost. Today we also honor America's first responders...our brave police officers, fire fighters, our military, and ordinary citizens...the heroes who ran into danger not away from it. And today we must also honor New York City's then Mayor Rudy Giuliani...forever "America's Mayor"...for his leadership in helping to unitie us all together as not only New Yorkers, but with those killed at Shanksville PA, and at the Pentagon on that ever fateful day.
 
Today I put politics aside...today I truly hope bipartisanship shows who we, as Americans, really are...a people united together as one...for at least this one day.
 
Never must we Forgive...Never must we Forget...for if we do it surely will happen again. Today my thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, their friends, and with my beloved America...may she forever remain the "Home of the Free and the Land of the Brave." 
 
And as I post every 9/11, here is my photo album: The True Horror of 9/11 / Declassified 9/11 Photos, and the one time only played Budweiser Clydesdales commercial that I consider in its simplicity to be one of the greatest 9/11 tributes ever.. 
 
May God Bless America today, tomorrow, and always.

Just a Thought

This thought below is my {Diane Sori) thought alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com
    
[[[ In this time of war with Iran we now also find ourselves at war with our northern neighbor Canada...a Trump initiated tariff based war of sorts now having morphed into a nasty economic PR war...with both countries acting like a 2-year old in the midst of a temper tantrum. One one side is President Trump and his silly "Lake Ontario" name changing game vs the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) now telling its staff NOT to refer to "9/11" as a “terrorist attack” during what will be their upcoming coverage of the "25th Anniversary of "9/11"...the very event that literally woke the world up from what was its deep sleep of complacency. 
 
What President Trump did with his "Lake America" theatrics was uncalled for, calculatingly done to be divisive, yet at the same time being silly at best. However, what Canada's CBC has now done...especially after having told its staff the same thing after the "October 7, 2023" happenings in Israel...should show us and the world that those we once thought to be our ally and friend should never be taken at face value for sometimes said face is but a mask to cover one's true intent and loyalty. 
 
And sadly, in the case of Canada, the mask when unveiled was in regards to the very "terrorist attack" that forever changed the world as we know it. I only hope that Canada's prime minister steps in and tells the CBC "NO" for if the CBC goes through with this not only will Canada have defamed and disrespected both the victims and the heroes of "9/11," but America's friendly relationship with Canada will rightfully never be the same again. ]]]

Op-ed: 
What Happened In Moscow...A Different Perspective 
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio
The Op-ed posted here is this authors opinion alone,and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google.

“The Embassy is monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings including in Moscow, to include concerts, and U.S. citizens should be advised to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours.” - U.S. embassy public advisory alert sent out this past March 7th warning American citizens in Russia to “avoid large gatherings,” due to intel regarding “imminent plans” for an attack by “extremists.” This alert was also sent to Russian authorities as per our “duty to warn” policy even though Russia already had intel of it's own to that effect.

And so the twists and turns in the deadliest terrorist attack in Russia in over 20 years is, as expected, channeling the usual heading known as the “blame game” with Putin first claiming ISIS terrorists were the perpetrators of the attack than switching his story to blame Ukraine instead. And not surprisingly, with Putin's main concern always being to hold onto his iron grip of power, he's now even lobbing accusations against we who tried to warn him of what was expected to come...which sadly it did.

So while our intelligence is, at least for now, going with Putin's ISIS story line...Putin continues to state that he's putting additional countrywide...too little, too late... “security measures” in place. And this comes after his having issued a statement that the four perpetrators of the concert attack have been found and are being detained by the Basmanny district court where they face a maximum sentence of life in prison...and isn't it odd that they're not facing a death sentence. But then again this comes from the man who then tried to switch the narrative by saying that, “They tried to hide and moved towards Ukraine, where, according to preliminary data, a window was prepared for them from the Ukrainian side to cross the state border.”

No Vladimir, I don't think so.

And while Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has rightfully denied both his and Ukraine's involvement in the concert attack...what I believe was a well planned internal massacre masquerading as a terrorist attack...now sees upwards of 140 people having been killed and countless others wounded...the blame in Russian intelligence eyes, at least for public consumption, remains with the “Islamic State Khorasan” or “ISIS-K” as it's more commonly known. So why this focus...because the “Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia” remains, as per Putin, working to identify what they call the “entirety of this terrorist group's support base.” Simply, why would Putin keep the focus thereif he really wants people to believe that Ukraine (or even the U.S.) was involved. In my opinion Putin would not unless this murder of innocents was all pre-planned to either “divert and deflect” the truth away from him via a cover-up so vile that it could change the entirety of not only the Russia v. Ukraine War, but of his regime and Mother Russia herself.

