It’s the four year anniversary of the deadly islamic attack on our our free speech event in Garland, Texas. It’s the fourth anniversary of the jihadi attack on our free speech event in Garland, Texas. I know of no commemorations or remembrance of the brave Americans who staved off the attack in Garland. Unlike “Boston Strong” (they have been anything but), Garland was truly “Garland Strong.” Taking out those jihadis was a real American response, and we had the best of all possible outcomes. San Bernardino and Chattanooga and Orlando and the other jihad attacks since then were Garland without guns.
It was the first ISIS-claimed attack on U.S. soil. A “60 Minutes” special on CBS revealed that an undercover FBI agent accompanied the terrorists in a separate car as they approached the Center. Many questions remain unanswered regarding his role in the attack and the FBI’s responsibility to forewarn in such cases. (Editor’s note: ISIS is also known as Islamic State, ISIL, and Daesh.)
The undercover agent, who remains unidentified, had been communicating with Simpson and Soofi through encrypted messages for some time. According to “60 Minutes,” a few weeks before the attack he urged them to “Tear up Texas.” Simpson responded, “bro, you don’t have to say that … you know what happened in Paris … so that goes without saying. No need to be direct.”
Story continues below advertisementThe agent followed closely behind the two terrorists in a separate car as they drove toward the art exhibit. He photographed two security guards, Bruce Joiner and Greg Stevens, standing outside the Culwell Center seconds prior to the attack. The two terrorists stopped in the street in front of the event, jumped from their car and began shooting at Joiner and Stevens. Joiner was immediately hit in the leg with a non-life-threatening wound. Stevens, a 60-year-old, 38-year veteran of the police force, returned fire and seriously wounded both Simpson and Soofi. Then four members of a SWAT team engaged and killed them. The entire incident went down “in seconds,” according to Garland Police Chief Mitch Bates.
The main thing is that there is no explanation that fits the facts other than this: the FBI knew the jihadis were going to strike our event, and did nothing to stop them. In fact, its agent encouraged them. My conclusion that they wanted us dead is simply the only possible explanation of their behavior.
Pamela Geller–Undercover FBI Agent Told Garland Jihadist: ‘Tear Up Texas’
Security Guard Injured in 2015 Terrorist Attack Appeals Suit Against FBI
Undercover FBI agent texted one attacker telling him ‘Tear up Texas’
By Washington Free Beacon, May 5, 2019:
The two attackers, Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi, drove from Phoenix to Garland, where the “Draw the Prophet Muhammad” event was being held, and opened fire at a security checkpoint.
Security was heightened due to the nature of the event and Simpson and Soofi were shot dead just yards from where they began their attack, but not before shooting Joiner.
Because of other court cases, it became public knowledge that an undercover FBI agent had infiltrated the small cell of radicals in Phoenix, and when the “Draw Muhammad” event was announced, the agent texted Simpson “Tear up Texas.” The Department of Justice characterized the text as “innocuous.”
Additionally, it later became known that the same undercover agent was in a separate car directly behind the attackers when they opened fire, had been taking pictures of them seconds before the gunfire and then tried to flee the scene once the shooting began.
“It seems like it had to have been one or the other,” Joiner’s attorney, Trenton Roberts told the Washington Examiner in 2017. “Just a complete botched operation where they [the FBI] don’t want the attack to actually take place, or, it’s something where they need the attack to take place in order for this guy [the agent] to advance in the world of ISIS.”
“And that’s really what I think. I think that they thought, ‘he’s undercover and in order to advance, he needed to get pictures or video of this attack,’ and then that would bolster his street cred within ISIS,” Roberts said.
In the prosecution of the ringleader who orchestrated the attack from Ohio, the undercover agent testified in disguise in a cleared courtroom and told the jury that he was surprised when the attack began.
The incident has not escaped the notice of lawmakers.
In 2017, Sen. Chuck Grassley, who at the time was chairman of the Judiciary Committee, pressed FBI Director James Comey for answers about the event, writing that the numerous revelations about the case “[appear] to contradict your statement in 2015 that the FBI did not know that Simpson was travelling [sic] to Garland and did not have any indication that Simpson planned to attack the event.”

All the security WANTED to be there! That always makes for a great event! Was a great time. Pam puts on the best events. It’s the ultimate adrenaline rush, you never know when some jihadi is going to come and try to blow up or spray with an AK47. Gotta take that divine protection out an see if it’s still working.

This certainly doesn’t help the FBI’s perception problem. It appears that with Comey in command, the agency was totally out of control, working for leftist political goals instead of protecting the American people.

There is a clear division of duties between the CIA and FBI.
The CIA prepares False Flag attacks outside the USA.

It was, and remains, clear to me that this operation was not hatched within the F.B.I alone. The White House must have been involved because, since then, nothing has come of it.
An independent investigation is long overdue. Once undertaken, my hypothesis will (without any question in my mind whatsoever) prove to be true. And all parties involved need to be held accountable.

See my link above. And there’s more of islam and Trump news, you remember when he hosted a ramadan dinner in the White House last year? And made a speech to the MANY muzlims in this country, of which is STILL on the White House dot GOV website? I have the links, in case you need to see this. Trump is playing with both sides of the same coin.

