Thanksgiving threat at ‘all-time’ high as terrorists plan to ‘drink US blood with their Cheerios,’ 9/11 responder warns

A 9/11 responder has warned that the level of security threat before this year’s Thanksgiving parade is at an all-time high as terrorist organizations try to take advantage of a distracted American public.

The 98th year of the star-studded Macy’s event is expected to draw millions of revelers to the streets of New York City and millions more to watch from home.

A New York Police Department and FBI study, originally obtained by ABCNews, warned that both domestic and foreign terrorists could target the event, raising security concerns.

At a time when geopolitical tensions are still high, Americans will enjoy Thanksgiving.

Thousands of Palestinians have been killed in the Israel-Gaza conflict, which has spread to Lebanon and provoked rallies across the United States.

China’s threats have not gone away, Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine has resulted in a standoff, and there are terrorist groups operating in Latin America.

According to Bryan Stern, a combat veteran with over 25 years of military service, America’s adversaries and terrorist groups are feeling more confident, he told The U.S. Sun.

He claimed that they wake up every day attempting to figure out how to use their Cheerios to drink American blood.

They are motivated and enthusiastic. They are at their best right now.

We don’t seem to be listening, even though they are prepared to rock and roll.”

Stern, who oversaw rescue operations from Afghanistan in the summer of 2021, thinks the US faces a greater security threat than ever before.

He cautioned that terror groups find the march to be an appealing target and a soft target.

According to Stern, [the risk] is at an all-time high this year.

This gives terrorists worldwide a great deal of confidence.

Grey Bull Rescue Foundation founder Stern made references to elements that have influenced his decision-making.

According to him, there are other contributing factors than the current geopolitical environment.

Stern clarified that the aftermath from the October 7 Hamas strikes on Israel and the condition of the US border, as well as the botched exit from Afghanistan, had given terror groups more confidence.

He acknowledged that the bad people are not scared.

They have easy access to the United States and are generally encouraged and emboldened by what has been happening.

We accept all of that, and the procession is an extremely tempting target.

Terrorists target soft targets rather than hard ones.

“A soft target is the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade.

Stern claims that it has been more than two decades since terror groups have been given such a boost.

According to him, America is not a threat to terrorist organizations at any level.

Since the morning of 9/11, there hasn’t been as much celebration or joy in the terrorist community.

Stern cautioned that America’s botched pullout could give Taliban insurgents a victory over the West.

Politicians from both parties strongly denounced the withdrawal, and Biden’s competence was questioned barely months after he took office.

The evil people can claim victory after Afghanistan, Stern added.

They chased the West away, with individuals plummeting from aircraft as they ran for their life.

Their attitude began to significantly improve at that point because everything was a complete chaos.

They consider themselves to be a successful football squad.

Stern added that the continued hostage-taking of Americans is “another significant victory” for terrorist organizations.

He cautioned that the West is being targeted by those who wish to sow fear.

The Taliban can assert that they defeated NATO.He claimed that Vladimir Putin is struggling with NATO and is attempting to outmaneuver it.

The Taliban can promote the idea that the West is mistaken and they are correct.

Stern cautioned that it doesn’t take much to wreak havoc and asserted that terrorist organizations may quickly radicalize new recruits.

As the Israel-Gaza conflict rages, security concerns remain high, and lawmakers have issued warnings regarding the presence of Hezbollah factions in Venezuela.

The anti-American sentiment that unites Tehran and Caracas has strengthened their friendship.

House of Representatives lawmakers have raised the alarm over border security.

More than 250 migrants on the terrorism watch list entered the US illegally between 2021 and 2023, according to a House Judiciary Committee report released in August.

99 were also permitted to settle in the United States.

THANKSGIVING FEARS

Although security authorities have emphasized that there isn’t a specific danger, agencies are acting to lessen the likelihood that one would materialize.

Vehicle ramming was mentioned in passing in the document.

Sanitation trucks will be parked along the parade route by New York police.

Although there will be a wide range of possible soft targets for an attack during the 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the research cautioned that crowded places where the greatest number of people congregate—especially designated viewing areas—are probably the most susceptible to a mass casualty strike.

The parade will start at 8:30 am and feature about 10,000 participants.

After starting in the Upper West Side neighborhood, participants will swarm Herald Square.

Broadway performers, floats, and A-list celebrities like Jennifer Hudson and Kylie Minogue will entertain crowds, according to today’s announcement.

Crowds will also be treated by groups like The Temptations and Broadway singer Idina Menzel.

The parade will feature 17 character balloons and over 700 clowns.

The organizers are hopeful that the disturbance from the previous year’s march won’t happen again.

Pro-Palestinian protesters adhered to the road in 2023.

Only a few weeks had passed after Hamas carried out the terror assaults on October 7 when the disturbance occurred.
