America Is Going to Be Targeted for a Massive Terrorist attack…Will You Be Ready?

It happened in Israel, and it happened in Moscow, and it’s going to happen here in America – again, and exponentially worse. The jihadis’ merciless war against the West – the Muslim fanatics are not so finicky as we are about our distinctions between the Jewish state, Russia, and us, the Great Satan – did not end when the regime media started covering other things. We may have fled Afghanistan and Libya and largely pulled out of Iraq, but that war is still going on. It’s going to go on until we decisively win it. But unfortunately, our ruling class refuses to decisively win it. In fact, our ruling class actively undermines attempts to win it. And it refuses to prepare for what’s coming.

That leaves you to prepare, you the individual, you and your small community, you and your red state. There is no one else who’s going to help you. There will be a bloodbath here in America. It will dwarf what happened on 9/11, it’ll dwarf what happened in Israel, it will be Moscow times 1000, and you’re going to be caught in the middle of it.

You have to make the decision to be ready for yourself, for your community, and perhaps for your state if you live in one that’s not run by leftist idiots. The enemy is not just coming; it is probably already here. Even Christopher Wray thinks so, and you know what it takes to get his attention away from arresting people taking selfies in the Rotunda or praying at abortion clinics. Our border has been pried wide open. There’s nothing to stop them from coming in.

And we know what they will do. It’s just hard to accept. Some of us see Muslim terrorists as insane because our minds don’t work like theirs. We don’t want our minds to work like theirs. How they think and how they act is completely alien to us. That’s because, as a culture, we’re narcissists, self-absorbed and utterly unable to imagine that other people not only are not like us but that they have no desire to be like us.

They desire to rape and murder us. How do we know this? Because of their track record of raping and murdering us.

Our ruling class refuses to acknowledge this and refuses to act. Instead, it actively subverts attempts to stop the jihad. It won’t shut our border. It opposes Israel’s plan to go in to the last infestation of Hamas and blow up its tunnel complexes. It won’t work effectively with the Russians to fight jihadis even though we share that enemy despite our other conflicts. Instead, it Norm McDonalds the situation, fearing that the most horrible consequence of thousands of Americans being murdered by Muslim fanatics is that people might start not liking Muslims.

The Primary Threat Now Is Civilization Jihad, and It’s on Our Own Shores

In my first article commemorating the eighteenth anniversary of 9/11, I discussed how, rather than dialing back immigration from the Middle East, we stepped on the gas pedal, bringing in millions more without any guarantee we can vet them. But there is the other half of the equation: The radicalism already on our shores and not aggressively investigated and prosecuted by the government.

There was a long-standing Muslim Brotherhood network already in this country in 2001 that was instrumental in inspiring and working with those behind the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993 as well as other terror attacks. Rather than going after that network with a vengeance after 9/11, our government still treated them as legitimate Muslim community outreach leaders. That problem is still huge today.

In 2009, the Holy Land Foundation terror-funding trial gave Americans a jolting dose of reality when it came out that so many of the leading charity and community organizations within the American Muslim community had significant ties to terror groups like Hamas. Federal Judge Jorge Solis implicated in the Holy Land Foundation terror trial the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), and the North American Islamic Trust. His 2009 order denied efforts by CAIR and other Muslim Brotherhood affiliates to have their names expunged from the trial record. Solis noted that “the Government has produced ample evidence to establish the associations of CAIR, ISNA and NAIT with HLF, the Islamic Association for Palestine (‘IAP’), and with Hamas.”

The judge cited a 1991 memorandum from a Muslim Brotherhood official explaining the organization’s goals in America as follows:

“Understanding the role of the Muslim Brotherhood in North America” is “a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

Rather than following up on this case at every level and actually prosecuting these groups while banishing the Muslim Brotherhood umbrella organizations from polite society, as with KKK, the government indulged their leaders as legitimate partners with the Muslim community. With so many new people coming from the Middle East every year, how do they even have a chance to assimilate into Americanism if these are the ones leading the community and are legitimized by government?

In 2010, counterterrorism expert Patrick Poole, who now writes for PJ Media, wrote a white paper on 10 jihadists living in America who were involved with terrorism and had ties to either the 9/11 group or terror cells that committed prior acts who were indulged by our government, in some cases even after 9/11. Perhaps the best-known example is Anwar al-Awlaki.

