ISIS' Next Target: The Suez Canal
Following ISIS blitzkrieg in which it took over nearly half of Iraq and a third of Syria in the blink of an eye, at which point it created its own Islamic State Caliphate resulting in Obama's own personal war against the jihadists, some have wondered what is ISIS' next step: surely its leadership will not merely stagnatte as one after another US predator drone bomb away the capital Reqqa until ISIS figurehead leader al-Baghdadi is killed or gravely wounded. To be sure, the one thing ISIS, which stunned the world with the speed of its ascent, can not afford is to stand still.
So what is next on the strategic timeline for the Islamic State?
According to one source, Al Arabiya, which cites Egyptian experts, the answer is none other than the Suez Canal, and the country it is located in: Egypt.
“There is definitely a threat from ISIS to Egypt,” Mohammed Badr, a professor of political science at the University of Germany told Al Arabiya News, adding that the group has the country in its “line of sight.”
“All extremist groups represent a danger for Egypt,” Badr said, adding that “ISIS, the Muslim Brotherhood, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis [an Islamist militant group] are all dangerous for Egypt but the level of their threat is different.”
More details from Al-Arabiya:
One alleged ISIS militant took to social media to warn Egypt that it should be expecting a “surprise” soon. “Except a surprise in Egypt within days,” alleged ISIS member Abu Siyaf al-Masry wrote on his personal Twitter account, according to the Cairo-based daily al-Masry al-Youm.
These online threats are seen by some analysts as a means to mark their presence in Egypt, despite their absence on the ground. “They don’t have any presence in Egypt until now, which is why they use the internet and social media platforms to interact with Egyptians and spread their influence,” Mohssen al-Faham, a political analyst and commentator for Cairo-based daily al-Gomhuria, told Al Arabiya News.
In recent weeks, the Islamist group started showing notable signs that it might be interested in expanding its influence in Egypt.
ISIS' strategy on how to infiltrate Egypt, if indeed that is the case, is simple: ISIS has started to communicate with and coach Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, Egypt’s deadliest militant group, and share advice with it on how to create secret cells.
“ISIS and Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis are linked on an ideological level even though the group is not believed to be officially linked to ISIS insurgents,” Badr said.
“Their exchange is another sign that shows a clear threat to Egypt from ISIS,” he added.
While the west is traumatized by three beheadings of western journalists in the past month, in Egypt this is almost a daily occurrence, especially if the word "Israel" is uttered. Last week, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, which is based in the Sinai Peninsula claimed to have beheaded four men accused of being Israeli Mossad spies in a video that seemed to have been inspired by the methods of ISIS.
Meanwhile Egypt, already deep in political turmoil with the military regime doing its best to cleanse all representatives of the US-backed Muslim Brotherhood (remember them?), appears to not be too concerned about the ISIS threat. Specifically, the possibility of an ISIS offensive was downplayed by an Egyptian Interior Ministry spokesman, who told Al Arabiya News that al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood were “the two main terrorist organizations” that threatened Egypt.
“ISIS cannot reach a country like Egypt given the cohesion between people and the unity of the nation,” Interior Ministry spokesman Hany Abdellatif told Al Arabiya News, adding that the group targets weak, failed states.
“But we [the Interior Ministry] are still getting threats of terrorism and must remain vigilant as the region is ablaze,” Abdellatif said.
And while Egypt may or may not be the next territorial expansion for ISIS, a new threat is emerging in the Middle East/North Africa region.
According to Reuters, a new armed group calling itself the Caliphate Soldiers in Algeria has split from al Qaeda's North African branch and sworn loyalty to the radical breakaway group Islamic State fighting in Syria and Iraq. A breakaway of key Algerian commanders from Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, known as AQIM, would show deepening rivalry between al Qaeda's core command and the Islamic State over leadership of the transnational Islamist militancy. As we expected several months ago, as Al Qaeda's reputation in the terrorist world plummets and is replaced by the "bloodthirsty" ISISites, more and more splinter terrorist groups will gravitate to the "cool, new" clique.
