A U Attack.hats the title o the latestbooklet by Gerald Flurry, editor in chie o the rumpet.Te book was published last month. Its ree and you canread, or request a ree hard copy, here.

Teres a lot to be impressed by in this book, but orme one o the most striking is the way events since itsreleasehave so powerully vindicated its message.

America Under Attackis a smartly structured, well-researched, hard-hitting expos o a terribly destructive warcurrently being waged on America, a war that is being waged,sadly, rom the inside. he book has some pretty condemningobservations which are delivered with some uncompro-mising, rereshingly straightorward language. Mr. Flurryexplores and explains the sinister and destructive actions oAmericas leadership, including the behavior o both politicalparties but especially the radical lef, the mainstream media,

the White House and President Obama. Un-like the many other books on this subject,criticizing the president and his men,or the media and radical lef, is not thecentral purpose o the book.

What makesAmerica Under At-tackso prooundand so entirelyuniqueis the way Mr. Flurry getsto the central causeo Americasinternal conlict. he book doesntmerely criticize the decisions orbehavior o Americas leaders: It

gives the reason Americas leaders

think the way they think and actthe way they act.

But again, its the way this bookhas been so powerully punctuated by events that I findespecially remarkable, and that I want to write about here.

First, think back on that horrible week in April thatbegan with a terrorist bombing in Bostonthe first suc-cessul attack on U.S. soil since /, ollowed by a massiveexplosion at a ertilizer actory in exas two days later, andconcluded with two ailed bio-attacks on the government.Remember that week? Tat was also the weekAmericaUnder Attackbegan landing in mailboxes.

I remember thinking to mysel while reading about theBoston bombing, Wow, what a rough week for the States.

America is really under attack.And I remember that sameday opening an envelope that arrived in the mail and

experiencing an adrenalin rush as I read the title o thebook that ell out:America Under Attack.

Since then, the message oAmerica Under Attackhasbeen punctuated over and over and over.

Well review some o these events in a moment, butfirst lets highlight just a ew statements rom this book.Heres what Mr. Flurry wrote about U.S. oreign policy(emphasis his throughout): [I]n looking at the decisionsthis administration is making, Im hard-pressed to thinko that dont have the eect o weakening America,and strengthening the orces o evil in this world.

Teres a chapter inAmerica Under Attackon the growing

tendency among many o Americaspoliticians, journalists and intelligentsiato reject, circumvent and undermine theU.S. Constitution. Why is this happen-ing? Mr. Flurry answers: It is becausethe Obama administration is takingactionsjust about every weekthatraise constitutional questions andthat A- .

In another section, Mr. Flurryexplains the level o deceit anddeception coming rom the Obama

administration: W , -

. Te book quotes Mr. Obamaassuring the American people, You know where I stand.You know what I believe. Y I . othat, Mr. Flurry delivers a bold and rank response: Doesthepresident tell the truth? I ?

Tink on that last question, Is anyone paying atten-tion? When Mr. Flurry wrote this book, and even whenit was released last month, its sae to say most Americanswere not paying attention, at least

The AyatollahsPresidential ElectionCallum Wood | May 23

A June Iranian presidentialelection draws closer, speculationremains over who will take the seatPresident Mahmoud Ahmadinejadhas filled or the past eight years. Tedecision doesnt rest with the Iranianpeople. It rests with Supreme LeaderAyatollah Ali Khamenei.

It is certainly within the ayatollahsmeans to elect the president o hischoice. Te responsibility o selectingthe ew contenders ell to the Guard-ian Council. O this group, six havebeen directly appointed by the ayatol-lah himsel; the other six were ap-pointed by the judiciary and approvedby parliament, both o which are heav-ily influenced by the ayatollah.

Te Guardian Council is themost influential body within Iran.

It approves all bills that go throughparliament and has the ability to barcandidates rom running in electionsor parliament. More importantly orthe upcoming election, it can vetocandidates or the presidency.

Te man widely alleged to beMr. Ahmedinejads presidentialchoice was Esandiar Rahim Mashaei.Unortunately or the president andMr. Mashaei, the Guardian Councilblocked him rom entering the race.President Ahmadinejad lost popu-

larity with the ayatollah during hissecond term in office, and some o theanti-Ahmadinejad sentiment was car-ried over to Mr. Mashaei.