Two weeks after 9/11, according to FBI documents released in 2013, our government knew that al-Awlaki bought airline tickets for Mohammed Atta and two of the other hijackers. The flights were in the summer of 2001 and are thought to have been dry runs for the terror attacks. Yet, as Fox News reported in 2010, al-Awlaki was hosted by the military at the Pentagon several months after his disciples flew planes into it for the purpose of “outreach to the Muslim community”! Documents secured by Judicial Watch further confirmed that al-Awlaki was in the crosshairs of law enforcement several other times between 2002 and 2007 but was mysteriously released each time. He is suspected of directing the underwear bomber on Christmas 2009 and was in contact with Nidal Hassan, who murdered 13 people at Fort Hood a month before that. He was eventually killed in a drone strike in Yemen two years later.

Poole details nine other prominent Islamists in America who were treated as partners by our government and military, even though they were hooked up with the very cells responsible for the worst terrorist attacks. One such figure was Ali Mohamed, al Qaeda’s security chief, who was allowed to infiltrate our special forces, training soldiers in Arabic culture at Fort Bragg after being expelled from Egypt in the 1980s. While he was working with one of the most important parts of our military, according to Poole, “he was schooling U.S.-based Islamic militants in weapons, explosives and martial arts, including the cell responsible for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.” He also helped transport bin Laden from Afghanistan to Sudan, trained the Somali forces who attacked our soldiers in “Black Hawk Down,” helped arrange the cell responsible for the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, and arranged a U.S. fundraising tour for Ayman al-Zawahiri, the man who took over al Qaeda’s leadership after the death of bin Laden.

Another example cited by Poole is Sheikh Kifah Mustapha. He was personally named an unindicted coconspirator and fundraiser for Hamas in the Holy Land Foundation case. A year later, he was given a tour of O’Hare airport as a member of the FBI’s “Citizens Academy.”

How in the world did a man who should have been indicted on terror charges but is free to engage in treason to this day obtain a security clearance?

Earlier in 2010, Mustapha’s behavior was repugnant enough that the Illinois state police fired him as a chaplain. When Mustapha filed a lawsuit, with the help of the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated CAIR, even the Democrat attorney general was appalled by him. Attorney General Lisa Madigan filed a motion in federal court in 2013 noting that Mustapha “aided and abetted, or at least cheered for, terrorism” after he was caught on a video chanting “terrorist lyrics.”

In October 2010, Eli Lake reported in the Washington Times that then-director of the FBI Robert Mueller was asked about the inclusion of the Hamas cleric in the FBI’s training program, and he refused to answer the question, even as he admitted there are widespread terror links in the sphere of outreach groups the Bureau patronizes.

Indeed, the war on terror is primarily not overseas. It is on our own shores. We need not solve the vexing problems of tribal warfare in Afghanistan to secure our homeland. We need to simply open our eyes and not commit suicide. There’s a reason why our enemies rely on us “sabotaging its miserable house by their hands.” They rely on our own self-destruction for their success.

Parents Fight to Name Their Baby ‘Jihad’

France is known for its overly strict policing of baby names, but in the case of a couple trying to call their son ‘Jihad’, French authorities might have a point.

A French couple from the south west have been reported to authorities for calling their baby ‘Jihad’.

The couple, who come from the Toulouse suburb of Léguevin, tried to name their son ‘Jihad’ when he was born in August but the local town hall immediately alerted the public prosecutor to their controversial choice of name.

Given the choice of name and the fact France has been on heightened alert after a series of terror attacks by homegrown jihadists, the prosecutor may well decide to refer the case to the family court.

Judges may eventually decide to ban the parents from calling him Jihad. (Read more from “Parents Fight to Name Their Baby ‘Jihad'” HERE)

Terrifying: U.S. To Do ‘Unthinkable’ to 50 ‘Homegrown Jihadists’

News from a Congressional Research Service report that 50 “homegrown violent jihadists” are scheduled to be released in the United States between last January and the end of 2026 raises the obvious question of whether Americans have something to fear.

