    THE SECURE FREEDOM STRATEGY

                       A Plan for Victory Over the

                         Global Jihad Movement

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ‘SECURE FREEDOM STRATEGY’

 

      The United States is in mortal period from a false friend: the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The

peril emanates from the totalitarian legal-religious-military-political code the Saudis call Shariah

and their assiduous efforts to impose it worldwide. The danger is enormously exacerbated by the

almost-complete failure of American officials at every level of government to acknowledge, let

alone act to prevent, the Saudis' true agenda.

      For over thirty-five years, the United States has been at war with enemies sworn to its

destruction. It did not seek enmity or hostilities with them. Both are the product of forces that

long predated the establishment of this country, to say nothing of its adoption toward the end of

the 20th Century of policies towards the Middle East or other regions.

      For much of this period, the U.S. government has pursued various strategies – including

selective military engagements, benign neglect, willful blindness and outright appeasement – that

have in common one very low common denominator: They all ignore the aforementioned

realities and, as a practical matter, have exacerbated them.

      The “Secure Freedom Strategy” offers corrective actions, starting with a clear-eyed

understanding of the enemy we confront – namely, an international, ideologically driven Global

Jihad Movement and its enablers – and the essential elements of an effective strategy for

countering it. This alternative approach is modeled after the successful strategy President

Ronald Reagan pursued to defeat Soviet communism, embodied in his National Security

Decision Directive (NSDD) 75.

 

      Its key components include:

 

•     Understanding the Enemy’s Threat Doctrine: First and foremost, the United States

      needs to achieve a realistic understanding of the enemy and its doctrine. That requires, in

      particular, clarity concerning the ideology its adherents call shariah, the jihad it impels

      and the various ways in which such warfare is being waged against us.

      The term “shariah” as used in this paper is intended to denote the authoritative and

      authoritarian corpus juris of Islamic law as it has been articulated by the recognized

      shariah authorities since at least the 10th Century. This use of the term shariah, therefore,

      does not refer to an idiosyncratic, personal or purely pietistic observance of Islamic law

      which may or may not conform to the entirety of established Islamic doctrine. As used in

      this document, the descriptor “shariah-adherent” does not apply to the latter, but rather

      to Islamic supremacists who engage in jihad or support those who do in furtherance of

      the political goals of their ideology.

      This jihadist doctrine is being advanced by both violent techniques and by means other

      than terrorism. We must, accordingly, be prepared to deal kinetically where necessary

      with the perpetrators of violent jihad and no less effectively with what the Muslim

      Brotherhood calls “civilization jihad” – its stealthy, subversive effort to “destroy Western

      civilization from within…by [our own] hands.”1

 

•     Establishing Our Objective: Next, the United States must enunciate a national commitment

      to – using a phrase President Reagan employed as the object of NSDD 75 – “contain and

      over time reverse” shariah-driven Islamic supremacism, including establishment of the

      Caliphate. The rising tide of shariah and its manifestations here and abroad make

      abundantly clear that Western civilization, indeed America, cannot coexist with the Global

      Jihad Movement.

 

•     Reestablishing ‘Peace through Strength’: Just as President Reagan did in his day, the

      contemporary hollowing out of the U.S. military must be reversed as a matter of the utmost

      priority. The perception of American weakness only reinforces our shariah-adherent

      enemies’ conviction that the time has come for intensifying jihad operations. It is also

      emboldening other adversaries, including Russia, China and North Korea.

 

•     As the United States is not confronting just terrorist organizations, or even their statesponsors,

      but prospectively “peer competitors,” the rebuilding of American military power

      must be balanced across the spectrum of nuclear, missile defense, conventional and special

      operations forces. We must also continue to develop asymmetric capabilities (e.g., in space

      and cyber space) while correcting our most egregious vulnerabilities to these enemies’

      asymmetric attacks (notably, electromagnetic pulse, cyberwarfare, counter-space,

      economic/financial warfare, smuggled weapons of mass destruction, etc.)

 

•     Counter-Ideological Warfare: As in the Cold War, America’s ability to challenge and

      neutralize its enemies’ animating ideology is at least as important as the task of countering

      their kinetic threats. Once we are clear about the nature and centrality of the shariah

      doctrine to the existential danger we currently face, the need for a serious and effective

      counter-ideological strategy becomes self-evident. Putting such a strategy into practice will

      require, first and foremost, identifying the Muslim Brotherhood for the explicitly jihadist

      organization it has always been and is now. Continuing to treat its operatives and

      organizations (overt and covert) in America and overseas as “partners” because we are told

      they “eschew violence” is a formula for our incremental destruction. Wherever and as soon as

      possible, these foes should be neutralized as political forces. At a minimum, they must be

      denied access to U.S. government agencies, funds, arms and, via television cable packages,

      household subscribers.

 

•     Intelligence Operations: We must take a page from the playbook developed during the

      Reagan administration by then-Director of Central Intelligence William Casey and use

      covert means wherever possible to counter, divide and undermine our enemies. To the

      traditional intelligence techniques should be added aggressive use of psychological operations,

      cyberwarfare and, where necessary, clandestine and special operations.

 

•     Economic Warfighting: As with the Reagan NSDD 75 plan, there must be a central

      economic/financial warfighting component to a new American strategy for defeating our

      time’s existential enemies. This component would include: constricting the principal source

      of revenues for the jihad – vast petrodollar transfers from Western nations to OPEC states;

      reversing the present practice of accommodating and even encouraging shariah finance, a

      technique employed by civilization jihadists to penetrate and subvert our capitalist system;

      and exposing shariah-inspired sovereign wealth funds as instruments of financial jihad.

 

•     Cyber Warfighting: Cyberspace is the new battlefield of asymmetric warfare where attacks

      across domains and technologies by the Global Jihad enemy as well as peer adversaries must

      be countered with 21st century capabilities drawn from the best and brightest in the civilian,

      intelligence, and military worlds.

      With this foundation, it should be possible to effect the necessary second step: the adoption by

      the nation of a true warfooting that will bring to bear the popular vigilance and support that will

      make it possible for the Secure Freedom Strategy to be fully executed.

With all the obvious political buffoonery currently on parade in DC, it makes me wonder just how much jihad is already occurring from "within" the ranks.

 

Hope the USA epitaph does not one day read:

 

"... and across the entire land, not a single shot, nor cry of foul was heard to ring out in disgust against the wicked beast of shariah..."