In a communique, AQIM central region commander Khaled Abu Suleimane, whose real name is Gouri Abdelmalek, claimed leadership of the new group, joined by an AQIM commander of an eastern region in Algeria, where the al Qaeda wing has its base. "You have in the Islamic Maghreb men if you order them they will obey you," Suleimane said in reference to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State. "The Maghreb has deviated from the true path."
The communique was posted on jihadi websites. Algerian officials did not immediately comment on the statement.
The Algeria splinter group is the latest to side with Baghdadi over al Qaeda's aging chieftain Ayman al-Zawahri, as the Islamic State appeals to younger militants with successes in gaining territory in Iraq and Syria.
Finally, to cement the fact that Al Qaeda is no longer even remotely relevant to anyone, and certainly not the CIA, Site Intelligence reported earlier that Al-Qaeda released its annual video for the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and in this installment, placed group official Hossam Abdul Raouf in the prominent role of lead speaker, and denied reports of its waning influence and strength. Translated: Al Qaeda is dead, replaced by its even more ferocious, if mostly for populist purposes, spin offs, ISIS and now, the Caliphate Soldiers.
And if and when the Islamic State and its Caliphate Soldiers take over the Suez Canal, watch as all those Brent shorts, many of which are rumored to be originating at Liberty 33 itself, suddenly get a margin call.

If the canal is lost , it will probably never be reopened . See why in
http://andreswhy.blogspot.com/2007/05/suez-and-canal.html
With such bullish news, Oil is sure to open a full $10 a barrel cheaper!
Really... ISIS?.. What kind of drugs is the author on... These Jew motivated articles are much more believable when you substitute the word "boogeyman" for "ISIS"...
Another day, another war for the warmongers: Ex-CIA Chief Hayden says 5,000 Covert ‘Boots on Ground’ in Syria by Year’s End
Good New Everybody!
It's all taken care of.
PM Abbott of Australia announced they were coalescing 600 "folks" to help fight ISIS, whothefuck ever they might be.
If they boogeyman really wanted to get back at the Jews he would bomb their Federal Reserve/Wall St shell company Ponzi and Counterfeiting operation...
Heavy fear mongering. Egypt has quite a bit of US made weapons and if they were smart would beefing up security. ISIS is not omnipotent, nor do I even know how real they are.
According to the News, ISIS JUST PURCHASED THE ENTIRE FLEET OF SPACE SHUTTLES AND IS TRANSPORTING THE NORTH AND SOUTH POLES TO MARS
ISIS ultimately wants Saudi Arabia. Now THAT would spell the end of the petrodollar
http://www.planbeconomics.com/2014/09/isis-ambition-may-kill-petrodollar...
This just in: ISIS IS BIGFOOT... And is holding Monsanto hostage as ISIS acquires patent to seed packets...
Hey, hold on....
Sasquatch is real...and native to North America.
ISIS, well...
This just in: ISIS DRILLS HOLE IN OCEAN FLOOR, DRAINS OCEAN...
I call shenanigans, If ISIS really had 35,000 soldiers to take the Canal they would have taken Syria! Iraqis are willing to work with ISIS to get their country back but they are not running to Syria or Saudi, and certainly not to Eqypt.
But, but, the Jews never lie...
Lavrov: ISIS is planning to “edge the whole region of the Middle East into the abyss of religious wars,”
Egypt's Army would kick ISIS arse. ISIS is a fake bogeyman joke.
ISIS with their blue screen beheadings probably shot at Disney's studios by Tarantino the douchebag.
Now you mention blue screen, I bumped on this confusing picture at a forum: http://static.infowars.com/politicalsidebarimage/greenscreen_large.jpg
It reminds me of this free documentary "the war you don't see" from John Pilger about the media role in the Iraq invasion.
In the next studio was George Washington's Freemason Bible used to swear in Emperors of The New Republic
The men who yet comprise ISIS are certainly frail.
Buuut, the ideas behind ISIS are impervious to bombs. In fact, they gain strength from adversity.
TBH, I'm conflicted ... I kinda want 'em to have a lot more success... just to bloody the noses of our home-grown tyrants.
