FORT HOOD SHOOTER USED SLIDESHOW TO TELEGRAPH ACTIONS

Nineteen Jihadist hijackers killed 3000 people on 9/11. One Jihadist killed 14 people on 11/5 (yes, I count the baby being carried in the womb of one of the dead as a murdered human being). Before I get to how clearly Nidal Malik Hasan appears to have telegraphed his actions with a 50 page powerpoint presentation, let's go back less than one decade.

The 9/11 commission determined that there were breakdowns within our government which, had they not occurred, could have prevented the Islamic terror attacks that brought down the World Trade Center and killed nearly 3000 people. The title of Chapter 8 in the 9/11 Commission Report is in quotes. It says, "THE SYSTEM WAS BLINKING RED".

Quoting from page 265 of that report, also in chapter 8:

In sum, the domestic agencies never mobilized in response to the threat. They did not have direction, and did not have a plan to institute. The borders were not hardened. Transportation systems were not fortified. Electronic surveillance was not targeted against a domestic threat. State and local law enforcement were not marshaled to augment the FBI's efforts. The public was not warned.

The terrorists exploited deep institutional failings within our government.....

The last sentence there pretty much says it all when you look at the case of Nidal Malik Hasan, which brings me to the slideshow he presented. Barry Rubin does a thorough analysis of it:

Hassan is the first terrorist in history to give an academic lecture explaining why he was about to attack. Yet that still isn’t enough for too many people—including the president of the United States--to understand that the murderous assault at Fort Hood was a Jihad attack.

It was reported that the audience was shocked and frightened by his lecture. He was supposed to speak on some medical topic yet instead talked on the topic: “The Koranic World View as it Relates to Muslims in the U.S. Military.” All you have to do is look at the 50 Power Point slides and they tell you everything you need to know.

Be sure to read Rubin's breakdown. Here's the WHOLE THING. To view all 50 slides from Hasan's presentation, CLICK HERE.

We are not even two weeks removed from the Fort Hood massacre and it is looking more and more like the red flags that were missed in this case make the red flags missed in the months before 9/11 look pink. Yet, the Chief of Staff of the entire U.S. Army is more concerned that diversity is protected and the president of the United States wants Congress to delay an investigation.
