This thread will have many folks simply mocking me for starting it.

Before supplying any information, let me say this....

1. In 1995 a religious group called Aum Shinrikyo attacked the Tokyo subway system with Sarin gas. Before using the gas, they spent much time trying to obtain a nuclear weapon to use on the subway. Remarkably, they got very very close to obtaining the nuclear device. No problem finding it; it was just that they could not come up with the price.

I read a great book on this group and this attack and it is very scary...very scary how close they got. The USSR had just collapsed and the nuclear weapons were out there for the right buyer. This is a link to that book..

The Cult At The End Of The World: Doomsday Cult From The Subways Of Tokyo T O The Nuclear Arsenals Of Russia By David Kaplan - Used Books - Hardcover - 1996 - from BookDepart and Biblio.com

2. The author of the article I am about to link to and paste is a man named Jürgen Todenhöfer, a German author. I link you to his wiki page..

Note he is not a fan of G Bush. And note he is the first journalist to gain access to ISIS from the west.

__________________________________________________ ______

I give this prelude because I know that the reaction on here to what I am going to post is usually the same thing. Crazy people, crazy writer. I admit it is not picked up by (to my knowledge) and main stream networks or media but I think it is something everyone should be aware of.

WHY ? This is real. This is possible and not as difficult as you think and I invite you to think of our immigration problem, I invite you to think of the possible pressure being put on ISIS by Putin, etc recently and invite you to think of the age in which we live where nuclear devices need not be large.

"Nuclear annihilation across the globe. This is what a German reporter who successfully embedded with the Islamic State says the terror group is planning. Jurgen Todenhofer released his findings in a book titled “Inside IS - Ten Days in the Islamic State,” reports the UK’s Daily Express.

“The terrorists plan on killing several hundred million people. The west is drastically underestimating the power of ISIS. ISIS intends to get its hands on nuclear weapons,” says Todenhofer, calling the group a “nuclear tsunami preparing the largest religious cleansing in history.”

L. TODD WOOD: ISIS planning 'nuclear tsunami' - Washington Times

In his book, he makes other comments.......

"“They now control land greater in size than the United Kingdom and are supported by an almost ecstatic enthusiasm the like of which I’ve never encountered before in a war zone. Every day hundreds of willing fighters from all over the world come. They are the most brutal and most dangerous enemy I have ever seen in my life. I don’t see anyone who has a real chance to stop them. Only Arabs can stop IS. I came back very pessimistic.”

You make now begin to call me crazy but if you think about it, it is a group that wants to cleanse and likes to kill and has no conscience. They need money.

The Iran deal is mentioned in the article relative to the possible nuclear build up in the region.

All I can say is:

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

I knew I would be mocked and you prove me right.

Will just have to make more posts on the fear of Fox news, or the Tea Party !!

Sorry, I have no way to delete this so enjoy your fun. There are other links from CNN, etc on the same subject but as you say, it is all paranoia and we should not be concerned at all.

You might want to rethink your quick and trendy tendency to mock ... especially information that makes you feel uncomfortable.

The doctrine we were taught on active duty regarding what constitutes a threat is capability plus intentions. ISIS has intentions off the charts ...ie they get extra points. The capability is literally unknown but should be of concern given Pakistan's capability and the new nuclear arms race that will be set off in the region that's to Obie's incompetence or treason .. hard to tell which.

In the meantime, no worries and go back to watching your daytime soaps.

You mock and jeer, but these are the words of the man you adore, who is never wrong...notice the adjectives used. This was from YESTERDAY at the United Nations.

""There is no room for accommodating an apocalyptic cult like ISIL," the president said, using an alternative name for the terrorist group."

Nobody is advocating paranoia, just awareness which to you is obviously a teenage type joke.

Those who mock should pay attention. It appears to be a concern world wide, maybe except here...

"Decline Of America: The Islamic State's rise and the resurgence of Russia prove you should always expect one thing from a U.S. global power vacuum: the unexpected. Is a nuclear-armed IS the next surprise?
In recent history, a lot of world events that weren't supposed to happen happened, the Soviet Union collapsing without the U.S. firing a shot being one of the most conspicuous.
Barack Obama was elected in 2008 promising to bring our forces home from Iraq. He took them out of Afghanistan too, the U.S. losing both wars. Whatever was supposed to happen next, it didn't include an unthinkable new Islamist entity emerging from the ruins, beheading innocent Americans and posting video of the atrocities.

In 2012, GOP nominee Mitt Romney warned of a resurgent Moscow and got ridiculed by Obama, who said, "You know, the Cold War's been over for 20 years."

This a comment referring to the German who wrote the book cited in the OP..

"In it, he warns that the free world "is drastically underestimating the power of ISIS," which "intends to get its hands on nuclear weapons," then undertake "the largest religious cleansing in history."

Years ago, all these would have seemed laughable predictions. But Obama's new world of American decline is full of such terrifying surprises. Who knows what the next ones will be.


In the last three years, we have seen gas used on children in the streets, bunker bombs used on people in their homes, beheadings, burnings.....prior, these were forbidden and taboo acts.

Now we accept and make fun of those who notice.

For those who may disagree or do not support what you are presenting they should not be arbitrarily categorized as mocking.....because that is not what was or is intended.

As for the commentary about the last three years brutality.....they still are forbidden and taboo. One has to recognize these practices are by a radical few even within the radicals. They do not set a new standard. They do show a brazen and emboldened demeanor that is inspired by their having no fear of reprisal from the USA anymore. They have laughed at Obama's speeches of a year ago claiming we shall go forth and decimate and then destroy ISIS and then did nothing. Now one year later they are twice as large, control a sizeable chunk of mid east real estate, continue to maim and kill and plunder and still no reaction from the USA. Yesterday they got confirmation from Obama during his speech onece again about what we won't stand for, but then qualifiesd how it would take a long time. They laughed and celebrated as they got another assurance of minimal involvement from Obama.

Obama's agenda and lack of response have turned out to be catalytic in the behalf of ISIS' agenda.

A true leader who said we will decimate and destroy over a year ago would have been able to show progress in STOPPING ISIS........not pussy footing around one year later with a larger, stronger, better organized ISIS and claiming it is going to take time. Typical BS from the amateur and Islamic supporter in the WH.

I think you are erroneously labeling those who disagree with you or do not support your premise......as usual.

You may be right....I only know that comments about "paranoia" in a lilting manner and reference to Dusty Springfield is not exactly a discussion of the issue presented.
