ISIS Smuggling Nukes Into U.S. Through Mexico

by JASmius



Ladies and gentlemen, if they're "suggesting" that intention, it's safe to say they're already doing it:

The Islamic State is using the latest issue of its propaganda magazine Dabiq to pose the "far-fetched" hypothetical of purchasing its [second] nuclear weapon from Pakistan within a year and getting it into the United States through the porous southern border.

The terrorists raise the issue in an op-ed piece entitled "The Perfect Storm" that it attributes to John Cantlie, the British photojournalist whom ISIS took hostage in November 2012, the Independent reports.

Cantlie has since appeared in many of the group's propaganda videos.

Here are the key sections of the piece, according to the Independent Journal Review:

"Let me throw a hypothetical operation onto the table. The Islamic State has billions of dollars in the bank, so they call on their wilayah (Province) in Pakistan to purchase a nuclear device through weapons dealers with links to corrupt officials in the region. The weapon is then transported overland until it makes it to Libya, where the mujahidin move it south to Nigeria.

"Drug shipments from Colombia bound for Europe pass through West Africa, so moving other types of contraband from East to West is just as possible. The nuke and accompanying mujahidin arrive on the shorelines of South America and are transported through the porous borders of Central America before arriving in Mexico and up to the border with the United States.

"From there it’s a quick hop through a smuggling tunnel and hey presto, they’re mingling with another [twenty] million 'illegal' aliens in America with a nuclear bomb in the trunk."

"Far fetched scenario" or standard operating procedure?  We know ISIS has the "billions in the bank".  We know they're not having to spend anything to acquire tanks, rocket launchers, missile systems, anti-aircraft systems, etc. since the Obama Regime is providing them generous conventional military assistance through the laughable "Iraqi Army". We know that ISIS is taking over Afghanistan, so it's hardly any kind of stretch to see them conquering Pakistan, given the inroads al Qaeda has already made there, much less acquiring nuclear warheads from the Pakistanis.  The drug cartels' supply lines are entirely plausible.  Would the jihadists know how to safely handle, contain, and transport a nuclear device?  Remember those "billions in the bank"?  That can buy all the expertise they would need.  And, of course, we know that our southern border is not just "porous," but actively non-existent.

So, if the Islamic State is not already deploying nuclear warheads in large American population centers, there is absolutely nothing preventing them from doing so.  And because there's absolutely nothing preventing them from doing so, there's no reason to suppose that they aren't already deploying nuclear warheads in large American population centers.  The bottom line is, ISIS doesn't think small, they don't just think big, they think biggest.

And remember: All it would really take is one mushroom cloud over Manhattan or Washington, D.C. or Chicago or Los Angeles or wherever....



....to genuinely "change everything".

And not for the better.