Te other man who looked to be agood contender was ormer PresidentAkbar Hashemi Rasanjani. However,he too was not so popular with theayatollah and the Guardian Council.He was barred afer the GuardianCouncil ruled he was too old to runor office.

Mr. Mashaei and Mr. Rasan-jani were widely considered the bestchance or change within the regime.With both men removed, the ayatollahwill pick who will be the next puppetpresident.

Tere is one contender that standsout at the moment: Saeed Jalili. He iscurrently Irans chie nuclear negotia-tor with the international community.

Whoever the new president is, hewill remain firmly under the controlo Ayatollah Khamenei.

Tat means the same radical idealsand the same destructive goals. Look-ing at the way the election race is play-ing out, it appears Iran will continuedown the ayatollahs preerred courseo action in regards to oreign and do-mestic policy under its new president.Tis prospect is backed up by Bibleprophecy.

S , Algeria has yet to experience the political up-

heaval that has transormed much o the Middle Eastand North Arica during the Arab Spring that has takenhold across the region over the past years. However,questions about the health o long-time President Ab-delaziz Bouteflika are raising the possibility o a leadershipchange in that country in the near uture that could resultin a struggle or power and adestabilization o the country.Given Algerias strategic location,unrest in that country wouldlikely have a major impact uponmuch o North and West Arica,as well as the Mediterranean

region.Last month, -year-old

Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika was reported tohave suffered a stroke and has been recovering rom thisstroke in a hospital in France ever since. His absence romthe public eye has led to rumors in Algeria that the presi-dents health is much worse than is being admitted by theAlgerian government and that he may not be able to returnto power. As President Bouteflika had been expected torun or a ourth term in office in next years presidential

election in Algeria, his health woes are leading to increased

speculation as to who could succeed him as president.However, Algerian political power is careully balanced be-tween the countrys armed orces and intelligence services,with President Bouteflika managing this delicate balance.

Te risks o a political crisis in Algeria are many andinvolve not only Algeria, but its neighboring regions as well.

Internally, a political vacuum atthe top could result in a battleor power between Algerias rivalpower centers. Moreover, it couldallow the Islamist insurgencythat plagued the country in thes to resurace, severely desta-

bilizing the country. Externally,unrest in Algeria could destabi-

lize neighboring Libya and unisia, while ueling tensionswith Morocco, a country that Algeria has had tense rela-tions with in the past. Finally, unrest in Algeria could allowmilitant groups to establish bases o power in the vast Sa-hara Desert in southern Algeria, a development that wouldhave consequences or much o North and West Arica. Assuch, Algeria and its neighbors will watch the health oPresident Bouteflika very careully in the coming weeks.

A I loses ground in Syria, Lebanon and the GazaStrip, expect ehran to try to shore up its ability toinfluence the Middle East in the most unlikely o places:Egypt.

Over the last ew years there have been numerous signsthat Cairo and ehran were making tentative steps towardchanging their previously rather rosty relations, includ-ing the transit o Iranian warships through the Suez Canal,open discussion among decision-makers in both countriesabout normalizing ties, Egyptian President MohamedMorsis August visit to Iran or a meeting o the Non-Aligned Movement, and his Iranian counterparts recipro-cal visit to Cairo this past February or the summito theOrganization o Islamic Cooperation.

Tese are tentative, largely symbolic steps, most o whichcan be explained awayat least on the Egyptian endbythe domestic political need or Morsi and the Brotherhood

to demonstrate that their independent oreign policy ismore than just a talking point. Although the Iranians arelikely interested in something much bigger than symbol-ism, the Egyptians may, out o a combination o despera-tion and shrewdness, take ehran up on whatever over-tures the Iranians have orthcoming.

Both Egypt and Iran are desperate, albeit in differentways. Te Egyptians need cash and uel rom anyone whois willing to give it to them. Despite the act that the Obamaadministration and the European Union have been say-ing or months that sanctions on Iran have begun to bite,the Iranians have both. Why wouldnt Egypt respond to

overtures rom Iran, offering to relieve the financial and

economic pressures that are threatening the Brotherhoodsproject? ehrans assistance would no doubt help the Egyp-tians cope. At the same time ehran is acing the prospecto a major strategic setback in the Levant. I Bashar al Assad

finally succumbs to the civil war that is engulfing his coun-try, Irans position in both Syria and Lebanon will becomesignificantly more complicated. Under these circumstances, itis plausible that ehran might want to exploit Cairos interestin improving bilateral relations and its precarious economicsituation as a hedge against potential losses elsewhere.

