And the media is counseling appeasement. “‘Terrorism has gone viral’: US officials, lawmakers warn of growing jihad-inspired attacks,” FoxNews.com, May 10, 2015:
Top U.S. officials and lawmakers on Sunday intensified concerns about the growing threat of jihad-inspired terror attacks against the United States, after last week’s attempt in Texas and the dire FBI warning that followed.
“I think there’s been an uptick in the stream of threats out there,” Texas GOP Rep. Mike McCaul, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, told “Fox News Sunday.” “We’re seeing these directives on almost a daily basis. It’s very concerning. Terrorism has gone viral.”
McCaul’s comments follow the May 3 attack by two gunmen outside a “Draw Muhammad” event in Garland, Texas.
Tweets by one of the two gunmen, killed by police in the attack, appear to link him to radical Islamic terror groups. And Internet chatter purportedly tipped off officials about a possible attack on the event.
On Thursday, FBI Director James Comey said the attack, in which a security officer was shot in the leg, highlights the difficulties the FBI faces — as social media facilitates communication between terror groups and potential homegrown extremists.
He also said the Islamic State terror group has thousands of English-language followers on Twitter, including many in the U.S.
The group also is increasingly steering followers into forums that allow for encrypted communications that can be harder for law enforcement officials to access.
In addition, the Islamic State has been encouraging followers to travel to Syria to join the self-created caliphate there, but if they can’t do that, to “kill where you are,” Comey said.
“The siren song sits in the pockets, on the mobile phones, of the people who are followers on Twitter,” Comey said. “It’s almost as if there’s a devil sitting on the shoulder, saying ‘Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill,’ all day long.”
McCaul said Comey was “exactly right” and that trying to find ISIS’ calling for terror attacks across the broad spectrum of social media is “like trying to find a needle in a haystack.”
He also said the terror threat now is “one of the highest that I’ve ever seen” and warned of similar incidents in the future.
“It’s going to get worse, not better,” he said. “This is very difficult to stop.”
Also on Sunday, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said the U.S. is facing a new phase of terrorism in which a so-called lone-wolf terrorist, inspired by Islamic State propaganda on social media, could “strike at any moment.”
The Obama administration has said the attack in suburban Dallas last week was a “lone wolf” effort….
More fantasy.

“It’s almost as if there’s a devil sitting on the shoulder, saying ‘Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill,’ all day long.”
sounds like the koran
Angemon says
Lone wolves. There were two of them. The question for the day is this: how many “lone wolves” does it take for the Obama administration to declare them a pack?
Jay Airahs says
In addition, these lone wolves get their training in the den called the local mosque.

