Before Shooting, Calif. Killer Talked On Phone With Terrifying Person… And Obama’s FBI Knew It
Law enforcement officials told CNN on Thursday that Farook had been in touch with individuals under investigation by the FBI for ties to international terrorism.
Nice to see that NSA spying program has proven so effective.
Officials told CNN that Farook’s “apparent radicalization contributed” to his decision to murder 14 people during a holiday party for his employer, the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health. He and his wife also wounded an additional 21 party-goers.
Obama declared on Thursday that the killers could have had “mixed motives,” desperately attempting to keep any blame for the carnage from falling on Muslims or Islam. CNN was only too glad to help.
“Still, it (Farook’s radicalization) wasn’t necessarily the only driver behind the carnage, as workplace grievances may have also played a role,” CNN reported.
If you can call that “reporting.”
Farook took part in the Hajj, a pilgrimage to Mecca that Islamic law requires all able-bodied Muslims to make at least once during their lifetimes, in 2013. He reportedly met Malik during that trip and brought her back to the United States on a “fiancée visa.”
Neither Farook nor Malik had had any run-ins with law enforcement prior to Wednesday’s shootings, CNN said. Both died in a violent shootout with police.
Nonetheless, Farook had spoken by telephone and over social media with “more than one” individual currently under investigation for terrorism by the FBI, and was know to have “overseas communications and associations,” one official reportedly said.
Of those connections, however, the official told CNN: “We don’t know yet what they mean.”
I’m pretty sure I know exactly what they mean. And if this sort of deductive reasoning is what we can expect from the government officials charged by Barack Obama with investigating radical Islamic terror in the United States, we’re in a lot of trouble.
Obama can pretend all day long that these two pipe bomb manufacturing individuals were disgruntled employees, but the rest of America knows the truth.
