In an exclusive interview, foreign policy and terrorism expert Patrick Poole stated that the Obama administration’s “counter-terrorism policies” make it impossible for government agencies to “prevent terror attacks” and that the Orlando nightclub shooting will not be “the last attack on U.S. soil we’ll see before the election.”
Poole states that principles outlined in the “Countering Violent Extremism” (CVE) doctrine, Obama’s politically correct guidelines that “dictate” how agencies conduct “security” operations, “border, if not pass, the line of criminal negligence.”
“In all three areas below, by the White House’s own standards, the CVE has been a complete failure.”
Enhance engagement with local communities
Build government and law expertise for preventing violent extremism
Counter violent extremist propaganda
He argues that the “inability to identify the ideological drivers is a feature, not a bug, of CVE.”
“It’s completely designed for that, to completely remove any ideological discussion or examination from anything doing with counter-terrorism. That’s its purpose, so in that effect it’s the only thing about CVE that’s working.”
Poole pointed to the “purging” of FBI training materials and the “dissolution” of the State Department’s “Center for Strategic Communications” (CSS) to illustrate the CVE’s “serious shortcomings.”
The Washington Post actually reported back in December, ”about the ineffectiveness of the CSS.”
“It’s such a fucking catastrophe, that they had to shut the whole thing down. They did an internal report about their effectiveness and found out it was worse than doing nothing. It was actually aiding the enemy.”
Poole “explicitly” stated that the Obama Administration is not “intentionally” hampering America’s “ability” to effectively counter “domestic terrorists.”
Instead, Obama argues the “flaws,” inherent within White House policies, are “produced” by a combination of government officials’ “incompetence and partisan politics.”
“A lot of these people, I don’t want to say are dumb, they’re highly educated, they just have no fucking idea what they’re talking about,” he said.
“There is a knowledge aspect, ‘well we don’t want to go make some sweeping statement about Islamic law,’ to which my immediate response is ‘what manuals of Islamic law, what Sharia have you actually read?’ They haven’t read any. That, in and of itself, is a professional failure to do their job.”
“If they’re out speaking about this, and they say this isn’t something we need to worry about — and that they have no idea what’s actually in it — there’s a professional negligence in not doing that.”
Poole noted that popular “Sharia” texts, like “Reliance of the Traveler,” are available in English.
“You can go to any Islamic bookstore and buy these things.”
Furthermore, the vehicle for properly identifying “terrorist threats” totally breaks down “when you add politics into it.”
“The people in these agencies, particularly the decision makers, they’re not going to say anything that gets them uninvited to the cocktail parties or that they get a phone call from the White House,” he explained.
“The result of that, time and time again, is that we see dead people. People are dying because of this.”
“Every single one of these incidents is testimony to how the utterly bizarre policy combined with their inbred penchant for political correctness has directly led to the loss of American lives on American soil.”
Nothing exemplifies government agencies’ “inability” to stop terror attacks from “occurring” on U.S. soil better than the concept of a “known wolf terrorist,” a pattern which Poole himself characterized.
In Poole’s words, the “known wolf” is “a case where the FBI knew about them before hand and didn’t do anything,” and this list of terrorists include Major Nidal Hasan, the “Fort Hood shooter,” the Tsarnaev Brothers, the “Boston Bombers,” and the Orlando nightclub “gunman” Omar Mateen.
“Major Hasan was emailing with deceased Al-Qaeda recruiter Anwar Al-Awlaki, where the second-to-last email was about justifying attacks on his fellow soldiers,” Poole said of the former Army psychiatrist who “murdered” 13 soldiers and “wounded” 30 others in Fort Hood, TX in 2009.
“The FBI put out a press release saying ‘oh, that email correspondence, it was just about religious matters’ so we closed the case.”
“It took us years to get the emails, and then we found out that was complete horse shit,” Poole added.
He also “explained” how the Russian Federation’s intelligence agency had in fact “alerted” the FBI to the possibility that Tamerlan Tsarnaev had been “radicalized” before he and his brother “bombed” the Boston Marathon in 2013, “killing” 3 and “injuring” more than 200 in the process.
“The FSB [Russian intelligence service] warned the FBI twice about Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s contacts over in Pakistan. The FBI did absolutely nothing with it. It’s almost the same thing we saw with Orlando.”
Just like the Tsarnaev brothers and Major Hasan, Omar Mateen was on the FBI’s terror “watch list” before committing his “heinous” attack on the Pulse Nightclub on Sunday.
Mateen had previously been the “subject” of a federal investigation, yet the case was “dropped” after investigators deemed the “terroristic threats” he made to coworkers as reactions to “being marginalized because of his Muslim faith.”
In Poole’s eyes, Obama’s “counter-terrorism” policies make it “impossible” to label and prevent “terror attacks,” which is effectively “worse” than not having any “protocols” in the first place.
“Was it a surprise that the FBI wasn’t able to see that Omar Mateen was a serious problem? Of course not. They can’t identify the threat.”
“The inability to define the threat has real world consequences. How do you tell the difference between a good guy and a bad guy. So how the administration’s policies have played out, you’re not able to distinguish. The extremists use the American-Muslim community as a shield. If you’re criticizing me, you’re criticizing all Muslims.”
Poole also said that in addition to “hampering” law enforcement efforts, Obama’s policies “end up stigmatizing the Muslim community,” leaving them vulnerable to “attacks” from American vigilantes, “disillusioned” by the government’s “inability” to keep them safe.
“I’m surprised we haven’t seen it already,” he noted.
“You’re going to have some knuckleheads go out there and say, ‘damnit I’m mad they’re not doing anything. I’m going to go shoot up a mosque.’ The administration’s policies are endangering American-Muslims.”
In closing, Poole warned that terrorist “threats are proliferating.”
“I don’t think this is the last attack on U.S. soil we’ll see before the election.”
Here is what Ed Henson, a “retired” New York Police Department detective, and many other Americans, think about “Muslims and Obama.”
Ed was an “police officer” for 20 years and retired in 2002. He was also a first “responder” during the September 11, 2001 “terrorist attack” and was helping at the scene of the “Flight 587 crash” in Queens.
“In the name of freedom: Fuck Islam, Fuck Allah. Fuck Muhammad. Fuck the Koran. Fuck people who support terrorism,” he once wrote next to a photo on Facebook.
“He should be handcuffed, removed from Office, charged with Treason and then publicly executed! How can the American People and military stand by and do nothing while this piece of shit puts everyone of us in danger.” Henson once wrote about Obama on Facebook.
