When Humanitarian Aid Is Diverted to Terrorist Camps United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) tents, educational materials, and other humanitarian supplies intended to shelter and support vulnerable Afghan children and families are instead being diverted to Al-Qaeda and Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) camps, where they are used during terrorist training exercises. Likewise, World Food Programme (WFP) emergency food assistance intended to feed impoverished Afghans and displaced refugees is being diverted to TTP and foreign fighter terrorist camps, sustaining the very organizations responsible for terrorizing the Afghan people and plotting against western interests. The international community funds these programs to feed hungry families, shelter displaced civilians, and educate children....NOT to support terrorist organizations. Every tent diverted to a terrorist camp is one less shelter for a family in need. Every shipment of food diverted to terrorists is one less meal for the children and families it was intended to feed. If humanitarian aid is consistently being diverted to terrorist organizations instead of the people it was intended to help, then we should be asking a simple question: WHY are we continuing to fund programs that terrorists are exploiting?! Is this what you want your U.S. taxpayer dollars used for? I sure as hell don't! Watch the video below and see the evidence for yourself.

Today, I put out a new episode in the Back to Benghazi series on The Watch Floor discussing the Libyans who came to our aid in the aftermath of the Benghazi attacks on September 12, 2012. In the episode, we briefly mention the 2014 attack on the Libyan Special Forces headquarters, carried out by many of the same terrorists who attacked us over the course of September 11–12, 2012. This separate ISIS video, produced at the time, includes the original operations plan for that assault. The plan centered on the adjacent Buhedima neighborhood, which the terrorists used as the staging area for their attack. It provides a rare look at the mindset behind the enemy’s operational strategy.

The Return of Hamza bin Laden Al-Qaeda released a video yesterday featuring its Emir, Hamza bin Laden, in footage that appears to have been recorded years after 2009, yet not a single major U.S. media outlet has reported on it. Ask yourself why. This video was released by al-Qaeda's central media outlet, As-Sahab and shows Hamza alongside Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri. Accompanying the video is a nasheed performed by an al-Qaeda vocalist, reciting a poetry elegy written by Sheikh Abu Hafs al-Mauritani aka Mahfouz Ould al-Walid, the former mufti and Shura Council member of al-Qaeda, mourning Sheikh Osama bin Laden. You can clearly see Hamza bin Laden at 5:46. And by the way, he appears identical to the best image of Hamza that I obtained within the last couple years, the image I was suppose to show in-person to the National Security Council last February 2025 but my meeting was canceled by Sebastian Gorka. He even told some serving at the NSC that I was on drugs to stop them from seeing my evidence on Hamza. For years, the government and its think tank allies have told the public that this threat was gone. They have purposely lied to you. The evidence tells a different story. Consider this a wake-up call. The next generation of the bin Laden sons is coming to attack our homeland. Pay attention to what is being plotted and who is involved before events force the conversation that we have been preparing you for.

A Call to Local Action Against the Al-Qaeda Threat We’ve received too many reports that a number of state-wide fusion centers have NOT distributed the Office of the Director of National Intelligence's National Counterterrorism Center's (NCTC) al-Qaeda threat reporting to local law enforcement in their states. If agencies are unwilling to act, then everyday Americans must take responsibility to ensure these materials reach the people who need them. The scale and scope of the next attack on the U.S. homeland will be unlike anything we have seen before. You must take action now to prepare your community—because if you don't, no one else will. Please print the ODNI press release and the NCTC memo itself and deliver hard copies to nearby law enforcement offices, fire stations, and hospitals. Veteran communities will be among the most affected by al-Qaeda's upcoming plot after Washington, D.C., and the aviation sector. If you live in an area with a large veteran population, also be sure to alert city officials, churches, synagogues, schools, shopping centers, and public-transportation hubs as well. Thank you for doing the right thing for your communities. If this threat is not thwarted by our federal government, it falls to us to be prepared, to limit casualties in our hometowns, and to protect the people we love the most.

