The Most Alarming Thing You’ll See Today 🤯
A security expert discusses the discovery of 18,000 suspected terrorists with access to America and warns that the primary threat comes from legally and illegally present individuals who become radicalized through social media rather than traditional sleeper cells. The speaker criticizes the previous administration's policies for creating opportunities for terrorist exploitation.
Summary
The speaker, representing NCTC (National Counterterrorism Center), reveals that their organization had identified 18,000 known suspected terrorists who had access to America. Through their investigation into data from the past four years, they discovered a disturbing reality: the country has lost track of who is actually within its borders. The analysis extends beyond traditional focus areas to examine data sets of individuals who may have originated from Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, and other countries with significant Shia populations, particularly in the context of an ongoing war. The expert challenges common misconceptions about terrorist threats, arguing that the popular image of sleeper cells as small groups of specifically trained operatives waiting for activation orders is not the primary concern. Instead, they identify a more insidious and harder-to-detect threat: individuals who entered the country through both legal and illegal means who subsequently become radicalized through media consumption and social media exposure, leading them to carry out lone-wolf attacks. This type of threat is particularly challenging for security agencies to identify and prevent. The speaker cites concrete evidence of this threat materializing, referencing a specific attack in Texas where an individual killed three people and wounded several others at a bar while wearing an Iran t-shirt. The expert concludes with a sharp political critique, asserting that the previous administration's four-year tenure created extensive vulnerabilities and opportunities that terrorists could exploit to harm Americans.

[0:00] We at NCTC had identified 18,000 known suspected terrorists who had access to America. The more we dug into the data of the last four years, the more I realized we have no idea who's in our country. At the beginning of this war, we are looking at other data sets of people who could have come from either Iran or Lebanon, Iraq, countries that have large Shia populations. I think a lot of people when they hear sleeper cells, they'll think like it's a handful of guys who are specifically trained and infiltrated to conduct an attack at a certain time. I don't think that's the main threat. I think the main threat is people that have come…
