>Washington, D.C. – In extremely revealing testimony, director of the CIA John Brennan told the Senate intelligence committee Thursday that CIA has no evidence of a connection between Omar Mateen and the Islamic State
>Despite alleged claims made by the Orlando shooter during the massacre, as well as a chorus of media pundits and politicos that followed; including President Obama, and presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, Central Intelligence Agency head Brennan said the intelligence agency has not been “able to uncover any link” between Orlando killer Omar Mateen and the Islamic State (ISIS).
if that's true then why was the 911 tapes redacted?
what are they hiding?
Samuel Flores
At least I'm not a leaf or poo
Blake Walker
Yeah he's just a fucken nutso animal maggot scum garden variety homophobe slug
Hunter Murphy
it's obvious why the right is so wont to believe everything this guy and ISIS said is the Truth.
ISIS wouldn't be opportunistic like that.
This guy wasn't simply insane.
They speak the truth. Everyone else is lying.
Justin Young
Yea he swore allegiance to Hello Kitty don't you know
Blake Scott
>(((CIA)))
Anthony Price
This is retarded. Isn't the whole ISIS message to rise up and attack western infidels? They don't need to communicate directly for him to still be acting under their banner.
Christopher Richardson
ISIS encourages lone wolf attacks, what does this change exactly?
Zachary Wilson
So he didn't have Telegram installed on his phone. He seems too dumb to use it anyway.
Aaron Lewis
>mudslimes dont even need a direct connection to muder 50 people for isis
Thats even worse you mongrel
Jack Richardson
Isn't John Brennan that Catholics In Action assclown that is rumored to be a covert Islamic convert?
Except for the part where he pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. You realize that the info was available to us almost immediately, right? You can deny all you want but the truth of the matter is that he was working for ISIS.
Xavier Ross
So what? This actually makes it worst.
If isis didn't recruit him/direct him, and he chose out of his own to "Martry himself tobecome a "real muslim"
Then that means muslims are more aggressive without direction and will join something in itheir dying breaths.
This is terrifying and shows that every muslim is a terrorist.
Asher Edwards
So what they're saying is that ISIS' extremist ideology is dangerous whether or not you actually have contact with the Middle East.
Of course I don't believe any of this shit because of his profession and the mystery surrounding it.
Benjamin Davis
ISIS released a video two days ago praising him though...
Thomas Martin
In the state of Florida you can't release 911 tapes that have a "suspected" murder going on in the background. Shits weird
Anthony Jackson
came here to post this
Aiden Ramirez
And his wife was apparently a retard, in special ed classes which is why it wasn't a joint OP.
Reeks of shit. Hes gay shes retarded and no one is muslim. This is the beginning of tge end of free speech
Owen Johnson
why the fuck does it matter if he was connected to ISIS or not
He tried to tell people he was a member of Hezbollah and al Qaeda.
Then he pledged allegiance to ISIS.
If you know anything about Islamic terrorism, you'd know he didn't really know anything about Islamic terrorism.
Jaxson Martinez
This
They literally omitted anything incriminating to ISIS or Islam and pretended it never happened
Joshua Collins
He wasn't an ISIS member but he was still a jihadist who pledged loyalty to ISIS. Those concepts are not mutually exclusive.
Anthony Gonzalez
“All 19 high jackers? Where did they get their visas stamped before they came to this country to launch 9/11? They got their visas stamped in the CIA station in Jeda. And the second in command said ‘No way, absolutely we are not going to stamp those visas.’ And the fellow who was in charge, his name was John Brennan. He was the person who overrode those concerns and cautions and ordered those visas stamped in Jeda.”
Jace Perez
why the fuck does it matter if he was in ISIS or not
Gavin Brooks
Propaganda is communication When ISIS says in its videos and Twitter accounts to stay in the West and commit attacks that is an order to those who have joined ISIS in their minds
Thomas Kelly
TODAY IN NEWS WE ALREADY KNOW
AFTER THE BREAK OP IS A FAGGOT
James Bell
Or that it is all a shame. Our overlords expect the goyim to not know the difference.
Jonathan Roberts
>Pledges allegiance to ISIS >ISIS claims responsibility >"N-no! They're lying!"
Hunter Stewart
Because they want to make truth seem meaningless. Makes it easier to lie down the road.
Samuel Lewis
not as long as we are here. We will tag the whole country everywhere to continue free speech.
Fuck islam.
Landon Hill
His real connections wet to the white house and his imam who preached killing gays and pretty much anyone else who breaks or stands against sharia law
Oliver Carter
this
Why would ISIS capitalize on your willingness to believe them?
