This article tells of the recent terrorist threats that have caused the coded threat lights to go from green to red. None of the listed events had any bombs, nothing was ready to go, there was no actual threat.
The recent London Airliners hijacking "threat" saw America go to the highest level of alert, meaning som,ething is about to happen. That was impossible, nothing could have happened for many weeks from this group. The British Foreign office warned that "other groups are still out there" as further evidence of this impending threat.
The Toronto 17 in Canada were the same thing - just plans.
The Los Angeles plot of 2002 to take down L.A. skyscrapers "was proudly announced by George W. early this year. It has since been totally discredited. Declared one senior counterterrorism official: "There was no definitive plot. It never materialized or got past the thought stage."
There was also this announcement:
"British police arrested suspected terrorists in London and discovered a quantity of ricin, one of the world's deadliest poisons."
It turned out there was not only no plot, there was no ricin. The Brits discovered almost immediately that the substance wasn't ricin but kept that secret for more than two years
- ARE WE SEEING A PATTERN HERE YET????
"more aspirational than operational" has become the buzzword for these events, yet the real-world responce has been to lock-down airports and raise public fears about pending attacks on them.
It used to be that when scary things happened, honorable national leaders would come out to say:
"please don't panic, the likelyhood of any individual person being harmed is very very low" , and things like "have courage, this will not shake our faith in our way of life".
No, now we hear Peter MacKay and Cheny coming out and saying the opposite!! "Be afraid, be VERY afraid, this threat is real and it is about to happen and our way of life is under attack".
I mean really, how many of you would swallow that?
Oh, you did? Sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound so demeaning, like you are a huge fool or something, for allowing yourself to feel fear when there is no threat, and if it were real there is so little chance of you being caught up in it as these are all almost allways localised attacks affecting less than 100 people.
Except 9-11 of course, which killed over 100,000 by the time Bush whacked the Arabs in Iraq for some un-linked association with 9-11. Where is the real threat coming from?

Is global warming actually a more real threat on a much larger scale?