Among the incarcerated, according to the Bureau of Prisons, are 380 linked to international terrorism and 83 tied to domestic terrorism.

Unfortunately, more attention has been paid to incarcerating the jihadists than to what happens when they complete their sentences, the Associated Press noted in a story on the CRS report.

Robert Spencer, the director of Jihad Watch, said the flaw in the nation’s approach to the global jihad threat is illustrated in how terrorists are classified.

“These jihadis have been treated as criminals, and since their sentences for criminal activity are ending, they are going to be released,” he said. (Read more from “Terrifying: U.S. To Do ‘Unthinkable’ to 50 ‘Homegrown Jihadists'” HERE)

Ex-Gitmo Inmate Among 6 Detained From French Jihadi Network

A former Guantanamo Bay inmate is among six people from an alleged jihadi recruiting network linked to the Islamic State group who were detained on Tuesday, a French judicial source said.

Among the suspects arrested was Sabir Mahfouz Lahmar, who was freed from the U.S. detention center in Cuba in 2009 after France agreed to accept him, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the case.

Lahmar was one of six Algerians detained in Bosnia in 2001 on suspicion of plotting to bomb the U.S. embassy in Sarajevo. The Justice Department later backed off the allegations, but held the men at Guantanamo for years. Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy agreed to take him in April 2009, and Lahmar moved to Bordeaux later that year.

The Jihad Playbook: Why Terrorists Attack Children

The attack in Manchester, England, that has so far killed at least 19 and wounded at least 50 is ghastly. That it targeted children is as unforgivable as it is consistent with the jihadist playbook.

Conservative Review’s Jordan Schachtel has the full story from Monday night, and details are still coming out at the time of this writing.

Among of the bigger observations that has been made about this attack, however, is that it was waged against young adults, teenagers, and children attending a pop concert.

“All acts of terrorism are cowardly attacks on innocent people,” Prime Minister Teresa May said in a statement, “but this attack stands out for its appalling, sickening cowardice, deliberately targeting innocent, defenceless children and young people who should have been enjoying one of the most memorable nights of their lives.”

One such victim – eight-year-old Saffie-Rose Roussos – was confirmed dead by the Telegraph Tuesday afternoon.

During a Facebook live broadcast this morning, a viewer asked why terrorists would do such a thing. This is a more detailed response to that question.

Targeting the innocent is common; sadly, perhaps even commonplace by now. Targeting innocent youth brings the horror of the attack to a whole new level. But horror is the whole point, and it goes back decades. One only has to understand the playbook.

ISIS, its followers, and its sympathizers are ideological adherents to the jihadist tactical theories of Abu Bakr Naji. If you want to understand most of the political Left in America, you should start by reading Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals.” If you want to understand how Islamist terrorist operate, you should start with Naji’s “The Mastery of Savagery.”

In his book, the 20th-century Islamist theorist says that societies and nations of infidels should be brought to submission to Allah by a three-phase plan of savagery

These phases, as explained by Trump advisor Dr. Sebastian Gorka in 2015, are:

Vexation.

Spread savagery.

Administer savagery.

A talk Gorka gave at the Heritage Foundation in 2015 further illuminates how this strategy works. Here’s a synopsis of the lecture from the Institute of World Politics:

Phase 1, “vexation,” is comprised of operations to distract and exhaust the infidel enemy and his allies. It puts emphasis on smaller dramatic operations (as opposed to dramatic transnational attacks) and is used to prepare fighting units for phase 2. Phase 2, as Dr. Gorka explained, is the “spread savagery” stage, which ISIS has already begun. In this phase, leaders of the insurgency coordinate unconventional warfare to “dislodge” nations from local control. Phase 3, “administer savagery/consolidate/expand,” is designed to out-govern the government. In this phase, the leaders stabilize held areas, unite the population as a fighting community, and implement sharia law and government as a means to establish a base-state. This base-state is a new type of hybrid caliphate used to attack and expand into neighboring countries.

This is the big picture that it is so important to keep in mind when it comes to these sorts of terror attacks. It’s vexing enough for people in the West to worry whether a small explosion will make their trip to the market a fatal one. It’s more vexing when those same kinds of attacks become a monthly occurrence. And it’s even more vexing when those attacks are focused on a society’s children.

