Culture Freak Projected Terrorist Threat Calendar
It's starting! I made the above DHS threat-level prediction calendar on April 20, knowing it was only a matter of time before something would trigger me to post it.
Well, yesterday the Department of Homeland Security issued a warning about terrorist surveillance of mass transit systems (aha, that's why there were so many cops around Penn Station yesterday -- I knew something was up!).
Why? Because people were arrested in Europe taking pictures at subway stations ... seven months ago.
The White House spin machine is gearing up for election year with a dirty-tricks rehearsal. Luckily, I don't think there is much that can keep their poll numbers from spinning out of its continual downward spiral. Oh. That is, unless someone in the administration gets the idea to nuke Los Angeles and blame Iran for it. Something like that doesn't altogether out of the question. (I'm glad the Houston Chronicle had the notion place the DHS warning under its "Political News" category (see image below), since clearly it is nothing more than political posturing.
Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke told the Associated Press Wednesday there was no specific or credible intelligence to indicate U.S. transit systems are being targeted, and he described the notice, sent Tuesday, as a routine reminder for transit authority operators, state security advisers and police to remain on guard.
Uh huh. Ya know what else happened yesterday? The United States lost its death penalty case against 9/11 plotter Zacharias Moussaoui. Moussaoui, the only person to be charged in connection with 9/11, received a life sentence instead.
