And that Eric Prince line is going to probably start a lot of rumors.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Sure. I'm going to have to go back in time just a little bit. So if we go back to November 2021, that is the time basically the planning started for the Syrian blitzkrieg. How it all came together, actually, is one of our Benghazi plotters, the one I talk about all the time, Musa bin Ali, him and Abu Muhammad al-Jalani, the current president of Syria, were running a lot of...
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Well, I think one of the things too, we focus on like the immigration coming into a country, which we could flip something politically, but it's not the immigration. It's first off corruption in countries. There's a lot of corruption in Europe. And what happens with that corruption is people take advantage of it.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Obviously, the one group that's taken the most advantage of it is the Muslim Brotherhood, right? I mean, that's why Switzerland is the number one country in in Europe with terrorists in it, especially high-level terrorists, is because of the Muslim Brotherhood influence. Also, Qatar has a lot of influence and money in Europe, and they're a big piece of this.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
terror line facilitation networks in the Syria. They've been doing this for well over a decade. They run a really big terrorist camp in Libya, south of Misrata. And so they got together and basically decided, let's, you know, pull in al Qaeda and the Taliban, you know, let's do in Syria what happened in Afghanistan, right?
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Turkey obviously can't seem to choose sides, and they do a lot of enabling for different terrorist groups, especially ISIS, right, and allow all these terrorists to flow through their borders. They provide them passports, et cetera. So if you don't deal with the Muslim Brotherhood, ban them,
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
the influence of Qatar, and then you allow Turkey to stay in NATO with their actions, and they have a big play in Syria, then that's the problem, right? They're the ones causing the influence, putting the money into politics, and making those shifts. So I think we need to be honest about them because that happens here too.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Qatar has a huge influence in our universities, and we saw that kind of play out, right, with so much support of Hamas, right? The Muslim Brotherhood, we can't even get them. So the Muslim Brotherhood is banned in multiple countries, right? Like Saudi Arabia, like the Emirates. We can't ban them in the United States because they give so much money to both political parties, right? That's scary.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
So we need to deal with kind of the heads of the snake here.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
So it was November of 2021 when Abu Jilani came to Afghanistan and he sat down with Musa Sirajuddin Haqqani, who is the Minister of Interior of Afghanistan, and Mullah Yacoub, who is the Minister of Defense of Afghanistan, right? And they came up with this plot and planning to do the Syrian blitzkrieg. So as you can imagine, Julani didn't have enough fighters to take all of Syria by himself.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
So the plan they came up with is the Taliban said, okay, we'll give you training camps in Nangarhar province, right? You can come here and safely train because at the time, Julani's camps were outside of Al-Tanf military base in Syria and they were being bombed. and they couldn't safely train there. So they moved a lot of their training to Afghanistan, but it wasn't enough.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
So Al-Qaeda, and specifically Hamza bin Laden, said, hey, we'll train a certain number of fighters for you. What do you need? And Joulani said, I need 10,000 fighters. So for those couple years, Al-Qaeda then trained an additional 10,000 fighters inside of Afghanistan on top of what Joulani was sending, okay? So then they all go to Syria, and as we saw two years later...
