They deserve the spotlight too.🫡

Warnings about the imminent US homeland plot is coming almost entirely from private citizens and independent sources, not from official government channels. The intense, grassroots effort to uncover and interrupt the homeland plot is being driven by ordinary Americans and non-governmental actors, rather than federal agencies. What stands out most is this...the raw, credible intelligence signaling a major, imminent terrorist attack on US soil, one poised to eclipse previous incidents in scale, devastation and loss of life, is being collected, verified and shared primarily by civilians, not by those on government payrolls. The sheer volume of high-quality, actionable tips and evidence that everyday Americans are proactively pushing directly to three-letter agencies is extraordinary and would astonish most of you. These key national security bodies are fully informed of the imminent homeland plot. The Executive Branch, Department of Defense, Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Homeland Security, Defense Intelligence Agency and National Counterterrorism Center have all received detailed briefings and are operating with this intelligence in hand. Yet despite this, the warnings from concerned citizens continues to be sidelined or downplayed. Why are these credible reports being largely ignored? What's the end game here? From where I stand, the trajectory is clear and catastrophic. Without decisive action, 10's of thousands American lives hang in the balance. The homeland plot is real. Multiple independent sources have furnished credible intelligence straight to the US government. When the attack occurs, the post finger-pointing and excuses won't hold. The public already knows the intelligence was there, pushed forward by patriots outside the system. Accountability will be unavoidable this time. The time for inaction is over. The American people deserve transparency, preparation and protection, not silence.
When Iranians risk their lives for freedom and BBC, Sky News, and CNN look away, silence becomes complicity.
History will remember who spoke. And who didn’t.
Message from Iran:
This is Marvdasht. People are in the streets. The Islamic Republic is brutally cracking down.
With every young person the Islamic Republic kills, our anger grows stronger.
We must win, otherwise Khamenei will slaughter us all and hang us.
Let the world hear our voice.
They have slowed down the internet and may cut it off completely, so they can kill us more easily.

The Last Mile of Preparedness
We are reaching the end of this series of tips to help prepare you, your family, and your community for al-Qaeda’s current homeland plotting. Many of the tips are saved under my highlights tab if you missed them. You already know what you need to do. It is time to stop waiting for another round of guidance and tighten up the plans you’ve already put into place.
As I have made clear, we do preparedness for as long as the terrorists remain in their pre-attack phase. They are now only a couple of weeks away from moving into their operational phase. That is when your posture must shift as well: from preparing to being vigilant, disciplined, and ready to act. This requires a major reset in mindset. But you can do it. You are so much more prepared than you think.
Here is a final checklist to run through:
• Review your family emergency action plan. Make sure every member knows where to meet, who to call, and what to do if communications fail.
• Build a communication-down plan: pre-set meeting points, printed contacts, backup devices, and old phones or battery-powered radios if you have them.
• Update all emergency contacts on paper and in devices. Keep a hard copy in your go bags.
• Identify a safe, neutral meeting point outside your neighborhood in case your immediate area becomes inaccessible.
• Make sure your go bags are packed: medications, IDs, flashlights, headlamps,chargers, water, power banks, and basic first aid. Include N95 masks for debris and sturdy gloves.
• Keep multiple light sources in your home, vehicle, and go bags: small flashlights, headlamps, and extra batteries.
• Know how to safely shut off household utilities (gas, water, electricity) and ensure that locks, windows, and basic home safety measures are functioning.
• Confirm evacuation and shelter-in-place routes. Practice “getting off the X” with calm, simple walk-throughs as places you will frequent over the holiday Christmas season and New Years.
• Strengthen your physical security posture: identify solid cover, know your exits, and place yourself where you can move quickly and safely if needed.
• Keep at least one week of food and drinking water at home. This is your buffer if infrastructure is strained or travel is restricted.
• Keep extra essential medications on hand if possible; a two-week buffer is ideal. Include any medical-specific items your family needs.
• Have backup power: charged power banks, a small battery station if you own one, extra charging cables for every device and every vehicle.
• Cash is king, keep enough cash at home in case ATMs or digital payments go down.
• Update your digital readiness: download offline maps, critical documents scanned, alert apps installed, and encrypted communication tools ready.
• Secure essential documents: IDs, passports, birth certificates, insurance policies, and medical records scanned and stored safely (digital + paper).
• Review your awareness habits: know exits everywhere you go, trust your gut, and move early if something feels wrong.
• Check trauma kit: tourniquets, pressure bandages, gauze, gloves, and take Stop the Bleed or do a quick trauma refresher.
• Review indicators of chemical or biological exposure so you can recognize symptoms early and avoid secondary contamination. Assume any explosion could contain caustic components.
• Wear the right shoes and clothing for the environment you are traveling through. If you end up in a ground stop, you may have to evacuate on foot. Be ready to do that safely.
• Keep backup walking shoes in your car or at work.
• Keep a small “stuck away from home” kit in your work bag or purse: water, snacks, charger, flashlight, and basic first aid.
• Keep an emergency kit in every vehicle: water, blanket or jacket, flashlight, charger, roadside reflectors or flares, and both a basic first-aid kit and a trauma kit.
