Trump White House Reportedly Blocking Intelligence Report Warning of Homeland Security Threats in Midst of Iran War
Trump White House Reportedly Blocking Intelligence Report Warning of Homeland Security Threats in Midst of Iran War
So let me get this straight, when Iran retaliates, it’s terrorism, but not when Israel or the US does it to schools and hospitals, Huh?
Convenient labeling, ain’t it?
Anyone who didn’t think this would increase the threat of terrorism has forgotten what they said they never would.
(Or they weren’t born yet.)
I’m… honestly both in awe and aghast at how fucking blatant the regime is being about it. They’ve literally shut down the team that is in charge of addressing and categorizing security threats to the US originating from Iran immediately before starting a fucking war with Iran. Like… I just… what the actual fuck. I can’t even.
Between this and the documents leaked about their plans for the election, the intent couldn’t be more obvious if they put it on a fucking billboard. I hate that it comes down to such imbecilically stupid and petty US political bullshit like that, and that it’s killing so many people and fucking up so may other parts of the world… but seriously, I really think that was a massive part of their rationale here. It’s a distraction (operation Epstein fury), combined with creating an extremely obvious opening for an asymmetrical/terroristic threat that will be used as a justification for removing the electoral process. That’s the plan.

Just days before the United States launched a major military operation in Iran, FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen agents and staff members from a counterintelligence unit tasked with monitoring threats from Iran, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
I’ve been telling everyone I know that it’s extremely obvious they’re trying to provoke a terror attack on US soil.
They want another 9/11, so they can indefinitely cancel elections. That’s the whole fucking plan.
We didn’t cancel elections after 9/11, and we’ve NEVER cancelled an election in this country, not even during the Civil War.
There is NO justification for cancelling elections, under ANY circumstances.
Donald Trump is Constitutionally ineligible to be President right now. But here we are. Hopes, prayers, and traditions will not save us from the fucking Nazis.
Besides, the goal isn’t to cancel elections, it’s to control them. Control who gets to vote and for what.
Exactly. W won a second term largely due to 9/11, I’d wager. He started off as extremely divisive and polarizing. Most people were at least deeply sus of him, if not considering him entirely illegitimate. The economy starts to implode.
Fast forward a few months, 9/11 happens, and most of the Murc’s Law Media is falling all over themselves to prostrate before W. People acting like not voting for Republicans is not supporting the troops, or whatever the fuck.
Without 9/11, I don’t see how that guy would have had a second term.
I could easily see a repeat here if there was some big terrorist event that they could blame on Iran. The real blame should lie with Pedonald and his maladministration for attacking Iran and doing a shit job on security here, but we have way too many idiots in this country that operate like windsocks.
Every time diaper donnie talks about golf, I think of this story. It was relevant in his first failed term, now that he’s gone completely unchained in his second failed term, especially when we see his cabinet “meetings” and the way he holds pressers in front of a compliant media, all the more so…
But in the 1990s - another moment in time when an event in North Korea varies (some say it happened in 1991 and others in 1994), the late dictator, then 50 (or 53) years old, set a golfing standard that will assuredly never be surpassed. It occurred at the grand opening of the Pyongyang Golf Complex, which contains North Korea’s only 18-hole golf course.
After picking up a golf club that day for the very first time in his life, the Dear Leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea fired a 38-under-par round of 34 at Pyongyang. According to the 17 security guards who observed the performance, the score included an amazing 11 aces. Naturally, the event was dutifully reported to the North Korean masses by the state news agency.
Pretty much
Anyone enjoying their trump vote, so far?
I’m thinking the magatards who cannot even remember what they said they stood for yesterday have permanent erections from things like: fighting “woke”, crushing any remaining dissent in media and entertainment, bombing fishing boats, starting a war with Iran, threatening most of our allies, and most of all, kidnapping and disappearing brown people while shooting protesters.
Will it do them any good at all? Nope. If they were living in a trailer and eking out a miserable existence before, they still will be. It will most likely be even more miserable since things like food and health have been ripped away from many Americans. But at least they get to whoop it up over breaking the country and making others’ lives miserable.
A Mediaite repost of Daily Mail…
I keep saying this over, and over, and over again in this community. Keep information hygiene in mind, please. Post the original source at least, and try to avoid serial reposters, like Mediaite. Mention Mediaite in the body as your original reference, if you wish.
…And try to avoid tabloids like Daily Mail, too, or at least mention a “take the source with a grain of salt” in the post’s body if its an interesting original report. This is good reference to start with:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…/Perennial_sources
But no one ever cares.
Past commenters seem to agree when I bring this up, yet poster and mods don’t do anything.
This is the final straw for me. I don’t like blocking anything; I’ve only blocked two other Lemmy communities, one a bot spamming one. But I’m blocking /c/News, as apparently it isn’t going to change, and I came to the fediverse to get away from mass-upvoted tabloid reposts flooding the top of my feed.
