Welcome Home Troops
On the national scene-
How are terrorists kept out while heroin comes in?
Why hasn’t the US Department of Homeland Security been able to stop cocaine and heroin from crossing into the US?

The people who move heroin into N. America do so free of screening, scanning, pat downs, special IDs, inspection of personal items, etc.
If the federal government has the crime fighting skills to wipe out all major terror strikes since 911- why wouldn’t they use those skills to shut down other categories of violent crimes?
War on terror crime fighting tactics, the surveillance society, fusion centers, drones, license plate scanners, tracking cell phones, reading text messages- none of it appears to work to stop crimes like bank robbery or drug trafficking.
Hey VFW, Hey American Legion, Hey Joint Chiefs of Staff- love to get your take on all this.
Hey veterans- what’s going on here?
We all must do our part to keep the nation safe-
Video collection- DHS checkpoints
Urban Shield SWAT event- Preventing Terrorism Aim Of Operation ‘Urban Shield’
Preventing Terrorism?
It will be easy to spot an attempted strike. Expect the bad guys to be sloppy- the packages they send will look like they were put together by drunken 3rd graders, or Wile E Coyote.
On Washington’s Olympic Peninsula-
Border Patrol checkpoints came to Jefferson County, WA in 2008.
We are told the #1 US Border Patrol objective is to stop terrorists.
The US Border Patrol explains this objective at a local public forum- this YouTube video covers Border Patrol objectives at 3:50
At that same forum a lady asked:
“What is the penalty for not identifying oneself to federal agents at an internal, suspicionless checkpoint?”
US Border Patrol said they would call in the Sheriff when a person refused to identify themselves.
Sheriff says they will not respond to a non-emergency situation involving a person peaceably refusing to interact with federal agents.
Question about providing ID is at 0:35
Checkpoints ended here in 2008- possibly due to well informed citizens and local protests. Looks like they weren’t vital to national security after all.
War on Terror- credibility squandered.
