O-Kay ladies and gentlemen. Grab a nice warm beverage sit down in a quite place and take the 15 minutes or so and read Matthew Bracken's essay - It is brilliant!

A few things before I share the link with you.

1) After you read Bracken's essay, read about the Trojan Horse. I first thought this is what was happening in Europe
    but no. I think Bracken hits the nail squarely on the head, e.g. Tet Offensive.
2) I have been preaching for awhile now that we have three things to fear. They are: Economic Collapse, ISIS and
    individual country domestic terrorism. In most cases any country can handle one of these crisis's but two or
    even three would be a world wide calamity. 

Now for you folks who have poor bandwidth I will copy & paste the opening paragraph from each section of Bracken's essay. For you folks who have bandwidth the C&P is to wet your curiosity.   ;)

Tet, Take Two:
Islam’s 2016 European Offensive

By Matthew Bracken, November 2015

More than a decade ago I wrote my first novel, Enemies Foreign and Domestic. Part of my motivation was to establish my bona fides at forecasting social, political and military trends. I didn’t like the direction America was heading, and I wanted to warn as many readers as possible about some of the dangers I saw coming. At the end of 2015, I hope that my past success at prognostication will encourage people to pay heed to this essay.

As we roll into the New Year, we are witnessing the prelude to the culmination of a titanic struggle between three great actors. Three great social forces are now set in motion for a 2016 showdown and collision that will, in historical terms, be on par with the First and Second World Wars.

Two of these great social forces are currently allied in a de facto coalition against the third. They have forged an unwritten agreement to jointly murder the weakest of the three forces while it is in their combined power to do so. One of these two social forces would be content to share totalitarian control over large swaths of the globe with the other remaining social force. One of these social forces will never be satisfied until it achieves complete domination of the entire planet. So what are these three great social forces? They are Islam, international socialism, and nationalism.

Allow me to explain the salient aspects of each, and how they relate to the coming 2016 cataclysm.

1. Islam

Islam is similar to a self-replicating supercomputer virus. It is a hydra-headed monster, designed by its creators to be an unstoppable formula for global conquest. It’s almost impossible to eradicate, because it has no central brain or control center. Islam is like a starfish: when you cut off a limb, another grows to replace it. The names of the Muslim leaders, and the names of their Islamic groups, are transitory and ultimately unimportant. Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda are succeeded by Al-Baghdadi and the Islamic State, but they will all pass from the scene and be replaced by others. While Muslim leaders and regimes have come and gone, Islam itself has remained steadfastly at war with the non-Muslim world for 1,400 years.

2. International Socialism

The second great actor or social force is international socialism. It can also be aptly described under the rubrics of leftism, statism, cultural Marxism and communism. These all inhabit the international socialist spectrum. I trace these cultural Marxists at least back to the Jacobins of the 18th Century, a clique of secular humanists who were early globalists aligned with Freemasonry.

3. Nationalism

Nationalists probably comprise most of the population of the non-Islamic world, but there is no way to know their number with any certainty. Opinion polls are so easily rigged that most of them are useless at best, and they primarily constitute false propaganda and dezinformatsiya on behalf of their sponsors.

4. World War Three

Going into 2016, I believe that Europe is primed to become the central theater of a third world war. Like an overstrained zipper suddenly failing and bursting open from end to end, the European conflagration could well reignite simmering conflicts from the Ukraine to the Persian Gulf, due to interlocking alliances (NATO, including Turkey, vs. Russia), and the Sunni-Shia divide (Iran vs. Saudi Arabia, which has been imported into Europe).

5. The Tet Offensive of 1968

As we roll into 2016, I am reminded of the Vietnam War’s Tet Offensive. In January of 1968, before the Tet Lunar New Year celebrations, thousands of Viet Cong fighters were infiltrated into Saigon and other South Vietnamese cities. Their coordinated mass attacks on January 30 came nearly by complete surprise, constituting America’s worst intelligence-gathering failure between 1950 in Korea and 2001 in New York. The experts had all agreed that the VC were too weakened and divided to accomplish mass attacks on a national scale, yet more than 80,000 irregular Communist infiltrators simultaneously struck in more than one hundred towns and cities. The Communists used a declared truce period to launch their attacks, while the American and South Vietnamese forces were on holiday leave. Bitter urban fighting in Hue, Vietnam’s third largest city, lasted for a month. Before they were defeated in Hue, the Communists executed thousands of civilian prisoners, dumping them into mass graves with their hands wired behind their backs.