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Three years later, November 2024, the Syrian Blitzkrieg happened and Joulani took over. Now, when Joulani took over, oddly, the press and the American diplomats and we saw the EU and the UN all leaned in and they're like, oh, this is bringing democracy to Syria. Oh, he's going to have an inclusive government. Same language we heard in Afghanistan.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
They have communication. They are bringing intelligence, but it's from the Taliban. So we lost 98 to 99% of our collection, our assets we developed over 20 years. We're now bringing in reporting, but it's from the Taliban. The Taliban is now the source of the U.S. government and the source of counterterrorism information in Afghanistan.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Yes. So that's who we get intelligence from and from Shiraz Shadeen Haqqani.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Well, the intention is to make Syria just like Afghanistan, to make it an Islamic caliphate. So... Jalani plans to ethnically cleanse the Christians, the Alawites, the Kurds, etc., because that is the plan to bring in the Islamic Caliphate, just like the Taliban has been ethnically cleansing, you know, obviously people from Panjshir, etc.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Yeah, I mean, even our State Department basically went to the government of Tajikistan, right, the leadership and the intelligence leadership and said, don't have relationships with the resistance or it's going to affect your relationship with the U.S. government. Like, that's at the level it's at. And, you know, we need to be honest. We have Taliban sympathizers in our government, right? Yeah.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
We have them in the State Department. You know, we likely have them in the NSC. We definitely have them in the CIA, right? This is a problem unless we root them out. It's just like when you had communists in the government, which we still do, right? When you have these influences in the government, they're the ones making these deals.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
They're the ones making sure the money keeps going to the Taliban and to the terrorists. And so you're up against those types as well. And it is a lot of money involved in this. There's corruption involved in supporting terrorism as well.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And the crazy part, Thomas West, they've moved him to another role in the State Department, but what he's in charge of is sanctions, right? So we got now a Taliban sympathizer in charge of sanctions. So how often do you think he's sanctioning the Taliban?
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
The Hazaras in Afghanistan, it's the exact same playbook, the exact same model, and a lot of the exact same people. So if we're not honest about the roots of how Jalani took Syria, then we're not going to be able to understand what's going on. But to understand what's going on makes perfect sense.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Well, you know, Legend kind of brought up a bit, right? He talked a little bit about Sirajuddin Haqqani and ISKP. I think what a lot of people don't understand is how al-Qaeda fits into that and why it matters, right? So al-Qaeda is planning an attack on the U.S. homeland, but who are they using, right, to be involved in that attack? Siraj Hadeen Haqqani, right?
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
He's the Minister of Interior in Afghanistan. He allows basically the terrorists to come into Afghanistan. His now kind of like cousin runs the refugee services, right? So his name is Hafiz Haqqani. He was involved in Abbey Gate. He's also involved in the U.S. Homeland Plot.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
He's the one that basically takes our humanitarian dollars and gives it to the foreign jihadists saying, oh, they're refugees coming back into the country, et cetera, right? So there's a whole pipeline of our money going into these foreign fighters enabled by the Haqqanis, okay? Then we have the whole ISKP problem, right? So our counterterrorism dollars goes to the Taliban to fight ISKP.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
It's a huge farce. We did a whole last month. We did nine days on Twitter just showing operations. The Taliban said they did against ISKP and they weren't right. There is a joint training camp. You know, we dropped the big the big mother of all bombs. There is a joint training camp there. It's named after Siraj Hadin's father, the Jalal ad-Din Haqqani Training Center.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
It has Al-Qaeda terrorists there, ISKP terrorists there, and Haqqani Network terrorists there, right? So when we talk about Al-Qaeda's homeland plot, they're using the Haqqani's territory. to leverage in the plot. They're using ISIS to leverage in the plot. And then of course, Al-Qaeda is leading the plot.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
I don't really know the number of Christians because they've also hit these Alawite neighborhoods. What is that?
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Like think of how dangerous this is when he says there's a thousand just under the bucket of ISKP and the Haqqanis, right? Then we talk about all the groups Al-Qaeda is aligned with. How many of those are in the country? Because Al-Qaeda is saying that's another thousand, right? So these numbers start to get really big when you bring all these groups under one umbrella to fight a common enemy.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
us, right? We impacted them. We impacted them in Afghanistan. We impacted them in Iraq and we impacted them in Syria, which is kind of the most recent open wound, right? And so they want our war fighters who did that in those countries to feel it here. They want you to feel it in your neighborhood, at your home. They don't want you to feel safe where you live now.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And that's something we really need to understand and listen to, right? Because I do think, as Scott said, Israel had a little hubris, right? There were reports going in. Israel got information. I saw some of the stuff passed to Israel about the Hamas guys training in Afghanistan. And, you know, they did have some belief something's going to happen.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
They never thought it was going to be the scale it was. Now the U.S. government is getting the same type of information. Israel is getting probably a lot more information. And they're now like, oh, that's not going to happen here at that level, right? We're not going to see that happen here.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
It was just another minority in the country. We mostly know the Kurds because we fought with the Kurds and they're going to move on, obviously, and do the Kurds. So the reporting come under Syria, as you can imagine, is very limited, right? Because the government like... Afghanistan is now run by terrorists, right? So we're maybe seeing 10% of the numbers.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And that's very, very dangerous, especially when we're talking about just the numbers that came in illegally. But remember, our State Department has been issuing passports and visas to Haqqani Network, guys. Plenty of former CIA officers have provided tips to the government over the last four years. They haven't. picked them up. They live in our communities. They know Haqqanis are here, right?
