Fort Bliss amps up security over Islamic State threat at US/Mexico border

Aug 31, 2014 6:12 pm By Robert Spencer

fortbliss3Five and a half years of Obama, and the jihadis are at the border. Remember when he first took office, and the mainstream media was actually running reports confidently predicting that because of Obama, jihad terror would soon end? “Fort Bliss amps up security over holiday weekend,” Associated Press, August 31, 2014 (thanks to Kenneth):

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — Fort Bliss says it’s taking extra security precautions over Labor Day weekend.

Spokesman Ltc. Lee Peters says the U.S. Army post has closed some entry gates to non-Defense Department personnel, and increased random vehicle searches through Tuesday.

He said Sunday that the added security comes amid recent Defense Department guidance and internal security assessments.

Peters also cited media reports that have to be “assessed” about a possible attack on America’s southern border by militants from the Islamic State extremist group that’s attacking cities in Iraq.

The Army post also has warned the approximately 30,000 soldiers and 10,000 civilians who work there to expect “future change access controls” beyond Tuesday.

Peters says new protocol is also being developed due to recent shootings at Fort Hood, Fort Lee and the Navy Yard.

    Terrorists have been been whacking off heads and taking over drug cartels in Mexico for at least 10 years. The drug cartels have been fighting and killing each other for years but only in about the past 10 years have decapitated bodies been found in the desert.

    Imam obama and brother Ellison have been campaigning to throw the Texas US border wide open. When they do these animals will pour across the border.

      Yes you are right, they started to cut the heads of their rivals, AND ALSO started to cut them to pieces, started to skin them, hanging them from the bridges, shooting them in the head, all this after interrogating them…..The cartels are no stupid, as much as I hate them, I know the last thing they’ll do is work with terrorist, WHY??? Well first the cartel members praise the “Santa muerte” (saint death) and Malverde, and they are not going to put up with all that Allah akbar!! Crap, second and most important, the cartels know better not to f#%k with the USA and if they were to work with terrorist ( wich is highly unlikely) the US would put pressure on Mexico to get rid of this problem, and Mexici would hunt them and kill them like rabbid dogs, and thats something cartels don’t want……
      MEXICO IS WORKING IN “AUTOPILOT MODE ” WITH THE DRUG CARTEL’S PROBLEM, BUT IF MEXICO IS UNDER PRESSURE MEXICO WILL GET RID OF THE PROBLEM… How do I know this???? Well last year a surgeon and volunteer of the red cros for 10 years in the US named Jose Mireles ( who I support) started to fight back against the cartel he created a vigilante group in Michiacan and in less than a year he was able to push back the cartels from many municipalities, he became VERY, VERY, popular in Mexico and soon vigilante groups began ro appear all over Mexico…. The Mexican goverment knew that if they didn’t do something a REVOLUTION WAS IMMINEN, and what did they do to CALM THE WATER????? THEY CAPTURE CHAPO GUZMAN, ( LEADER OF SINALOA CARTEL) WHO HAD “ELUDED” THE LAW FOR 10 YEARS, THEY CAPTURED MIGUEL ANGUEL TREVINO, LEADER OF THE BLOODY ZETAS WHO HAD “ELUDED”THE LAW FOR MORE THAN 6 YEARS, AND THEY ALSO CAPTURED THE LEADER OF THE GULF CARTEL WHO ALSO “ELUDED” THE LAW FOR SO LONG, THEY WERE THE LEADERS OF MEXICO’S 3 MOST POWERFUL CARTELS, AND THEY WERE CAPTURE IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS ALONG WITH MANNY OTHER CARTEL LEADERS…….
      Thats why the cartels WILL NEVER, AND I MEAN NEVER!! Work with terrorists, INSTEAD OF WORKING WITH TERRORIST THEY WOULD CAPTURE THEM, INTERROGATE THEM, AND KILL THEM IN A VIDEO, WHY?????? BECAUSE MOST AMERICANS WILL HAVE A “POSITIVE” VIEW ON THEM, AND THAT’S SOMETHING CARTELS WANT, INSTEAD OF AMERICANS WORKING WITH THE MEXICANS TO EXYERMINATE THEM.

    I knew they were down there when I first read about decapitated bodies being found in the desert 10 years ago. The official story was it was drug cartels which no doubt is true but drug cartels have been offing each other for many years but only started head whacking 10-15 years ago. They are supporting jihad with the drug trade and will be pouring across our borders as soon as Keith Ellis and imam Obama can abolish our borders as is Keiths stated goal

      We should declare the Mexican drug cartels to be terrorist groups and declare war on them. These cartels will smuggle anyone across our borders, including Muslim terrorists. We need a President who will secure our borders and deport illegal aliens, especially illegals from Muslim countries.

      Also, ISIS is very active on the Internet recruiting Americans and Europeans to join the jihad against the West.

        ‘We should declare the mexican cartels to be terrorist group and declare war on them”
        THIS IS THE REASON WHY CARTELS WILL NEVER WORK WITH TERRORISTS, THE CARTELA KNOW THEY CAN DEAL WITH THE MEXICAN GOVERMENT, BUT THEY KNOW BETTER NOT TO MESS WITH THE USA, AND WORKING WITH TERRORISTS IT’S NO AN OPTION, AND ALSO THE FACT THAT CARTEL MEMBERS PRAISE SANTA MUERTE AND MALVERDE NOT ALLAH….
        BESIDES ISIS DOESN’T NEED TO SMUGGLE THROUGH THE BORDER…. I MEAN COME ON THEY ARE ALREADY IN THE US, THEY HAVE US PASSPORT, HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THE ISIS FLAG IN FRONT OF THE WHITE HOUSE???, AND THAT PAPER ON CHICAGO SAYING THEY WERE IN OUR CITIES, PEOPLE THAT PLEDGE ALLIANCE TO ISIS DON’T NEED AVISA BECAUSE THEY HAVE EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP.

    Mr. Spencer do you believe in “The Parking Lot Solution” aka “E=MC2” , a nuclear “option”, for ISIS?

      One certainly does wonder what ISIS is planning for that infamous date. 13 years later. Considering all the very carefully chosen propoganda they use for resonance: the orange Guantanamo jumpsuits, the waterboarding, et al, et al — they must be chomping at the bit to do something.

      And let’s not forget Al Queda who’s been making some raving press releases lately — clearly suffering from ISIS Envy.

    The FBTX boys can take care of themselves. We should be more worried about this…

      Heh. I was there undercover for a week in the 80’s and it was a hell-hole. But on the way out the pilot was nice enough to tell us that there in the arroyo below was the probable burial of the Apache chief, Cochise. I’d studied the Apache warriors for years so it was a great moment.

    Remember when he first took office, and the mainstream media was actually running reports confidently predicting that because of Obama, jihad terror would soon end?
    ……………………….

    I do indeed—because so many idiots had the idea that Jihadists only hated us because of bad ol’ George Bush. What madness.

    Whatever his mistakes, shortcomings, and blindspots—and they were many—Jihadists at least had a basic respect that he would fight back.

    But with the possible exception of an expanded use of drones, Obama has appeased and even sympathized with Jihadists.

    Now, we might have ended up in this position in any case, given what is happening both in Europe and in Dar-al-islam itself—but active enabling from our own president has virtually ensured it.
