The Washington Post hired a friend of Osama bin Laden to write columns pushing his worldview. Until the Saudis killed him, the Washington Post was recruiting for the terrorist group that attacked the United States on September 11, 2001. And they act innocent and wonder why Trump calls them the Enemy Media. Money likely changed hands to make this happen. For more about these financial networks, go to 8chan for information because you're not getting it from the Washington Post.

That is total bullshit. No one is saying every Republican is a Nazi.

No? You sure? Oh, well...It looks like there are people saying every republican is a nazi and read the articles, it's got some choice quotes of plenty of liberals, democrats and progressives saying just that. That's the political elite saying that.

Story where a professor calls for the death penalty for those who don't agree with him on AGW.

This is a good example of why liberals should be abolished throughout the world. ANY liberal. They can't debate their points in a logical manner and demand oppression and are afraid of gays or women talking at Berkley. Taken to the extreme like this professor they call for execution of people who disagree with them. Sadly, this professor is not unique or even uncommon in his comments.

No more so than when a liberal professor at Drexel College called for white geocide. Or a co-founder of a Black Lives Matter chapter calls for the same. Those are hate speech as well? Should we prosecute them for their speech as well?

For a few years I was annoyed about the uniform adoration Mr. Musk was getting on Slashdot and in other circles. Then hit-pieces like this one started appearing...

Would the insufferable conditions described in TFA have been described at all — or described using the same terms — if he were still the Progressives' darling for championing "green" causes?

Or has the tone switched, because Musk is a Trump-administration supporter (sort of) — and there is a well-organized smear and boycott campaign against him as a result?

There is a lively discussion on whether or not Musk is a "Trump enabler" — but people, who've already concluded, that he is, will stop at, literally, nothing. Even poisoning the "haters" is becoming a thing — online smears are child's play...

Some homeless are that by choice or by some psychological inability to stay put. For others it is the problem of affordability. It only makes sense to offer permanent shelter to the last category — to people, who want a permanent place, but can not pay for it.

Now, why would not Amazon suggest to and outright push those people into jobs at Amazon? Warehouse workers make about $13/hour? And how will these shelters then be different from workers' dormitories?

Personally I don't see anything wrong with it — as long as no one is forced into these shelters, but that's just what might happen, if authorities start picking up homeless pushing them into such facilities to pretty-up the streets. Which would make these people into something unnervingly close to slaves...

Then GOP USA=Sudan & Somalia.

First of all, Sudan has (almost) nothing in common with Somalia — if anything, Sudan's government is too authoritarian. The below applies to Somalia only:

They have no government at all and anarchy

Somalia's problems stem from having a Collectivist government in the past — they are simply at the more advanced stage of what Venezuela is facing.

Both countries are a libertarian paradise.

Wrong. Yours is such a silly meme, it has been debunked numerous times.

But you knew that already — your aim was to portray my argument about Venezuela equally invalid as yours. Well, they don't compare. Because unlike Somalia, Venezuela was repeatedly and actively praised by the very same people calling for the US to "accept progressive principles". Hugo Chavez was a darling of the world's Socialists. Heck, some of these morons continue to adore Maduro!

When I asked DogDude, what would President Sanders do differently from El Presidente Chavez, he got all indignant and would not answer — nor would any other Sanders-sympathizers I've encountered. But Republicans and Libertarians would list a multitude of differences between Somalia and what they would do, given a chance.

As I said, whatever is wrong with the US healthcare, "adopting progressive principles" is not a solution. It would by like treating a headache with suicide.

Having screamed for anti-immigrant violence and sexual assault becoming common place because of Trump, Illiberals could never offer any actual evidence. Maybe, this guy is what they need. Finally...

Yeah, that's why Robert Doggart was totally convicted, there was no evidence presented. And he didn't talk with anyone about his plans. Nor anyone else. The FBI is totally not reporting an increase in hate crimes either.

But hey, it's not like it's new in America. They even had the support of John Wilkes Booth. Remember him?

Meanwhile the number of victims of the "Black Lives Matter" assholes — the very foundation of their movement based on a lie — uncounted scores.

And then you read a few DOJ reports.

Gosh, I wonder why little old mi never mentions any of that. Is it because you support the authoritarian and oppressive police state that they represent?

