The Long War

By Mordechai Ben-Menachem

Hassan-i Sabbah of Nizari Ismailis founded a cult that presented a major military challenge to Persian Seljuqs and Holy Land Christians in late 11th century.  These were the “Hashishim” (users of hashish); who assassinated political and religious enemies – mostly Muslims.  A member of the Hashishim stabbed Persia’s prominent wazir, Nizam al-Mulk, for funding Omar Khayyam.  The Hashishim were stridently against any form of progress, or anything or anyone different, with lethal zero tolerance.

In Middle Ages Europe, not a particularly saintly place, the Hashishim were known as a radical extremist cult.  The word assassin was linguistically derived from Hashishim and describes a professional killer.  Concurrently, blood libels accusing Jews of using Christian children’s blood in religious ceremonies were born in Norwich, England (1144) and then Gloucester (1164).  This filthy lie spread across Europe and is still promoted by many ignorant racists.  Hashishim killed persons.  Europeans kill populations.

Some say the worst Middle East crime is support for the Arab-Muslim majority at the expense of its minorities.  What few realize is that these ‘minorities’ are, in fact, the majority people, just not the majority of the money, because the imperialists control the oil.  The EU insists all ‘others’ must assimilate into the dominant (domineering) race, which is blatantly racist.  They think Assyrians vanished, have no idea who Circassians, Druze, Bahai, Yazidis or Ahmadis are, never heard of Arab Gypsies, think Zoroastrians are a circus.  Not really different from the blood libels, except now expanded beyond the Jewish canaries.  Erdogan’s recent threat to ethnically ‘re-cleanse’ Armenians doesn’t stir interest – while doing the same to Kurds; while doing the same to Cyprians.

Throughout the Middle East and Africa, Arabization (a euphemism for Arab Imperialism and Colonization) is based upon repression of non-Arabs and destruction of cultures, through insistence on racial unity.  Europe’s regional agenda is the racist Arab agenda.  ‘Arabism’ inevitably led to repression of ‘others;’ ethnic cleansing and genocide of the region’s native inhabitants by Arab Muslim conquerors.  The left shouts racism when Americans empower Kurds, or when Israeli soldiers stand watch over tiny strips of land where the region’s oldest, most frequently oppressed minority shelters.  The hypocrisy is heightened when combined with the fact that Israel is the only place Christians are allowed to live – and, in fact, are finally recognized as Aramians, and not Arabs.

Washington Post reported that Islamic State used chlorine gas on Iraqi security forces in Dhuluiya, 50 miles north of Baghdad; 11 Iraqi police officers were admitted to hospitals and diagnosed with chlorine gas poisoning.  According to Iraqi government sources, this was the third such attack in 2014.  Islamic State militants used chemical weapons against Shiites as well, causing 40 Shiite casualties.  Of course, US ‘Liberals’ have a major problem because these facts put the lie to all they said about Saddam’s lack of gas.

EU’s worst Middle East crime is craven love for tyrannical grand empires built on race and religion; over the national and political rights of the indigenous majorities.  According to misguided fools, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the cause of killing throughout former Iraq and Syria, the terrorist attacks in Canada, the shooting from Gaza, and your stubbed toe.  This is the senseless behavior of racist hypocrites who think that if they call you “racist” first then they proved all arguments.  Of course, everyone knows that the leader of the 11th Century assassins created his cult and perpetrated his crimes due to Jerusalem construction (hint: that was after the Crusaders had massively massacred all Jews in Jerusalem, burning them alive).

Whatever.  But Israelis are probably to blame.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
