People are no
longer afraid of the radical Barry Soetoro, and now known as Barack Hussein
Obama, clearly indicating his Islamic Muslim Militant leanings he plays with
the lives of millions of people but the love of you as an American does not
enter his agenda. Barack Obama was voted
into office by the people and his power has been removed by the people. Barack Obama is boxed in as a Muslim
Extremist and he's fighting the America people, transforming their country,
allowing Iran to gain nuclear weapons and trying his best to stop Israel and
their people from defending their nation.
Muslims have promised to kill infidels, if you're not a Muslim you will
pay a tax or retribution for now bowing down to Muhammad the profit of Allah,
this is what Obama believes, not in the U.S. Constitution.
Barack Obama has done nothing
to stop the killing and spreading of the Islamic
Caliphate that could kill millions of innocent people
People are now
fully aware that Barack Obama is most likely a security risk to the nation as
he continues to lie to the American people, abuse the peoples power inside
Congress and makes bad deals with people that want to kill Americans. Many
Americans are in danger today, maybe you and your family. Learning the history
of Islam, Muslim Brotherhood, Allah and Muhammad will allow you to see Barack
Obama clearly for the first time. The
Muslim Brotherhood is alive and well inside America, known as CAIR and
supported by Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton, Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, Jesse
Jackson, and thousands of others.
The adviser to the president was born in Iran
President Barack
Obama has never loved America, in fact, president Barack Obama has no emotional
attachment to America or it's history of freeing millions of people from
tyrants and dictators. Barack Obama has
proven to be dishonest and divides which proves he does not love you, or your
neighbor or the nation. If all this is true, who does Barack Obama love? Barack Obama's heart belongs to Allah and
Muhammad the prophet. Barack Obama is
cowardly and is ashamed of his love for God or Allah and the prophet
Muhammad. His elective name change
proved the point and the hiding of his college years but most importantly his
actions. Barack Obama wants Iran to gain
a nuclear weapon and power over Israel, the land of the evil Jews. The Saudi Arabian Kingdom despises Barack
Obama and his fake friendship as they understand that Barack Obama has no
honor. Obama really stands for
nothing. GITMO releases powers up the
radicals with new hero's to kill Americans but Obama insist on closing the
GITMO prison and doing favors for the Castro brothers of Communist Cuba. The war is on and Obama stands ready to
destroy the entire United States for no good reason at all. The people have
rejected Obama.
These people are transforming America.
Al Sharpton
Eric Holder
Barack Obama
Israel cannot survive a nuclear strike from Iran. The United States cannot survive in the middle east without Israel, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and others. Barack Obama leans to radical solutions covered up with big words and wild promises. Foreign leaders now understand that Obama is a liar, they know the story about Benghazi, ObamaCare, Fast and Furious, Louis Lerner IRS and all the other scandals. Who would trust Barack Obama?
Maybe a fictional story will help you learn about Allah, Muhammad and the Islamic Terrorist Threat that was brought to America by radical socialist policies of Barack Obama and his supporters?
The White House
secret service agent rapped on the door very gently, wanting to wake the
president at 3:00 o'clock in the morning.
The presidents diversion yesterday was that Islamic Summit inside the
White House so the agent knew the president stayed up late entertaining Sharia
Law with his collection of new friends.
Middle class Americans are now economically destroyed
as Obama's wealth re-distribution has crushed their wealth.
The Killers are coming out of the woods as America
was made weaker by the Obama reductions of the U.S. Military,
the perfect time to strike against America,
around the world.
Americans are learning about the fight,
as Obama tries to cover his tracks.
Good Men have connected the dots
and they all point to the takeover of America
by Minority and Muslim Radicals
The Russian KGB Bear Putin is loose and
he's killing in the Ukraine today but
plans on roaming the earth.
You have been caged by a destroyed economy, a weak job market, wealth re-distribution, minority riots,
Muslim extremists as
the law is now used against you, to control you,
to keep you locked up behind bars.
