FBI warnings to the troops
Pinto Nag sends us a link to CNN in regards to the FBI warning the troops about posting personal information to the internet on social media and websites like this. Like you didn’t know, right? It’s not a good idea, anyway, because our domestic terrorists like the Lemon Party Triad will publish pictures of your family and your homes along with driving directions so they can back to their lives being something that they’re not. But, I digress;
“We also request members of the military review their online social media presence for any information that might attract the attention of violent extremists,” the bulletin said, advising that members of the military “use caution and practice operational security when posting.”
The new FBI bulletin includes a concern that ISIS members are “spotting and assessing” individuals in the U.S. who they believe may be interested in carrying out attacks on U.S. soil against members of the U.S. military, a U.S. counter-terror official tells CNN.
The bulletin language warns of “individuals overseas spotting and assessing” individuals in the U.S., based on their social media postings in support of the group. The warning encourages members of the military to “exercise operational security” in response to such threats, including reviewing their online social media postings so as not to make themselves easier targets.
Sounds just like dealing with Bernath, et al. If you’ve taken security measures to successfully protect yourself from Bernath and Wittgenfeld, that will probably confound al Qaeda, too.
In other baseless terrorist warnings, Fox News says that “unnamed security experts” are warning that al Qaeda is clawing it’s way back into the news by threatening to hijack five passenger aircraft to crash into European cities before Christmas;
“We’ve been told that five planes are being targeted in a high profile hit before Christmas. They’ve been waiting for the big one,” one unnamed airport security source told the newspaper.
The Department of Homeland Security has not yet responded to a request from FoxNews.com for comment.
One source who spoke with Fox News questioned the credibility of the claims.
I think hijacking planes is so 2001 and it will take another ten years for folks to get so complacent for that to be an effective weapon once more. I’m pretty sure the “lone wolf” attack that seems to be the rage this decade is more popular and a bigger threat.

Wouldn’t it be bad Karma if ISIS started taking out posers thinking they were real?
Taking out posers, fakers and phonies. Hmmm… Now there’s a thought.
How quickly would they disappear?
DAMN, I think you’re on to something! Who would an ISIS inbred rather try to take out, someone who says “Yeah, I served, but just…” versus some dingleberry claiming to have been Soooperdooperseekritskwirrwl SEAL/ Scout Sniper Recon Ranger every time he/it thinks someone is listening? KEEP BLABBING, POSERS!!!
Bonus points if a poser gets taken out by an erstwhile ISIS Latrine Polisher. Could get messy.
LMAO, I think you are right. I will bet anything there are posers deleting their bullshit claims off Facebook as we speak. When their friends ask why it all disappeared they will use ‘The government ordered me to keep a low profile’.
When the shit hits the fan I hope they can fit all that valor they have under the rock they crawl. If is wasn’t for the stench of piss we would never know where they were.
I have met the enemy, I have seen their way of life, I will not live under its rule.
So you’re saying there’s a chance ISIS might show up to my house for Christmas?
This year could be all kinds of win. I just got a new carbine I haven’t been able to get to the range.
I’ll leave the front light on….
so i don’t hit the neighbors house.
I guess it’s okay to publish where the Ferguson cop lives since ISIS isn’t after him…
Ah yes. The Hussein approach to combating terrorism.
Since we won’t effectively combat it, designate it, or categorize it, just don’t piss off terrorists, America!
Not to go off the rails, but one of my personal pet peeves got mentioned: unidentified information sources. The idea, my lazy friends of the MSM, is to use unidentified sources for a heads-up on a story, and THEN go to the OFFICIAL sources for confirmation of the potential information. But that would take too much effort on your part, wouldn’t it?
Fuck them. I am real hard to find. “As for me, I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.” Oh, Ishmael.
The general conclusion of folks back home over thanksgiving was that if they want to come play cowboys and indians, they would likely be surprised at how many were game.
I still feel like less of a target than I was in Afghanistan on the FOBs with the fashionable yellow reflector belt the Army made everyone wear at night.
