I found a gem today. Time Magazine from January 28 1991: The Gulf War Edition. As the US and its Coalition launched air strikes to rid Saddam Hussein from Kuwait, the point was made: rarely does the victor of war receive the end result desired. Well, Sadaam Hussein died on the gallows in 2006 so how is it possible that the Muslim Brotherhood is waging jihad on the West today? If the West won that Gulf War, when did this jihad actually begin?

Was it this Gulf War 1 in 1991? It’s said to have led to bin Laden attacking the US on 9/11.

Was it Gulf War 2 in 2003 with the downfall of Saddam? It led to ISIS.

Was it the failed Arab Spring of 2010 that launched the Syrian Civil War? It led to today’s illegal alien migration crisis across the West.

Well all of the above were fuel. But it of course started in 1948 when the Arabs turned down a state by the UN and decided to kill the new Israel born then too instead.

Look closely at this pic from 1991.

You’ll see the same Palestinian flag as today, the same fake belligerence, the same fake gripes: because 34 years later none of it has earned a “Palestine” for it to fly over.

Rather it has now unleashed an unexpected well-financed war of elimination on the West.

In 1991 not a single Coalition partner against Sadaam would have thought that their future governments in 2025 would be party to their own downfall by letting this war run loose on them.

Yet here they are, all too scared to fight back to protect their values of citizenship, and law & order, for fear of losing the votes of unassimilated populations they think they can control.

The West has won every war it fought militarily since 1991. Israel whom the West defended from Sadaam’s Scuds in 1991 has just defeated Hamas. In 1991 the West defeated Communism in the Soviet Union too.

But where’s the victory, the economic and cultural peace for humanity all thought would result?

Instead, since 2023, we have our mainstream media corrupted by jihad; police forces, justice and parliamentarians corrupted by jihad; entire Western municipal governments, cities and nations corrupted by jihad; the UN continuing its record of corruption by jihad.

We have forgotten what we fought for.

Come November 11 next week, this will loom more starkly than ever.

The red poppy of remembrance must always outweigh the red triangle of terror. As the poem goes:

“In Flanders fields the poppies blow, Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; … Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields.”

Australians were there where those crosses now rest, led by General John Monash at Ypres and Passchendaele when soon after as the first full General of an Australian Corps, he broke through the Hindenburg Line and helped send the German Army into retreat.

Through those times of mass slaughter in WW1 all religions shared the pain and prayer for hope.

The Jewish John Monash was among them. One of the many believers among Christians and Muslims, all of whom we must never forget, friend or foe, as the fist of the Islamist bully swings again.
