FBI Director Christopher Wray said Tuesday he has never seen a time during his decades-long career when so many threats against the US were all as elevated as they are now, warning senators he sees “blinking lights everywhere.”

During a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, ranking Republican member of the committee, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, asked Wray if he saw “blinking red lights” — referring to warning signs the US missed before the attack of 9/11.

“I see blinking lights everywhere I turn,” Wray said.

Wray also said that the bureau is working “around the clock” to “identify and disrupt” potential attacks by individuals inspired by the Hamas attacks on October 7.

    Oh my gosh - maybe it’s a conspiracy!?!

    Or maybe there really is an elevated risk of radicalized individuals trying to emulate a recent successful terrorist attack in Western nations.

    Things can not be a coincidence for a variety of reasons, including the officially stated ones.
