Sean Ryan
Foreign Doe. Welcome to the Sean Ryan Show.
Jane Doe
Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here.
Sean Ryan
I really appreciate you coming. Sarah Adams, really good friend of mine and repeat guest on Sean Ryan show, connected us, what, about a month ago, I think. And so I know you're traveling from overseas, will not say where, but she says that you are the world's leading expert on Al Qaeda. And I've been talking to Sarah Scott, man legend. We even flew all the way to Vienna to interview Massoud, who's the leader of the National Resistance Front. Kind of took the torch from his dad, who was assassinated by bin Laden just a few days before 9, 11. And we've been trying to get out, you know, what Taliban, what Al Qaeda, what isis, Al Shabaab, all these terrorist networks have been up to on the show. And it's been really, really hard to kind of get people's attention. The mainstream media just refuses to cover it. I don't know why. And, and unfortunately, it took the attack on January 1st of 2025 this year to kind of get people really looking at it. And, and so now you have the whole world listening. And I know there was some, some, some, some attacks in Europe at the Christmas. Uh, I wouldn't. She told us that was gonna happen. I don't know if you would call that a prediction or if that was just flat out that. I mean, intelligence that's being brought to this show is coming to fruition. And now that people know that people are paying attention. And so I just. I know that takes a lot of courage to come out here and be on this show. And so thank you for being here. Thank you for the invitation and just a quick introduction. So today we're going to hide your identity. We'll call you Jane Doe. Due to the nature of your work combating terrorism. Again, welcome to the show.
Sarah Adams
You're one of the leading experts in.
Sean Ryan
The world regarding the Al Qaeda terrorist network. You're an ISAF veteran and former intelligence analyst. You completed multiple tours in Afghanistan. Thank you for sitting down with us today. This conversation is going to help a lot of people. And this is from Sarah. I was texting with her this morning. And so a lot of people have a lot of faith in Sarah Adams and what she has to say, because things are happening that she said would happen multiple things both overseas and here. And so she texted me this morning. She said, jane is humble, but you not only have the number one expert in the world right now on AQ central leadership, but she has completely infiltrated them. What is in her head will save lives, no doubt. Have a great interview. And so if Sarah says that, that carries a lot of weight, not only with me, but to this audience and as the audience grows more into the global scale. Again, thank you for being here and emptying out what's in your head and what you know about these terrorist organizations to the entire world. I know that that comes at a cost.
Jane Doe
Thank you. I'm trying to do my best. I mean, it's. Yeah, Al Qaeda is very sophisticated, and Sarah has been doing an amazing job, and I've been working with her in the last two years, trying to put the pieces together to understand what happened, you know, around 20, 21, what has happened, what's been happening now. So, yeah, I'm trying to give you, during this interview, kind of that what we know.
Sean Ryan
Well, we got a lot of different subjects to dive into first. Everybody gets a gift. It'll be the only light part of the interview that we have here. So here you go.
Jane Doe
Thank you. Oh, gummies.
Sean Ryan
Those are Vigilance league gummy bears.
Jane Doe
Yeah.
Sean Ryan
Legal in all 50 states. I'm not sure if they're legal where you came from, but it's just candy. There's no cbd. There's no anything else in them.
Jane Doe
Thank you. I'm a big fan of gummies.
Sean Ryan
Right on.
Jane Doe
Yeah.
Sean Ryan
And. And they're made here in the usa, so those are hard to come by as we're sold out again. But.
Sarah Adams
And then the other thing, before we.
Sean Ryan
Do start the interview, I have a Patreon account. Patreon's a subscription network. And so one of the things we do. They've been around here forever, since before I even started this show. I used to teach tactics, which is weird, saying that seeing what this has developed into. But. But one of the things that I. I do for them is I offer. I offer them an opportunity to ask each and every guest a question. They've been with us here since the beginning. They're the reason that I get to sit here and the reason that you get to sit here. And so this is kind of the least I can do for my community.
Jane Doe
Sure.
Sarah Adams
And so this question is from Kyle.
Sean Ryan
M. When dealing with a threat such as a VBIED or any other explosion, mass shooting kind of event, what are the proper precautions to take when analyzing for potential secondary attacks? Then there's a follow on, such as.
Sarah Adams
More shooters and secondary explosions.
Sean Ryan
How does someone know whether to stay, fight, help the wounded, or retreat to a known safe location until the chance of a secondary threat is greatly Mitigated.
Jane Doe
Oh, that's an easy question. I mean we used to face with it in Afghanistan. Right. We had all these very tough decisions to make every day. I think the key here, what we are facing, I mean these complex attacks is that how we can put together the first responders. Right. I mean when we talk about casualties, you know, okay, let the medics take care of that or just trying to catch the shooters, I mean that's on the police or what the community can do. Yeah, that's another question. I think here what the challenge is going to be is that what if we have two attacks or three or four or five at the same time, the same place. Yeah, I mean the key in here that the responders not, I mean, not to drag all of them to one spot. So it's all about, I think the key going to be organization, what the local people can do. Well, you know, it's America, people have weapons. I mean you have large numbers of veterans, special forces communities, obviously they can be kind of involved. The risk in here, it's like what happened during the Hamas attack. I don't know if you heard about the Hannibal Directive. Then the Hamas attackers got into the music festival and the military got the order to shoot. And the military said, yeah, but we don't know who are the attackers, I mean it's not clearly visible. And they said, doesn't matter, just stop them. So obviously there were casualties.
Sean Ryan
Yeah.
Jane Doe
So I think that's a huge risk in here. When we talk about multiple attacks, how you stop them, how you can contain them and local population, I mean it's just law enforcement.
Sean Ryan
I have a feeling. This question comes from Kyle Morgan, who was a prior guest on this show. Former Delta operator, U.S. special Forces. And he responded to a terrorist attack I believe was Al Shabaab at the Radisson Blue in Mali. And I can't remember exactly how long the gunfight is, was. I believe it was like a 16 hour gunfight slash rescue mission. And when nobody else would answer the call, it was him. And I know that that still haunts him to this day. And now with the threat that we face here in the US and also in Europe, I know this is on everybody's mind. So just to kind of expound on, on his question here, you know what, is there anything, is there anything that. So let's say it was a, a ied, a bomb. In my experience being overseas in Afghanistan, that was, I wouldn't say all the time, but in several cases it was an initiation with a follow on attack. Of shooters. Would that, Would you say that if in a IED a bomb went off in a location, it would be. Could you expect shooters to come? Are you picking up that kind of intelligence? Yeah, I think.
Jane Doe
Yeah, I believe so. I believe so. I mean, when we talk about vbied or ied, I mean in Afghanistan it was mainly targeted convoys. Right. Bbied is just targeting, you know, the population. When you have a crowd, I would expect here on US soil or in Europe. I mean, when we talk about vbied, it's going to be target. It's going to target specific locations. I mean, because the key, I believe at least the information until now I have is that attack with an explosion is just going to be kind of the beginning of an attack which is coming after. Okay. And the key of that is to drag the first responders to one side.
Sean Ryan
Okay.
Jane Doe
Okay. So imagine that if you have, I don't know, it's really just a wide example. So it's nothing to do with information like getting a suicide bomber into a museum where obviously you can have high casualties. Right. And the first responders will be there. I mean several ambulance cars, the police, you know, just close the vicinity of the area and mass shooting is starting on the other side of the city.
Sean Ryan
Okay. So it would be to. It's a diversion. Yeah, it's a diversion with mass casualty event and then a follow on attack somewhere else in the city or throughout the country.
Jane Doe
Yeah. And the key is to not have response. So until now, what I know is that just imagine that you have an explosion in one place and you have just, I don't know, 1,000 people around. Everyone is calling 911. That's a massive hit on the communication system. Right. Because everyone is calling 911 and it's one location. So then phone calls, thousands are coming from another location. I can't imagine how the system is going to handle that. And we are just talking about communication.
Sean Ryan
I don't know how you would handle that. You would have to be very smart about how you allocate resources or have at least a team, maybe a SWAT team or two SWAT teams sitting behind to respond to a follow on. Do you think we'll see that? So that doesn't just apply to bombs, that would apply to any attack. Could be a diversion.
Jane Doe
Yeah, yeah. I mean that's the key. That's really the key that it's going to be so hard to encounter it. And it just back to the question. I think the United States has this. I mean you have a lot of veterans Just imagine that something is happening around where you live, you know, I know you. And you will grab the weapon, you know, and you do your job because you are trained for it. But in Europe, we don't have it. We don't have this large number of veterans.
Sean Ryan
Yeah. Nor can you carry a weapon.
Jane Doe
No, no. But, but with these attacks. Yeah. At least until what I know now is that, yeah, it's going to be probably one attack, make a huge diversion over stretching the responders and then just do the next one.
Sean Ryan
Do you think that Europe is a lot more vulnerable to this than the United States?
Jane Doe
Oh, absolutely.
Sean Ryan
Do you think they'll start there?
Jane Doe
It's difficult because, you know, everything, anything can trigger the attacks. And that's the key here. That's what I'm trying to figure out, how they work, how they think. I'm just telling. An example can be that we stop funding the Taliban and just. Okay, let's do it.
Sean Ryan
Yeah. I hope that we stop funding the Taliban.
Jane Doe
Oh, I hope so.
Sean Ryan
I have to say this on every show, even though every time we talk about this, even on other shows, when I interviewed Donald Trump, When I interviewed J.D. vance, I talk about it. But we are currently funding the Taliban. According to legend, Sir Adams and Massoud, the US is currently funding Taliban 40 to $87 million a week flown into Cat as cash into Afghanistan through NGOs and it was to my understanding, I believe since since the Afghan withdrawal, the Taliban has set up over 900 and this is even six month old news. So I'm sure it's more than that over 900 NGOs kind of facade NGOs that just funnels the money right back into the terrorist organization.
Jane Doe
Yes, absolutely. But also when we talk about the cash delivery, is that. So the plane is landing, there is a, um, personnel, you know, because part of it is, you know, the cash for Unama, but there are additional bags.
Sean Ryan
Wow.
Sarah Adams

I know everybody out there has to be just as frustrated as I am when it comes to the BS and the rhetoric that the mainstream media continuously tries to force feed us. And I also know how frustrating it can be to try to find some type of a reliable news source. It's getting really hard to find the truth and what's going on in the country and in the world. And so one thing we've done here at Shawn Ryan show is we are developing our newsletter. And the first contributor to the newsletter that we have is a woman, former CIA targeter. Some of you may know her as Sarah Adams, call sign Superbad. She's made two different appearances here on the Sean Ryan show, and some of the stuff that she has uncovered and broke on this show is just absolutely mind blowing. And so I've asked her if she would contribute to the newsletter and give us a weekly intelligence brief. So it's gonna be all things terrorists. How terrorists are coming up through the southern border, how they're entering the country, how they're traveling, what these different terrorist organizations throughout the world are up to. And here's the best part. The newsletter is actually free. We're not gonna spam you. It's about one newsletter a week, maybe two. If we release two shows. The only other thing that's gonna be in there besides the intel brief is if we have a new product or something like that. But like I said, it's a free CIA Intelligence brief. Sign up links in the description or in the comments. We'll see you in the newsletter. It's a new year and there's no better time to start sleeping better with Cozy Earth's best selling bedding.

Sean Ryan
I also have to say that the congressman Tim Burchett out of Tennessee is the only one, the only one that has been on this since the beginning. There's been some more congressmen that have gotten involved with this, but even, even our two senators here in Tennessee, I personally spoke to one of them to get this push because it got stopped at the Senate and it just fell on deaf ears. It fell on deaf ears. Our Congress here, excuse me, not our Congress, our Senate here. Our government is not taking this seriously. And these senators, these congressmen that aren't taking this seriously need to be held accountable. And so I would urge the audience to pay attention to what your congressmen and what your senators are doing because if they don't take this stuff seriously, as we saw on January 1st in New Orleans, people are going to die. They're going to die. And moving back, just rewind in just a minute back to the terrorist, the follow on attacks. And you were talking about kind of the second amendment here in the US and how that could play a role in stopping attacks as they happen. Do you think that or maybe do you know not do you think, do you know if these terrorist organizations, Al Qaeda, isis, Taliban, Al Shabaab, the Islamic Brotherhood, I believe that's what they're going by now. Do they take that into account in their intelligence gathering? Do they? Look at this country does not its citizens are unable to defend itself. This state has very strict gun rights or no gun rights. They're not able to defend themselves. Don't go to Tennessee where everybody here carries a gun to defend themselves. Are they aware of that and do they take that into account?
