Truth is often stranger than fiction, and sometimes you really can’t make this stuff up.  But at a certain point when the patterns become consistent, what may have once been unpredictable suddenly becomes almost expected.  That… is what I bring to you today. In a story we originally brought you yesterday as the initial news broke, the FBI arrested and charged an Afghani citizen living in Oklahoma with terrorism-related crimes, along with one accomplice.  You can see the original breaking story here: BREAKING: Election Day Terror Plot To Kill Americans Foiled In a plot twist that SHOULD be a complete surprise in a normal world, it is being reported by two NBC reporters that Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, the man in question, actually worked for the CIA!  (I know, I know — surprise, surprise… right!?!?) Scoop from @dandeluce and @ckubeNBC: The alleged Afghan terrorist charged this week worked as a security guard for the CIA in Afghanistan. The FBI is investigating whether he was radicalized before or after he came here in 2021 on humanitarian parole–a month after the chaotic… — Ken Dilanian (@KenDilanianNBC) October 9, 2024 Two glaring points of interest stand out to me as I dug through these COMPLETELY UNSURPRISING REVELATIONS: He worked for the CIA (reportedly as a security guard in Afghanistan). He came to the U.S. on Sept. 9, 2021 — 10 days after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Interesting. I wonder where Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi was working as a CIA security guard in Afghanistan — at Eagle Base in Kabul? at Ariana Hotel in Kabul? at Parwan Detention Facility at Bagram? or some other CIA facility or operation? And which years was he working for the CIA? https://t.co/Oa192b3UAQ — Jerry Dunleavy IV (@JerryDunleavy) October 9, 2024 Afghan accused of plotting terror attack worked as CIA guard, officials say https://t.co/5w5cgFspy2 via @nbcnews — Dan De Luce (@dandeluce) October 9, 2024 According to the NBC News report cited in that previous post by Dan De Luce (one of the two NBC journalists who have been told by their sources about Tawhedi’s CIA employment history), the CIA undertook it’s own evacuation of Afghans who had specifically worked for the Agency in Afghanistan.  (Remember this part, it’s important.) An Afghan man arrested on charges of planning a terrorist attack on Election Day worked as a security guard in Afghanistan for the CIA, two sources with knowledge of the matter told NBC News. Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, was arrested on Monday in Oklahoma and accused of plotting to kill Americans with an assault rifle on behalf of ISIS. Court documents said he had contributed to an ISIS charity in March and accessed online ISIS propaganda, but they did not say whether he was radicalized before or after he came to the U.S. in 2021. A senior law enforcement official said the FBI is still investigating that question. The CIA declined to comment. The Department of Homeland Security, which plays a lead role in the vetting, declined to discuss the case, saying in a statement that “Afghan evacuees who sought to enter the United States were subject to multi layered screening and vetting against intelligence, law enforcement, and counterterrorism information. If new information emerges after arrival, appropriate action is taken.” But members of Congress and other U.S. officials have said that as the U.S. evacuated tens of thousands of Afghans in the waning days of the war, concerns emerged that not all of them were properly scrutinized. A report by the DHS inspector general said the agency “lacked critical data” as it sought to screen the refugees. The CIA undertook its own large-scale evacuation operation of Afghans who had worked for or helped the agency. BREAKING: This is 27-year-old Nasir Tawhedi.

