Here’s The Stunning Fact the DHS is NOT Telling You About the Mall of America Terror Threat
By Brian Hayes on February 23, 2015

One of the largest malls in the United States has heightened security after a video claiming to be posted online by a Somali militant group affiliated with al Qaeda called for attacks against the mall.

But the threat has an added dimension of danger that neither the DHS nor the media is not telling you about, because it involves Barack Obama’s open borders policies.

The Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, issued a statement Saturday, saying it had increased security in light of the video purportedly from al-Shabab, which took credit for the deadly attack at a Kenyan mall that killed at least 67 civilians in 2013.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson called the video the “new phase we’ve evolved in terms of the global terrorist threat and what we need to do in terms of counter-terrorism.”



“Groups like ISIL [ISIS], al-Shabab, AQAP (al Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula) are now publicly calling for attacks either through the internet, through videos, through publications, which means that we need to respond militarily but we also have to have a whole government approach through law enforcement,” Johnson said. “We’re in a new phase now and I’m afraid that this most recent video release reflects that.”

Matt Olsen, former director of the National Counterterrorism Center and current ABC News consultant, said despite al-Shabab not having previously attempted such an attack in the U.S., “this type of threat can’t be discounted, and the FBI and local police departments will have to take appropriate steps in response.” http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/homeland-security.htm

But neither the DHS, or mainstream media is informing the public of two critical facts.

Firstly, that the Mall of America is located near the largest concentration of Somali “refugees” in the United States, in Minneapolis-St. Paul. And that nearly all the “American” Muslims who have joined ISIS have been Somalis from the Minneapolis metro area. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/06...longside-isis/

But second, and far more disturbing, is that 300 terrorists from Al-Shabaab — the group behind this threat – have entered the U.S. over our Southern border and are unaccounted for.

You heard that right. Watch this stunning report TRN first revealed last May: http://toprightnews.com/?p=1613



Ask yourself why the media — and Obama Administration — are hiding this critical information from you, in light of this serious threat from the very group that has penetrated Obama’s open border?

The Somali Al Queda terrorists came across 2 years ago. How many more may have come across during last summer, when Obama threw the border wide open to 280,000 illegal aliens, the vast majority of whom were left free to enter our nation?

Obama’s DHS won’t tell us, his lapdog media doesn’t want to know. What we do know is that the border is more insecure than ever, with Obama having taken hundreds of agents off the border, and reduced patrols in critical border crossing areas. And Congress is nowhere to be found.

Feel safer?

Mall of America – Protected from Jihadist Attack by Gun Free Zone Signs

Posted on February 22, 2015 by Dean Weingarten

The FBI is setting up command centers at all of its 56 field offices across the country ahead of the July 4 weekend, to monitor any potential terrorist threats, law enforcement sources have revealed.

Sources told Fox News that local, state and federal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. will be reporting any information about possible attacks to these command centers - where officials will decide how to respond.

The move comes amid growing fears that the terror group ISIS is working to awaken sleeper cells in Western nations, after sympathizers were linked to three back-to-back attacks in France, Kuwait and Tunisia last Friday.

While the FBI says there has been no specific credible threat so far, it seems to be more active in its warnings and actions ahead of Independence Day this year than previously.

ASSAULT WEAPONS STOLEN FROM ARMY RESERVE
While the FBI and local officials in Worcester, MA claim there is no immediate danger, a plane leaving Reagan International with FOX NEWS contributor, Laura Ingrahams aboard, had 2 'Middle Eastern' looking men removed from the plane that was headed for Boston.

I'm wondering if these two 'isolated' incidents might be connected.

Just days after its horrific terror attacks in Paris, France, the Islamic State has released a new video warning that countries participating in Syrian airstrikes will face similar consequences. The video names specific targets — including Washington, D.C., “America’s centre” — just like they “struck France in the centre of its abode in Paris.”



Via The Blaze:

“We say to the states that take part in the crusader campaign that, by God, you will have a day, God willing, like France’s and by God, as we struck France in the center of its abode in Paris, then we swear that we will strike America at its center in Washington,” a man dressed in fatigues and a turban and identified in subtitles as Al Ghareeb the Algerian said, according to Reuters.

The same man also warned of more attacks in Europe.

I say to the European countries that we are coming, coming with booby traps and explosives, coming with explosive belts and (gun) silencers and you will be unable to stop us because today we are much stronger than before,” the man said.

Another man in the video, who Reuters reported was identified in as “Al Karrar the Iraqi” had a message for French President Francois Hollande: “We have decided to negotiate with you in the trenches and not the hotels.”

The video, the authenticity of which was not immediately possible to verify, appeared on the site used by the Islamic State to post messages. It began with footage of the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday which killed more than 120 people.

As The Right Scoop suggests, it is worth noting that it’s typical for ISIS videos to take a few days to be “officially” verified, even after they are widely accepted as authentic.

