Homeland Security NTAS Bulletin

WASHINGTON – Today, Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad F. Wolf issued a new National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin pertaining to the changing threat landscape following the successful U.S.-led airstrike in Iraq that eliminated Qaseem Soleimani, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force, a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.


I commend the President’s decisive action to protect American lives both abroad and at home. The Department of Homeland Security stands ready to confront and combat any and all threats facing our homeland. While there are currently no specific, credible threats against our homeland, DHS continues to monitor the situation and work with our Federal, State and local partners to ensure the safety of every American.

As a result of yesterday’s military action, I convened senior DHS leadership last night and earlier this morning to assess potential new threats and component actions to respond to the constantly evolving threat landscape. The entire Department remains vigilant and stands ready, as always, to defend the Homeland.”

At this time there is no specific, credible threat against the homeland. The Department issued this bulletin to inform, share protective measures, and reassure the American public, state and local governments, and private sector partners that the Department of Homeland Security is actively monitoring and preparing for any specific, credible threat, should one arise” said Acting Secretary Wolf.

The Department is operating with an enhanced posture and various operational components are taking protective measures where prudent and necessary. We have been in constant communication with Congress and interagency partners. The American people should feel assured the entire Department is working for them to keep them safe.”

Treasury singles out IRGC and four other entities as sponsors of terrorist groups

Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin, yesterday announced the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), in carrying out the 2007 global terrorism Executive Order 13224, singled out five entities for providing support to a number of terrorist groups. On top is the Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the parent organization of the IRGC-QF, primary propagandist to spread the ideology of the Islamic Revolution worldwide and main link in Iran's terrorist proxies. The IRGC was singled out for its activities in assisting, sponsoring, providing financial services, providing technological support and other materials to and of support to the IRGC-QF.

It was also designated, under the 2011 Executive Order 13553 and 2012 Executive Order 13606, for its activities with Iran’s human rights abuses. IRGC has been found to have deployed, after training them, IRGC-QF ground forces to Syria and giving them significant combat support, as well as serving as snipers and machine gunners. They also recruited and trained Afghan and Pakistani nationals that were deployed to the battlefields on Syria. Their efforts include using their bases and civilian airports in Iran to provide military equipment in Iraq and Syria. IRGC is the third-wealthiest organization in Iran and has no problem using their money as a recruitment tool. Iran’s proposed 2017-18 fiscal budget is reported to provide IRGC with $7 billion, up from $4.5 billion. 



Shahid Alamolhoda Industries (SAI), owned or controlled by Iran's Naval Defence Missile Industry Group (SAIG), for their involvement in developing missile components.

Rastafann Ertebat Engineering Company for providing SAIG with radar systems and IRGC with communication equipment. They also provide both entities with financial, technological and other support and services.

Fanamoj, the parent company of Rastafann, also provided services to IRGC and worked in Iran's military missile systems by designing components.

Wuhan Sanjiang Import and Export Co. LTD, a Chinese-based company, for the support and services they offered Iran’s Shiraz Electronics Industries (SEI) that is controlled by Iran’s Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics. Wuhan Sanjiang has been doing business with SEI since 2014, selling their navigation-related gyrocompasses and have sold SEI, in a undercover type way, millions of dollars worth of high specialized sensors.

Obama's Iran deal

It looks like the Iran agreement is much like Obamacare- full of lies, deceit and secret deals. The only difference is that they managed to do it in just a 159 pages. Obama once again has violated the balance of power and ignored the House and Senate by giving the UN the first say on this deal. Obama once again with trickery has willingly put our safety at risk. Iran is a known chief sponsor of #terrorism, they have been known to cheat on past deals, and now we have learned secret deals were made – Obama has given #Iran a path to develop and obtain nuclear weapons. Obama has no problem in threatening; and this is not the first time; Congress not to stand in the way of his Iran deal.

Just a phoney scandal

Now that we established that Benghazi, Libya is just a phony scandal that Republicans and other right -hearted people are inquiring about - lets see just how phony it is---------------

U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, killed in 9/11 terrorist attack at American consulate in Benghazi, Libya.  On the Governments own website.   Obits from Washington Post

Tyrone Woods, Navy SEAL, killed in 9/11 terrorist attack at American consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
 
Glen Doherty, Navy SEAL, killed in 9/11 terrorist attack at American consulate in Benghazi, Libya

Sean Smith, Foreign Service Officer and Air Force veteran, killed in 9/11 terrorist attack at American consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

David Ubben, Foreign Service Officer, went back into the smoke and fire multiple times until his found Sean Smith, several times to find Ambassador Stevens, who he could not find, joined Woods and Doherty on CIA annex roof – defending the compound till the end when a mortar shed his right leg. Today he is still recovering from his injuries. 

These were all real people, along with all the others that were there and sustained injuries.  

The only thing that seems to be phony about Obama's statement, is him.  From the beginning, the American people were inundated with lies.
 
After hearing the following statements:

Here’s what I’ll say: If four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal. We’re going to fix it. All of it,”  Obama responded
 
What difference does it make at this point”  a bold statement by Hillary Clinton. 
 
How could one not believe that our own government stood by and did nothing. 

Maybe Obama and Clinton should read the papers more often.

Is our government guilty of murder?

President Barack Obama meeting with healthcare...
Our government lied to us about the attacks in Libya when they claimed they were just the acts of a spontaneous mob in reaction to a You Tube video.  Our government has proven they are inept to tell a terrorist attack from a protest.  How could anyone trust the Obama administration to protect us from attacks here at home if they could not (or would not) protect Americans overseas.

Top security official in Libya twice begged the State Department for more security, but was told they would not get any, our fellow Americans were killed because the Obama administration failed to heed the warnings and evidence that an attack was imminent. 

From what we hear from the hearings the issue of needed safety was not one that just cropped up the week before – it was an on-going problem that no one in the Obama administration wanted to deal with and now feel covering up and blaming anyone and everything for their failure is the right thing to do. 

Richard Nixon resigned because of lies and cover-ups; Bill Clinton was impeached for lies and cover-ups.  Instead re-elect Obama, it should be impeach Obama.  When has lying and deceiving the American people, become an acceptable way of doing business from our leaders?

It makes no difference what department failed - it is the Obama administration - that makes it Obama's fault, he is responsibile for anything his people do or say.

Pandering Panda

White House

Obama calmly said the Libya attack was due to a YouTube movie trailer when everything pointed to a terrorist attack.   The pandering of terrorist is as bad as their pandering of illegal aliens.

The more we find out what was happening in Libya before the deadly attack, the more it leaves you to believe the lying and cover-up was on the agenda. 

We learn that repeated requests were made by Ambassador Chris Stevens for increase security and was denied even though they knew his life had been threaten.  Then we learn that 24 hours after the fact Obama and other departments in charged had reports that it was indeed a terrorist attack and they still came out and lied about what happened.

The lying by all that were to protect this man and other Americans there should not be forgiven.  All the lying, twisting of words, and deceiving that has come out of this White House should not be forgotten. 

Clinton was impeached because he had lied about his relationship with 22-year-old White House intern Monica Lewinsky.  Nixon faced certain impeachment for obstruction of justice in the Watergate burglaries.  When has lying and deceiving become acceptable with our leaders?
