The Tiger Team

Update: The event will be live-streamed here.

If you’re anywhere near downtown D.C. tomorrow, you might want to drop by the National Press Club and listen to some well-informed and articulate people discuss their strategy for defeating the Great Jihad.

Below is the announcement sent out today by the Center for Security Policy.

National Security Tiger Team Presents the ‘Secure Freedom Strategy’ for Victory Over the Global Jihad Movement

Says the Plan Reagan Used to Destroy Soviet Communism’s Totalitarian Ideology Can Work Now

(Washington, DC): If there were any lingering doubts that the United States and the rest of the Free World are losing a decades-long war with the Global Jihad Movement (GJM), events of the past week should have put them to rest. Murderous attacks in Europe, warnings by MI5 of more – and worse – to come, there and perhaps here and an intercepted plot to attack the U.S. Capitol are the most obvious indicators.

Less evident, but no less portentous, is the absence of the President of the United States from the Western effort to push back – compounded by his record of accommodation to, and collaboration with, those seeking to impose “blasphemy” and other restrictions driven by their shariah ideology at the expense of Americans’ constitutional freedoms.

Such developments have moved a remarkable, ad hoc group of highly skilled national security professionals to step forward and offer an alternative approach: a strategy for actually countering and defeating totalitarians and their supremacist ideology that has been proven effective in the one environment that matters: the real world.

This “Tiger Team” has been sponsored by the Center for Security Policy, an organization whose mode of operation from its founding 26 years ago has been modeled after the best of America’s military – its elite unconventional warfare units. As the “Special Forces in the War of Ideas,” the Center has pulled together, much as the real special operators would do, sixteen of the best in the business, individuals with unique and necessary skill sets for the mission at hand: Adapting the strategy that defeated the last totalitarian ideology that sought our destruction, Soviet communism.

At a National Press Club conference at noon on Friday, 16 January 2015, ten members of this Tiger Team will introduce and explain the component parts of the Secure Freedom Strategy:

  • Lieutenant General William G. “Jerry” Boykin (U.S. Army, Ret.), former leader of U.S. Special Forces and Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence
  • Admiral James A. “Ace” Lyons (U.S. Navy, Ret.), former Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet and father of the Navy Red Cell counterterrorist unit
  • Fred Fleitz, career intelligence professional who served under William J. Casey at the Central Intelligence Agency
  • Kevin Freeman, Chartered Financial Analyst and best-selling author of Secret Weapon: How Economic Terrorism Attacked the U.S. Stock Market and Why it Can Happen Again
  • Clare Lopez, former Operations Officer in the CIA’s Clandestine Service
  • Jim Hanson, former Army Special Forces technical weapons sergeant
  • Dr. J. Michael Waller, expert on information and psychological warfare, propaganda and influence operations
  • Tommy Waller, combat Marine Force Reconnaissance reservist
  • David Yerushalmi, Esq., co-founder and partner, American Freedom Law Center, and expert on shariah

Frank J. Gaffney, Jr., who formerly acted as the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy under President Reagan and now is president of the Center for Security Policy said of this effort:

President Obama recently justified his abandonment of decades of U.S. policy towards the despotic regime in Cuba on the grounds that, if it hadn’t worked, it needed to be changed. It is beyond dispute that the policy he and his predecessors have pursued towards the Global Jihad Movement, its ideological wellspring – shariah, and its sponsors and enablers is not working. In this case, we actually must make a change.

President Reagan’s successful counter-ideological strategy, formalized in his National Security Decision Directive (NSDD) 75, is one that has worked in the past. In the professional judgment of some of America’s finest national security professionals, as adapted in the Secure Freedom Strategy, the NSDD 75 approach can work now as well, if employed decisively against today’s totalitarian ideology and its adherents.

  1. Under the Obama administration, how long before we have the DOJ prosecuting anyone that holds a meeting entitled “National Security Tiger Team Presents the ‘Secure Freedom Strategy’ for Victory Over the Global Jihad Movement”

    .

  2. Europe seems to be beyond the pale. I pessimistically hope not.

    This seems to be a very positive move. I optimistically hope so. 🙂

      • FWIW…error message at your link indicates “this channel is not available at this time. Please try again later.”

        • I accessed it with no problem on my laptop, a computer infected with the whimsies. IOW, if I can get it on that machine it is available.

          However, those “try later” messages aren’t uncommon.

  3. Reminds me of Heinlein’s “Starship Troopers” when war vets got tired of government [bovine excreta] and took it upon themselves to remedy society.
    It actually could work.

  4. If they use the word “outreach” or the phrase “cooperation with the islamic world” (even once), then everything else they have to say is worthless.

  5. At least in terms of title ideas they need a lift. “Tiger” team could be linked to black’s “Panthers”.

  6. anybody here interested in a work of fiction about the defeat of islam?
    I am being repetitive,but I read twice Nelson Demille’ s ” Operation Wildfire” where a vilain of Jamesbondian spirit plans to nuke the entire islamic world.
    Well, parts of it including Mecca, saving Medina as a menetekel for the survivors.The author frankly admits in his foreword a degree of sympathy for the vilains project.So do I.