Barack Obama is a
very distinctive black mark in American history and will go down through the
ages as the militant radical extremist socialist that almost destroyed America
before American citizens and their U.S. Constitution destroyed him and his
legacy.
The White House
Security Breach by Islamic Extremists is fiction but you must wonder as the
reader, what if? Secret Service and Russian Special Forces fighting it out on
the White House lawn, beheading's in Washington D.C., fires started and shots
fired.
The Islamic
Extremists were killing Christians again but this time the blood didn't flow
into the sands of the Barack Obama red line in Syria or Iraq as the blood soaked into the ground of
Washington D.C. the place of liberty and freedom around the world. Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, Bill Clinton,
Bill De Blasio, Joe Biden, Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson Sr and
others say nothing.
While the agent
was trying wake up the President other agents across the nation were also
rapping on doors in the middle of the night. America was attacked, in several
places at once as the drunken president watched T.V. from the bedroom in the
White House.
Reporters know
whenever you hear ‘look’ or ‘listen’ come out of the president’s mouth, that
means he’s no longer answering your question, he’s answering his question.”
Barack Obama is a
dangerous fraud as he announced his war plans to the enemy which could cost
tens of thousands of lost lives and ISIS ISIL TALIBAN AL-QAEDA to regroup in a
different area to save their Islamic Caliphate State of Murder, Raper and
Destruction.
The national
security of the United States is a play today as Germany has failed NATO and
cannot fight, Greece cannot pay back its loans and they will default as China
dumps 80 billion dollars in U.S. bonds which will force an international trade
war, like in 1930 that will collapse America, American jobs and put every home
and family in danger.
These things are
the things that create the times of war. The time of war is again upon the
people of the United States and we have the wrong leader in the White
House. The Middle East is in the heart
of Obama and not America.
The White House,
Barack Obama, has ordered the State Department to issue a travel warning to
Israel, of course two weeks before Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel
date to speak in front of the entire U.S. Congress, all will attend except the
radicals of the DNC that will boycott.
Barack Obama has
sent operatives to Israel, the Jewish State, to overthrow the government and
destroy the re-election of Netanyahu as Israel understands that Iran plans on a
global nuclear war, which Obama will be party to as he has done nothing to stop
the Islamic Muslim Extremists develop a nuclear weapon and international
delivery system.
This is the Obama
lie that may kill you.
Timidly the White
House secret service agent rapped on the presidents bedroom door, perhaps
apprehensively but with more force than the first time. President Obama was now the world's greatest
hobbyist as the American people no longer respected his words or deeds to the
presidents astonishment.
The Islamic
Extremists were killing Christians again but this time the blood didn't flow
into the sands of Syria or Iraq the blood soaked into the ground of Washington
D.C. the place of liberty and freedom around the world. While the agent was trying wake up the
President other agents across the nation were also rapping on doors in the
middle of the night.
Relaxed and
mostly asleep Barack Obama opened his bedroom door which was his silent reply
to the agents knocking on the locked door.
The agent would never understand the character or lack of character of
Barack Obama but as the nation's chief executive he always gave Barack Obama a
smile and total respect, it was part of his job as a secret service agent
assigned to the White House.
This president,
thoroughly, could care less about the United States and his only occupation was
acting like a spoiled teenager when he didn't get his way. Beyond golf and riding around on Air Force
One this president always claimed the high ground even if he had to dance around
the truth in front of the entire world.
The presidents
late night that the press would call needed leisure time had done Barack in as
his eyes were puffy and you could tell he had been drinking and smoking too
much, just like the activity reports suggested when the agent reported for duty
tonight.
ISIS, ISIL,
Taliban, Al-Qaeda, AQAP and dozens of other Radical Islamic Muslim Extremists
were painting their Sharia Law across the world with blood but leisure time
dominated this presidents schedule. In
the last several months, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Jordon, Yemen, Libya and other hot
spots around the world moved from private hands of their citizens to the bloody
hands of the Jihadist.