Jose Hill
Implying it's true, we can safely say all Muslims regardless of extremist connections are willing to mow down people they disagree with?
Cool!
Fuck Islam.
Leo Rogers
Why the fuck do they even try to defend islam?
Benjamin Ross
this they recruit sleeper cells
Cooper Campbell
ya I heard he was working for [omitted]
Jack Roberts
>3 fbi investigations >linked to terrorists >going to syria a lot >going to church of imam preaching kill gays >imam and mosque under investigation until hillary stopped it with her state department >threatened to kill florida sheriff >reported by gunstore for trying to buy bulk ammo and body armor >talked about attack day before on facebook >pledged loyalty to isis on 911 call the white house wants to censor >says he idolized the boston bombers >dad trying to run for president in middle east and says he supports taliban and alqeada
hurrrrrrrrrr not linked to terrorism n shiiiiet
Justin Baker
Wayne Madsen Report, on August 11, 2015, Madsen maintains there is “growing evidence that CIA’s John Brennan is a Wahhabist convert.”
Madsen lists the following tell-tale signs of Brennan’s conversion to Islam:
When Brennan, then Obama’s deputy national security adviser, was sworn in to head the CIA, “the Jesuit-educated former CIA officer opted to take the oath on a copy of the U.S. Constitution, not on the bible as every past CIA director, Christian and Jewish, had done.”
Brennan is the highest-ranking U.S. official to have ever visited the Islamic holy city of Mecca, a privilege reserved only for pious Muslims and special guests of the Saudi King, who is the “Guardian of the Two Shrines of Mecca and Medina.”
At the National Security Council and at the CIA, Brennan has forbidden the use of the term “jihadist” to describe Islamist terrorists, preferring instead the word “extremists.”
Colton Hernandez
>ISIS directly campaigns for western muslims to rise up and commit lone attacks on their countrymen. >Western muslim heeds call and murders 50 Americans while explicitly pledging his allegiance to ISIS. >No connection whatsoever
No way guys. ISIS is on their heels. The JV team. There is no terrorism problem. Just a gun control problem.
Eli Gomez
>ISIS: kill all infidels >Terrorist: I'm killing those infidels in the name of ISIS >CIA: We've found no relations between ISIS and the Terrorist.
Grayson Russell
Fuck, ninjaed
Parker Torres
Yeah, I don't get what's going on here.
It's like the DOJ is upset a faggot might be trying to make ISIS look bad. God forbid anyone get the idea that ISIS would even considering killing gays.
Jonathan Roberts
except the FBI found him to be categorically full of shit
the guy told all kinds of weird lies, like being related to Osama bin Laden. Are you choosing to believe that one, too?
Anthony Ross
>decide to go kill a bunch of kikes in 2016 >implying I wouldn't be associated with the Nazi party
Kayden Nguyen
A long time ago, in a galaxy far away, there lived the WORLDS BIGGEST FAGGOT AND HIS NAME WAS OP!!!!!
William White
>Then he pledged allegiance to ISIS. No, he didn't. He pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. He specifically named Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
That means he knew exactly what he was doing you dipshit.
Josiah Torres
>[omitted]
Blake Miller
i dont understand why in order for this to be islamic terrorism he has to be linked to isis
he drew inspiration from these groups. he attended a mosque that produced a suicide bomber in syria. he invoked islam in doing all this.
whether he is linked directly to ISIS is irrlelvant, he is an islamic terrorist.
Caleb Jones
>Still a muslim though OP BTFO
Henry Rogers
>reported several times by coworkers he is violent and wants to kill >highschool classmates described him as violent and wanting to kill >praised the 911 attacks and clapped as it happened >long history of violent acts and disciplinary actions in school >beat ex wife who said he was violent and wants to kill
>guy admits to being inspired by ISIS >b-but there's no direct link!
You don't have to have a direct link to be influenced to commit an act.
Nathan Walker
Isnt snopes run by a guy and his wife and their cat in some shit hole apartment?
Ryder Brown
>Person assigned to his position by Obama affirms Obama's stance
Benjamin Price
What I learned today:
If you want fast (You)s just put "Sup Forums BTFO" in your OP
Elijah Lewis
>today
Just remember to sage
Matthew Lopez
This is honestly worse in my mind. "Moderate" Muslims with no link to ISIS or terror cells carrying out shootings because of radicalization with no fucking direct command? That's way god damn worse. Even more so that this guy passed multiple psych evaluations at his job. He was not crazy. He knew exactly what he was doing. And he had no help. An idea was all it took to kill 49 and wound 53.
