Stars and Stripes Forever?

Or will the Hammer and Sickle fly triumphantly over American Soil?

Be aware. Be wary. Understand what you are seeing and do not allow yourselves to become complacent. The country you save may be your own.

I’ve been away from TM for far too long. I have a lot to catch up on.

Developing credible threat from ISIS Texas - El Paso region

Ft Bliss has heightened security -

According to AlertsUSA - 8/29 - DHS / FBI warning law enf nationwide of imminent terror threat involving car bombs. Threat focus is possible ISIS cell operating in Juarez, Mexico.

Judicial Watch has issued warning about terror threat - unproven source of information - focusing on the Juarez/El Paso area. However, may be supported by the increased security at Ft Bliss.

ISIS cell also reported in Juarez and increased communications with Mexican drug cartels

INcreased discussions about attacks and referencing 9/11. This increase in chatter has been common since 2001, however with the assault on the Libyan consulate on 9/11, the meteoric rise in ISIS and the insanely open borders some attempt may be made.

Threats range from car bombs, attacks upon populated locations (school, shopping malls, etc). If an ISIS organized attack takes place, there are plenty of ‘lone wolf’ follow-ons that can be expected in the days afterwards.

In the midst of this is the increase in British Threat level - scoffed by some as an over reaction - however is a stated target along with the U.S.

Too much going on, sadly.

From DOD Press Briefing today regarding recent missile strikes in Amerli region of Iraq:

“target was Adam Gadahn”

“no confirmation...yet”

[Oorang]

Adam Gadahn, i.e. goat boy from California?

Whatever happened to Nabil El-Shukrijumah?

[Oorang]

Sorry, meant Adnan Shukrijumah

[Velveeta]

I looked up Shukrijumah a few weeks ago, curious as to any news regarding him as well. Haven’t seen anything at all on him or his location.

Let’s hope we got Goat Boy, at least.

[Oorang]

Thanks Vel. I couldn’t find anything regarding Shukrijumah more recent than 2010. Not good, he is far more dangerous than goat boy, IMO.

[Velveeta]

Correction - looks like I heard the DOD report incorrectly.

Apparantly it is alShabaab leader Ahmed Godane (not Adam Gadahn) who was targeted.

My apologies. Will clean out my ears now.

[Velveeta]

*apparently*
Now it appears I can’t even spell. LOL

[Oorang]

That’s okay, all those middle eastern names sound alike :-)

Is Obama playing golf?

[Godzilla]

Is Obama playing golf?

When isn't he is the question

[Rushmore Rocks]

I just heard on FOX News that U.S. intel is picking up “increased chatter”, as happened prior to 9/11.

Not a good omen.

[Godzilla]

I just heard on FOX News that U.S. intel is picking up “increased chatter”, as happened prior to 9/11.

Understood - remember though that there have been lots of times when 'increased chatter' has been reported and nothing has panned out. Important indicator though needs additional verifiable intel.

[Velveeta]

Thanks, RR. I heard that as well. I’m more worried about the moment the chatter goes silent.

Regardless, time to stock up on some preparedness items this week.
