Of course he did, because the clowns in the U.S. government deny the existence of such a thing as Islamic jihad, and as a result of that denial, they have not the faintest, foggiest idea of what to look for when they are screening someone such as Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi. And any realistic and effective screening would immediately be scrapped and denounced as “Islamophobic.”
“Afghan charged in Election Day terror plot passed multiple screenings,” by Jeff Seldin, Voice of America, October 10, 2024:
The Afghan national charged in a plot to carry out an Election Day terror attack in the United States passed multiple background checks before being allowed to enter the country, U.S. officials told VOA.
FBI agents arrested Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on Monday, alleging he and a juvenile co-conspirator had been in contact with a recruiter for the Islamic State terror group and had been planning to die in a mass shooting.
Court documents also stated that Tawhedi hoped to relocate most of his family, including his wife and 1-year-old daughter, back to Afghanistan to live according to what he described as “pure Islam.”
However, U.S. officials, speaking to VOA on the condition of anonymity to discuss details of a case still under investigation, said Thursday that there were no indications Tawhedi was sympathetic to the Islamic State, also known as IS, ISIS or Daesh, either when he worked for the United States in Afghanistan or when he was screened immediately before to coming to the U.S. three years ago.
“Every Afghan being resettled in the United States undergoes a rigorous screening and vetting process, no matter which [U.S.] agency they worked with,” the official said.
“That process includes checking against a full range of relevant U.S. records and holdings,” the official added. “Tawhedi would not have been admitted to the United States had information of concern surfaced.”…

So much for vetting–I wonder what questions they actually asked him? Probably nothing salient.

Screenings….having a screen door opened for them….having them watch a short video on banking large sums of money on a computer screen…having them watch an action movie on a television screen…taking them to a movie where they can see something on the big screen. Perhaps something with Dolby sound….or is that too old and the new movies have a different all-around sound? something not offensive to mozlums.
It’s been reported that this terrorist was admitted on one of those special visas for the people who helped the military in afghanistan. And then, the story changed and he didn’t get that special visa thingy, he got in by another door. The screen one.
A GOP rep, Stephanie Bice, has asked the fbi questions about this terrorist, which they were about to answer, but then the doj shut them down.
She’s asked ‘what do they have to hide?’
And then there’s that terrorist who got in while bo was putting his dirty feet on the Oval Office desk. He “swore” he was telling the Truth. Later, after being caught, he said, “I sweared them, but I didn’t mean them.”
Never believe a mozlum unless they are threatening to commit an evil act.

“Clowns” is a very appropriate and accurate word used by Robert Spencer in this article. America was founded by a group of individuals who were anything but clowns. Indeed, the Founding Fathers of America have few equals and no superiors respecting a generation of wise men. But now, alas, we are led mostly by clowns or, as Aaron Rodgers recently opined, “a bunch of fucking bums.”
Take your pick. Either way it’s depressing—and ominous.

“a bunch of fucking bums”…I rather dere say : “a big bunch of gibbering wrecks” .

If you have ever flown El Al airlines, you would have seen what real airline security entails. Each passenger is asked a series of questions, and in a few minutes, the screeners are able to give the screenee, the go, no-go determination. And when they detain a questionable person, they are almost always correct in their assessment.
I personally believe that the screeners have prescreened the passenger list and know each passenger’s background before allowing them to board.

The key thing is that screeners talk to the passengers. In the US, the whole idea about profiling was that they just look at a person, which would then get tricky: how do you tell, say, an Indian from a Pakistani or Bangladeshi by just looking at them? Or even an Israeli vs an Arab? They talk to them, note from their accents where they’re likely from, and based on that, ask other relevant questions. End of the exercise – they know

I said to a mozlum once, you’re from pakistan and he got all hot under the collar and denied it. His face turned purple, his eyes bulged.
If you make them angry enough, they’ll show you quick just what they are all about. It doesn’t take much to make one angry.
OLD GUY says
We screen bugs at our borders that might harm American Agriculture better than people who want to harm our citizens.
somehistory says
Yes, Old Guy, that’s true.
Palladini says
This guy is a traitor and should be treated as such and be hung
࿗Infidel࿘ says
He’s an Afghan. After he’s served whatever sentence he gets, deport him back to Afghanistan, and tell the Taliban that he was someone who colluded w/ US forces against them. They’ll take care of him

Someone HELP. Read US dep of State: Global Compact for orderly & REGULAR migration: for migration around the world including USA, we commit to working with other countries to enhance cooperation…….our obligations under International law …while improving our domestic laws. (to fit) Done by Biden/Harris behind our backs. Did Congress vote on giving us away to the Globalist Cabal for perm open borders?? Did any know about this?? Border control agents and Union endorsed Trump today in AZ because of this. We really Will lose this Nation if Trump doesn’t win. No wonder they would lie, cheat, jail, assassinate for this steal from us. They know we will never agree. We cannot let this happen. People just do not even know?

Robert, the Bureau and other Agencies desperately need you back as a trainer. As an avid reader of your columns and fellow writers, 15 years + having lived in Israel 10years + it doesn’t take a mental giant to figure out that a Muslim can sufficiently embrace Islam anywhere unless he’s a fanatic!

“Relative of Afghan accused of terror plot in U.S. is charged with planning attacks in France”
“A family member of an Afghan national accused of planning to carry out a terrorist attack on Election Day in Oklahoma was charged in France on Saturday with plotting to conduct attacks on a French soccer match or shopping center, according to the Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s Office in Paris.
Both Afghans are believed to have wanted to carry out the operations on behalf of ISIS, the officials said. It is not known whether they planned to coordinate their attacks in the U.S. and France.
French officials said the Afghan charged there was 22 years old but declined to name him. They also did not identify two other individuals who were also taken into police custody in France for questioning and released. ”

A former Navy Seal calls this terrorist a ‘lone wolf.’ He should know better.
This terrorist had family, relatives; and besides that, he has the support of the barracks, the book of demon filth, and isis. No lone wolf.