Jane Doe
Well, yeah, absolutely. I mean it always impresses me how they, how they work, I mean how they assess situation, how they have these great abilities of observation, learning and they see the struggle, what we are having. You know, they are just following the news. It's so simple. I mean if you see a state where there is like always negative news about for example, the police, easy target. Why? Because the population don't trust.
Sean Ryan
You're talking about the states that have defunded the police.
Jane Doe
Yeah, it's just examples, you know. So they are really watching us.
Sean Ryan
They're in tune with us.
Jane Doe
Absolutely.
Sean Ryan
Take that into account.
Jane Doe
They know our politicians. So it's really interesting in the last two months, three months since President Trump got elected, the change, even how they communicate inside a group, what has changed that? I mean, they felt safe before, you know, freedom of movement, freedom of operation. They've got the money, so now they kind of struggle to see what's going to happen. They had, you know, the Doha Agreement. It was during the Trump presidency when it was signed. So now they don't know what's going to happen. And that worries them, and it makes them, I think, less predictable.
Sean Ryan
Interesting, interesting. You know, I've thought a lot about this, and not only with terrorist organizations, but also the Iranians, the Russians, the Chinese. I mean, in my opinion, it would have been not in their best interest to attack under the, under the Biden administration because the weakening of the country is just happening at such a rapid pace. And I try to think like them. And so if I were them, I would have waited until that election happened to see who was going to win, to see if the country would continue to weaken. And if it had continued to weaken under a Harris administration, which it would have, with the open borders, with the immigration policies, with basically just the negligence that we saw throughout the entire country and in the world, if I were them, I would not have attacked until a stronger president comes into power, because at that point, the weakening stops and it starts to strengthen. And so what I thought they would do is they would hit us at our weakest point, which they did on January 1st.
Jane Doe
Yeah, they were very happy, you know, with the, with the administration, because, you know, it. They were. I mean, Al Qaeda was denied, money is flowing. So it's just better, you know, to keep a low profile. Low profile, you know, just stay under the radar. You know, you do your business and that's fine.
Sean Ryan
And keep infiltrating.
Jane Doe
Yeah, and keep infiltrating. I mean, I mean, open border, but I see that in Europe. So it's, it's not just the problem of the United States in Europe. I mean, it's when the refugees are coming. You know, we have a law and we are not sending people back.
Sean Ryan
Sarah had mentioned that there is a. At least. At least 1,000 terrorists that have infiltrated the United States. I'm surprised that it's not more, but it sounds like that, you know, Sarah only reports backs and, and so. Or Gathers factual information. And so I'm curious as to your insight. Are there more than a thousand. Are there more than a thousand confirmed terrorists that have set up sleeper cells within the United States?
Jane Doe
Well, my numbers are quite the same. What I would add to this, it's just that attackers. And we haven't talked about facilitators.
Sean Ryan
What do you mean by facilitators?
Jane Doe
Facilitators. For example, we have the war on Gaza, which obviously has a huge impact and not just on Muslim population. If you see the protests, you know, what we had, I mean, it's going to be so easy to find facilitators who are going to take care of, I don't know, one money transfer. Who is going to help attackers to get into a building. Because I feel you. I'm with you, brother.
Sean Ryan
So they will find these facilitators at those protests?
Jane Doe
Oh, yeah. Just, you know, like the ISIS claim that the New Orleans attacker was not an ISIS member, but just a sympathizer. So. And we see what happened. And Sean, it's a lot.
Sean Ryan
Wow.
Jane Doe
And it's just growing every day.
Sean Ryan
So these thousand, these thousand plus that are confirmed to be within the United States borders, are they grouped together in pairs? Are they singletons? All throughout the United States, is there a thousand different locations that all these people are at? And those are the facilitators, Those are recruiters, Those are facilitators. Those are planners on future attacks. Or are they grouping up in 10 different places, in 100? Or are they grouping up into 20 different places of 50, or. Do you understand what I'm saying?
Jane Doe
Yeah, yeah, I think. I mean, they are this. We are talking about small cells. Okay? So it's. It's from operational point of view, it's really wise to keep them separated. You know, if one falls, you know, one cell gets discovered, you still have the other 10 or 15 safe. So I believe, at least what I know, they are not communicating much between each other. So the cells are staying separated from each other. It's how many cities and where? We still don't know. We are working on it.
Sean Ryan
Do we have any confirmations of where they may be?
Jane Doe
We have some, but we couldn't confirm it yet. I mean, not yet. We are working on it.
Sean Ryan
How many have infiltrated Europe?
Jane Doe
I think it's more than a thousand. It's easier. You know, they come as refugees and I mean, they just simply get in, you know, so they walk through. And I think countries have this very. I mean, the United States has its database, right? Big part of it is coming from Afghanistan. You know, you had all the names, the backgrounds. Europe doesn't have this big database. If they are sharing between. I mean, between Europe or the United States. I don't know that, but I know it was one guy who reached Greece in 2019 as an afghan refugee. And it was a case study. No one questioned why he ran away from Afghanistan in 2019 when we still had the government, but he was a refugee and it was taken by a European country. And after a few months, he just grabbed a knife and killed two women. And the narrative was, I believe it's a narrative is that he had mental problems. So, you know, it's this thinking, you know, 2019, why. Why did he need to run away from Afghanistan? Why was he a refugee? No one is asking. Was taking there to that European country and killed two. Two women.
Sean Ryan
Why are they, why are they formulating these narratives? Why don't they just call it for what it is? Is it to. Is it to try to contain mass hysteria or try to contain fear throughout the population or is it they don't want to bring light on terrorist organizations or what. Why are they coming up with these narratives?
Jane Doe
Yeah, that's an interesting question. I'm asking this almost every day that I think it's sort of a protection also that, you know, it's leave the people in the delusion that they are safe. You know, you are safe. You are not questioning. But also the other thing is just think of it if you just using this case study that if you have an Afghan coming and killed two women, you start to question what's going on in Afghanistan. Right. But when you start to question it, you get answers. When you have answers, you have to do something. No one wants to do anything related to Afghanistan. No one.
Sean Ryan
So it's to. It's basically to save them from power.
Jane Doe
Yeah.
Sean Ryan
They don't want to talk about it because they don't want to be removed or elected out or removed from power. So they want everybody to know, hey, it's safe. This is just a one off. This is a spin off. This is. This is nothing to be worried about. It's just a coincidence as this happened. They don't want the fear to come or they don't want to. They don't want to reveal the truth of what's going on because if they did, they would show how incompetent they actually are in office.
Jane Doe
Yeah. And it's also, you know, having successful four years because it's what I can see it's all about I mean related to Al Qaeda and Afghanistan. So it's what's going on in there. It's all about short term political agenda and not about long term solutions. So it's, you know, it's something like this, this is what I can see. I mean, related to Afghanistan as a narrative. Move on. There is nothing to see here. Move on. So everything related to Afghanistan is just buried.
Sean Ryan
We saw that, we've seen that.
Jane Doe
And these mental issues, that's the main narrative now in Europe. What is it is the attacker had mental issues, mental problems.
Sean Ryan
It's an ideology problem. Yeah, well, well, you know, I'm really concerned. I know every time I cover this more and more people get concerned. I'm actually extremely concerned that Sebastian Gorka took the Director of counterterrorism role here within the United States. The guy has zero background. I don't know why he was placed in that position. He doesn't know what he's doing. And hopefully somebody more competent takes that role like Scott Mann or Sarah Adams. Speaking of Scott Mann, Sarah Adams, this is another, I don't know if I'd call it a positive, but I just, I just want the audience to know that there are people out there that are, that are trying to reach local communities. I know you're a big part of this. Scott Band, retired Lt. Col. Green Beret out of Special Forces. Sarah Adams, former CIA intelligence analyst and targeter. I know you're involved in this. You guys are coming out with a book called the Gathering Storm. And Scott Mann and Sarah have been flying around the country to anybody that will listen to what they're trying to, what they're saying to try to prepare the local communities as our politicians continue to fail. In fact, they're coming here to my county to brief an entire panel at our sheriff's department. I talked to the sheriff. They're coming here, we're having, we're actually having a panel here coming up on, on everything that they've uncovered and along with, with you, what you've uncovered. Because I know they take everything that you have very seriously. And so, so that's what they're doing. But, but, and so sheriff's departments, police departments, lots of local governments, very small communities are, they're listening as our federal government and state government continue to fail us. And so can you talk a little bit about what the Gathering Storm operation looks like and what exactly it is?
Jane Doe
Yeah, sorry, yeah. So there is part of the book where we put together actually what we know. There is a part of it, for example, which is About Al Qaeda, the changes it went through, how it's operating in and from Afghanistan, what are the other bases. And yeah, I think I want to highlight something because it's really important. I think it's pretty amazing in America here that you have people listening. I think it really shows that people are taking this seriously. We don't have this in Europe.
Sean Ryan
You don't?
Jane Doe
No, no, no, we don't.
Sean Ryan
Even after what happened at the Christmas market. Nobody's listening.
Jane Doe
No. No. No one. No. There is nothing to see here.
Sean Ryan
You need to move here.
Jane Doe
Yeah. So. And yeah, we are focusing on local communities, you know, and trying to share what we know because I think, you know, it's. We always call it, it's critical information. If you have the intel, you can, you can be prepared. You can prepare the people, you can prepare the law enforcement, you can, you can prepare the first responders. Right. And I think it's a huge advantage, and this is necessary to do that. I struggled a little bit in the beginning. Okay. We are creating mass hysteria. People are going to panic. And I get this question. It's just, what if you are wrong? And I always say, okay, let's turn the question. What if I'm right? Or what if we are right and there will be no response?
Sean Ryan
Well, I can answer that question right now. What if you're wrong? Well, what if you are wrong? Well, then we're all better prepared for what. What might come. And you're right. What if you're right?
Jane Doe
Yeah.
Sean Ryan
Which January 1st proved that you are.
Jane Doe
Yeah, yeah. And just a little bit how we work that Sarah has her own line. I have my own line. I have a partner. He has his own line. So we are using minimum three independent networks. So we verify information.
Sean Ryan
You've infiltrated all of these terrorist organizations, number one being al Qaeda, correct?
Jane Doe
Yeah. Yeah, I did.
Sean Ryan
How did you do that?
Jane Doe
I think it's. I mean, when al Qaeda said. And it was stated in 2016, it was also Wahiri who said that Al Qaeda wants to return to Afghanistan.
Sean Ryan
And could you say that again?
Jane Doe
In 2016, Al Zawahiri stated that Al Qaeda wants to return to Afghanistan. It was in 2016 when he stated that. And it's an easy, you know, for them. They are one. You know, the ideology is the same. So it was an understandable choice. But we have our allies there. And the interesting part when we talk about this is that the Afghans are not so happy about Al Qaeda being there. The Taliban is. But the Afghan population, I mean, general, they are not.
Sean Ryan
Yet it seems that the local Afghan populace is obviously very concerned. They made a lot of headway when we were there, and now that's completely demolished. And. And then, you know, another thing that Sarah told us is that Honza bin Laden is still alive even after we reported that apparently he was dead. And so it's to my understanding that Hansa bin Laden is marrying into all these different terrorist networks. He's married into the Taliban, Al Shabab, Al Qaeda, all these. All these terrorist networks to form the. The Islamic Brotherhood. And, and so now he's basically taken. Would you call them competitors? Yeah, he's taking competitors and he's united at them all with one common goal being. Yeah, being to take out the West.