But, before I get into specifics regarding Vladimir Putin, know that “ISIS-K” is the very same terrorist group that murdered 13 American service members at “Abbey Gate” in Kabul during the Biden initiated 2021 U.S. military pullout from Afghanistan. You know the pullout I speak of where Biden not only left a number of Americans behind, but also some of our allies, our Afghan helpers and their families, as well as millions of dollars of key U.S. military equipment behind as well...equipment now in the hands of the Taliban...equipment now being used against the Afghan people themselves and others when need be. So why would “ISIS-K”  now suddenly choose to cause havoc in Russia knowing that her leader is more aligned with known terrorist countries...think Iran, North Korea, etc...than he is with the West. Simply I do not believe that “ISIS-K” was the perpetrator of the Moscow concert attack especially when their stated enemies are the Taliban and the West.

And while what I just stated regarding “ISIS-K” is still something to keep in the back of one's mind as terrorists, at times, need no reason to do what they do...so too is the fact that Putin himself knew in advance of a possible “imminent attack” yet he willingly chose not to add additional security but to pull security away from the “Crocus City Hall”...one of Russia's largest suburban concert halls...a concert hall belonging to a group of companies owned by the Azerbaijani-Russian construction tycoon and billionaire oligarch Aras Agalarov (who happens to own a home/property here in South Florida and is friends with Donald Trump), thus leaving the venue with but minimum security at best. And if that name sounds familiar it's because back in 2016 Agalarov “allegedly” offered Trump’s team supposedly “damaging information” from the Kremlin about Hillary Clinton which led Trump Jr. to hold a meeting at their Manhattan offices, which in turn was the beginning of the Trump witch hunt. An interesting side note if nothing else.

And so the scheduled performers the night of the attack were the Russian “heritage” rock group “Piknik” (“Picnic” in western-vernacular)...a group inspired by western “progressive rock” bands but with a classic Russian twist, and who for this concert were to be accompanied by a symphony orchestra. And “Piknik” was set to play the first of two sold-out concerts when four gunmen in combat gear first opened fire by shooting concert attendees at point blank range while at the same time setting off numerous smoke bombs. Now here is where it gets not only a bit interesting but possibly why I believe this particular concert was targeted, and it falls in line with why I also believe that Vladimir Putin had if not a direct hand in the attack itself, he at least had a hand in covering up the attack's truth.

First some background info on the Russian band “Piknik.” The band's lead vocalist and guitar front man Edmund Shklyarsky, is of the Catholic faith...as opposed to the predominate and Putin favored Russian Orthodox faith... and is not a current “booster,” as he calls it, of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine even though, at first, he supported Putin's “Special Operation” into Ukraine. Also know that Ukrainian authorities had previously banned “Piknik” from performing in the country because the group had played a number of concerts in Russian occupied Crimea including in Sevastopol, and who later released the song “To the Memory of Innocent Victims”...a song about those who were politically oppressed under communism. A quite surprising side note for a man who actually received a degree from Leningrad Polytechnic in the construction of nuclear power plants I'd say.

And the reason I bring up Edmund Shklyarsky's Catholic faith is twofold. First, recently deceased Alexei Navalny, the opposition leader who vocally condemned Vladimir Putin and who died in an Arctic prison under mysterious circumstances...was for many Russians not only still running “posthumously” to replace Putin as president, but Navalny was also of the Catholic faith. And second, the Catholic faith is now growing in number amongst young people in Russia, and it's young people who, like young people almost everywhere else, that do make up the bulk of Russia's concert goers.

Could the gathering that night of what was thousands of predominately young people... those most likely to oppose Putin at the ballot box...have been the actual planned target of the attack all along...an attack as payback for Putin's 12% loss in votes...a loss to one demanding 100% loyalty...a loss happening even in a “rigged election.” Something to at least think about as nothing is beyond the whelm of the former head of the KGB, the man now calling himself president instead of what he actually is...a bonafide dictator. 

Remember, dictators need absolute power in order to help perpetrate ongoing fear which in turn helps keeps the masses in line, and hence themselves in sole control. And in Putin's Russia there's no place for freedom itself nor even for the entertaining of free thoughts for his is a regime that demands absolute control over one's everyday lives and thoughts...no variations from the accepted norm allowed...ever.

And what better way to keep fear ongoing than to allow a pre-planed attack of violence to take place against those most likely to be perceived as a threat to the regime in power. And what better way to mask it than with Putin's pretty words said...words to the affect that, and I quote,“Those who provided them with transport, planned escape routes from the crime scene, prepared caches, caches of weapons and ammunition... means it's obvious that we are faced not just with a carefully and cynically planned terrorist attack, but with the organized mass murder of peaceful, defenseless people. The criminals were cold-blooded and purposefully going to kill, shoot our citizens at point-blank range — our children.” So said Vladimir Putin in his very own words.