Our FBI is hopelessly CORRUPT! A big round of applause goes to dirty Robert Mueller.
Our Muslims terrorist training material OFFENDED Muslims terrorists so it had to be “purged”.’
Mueller stayed on for Obama’s term after GWB appointed him in September 4, 2001 just before 9/ll.
Inside Mueller’s PC purge of counter-terror training at the FBI
Jordan Schachtel · November 27, 2017
…
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s career is rife with examples of prioritizing politically correct sensitivities over the unfiltered, and sometimes difficult, truth of the matter. And this issue came to the forefront at the beginning of President Obama’s second term in office, when Mueller decided to purge hundreds of counter-terrorism training materials that arguably rendered America less safe in the face of a growing domestic Islamic extremist problem.
While serving as FBI director, Mueller (the current head of the special counsel investigation of the 2016 election) presided over an effort to silence counter-terrorism experts from discussing the threat posed by radical Islamic ideologies. His decision to choose this approach could call into question his judgement while presiding over an incredibly politically toxic debate surrounding the 2016 election.
Instead of providing the tools his agents needed to fight the ideological war against the continuing rise of radical Islam in America, Mueller handicapped his agents because he seemingly prioritized making sure that nobody was offended over keeping America safe.
Radical groups exposed Mueller’s weakness as an opportunity to deliver a critical blow to the United States’ counterterrorism apparatus following a series of leaks sent to far-left journalist Spencer Ackerman, who claimed that the FBI was teaching about radical Islamic terrorism in an “anti-Islam” manner.
In his “exposé” for Wired magazine, Ackerman argued that counter-terror trainers were promoting “Islamophobia.” One of Ackerman’s key sources for his reporting was Mohamed Elibiary, an Obama administration political appointee who is “known for his almost daily advocacy for the Muslim Brotherhood,” according to the Clarion Project.
Following Ackerman’s report, a coalition of Islamist groups wrote a letter to then-Director Mueller, demanding that he purge training materials that they deemed offensive to Muslims.
“The undersigned civil and human rights groups write to express our deep concern regarding recently-publicized FBI training materials that manifest anti-Muslim bias and factual inaccuracies,” read the letter co-signed by some groups that are tied to the global Muslim Brotherhood.
But “no fewer than six known Muslim Brotherhood-associated organizations” leveraged the far-Left campaign to empower their position with Mueller, according to terrorism expert Stephen Coughlin’s “Catastrophic Failure: Blindfolding America in the Face of Jihad.”
At an October 2011 congressional hearing, Mueller appeared to push for a training regimen that would conform to politically correct norms.
Instead of defending his organization’s work, Mueller decided to meet privately with members of the radical groups that expressed offense. Some of these groups were identified as unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation trial, which was the biggest terror-financing case in American history.
Mueller attempted to keep the meeting secret, and details of his embrace of radical Islamic groups were only made possible after Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit for the records. In a sign of troubling times ahead, leaders of the fringe groups expressed gratitude to Director Mueller for taking their concerns seriously.

Amazing posts, felix !! As always, you are a wealth of information. One thing I’ve heard here in Boston regarding Mueller. Four men had been set up to take the fall for a “mob hit” by the infamous Whitey Bulger…all four were railroaded into prison. Mueller wasn’t here for that, but when he came into Boston, even with the evidence that these men were innocent, “Mr. Integrity” Mueller left them in prison to rot.
After lawsuits were filed, the survivors were freed from prison, and lawsuits were filed for false imprisonment resulting in million$ paid out. Wish I had the links, but the info is out there….

Say something DO NOTHING FBI!

…
WASHINGTON DC FBI – On January 5, 2018, a person close to Nikolas Cruz contacted the FBI’s Public Access Line (PAL) tipline to report concerns about him. The caller provided information about Cruz’s gun ownership, desire to kill people, erratic behavior, and disturbing social media posts, as well as the potential of him conducting a school shooting.
Under ESTABLISHED PROTOCOLS, the information provided by the caller SHOULD HAVE BEEN assessed as a potential threat to life. The information then SHOULD HAVE BEEN forwarded to the FBI Miami Field Office, where appropriate investigative steps would have been taken.
We have determined these PROTOCOLS WERE NOT FOLLOWED for the information received by the PAL on January 5. The information was NOT provided to the Miami Field Office, and NO FURTHER INVESTIGATION WAS CONDUCTED AT THAT TIME.
…
The backdrop of this admission is especially troublesome as the FBI previously also admitted they were forewarned about the Tsarnaev brothers in the Boston Marathon Bombing 2013 and did nothing; and perhaps even more disturbing was the prior warning about the 2016 Orlando Pulse Nightclub shooter Omar Mateen.