Jane Doe
Oh, it's not just Hamza, actually. His brother also married recently to a woman from network. So they are. Yeah, they are. They are one. And actually, you know, they didn't even hide it because it was stated several times now. They are not hiding. I mean, Hamza is wandering around in Afghanistan, and even if you ask an average Afghan, okay, who is, you know, like educated, knows who Hamza bin Laden is, and they are telling you, I mean, it was, I think, two weeks ago. I texted to a couple of people I know from the past, and when I asked, okay, Hamza bin Laden, no one said, no, no, he is dead. But I mean, to deny that he is alive is deliberate. It's not because they don't have the intel. They know he's alive.
Sean Ryan
They do. Why are they hiding?
Jane Doe
I believe so.
Sean Ryan
Why did they try to hide that?
Jane Doe
Because otherwise you have to do something. I mean, how could you explain. I mean, just imagine that you are a political leader and someone is coming to you and saying that, hey, Sean, Hamza is alive. Yeah, I don't want to know that, because when you take it, oh, seriously, you have to do something, because people have been asking, why aren't you do something. Why is he still alive?
Sean Ryan
MI6 reported him alive. Is. Am I correct?
Jane Doe
Mm.
Sean Ryan
What other countries intelligence organizations are now reporting that. That revealing that he's alive?
Jane Doe
It's the British. They, they. They do. And they really don't understand. I mean, I'm pretty sure you heard that it already appeared in the British news that Hamza bin Laden, so it was intentionally leaked to the British media, you know, kind of warning the people to trying to do something. The Australians knew that he's alive. It was a little bit of confusion in the beginning because when Hamza appeared, Abdullah bin Laden, you know, the brother, he was in Afghanistan. And it was even in the UN report in 2021. So when Hamza appeared first and I've got the information, I started to question, are you sure it's Hamza? It's yeah, yeah, it's Hamza. Are you sure it's not Abdullah bin Laden? And they said, no, no, no, it's Hamza bin Laden. And then after two months, I could find an nds, a former NDS officer who said that, yeah, Hamza is Alive.
Sean Ryan
Real quick, NDS is basically. NDS is basically was basically the Afghanistan's version of MI6 or CIA. It was their intelligence. It's their intelligence organization.
Jane Doe
Yeah. So they reported after four or five. We tried to, you know, see that it was four or five months after that they reported to the US Annex that Hamza bin alleged is alive. And according to sources, there was even a photo attached was taken in Paktia of Hamza.
Sean Ryan
Wow. Wow. Do you think that we'll get more into Hamza here in a bit. But one thing too. I just want to say that we spoke about the Gathering Storm. Look, this is the best of what we have right now and it's coming from a former intelligence targeter, yourself, former, current intel analyst Scott Mann, retired Lt. Col. Green Beret. We're going to link that below right now. This is pretty much the only way to prepare yourself, your community. Get that to your local leaders. We'll link that below for everybody to take advantage of. It's not even out yet, but I'm not sure when it releases, but it will be very soon. I spoke to Scott shot last night and he said he's. He's finished with it. But one more thing. Do you, before we move into all the other stuff that we're going to talk about, do you think that these, do you think these terrorist organizations will start to target specific individuals, much like what we saw with Joe Kent's wife, who the former D. The the Diagnosis Intelligence officer, a really good friend of mine, Scotty Wirtz, was killed in that he was protecting her and they targeted them at a restaurant made car bomb, blow him, killed him with a car bomb. And do you think that we'll start to see individuals within Europe, within the United States? Will there be individual targets or will in addition to mass casualty events?
Jane Doe
I think it's in the pack. You know, if you. I know that Iran has his own list. You know, who should be killed. Also al Qaeda in 2023, December also mentioned three people. One is Elon Musk, the other one, I don't remember his name. He is related to economics. So, yeah, they have a list to do that I think can be a twist in here that Al Qaeda and the Taliban, they have very good relationship with organized crime groups.
Sean Ryan
Meaning cartels.
Jane Doe
Yeah, cartels. For example, Sirajuddin Haqqani has this amazing cooperation and relationship with the Albanian mafia, which is controlling half of Europe. They have network, I mean, almost global. So that makes it even more unpredictable. I know that Al Qaeda, I mean, on the election day, when it was announced President Trump won the election, yeah, Al Qaeda was not so happy.
Sean Ryan
Why would they target a individual like Elon Musk? Is that for the press or do they have something personally against him?
Jane Doe
In the video, what they released in 2023, it was more about his kind of a symbol, you know, of economy. He's a symbol of power, infidel, you know, so that is nothing. I think they also, obviously, they can use it as recruitment. But he was mentioned in that video, in the economics.
Sean Ryan
Why would they go after somebody with economics?
Jane Doe
Because it's power. You know, It's. That's why. 9, 11, the VTC, they were symbols. The towers.
Sean Ryan
Do they have a history of this? I mean, I don't. I don't. In my time in service, I don't remember seeing a. A gross amount of information saying that individuals would be targeted. It was always locations like coast, the station at Kabul, Kandahar, you know, the black base that was down there. I mean, I've never. I don't. I can't say never, but I don't recall seeing individual targets. Is this a new thing?
Jane Doe
Yeah, it's kind of a new thing now. They can see that there are people, you know, if they are taken out, it can be used as their own interests, their own benefits. It's kind of a new thing. And I think it makes them also vulnerable. So I'm working on this part because it's interesting how they see, obviously they want to avenge Sulaimani's death, who was killed during President Trump's administration. That was a big hit for them, and they want to avenge it. But as you said in the past, for example, they didn't want to kill Obama at least. I mean, they were talking about it, and there was a letter found in Abbottabad when they said, okay, don't, don't touch. Don't touch him.
Sean Ryan
Why?
Jane Doe
Because they saw that that would create a vacuum, and that's where they used that. And I'm really, I'm political. But that's when they wrote, that is. Biden was. By that time, you Know the vice president and they said he's completely unprepared for the position. So killing Obama wouldn't make that benefit for Al Qaeda.
Sean Ryan
So it was a longer play. They could foresee that.
Jane Doe
They always play on a long term end. And this is where we are losing.
Sean Ryan
Wow. Why does this all stem in Afghanistan? Why is this not stemming more in Yemen or Iran? Why, why is Afghanistan such a, a key country for, for festering terrorism?
Jane Doe
Al Qaeda, I mean they have these amazing strategies. Okay. So even today and they had these analysis where open Jihad, you know, the open front jihad can be carried out. Al Qaeda made a list of their own limitations as well. So it's really like a military what the capacity you have and what you can achieve. So it's really, it's brilliant. And one of them was Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, Iraq and North Africa. What they identified as can be suitable for open front jihad. It's why, because the government is weak, social services are weak. The ideology is not for, you know, the local population's ideology is not so far from Al Qaeda and this is where they can grow the seeds. And they have, I mean Yemen is always been for them kind of soft targeting. Obviously it has a government which is kind of supported by the West. Afghanistan is, that's where everything has started.
Sean Ryan
So they're, how are they communicating? How are they, how are the. It sounds like all of, all the leadership. Excuse me, all of the leadership is within the Afghanistan borders, correct?
Jane Doe
Yeah.
Sean Ryan
And so now that it's a safe asm for terrorism, how are they communicating with their, their leadership Throughout Europe, in, in the United States.
Jane Doe
Inside Afghanistan, the senior members, they are communicating with each other by couriers. So interestingly they don't.
Sean Ryan
Couriers.
Jane Doe
Couriers, yeah, they don't trust.
Sean Ryan
So they're not, they don't have a digital footprint.
Jane Doe
No, they don't.
Sean Ryan
This is all couriers.
Jane Doe
Yes, yes. So they still don't trust, you know, much video Europe. It's, they are using technology. So what I know is they are communicating encrypted messages. So they use the digital communication what kind of message? Like signal protocol kind of. And emails also, you know, you can create you know, these temporary email addresses, you know, sending, then after one hour, you know it's deleted. So they use that. But yeah, within Afghanistan they don't. I mean we've got couple of phone numbers of them, but they are not using much.
Sean Ryan
Wow. And so all of the, the thousand plus that have infiltrated the United States, the thousand plus that eventual infiltrated Europe, none of these, none of these entities are communicating with each other within the borders. It's all coming from Central Command. Which would be stationed in Afghanistan.
Jane Doe
Yeah, correct. I mean, I believe that. But as I'm saying, I mean, so it's very com.
Sean Ryan
It's very compartmentalized is what I'm saying. They don't know what each other's doing.
Jane Doe
That's the key. That's the key not knowing each other. You know, oneself falls.
Sean Ryan
So the only way that it could get leaked is by two points. The single point within the United States and the single point within Afghanistan. Yeah, they couldn't. They couldn't. So basically, for those that don't understand what I'm saying by compartmentalization is if. Let's say that the FBI raids a sleeper cell within the United States, that sleeper cell will not have any information.
Jane Doe
No.
Sean Ryan
When it comes to what the other 999seeper cells within the US borders or within Europe's borders is doing, it's all. The only way to infiltrate it is at the head, which would be in Afghanistan.
Jane Doe
Yeah, exactly. And even within one cell, they don't even know each other's real name. So it's really. If you see that from the operation point of view, it's genius. One cell is not going to lead to another.
Sean Ryan
Wow.
Jane Doe
It's not. And you have all these Taliban and Haqqani network supporters here in the United States. I mean, personally, I have some experiences with them. And also they can pass messages.
Sean Ryan
What is your experience with them?
Jane Doe
Very negative. I mean, okay, I didn't expect they will be positive. That it's really all about trying to legitimize the Taliban government. Whitewashing the Taliban, Al Qaeda as well. Changing basic information. We start to argue about really facts, what you can even find open sources. They are very aggressive. And this really had a peak during the election time. They really had this campaign of Biden Harris. I mean, they even created a hashtag for it. It was really interesting and just, you know, false narrative. And you have a lot of lobbyists here in the United States. I mean, we are listing them and. And they are powerful. I mean, there are people listening to them.
Sean Ryan
Who. Who are these lobbyists? Organizations? Are they individuals?
Jane Doe
Both. I mean, individuals is like Zalman Khalilzad. You know, I don't know if you heard about him. He's one of them.
Sean Ryan
I haven't. Who was that?
Jane Doe
He was from. He was member of the Doha negotiations. He's an American citizen. He's from Afghanistan. And he had this key role, you know, passing more power to the Taliban during the negotiations. He is one of the powerful lobbyists and there are several former businessmen here. So yeah, they are powerful and they are listening to them.
Sean Ryan
And what are these lobbyists doing?
Jane Doe
It's obviously, you know, this small chatter, you know, yeah, the Taliban doing this, the Taliban doing that. There is no alcohol. And to me it's strange because when you read it in a UN report, it's obviously that person is lying. Right? But they are just keep going with the narrative, keep repeating. I mean, I see that since the US Presidential election, how the propaganda machine of the Taliban has changed. For example, so all the positive news, economic innovations, new factories, life is wonderful in Afghanistan. Everything else is a lie. And we predicted that. I mean, we made several posts about it. What kind of changes are going to happen or became true?
Sean Ryan

Break here and.
Sean Ryan
Man, this is already like pretty alarming stuff, but I want to get into more about Al Qaeda. So what are some of the leadership changes that you're seeing within that organization right now?
Jane Doe
Yeah, they are continuously changing, but there are significant changes. What we could observe, one of them is that they became more goal orientated and less rule orientated. So that's why.
Sean Ryan
More goal orientated and less rule orientated, what does that mean?
Jane Doe
They focus so much on, on operations to carry out the attacks, to do their own business. So if you see Osama bin Laden or Ayman al Zawahiri, you know, they were, they were also fighters. Okay, mainly Osama bin Laden, not Zawahiri, but they were these kind of soft guys, you know, running around Afghanistan with the AK47. Zawahiri, you know, always about these religious speeches. So he was more a preacher, excellent strategist, of course. But the new leadership is more mission focused and they are so fast. I mean, they returned. Abdulah bin Laden arrived 2021. Saif Al Adal, who is the chief of the external operations of Al Qaeda returned in 2022. Hamza bin Laden returned in 2022 as well to Afghanistan. Saif Al Adel and Hamza Al Ghamdi, they are the two major guys in Al Qaeda's leadership. They run mainly everything and they are battle hardened fighters. I mean, Saif Al Odel himself is coming from the Special Operation Forces.