Te Iranians and Egyptians both have an interest insignaling to the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia thatthey will not be bought, intimidated or manipulated. []here is no better way or Egypts new leaders to prove thatthey will not be lackeys o the United States (and by asso-ciation, Israel) than a dal liance with the Iranians.

Te Iranians have never been shy about poking Ameri-

cans, Israelis and Saudis in the eye, but establishingcooperative ties with the Egyptians would be a geostrategictriecta.

Tere is a belie in the Persian Gul and urkey, not tomention influential public opinion in the United States,that Iran without the Assad amily is out o options. TeIranians will no doubt be looking or ways to prove thisnotion wrong and opening up to Egypt is likely part o theplan.

Neither Egypt nor Iran is a status quo power in the re-gion. Cairo and ehran may want different things, but theydo share one common goalreducing as much as possible

the exercise o American power in the region.

n A bloody week in IraqIraq experienced yet another sevendays o carnage. What started aspeaceul protests between Sunni andShiite Arabs, led to bloody reprisalattacks, similar to those that nearlyled to civil war in and .From Wednesday to Monday around people died; exact numbers are

still speculative due to the type andrequency o attacks. At this rate, Maymight catch up to April, which saw deaths in such attacks across thenation. Look at that in relation tothe attacks in Boston. In one week,Iraq saw a death toll almost timesgreater than that o the Boston bomb-ing. As tragic as that terrorist attackwas, its numbers pale in comparisonto the violence now sweeping acrossIraq. Tis latest round o violencein war-torn Iraq stems rom a clash

between Sunni protesters and govern-ment orces on April .

n Muslims and assimilation inGermanyTe German Islam Conerence, widelybelieved to be one o the best hopesor Muslim integration in Germany,ended its annual conerence in ailure.Te meeting, held in Berlin on May ,revolved around three main issuesthat involve the Muslim community:

institutional cooperation betweenMuslims and the German state; genderequality as a common value; andprevention o extremism, radicaliza-tion and social polarization. GermanMuslims rebutted all three issues.Te first issue, between Muslims andthe government, was countered by

Muslims calling on the German gov-ernment to make more concessionsas it accused it o interering withIslamic teaching. Te second issue,gender equality, was denied as evenbeing a problem by the Muslims. In-stead, they minimized the issue to thepoint where it was just about gettingconcessions or burka-wearing women.Te third and final issue, dealing withthe threat rom radical Islam, enragedthe Muslims. Tey reused to see thedangers posed by extremists conduct-

ing terrorist acts within the nationand on the broader European conti-nent. Te German Islam Conerencecannot work. Germans are unwillingto accept Muslims i they wont con-orm to the German way o lie, andMuslims dont want to give up theirreligion in exchange or living in Ger-many. Tat is why Germany and Islamwill continue to clash. Right now, thatclash is domestic. Yet prophecy revealsthat very soon the clash will take on a

much broader application.

n Support for Syrian rebels revealsnew allianceAs early as , Mr. Flurry pointedto an obscure prophecy in Psalm that lists a group o Arab nations thatwill ally with Germany. Te modernidentity o those nations is urkey,Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and Leba-non. Elsewhere he included the Gulstates in this list. Te rumpetusesworld events and history as well as

Bible prophecy to orecast the uture.But back in , outside o the Bible,there was no reason to expect such analliance. No one else predicted it. Butnow you can read about that alliancein your newspaper. Last week, theFinancial imespublished the resultso an in-depth investigation into thosesupporting Syrias rebels. Heres whatit concluded: Te Wests reluctance tointervene more orceully in Syria hasall but lef Bashar Assads opponents

reliant or support on Qatar, SaudiArabia and urkey, though since latelast year,the United Arab Emirates and

Jordanhave joined the rebels backersas junior partners (emphasis added).Tere it isthe Arabic part o thePsalm alliance. Other sources alsopoint to organizations in Lebanon

as a key supporter o the opposition.What about Germany? Has it joinedits Psalm allies in supplying arms tothe rebels? Its possible. It is certainlyarming those who are arming the reb-els. Te Bible has once again provenitsel uncannily accurate in orecast-ing world events. For more o what itorecasts or the Middle East, read ourree booklet Te King of the South.