The bloodier and more horrific, the better. If ISIS is indeed responsible for this attack, as it has claimed, this is completely consistent with its tactics.

In short, that the Manchester bombing was aimed at killing children is shocking and barbaric indeed, but barbaric – for jihadists – is just part of the playbook. (For more from the author of “The Jihad Playbook: Why Terrorists Attack Children” please click HERE)

PC Kills: Will the West Ever Wake up From the Delusional Approach to Jihad?

A jihadist attacks individuals in the public square of a Western town.

The media refuses to provide a description of the attacker, reporting only the weapon he used.

A physical description of a man of African, South Asian, or Middle Eastern descent leaks out in the ensuing hours.

Law enforcement authorities deliver a press conference confirming the attacker’s Islamic name and stating that at this time, his motive is unclear.

Rumors on social media percolate about the man screaming “Allahu Akbar.”

Mainstream reporters ask local Muslim community leaders and neighbors about the attacker. They express universal shock, describing him as a decent man who might have been rough around the edges but never showed signs of being a terrorist. The man came from a middle-class family, liked playing video games with friends, and by all accounts lived a normal existence. Toward the end of the stories, those close to the attacker note that he had grown increasingly devout in recent years.

Bloggers begin to research and quickly find that the attacker was a member of a mosque led by an imam who had been recorded preaching hatred and violence toward the West. The attacker posted violent verses from the Quran and railed against the “Crusaders’” wars in the Levant on social media pages captured by screenshot before they were taken down. It emerges that he had spent months in the Middle East during recent years.

Several days later, law enforcement authorities report that the attacker in fact appears to have been a terrorist. But he had no direct ties to IS or Al-Qaeda, so there is no reason for alarm.

Politicians plead with the public that this man perverted one of the world’s great religions – Islam, “the religion of peace” – and that his acts were “non-Islamic.” They urge us all to come together in a shared belief in tolerance and diversity. Love trumps hate. Lone wolves are a fact of life, and their efforts only underscore the need for community engagement to “counter violent extremism.”

How many times are we in the West going to see the above script play out before something changes?

How long will we live a naïve fantasy in which we act as if all is well as the global jihadist movement metastasizes, bringing the violent murder of infidels to our shores?

If the murder of 3,000 innocents on American soil has not caused the West to openly and honestly examine who the enemy is and what animates him, and to develop a comprehensive strategy that mobilizes all of our resources and capabilities to defeat him, do we expect anything to change the next time we experience a mass attack?

Meanwhile, those who do understand the enemy are dismissed as cranks or called bigots. Those who assert that jihad is the motive – that violent subversion with the goal of world domination is justified by core Islamic texts, as the jihadists themselves clearly illustrate – are told to pipe down.

If you offend by speaking truth, you will cause violence. Shut up, and maybe you can keep your head.

Government service predicated on an understanding of the theopolitical Islamic supremacism that animates jihadists is simply out of the question. Heaven forbid that national security and foreign policy officials have any understanding of the Sharia law that both de facto and de jure governs the lives of hundreds of millions of people worldwide.

What will it take for the West to flip this script?

To date, murder, bloodshed, and fear abound. In spite of that fact, much of the West would rather cling to a narrative that makes it feel good about itself than recognize the reality of a global jihadist menace that threatens its very survival. This insane delusion will continue to have fatal consequences until we wake up.

Meet the Shady Terror Supporter Welcomed by Georgetown University With Open Arms

Is a prominent academic institution empowering Islamic despots to propagandize college students?

Georgetown University’s satellite campus in Doha, Qatar recently hosted a man convicted of aiding and abetting a terrorist group Tuesday evening for a talk on “Youth In The Middle East.”

Sami Al-Arian, who spoke Tuesday, has reportedly called for Islamic warfare and has encouraged suicide bombings in the name of God. Nonetheless, Georgetown gave the Kuwait-born alleged terror mastermind a prominent platform, describing him as a “civil rights activist.”

The Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) notes that Al-Arian is a board member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), a U.S.-designated terrorist group. Founded in 1979, the jihadist group is committed to the destruction of Israel through warfare. Considered even more radical than the terror group Hamas, it is widely believed that most of the group’s funding comes from Iran.

