Y’all know I have this weird affliction. It’s like a brain itch. I remember weird details. Anyway, the long-convoluted story winds around former CIA Director George Tenet eventually getting a summer one-on-one with George “Dubya” Bush, after several months of being blocked by National Security Advisor Condi Rice.
In essence, the short version is, Tenet informed Dubya in the summer of ’01 of intel chatter about airplanes and terror threats. Dubya asked for specifics, and Tenet is quoted as saying, “the gaps in our intelligence are real.” {citation either in Condi’s book, Rove’s book or Dubya’s book – I’ll find it} However, for the sake of this outline, watch what FBI Director Christopher Wray says today, in response to Senator Rick Scott. [PROMPTED – 3 minutes]
.
Director Wray notes the FBI threat metric dropped during the Trump administration and has now increased during the Biden administration. Then, in response to the follow up [5:40], Wray notes the FBI is not tracking “currently operating” terror cells or foreign terror cells in the United States. WTF? Then comes the money quote, “the gaps in our intelligence are real, and that’s something we have concerns about.”
I’m not saying the FBI is not tracking currently operating foreign terror cells located in the USA, FBI Director Christopher Wray is.
BACKGROUND on FBI – As we discovered in January of this year, the FBI was fully aware of the terrorist who was planning to shoot the synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, and yet they did nothing.
The FBI knowledge of the shooter, Malik Faisal Akram, who was known as Faisal Akram, was confirmed by The Daily Mail. Akram ranted, prior to his travel to the U.S, that he wished he had died in the 9/11 terror attacks. He was a regular visitor to Pakistan, and reportedly a member of the Tablighi Jamaat group set up to ‘purify’ Islam. To say the U.S. intelligence system knew Faisal Akram would be an understatement.
The FBI was also fully aware of the Boston Marathon bombers, the Tsarnaev brothers, before they executed their plot. The FBI took no action.
The FBI knew about the San Bernardino terrorists, specifically Tashfeen Malik, and were monitoring her phone calls and communications before her and Syed Farook executed their attack killing 14 people and leaving 22 others seriously injured. The FBI took no action.
The FBI knew Colorado grocery store shooter Ahmad Alissa before he executed his attack. The FBI took no action.
The FBI knew in advance of the Pulse Nightclub shooter (Omar Mateen) and were tipped off by the local sheriff. The FBI knew in advance of the San Bernardino Terrorists (Tashfeen Malik). The FBI knew in advance of the Boston Marathon Bombers (the Tsarnaev brothers) tipped off by Russians. The FBI knew in advance of the Parkland High School shooter (Nikolas Cruz). The FBI knew in advance of the Fort Hood shooter (Nidal Hasan), and the FBI knew in advance of Colorado grocery store shooter Ahmad al-Aliwi Alissa. The FBI took no action.
The case of the first recorded ISIS attack on U.S. soil was in Garland, Texas in 2015.
The FBI not only knew the shooters (Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi) in advance, BUT the FBI ALSO took the shooters to the venue and were standing only a few yards away when Simpson and Soofi opened fire. Yes, you read that correctly – the FBI took the terrorists to the event and then watched it unfold. “An FBI trainer suggested in an interview with “60 Minutes” that, had the attack been bigger, the agency’s numerous ties to the shooter would have led to a congressional investigation.”
Remember, shortly before the 2018 mid-term election, when Ceasar Syoc – a man living in his van – was caught sending “energetic material that can become combustible when subjected to heat or friction”, or what FBI Director Christopher Wray called “not hoax devices”?
Remember how sketchy everything about that was, including the child-like perpetrator telling a judge later that he was trying to walk back his guilty plea, because he was tricked into signing a confession for a crime he did not create.
Or more recently, the goofball plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer that involved 18 suspects, twelve of them actually working for the FBI as the plot was hatched? And we cannot forget the January 6th. DC protest turned insurrection effort, which is clearly looking like an FBI inspired and coordinated effort; and unlike Syoc, despite the numerous CCTV cameras and resources in the area, they cannot find who placed the pipe-bombs?
Have we forgotten the Atlanta “Olympic Park Bombing”, and the FBI intentionally setting up transparently innocent, Richard Jewel?
What about the FBI failing to investigate the assassination of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens in Benghazi. Did we forget when Robert Mueller’s FBI waiting 19 days after the attack before showing up at the compound?…. All evidence long destroyed.
Then, there’s the entirety of the FBI conduct in “Spygate”, the demonstrably evident FBI operation to conduct political surveillance against Donald Trump using their investigative authorities; and the downstream consequences of a massive institutional effort to cover up one of the biggest justice department scandals in the history of our nation. The original effort against Donald Trump used massive resources from the DOJ and FBI. Heck, the coverup operation using the Mueller/Weissmann special counsel used more than 50 investigative FBI agents alone.
