Faux Crisis - Meet Lack Of Waste: Gibbs Issues Official Statement On Suspicious Packages

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Fresh from the White House:

Statement of White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs

Last night, intelligence and law enforcement agencies discovered potential suspicious packages on two planes in transit to the United States. Based on close cooperation among U.S. government agencies and with our foreign allies and partners, authorities were able to identify and examine two suspicious packages, one in East Midlands, United Kingdom, and one in Dubai. Both of these packages originated from Yemen. As a result of security precautions triggered by this threat, the additional measures were taken regarding the flights at Newark Liberty and Philadelphia International Airports.

The President was notified of a potential terrorist threat on Thursday night at 10:35, by John Brennan, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counter-terrorism. The President directed U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies, and the Department of Homeland Security, to take steps to ensure the safety and security of the American people, and to determine whether these threats are a part of any additional terrorist plotting. The President has received regular updates from his national security team since he was alerted to the threat.

PETA is happy to announced that no previous administrations were disparaged (yet) in the disarming of this "potential terrorism threat."

Al (as in the) C I A...... duh.

Timothy Osman, by any other name........and what a name! 

Note to those who are not aware....

Tim Osman was Bin Ladin's OFFICIAL CIA codename.  It comes from where he was initially trained, and the fact that his family has old monie/old blood ties to the oilgarchs, and the oilgarchs (including the Bin Ladin's, who along with George Herbert Walker Bush (talk about names!  (the Herberts and Walkers were "poets" or better, advisers to the English Royal with Cheese Crown)) and Oliver Sarkozy (yes that Sarkozy) own the Carlyle Group) have ties to the Ottoman Empire.  Also known as "The Osman" or stately put, the 'Ottoman', Bin Ladin has ties going back to the CIA from when NSA Brzezinski armed the Mujahideen, which was the precursor movement to the said al CIA, stupids!

And while I am at it, the word mujahideen means "those doing holy war" but "holy war" as described by the Quran as "jihad" refers to 'a personal sacrifice to god' and the word is never used in the book to suggest otherwise.

There are extremists in every religion..........even consumerism.  Ben Bernanke for example.  Now he is a terrorist.

WIN!!! (cossack55 )

Not only that, the USA has long funded Bin Laden (who died years ago) before he was ousted via 9/11. While virtually no one was allowed to leave the USA after 9/11, President Bush allowed the Bin Laden family the permission to gather and fly out of the USA. 

Notice how the CIA avoids any more video of ol' Bin because years ago it was discovered the CIA was using an actor, thus now only audio TAPES are released (what, a guy with family million$ does not have a cell phone with camera... that is if he was alive, which he is not).

Like Bush needed 9/11, Obama needs another 'event' to survive. These events are always followed by new laws removing freedoms from US citizens. This is a very important fact, as one should never let a good crisis go to waste.

And now some humor, those printer cartridges were headed to terrorists!!! Specifically, they were headed to the Federal Reserve to print up $2,000,000,000,000 more dollars. That, my friends, is the worst type of widespread terror now infecting the USA.

These new threats likely have about as much substance as the terror alert that the U.S issued on travel to Europe.  We of course now know that the European terror alert was 100 % bogus and was an attemp to deflect headlines.  This latest alert is quite obviously grasping at straws around election time.   What a farce the Obama government has become.

But what confuses me is that the Messiah had told us that there was/is/should be/maybe/kinda/whatever the fuck no war on terrorism, that there wasn't even any terrorism, just upset individuals or some such shit.  So why is he telling some bureaucracy to be extra specially vigilant in keeping us safe when it was the same bureaucracy that already told him about the (maybe) threat and has patiently awaited further instructions to keep us safe for almost a full day?

I feel better all ready.

You may scare a bunch of menopausal yuppie women spending their husbands TBTF bonuses at Neiman Marcus by shouting "suspicious package" on a crowded escalator...

However, we the Amerikan sheeple are not buying it...

You may scare a few passengers flying into Detroit by yelling "Crotch bomb!" after you led the guy around customs and sat him on board...

However, we the Amerikan sheeple figure...

Who wouldn't set their balls on fire if they were flying into Detroit...

So we didn't by it...

Barry, Be Like Dick and Tony...
Let's face it Obummer, you are going to have to be more like Chenney/Bush (9/11) and Blair (7/7)  and actually blow up your own citizens in order to scare us.

