FBI failed to heed public warnings of jihadi plans to hit AFDI Muhammad cartoon contest in Garland, Texas

33

Why didn’t the FBI pay heed to this? Was it because “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam,” as Barack Obama solemnly intoned after the Benghazi jihad attack? Did the Obama administration want us to get killed?

You’ll note that one of the jihadists the Texas would-be murderers were tweeting/communicating with, Mujahid Miski,  was also tied to the San Bernardino slaughterers.

“FBI failed to heed public warnings of Mohammed cartoon contest attack in Garland, TX,” RT, December 23, 2015:

Undermining FBI Director James Comey’s claim that encryption hinders terrorism investigations, the director of SITE Intelligence Group said the FBI was warned a week before the Garland, Texas attack occurred, citing the attacker’s public Twitter activity.

For Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL), the May 3 attack in Garland was its first inspired act of terrorism on US soil, targeting Pamela Geller’s ‘Mohammed Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest’. Although no one died, it was not carried out all that differently from the deadly, IS-inspired attacks in Chattanooga, Tennessee in July or the San Bernardino, California attack in November.

“There is in fact no evidence that [the Garland attack] or any of these other lone-wolf attacks could have been prevented by regulation of encryption technology,” Rita Katz, director and co-founder of the Search for International Terrorist Entities Intelligence Group, wrote in The Washington Post.

[the_ad id=”72852″]

That analysis conflicts with implications made by Comey to the Senate Judiciary Committee about how Garland might have been prevented.

“That morning, before one of those terrorists left to try and commit mass murder, he exchanged 109 messages with an overseas terrorist,” Comey, said. “We have no idea what he said, because those messages were encrypted.”

The way Katz tells it, however, what happened that morning is not as important as what did a week, or more, before.

Garland shooter Elton Simpson was already known by the FBI to use Twitter, as he followed and messaged well-known jihadists, according to an Associated Press source in federal law enforcement, as well as Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas).

McCaul also has said the Department of Homeland Security and FBI issued joint intelligence bulletins to local authorities on April 20, warning the Garland cartoon contest was a likely target.

One of the jihadists Simpson followed on Twitter was IS recruiter Mohamed Abdullahi Hassan, also known as “Miski,” an American member operating in Somalia. Ten days before the Garland shooting, Hassan tweeted, “The brothers from the Charlie Hebdo attack did their part. It’s time for brothers in the #US to do their part,” along with an attached news link announcing the upcoming Mohammed cartoon contest. Simpson retweeted him.

Simpson’s final tweet came hours before the Garland attack, saying in part, “May Allah accept us as mujahideen,” and ending with the hashtag #texasattack.

Katz located these tweets using open source information, “arguably the most important tool in tracking jihadists online,” she wrote, stressing that encryption technology is the wrong bugaboo for the FBI to be focusing on.

“Regulation of these programs will take jihadists next to no time to circumvent; the U.S. government would be the one taking years to catch up,” Katz wrote….

This was a high profile well publicized event. The attackers were not interested in hiding themselves, their beliefs nor their intentions. This was a fat pitch over the middle of the plate and officials didn’t even offer a swing. The message is clear, as was done in Garland, protect yourselves.

With the President cheering on the attackers.
He did not issue an anti-gun announcement that day. Hmmm?
Who exactly does he want to disarm? Eh?

I wonder how many hours the White Mosque sat on the information that they knew there was going to be a terrorist attack on the Garland TX, art show? I wonder if there was any discussion as to whether or not any warning should be given at all?

This article is about open communication but I’m very doubtful that game console (which everyone claims is used to communicate without anyone unwanted reading it) encryption is unbreakable. They probably want the more foolish Jihadists to communicate with their game systems. However by claiming they can’t listen in they have an excuse for ignoring what is communicated.

Anyone with a half a brain knew that the cartoon contest was going to be a target. The feds probably wanted the contest to be cancelled. We are on our own. The feds are useless.

Such contests should be held every week, especially in CCW states. Imagine the money and American lives we’d save not having to wait for them to crawl out of the woodwork and head for the nearest gathering of unarmed women and children. Think of it as national budget reform….or spontaneous target practice. Your call. :)))

Koran burning meetings. Nothing illegal. and, accompanied by complaints to the court that the Koran is hate speech.

It’s not about public safety when the government wants encryption keys and “common sense gun safety laws”. Nope, it’s about controlling the public they are sworn to serve, trying to turn us into subjects not citizens.

For all the resources that are allegedly poured into the FBI, they don’t produce much other than saying they prevented another attack. Fine so did a lot of people, but you gots to believe then as there is no way to prove it,

I was at Garland as I had 11 entries in the contest. When the thumping on the glass and people began briskly coming back in, they were without fear, and it wasn’t because of security, they had been vigilant of their eternal souls, so fear had no place to anchor. No one there has any trust in our government. I’ve never seen such a loyal following as AFDI has. No president, no church leader, no public figure has the loyalty they have. Don’t waste time schooling authority, replace willful ignorance with qualified personnel. This is a Little Red Hen moment. I’m trying to start United States 2.0 Who wants to help? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKRgv9r61jo http://www.secedelinks.org https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYnvgGpajas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YKfbOKDJ2k Who is ready for Armageddon?

I’m rather pleased with how it turned out … A crack shot police officer got a little practice, a little excitement was to be had, liberals/leftists got a big case of butthurt and a couple of dead Muslim terrorists on the pavement … Pamela: 2 … Muslims: 0!

“Did the Obama administration want us to get killed?”

No. Not the “Obama administration” – Obama. It’s time to name the enemy, not “radical Islam”, Islam.

Though he may have some fellow traitors in office, the whole administration are not murdering Jihadists. But he can get the job done not by direct orders but by simple inaction, as has been shown here.

The traitor-in-chief has revealed his hand many times.

The Muslim Brotherhood’s “Global Project for Palestine”and “General Strategic Goal” for North America: Infiltrate and take over western systems from within.

You, the citizens, are on your own. You cannot depend on your government. You must defend yourselves.
