Do NOT be fooled! The increase in "terrorist" threats is ridiculously timed...I smell false flag!!

Hmmm...let's see here. What are the major issues in the world today?

Could it be the flooding and aftermath in Nashville?
An American city and cultural icon lost under water...

Could it be the continued poisoning and destruction of the Gulf of Mexico by an out of control oil leak?
We're losing an entire ecosystem for 100 years or possibly forever...

Could it be the financial reform bill that has gained new momentum for tougher regulation and measure againt the banksters?
Breaking them into pieces, capping their size and influence and auditing their secret deals with the Fed as "honest" broker...

Well, I'm watching MSNBC right now - you know, that so-called "liberal biased network", the only thing they can talk about for the last 30 minutes is an Emirates Air flight stopped on the runway at JFK....someone on the plane is on the no-fly list.....AHHHH, screen them all again.....ZMOG, ZMOG, ZOMG!!! THE TERRORISTS!!! DON'T LOOK BEHIND THE CURTAINS OF THE OIL INDUSTRY!!! PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN AT THE FED!!! I AM THE GREAT AND POWERFUL OZ!!!!

Its freaking surreal already that so many of my fellow Americans have lost their spines in the post-9/11 world. That so many continue to be so afraid of bombs and terrorists that they are willing to forget EVERYTHING else in a moments notice and go a great big noodly as soon as anyone mentions terrorists!

This is NOT to downplay the idea that fighting terrorists is important...but c'mon already! Its NOT more important than the environment. It's NOT more important that the economy! It's NOT more important than regulating the banking industry. It's NOT more important that ecological disasters! GET A GRIP AMERICA! We are taking our eye off the ball AGAIN!!!

1. We're much more likely to die in an auto accident than be affected by a

TERRORIST, even in a figurative way.

The government is FEAR-MONGERING. When the system works (people get pulled off of no fly lists), the public is NOT alerted.

This is disgusting hype from our "illustrious" authorities who want us to give up EVEN MORE of our civil liberties.

Don't give into SENSELESS FEAR.

2. As more countries desend into IMF imposed "austerity"

Im expecting more of the same kind of MSM fear mongering over empty terrorism threats.

3. I agree.

I'm not sure who's behind this distraction yet. Probably Cheney.

Remember that Bushco under Rove's direction was masterful at the distraction. Every stinking time something was about to hammer Bushco, something else would steal the news. And sometimes it was a disaster.

The day he was challenged by Senator Bob Kerrey to explain his National Guard records the Friday before election 2000, the news of his DUI broke by a FOX affiliate.

The day something important and damning regarding selection 2000 was to be announced, a plane went down inexplicably.

It seemed to happen with regularity, and some believed that Rove held a toolbox of bad things at the ready that he could initiate or call down at will.

6. "I'm not sure who's behind this distraction yet. Probably Cheney."

Really?
You really think that?
Hilarious!
So, Dick Cheney is Lex Luthor?
He is an evil fuck, but you do realize he is not responsible for everything bad that happens in the world?

4. Most people can walk and chew gum at the same time, it turns out.

Most of us are capable of grasping the fact that there's a lot going on right now--multiple major news stories in a single week, even in a single day. The recent Times Square car-bombing attempt is one of them. It's natural for news organizations to follow-up, natural for them to hype related stories. They did the same thing for weeks and weeks with earthquake stories--holy crap!! A 3.2 earthquake on the aooooooooon!!!!--as if the world was ending. The notion that there's some kind of nefarious Obama-led conspiracy afoot to distract the American people from what you think the REAL story ought to be strikes me as kind of ridiculous.