Sean Ryan
Are you serious? The people that the US trained?
Jane Doe
No, he was in the Egyptian Special forces.
Sean Ryan
Oh, good, okay.
Jane Doe
He was in Sudan, Yemen, Libya. He fought against the Soviet troops in Afghanistan. The guy is a genius. And he is called and he is just marching to execute the mission he is talking about. We know that from meetings, you know, what they had, of course he is devoted himself to Alaq. His life is the jihad. But it's a military guy. So then we talk about operation planning. It's a military guy.
Sean Ryan
Do they have different tiers within the organization? Do they have like, like how US Military set up? They have tier one organizations being team six Delta. They have conventional forces, the infantry. They have. Is it broken up like that into tiered, tiered units?
Jane Doe
Not in Al Qaeda. Okay, not, not in Al Qaeda. It's what they, what they did is that they prepared and trained, you know, the fighters, the attackers for Europe and for America to carry out the attacks. And very, very well planned operation. If you see, if you just see, you know, what we've been talking about and what I can see from them is that they even told us. It just. Let me quote you. Saif al Adel from 2023, November. This is what he wrote. We are facing this major shift in the global jihadist path and facing a radical change in rules of fighting. On the occasion of the opportunity of the century that may occur only once or twice in a lifetime. We call on our Islamic peoples everywhere to fight this battle, which is the most important Islamic step. So they even are telling us they are changing. And if you see the previous attacks, you could see how the homos attack was already more brutal. It was extremely organized. I talked to former colleagues from the US Special forces and I asked them, what's your opinion? And they said, wow, they were extremely organized and synchronized. What they did in Israel, the homosexual, if you see it was several raids at the same time.
Sean Ryan
We're going to start seeing that everywhere.
Jane Doe
Yeah. And you know, when I talk to other analysts, this is what I can see. It's kind of, I don't know, it's a tendency now that. No, that doesn't fit Al Qaeda's profile, you know. Oh, that doesn't fit Saif Al Adel. It doesn't fit Idaho, you know, these old dogmas. And if you see Al Qaeda is a. Okay, it's a terrorist organization, but it's part of nature. So it learns, adapts and evolve. So why are we just denying that it's just acting as part of nature.
Sean Ryan
Have they ever been more effective than they are now?
Jane Doe
Well, I was really surprised. The changes and the achievement, what they have reached during the last two years and they are stronger than prior 9, 11. They have more money, they are more organized, they are more trained. I mean, just to see the training, what the fighters have received and they are still receiving. Okay, so they haven't stopped training fighters. That's scary. I mean, just, just look at their equipment.
Sean Ryan
Yeah, it's all our equipment. Yeah, it's all US equipment.
Jane Doe
Mainly. Yeah, mainly.
Sean Ryan
Always going somewhere. I'm trying to, to regain my train of thought. The, the info that you're putting out is just, is. It's hard to keep a thought. It's hard to keep a thought. Can you explain what the Islamic army is and who all is involved?
Jane Doe
Yeah, it was 20, 23 November, when it was right after the Hamas attack when I started to track movements of fighters. So the Taliban, Al Qaeda and the Iranians, they moved fighters to Syria, Iraq and it was extremely organized. I mean they used airlines, so it's not even just cars. Airlines. And then I started to see.
Sean Ryan
What do you mean they used airlines? That's on the outline.
Jane Doe
Right after the, the Hamas attack, the Taliban sent fighters to Iran to irgc, Iranian Revolutionary Guard bases. They took a plane there, they took planes there and Iran flew them to Damascus. It was before the 19th of November. No, 19th of October, because we just put the information to the system. Listen, guys, massive fighters flow are going to Damascus and they are going by airplanes. And that's when Israel bombed the runaway of Damascus, you know, just to prevent the planes landing. And then they turned to ground transportation. Mainly it was, you know, a little bit slower because it's not easy to move a lot of people. But before that, that's what did something that's on.
Sean Ryan
Speaking of the airlines and I'm switching gears here a little bit, couple things I want to talk about the invisible bomb that Sarah Adams has been discussing. We've talked about it several times. In fact, there's a really good discussion on it on our X spaces. I think that's what they call it. But I want to talk about the invisible bomb and I also want to talk about. Let's start here. Scott Mann obviously has a lot of sources and is really tied in with this stuff as well. I know I don't want to mention any names who he's involved with. I don't know if I should or not. I think it's okay, but I'll keep that quiet. But he's really tied in with some of the people that were in NDS. As I mentioned before, NDS is the, the was the Afghanistan's version of CIA MI6. It's an intelligence organization and he got reports that they are Al Qaeda, these terrorist organizations. The Islamic army is predicting 50 to 60,000 casualties within the United States alone. We talk about 9, 11 was a $500,000 budget. Now we're sending 40 to $87 million.
Jane Doe
Yeah.
Sean Ryan
You know what, Is there any through your. Through your network? Have you heard anything about 50 to 60,000 casualties?
Jane Doe
I mean, if you say that it's going. I mean, they are talking about mass casualties. Okay. That was mentioned several times. And it's really not about to show off. Okay. I mean, if you see the 911 attack, it was all about, you know, destroying symbols. And I'm really not about numbers. I mean, 3,000 people died. Now it's all about mass slaughter. And because that's going to paralyze the entire nation. And it's not just about the casualties. Just imagine that services will be shut down. And if we.
Sean Ryan
What kind of services? Those type of services. Water, Police departments.
Jane Doe
Yeah. Emergency. I mean, hospitals will be overwhelmed, you know, taking care of casualties. Still, I'm not even talking about economic impacts. I mean, if it's happening just at the same time in several big American cities, you know, airlines, they will be stopped for sure. You know, standard operation procedure. So the economic impact of this and the chaos, what it's bringing with it and who you are going to trust after it, just so it's so wide, the impact. And they are aware of it. That's why they planned it. And that's why the Hamas attack was an amazing rehearsal, because they could see that, you know, step by step, line by line. What are the outcomes of an attack like this?
Sean Ryan
Let's dive in a little more specifically. Let's talk about the economic impact. What. But how would that affect the economy?
Jane Doe
Well, if you see the 9 11, I mean, the stock market was shut down, I think also for a week. I'm not sure about the time, but that can be predicted. Just to see how the goods are flowing, really. I'm talking about the local level. I think it's easier to explain just filling up the goods of the supermarket. You know, we talk about one week, two weeks, Will it happen? You don't know? Could you catch all of the shooters? Because we don't even know the number of the people in the cells. So it's this massive manhunt. Banks, you know, obviously they will be closed. So the economic impact of this is also. I wouldn't minimize it. So it has impact on every part of our lives.
Sean Ryan
Man, I didn't even think about that. I did not even think about that. So the hospitals will be overflowed, the first responders being the police, that will be completely taxed. There won't be enough of Them to go around. We already talked about proper allocation of resources, which would be extremely hard to do.
Jane Doe
Yeah, just imagine that there is a woman and it's time to delivery and the hospital is just dealing, I don't know, 100 casualties there, you know, so.
Sean Ryan
It'S talk about the invisible bomb. Are you familiar with this?
Jane Doe
Yeah. So it was, I don't think too many people paid attention. It was a video released in 2023. I was lucky because I saw the video. So I think it took for the authorities 30 minutes to remove from the Internet. But there was one website where you could watch the video I think for a couple of days. And yeah, the airlines are still in the plan, you know, to attack. And the invisible bomb, the interesting, it's a homemade explosives. So they, they guide you step by step how to make your own bomb home. And the most interesting part was they made, because it's even. They even talk about it in the video that they need this research where you can buy what, for example, what ingredients you cannot buy in the United States. Or it's tricky to buy because maybe the law enforcement is keeping an eye on the sales. So it's really detailed how to make it step by step. Of course, you need patience and it's not so easy as it sounds, but you can make it. And it's a powerful bomb. The trick, what they made about it is that when you prepare the bomb, you need to remove the smell, you know, of the explosive. And then after you cover it with silicone. And that's why. And it doesn't have metal parts, so it's chemically induced explosion. So metal detectors are useless. Dogs, dogs know because the silicone itself is just sealing the smell. So the only way is that. And even they, they show it in the, in the video. The only way to detect this bomb is that the body scanner. The only way.
Sean Ryan
Okay, so they go through metal detectors. Yeah, it's a dog can't sniff it. So this could easily get onto airlines pretty much anywhere that doesn't have the body scan machine, which most. I don't know how many airports have that now, but I think it's pretty safe to say that the.
Jane Doe
We even tell in the video that not too many airports have it. I mean, seriously. So detailed. I mean they did the recce at the airport and they are telling it that they check the airports. Not so many. You're talking about big airports, like, I don't know, I think in New York, jfk, they have it, they use it. But smaller airports, they don't.
Sean Ryan
Even some large airports don't.
Jane Doe
Yeah, they don't. And even in the video. So the video, it's about to make a homemade explosive, like half a kilo, which is powerful. They even demonstrate it so you can see it. And just two. Less than 200 grams. Oh, sorry, it's a European language. Grams. It's enough to make an explosion in an airplane, which is going to be catastrophic.
Sean Ryan
I mean, even. Even airplanes, I mean, that would be devastating. But you know, we're just talking airports. What about. What about major arenas, stadiums, concerts, football games, baseball games, hockey games, speaking events, hospitals, schools? I mean, the list goes on. Nobody has this type of technology except the major hub airports within the United States, which even some major hubs haven't even implemented this type of technology with the body scan yet.
Jane Doe
Yeah, and there are some airports, you know, when they do body search, but of course, they don't touch, for example, your intimate parts. You can hide it there.
Sean Ryan
How big is this?
Jane Doe
I mean, it showed like it's approximately, I don't know, like 20 centimeters. And it can contain half a kilo, which is really powerful. And is it about.
Sean Ryan
I mean, how thin is.
Jane Doe
I mean, it's like they even make the bomb. It's like mineral water bottle, you know, and actually they use a mineral water bottle to make it. Okay, okay, so it's like a half a liter bottle. You can make it.
Sean Ryan
What kind of devastation are we talking about?
Jane Doe
It was. It was shown on bricks, you know, they put together and yeah, it's powerful.
Sean Ryan
Could it. I mean, could it. Would it. Could it take a building out?
Jane Doe
No, that's not. But for example, if you just go there next to gas lines, you know, so the bomb itself, if you use one. Yeah, probably it's going to kill people around you, but it's not. We are not talking about huge vicinity of that, but if you have couple of ones and couple of people. Yeah.
Sean Ryan
Okay, so it wouldn't be. It wouldn't be like a vbid?
Jane Doe
No, no, no. Because it's big, you know, so you cannot. You can't hide it.
Sean Ryan
It wouldn't be. It wouldn't be as devastating as the typical suicide bomber that wears a vest.
Jane Doe
No.
Sean Ryan
Be a somewhat of a. I don't want to say minimal explosion, but compared to what we've seen overseas with. With a vest full of explosives or a car full of explosives, it wouldn't.
Jane Doe
They find a solution for that. So what they did is that. I don't know if you remember in Afghanistan they put even screws, you know, in the vest, you know, fragmentation. Yeah, exactly. So what they did now is, is that shredded? They shred plastic. It's like, you know, with a knife, you cut this hard plastic and it's sharp.

Jane Doe
And it's causing so similar injuries because they tested it.
Sean Ryan
So the entire. So even the fragmentation is not metal.
Jane Doe
Exactly. No, it's not metal.
Sean Ryan
Could it be used to initiate something larger? You know, a lot of explosives, you need an initiation to detonate the actual. The bigger explosive. Could this be used to. Could they daisy chain it?
Jane Doe
Yeah.
Sean Ryan
You know what I mean by daisy chain? Yes. Yeah, that'd be connected to others.
Jane Doe
Exactly. They can do that. So they are so smart, you know, they see the equipment, what you have, and they patiently take their time. How can I encounter it? How There is that gap. What I can use.
Sean Ryan
Is anyone listening to this stuff?