Sounds like you're still in the Democratic bullshit mindset. Obama has been wonderful to the Republican party. People have seen his failures and that's why Republicans hold more seats since anytime since reconstruction (state, governors, legislatures, congress, etc). Obama has ruined more countries than anyone since Hitler. Syria, Egypt, ... and on and on... So bad that even the Chinese snubbed him recently, Greece rioted when the little fascist showed up. He's run the US into the ditch. It's a real wreck too. Trump has a lot of damage to fix. Big old deficit too. That's the only reason why anyone thinks Obama is anything, he charged up our credit card to 21T. Never passed a new budget, so we've been paying for that bailout every year since, to artificially prop up the economy over his terrible policies. Otherwise we would have had a hell of a crash. He's the worst in history.

Someone should give you some jolt cola (or punch you good). Wake up dude. You've been lied to bigtime by the left. Time you realize you've been duped.

The Communists Behind the Anti-Trump Protests

The post-election demonstrations against Trump are being orchestrated by socialists and Marxist

When have the democrats ever linked hands to deny every supreme court nominee?

I can't say that there is history of Democrats blocking every Supreme Court nominee. But the Democrats have a rich history of blocking nominees at all levels including Supreme Court, especially recently.

Here's a short overview. More specific links follow.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2016/02/22/democrats_double_standard_for_high_court_nominees.html

Samuel Alito was not filibustered but it was a close thing. Several prominent Democrats (including Senator Barack Obama) unsuccessfully voted for a filibuster despite Alito being rated "Well Qualified" by the American Bar Association.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Alito_Supreme_Court_nomination

George W. Bush's nominees repeatedly were blocked in committee or filibustered.

"...only ten Bush appellate nominees were confirmed during the 110th Congress. A total of eleven appellate seats with Bush nominees were left open at the end of the 110th Congress."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush_judicial_appointment_controversies

Democrats blocked Priscilla Owen for four solid years (including filibustering). Senator Barack Obama personally voted against her.

http://www.frontpagemag.com/point/261878/democrats-blocked-bush-judicial-nominee-entire-daniel-greenfield

The Democrats seem to really hate Trump, and I imagine that a majority of them will think it a virtuous act to block anyone he appoints. We'll see if I'm right or not.

Democrats are more like herding cats. Republicans are more like the Borg.

Democrats have reached a record for voting together: 97.4% This may be the all-time record, but easily searchable electronic records only go back to 1989 and the article linked below only checked the electronic records.

The Republicans currently are at 87.2%, a much lower number, but the article speculates that the Republicans will raise that number now that they have majority power.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/09/upshot/barbara-boxer-and-the-rise-of-democratic-partisan-discipline.html

And here's an article called "Are Democrats Less 'Disciplined' than Republicans?" Spoiler: no.

http://themonkeycage.org/2011/10/are-democrats-less-disciplined-than-republicans/

Political speech mostly, and the expression of ideas are the most protected.

That's a very vague answer...

The sad reality is, once you accept even a seemingly innocuous infringement — such as, for example, that famous example of yelling "fire" (or "gun!") in a crowd, you start down a very steep and slippery slope. For example, Trump is — according to millions of Americans — a very dangerous man to this country, his election promising to be a disaster far more dangerous than a handful of deaths in a panicked crowd of any theater. He is also a racist, is not he? Ergo, Trump's speech, however political, should be curtailed, his followers suppressed. (Wait for AC follow-ups here expressing agreement with this sentence.)

If you think, this is an unlikely and asinine scenario, you haven't been paying attention. There are articles and educated opinions out there already proposing a ban on "hate speech" in general (such as on this, supposedly "Liberal" web-site) and on pro-Trump speech in particular... Other perfectly respectable countries ban "hate speech" already — even that of politicians.

One should be extremely careful accepting new arguments for infringing more speech — and always seek to get rid of existing ones.

A Republic (and a Democracy) can survive such bogus claims being legal. They are a nuisance, but not a threat.

