White House blocks intelligence report warning of rising US homeland terror threat linked to Iran war

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15622933/White-House-blocks-warning-rising-threat-linked-Iran-war.html

Donald Trump’s White House is blocking top US intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about rising threats to the homeland tied to his war with Iran, the Daily Mail can reveal.

The FBI, Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center were preparing to put out a joint intelligence statement on Friday to state and local authorities alerting them of a heightened threat due to the ongoing war in Iran, a senior DHS official said.

The bulletin, which was reviewed by the Daily Mail, details 'elevated threats by the government of Iran to US military and government personnel and facilities, Jewish and Israeli institutions and their perceived supporters, and Iranian dissidents and other anti-regime activists in the United States.'

'Radicalized individuals with a variety of ideological backgrounds also may see this conflict or other geopolitical events as a justification for violence,' the report continues.

Trump wants a terrorist strike in U.S. soil. Gives him cover to bring down the hammer on political opposition, free speech and civil liberties.

You are absolutely correct. He has put the "right" (incompetent) people in charge and now has the right conditions in place to increase the odds. The victims will just be collateral damage.

I found one of BartCops GWB worst president ever stickers last week and taped it to the bathroom mirror as a joke. But looking at it I wanted to draw a circle with a line through it over his face. They did horrible things but kept up the pretense that we were a democracy. This crew stops at nothing to $hit on the constitution and our citizens. They disrespect other countries and the planet. They stop at nothing. Worst President redefined!

Trump decimated the intelligence agencies and their support staff. Trump owns every intelligence failure and any ensuing attack. And if that doesn't bring people into the streets to remove these cretins, then we might as well just give up. Do not let them get away with this bullshit.

make trump own up to anything??? This man has committed more evil and lawlessness than anyone I can think of in America's history... and yet, they clap and let him go right on committing more. If Iran would find a way to blow up something major here in the US (capitol building, for example?) trump would simply go on Fox or NewsMax and tear up the Constitution to our faces and declare himself sole ruler of the country... the King... with the ability to do anything he wants to do, as he sees fit.

Before that happens, and because he's blocking any release of warnings, he can simply declare any group "a terrorist threat" and thrown them all into his concentration camps... both here on our soil and in other countries. That includes anyone who is NOT a crazy right-wing nutjob. That includes getting all the possible voter information from states and detaining any and all who declared or might have voted "Democratically."

I have come to believe trump is Adolf Hitler reincarnated -- if not in fact, then in heart. I don't think anything is beyond him, including "showers." And I no longer believe the worst we can think of is hyperbole. We are in an existential fight not only for our country, but for our very lives and lives of our families and friends. I'm planning on being at the March 28th No Kings March, but damn... it seems like a puny response to the great evil he has done... and like the last one, nothing of import will be accomplished by it... but what else can we do? Bomb the damn capitol ourselves? I don't think so... we are NOT Maga... but I think maybe we should be studying them and taking some pages from their operating manuals, just in case. But that's just me. I just turned 70, and have a failing body on my hands. I doubt seriously I'll ever see the end of the evil and the beginning of the seeds of regrowth, but I can wish. I just don't know how that wish could come true.

I still think, at this present rate of accelerating decline, he'll be an orange puddle by years end. I listened to a bit of his rhetoric a couple weeks ago. First time since really 2016. He doesn't sound like the same man.

The man has zero business in the White House. Just like the real science behind vaccines,
climate change, and the genome of the C-19 virus’ showed evolutionary biologists that the disease
came from the “Wet Markets” in Wuhan if you don’t like the results of the data and or studies
just ignore them. Forget about all those people we are sending to foreign torture prisons, or that
friends and family members of the people we are murdering in their boats in the Caribbean or
the Iranians who were affected by the bombing of the girl’s school in Iran, or the Venezuelans who
see their own oil being stolen @ gun point those people aren’t going to come back seeking revenge.

Terrorist retaliation is a done deal.

Trump went to a military prep school instead of juvenile detention facility after he beat up a younger
student and tried to throw one of his teacher out of a 2nd story window. His own mother would move
out of her own house when he would come home.

Retribution attack on the US. He then said we’re lucky to be in California because they’d probably hit the east coast first. It gave me chills.