And Vladimir Putin is the very man I believe not only knew that the attack on the concert hall was going to take place and when, he might even have helped in the planning of it courtesy of not only his deliberately pulling security out of the venue instead of his increasing it, but because his above stated words themselves, in my opinion, give it away. How so? Because how else would Putin have known that the victims were going to be shot dead at “point-blank range” instead of randomly being fired upon as is the usual case in mass shootings...how else indeed. Remember, some of the victims were followed into what they thought was the safety of the bathrooms, were picked out and shot dead at “point-blank range” while others were simply ignored. Sounds to me like some were selectively targeted to be killed.

Simply, why would a man as vile and ruthless as Vladimir Putin stop something whose aftermath would surely see a rise in the Russian people's collective fear, the very thing needed to help keep him in power, while at the the same time allowing Putin to place blame on the very enemies he is at war with...as in outwardly Ukraine and in the shadows the U.S.? Why indeed?

 

Remember, ever since the “Iron Curtain” went down there has been an influx of Russian nationals into the U.S. and they are some of the biggest boosters of both capitalism and freedom. And with many still having family in Russia they are able to tell them the truth about a regime trying to hide the fact that Russia is a dictatorship where freedom is not allowed and where the west is continuously lied about. And Putin knows this to be truth, and truth is what all good dictators fear the most of being exposed. Expose the truth and in time the aforementioned dissatisfied 12% grows to 20%, then 50%, and more leading to a possible second “Russian Revolution”...that is if Putin's own war weary military doesn't get to him first.

So while Vladimir Putin continues spewing that “ISIS-K” and/or either Ukraine or the U.S. is to blame for the attack, I think the U.S./Ukraine scenario can safely be put to rest for neither have anything to gain from being party to such an attack. Nor do I think ISIS itself...nor any of its sub-groups...had anything to do with this attack even though ISIS and its offshoots are always the first to take credit for attacks they actually didn't do, after all publicity is everything even in terrorist circles...nor do I think that any Russian “splinter groups” had anything to do with it either. And why...because the fact remains that Putin's hold on power is indeed slipping and what better way to regain what is lost than to create an act so vile that it installs in the masses a fear of things getting even worse if he, a man of war who rules with an iron fist, were to lose power.

Just something to think about...and with that case closed.

Op-ed: 
On Brussels, Terrorism, and Obama
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on http://www.americanpbn.com/

“This is my No. 1 priority...“I’ve got a lot of things on my plate, but my top priority is to defeat ISIL, and to eliminate the scourge of this barbaric terrorism.” 
- Barack HUSSEIN Obama's reading a teleprompted response to the recent ISIS terrorist attacks in Brussels

While designated terrorist group CAIR whines and throws a tantrum about presidential candidate Ted Cruz saying there is need for more “enhanced surveillance” of muslims here in America in the wake of last week's ISIS admitted terrorist attacks in Brussels, our president, Barack HUSSEIN Obama, dedicated an entire 59 seconds or so to remarks about said attacks, as he was too busy kissing Raul Castro's butt at a baseball in game in Cuba, before hurrying off to do the tango in Argentina.

Turning his back on Belgium, a NATO partner and ally, these actions should not be unexpected as this is the very same man who went golfing right after he gave our nation's 'official' but so not heartfelt condolences on national television to the family of James Foley...the captured American journalist whose head ISIS cut off and then sent the unspeakable act, via video, over the internet for all the world to see...for all the world to learn and to fear the true horror that is ISIS.

And last Tuesday’s terrorist attacks in Brussels...simultaneous triple bombing attacks taking place six miles apart from each other, two at the airport in Brussels and one at the main downtown train station...were the third major terror attack on European soil in just over a year. Preceded by two attacks in Paris...the January 2015 Charlie Hebdo and Hyper Cacher kosher supermarket attacks, and the attacks at the Bataclan theater and soccer stadium in the French capital last November. And by basically shunning the people of Brussels let's not forget that this is the same man who did not attend the 'Solidarity March' where world leaders locked arms together in support of eliminating terrorism... most specifically islamic terrorism...after the above said horrific Charlie Hebdo Massacre that left over 20 dead...a massacre done simply because of magazine cartoons depicting the pedophile 'so-called' prophet mohamed upset the islamists oh so-delicate sensibilities.

