American Authorities Fear Terror Networks Already in US
2016-08-08
Long piece at Voice of America. Just a few paragraphs here:
After years of undercover work, the U.S. is starting to pull back the veil on what appear to be loose-knit, perhaps deeply rooted networks of would-be terrorists who support each other even as many prepare to act alone.

Heightening the concern, these complex webs of connections and support seem to span several years and often cut across the ideological lines that delineate one terror group from another.

“Increasingly, the FBI’s had a lot of these,” according to a law enforcement official familiar with one of the more recent cases. “I think it is going on nationally.”

The official also said it was clear that “a lot of this predated ISIL,” using an acronym for the Islamic State terror group.

#8  The US is at risk of winning or stalemating in its war agz Radical Islamism only to succumb to Secular-n-Progressive led domestic pressures to adopt Islamist insituions.

* IIRC FNC TOM SULLIVAN RADIO SHOW > Both Repub + Demcrat call-ins = claim that they feel they are being given no choice but either Socialism, or Vioent Anarchy in this POTUS election between Trump + Hillary.

* SAME > ANTI-TRUMP GOP Analysts-Pundits are warning a Trump Presidency would likely be a disaster, or at least problematic, as a matter of foreign policy.

> CHINA VS JAPAN = struggle for OWG Co-Superpower "US-style", "US-par" overseas Milbases espec for the Chinese PLA.
> IRAN VS KSA for nuclear, geopol dominance of Islamic World.

ESPEC AS PER CHINA VS JAPAN BECAUSE CHINA IS NOT GOING TO GIVE UP ON ITS PERCEIVED MANIFEST DESTINY TO DOMINATE IN EAST ASIA-WESTPAC.

lastly, I'm interpreting the above GOP Analysts' fears of a Trump Presidency as AFFIRMATION that the Years Jan-2017 thru 2025 will be troubled or dangerous for the US as per the US-led Anti-US OWG-NWO Globalist agenda, + that our National two-Party [GOP-Dem] Establishment knows it. DITTO AS PER A POTUS HILLARY ADMIN.

#7  Mullah Richard: Islambergs. There are about a dozen, and the org behind them is big into prison converts. They're also very secretive.

Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy...

#6  #4 Whatever happens, the perpetrators will no doubt be reported as having been 'under previous FBI monitoring.' Posted by Besoeker Ditto. Under previous monitoring...why no, they aren't not one of our CIs...unsure of their motivations...on the darker side - need time to mask the true motivation to keep the truth from us unwashed masses since we may incite some type of retaliation...

#5  I heard about some 'jihadi weapons training camps' here in the states somewhere around 2006, so ~10 years ago. Supposedly training with RPGs, mortars, explosives and the like at some remote areas of the country.

I'm not in a national security service, so I haven't been monitoring them. Our industry group is concerned about 'infrastructure destabilization', so some of our folks do keep up on the readings.

Apparently no one in national/state authority cares too much, though. Maybe 'giving them space' or something.

Let the group be 'Christian' or 'Survivalist', with a couple old rifles (and maybe an icky handgun), and the Feds are all over them.

#3  Fort Hood, Boston, Orlando, et al. Maybe these 'Top Men' are getting an inkling of something afoot.

#2  The predilection for political correctness rampant through the government and the failure to recognize the linkages between Islam and terror does not help stem the terror networks.
