Kurt Schlicter (retired Army Colonel and partnered lawyer) was inspired to story board, write, publish, and release "The Attack" just three months after October 7. Kurt had close ties to Andrew Breitbart and claims to have written the book based on Intel and "authenticity" checks from those in the Intel community. The book lays out a widespread but incredibly feasible plan to kill lots of Americans and destroy our morale using small teams of men who don't know about each other, have no need to coordinate or communicate (thus can't be tracked), and will carry out their attack at a designated time. The attacks occur over three days (Aug 27-29). Day 1 is attacks on public places making people retreat into their homes. Day 2 is attacking and mass murdering people in their homes so that Americans don't feel safe anywhere and panic. Day 3 is attacks on critical infrastructure to cause lasting damage and affect our ability to wage war. The book release seems a little too convenient to pass muster with me and I think it's worth discussing.
Again, I hope this doesn't happen but this book seems too conveniently timed and detailed to be coincidence. Even, without taking the book into conversation, I can't escape the feeling that something is going to happen. Our enemies may sense that our governments perceived weakness may end with a trump presidency, so striking now is ideal and there is only limited time to strike. Also, 9/11 is around the corner.
Yes and no. If you take critical infrastructure first, then your message of terror can't get out for the desired effect. They need our airwaves and comms up and running to spread the fear. If you think about it, what these groups are doing is extremely clever from an OPSEC perspective. They've come over in large numbers, spread out over time and consisting of small cells. They all have simple instructions ( kill as many as possible or target infrastructure at a certain location), have no need to coordinate or communicate with any other cell (so they can't be traced, tracked, or monitored) , they plan to die (so evac and Intel security isn't critical), and they have a simple means of "activating" based on some extremely crude "go code", which is probably just a date and time to begin operations. They have had four years to cross anonymously using shelter, cash, and transport provided by our own government and foreign ngos. Using cash they either brought or took from the govt or ngos, they have armed and waited, doing basic recon of their objectives. This is such a terrifying and real scenario, that even trump came out and said "there is a 100% chance of a major terrorist attack or attacks". I dunno about anyone else, but I'm leaving the city and plan to telework around 9/11.
