This from (pretending) DHS head Johnson today:


“We’re very definitely in a new environment, because of ISIL’s effective use of social media, the Internet, which has the ability to reach into the homeland and possibly inspire others...Because of the use of the Internet*, we could have little or no notice in advance of an independent actor attempting to strike.”

New (pretending) AG Lynch recently make a very similar reference just a few days ago implying as to how the interwebs are 'a problem with respect to the ease of recruitment of terrorists'.

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

*clearly "the use of the internet" is rapidly becoming a 'threat' to 'national security', so we can reasonably expect to see this be *addressed* and acted upon

You mean all of the traffic monitoring and tech giant data gathering hasn't resulted in ISIS ability to inspire fear? Gee maybe we should stop funding them. Nah... Let's go after the internet.

Is anyone buying the ISIS soldiers in the US bs? Is anyone worried they will be killed by ISIS?

Recently I had a conversation with an older friend...someone I've tried to open his eyes to all of the bullshit
Friend mentions to me in conversation, "did you hear ISIS has soldiers in the US?"
Me: "yes I did and I don't believe it"
Me: "where did you get this information?"
Friend: "From the news on TV!"
Me: "Did you hear the unemployment rate has dropped to an 8 year low?"
Friend: "you know those numbers are bullshit!"
Me: "But they must be true...I got it from the same news/people as you did"
Friend:........................................... ..................................?
