The one thing that is apparently clear: there is no ability by these extremist groups to coordinate an attack similar to 9/11.

 

Yes, they could do something extreme. But they'd not be able to coordinate pilot training, years of integration, and further have everyone systematically involved like it was on 9/11 with likely 100 that knew the operation

 

Why do you think that is? What's changed?

TSA is a mother *****??‍♂️

 

And we have attacked them on their soil, broke up some of the wbes connecting them and have resouced out the up close grit and dirt to others to finish up to keep our hands clean.

The biggest thing that's changed, in my opinion, is that the terror networks drew too much attention to themselves with 9/11. The world is now looking for these types of plots, and very few methods of communication exist that are not subject to some type of government intercept (even bin Laden had to use thumb drives to communicate, using personal delivery, to evade detection... for a time.) If they cannot communicate securely, they cannot do more than coordinate locally. Any type of intricate planning has a significant likelihood of being detected.

 

The second biggest change is the assault on their ability to gather and use resources - specifically money. People cannot travel with large sums of cash, and they cannot wire large sums of money around without risking notice.

All plays a role. 

 

I would suggest, as Tasker is above, another element is they've been cut off from rogue elements of western intelligence services who had been a big logistical support element for their operations in decades past.

!!!! Father of the Taliban

 

 

Killed in his room... guess is GCC/US/Israeli operation.

 

The shadow war is real and ongoing. Real monsters are being taken out without fanfare. 

 

"Father of the Taliban" is a reference to him being Mullah Omar's teacher, not to him actually "fathering" the Taliban.

Correct. And he was responsible for the deaths of thousands of afghanis. His death is a boon for the world at large.

Because he ran a madrassa and led a Pakistani political party?

The evidence keeps mounting of what we've been discussing: 

 

Think about this in context of everything else we've learned, and with regards to our entire HUMINT network in China being wiped out. 

 

The previous administration, and their intelligence officials, turned a blind eye (at best) while China and Iran completely eviscerated our intelligence capabilities inside their governments. 

 

This man deserves EVERYTHING that's coming his way.

(note how the Yahoo story tries to spin this as if it was public knowledge our network in Iran got rolled up between 2010-2013... it wasn't.)

If this story is true - and it has the feel of being true and accurately reported - this would mean that the CIA/DNI falsely prosecuted Jerry Lee specifically to hide this.  :blink:

 I’ve said it before I’ll say it again. Barack Hussein Obama was and is a traitor.

I won’t go that far. I’ve said it repeatedly over and over that he was a Putney Swope. He is perhaps the quintessential embodiment of The Peter Principle. 

 

In in the end, after his film-flam jimmy-jammy administration’s time was up, he grabbed all the cash he could and took off in a helicopter. But he didn’t ride off into the sunset. He’s still lurking in and on the fringes.

Given that this breach has roots going back to 2005, and had typical bureaucratic inertia as one of its root causes, it's difficult to pin the breach on Obama.

 

The failure to address it in a timely fashion, though...entirely on his intel people.