Full story at 10pm @koconews pic.twitter.com/Rvd7HL86Tv — Zach Rael (@KOCOZach) October 9, 2024 According to a different KOCO 5 News report by anchor Evan Onstot, tracking down how Nasir’s co-conspirator got into the country has been a little more difficult. Property records tracked the family of the teenage suspect, who was a virtual student at Southmoore High School. According to the FBI, the teen’s family has been in the U.S. since 2018. The family first moved to Woodbridge, Virginia, which is south of Washington, D.C., and then records indicate the family moved to Dallas in 2021. The family then bought a home in Moore in 2023. Both Tawhedi and the teen are accused of plotting a terror attack on Election Day with the goal of killing Americans in support of the Islamic State group. Tawhedi is married to the teenage suspect’s older sister, but at this moment, where he entered the U.S. and when exactly he moved to Oklahoma City is not confirmed. While we don’t know how long the FBI had been watching Tawhedi, we do know he came to the U.S. in 2021, and his co-conspirator, a juvenile, has been in the country since 2018. As I’m making my way through the information that is available surrounding this case, I am reminded at this moment, and I want to bring to your attention as well — we do not know exactly what the alleged TARGET was.  All we are being told by the Justice Department is that these men wanted to kill Americans on Election Day. Even leaving room for the many possible scenarios that could actually prove to be the truth of this situation (I’m sure you have 2-3 possible scenarios in your head, just like I do), the fact remains — there was presumably a real target.  Even if the revelation of CIA employment is as devious and criminal as many of us are contemplating… (and maybe, ESPECIALLY in that case), there was a TARGET. We are being left to assume that the target was some non-descript group of Americans in small-town Oklahoma outside of a polling location.  At least, that’s what it “feels” like we’re very cunningly being led to imagine, to me.  (And don’t get me wrong — that would be bad enough!) But I will say again — we do not know the alleged target.  But we know who has been the target lately, and we know that multiple 3-letter US agencies have proven (at the least!) to be neglectfully instrumental in EACH of those cases.  I’ll let that hang in the air, but I am very… very suspicious of those 3-letter agencies at the moment, as I contemplate what the “true” target actually was, and the fact that the guy who has been arrested for the plot WORKED FOR THE CIA!!! (Seriously — you can not make this stuff up!) Found this picture of Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi. 27, on the indictment. pic.twitter.com/kBQyMKtSFj — Snarkio (@Snarkio_) October 8, 2024 That is our alleged terrorist.  And the more I learn, the more I see — the more I’m simply not buying it.  I’m not claiming I know exactly what the truth of the matter is, because there are probably half a dozen possibilities that I’m entertaining, which fit what we do know, right now.  But at the moment, I’m not even sure I buy that this guy was “radicalized” at all. And even if he was… was he a radical on the CIA’s radar?  Or was he a radical in the CIA’s employment?  I probably don’t have to tell you which way I’m leaning at the moment.  And I probably don’t have to tell you who I suspect might have been the actual target.  I wonder if the fact that the FBI arrested him was truly just the FBI doing it’s job, or something more akin to poetic justice? So apparently an Afghan National was plotting an Election Day Attack… • Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, living in Oklahoma, obtained firearms and ammunition to plot a terror attack on U.S. soil… on Election Day on behalf of the Islamic state. • Tawhedi was arrested and is… pic.twitter.com/ddeup5QBAY — MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) October 9, 2024 That is a well done news report.  The problem I’m having with it… is that none of it can be independently verified.  Or at least, none of it has, yet.  Every “fact” in that report is via the Department of Justice, the FBI, and presumably the CIA (since he was their former employee, of course).  Which is why I keep saying — I’m not buying it. You’ve got to be kidding me… You know the Afghan National that was supposedly Planning to Attack on Election Day? He was a CIA asset in Afghanistan. The CIA basically caught themselves. https://t.co/YvTMybxhJB pic.twitter.com/1H6MRFarXd — MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) October 10, 2024 According to a report covering the fact that Nasir apparently worked for the CIA, Lou Dobbs news site points out that he was specifically a CIA security guard at one point. As previously reported, the FBI arrested an Afghan national who was plotting an ISIS-inspired Election Day terrorist attack. Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi was arrested in Oklahoma City on Monday after federal law enforcement sent a confidential human source (CHS) to secretly communicate with him and his co-conspirators. Tawhedi was ferried into the US by the Biden-Harris Regime after their botched Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021 on a Special Immigrant Visa. Now this… Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi worked as a security guard for the CIA in Afghanistan. (Emphasis added.) Here’s my next question.  