This TCS piece ties global strategic think-tanking to recent criticized remarks of Newt Gingrich who noted to the discomfiture of the moonbat left:
This is a serious long term war, and it will inevitably lead us to want to know what is said in every suspect place in the country, that will lead us to learn how to close down every website that is dangerous, and it will lead us to a very severe approach to people who advocate the killing of Americans and advocate the use of nuclear of biological weapons.Newt’s calling a spade a spade here.
And, my prediction to you is that either before we lose a city, or if we are truly stupid, after we lose a city, we will adopt rules of engagement that use every technology we can find to break up their capacity to use the internet, to break up their capacity to use free speech, and to go after people who want to kill us to stop them from recruiting people before they get to reach out and convince young people to destroy their lives while destroying us.
This is a serious problem that will lead to a serious debate about the first amendment, but I think that the national security threat of losing an American city to a nuclear weapon, or losing several million Americans to a biological attack is so real that we need to proactively, now, develop the appropriate rules of engagement.
Sort of reminds the Chief of Churchill, and a few political allies like Oliver Locker-Lampson warning about the Nazis in the EARLY 1930’s to no avail – only to have the truth of their cautionary admonitions