Everyone is so fixated on the colors! I think they should change it to animals, as suggested by the Former Homeland Security Secretary, Tom Ridge:

"Mr. RIDGE: It could be colors, it could be numbers, it could be animals. I don't care what you use to designate the trigger, but it's what kind of information do you share when you raise the threat level I think is more important to the public."

Here we go...

When things get dicy politically here in the US, let's trot out the tried and true chesnuts to scare the population and divert attention away from the critical issues we're facing... Yes, there are people out there that don't like us and want to hurt us - WALL STREET, THE BANKS AND THE CORPORATIONS...

There are threats... There may be something to thes latest discoveries... They sent up the Red Alert a few weeks ago regarding threats supposedly coming from Europe, but British Intellingence debunked that pretty quickly.

We probably have a pretty good anti-terrorism group that works very hard to keep us safe... But we need a financial Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU), and we need some FCTU agents along the lines of Jack Bauer to take these groups down.

I didn't do 60 today; I drove. Just too tired. But it's an electric bike so I can only take credit for 30 of the 60. Even then it's a long day, 5 hours all told.

I probably have 15K miles on the machine, put about 4 sets of tires on it already. It is the world's most fantastic bicycle, without any doubt, everyone I meet on the road says so even old guys in diesel trucks. Wish I had a picture.  No time for that tho. 5 hours a day. No time for anything really. If you wanna see something that looks close, google "SR-71". Not even kidding. It's that evil.

Shearing time next week!  Until then, drink Coca cola which by the High Fructose Corn syrup will drip mercury into your blood stream.  Have a Big Mac of which you will barely digest any nutrintion (because there is none, or even a negative amount due to the steriods in the beef, the toxins from the ferts and pesticides in the veggies, the GMOs in the bun, and the oils which are now worse than trans fats), and watch shows that will tell you how to act; this of course will cause depression as you will not live up to the image of a "Star", until of course they start flashing their testicules at young women (Brett Farve is the latest way the Entertainment Industry has modeled you, by the way), which we would also like you to do.  Seriously, now is your time to shine!  Go for broke, and throw those illuninati symbols up so I know your listening.  "Diamonds are forever!!"

Bureaucracies do not function in any real capacity in any circumstance.  Examples:  AFter JFK Jr.'s plane crashed, they (Coast Guard, etc) didn't search for wreckage until after Clinton told them to, the next morning (12 hours later).  The US Air Force didn't even scramble fighter jets (which is routine)  during the bombing of the WTC (plane as bomb or "secondary explosions" both considered).  They had an hour to do so, and were only 15 minutes away.  No matter who knows what, and who stands down, our bureaucracy is overweight and with Bernanke on the board looking to cannonball, don't forget to bring a towel.

Wow.  Great leadership and coolness under fire.  I wonder what the responses were from U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies and the Department of Homeland Security.  Probably something like, "Well, duh.  What did you think we were doing?"

True, but who exactly is gonna believe this nonsense anymore?

I'm an equal opportunity abuser: I have no more disdain for the D'ohBamzy debacle than i did for the Cheney/Bush infiltration. But this group is perhaps the most clownish bunch of talent free apparatchik fools as has ever existed anywhere. I really feel like if they try to pull off their own False Flag, they'll wind up getting caught. Give Cheney his due for slithering through his Op. That is one tough old rooster and there isn't anyone like him in DC. And Thank You God for that.

I'd explain more but I want to get back to watching my USAGold.com live ticker like a zombie so I can take in that which has any real meaning today.

Previously Prepared but Unreleased
Statement of White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs

The President was notified of a potential terrorist threat on Thursday night at 10:25, by John Brennan, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counter-terrorism. The President, wearing just a towel, was informed by the First Lady from within their suite that he had not yet finished her muffin. The President directed U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies, and the Department of Homeland Security, to come the fuck back in ten minutes if they couldn't figure the shit out on their own. For emphasis, the President abruptly delivered his towel to Mr. Brennan's face and returned bare-assed to the Presidential suite. The President, to Mrs. Obama's frustration, has received regular updates from his national security team since he was alerted to the threat.

Let the poor TSA schmucks who have to work around these things all day worry about those little problems after months of exposure. Remember than Big Sis declined to go through one, and I doubt you will see many (if any) other senior official show their solidarity with the rest of the sheeple by going through one themselves.
