Beyond FBI Failure On 9/11 How the Bureau’s “Terrorist Screening Center” fails to screen terrorists - AS JOE BIDEN FLOODS AMERICA WITH MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS FROM GOD ONLY KNOWS FROM WHERE

Both political sides know the DoJ is corrupt. However, while one side timidly admits it, the other vehemently denies it. The Dems are lying because they like the DoJ playing on their team, but they’re losing the narrative battle (53 percent of the public thinks the FBI is Joe Biden’s Gestapo). The Republicans are sick of their base being demonized, but lack the political power to do anything about it. Donald Trump challenged the DoJ and FBI. Look how that turned out for him. JOHN GREEN

A double rainbow appeared over New York City on September 11, the 22-year anniversary of the Islamic terrorist attack on the United States.

“A real thing I just saw with my eyes,” New York City resident Meg wrote in a TikTok caption, sharing a video of the double rainbow spanning over downtown Manhattan, with one of them seeming to originate near where the World Trade Center once stood.

The video quickly went viral, receiving more than 6.4 million views within the first 16 hours of it being posted.

In the caption, Meg informed her audience that the video was “shot on my iPhone. New York City. September 11, 2023.”

“The most insane thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” Meg added in the video.

Others on social media took to the comment section to share their reactions to seeing the double rainbow over New York City.

“From all those angels, letting us know they are at peace,” one TikTok user commented.

“I am so blown away,” another reacted. “They wanted everyone to know they’re still there.”

“They’re watching over us,” a third echoed.

“TWO rainbows on the 22nd anniversary,” another TikTok user said.

“Feels like a message to everyone that’s still here,” another chimed in. “The world can be beautiful, even in times of mourning and grief.”

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a double rainbow that beautiful,” another reacted.

“Thank you for sharing this,” another wrote. “It was my brothers first heavenly birthday on 9/11 so seeing this brought me some peace.”

On September 11, 2001, the entire world experienced the attacks in real time. Videos, photos, and audio captured the horror inflicted by Islamic terrorists and the heroism displayed by ordinary Americans forced onto the frontlines of a sudden new war.

Biden’s DHS Leaves Miles of Border Wide Open as Migrant Crossings Spike

With more than 22,000 migrants being held in custody, a source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection says the Border Patrol is being forced to cut routine patrols along the border. In some areas, highway inspection checkpoints have been closed to accommodate another increase in the number of migrant crossings. On Monday alone, the agency apprehended more than 7,700 migrants nationwide.

The source says Border Patrol agents are increasingly assigned strictly to duties related to accommodating large groups of migrants who are surrendering in hopes of being released into the United States. The agents are relegated to processing, transporting, and releasing the migrants to non-government shelters in many cases.

In the Texas border sector of Del Rio, agents left swaths of the border, nearly 40 miles wide, without patrols, the source stated. Most stations in the area are delegating a significant portion of their staffing to migrant processing. At one soft-sided facility near Eagle Pass, Texas, nearly 3,000 migrants are routinely detained in a space designed to accommodate 1,000.

In the Tucson Border Patrol Sector, agents assigned to patrol remote desert and mountain areas have been reassigned to a nearby processing center. In Douglas, Arizona, specialty enforcement units, such as the agency’s horse patrol and all-terrain-vehicle unit, have been left with only a skeleton crew to patrol close to the city, according to the source.

As reported by Breitbart Texas, migrants from multiple countries have entered the United States near Lukeville, Arizona, in recent weeks in single groups of 300 to 500 in size. Breitbart Texas observed several strategically placed all-weather Border Patrol checkpoints on major highways leaving the border near Lukeville during the Labor Day week that were shuttered due to staffing reallocations.

In Las Cruces, New Mexico, Breitbart noted the closure of one large immigration checkpoint on Interstate 10 outside the city during the Labor Day weekend. According to the source, the checkpoints are a critical piece of the agency’s multi-layered defense strategy. Although the checkpoints are intended to check the immigration status of travelers, often, other crimes are discovered during the inspection process.

In June, Border Patrol agents seized 192 pounds of fentanyl valued at more than $2 million. The amount of fentanyl seized was enough to kill 48 million people, according to the agency. The source says having checkpoints closed only helps the cartels reach the interior of the United States, whether they carry people or narcotics.

“This is it,” the source stated. “If smugglers go through closed checkpoints, it’s up to state and local law enforcement to pick up the slack, but it’s much harder. Legally, we can perform a brief immigration inspection of all travelers.”  Other law enforcement agencies must have probable cause before making a traffic stop or conducting a vehicle search.

Accommodating the large migrant groups routinely surrendering near many border cities is daunting. Border Patrol agents have been relegated to replenishing water supplies to offer the surrendering migrants during the latest heatwave. Breitbart Texas observed agents assisting the migrants to collect left-behind garbage in a futile attempt to keep up with the tons of garbage left behind once the migrants crossed the border.

The source says other DHS volunteers and detailed officers are also pitching in. In Lukeville, the source says Homeland Security Investigations special agents have been relegated to driving transport vans to take migrants to a local processing center.

“These special agents are trained to investigate complex criminal cases involving human smuggling, child pornography, and the illegal importation of narcotics,” the source stated.

“We’ve got them driving vans. The whole situation here is beyond belief,” the source emphasized.

According to the Tucson Border Patrol Sector Chief Patrol Agent John R. Modlin, nearly 11,000 migrants were apprehended during the Labor Day Week in his sector alone.

