REVEALED: Top FBI Leader in New Orleans Was on Vacation Over New Year’s Despite Known Vulnerabilities on Bourbon Street – And Left DEI Special Agent with Nose Ring in Charge

According to the Oversight Project, the top FBI leader in New Orleans was on vacation in Italy over New Year’s despite known vulnerabilities on Bourbon Street, leaving the DEI hire with a nose ring in charge.

According to the Oversight Project, top FBI brass Lyonel Myrthil was in Italy which is why they left Special Agent Alethea Duncan in charge to brief the public after the terror attack.

In a carefully worded statement, the FBI confirmed to the Oversight Project that Lyonel Myrthil was “en route to a family vacation out of the country” when the terrorist attack occurred.

FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate didn’t even know Lyonel Myrthil was out of the country. Abbate deployed a senior counterterrorism official from FBI HQ to New Orleans hours after the terror attack.

Biden Falls Asleep During Service For New Orleans Terror Victims

Joe Biden appeared to doze off Monday during a prayer service for the victims of the New Orleans terror attack on January 1st.

Biden was seen sitting with is head down and his eyes closed before the actual prayer part of the service. His wife and everyone else looked alert and had their eyes open as a pastor spoke in honour of the 14 people who lost their lives in the horrendous attack.

Biden has already displayed contempt for the victims twice with his handlers sending out a tone deaf ‘happy new year’ tweet after the attack had happened, and by checking his watch and saying he wanted to “get this damn thing done” while holding a press conference and talking about the attack last week.

Who in the Heck Was the Terrorist Waving to As He Placed an IED Along Bourbon Street?

Late Sunday morning, officials in New Orleans, Louisiana, held a press conference to update the public regarding the state of their investigation into the New Year’s Day terrorist attack launched by (the now-deceased) Shamsud-Din Jabbar. 

There were a number of details shared by the FBI and ATF Special Agents in Charge (SACs), not least of which was the revelation that Jabbar had traveled out of the country (to Egypt and Canada) in 2023 and had made at least two reconnaissance treks to New Orleans in the months leading up to the attack. 

On his October New Orleans visits, Jabbar used Meta smart glasses while riding a bicycle to film the French Quarter. He was also wearing the glasses at the time of the attack, but they were not activated to livestream it. 

During the press conference, FBI SAC Lyonel Myrthil referred to several clips of surveillance video that showed Jabbar in the hours leading up to the attack. 

The first three to four seconds of the clip above purports to show Jabbar looking in the mirror while wearing the Meta glasses. 

Then, there is about a minute of surveillance video of Jabbar out on the street with a wheeled cooler as he prepared to place one of the IEDs. (Per the stated timeline provided by Myrthil, this would have been sometime prior to 1:53 a.m. on January 1.) We see Jabbar, in a long tan coat, with what appears to be a phone in his right hand, holding onto the cooler handle with his left. He appears to be waiting for something (or someone?) and checking his phone. After about 40 seconds, he starts walking, towing the cooler. We then see him at what appears to be a slightly different location, next to a trashcan, cooler still in tow, phone still in hand. At the 54-second mark, he looks up and appears to be waving at someone (in the general vicinity of the surveillance camera). After that, he steps off the curb, leaving the cooler behind. 

Next, we see Jabbar walking in the street, carrying a blue bucket-style cooler in his right hand. Per the stated timeline, this would be sometime prior to 2:20 a.m. And, of course, we know by 3:15 a.m., he was back behind the wheel of the Ford F-150, barreling down Bourbon Street. 

As noted in the presser, authorities now believe that the individual(s) who moved the first cooler from the point where Jabbar left it at Bourbon and St. Peter to Bourbon and Orleans (initially thought to be accomplices of Jabbar) were simply “unknowing Bourbon Street visitors [who] grabbed the cooler’s handle and moved it.” Odd and flukey, no doubt. But considering the hour and the setting, not all that difficult to believe.

Florida man accused of planning attack at pro-Israel organization in Plantation

A Florida man who was found with an AR-15 and other weapons was arrested after authorities said he’d planned an attack at a pro-Israel organization in Plantation.

Forrest Kendall Pemberton, 26, was arrested last week on a stalking charge after an investigation by the FBI, according to a federal criminal complaint.

Although it’s not named in the complaint, the organization is believed to be the American Israel Public Affairs Committe, or AIPAC, which has a location on N. Pine Island Road in Plantation.

According to the complaint, Pemberton’s father reported him missing to law enforcement on Dec. 23.

His family found a letter believed to have been written by Pemberton with “anti-authority sentiments” stating he wanted to “close the loop,” “stoke the flames” and say goodbye to his family, the complaint said.