Jane Doe
I think to listen Sean first. So when we are listening to people first, we need to acknowledge that we don't know everything. Right. Also, we have to have openness, curiosity. What do you have to tell, isn't it? Right. But most of the times when I talk about these things, I mean, very often I meet people that, ah, no, Al Qaeda, no, they are gone. They are stupid. You know, this is just guys running around with AK47 and just. We really need to see how they are right now and where they are and. And you have to be humble to do that, to acknowledge that I don't know everything. So during these three and a half years, I made these amazing connections with analysts from, for example, from Switzerland, Australia, but even Pakistan. You know, everyone is saying, oh, because of the narratives. I listen to everyone because I don't know when I can learn or getting a new information. And I don't see that we are having that from our leaders, that. Okay, sit down. Tell me, what do you know? It's this. I'm sorry, I was actually looking for it. The proper English word is this arrogance, you know, and I can see that on analysts too. In the last. I mean, just my last year talking to them. No, no, it's not. How do you know that or show me evidences? Well, I'm not going to post on Twitter. Sorry, X. I'm not Going to post it. So it just theoretically, you know, let's sit down, talk. No, no, no, it's not like that. Actually I found what can be behind, you know, is that what Sarah I or my partner, we are going through? Is this going against the narrative?
Sean Ryan
The what?
Jane Doe
Going against the narrative.
Sean Ryan
You know, going against the narrative.
Jane Doe
Yeah, exactly. That Al Qaeda is gone. No, it's not gone. And just sit down one hour and I can prove it to you.
Sean Ryan
How do you prove it to him?
Jane Doe
Obviously the sources would prove a lot. This is where I struggle personally because I even thought that if the new administration is going to sit down and talk, I really need guarantee from them that they are going to protect the sources.
Sean Ryan
Yes, I read, I read in your outline that 22 of your assets have been murdered.
Jane Doe
Yes. Yeah, it's from my side and my partner, who can't be here because of his line of duty. He couldn't come and 22 gave his life. And everything points to their. They were burned by three letter agencies.
Sean Ryan
Are you serious?
Jane Doe
Yeah.
Sean Ryan
They were burned by American three letter agencies?
Jane Doe
Yes. I mean they were the only ones. I mean, you know, when you provide information to a government, you obviously you have to name your source, the position. They have to see that if the source is credible. And somehow, I mean, 22, that's a little bit high number to be coincident.
Sean Ryan
Yeah, I'd say. Do you know how the agencies are burning the assets?
Jane Doe
I mean, they are cooperating with the Taliban. But I would correct it. This is not a correct sentence. They are cooperating with jihadists. Okay. It's not just the Taliban. They're not talking about just the Taliban. They are cooperating with jihadists in Syria. We are, I don't know, consciously or subconsciously, we are cooperating also with jihadists. Al Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood in Libya. But just back to the Taliban. Yeah, we are receiving intelligence from them. They are our partner and I wouldn't even call them partner, Sean. They are our proxies.
Sean Ryan
Geez, geez, man. It's just gotten so bad. It's gotten so bad. So we talked about simultaneous attacks. Do you think that. Is there any intelligence that's saying that all of these different sleeper cells will attack at the same time or will be a couple here, couple there and just sprinkled throughout years or will it be all at once?
Jane Doe
It's difficult to tell, you know, because the plan itself, it's flexible. So they always can change.
Sean Ryan
So they'll do it on the fly.
Jane Doe
Yeah, it's like you initiate one cell, two and Then you say that, okay, it's not working so much out. Okay, let's abort.
Sean Ryan
Okay.
Jane Doe
Okay. So that's why it's difficult to predict. And here it our limitation because of humint. You know, Humint obviously has its own.
Sean Ryan
Limitations for the audience. Humin is human intelligence, meaning it's coming direct from humans.
Jane Doe
Yeah. And we have our limitations, but we are working on it as much as we can to get out and, and just to pass it someone who can do something.
Sean Ryan
I think one of the most alarming things that you mentioned is that there is no, there will be no SIGINT intelligence, it sounds like because of the couriers. And so, you know, when I was in, when we were working over there, a lot of it was intercepting cell phones communication devices. We were able to, to intercept those text threads, those conversations, those emails. And now that they're using couriers, it's only down to human, it sounds like.
Jane Doe
And also just as a plus, you know, China is helping the Taliban to protect this communication. So even if they are doing communication on the cell phone, it's protected by Chinese technicians.
Sean Ryan
So China is behind is, it's kind of assisting.
Jane Doe
You know, it's a symbiotic relationship. You know, they have a long term plan there. You know, in Afghanistan, I mean all the mining contracts, you know, we are talking about years. So it's kind of. Yeah, I'm having some income here, so I'm helping you. And just back to this cooperation. I didn't know the first time when I heard, I didn't know I should lie or cry. But when the Taliban meets the US officials, including the three letter agencies, right after the meeting, the Taliban actually is briefing China what was discussed during the meeting with U.S. officials.
Sean Ryan
How much, how much of the Islamic Army's funding is coming from the minerals that we, well, I guess we didn't give up that China took control of. I mean, I know there's been negotiations between China and Taliban over the lithium mines. Afghanistan's very rich in lithium. We obviously, we, we just left it to them when we, when we withdrew from Afghanistan. How much income are the terrorist organizations receiving from China to build these lithium mines?
Jane Doe
Al Qaeda doesn't receive it directly, so they get it via the Taliban. Right. You know, as an income. So they have their own revenue. What I know that is money coming from gold mines, gem mines, drug trafficking, you know, Al Qaeda has a revenue. I would say that until, I mean what I could track it was annually around $500 million. $500 million goes directly to Al Qaeda.
Sean Ryan
So less than what the US Is funding just in cash.
Jane Doe
Yeah, exactly. And you know, I don't get the point. I mean, how do you expect them to take your side when you pay less? And I think basically the approach is wrong. I had last. No in 2023 I had a discussion with the Taliban. He's. I mean on the ranking is like up. And he just told me that you people are so arrogant and you can believe that if you pay, we are going to whatever you want. And you know, so, so correct.
Sean Ryan
How does Russia fall into this? I mean, we're obviously not friendly with Russia as the Russia Ukraine conflict continues. However, we did see was it ISIS K that did the attack on the Russian mall. And so are the Russians. How do I say this? Are the Russians. We know China, this, this. We know that China obviously benefits from what the terrorist organizations plan on doing to Europe and the west being the US Does Canada fall into this at all?
Jane Doe
Yeah.
Sean Ryan
What about South America and Central America?
Jane Doe
They are not much.
Sean Ryan
No. So what is, what is Russia's stance on this? Are they taking precautions? I mean, they took a big hit. It was bigger than.
Jane Doe
Is it a big hit to have a attack in a mall? I mean, just because, you know, it's the first thing which came up in my mind when I saw, you know, the social media after the attack. You know, in Russia it was like the. This bandwagon, you know, I escape event global. They are deadly. They are this and that. And come on, man, look at the scale of the attack. It was like the guy almost like in New Orleans. No. So if you see the casualties.
Sean Ryan
Well, there was multiple shooters there, wasn't there?
Jane Doe
Yes.
Sean Ryan
And the casualty rate was a lot.
Jane Doe
Yeah, it was higher.
Sean Ryan
More.
Jane Doe
Yeah. Russia currently is helping the Taliban to rebuild the weapon system in Afghanistan. I mean, there are Russian soldiers, Dresden civilian, but they are soldiers, technicians helping the Taliban to repair tanks, aircrafts which are coming from the Russian time. It's beneficial for them because obviously they get paid for it. We saw as a Wagner group, actually. I don't know their nature. I know they are there. I know they are in Kabul. There are a couple of ones also in the north. I don't know where actually they belong, but they are Russian.
Sean Ryan
So they've potentially made amends.
Jane Doe
Yeah. And you know, they are helping to fix tanks, airplanes, helicopters. So it's also another symbiotic relationship.
Sean Ryan
I mean, they tortured those guys. They tortured those guys that shot those people at the mall.
Jane Doe
Yeah, yeah. But it's one attack. It's One attack. And this is where it gets interesting. If I see, I mean, when you see ISKP or the Islamic State in Afghanistan, it's interesting how it developed. So in 2023, somehow, actually I couldn't track it. How Gulmorod Kalimov, he was the number two in the Islamic State, appeared in Afghanistan in a prison in Nimrus Province. I mean, we couldn't track it how he ended up there. But he was there. And then he was transported in 2024, was transported to the north and started to set up training centers. Don't think, I mean, big training bases, they were small centers dealing like, I don't know, 20, 30 people. And these fighters were coming from Central Asian countries, coming through the border. I mean, by the help of the Taliban and the gdi, the Taliban intelligence, Gulmorot Kalimov's key role there is that training these foreign fighters. Send it to Central Asian countries or even to Russia, you know, just to destabilize Russia. Gulmorod Kolimov has a very close connection with Serajuddin Hakani. So when we started to talk about. Also Sarah here talked about Wolmirat Kolimov and the training centers. So they removed all this to the other side of the Afghan border. So this, you know, these tribal areas in Pakistan, because they started to talk about it. And obviously on the north Afghans in the north of Afghanistan, they talk a lot, you know, because these people are, you know, they don't belong to there. And this was reported, Sean, There was a report about this. Yes.
Sean Ryan
Wow.
Jane Doe
And 2023, the Taliban GDI director, Abdul Haq Wasik, I don't know if you heard about it. He's a former Gitmo detainee. Actually he went by private jet to Italy and participated an intelligence conference. I don't know what was on the conference, honestly. You know, I always confess if I don't know something, so I don't make it up. But suddenly they started to arrest Tajik nationals, you know, ISIS related nationals in Europe. So I guess they put him on working, you know, he was kind of tipping off, you know, the European agencies. But I have one question. To the European agencies. I know how many people are passing every month from Central Asian countries to Afghanistan. How many they are arresting in Europe. Do these two numbers are matching each other?
Sean Ryan
What are they?
Jane Doe
I don't think so. I mean, there are a couple of arrests. I mean, if Sirajuddin Haqqani is smart, what they would do? I train more, I tip off A couple of useful idiots so they can see me as a potential counterterrorist partner and the rest just let them working.
Sean Ryan
So another diversion.
Jane Doe
Exactly. And I know it's almost every month between 60 and 80 foreign fighters are entering Afghanistan. So. And it was interesting because I was thinking why they put this guy, you know, Washik to this conference. And last week I found the solution actually that he even in the past he offered his help to the American government, you know, to capture the Taliban intelligence chief. So I think they just returned to this information, you know, okay, this guy offered one, so now he will be useful. I can tell you he is not useful because I'm pretty sure he is not tipping off every single incoming fighters.
Sean Ryan
How are these guys convoluting with the cartels? You kind of mentioned that earlier that they, they had close ties within Mexican cartels.
Jane Doe
Yeah, it's all about money, you know, it's business for everyone. I mean Al Qaeda and the Taliban, but mainly Al Qaeda had relationship with them in the past too. They used disorganized crime groups to for example, get nuclear material. So that's what they are using now. I know that they are cooperating with Russian organized crime groups and they are helping to get some stuff in, you know, crossing our borders, including the United States border.
Sean Ryan
How long have they been convoluting with cartels?
Jane Doe
I mean, it's what I, I mean the problem here is that what I have access to, I have capacity just to track specific things. So the time, I don't know, but I know there are materials. For example, the Albanian mafia is taking cash into Europe sent by Sirajuddin Haqqani and I mean money bags. Is the Albanian mafia there, for example? Here? I know that it's the, the cartel. It's. Yeah, it's probably about weapon and other things. Why? Because they are here. You know, the local guys, they know the flow.
Sean Ryan
Yeah, they're good at it. They're good at it. What, what are, what would Al Qaeda, what is their long term plan? What is their short term plan on top of that, Is it the same long term, short term plan for not just Al Qaeda, but for isis, for Al Shabaab, for Taliban? Is it all one plan?
Jane Doe
I mean, kind of sort of what Al Qaeda is doing now? And we have to asolute into what they are doing on one specific spot. Al Qaeda's short term plan now is that short and middle term is that trying to support local jihadist groups to form a government to take over a.
Sean Ryan
Country, to take over an entire Country.
