    I’m… honestly both in awe and aghast at how fucking blatant the regime is being about it. They’ve literally shut down the team that is in charge of addressing and categorizing security threats to the US originating from Iran immediately before starting a fucking war with Iran. Like… I just… what the actual fuck. I can’t even.

    Between this and the documents leaked about their plans for the election, the intent couldn’t be more obvious if they put it on a fucking billboard. I hate that it comes down to such imbecilically stupid and petty US political bullshit like that, and that it’s killing so many people and fucking up so may other parts of the world… but seriously, I really think that was a massive part of their rationale here. It’s a distraction (operation Epstein fury), combined with creating an extremely obvious opening for an asymmetrical/terroristic threat that will be used as a justification for removing the electoral process. That’s the plan.

      Well yeah when you know you need that disaster to happen then you do this, bonus because you might have to do the disaster yourself and you will not have anyone to link it back to you.

    He’s getting his tiny rotten mushroom dick half hard at the idea of another 9/11 happening between now and the midterms - he’d so very happily sacrifice 10s of thousands of Americans if it meant more power for himself…

    Allowing terrorist attacks opens the door to “national emergency” just in time for election season

    if America gets attacked because of this fat man and his administration’s war, a firing squad wouldn’t be enough to quelch my rage.

      Elections will be put on hold. Epstein investigations put on hold. The current government will absolutely allow it’s civilians to be killed in order to achieve these goals. That’s what dictators do.

      Who knows.

      I know it’s far-fetched conspiracy-theory territory…but it is pretty sus that this dude who was close with like most world leaders had millions of his correspondence released to the public under the Epstein Transparency Act…except for the ones between 1999 and 2001.

    Sort of how George W had intel that Bin Laden was planning on flying planes into buildings months before 9/11. Lucky for George, he got his war and a 2nd term. Everybody else suffered.

    Anyone who didn’t think this would increase the threat of terrorism has forgotten what they said they never would.

    (Or they weren’t born yet.)

    Luckily the “highly qualified” head of Homeland Security just got replaced with someone new who in ADDITION to being unqualified is also inexperienced.

    You don’t need a warning, if you start a war in Iran there can be more terrorist attacks than before. But pretty shure Trump knows that and did it anyway.

      Anyway? He hopes for terrorism in the US so he can have even more surveillance, put whoever he wants in his concentration camps in the name of terrorism and cancel the elections.

        We’re at a point where his loyalists will abide the darkest depths of perversion so long as their side is “winning”. If 9/11 happened today they’d pick apart the social media accounts of the victims so they could delight in all the libs who died and raise their own to martyrs. Instead of giving up their rights to Homeland Security in the name of “safety” they’ll hand them over willingly in the hopes it hurts everyone else more than it does them.
