Are the few decent people left at the CIA trying to warn us of something like a false flag domestic attack that would be pinned on supposed “Gadsetn Patriots”.....????
Domestic terrorists leaving blood soaked Bibles, American flags, John Wayne videos, Rush Revere stories, etc. strewn about.
I’ve been out of the game for a while, but the warning from Michael Morrell certainly caught my attention, for several reasons.
First, as the former #2 at CIA, Morrell still speaks in carefully-measured bureaucrat-speak. After a while in the trade, it becomes part of your DNA; there’s always a qualifier for every threat, just to CYA. Pretty remarkable for a guy with that background to speak so bluntly. It’s almost as if someone—more like multiple people still in the business—have told him that some sort of attack is almost inevitable.
Reason #2: Morrell still knows lots of people at Langley and the other agencies. He may not have received a prediction of an attack at a specified location on a certain date, but it’s a guarantee his comments mirror what he’s being told. If he’s worried on CBS, there are lots of folks worried at CIA, DIA, NSA and the FBI.
Finally, you can see terrorist activity in this country building to a climax in recent months. Active ISIS cases in all 50 states; more than 50 people arrested for ISIS-related activity so far this year. Number of global attacks by the group up sharply from 2014 and (of course) we had three last week.
Meanwhile, White House propagandist Josh Ernest says there are no credible threats against July 4th events. Typical weasel-mouth drivel. If he’s right, you may be safe at the holiday fireworks show, or at the beach, but you may get whacked at your local big box store.
My impression—and it is nothing more, is that ISIS has successfully flooded the zone. The feds are on to something big in the CONUS, but the terrorists are way ahead, and there’s a consensus we won’t be able to stop the attack. It’s akin to being the lookout on the Titanic; you see the iceberg and sound the alarm, but you know the ship can’t avoid it.
