Mohammed Tawfeeq, Yousif Basil and Ashley Fantz—Terrifying images appear to be ISIS carrying out executions in Iraq:

The militant group that has been ruthlessly fighting to take control of Iraq has apparently posted chilling photos on jihadi Internet forums seeming to show the executions of Iraqi security forces.

CNN cannot independently confirm the authenticity of the images purportedly posted by ISIS, or the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. CNN is examining the terrain in the images, some of the signage on buildings in several of the pictures and the uniforms of the apparent victims. Those details suggest the photos are real and were taken in Iraq.

A caption on some of the images: “apostates heading to their hole of doom.”

Jason Howerton: Six Reasons Why the IRS’ Claim That It ‘Lost’ Two Years of Lois Lerner’s Emails Is ‘Simply Not Feasible’— 1. I believe the government uses Microsoft Exchange for their email servers. They have built-in exchange mail database redundancy. So, unless they did not follow Microsofts recommendations they are telling a falsehood. You can see by the diagram below that if you have three servers in a DAG you have three copies of the database. 2. Every IT organization that I know of has hotswappable disk drives. Every server built since 2000 has them. Meaning that if a single disk goes bad it’s easy to replace.

Paul Rogers: 95% of Child Rape and Molestation Convictions in the UK Were Committed by Muslims— These are the results of an investigation into “Child Grooming” (Child Rape and Molestation) in the UK. 17 Cases were investigated between the years of: November 1997 –  July 2013. These results were provided by Andrew Norfolk who was awarded the Orwell Prize for Journalism for his reporting on grooming gangs. He was the only journalist who provided expert testimony to the House of Commons select committee, in their (2012-2013) investigation into the grooming gangs. In organised gangs, men groomed girls they met on the street. Most of the offenders were of Pakistani origin and most of the victims were white.

Colin Freeman: Obama ponders as Iran sends troops to Iraq— Barack Obama was under mounting pressure to send military help to Iraq as Iranian forces were reported to have joined Baghdad’s government to quell an al-Qaeda-inspired uprising. A defensive president, accused by Republicans of squandering the security gains won in Iraq by US forces, insisted that he was looking at “all the options” to prevent the country unravelling. But even as he spoke, Iran seemed poised to steal the initiative by sending troops to fight what its president, Hassan Rouhani, described as the “terrorist group that is acting savagely” in Iraq.

Shabnam Assadollahi: Iran: Executions and an Amputation— On February 13, two prisoners were publicly hanged in Kouzehgari Square, in the Iranian city of Shiraz, and in the same spot on February 19, another prisoner was also publicly hanged. The number of executions in Iran in 2014, up to June 5, now totals 325; the Iranian government has admitted to only 122, according to the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center’s Chart of Executions by the Islamic Republic of Iran – 2014. These numbers do not include the Iranian regime’s “silent executions” — depriving prisoners who were tortured of medical care, and then claiming they died in prison of “natural causes.” The Mehr News Agency, an official mouthpiece of the Iranian regime, also reported that a prisoner was condemned to the sharia law punishment of “cutting off one hand and one foot.”

Dennis Ross: Regional Implications of a Nuclear Deal with Iran—Amb. Dennis Ross told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on June 12, 2014: America’s readiness to negotiate a deal with the Islamic Republic on its nuclear program is a source of deep concern among our traditional friends in the Middle East. For the Arabs, the fear is that the deal with come at their expense, with the United States increasingly seeing Iran as a partner. For the Israelis, the worry is that we will conclude a deal that leaves the Iranians as a threshold nuclear state – capable of breaking out to nuclear weapons at a time when we might be distracted by another international crisis. I still believe the prospects of an agreement are probably less than the 50% figure President Obama cited late last year. Basic conceptual gaps remain, with the Iranians still believing that their limited offers of transparency should be sufficient to satisfy our concerns about the peaceful character of their nuclear program.

Michael Young: Dysfunction of Arab States Puts Stress on Colonial Borders—In the past week, two prominent Arab figures expressed doubt that Syria would remain as it was, with its war into its fourth year. Lebanese politician Walid Jumblatt told AP: “We are still at the beginning of the war in Syria. In the long term, the map of the Middle East will be redrawn.” Meanwhile, the former UN envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, declared to Der Spiegel that Syria would “become another Somalia.” President Assad’s staunchest ally, Iran, appears to have the following medium-term agenda: to consolidate the Syrian regime’s hold over “vital Syria” – Damascus, the border with Lebanon, the Syrian coast, and communication lines in between, through the city and province of Homs. Unable to impose its allies’ control over large swathes of Sunni-dominated areas in Syria and Iraq, a hegemonic Tehran may prefer fragmentation, allowing it to dominate digestible components of disintegrating Arab states.

Rami G. Khouri: Blame the State for Sham Arab Democracy—The recent string of “elections” across the Arab world in Algeria, Egypt, Syria, and Iraq raises profound questions about that world’s apparent difficulty in adopting institutions and practices of liberal pluralistic democracies. The Egyptian, Syrian and Algerian cases repeat the modern Arab tradition of family-run security states and dictatorships that put on a show of voting to secure approval ratings of 87 or 93 or 97%, complete with adoring crowds of supporters of the “Great Leader.” Nowhere in the normal world do elections result in victories of such magnitude as routinely occur in Arab “elections.” Yet we have had glimpses of democratic transitions that include more credible elements, such as the Tunisian elections in recent years, or the 2012 Egyptian presidential election that saw one candidate win by just a few percentage points. We also see credible elections taking place all over the region in professional associations or student groups. So the idea that Arabs cannot behave democratically is nonsense.

