On 09/12/2002, if I had declared America would forget 9/11 in 25 years, I probably would have been locked up, providing I survived such blasphemy. Yet, almost 25 years later, 'YOU' forgot! By 'YOU', I mean New Yorkers, fellow Americans.
Otherwise, 'YOU' never would have voted into power as Mayor of NYC a radical extremist Muslim and devout Communist that supports and promotes this enemy. An enemy, who for decades has chanted "Death to America" and murdered 3000 Americans on that awful day.
So let's look at the tactics used that fateful day which changed the course of History. Four (4) commercial aircraft hijacked and converted to missiles. 19 devoted Terrorists trained by Al Qaeda split into 4 small teams for the mid-air passenger plane takedown. KISS principle used for maximum chances of success.
Fast forward to today. Imagine over 1000 AQ trained terrorists here now, devoted to destruction of western civilization, and specifically, the USA. According to AQ itself, the attack on Israel two years ago, using 1500 AQ trained terrorists, was merely a "practice run" for a massive 9/11 reboot in America's near future.
An attack to dwarf the former offensive, using numerous teams and deploying multiple methods of destruction including suicide bombers, small unit assaults, vehicle and aircraft IED's on large gatherings, downtown city buildings, critical infrastructure, and impersonating and killing first responders.
Attacks will come in waves. Some will be suicide bombers. Others will be Jihadi "Fedayeen", killers who will fight to the death (imagine fighting 'The Terminator'). American LE policy, procedures and best practices have not experienced nor are prepared to counter this type of action and psychotic mentality.
This scenario is not fiction. According to the foremost US expert in Jihadi activity, Sarah Adams, this possibility is closer than we wish to deny or realize. She has sounded numerous warnings on several podcast platforms, including the Shawn Ryan Show (former USN Seal, producer "The Unit" tv series).
In Sarah's latest interview, she bases her current assessment on Intel in the form of a book from the Transatlantic Intelligence Consortium, an group of current and former Intel operatives and analysts from the US and Western Europe (1). The book "Al-Qaeda 2.0 - the Upcoming Attack on the United States and Europe Unveiled", is direct and blunt (2). In summary, the Consortium concluded that AQ is renewed and restructured through the efforts of Bin Laden's son, Hamza, and rededicated to destroying the West. Most sources are convinced Hamza Bin Laden is still alive, still in chare of AQ, and more determined than ever to seek revenge.
Other experts are also sounding the alarm. Admiral Frank Bradley, US Special Forces Command, elaborated on current evolving terror threats to the US Homeland (3). The Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, also a Lt. Colonel in the US Army, just sounded a warning about rising Islamic Extremism on a recent ABC televised interview(4).
Director Gabbard has just revealed that there are at least 18,000 known or suspected terrorists (from the Terror Watchlist) on US soil now (5), their whereabouts unknown, as a direct result of the last administrations' reckless Border Policy negligence. We gave them the ability to communicate and organize through the use of cell phones, tablets and computers with the internet, social media and texting. I'm sure there is enough ordnance here to access and get the job done.
We just saw what only 2 Jihadi Extremists can do in Australia (6).
The Office of DNI receives and evaluates Intel from all those US agencies tasked with collecting information regarding military, civilian, terrorism and geo-political activities. So, when the boss of collective US Intelligence says to heed a warning, we should pay attention.
