TERRORISM ALIVE AND WELL...EVEN IN THE UNITED STATES


PRESIDENT OBAMA, WITH HIS FALSE RHETORIC THAT 'TERRORISM IS DEAD', LULLED MOST OF THE AMERICAN CITIZENS INTO THEIR FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY THAT ALL IS WELL AND THEY CAN JUST GO ON WITH THEIR LIVES AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED IN THIS COUNTRY...IN THE WORLD...WITH THE PEOPLE THAT HATE AMERICANS AND WANT TO KILL US.


In his State of the Union address to the American people earlier this year, Barack Obama declared that he was "confident" of achieving "our objective of defeating the core of al-Qaeda".
Although he acknowledged the need to pursue the "remnants" of the terrorist group and its affiliates, the overall message was clear – al-Qaeda was badly degraded, the tides of war were receding and the US was winning this fight that was no longer even officially a war.
The Boston bombings would appear to present a fundamental challenge to that assessment and once again bring the nagging uncertainty of terrorism back on to the American main street.

They (the Boston Marathon bombings) bring home the complexity of the global Islamist threat and the fact that it cannot be confined to wars in distant lands, or fought at arm's length using drones, as the Obama administration has quietly yet insistently led America to believe.
Mr Obama and his intelligence community know the threat from al-Qaeda affiliates, but have chosen to downplay it to the US public.

My question is WHY is Obama refusing to give credence to the threat these terrorists pose?


Jan. 14, 2013: President Obama meets in the Oval Office with Saudi minister of interior.

Jan. 16: Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano signs "arrangement" with Saudi minister bestowing "trusted traveler" status on Saudi student visitors, shortcutting normal security screening procedures.

April 15: Saudi college student Abdulrahman Ali Alharbi is seen near the Boston marathon finish line with two other Saudis. He's tackled after fleeing the scene of one of the bombings. Authorities question him.

April 15: FBI agents search Alharbi's apartment, leave with bags of evidence. He's described as a "person of interest" in attacks.

April 16: Secretary of State John Kerry secretly meets with the Saudi foreign minister, locking out reporters who initially were told the meeting would be open.

April 16: Saudi ambassador phones several papers and insists neither Alharbi nor any Saudi nationals are involved in the bombings. Saudi officials visit the well-connected Alharbi at a Boston hospital.

April 17: Officials clear Alharbi, who's reportedly related to al-Qaida Gitmo detainees, as a person of interest.

April 17: FBI ID from photos and videos two Mideast-looking men with bags scouting scene of bombings and circulate them among law enforcement. AP, CNN and even Boston Globe report one arrest has been made. CNN describes suspect as "dark-skinned male." Media swarm Boston courthouse for arraignment.

April 17: Obama has sudden unscheduled meeting with the Saudi foreign minister at White House.

April 17: Justice Dept. scolds CNN for arrest report. FBI cancels press conference. Courthouse bomb scare.

April 17: Terror expert Steve Emerson reports ICE has been ordered to "deport" Alharbi for "national security" reasons, out of reach of FBI questioning.

April 18: Napolitano denies Alharbi will be deported.

Today the U.K. Mirror reports that the FBI is seeking a “12-strong terrorist sleeper cell linked to (Boston Marathon bombers) brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev” saying “police believe the pair were specially trained to carry out the devastating attack

A terrorist cell?? Here, in the United States? But didn't Obama say he had all that under control???

Oh, in case you haven’t connected the dots yet, you will notice that all of the publications I have noted are not mainstream, and two of them are from England. The government-controlled-media-complex is complacently going along with Obama and his deception of the American citizens.

So what about these nay-sayers that terrorism is not an active threat to us?

The New York Times has your answer. No surprise there.

A New York Times feature story on the suspected Boston terrorists showed Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in a sympathetic light, with the headline “Far From War-Torn Homeland, Trying To Fit In” and a black-and-white picture of one of the men.

Trying to ‘FIT IN’???

Trying to “fit in” by setting off bombs at a race finish line, killing and maiming innocents??

Trying to “fit in” by walking down the street firing guns at police, throwing bombs at them, including another pressure cooker bomb??

For all of you that were lulled into complacence by the current so-called president’s denial of the terrorism threat, it is time for you to open your eyes and pay attention to what is going on around you.

Of course our daily lives aren’t going to be interrupted and impacted like events such as these. But the potential is there. Always.

It is time to stop allowing the liars and deceivers to continue their rhetoric. It is definitely time to stand up and say ‘Enough!’ The current administration and all the other politicians are perfectly fine with ignoring the situations that are broiling all over the world. All of them have blood on their hands.

The attack on the American Embassy in Benghazi was essentially ignored and pushed under the carpet, and those in Washington DC that don’t agree with what is being done are equally guilty for allowing it to happen. Four Americans were murdered!

There is a pattern to what is happening today. Terrorism has not gone away. They are regrouping and probably rejoicing in the fact that today’s Americans have short attention spans and would rather watch the latest reality show than react to and demand a response to the events that this administration refuses to address.

Ronald Reagan had it right when he gave his Radio Address to the Nation on Terrorism on May 31,1986:

Effective antiterrorist action has also been thwarted by the claim that—as the quip goes—"One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." That's a catchy phrase, but also misleading. Freedom fighters do not need to terrorize a population into submission. Freedom fighters target the military forces and the organized instruments of repression keeping dictatorial regimes in power. Freedom fighters struggle to liberate their citizens from oppression and to establish a form of government that reflects the will of the people. Now, this is not to say that those who are fighting for freedom are perfect or that we should ignore problems arising from passion and conflict. Nevertheless, one has to be blind, ignorant, or simply unwilling to see the truth if he or she is unable to distinguish between those I just described and terrorists. Terrorists intentionally kill or maim unarmed civilians, often women and children, often third parties who are not in any way part of a dictatorial regime. Terrorists are always the enemies of democracy…

His words still speak to today’s conflict of ideologies here. We cannot apply our ideology to people that are born and raised to hate and kill us. The trainers of these terrorists have embedded within their hearts and minds the hatred that drives them to take these actions. But ignoring it, or sympathizing with it will only make them more confident when they attack again.

War is not something we wish for. None of us do. But when war is being waged against us, wishing for happier days or more peaceful times is not going to make it go away. That approach will only strengthen their resolve that we are weak. And weak we will be, easy targets.
