I can’t watch the video at work, but if they target our children, they will unleash their own destruction. We have been gentle thus far in prosecuting this war.
Very interesting! Thanks for posting.
They talk about the two guys in Tampa who got on the school bus...those two students were from USF, same college as the guys they arrested in South Carolina with the explosives were attending.
I just went to check it out (audio off... I’m on a conf call) and started thinking about the book I just finished that had a similar scenario in it (The First Commandment by Brad Thor) and all of a sudden, who do I see in the studio with Glen? Brad Thor. Oy vay!
Can’t wait to get off this call and hear what he has to say.
This is a MUST see for everyone ... the terrorists are profiling our schools, buses, etc. ... to bring terror to our dear children and grandchildren.
From Glenn Beck's site - transcript
"GLENN: Now, Brad, I wanted -- I just want to point out that what we're talking about is not just a bunch of think tankers saying, ooh, this could happen. This is really coming from hard evidence that our Government really does not want us to know per se. I mean, they've been alerting people, but they're been doing cryptically because they don't want widespread panic."
THOR: Well, we talked about things. First of all, we based it on this Al-Qaeda model of being like a shark, how they swim big concentric circles. They don't come right in and bite you.
They collect Intel, getting closer and closer, tighter and tighter in the circles. But before they attack, before they take the bite, they come up and they bump you. They want to see are you a threat, are you going to put up a fight, or can we get you. And that's what we're seeing across the country with the two Saudi Arabian men.
I talked to people in that investigation down in Florida, in the Tampa area, the two Saudi men that boarded that school bus and wouldn't get off and all that kind of stuff where there was a strong feeling among people involved in that investigation that that was a dry run. We see this, we see school buses missing, 17 in Texas. We see thousands of school bus radios missing in the Northwest, the Pacific Northwest.
We find, in the course of this investigation, I talked with -- it would blow your mind how many law enforcement departments I talked to that have interrupted active surveillance on schools across the country. The dots are there.
GLENN: So tonight -- first of all let me just tell this story again. In Iraq we found a diskette that had a -- that had downloaded all of the Department of Education security measures, and they're all available online.
THOR: Not only a diskette, Glenn, but that disk was on an Iraqi who was arrested in a terrorism raid, an Iraqi with known ties to active Islamic terrorism.
GLENN: Okay. Well, that makes it even happier. So the diskette has basically our emergency procedures in our schools and what the Department of Education says you've got to be ready for and this is what you do in case. So there's another sign that they're studying us.
THOR: Yes.
GLENN: The next thing that we found in Iraq again was eight different schools. Tell me where these schools were and what we found.
Glenn Beck Special Series - Beginning Monday, September 10th on Headline News - 7PM ET
THOR: Okay. What was found in an insurgent, an Al-Qaeda affiliated safehouse over in Iraq, they were school blueprints, basically, floor plans for schools across the country. San Diego, California, West Salem, Oregon, Boyertown, Pennsylvania, schools in Texas, Virginia, New Jersey, and this was very, very disconcerting and there was a cover story that was concocted that, hey, this was just some Iraqis who were involved with the Ministry of Education in Iraq and they're looking to rebuild their schools and all that kind of BS.
GLENN: Unbelievable. I mean, who would buy that, that they come to us to look at the architectural plans of schools all around the country, six or eight -- I mean, were these remarkable schools, architecturally speaking, Brad?
THOR: No, no, it wasn't incredible Frank Lloyd Wright but it shows you how desperate the FBI is to get to the -- they are desperate. They are working so hard to prevent this from happening. That's one thing I want your listeners to know is that they do not want this to happen. They are working hard, but at the same time they are trying to prevent people from panicking.
GLENN: Right.
THOR: And it's a real delicate balancing act that those who keep us safe have to juggle.
GLENN: I will tell you this. The frustration and the reason why we're exposing this is not because we don't feel the Government is doing their job. Quite the opposite. The Government is doing their job on this. They don't have all of the dots.
They just have it -- it's exactly like September 11th. What did you know and when did you know it. Well, we knew that they were trying to do pilots but who would have thought that they were going to do it into the World Trade Center? We didn't know that piece. We're in exactly the same situation.
