Two recent interviews — one with former Navy SEAL and Blackwater founder Erik Prince and one with Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., — pointed to the gathering threat of terror violence inside the country this year.
Aside from these two and a few more, though, there seems to be scant attention being paid to the likelihood that a confluence of threat indicators will erupt into street violence on a scale we’ve not seen since the summer of 2020.
This year, the Islamic month of Ramadan begins on March 10.
It runs until sundown on April 10.
Against the backdrop of Israel’s ongoing Swords of Iron military operation against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, a month that even in less tumultuous years often sees an accelerated pace of jihad attacks globally, this year’s Ramadan likely will be the occasion for even more renewed calls for attacks against Jews in Gaza, Judea, Samaria, the rest of Israel, and the United States (U.S.) homeland as well. Indeed, U.S. imams already have begun calling for the killing of Jews on a genocidal scale.
Intelligence officials warned in January 2024 that Hezbollah may be plotting terror attacks inside the homeland this year.
Also in January, a group of former senior FBI officials sent a letter to congressional leaders warning of a “new and imminent danger.”
That danger, they wrote, arises from the ongoing mass invasion of military-age men from all over the world, among whom surely are not only Chinese Jungle Tigers but also Islamic terrorists seeking vengeance against Jews and for U.S. support of Israel.
Epoch Times show host and reporter Roman Balmakov interviewed Erik Prince at the March 2024 CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference. During the interview, entitled “Terrorist Sleeper Cells Are Already in the U.S.,” Prince told Balmakov that one reason he believes the Biden administration is so reluctant to strike back in any meaningful way against Iranian terror proxies — much less any Iranian target itself — is that the Iranian regime has already surged unknown numbers of military fighters across our wide-open southern border.
Prince suggested that such fighters — whether Iran’s own IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps), Quds Force, or proxy jihadis from HAMAS, Hizballah, or Houthis — could be flown on Iran’s Mahan Air from Iran to Venezuela.
Then from there, they could head north through the Darien Gap that lies between Colombia and Panama, and then on up to and across the U.S. southern border.
Combined with other hostile military forces already certainly here, to include Chinese Jungle Tigers and Hezbollah cadres, these forces are likely forming cells, conducting pre-attack casing, surveillance, and training, and getting ready to launch combined attacks inside the homeland later in 2024, or should the U.S. do anything to upset Iran’s mullahs.
On March 3, 2024 Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., joined FOX News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” program with Maria Bartiromo.
Sen. Marshall warned about Chinese triads operating across America.
Triads are transnational organized crime syndicates based in Communist China, but operating globally, including the U.S.
It must be understood that these triads operate with the full knowledge and at least tacit acquiescence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Sen. Marshall noted that in Kansas and the U.S. more broadly, there has been “an explosion of human trafficking.”
Specifically, he was talking about a proliferation of massage parlors in Kansas as well as other states.
Those massage parlors, plus other Chinese fronts like hair or nail salons, are evidence not only of human smuggling and the enslaved Chinese women who work there, but also of a sophisticated money laundering operation.
Sen. Marshall spoke also about the flood of fentanyl trafficking across that southern border, a drug trade that he pointed out dates back to the era of Mao Zedong, when methamphetamine precursors were first sent into the U.S. in collaboration with the Mexican cartels.
Now, in addition to that early Chemical Warfare (CW), the CCP in collusion with the Mexican cartels, are smuggling fentanyl chemical precursors into Mexico, with American users the ultimate intended target.
With over 100,000 drug deaths in the U.S. every year, and most of those due to fentanyl (sometimes laced into other counterfeit drugs often bought online), there is no question that the CCP is waging Chemical Warfare against the U.S.
Sen. Marshall called out the Biden administration for permitting the drug and human trafficking across the U.S. southern border with Mexico, despite the clear national security implications that put our entire nation in danger.
On a final note, the Washington Examiner and other news outlets reported in early March 2024 that the Biden administration has flown some 320,000 illegal aliens directly from unknown Latin American countries into the U.S. to unsuspecting American communities that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) refuses to identify.
The secret airlift was kept secret from the American public to minimize the numbers of illegals being processed through U.S. southern ports of entry via the CBP One cell phone app.
America’s friends, allies, and enemies alike all see this happening. They all know that those with malign intent have a free pass into the U.S. under the Biden administration.
As the FBI officials wrote in their letter to Congress, “the warning lights are blinking.”
