purchased a large amount of cell phones from Wal-Mart

Such purchases are common place amongst the convenience stores and gas stations owned by Chaldeans and Lebanese...

FWIW, my local Marathon owner, a Chaldean, buys all his products for resale from the local Costco.........

These guys are stupid. They don’t seem to know all these phones will now be on NSA and other watch lists. I hope.

As it wouldn’t take long to be anywhere in the country, from that point of purchase, I wouldn’t necessarily assume they are going to attack in that area.

They are for communications. Burners to use several times then toss. Numbers are being passed discretely to cell members via simple coded posts on the net.

ME terrorists use cell phones due to lack of alternatives in their desert 3rd world. Not the case in this country. Far better equipment is available here thanks to the techno crazy American culture.

It appears they want to draw attention to themselves. To test our PC attitude?
They could just as easily order the phones online and have them shipped.
They want us to following the moving hand, while they do something somewhere else.
I see this as a distraction.

...bought the phones without sales taxes.

One of the 16,000 new IRS agents should be all over this.

There are several threads but I picked the latest. Now this one is even newer I think.

I didn't see anything on ABC but did see this in Newser and Rush via FOX's Megyn Wherever. Don't know if any other MSM is covering except locally, can find out a lot from the local affiliates that never go national.

To find the other threads, it is easiest to just google free republic stolen propane tanks. Most articles will include the phones.

Now it's expanding.

Obviously terrorists want high body count(s), crowds, etc., but if too many speculate on one specific target, they are likely to try something else imo.

They buy burner phones this way...all cash and zero traceable records. Can’t do that with web order and a credit card. I’m surprised they used fake docs to get a sales tax exemption. Why take that big risk to save a few pennies if you’ve got something huge planned?

The same thing is being reported here in Indiana. I Have a friend who said they came in her store. Cops showed up to talk to her a day later.

Unless there is some law that the person can’t buy all those phones, what do you expect a store clerk to do?

“They�€™re going to have to score a really big strike against us to wake people up from their PC-induced coma.”

What worries me is that they're being let to do their dirty work so that a big hit does occur. When that occurs the sheeple will collectively bleat “Protect us, Save us declare martial law” The regime then will only be fulfilling the will of the people. Classical Hegelian dialectic

Make it a practice to step near the buyer and snap a photo or three. Make sure they see you do it, and watch their reaction. If they are visibly upset, call the cops and explain what you’ve seen. See something, say something!

oh come on now- these people were asked, when they immigrated here “Do you plan on being a terrorist” by our gubmint- so they couldn’t possibly be buying these things en mass for nefarious reasons
