“Over last eight years, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland.” — Barack Obama, December 6, 2016
“Fort Lauderdale shooter says he carried out attack for ISIS, FBI claims,” by Boris Sanchez and Kevin Conlon, CNN, January 17, 2017:
Esteban Santiago, the man charged with killing five people at the Fort Lauderdale airport, told FBI agents he carried out the attack on behalf of ISIS, FBI special agent Michael Ferlazzo testified at Santiago’s bond hearing Tuesday.
The agent did not elaborate on whether Santiago was purporting to be linked to ISIS or simply inspired by the terrorist organization.
Federal authorities in Alaska said Santiago told them prior to the attack that he was hearing voices and that his mind was being controlled by the CIA. Santiago initially made similar claims during an interrogation following the shooting, but once he was transferred to the FBI office in Miramar, Florida, Santiago introduced the ISIS claim and never again mentioned mind control, Ferlazzo testified.
ISIS has not claimed responsibility for the January 6 attack at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
Ferlazzo, who conducted the interview in Miramar, said only that Santiago claimed to be fighting for ISIS and that he’d been in touch via jihadi chat rooms with like-minded people who were planning attacks as well.
Santiago is charged with using and carrying a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence; performing an act of violence against a person at an airport serving international civil aviation that caused serious bodily injury; and causing the death of a person through the use of a firearm….

And the LAME-STREAM media produce FAKE NEWS for many days now, pretending they DID NOT KNOW THIS GUY WAS A JIHADIST.
His facebook posts from YEARS ago established beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was a jihadist.
The LEFTARDED REGRESSIVES once more demonstrate their willingness to PRETEND that 15% of ALL Muslims around the world are not ENDORSERS OF VIOLENT WARFARE AGAINST KAFIRS. That’s one Muslim in about SIX! That translates into about 200,000,000 Muslims around the world who endorse VIOLENCE AGAINST NON-MUSLIMS and about (probably) 200,000 Muslims who AT THIS MOMENT are ready, willing and able to harm us if they are called and organized to do so.
We must assume that Esteban Santiago, a TRAINED SOLDIER, was acting as a SOLDIER OF ALLAH and RECEIVING ORDERS TO ATTACK from someone jihadist commanding officer!
EVERY MILITARY OFFICER IN THE WORLD WILL SUSPECT Esteban Santiago was FOLLOWING ORDERS. Who was his commander??

Mortimer, you god-damned GENIUS… I read your COMMENT.
Now go take your meds, please.
john spielman says
WHAT? Mortimer was correct! we are at war with islam
Undaunted says
Um… yeah. Thanks.
gravenimage says
Mortimer is largely correct–I just think his numbers for those Muslims willing to wage violent Jihad are rather low.
Terry says
Mortimer- please re-read your highlighted comment. 15% of ALL Muslims around the world are not ENDORSERS OF VIOLENT WARFARE AGAINST KAFIRS.
That would mean THAT 85% OF THE Muzzies ARE ENDORSERS OF VIOLENT WARFARE.
I would think that the lame stream media would have the numbers reversed–85% NOT ENDORSING, ETC.
(I believe, like most, that the number who do support- openly or covertly- warfare against non Muslims, probably about 90% or thereabouts-maybe higher).

Uh-huh. And no one here believed he was ‘crazy’ …
Angemon says
Seeing how ISIS exhorted muslims to do this kind of attacks, what difference does it make?
Huck Folder says
cair will give us the official version.
lebel says
Well it looks like I was wrong. I dont know why ISIS didnt take credit but now that he has admitted it it does not matter.
Terry says
I THINK-MY OPINION ONLY- ISIS did not take credit for the attack is the timing. Jan. 2017.
Jan 20, 2017 Donald Trump becomes Pres.
My opinion- they (ISIS) is evil; violent; killers, BUT NOT STUPID. They don’t want to piss off Trump -right away-or he might join with Putin to bomb the shit out of them – and have them (in Iraq and Syria, at least) non existent.
If this happened- say May or June, even Oct.- i think ISIS would have taken credit within hours, if not minutes, knowing Obama would not do anything.
Just my views

“Fort Lauderdale Airport shooter says he carried out the attack for the Islamic State”
He really did not mean that, What he really wanted to say is “Islam is a religion of peace”
You have to read the real meaning of words you know.

The couriers for our leader, when they join our military…..suit the bill. The muslim doctors trained and placed strategically…in our medical care, complete with ;names addresses and data bases, fit the bill.The national security agents at airports fit the bill. The taxi drivers to airports fit the bill. The grants from foreign governments for education and cities fit the bill. The school bus, and transport drivers fit the bill. The diversity mayors fit the bill. The media …that is beholden fit the bill…and the sharia silencing almost sealed the deal….almost. So Obama better act fast, this guy might spill the beans and be late on the pardon….oh that’s right it is gun control not terrorism and as you say “Islam is peaceful, and you are right, when you said Mir. Obama ,”Over the last eight years no foreign terrorist organization has sucessfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland.” They didn’t need too, we have diversity and you have the message that fit the bill.

…………………………
Well, this should surprise no one.
Keith Jordan says
Does it surprise the media, or do they only pretend they don’t know or suspect it’s Islam?
Silas Praygood says
Thanks for the update and again exposing the truths of islam.
Jim says
If Santiago told Federal authorities that he was hearing voices and that his mind was being controlled by the CIA, why did he still have a concealed carry permit? What is the purpose of the no-fly list, if not to keep dangerous people from flying?
We have excellent gun control laws already, but with authorities asleep at the switch and failing to enforce the tools already available to keep us safe, stricter laws won’t help.
Dustin says
Obviously no psycho. He planned it and Obama deliberately dropped the ball. Another leftist fanatic that infiltrated our military.