And of course, the FBI still had 13 extra agents available to rush to a NASCAR racetrack to investigate a garage door pull-down rope that might have been perceived as a noose; but the serial rape of hundreds of teenage girls, eh, not-so-much effort – even when Olympic gymnasts are standing in front of the FBI begging for help.
[At this point, I am increasingly convinced by evidence, there are elements within the FBI that are enablers involved in sex trafficking, human smuggling, abduction, counterfeiting and money laundering as part of their operational mission.]
The FBI didn’t make a mistake or drop the proverbial ball in the Olympic gymnast case, they intentionally and specifically maintained the sexual exploitation of teenage girls by doing absolutely nothing with the complaints they received. This is not misconduct, this is purposeful.
Then, as if to apply salt to the open wound of severe FBI politicization…. what did the FBI do with the Hunter Biden laptop?
[Notice I’ve set the issue of the disappearing Huma Abedin/Anthony Weiner laptop –in the known custody of the FBI– over there in the corner, next to the missing investigation of the Awan brothers.]
More recently, the FBI executed a search warrant on the home and office of Project Veritas and the founder James O’Keefe. While the raid was taking place, a New York Times reporter called O’Keefe to ask him about his thoughts on getting raided. The same New York Times journalist, a few days later, then begins writing about the confidential attorney-client privileged information illegally retrieved then leaked by the FBI during their raid.
♦My point is this…
What the Federal Security Service (FSB) is to the internal security of the Russian state; so too is the FBI in performing the same function for the U.S. federal government.
The FBI is a U.S. version of the Russian “State Police”; and the FBI is deployed -almost exclusively- to attack domestic enemies of those who control government, while they protect the interests of the U.S. Fourth Branch of Government. That is the clear and accurate domestic prism to contextualize their perceived mission: “domestic violent extremists pose the greatest threat” to their objective.
Put another way, “We The People” who fight against government abuse and usurpation, are the FBI’s actual and literal enemy.
Let me be very clear with another brutally obvious example. Antifa could not exist as an organization, capable to organize and carry out violent attacks against their targets, without the full support of the FBI. If the FBI wanted to arrest members of Antifa, who are actually conducting violence, they could do it easily – with little effort.
It is the absence of any action by the FBI toward Antifa, that tells us the FBI is enabling that violent extremist behavior to continue. Once you accept that transparent point of truth, then you realize the FBI definition of domestic violent extremism is something else entirely.
The FBI is not a law enforcement or investigative division of the U.S. Department of Justice. The FBI is a political weapon of a larger institution that is now focused almost entirely toward supporting a radical communist agenda to destroy civil society in the United States.
The current mission of the FBI is to facilitate, preserve and protect the administration of Joe Biden. Anyone who continues to push the fraudulent “honorable FBI rank and file talking point”, is, at this point in history, willfully and purposefully operating to deceive the American people on behalf of government interests who are intent on destroying us.
It is not a difference of opinion any longer. Personally, I have lost the ability to sit comfortably or intellectually with anyone who pushes or accepts the ‘mistakes are made’ nonsense. The FBI is not making mistakes, they are doing well what is important to them.
To me, it comes down to a simple matter of accepting what is continually staring us in the face.
Additionally, as we frustratingly watched the outcome of the Michael Sussmann trial, we should never lose sight of the fact that 40 FBI agents were involved in the Mueller-Weissmann probe to investigate the fraudulent construct created by Hillary Clinton and crew. 40 FBI agents? And, according to the outcome of the Sussmann trial, the FBI knew it was all a ruse.
This is why and how the Fourth Branch of U.S. Government is now the superseding apparatus above all other branches. {GO DEEP} This is why and how Barack Obama, John Brennan and Eric Holder created it, cemented it, and made it impervious to any effort to remove it.
Remember when Henry Cuellar was critical of the Biden administration’s open border policies that were hurting his Texas district? Less than a month after going public with his criticisms, the FBI raids on his home and office began. The same FBI that raided the home of James O’Keefe while coordinating their search with the New York Times.
The Fourth Branch of Government is corrupt; heck, the J6 committee was defending the corrupt FBI, participating with the corrupt FBI, selling a joint J6 operation that involved the FBI. The corrupt media have aligned with the corrupt FBI, and the justice institutions in/around this legal framework are self-aware and fully autonomous.
