In new comments to 60 Minutes, CIA Director John Brennan continued to play up the idea of an ISIS attack inside the United States, saying it is “inevitable” that ISIS will make attempts to launch attacks, and will continue to try to build the infrastructure needed to do so.
Brennan went on to brag that the US has prevented “numerous” ISIS attacks already, and would be prepared to prevent the future attacks too. The comments in this regard are seen as part of an effort to try to get more money in the budget.
The claims of success, however, are not new, and the FBI regularly touts its large number of “foiled” attacks, even though many of the detained suspects were captured on unfounded allegations, and even when they manage to get convictions, the “ISIS” in question almost never have contact with ISIS itself.
Brennan’s lone example of a “real” attack was the claim that the CIA knew days before the Paris attack that something was going to happen somewhere, though this sort of vague prediction is hardly comforting, nor indicative of the ability to stop “something.”
In other words, ‘give us more money and don’t criticize any of the immoral and illegal stuff we do.’
Well if anyone would know what ‘ISIS’ is planning it would be the CIA. They run ISIS after all.
If there were supposedly “numerous” ISIS attacks then Congress should have asked him for more than a single example of their “stopping” such attacks. Since we no longer (if ever actually) believe what our government toadies say when they attempt to justify anything, proof please!!
Just as Al Qaeda came back after Charlie Wilsons War and attacked the US it is doing the same in Syria after Al Qaeda’s Child Al Nusra Front formerly Al Qaeda in Iraq spawned ISIS! Remember that Al Qaeda is a child of the CIA, just as ISIS is! Also remember this carefully there would be NO refugee crisis in Europe but for US funding of Al Nusra to fight Syria, and that is based on the old and very tired idea that to provide free schools and Health is actually Communism! Yes if you haven’t noticed every country that the US went after in the Arab (US FUNDED) spring was Baathist!
I watched the 60 Minutes episode, and the insufferable Scott Pelley was continually trying to put words in Brennan’s mouth. Brennan always had to demur somewhat.
Pelley would ask leading questions something like (paraphrased) “ISIS is going to attack the US isn’t it?” Brennan answered as this article describes, which is not the same as a “yes”.
Similar Q&A in this vein followed, but 60 Minutes’s and Brennan’s obvious implied intentions were to scare people and push for ever more resources to the M/I complex.
Out of the ashes of the Second World War … history is repeating itself. The Chambers of Death of World War Two, European Theater, have been reconstituted, disguised as convention centers. Thus, another “inevitable” terrorist attack in the United States, leading to Martial Law and the takeover of all communications systems? Followed by the most massive kill-off of humanity in history? See: Swans Commentary Letter 239. See Also: CNN Point, November 25, 2015.
The Second World War as an international war – literally between nation-states.
Hard to find any of that going on anywhere nowadays.
So the MIC resorts to goading factions within nation-states, or in some cases what’s left of nation-states after earlier cases of “spreading democracy and nation-building”, to attack one another so they can takes sides and join in to keep fear mongering and ensure the gravy-train motoring keeps along nicely. They must keep their hand in as they wait for a suitable incident in the South Chiba Seas to get things going internationally again.
Brennan and his ilk are hoping to prevent climate change from making humans extinct by doing it first themselves.
We’re being groomed for another government-orchestrated false flag attack in order to impose fullblown martial law and a permanent state of emergency. Whatever tatters remain of our rights and civil liberties will be abolished under the guise of national security . The shadow government grows tired of skulking in the darkness and wishes to operate unfettered and in plain view .
Claims US Prevented ‘Numerous’ ISIS Attacks Already…
More lies and propaganda concocted by the corrupt USG regime
and churned out through the hapless, worthless, corporate media.
60 Minutes has always been a stooge for the regime, even before
Dan Rather retracted an accurate story on Dubya, the so-called
war (hero), who had really dodged the draft – with daddy’s help.
ISIS is a creation of the USG, and bankrolled by the CIA. If
there are any future (terrorist) attacks in the U.S., aka 9/11,
the CIA – not ISIS will be responsible.
