The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, along with the National Counterterrorism Center, issued the Joint Intelligence Bulletin sharing information and a threat assessment advising state and local law enforcement agencies that “lone offenders inspired by, or reacting to, the ongoing Israel-HAMAS conflict pose the most likely threat to Americans.”
The bulletin – obtained by CNN – also notes “the FBI has seen an increase in reports of threats against faith communities, particularly Jewish and Muslim communities.” While Hamas has not specifically called for attacks on US soil, the bulletin says, other foreign terrorist organizations have called for attacks in the US, which “may prompt homegrown extremists” to direct attacks at Israeli, Jewish or US government targets.

“Lone Offender”?
Was the Wolf Community offended by the constant denigrations?
Potential homeland threats?
Is homeland aware tgat the border is open?
Open borders have consequences
It’s called Blowback, and it’s a real thing.
Yeah, the iranian black flag flying from Teheran was a really astute observation of the federal bureau of “things”. They on da ball, dat crew. And steered directly to the wrong groups- to allow the attacks to occur. As, before. Thank you obamaomau (our jomo kenyatta with an iranian minder ValJar).
The Federal Bureau of Instigation is on the job...OMG
In another announcement, it is now National Concealed Carry Month
Now, how do you suppose these terrorists got their orders? Their food and shelter? Their communications gear? And most of all, their weapons, whether it is a Wustof Chef’s knife or a Glock? The ammo, too..
Whatever happens, don’t blame our good friends in Iran. It’s a lone wolf attack, understand?
Don’t forget Ahmed Brennan, too. He is a Jihadist through and through.
“Lone Offender”?
Lone offenders are defined by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as one who inflicts fear upon a targeted group or the general public, independent of any direction from a terrorist group or organization (USDOJ, 2019). Lone offender attacks can be referred to as idiosyncratic (Joosse, 2017) and are delineated into four dimensions: idiosyncratic ideology, idiosyncratic motives, idiosyncratic tactics, and idiosyncratic strategic thinking (Norris, 2020), although this article is not to argue or separate attackers into any of the four dimensions. These offenders are commonly referred to as “lone wolf” terrorists by the mainstream media in the aftermath of the United States’ attacks on September 11, 2001 (9/11). Typically, the lone offender is classified as such because they commit acts of violence alone (some cases allow the inclusion of a pair), separate from any group or outside of the group’s direct commands.
“The analyses of the current existing capabilities of intelligence services indicate that there is no effective method or the possibility of an effective way of warfare with lone wolves” (p. 6).
why?
We have already witnessed at least two isolated terrorist attacks, resulting in the tragic murders of the president of the Detroit synagogue and a six-year-old child in Illinois.
They just can't bring themselves to say exactly what causes all this "idiosyncratic" behavior, can they?
Conclusion
Upon analyzing a quarter-century worth of lone offender attacks in the United States, the research has concluded that there was no verifiable correlation between 9/11 and an increase in lone attacks. This lack of a proven increase of lone offender terror attacks in the years following 9/11 provides a critical insight: that this attack specifically did not have as great of an influence on lone offenders as it was perceived to have. However, the exponential increase in attacks the following decade, utilizing information available and verifiable from 2010-2015, instead suggests that there may be another force with a far more substantial influence on violent extremism and lone offenses.
