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.
I guess I interpreted him not being grandiose, but rather mocking our security. Something like "look at me, I'm a known baddie and I can cross your border with impunity and no oversight. I will do such bad things to you that you'll never forget the lesson I teach you". He might have an ego about it too (after all, it was dumb to make threats like that and blow your cover) but perhaps that stems from the fact that his only redeeming value in life is his willingness and ability to harm others. Bro probably grew up being bombed daily by US.