The problems
inside the United States bear heavily on every honest citizen as unemployment
breeds the Barack Obama welfare state and wealth re-distribution. The terrorists are killing by every way
possible but President Obama has reduced 100 million Americans into poverty by
his combined failed liberal, progressive, socialist government policies. The combination of Islamic Terrorism and
Economic worries the average family could not forget his daily problems even
with ObamaCare, Food Stamps, Free Cell Phones, Subsidized Housing and other government
welfare programs.
All the official
government reports were lies and cheated the truth like M.I.T. professor
Jonathan Gruber did and now made famous by lying and cheating citizens about
ObamaCare.
The American
people discovered that Brian Williams of NBC
lies and cheats the truth to get the cash and to be a big shot.
People knew the
name Lois Lerner, the now retired I.R.S. liar and cheat that targeted the
American Tea Party that now wanders around during her retirement paid for by
taxpayers.
People now
understand that New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio is comfortable with
Socialism and Communism and doesn't think much about the NYPD police department
but he loves Cuba.
Congressional
records clearly indicate that Eric Holder should be held in contempt of
Congress, the first attorney general in the United States to be held in
contempt. The Fast and Furious Gun
Running by the government has probably killed hundreds of people in Mexico but
Eric Holder isn't going to share the entire story with the America citizens or
their Congress.
With all this is
mind the secret service agent stood silent for a couple of seconds while Barack
Obama tried to open his eyes and clear his head from expensive alcohol and
tried to speak.
By this time the
staircases leading up to the presidents White House bedroom were filled with
armed guards and secret service agents.
The agents filled the White House grounds and military security teams
were activated within the one hundred mile radius of the White House.
The White House
Mansion was now a military fort and graphic reports flowed into the situation
room about Militant Islamist Jihadist killing people all across the District of
Columbia the home of the United States government.
Despite official
reports and documents the American people had been told by Barack Obama that
Islam was not the problem as it was just
a few bad apples at the bottom of the barrel.
Many wondered about the size of the barrel as thousands of minority
Black and Latino insurgents filled the streets and joined in with the Islamic
Extremists and were lighting fires of arson across the country.
The Congressional
library was on fire this very moment and the first responders were being fired
on with high powered rifles and even pistols from drive by cars. It was being reported that collections of books
were already destroyed and some of the finest paintings in the world were ashes
and the fire was growing.
America was under
attack this morning, not by planes like 9/11 it would be a ground war by the
hands of Islamic Terrorists.
Reports of heroic
deeds by the New York City Police Department were coming in to the almost empty
situation room and vivid pictures of Americans being beheaded on main streets
across the nation.
Even Ferguson
Missouri was making the national news again as colored militants and insurgents
were busy burning down the local police department and rioting was reported
across St. Louis as excited local reporters got in their news vans and hurried
out and away from the gun shots and radicals.
The Al-Jazeera
network was on top of the news reporting with more vivid shots of riots,
shootings and fires as the president knew as Barack's T.V. was on and tuned
into Al-Jazeera in his bedroom and his private study. Barack Obama looked up but did not say a word
and opened the door wider to allow the Secret Service agent enough room to
enter as if the agent was a most intimate friend.
Authorized
persons were standing outside the bedroom as they are not permitted to enter
the presidential bedroom at these hours without permission from Barack Obama or
Michelle. Michelle Obama was also up and covered by her silk pink robe
as she hated these late night visits, even though very rare.
The presidents
mother-in-law was now walking down the hall and entered her daughter's bedroom
and revealed her displeasure about all the men in the halls. She always had an interesting angle on
anything and everything and was mostly just a house pet that enjoys the good
life helping supervise the grand children's sun shinny days.
She also had a
bad habit of collecting heads of secret service agents she didn't like and she
was on a roll trying to find out who leaked the picture on Twitter of one of
the girls.