Makes sense that this would send WTI to 90
Hey weather ISIS (The poor saps that they are) know it or not they were created by the USA to scare the living shit out of Saudi Arabia so the Saudis would hang on to the USD. Nothing more nothing less.
Well save for the added bonus of more target practice the the US Airforce.
Sure, gold tomorrow will continue it's sell-off: the world is such a stable place all around...
Of course the Suez Canal is being proclaimed as a target of ISIS. John Kerry was in Egypt yesterday attempting to drum up support.
http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/13/world/meast/kerry-mideast-visit-isis/
Tomorrow there will be a release or a study showing ISIS is a threat to the fjords of Scandinavia with the hope that Denmark, Sweden or Norway will give the anti-ISIS coalition some additional military aid.
I'm waiting for a Frenchy or a German to die l'orange style to hype up some more allies.
ISIS is a Bogeyman they can control.
Clever way to marginalize AQ.
Next Stop. 'Merica! Hug your wives and kiss your babies, the brown boogie men are coming!
You have no fucking idea what you are talking about. It isn't a boogeyman as the EGYPTIAN newspapers (invariably pan Arab and anti Zionist) and political commentators that have been reporting on the killings in the Sinai for the past 16 months. So far about 2,000 dead (including about 600 police/army).
Cairo was my home and I used to travel to Rafah and other parts of the Sinai, don't think I'll be seeing Rafah again. This shit is more dangerous than back in the 80s and 90s (Gamaah el islamiyah was the main culprit back then) and Egypt had several thousand militants travel to Syria during the regime of Morsi. Now they are coming back and bringing their skills to fight the moderate fundamentalist Sisi and his secularist allies.
The Ikhwan (muslim brotherhood) is as broken as Al Qaida in Egypt and the whackjobs are joining ever more fanatical groups. Those groups will align (or join) ISIS and the Suez is a tempting target as it is a massive earner of foreign revenue. Between tourism and the canal Egypt earns most of the money it needs to survive and ISIS can ruin both very quickly.
Right! The Suez fucking Canal.
These psychopathic clowns can't even hold the Mosul Dam...
Listen you Crazy Cat! Think Somali Pirates ^100.
Not even with the help of Somali pirates. Plus these guys don't swim.
You can all relax now, it's safe. I found ISIS behind the refrigerator. Apparently he was looking for mice because I forgot to feed him. Darn cats.
That's because their American agents.... A small peek under the rug will show this is the American creation to destabilize the ME. AND GET ALL THE BLCK GOLD....Three guys get their heads separated from their bodies and all of America wants to go to WAR!!!!!!! See how easy it is with a little MSM BS and retired generals to show up on the Sunday talking heads shows and fuck it man where all in...THE WAR ON TERROR IS A COMPLETE FUCKING LIE....I still believe that they where not beheaded and are in a hiding place in the ME..If not then show the fucking beheadings already...real time with instant replay...this sick fuck place would love that...MORE WAR MORE WAR USA USA USA...
ISIS takes the Suez Canal? Perposterous. They cannot take and hold the canal. The would have to topple Egypt to do that, or vastly grow into a true regional superpower. Stupid article.
ISIS doesn't need to capture the Canal. It just needs to make it unsafe for the foreign ships to transverse. If it becomes too expensive (insurance) to use then the ships will take the long way around the Cape. Sink a laden ship at a narrow point and that becomes a block. If a pissy little boat can damage the USS Cole then a similar attack would sink an oil tanker.
We are not pleased with Sisi. We will sick ISIS on Sisi. ISIS will undo Sisi. We might even have to bomb Sisi if he is too mean to ISIS. If you want Morsi then vote ISIS and not Sisi.

Why don't we go after the nation (Ukraine) that shot down the Malaysian 777 with a fucking jet fighter?
As someone that flies on commercial airliners, that, to me, is way more scary than some nebulous threat to a canal in a desert.
The bullshit narrative is so thin now.
Patience patience... the full report will be out in 2015 and then we can find out who did it after the war.
Good fiction like the 9/11 Report takes time to write you know...