17 people dead.
Maybe the FBI wants to be consistent with their FAILED track record.
Boston Marathon Bomber – clean bill of health from Comey who then headed the FBI!
San Bernardino Muslim massacre
Garland Texas MUSLIM terrorist
Las Vegas etc… TWO successful attacks there – “Paris Paradise” and Stephen Paddock. Both investigations winded down not knowing what the motive could have been. How many people make 21 trips to the middle east as Stephen Paddock did in two years? Who would change their name to “Paris Paradise” just before the massacre at Bataclan Theatre under Obama in 2015?

You didn’t hear the whole story about what happened at Bataclan Theatre in France by MUSLIM TERRORISTS.
Horrifying details of the Bataclan Theatre massacre revealed
By Isabel Vincent and Laura Italiano July 15, 2016
The Islamic State terrorists who attacked the Bataclan theater in Paris last November not only killed scores of innocents — they also gouged out the eyes and sliced up the genitals of some of the victims, according to testimony in a disturbing French report.
Some victims’ bodies from the second floor of the theater had been beheaded, eviscerated and otherwise mutilated, according to two secondhand accounts reported to a parliamentary commission set up to investigate the attack.
The investigation’s chair, conservative lawmaker Georges Fenech, complained to the commission that details of the mutilations have been kept from families and the press, according to an online transcript.
He also said he had heard of one especially grievous account: The father of one victim had told him that his son had been disemboweled and castrated, with his testicles found in his mouth.
“They had cut off his testicles,” Fenech said during testimony.
…
“Some of the bodies found at the Bataclan were extremely mutilated by the explosions and weapons, to the point that it was sometimes difficult to reconstruct the dismembered bodies,” said investigator Christian Saint.
…
“The bodies have not been shown to the families because they are people who are decapitated, people who are bloated and people who have been disemboweled,” one police witness told officials, according to the transcript..
…
“There are people decapitated, swollen and disemboweled. There are signs of sexual acts committed against women and knife cuts to genitals. If I am not mistaken, some of the eyes of certain people have been removed,” the witness said.
The witness was later asked by Fenech how he had come to learn of the acts of barbarism. He answered that he himself had only witnessed bodies struck by bullets, on the ground floor.

Before nine eleven, The F B I was also contacted by a flight instructor in Florida who reported that two middle eastern guys wanted to learn how to fly, but not to land. Ignored. Also, Vegas. I feel certain they were involved in that too. That Vegas story does not add up. No conclusion, my foot.

Mueller served under GWB and Obama as head of the FBI from September 4, 2001 – September 4, 2013. Mueller is the one that had ALL Muslim terrorist training material purged because it offended the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR. Mueller was the one that let the Saudis quickly leave without questioning by the FBI under GWB immediately after 9/11 occurred. Is is any wonder that the FBI ignored concerns about Muslims learning to fly and not concerned about “landing the plane.” That was in another article I read about them. Their interest was flying the plane and no concern about landing the plane as normal people would be concerned.
There is no doubt that the Vegas FBI and Sheriff did cover things up. You could see it in press releases. It was all turned over to the FBI. When local law enforcement was questioned you could see the awkwardness in how they avoided or answered questions in regard to Stephen Paddock and “Paris Paradise”. There are pockets of FBI corruption all over. The conclusion would support Islamophobia.

Come on Trump, PULL THE TRIGGER ON CAIR TOO!
The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was furious. CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper claimed that “law enforcement authorities have repeatedly stated that they have tremendous cooperation from the Muslim community.” CAIR’s hypocrisy is astounding, as it has more than once advised Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement. In January 2011, its San Francisco chapter featured on its website a poster that read, “Build A Wall of Resistance / Don’t Talk to the FBI.” In November 2014, CAIR-Florida’s “14th Annual Banquet Rooted in Faith” in Tampa distributed pamphletsentitled “What to do if the FBI comes for you” and featuring a graphic of a person holding a finger to his lips in the “shhh” signal.
Another CAIR pamphlet, entitled “Know Your Rights: Defending Rights, Defeating Intolerance” featured a graphic of the Statue of Liberty likewise making the “shhh” symbol. Cyrus McGoldrick, a former official of Hamas-linked CAIR’s New York chapter, even threatened informants, tweeting with brutal succinctness: “Snitches get stitches.” Zahra Billoo of CAIR-San Francisco regularly tweets that Muslims have no obligation to talk to the FBI, and should contact Hamas-linked CAIR if the FBI asks to talk to them.

One of my cartoons is in the picture above. I entered 11 cartoons and wouldn’t have missed this event for the world. Since I’ve learned that the FBI is a French owned government services corporation and not a part of the government and operate under color of authority and color of law. The real problems are much worse than anyone realizes. The shadow government brought the muslins into this country WITHOUT our say. How ever bad you think things are, there really much worse. All here know of migrationjihad and their plan on taking over the government and their on schedual. What most don’t know is that the shadow government IS ALREADY IN FULL CONTROL and we just don’t see it. The shado government has claimed all US assets as security for the Federal Reserve.

What the agent did was wrong, and to use the excuse, that it was an attempt to advance his position with ISIS Is B.S. His most important purpose, even when undercover, is to protect Americans and follow the law, in that order. He would rather risk the lives of many Americans, including Pamela Geller. Their priorities are all wrong. All the agents involved in this operation should be demoted or fired!