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
So that's not just the terrorists who came here under fake IDs and are undercover, right? So to understand just how many are in our country is really scary. And yes, we're starting to close the border, but we now need to go back and revet everybody we went in the last four years. And I've heard no discussions about that happening yet, but that needs to happen. And I
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Yeah.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And crossed the border, especially.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
It was 14 million people. So we're not doing it. And what I was saying to an intel agency just a week ago, I said, we need to be running against this threat. Like this needs to be fast forward. The toughest thing we ever did. We need to basically take almost like it's a crisis. Right. And, you know, you take a bunch of people and you throw them at the hurricane to help. Right. We need to pull in.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
I don't care if it's retired people. We need to put. 10,000 people revetting all these. I'm serious. We're at that point. We let too many people in this country that we don't even know who's here. We're not picking up and deporting fast enough. And Trump says that himself. He understands the magnitude of when you're talking 14 million.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
But I don't think people are understanding there's a chunk in that that are the terrorists. And we have to go just as fast at the terrorists as we're doing against Venezuelan gangs. This is super important.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Well, they're moving fast enough, right, on Venezuelan gangs, but who's doing the vetting to identify the terrorists? Right? That's not Tom Holman's job. Right? He needs that from the intelligence community. Like, you know, the FBI needs to be stepping up and doing that. DHS needs to be playing a role, right?
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Like, we need to see, honestly, probably some sort of task force come together to do that.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
So we're hearing like in the thousands, but we just honestly don't know the number. And even all the years there was a Syrian civil war, it was so hard to get the numbers of people being killed. Like during the Syrian civil war, when Assad was basically killing his own people, he's also a bad guy, right? You don't want Assad in the country. You don't want Jalani in the country. What the
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
No, they'll say we have no record on him.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Well, we left the hide behind, so Taliban has the hide systems.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
We have the old data of the system, so we have access.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Well – Some files were lost from it. We have some, but we don't have the full set. I don't want to say what's missing because I don't want the Taliban to know, but we don't have 100%.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Yes, but it's not complete. Even dated isn't complete.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
500,000 Syrians died, right? Like, we ignored all this. Our press didn't put it out, and now they act like they're caring about something when these atrocities have been going on for a long time in Syria. Now it's just a terrorist doing them, right? A terrorist, though, that U.S. government now has an official relationship with, they share intelligence with him, and the U.S.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And the worst part is, right, they're issuing these passports to terrorists. And that's not just words. I have seen Algerians' faces on Afghan passports. I've obviously seen Libyan faces on Afghan passports. Syrian faces on Afghan passports. We're also not treating these passports as compromise, which is insane, right? So they don't even act like...
