Message From Tom Trento

A MESSAGE FROM TOM TRENTO “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way. ” Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to communicate my view about the global clash of civilizations through a fair amount of media interviews. Inevitably the host asks me about problems that are adding to the demise of the West. Invariably, I get on the subject of quality leadership in America and the lack thereof. I usually explain that there is a corresponding relationship to the need for leadership and the social conditions of the moment. The more social disorder, whether financial or cultural, the more of a need for those “who know the way, go the way and show the way”. One is hard-pressed to find a historic period that is potentially as cataclysmic as the one in which we live. Certainly, each age had their relative “apocalyptic” scenarios, but only this age has a thermonuclear modifier which set us apart from millennia past. It is against this backdrop that – The United West exemplifies itself as, unique, distinct and “like no others” when it comes to developing the complete, modern-day information warrior. If the Muslim Brotherhood is true to its manifesto, engaging in a “civilization jihad,” against the West, then it is the height of foolishness to think as though we are not engaged in a knock-down-drag-out, battle for the American way of life. They are at war. We better be too. Yet this war, against Shariah Islam, whether propagated by the Supreme Guide of the Brotherhood, the local Imam at the “peaceful” mosque, or a writer at the New York Times, is not fought with bombs and bullets, but with brains and courage, as it is, above all else an information war. Stated simply, the information in conflict is whether America is better off sticking with that man-made, fallible, intellectually dusty, U.S. Constitution, or whether America ought to experience a divine epiphany (often at the business end of the scimitar) and bow to the infallibility of Allah’s directly spoken word, a word that provides all rules for all life for all time, the Qur’an. Though on its surface, to the common man, the clear thinker, this contrast seems silly, reality teaches that the common man, the clear thinker is busy providing for loved ones, thus leaving the influencing of social institutions to the elite among us, those who will not call a Muslim terrorist, a terrorist, even if he brutally murders his fellow (unarmed) soldiers, while shooting and shouting Allahu Akbar! To fight and win on this asymmetric battlefield takes an individual who is grounded in doctrine and directed by principle. There are no newcomers at The United West. We are seasoned activists with a mastery of the academics and a passion for confrontational engagement. Yep, you heard me right. A passion for a lawful confrontation with an ideological enemy who is brazen enough to “assault” the essence of what unites the many into the one, the US Constitution. Not on our watch, now while we still have breath. I am honored to be part of the team with these information warriors, the best of the best. A band of brothers … and sisters! When asked to go a mile, they go two. When asked to drop everything and go help someone in need, the next sound you hear is the starting of their car. When asked, to go alone, into a mosque or Islamic event and gather information, they do so, fearlessly. Leaders, tough, courageous, everyone. When I’m asked how so much can be accomplished with so little, I smile. It has been my experience in life (and probably yours) that when a group of people is united in a common cause, unconcerned about personal accolades, but preoccupied with mission success and group safety, those individuals undergo a metamorphosis, to a rock-solid, laser-focused team that cannot, will not, be defeated.

In The United West, I present, just such a TEAM. I am confident that when properly funded our Team can increase its footprint and activism impact exponentially, as most of the amazing accomplishments over the past years have been the result of a limited, volunteer effort. Humbly, America and Israel do not have the luxury of having the quality of this Team operating on a limited, part-time basis, in such dangerous and deadly days. I make that statement because I know how small the universe is of those who are like the folks on our team. The only way The United West can accomplish our mission as articulated herein is to provide the assets necessary for this team, to advance into battle, on a full-time basis! A significant component of our impact-oriented activism in 2018 will be the regular use of our fully owned, first-class TV studio. We have the equipment, know-how, and experience to produce investigative stories, special reports or full-blown documentaries. Whether it is our aggressive video exposes’ or our ability to infiltrate the organizations of those who seek to destroy America, an interview on the radio or a speech at a rally, all The United West does have the objective of defending America and Israel! In a constitutional republic, we implement our ideological and informational revolution not with violence, but with the victory, at the ballot box. Victory, as we know, flows from leadership. America is sorely in need of high-caliber leaders. From the bottom of my heart to the tip of the spear, I maintain, that our team, The United West are “leaders who know the way, go the way, and show the way.” May God Bless those who lead and those who follow. Tom Trento, May 2018

