From the outset our research has pointed in the direction that Omar Mateen was committing an act of Jihad terrorism targeting a facility/venue he knew well, Pulse Nightclub.   Nothing about the event, or the preparatory behavior prior to the attack, held the appearance of a pure suicide mission.  The possibility of getting caught or killed obviously part of the process – but the preferred objective was to exit and escape.

Early on it simply appeared he intended to walk in, shoot and kill as many as possible, and then exit within less than a minute.  His plan was foiled by the off-duty security (fully uniformed police officer) who engaged Mateen and forced his way back into the nightclub.
As further evidence toward that end it is revealed Mateen pre-purchased three airline tickets for himself, his wife and his son the day prior to the shooting for use the day following the shooting.

Earlier we shared that Michael Steven Sandford (*note* could be alias) had been planning to assassinate Donald Trump for over a year after arrival from the United Kingdom, and driving across the country.  However, as an outcome of his court appearance today we discover he was also in the United States illegally:

LAS VEGAS  –  The man facing charges for attempting to grab a police officer’s gun so he could allegedly shoot candidate Donald Trump is in the United States illegally.
He had overstayed his visa from the United Kingdom.  That information came out during his arraignment at U.S. District Court Monday afternoon. (more…)

This is the second specific assassination attempt on the life of Donald Trump.  If various ideological people were attempting to kill Hillary Clinton this would be leading the news coverage 24/7 with background stories on every aspect of the assassin’s life and family. 
Unfortunately, the visibility of assassination attempts against Donald Trump do not benefit the media leftist narrative.  According to the Associated Press report:
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A man arrested at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas told authorities he tried to grab an officer’s gun so he could kill the candidate, according to federal authorities.

A complaint [full embedded pdf below] filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Nevada charges Michael Steven Sandford with an act of violence on restricted grounds. He’s expected to appear in court on Monday afternoon.
Authorities said Sandford went to a Trump rally on Saturday at the Treasure Island Casino and approached a Las Vegas police officer to say he wanted an autograph from Trump. The report says Sandford grabbed the handle of an officer’s gun in an attempt to remove it, and was arrested. (more…)

….And they need to hide it, big time.

It is not accidental that Loretta Lynch was featured on all five major broadcasts for the Sunday news cycle (Topic Orlando Terrorism).   You might well remember the last time a key administration official named Susan Rice met with an almost identical Sunday schedule (Topic Benghazi Terrorism).

General Lynch’s Sunday talk visibility is yet another example of the Obama administration’s risk management reference manual, The Obfuscation Playbook.
The difference between Rice’s 2012 appearance and Lynch’s 2016 version is: this time we know the play.  We also know exactly what the administration risk is, even IF the media won’t discuss it, and we’ll explain below.
There is a transparent rift within the FBI community;  an internal fight within our own systems of legal / investigative governance and the White House.   The numerous leaks from within the FBI investigation of Orlando are highlighting the internal war.  It takes a cabinet member to try and create the strongest position for the White House.

In the aftermath of the Orlando Terrorist Attack only one candidate, Donald Trump, has expressed moral clarity on the substantive issue.  In a speech delivered earlier this week a singular sentence stands out against all others:

[…]  America must unite the whole civilized world in the fight against Islamic terrorism, just like we did against communism in the Cold War… (more)

That sentence identifies a global vacuum.  A missing element just too uncomfortable for President Obama and liberal leaders within multiple Western nations to acknowledge.  From that sentence a clear policy is born.  A missing policy; missing leadership.

I predict that in the coming weeks/months candidate Hillary Clinton and President Obama will be forced to accept and adopt the clarity within Donald Trump’s position.  They’ll simply have to.  Because if they don’t, the voters they need will abandon them in droves.
Neither Hillary Clinton, nor President Obama are willing to admit the transparently obvious: there is a threat from Islamic Terrorism, that directly endangers the core liberal values carried by their own base constituency. (more…)

Even CIA Director John Brennan, a complete Obama acolyte, is admitting the infiltration risks from ISIS are increasing and concerning. Video prompted to 03:13 watch through 4:30:

According to information from the office of Senator Ron Johnson (Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs) terrorist Omar Mateen was posting messages to social media in the time between the initial attack and the time SWAT teams rushed the Pulse nightclub:

“I pledge my alliance to (ISIS leader) abu bakr al Baghdadi … may Allah accept me”.

“The real muslims will never accept the filthy ways of the west” …“You kill innocent women and children by doing us airstrikes … now taste the Islamic state vengeance.”

Finally.  It’s taken three days, we’ve been pounding the connections, and now media reports the FBI is in San Francisco to interview Ekbal Zahi.  Zahi is the mother of Noor Sahi Salman, terrorist Omar Mateen’s wife.
There are very similar circumstances between the events, travels and behaviors of Omar Matten, his wife Noor Salman and the San Bernardino terrorists Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik.

The connections include similar travel (Saudi Arabia), social Islam / Mosque connected relationships, and sham marriages to gain U.S. entry for spouses who become ex-spouses after minimum time for residency retention.  In essence, knowledge of -and exploitation of- ridiculously uncontrolled immigration avenues.
San Francisco is the link that connects terrorist Mateen and terrorist Farook.  See if any of this NBC report on Omar/Noor, from San Francisco, rings a bell to the prior reporting of Syed/Tashfeen for you (bookmark for later reference):
(Via Bay News NBC)  […]  Noor Zahi Salman, 30, grew up in Rodeo, California, about 45 minutes away from San Francisco, is cooperating with the FBI but could still face criminal charges.

On Tuesday afternoon, three FBI agents visited the house she grew up in between 3 and 4 p.m., and where her mother still lives with her 14-year-old sister. Neighbors told NBC Bay Area they heard two women and a man say “FBI” when they knocked on the house next door. Video footage obtained by NBC Bay Area shows the agents leaving in their car.

CNN calls this: “The commander in chief’s fury, which seethed out of him in a stunning soliloquy on live television, amounted to a moment of historic significance: a president castigating one of the two people who could succeed him as beyond the constitutional and political norms of the nation itself.”
However, what’s more evident is how Donald Trump’s criticism of the weak and ineffective security policies of President Obama is directly on target.  The Orlando massacre is a visible outcome of the current president’s ineffective anti-terrorism policies.
Obama’s policies are in the sunlight; he is scared, diminished and lashing out:

The common sense America-First candidacy of Donald Trump is revealing the true dangers to ordinary Americans.  (more…)

Orlando terrorist Omar Mateen worked for G4S – a security company who provides services to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other agencies.
G4S also states on its website: “Every G4S security officer participates in a training program that far exceeds industry standards, becoming a specialist trained to both recognize and react to unique hazards of an assigned post.”
So let’s explore:

In 2007, [Mateen] was hired by G4S, a private security firm based in Jupiter. His assignment at the time of his death: working as a security guard at a gated retirement community in South Florida, the company reported.
However, before that, G4S assigned him, for a time, to the St. Lucie County Courthouse in Fort Pierce, a gig that ended in 2013, according to court Administrator Thomas Genung. –link–

County Courthouse security ended in 2013?