• went beyond their duties as a lawyer to defend a first-degree rape of a 12 year old
• smeared and destroyed the lives of Bill Clinton's rape victims
• helped Russia gain control of 20% of all U.S. uranium and then support war with them
• has Parkinson's disease, which can include dementia, which includes changes in memory, concentration & judgment, delusions, especially paranoid ideas, depression, irritability and anxiety
• runs an international money laundering scheme
• uses the immoral 13 Rules for Radicals that will defeat any opponent regardless of political positions
• used the Benghazi scandal as distraction from the national security breach on her insecure e-mail server
• corrupted the FBI and other government agencies to avoid jail
• part of a campaign that conspires to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry, demeans government, and drops civics
• is very angry and hard on her staff, including the Secret Service agents that protect her
• treats public employees as servants and hates them
• is racist and continues to run a racist campaign
• circulated a picture of Obama dressed as a Somali elder in an effort to gin up racial fears
• ripped off Haitians in their time of need in order to spend donated money on her friends
• wants to go along with a plan to destroy Western democracies so her donors can make a profit
• is preferred by established Republicans because they prefer a Bush-Clinton dynasty

Because you want a Bush-Clinton dynasty run by a person who

• went beyond their duties as a lawyer to defend a first-degree rape of a 12 year old
• smeared and destroyed the lives of Bill Clinton's rape victims
• helped Russia gain control of 20% of all U.S. uranium and then support war with them

Ignorance is an excuse

Without warning, a third soldier emerged from inside the tank and started shooting at the three girls and then also at their grandmother.

This may or may not have been a horrible war crime, but it was not an Act of Terror. There is a fairly clear definition: civilians must be the targets (not bystanders) of calculated (not accidental or mistaken) violence for the purpose of intimidation or coercion or instilling fear.

The IDF refused to let an ambulance bring them to the hospital

Hamas has uses ambulances to transport troops and ammunition. They also use children for suicide attacks — a common practice by Islamists in Palestine and world-wide. Children are also used as human shields — because it works on impressionable useful idiots like yourself. Whether the women, who stepped out, were innocent, or were about to throw a tank-disabling bomb under the tracks, may not have been obvious.

But, again whether the IDF soldier had justifiable suspicions in his shooting of the family, or committed a war crime, it was not an act of terror.

And I did ask for three examples — certainly, a country labeled "terrorist" by detractors would have at least three acts of terror to its name...

Hamas averages dozens of such acts every year — their whole strategy is based on targeting Israeli civilians, because they are impotent at targeting IDF. And yet, you'd like to pretend, Israel is "worse" or "just as bad". Fail.

And here come the American Exceptionalists

Subject-change detected — the usual tactics of Kremlin bots. I accept your surrender of the previous topic — of Russia being a dangerous aggressor — and move on to the new one: whether the US "is just as bad".

ignoring the fact that their assistant Secretary of State is on video bragging about spending billions to subvert a democracy

Notably, your bombastic accusation includes neither a link to the video, nor transcript of the actual words.

It is perfectly normal for countries to spend money on legal organizations abroad. USSR has been doing just that for decades fomenting racial strife in the US, for example, as well as the so-called "Peace Movement". In the Middle East KGB kept Arafat afloat and fighting Israel.

In today's world, Russia buys influence among not only its traditional Communist-allies, but the far-right as well.

You joked about Obama being a KGB-agent — had that been true, it would've been "subverting Democracy" in the extreme. And yet, the entire Russia would've found it awesome.

So, blaming the hapless State Department for "subverting Democracy" is rather hypocritical of you, KGB wrote that book — using Western freedoms to subvert them. But that's not all Russia does... Armed invasion is Ok with you to — and not even to dethrone a particularly nasty dictator or right some other wrong (real or perceived), but to simply grab land.

caught on the phone picking leaders after the coup.

And that, even if it were true, equates to an armed invasion in your opinion? Wow...

Yeah, it seems insanely low. Given the monopoly power of the schools — they control, which books can be used — they could ask for your first-born child as well.

The Big Ed's shenanigans are far worse than those of the regularly-condemned Big Oil and Big Pharma, for example, and they are long overdue for some Congressional scrutiny.

The terrorists have been doing this for ages

Ah, so it never applied to you. You heard their stories and assumed how horrible it must have been when the big bad wolf came for their livelihoods. I am glad they got out of running a business because it is not for the weak. If you are an SP or LLC with pass through, and you are not able to make it with a personal AGI of over $250K, something is very wrong.

Actually, it cost me $132,000 personally. I keep enough float that it's not an issue, but I'm pretty sure I could use that money better than the California government can use it.

Considering business get to deduct their expenses, it sounds like poor planning on their part, being over stretched with debt.