Robert Thompson
>Orlando Shooter Had NO Direct Connections to ISIS well no shit you fucking retard, thats how ISIS has been operating abroad.
if you don't understand that be a de facto member of ISIS all you have to do is swear alegiance to them, then you are part of the problem with fighting terrorism. ISIS called for lone wolf attacks in Ramadan and he answered the call.
Aiden Morales
C'mon guy, everyone know to be a muslim terrorist you have to have two sets of ids from both isis and aq, a koran signed by bin laden, a notarized infidel executioner certificate, a gold plated ak47, a bomb making phd from raqqa state (go camels!), and a closet full of tailored suicide vests to be considered an allegedly potential terrorist with absolutely no ties to the tolerant peaceful religion of islam
Thomas Gonzalez
This. He doesn't need direct orders. That's the whole point of ISIS' strategy.
Angel Gray
Let me get this straight. A muslim kills a bunch of gay people because muslims hate gays and somehow the fact that might also be gay somehow makes it not muslim terrorism? And even if he's not part of ISIS, isn't the fact that he's a lone muslim terrorist potentially MORE of a problem because now it means we have a justified reason to be wary of all of them as opposed to just the organized ones? Fuck this shit.
Angel Clark
Snopes is basically tabloid journalism and lacks credible representation.
Liam Cox
You forgot sodomizing your 6-years old sister
Nolan Robinson
of course he didnt. isis called for attacks by its supporters in the west. doesnt mean they speak to every individual, retard
Lincoln Ortiz
CIA director is a fucking muslim convert
Levi Long
Yeah he swore he allegiance to them but wasn't in contact.
Carter Gutierrez
> Thursday that CIA has no evidence of a connection between Omar Mateen and the Islamic State
aka SHIT EVERYONE ALREADY KNEW. He wasn't an ISIS member or affiliate, he was just inspired by them.
Ethan Parker
considering how inbred muslims are, i wouldn't be surprised if he was related to bin laden.
Aiden Russell
>The free thought project >Credible source
You should have died along with those fags in Orlando
Isaiah Nelson
You tard. Obviously he didn't. He's a small fish. Doesn't mean he didn't do this inspired by isis or in the name if them.
Dominic Fisher
it's because it makes you sound like a retard, retard
Levi Jones
But I'm a free thinker!
Nathan Miller
>Direct
All he did was help import thousands of Muslims for his job, premeditate the slaughter of American citizens, carry out the act, and swear his allegiance to the Islamic State.
He didn't get direct help, sure. But he didn't need it. That's how Islamic Terrorism woks OP.
You have to go back.
Luis Allen
regardless of them being in contact with mateen they gave it their approval
Blake Flores
How is that a bombshell? No one thought he had a direct connection to ISIS.
He's still an Islamic terrorist.
Logan Allen
So the 911 call was made by who?
Sebastian Bell
this again. unless you are directly linked to the nazis, you cant be radicalized by those ideals.
so...inconclusion, Sup Forums cant be racist unless you are directly in the kkk
Jeremiah Morris
I don't get it, isn't it worse? It just means (((you))) can get radicalized out of nowhere. That guy didn't have a clear psychiatric illness, just a moment of weakness. And...
Jaxon Mitchell
Well you see [omitted] made the call, and mentioned [omitted] during, so [omitted] isn't responsible. (in Arabic)
Ayden Allen
The guy called 911 and swore allegiance to kebab al'akhbari or whatever that leaders name is.
Now go die in a ditch for trying to make politics of 50 valuable members of the alt-right comunitys death, you shameless piece of trash.
This is just narrative shifting. Omar was part of ISIS's "grassroots" supporters.
Brayden Ross
>Mateen had no direct connection to ISIS and was merely claiming an ideological association and thus it is an inspired crime rather than a directed one literally everyone has been saying that from the beginning
Nathan James
There are no lone wolves. Islam is responsible for these murders.
Christian Harris
Wouldn't that be worse if there is no connect
I mean it just shows Islamic State doesn't need to recruit people or have them go to Iraq or Syria to carry out attacks.
Would also mean it could be harder to track anyone wanting to carry out an attack.
Chase Robinson

Jose Hall
I thought everyone thought he was just some wannabe and ISIS took credit because lolwhynot?
the motherfucker said he did it for ISIS and they took credit
Matthew Hill
If he was a sleeper agent for IS then that is no surprise. Doesn't mean he wasn't a radical Islamist that supported IS though and his actions speak louder than a CIA chief's words.
Austin Richardson
Nice bait, they have said repeatedly that there is no "direct" link while at the same time also saying that he absorbed a lot of radical Islamic ideals from the internet. It's hilarious how desparate they are to promote this "religion" of peace narrative