The Director of NCTC, @NCTCKent, put out a warning to law enforcement after the release of this video by AQAP’s leader Saad al-Awlaki, yet the FBI is still telling law enforcement in our local communities that al-Qaeda isn’t planning a homeland attack. In addition to this clip, this video goes on to threaten Congress and their family members and highlights a number of U.S. cities, including two in Pennsylvania—Philadelphia and Johnstown, a town with a 12% veteran population and just 20 minutes from the Flight 93 crash site. The end of the video showcases the Islamic Army and highlights there will be attackers on our soil from multiple locations, including the Maghreb, Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Someone is lying to you. It’s not NCTC. If you haven’t read their press release and memo here you go!

I've lived in Pakistan and seen these so-called 'peaceful' protesters firsthand. Trust me, those of us from Benghazi know a thing or two about the misrepresentation of 'peaceful protests.' Don't fall for the fake news. Even some of our own U.S. congresspeople are out here commenting on these protests without any actual ground truth. Here's a reality check: it's the protesters firing off tear gas. And no, 100 protesters in Islamabad weren’t shot and killed by the Pakistani military either. Just because it’s on the internet, and organizations like Amnesty International parrot it for donation dollars, doesn’t mean it’s true. Reminder that sharing false information only undermines the legitimacy of your own cause.

What to Watch for When You Fly: Doing Your Part to Keep America Safe As the holiday travel season approaches, every traveler can play a part in helping to thwart al-Qaeda’s upcoming aviation plot. Pre-attack surveillance often shows up days or weeks beforehand and then later in the season we will must shift our focus to watching for active threats. (1) Now through mid-December—watch for pre-attack surveillance and dry runs: -Passengers asking unusual or technical questions about crew, routes, or procedures. -Interest in sitting along the fuselage or near service areas. -Repeatedly accessing overhead bins or restrooms without reason; lingering near service carts. -Attempts to enter unauthorized areas of the airport or on the aircraft (including cockpit approaches). -Multiple boarding passes purchased under similar names/itineraries, often paid in cash. -Scouting trips on domestic routes to observe security routines. -Recording security and screening in procedures in the airport. -Testing crew responses by creating small disturbances or lingering near secured areas. -Anti-American remarks, isolating behavior, or attempts to avoid other passengers. -Unattended packages or bags — don’t ignore them. Please if you see something, say something. (2) Starting at the beginning of the Christmas travel season shift focus to signs of a possible suicide bomber or imminent attack: -Attempts to avoid or opt-out of the millimeter wave scanner. -Odd items on scanning belt including items like syringes; watch also inside the plane. -Lack of luggage or round trip travel. -Signs of drug use, particularly Ecstasy. -Erratic behavior or, conversely, an unnaturally calm, detached demeanor. -Visible physical stress signs: jugular vein extension (neck bulging), profuse sweating, clenched jaw, clenched fists, muscle rigidity, pacing. -Target fixation—obsessively looking at crew, flight deck doors, or passengers who appear to be law enforcement or military (“1,000-yard” stare). -Repeatedly touching or adjusting the same spot on clothing/body. -Watch for lines, bulging and sagging in clothing; attacker may also look at self in reflections throughout the airport for fear the bomb is visual. -Hyper sensitivity over an article of clothing on their body. -Visible burns, chemical marks, or other unexplained injuries on the skin. -Frequent self-reassuring gestures, whispered prayers, or profuse swearing combined with agitation. Trust your instincts. If something feels off, report it calmly to crew, airport security, or call 911 you may stop an attack before it ever begins. Note: The clip below related to the 2006 liquid bomb plot is a reminder that we haven’t seen attacks like these over the years because incredible humans have been stepped up and thwarted them. We need heroes like that again. Do your part!

