ISIS Isn't Much of a Threat at U.S.-Mexico Border

ISIS Plans To Invade United States Through Mexico, But Drug Cartels Could Fight Back
ISIS Plans To Invade United States Through Mexico, U.S. Official Warns

ISIS militants have reportedly been talking about invading the United States through the border with Mexico, a United States official warned this week.

Speaking before a Senate committee, the under secretary for intelligence and analysis at the Department of Homeland Security said militants have been caught on social media discussing ways to infiltrate the United States.

“There have been Twitter and social-media exchanges among ISIL adherents across the globe speaking about that as a possibility,” said Francis Taylor in response to a question from Senator John McCain, an Arizona Republican.

Taylor added that the ISIS invasion talk wasn’t too much of a threat, and that he was “satisfied that we have the intelligence and the capability at our border that would prevent that activity.”

There could be major problems if ISIS planned to invade the United States through Mexico. U.S. officials say that the Mexican drug cartels controlling the region are defensive of their turf, especially regarding threats that could bring the United States government and its firepower to their lucrative drug-smuggling territory.

At any rate, ISIS would not have the capacity to invade anyway, said Nicholas Rasmussen, deputy director of the National Counterterrorism Center.

“We do not assess right now they have the capability to mount an effective large-scale attack on the United States,” Rasmussen said.

This comes after an alert from Sheriff Gary Painter, who works near El Paso, that an ISIS terrorist cell formed just a few miles from the Texas border. Painter claimed that the Islamic State militants have converged in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. That region has been one of the most violent, as clashes between drug cartels and with Mexican military officials have claimed thousands of lives.

Painter added that Texas law enforcement officers have been advised to be on the lookout for “suspicious, potential terrorist activity.” There have not yet been any concrete reports of ISIS activity near the United States border with Mexico, however.

It has been easy to get into the US since 9/11. If some well financed group of radicals really wanted to come in here and raise some hell they could and would have done it already. Saudi Arabia finances these thugs and oddly enough we let students from Saudi Arabia go to school here. There are 750 Saudi students where my daughter is going to college and they are in the process of converting an existing building into a mosque. Now if you want to scuba dive the Red Sea and try and stay at a Saudi resort as an American, chances are you will be denied a visa.

So there you go. We are open to the Saudis but they aren't open to us. They finance Islamic radical groups. We have had porus borders for a long time. Nothing has happened. Yet at least. Hispanic gangs have probably caused more problems than muslims have. So far at least.

Of course if anything happens, the government will just crack down on the citizens who had nothing to do with any trouble more. Grandma will get a full cavity search at the airport and her medication will be flagged as a possible bio-weapon.

The best target to hit in the US is the power grid and oil and gas pipelines. If you really want to cost someone money and wreck havoc. Hit those. Heck hit some oil refineries. We barely have enough to meet our fuel needs.

All I can say is there seems to be no terrorists with any strategic savy.

Of course what is the objective of this so called ISIS group? To do away with the old British contrived borders in the middle east and set up an Islamic caliphate. Supposedly they made their move when the US was weak in that area. Supposedly they see the US leadership as weak and with the situation in the Ukraine raging on, maybe they saw it as an opportune time to make a move.

To be honest there are so many conflicting stories on this ISIS business who knows what really is going on and who is behind it. All I know is the military industrial complex is loving it. More excuses to justify their existence and our large military spending.

This has the makings of a real-life Aliens v. Predators movie. :biggrin:

But seriously, ya gotta figure they have the capability to mount many effective small scale attacks though.

Behind every problem you will find a banker. HSBC and Wells Fargo launder the Mexican drug cartel money. Old opium trade money runs HSBC. It really should be named The Smack Bank of Asia. We know big Saudi money is backing ISIS. So is it just the House of Saud or who else is playing in their sand box.

The thugs are just expendable puppets. Pieces on the chess board. Who are the real players and what are their geopolitical aims? Big money always has geopolitical goals. What role is ISIS really playing here? That's the question.