goodluck getting past the egyptian army
ISIS couldn't hold, nor blow up, a single dam. The Egyptians have been used to this kind of thing, since the 7th century. Not buying this one, yet.
I hear they have access to stealth bombers and ballistic missiles...
They recently purchase Boeing corporation GE and Ratheon
I hear from a very liable source that ISIS is dveopling a secret army of kittens. Their evil plan is to video tape them being cute and post all the videos on You Tube and thereby distract the world who will be glued to watching the videos as they steathly take over the eath under our very noses. DO NOT WATCH KITTEN VIDEOS! They are evil, sinister Jihadis working to enslave you!
"ISIS" was filmed in Hollywood. Did they forget to tell everyone again?
You're thinking of "Ishtar."
But that bombed, too.
Your thinking of CNN...
I'm old, so I remember Ishtar when it came out. Wow, it sucked at epic proportions.
It really was a colossal thud.
"You're thinking of "Ishtar."
But that bombed, too."
It bombed, but was not bombed, though it should have been.
Actually they could have blown the dam but they aren't that dumb. Flooding Mosul that they just took control of would be, well, self-defeating. If anybody might want to blow it probably would be those shiites in Baghdad or the Americans.
<- Egyptian military in a false flag power grab.
<- ISIS.
History has seen stranger things. These movements can get started and take a life of their own, but I don't know how dynamic that meme is anymore with the various agencies being so active. Chaos and unintended consequences always make for an interesting mix in war time. Suez or Mecca, either way would make things very exciting.
It's a silly story. How would IS forces even get to the Suez Canal? There are plenty of local groups who could already have done damage if that was the desire.
.
Israeli tourist visas?
CIA C 130s....
ISIS is finished. It will have to be a successor to ISIS.
ISIS has their next target lined up: Crimea. The local branch there goes by the name CRISIS, as you would imagine.
Or, as Redpill said the other day, maybe ISIL will merge with a group called VAG to form VAGISIL.
ISISIS.
no, the pural of ISIS is ISISI
No, you're thinking of Saint FrancISIS of ISISI.
50 years from now ISIS will be or best trade partner, that how WW2 went.
Listen. Don't forget they will "OWN" the world reserve currency, Bitcoin!
We have to nuke 'em first.
You want to avoid any further loss of Western humans.......Nuke the bastards!
Until we get REAL SERIOUS with those Satanic murderers, it is only political bullshit. Get our people out of there and turn that whole area of the world into a glass parking lot.
Why, why, WHY, I ask, would anybody who really wants to end this horror story want to leave even one of those mudering satanic bastards alive????......unless you are one of them.......or REAL STUPID!!!!
Why would we nuke our own puppets? They are" performing" wonderfully!
Note this part of article:
...the one thing ISIS, which stunned the world with the speed of its ascent...
Wasn't surprised at all. Appeared right on que. Fully equipped, with shiny new Toyota Trucks with .50 cal mounted guns, ACU uniforms. And every single one in black masks to hide the fact that they are US mercs. PR wing, really big bank account.
What stuns me is that ANYONE is buying this shit.
You're on it, quad. The beheadings will be on the tube with a Coca Cola banner as backdrop.
If you hear of them using the directed energy weapon that they used on the world trade centers head for the hills.
With the money they have I see them obtaining fake passports.
Then enter serveral countries with the help of Putin.
Unnecessary to enter the United States. We have open borders now. They can walk right in.
There was a guy who pulled a stunt the other week about that. Dressed in black muslim garb, carrying an ISIS flag in one hand and a (fake) severed head in the other, he walked right across the US/Mexico border in front of cameras, people, everything. Nobody stopped him.
Here is Mr. O'Keefe heading into Cleveland posing as an ISIS infiltrator....
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ffe_1410293410
.....Uh......The border is closed!!!!
“The way is shut. It was made by those who are dead…and the dead keep it. The way is shut.”
Fuck Iraq, Syria, Egypt and Algeria. They need to take Ukraine, Croatia, and Khazakstan, and then call themselves ISUCK.
Is that isis or israel they both play for the same team
The Suez canal?
