I wish I was talking about fresh produce but in this case I am referring to those idiots that carry out those terror attacks….
I am still lecturing on terrorism and the class is going well……sadly this has slid from the headlines because of the antics of these silly elections…..but as usual I am not easily diverted from my subject by gossip or stupidity……
We all are well aware of the recent attacks in California Florida, New York and New Jersey…as well as the ones that proceeded them….but regardless of what the minions of hate would have you believe these attacks were basically “lone wolf” attacks……meaning that they were perpetrated by individuals not groups……
There has been some evidence that the actions this country takes internationally may have some influence of these attacks…..
A study done by the FBI has the finger on the phenom……
A secret FBI study found that anger over U.S. military operations abroad was the most commonly cited motivation for individuals involved in cases of “homegrown” terrorism. The report also identified no coherent pattern to “radicalization,” concluding that it remained near impossible to predict future violent acts.
The study, reviewed by The Intercept, was conducted in 2012 by a unit in the FBI’s counterterrorism division and surveyed intelligence analysts and FBI special agents across the United States who were responsible for nearly 200 cases, both open and closed, involving “homegrown violent extremists.” The survey responses reinforced the FBI’s conclusion that such individuals “frequently believe the U.S. military is committing atrocities in Muslim countries, thereby justifying their violent aspirations.”

This is a post that some will not be willing to read or even try to understand…..regardless who pouts and bitches will not change the findings……”lone wolves” are just that alone.

It is impossible to predict an Act of Insanity. Studying any of them after that fact is just a job well wasted. Time for all Agencies to get Intelligent (Federal, or otherwise).
A lone wolf is virtually impossible to predict….intel would require massive rights violations…
