FBI Reportedly Thwarted Multiple 4th Of July Attacks On U.S. By ISIS
While the rest of the American population was working to plan their 4th of July weekends, the FBI was working vigilantly to make sure that our homeland was safe from ISIS. In the weeks leading up to the 4th of July, the FBI made several arrests in connections with ISIS and 4th of July attacks intended to kill Americans, according to FBI Director James Comey.
From NBC News:
“We made the arrests to thwart what we thought they were up to,” he added. “Some of them were focused on the Fourth of July, and that’s as specific as I can get.”
He declined to say how many of those arrested were planning to carry out attacks or to describe the nature of what they were planning.
Some of those arrested, he said, had been using end-to-end encryption programs to communicate with ISIS.
He said that ISIS usually goes on the spur of the moment attacks and have really simple plans. Apparently the 7 Ps of planning weren’t involved in ISIS training. Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. That’s something that we here in America do well when it comes to terrorists.
I said it yesterday, and I’ll mention it again: The USA military, counter-terrorism units, CIA, and FBI are just too powerful. You can come at us, but we aren’t going to be backing down to anyone. In the meantime, if you guys over at ISIS need a little refresher on what we’re capable of, peep this vid:

10 years ago at 10:50 amI see you’ve time traveled from August 2001, you have a lot to catch up on.
10 years ago at 10:56 amFuck he was probably born in August 2001 with the way this site’s been lately.
10 years ago at 11:46 amJust wish our cyber security was as effective. Jesus what an embarrassment.
10 years ago at 11:22 amGood thing the goat fuckers haven’t figured out what a computer is yet
10 years ago at 12:39 pmThat’s completely false. ISIS successfully recruits through forums and social media and their execution videos, especially the Jordanian pilot video looks like something Hollywood would make.
10 years ago at 3:16 pmYeah, IS has their own hacking division. The cyber caliphate or some shit. They’re likely eons behind sovereign states in terms of cyber war, but they’re probably close on par with anonymous.
10 years ago at 10:47 pmOffensively we are unmatched. We made a virus that broke most of Iran’s centrifuges. Defense is a bit harder, esp since most the targets are private companies with limited resources.
10 years ago at 1:06 amGreat article until you said, “peep this vid.”
10 years ago at 11:34 amNo they didn’t. They arrested a bunch if yahoos who were talking trash on twitter. Thomas Jefferson warned us about trading security for liberty.
10 years ago at 11:45 amActually that was Ben Franklin, but I agree with you.
10 years ago at 1:04 pmI know this is going to get downvoted, but I don’t believe them for a second. With all the backlash against the fact that the 4th Amendment is basically not a thing anymore, I would not for a second put it past the FBI to make this shit up to justify their actions. It’s in the government’s best interest, not to keep us safe, but to keep us afraid.
10 years ago at 1:03 pmI agree and people who say things like this are considered unpatriotic when criticizing the government. However our founding fathers saw that as the most patriotic thing a citizen can do.
Psychopaths that lust for power. That’s who gets into politics. When decent people do it they are sickened by it. Thats why are government was set up on the basic premise that government cannot and should not be trusted. People seem to forget the terrifying reality that we have become a country with the Patriot ACT, NSA spying, to big to fail government ,militarized police, indefinite detention,illegal asset seziure etc… Rights that took hundreds of years and so much blood to win are being given away out of manufactured fear.
10 years ago at 3:04 pmAbsolutely. And our soldiers are being used as toys in their power play and I think that’s the sickest thing of all. So fucking ready for Rand. He won’t magically solve all this shit, but it’d be a damn good start.

10 years ago at 1:08 pmI like how you used a clip of an American killing a towel head from a Russian state run news agency. True multi-culturalism.