According to CBP, between October and July, more than 1.6 million migrants have crossed into the United States at the southern border. According to unofficial reports reviewed by Breitbart Texas, just under 180,000 migrants were apprehended in August, bringing the total migrant encounters across the southwest border to more than 1.8 million.

As reported by Breitbart Texas, nearly 600,000 migrants have managed to avoid capture by the Border Patrol since October and are listed as “Got-Aways.”

Beyond FBI Failure On 9/11

How the Bureau’s “Terrorist Screening Center” fails to screen terrorists.

Presidents regularly mount the podium but FBI directors have kept rather quiet on September 11. Last year, Christopher Wray delivered remarks that prove enlightening.

“It’s fitting that we mark this anniversary here, at the Terrorist Screening Center (TSC),” Wray said, “because the TSC is a prime example of the strides we made following the attacks—developing new capabilities and working in concert with our partners to keep people safe. It demonstrates the ingenuity, the dedication, and the spirit of collaboration we’ve brought—as a collective law enforcement and intelligence community—to the fight against terrorism.”

The Terrorist Screening Center, in Vienna Virginia, was established in 2003 to “consolidate the government’s approach to terrorism,” The TSC is administered by the FBI, with support from the Intelligence Community, Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, Department of Treasury, and Department of Defense.

The impact of 9/11, Wray explained, “profoundly shaped the way we do our jobs, the way we collaborate and communicate with partners, and the way we tackle challenges. Really, it all comes down to one thing—keeping people we will never know, and families we will never meet, safe from harm.” Wray did not put a number to “the people who died that day,” and the only casualties he named were two FBI agents.

“Because of that terrible day, we’ve transformed the bureau in ways that have made us stronger and better, and our country safer. Those transformations have proven critical over the past 21 years—and will remain critical in the face of a continuously evolving terrorist threat. As we carry on this mission to protect Americans from terrorism, we bring to our work the same sense of purpose and resolve that we felt on 9/11 and in the days that followed.”

And so on, with a few significant omissions. The FBI failed to prevent the attack of September 11, 2001, and also slipped up on the prequel.

In 1993, the FBI failed to prevent Islamic terrorists from bombing the World Trade Center, which claimed six victims. The lessons went unlearned. For all its money, power and resources, the FBI failed to prevent terrorists from hijacking airliners and crashing them into the Pentagon and World Trade Center.

“Domestic agencies” such as the FBI “never mobilized in response to the threat,” The 9/11 Commission Report concluded. “They didn’t have a plan,” and “the public was not warned.” The FBI Inspector General contributed to the report, so FBI incompetence was doubtless worse than indicated. No word about any FBI bosses being disciplined, demoted or discharged over the failure, which continued.

The FBI’s Terrorism Screening Center established “one federal terrorism watchlist” with “information on people reasonably suspected to be involved in terrorism (or related activities).”  One of them was U.S. Army Maj. Nidal Hasan.

The FBI knew Hasan was communicating with al Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki about killing Americans. Even so, the FBI’s Washington office judged that Hasan was not involved in terrorist activities and dropped surveillance on the officer. On November 5, 2009 at Fort Hood, Texas, Hasan shot dead 13 Americans and wounded more than 30 others.

For the composite character president David Garrow described in Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama, it was “workplace violence,” not terrorism or even gun violence. In his fundamental transformation of the United States, the composite character ignored Islamic terrorism and targeted his domestic opposition.

In 2012, the Department of Homeland Security, a partner with the Terrorist Screening Center,  released Hot Spots of Terrorism and Other Crimes in the United States, 1979-2008. This study classified persons judged to be “suspicious of centralized federal authority” and “reverent of individual liberty” as “extreme right-wing terrorists.”

In 2013, Challengers from the Sidelines: Understanding America’s Violent Far-Right, from the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, warned about the “anti-federalist movement.” Members of this movement “espouse strong convictions regarding the federal government, believing it to be corrupt and tyrannical, with a natural tendency to intrude on individuals’ civil and constitutional rights.” That same year marked another FBI failure.

Russian intelligence warned the FBI about Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who managed to escape the efforts of the Terrorist Screening Center. On April 15, 2013, the Tsarnaevs bombed the Boston Marathon, killing three and wounding more than 260.  Local police, not the FBI, killed Tamerlan and captured Dzhokhar.

The Terrorist Screening Center also failed to flag Islamic terrorists Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik. On December 2, 2015, the jihadists gunned down 14 people in San Bernardino California, wounding many others. San Bernardino police, not the FBI, took down the terrorists with no loss of innocent life.

If the Terrorist Screening Center picked up Islamic State supporter Omar Mateen, the FBI did nothing about the deadly threat he posed. On June 12, 2016, Mateen shot dead 49 people and wounded more than 50 at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. As CNN noted, it was “the nation’s worst terror attack since 9/11.” As in Boston and San Bernardino, local police, not the FBI, took down the mass murderer.

For Christopher Wray, the Terrorist Screening Center is “a prime example of the strides we made following the attacks, developing new capabilities and working in concert with our partners to keep people safe. It demonstrates the ingenuity, the dedication, and the spirit of collaboration we’ve brought—as a collective law enforcement and intelligence community—to the fight against terrorism.” Evidence of those strides at Fort Hood, Boston, San Bernardino and Orlando is hard to find.

The Terrorist Screening Center is like a screen door on a submarine. The FBI does not protect the people and does not keep the nation safe from terrorism. The struggle against FBI failure is the struggle of memory against forgetting.