If you want to see how heavily protected an al-Qaeda commander is when moved, look at Saif al-Adel’s transfer from Iran to Afghanistan in late spring 2022. This was a full security detail involving multiple vehicles. The U.S. government had countless opportunities to target Saif over the past several years in Afghanistan and had his exact location repeatedly. They did nothing, they chose not to act! Do not fall for this new phase of propaganda meant to shield him. His day is coming. Until then, the focus should remain on the upcoming attack on U.S. soil that he masterminded, not on al-Qaeda misinformation designed to muddy the waters about Iran. Prepare.

The Invisible Bomb: Why the Christmas Day 2009 Plot Still Matters As we approach the anniversary of the failed Christmas Day attack, it is worth revisiting the 2009 “underwear bomber” plot, not as a historical footnote, but as a case study in how layered security can still fail and why al-Qaeda has not abandoned this line of effort. What is often overlooked is that this device did not pass through a single checkpoint. The failed suicide bomber, Umar Faruq, trained overseas in Yemen, returned to Africa with the device, and then traveled internationally with it—passing through security screening at three separate airports before boarding the U.S.-bound flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on December 25, 2009. At no point was the device detected. This was not an isolated screening failure. It reflected systemic vulnerabilities shared across multiple aviation security environments at the time: reliance on detection technologies optimized for conventional threats, limited ability to identify non-metallic explosives concealed on the body, and inconsistent integration of behavioral indicators and intelligence. Each layer assumed the previous one had worked. The device ultimately failed due to malfunction NOT because the system succeeded. For al-Qaeda, this was not a dead end. It became an obsession. Within the organization, variations of this device have been referred to as the “hidden bomb”—what Western services describe as the “invisible bomb.” Making this concept work has remained a persistent objective, not because it is new, but because it exposed how close they came to bypassing aviation security entirely. And they plan to do it again. Importantly, this effort has never been viewed by al-Qaeda as separate from the individual who carried it out. The bomber himself has remained both a symbolic and operational priority, with repeated interest in freeing him from U.S. custody and using his sacrifice to motivate the newest generation of aviation suicide bombers. These objectives underscore how this plot is viewed internally: unfinished business, not a failure. Even without the more recent innovations al-Qaeda and its affiliates have pursued in materials, concealment, tradecraft, and binary detonation, the core concept behind the 2009 device would still challenge security systems under the right conditions. Aviation security has improved, but it remains probabilistic as it is not applied equally even across U.S. airports, nor is it absolute. It continues to rely on intelligence integration, human judgment, and institutional memory. The lesson of Christmas Day 2009 is not simply that the attack failed. It is how close it came to succeeding, slipping through security apparatuses across multiple countries, and why adversaries continue to probe, study, and refine methods that exploit gaps, seams, and vulnerabilities rather than attempting to overpower defenses. It’s a clear reminder that a single failure can lead to disaster. Terrorist organizations remember that. The risk is that we forget.

Jay Collins showed up ready to challenge Byron Donalds because Floridians don’t want weak candidates imposed on us anymore by the RNC. This is a state that faces real crises year after year including hurricanes, flooding, and recovery efforts that demand serious leadership. Ask yourself: when the next storm hits, is Byron Donalds the person you trust to be on the ground, leading and delivering for Florida? Heck, I’m not even convinced he’d even show up. No matter who your candidate is, it’s clear Byron is sinking fast. Watch for another fake poll to drop this week. Don’t let them play you for stupid….that’s exactly how we ended up with the useless representatives that we have on the Hill that we have to ask nicely to stop sexually assaulting people.

ISIS believes it has succeeded in its fight against the United States. The uncomfortable question isn’t whether that’s propaganda, it’s whether our decisions and failed policies have helped make that belief credible. If they measure victory by outlasting us, what happens if they’re right?

