Stasi: It's time for the world to band together and beat down that cancer ISIS — with something more than just a hashtag

When the primitive beasts of ISIS began systematically attempting to destroy civilization, President Obama called it the “JV team.”
When the JV team began slaughtering thousands of people in faraway places and in what is now a full-fledged holocaust, the world turned away. Those people weren’t us.
When ISIS committed public rapes and beheadings of those who wouldn’t conform to their twisted, sick form of Islam, it was front page in newspapers and on media screens. Then the “civilized” world scrolled down for more stories about the Kardashians.
When the useless UN reported that ISIS pigs had enslaved and sold women and girls, UN diplomats continued to dine out on their fat expense accounts, probably discussing the horror of it all.
When the ISIS primitives took chainsaws, sledgehammers, bulldozers and explosives to Mesopotamian artifacts and temples in the cradle of civilization – burning libraries in Mosul in one of the most devastating acts against literature since the burning of the library at Alexandria in 48 B.C., and obliterating the ancient and glorious city of Palmyra – we all thought, damn, what a shame.
When Boko Haram Islamists kidnapped 276 schoolgirls in Nigeria (reportedly at least 2,000 have been taken), the world responded by making a hashtag: #BringBackOurGirls.
When Al Qaeda slaughtered 17 people in the Charlie Hedbo attacks, yet another hash tag: #JeSuisCharlie.
When ISIS brought down a Russian airliner last month, killing 224 people, we sympathized but felt safe on home ground.
All these compromises of mass rationalization that began on Sept. 11, 2001, have kept us living in a false reality. And it’s time to wake the hell up.
After 9/11 we were spoon-fed formula that our intelligence had been caught off guard. When two bombs went off at the Boston Marathon, killing three and injuring 264, it was a terrible slipup. Ditto Benghazi.
And now we just had another slaughter in Paris. This time ISIS left 129 dead and scores injured.
And yet after 14 years of radical Islamist attacks, none of the threatened countries — from the U.S. to Europe to Russia and the Middle East — have banded together to fight our common enemy. Instead we continue to fight, threaten and piss at each other.

Why isn’t intelligence being shared to root out radical extremists who want our common destruction?
This enemy, like the human body itself, is made up of countless cells. But like a body invaded by cancer, these cells are multiplying out of control and we need a team approach, as they say in medicine, to kill the cancer.
ISIS can be done in, ironically enough, by friends and enemies banding together to defeat a common enemy. ISIS can’t be killed with a hashtag. It won’t die by keeping our intelligence to ourselves. We can’t let civilization end in the cradle of civilization by keeping secrets.
As Martin Luther King Jr. said, “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” And by bombing the s--t out of them.
SEMPER FIB: OH, HILL NO