Barack Obama went
into his study and the secret service agent followed and ingeniously remained
silent until the president spoke his first words of the day "What is
it?" the president didn't even look
up as he returned to his television watching.
The secret
service agent was staring straight ahead at the Gordon Grant painting of the
ship "Constitution" to avoid staring at the hung over and ragged
president at 3:17 on a Friday morning.
"Cottage
Burning Sir!" the agent truly stood
at attention because those two words "Cottage Burning" was the code
for a complete evacuation of the White House Mansion.
The remarkable group
of guards and secret service agents were mostly men of war and they knew a war
when they seen one and they were about tired of waiting.
The president
raised his left hand and gestured to the agent to stop talking as he was
listening to a special report on Al-Jazeera.
The governor of
New York was planning on calling out the National Guard in Albany and New York
City as the governor and New York City mayor Bill De Blasio were being shown
together in their own situation room in some basement filled with computers and
advisors in bright red jackets with large white letters printed on their backs
"Emergency Response".
The secret
service agent waited some more and was now looking at the painting of the war
ship "Old Ironsides" which was noted for its victories in the
Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 which was the last time the White House
was attacked and set on fire which could happen again in only a few moments.
The DOD
Department of Defense, CIA Central Intelligence Agency, FBI Federal Bureau of
Investigations, DIA Defense Intelligence Agency, DHS Department of Homeland
Security, CBP Customs and Border Patrol, NSA National Security Agency and White
House officials were now arriving and leaving the White House at the same
time. The "Cottage Burning"
order was out so leadership arriving was removed and the leadership in the
Government including Congress, Supreme Court and the White House were ordered
and escorted off White House grounds.
Barack Obama's
chief of staff entered the presidents bedroom without asking and not one person
dared to make him pause.
He sat a
presidential executive order on the presidents candy desk in the study and
handed Barack a black pen. There were
three copies of this presidential executive order and Barack took the pen and
started signing the documents.
It was not
appropriate for the secret service agent to try and read the order but tried he
did. The deeply tanned chief of staff
was in blue jeans and wore a white t-shirt with Harvard printed on the front in
red letters.
Reports were now
coming out that the ports on the West coast down around Long Beach and San
Pedro were now on fire and SWAT teams were in a fire fight with unknown
subjects.
The little
steamer Al Sharpton was now showing up on another T.V. set, The MSNBC network militant radical star Al
Sharpton was shouting about the sinking of America and a new beginning and was
giving some kind of victorious speech when his voice cracked in excitement.
ABC, CBS, NBC,
MSNBC, CNN and others were reporting some kind of engagement with Cuba in the
Gulf of Mexico with U.S. Naval ships with a promise of more information to
follow.
FOX News was the
first to report that the radicals from the Gaza Strip was firing hundreds of
missiles at Israel. The secret service
agent was sure now that the president was trying to avoid hearing the news even
as he watched the pictures on T.V. FOX
also reported that our own Secretary of the Navy was about to go live on T.V.
to make some announcement which motivated the president to get out of his chair
and stand by the mantelpiece of the fireplace.
The noted
Secretary of the Navy showed himself in full camouflaged uniform which the
secret service agent knew was a very close friend of president Obama. The president turned away from the fireplace
and was watching FOX news of all things.
The Secretary had
just returned a few days ago from a tour of Europe and an inspection of NATO
ground forces that were still fighting the Russian bear in the Ukraine. Putin didn't stop at Crimea and he had sent
over 100,000 Russian troops into Ukraine and thousands had been killed and the
CIA reported that Moldova and Romania were next on the list.
The Secretary was
aboard a Naval war ship and fully camouflaged which made him look a little
ominous and threatening. This man had
earned his way up the military chain and now the political chain but was
sinking in front of the cameras. It was
reported that he was aboard the U.S.S.