• Know at least two hospitals and two urgent-care centers near your home, workplace, and your children’s school.
• If you rely on medical devices, know your power-backup options.
• Practice calm communication lines: clear, direct, reassuring language that keeps everyone focused, especially children. Use quick text codes within your family.
• Have a plan with your community network: neighbors, coworkers, and friends who can support each other if systems fail.
• Have transportation contingencies: alternate routes, backup options, and awareness of choke points.
• Include pets in your planning: food, carriers, medications, and a way to move them quickly if you need to leave.
• Know nearby public locations that can serve as shelter if something happens while you’re out being libraries, schools, large retail stores, medical buildings, hotels, and religious institutions.
• Remember: your vehicle is part of your safety plan: a way to create distance, avoid danger, and if needed, it can be used as a weapon. Keep your fuel above half a tank. Position your vehicle so you are never boxed in.
• If a weapon is part of your personal security plan, it must be on you. It does no good stored elsewhere. Carry it responsibly, preferably concealed and low-profile.
• If in a responder role, consider protective equipment such as Level IV body armor and ballistic helmets. These are not tactical accessories, they are life‑saving tools that buy time, create options, and allow you to stay in the fight long enough to get yourself and others to safety.
This is the transition. Know your plan. Know your people. Know that you are ready.
Since January, we have traveled to more than a dozen states and spoken with thousands of law enforcement officers. The takeaway has been the same everywhere: this is a community problem. No single agency, no single family, no single person can carry this alone.
Readiness now has to live at the local level: in your family, in your neighborhoods, in your workplaces, in your schools, and every place where you depend on one another. The federal government isn't coming to save you. Your preparation matters not just for you, but for everyone around you. This next phase will require a community that is aware, calm, connected, and ready to act together.
It’s Time to Shift Mindsets: Every Active Shooter Is a Potential Suicide Bomber
Be wary of black puffer coats as they’re one of the easiest garments to conceal bombs inside, and Al-Qaeda has shown that repeatedly, including in their December 2023 video teasing their upcoming homeland plot.
At least 10% of the attackers in the homeland plot are expected to be suicide bombers. That means you can’t treat an active shooter as “just” an active shooter anymore. You must assume he’s also a suicide bomber because that’s exactly how they designed it.
Here are some basic SOPs for civilians and venue staff when a shooter may also be a suicide bomber:
(1) Distance is survival: If a bomber is still mobile, the blast radius is the threat. Move away and create as much distance as possible: 30–50 feet minimum, 100+ if available.
(2) Don’t rush to “help” the downed attacker: If the attacker drops, do not approach. Many vests use dead-man switches, pressure triggers, delayed chemical binaries, or can be remotely detonated by an overwatch.
(3) Also, in the same vein, don’t dogpile an attacker: limit engagement to 1–3 responders to reduce the risk of additional casualties. Focus on controlling the attacker’s hands. The most critical element in any close-quarters fight is using firm, targeted restraint techniques to prevent detonation or access to a weapon.
(4) Avoid chokepoints: Stairwells, elevators, and bottlenecks become kill zones in a blast. Keep moving toward open space and hard structure.
(5) Expect secondary devices: Al-Qaeda doctrine routinely includes follow-on blasts. Treat abandoned bags, jackets, or dropped items as potential IEDs.
(6) Clothing–behavior mismatch matters: Watch for heavy coats indoors or in warm climates, and for uneven weight distribution inside of clothing. Also, watch for attempts to evade placing items on belt scanners.
(7) Choose hard cover, not concealment: Concrete, pillars, and engine blocks save lives. Drywall and furniture do not.
(8) Communicate the right words: When calling 911, say: “Active shooter, possible suicide vest.” It triggers an immediate tactical shift in response. Law enforcement around the country has been preparing for this scenario, give them a leg up with concise reporting.
(9) Control the flow. Push crowds away from the attacker, not toward him. Prevent panic surges toward gunfire as suicide bombers seek density.
(10) After evacuation, don’t cluster. Most mass-casualty terrorist attacks anticipate crowds gathering outside. Move far and disperse; attackers often plan waves, and clustering makes you a target for a secondary strike.
(11) Bombs may contain caustic chemicals. Stay clear of the area until a full HAZMAT assessment is completed. If you feel weak, dizzy, or unwell, seek medical evaluation immediately.
As we give thanks with our families please take a moment to honor the 1st casualty in our nation’s longest war, Mike Spann.
Mike was one of the 1st men into Afghanistan immediately following 9/11 & was killed fighting terrorists & defending his teammates.
I’m thankful our nation creates patriots like Mike Spann.
We honor his legacy by continuing the fight.
@ethan1saacson@CollinRugg They have been plotting to bring the fight here so that we can feel what they felt. I pray I'm wrong but don't be surprised if there is an uptick in these attacks.. Current military and veterans are the #1 target.
@MidwestMongol@FBI@FBIOklahomaCity Right?! He'll get out at 7 years for "model behavior" and go right back to his jihadi BS. It happened with the Gitmo detainees we released, and if I was a gambler I'd bet it'll happen here 100%