THOR: Well, and what's amazing, Glenn, is as I've done this investigation and I've talked to my sources and you talk to one who says, well, I've got somebody else who's fed up with the foot-dragging here and you need to talk to him and you need to talk to her, a lot of the reticence to implementing plans that can keep our kids safe, believe it or not, are coming from the schools themselves.
GLENN: Yeah. Well, that's because -- and this goes to what I was saying just a little while before you came on, that's because a lot of these schools are in the heartland, they're in small communities and they think, oh, well, nothing will happen here. You are the bigger target than New York City on this particular case, right?
THOR: Exactly. In one of the things that we're seeing here is that they are looking for the softest targets possible, and that means when you're looking at schools in the heartland, you look at how long it takes from a 911 phone call to getting a tactical team, not just patrol officers but a tactical team on site, and in a lot of places that takes a long time, especially if you have a multijurisdictional swat team.
So what these terrorists are looking for from the stuff that's been recovered, and tonight on your CNN Headline News program, we're going to have John Giduck on who wrote the book terror at Beslan who wrote the book, the dress rehearsal.
Bin Laden has said what we did in Russia, we will visit 100 times worse in America.
He's even gotten a religious edict allowing him to kill up to two million American children and what they are looking for is a school where the girls are old enough to rape and the boys are too small to fight back.
GLENN: Okay. I asked you, I just talked to a woman about a half hour ago. She said she watched last night's special with her 14-year-old son. I ask you that you do not have your kids watch tonight. Tonight is really horrific stuff. I mean, tonight is -- and correct me if I'm wrong, Brad. You've seen much more of this than I have. It's "Take your breath away" evil stuff.
THOR: Glenn, I have a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old and I've known John Giduck for a little bit who's going to be on tonight, John Giduck is going to reveal things on your show tonight that I'm going to bet you 99.9% of your audience has never heard before and it's, it's actually going to even be difficult for me to sit through it tonight because it's that bad.
GLENN: Okay. Now, there's two things, also. One, there was something else that -- Stu, just remind me, football games and buses, will you? ADD moment. There was -- hang on just a second, Brad.
THOR: Sure.
GLENN: I want to go back to Pakistan because there was something else that we touched on last night and we didn't play this tape.
We were only cleared to play a few seconds of it. I'm going to try to expand that and put it on tomorrow's newsletter so you can see it.
There's eight hours of tape that we found in Pakistan in another Al-Qaeda training camp, eight hours of tape where they made a mock American school.
The guy, the terrorists came in and they took mock American students, they took one little boy and they shot him in the head immediately and then in English said, "Now follow our directions exactly."
It's how to take over an American school. It's eight hours of tape. Only an hour of it has been seen by American law enforcement officials here in America. We've only seen part of it. What else is on this eight, the eight hours? What is this?
~~~~~~~
Be alert for stolen schoolbuses, and those that fail inspection and sold. Suspect people are buying them.
God help and protect us.
Remember Beslan .. PLEASE, pass this on.
I wish I could see yesterday’s broadcast about Beslan.
Marie, when you post the second part, can you ping me. Thank you.
For later

I’ve never watched Beck. Looks like a good time to start doing so.
Today members of our police force were walking outside our school building checking that all exit were locked from the inside.
We are also scheduled to have an intruder alert drill next week.
It really is spooky, because I recall a post by someone prior to school starting that over a dozen school buses were missing (I dont recall if it was nationwide or just in one district.)
Bump
WARNING: Do not watch this with children or if you are feint of heart. Also may not be work safe.

Beslan video posted earlier today by the show. This isn’t the Glenn Beck television show. This is foreign footage of Beslan.
I’ve never seen this video before.
Ping
One of Glenn’s main points about all of this - “The Perfect Day” - which about more than only attacks on schools - is that it is supposed to prompt the U.S. into all-out war against Islam, and that this would rally Islam as a whole (not just the jihadists) against us.
What I haven’t decided, so far, is if Glenn is right or wrong that we should guard against this reaction.
For my part - and most of us, I think - the natural reaction will be to turn sand into glass . . .
Ping - direct link in post 8.
Small towns would be the most vulnurable. I live by an elementary and a high school nearby. Both are wide open no fencing. Parents line up morning and afternoon. It seems to me anyone could go in during that time without being stopped.
The larger city high schools are probably safer since they need to have more security to guard against their own students doing some kind of criminal activity.
