But what are the sources of the dangers headed our way?  Why is 2025 becoming more and more prominent as an inception date for an attack?  Here are the reasons why the next year is ripe for a large scale event…

Open Borders Lead To Threat Saturation

“Homeland Security” is a misnomer; the head of DHS, Alejandro Mayorkas, openly admitted to a room full of border patrol agents this year that over 85% of illegal immigrants apprehended at the southern border are released into the country.  Mayorkas originally claimed the release rate was 70% in an interview with FOX News, only to raise that number to 85% when agents pressed him during the private meeting.

Reports indicate that at least 400,000 known criminals have crossed the border illegally during Joe Biden’s presidency, and 13,000 of those immigrants were convicted murderers.  What we don’t know, however, is how many terror suspects and foreign agents have also entered the US in the past four years.

The DHS releases limited data.  Migrants that get a hit on the terror watch list are held and cataloged, of course, but with wide open borders and the White House running interference there’s no way to know how many slipped through.

The political left argues that “no terror attacks have happened on Biden’s watch”, but these are the same people that originally denied the existence of Venezuelan gangs currently taking over apartment complexes in multiple cities across the country.

The saturation of illegal migration will inevitably lead to a terror event in America, it’s only a matter of time.  It may not happen on Biden or Kamala Harris’ watch, but they will have been the catalyst that made such attacks possible.

Geopolitical Tensions And Open Borders Don’t Mix

I believe an attack is inevitable in 2025 even with Donald Trump in the Oval Office, primarily because of the geopolitical brush fires being ignited across the globe right now.  There is also always the looming danger of false flag events designed by covert actors trying to trick the public into placing blame on the wrong culprit.

The war in Ukraine and the expanding wars in the Middle East involving Israel are both dependent on US support and possibly future military involvement on the ground.  It’s fair to say that without US involvement, both of these wars would end rather quickly.  One can debate the ethical necessity of America engaging in proxy conflicts or the need for the US to protect certain allies and assets, but a lot of foreign elements view the US as the root cause of their pain.

They also know the easiest way to attack the US is through the doorway that the current establishment has left wide open on the southern border.

The US has been hit with a mass immigration storm while also embroiled in at least two regional proxy wars that have the potential to expand into world wars.  Why wouldn’t Russia, China, or multiple nations in the Middle East use that weakness to their advantage?  People that want the US to send troops to Ukraine or Israel could also perpetrate an attack that falsely leads back to Russia or Iran.

I continue to argue that America has no reason to be involved in the majority of foreign entanglements and that we should stay out of these conflicts entirely.  But we are where we are, the dominoes have already been set in motion and guess where that leaves us?

Conservatives Inherit Disaster While Leftists Go Weather Underground

Think about it, Republicans inherit all the messes that Joe Biden and his handlers created – Economic, political, social, and geopolitical.  There will also be considerable motivation for establishment elites to create chaos from thin air while conservatives hold governmental power, and this presents a third domestic threat which will definitely arise in the wake of a Trump presidency:  Leftist activists.

The goal of the progressive establishment when it comes to attacking conservatives is to create so much instability and fear that conservatives feel compelled to set aside their principles and the Constitution in order to restore order.  In this way the left hopes to “prove” that conservatives are the “fascists” they often accuse us of being.

For the past several years conservatives have also been labeled “domestic terrorists” bent on civil war, but it’s actually the progressive left that engages in the majority of civil unrest and violence in the name of political expediency.

The first time leftists were enraged by a political loss and took to the streets to riot, most conservatives and even the Trump administration erred on the side of constitutional flexibility.  The problem is, leftists have a habit of exploiting free speech rights as a springboard for mob intimidation.  Also, most of the riots took place in Democrat controlled states and cities where local officials defended the violence and tried to block any intervention.

The political left believes that mob violence and looting is a form of free speech and “reparations” for perceived injustices.  They feel completely justified in their behavior and that makes them exceedingly dangerous.  If you see the mass burning of random neighborhoods as an “ends justify the means” situation, then you can probably convince yourself that any crime is acceptable.

This trend of terrorism as activism is likely to evolve beyond simple mobs in the next round.  In other words, under a new Trump Administration we should expect smaller Weather Underground-like groups among progressive activists; groups that will engage in terror attacks.  The two assassination attempts against Trump this year support this hypothesis.

To summarize, there are four distinct instigators of political violence all active going into 2025:

  • Organized criminal gangs crossing the border as migrants.
  • Foreign agents and terrorists slipping into the US using mass immigration as a cover.
  • Leftist activists radicalized to believe they are righteous in their violence.
  • Establishment elites and covert agencies creating false flag events.

The types of attacks we face comprise a wide spectrum and I fear that conservatives may very well throw support behind a martial law scenario should the situation break out the way I think it will.  Infrastructure attacks would be the most devastating (and would not require a high level of effort or sophistication); a lot of people may see military intervention as the best option.

