Travis NicholsDecember 16, 2016 1:39 pm
If Trump is sworn in as president, there will be a terrorist attack on U.S. soil within his first 100 days. (Editors note: Or anytime early in his term; the results would be the same.) In response to this terrorism, pundits will say America must rally behind the president, that we must put the disputed election, the CIA intelligence of tampering, the bruised egos and hurt feelings behind us and come together to fight the outside threat. And well do it, and Trump will no longer be the unpopular buffoon in office with a giant asterisk and no mandate. He will be entrenched on the throne.
The attack will happen either because groups that have been plotting for years recognize the first days in the reign of a uniquely unqualified puppet of corporate interests as an opportunity (see here), or it will occur with the complicity of Trumps corporate interests and their shadowy intelligence services in order to shore up support for their uniquely unqualified stooge.
The daily revelations of Trumps ties to Russian intelligence services and business interests, as well as his appointment of Russian Order of Friendship winner Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, make this dire prediction plausible.
Why? Because its happened before.
In the fall of 1999, just months after then-unknown former FSB agent Vladimir Putin had been sworn in as prime minister of Russia, someone began bombing apartment buildings. Over the course of two terrible months, hundreds of people died in the series of explosions around the country and thousands were injured. As Masha Gessen tells it in her book The Man Without a Face, panic set in all over the country. The majority of the country assumed Chechen terrorists were responsible. Paranoia became the national mood and vigilante surveillance the national pastime. Into this chaos stepped Vladimir Putin.

Low yield tactical nuke... That's what it'll take or this'll look too much like 911

I'd wager that a trump property will be hit internationally. They are very soft targets

I am not a terrorist expert but I would attribute a large terrorist attack to a LIHOP or MIHOP operation. I do expect lone wolf attacks.

His thugs can stage events that will allow him to place draconian restrictions on free speech and assembly.

It's just not needed. ISIS could not wish for a better outcome than this election.

And they can blame it on Obama if it's so soon after Trump takes office.
We are about to go to war with several countries. Dim Don has promised war.

As a direct attack on his ego, that attack will start a bombing response that will escalate into special ops on the ground.
Bet me I'm wrong.

(3,585 posts)9. Ex KGB Lt. Col. Putin was director of the FSB in early 1999, and had left the FSB by fall of
1999, he was not the fall of 1999's "unknown former FSB agent".
