When
government wants to bury a story, they release the news on a Friday.
When they REALLY want to bury a story, they release it during a weekend
holiday when the vast majority of Americans are focused on anything
other than the news.
The
Department of Homeland Security decided to drop a bombshell release
about an upcoming terrorist attack on Saturday, New Year's Eve.
According to the intelligence, al Qaeda is actively recruiting new
suicide bombers to use aircraft in attacks on the United States that are
similar to what took place on September 11, 2001. They will use
different strategies and tactics, according to the memo.
Even
though this was an internal memo, they knew with a certainty because of
the vastness of the drop that it would be leaked to the press. As of
two days following the drop, no corporate media outlet in the United
States has reported on it.
Atlas News did, though their focus was on the taunting of the CIA:
This
brings us to the most interesting topic broached in this publication:
an insight into how AQ and Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi planned and
executed the Camp Chapman bombing on December 30th, 2009. Not only did
this publication include direct quotes from planners and al-Balawi
himself, but it was accompanied by a 30-minute video that purports to
show al-Balawi taunting the CIA before carrying out the triple-agent
suicide bombing.
Another publication, Judicial Watch,
highlighted how Federal Air Marshals who should be in the air prepared
to stop such terrorist attacks are busy trying to help process illegal
aliens at Joe Biden's open border:
While
the nation’s Federal Air Marshals (FAM) are busy on the Mexican border
providing illegal immigrants with welfare checks, transportation, and
other basic services, Al Qaeda is planning attacks in the U.S. involving
planes, according to high-level Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
sources. Judicial Watch obtained from government sources a copy of the
new intelligence alert, which was delivered on December 31, 2022, at
12:23:52 Greenwich Mean Time. The caption of the widely circulated
warning reads: “Al-Qaeda says upcoming attacks on US, possibly involving
planes, will use new techniques and tactics.”
The
threat could not come at a worse time, as the Biden administration
leaves aircraft at risk by sending 150-200 FAM monthly to the southern
border to help deal with what it calls “a surge in irregular migration.”
The deployments will continue indefinitely, according to multiple FAM
sources, and the specially trained aviation security specialists are
outraged. The agency works under the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA), which was created after 9/11 to prevent another
terrorist attack. FAM is charged with protecting commercial passenger
flights by deterring and countering the risk of terrorist activity.
Nevertheless, in late October, the Biden administration began deploying the
highly trained law enforcement officers to busy Border Patrol sectors
to help with hospital watch, transportation, security and welfare checks
at migrant facilities.
Days
later the Air Marshal National Council, which represents thousands of
FAM nationwide, accused TSA Administrator David Pekoske and FAM Director
Tirrell Stevenson of violating federal law and overstepping their
authority by assigning air marshals to assist the U.S. Border Patrol
with the illegal immigration crisis. In a formal complaint to
the DHS Inspector General, the group also accused the Homeland Security
leaders of fraud, waste, and abuse of authority. Sending air marshals
to El Paso, Texas, San Diego, California, Laredo, Texas, McAllen, Texas,
Tucson, Arizona and Yuma, Arizona to transport illegal immigrants and
conduct welfare checks has no relation to TSA’s core mission of
transportation security, the complaint states. “The statute does not
give the Administrator any authority to deploy TSA or FAM employees to
the southern border to perform non transportation security related
matters,” the complaint to the DHS IG says. “Further, under section (g)
the statute describes what the Administrators authority is if an
emergency, as defined by the Secretary of Homeland Security, is
declared.” The act makes clear that the legislative intent is to only
allow TSA to exercise authority and deploy its assets for transportation
security, the report to the DHS watchdog confirms.
Hours after learning about the latest Al Qaeda threat, the Air Marshal National Council fired off a letter to
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as well as Pekoske and Stevenson
reminding them that deploying FAM to the southern border to perform
humanitarian work is reckless and putting the nation at extreme risk.
“We are once again requesting you immediately stop these dangerous and
unnecessary deployments and let our FAMs do what the American taxpayers
pay them to do, protect and defend our transportation system,” the
letter reads. “We have to ask how can you justify sending FAMs to the
border in huge numbers, when the border is in your words secure, and
there is no emergency? Yet we have major security incidents happening
right now affecting our aviation security.”
Sonya
Hightower-LaBosco, a retired FAM who serves as executive director of
the Air Marshal National Council, confirmed that FAM are still being
pulled off flights at a rate of about 200 a month to serve illegal
immigrants at stations along the Mexican border. “They are making
sandwiches for them and driving them around like Uber or picking up
supplies,” Hightower-LaBosco told Judicial Watch on New Year’s Day. The
head of the council, David Londo, called the redeployment of air
marshals to the southern border “insane” considering the latest aviation
threat from Al Qaeda. “Either they don’t care about aviation security,
or they really think it is secure,” Londo said.
Let's
hope corporate media can break away from touting Volodymyr Zelensky or
lamenting Nancy Pelosi's exit from Congress long enough to warn
Americans that radical Islamic terrorists may be ready to strike our
nation again.