Jane Doe
Yeah, exactly. It's like what the Taliban did.
Sean Ryan
They just did it in Afghanistan.
Jane Doe
They did it in. Now they did it in Syria. So it's what people don't understand about Syria, that it's. And it's a really trick what our governments and the media is doing that I don't know if you follow the news, what happened in Syria. So the guy changed his suit. You know, he's in suit ties, he's using his name, real name, not the nom de guerre. And he's meeting our politicians. So he's changed. And that's what every analyst are saying now who have government contracts. He's changed because he's saying that I can tell you that, that those fighters were trained in Afghanistan. And Al Julanis, because I use his fighter name, I'm not using his civilian name. He sent people to those meetings with Al Qaeda and he cooperated.
Sean Ryan
Do you have any idea what country they plan on conquering, taking over?
Jane Doe
It's not just physical. Okay, imagine that. It's interesting to see, for example, Libya. The Libyan government is pegged by Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood. And we are dealing with them soon, Sean. We are going to buy oil from them.

Sean Ryan
What about you? Yemen?
Jane Doe
Yeah, man. Yeah, the Houthis. I mean, in 2022. I already told that and there were other reports. Okay, so I'M not painting myself as a genius, it's just I'm also reading a lot. So these you know, institutions reports. For example, there is amazing institution called Sana center, they are reporting about Yemen. Also they mentioned that it seems like Al Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula, you know, akab, one of the affiliate of Al Qaeda, Al Qaeda Barentry in Yemen is showing some interest to cooperate with the Houthis and everyone. No, no, Houthis are Shia, Akapi, Sunni. They hate each other. Again, old dogma. Well, they are working together and it was publicly released last year. So we need to overcome this barrier, these old dogmas to see that like you know, like you see it's a new organization. Let's discover it. Somalia, Somalia is struggling, you know, that the Al Shabaab can't win. You know, they, they are just, I mean they are fighting with the government. Obviously it came up, oh, we should negotiate with Al Shabaab because all these terrorist organizations or these jihadist groups, what they do, they realize that Taliban communicated highlighting local interest and we buy it. So when we negotiate with Al Shabaabi in Somalia. Oh, Al Shabaab is busy just with local agendas. Yeah, but that's not true.
Sean Ryan
How much influence do they have within more well to do countries throughout the Middle east and East Africa? Do they have, do they have influence in Saudi Arabia? Do they have influence in Oman? Do they have influence in United Arab Emirates, countries that are wealthy countries?
Jane Doe
Well, they use the Muslim Brotherhood, you know, which kind of, I mean Al Qaeda, the Islamic State, you know, they are rooted to the Muslim Brotherhood and the Muslim Brotherhood loves to portray itself as a non violent group. However, they are the political wing of this Islamic army. Why I'm saying it, it's because the Muslim Brotherhood is banned in Arab countries, for example Saudi Arabia, Jordan, they are banned. And what the Muslim Brotherhood has tried to do again during the horse attack is fueling internal tensions. You know, telling to these Muslim leaders are infidels. They are serving just the van. They are not protecting other Muslims. They are supporting Israel, you know, on the war on Gaza. What these countries do is that they break it down very hard. I mean if they hear a speech from a radical imam in a mosque, the guy will be arrested on the next day. You know, they just don't give any gap for these radicals to plant a seed.
Sean Ryan
So they don't have much control in those countries is what you're saying.
Jane Doe
I mean they have some, I think the weak link. What we could witness during the homosex, I mean after the homosex, what I saw the weak link was Jordan. Jordan is a country, you know, depends on also aid. And they had a very strong Muslim Brotherhood inside work. I mean, they were preachers, you know, in the mosque, asking the people to break in to Israel, kill Americans. They struggled, but somehow they were able to control it. But I know that during the, I mean from the meetings during the, I mean, right after the Hamas attack, Al Qaeda central had weekly meeting with the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan to discuss how to cause more issues within the society, fueling, you know, tensions, asking the people for protest to weaken. King Abdullah. Weekly. Weekly. I mean they had these amazing, I mean, amazing meetings every week, coordinating military commanders in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt. They did it every single week.
Sean Ryan
What about Western Asia or actually any Asian countries? Do they have influence there? Just, I'm trying to get a overall picture of how much influence they have throughout the world. So South America, Central America, we know they're among the cartels. Let's go to Asia.
Jane Doe
It's global. It's global. It's just directly what I can see. And you know, this is why I often call Afghanistan as the fountain head of global jihad. Because it's not just the Taliban, it's Al Qaeda together. So what I could see that they are providing physical support. I'm talking about weapon, ammunition, financial support, money to 19 countries.
Sean Ryan
Can you name them?
Jane Doe
Yes. So we have here, Afghanistan. Saudi east is going to Pakistan, Jammu and Kashmir. We have Bangladesh, Myanmar, Indonesia and Malaysia. We have the whole Middle East. Then we have Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Morocco, Jordan and the Sahel itself, you know, Burkina Faso, Somali. That's what they do. And they have facilitators in every embassies.
Sean Ryan
And this is the long term plan.
Jane Doe
The long term plan is to establish the caliphate.
Sean Ryan
So the taking over countries is a short term plan?
Jane Doe
Yeah, it's taking more and more, you know, it's kind of, it's physical. Imagine this plan, it has two ways. You have one physical, you know, just trying to put more and more countries where these Islamists are ruling. That's what you can see, for example in the Sahel. And then you establish governments which are backed by these terrorist groups. And the long term plan is to have this Islamic caliphate ruled by Sharia law. The short term plan is getting more and more countries, so expanding, you know, expanding your influence, expanding your power, expanding your networks. This is what they are doing now. So when people are telling me that Al Qaeda is recovering in Afghanistan, they are reorganizing stuff. It's wrong Al Qaeda is full operational. Actually, they jumped another level where now we are talking about massive innovations. What they are doing, they have so many scientists.
Sean Ryan
Sean, let's move into the Caliphate. Can you explain what that is?
Jane Doe
Yeah, it's basically Sharia ruled system. Exactly what we are seeing in Afghanistan and it's just not having any western influence on it. So actually the long term goal is quite simple. Where they do all these tricks is this short and middle term, like making the people believe that if someone is changing the clothes and start to use the real name, that guy is our friend. And this is when we are not paying attention.
Sean Ryan
Break it down a little bit more basic with the Caliphate. Okay, what is it?
Jane Doe
Caliphate? Is that the. It's a system. I would say it's a government system which is running a country. And you don't, you have. I don't know, I mean, should he, should I explain this Sharia law, You know, it's.
Sean Ryan
Yes.
Jane Doe
Okay. Basically it's defined by the religion itself. It has its own judicial system, its own educational system, for example. They don't have so many subject to teach which is related to science. So it's basically, it's all this about the, the religion. Honestly, the Caliphate is not my strength. That's more about other members of the team. But yeah, that's the, that's the, that's the plan. I, I think that.
Sean Ryan
So it's basically a global, a global type government that falls under Sharia law.
Jane Doe
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Sean Ryan
That's what they want. That's the long term plan.
Jane Doe
That's a long term plan. And, and I think this is the key where their strength is that we, we don't plan on a long term. Our leaders are planning for four years. They have this plan and you know it. You cannot even put a timeline onto it because if it adds. Jesse Perilla wrote, you know, he just released the book and I love the title. If it takes a thousand years. Yeah, doesn't matter. Keep going.
Sean Ryan
Like China.
Jane Doe
Like China, exactly. So they are learning.
Sean Ryan
In their, in their eyes, what, what does. What constitutes a takeover of a country?
Jane Doe
That's a good one.
Sean Ryan
Where do they find what is successful in their minds when it comes to taking over an entire country?
Jane Doe
When you start to talk to them and negotiate with them. That's already a good point. It's already a good point. I mean, just to see that we know that couple of people in the central Libyan bank, they are Al Qaeda members and they are controlling, I mean, millions of dollars. We are negotiating with them. I mean we are Having trade with.
Sean Ryan
Them, it's not necessarily planting a flag.
Jane Doe
Yeah, no, it's not. It's influence.
Sean Ryan
It's how much influence they have over.
Jane Doe
And they have a massive influence in Europe. It's crazy to see that. How? I mean, it has a history. Like after 2001, you know, the 911 attack, obviously societies developed, you know, this anti Muslim attitude. So for example, in Europe we used NGOs, you know, to kind of calm down, you know, this kind of attitude. Because obviously it's not about religion. I mean, we can't say that every Muslim, you know, they are terrorists. It's not true. We know that it's nothing to do actually with the religion itself. And these NGOs just got so powerful, especially in Europe, that they are influencing governments. For example in Switzerland.
Sean Ryan
Switzerland.
Jane Doe
Switzerland seems so neutral, actually is a center of terrorism in Europe.
Sean Ryan
Are you serious?
Jane Doe
I work with, I mean, I work with several analysts and I have several partners. You know, obviously, you know, I cannot reach out to every countries, but we have Swiss partners and they are telling us that was going on in Switzerland. Terrorist recruitment, financing, terrorism. And actually there are terrorists who proved to belong to Al Qaeda and they are Swiss nationals and the government is not deporting. There was, I think recently, two or three months ago that they could suspect the guy belonged to Al Qaeda and they couldn't deport him because of the law.
Sean Ryan
Because of the what law?
Jane Doe
Because of the law, you know, he has a second citizenship or got the refugee status and you can't deport.
Sean Ryan
You brought up scientists and innovation just a few minutes ago. What kind of, what kind of innovations are they doing right now other than this invisible bomb?
Jane Doe
So I think that kind of shows that the operational part is running right, because it's just running by itself. It's set up, it's working. So what they did is that they have scientists there, what we know they have microbiologists who are working in biological labs developing weapon of mass destruction. They are working on it. Even the UN reported that they have weapons engineers.
Sean Ryan
Weapon what?
Jane Doe
Weapon engineers.
Sean Ryan
Weapon engineers.
Jane Doe
Yes. To build new weapons, for example. We know that they are working on drones.
Sean Ryan
So we're potentially facing biological warfare as well.
Jane Doe
It's on the platter. Yes.
Sean Ryan
What kind of biological weapons?
Jane Doe
We exactly don't know, not yet.
Sean Ryan
Viruses.
Jane Doe
They are working on modifying agents to make it more lethal. And there is an Al Qaeda microbiologist and he was detained. His name is Yazid Sufat. He is a Malaysian, actually, he's a former military. He studied in the United States and he was detained until 2019. Then his close monitoring ended in 2021, 2022, he was already working in Afghanistan in a lab.
Sean Ryan
Were they testing these?
Jane Doe
They already tested.
Sean Ryan
Tested where?
Jane Doe
In Afghanistan.
Sean Ryan
What was the outcome? It's working, it's working. What else are they innovating?
Jane Doe
These are the two, what we actually.
Sean Ryan
Know until now, drones and biological warfare. The invisible bomb, which is already.
Jane Doe
Yeah, that's, that's already done, you know, and the invisible bat. So they are just doing their job. And I think the crazy part is that they do all this without intelligence interference, foreign intelligence interference.
Sean Ryan
Let's talk about a little bit about the role of Turkey.
Jane Doe
Yeah. So Turkeys, I mean it's been on the news obviously because of Syria. And Turkey always hosted and shattered the Muslim Brotherhood. And since, you know, they are kind of neighbors, they had very good relationship with jihadist groups in Syria. I am not so sure Turkey's goal yet. I'm trying to see if they are helping to spread the sentiment of Islam, Jihad or they are just exploiting these terrorist groups and it's kind of expanding their interest, their power. I still need to see this because. Yeah, but my capacity is really, really limited on this field. And let's see what's going to. But I need to see before I claim something. I suspect that it's a symbiotic relationship that we are working together. I mean if you say Turkey is in Somalia now, they have got huge influence on Syria. So Qatar, Qatar. Qatar is a difficult case because several things happened. I just saw after the Hamas attack that there was an Islamic scholar group which visited Afghanistan. It was in 2023, February. And they met Sirajuddin Haqqani and they gave him a gift which was a replica of the Al Aqsa mosque. And you know how they call the Hamas attack Al Aqsa flood. So that was interesting. I don't know what happened on the meeting, but I found it interesting. And this Islamic scholar group is funded by Qatar. Plus we have information that, that until now, like I don't want to say exact number, but more than 10 times plans landed in Kabul delivering M4 rifles to the Taliban, which is a violation of the embargo.
