Raymond Arroyo @RaymondArroyo ยท Follow At 6 am in New Orleans officers found an explosive device near the Cathedral in the French Quarter. They discovered two devices and safety detonated both. Thank God.

It looks as if a substantially larger jihad strike had been planned for New Orleans.

***It looks as if a substantially larger jihad strike had been planned for New Orleans.***

I am reminded that after 9-11 and the aircraft were grounded, ground crews found stashes of box cutter knives on other aircraft.

Wait until until 1/6 and 1/20 in DC. I have a bad feeling about those days, and our current FBI is going to allow something bad to happen. Because Trump.

Islam should be severely restricted or even banned in America. Ok, freedom of religion, got it.
But Saudi money building wahabbist mosques across the country? NOPE.
Islam should be a disqualifier for a clearance, military service, or an H1b.
There should be a complete moratorium in travel from moslem countries.

And so forth and so on.

It appears as if a substantially larger jihad strike had been planned for New Orleans.

The Mumbai attack used multiple teams with multiple targets.

Expect the same tactics here.

This team cooked off a few hours too early. There are probably more teams out there. And in more than one city.

This was the assessment of analysts from the J.L. Wilkerson Consulting and Management Corporation. They are a bunch of "ex" CIA analysts. It is looking to me like they called it correctly. It is showtime.

My grandmother lived in New Orleans, and when I was a young. girl, we went from Chicago to visit her every year for Easter.

Beautiful cathedral there, which now, reportedly, has explosives in it needing bomb squads to take them out. Heartbreaking.

I wanted to fly down there. for Easter with my daughter who has never been there but the city is not safe at any time of the year according to people from NOLA posting on Daily Mail.

Treat Islam and Muslims like they treat non Muslims in their Islamic s holes.

NOLA is one of the most Catholic cities in America. The jihadists are attacking culture as much as politics. French Quarter hosted many Notre Dame students and alums last night. Today it’s reported IEDs were found near St. Louis Cathedral. Jigadis have a hatred for the Catholic Church. Also both the French Quarter and Vegas are viwed as dens of sin by these same jihadis. Throw in Trump and it’s a perfect storm. I know, through some sources the NYPD is viewing these attacks in a similar manner. I don’t believe the Feebs are.
