Homegrown Terrorism Thread

This report came out November 15 and no doubt is the basis being used in S.1867 National Defense Authorization Act...If you read the report provided at the alternative link below under the area of (Homegrown Jihadist Terrorists: The Problem) ...You will see that what concerns the authorities about homegrown terrorism is the use of firearms to carry out assaults because of the lack of material and support for larger suicide bombings.

Also they highlight Islam as the main proponent to radicalization and jihadism...Which stands clearly against the approach of the Obama administration to downplay Islam...

The report, “American Jihadist Terrorism: Combating a Complex Threat,” released by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) on Nov. 15, defines what “homegrown” terror activity is and makes policy recommendations to Congress on how to handle the threat. It also delves into specifics on each plot.

The report said the term “jihadist” describes radicalized individuals using Islam as an ideological and/or religious justification for their belief in the establishment of a global caliphate, or jurisdiction governed by a Muslim civil and religious leader known as a caliph.

It is sad that there are only 53 when the actions of our government should warrant about 330000000 plots against them. How very fortunate that the vast majority have been made too lazy and ignorant to give a damn.

Yeah and probably half of them were made by CIA handlers and the other half was hyped.

The only plots against the government are within the government and within the banking system. Those are the terrorists with power.

If you have a choice, do you go against the little wannabe terrorist with a handgun that want to kill ``a politician`` or do you go against the people who have hundreds of billions of bucks to take over the government and buy everyone in it?

Of the 53 how many were "setup" by the F.B.I. ? Almost every single "plot" I have seen happen in the last ten years comes with the following precursor "The F.B.I. had an informant that provided all knowledge and all previously unavailable bomb making materials for nearly two years before the idiot actually tried to follow though and build a bomb"..............

I am so incredibly sick of this Governments B.S. that I am seriously considering moving to North Vietnam....... I am in fact going on a fact finding tour in March and am considering entering into a partnership with the N.V. Military. At least they are honest about their corruption.....

These plots are always thought up by the informant. The people protecting us are the ones recruiting and training of the terrorists. It is another part of the terrorist factory. One of these days this sort of investigating is going to go horribly wrong.

San Diego: Somali refugee pleads guilty to helping funnel jihadists from Minnesota to al-Shabaab

" Twenty people have been charged in the state in connection with the travelers and alleged terror financing. Others have been charged in St. Louis with funneling money to the terror group, and Yusuf was among four people charged in San Diego in late 2010 with helping al-Shabab. "

A Somali refugee living in San Diego pleaded guilty in federal court Thursday to aiding four men who left Minnesota to join a Somali terror group, including one man who is suspected of carrying out a suicide bombing in the African nation in October.

Prosecutors have said Nima Yusuf conspired in Southern California and elsewhere to aid al-Shabab, an al-Qaida-linked militia trying to create an Islamic state in Somalia. As part of her plea, the 25-year-old permanent resident of the U.S. acknowledged that she agreed to help the men with money and personnel.

Singer Cat Stevens was banned from entry to the US because he gave money to a fund that helps Muslim children. Is he one of the attackers that we were saved from? Good thing, because I am being followed by a moon shadow.

Al Shabaab: Recruitment and Radicalization within the Muslim American Community and the Threat to the Homeland

This a Majority Investigative Report submitted by the 112 Congress, U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Homeland Security submitted on July 27, 2011.

The report highlights the growing threat by al-Shabaab al-Mujahideen in Somalia, Al- Qaeda's major ally in East Africa and its efforts to radicalize and recruit Muslim-Americans inside the U.S..

Source

The Majority staff of the Committee on Homeland Security has conducted an investigation into the threat by al-Shabaab al-Mujahideen in Somalia, Al Qaeda’s major ally in East Africa, and its efforts to radicalize and recruit Muslim-Americans inside the U.S. The key finding is that there is a looming danger of American Shabaab fightersreturning to the U.S. to strike or helping Al Qaeda and its affiliates attack the homeland.

U.S. intelligence underestimated the Pakistani Taliban and Al Qaeda in Yemen’s capability of launching attacks here; we cannot afford to make the same mistake with Shabaab. The Majority staff interviewed dozens of current and former counterterror officials, scholars, diplomats and other experts on Shabaab and Muslim-American radicalization to reach these conclusions.

Massachusetts Man Convicted of Terror Support


" Tarek Mehanna was arrested for lying to the FBI in a terrorism investigation involving the whereabouts and activities of Daniel Maldonado, a former resident of Metheun, Massachusetts, who was suspected of training in an Al Qaeda terrrorist camp to overthrow the Somali government. A subsequent complaint affidavit alleged that Mehanna and coconspirators discussed their desire to participate in violent jihad against American interests. It was further alleged that Mehanna and two of his associates traveled to the Middle East in February 2004, seeking military-type training at a terrorist training camp that would prepare them for armed jihad against U.S. interests, including U.S. and allied forces in Iraq. One of Mehanna's coconspirators also made two similar trips to Pakistan in 2002. According to the affidavit, Mehanna and the coconspirators had multiple conversations about obtaining automatic weapons and randomly shooting people in a shopping mall. In December 2011, Mehanna was found guilty on all counts, including four terrorism-related charges and three charges related to providing false information to the government. "

We go from 2001 to 2015 with no Radical Muslim terrorist attacks of any magnitude inside our country.

In December 2015 we have San Bernardino mass murders at the hands of radial Muslims. Seven months later, we have Orlando mass murders by the hands of a radical Muslim.

Personally, I think all the San Bernardino attention in the Media, on Facebook, in Blogs and Forums like ATS, emboldened other wanna-be terrorists.

The huge amount of attention that USA terrorist attacks brings to the Martyred Terrorist Murderer, makes attention seekers more eager find a way to "sign up" with ISIS, and for those already trained by ISIS to be more determined to commit mass killings inside the United States.

I realize that in today's world, the massive "chatter" surrounding these attacks can't be eliminated, or even reduced. But it's troubling that these terrorists now know that they'll get many days of dominating the USA headlines, on every media platform, in addition to the virgins and other rewards.

If Orlando mass murder Omar Mateen is able to see what's going on in the aftermath of his heinous attack, he'd be very pleased.