Uh, how in the HELL do you PLAN for a RETROACTIVE tax?!?!?

As a small business owner myself, I don't have sympathy for those that run companies on the edge because anything can happen to wipe you out. They should have gone to their bank and tapped their line of credit or gotten a bridge loan. If they are not in the financial position to have access to either of those sources of cash, they should not have gone into business.

Obviously, you don't run a cash flow business; you don't run a small car mechanic, or a hair salon, or a laundromat or a Subway or Quizno's franchise.

Tech companies offer the 401k for retirement purposes. RSUs are used as form of incentive compensation. If these people are using an RSU for retirement purposes, they need to find a competent financial adviser. If people don't understand the risks with RSUs and sign the grant agreement, they only have themselves to blame. Worst case, reject the grant.

You can't possibly retire in California on a 401K, or even a 401K + social security. If they raised the contribution caps SUBSTANTIALLY, then yes, maybe you could, but unless you are a total fiscal idiot, you have to realize that 401K + SSI is not even going to cover the property tax on a home in San Francisco.

Wow, that is some type of crazy. This is the sky is falling trope that the conservative and libertarian groups like to throw around. The wealthy have not left in droves. Elon Musk still lives in Bel Air, Tim Cook still live in Palo Alto, Larry Ellison still lives in Woodside. The people leaving the state in droves are in the bottom 50% and those hitting their retirement age, and this is due to the cost of living.

The people you are citing have more money than God. They aren't "millionaires", they're billionaires, and they can take the hit, since most of their income is sheltered anyway.

But where's Eduardo Saverin living again? Oh yeah, he gave up his US citizenship because he was (effectively) paid $67M by the state of California alone to do it (and another $30M or so by the fed).

There is plenty more on this subject if you care to look.

In the Tank: A Statistical Analysis of Media Bias

It is equally fascinating to examine the degree to which members of the news media have supported Democrat or liberal/Left candidates and causes, both at the ballot box and with their checkbooks:

  In 1964, 94 percent of media professionals voted for Democrat Lyndon Johnson over Republican Barry Goldwater.[17]
  In 1968, 86 percent voted for Democrat Hubert Humphrey over Republican Richard Nixon.[18]
  In 1972, 81 percent voted for Democrat George McGovern over the incumbent Nixon.[19]
  In 1976, 81 percent voted for Democrat Jimmy Carter over Republican Gerald Ford.[20]
  In 1980, twice as many cast their ballots for Carter rather than Republican Ronald Reagan.[21]
  In 1984, 58 percent supported Democrat Walter Mondale, whom Reagan defeated in the biggest landslide in presidential election history.[22]
  In 1988, White House correspondents from various major newspapers, television networks, magazines, and news services supported Democrat Michael Dukakis over Republican George H.W. Bush by a ratio of 12-to-1.[23]
  In 1992, those same correspondents supported Democrat Bill Clinton over the incumbent Bush by a ratio of 9 to 2.[24]
  Among Washington bureau chiefs and congressional correspondents, the disparity was 89 percent vs. 7 percent, in Clinton’s favor.[25]
  All told, White House correspondents during the late ’80s and early ’90s voted for Democrats at 7 times the rate at which they voted for Republicans.[26]
  In a 2004, poll of campaign journalists, those based outside of Washington, D.C., supported Democrat John Kerry over Republican George W. Bush by a ratio of 3-to-1. Those based inside the Beltway favored Kerry by a 12-to-1 ratio.[27]
  In a 2004 nationwide poll of 300 newspaper and television journalists, 52 percent supported Kerry, while 19 percent supported Bush.[28]
  In a 2008 survey of 144 journalists nationwide, journalists were 8 times likelier to make campaign contributions to Democrats than to Republicans.[29]
  A 2008 Investors Business Daily study put the campaign donation ratio at 11.5-to-1, in favor of Democrats. In terms of total dollars given, the ratio was 15-to-1.[30]

These numbers are nothing short of astonishing. It is exceedingly rare to find, even in the most heavily partisan voting districts in the United States, such pronounced imbalances in terms of votes cast or dollars earmarked for one party or the other.

Well, it turns out that the protesters were 100% right on that one.

It only "turns out" that way, because those same people, who protested it back then, also run major media outlets. Do you suppose, that Time-magazine's reporter could've written: "We were all morons doing the bidding of America's enemies"?