Colin Rubenstein: Pejorative Words Will Not Give Peace a Chance— Federal Attorney-General Senator George Brandis has been attacked from various quarters – including by Joseph Wakim in these pages (”“An occupied land suffers from preoccupied minds””, Times2, June 9, p5) – for announcing that the Australian government will not refer to east Jerusalem as “occupied”. Yet what has been portrayed by detractors as a “radical” step, and as taking sides in the conflict is actually the opposite. The use of a pejorative term such as “”occupied”” prejudges the issues in dispute and amounts to effectively taking the Palestinian side. By contrast, adopting more neutral terminology – such as calling the area “disputed” – is a more constructive approach to the situation. It does not mean support for Israeli annexation of the area or unrestrained settlement growth. It just means proper acknowledgement that the issues need to be genuinely negotiated if a two-state resolution is to be achieved. East Jerusalem includes the old city of Jerusalem, with its ancient Jewish quarter and the holiest site in Judaism, the Western Wall. Israel captured it in its defensive 1967 Six Day War, from Jordan, who had occupied it since 1948. Prior to that, there had been a substantial Jewish population there for thousands of years, but Jordanians had ethnically cleansed it of its entire Jewish population, destroyed all of the dozens of synagogues, and closed the holy places to all Jewish worshippers in violation of treaty commitments. By contrast, since Israel recaptured the area, people of all religions have had access to and control over their holy sites.

Perry Chiaramonte: Pro-Palestinian Students Bring Hate, Intimidation to Campus—Students for Justice in Palestine have become the bullies of the quad at college campuses around the nation, shouting down speakers, terrorizing Jewish students and intimidating those who disagree with them. Individual members have been accused of assaulting students, vandalizing property and hurling anti-Semitic slurs at Jewish students, all in the name of their cause. Boston’s Northeastern University suspended the group in March after repeated calls for the destruction of Israel and a 2011 disruption at a Holocaust Awareness Week event.

Lela Gilbert: Analysis: Will Egypt’s new President Rescue the Coptic Girls?— President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has been officially inaugurated as Egypt’s president, and there are high hopes that he will bring stability to his turbulent nation and, perhaps, to the region. Israel watches cautiously but with some optimism that he will continue to rein in the Muslim Brotherhood in particular and Islamist terrorists in general. His determination to do so can only be good news for the Jewish State, especially considering the close proximity of the Sinai and its active terror cells. Sisi’s popularity is enormous. He won the election by a landslide. But the task before him is formidable. Egypt has been exhausted by three years of upheaval following the demise of strongman Hosni Mubarek and the subsequent ill-starred regime of Mohamed Morsi and his notorious Muslim Brotherhood.

SnyderTalk Comment: Wait until the truth about his place of birth and his so-called “religion” are confirmed.  This is the bottom line: Barack Obama is a liar to the core, and eventually the truth will get out.  When it does, will his supporters be ashamed?  They may be ashamed of him, but I doubt they will be ashamed of themselves.  They should be.

Tony Blair: Iraq crisis a result of failure to intervene in Syria

SnyderTalk Comment: The failure to intervene in Syria is only part of the problem, albeit an important part.  It sent a strong message that the U.S. isn’t in the game, but our unwillingness to intervene in Syria is just one example of our failure to lead.  The Obama administration’s ineptness has opened the door for Islamists to operate with impunity in the Middle East and in the world at large.

Iran’s leaders have been pointing out and capitalizing on U.S. weakness for several years, and they’ve used our lack of resolve to expand their nuclear capabilities at an alarming pace.  They’ve also used it to strengthen their hegemony in the Middle East.  When Iran sent troops to Iraq while President Obama led from behind (a.k.a., he didn’t lead at all), they positioned themselves to take over Iraq for all practical purposes.

None of this bodes well for the U.S., and you need to keep in mind that it all began with President Obama’s apology tour.  Our disengagement since then has been breathtaking.  We have abandoned our closest allies in the region, and the results have been catastrophic and predictable—failure in Egypt, Tunisia, Jordan, Libya, Israel, AND IRAQ to name just a few.  It’s the dreaded Domino Theory played out in real time right in front of our eyes.

In global politics, vacuums don’t last long, and we have left vacuums all over the world—not just in the Middle East.  Regaining the trust of our allies and putting an end to the growing Islamist insurgency all across the globe may be impossible at this point without an all-out war of a global nature.  That’s what Obama hath wrought.

4--Scripture of the Day Yahweh

Genesis 10: 6-14

6 The sons of Ham were Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan. 7 The sons of Cush were Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan. 8 Now Cush became the father of Nimrod; he became a mighty one on the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Yahweh.” 10vThe beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 From that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh and Rehoboth-Ir and Calah, 12vand Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city. 13vMizraim became the father of Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim 14 and Pathrusim and Casluhim (from which came the Philistines) and Caphtorim.

14--Blessings from Revelation 2

Blessings in the Book of Revelation is a book that you need to read, especially now.  There are blessings throughout the Scriptures but Revelation is the only book in the Bible actually containing a specific blessing for reading it. It’s repeated twice, once at the beginning and again at the end. This is the reason that I believe Revelation should be the first step toward studying biblical prophecy. Though not easy to do, Revelation can be broken down and understood by anyone, not just the academic elite. So, Revelation’s blessings are for everyone.  Click here to order the eBook.  Click here to order the paperback.