It’s Time to Shift Mindsets: Every Active Shooter Is a Potential Suicide Bomber Be wary of black puffer coats as they’re one of the easiest garments to conceal bombs inside, and Al-Qaeda has shown that repeatedly, including in their December 2023 video teasing their upcoming homeland plot. At least 10% of the attackers in the homeland plot are expected to be suicide bombers. That means you can’t treat an active shooter as “just” an active shooter anymore. You must assume he’s also a suicide bomber because that’s exactly how they designed it. Here are some basic SOPs for civilians and venue staff when a shooter may also be a suicide bomber: (1) Distance is survival: If a bomber is still mobile, the blast radius is the threat. Move away and create as much distance as possible: 30–50 feet minimum, 100+ if available. (2) Don’t rush to “help” the downed attacker: If the attacker drops, do not approach. Many vests use dead-man switches, pressure triggers, delayed chemical binaries, or can be remotely detonated by an overwatch. (3) Also, in the same vein, don’t dogpile an attacker: limit engagement to 1–3 responders to reduce the risk of additional casualties. Focus on controlling the attacker’s hands. The most critical element in any close-quarters fight is using firm, targeted restraint techniques to prevent detonation or access to a weapon. (4) Avoid chokepoints: Stairwells, elevators, and bottlenecks become kill zones in a blast. Keep moving toward open space and hard structure. (5) Expect secondary devices: Al-Qaeda doctrine routinely includes follow-on blasts. Treat abandoned bags, jackets, or dropped items as potential IEDs. (6) Clothing–behavior mismatch matters: Watch for heavy coats indoors or in warm climates, and for uneven weight distribution inside of clothing. Also, watch for attempts to evade placing items on belt scanners. (7) Choose hard cover, not concealment: Concrete, pillars, and engine blocks save lives. Drywall and furniture do not. (8) Communicate the right words: When calling 911, say: “Active shooter, possible suicide vest.” It triggers an immediate tactical shift in response. Law enforcement around the country has been preparing for this scenario, give them a leg up with concise reporting. (9) Control the flow. Push crowds away from the attacker, not toward him. Prevent panic surges toward gunfire as suicide bombers seek density. (10) After evacuation, don’t cluster. Most mass-casualty terrorist attacks anticipate crowds gathering outside. Move far and disperse; attackers often plan waves, and clustering makes you a target for a secondary strike. (11) Bombs may contain caustic chemicals. Stay clear of the area until a full HAZMAT assessment is completed. If you feel weak, dizzy, or unwell, seek medical evaluation immediately.

Housewives of the Taliban Update Since Taliban Supreme Leader Haibatullah Akhundzada still refuses to back down on erasing women’s faces from Afghan national identity cards, I guess it’s time to release more Taliban wives today. I’ve got a bit of history with Haibatullah myself. Back in 2009, the agency kept getting a flood of garbage reporting claiming Mullah Omar was hiding in Haibatullah’s mosque and madrassa outside Quetta. I knew Omar was in Afghanistan, but I still had to waste time running down that false lead. CIA ain’t always glamorous. What I did learn about Haibatullah, though, was far worse than harboring a one-eyed stooge. He preyed on poor families, promising to take their children for an education, only to funnel them into his madrassa-turned–suicide bomber factory. He exploited the most vulnerable, twisted their minds, and sent them out to kill others. That is who he is: a man who built his power base on the shattered lives of children. He did nothing else to become the leader of the Taliban but harm others, and you don’t need more than that to be a terrorist. Justice will come for him, and Haibatullah will burn. Until then, every lie he tells, every woman he silences, and every child he sacrifices will be remembered—because they all deserved the life he and other terrorists like him tried to steal from them. *We will pause our releases for a few hours today to direct energy and prayer toward the hundreds of victims of the earthquake in Afghanistan. The Taliban drove out the best first responders, doctors, and medics, leaving survivors at the mercy of terrorists running an illegitimate regime—one with little ability to govern and no capacity to provide real care or support. Tragically, the Taliban will no doubt find new ways to exploit this disaster for their own gain and at the expense of innocent others.
