Ex-CIA Head: ‘I Wouldn’t Be Surprised’ if ISIS Attacks the U.S. This July 4th
Truth Revolt ^ | 6.29.2015 | Mark Tapson

The Blaze reports that former CIA head Michael Morell said today he “wouldn’t be surprised” if there’s a terrorist attack in the United States over the upcoming Fourth of July weekend.

The FBI and Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin Friday warning of heightened concerns over potential terrorist attacks during the holiday weekend. ABC News reported that the bulletin said Independence Day could appear to extremists to defame the Prophet Muhammad and would “likely result in threats or plans to conduct violent extremist acts.” The bulletin also warned government and military officials to be cautious of their social media posts over the weekend.

Former CIA Deputy Director Morell told CBS’ This Morning that while such warnings go out routinely, ”there’s nothing routine about this particular one to me.”

I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re sitting here a week from today talking about an attack over the weekend in the United States. That’s how serious this is.

Morell noted that there have been some 50 people arrested in the U.S. within the last year with some tie or allegiance to the Islamic State group, which has also issued a “call to arms” during Ramadan:

There’s a lot of people out there who are seeing themselves as aligned with ISIS. Number two, you have this ISIS call to arms during Ramadan. We are right in the middle of Ramadan, call to arms, conduct attacks against our enemies, so I’m worried about this one.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said today that there are no credible threats on Fourth of July celebrations this weekend. http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/fbi-and-homeland-security-warn-of-potential-july-4th-terror-attacks

And this is an even better reason for Americans to exercise their right to self defense by carrying a firearm.

ISIS doesn’t need to attack us to destroy us. All it has to do is sit back and let the Supreme Court and the President destroy us.

Omar & Achmed have something planned for us “infidels”, so I’ll be carrying on July 4th, & it won’t be to add to the noise of fireworks.

Too obvious....they’ll strike on some weird day when no would think anything at all would happen in some heartland city not all wired to respond the way NYC is.(ie Peoria, Il on any sunday in August). Just my 2 cents!

Why would they send a warning when:

1. they REFUSE..., to secure the border knowing this threat exist. Which means if it happens..., Then YOU KNOW WHO ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN.

2. They DO NOT CARE about American people. All they want is more power through catastrophic events. Thus, letting the bad guys win by taking away more of our freedoms in the name of “security”. Remember what Ben Franklin said about freedom and security. Oh but the former CIA head said were about to get hit again despite the billions spent on security. Just goes to show you. Giving them more money does NOTHING for security.

3. They financed the terrorists (see post #2 with McCain Collaborating withe the head of ISIS in 2012)

4. They supplied weapons to the terrorists (think of all the U.S. weapons in ISIS hands and see post #2), and

5. They train them too (thank you Saudi Arabia and Turkey)....

This is the most corrupt government in U.S. history, and EVERYONE.., knows it.