The Egyptian military does not take kindly to usurpers messing with their revenue stream...
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jun/21/egypt-sentences-muslim-brot...
Wahhabism is named after an eighteenth century preacher and scholar, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703–1792).[15] He started arevivalist movement in the remote, sparsely populated region of Nejd,[16] advocating a purging of practices such as the popular cult of saints, and shrine and tomb visitation, widespread among Muslims, but which he considered idolatry, impurities and innovations in Islam.[4][17]Eventually he formed a pact with a local leader Muhammad bin Saud offering political obedience and promising that protection and propagation of the Wahhabi movement, would mean "power and glory" and rule of "lands and men."[18]
saudi is kosher brudder full rabbi certification
D. Mustafa Turan wrote, in The Donmeh Jews, that Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab was a descendant of a family of Donmeh Jews from Turkey. The Donmeh were descendants of followers of the infamous false-messiah of Judaism, Shabbetai Zevi, who shocked the Jewish world in 1666 by converting to Islam. Viewing it as a sacred mystery, Zevi's followers imitated his conversion to Islam, though secretly keeping to their Kabbalistic doctrines. In Europe, the Shabbeteans were eventually led a century later by Jacob Frank, claiming to be a reincarnation of Zevi. And, according to Rabbi Antelman in To Eliminate the Opiate, to them belonged the Rothschilds who had a hand in the founding of the Bavarian Illuminati. The Donmeh community of Turkey were concentrated in the city of Salonika, which became a hotbed of Masonic activity, and from which the Young Turk movement evolved, which aided in the collapse of the Muslim empire of the Ottoman Turks.
Useless facts for $500...
Yes Tony
Problem is that the Muslims cannot accept in their minds that they have been taken for a ride and are in reality being controlled by the Jews.
There is also a public statement by King Abdullah in 1969 i think,that the Jews were their cousins.
When i tell this to a Muslim- he changes the topic.
Both Jews and Muslims claim Abraham as a common ancestor...
And the "ring around the holy meteor" thing in Mecca isn't idolotry?
So confusing.
ISIS attacks & defeats ebola, Nobel Peace Prize awarded to al-BagHead.
Accepting for the absent al-BagHead is Rocky the Ukrainian squirrel.
Phew, I thought they said the Panama Canal....
Not to worry.
China is building a better one through Nicaragua
So they will own two in Central America?
Wow. We are sooooo winning!
has isis found israel on a map yet?
any news what they think of qatar?
when isis invade turkey,israel,qatar and destroy the rabbis who run saudi arabia then we can take um seriously.

We will soon see who Isis is working for.
They could have blown the dam in Iraq and they didn't. The freeway to the Suez canal goes right by Israel. Let's see if they make a pit stop there.
When they get to the Canal, they should blow the locks, right? Let's see if they do that.
Every day in every way they are looking more and more like America's Arab Foreign Legion.
BTW I think they beheaded that English bloke to get a few more no votes in Scotland.
You must ge a geographically challenged yank. The locks are on the Panama Canal. There are no locks on the Suez Canal.
The canal can be blocked, it was for years during the late 60s-early 70s and that lead to the construction of the Cape sized supertankers.
Yes, Effendi, I'm challenged, but more nautically and topographically than geographically.
Don't think I was an advocate for Isis blowing up the dam, or sinking a large tanker in the Suez canal. I was only trying (and still am) to reckon the intentions of this swarm of bearded beheaders.
The image they have portrayed is one of dam blower uppers and canal blockers and yet they seem to avoid, except for destroying mosques, destroying important infrastructure.
Slaving and beheading is their forte, not causing any major damage to the infrastructure of Iraq or Syria (and soon Egypt).
Is that because they anticipate the arrival of their caliphate, or have the US and Saudi Arabia forbidden them that kind of action?
Beheadings are necessary for Americans to see and are entertainment for the Saudis.
The sheeple are terrified and willing to surrender more and more of their freedoms for their peace of mind
They didn't blow the dam because it would have flooded Mosul which they just took control of (duh) and the dam also provides the electricity for the area they control. Please....
Do they still have Mosul?