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
the Afghan passports compromise, even though any terrorist can travel to Afghanistan and get their name changed and their face put on one of these passports.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Department of Defense has, for the last month, been taking out Joulani's rivals. So we've been consolidating power power for this terrorist who's now ethnically cleansing in this country.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Yeah. And there's one other piece a lot of people don't talk about is the fact that the U.S. government, let's say if it's a CIA, the State Department, doesn't really matter. That official relationship is with the Taliban. Right. So if you're a volunteer and you're talking to a former CIA source. and he's giving you valid information, you're trying to pass that to the U.S.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
government, they want his identity to then give to the Taliban, right? He ends up dead. So there isn't even a safe way for our former sources to get information to the U.S. government due to the compromised relationship with the Taliban, particularly with Sirajuddin Haqqani.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Right, but we actually did, like the third week of January, we did a really good deep dive into the money coming in that week. And that week, the third week of January, was $105 million U.S. dollars.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
wow that week so so i even think saying 87 is low at this point and that doesn't count the money we also ship to cutter because remember we also fund the taliban's office in doha and that's 10 million more a month so so even the money we talk about that comes on the airplane is not all of it and that's another thing our government needs to be honest about there are a lot of pockets of money going to the taliban wow we're i mean
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Yes, you did. And Elon Musk has now repeated it too. So, I mean, and that's all came out of this show.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Yeah, sure. And I mean, I bet legend could do a much better job of explaining like the history. But over time, there's basically five Islamic caliphates. The last one, I believe, ended like the 1940s, right when the Ottoman Empire fell. So the terrorists want to recreate and reinvent the caliphate.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
The person actually leading this is Hamza bin Laden because his father said, I don't care if it takes 100 years, right? We're going to reestablish the caliphate. Well, Hamza's like, I'm going to do it in my lifetime to honor my father. So he's been, as you can imagine, connecting with a lot of the groups, Sunni, Shia. It doesn't matter.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Bring it for a vote. Hashtag it.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Yeah, but really, you know, at least the last month or two, my main focus has been helping communities, right? That's why we're here also briefing your community because it's more than a duty to warn, right? We want to get Americans prepared. If nothing comes down from the federal government, we don't care.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
As long as you are aware and you know and you're preparing your community, that's what we need to be doing right now.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Yep. So we're on the prepare piece.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And saying, we got to do this as a team and we have to work together. So basically, the first country in the caliphate is Iran, even though that was came in a long time ago. So they view that as already in the caliphate. So now in this present generation, Afghanistan's one, Syria's two, and then their next move looks like, I thought it was going to be Mali, but now it looks like Somalia first.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
So they're going to try to either drop, get Mali or Somalia next to be the next country that falls to the terrace and becomes a piece of this caliphate. And then over time, they just want to keep, they Burkina Faso, Libya, right? So they have a plan over time to keep doing what they think they did in Afghanistan and what they definitely did in Syria.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Well, not exactly, because so even if you dismantle USAID, they move key programs then to the State Department and it's managed and run by the State Department. So unless the State Department is told to stop funding the Taliban, that money will not stop. Doge will not stop that money because now it's under the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. And again, that's going to take congressional action.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Doge is not going to stop this money we're talking about.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
The other stuff is more like small grants and stuff.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Well, no, but I know, but this is a systematic deal set into place that Congress has to demand, and that's why Burchett's doing it. Congress has to stop this money.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Period. I mean, you know, maybe they'll stop. There's a few little projects. USID has this hemp project in Afghanistan. Stopping that would be great, and hopefully Doge finds that one, et cetera. But it's not going to... Curb this. And then, you know, then we have the counterterrorism dollars, which I'll explain when he finishes the humanitarian dollars, because that's a whole nother pocket.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Correct. Well, the interesting part is they tried to get. So the sad part is when Giuliani took over, he did kind of one of those. You've got to turn your weapons in. You've got to register. Sadly, a lot of the Christians and all the whites turned the weapons in. Right. The West was pushing this. The Kurds are like, we're not giving up our weapons. A lot of people even think tanks in the U.S.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
That was the Department of Defense that did the $60 million. That wasn't even USAID.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
So the Department of Defense is also giving the Taliban money that nobody discusses. But like he said, last year, they said they gave $60 million for women's education when women can't go to school.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