Sean Ryan
Wow. These guys network is a lot bigger than I thought.
Jane Doe
And plus we had this, I don't know if you heard about it, we had this Qatar gate that how Qatar is kind of buying influence in Europe. So there were several European politicians, you know, they got caught because they received money from Qatar. So they are massively influencing decision makers and, and policymakers in Europe. And there were a couple of European politicians spoke up, you know, saying that, come on people, we need to stop Qatar. We are doing what Qatar is saying. And then they got labeled, oh, you are far right, you are Islamophobic, you hate refugees. So they were completely discarded. But in Europe we have a massive influence of Qatar and, and we are not doing anything. It's just going by the flow.
Sean Ryan
Gdi. Can you explain what GDI is?
Jane Doe
Yeah, so it's a Taliban secret service. Obviously the intelligence service of the Taliban.
Sean Ryan
So the GDI is the Taliban's version of CIA? Yes, yeah, it's an intelligence organization. Organization of the Taliban.
Jane Doe
Yeah. It's ran by Abdul Haqvashik, you know, the former Gitmo detainee guy, which is, I think he's kind of playing his role in the system. The most interesting person in the GDI is Tajmir Jawad. He's a deputy and he has a very important role in Al Qaeda. He is representing the Haqqani network in Al Qaeda. When it comes about decisions or something coming from the Haqqani network, it's him who is representing Sirajuddin Haqqani. It was couple of months ago when Al Qaeda wanted to send suicide bombers to the west bank and it was Tajmir Jawad who used his veto and said, no, I don't think, I think we should wait. So he has a very good position. Otherwise, what the GDI is doing is providing protection and undisturbed condition to every training centers, training bases. They are responsible for the security of Al Qaeda members. They're traveling around Afghanistan. So that's their main job. And, and yeah, it's trying to find the people who are talking.
Sean Ryan
And so is GDI the intelligence service for not just Taliban but Al Qaeda, isis?
Jane Doe
Yeah.
Sean Ryan
So it's, it's, it's basically the Islamic Brotherhood's intelligence. Yes, yeah, it covers it. It top covers all of these terrorist organizations.
Jane Doe
Yes, yes, they do. Do they do.
Sean Ryan
Where is their headquarters?
Jane Doe
It's in Kabul. They are operating from there. They have several departments and yeah, they are like one.
Sean Ryan
What are the departments? How is the GDI broken up?
Jane Doe
I mean they have one department specifically which is taking care of the security of the Al Qaeda members. And there are one department, for example, they have SIGINT department I just described. They have SIGINT department which was actually very active around safe houses where Al Qaeda members are. They constantly checking if there is any foreign SIGINT activity. So this is how they take so, seriously, the protection of Al Qaeda members in. In.
Sean Ryan
In Afghanistan, how long has the GDI been around?
Jane Doe
I mean, it's like. Yeah, it was established right after Kabul fell, you know, and that's their main job.
Sean Ryan
So about, what, four years?
Jane Doe
Yeah, yeah.
Sean Ryan
Do they have operators in the field throughout the world?
Jane Doe
I don't know that part. I don't know that part. Honestly, how can you network? Yeah, sure, yeah. That's a global organization. But the gdi, I don't know. I know that there are people in the United States directly being connected to the GDI. I know that.
Sean Ryan
So they have operatives inside the U.S. yes. And in Europe.
Jane Doe
And in Europe as well. They are directly communicating with them. I know that.
Sean Ryan
What are they doing? Are they conducting surveillance? Are they infiltrating media? Are they. What, What? They're lobbying, obviously.
Jane Doe
Yeah, they are lobbying. That's what they do. I think also what they are doing is trying to identify Afghans abroad, you know, who can be potentially your help, you know, kind of source or they are trying to help you because, you know, a lot of Afghans, I mean, who are here, they have their family in Afghanistan, so they know what's going on in Afghanistan, so they can be very helpful for you. So I know that a lot of Afghans here in the United States, but also in Europe, they are so afraid to speak because they can be found. They know who are here, you know, from the Haqqani network or from the Kandahari Taliban, who are potentially working for the Taliban. They know that, but they are just so afraid to speak up because they are afraid they will be deported because they can see that our governments are protecting the Taliban.
Sean Ryan
So they're also. The operatives are also developing assets and creating their own networks.
Jane Doe
Yes, they do.
Sean Ryan
How effective are they compared to an organization like CIA or MI6?
Jane Doe
I think they are not much. I think their effectiveness relies in simplicity in what they are so simply working, you know, it just really. They are taking their time. They are super smart. It's like one thing, what I know, there was one guy in the United States, his job was given by the Taliban by the Haqqani network is trying to check and monitor social media to see which Afghans are speaking up or potentially sharing information. That was his job, and he got paid for it. So they are very simple things, what they are using.
Sean Ryan
So when they recruit an asset, are they paying the asset or they threatening the asset?
Jane Doe
Yeah, they do. They do. Sometimes they threat. When they threat. Usually what I could see is that, yeah, they are not Speaking. They are not speaking. And I don't know if you've seen that. There was this Afghan athlete, female athlete, spoke about, you know, the Afghan cricket team and she's receiving death threats and she has protection from the French police. So it went that far. So they have power in our countries. They really can make people's lives. Hal.
Sean Ryan
What have we now covered yet?
Jane Doe
Oh, a lot. I mean, it's just we could talk, you know, days about these things. I think what we need to understand is that these groups are getting together. They had already their interlinks before. Now they are cooperating. Shia and Sunni, which we claim that they hate each other. I think we need to see that we are running out of proxies. We ad hoc teaming up with militias. We are using them for our interest, which is okay. But after four years you change it and you start to pay the opponent force. And we are running out of proxy. So these groups are learning and they know that I can play to be your friend, so I get money. But at the end of the day, I still hate you and I still will do an attack on your own soil. And they are cooperating and they are learning from it. So they are not just cooperating, they are learning from it how we can do better and we still don't want to kind of accept it. And we are using these groups to encounter Russia and China. So it's just, I've never thought I'm going to witness something like this.
Sean Ryan
What is US Intelligence's relationship with Taliban?
Jane Doe
Oh, they are having meetings. I mean, it was 2022 and I don't want to be 2022 or 23, but I think it was 22 when already we had photo of CIA contractors in Kabul. So what? We know that they are not all the time there. They are traveling there frequently. I know that they share intelligence. I mean, share intelligence. The Taliban is feeding the system with sort of intelligence about the ISKP and about the Al Qaeda in the Indian subcontinent. That's it. They are, you know, these small pieces of information and lies. And the United States is not taking any effort to verify this information. And here it comes. You can say that. Oh, oh, someone told me that. Oh, because they are stupid. They are not stupid. So seriously, so the CIA is not stupid. It's just that's the political order. There is nothing to see. Move on. And it's good for us, you know, when they are lying for us, it's good for us. We don't need to do anything with that. So you don't need to admit that we are facing you know serious threat. Obviously Afghanistan was taken over by Taliban and Al Qaeda because when you reach these conclusions the next step is you need to do something and no one wants to do anything there.
Sean Ryan
Back to the gdi. I forgot to mention this. Is the GDI still holding American hostages?
Jane Doe
Yes.
Sean Ryan
How many?
Jane Doe
But I know it's three who are there and it was this I want to say because I know just his family. This hobby be, you know he's an Afghan American citizen and it was just denied such a long time, you know. No, he's not there. They don't have him. Yes, they have him.
Sean Ryan
This is verified.
Jane Doe
This is verified. They have him.
Sean Ryan
Do you know where he's being held?
Jane Doe
Well, we tried to track him and the law last information what we've got is that already the Haqqani network and Al Qaeda has him. But where? We don't know the location.
Sean Ryan
What are their plans for this? Are they planning on using our hostages as negotiations?
Jane Doe
Oh yes. That's what they are going to do. That's what they are doing. I mean it just. You have American citizen, this Ryan Corbett who is in as far as I know his medical condition is deteriorating very fast and is still there and you're still sending money. You know, it's just the CIA contractors are passing there every week.
Sean Ryan
All right, who are the other two?
Jane Doe
This hobby B. I know and I know Ryan Corbett, the third one, I don't know the name. They were not my focus.
Sean Ryan
Are they torturing them?
Jane Doe
As far as I know, no. Except habibi. They do habibi. They do the U.S. citizens. No, they don't.
Sean Ryan
Why are they torturing him? What do they want to get out of that?
Jane Doe
They believe he played sort of a role for. In the. In the collecting intelligence about Ayman Al Zawahiri, you know, when he was killed in Kabul. That's what they believe as far as I know. But I think they, I mean as really the information I have, they don't touch the. The US citizens. However I believe just to know the conditions there that's already a torture.
Sean Ryan
Yeah. So imagine.
Jane Doe
Yeah.
Sean Ryan
What kind of negotiations do you think they'll initiate with our hostages?
Jane Doe
I think they will play now differently, you know because of the new administration. I think they are keep trying to sell, you know, we are your friends and we are your counter terrorist partners. I don't know how it's going to work but what I see globally and also in Afghanistan, that it's a chess game and, and it doesn't matter where we step or what we do. It's checkmate. You know, we don't have so many options to do. I'm just telling you an example. Yeah, you have the hostages there, so yeah, yeah, sure. You don't pay anymore. Okay, we kill them. And what you do, you invade Afghanistan. Well, it's not going to be that easy like in, you know, in 2001. So you won't do that. So you see, we don't have so many options anymore.
Sean Ryan
I mean it's going to be a lot harder to. If we were to go back there, I mean, we've burned all of our allies who would come work with us.
Jane Doe
Oh, I think there are still, I mean even, you know, hearing the Taliban that so many are disappointed. You know, they had this holy war propaganda for 20 years, you know, fighting against America, you know, the big evil. And now they realize that actually the Taliban is the same corrupt, you know, as the government was. They are not receiving salary. So they don't have that such a good life. I mean the top they have. So the Taliban, I mean from the middle level also are not so satisfied.
Sean Ryan
And to your knowledge, has there been any attempts to recover our hostages?
Jane Doe
I don't know.
Sean Ryan
Is it even being discussed?
Jane Doe
I really don't know. I've got couple of questions, but they are not my focus. I'm mainly focusing on ARCA as the central leadership.
Sean Ryan
Do they have any European hostages?
Jane Doe
Oh, they have, have not just American, they have. Yeah.
Sean Ryan
So European hostages.
Jane Doe
As far as I know, they have 26.
Sean Ryan
26 European hostages. And is Europe doing anything to recover the house?
Jane Doe
I don't know. You know, it's. I mean when I see Europe, it's. It's like there is no communication. I mean seriously, Europe is not talking about Afghanistan. You don't even find it somewhere mentioned. Oh yeah, they are talking about, sorry, what projects they are funding for the Taliban and that's it. They don't now the narrative. I mean it's all the information. It's all about, you know, the Ukrainian and Russia war that's controlling the entire information space in Europe.
Sean Ryan
Are the Europeans even aware that they have hostages?
Jane Doe
I don't think so. I don't think so. I mean I just coincidentally saw it in one of the reports. But otherwise no one is talking about it. It. No one.
Sean Ryan
Is Europe doing anything to combat what's coming to them?
Jane Doe
I don't think so.
Sean Ryan
How would they begin?
Jane Doe
I don't know. I think we still believe that, you know, it's. We pay the Taliban. And they are, they need our money, but they don't need our money. And I really don't see this because there is no communication with European agencies or decision makers. Zero, nothing. We have couple of, I mean for example, we had couple of people who reached out to us and said, come on, how can we cooperate better? They are fighting the same battle as like Sarah and Scotman is doing here, you know, trying to push, you know, politicians to listen and do something, something. But in, in Europe, it's harder.
Sean Ryan
How would you define politicized intelligence?
