Last week FBI Director Christopher Wray told the Associated Press that he was “hard pressed to think of a time in my career where so many different kinds of threats are all elevated at once.”

Wray was in Brooklyn Center, MN, at the Minneapolis field office to meet with agents and other law enforcement agencies and entities about partnering to address pressing threats. Wray specifically mentioned “heightened concerns over terrorism, both domestic and international, as well as Chinese espionage and intellectual property theft, and foreign election interference.”

Wray has been raising alarms since October 7 when Hamas brutally attacked Israel assaulting families in their homes as well as young people who were attending an outdoor music festival. The terrorists tortured and raped hundreds of people before killing them or taking them hostage. More than 100 hostages, including some Americans, remain unaccounted for despite Israeli and American attempts to get them back.

The world is teetering on the precipice of multiple wars and threats of war from Russia and Ukraine to Israel and Iran and its proxies around the Middle East, not to mention China’s threats against Taiwan as well as espionage and election interference against the U.S.

On May 22, “(T)he House Committee on Homeland Security released its April “Startling Stats” factsheet, outlining the April 2024 U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) border encounter data. According to CBP, Southwest border encounters exceeded 179,000 last month, and total nationwide encounters exceeded 247,000. The Biden administration is now on track to hit 10 million encounters at America’s borders nationwide well before the end of the fiscal year––showing the border crisis remains at catastrophic levels.”

We have five more months — or more — of the weakest administration in American history. The FBI and other agencies announced “that Iran was responsible for a hack targeting the Trump campaign and for an attempted breach of the Biden-Harris campaign, part of what officials portrayed as a brazen and aggressive effort to interfere in American politics.”

The last time a terrorist attack “interfered” with a presidential election was September 11, 2012. Let that sink in.

According to Wikipedia, “The 2012 Benghazi attack was a coordinated attack against two United States government facilities in Benghazi, Libya, by members of the Islamic militant group Ansar al-Sharia.

“On September 11, 2012, at 9:40 p.m. local time, members of Ansar al-Sharia attacked the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi resulting in the deaths of both United States Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens and U.S. Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith.

“At around 4:00 a.m. on September 12, the group launched a mortar attack against a CIA annex approximately one mile (1.6 km) away, killing two CIA contractors Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty and wounding ten others.”

I rarely quote Wikipedia unless government accounts are misleading or flat out lies. Wikipedia continued: “Initial analysis by the CIA, repeated by top government officials, indicated that the attack spontaneously arose from a protest.” You may remember Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and National Security Advisor Susan Rice blaming a YouTube video for the “spontaneous riots.”

Over the past three and a half years the world has illegally immigrated into and across America. Who are they? Where are they? And, what are they planning?
