CITIZENS COULD HAVE STOPPED NOLA TERROR ATTACK: RECOGNIZING THE SIGNS
OF TERROR

Christine Reagan | 1-14-2025

The New Orleans terror attack, where 15 lives were lost and over 30
were injured, was a nightmare, but the casualties intended were meant
to kill thousands, with 47,000 tourists arriving for the Sugar Bowl.

THE PERPETRATOR, Jabbar, a 42-year-old U.S. Army veteran from Houston,
PLACED AT LEAST TWO UNATTENDED COOLERS FILLED WITH IMPROVISED
EXPLOSIVE DEVICES (IEDS). If the public vigilance of the early
post-9/11 years had persisted, these unattended coolers would have
been reported immediately, possibly averting the tragedy by closing
off the street, deploying vehicle barriers, and calling in the bomb
squad. THANKFULLY, THE TIMELY EXCHANGE OF GUNFIRE BETWEEN LOCAL POLICE
AND JABBAR LIKELY PREVENTED THE DETONATION OF THESE BOMBS, WHICH COULD
HAVE LED TO FAR MORE DEVASTATING CASUALTIES.

THIS INCIDENT ECHOES A TIMELESS LESSON: THE CRITICAL NEED FOR PUBLIC
VIGILANCE, A LESSON BRIGITTE GABRIEL AND HER ORGANIZATION, ACT FOR
AMERICA, HAVE TAUGHT FOR YEARS THROUGH THE "SEE SOMETHING, SAY
SOMETHING" PROGRAM. Gabriel's foresight in promoting this initiative
has shaped how everyday citizens can safeguard their communities. THIS
ETHOS WAS INSTRUMENTAL LONG BEFORE THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
TOOK IT NATIONWIDE, EMPHASIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF CITIZENS ACTING AS
THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE AGAINST TERRORISM.

BRIGITTE’S NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERS, “BECAUSE THEY HATE” AND
“THEY MUST BE STOPPED,” CONTINUE TO EQUIP CITIZENS AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT WITH PRACTICAL WAYS TO RESPOND TO AND COMBAT RADICAL
ISLAMIC TERRORISM IN AMERICA AND ABROAD.

During the Bush Era, lectures at the FBI, the U.S. Special Operations
Command, and the Joint Forces Staff College, GABRIEL HAS EMPHASIZED
THE NEED FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN NATIONAL SECURITY.

UNDER GABRIEL'S LEADERSHIP, ACT FOR AMERICA ESTABLISHED ONE OF THE
FIRST PLATFORMS FOR CITIZENS TO REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITIES, setting
a precedent for community-based security that later influenced
Homeland Security's systems.

FOR GENERAL REPORTING, CALL 1-866-DHS-2-ICE (1-866-347-2423) FOR ALL
SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING ILLEGAL ALIENS.

THE LEGACY OF BRIGITTE GABRIEL'S WORK WITH ACT FOR AMERICA HAS NEVER
BEEN MORE CRUCIAL. IT'S NOT A SLOGAN; IT'S RECOGNIZING AND REPORTING
THE SIGNS OF TERROR WITHOUT FEAR, SAFEGUARDING OUR STREETS,
COMMUNITIES, AND NATION FROM FURTHER HARM.

NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR COMPLACENCY!_ _The implications of such
attacks are far-reaching, especially considering warnings from figures
like Tom Homan, the incoming Border Czar, who estimates at least
600,000 potential terrorists within the U.S. borders. Moreover, Sarah
Adams, a former CIA Targeter, has warned of an influx of over 1,000
highly trained terrorists last year, potentially plotting to kill
thousands in synchronized attacks, possibly orchestrated by a combined
Al-Qaeda-ISIS operation. Adams has warned us that the 10/7 terror
attack in Israel was meant as revenge against the US for the US
military operation “Enduring Freedom” in Afghanistan.

CAIR, the unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case,
accused of funneling US donations to HAMAS in Gaza, was again
embroiled in a recent lawsuit revealing foreign donors may be
funneling funding for terrorism into the US through a former employee.

In the face of these threats, we must rekindle our vigilance, ensuring
that the horrors of New Orleans are not repeated, understanding that
in this battle against terror, every citizen's alertness could be the
key to prevention.

See Something, Say Something: If you come across an unattended
backpack, suitcase, cooler, or any containment unit in a public area,
don't hesitate—report it to the local police immediately. If you
witness someone purposefully leaving such an item behind, act swiftly:
take a clear photo of the individual, approach them to confirm if the
object is theirs. Should they deny ownership or continue walking away,
call 911 without delay. Advise those around you to evacuate the area
until law enforcement arrives.

"DO NOT SAY TO YOURSELF, 'I CANNOT JUDGE OTHERS, YOU KNOW, MAYBE I’M
BEING TOO INSENSITIVE, OR MAYBE I’M ACTING LIKE A BIGOT.' GET THESE
THOUGHTS OUT OF YOUR MIND, THIS IS A TIME WHERE WE NEED TO START
PROFILING BASED ON BEHAVIOR AND MANNERISM, NOT ON BACKGROUND." -
BRIGITTE GABRIEL.

REMEMBER, PREVENTION IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE DETERRENT AGAINST TERROR.
IF THE ITEM TURNS OUT TO BE HARMLESS, THERE'S NO HARM DONE; BUT IF
IT'S A THREAT, YOUR ACTIONS COULD SAVE LIVES AND HELP IN APPREHENDING
TERRORISTS, POTENTIALLY DISRUPTING ENTIRE TERROR NETWORKS. STAY
VIGILANT, STAY SAFE.