So we don't just have a problem with USID. We don't just have a problem with State Department. We have a problem with the money the Department of Defense is giving to the Taliban. We have a problem with money CIA is giving to the Taliban. And we have to be honest about all these pockets of money because you can't stop them if you don't discuss all of them.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Now, when we take it a step further, like I told you, some of the humanitarian dollars goes to these foreign fighters. But the counterterrorism dollars come in as U.S. cash, and they go all over the place. And we've discussed it before. But they go into a number of these plots to include the homeland plot.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And then they do shady stuff like Legend said, they bring it through the ZZ Bank and there's a lot of money laundering to support the plot in the United States. But the money also goes to other plots against Americans, just not in the United States. So some of them go, they have multiple embassy plots that we've talked about previously.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
So they'll take physical US dollars cash from Afghanistan, bring it to Africa. So they're funding two plots right now with US dollars against US embassies In Africa, it's against our U.S. embassy in Bamako and Mali. And then the biggest concern right now is some plotting against the U.S.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
embassy and our personnel in Mogadishu, Somalia, because that's one of the next pushes of the caliphate plan is to push the U.S. government out of Somalia and Somalia fall to Mali. Al-Shabaab or ISIS, but it's really part of Al-Qaeda's caliphate plan, just like Syria was.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
So we are actually funding with these dollars we send to fight ISIS plots against us in Africa of all places besides here in the homeland. I mean, it's insane that we're funding these... incidents that are going to kill Americans. Because think of how that's going to come back, right? We have some Americans die. Let's say Mogadishu, we have a bombing go off in Virginia.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And then when you track the money down, the money came from the US government. Think of how Americans are going to handle this. And that's what the terrorists want. They want you to blame your government. And that's why Congress needs to act immediately because they're complicit. Every day they allow it, they're going to be complicit.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
government is like Kurds turning your weapons, be a part of this new regime. this new democracy, this new inclusive government. So the Kurds luckily didn't. The Kurds are still being attacked, you know, by the Turkish government. So it's not like there's nothing going on there.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
But of course, it's going to end up being some sort of larger war because the Kurds are not going to obviously give their weapons over to terrorists.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Well, I at least know when they planned the Syrian blitzkrieg, there's basically two key parts of it, right? So they planned it because the U.S. is about to pull out. It was even going to try to push them out faster, right? But also, a part of the planning... So there are these camps in Syria, right? It's mostly known where the ISIS women and children are, but there's some fighters in them, too.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Yeah, and some other really interesting points is, right, we know at least from the training in Afghanistan what pieces of it will look like, right? So there's one piece kind of also pulled from Mumbai is the idea of these, like, attackers who fight to the death, right? Because it's not like in Israel, you'll go and do an attack, you can grab, like, kidnap someone and leave and go back into Gaza.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
When they come in the United States, they're here to do the attack and they're here to die, right? There's no... exit plan, right? So now we need to talk to law enforcement, like, what's it like to fight someone who wants to fight to the death? And how do we learn that?
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Okay, we go into our community, we talk to people who fought in Ramadi and Fallujah, bring them in, have them talk, be consultants, advisors, tell us what it was like to fight that enemy. We can do that. Another really big piece is suicide bombers, right? That they plan to do suicide bombings here. Well, what do we need to learn about suicide bombings?
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
I think, gosh, there's like over 40,000 ISIS members in these camps. Some are children, though. You know what I mean? And so that's one of the big pieces of this push. So when the U.S. leaves, we're going to hand those camps over to Giuliani and his exclusive government.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Because we don't have suicide bombings in our community, even simple things. What kind of standoff should we just have from a metal detector? We should start those standoffs now, right? Because then if the bomber gets freaked out, blows up, you save lives just by putting a standoff going up to the metal detector.

So if we start understanding these things, we can put little things in place that do save lives.

And when al-Qaeda planned this, remember, the Hamas attacks they were involved in planning, they planned a U.S. homeland attack to be 10 times the size of the Hamas attack. To them, the Hamas attacks was the dress rehearsal. So we have to remember the attack on us is going to be a lot larger.

And he's already made a promise, this was part of the whole deal, that they're going to release the women and children in those camps so that the Real deal here is when we leave, basically, it helps to reestablish ISIS, the next generation of ISIS.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Yep, one active shooter.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Yeah, no. And then another really interesting thing when he brings up the ISIS Russia attack. So they train multiple teams for that attack. And like the first team essentially got thwarted and wrapped up. So the Russians thought they stopped the plot. And then those guys came in and basically did that attack, which is very smart. And we're not used to those kinds of tactics.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Backup teams for these plots. Like that's a new thing. So We can even have people in the government and we do have people like, you know, they picked up like eight ISIS guys last year and think they thwarted the homeland plot. So the terrorists are also doing things to make you think, okay, you're ahead of the game. You stop this.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
And then they had a whole backup team that went in and successfully did that attack.
