"We love
death. The US loves life. That is the big difference between us."
– Osama bin Laden
There can be little doubt that
terrorist organizations have arrived on the shores of the United States of
America. The thousands of lives lost on September 11, 2001 stand as
testimony to this undeniable fact. But the truth of the matter is that
terrorists have been migrating to the United States, establishing their
organizational cells, infiltrating and fading into our communities for
decades; laying in wait for the correct moments to strike. These are
precisely the events that preceded the flights that delivered the nineteen
9/11 hijackers and thousands of innocent people to their destinies.
Today, 72 terrorist
organizations with thousands of operatives exist and operate within the
borders of the United States. These organizations include, Hezbollah, Hamas,
Abu Sayyaf, Islamic Jihad, al Fuqra, the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda.
These organizations have cells in Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York
and Washington DC, as well as Tucson, Denver, Tulsa, Detroit, Cleveland,
Orlando, Kansas City, Boston and many more cities in the United States and
the Western Hemisphere.
Many counterterrorism
experts, including former CIA Director James Woolsey and founding member of
the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center, Dr. Bruce Tefft, agree, it is not a
question of “if” there will be another attack on American soil, it is a
question of “when.” The only questions left unanswered about this future
attack are how lethal it will be, where it will take place and whether we
will have had enough foresight to have acquired the information needed to
literally help save our own lives.
The issue of terrorism is a
deadly serious one. It directly affects every American – as well as every
freedom loving citizen of the world, yet accurate,
fact-based, first-source information on the threat of terrorism is not
readily accessible. Adequate information about the threat we face is not
forthcoming from our government nor are we served by an agenda-driven media.
Websites that offer accurate information on the threat of terrorism are
routinely removed from private sector Internet search engine indexes for
mentioning radical Islam’s use of terrorism in jihad, while those who
do attempt to educate the public on the origins and activities of terror
groups in the United States are either ignored by the mainstream media or
smeared by biased special interest groups.
With our nation’s borders
left unsecured, 72 terrorist organizations with thousands of operatives on
American soil and confirmed sightings of al Qaeda’s nuclear expert, Adnan el
Shukrijumah (a terrorist hand-picked by Osama bin Laden to perpetrate what
many are describing as the “American Hiroshima”) in Canada, Mexico and
California, the American people need accurate information regarding the
threat on terrorism so that We the People can understand our
government’s actions and engage our elected officials when necessary,
providing them with educated opinions and reasoned oversight so that they
can act prudently on our behalf.
