Not sure if it’s been talked about but it’s being reported that the FBI has flown in their main HRT squad. They are the most elite Law Enforcement in the nation and absolutely do not frick around. Sounds like they do believe a cell could be active and will be hunting them down.

Harvey close to where all the Muslims are?


Yes, Harvey is close to where there is a Muslim community. I was driving through that area to get to a meeting in Gretna a few years ago and there was a lot of road construction. I ended up in school traffic for some elementary or middle school in the Harvey area and most of the moms walking their kids to school were wearing hijabs. I was really surprised.

But the FBI just said on twitter that the 4 people caught on camera planting devices in the French quarter didn't plant devices in the French quarter

It’s a long shot but is there any correlation to the date 1/1/2025 and 9/11 for this attack? where 1/1/2025 = 1/1/9 if you add up the numbers in the year ???

So NOLA isn’t safe like Kennedy suggests. Also don’t understand why he said it when he knows it’s active. And if NOLA isn’t safe the country isn’t.

It’s not clear. At first I thought it was reported that the truck owner lived in Texas? I don’t know what’s correct.

oh dear- the most elite in the nation?
What do they have- two wisecracking lead agents of different races? A grizzled boss who says things like "I can't cover for you guys much longer. I'm getting too old for this shite"?

in the late ‘90s early 2000s a Muslim man owned 3 or 4 Subway sandwich shops in downtown Nola - I used to baby sit his daughters

Muslims have been there for a while.

Hostage Rescue Team. FBI swat with USMC and ARMY trained snipers. Some of best in the world actually. Probably the only arm of federal LE worth a crap.

Don't want to sew fear and panic and skid brake the economy.

I kinda agree with it. I wish he'd tell me everything he knew, but the general public is far too stupid to handle that kind of information.

There’s a lot of car rental places in Harvey, all rented cars are issued with Texas plates.

He went 3 or 4 blocks in from Canal. That's what I don't get. Did they actually remove the bollards on all 4 of those blocks at the same time?

You'd think they would've staggered the installations.

News article from 7 years ago when they were installed

quote:

NEW ORLEANS – Temporary barriers have become a common sight on Bourbon Street during special events like Mardi Gras, French Quarter Fest, and the Bayou Classic, but now permanent bollards are being installed.

The retractable bollards have already been stalled on the 100 and 200 blocks of Bourbon Street, and they’ll be installed on the 300 and 400 blocks over the weekend.

Maybe that’s why he rented an EV. No acceleration noise


Those trucks boast really fast acceleration times and are a lot heavier than a conventional vehicle.

Hostage Rescue Team…they are essentially a national mission force capable of operating inside the United States.

I believe they are pretty well respected as a capable unit.