Naval Vessel Roosevelt somewhere in the Persian Gulf area which was
considered secret. A few years ago the
Secretary of the Navy was the picture of health but even his deeply tanned skin
didn't hide the scars of reporting to the current commander in chief.
Last summer the
Islamic States of Iran, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkey, Lebanon,
Libya and Egypt among others declared Jihad against Israel and the United
States and the friends of America.
Last summer Putin
of Russia mounted a strenuous campaign against the United States and NATO
allies and at the same time the Islamic Radical States declared their Caliphate
and Jihad.
Closer to America
Fidel Castro died and passed on to hell as the island nation of Cuba slipped
back into the hands of Russian economic, military and political power even as U.S. citizens
spent their dollars at the newly constructed hotels and casinos built by
capitalism.
Americans could
fly from Orlando Florida to Havana Cuba during the summer for $29.00 one way so
tens of thousands would travel daily to the island of whores, poker hands and
legal drugs under Communism including Congressional leaders and White House
staff members.
The Secretary of
the Navy; "It has been reported but not verified as of yet that Israel has
completed early morning airstrikes against the Islamic State of
Iran." the secretary turned the
page of his white briefing book and continued
"Israel
rebukes the government of Iran and their killing of Jews and Christians around
the world." the secretary turned
the page with a little more energy this time
"It must be
confirmed but DOD Department of Defense has determined that Israel most likely
used several U.S. made "Amberjack Bombs" and as many know they can leisurely destroy most capital
cities." the secretary looked up as
he turned the page of his statement
"After the
last election, our past friend, Netanyahu of Israel, promised that he would
never allow Iran to gain nuclear weapons and after months of trying to convince
our own leadership took matters into his own hands." the secretary closed his briefing book and
looked straight at the men and women gathered on the deck of the ship. He
noticed that his grandchildren would be the age of most of the men and women
facing him today.
"Our own
leadership, navigating the Islamic menace around the world, looking up and down
for solutions, trying many assortments of solutions failed to stop the creation
of a nuclear weapon in Iran."
"It saddens me, and many others, that Iran has now deployed several
nuclear cruise missiles against the people of Israel, Saudi Arabia and
Jordon and the missiles have caused
great destruction." the secretary
took no question and ended his statement "God bless America."
The president returned
to his chair and his Chief of Staff reminded him of the "Cottage
Burning" order which mandated the evacuation of the White House.
The president
slipped deeply into his leather padded chair and pulled out a map of the East
coast of America and looked almost happy and cheerful as he pointed to the
exact spot where the pilgrims had landed off the ship Mayflower.
The president
talking now, to the room, not to anybody in particular,
"It seems the
Muslim swordfish and killed the American whale."
"The thrilling enthusiasts of the
founding fathers and the so called supremacy of Democracy has been smacked down
by Allah."
"It was a thrilling
race and the front ranks of Israel have been killed."
"Iran will now kill the various
celebrities starting with the gay men, will start beheading high government
officials here and there, navy officers, military men and rape the women,
slaughter the diplomats and their children, and kill every publicists around
the world."
"My friend Putin
should postmark his last will and testament today as his representatives are
already under ground where you want me to go." The president was not rambling but seemed to be confused using wordy stories
that could fill volumes.
"The
Constitution is Scrap as I told you before." "The general idea of man being free of
Allah was silly." "The variety
of your death and the degree of your torture is not known yet but, it won't be
much longer now." "They are no
more cares and troubles gentlemen if you only acknowledge Allah as God and lay
aside your own Christian hobby."
The secret
service agent heard a pistol hammer being pulled back but the first body
dropped to the floor in a pool of blood before he could reach his own. As the first pistol shot grew older a new
blast replaced it and then another.
The secret
service agent remembering what happened in China when someone tried to kill a
White House representative grabbed the president and tossed him down to the
floor.
The president was
no longer a man he was just a package and it was the agents job to protect him
and get him out of harm's way.
