But somehow we are just supposed to let tens of thousands More Walk Right In?
I am amazed and in awe how agencies in the US have so far stopped major attacks in the US. There is so much going on every day that we do not see.
Islamic Terrorists.
Say it.
Implicit in that comment is the admission that the US Federal Government is failing to uphold its end of the social contract.
He needs to inform some Federal judges.
If Americans knew the truth about the DEEP STATE, they’d take to the streets and demand for the liberal/rino politicians heads.
These people have made America unsafe because they’ve allowed our enemies into this country and set up shop.
People generally prefer to raise their offspring in peace. It is one of the most basic drives for humans.
There will be a resetting.
My hard core, Leftist brother will not engage on the subject of Radical Islamists. He simply says ‘I just don’t think it will ever touch me’. And he’s probably right, but aren’t the Leftists supposed to be the ones who care about everybody?? When I brought up San Bernardino in Feb, 2016, he said ‘what happened in San Bernardino?’. He knew the FBI was trying to break into someone’s IPhone, but was unaware of the terrorist attack in San Bernardino. He only watches the alphabet news. Big Media is doing serious damage to this country by only reporting what they want the sheeple to know and ignoring the matters that directly impact the safety of all Americans.
This is what the American tax payer gets after bankrolling the worlds most powerful military for 70 years?
By all means, Secretary Kelly, give the people the benefit of your knowledge on the terrorism threat that might keep people from leaving their houses.
I suspect that if that is true, and we have no reason to doubt you Mr. Secretary, that the American people would actually insist on action, rather than the typical bullshit that passes for action by our government on terrorism, even in this new administration.
The real reason the government does not share this sort of information is not to protect the population from worry, it’s because they are worried we might wonder why we are paying them if they can identify threats, yet do nothing about them.
We can all probably write the statement from DHS after the next major terrorist attack in the US:
(three days after the attack)
“We had intelligence on the perpetrators of this heinous attack - they were on our radar. We offer our condolences to the victims and their families, and encourage all Americans to have 72 hours of food and water in their homes and to “say something” whenever they “See something””
So Secretary Kelly, why don’t you make it a priority to explain what you know about the terrorist threat in America to Americans, and let Americans decide whether they wish to stay at home in fear, or address the threat to them and their loved ones more directly - or is your concern more about protecting terrorists and those who support them from Americans?
So then, tell us, the American people...THE TRUTH.
Here is another truth. Americans by in large are capable of protecting ourselves.
Oh my gosh...Mr. Smith's carrying a gun....Oh,the horror of it all. If law abiding citizens began carrying long arms, side arms on a regular basis...we'd all be safer.
Article out a day or so ago, concealed carry permits up 215%, murder rates down by 40%. No accident here.
Granted, some do not have the aptitude nor gut for it. That said, we are responsible for our own safety.
All this secret squirrel crap is getting old. The only reason it has to be so secret is that they allow the threats to remain here and know we would be angry.
If you don’t ant rat bites you have to eliminate all rats.
In other words: “Feds need more snooping power”
They can’t say “Trump won the election so give us more power to stop the next ‘Trump’.” They can say “we’ll stop the next terror attack if we get more power”
They always claim a “trigger issue” like child porn, or drugs, or and lately terrorism for more power. There are 2 things they won’t admit
1) Out of 300+ million people, a few will do some very bad things. No amount of indiscriminate mass snooping will stop that.
2) More data does not make decisions better. More of “the right data” can. When they identify the “clues” from the last terrorist’s communications they will find 10s of 1000s of other people who match. And they will still miss the next bad guy while focusing on lots of not-so-bad guys who match the data. They have plenty of power to get “the right data” if they have good non-mass-data intelligence. But they’ve been focused on data collection for too long. They need to improve identification of targets, not increase the amount of mass surveillance data they collect. That is if they want to stop terrorists, not if they want to stop another Trump.
Sounds like he knows who is funding terrorism and why.
Let’s never forget that even the word was coined by Lenin and many of these so called “religious” fanatics of Islam were trained by the Soviets.
Modern terrorism is the perfect cloak for Elites to “divide and conquer” the rest of us.
They wear masks, they have no real nation, their irrationality can be ascribed to their demon god, and the MSM teaches normal Americans “not to judge” their Deep State actors
If we actually knew what politicians and bureaucrats thought of us and half the stuff they did behind our backs, we would march many of them to a wall and shoot them...
I can only conclude that Democrats love terrorism.
Because if you leave the house, it might provoke a terror attack, and cause Islamophobia, and we all know that Islamophobia is worse than deaths caused by terror attacks. Islamophobia is in the same category as racism, and as George W Bush famously said, racism is the worse possible thing.
Well gee Wally. Why don't you DO SOMETHING about it?
Authorities knew the Manchester bomber beforehand. Just as they knew the muzzie that killed all them homo's in Orlando. And the muzzie that killed all them office worker at that office Christmas Party In San Bernardino. And on and on we can go.
The murders are terrible. But even worse is the fact these muzzie murderers are well known to the feds. Yet they sit back and do nothing.