No, the most you could get 10 years after he went protesting, was to admit, their protest was coordinated — though it is unclear by who...

Bush II and the neo-con war criminals

Please, what "war crimes" are you talking about? Saddam Hussein violated the cease-fire agreement of 1992 so many times, Clinton should've resumed shooting in his time. No, it was no "war crime". But let's not get too side-tracked...

much trouble beating Vladimir Putin in a global popularity contest

Every little bit counts. Like I said, Putin does not need a "win" — a "tie" would be sufficient. And Westerners have always been gullible — the generation calling Bush "war criminal" was raised by morons seriously equating Joseph McCarthy to Lavrenty Beria...

Or is it that invading a distant nation for its oil wealth

Ah, I should have known... Where there are "war crimes", "war for oil" can not be far behind — like Moon-landing denials it just would not die. For 10 years Saddam Hussein was prevented from selling his oil. All we had to do to get it was to agree to lifting the sanctions — which would've been much cheaper than war. Instead, we went after oil-tycoons for breaking the embargo.

Of course, it was "better" — for we didn't annex anything. But see, win an argument, just use a (false) tu quoque to tie your opponent. And you are now doing (or trying to do) the same to me...

peninsula that was recently part of Russia

Score another one for Kremlin! Last time Crimea was part of Russia was 1954 — or 60 years ago. Before that, in 1918, it was part of Ukraine (36 years earlier). So, which one was "recent"?

and is still full of Russians

It is just as full of ethnic Ukrainians now, but, more importantly, achieving that nice White appearance required ethnic cleansing it off Crimean Tatars, who were only allowed to return by the newly-independent Ukraine in 1990-ies. They are now in trouble again — suspected by the occupiers for their loyalty to Ukraine.

So what if it is "full of Russians"? Texas, Arizona, and California are full of Mexicans — would some new Santa Anna be justified invading those states and organizing a referendum?

Khrushchev should never have given it to Ukraine.

Yes, and Romanov should not have sold Alaska — did you just pre-emptively justify Russian invasion into US? Can Japan now use the example to take back Kuril Islands? Japanese special forces may be just as "polite" as Russians were in Crimea and, once the occupation succeeds, arranging a "referendum" i

It is just as full of ethnic Ukrainians now, but, more importantly, achieving that nice White appearance required ethnic cleansing it off Crimean Tatars, who were only allowed to return by the newly-independent Ukraine in 1990-ies. They are now in trouble again — suspected by the occupiers for their loyalty to Ukraine.

So what if it is "full of Russians"? Texas, Arizona, and California are full of Mexicans — would some new Santa Anna be justified invading those states and organizing a referendum?

Khrushchev should never have given it to Ukraine.

Yes, and Romanov should not have sold Alaska — did you just pre-emptively justify Russian invasion into US? Can Japan now use the example to take back Kuril Islands? Japanese special forces may be just as "polite" as Russians were in Crimea and, once the occupation succeeds, arranging a "referendum" i

Peter Hammond via David Horowitz seems like, really.

Why leave it to the papers? Why leave it to the (cowardly according to American opinion) French?

EVERYONE should put one of Charlie Hebdo's caricature onto one's homepage.

This one seems to be fitting especially if you are a Jew (Texts reads in my miserable translation "You shall not critizise us").

Another nice one reads again miserably translated "Darling, I 'm just downstairs for 5 Minutes to search for that Journal" (not sure that actually is from Charlie Hebdo but it came up on google).

If you want others, especially if you are a Muslim and consider the above not annoying enough, there are more examples although lacking translation.

I'm not trying to defend them, they're as ridiculous a caricature of villainy as you can get, but they're a product of the east west dynamic much more than a product of Islam.

Right .....

ISIS Jihadis Get ‘Slavery for Dummies’

One of the biggest problems the West has is recognizing them for what they are based on their actions and who they say they are as opposed to what the politically correct nonsense being published in the West says about them.

Unfortunately it isn't just ISIS, Al Qaida, and company.

figures that businesses and governments use to make decisions

What is it with you, guys? So many posts trying to rebut mine, and none offering much in the way of citations. What figures? Which governments?