n Iran sidesteps sanctions withsmuggling and drug trafficking

As the United States and Europeattempt to cripple Iran with moresanctions, Iran is recouping its lossesthrough the booming drug traffick-ing and smuggling trades. Both in-dustries have been thriving over thepast year. Iran borders Aghanistanand Pakistan, both o which exportopium to Iran. With one o thehighest opium addiction rates in theworld, Iran takes in tons o thecrop each year. Its ideal geographical

position along the drug route romAghanistan to Europe, acilitatesIrans trafficking o a urther ,tons o opium through the Caucasusand into Europe. Over the last ewyears, Irans seizures o high-puritycrystalline methamphetamines havesoared. When the narcotics make itout o Iran, however, they providethe sanction-shackled Iranians witha lucrative income that the U.S. cantregulate. Te Iranian economy is alsoreceiving a boost by smuggling goods.

Every day, to million l iters (ap-proximately . million gallons) ogasoline and diesel are smuggled outo Iran illegally. Te Wests sanct ionson Iran are not having the desiredeffect. With illegal avenues o in-come available, Iran wil l continue topursue nuclear weapons. Read editorin chie Gerald Flurrys article titled

n Iran chairs the UN conference ondisarmamentBeginning on May and lastinguntil June , Iran will chair the UNconerence on disarmament. Yes,the UNs most important orum ondisarmament will be led by one o theworlds greatest nuclear threats. Te

ridiculous situation shows the ineffec-tiveness o the United Nations in pre-

venting the spread o nuclear arma-ments. Iran will take the seat at a timewhen the U.S. is accusing the Persian

nation o stalling talks designed tohalt its aggressive nuclear program.While Iran claims it is willing to talk,there is little evidence it will considergiving up its nuclear ambitions. TeUN was established to bring peaceand stability to the Earth. When a

violent nation such as Iran is allowed

to lead a conerence on disarmament,it is a clear indication that the UN isailing in its objectives. Herbert W.Armstrong was in attendance whenthe UN was established. Even then,

he prophesied o the organizationsultimate demise. I see the cloudso World War gathering at thisconerence. I do not see peace be-ing germinated here, but the seeds othe next war! Te United Nationsconerence is producing nothing butstrie and bickering, and is destined

rom its inception to end in total ail-ure, Mr. Armstrong said. Te dangero Irans nuclear ambitions cannot beoverstated, nor the UNs inability tochange the situation.

EUROPE

D term as Germanysdeense minister, Karl-Teodor zuGuttenberg introduced the concept oradical change o Germanys militaryorce. Most controversial o all was hisdoing away with conscriptionthetraditional way o providing Germanywith a deensive army since rearma-ment under the Western Allies ap-proval ollowing World War and its replacement by anentirely proessional outfit o volunteer soldiery.

Te idea met with a lot o criticism during Guttenbergsterm in office. Yet now it is being embraced, along withother Guttenberg initiatives, asbinding ederal government policy.

Recently a rash o reports com-missioned by the German govern-ment and the European Unionhave been publicized, all gearedtoward recommendations o lean-er, meaner, better coordinated andconsolidated European militaryorces and deense industries.

oday, the combined military

orces o EU nations make theEuropean Union as an entity thesecond-greatest military power on Earth. It goes withoutsaying that the strongest military power today within theEU is Germany. Tus it is axiomatic that any strength oleadership in a consolidated EU military will be Germanic.

But now, with U.S. deense ocusing away rom Europeand its periphery to concentrate on the Far East, Germany,ollowed by the EU, is picking up the ball or deense out-side the European continental perimeter and increasinglyocusing on the nations to its south and east.

Te time o planning, guidelines and draf projects isover, declares the most recent report on the Bundeswehr.Te time has come to change the German military, thereport said (Deutsche Welle, May ).

DW urther states that Te reorm o the Germanmilitary is the most radical overhaul o the Bundeswehrin its history. A new field will be a division or strategicintelligence () to launch attacks via the Internet. TeBundeswehr would thus be able to join the cyberwar withcomputer worms and viruses.

Te recommended new orce structure or the

Bundeswehr is or troops ready or rapid intervention mis-sions led by or the EU and or highly proessionalunits able to be launched at shortnotice as part o EU expeditionaryorces (ibid).

Tese recommendations dove-tail neatly with similar recom-mendations made in the recentlyreleased report or overhaul o allEU military orces put orward bythe European Institute or Secu-rity Studies, commissioned bythe chairman o the EU Military

Committee.Tose opposing the mootedradical changes in Germanys deense posture claim thatthe overhaul o the troops as they see it [is] a move awayrom a deensive to an intervention army (ibid).

