Orlando shooter's employer G4S found nothing of concern
Orlando FBI chief Ron Hopper said agents investigated Mateen in 2013 and in 2014 regarding terror threats, but lacked sufficient evidence in both cases to pursue charges.
They must have seen something in him that he didn't at the time.
Robertson, who was a former US Marine and undercover FBI agent before turning into a radical Imam, was released from prison last year despite warning from officials and prosecutors that he would recruit people to carry out horrendous acts of violence. He was considered so dangerous that he was kept shackled with his own security detail away from other inmates. Whenever he was transported to court, authorities had a seven-car caravan of armed federal marshals escort him. He was eventually moved to solitary confinement after prison officials discovered that he was trying to radicalize his fellow inmates. After serving as a Marine for six years, Robertson, 47, went on to become a bank robber, before turning FBI informant after his arrest in exchange for a short prison sentence. He was dismissed by the FBI in 2007 after allegedly attacking his CIA handler, and then began preaching Islamic extremism.

so what you are saying is...
That the Obama administration can label all of these acts as work place violence instead of Islamic terrorism
Be it known that Philip B. Haney is a Founding Member of the Department of Homeland Security, dedicated to preventing terrorist attacks within the United States, reducing America's vulnerability to terrorism, and minimizing the damage from potential attacks and natural disasters.
The Madrassa Boys case, the Tablighi Jamaat Initiative, and the IIE case had all demonstrated the legitimacy of the concerns Congress expressed publicly about the "radicalization" of US citizens and the failure to connect the dots, particularly following the 2009 Christmas Day bombing attempt by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the "Underwear Bomber".
But, now, here I was, being investigated once again by my own agency, for doing exactly what Congress had commissioned us to do.
Three years later, on December 10, 2015, as details of the San Bernardino shooting were still emerging, I appeared on Megyn Kelly's Fox Newsn Channel program, The Kelly File, to talk about the Tablighi Jamaat case and its relationship to the massacre. The next morning, Smith called me, saying that all he could think about were the families of the people who were killed by Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik.
Emphasizing "engagement and dialogue," CVE focuses on protecting civil rights and civil liberties. Not of American citizens in general, but particularly of Muslims, both citizens and foreigners, who in many instances are associated with a threat to the nation's security.

Look…I’m not doing politics from this perspective.
From the conspiracy angle this isn’t right/left for me at least, it’s right/wrong.
I like the investigative aspect of this thread...gathering information.

I agree in as much that this if not political in the ordinary sense.
Politics is absolutely being used as part of a much larger agenda. In a perfect world, a country that offered everyone the same freedoms and civil rights while providing for the common good would be about as close to paradise on earth as could be hoped for. Unfortunately, this world is far from perfect.
As you said, I am speaking apolitically and have no religious agenda, either. With the way things are unfolding, anyone with the backbone to speak up will surely be labeled a racist & bigot in short order. There is a kind of loathsome brilliance to this strategy. Anyone attempting to sound the alarm will become the focus and the actual problem will continue to grow unabated...

I being from an Islamic heritage can say things others can’t say
And they certainly don’t know what I know
I’m planning a OP called…Its Wahhabism Stupid, maybe or something like that
Notice the lack of interest when I do that
people are truly programmed

if were looking for tenuous links, i understand the perpetrators had at some point drunk coffee and cola, therefore tying nescafe and pepsi into this conspiracy.