One thing we should appreciate about ISIS is it has been direct about its intentions. It’s openly told us it will use the Syrian “refugee crisis” to import terrorists and now it’s telling us exactly where it will strike in the future.

I, for one, think we should start taking the group’s warnings seriously.

President Obama, what are YOU waiting for???

ALERT: Anonymous uncovers ISIS plan to attack 7 cities TOMORROW … including this U.S. city

Written by Michelle Jesse, Associate Editor on November 21, 2015
It’s clear Islamic jihadists are on a rampage, with two major attacks in the past eight days and multiple others apparently narrowly averted. The Belgian capital of Brussels is currently on lockdown and at the highest levels of alert, indicating a “serious and immediate threat,” after an “arsenal” of explosives and chemicals was discovered in a home raid earlier.






Now, we’re getting word of ISIS’ plans to attack several locations tomorrow, Sunday — including the U.S. city of Atlanta, Georgia. The report from the online activist group Anonymous — which declared war against ISIS in the wake of the Paris attacks — is reportedly being taken “seriously” by the FBI. http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/local...atlanta/npSN9/

As International Business Times reports: http://www.ibtimes.com/anonymous-say...sunday-2194926

Anonymous, the loose collective of online activists, said Saturday it has uncovered information about Islamic State group attacks in Paris as well as at locations in the U.S., Indonesia, Italy and Lebanon, all apparently set for Sunday. OpParisIntel, a group within Anonymous, released a statement saying it had collected information about imminent attacks by the militant group — aka Daesh, ISIL and ISIS — in the French capital a little more than a week after a series of coordinated attacks there left 130 dead and hundreds injured.

Anonymous also said the Islamic State group is planning an assault at the WWE Survivor Series event scheduled to take place in the Philips Arena in Atlanta Sunday at 7.30 p.m. EST, as well as attacks at multiple events in Paris.

The targets listed by Anonymous are as follow:

•Cigales Electroniques with Vocodecks, RE-Play & Rawtor at Le Bizen (Paris)
•Concrete Invites Drumcode: Adam Beyer, Alan Fitzpatrick, Joel Mull at Concrete (Paris)
•Demonstration by Collectif du Droit des Femmes (Paris)
•Feast of Christ the King celebrations (Rome/Worldwide)
•Al-Jihad, One Day One Juz (Indonesia)
•Five Finger Death Punch (Milan)
•University Pastoral Day (Holy Spirit University of Kaslik, Lebanon)

According to Anonymous: “We only appeared now because our goal was to remain undercover and report everything to the right authorities and let them take all the action. But when authorities do not take action, Anonymous does. This part of the op started last Monday and has [been] and will be active 24 hours a day as long as the op is going on.”

Speaking to International Business Times, Anonymous said it had passed proof to the MI5 intelligence agency in the U.K., the CIA and FBI in the U.S., and the Australian government but that it has no plans to release the proof publicly. “If we share the proof [publicly], everyone will start calling it fake because screenshots can be edited and accounts can be deleted. We have purposely not shared account links publicly because they would be shut down immediately and then no one would believe the proof.”

Anonymous declared war on the Islamic State group last week, vowing to track it down online as part of its Operation Paris (or OpParis). It has since released a guide for all those looking to take part in the operation, which already has identified tens of thousands of Twitter accounts it said are associated with the militant group while also taking some websites offline. The Islamic State group has responded to the threat by Anonymous, warning of a retaliatory attack on the activist group.

Local Atlanta news reports speaking with the director of the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, Jim Butterworth, who said his agency is working closely with the FBI, the Georgia Information Sharing and Analysis Center and others in evaluating the threat on a Sunday WWE event in Atlanta reported by the group Anonymous.

While we don’t wish to be alarmist, we do feel a responsibility to keep y’all informed. Forewarned is forearmed. And hate to say that President Obama’s leadership doesn’t inspire any sort of confidence that our administration is on top of this.

In cases like this, we certainly pray the threats don’t pan out.


UPDATE: 3:05 p.m. EST — The FBI Saturday said in a statement it is aware of an alleged threat by the Islamic State group to stage an attack on a WWE event scheduled for Atlanta Sunday evening. However, FBI Special Agent in Charge J. Britt Johnson of the Atlanta office said the bureau did not have “specific or credible information of an attack.”

The FBI is aware of reports of an alleged threat that includes an Atlanta, Georgia, venue and event. …

We have … made the proper notifications as we continue to work closely with our law-enforcement and private-sector partners to keep our community safe.”

UPDATE 4:45 p.m. EST: Anonymous later posted a tweet saying that it did not know where rumors of the planned attacks originated.

The collective published the list of potential targets alongside a statement: “The goal is to make sure the whole world, or at least the people going to these events, know that there have been threats and that there is possibility of an attack to happen. Another goal is to make sure Daesh knows that the world knows and cancels the attacks, which will disorientate them for a while.”
