False Flag? US Intelligence Warns Of Likely Al Qaeda Terror Attack Day Before ElectionBy Whitney Webb US authorities are said to be taking the threat seriously, though CBS News sources stress that the threat is still being assessed and its credibility has yet to be confirmed. According to CBS, counter-terrorism officials were alerted to the threat out of an abundance of caution. Earlier this week, there were also warnings that polling places could be seen as attractive targets for lone wolf attackers by individuals motivated by violent extremist ideologies, sovereign citizen or other extremist activity. This has led federal law enforcement to plan for several worst-case scenarios. One FBI official told CBS: The counter-terrorism and homeland security communities remain vigilant and well-postured to defend against attacks here in the United States. The FBI, working with our federal, state and local counterparts, shares and assesses intelligence on a daily basis and will continue to work closely with law enforcement and intelligence community partners to identify and disrupt any potential threat to public safety. However, whats interesting here is that the terror threat is coming from al Qaeda as opposed to the Islamic State. In the Syrian civil war, the US has been actively helping al Qaeda there, grouping their Syrian branch the al Nusra Front in with the moderate rebels they support. Therefore, al Qaedas ability to launch attacks within the US has been directly aided by US intelligence, making this announcement incredibly suspect. Its also worth pointing out that al Qaeda, since its inception, has been a product of the US intelligence community. In the 1980s they were essentially created by the US to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. Ever since, they have conveniently been used as the justification for an expansion of US wars abroad and the elimination of civil liberties domestically. It is also interesting that the threat is al Qaeda and NOT the Islamic State. The Islamic State has been the terrorist bogeyman of recent years and their involvement in any threat, real or imagined, is useful justification for escalating US involvement in Syria. It seems highly likely that the Islamic State was left out due to recent revelations from WikiLeaks showing that their funding comes from the very same entities that donate millions to the Clinton Foundation. It is also worth noting that if a terrorist attack does come to pass, it will be a big help for Hillary. Hillary has been under siege in recent weeks due to WikiLeaks near constant releases of her campaign chairs emails, but also due to the FBIs mutiny which led them to re-open a probe into Clintons use of a private email server. Any terror attack would give Clinton the opportunity to gain political ground by promoting her aggressive foreign policy aims in Syria and the rest of the Middle East. However, as mentioned at the beginning of this article, it is also possible that a terrorist attack on US soil would give President Obama the authority to either postpone or outright cancel the election, something he could not normally do except in the event of extraordinary circumstances. Unfortunately, only time will tell which theory is correct, compelling us to stay vigilant in the meantime. What are your thoughts? Please comment below and share this news!