I know I can go out and find a “security guard” job in the U.S. at tons of different places where there will be absolutely no opportunity to carry a firearm, or get firearm training.  Most “security guards” are simply there for the presence.  But this guy worked as a security guard for the CIA in Afghanistan. You know what I think?  I think they trained him to shoot and move.  In fact, I don’t think there’s any chance whatsoever that Nasir worked for the CIA as a security guard in Afghanistan back in the day without being PROFICIENT with his weapon, courtesy of the CIA. And I think he was brought to this country for a reason.  Not “slipped through the cracks”… but was BROUGHT here, for a reason, after receiving CIA training for skills that he would need in their employment.  But, I digress.  For now.  (But if you can’t stomach a little conspiracy theory, at this point, I’m not sure I have anything for you.) According to our earlier referenced NBC News article, sources have allegedly told NBC that the documents specifying details about Nasir’s status and entry into the U.S. are actually incorrect!  Hmm.  Are they, though?  Or is this just a case of “Awww…. shucks, I always get that wrong!”…?  Again, I’m not buying it. The Justice Department charging document says he entered on a Special Immigrant Visa “and is currently on parole status pending adjudication of his immigrant proceedings.” Special Immigrant Visas are given to Afghans who worked with the U.S. in Afghanistan after they pass DHS screening. However, two U.S. officials familiar with the matter told NBC News the charging document is incorrect, and that Tawhedi entered the U.S. on what’s known as humanitarian parole. Officials say humanitarian parole generally entails far less screening than a Special Immigrant Visa. The sources familiar with his work in Afghanistan say he would have had minimal interaction with Americans and he was not a CIA informant or a member of the U.S.-trained and armed paramilitary force known as the “Zero Units.” Many of those fighters were evacuated to the U.S. after rigorous screening and vetting. When you cross-reference that with the earlier information from the same NBC report stating that the CIA brought it’s own people over on it’s own flights, coinciding with the Sept. 9, 2021 date of Nasir’s arrival, we seem to have a little bit of a conflict. And the simplest answer for that conflict in my mind is that the “officials” trying to say “oh, he just slipped through the cracks because he was on this less stringent protocol to come to the U.S.”… those guys are trying to cover their tracks using the concealment of ineptitude.  (It often works, especially when there is actual ineptitude to create the cover — just ask the White House.) The problem, as usual, is that facts are stubborn things.  And I can tell you that Nasir does not show up on the manifests — ANYWHERE — to have been brought in by the U.S. in the primary evacuations.  And that, I would suggest logic would lead us to believe, is because he was brought in by the CIA afterwards, along with all the other CIA assets.  Because he is one of theirs.  Not minimally checked with very little exposure to the CIA, blah, blah, blah… but perfectly vetted.  That’s my assessment at this point.  And I’m willing to bet a month’s pay that I’m right. That said — we are somewhat at the mercy of the information gatekeepers, whether we like it or not.  (So my month’s pay is probably safe whether I’m right or wrong.)  We will continue to attempt to scrape at this story and get at the truth, but no doubt those on the other side will continue to work in a way that makes that more difficult. You just can’t make this stuff up, and it really breeds distrust in American agencies. The Afghan National that was supposedly planning an attack on Election Day was a CIA asset in Afghanistan. Really. pic.twitter.com/Ml4bT5juOC — WorldNetDaily (@worldnetdaily) October 10, 2024 “…breeds distrust in American agencies.” Regardless of the true detailed specifics, whatever they are, I just want to point out what the World Net Daily perceptively identified.  One thing that is definitely happening wholesale in almost EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE of corruption, secrecy, and scandal that the American people have been dealing with at the hands of our own government… is that each one of them “breeds distrust in American agencies.” At the end of the day, knowing that as the Marxist revolutionary protocol that it is… I have to ask myself, and you, regardless of all the details and specifics of each individual event and scandal — has that been the simple point all along? I’m afraid so.  And you don’t fix that by getting to the bottom of every single individual scenario of scandal, secret corruption, and criminal conspiracy.  You fix that by installing good leaders who will submit themselves to the Constitutional constraints that are designed to act as accountability barriers to the path we are now on. You fix that by getting rid of the democracy-based leaders, and installing constitutional republican leaders.  And come November… I pray that’s exactly what we do. This is a developing story, and we’ll bring you updates as they become available.  (No matter how wildly absurd they turn out to be.)

