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

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.

People around here get upset when you mention the obvious, but they would definitely resort to the “A” word, given half a chance.

Think Potato Head Wray would pull more than 2 people off the 1,000 agent J6 Persecution Team to form a study group of terrorism?

Their termination would be first for they are no longer “useful idiots” with tunnel fairy tales of power, money and prestige promised them by mankind’s powers that be. The bloodshed likely will be most prominent along Texas’s borders as fight it will. And victory proclaimed.

Within is a well-armed born and bred Militia sick and tired of the various enemy nationals and combatants making a foothold within The Lone Star State.

Since the Texas Southern Border is of such prominence in the matter, things will likely begin there. Tanks, missiles, A-10s, B1s and F-16s and 18 Hornets. Heligunners. Bunker buster the cartels and create a whole new coastline in the meantime.
