Specific warnings were issued to allied intelligence services in Europe and Asia based on information gleaned from the Islamic State, indicating the terrorist group’s sympathizers would conduct attacks using large trucks in Christmas-related killing sprees.

Of course they knew.

They knew of the very real threat that muzzie was in San Bernardino last year when he massacred all those people at that office Christmas Party.

They knew. They know. They will know.

But they sit on their asses and do nothing.

My son, a long hauler, has been warning re this for years - One of the biggest outfits he drove for - and trained nearly 50 new drivers for - has seen this scenario setting up for years.

The government PAYS the $5,000 training costs for these Muslims - many Somali’s - and then they’re turned lose on our highways with semis.

They come to the4 states, go straight into driver training, speak little English = but have cell phone pre-entered with contacts in the largest cities known to have terrorist cells. Whenever there’s a layover in one of these cities - they make a call and they are picked up and whisked off, returning when time to drive again.

Stop to refuel and they jump out and plop their payer rugs on the tarmac - etc.

My son had some really scary incidences with these folk - and got out of training because of it.

So imagine, we now have THOUSANDS of these people behind the wheels of semi’s - and we have power plants, nuclear facilities, dams, etc, ‘guarded’ with flimsy little one person shacks - not to mention bridges and city down-towns...
Remember the little van that blew up the Oklahoma gov’t building?

Think a packed semi - or SEVERAL - in a nationwide coordinated attack.

So, the gov’t is paying to train our next ‘9-11’?

Pray HARD we get to Jan 20th ahead of it.

Simple solutions...

Traffic, parking & access control using fixed and functional bollards


SENTRY Electric Retractable Bollards

No need to overthink things.