Reached for comment, IPT President Steven Emerson told CR he was concerned Georgetown would allow a man convicted of aiding terrorism “who still spouts the same evil and poisonous ideology (as) when he ran the Islamic Jihad” to speak on campus. He further described it as “one of the most hideous things” that an institution of higher learning could do, as it “represent[s] the core fundamental moral values it intends to impart to its students.”

In 1995, following a suicide attack that killed 19 Israelis, Al-Arian reached out to a Kuwaiti politician to solicit funds for more terror operations. Al-Arian said, according to IPT:

“The latest operation, carried out by the two mujahideen who were martyred for the sake of God, is the best guide and witness to what the believing few can do in the face of Arab and Islamic collapse at the heels of the Zionist enemy.”

He continued:

“I call upon you to try to extend true support of the jihad effort in Palestine so that operations such as these can continue, so that the people do not lose faith in Islam and its representatives.”

Al-Arian was deported in 2015 as part of his 2006 plea agreement, in which he pled guilty to providing services to Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Despite this guilty plea, Georgetown makes no mention of Al-Arian’s nefarious activities. The Georgetown profile whitewashes his extremism:

“Al-Arian is a prominent Palestinian human rights advocate and community leader. While working as a tenured professor of computer science … he was pursued by the U.S. government on various charges, resulting in a prolonged legal battle over which he eventually prevailed. After years in detention, solitary confinement, and under house arrest, Al-Arian relocated to Turkey in 2015.”

So how does Al-Arian get invited to speak at Georgetown Doha? To start, Al-Arian’s son, Abdullah, is an assistant professor there.

But the school’s Middle East hub is not its only location accused of promoting extremism.

Georgetown’s main campus in Washington, D.C. has an entire campus institution funded by a $20 million dollar donation from Saudi Arabia: the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding.

“Georgetown has literally sold its soul to the devil — to terrorist funding ‘charities,’ to rich propagandists for the Muslim Brotherhood which built an entire wing at Georgetown in DC to propagate the values and beliefs of groups like Hamas and has been all too willing to form collaborative alliances with countries like Qatar,” Emerson commented, adding, “which is the largest state financial supporter of Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS.”

Several professors at Georgetown’s D.C. campus have run into controversy of their own.

John Esposito, a renowned professor there, is affiliated with at least half a dozen groups connected to the Muslim Brotherhood. Additionally, when an alleged Muslim Brotherhood delegation came to visit the United States in 2015, Georgetown “organized and funded” the trip, according to the State Department.

Jonathan Brown, Al-Arian’s son-in-law and an Islamic studies professor at Georgetown, also is accused of recently endorsing rape and slavery in a February lecture on “Islam and The Problem of Slavery.”

By placing a man who may have led a Palestinian terror cell in front of unassuming college students, Georgetown has acted grossly irresponsible in empowering the forces of evil.

Georgetown University did not respond to a request for comment. (For more from the author of “Meet the Shady Terror Supporter Welcomed by Georgetown University With Open Arms” please click HERE)

6 Months After the Orlando Attack, Has the FBI Forgotten About the Terrorist’s Wife?

Six months ago, 29-year-old Omar Mateen walked into the Pulse nightclub in Orlando and committed the deadliest single-shooter mass shooting in American history.

The ISIS-inspired Mateen — born in New York to Afgan parents — stormed into the LGBT club on June 12 and massacred 49 people, wounding 53 more.

Evidence remains that his second wife and now-widow, Noor Salman, was an accomplice to the crime. Yet, she remains free and is believed to be in hiding somewhere in the United States.

For reasons unclear, federal authorities have not yet pressed charges against Salman and have kept the American people in the dark concerning this case since June.

Here’s what we know about the Palestinian-born Salman’s ties to the worst terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11.

Before the attack

Before the shooting, Salman reportedly drove with her husband all the way to Orlando — an hour drive from their home in Fort Pierce — to case several sites. That included the Pulse nightclub, she admitted to the FBI in the aftermath of the attacks.

