This is really really creepy!


Authorities stopped vehicles at the 59th Street bridge, which connects Manhattan to Queens, causing a major backup. The Brooklyn Bridge was down to one lane, and checkpoints were up near Times Square and in other Midtown locations.

At Penn Station, transit police in helmets and bulletproof vests and carrying assault rifles watched the crowds.

Officials were swabbing passengers' bags near an escalator to the train platforms, and police searched the bags of passengers at the entrance to a subway station. National Guard troops in camouflaged fatigues moved among the throng, eyeing packages.

Keep your pets inside this weekend, folks. The puppy killers are out in full force.

Keep telling us how they hate us for our freedoms, and how we're winning this thing.

They are saying there is credible threat of a dirty bomb: http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/09/09/times-square-could-be-target-of-dirty-bomb-sources-say-police-on-heightened-alert/

What an entire joke. People should be more worried about crossing the street in traffic than a stupid government that installs fear."the sky is falling the sky is falling"........

Right...as if that threat hasn't existed since the cold war. What an entire joke

supposedly there is a specific, credible but unconfirmed threat. I have no clue what info they have, and knowing Obama it could be 85% about his electoral chances and approval numbers, the man's narcissism is that high. But I don't have the facts to say.

Its all fake. They can pull anything out of their rabbit trick hat and claim that its the absolute truth and the cows will come home as if its a supper time bell.

At the height of the Cold War, with spies all around, and a hostile nation aiming thousands of nukes at us, this never, ever happened before.

Now, a few rag tag (USG sponsored) "terrorists" cause an entire city of 8 million people to shit their collective pants.

When government does decide to pull the attack card, these people will lose their minds.

Yup, we're pretty much fucked.

One congress critter was on Freedom Watch tonight saying how important it was to invest in our Intelligence community and how they had just passed that bill today....

Methinks the "reliable source" of this intel was probably a bean counter within DHS...

The same "intelligence community" (what the fuck is that anyway) that, if you are to believe the government's story of 9/11, failed so spectacularly on 9/11?

Or the intelligence community that helped pull the operation off?

Either way, yeah, they deserve multi-hundred billion dollar increases in their budgets.

When people enter NY and they see the Statue of LIBERTY they think "Ahh, I've reached the land of the free" hmph.

You have to admit that this is a bit different. We have early missile detection systems that would have told us if the Russians fired a bomb at us. With the situation now, it would be someone inside the U.S. planting bombs. No detection systems for that.

I'm not saying I agree with our government's actions; far from it. But, this is a different situation that we are in now.

Did you guys catch Michael Scheur this morning on C-SPAN? He was on for 45 minutes. It was great.

What makes you think a foreign government hasn't already smuggled in nuclear weapons?

It would have been too easy for the Soviet Union to do it, so of course we must assume that they did.

And they want us to be afraid of IRAN?

No, methinks the whole stop and search routine is more for conditioning than for security.

[Freedom 4 all]

There's like 20 zillion cops all over the place. It leads a thinking man to wonder, why on earth would terrorists attack on the one day security will be tighter than Hank Hill's urethra? Oh, and a fun bonus is that if you ever even think about complaining about it in public you'll be attacked by a mob of bleating sheep and called a Communist/America-hater. The irony is astounding, considering what America used to stand for.

[TexMac]

Sad thing is, if some terrorist really wanted to attack on 9/11 they probably smuggled their weapon of choice in already. All this police state activity is just to reassure the sheep.