Tey are right.We have waited or the past years, since German re-

unification, or the wol to bare its teeth. Now the wraps areoff, and the true nature o German militarism is speedilyarising or a third time in a century.

Is Pope Francis anExorcist?

T has bubbled up eversince Francis laid his hands on thehead o a young man in a wheelchairafer celebrating Sunday Mass in St.Peters Square. Te young man heaveddeeply a hal-dozen times, shook, thenslumped in his wheelchair as Francisprayed over him.

Te television station o the Italianbishops conerence reported Mondaythat it had surveyed exorcists, whoagreed there was no doubt that

Francis either perormed an exorcismor a prayer to ree the man rom thedevil.

Te Vatican was more cautious. Ina statement uesday, it said Francis

didnt intend to perorm any exor-cism. But as he ofen does or the sickor suffering, he simply intended topray or someone who was sufferingwho was presented to him.

Fueling the speculation is Fran-ciss obsession with Satan, a requent

T ago, I was contacted by an editor o Ro-wohlt, one o the biggest book publishers in Germany.She said she loved my articles in the Zeit,the prestigiousGerman newspaper Ive been writing or, and would like

me to come to Germany or a ew months, interviewpeople and write about them in the same style you writeor the Zeit.

I interviewed people rom all walks o lie. Hardly a day passed by without at least one interviewee

talking to me about the rich Jews, the shrewd Jews, theIsraelis who eat Palestinians or breakast on a daily basis,the manipulating Jew, or anything else Jew.

Germany, I sadly ound out, was obsessed with Jews.Even those who claimed to like Jews had very strangethoughts about them. Some told me that all Jews knew eachother, others said that all Jews helped each other, and stillothers claimed that all Jews were very good with money.

Te people thus talked and I wrote down what they said,word or word. I submitted the book, a testimonial to therampant anti-Semitism in todays Germany, to my editor.

[]he head o the publishing company, who comes oGermanys top amilies, went into a rage. He told me that Icouldnt write and that the book needed serious editing.

I there was a line in the book about people not likingJews, he demanded that I change the word to Israel.

A chapter about a club that preached the killing o allliving Jews had to be erased, he ordered. I somebody told

me in an interview that the Jews were the real Nazis, theirwords had to be changed or cut.

Again and again, history teaches us where this senselesshate will lead.

Beore World War , just as now, Germany was very ad-vanced or its time, proudly holding one o the best humanrights records. But then as now, the people had hate insidetheir hearts at the same time their mouths were utteringthe loveliest words o reedom.

It was Adol Hitler who knew to their deeper thoughtsand he turned them into the most sadistic known to hu-manity.

I today Germany doesnt wake up to its inner hate, a

more sophisticated Adol will appear and nobody will bepowerul enough to stop him.

It is time to tell Germany, in the clearest o words:People who suffer rom cancer cant afford to ignore it. Ger-many must wake up to its cancer, beore it will be atallyconsumed by it.

America No LongerLeads in NuclearTechnologyREAL CLEAR POLITICS | May 22

I recent announcement, West-inghouse Nuclear and the ChinasState Nuclear Power echnology Corp.declared a joint venture to developsmall modular reactorssubmarine-size nuclear boilers that many people

believe are the uture o nucleartechnology.It is not the first time Westing-

house and China have agreed to worktogether. Te Chinese are putting thefinishing touches on the worlds firstWestinghouse AP, a passivedesign that incorporates many o thesaety lessons learned at Chernobyland Tree Mile Island. Te first unitis just coming on line at Sanmen withanother scheduled later this year andtwo more headed or completion in

Haiyang by . Afer five yearsworking on these projects together,the two partners are preparing to mar-ket Chinas own version o the APto the rest o the world.

Other American technology is alsopassing into oreign hands. In ,Microsof magnate Bill Gates becameconcerned about Americas energyuture and delegated his technicalgenius, Nathan Myhrvold, to headIntellectual Ventures, a start-up that

would try to develop new means oproducing power. Afer studying thefield, Myhrvold decided on the travel-ing wave reactor, a uturistic designin which the nuclear uel burns downlike a long cigar or years, consum-ing its own waste in the process andrequiring no reueling. Afer standingor more than a year in the lobby othe U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commis-sion, the -story headquarters o theAmerican nuclear industry in Rock-

ville, Maryland, Gates and Myhrvoldrealized that the chances o develop-ing a new nuclear technology in theUnited States are virtually nil. So theytook their design to China. In ,Gates signed an agreement to developthe traveling wave with the ChinaNational Nuclear Corp.