That would be a really bad slogan for an actual bank...

Israel and Saudi Arabia don´t want a successful secular Arabian nation to emerge anywhere in the region. Israel so it can stay threatened and thus receive billions of American tax dollars and Saudi Arabia for the obvious reason that a successful secular Arabian nation would be a precedent that endagers their system. That´s why all sides but the Russians wanted to get rid of Assad at any cost.

Any drug gang in Mexico knows that these terrorist fucks are going to have a lot of cash on hand in order not to be traced. Shit, the drug lords will probably just let their low-level employees do some killing on the side and let them keep the money.

Yup Israel needs to be threatened to justify the US aid they get which is substantial. Saudi oil backs the petrol dollar. The petrol dollar is issued by the Federal Reserve. It's mostly jews (some who are dual Israeli citizens who run the FED) so there is that important tie in.

Syria has it's own currency. It's secular. It's prime real estate to run pipelines. Qattar wants to sell natural gas to Europe. The natural course for such a pipeline is through Syria. Such a pipeline challenges Russia not to mention regime change might kick the Russian navy out of Syria.

With reports saying Saudi Arabia is approaching exhausted oil reserves and the Federal Reserve Note having future challenges it would be interesting to see is Saudi Arabia sides with Russia and China in the future. The only problem is Iran is becoming an ally with China and Russia and Saudi Arabia and Iran hate each other.

One thing for sure, the western dominance of the world will be challenged big time this century.

I´ve never been a friend of the petrodollar argument. In today´s world any dollar you get can turn into a Euro or a Swiss Franc at the wink of an eye and vice versa. If you buy oil in Rotterdam´s spot market no body will turn away your business just because you´re only holding Euros.

The "western dominance" thing is already over. Just imagine what would happen if, let´s say Ghana ripped off western patents the way China does. There´s be a "regime change" in no time. In China though, western companies are flocking to invest even though they know they might get plagiated without anybody interfering. That should tell you who rules the world today. Luckily for many small poor countrie China is about business and not about exporting a certain lifestyle and ideology.

Since the agreements of 1971 and 1973, OPEC oil is exclusively quoted in US dollars. This created a permanent demand for dollars on the international exchange markets.

Sure you can buy oil in other currencies but a vast percentage of the world's oil assets are traded in the US dollar. Then of course the US used those dollars to finance the largest military machine in world history. Then after 9/11 there was a plan to take over strategic middle east countries and control the middle east.

Clearly there were some people in the US government or influencing the government that felt they could take over key areas of the world with the US military and then use those assets to leverage more control. Why? No other nation had a military that could match the US. China was still behind the times and Russia was a basket case.

Now these greedy moves has damaged the US reputation and people want to dump the Federal Reserve Note because they don't want to finance the war machine any longer.

China was built up because people like HW Bush wanted to weaken the US. It's all engineered to enrich those in the know and screw everyone else. Outsource the jobs, kill the middle class, import drugs. It's not that China beat the US, it's that we had leaders and people of industry who wanted to weaken the US and build up China.

Putin's transformation of Russia has been a huge surprise and what seems to be good relations between China and Russia is another.

I would say the old petro dollar game is coming to an end but the big question is can the BRICS be a major world player? There clearly is a war brewing between BRICS alligned countries and the old western alliance. The old guard wants to hangonto control and they are willing to get very violent to keep it. China and Russia seem to be playing a more sophisticated long term game of three dimension chess. That being, if you give the old western guard in North America and Europe enough rope they will just hang themselves.

IMHO the "reserve currency" game became the important bit after the end of Bretton Woods. Imagine being able to issue IOUs and to know that a major amount of them will not get cashed. It´s not as if others, just look at tiny Switzerland, aren´t also very good at this. With more and more countries moving to a "reserve currency basket" the USA will find it increasingly difficult to finance its debt at reasonable terms.
