House Intelligence Chair Says US at ‘Highest Level’ of Potential Terrorist Threat
The Epoch Times ^ | June 16, 2024 | Jack Phillips

Posted on 06/16/2024 2:26:30 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

The threats are ‘no longer speculative’ and ‘not longer hypothetical,’ Rep. Mike Turner said.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-Ohio) said Sunday that the United States is currently at its “highest level” for the possibility of a terrorist attack occurring on American soil.

During an interview with CBS News, Mr. Turner was asked about reports of recent arrests with individuals with ties to the ISIS terrorist group in the United States.

“What’s important about these reports and what we’re seeing, especially in conjunction with [FBI] Director [Christopher] Wray’s public statements, that we are at the highest level of a possible terrorist threat, that the administration’s policies have absolutely directly related to threats to Americans,” Mr. Turner said.

He added to CBS News that the threats are “no longer speculative” and “not longer hypothetical” in light of public comments made by the FBI director during multiple congressional committee meetings in the past six months or so.

“We have actual administration officials stepping forward and certainly our committee and our committee members have concurred on the intelligence that we’re seeing,“ Mr. Turner told the outlet. ”That as a result of the administration’s policies allowing people to cross the border unvetted, we have terrorists that are actively working with inside the United States that are a threat to Americans.”

His comments came in light of reports, citing unnamed U.S. officials, that claimed that at least eight Tajikistan nationals with alleged ties to ISIS were arrested in several major cities including New York and Los Angeles. The Epoch Times has not been able to independently verify those reports.

So why the HELL aren’t we hearing about raids, disrupting the vermin’s plans and networks, interrogations, and putting them in prison? All we ever hear is “Danger, Will Robinson, DANGER!” Why aren’t they doing something useful?

The bloodshed would be brought upon us by the current administration. Their immediate termination should follow abruptly, and without equivocation.

Homeland Security NTAS has NO current advisories.

FPCON appears to be at yellow (charlie) at domestic bases.

Stay frosty.

Because once something happens the politicians can point fingers, and also use any terror attacks on the homeland as an excuse to expand the federal government and restrict individual liberty.

That’s a very plausible explanation.

Perhaps Team Biden can tell us where exactly they airlifted the “immigrants” to in the cover of darkness and secrecy.

One thing that we may all find reassuring after the attack is the knowledge that all of the terrorists were known by The FBI in advance.

Yesterday, I told my wife about how American women will be signing/registering for a selective service draft.

She looked at me with one of her famous pauses while thinking about what I said.

She said. “Our Intel people must be seeing/hearing some very serious and scary stuff to register women for the draft!!”
