[–] buggityboppityboo [S] 12 points 4 m onths ago Not to my knowledge. But the country doesn't matter. The prescience of the writers on this whole season has really hit home for me considering it must have been written some months ago and feels so relevant now. permalink parent discuss this ad on reddit

[–] demetrios3 20 points 4 m onths ago I dunno Bro I think you're reaching for something that isn't there. Considering the Charlie Hebdo shootings also took S U B M I T A N E W L I N K place there, Paris is the easily the 1st place they will attack, and the 2nd place too. The writers were betting that the HUGE influx of Migrants into Germany would bring terrorism with them. The bet on S U B M I T A N E W T E X T P O S T the numbers instead of using common sense. At least they were right about the migrant bringing a Jihadi, they just got the country wrong.

They fled Terrorism and civil war. Most of the attackers were french your submission "NSFW" so the thumbnail (or european) citizens afaik. That one Syrian passport that was found was most probably put there on purpose to becomes hidden. Unless a submission spread fear of refugees amongst europeans, and I read somewhere that it might even be fake. Point being that ISIS specifically states otherwise, assume all content has spoilers up to the latest aired has the means and personell to carry out these acts even without even one refugee arriving in Europe. IMO their episode. motive is to spread fear of all refugees and provoke unjustified actions of racism towards them so that some To spoiler tag comments use the following mistreated refugees might start sympathizing with them. That and trying to keep the west out of fighting them in format: Syria. [Spoiler](#s "Who is the mole?") will permalink parent appear as: Spoiler Who is the mole? [–] franandharpua 12 points 4 m onths ago Use context for spoiler tags. If someone I was with you up until saying that the Syrian passport was placed there. The French government has confirmed the makes a post asking about season 3, 25 year old coming from Syria through Greece. If anything he placed it there himself to make it known. untagged spoilers for season 4 are strictly disallowed unless the OP specifies Just like you can't believe only criminals are coming into the US from Mexico, not all the refugees are terrorists. But otherwise. you'd have to be pretty naive to think that it isn't happening at all, or that jihadists groups don't see this opportune time.

It was easy enough before, and on the other hand it has saved millions of innocents from death by either ISIS or the Assad regime.

At what cost?

permalink parent

[–] P9P9 4 points 4 m onths ago The point is: even without taking a single refugee ISIS would not be reduced in neither means nor motivation to carry out terrorist attacks on european soil. This is why weighting up accepting refugees against having to accept terrorist attacks is absolute nonsense.

[–] demetrios3 2 points 4 m onths ago I never said the Migrants were terrorist's. What I said is that I believe the writers were betting there would be a Jihadi among them and they were correct. And yes I know that the migrants are fleeing their drought stricken, war ravaged homes. I'll accept your apology in a coming post. :) discuss this ad on reddit permalink parent

[–] Wolfir 16 points 4 m onths ago Last week: Quinn says to pound Raqqa into a parking lot This week: Reddit says this is happening

permalink

[–] koalaisabear 15 points 4 m onths ago I was reading the articles about the bombing of Raqqa, too. I was also impressed by how relevant Homeland manages to be. Makes me think that people in the future watching it will not really understand how on point it was at the time.

permalink parent

[–] bumblingbagel8 3 points 4 m onths ago I know you are joking but that wasn't the first time Raqqa was bombed. I believe the US has bombed it at least once and Russia did several weeks ago. Also apparently a number of the bombs dropped in Raqqa were dropped on the outskirts not the city itself.

[–] iamjstn 5 points 4 m onths ago They will probably put a disclaimer like they did after Sandy Hook.

permalink parent

[–] anvilparachute 1 point 4 m onths ago What happened? I googled and couldn't find anything.

permalink parent

[–] iamjstn 3 points 4 m onths ago Sandy Hook happened the Friday before the season 2 finale. So they put a disclaimer about it being a violent episode, hinting that it might trigger some people. I don't remember exactly what it said.

permalink parent

[–] LordCider 5 points 4 m onths ago I really thought the show would take a week off (like last year when the CIA documents got leaked, they postponed the episode and probably edit out the part where Quinn tortured the other guy - there was so much overshadowing with the torturing and no delivery :( )

permalink

[–] squarepush3r 3 points 4 m onths ago Seriously, this show is so relevant its scary!

permalink

[–] FabianDR 3 points 4 m onths ago you better not postpone it! that would be completely unnecessary. there is simply no reason why they should do that. okay, maybe due to respect. but honestly, I don't care at all. I don't want terrorists to tell me what to watch when and what not.

permalink

[–] Halo909 2 points 4 m onths ago they probably have some ex-military or some writers with some foreign affairs experience.

permalink

[–] Al3k5an9ar 1 point 4 m onths ago This! Foreign affairs journalists could give you great insight on what could happen, if you've been reading the news about middle east and European migrant crisis you could connect the dots just as easy.

permalink

[–] mer1dian 2 points 4 m onths ago The x-files spinoff series called "the lone gunman" had an episode where the government had remote controlled an airliner to fly into the world trade towers as a false flag conspiracy. That episode was defiantly spooky, it aired in February of 2001 I think.

permalink

[–] ohfackoff -1 points 4 m onths ago They're stil filming and writing as they go. So they can incorporate very relevant stories into their scripts.