At around the same timeframe, she was with Mateen when he stocked up on ammunition. Prior to the jihad at Pulse nightclub, Mateen added Salman to his life-insurance policy and made sure she had access to his bank accounts, additional reporting states.

The night of terror

Salman, 30, reportedly told the FBI that on the night of the attack that she feared her husband would do something horrible. But she did not alert authorities.

Moreover, Mateen specifically told his wife he was going to “carry out a jihadist attack.” Salman, however, has denied any prior knowledge of the Orlando plot.

“FBI investigators don’t believe Noor Salman was a co-conspirator in the attack that killed 49 people Sunday morning at Pulse,” CNN reported.

After the attack

Noor Salman reappeared in public view a few days later. With a grey sweater pulled over her face, she walked into the home she shared with Mateen and their 3-year-old son to gather their belongings.

Local news outlet WFTV reported on June 14 that Salman could be on the verge of arrest and charged as an accessory to the crime, but that arrest never happened.

On June 20, Attorney General Loretta Lynch shockingly revealed that she had no idea about Salman’s whereabouts. “I believe she was going to travel but I do not exactly know her location now,” Lynch stated. Her statement led to speculation that Salman had fled the country for Jordan or the West Bank. But it appears she is still somewhere in the United States.

The interview

Noor Salman broke her long silence in an exclusive interview with The New York Times on Nov. 1.

“She has moved three times since the attack, hoping to avoid the news media, and asked that her current location not be disclosed,” the Times story, with a dateline of “Washington,” reported.

Salman still denies any involvement or advance knowledge of the jihadi onslaught. That is in direct conflict with previous reports.

“A law enforcement official told ABC News that she may have known something about the incident in advance but claims she tried to talk him out of the assault,” ABCNews.com reported on June 14.

She admitted in the NYT interview she knew Mateen had shown increasing signs of radicalization. Officials who secured his electronic records said he would frequently watch sermons by the late al Qaeda preacher Anwar Al Awlaki, and ISIS propaganda.

The New York Times positions Salman as a victim of Mateen’s domestic abuse who was simply “too busy trying to survive.” Nowhere in the interview does she discuss her reported comments to federal officials about casing possible attack sites with her late husband, and other evidence connecting her to the crime, claiming her lawyer would not let her discuss it.

“How can someone be capable of that?” Salman told the Times, concluding her interview, having addressed none of the circumstantial evidence connecting her to the crime.

What’s next?

A 2013 study of terror incidents in the United States and Europe found that in 64 percent of cases, relatives and/or friends had advance knowledge of the coming terror. Is Noor Salman a member of the 64 percent?

The FBI has not updated any information pertaining to Noor Salman’s status since late June. There is no publicly available information regarding a possible investigation, and when Conservative Review contacted the FBI to ask about any update to the case, a spokesperson said the Pulse investigation is still ongoing, and that policy does not permit them to comment on any ongoing investigation.

Our government has left the American people completely in the dark about a possible co-conspirator to the worst terror attack since 9/11. (For more from the author of “6 Months After the Orlando Attack, Has the FBI Forgotten About the Terrorist’s Wife?” please click HERE)

Jihad on the Quad? Ohio State Attacker Reported to Be Somali Refugee

Multiple reports are now indicating that the Ohio State University attack could have a possible Islamic terror connection, as the suspect has been identified as a Somali refugee.

According to NBC, “The suspect’s name was not released, but law enforcement officials told NBC News he was an 18-year-old Ohio State student, a Somali refugee who was a legal permanent resident of the United States.”

CBS News corroborated that report.

Officials have identified the suspect as Abdul Razaq Ali Artan.

As Conservative Review’s Daniel Horowitz has previously noted, “Since 1993, we’ve admitted roughly 115,000 Somali immigrants nationwide — mostly through the refugee program — at an average clip of 10,000 a year. Almost 100 percent of them are Muslim. Minnesota is home to at least 30,000 Somalis.”

There are at least 38,000 Somali residents in Columbus, Ohio, alone. That number is second only to Minneapolis, which was the nearby scene of another stabbing rampage earlier this year, in which 10 people were wounded.

The story here is not, as some would make it, about guns and an “active shooter.” Rather, it is yet another example of an Islamic terrorist admitted to the United States without proper vetting.
