Unreported Terrorist Attacks covered up?

I remember a similar thread on CAF awhile back regarding what the media reports and what it does not, and I learned there is actually a law on the books about releasing news that could lead to mass panic or cause problems, I believe it relates to FEMA in some way, kind of like if they found out an asteroid was going to strike earth in 2 weeks time, it would be illegal to release this to the public ‘too soon’ so to speak, as it would cause mass panic and society would breakdown.

Same thing with multiple terrorist attacks, I could easily see how reporting ‘too many’ of them within a short time frame could cause problems.
 
Media and government have been covering up incidents that would be harmful to their liberal political agendas for a long time, and it happens in Chicago and NY and London and Paris and Stockholm, etc. Talk to a policeman from a high crime area in a major city and he’ll probably tell you (off the record) some pretty shocking things that are never reported by the newsmedia.

Any single terrorist attack, or any closely-spaced group of terrorist attacks that would be large enough to trigger this provision would be too large to cover up, just considering the numerous witnesses and friends and relatives of the victims who would certainly talk. Media coverage might be delayed by a few hours, but any suppression of such an event could not last more than two days.

MSM wrote more articles about Fields than Mateen and San Bernardino combined.

That does not constitute “covering up” terrorists attacks.

Also, consider that over the years there has been more print media space devoted to the exploits of Charlie Brown and Snoopy than to all the terrorists acts in history. So I would not put much stock in how many articles were written.

Catholics voted for Trump. They had no alternative. When you have Trump and what he stood for, it was unthinkable to vote for Clinton.

I guess that is why Catholics overwhelmingly voted and supported this President because he speaks for them.

Of course we had minority of Catholics voted for Clinton. Though it is hard to understand why they did so, it was their right to choose nevertheless.

Whether Catholics voted for Trump depended on race. White Catholics did 60%-37%.
But Hispanic Catholics went totally the opposite way and then some. Hispanic Catholics voted for Clinton 67%-26%. They apparently saw something (or things) in Trump that went against their values too much to bring themselves to vote for Trump.

In regards to those attacks here, orchestrated in the manner of 911? No. But I was just responding to Trump’s list.

I guess trumps point might well be the ever changing definition of terrorists.
So by your own admission trump is correct that they were largely ignored as terrorist attacks. You just happen to not believe they were.
 
Donald Trump is not going to go away. We have 3 years, 49 weeks and 3 days by my calculations until the next President of the United States will be sworn in – no matter who that will be. So unless there is a catastrophic event, plane crash, ICBM strike that takes out Washington DC, plague, massive heart attack or stroke (you get the idea), President Trump is going to be with us for a while. I get that his style is brisk and abrasive. I get that he doesn’t do politically correct speech. But he is President. For anyone to have the type of success he has had in business and in life, he is doing something that works.

Yeah, he may not be your style. Yeah, he may not be doing what you like. Yeah, he says some tough stuff – truths people don’t want to hear. Yeah, he says things in ways that I prefer he would have said differently. But this man has kept more campaign promises in three days shy of three weeks than the entire House and Senate combined. So is every single day going to be another drama, another temper tantrum, another shrill scream? So are people so wedded to party platform and identity politics that they would rather see the country burn than to see the country come together for the good of the nation?

I guess like the Bowling Green one?

From fbi.gov:

archives.fbi.gov/archives/lo…ist-activities

"In speaking with the CHS, Alwan spoke of his efforts to kill U.S. soldiers in Iraq, stating “lunch and dinner would be an American.” "

I think people would remember if the American media announced that the Bowling Green, Kentucky terrorists would be killing Americans for lunch and dinner.

These terrorists caused Obama to impose a 6 month ban on Iragi refugees in 2011. The same ban that the media didn’t cover.
