A Warning From A Sheriff About What Could Come Next

I wanted to share this with everyone. PLEASE read it through and comment.



"

From a friend in San Diego,

To all my friends - Deputy and Civilian alike: - - -

A fellow Deputy passed this on to members of our Department...I have

taken the same training that he refers to in his letter. I do agree

that schools & children are their next focus. Please read his entire

memo – I believe you will find it very interesting. The attached slide

show has some amazing photos from 911 from the air. When viewing you

On This September 11, 2009

This is an open letter from San Diego Sheriff’s Deputy to his unit. I

thought you might find it worthwhile.

On this anniversary of the attack on our nation, I ask that you reflect

on a few things. The attack killed approximately as many of our

countrymen as did the attack on Pearl Harbor. The military has

continued to prosecute the "war on terror", although with questionable

support from congress and waning interest from the American people.

Where is the outrage, the resolve, the unity of our populace?

Far more Americans can name the American Idol finalists than can name the #2 in

command of al-Qaeda. Politicians lie, waffle, or fold like a house of

cards rather than leading. However, there is one man we can trust. He

hasn't lied to us yet. Any promise he has made he is either planning

to keep, has already accomplished, or made a serious effort to do so.

We would do well to trust in what he says. To whom do I refer? The

man is Osama bin Laden.

Unlike American politicians elected by a

mindless and/or self centered electorate in little more than popularity

contests, OBL's reputation and continued power depends upon him keeping

his word. I firmly believe that he will do his utmost to continue to

keep his word.

When I've done terrorism training within the department and as an

outside contractor, I've been asked many times what does al-Qaeda have

in store for America next? I answered that no one knows that for sure,

but we would do well to examine what they have done elsewhere and what

they have said they will do. Both points have been strong indicators

of their intentions. With that in mind, I suggest they have at least

one course of action in the planning stages. Al-Qaeda knows that

children are near and dear to the American psyche.

Consider the following points, overlooked or minimized by the mainstream media:



Videotapes confiscated in Afghanistan showing al-Qaeda terrorists

training to takeover a school.

*



An Iraqi national with known terrorist connections caught with a

computer disk containing information detailing Department of

Education crisis planning for U.S school districts.

*


Two Saudi men - one wearing a black trench coat despite the Florida

heat -- terrifying a busload of Tampa schoolchildren by boarding a

school bus and remaining for the entire ride to school, all the while

laughing and speaking Arabic.

*



A March FBI/DHS bulletin noting "recent suspicious activity" by

foreigners who drive school buses, are licensed to drive them, or have

actually managed to purchase them right here at home.

*



(the next few are VERY scary - BlackbootJack)

*


Members of "unnamed extremist groups" (al-Qaeda affiliates) who have

obtained commercial drivers licenses with school bus endorsements.

*



Osama bin Laden's promise that the 2004 terrorist attack at Beslan will

happen many times over in the United States.

*


Al-Qaeda spokesman Suleiman Abu Gheith‘s declaration of al-Qaeda's "right" to kill 2 million American children.

*


Most Americans have a short attention span, which is only exacerbated

by the media. An event that happened eight years ago is nearly ancient

history to them. However, the radical Islamists never forget and they

work on a timeline of centuries. When Saladin captured Jerusalem in

1187 it was the culmination of a struggle that had its root in the 7th

century. Whether it is al-Qaeda, the Taliban, Jemaah Islamiya,

Al-Shabaab, or any other of their ilk, their goal is the death of the

West and the reinstatement of the Islamic caliphate - worldwide rule.

When I heard the Colonel give a presentation on the terrorist threat to

America's school children, he quoted a Marine headed to Afghanistan who

responded as to what cops could do for him. He said. "I've got your

12, you watch my six. Do your job." He asked us to keep his kids and

his family safe. This may raise the question, "But I'm only one cop.

What can I do?" It was one off duty cop that pinned down the active

shooter in the Utah mall until he could be neutralized. It was one

security officer that stopped the shooter at the El Al terminal at LAX.

It was one border officer that interdicted Ahmed Ressam at Port

Angeles, Washington on his way to bomb LAX.

If you do not mentally rehearse crisis response, if you do not remain

aware of your surroundings in all situations, if you do not stay

proficient with the weapons you have been entrusted to use, then you

are not fully doing your job. I encourage you to rethink and change

that. Never forget September 11. Honor our fellow Americans who died

and our troops who continue the fight. Honor them by being ready to

protect their children and families. Honor them by watching their six.

If or when you are faced with the need to act, who knows but that you

were born to such a time as this.

Signed,

A fellow member of the San Diego Sheriff’s Department Team





Team:

Just another side note:

American Law protects ANYONE from a lawsuit if that person reports suspicious activity in the public.

In other words....if you report suspicious actvity, you are free from those under suspicion placing a law suit on you. - BBJ