Te message is clear. Te torch onuclear technology in passing to therest o the world. Te U.S. may stillhold on to some vestiges o leader-shipenough, or example, to try to

tell the Koreans what they can andcant do with their spent uel. Butthe cutting edge has moved abroad,to France, Japan, China, Russia andKorea.

Government MakesCriminals of Reporters

WASHINGTON POST | May 21

T various reasons youmight not care about the Obama

administrations spying on journalistJames Rosen and labeling him a co-conspirator and/or aider and abettorin an espionage case.

But heres why you should careand why this case, along with theadministrations broad snooping intoAssociated Press phone records, ismore serious than the other supposed

Obama administration scandalsregarding Benghazi and the InternalRevenue Service. Te Rosen affair isas flagrant an assault on civil libertiesas anything done by George W. Bushsadministration, and it uses technol-ogy to silence critics in a way RichardNixon could only have dreamed o.

o treat a reporter as a criminal ordoing his jobseeking out inorma-tion the government doesnt wantmade publicdeprives Americans

O thing the British liberal class is certainthehacking to death o a soldier in a Woolwich streetyesterday had absolutely nothing to do with religion. Temurderers screamed Allahu akhbar as they tried to

decapitate the soldier (a barbaric hallmark o Islamic ter-ror), announced proudly that We swear by almighty Allahwe will never stop fighting you and quoted the Koran asreligious justification.

But the atrocity, we have been repeatedly told, had noth-ing to do with religion.

Ever since /, the UK and U.S. political and mediaestablishment, along with much i not most o the Britishsecurity service and increasingly the U.S. security estab-lishment, has repeated this mantra. Killing in the name oIslam is a warped hijacking o the religion, a perversion othe religion, the very antithesis o the religion.

But based on the precepts o the religion itsel? [N]o.

For more than two decades, the British political andsecurity establishment has gone to extreme lengths to denythe true religious nature o the Islamic jihad, or holy war,against the ree world and backsliding Muslims (whoare the jihads most numerous victims). Tere are severalreasons or this state o denial, o which in my view the keyis that to the official mind a holy war is such a earsomeprospectits uncontrollable, can last or decades, is drivenby wholly irrational motives immune to negotiation and ischaracterized by unmitigated savagerythey cannot admitthat this is what it actually is.

So instead they come up with absurd statements like the

one made to me some years ago by a very senior securityofficial, who said this couldnt be an Islamic religious war

because to say it was would demonize all Muslims. Te act that many Muslims not only do not support

the jihad but are being themselves persecuted by it doesnot make it any less o a holy war against their perceived

backsliding or heresy.Nor can anyone plausibly claim that the jihad is based

on a warped or perverted orm o Islam and is there-ore not actually Islam at all. It is clearly an interpretationo Islam which, whatever you may think o it, is groundedin the religion.

One o most difficult things to get across in this increas-ingly desperate argument is that there is within the Islamicworld a continuum o aggressive or unacceptable viewswhich emanate rom the religiona continuum which ex-tends rom prejudice and bigotry at one end to terrorism atthe otherthat makes atrocities such as the one in Wool-wich yesterday all but inevitable. While most at the merely

bigoted end will neither support nor take part in terrorism,the noxious views they accept and promulgate create thelethal sea in which terrorism swims.

Te result o the reusal to acknowledge this religiouscontinuum is to undermine those Muslims who do mostearnestly want to reorm their religion. While the Britishand American victims o the jihad obdurately reuse toidentiy it as a religious issue, reormist Muslims haventgot a leg to stand on in trying to make the case to their owncommunity.

Te prime minister has spoken o the Woolwich killersbetraying Islam. But in reusing to acknowledge the true

religious nature o such terrorism, it is surely he who isbetraying reormist Muslims everywhere.

not nearly as seriously as they oughtto have been. In act, a good numbero people, were they to readAmericaUnder Attackeven as recently as April,might have elt Mr. Flurrys evaluationswere over the top and exaggerated.

Yet today,just a few weeks later,

many Americanssome even on the leffind themselvescoming to the same conclusions!

