ISIS has been eerily silent of late---thoughts?

calm before the storm.
they go silent before an attack. means that operation is in motion.

next you will see a Muslim on an airplane claiming discrimination because the flight attendant wouldn't give them a diet coke or a bunch of Imams are kicked off a plane.
the "moderate" clog up the news and try to get sympathy to soften the public and law enforcement.

during this "quiet" time terrorists meet with Imams for prayer, to finalize the money payment to their families, and to review their operation daily, going over and over the steps to complete the terrorism attack.

new moon happens August 21st. The Imam makes his call at the vision of the first sliver and delivers his orders on the Friday August 25th... operation takes place within the next 3 weeks which includes 911.

planes again. busted Aussie operation was most sophisticated yet.

This is not a post to argue the origins of ISIS and such. That can be handled in other threads.

This post is simply to state that, of late, ISIS has been eerily silent. For awhile there, it seemed like there were new ISIS attacks almost weekly. Lately, it seems like nothing. The question I have is this:

Has ISIS been so heavily damaged and depleted by the pounding they appear to be taking in both Syria and Iraq that they are unable to mount a significant attack elsewhere (another possibility could be that they have “recalled” some of their trained jihadis back to the Syria and Iraq fronts, taking them away from the other “projects”)?

Or, is something really horrific coming and this is the calm before the storm?

Just curious to get opinions on this.

CIA, Mossad and MI6 are trying to figure out their next move with the "ISIS" mercs.
