A U.S. Army veteran from Texas, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, who was employed by Deloitte is the suspect in the New Year’s Day attack in New Orleans that killed at least 15 people and injured 30 more. Shamsud-Din Jabbar had an ISIS flag flying on the back of the truck he used to ram through crowded Bourbon Street as people were celebrating the New Year around 3:15 AM local time. Jabbar was subsequently killed in a shootout with police.
The driver of a Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside Donald Trump’s Las Vegas hotel hours later on New Year’s Day has been identified as Matthew Livelsberger, according to media reports. Both suspects are believed to have rented their vehicles from the carsharing company Turo, which brings up obvious questions as to these acts being connected. According to media reports, Matthew Livelsberger & Shamsud-Din Jabbar allegedly served at the same military base.
Significantly– the FBI, the police, and especially president Joe Biden, have nothing to say to the American people on this– all while discouraging the public from coming to their own conclusions. The corporate news media is focusing on the lack of dump trucks as barricades in New Orleans, which possibly could have prevented a vehicle from ramming through the crowd. Meanwhile, virtually zero questions are being critically pursued into the origins of this ISIS terrorism.
In other words, terrorism that is likely the byproduct of US imperialism, is to be used as a future pretext for martial law against the American population. The FBI’s job is to be a black hole, by sucking in all facts & information regarding the events, while revealing nothing (or as little as possible) to the public. The FBI has been expert at this since the JFK assassination.
ISIS relies on US intelligence to covertly supply them with its weaponry, including armor, guns, surface-to-air missiles, and even some aircraft. For example, US-made TOW anti-tank missiles have been supplied by the United States and Saudi Arabia to the Free Syrian Army (ISIS) which finally toppled Syrian president Bashar al-Assad last month.
The well known connections of US intelligence to ISIS/Al Qaeda goes back to the Afghan mujahideen (always referred to as ‘rebels’ in the bourgeois media), who in 1979, who were organized, funded & armed to fight against the Soviet Union’s military invasion of that country. Zbigniew Brzezinski, the former National Security Advisor of the US under Jimmy Carter, wanted to give the USSR their own Vietnam War, bogging the Russians down in an unwinnable conflict in order to bleed the decaying Soviet regime white. This was US Cold War policy, and it’s the current objective in Ukraine.
After the USSR was forced to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan in 1989, this mujahideen was reorganized into Al-Qaeda under the local leadership of Osama bin Laden, a high-level US intelligence asset. Bin Laden was an asset to US intelligence up until the 9/11 attacks, which still haven’t been seriously explained to the American people.
The ensuing US “war on terror” made Osama bin-Laden a wanted man globally, but he still remained under the protective umbrella of US intelligence, hiding in Pakistan (a strong regional ally of the US) for years until his assassination by a US special forces death squad in 2011.
At this point politically, US president Barack Obama had made the foreign policy shift from “war on terror” to his “pivot to China”. Syria was seen as “low hanging fruit” to be plundered by US imperialism with the aid of Islamic terrorist militias, and this was when Al Qaeda became known as ISIS. Their militias, with overt & covert US support, seized key Syrian oil fields and destroyed the Syrian economy, while terrorizing the general population, all in the name of regime change under the banner of “humanitarian intervention”. These ISIS/Al Qaeda/HTS terrorists are often paid in crypto-currency by US intelligence agencies, which is cheap & untraceable.
A review of this history & these facts provides the necessary context for understanding the terrorist actions in New Orleans & Las Vegas on New Year’s Day 2025. Any “investigation” that avoids this is an official whitewash of ‘blowback’ terrorism. The US government spends over a trillion dollars a year on its military, and yet ISIS/Al Qaeda is stronger than ever, and that is no coincidence.
The vast majority of these domestic terrorist acts are committed by people with US military training, which is no coincidence either. When politicians (& Elon Musk) claim, “all options are on the table” for budget cutting, they never mention the military as a possibility, which also is no coincidence. Terrorism & police state spending dovetail with the interests of the ruling class, which wants the population to be subdued into accepting US state propaganda as fact (at gunpoint if necessary) in order to maintain the existing levels of social inequality.
Wrap-up: If you’re a regular reader here then you’re familiar with my discussions the Black Hand and its murky nature. US intelligence & Wall Street finance are the murky forces behind terrorism. They control the mass media who are willing sheep. The NBC Evening News on January 1, 2025 was another example of this. Last night’s broadcast was an extended special edition devoted to propagandizing these terror attacks, as Jimmy Carter’s death (endlessly reported up until then) was dropped.
After 30 minutes of Lester Holt insisting the FBI wasn’t in charge of these investigations, several NBC on-site reporters revealed the opposite, finally forcing Lester Holt to mumble an admission that the FBI was indeed in charge. Anyone with an ounce of political brains already knew this, and that’s when discerning viewers turn off the TV and get onto the internet & social media.
Major news outlets from NBC & Fox to the New York Times & the Wall Street Journal normally have their stories spoonfed to them through political & corporate information gatekeepers. White House & Congressional “contacts, sources”, and so forth… The White House typically tells the press what today’s story is and that’s how the news is made. Any investigative reporting outside those parameters is frowned upon & usually censored.
But when an unexpected event happens, such as these apparently-related New Year’s terror attacks, the mass media is always behind on the story because they are so used to having the entire narrative handed to them. When they have to investigate and provide analysis of a live event, right now, even though they have vast resources to pull from, they are inevitably far behind any serious local reporting & social media updates.
The corporate ideology of capitalism as an unquestionable force of good, blinds any serious analysis from its institutions. Social media is how most people find out what’s going on and share it today. It’s also how these-type events are seriously investigated, as “official” agencies will be hushed & coerced into silence by the Black Hand which feeds them. Just like everything else from JFK to 9/11, it’s murky murky.
The blood-soaked Saudi monarchy, the second-most important ally of US imperialism in the Middle East, provides the rank-and-file raw material for Al Qaeda, ISIS, or whatever you want to call it. These reactionary Islamic fanatics know they must bow to Israel, US imperialism’s most important ally in the Middle East. All these governments & intelligence agencies coordinate these conflicts in their interests, which don’t always coincide to say the least.
And that’s the danger of state-sponsored terrorism which isn’t acknowledged to the public due to “national security”, it can strike anywhere at any time, and ultimately it can lead to an extinction event for humanity. The mass media doesn’t care, so it’s up to the people on social media who do care to inform & lead themselves.