Maybe, von Clausewitz, if they had blown up the dam they'd still possess Mosul, albeit slightly damp.
And who'd a thunk that these bearded beheaders cared a camel's fart about electricity?
Besides you?
Good luck producing and uploading youtube beheadings without electricty!
I didn't know that dam produced electricity for all the ME.
Anyway, Isis' Washington offices wouldn't be affected.
Well said, very well said.
Which locks?!
There are none of them.
A sunken tanker is as good as a blown lock to a blind horse.
I also have a cat named Isis. Does that mean she's going on the anti-terrorist list?
We are watching you. I mean, we are watching your cat...
It means your cat will go deeper underground. It only will hunt sneakely at the dead of night when everybody is sleeping ;)
ISIS= http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4508223/isis
No. It means you are no eligible for a MIC grant. Congrats.
Keep those claws sharp. Your cat will be a star on YouTube.
There once were some thugs called Isis
Whose beards were crawling with liceus
When asked where they got em
They said: "We first went to Sodom
But the Israelis had much better prices."
Poor Isis. She was the most adored Goddess in antiquity. In Egyptian mythology, Set, the God of Violence, murdered her husband Osiris, and tore his body apart.
Now the most violent have taken her name.
Nonsense. There are targets in the ISIL area which are far more valuable and easier to get than the Suez canal.
Absolutely. This claim is just absurd.
The nonsense part is you two dipshits taking these MIC mercs as some home grown organic response to......something....
These guys arrived ready for business in a matter of months. Like right after the entire planet called bullshit on a war with Syria. Instant Terrorist army magnitudes better than the old fake terror boogy, Al CIA duh. Out of thin air. Doesn't even strike you as the least bit odd?
Assholes. Wake the fuck up.
Isis is US military contractors with beards and turbans.
If you see them standing alongside the canal wavying their guns in the air llike they did at the dam in Iraq, but letting the tankers pass through, then you know they're working for Obama.
Isis is a CIA three pronged invention
1) it scares the crap out of the American electorate.
2) it's a shoehorn for Obama to get back into Syria.
3) when the time comes, they'll be herded into the abattoir, Obama will emerge from the F-15, and personally destroy Isis, like Peter Quinn in 'Homeland'.
Black Mission Accomplished
Yeah.
If they do attack the suez cannal, it will be strickly because the elites want higher oil prices.
I do wish the world would wake up. All people everywhere want peace, only the elite need war to make a living.
A bunch of very rich ship owners just came in their pants!
The MT/NM equation will go through the roof.
But this will not happen, the sugar daddies of ISIS will not allow this kind of disruption to world trade.
thinking ISIS should target ... https://www.readyforhillary.com/
are you ready?? its easier blaiming fuckups on a woman..
Following ISIS blitzkrieg in which it took over nearly half of Iraq
A US-trained and equipped army abandoned its weapons and fled.........shades of Saigon 1975
Will it be any different in Saudi which is trying to get Pakistani troops to defend its tribal kingdom ?
It is easy to move across desert - it requires brutality to hold settlements. Any attack on Egypt will come from newly-liberated Libya
The IS is a land army with no seaports. They may have cells in Egypt, but would have to cross Israel to invade Egypt and capture the canal. Ain't gonna happen anytime soon. They will move in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, or Saudi first.
get in there Barry - sell more inferior defense systems and then "live test" them on the DOD's latest beta technologies
this approach has been done throughout the ages - Rothschilds financed Wellington and Napoleon over the same period
really.... must be getting like the obumbler cirucs with conflicting statements... Baghdadi already said his objectives are Mecca, Jordan and Riyadh.... rather ambitious with just 31000 fighters who look like retards with rifles riding aroud in toyaota pickup trucks....who now hide amongst women and children having been forewarned of bombing plans by the muslim bros inthe white house... obumbler finds it difficult to destroy people he sympathizes with and supports their goals... how long can they maintain and operate the mechanized vehicles... not long... besidese iran and syria and al sadr will kick in soon... lets target al baghdadi and jihadi john... keep em on therun.. level raqqa ... that's where they are..
