CBS News says "Terrorists are selected and in place"

[devil21]

I sure can read that two different ways. Probably bs and NSA will ride in to save the day.

The terror threat prompting the U.S. government to close nearly two dozen embassies and consulates Sunday is the most specific, credible threat information in years, CBS News senior correspondent John Miller reports.

Intelligence officers have reporting from a reliable source that a major plot is under way and that the team to carry it out has been selected and is in place, Miller reports.

Does seem like a really odd choice of wording. Sounds like the kind of wording someone would use to describe a US military or police operation, not the way I would picture a terrorist organization. But then maybe that's because they want to nuance the narrative of who the enemy is, and how powerful and organized they are, and how they operate, to ensure maximum terror in the hearts and minds of everyone who hears the narrative. Stay glued to your terrorvision! More terror coming up soon. Film at eleven. Now back to you, Jane.

...And here we thought Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin were just off enjoying themselves a fanciful vacation. Nice one Mrs. Billary and Humaliation; to think you almost had us all fooled! :rolleyes:

Let me guess, the NSA spying will foil the terrorists. This is all so predictable.

Yea, and it will be because of crucial data they got in these blanket spying operations collecting the data of all Americans' phone calls and online activities.

If we can't have a national dialog about these things we're never going to get on the right track. It's simply going to be False-Flags-R-Us for evermore. We need to start turning the tables on the conspiracy theory censorship with some good hard facts and get some results.

I guess these are the bad terrorists, as opposed to the good terrorists the USG is funding and arming.

[Warrior_of_Freedom]

they know the team is in place because the CIA is probably behind it :P

That's exactly what this is - there hasn't been this obvious a "wag the dog" incident since Monica Lewinsky was breaking news.

The time has come to remind Americans that "you can't have 100-percent security and also have 100-percent privacy and zero inconvenience" or, in other words, why only the government can provide a veil of impenetrable protection, and why such things as personal privacy in an age of murderous Al Qaeda (the non-US funded variety, supposedly) terrorists lurking behind corners, are not only unnecessary but unpatriotic. According to CBS, the "terrorist threat prompting the U.S. government to close nearly two dozen embassies and consulates Sunday is the most specific, credible threat information in years" (even more credible than the Boston marathon bombers?) Specific but lacking the actual date, or timing, of an alleged "terrorist attack." Information which, however, can not be shared with the general public for obvious reasons - just trust the government and ignore that spy drone peeking into your window to see if you are dutifully spending your daily quota of "confident consumer" fiat on Amazon.com.

See: the NSA can be used for more than just tracking down when Steve Cohen bought and sold shares of XYZ on inside information - it will be used to "disprove the negative" absence of a terrorist attack, and thus validate the billions of dollars spent to keep General Keith Alexander's secret army in place.

For all those concerned why the US escalated the terror threat to "scramble like a headless chicken" here is CBS with more:
[...]
The theater is so elaborate, even Obama stepped away from the golf course:
[...]
Strangely, Goebbels was absent. Which is sad, because moments ago we just read the following:

"The terror threat"

Always a great vague way to put it. Anyone pointing out the vagueness can conveniently be up for a conspiracy theorist and/or a naïve "America" hater label.

Fear and false-pride is all they ever have.

Yes.

I mean, this is so conveniently timed. With more news about the IRS and Benghazi leaking, Obama can't stay in trouble for too long.

Did CBS say why only US Midesat/Tel Aviv/NA Embassies are shutdown and why on Sunday? Or confirmd if Franks/Sherman Bill to move US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is cause of this threat alert (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?423226-Trent-Franks-Brad-Sherman-s-Congress-Bill-prompted-Mideast-Embassies-Shutdown&p=5156617&viewfull=1#post5156617)?

OPEC probably threatened the petrodollar if we don't leave.


The terror threat prompting the U.S. government to close nearly two dozen embassies and consulates Sunday is the most specific, credible threat information in years, CBS News senior correspondent John Miller reports.

So then their fabled 54 thwarted threats that the NSA "helped uncover" weren't credible after all.

Still waiting for them to make up those 54 stories.

Yet, anyone can walk right into a Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Argentine, Philippino, ...etc, embassies with no problems.

what does that tell you about the U.S. government around the world?


Let's hear it you political lying tool Rudy Giuliani!~ "The hate U.S. for our freedoms!" :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Interesting.
I had suspected that they were planing to kick something off. Something that will piss off the entire ME.

... fun times with false flags..

[RickyJ]

I know who selected them, the Mossad did. The NSA is in hot water and needs to scare people to accept their surveillance of everyone. This is pure BS and if an attack does occur, odds are the NSA/CIA/Mossad has something to do with it.

If I was in the White House and reading that headline, I'm thinking something would be pee stained.

Really!

Did you hear about all of the ones they supposedly stopped? I'll bet that set the ■■■'s plans back considerably!

State Dept appears much less concerned than the media does.

http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2013/08/212660.htm



Given that a number of our embassies and consulates were going to be closed in accordance with local custom and practice for the bulk of the week for the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan, and out of an abundance of caution, we've decided to extend the closure of several embassies and consulates including a small number of additional posts.

This is not an indication of a new threat stream, merely an indication of our commitment to exercise caution and take appropriate steps to protect our employees including local employees and visitors to our facilities.

Posts in Abu Dhabi, Amman, Cairo, Riyadh, Dhahran, Jeddah, Doha, Dubai, Kuwait, Manama, Muscat, Sanaa, Tripoli, Antanarivo, Bujumbura, Djibouti, Khartoum, Kigali, and Port Louis are instructed to close for normal operations Monday, August 5 through Saturday, August 10.

The following posts that are normally open on Sunday, but were closed on Sunday, August 4, are authorized to reopen for normal operations on August 5: Dhaka, Algiers, Nouakchott, Kabul, Herat, Mazar el Sharif, Baghdad, Basrah, and Erbil.

They only need to make up one now, if that.

The Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday heard dramatic testimony from NSA deputy director John C. Inglis. According to the Guardian:

“The NSA has previously claimed that 54 terrorist plots had been disrupted ‘over the lifetime’ of the bulk phone records collection and the separate program collecting the internet habits and communications of people believed to be non-Americans. On Wednesday, Inglis said that at most one plot might have been disrupted by the bulk phone records collection alone.”

From dozens to “at most one”?