History

THE UNITED WEST HISTORY Beginning with the Florida Security Council in 2007, Tom Trento’s team quickly established a national impact through speaking, writing, video presentations, grassroots activism and investigative reporting. With trips to Europe in 2009, relationships were developed which resulted in a united effort to fight the encroachment of Shariah Islam in North America and Europe. In mid-2010 it became apparent that the national and international activity of “Team Trento,” had expanded beyond the borders of Florida. Therefore, the extensive effort went into developing an organization The United West (TUW) functioning as an “umbrella entity,” overseeing and managing coordinated divisions, all based upon unifying principles but lean and efficient in its implementation.

Objectives

Strategic Objectives:

  • Enact laws at the Federal, State and Municipal levels, consistent with the First Amendment, to halt the expansion of Shariah law in the USA and other Free Nations.
  • Protect Israel, the world’s only Jewish State and an island of Human Rights, Religious Liberty and Democracy in an international sea of authoritarian, Islamist intolerance.
    • Defuse US pressure for a Two-State Suicide – the creation of a sovereign, armed Islamic state in Judea and Samaria, at the very heart of ancient, Biblical Israel – by supporting the Trump Administration’s pro-Israel policies.
    • De-fund UNRWA, the harmful UN agency for radicalizing Palestinian refugees, and shift the USA’s 40% contribution to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in order to stop terrorism.
    • Support any necessary Israeli air strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities controlled by an anti-Semitic, genocidal regime.
    • Support the US-Israeli alliance, in accord with multiple Congressional resolutions, and through President Trump’s Relocation of the US Embassy in 2018 to Israel’s capital city of Jerusalem from Tel Aviv.
    • Prepare Americans for enormous pressure on the US-Israeli alliance when/if Islamic terrorists begin hitting soft targets in the USA (subways, trains, buses, schools, shopping centers, chemical plants).
  • Process Islamic terrorists as Military Combatants, rather than as domestic criminals.
  • Awaken the West, especially American citizens, communities, churches,  and university students, to the clear and present danger of violent, coercive Islam.

Western Civilization or European Civilization, refers to cultures of European origin, especially western European culture. Primarily based upon the Greek, Roman and Judeo-Christian worldview, the concept of western culture is generally linked to the classical definition of the Western world. SHARIAH ISLAM (“way” or “straight path”) is the sacred law of Islam. Muslims believe Shariah is derived from two primary sources of Islamic law: the divine revelations set forth in the Qur’an, and the example set by the Islamic Prophet Muhammad in the Sunnah. Problem Shariah Islam is dedicated to the complete subjugation or destruction of Western Civilization. Solution THE UNITED WEST is dedicated to protecting and advancing Western Civilization.Western culture is the set of literary, scientific, political, artistic and philosophical, religious and military principles which set it apart from other cultural spheres. Shariah Islam is the set of principles that a complete opposite of the Western Culture values.

Mission

OUR MISSION The United West (TUW) is dedicated to defending and advancing Western Civilization against the kinetic and cultural onslaught of Shariah Islam so that America remains a land of freedom, justice, and opportunity grounded in the principles of our Constitutional Republic. The United West has taken up this challenge because the ever increasing forces of darkness, whether political, social, or philosophical seek to destroy, subvert or subjugate all that Americans hold to be right and true. The United West will succeed in this mission by educating, training and activating Americans to stand on proven principles, guide public opinion and amend public policy so that leadership is selected which affirm the canons of jurisprudence. Specifically, THE UNITED WEST educates and activates freedom minded people, wherever they may live, to effectively develop strategies and tactics which propagate exceptionalism of Western Civilization over and against the totalitarian choke-hold of Shariah Islam. Immediately, our objectives include the mobilization of Americans and Europeans to stand firmly for the defense and protection of the State of Israel. THE UNITED WEST combines top-shelf academics with a military-grade activism to distinguish itself from every counter-jihad organization. There is no other nongovernmental organization like it, in the world.