Shawn Ryan Show

I mean, even Al-Qaeda and the Taliban have offered to take 10,000 of those women and children, bring them to Afghanistan, give them sustenance, make sure the women can get remarried into jihadi families, and build that next generation of terrorists, too. So this is going to be a huge win for ISIS when we leave Syria. But I do think we're going to leave Syria.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
I mean, it's not my choice if we leave or stay, but I'm just saying basically the tumbling effect of that's going to be a major resurgence of ISIS.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Yeah. Well, I want to point out. So we fight terrorists, but we have no end games for them. OK, so so basically all the terrorists I know that we captured in Pakistan got freed. Right. Because they didn't go through the Pakistani judicial system. We didn't extradite them to the United States beside a couple of really high level like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Right.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
So after like five years, the Pakistani prisons are getting followed. They're like, what do you want to do with them, U.S.? Okay, release them. The detainees you picked up in Iraq, re-release them. These ones in Syria are going to get released. The Gitmo detainees, re-release what? 80% of them plus. So we have no end game for these terrorists.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
So then we put them back out on the street and then they build the next generation. So we're not actually defeating them. We're just holding them five to seven years and then restarting the entire process again. There is no end game for terrorists.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
There's actually an amazing case study If you actually look at the Las Vegas shooting where we lost, of course, hundreds of lives, they say 70% of the people who survived, survived because the people in their vicinity had first aid training and a lot of it was former military members. But those citizens stepped up and did the initial triage and the initial aid and it saved 70% of those people.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
I mean, that's a huge number and that alone should just get communities involved. Hey, if we know how to do this, look at the amount of number of lives you save.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
The problem is, in my opinion, the U.S. plans in two to four year cycles, how they're funded, nobody is in it for the long term. One is because of how we elect politicians, but the funding cycles in the Department of Defense, right? It's like, let's get this money this time. Here's our mission. We don't have long term strategic plans.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
Yeah, and there's precedence for this. So remember, the Pulse nightclub shooter, him and his wife did their surveillance on Disney Springs, the downtown Disney area. They chose it as the target. When he went to do the attack, he had the gun in his stroller. And then there was too much Disney security that day.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
He got back in the car, drove around, thought of another venue, and then picked Pulse later on. Horrible thing happened. But Disney having their security and upping their posture from the time he surveilled and said, I'm going to do it, to going back and having more security, he said, okay, this isn't worth it for me. I'm not going to be able to do what I want to do.
Shawn Ryan Show

You know, I mean, everyone talks about it, but it is the greatest example, right? The end of Charlie Wilson's war when he says, Hey, we put all this money into these weapons, right? Let's put money into education and no one wanted to think of it long-term. And then, you know, we got unfortunately the problems we had with 9-11. So we are horrible at the long-term planning.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
That is a case study of how it happens. Now, we all harden. We make all these targets more difficult. We keep thwarting them in that way. Remember, when people have to change the venue of their target, it might not be the same day like he did. They might have to do a week later. That gives law enforcement one more week to maybe identify him and thwart him. Because We want to thwart this plot.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
We want to stop it from happening. Buying time and making the terrorists have to hide out longer, spend more money, that helps us get them faster.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
There is no long-term end game for terrorists. They know it. They all know they're going to get released. They all know they're going to get back in the battlefield. And so if you have no repercussions, it gives you a confidence, right?
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
You know, and the other thing we have to be honest about, we're asking communities, prepare yourself, protect yourselves. But if we went after the senior leaders of these plots, where they're living in Afghanistan, where they're training these fighters in Afghanistan and dealing with it there, it wouldn't be here, right? So the fact that we're not striking in Afghanistan right now is a problem.
Shawn Ryan Show
#184 Growing Threat - Christian Persecution in Syria, Homeland Attacks and How to Prepare
The fact that we are acting like the terrorism fight is only in Syria, only in Somalia is a lie. It is in Afghanistan, and we need to be striking these senior leaders who are plotting against us now. That's how you thwart the plot.
