DHS reported Wyoming and Colorado as states where military families have reported being harassed by potential terror suspects. In fact, the FBI has issued an alert to local law enforcement regarding threats to the family of military, even though these incidents have gone largely unreported by mainstream media. AMI Global Security Anthony Mele I've been warning that terrorists will hit soft targets, and they most likely will not go for the big events with a lot of security. They will attack where they are not suspected. This is not just a war of inflicting mass casualties; it's a religious war. They are engaging in psychological warfare to force their enemy into submission of their ideology. They are just testing the waters right now in America; we haven't seen anything yet. This is something counter-terrorism professionals have been warning against for some time. Psychological warfare While much of the Western world is beginning to see firsthand what these people are capable of, America appears to still be the ostrich with its head in the sand. We carry on business as usual, as if the world is not at war. The American people in general are not prepared in any way for what is foreseen among the intelligence community. He continues, "Think about it: if you are deployed and you know your family is home alone, and you get word that these fanatics are targeting your family and threatening to kill, kidnap, and rape them, is your head going to be in the game? Are you going to be thinking about where you are or where your family is?"We have lost a sense of community and looking out for one another. We don't know our neighbors anymore. This is instrumental in maintaining a safe neighborhood and minimizing crimes. There is strength in numbers. We can't look to our governments to protect us from immediate threats. Even local enforcement can only do so much with response times. Those who believe their local, state or federal government is going to save them, are endangering themselves and could risk their lives with that kind of thinking. Mele says to have a neighborhood and family network made up of trusting people and have an action plan in case of emergencies. This could be criminal, natural disaster, etc. – just make sure there are plans in place and look out for one another. Get to know what is happening on a regular basis in your area so it will be easier and more noticeable when there is suspicious activity.Many Americans have their extras they cannot live without like fast food, eating out at restaurants, four-dollar coffee, a new car instead of a reliable used one. Or, instead of going to Disney, cut the budget and go somewhere closer to home. Most people don't think twice about car, health insurance, or homeowner's insurance. But none of that matters if you're not alive to enjoy it. How many people could fathom a day where there are multiple rapes and sexual assaults on the streets of a westernized society like Germany? Who would have thought just twenty years ago that individual military family members would be targeted for kidnapping or worse?http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/02/terrorists_in_america_engaging_in_psychological_warfare.html#ixzz40oSyIJsO @AmericanThinker on Twitter AmericanThinker on Facebook