I would argue that this is exactly what the establishment wants.  They want the liberty movement to abandon our foundations in the name of security – They want us to take shortcuts that lead us down an authoritarian path.  If we are to increase the safety of the American populace it’s going to take years of work to fix the mess that progressives have left behind.  No shortcuts.

We’ll have to close the borders tight (the one place where a national guard presence makes sense).  We’ll have to deport millions of illegal migrants already in the country.  We’ll have to reduce our presence in global proxy wars.  We’ll have to secure communities through localized efforts.

Most importantly, should violence break out, community participation in defense is paramount.  The locals need to be prepared for grid down, for rioting, for random attacks.  It’s the general public that needs to be ready.  Regular civilians are the people that will be there when disaster strikes and they must be empower to take action.

When a terror attack takes minutes to achieve, regular people who are there when it happens have seconds to respond.  Until we can repair the damage done to our national security over the past four years, the public is the first and most important line of defense.

Over 250 Hezbollah Terrorists Reportedly Killed Since Beginning of IDF Ground Incursion in Lebanon https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/over-250-hezbollah-terrorists-reportedly-killed-since-beginning-of-idf-ground-incursion-in-lebanon/ https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/over-250-hezbollah-terrorists-reportedly-killed-since-beginning-of-idf-ground-incursion-in-lebanon/#respond Sat, 05 Oct 2024 13:40:11 +0000 https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/over-250-hezbollah-terrorists-reportedly-killed-since-beginning-of-idf-ground-incursion-in-lebanon/ (All Israel News)—Israel Defense Forces announced on Friday that it eliminated more than 250 Hezbollah terrorists since the beginning of the Israeli ground offensive in southern Lebanon earlier this week. Among those killed were five brigade-level commanders, 10 company commanders, six platoon commanders and 21 field commanders, according to the IDF.

An updated assessment suggested that as many as 400 Hezbollah terrorists have been killed by IDF troops in recent days.

During one clash on Thursday, Israeli forces eliminated 15 Hezbollah terrorists, while one IDF soldier was wounded in the battle. Overall, nine Israeli soldiers have been killed since the fighting began with Hezbollah terrorists in southern Lebanon. Like the Hamas terrorist organization, Hezbollah has deliberately embedded itself in civilian structures, including schools, mosques, hospitals and residential buildings, which constitutes a war crime under international law.

The IDF’s 98th and 36th Divisions are currently engaging Hezbollah terrorists in numerous villages and towns in southern Lebanon. In addition, troops have uncovered large caches of weapons left behind by Hezbollah forces.

The IDF announced it is conducting “limited, localized, and targeted raids.” The overall goal of the IDF ground offensive is to neutralize the Hezbollah threat close to the Israeli border and enable the return of some 60,000 evacuated Israelis to their homes in northern Israel after one year.

On Friday, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that Israel has “more surprises in store” and stressed that the IDF had already delivered severe blows to Hezbollah.

“Hezbollah is receiving very severe blows, one after the other. We eliminated [Hezbollah chief Hassan] Nasrallah and we have more surprises in store, some of which have already been carried out and some of which will be carried out,” Gallant stated during his visit to the 36th Division headquarters in northern Israel.

“[Hezbollah’s] missile and rocket division suffered a very heavy blow. A significant part was destroyed as a result of a high-quality and precise operation. Command and control headquarters, communications, the entire leadership of [the elite Radwan Force], and in fact, the entire second and third tiers of command below Nasrallah were eliminated,” the defense minister added.

Gallant also said the Israeli military was currently “carrying out an operation today in several villages, and this process will continue wherever necessary to destroy all the infrastructure from which Hezbollah planned to carry out attacks.”

Since launching an unprovoked attack on Israel on Oct. 8, 2023, Iranian-backed Hezbollah forces in Lebanon have fired over 9,000 rockets, missiles and exploding drones into the Jewish state.

Dozens of Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers have been killed and Israel has responded by stepping up its attacks on Hezbollah forces assets across Lebanon and in neighboring Syria since last week.

In recent weeks, the IDF has eliminated most of Hezbollah’s top leadership, including Sec.-Gen. Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed last Friday in a massive Israeli aerial strike on Hezbollah’s headquarters in the Lebanese capital of Beirut.

The Israeli military has stressed that the current ground offensive in southern Lebanon is limited in scope, and it seeks to wrap up the intensive phase of the operation within a few weeks.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military announced on Friday that it had eliminated Muhammad Rashid Sakafi, a senior Hezbollah operatively, in an aerial strike in Beirut. Sakafi was the head of the terror group’s communications division.

“Sakafi invested significant efforts to develop communication capabilities between all of Hezbollah’s units in all periods of operation, to maintain the flow of information throughout the terrorist organization,” the IDF stated.