And now ISIS has stated that they have over 400 operatives in Europe ready to strike again...and to strike again soon...to help assure that Europe sets its time clock back 1400+ years to the year 632 when islam began.

And with the qur'an and its 109 verses that call muslims to go to war with all nonbelievers for the sake of islamic rule...for the sake of assuring that we infidels submit to their 'made-up' god known as allah...including qur'anic verse (2:191-193) "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out” and Sura (9:5) ”...slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush...” know these are just two of the many verses of which the kumbaya sorts and bleeding heart liberals sadly still refuse to believe or accept as islamic truth.

And now we have the likes of Barack HUSSEIN Obama warning 'We the People' not to fall into the trap of condemning and retaliating against 'so-called' moderate muslims here in our country...you know the very muslims who refuse to condemn these or any acts of terror perpetrated on Westerners or on Middle East Christians for that matter. In fact, the majority of muslims, both here in the U.S. and abroad, actually condone these acts...actually celebrate these acts...for remember their silence remains deafening...all while they continue to claim that these acts of terror are justified revenge for their self-perceived ongoing killing of muslims worldwide.

Now sadly Obama's words stated upon hearing of the Brussels attack are even more chilling...more telling...for he stated that neither ISIS nor their acts should be allowed to disrupt Americans’ lives, including his own...uncaring selfish bastard that he is. Still refusing to say the words 'islamic terrorism' for fear of crossing and drawing the wrath and ire of his brethren, this most traitorous of presidents went about his merry way traipsing through Cuba and Argentina, turning a blind eye to the fact that not only were Europeans murdered that day but so were four Americans with a dozen others injured including an American military family...Americans who, at the time of this writing, still have not had their names released to the public...on just whose orders I wonder.

So instead of immediately returning home to orchestrate America's response to the attack on our NATO partner, especially with Brussels being the home of NATO headquarters, and with U.S. European Command and NATO now on high alert, Obama's lackluster response becomes even more telling of where his true loyalties lie. And while Jens Soltenberg, Secretary General of the NATO alliance, stated that, "We have decided to increase the alert state at NATO Headquarters. We remain vigilant and continue to monitor the situation very closely," Obama basically turned his and America's back on NATO and on Brussels...shades of his turning our country's back on Israel I would say.

So while world leaders unite to condemn the Brussels attack...just as they did after the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris...still in shock Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel described the attacks as a “black moment for our country,” while Britain's David Cameron calling on the world to “stand together” to defeat terrorism as Britain ramps up police presence and security checks at key transport hubs while his government is looking at increasing the number of armed response units available in the event of an attack in the UK. And while French President Francois Hollande said the deadly blasts had struck at “the whole of Europe,” adding that, "This war against terrorism needs to be carried out with cold blood," France has now deployed an extra 1,600 police officers to border crossings and air, sea and rail infrastructures including adding enhanced security measures at the UK-Belgium and UK-French borders.

And what is Barack HUSSEIN Obama doing while Europe basically gears up for all out war against islamic terrorism...a war we here in this country should be standing strong and united with our European counterparts as a secure Europe translates into a secure America...first, instead of increasing NATO spending and our military presence in Europe, Obama has basically cut our European presence by about 30% during his two terms in office, manpower needed to aid NATO in it's fight against the muslim invasion of Europe...and yes it is an invasion...and second, Obama has started the process of bringing into this country thousands of unable to be vetted 'so-called' Syrian refugees...male refugees primarily of military age whose loyalties and allegiances come very much into question.

Treason on all accounts I would say...treason as response to the bombings continues to come in from Turkey, Israel, and Putin's Russia. Turkish officials claim to have warned Belgium officials not once but twice about the terrorist ties of Ibrahim el-Bakraoui, one of the suicide bombers. And it's now being reported that Israeli intelligence agencies sent specific warnings to Belgium authorities about an immanent attack on the Belgium train station, but what was ignored by European intel agencies was the fact that intel of that type should automatically have been expanded to include airports as well, and it wasn't. And Russia's response included condolences to Belgium of course as well as expressing solidarity to join in the fight against islamic terrorism. However, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova said that the West's politics of 'double standards' had led to terrorist attacks, and that the “frozen diplomatic relations between NATO and Russia” have slowed the fight against terrorism.

Led to the terrorist attacks and slowed the fight against terrorism Russia claims forgetting that not too long ago one of their own commercial jets was shot out of the sky by islamic terrorists killing all aboard. And while muslim sympathizers continue to make excuses for the terror acts now engulfing Europe saying they are a most legitimate response to grievances against the West...and most specifically justification against America...Barack HUSSEIN Obama's lack of serious response has America aligning with the enemy instead of with our allies even though he knows well that more attacks are coming...and coming soon...with the next 'big one' saved for American soil.