Jane Doe
Yeah, that's, I mean just, just to see the last four years, you know, I, I, I mean that's what I felt on my skin is that if, if a government decides something is not comfortable, something doesn't fit the political agenda, even on the intelligence field, it's just ignored. And this is how Al Qaeda is. You know, they don't even mention Al Qaeda. I think I heard maybe five or six times in the last couple of months, which is already an improvement. It's this using the power to. You don't collect information based on threats. You collect information based on political agenda. Like isis. It's been ever. It's just isis, Al Qaeda. No, they don't exist. Yeah, but we have this, it doesn't exist. And this is extremely dangerous because that means you are missing information and they can be vital. And I could, I mean my partner, you know, he's American. He had direct contact with three letter agencies. I didn't, of course, I'm not American. He had and he screwed up. I mean he was screwed up so many times by three letter agencies. Like there was one three letter agency who told him, don't submit anything to us which is about Afghans or Afghanistan. But why? Because you don't care. That's the order coming from, from the top.
Sean Ryan
Geez. I've heard this a couple times. I've heard it from congressmen at different events that the agency has reached out and told them to stop, just stop talking about it, cease the conversation. This is done.
Jane Doe
Yeah, but is it, isn't it childish? You know, it's like when you have your children, you know, and they say this sick and tied, you know, and they just. I'm hiding.
Sean Ryan
Yeah, yeah. Out of everything that we talked about. What do you think that the, the biggest threat to the incoming Trump administration is when it comes to terrorism?
Jane Doe
It's, it's a little bit complex because I mean, what I can speak about the Trump administration, it's, it's coming from the media okay, So I don't live here. So what I saw is that the new administration want to make major changes, right? In, I don't know, I heard the FBI, intelligence agencies, security forces, that can be a very sensitive point, because if they initiate the attack, when you do these changes, that can influence the response. Right? So this is one. The other thing is that I knew when they saw the news, Al Qaeda central saw the news first. They were very upset President Trump won. But after 10, 15 minutes, Saif Al Ada said, bring it on. So they know that they have a specific plan for the Trump administration. And it's all about, if you see the political agenda of President Trump, it's all about, for example, bringing troops home, right? To decrease the American military presence. You will be dragged into conflicts and you won't be able to do that. Because if you do it, you say that it's another example. You have an attack on an embassy, let's say that, and they will order, okay, let's find who did it. Setting up, you know, a unit, find the perpetrators. Still troops are there. But if you don't go after them, the restored American image, which was, you know, another promise, you know, during the election, that's not going to happen. So that's why the next US Administration don't have. I mean, those decision makers, they don't have too many options, Sean. It's a very sophisticated chess game, and they will need a very good chess player.
Sean Ryan
Do you feel we have any good chess players coming in?
Jane Doe
Oh, I don't know. Or just see the other things that these attacks, it will have economic impacts. So his other plan, you know, to make some economic improvements, it's not going to happen.
Sean Ryan
I got a lot of faith in Mike Waltz. He's the incoming national security advisor. And I hope he's paying attention. I know he is, but he's got a big job to fill and two more questions before we end. I already think I know the answer to one. But is there any possible scenario where we make peace with these organizations?
Jane Doe
No, because they don't want peace. You know, I heard this, that we make peace with our enemy, right? It's correct if the enemy wants peace. But this enemy doesn't want peace, they don't stop. I mean, we passed that stage long time ago. So when we say that, okay, I made a peace deal with them, it was like the Doha Agreement. And, you know, you tried, okay, it failed. So, okay, move on, you know, so solve the problem. And we always discard what these groups want, why they are equal players. They have their own 50% in this game. Why are we dismissing that? It's a little bit like self centered, what we want. Yeah, but look at what they want. And I think it's really important when I see Europe is that, you know, when I heard President Trump said we make America great again, you know, we are super power. And it's like being the big brother because I can see that Europe is doing what, you know, following the American flow. But, you know, to be powerful and being big also requires and comes with responsibility. And I think this is what decision makers and politicians need to understand. You have to take the responsibility and you have to be very careful with it because if you don't take responsibility to be great or being powerful, death has serious consequences.
Sean Ryan
What recommendations? And this is the last question. What recommendations do you have for the Trump administration? What do they need to fix first.
Jane Doe
From this point of view? First is that they need to see what happened in the last four years. It's kind of, you know, damage assessment. You have to see what happened. And it's really important for them to be ready to see the ugly truth because jihadist groups are our proxies. And I don't know how can you turn that around. And you have to identify lobbies in the United States from the Muslim Brotherhood, from Al Qaeda, from the Taliban. You have to find them and you have to isolate them. If they are double citizens, you know, just rip off the citizenship, go home, please. You know, you're, you're a personal non grata here. And also see that, you know, someone used this. So it's really not my words, Al Qaeda, I mean, terrorism is like a tumor. You find it and it has been growing in the last four years. So you can't do that to ignore it. So the coming administration has to deal with it. They will not have another choice. Why? Because it's already here. One of the, I mean, this spreading cancer cells we are having here and we are having in Europe. So you, they don't have a choice. And the other thing, what I would really love to see finally from someone being active and not reactive.
Sean Ryan
Yeah, me too, me too. Me too. I don't know exactly where we would start, but everything seems reactive now. I think where we would start is prepping the local communities and getting them up to speed on this and allocation of resources, hardening up school security, hardening up arenas, hardening up stadiums, figuring out how we detect these invisible bombs. I think those would be the, in my opinion, those would be the first steps on what we need to do to start to secure this.
Jane Doe
It's kind of urgent. Yeah, it is.
Sean Ryan
You know, instead of waiting until the next one happens and then you get that local community ready when it's already going to be somewhere else. And so I think I'm with you. The administration needs to get the local communities to be more proactive. There needs to be more funding. Yeah. You know, I lied. I said there was one last question. I have one more. We just saw these wildfires.
Jane Doe
Yes.
Sean Ryan
In California, specifically in Los Angeles, if I remember correctly, Al Qaeda said that they would burn our cities to the ground.
Jane Doe
Yeah.
Sean Ryan
Is there a possibility that. That have you. Let's take all speculation out. Do you have any intelligence from your assets, your sources that was instigated by terrorism?
Jane Doe
No, it was not. At least that's what I've got. It was not, but they praised it. So it was heartbreaking to see. But yeah, they praised it. I checked it, I asked it and my information is no, they didn't have anything to do with. I think it was an eco terrorist. But it's, you know, who knows? Obviously, you know, I don't know everything. So I asked them and they said no, no, no, it has nothing to do with them. I think, you know, the most powerful person in Al Qaeda central is Saif al Adel. And, and recently we could get the translation of his book. The guy is a genius. He talks about strategy, he talks about innovation, targets, allies, leadership. He is a genius.
Sean Ryan
Should we go into that?
Jane Doe
I mean, yeah, it's. It's a detailed. What his ideas. It's a military strategy book. How leadership should look like. I mean, I would even give it to my country's politician is read it because this is what we need, leadership. He's writing about lessons and learn. He's writing about don't, don't get stuck with victory. Go through the losses. Mistakes. Because that's how you develop. It's amazing. I suggest the new administration to read his book because it's just very impressive. This is how AKA it is. When we look at the organization itself today, that book represents the level they are. And I don't see they are on the lower level than us.
Sean Ryan
Did we see, did we discuss the strategy within the interview? A lot of it, yeah. How are. What are his leadership principles? What stuck out to you?
Jane Doe
Loyalty. That's the first one. Commitment. That's also the others. But it's run by a very sophisticated military organization. Very sophisticated and flexible. So they don't have that rigid rules. It's very good. I mean, I was very impressed when I read it.
Sean Ryan
What is the book?
Jane Doe
33 Strategies. I'm going to send you and I'm going to see if we ever, I mean, some places we can make it available because I wish people could read it, especially decision makers, because they could see this is not a guy running around in Afghanistan with an AK47.
Sean Ryan
He's a mastermind.
Jane Doe
Yeah. And this guy, I mean, his book could stand West Point or Sandhurst.
Sean Ryan
You hear that? Any U.S. politicians, any leadership in the country, 33 strategies. You're going to send me a copy?
Jane Doe
Yes.
Sean Ryan
It'll be translated. Will it be digital?
Jane Doe
It's already translated, yes.
Sean Ryan
Can I disseminate it through our newsletter?
Jane Doe
Yeah, I think so.
Sean Ryan
I'll put it in our newsletter when we receive it. You can download it for free, have your staff read it if you don't have the time to. But sounds pretty clear to me that we need to pay a lot of attention to that book, that mastermind, 33 strategies. Jane, thank you so much for coming. I really appreciate it and I hope the next time we run into each other, it's better news.
Jane Doe
Thank you so much having me. Thank you.

Shawn Ryan Show - Episode #159 Summary Title: Jane Doe - Terror Playbook: Sleeper Cells, Biological Weapons and Invisible Bombs Release Date: January 15, 2025
In Episode #159 of the Shawn Ryan Show, host Shawn Ryan welcomes Jane Doe, a distinguished expert on Al Qaeda, a former ISAF veteran, and a former intelligence analyst with extensive experience infiltrating terrorist networks. The episode delves deep into the evolving landscape of global terrorism, focusing on sleeper cells, biological weapons, and innovative explosives like the invisible bomb.
Shawn Ryan introduces Jane Doe, highlighting her collaboration with Sarah Adams, a respected figure in counterterrorism. Jane's expertise stems from her multiple tours in Afghanistan and her role in decrypting and understanding Al Qaeda's central leadership.
Jane Doe [03:33]: "Al Qaeda is very sophisticated... I'm trying to give you during this interview, kind of that what we know."
The discussion begins with Jane Doe addressing the complexity of modern terrorist attacks, emphasizing the strategic use of diversions to execute simultaneous assaults.
Jane Doe [07:00]: "The key here is organization... the challenge is what if we have two attacks or three or four or five at the same time."
Jane elaborates on the strategy behind attacks using VBIEDs (vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices) as initial strikes to divert first responders, facilitating subsequent mass casualty events elsewhere.
Jane Doe [11:07]: "The key is to not have the response... like a diversion with mass casualty event and then a follow-on attack somewhere else in the city or throughout the country."
A critical segment discusses the inadvertent funding of the Taliban and Al Qaeda by the U.S. through NGOs, with Jane highlighting the significant financial flows that bolster these groups.
Jane Doe [14:54]: "Al Qaeda doesn't receive it directly, so they get it via the Taliban... they have their own revenue."
Jane provides insights into the transformation within Al Qaeda's leadership, focusing on figures like Saif Al Adel and Hamza bin Laden, who have steered the organization towards more mission-focused operations.
Jane Doe [59:45]: "The new leadership is more mission focused and they are so fast... Saif Al Adel is a military guy."
The conversation shifts to the intricate and often problematic relationships between U.S. intelligence agencies and the Taliban, with Jane expressing concerns over compromised assets and the alleged collaboration that undermines counterterrorism efforts.
Jane Doe [87:05]: "22 of your assets have been murdered... They are cooperating with jihadists in Syria."
One of the most alarming topics covered is the development of the "invisible bomb" — a homemade explosive designed to evade traditional detection methods. Jane explains the bomb's construction, emphasizing its ability to bypass metal detectors and canine units.
Jane Doe [73:42]: "It's a homemade explosive... there's no metal parts, so it's chemically induced explosion."
Jane introduces the GDI (Global Defense Initiative), the Taliban's intelligence arm, detailing its role in protecting Al Qaeda members and orchestrating coordinated terrorist activities globally.
Jane Doe [128:48]: "GDI is the Taliban's secret service... they are responsible for the security of Al Qaeda members."
A significant portion of the episode explores Al Qaeda's ambition to establish a global Caliphate governed by Sharia law, outlining both their short-term actions to seize influence and their long-term vision for a unified Islamic governance.
Jane Doe [114:35]: "The long term plan is to establish the caliphate... governed by Sharia law."
Jane Doe offers strategic recommendations for the incoming Trump administration, emphasizing the need for proactive community preparedness, identification and isolation of extremist lobbies, and robust engagement with intelligence agencies to counteract the growing threat.
Jane Doe [154:10]: "They need to see what happened in the last four years... identify lobbies... isolate them."
