According to sources familiar with the matter, the White House is preventing major U.S. intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about the growing threats to the nation linked to the war with Iran.

The FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center were preparing to release a joint statement to state and local authorities on Friday, warning them about potential dangers stemming from the conflict in the Middle East.

    Huh, ask yourself this…

    Why would the White House not want to warn local law enforcement about potential Iranian attacks on US citizens?

      The reason the dhs was created was to prevent this.

      It was created right after 9/11.

      When certain agencies had specific information they didn’t share.

      The PATRIOT act was ready in the waiting.

      History doesn’t repeat but it rhymes with orange.

      To take advantage of domestic incidents to justify building up ICE and other lockdown/surveillance methods in preparation of a takeover in two years?

      Just tin-foiling here.

        they don’t need to though they can literally just do it. Now if this happened a few months to a year ago, yes I could see them doing this in order to justify something else but now they don’t care because they’ve seen that the american people will let it happen, they’ve seen that no one is going to enforce any court orders or rulings, they’ve seen democrats are all talk and no action and that’s why they’ve become more bold and lying horribly if at all recently. They now know they can get away with it.

        So they don’t need to have anything happen to justify the build up of anything. they an literally just do it and americans will say “thank you daddy.”

    That is because Israel will bomb a major us city as a false flag and us will blame it on Iran, call for war, suspend elections

    Kash Patel also fired the FBI agents working on Iranian threats inside the US. They want an attack to happen. Then use it to cancel elections

    Because right now that would be bad PR, even though the regime has previously claimed there are Iranian sleeper cells all over the US ready to attack
