Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker warned Friday on CNN that terrorists are “well embedded” within the United States, stating the threat level should be “higher” following an attack in Germany.
A 50-year-old Saudi doctor allegedly drove his car into a crowded Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany on Friday leaving at least two people dead and nearly 70 injured so far. On “Anderson Cooper 360,” Swecker was asked if he believes there is a potential “threat” to the U.S. as concerns have risen since the “fall of Afghanistan.”
“I think so,” Swecker said. “I mean, we’ve heard FBI Director Chris Wray talk about this in conjunction with the relative ease of getting across the southern border. And, you know, there’s no question that terrorists have come across that border, whether they’re lone terrorists or terrorist cells. And they’re well embedded inside this country.”
“I’ve worked terrorist cases. Hezbollah has always had a presence here. They raise funds here, and they can always be called into action as an active terrorist cell,” Swecker added. “So I think the alert here, especially around Christmas time, is elevated. It probably ought to be higher than what it is right now, because I mentioned that complacency earlier. And I fear that complacency as someone who has a background in this field.”
Concerns over the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the U.S. southern border have raised questions over the vetting process of illegal immigrants entering the country.
On Tuesday United States Border Patrol (USPB) Chief Jason Owens announced in a social post that an unidentified South African national who was “suspected of terror” was arrested in Brooklyn, N.Y. The illegal immigrant had originally been detained in Texas for criminal trespassing but was released due to the “information available at the time.”
In August an estimated 99 individuals on the U.S. terrorist watch list had been released into the country after crossing through the southern border, according to a congressional report. The report found that between fiscal years 2021 and 2023 USBP agents encountered more than 250 illegal migrants on the terrorist watchlist, with nearly 100 of those individuals being later released into the U.S. by the Department of Homeland Security.

Sounds like an FBI functioning really well to protect American citizens from terrorism: “the threat level should be higher” but apparently the FBI doesn’t care enough about protecting Americans to raise the threat level…..
This is what it is like to live in a country that is FUBAR.
If it were only the FBI that would be one thing. But we have a Dep’t of Homeland Security that has left Hurricane Helene victims living in tents in winter, because they already spent all their money on illegal aliens. And we have a foreign policy blob that takes a $10 million bounty off a terrorist’s head because he just happens to have successfully invaded a failed state, Syria. We have a Congress filmed with most members waiving Ukrainian flags, CELEBRATING that they have successfully spent billions more Americans’ money that Americans didn’t want spent in Ukraine (Americans apart from those who have drunk the CIA Kool Aid and believe we are doing God’s work in Ukraine). Oh yes and I shouldn’t forget the democrats celebrating that the Republican speaker of the House got a bill through that was a completely democrat bill which only needed 22 Republicans to pass because every single Democrat voted for it.
I am 72 years old and I can tell you that this is not the America I grew up in. It’s not even close. It’s completely unrecognizable: with gay pride parades in which people parade around wearing costumes looking like giant vulvas and drag Queens are mounted on floats as if they cheerleaders in the Orange Bowl parade. Muslims beating up Jews in the streets. Thugs smashing and grabbing jewels in jewelry stores. Pharmacies in poor neighborhoods in big cities having to close due to the amount of stealing going on. Had enough yet?
Anyone who thought long and hard about how to to destroy the US could not have done a better job. If they consulted the devil they could not have achieved more chaos and havoc.
Whether Trump and his team are capable of restoring our Constitutional Republic or some semblance thereof remains to be seen.
Sometimes it feels like there’s only a few minutes left before the globalists come in for the kill.
