Before the smoke and dust had settled from the flash bangs and gunfire that ended the life of the terrorist Malik Faisal Akram in Colleyville, Texas, on Saturday, a stench was beginning to permeate the whole story of what exactly was going on. The passage of time has strengthened the idea that there are many things that do not seem quite kosher.
According to Sundance,
Malik Faisal Akram, who was known as Faisal Akram, had a well known Islamic extremist history to British and American intelligence. Akram ranted, prior to his travel to the U.S, that he wished he had died in the 9/11 terror attacks. He was a regular visitor to Pakistan, and reportedly a member of the Tablighi Jamaat group set up to ‘purify’ Islam. To say the U.S. intelligence system knew Faisal Akram would be an understatement.
The first question that needs to be answered is how did someone who is on our terrorist watch gain a visa under his own name to enter the United States? Who granted this terrorist access to our country? The administration says they are investigating this. I would not hold my breath that we will ever see anything substantive come out of this investigation.
Akram landed at JFK Airport in NY on January 2nd. Who did he visit and/or meet with? How did he get from NY to Dallas on January 6th? Who provided Akram with the weapon that he used during the hostage standoff? We have all seen how quickly the FBI will locate the seller of a weapon that is used in some horrific crime. We have all seen how the FBI will scrutinize every aspect of such a sale to see if they can pursue criminal charges against the seller who had nothing to do with the crime that was committed.
Will we ever know where the weapon came from here? My best guess is that the FBI will say he got the weapon “on the street.” Then some members of the lapdog media will chime in demanding greater controls over the sale of guns.
Another thing that smelled was that it was widely reported that the hostages were rescued when the FBI stormed the synagogue where the hostages were being held. It turns out this was a complete fabrication.
The three hostages were not released by the terrorist Malik Faisal Akram. They were not rescued by the FBI or local police. They escaped thanks to the courageous rabbi.
Rabbi Charle Cytron-Walker said he and the two other remaining hostages were “terrified,” especially during the last hour of the standoff Saturday night because the suspect “wasn’t getting what he wanted.” It was at that point that Cytron-Walker saw an opportunity to act. He hurled a chair at the terrorist and the three hostages escaped the building and ran to safety.
Another item that really stands out was the decision for FBI SWAT to storm the synagogue. Why? The hostages were safe. Only the terrorist was still in the building. Experts on these kinds of standoffs are asking why the FBI ignored standard protocols and went in “guns blazing” so to speak.
There was no imminent danger to anyone. Such storming situations actually pose some risk to the “good guys.” The confusion of such activities can lead to injuries and death to law enforcement personnel.
On the surface this appears to be another poor decision by the DOJ while handling a crisis in Texas. There have been many. The one that stands out in my mind is the absurd decision by Janet Reno in Waco. How many people died there who did not have to die?
Again, why the decision to storm the building? Was there a need to make sure that Akram did not ever speak to anyone again? Who setup and facilitated this whole event? Was this an attempt to distract the American public from the absolute disaster of communism in the Oval Office?
Something doesn’t smell right in all of this.