The family said missing from his room and believed to be in his possession were an Ar-15 rifle, a 9mm pistol, a Galil rifle and a laptop

On his computer, he searched for various entities including the IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center, IRS Appeals and Chief Counsel Office, and an address on South Pine Island Road in Plantation adjacent to the IRS Appeals and Chief Counsel Office, the complaint said.

The complaint said he also searched for an organization in Plantation that lobbies for “pro-Israel policies that strengthen and expand the U.S.-Israel relationship.”

That same day, Dec. 23, a family member provided the FBI a screenshot of four ATM withdrawals made by Pemberton at different locations along University Drive in Plantation, the complaint said.

Authorities discovered Pemberton had checked in to a hotel in Plantation on Dec. 22 and checked out the next day. On Dec. 24, records showed Pemberton was at another hotel in Tallahassee.

On Dec. 25, He was seen getting into a rideshare vehicle with an apparent soft rifle case, the complaint said.

Law enforcement stopped the vehicle and Pemberton handed over the AR-15, the Galil rifle and the pistol, along with ammunition, the complaint said.

Pemberton was interviewed by investigators and said he’d walked from Gainesville to Ocala, where he bought a pickup truck.

Was NOLA Killer Jabbar A Jason Bourne? Bourbon Street Terrorist’s Bombs Made With Extremely Rare Explosive, Officials Say

Reports of strange facts and inconsistencies continue to follow the Jan 1 ‘terror’ attacks in the United States, leading many to insinuate these attacks were ‘inside jobs’.

The terrorist who killed 14 people and hurt 35 more in New Orleans in the early hours of New Year’s Day prepositioned bombs that used an extraordinarily rare explosive compound, senior law enforcement officials have told NBC News. The two devices didn’t detonate, but authorities are scrambling to learn how Shamsud-Din Jabbar was able to incorporate a type of explosive that has never before been used in a terror attack in America or Europe.   

At around 3 am on Wednesday, Texas-born Houston resident Shamsud-Din Jabbar used a pickup truck to plow a path of carnage through a crowd of New Year’s partiers on Bourbon Street, before police killed him in a shootout. The 42-year-old US Army veteran’s plan had another dimension of death that he failed to execute: The FBI and ATF say he’d built two bombs that were rigged to be detonated with a transmitter that was found in his rented Ford F-150 truck.

Disgraceful: MSNBC Host Trashes US Veterans…

MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell elicited backlash Friday for declaring that US veterans represent a greater terror threat than the undocumented illegal immigrants crossing over the border in their hundreds of thousands per month.

Reacting to the two new year’s day terror attacks on his program watched by practically nobody now, O’Donnell declared “The simple fact is, this country has suffered more deadly terrorism at the hands of American-born citizens who are veterans of the United States military than people who have crossed into this country at the southern border.”

“It is very clear from the evidence that if you want to worry about terrorism in this country, the United States Army is a much bigger problem than the southern border,” he further proclaimed.

O’Donnell then referred to Timothy McVeigh, the domestic terrorist behind the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, to argue that American veterans have carried out more violent acts in the US than illegal immigrants have.

“Timothy McVeigh parked a truck outside that building loaded with explosives in an act of homegrown American terrorism,” O’Donnell stated.

Jordanian National Ahmad Jamal Khamees Alhendi Identified as Suspect Behind Greenville I-85 Shutdown; Faces Bomb Threat Charges and ICE Detainer

Ahmad Jamal Khamees Alhendi, a Jordanian national, has been identified as the suspect responsible for the hours-long shutdown of Interstate 85 near Greenville, South Carolina.

The chaos unfolded after Alhendi allegedly issued a bomb threat during a routine traffic stop on Thursday, prompting a massive law enforcement response involving SWAT teams, bomb squads, and federal agencies.

The South Carolina Department of Transportation reported severe backups near Exit 44 at White Horse Road as authorities scrambled to address the threat.

Greenville County deputies, along with the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) bomb squad and the FBI, were deployed to neutralize the potential danger. Governor Henry McMaster confirmed that the shutdown was a precautionary measure taken “out of an abundance of caution.”

“I-85 near mile marker 44 is temporarily closed out of an abundance of caution due to a bomb threat issued during a routine traffic stop this afternoon by SC Transport Police,” Governor McMaster said.

“SCDOT and state law enforcement are on the scene, and normal I-85 traffic will resume once the tractor trailer is swept and cleared by SELD’s bomb squad.”

New Orleans Terrorist Home Left Unsecured Before Full Processing?? And Quran Verses Displayed in New Orleans Terrorist’s Home Revealed – “Kindergarten Koran””

Yesterday, the New York Post’s Jennie Taer posted a video of her walking through what should have been a secure crime scene, the house of New Orleans terror suspect Shamsud-Din Jabbar.  The head-scratching walk-through revealed a house reasonably intact despite an alleged search warrant being served.  Computers and electronics were visible throughout the home.  Religious texts appeared still in place as if they were left alone during the search.