SinceAmerica Under Attackwas released, weve seen onescandal on top o another engul Washington and the WhiteHouse. hese arent minor scandals either. And they arentlow level. Each scandal is taking place within the ederalgovernment. Each involves high-level igures, congressmen,senators, White House employees, cabinet leadersmost ofwhom were appointed by the presidentcommitting despi-cable acts, acts o outright deception and lyingacts thatdirectly impact the well-being o America and its citizens.

And, perhaps most significantly, each scandal directlyincriminates President Obama.

Phonetapping the PressWe recently learned about the U.S. Justice Departmentheaded by Eric Holder, an Obama appointeesecretlyobtaining telephone records o Associated Press reportersand editors. According to AP attorneys, the Justice Depart-ment seized records rom about a year ago or more than telephone lines used by the news organization. TeJustice Department was interested in records o outgoingcalls rom the work and personal telephones o individualreporters, as well as calls rom AP offices in New York,Washington and Hartord. More than journalists work

in the offices the Justice Department targeted.Te White House and Mr. Obama have tried to dis-tance themselves rom the Justice Department. Te act is,besides Eric Holder having been appointed by Mr. Obama,the Justice Department has or our years been a key ap-pendage o the White House

Unleashing the IRSTen theres the Internal Revenue Service scandal,which grows with each passing day, and which PeggyNoonan, George Will, and others, have stated could be assignificant as Watergate.

Te recently admitted that it targeted conservative

groups during the 2012 election season. Lois Lerner, director o Exempt Organizations, admitted to lagginggroups that used the name tea party or patriot or reviewand had their tax returns examined. Groups that advocatededucation about the U.S. Constitution were also lagged.

Lerner claimed that this was not out o any politicalbias. Tats poppycock. As the Wall Street Journalwrote:I there was no political bias, why were only conservativegroups targeted? heJournalgoes on to explain thesigniicance o the s actions: Its important to under-stand that the timing o these requests, in the middle o the campaign,

(emphasis added).In other words, the immoral, lawless actions o

the may have assisted the re-election o Barack Obama!

BenghaziBenghazi is not a new story. What is new, however, is thelevel o attention finally being given to the actions o theWhite House that awul night. Details have now emerged

showing that leaders at the very top o the U.S. governmentnot only reused to dispatch the military to help rescueconsulate employees during the terrorist attack, but thatthey knowingly, carefully orchestrated a cover-up.

Immediately afer the September attack last year, UNAmbassador Susan Rice described what happened using a seto talking points put together by the intelligence community.At the time, Jay Carney, the presidents spokesman, assuredus that only a single term in the talking points had been ed-ited by the White House beore they were used by Rice. Wenow know that Mr. Carney was telling a bald-aced lie.

Te State Department heavily edited and even censoredthe talking pointsor at least heavily leaned on the intel-

ligence community to do so. Statements about links to alQaeda were cut out, as were reerences to the givingadvanced warning o the attack. he attack on the embassybecame a demonstration. Americas leaders said theattack was sparked by a demonstration about a Youube

video, even though there was no demonstration.As the Weekly Standardreported, in this latest disclo-

sure [F O - (emphasis added).

ogether, these three scandals seem to be changing the

perception o Mr. Obama and his administration, even in themainstream media and among some o his liberal supporters.Afer our years o being blindly loved and embraced, andbeing given a ree pass on its many indiscretions and flaws,the Obama administration appears to be under real pressure.More and more people are coming to see the lies and deceit.

Richard A. Epstein wrote in Foreign Policy:Te verypresident who has pledged himsel to be the most openand transparent administration ever is now perceived onall sides o the political spectrum as a secretive soul whoskulks about in the shadows, so sure o his own moralrectitude that he thinks that it is alright to ignore the pro-cedural saeguards that the U.S. Constitution wisely puts in

the path o less wise and omniscient presidents.Again, its the timing o these scandals that is especiallyremarkable. Eight weeks ago, Gerald Flurryreleased a bookexplaining that Americas government is run by immoral,dishonest igures who are pursuing policies and actionsdesigned to ruin America. Since then, not one, or two, have broken that vindicateevery detail o his message. Pretty extraordinary, isnt it?

It makes me want to readAmerica Under Attackagain.Editors note:Tis article was written prior to scandal

surrounding the U.S. Justice Departments seemingly un-lawul persecution o Fox reporter James Rosen.