The leading Democratic Party players are not campaigning for Kamala. You don’t even see much of the Obama’s, Pelosi, Schumer, Clinton. Many House and Senate members do not want to be seen with her. They aren’t stumping for her because she’s toxic. However, behind the curtain, deep-pocketed leftists gave her a billion dollars to buy […] The post Kamala Harris Must Be Very Lonely on the Stump appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Former President Donald Trump and Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) slammed CBS News’ “60 Minutes” on Thursday for refusing to address the scandal surrounding the deceptive edits the program made to its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. “A giant Fake News Scam by CBS & 60 Minutes,” Trump posted on X alongside a video of one of the edits that the show made. “Her REAL ANSWER WAS CRAZY, OR DUMB, so they actually REPLACED it with another answer in order to save her or, at least, make her look better.” “A FAKE NEWS SCAM, which is totally illegal,” he added. “TAKE AWAY THE CBS LICENSE. Election Interference. She is a Moron, and the Fake News Media wants to hide that fact. An UNPRECEDENTED SCANDAL!!!” In a post on Truth Social, Trump described the edits as the “single Biggest Scandal in Broadcast History.” A giant Fake News Scam by CBS & 60 Minutes. Her REAL ANSWER WAS CRAZY, OR DUMB, so they actually REPLACED it with another answer in order to save her or, at least, make her look better. A FAKE NEWS SCAM, which is totally illegal. TAKE AWAY THE CBS LICENSE. Election Interference.… pic.twitter.com/JRxSda3NeC — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 10, 2024 Vance, who is Trump’s vice presidential running mate, demanded that the show release the full interview. “If 60 Minutes had an ounce of integrity, they would release the full, unedited interview,” Vance posted on X. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! “The person who can’t answer basic questions about national security wants to be our next president,” he added. “Show us what she actually said, in full.” The comments from Trump and Vance come after the show released two contradictory responses from Harris in response to remarks made by host Bill Whitaker. The moment happened when Whitaker was discussing with Harris the United States’ financial support for Israel in its war against genocidal Islamic terrorists in the region. “But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening,” Whitaker said to Harris. In a promotional clip that was posted by CBS News on Sunday, Harris responded to that statement from Whitaker by saying: “The work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.” However, when the full interview was published by the network on Monday night, that statement from Harris was nowhere to be found. Those words were not included anywhere in the television broadcast, nor did they appear in the interview when it was posted on YouTube, the interview’s transcript, or the show’s “Overtime” segment. Instead, on television and in the interview posted online, Whitaker’s identical statement that “it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening” is followed by Harris saying: “We are not gonna stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.”

The reporter who launched several news cycles on Doug Emhoff questioned Thursday why legacy media would refrain from covering explosive allegations against Kamala Harris’ husband. Josh Boswell, senior reporter for DailyMail.com, appeared on Thursday’s episode of The Morning Wire to discuss his reporting on Emhoff. Boswell’s sources have told him not only that Emhoff cheated on his ex-wife with his children’s nanny, but also that Emhoff allegedly slapped his former girlfriend while they were partying in France, and that Emhoff behaved in an “inappropriate” and “misogynistic”  manner at the law firm Venable, where he formerly worked. Legacy media waited to report on Boswell’s first story, about Emhoff cheating with his nanny, until Emhoff confirmed some details of the story himself. But outlets like The New York Times and the Washington Post have yet to cover Boswell’s second story, on Emhoff allegedly slapping his ex-girlfriend, nor have they covered Boswell’s third story, describing Emhoff’s behavior towards female colleagues at work. “It does surprise me,” he told Morning Wire. “It surprises me because this is a major public figure, let alone whether Kamala wins or not. Doug Emhoff is the Second Gentleman. It’s a public office, it has influence, it has power, it has staff working for him who are paid using public money.” Hurricane Milton crashes into Florida, a migrant is caught allegedly plotting a terror attack, and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff faces a handful of troubling allegations. Reporting from @cabot_phillips, @AmandaPresto, & @MaryMargOlohan. pic.twitter.com/BNxntZVnSc — Morning Wire (@MorningWire) October 10, 