So the only question that remains is will that attack happen while Obama dances the night away or will it happen while he kisses more Castro butt...or will Obama get his brethren to wait until the next president takes over so as to keep his legacy safe. A distinct possibility but at what price...Europe cannot take much more as his brethren overwhelm their borders...as his brethren destroy the very civilization from which America was born.

Op-ed:
Guilty as charged...NO trial needed
By: Diane Sori
                           
And the joke that is the Obama administration continues to be perpetrated on ‘We the People’…

Case in point is the just underway but called to an abrupt halt after only one day Fort Hood Massacre trial…a court-martial actually for the man charged was and still technically is an Army Major (who is receiving his military salary which as of now stands at $300+ thousand). And what a farce of a trial this is as it’s based on a charge of ‘workplace violence’…which we all know it was anything but ‘workplace violence’ for what this miserable excuse of a man did was commit a terrorist attack on American soil and NOTHING less.

A terrorist attack committed by a muslim jihadist who called himself a ‘mujahedeen’ (a muslim holy warrior), Nidal Malik Hasan freely admitted he committed the attack calling it jihad…a muslim holy war against Americans…yet this administration…this president… refused to classify it as such even after the murderer’s (and I refuse to say ‘alleged’) own admission as proof of his intent…refused it because this equally miserable excuse of a president sides with those out to kill us.

And guess who is actually footing the $5 million bill for this charade of a trial that could take months to complete…yup you guessed it…”We the People’…the American taxpayers…are getting taken to the cleaners yet again.

And adding insult to injury is the fact that when military judge Col. Tara Osborn ruled that this most vile man could defend himself, and thus call the victim’s families and those who survived his rampage to the witness stand to be cross examined…allowing Hasan to taunt and ridicule those whose lives he changed forever…this became NOT a trial for murder…in fact for 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted murder…but a stage for proselytizing and in defense of islam and NOTHING more for this man is guilty as charged…and NO prolonged expensive trial is needed to prove it.

Proselytizing and defending islam even though the media and the Obama administration still refuse to acknowledge that islam had anything to do with the murders, even though Hasan has claimed that he shot his victims in defense of the Taliban leadership in Afghanistan.

Can’t get any more islamic or jihadist than that now can you.

And in Hasan’s opening statement before a panel of 13 senior Army officers including nine colonels, three lieutenant colonels, and one major….islam very much was in play as Hasan’s very words laid the ground work for the crux of this trial being all about islam and NOTHING else. “The evidence will clearly show that I am the shooter…Witnesses will testify that war is an ugly thing. Death, destruction and devastation are felt from both sides, from friend and foe. Evidence from this trial will only show one side. I was on the wrong side, but I switched sides” he said…switching sides and following the tenets laid down in the qur’an…’kill the infidels wherever you may find them’ (Sura, 9:5).

And the infidels Hasan chose to target were military ‘supposed’ infidels for he seemed to spare civilians, all while yelling the standard jihadist battle cry, ‘Allahu Akbar’…’God is great’…as he mowed them down one after the other…one after another and all because he was about to be deployed to Afghanistan and didn’t want to go. So instead, he took it upon himself to follow what he believed to be his jihad call to duty to kill as many US soldiers as possible in his self-described war between America and his so-called islamic faith.

And while Hassan faces lethal injection if convicted of all the murder charges (a unanimous guilty verdict is required for execution but keep in mind that the military has NOT executed an active duty US serviceman since 1961) that decision would be subject to years…maybe decades…of complex legal appeals as he sits in jail and grows old…and again guess who foots the bill for all this…none other than we American taxpayers.

But what of the families of those murdered and the survivors who are going through hell having to sit through this sham of a trial with many still bearing the scars of that day…they get NOTHING from our government for surviving a terrorist attack…NO Purple Hearts that would have allowed them to get medical aid and benefits many still need…and all because Barack HUSSEIN Obama said this attack was ‘workplace violence’ and NOTHING more, thus giving more considerations to the shooter than to the victim’s families and survivors.

Par for the course for this administration I’d say.

And now with Hasan’s court appointed standby attorney Lt. Col. Kris Poppe accusing Hasan of deliberately trying to secure a conviction and death sentence (thus completing his wanted circle of jihad), because by acting as his own attorney in the way that he is in a manner that "we believe is repugnant to defense counsel and contrary to our professional obligations”…the trial came to an abrupt halt after only one day.

And so this farce of a trial is to be continued whenever…

Get your popcorn ready folks, because this trial will be long, drawn out, and one for the books for sure.
