FBI National Domestic Threat Assessment Omits Mention of Possible Islamist Terrorism — Meanwhile ISIS is operating in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, directly across the U.S. border from El Paso, Texas

A very recent FBI internal report labels white supremacists, black separatists, militias, abortion extremists as the main U.S. domestic extremists  —  it doesn’t mention any Homeland Islamist threat

Meanwhile, ISIS ( the militant group know as the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria ) has  already set up operations just across the wide-open U.S.– Mexico Border in Juarez

Everything has collapsed on the U.S. southern border during President Obama's watch

A copy of the unclassified, 60-page National Threat Assessment for Domestic Extremism, dated Aug. 14, was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. It warns that the threat of domestic -origin extremism was moderate in 2013 and will remain so for this year.

According to Free Beacon, “The FBI’s most recent national threat assessment for domestic terrorism makes no reference to Islamist terror threats, despite last year’s Boston Marathon bombing and the 2009 Fort Hood shooting—both carried out by radical Muslim Americans. ***
Instead, the internal FBI intelligence report concluded in its 2013 assessment published this month that the threat to U.S. internal security from extremists is limited to attacks and activities by eight types of domestic extremist movements—none motivated by radical Islam. ***
They include anti-government militia groups and white supremacy extremists, along with “sovereign citizen” nationalists, and anarchists. Other domestic threat groups outlined by the FBI assessment include violent animal rights and environmentalist extremists, black separatists, anti- and pro-abortion activists, and Puerto Rican nationalists....”  (See “FBI National Domestic Threat Assessment Omits Islamist Terrorism” by Bill Gertz, 8/29/14, Washington Free Beacon [FBI National Domestic Threat Assessment Omits Islamist Terrorism
Internal report labels white supremacists, black separatists, militias, abortion extremists main domestic extremists]).

Among several critics of the FBI report, The Washington Free Beacon quoted Patrick Poole, a domestic terrorism expert, who was extremely critical of the report’s omission of U.S. Islamist extremism, blaming “politically correct” policies at the FBI for the problem, as follows: “At the same time we have senior members of the Obama administration openly saying that it’s not a question of if but when we have a terror attack targeting the United States by ISIL, we have the FBI putting on blinders to make sure they don’t see that threat....  These politically correct policies have already allowed Americans to be killed at Fort Hood and in Boston.”

The perpetrators of those two terrorist events had been reported to the FBI by intelligence sources prior to each those events and the FBI passed on taking a more active role until after the events.

ISIS ALREADY ON THE POROUS MEXICAN BORDER

Top terrorist-watcher Andrew McCarthy, writing for National Review, highlights the findings of a Judicial Watch Report, as follows:  For those of us who’ve been raising alarms about both the jihadist threat and the national-security vulnerability created by the Obama administration’s non-enforcement of the immigration laws, this is not a surprise — particularly less than two weeks before September 11. But it is nonetheless jarring to read. Judicial Watch has just put out this statement: ‘Islamic terrorist groups are operating in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez and planning to attack the United States with car bombs or other vehicle born improvised explosive devices (VBIED). High-level federal law enforcement, intelligence and other sources have confirmed to Judicial Watch that a warning bulletin for an imminent terrorist attack on the border has been issued.  Agents across a number of Homeland Security, Justice and Defense agencies have all been placed on alert and instructed to aggressively work all possible leads and sources concerning this imminent terrorist threat.’ ” (See “Judicial Watch: Feds’ Bulletin Describes Threat of Imminent Terrorist Attack on Southern Border” by Andrew C. McCarthy, 8/29/14, National Review/ The Corner [http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/386694/judicial-watch-feds-bulletin-describes-threat-imminent-terrorist-attack-southern]).

The whole of the National Review- Andrew McCarthy- Judicial Watch report describes a truly disturbing reality along the U.S.– Mexico Border in parts of Texas.  This includes the current reality –  “that the U.S. Border Patrol actually ordered officers to avoid the most crime-infested stretches because they’re ‘too dangerous’ and patrolling them could result in an ‘international incident’ of cross border shooting....”

In the meantime, let’s not forget the now-infamous words of the Obama Administration’s first Homeland Security Secretary and full-time flak, Janet Napolitano, describing the southern border is “as secure as it has ever been.”  Well, if that was true when Secretary Janet said it, we can use it as a premise for a very simple  conclusion  >>>  everything has collapsed on the Southern Border of the United States during Obama’s watch.