2024 “These are allegations that very much fit in with the years of allegations against powerful, influential men that have been coming out since the #METOO movement started in 2018,” he added. “Which is an important movement. It’s important that people hear about these allegations and that they are investigated.” “And yet when it comes to the husband of the vice president, someone who is running for the presidency, for the Democratic Party, we’re not hearing the same kind of calls for investigation or follow up stories from some of those legacy media,” Boswell said. “That surprises me, and I hope that they are going to pick up the ball on this.” Neither the White House nor the Harris campaign have responded to requests for comment from The Daily Wire regarding the allegations against Emhoff. An unnamed Emhoff spokesman told Semafor that The Daily Mail’s report that Emhoff drunkenly slapped his ex-girlfriend is “untrue” and that “any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a woman is false.” Harris herself has not addressed the allegations, and in the few interviews that Harris has done, she has not been asked to discuss the topic. During a Tuesday interview with Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro, former President Donald Trump accused “corrupt” media outlets of hiding negative stories about Harris and her husband. Trump specifically pointed to an interview Harris did on MSNBC, or “MSDNC” as Trump said. “It was like a love fest,” Trump told Shapiro. “Never asked him about that. Never asked him about the other one.” “And we’re saying he’s like a symbol for all men all over the world? It’s the craziest interview I’ve ever seen,” Trump added, seemingly in reference to former White House Press Secretary and current MSNBC host Jen Psaki’s praise of Emhoff. “If that were me, it would be the greatest story in the last five years.”

Ever since Hurricane Milton made landfall yesterday in Florida, countless folks have taken to social media to share footage of the storm. Many of these videos and photos have showcased the immense power of this destructive storm. Each one provides us with a new point of view. That said, none are quite like the view of Hurricane Milton from space. Yes, that’s right, from space. Matthew Dominick has been serving as commander of a NASA crew since March 3, 2024. As a flight engineer, he’s getting the chance to conduct all sorts of science experiments at the International Space Station.

In the US, our focus has been on the damages left behind after hurricanes wreaked havoc: Helene in North Carolina and Tennessee, and now Milton in Florida. Residents in the affected areas are working through flooding and recovering from the devastation. Meanwhile, in Africa, the Sahara Desert is battling flood conditions for the first time in 30 to 50 years! @pixelaiartistry (Credits to @Dylan Page) Sahara Desert is Flooding! #breakingnews #news #story #sahara #storytelling ♬ Originalton – Pixelaiartistry Typically, one of the driest places on Earth, the Sahara Desert flooding stems from greater rainfall. Experts state that the unprecedented fall rains result from a less volatile hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean. However, many skeptics question this theory, and the cause of the heavy rainfall in the desert remains a mystery. The rains started in September, with a deluge during the first week of the month. Images from August and September show the result of this initial rainfall. August 2024. Image from NASA. After the initial September rainfall, you can see the areas of hydration in a September image. September 2024. Image from NASA. The September rainfall rehydrated the area and replenished underground aquifers. With the ground at saturation levels, additional rains in October caused the Sahara Desert to flood at levels not seen for decades. In a viral post on TikTok, user skylietravels shows the raging flood waters rushing across the desert sands. @skylietravels yall something is happening why is the sahara dessert flooding…. #hurricane #tampahurricane #traveltok #climatechange #saharadesert #traveltips #solotravel #hurricanehelene #hurricanemilton ♬ space song sped up – Extratropical Storms Contributed To Sahara Desert Flood The rainfall within the past two months is more than what usually falls throughout the year. Summer rains are not unusual. However, the precipitation so late in the year may cause weather issues for the next several years. Meteorologists are calling the late summer rain “extratropical storms.” No one expects Biblical-level flooding, but the Sahara Desert flood is worth monitoring. Lakes that have been dry for years are now overflowing with accumulated water. The area may still suffer from drought, but these rainfalls have helped by refilling barren reservoirs. Overall, the area needed water, but they could have done without the damage caused by the deluge. Please share if you found this interesting.
