With both FBI investigations and media reporting on last week’s San Bernardino shooting emphasizing a terror connection, ISIS is looking to cash in, embracing the shooters as “supporters” and claiming them among the “martyrs” of the movement.
Chalking up the incident as an ISIS attack is a simple explanation for what is starting to seem a complicated situation combining radicalization and workplace anger, though officials maintain that there is no sign of any direct ties between the shooters and ISIS.
At the same time, gunman Syed Farook’s father says his son “approved” of ISIS, and agreed with ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi about the merits of creating an Islamic State in the Middle East. Farook’s wife was also said to have pledged allegiance to ISIS on Facebook.
Ultimately though, there is an important distinction between ISIS actually organizing and carrying out an attack in the US, and a couple whose ideology leaned in the same direction carrying out a lone wolf attack without any link to any outside group.
Locked in darkness — How can the public organize a resistance?
What was the shooters argument with the co-worker about? What friends do the shooters have that share their brand of politics? Surely two key questions that must be answered before we the public can get involved and take control of the situation.
And that is why High Society has always made sure that they own all of mainstream media and use it to keep the public blinded to reality, not involved, not organized and enslaved by a terrorizing government.
For our public is driven by self-preservation and will never get involved in a life threatening situation unless they are directly involved. And that is why if news is kept under wraps until after the public considers it history, then never will the public get involved.