As the Twitter files show, the DOJ and FBI through the authority of DHS now have the ability to monitor every single aspect of every life that might seek to challenge or destroy the corrupt system. However, actual “terrorists,” known foreign inspired terrorists, not so much. Because….
…. “The gaps in our intelligence are real.”
History doesn’t always repeat, but it rhymes.

In my memory, the FBI has not stopped a single terror attack in this country.
Oh, they always have the perps on the radar.
But they are either incapable, or unwilling, to stop anything.
And, what’s their yearly budget?
The only purpose it serves is running interference for our enemies.
The FBI knew Lee Harvey Oswald (JFK’s shooter) before he executed his attack. The FBI took no action.
.
This ‘The FBI took no action.’ goes back years …
“The gaps in our intelligence” are willful blindness. The FBI could easily monitor and disrupt these terrorist acts but chooses not to. Why? I’m reminded of Wayne LaPierre’s atomic sledgehammer of truth regarding the lax attitude of the Clinton Administration towards enforcement of existing law: “I think the president’s comfortable with a certain level of violence.”
We can only conclude that the Biden Administration and FBI want terror attacks to occur, because it serves their agenda.
If the ACLU wanted to redeem, repair their image, they ought to take on the case of Cesar Sayoc and bust him out.
Why didn’t the judge say, “wait, what is going on here” . . .
Cesar Sayoc needs to be liberated and compensated for wrongful incarceration, as do the J6 prisoners.
I believe the default position for true pro American citizens concerning any news or terrorist event is that the CIA and/or FBI were involved unless and until proven otherwise. The presumption of innocence is a citzen right, not a govt right.
You cannot go wrong by taking this position, but you are vulnerable to propaganda otherwise.
It’s a fascinating study in contrasts, the FBI can roll up a group of shitposters and meticulously detail their planning, coordination, and movements in a “kidnapping plot” against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer …
But Antifa is “an idea” not an organization, so they’re absolutely dumbfounded about how to infiltrate, investigate, or prosecute them. I don’t think they’re trying very hard. Or at all.
And don’t forget the Nashville TN Christmas Day 2020 bombing on the city street that just happened to be at/near good ole Ma’Bell’s regional communications center that shut down for 36-hours. No one killed and FBI found Anthony Quinn dna found same day.
Filed under “suddenly dropped from news cycle”. Along with Jan 6 pipe bombs.
Anarchotyranny. You’re living in it.
Voting will solve nothing in the end, though we all will continue to do so in hope of peace and actual justice prevailing.
Ultimately we need our Caesar, as terrifying (and terrible) as it will be. That is the real big ugly.
“The gaps in our intelligence are real.”
The gaps in your integrity & honesty are even more apparent!
YES. Considering that many elite in the EU administation are bought into sex trafficking, how could the US guvmint avoid it completely? The evidence of it is profound, pervasive, inescapable to anyone who wants to look hard enough.
Just glanced at Wray’s bio.
Born NYC, family connections to corporate law firms. He attended the Phillips academy (both bushes are alumni) and the Buckley school. Yale law degree. Deep state from birth. Not a law enforcement officer dedicated to fighting crime. He has probably never met a real American. These people make me sick.
They shove crap answers to our Senators and invariably their response is “thank you”.
The FBI needs to be disbanded and each of its employees investigated. Those guilty need to be punished so these actions will never be repeated. Those outside of the FBI that supported and sanctioned these activities need to be treated as rabid dogs.
Per Wray: notes the FBI is not tracking “currently operating” terror cells or foreign terror cells in the United States.
That is a very damning statement. IMO, Wray is not upholding his Oath Of Office and needs to be impeached, and the rest of the FBLie needs to be defunded.
Would it happen to be from this book…
Are you saying that Tenet said, “Mr. President, this is a slam dunk,” and knew it wasn’t?
Now, we’re all relying on Bob Woodward who said it [in his book Plan of Attack], but if indeed he said it as a “slam dunk,” yes, I think he was in a position that he would have had to know that the data was not of a character that one could describe [that way], even in a loose manner, and certainly not in the Oval Office of the President, who has expressed doubt about the presentation he’s heard.
“Don’t worry, Mr. President, that’s a slam dunk.” The data was not that solid. George Tenet knew we had no agents inside Iraq. George Tenet knew that on the case of Curveball, no American had ever talked to Curveball directly, no American had been given his name by the Germans. And you go down the line, he knew the holes in the data. And yes, I think he certainly knew it wasn’t a slam dunk. …

Did anyone notice the difference in how the Director acted in yesterday’s hearing compared to how he acted in previous hearing?
Should probably just refer to them as the Gestapo or KGB at this point. They have the same objectives of oppression and are just as evil.