Now automatic
weapons were heard firing, sounding like it was from the attic as the president was grabbed up by several
agents now and pulled down the hall to a lower level.
During the last
several years the White House grounds had been breached, one intruder making it
inside the White House so the president was first to realize this was a real
life attack. The training kicked in as
the agents moved the president lower into the mansion and collected him and his
family at the secret door to the underground shelter.
In some ancient
sense the secret service agent knew he would die that day but, he had to save
the president. Suddenly like a clipper
the agent heard the helicopter pounding and landing on the White House lawn, it
gave him hope and his resolve surged a thousand percent as his commander
ordered them outside to board the helicopter.
The agent knew
they had all been lured out when he realized the Marine presidential helicopter
was full of Russian special forces and opened fire on the group.
Finally he felt
the pain, likely the shot to his chest would kill him and his wife would become
a widow in moments. They had collected
the president and he was loaded into the helicopter and occasionally he could
see the presidents face screaming but could not hear him.
It had been a
busy day that he had sold off to the government for a middle class salary but
he had tried and lost. Fellow agents
laid around him, some already dead.
The engagement to
kidnap the president lasted no more than three or four minutes, time has passed
in some time warp, nothing in real time, almost slow motion.
He saw the
Russian special forces toss out the body of a White House official as they left
the ground and turned the helicopter away from the battle. Some U.S. sailor ran to her side as the wind
tossed the tree limbs across her broken body.
The ambitions of this president was like a rolling wave breaking in on
the rocks at the beach during a storm.
The giant wave
broken up into little tiny drops of almost nothing only to be formed again,
repeating the cycle, over and over.
Fiction
...
Actual History of
the United States;
America's
dealings with Islam following her founding. wonder if they have even considered
the words and actions of the third President of the United States, Thomas
Jefferson, especially his sense of reading their own texts from the Qur'an and
knowing just what his enemies thought. Let's take a stroll down memory lane and
expose Obama's lies on Islam, shall we?
First, keep in
mind that Islam and terrorism have gone hand in hand since its inception at the
beginning of the 7th century. In fact, it's founder Muhammad was a terrorist
and used "religion" to band his merry men together to conquer, rape
and pillage.
For nearly
fifteen centuries the world has faced the disease of Islam, but our nation
faced it head on when Thomas Jefferson, serving as the ambassador to France,
and John Adams, serving as the ambassador to Britain, went to London to meet
with Ambassador Abdrahaman, the Dey of Tripoli's ambassador to Britain. Of
course they met with Abdrahaman to negotiate a peace treaty, but keep in mind
that in Islam, the only peace is submission to Islam.
Islam requires
jizya under Sharia law, you know that alleged "harmless law" they
want to impose here in the West.
Jizya is a per
capita tax levied on a section of an Islamic state's non-Muslim citizens, who
meet certain criteria. Obama is paying
this Jizya tax now with federal dollars with federal grants.
The tax is and
was to be levied on able-bodied adult males of military age and affording
power. So as Adams and Jefferson met, they found out the price of peace was
quite expensive.
If America wanted
"temporary peace," a one-year guarantee, it would cost $66,000 plus a
10% commission. "Everlasting peace" was a bargain at $160,000 plus
the obligatory commission.
This only applied
to Tripoli.
Other Muslim
nations would also have to be paid.
The amount came
to $1.3 million. But there was no assurance that the treaties would be honored.
In vain,
Jefferson and Adams tried to argue that America was not at war with Tripoli. In
what way had the U.S provoked the Muslims, they asked? Ambassador Abdrahaman
went on to explain "the finer points of Islamic jihad" to the
Koranically challenged Jefferson and Adams.
Jefferson then
wrote a letter to John Jay that read:
"The
Ambassador answered us that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that
it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have
acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to
make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they
could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman [Muslim] who should be slain
in battle was sure to go to Paradise."
