IBTimes: ISIS Vows War Against Saudi Arabia: Islamic State Group Threatens Arab Monarchy After Announcement Of Anti-Terror Coalition

The Islamic State group released videos earlier this week calling for attacks against Saudi Arabia and vowing war against the Arab monarchy after it announced the formation of a 34-member Muslim coalition to combat terrorism. In a new execution video, fighters accuse the Saudi kingdom of joining a coalition of "crusaders," and challenge the nation to send boots into Syria to fight them, various outlets reported Friday.

One of the videos shows a fighter encouraging the beheading of Shiite citizens in Saudi Arabia, followed by the gruesome execution of an alleged Saudi spy. The video flashes to scenes of galloping horses and gun battles. The video is emblazened with the ISIS logo, and SITE Intelligence Group has verified the video, Newsweek reported.

With the Kurds chipping away around Mosul, ISIS stalemated in Anbar, and Russia chipping away in Syria, ISIS is in trouble. So they threaten you, so what. Take precautions and keep trucking.

What a weird week.

Frankenstein and the Cookie Monster visit Russia. Frankenstein says "thanks" in Russian, for what we (nor he) will never know. Cookie Monster shakes Putin's hand while making big googly eyes. Frankenstein stands there looking scared, perhaps concerned that someone was about to be bitten.

Der Furour (nod to Jay) gets all homo with homophobic Putin. Putin plugs his campaign. I'm calling bull$#@^ Editor. This was just too much; even for both those characters

Then the retarded Saudis pull an "anti-terrorist" alliance out of their @$$ of thirty-six countries, some of which aren't even countries, more of which are terrorist grow ops, most of which don't have a friggin clue what Salman the Senile is on about. A couple days later, completely frustrated by the whole thing, the Saudis declare war on... themselves.

Then, just when I'm expecting Rod Serling to wrap the whole riduculous thing up, U.S. specisl forces get the boot from was-Libya while Canadian special forces drop the Beer Fridge Cluster Munition on the Saud...I mean ISIS, and win a battle in Iraq; with Kurdish "help" of course.

If Justin Trudeau says something intelligent before Monday, I'm done with the news.

And the funny thing RRH is that I am limited by time on what I can post. There is so much craziness out there that I only post the serious stuff that will impact us .... the other stuff .... i.e. what is happening in the jungles of Burma, North Korea's version of the Spice Girls leaving Beijing in a huff, an Islamic State radio station in Afghanistan funded by aid money, 3 tons of cocaine found in a sub off the coast of Colombia/Ecuador .... I mean .... the Twilight Zone would look like sanity.

RRH. And as to Canadian politics .... if I was not living here (and not afraid of lawsuits) .... what I am learning "and hearing" is just making my eyes roll .... and these guys are just starting their 4 year mandate.

Sighhh .... maybe I should change this blog from covering wars and conflicts to something else .... like covering food .... or better still .... beer. :)

Awwwww c'mon!!!!

The North Korean Spice Girls?!!!!!

Foolishness is a funny thing. Just when you think it can't get any more ridiculous....

I try really hard not to jump on the anti DPRK band wagon. Not out of some unconditinal admiration for Communist countries, but because I really believe the world needs examples of different societies --- so long as they are not looking to harm others.

I really do believe North Korea makes a lot of noise and pulls a lot of stunts just to get attention. They're kinda like an Asian version of the Baltic states or Ukraine that way. And yes, I know, they're a brutal regime and all that, but the world is full of those.

But Man, they are farrrrrrrrrrr out and just bizarre. This story definitely deserves the Serling Treatment.

Sometimes I wonder when they do goofy $#'+ like this if they're not making fun of us in some twisted (to us) fashion. If I met Un, it'd be hard not to ask him if it all wasn't a gigantic gaudy put on.
