While sitting here with my back to the TV this morning I hear them say the bunch arrested has no ties to al qaeda, they’re home grown terrorists. I’m thinking WHAT??? almost all of them were illegal aliens. WTH?
Sad state of affairs going on with DHS IMO.
Al Qaeda use to be a sophisticated cell system. That has been broken up. BUT, since that was broken up, Al Qaeda has morphed into a BRAND name.
Lone groups and individuals act on their own, then apply for the license to use Al Qaeda. It is much like a contest now.
What the media is doing is actually trying to deflect international connections to this albanian group. It goes down two rabbit holes that I’m aware of.
1) 3 of the illegal immigrants/terrorists were roofers that appear to be connected to GAF (about GAF: http://www.answers.com/topic/gaf-2 *memories of WW2!). That means they would be connected to others in official position due to business licenses and work permits.
2) These Albanians may be related to the mafia.

BALKAN CONNECTION (Albanian mafia in 80es threatening to Rudi Giuliani)
Well they have no ties to Al-Qaeda in the same sense that my local KISS cover band has no formal ties to KISS.
And other than the fact that they grew up in Kosovo, Turkey and Jordan - they're homegrown.