Most economists believe that climate action costs are negligible

That governments — and government-employed economists believe in something, that justifies expanding governmental control over citizens is not at all surprising. Conflict-of-interest much? And even they can't offer much more than belief...

starting with all the beachfront property

You mean, property like this? Or that's on the West coast — must be entirely different, yeah...

Elizabeth Warren's work on "The Two Income Trap" has shown the government's figures on the cost of living to be genocidally wrong. When I say genocidally wrong I mean the absence of children that contributes to "the labor shortage" is due to income redistribution from the middle classes to the increasing centralization of wealth among the upper 1%. Ricardo's "iron law of wages" was formulated in a time when "subsistence" could not cut into replacement reproduction due to the lack of birth control. The conscientious fraction of the population will respond to a lowering of real family income relative to the cost of replacement child rearing by ceasing to have children. This is what Warren's work shows is exactly what happened to the Baby Boomers when it came time for them to plan their families. To further import foreign workers to fill the "labor shortage" when it is already demonstrably the case that lowered _real_ wages has resulted in quasi-genocide of the populations being replaced is no longer excusable as mere ignorance by policy planners, if, indeed, it ever was excusable.

Is it the Internet?

It would be a mistake to assume, the problem is unique to our period in history. USSR was conducting its covert propaganda campaigns decades before, and they weren't the first to invent such methods either.

For example, compare the world's reaction to American invasion of Korea — to prevent Communists from taking over the country — with the same sort of thing in Vietnam a few years later... The motivation was the same, the methods were the same, the goals were the same — what little differences existed, they were immaterial.

And yet, the Vietnam war was denounced by so many, it remains a "black" page of American history, wheres Korean war is, generally, acceptable... Characters of "M.A.S.H." maybe skeptical of the events around them, but nobody claims, the US was evil to do, what it did — in stark contrast to anything having to do with Vietnam. What gives? By the time of Vietnam war, USSR had enough influence to begin working-up the outrage...

The education system?

It is no secret, that to change public opinion on a matter, it is best to start in schools (if you have time). Leftists have taken to that in spades — having a government job naturally appeals to Illiberals... They certainly are entrenched in the education system now, but that's a consequence of Russia's help for (and guidance of) anti-Americans world-wide — not the reason.

Today the same contrasts — and the double-standards — continue. When the US invaded Iraq in 2003, the world's streets exploded in outrage. When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, the reaction on the street — both in the US and in Europe — is notable by its absence. Are some invasions better than others? Or is it simply that some invaders have a world-wide network of influence over the loudest mouths most likely to riot, while others do not?

Maybe the population of useful idiots hasn't changed, it's just that now they have a voice.

They always had a voice. Internet is just another medium for it...

Absolutely positive?

A close relative of mine was declared "special" student (aka "short bus") and assigned to a "special" class. He was, indeed, "special" but he was not dumb. Unfortunately the school — in a perfectly wealthy (and highly Illiberal) town — treated all "special" students the same so, when he refused to do a dumb math classwork, the teacher sent his parents a note to the effect, that their son's development is slow and he, unfortunately, will never amount to much.

A few years later he entered MIT and, after graduating, proceeded to a PhD program (in Math) in one of the Ivy League colleges. He is still "special" socially, but he is a mathematical genius... His parents still have that dumb teacher's note.

which the researchers argue could help close achievement gaps between at-risk students and more affluent students

Ah, never mind. The "at-risk" was an euphemism for "poor". Sure... Never mind the single-parenthood — a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle — if only we had the money to play more music to these kids! The best we can expect, I suppose, from a University, that lists a couple of actual unabashed domestic terrorists among professors — one of them in charge of "Children and Family Justice Center", whatever that is...

Please be sufficiently terrified and not notice it's a sham caused by western meddling in the 1st place.

Many problems in the world are either caused or exacerbated by ignorance of the sort that you have just demonstrated. Al Qaida's goals have nothing to do with what the West does or has done, other than repelling the Muslim invasions 500+ years ago. They want to rule the world, and that means taking over places they don't rule now. Pretending the problem is something other than what it actually is will be very likely to have unfortunate results. The Islamists are teaching their children that they will retake the lands they formerly ruled, and eventually control it all. Now there is a key point here: it doesn't matter if you believe them, believe that they actually believe that, or that they will succeeed. They do believe it, and will act on it, so Western societies and the rest of the world had better be ready for it.