I let me say it again i feel that the POTUS is either naive (which can hardly be believed),stupid, or protecting the beliefs of his secret religion. He is doing the best he can without being impeached to destroy the military,put blacks against whites by encouraging discontent. He is trying to destroy are health system and spending our tax money on his friends. His wife has stated many lies in her speeches and has shown great disdain to this country.
Wellington says
More fantasy indeed. I submit that the single greatest fantasy in our time is the contention that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance.
If Islam becomes properly and so deservedly characterized for the spiritual fascism which it is, then Western nations will know what to do. But if Islam still gets a pass, is still quite inaccurately and stupidly described as a religion of peace and tolerance, blah, blah, blah, then to this extent the West remains extremely vulnerable.
And “kudos” here to fools like Obama, Cameron and the present Pope for allowing the West to become as vulnerable as it has. I have more contempt for them than for Islam because exculpation of evil is actually worse than evil itself.
This very day is the 75th anniversary of Winston Chuchill becoming Prime Minister. The Great Man knew what needed to be done to defeat iniquity. Unfortunately, great people like Churchill are scarce, and those that do exist today like him, such as Geert Wilders, Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller, not only have little power but are excoriated even by people who should know better let alone the voluminous element that does not.
Dark times ahead. Much. Courtesy of fools and Islam. Fluid times no doubt.
Jay Airahs says
Jihadis want to rattle the cage of the West until the civic leaders and politicians call up the emergency apology speech writers on the official pander to Islam Hot Line.
spot on says
“Dark times ahead. Much. Courtesy of fools and Islam. Fluid times no doubt.”
Well said. Your thoughts confirm what I see ahead. The best place to be going forward is a place where people still share old fashioned values. Then prepare as best we can and hope for the best. Fluid times can flow many different ways.
Jay Airahs says
Muslims wish to distract from Islam’s stink.
Notice that Muslims did not gather for a massive rally before the Muhammad Draw contest.
Two reasons:
1 –Texans carry guns and are not afraid to shoot. — (unlike California and Massachusetts)
2 — They did not want their provocation “Stand with the Prophet” hateful disgrace to be exposed.
RonaldB says
Well! It was very strange there were no protests that day
There was absolutely No way to get a firearm inside. The security was thorough.
There were counter protesters at the “Stand with the Prophet” protest. There were protesters at the “Rally with the Christians” demonstration to draw attention to persecution of Christians (and the persecutions have intensified since then.)
So, at an exhibition intended to express exactly those sentiments the counter-protesters have always protested…they don’t show up at all. Not a peep.
I have no inferences to make…but, it was very strange to me at the time..and is still strange.
The Obama administration is still acting on plans to import thousands or tens of thousands of Muslims into the US. The situation is fast becomming intolerable just as it is. The really funny thing is, if the Muslims could just keep a lid on violence for ten or 20 years, they would have basically won their civilizational jihad. There would be Muslim pressure groups in every state, Muslims in every US security agency, and active Muslim actions to take over local government.
The nature of Islam is such that they can’t control the violence, even among themselves. As uncomfortable as that is, it actually gives the West a warming they will not be able to look away from. I don’t know if we will rise to the occasion.
Wellington says
Agreed, RonaldB. The “stealth” jihad favored by barbaric CAIR versus the “traditional” jihad favored by barbaric ISIS is actually the “smarter” jihad. So, I guess we have to give credit here to an organization like CAIR, though it is still done, of course, with reservations aplenty, total antipathy and complete contempt.
But I hope you’re right (and I think you are) that Islam simply can’t help revealing how much a lover of violence and intolerance it really is. That’s why I (and many others) have maintained that Islam “in full flower,” rather than in any kind of disguise or “reserve”, actually benefits its enemies more than itself. So here is to ISIS and an “up yours” to CAIR.
Hope you and yours are doing well in this very strange age we live in. (And I agree with you about the absence of your standard rent-a-mob at the cartoon event in Texas. I, like you, draw no inference, but it does strike me as rather anomalous.)
Darren says
The muslim brotherhood is another super dangerous organization. The fact they aren’t on a list and banned, is very troublesome. Just how deep does their penetration of our government go? Will at some point in time some of these infiltrators use their government positions to crack down on the anti jihad crowd, whether it be using the IRS as a weapon, or something worse, like giving sensitive intel to the wrong people about the right people. Just think of some of the possibilities.
Nutjob says
8 years of that lefty Obama, surely the U.S. Can’t vote in another like him. Hostile to counter terror efforts, hostile to Israel, complete denial of the terror threat. Obama, a closet Muslim, the next election can’t come soon enough, till then, he puts all People inside the U.S. at risk, along with all US citizens worldwide..
Lia Wissing says
and all the rest of us non-muslims outside the USA.
Grntonpnt says
How can any thinking human being who can read and understand the difference between right and wrong possibly think that islam is a religion of peace.?..Come on people start paying attention to the evil that is all arpound and in plain sight. If I can figure it out and understand its purpose for the world and the rest of us, then why can’t smarter people than me get it? islam has a very bad odor and it seams like most of the people have allergys and can;t smell islams rotting stink.
Ashley says
This is my worst nightmare coming true…
You can attend mosque on the fucking internet these days. Shit, you can convert to Islam online. How the hell can that crap be monitored?
Jihad and the internet….the perfect disaster.
Theodoric says
“Prophet” Muhammad’s Examplemonster, also known as “Islam,” wants to decapitate our freedom of speech.
Say “NO” To Muhammad’s Examplemonster, and say “NO” to Islam!

That sociopath Obama and his administration must go!

LOAN WOLF? OBAMA IS THE LONE WOLF HE LEADS THE PACK ALL BY HIMSELF.
spot on says
The normal mode of the government is to cover up any kind of threat while they stay busy with their little games that bring them gain, that is unless they need to spend money on a project that we don’t want. I believe the reason we are suddenly hearing about ISIS this time is because Pamela abruptly brought ISIS onto the stage, front and center in Texas. No way to ignore it. Now they are forced to tell us the truth about ISIS. The more we know, the stronger and better prepared we will be.

Sharia Law
Daniel 7:1-8 ( KJV )
Great Beasts
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.
Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
Daniel 7
The first was like a lion,(lion of Justice symbol of England) and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, (Uncle Sam and the eagle) and a man’s heart was given to it. (England and the USA)
Revelation 6
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. (Christian Nations)
Daniel 7
And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, (symbol of Russia red bear) and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. (Russia or communist)
Revelation 6
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword (Red Communist)
Daniel 7
After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. (China or Asian descent )
Revelation 6
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. (Trade)
Daniel 7
After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. (Middle East)
Revelation 6
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
(Muslims)
Dan 2
{And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, (5 on each foot not together as yet) part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
And as the toes of the feet (10 Nations no fully together yet) were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, (Muslims are all over the world) even as iron is not mixed with clay. (Now you know why the Muslims can’t get along with each other)
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, (Jesus) and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.}
Dan 7
I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
And the ten horns (10 toes(10 Nations no fully together yet) out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: (Sharia law) and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. (3-1/2 years)
Revelation 12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, (3-1/2 years) from the face of the serpent.
And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Dan 7
But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