6. Tet, Take Two

Which brings me to the main thrust of this essay. I believe that Europe is being prepared for a Muslim-jihad version of the 1968 Tet Offensive in Vietnam. A vast and concerted act of treason has been taking place across Europe since the creation of the European Union. Under the Schengen Agreement, Brussels promised to guard the outer frontiers of the EU, while abolishing internal border controls. The Eurocrat elites broke the first promise but kept the second, thus opening a wide path for the onrushing Muslim hijra immigration invasion.

7. A Score of Beslans

The hard core of the battle-hardened jihadists now fanning out across Europe understands the tried-and-true process of igniting a civil war through terror. They will calculate that the European military and police cannot and will not sustain the battle against an unceasing campaign of terrorism. Brussels cannot remain on virtual lockdown forever without its economy being wrecked. What will happen when a Paris-type attack, or worse, is a daily event in a dozen European cities?

8. Hama Rules

I predict that the unfolding European Civil War (after the initial Tet 2016 phase) will comprise a steady escalation from Paris-style rifle attacks and suicide bombers, to snipers, to IEDs, to car and truck bombs. This is why I mentioned the possibility of eventually reducing the Sharia-zone ghettos to ruins by air and artillery bombardment. This will indeed happen, after the car bombs begin to explode in European cities. At that point, an urban civil war loses any vestige of civilized norms. Fortified ghetto bastions that provide sanctuary to Muslim jihad terrorists will be destroyed if the Islamic conquest is to be quelled.

9. The End Game

If the traitor elites can imagine sufficiently far into the future, then they must surely see international socialism lining up next for its climactic struggle against Islam, which shall be fought atop the still-warm corpse of European nationalism. Will these traitor-elite international socialists be able to hold the line against the ultimate victory of Islamic supremacism in Europe, or anywhere? Let us compare their assets and armaments.

10. Alternative Endings

But perhaps the conflict between the three major forces will turn out differently. Perhaps, after the Islamic Tet Offensive of 2016 is turned back, European nationalism will experience a miraculous resurgence, following a rejection of the international socialism which dragged the EU nations toward disaster. Sometimes invading forces badly miscalculate their chances and underestimate the resolve of their enemies, and after sweeping to early success, they are rolled far back from their high-water marks. Napoleon and Hitler in Russia, and the Greek experience in Anatolian Turkey from 1919 to 1922 come readily to mind.

Just remember: never, ever give up your guns.

You’re going to need them.

Looking forward to your comments folks.

VERY lengthy, thought-provoking piece. Not sure I buy into Bracken's certainty, but I definitely think this event is possible.

John

Thanks for posting that.  I tend to like and agree with most of Matt's conclusion, though as rah pointed out more as a strong possibility and not as much as a certainty.  I haven't gotten a chance to do a full read of the essay yet.  The one aspect that doesn't make it into the pasted section is how all of what is happening in Europe relates to or rather effects what happens here in  North America.  Many of the salient points of the essay have the potential to happen similarly here in the US, in addition to the secondary and tertiary effects of conflict in Europe.

The only line item I would add to Nemo's post is...."Therefore I have a gun, and train to be able to effectively use it.

Thanks JM.
A lot of that fits together when you look at some of the things that were found after the Paris shootings; 200+ french police uniforms, arms caches and similar items in Belgium were found.
When will it happen here?
Oh, and JM, thanks for a fitful nights sleep.

DM  :lmfao:

A couple J-Mac thoughts. ...
1) EU Type ISIS attacks on soft targets are coming to your neighborhood. It doesn't matter if you are in Canada,
    UK, South Africa or Australia. 
2) The one thing that ISIS is worried about is the random American that is CCing. Thank you to the men &
    women of the forum who trains and then CC's every day.*

As a side note: I only C&P the first paragraph of each of the 10 sections of Bracken's essay to wet your appetite so you open up the whole essay and read it  ;) Bracken supports his first paragraph in each section. 

* Another JohnyMac story. MrsMac and I was invited to a grand opening by like minded friends, of their new church. I was told that it was A-OK to CC while in the church which I did. I saw the telltale signs of other church members CCing too. Trust me, those parishioners will not be victims whether they are in church, the grocery store or Christmas shopping.

Sounds like you have a new central rally type point you were not really anticipating.

About infiltration. Shooting Sports News has a cartoon about that but I can't get it to paste.

Shoot me a link JoJo.  I will see if I can figure out how to imgur it.

Anyone know how to take the post I put up and edit the pic to add in the thought by CJSO6.

I do not see it.  Go there, left click on it.  Should open a box that has a "save image as" or similar in it.  Click on that and it should save to your standard photo album.

Get it that far and it should be easy to get up here.
