I have just returned from yet another "anti-terrorism" conference. Unlike many I have attended, however, this one seemed to have the right idea in how to combat terrorism.
Most of the conferences I attend generally have a few lectures on bomb recognition, a speaker who talks about the "global threat" of terrorist groups, and of course, the token FBI agent who dutifully talks about how we are "winning" the War on Terror.
As I have stated in previous blogs, we are not engaged in a "War on Terror." We are engaged in a war against organized crime, and as far as the "global" threat is concerned, we are engaged in a war against Islam.
I find it intriguing that no-one ever wants to talk about the "elephant in the corner."
If an intelligent person examines every act of terrorism that has been perpetrated in the last 30 years "globally" one draws some rather ...

I was discussing the recent bloodbath in Gaza the other day with a good friend, a man who is a fellow police officer, as well as an Arab linguist and Army officer.
We were discussing our Nation's foreign policy, and how the war on terror is being conducted. The conclusion being that neither of us believe our current national efforts are either efficient or productive. The problem, as he stated, and to which I concur, is that "organized crime, is organized crime, is organized crime." Every terrorist organization in the world is much like one of the organized crime families that the FBI has worked against for years. Mafia bosses have used terrorism to support thier regimes all the way back to the 1920's, and as the FBI has learned, the only way to reduce organized crime, is to eliminate and curtail the pipelines that make the activity profitable.
The Mafiosos of old were never satisfied. Wars between crime families occured because there was always someone ...

The Apologetics of Violence |

Sigh... Yet another post dealing with the topic of violence. In the six years that this ministry has maintained an online presence, I have received emails from all over the world. A few have been encouraging, and wanting more information, but many have been downright hateful. The most hateful always seem to come from atheists and left-wing liberals (OK, I expect that) but more than a few have come from fellow Christians, who seem to have a wild mis-understanding of what we are, and what we do. These commentaries are also obviously from people who have actually never bothered to read the web-site, or request additional information, but choose to just make an assumption and attack.
I was talking to an individual the other day, and the subject of this ministry came up. He stated "I've heard of you. Your the guy that trains Christian mercenaries."
Again, sigh... Please. A mercenary is a "soldier for hire" who works for the highest paying employer, ...

Massacre at Virginia Tech
As of today, the “blogosphere” is alive with commentary on the shootings at Virginia Tech. Pet theories as to why, the motives of the gunman, etc., and as in the normal course of American politics and media juries, who is ultimately to blame.
As is typical, I have seen blogs blaming, yes, President Bush, and one media journal that puts the blame squarely on the shoulders of Charlton Heston, the president of the National Rifle Association.
Schools across the country have faced numerous bomb threats in the aftermath, as sick-minded individuals try to increase the nation’s feelings of panic, or even sicker, try to capitalize on this tragedy just to skip school for a day. The media, in all of their liberal left-wing glory, is making sure that every sho ...

The security mission of SEMSAR is one that that quite often puts me at odds with mainstream Christianity. I cannot begin to recount the numerous churches that have refused to let me speak or address their congregations because my ministry “condones” violence. Before I go any further, let me unequivocally state for the record that we as a ministry DO NOT “condone” violence. We embrace it. Now, before you go all sanctimonious on me, let me explain:&l ...

The devastation that has recently hit our Southern Coast has shocked us all. I am a native of Louisianna, and have extended family all over the state, so it is very likely that some of my own family was caught up in this disaster.
SEMSAR contacted the Office of the Louisianna Governor early on in the crisis, as well as the Missouri SEMA office, to offer our assistance. We received a polite thank you and a promise to call us if needed. Meanwhile, the media is attacking FEMA, the president, Homeland Security, and anyone else they can find about the poor response to the crisis.
Hello? FEMA is not a first responder agency. The Federal government is not responsible for initial response. They are responsible to assist operations already in place. Disaster response is the Congressionally mandated responsiblity of the American Red Cross, as well as numero ...
