Amid the chaos of the 2009 holiday travel season, jihadists planned to slaughter 290 innocent travelers on a Christmas Day flight from the Netherlands to Detroit, Michigan. Twenty-three-year old Nigerian Muslim Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab intended to detonate Northwest Airlines Flight 253, but the explosives in his underwear malfunctioned and brave passengers subdued him until he could be arrested. The graphic and traumatic defeat they planned for the United States failed, that time.
Following the attempted attack, President Obama threw the intelligence community under the bus for its failure to “connect the dots.” He said, “this was not a failure to collect intelligence, it was a failure to integrate and understand the intelligence that we already had.”
.....After leaving my 15 year career at DHS, I can no longer be silent about the dangerous state of America’s counter-terror strategy, our leaders’ willingness to compromise the security of citizens for the ideological rigidity of political correctness—and, consequently, our vulnerability to devastating, mass-casualty attack.
Just before that Christmas Day attack, in early November 2009, I was ordered by my superiors at the Department of Homeland Security to delete or modify several hundred records of individuals tied to designated Islamist terror groups like Hamas from the important federal database, the Treasury Enforcement Communications System (TECS). These types of records are the basis for any ability to “connect dots.” Every day, DHS Customs and Border Protection officers watch entering and exiting many individuals associated with known terrorist affiliations, then look for patterns. Enforcing a political scrubbing of records of Muslims greatly affected our ability to do that. Even worse, going forward, my colleagues and I were prohibited from entering pertinent information into the database.

DHS has been apparently purging info that attaches Islam to terror in official records.
But Jeh Johnson says "gun control" is their new agenda.
Very very very dangerous.
bump
Hard choices coming people.
Do we have the moral fiber and backbone of our ancestors?
“...jihadists planned to slaughter 290 innocent travelers...”
Words that will never be uttered by POTUS.
The Nigerian was sweating like crazy and the airliner had spent a long time on the tarmac —the explosives absorbed a lot of the moisture and were rapidly degraded.
THAT is how close them came to ALL dying.
Saved by SWEAT —had NOTHING to do with “dynamo” US enforcement.
THEY JUST LUCKED OUT, nothing more.
BUMP! BUMP!
Jeh is a Muslim. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeh_Johnson
Openly, unlike Obama and Brennan.
DHS, CIA, CIC, all controlled by the ROP. No one would believe it if were fiction. But this nightmare is real.

That asshole thinks that conservatives are a bigger threat than Muslim terrorists.
We are seeing a revolt by true security professionals against Obama and Hillary.
About time.
By the way, spooks are not the people I’d want to tick off. Just saying...
I just bought his book. “See something, say nothing.” Wish I could find time to read it!
Yes.
But just as in the past, it takes a LOT for real Americans to divert from just trying to live and let live. And I mean A LOT.
But once that line is crossed, LOOK OUT.
It is beyond belief.
Could not see all this playing out til recent years culmination.
I think we now know what Obama was talking about when he promised “a civilian force that’s on par with our military”.
If you add up the amount of #BLM animals, La Raza militants, Soros SEIU anarchists, and hundreds of thousands of Muslim jihadists in this country, that easily exceeds our active and reserve military personnel.
Think of all the damage they can do with ample funding from Saudi Wahabists, and Soros...
God help us.

Correct.
That is right...Even a rabbit will fight back when it has no choice....
Jeh Johnson, BTW IS A MUSLIM!
It is my understanding that he had been wearing the underwear for about a week. The heat of the tarmac was probably the final straw to degrade them.
I'll be a monkey's uncle, you are absolutely right. Jeh Johnson is a muzzie. Wow, didn't realize this. So is Huma, Valarie Jarret.
