Does anybody out there see the relationship between these two news items? Sure you do. About 4 weeks ago the Justice Department uncovered a terrorist cell in Florida that was planning to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago. It turns out that these "terrorists" were a few black kids falling for am undercover entrapment so they could support their drug habit. Today's announcement from our ally, the UK, suggests that 21 people were arrested for planning a massive bombing of flights from the UK to the United States.
The details of the plan were not specified by Michael Chertoff , head of Homeland Security. Furthermore, Attorney General Gonzalez was unwilling to disclose details of the conspiracy that would compromise the investigation. All we know is this group was planning to bomb these flights with some sort of gel liquid device. Below is an excerpt from the official story at http://www.defensenews.com/story.php?F=2014240&C=america.
A U.S. intelligence official said authorities believe the plot involved sophisticated explosives in liquid or gel form that were to have been carried on to aircraft, with battery triggers possibly stored in clocks, laptops or calculators.
The threat level for the country as a whole remained at yellow, according to the department's Web site.
Britain's security service raised its threat level to "critical" from "severe," the highest of its five ratings, suggesting "an attack is expected imminently."
A U.S. official who asked not to be further identified said United Airlines, Continental Airlines and American Airlines flights between Britain and the United States had been specifically targeted for attack.
U.S. airports were reporting long lines but not the canceled flights, chaos and severe delays that unfolded in London's Heathrow Airport, where the plotters were thought to be planning to board flights to the United States.
Passengers at U.S. airports were tossing out cans of soda and discarding makeup and hair gel, as they grudgingly accepted the new security measures.
Is anybody in the MSM going to look into the details of this news story or are they just going to parrot back to the public official releases from the U.S. and UK governments? We all know that there are hundreds of unanswered questions about 9/11 that the MSN has ignored. Who is going to protect the public from the dissemination of false government announcements that terrorize their citizens to their advantage. The only winners in the game of the politics of fear are the governments of the UK and U.S.
It is time for a grass roots effort to oversee the corporate controlled "fourth estate." That is why my wife has set up an IRS qualified charitable organization called The 4th Estate Society http://4thestate.org/. The web site is going to be updated so as to receive on line donations, which are fully tax deductible. For further information on how you can help, please email pburke@paradigmventure.com.