It is now being reported a day later that Taer may have walked through the property without the knowledge of law enforcement.  FOX News’s Brooke Taylor is reporting on X that Harris County Sheriff’s bomb squad is en route to “collect evidence”:

Deputies just closed down the street in north Harris County where Shamsud-Din Jabbar was living. A source tells me HCSO bomb squad is on the way to collect evidence. This comes days later, when the door was left open and people were inside the home taking pictures and freely roaming around. Sources also say precursor chemicals were found inside the home when they first raided it, which are typically used for making home made explosives. The question now becomes why come back and collect evidence and not do this days ago?

The home of an alleged ISIS-supporting terrorist was left unsecured after an initial search?  During her video, Taer showed what appeared to be a staged display of the search warrant and receipt for items collected in her initial video yesterday.  As mentioned, nothing other than some preliminary bomb-making materials were reportedly taken, according to the receipt left on the kitchen island.

Imam of mosque attended by Bourbon Street terrorist said Hitler killed Jews over the economy

The imam of the Houston mosque that the butcher of Bourbon Street in New Orleans Shamsud Din Jabbar reportedly attended, had sermons filled with antisemitic tropes, including claiming that Jews seek to control the economy wherever they go and that’s why Hitler killed them. He also claimed Europeans support Israel because they don’t want Jews back in their countries.

Eiad Soudan is the imam at the Islamic Center of Greater Houston (ICHG) – Masjid Bilal, where reportedly New Orleans attack Shamsud Din Jabbar was a member. Soudan, according to The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), during a November 17, 2023 youth committee program at the center, while discussing the history of Palestine, said that the Jews, whom he referred to as the “Israelites,” seek to take control of the economy wherever they go, and this is the reason that Hitler, whom he said had a “nice moustache,” killed them.

Soudan said in the video, that was uploaded to YouTube on November 25, 2023: “Imagine, in Europe, what was happening to the Israelites there? As we said, [Jews were] killed, destroyed, persecuted, the question is why? Why were they treated this way? And why does the whole world today support them? Why does the whole world want them to stay in Palestine?”

Soudan claimed that Hitler had not only killed Jews, but also thousands of Muslims. “Those who say that only the Israelites paid the price [in WWII] – everybody paid the price, they say thousands of Muslims were killed.”

The imam alleged that Europeans only support Israel due to fear that Jews will return to their countries. He added a verse from the Quran according to which the Israelites seek to spread corruption. “Because if they don’t stay in Palestine, they will go back to their countries, and those people, unfortunately, have one problem – well, they have many problems, but that’s one of the main problems – they like to take control of the economy. Everywhere they go, whatever is the rule, as long as they get to the goal, the means don’t matter. Interest, usuary is prohibited for them.”

“Still they use it to get control of the economy. That is why the other countries don’t want them back. So when they support them, they are not supporting them because they love them. It’s like: ‘Please stay there, we’ll do whatever [it takes], stay there, don’t come back.’”

Soudan added, “Allah told that in the Quran: ‘And they (Jews) spread corruption across the land, and Allah does not like corrupters.’ They seek corruption in the land.”

Spook Training in Question with New Orleans and Las Vegas Terrorists

The terrorist attacks that occurred in New Orleans, LA and Las Vegas, NV, are tragic. How the families cope with such devastating loss is impossible to comprehend. But getting legitimate and accurate information about the deadly attacks may provide some comfort and closure. Forty-eight hours into the investigation one can only say that the status is fluid.

It’s way too early to know if these two terrorists were mentally challenged and on some weird cocktail of psychiatric drugs or if the attacks were something more nefarious. But some information seems so strange and coincidental that one cannot help but wonder whether the attacks go deeper than law enforcement will be willing to share. So, let’s consider the two attacks and what we know two days out.

In the early morning hours of New Year’s Day, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar travelled to New Orleans, driving a Ford F-150 into holiday revelers killing 15 (and himself) and injuring 30 others. That same day, just a few hours later, 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger drove a Tesla Cybertruck to Las Vegas where it exploded in front of the Trump Hotel main entry doors, killing himself and injuring seven. On the surface, it would appear that these two events are unrelated. But there are a few nagging coincidences that law enforcement must address.

First, both men served in the U.S. Army. Din Jabbar served in the Army from 2006 to 2015 and had deployed to Afghanistan in 2009. Livelsberger was Army “special operations” active duty and home on leave from Germany and who served in Afghanistan at the same time as Din Jabbar. It is reported that both men also were stationed at Ft. Bragg in North Carolina at the same time.