This is loosely
based upon the Qur'an's teaching from Surah 47:4 which reads,
"Therefore,
when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks;
At length, when
ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is
the time for) either generosity or ransom:
Until the war
lays down its burdens.
Thus (are ye
commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted
retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you,
some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,-
He will never let
their deeds be lost."
So what happened?
Though the US,
along with Great Britain and France had paid a "tribute" for
protection against piracy, once Tripoli increased the tribute following
Jefferson becoming President, he refused to pay them the increase, though he
did continue to pay until the end of his presidency. Tripoli then declared war
on the United States on May 10, 1801. This was the beginning of the First
Barbary War.
Interestingly
enough, before becoming President, Jefferson had opposed funds be used for a
Navy except to provide coastal defense. Gerard W. Gawalt writes concerning
Jefferson and the tribute payment:
After the United
States won its independence in the treaty of 1783, it had to protect its own
commerce against dangers such as the Barbary pirates.
As early as 1784
Congress followed the tradition of the European shipping powers and
appropriated $80,000 as tribute to the Barbary states, directing its ministers
in Europe, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, to begin negotiations with them.
Trouble began the
next year, in July 1785, when Algerians captured two American ships and the dey
of Algiers held their crews of twenty-one people for a ransom of nearly
$60,000.
Thomas Jefferson,
United States minister to France, opposed the payment of tribute, as he later
testified in words that have a particular resonance today.
In his
autobiography Jefferson wrote that in 1785 and 1786 he unsuccessfully
"endeavored to form an association of the powers subject to habitual
depredation from them.
I accordingly prepared, and proposed to their
ministers at Paris, for consultation with their governments, articles of a
special confederation." Jefferson argued that "The object of the
convention shall be to compel the piratical States to perpetual peace."
Jefferson
prepared a detailed plan for the interested states. "Portugal, Naples, the
two Sicilies, Venice, Malta, Denmark and Sweden were favorably disposed to such
an association," Jefferson remembered, but there were
"apprehensions" that England and France would follow their own paths,
"and so it fell through."
Paying the ransom
would only lead to further demands, Jefferson argued in letters to future
presidents John Adams, then America's minister to Great Britain, and James
Monroe, then a member of Congress.
As Jefferson
wrote to Adams in a July 11, 1786, letter, "I acknolege [sic] I very early
thought it would be best to effect a peace thro' the medium of war."
Paying tribute
will merely invite more demands, and even if a coalition proves workable, the
only solution is a strong navy that can reach the pirates, Jefferson argued in
an August 18, 1786, letter to James Monroe:
"The states must see the rod; perhaps it
must be felt by some one of them. . . . Every national citizen must wish to see
an effective instrument of coercion, and should fear to see it on any other
element than the water. A naval force can never endanger our liberties, nor
occasion bloodshed; a land force would do both."
"From what I
learn from the temper of my countrymen and their tenaciousness of their
money," Jefferson added in a December 26, 1786, letter to the president of
Yale College, Ezra Stiles, "it will be more easy to raise ships and men to
fight these pirates into reason, than money to bribe them."
With US merchant
ships being attacked and Americans being kidnapped he finally issued letters of
marque and reprisal, which sent a groups of privately owned war ships, that
were approved by the government, to make war against the Barbary Pirates. He
utilized this constitutional measure, which we are not using today.
In doing this he
sent for the "privateers," as they were referred to. The privately owned
frigates USS Philadelphia, USS President, and the USS Essex, along with the
schooner USS Enterprise was America's first navy to cross the Atlantic. Others
would also join and see action as well.
Ultimately, in
1805 United States Marines crossed the desert from Egypt into Tripolitania,
forced the surrender of Tripoli and free those Americans that had been
kidnapped and were made slaves.
Thus, this is
where the famous line from the United States Marine Corps (Oorah!) comes from:
"From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli. Demar says it not
only refers to the First Barbary War, but specifically to the Battle of Derna,
which took place in 1805.
.
