UK Raises Terror Threat Level To Severe (From Substantial)

Tyler Durden's picture




 

UK Home Secretary Theresa May has announced that a terrorist attack on the UK is :highly likely," although stressed that there is no information to suggest an attack is imminent:

  • *UK TERROR THREAT LEVEL RAISED TO SEVERE FROM SUBSTANTIAL
  • *REAL AND SERIOUS THREAT IN THE UK FROM TERRORISM, MAY SAYS

Her decision is based on the latest intelligence from Syria and Iraq (and we suspect, as Brandon Smith notes, "the goal will be to terrify you and those around you into seeking out a more powerful, more centralized government authority to protect your security.")

 

As Press Association reports,

She said: "The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) is responsible for setting the national threat level. That informs the decisions of security professionals across the public and private sectors about the appropriate level of security in place across the United Kingdom.

 

"JTAC's judgements about that threat level are made on the basis of the very latest intelligence and are independent of ministers.

 

"JTAC has today raised the threat level to the UK from international terrorism from SUBSTANTIAL to SEVERE. That means that a terrorist attack is highly likely, but there is no intelligence to suggest that an attack is imminent."

*  *  *
Time to strike fear into the people who will come begging for the government to help save them... as Brandon Smith notes,

"the goal will be to terrify you and those
around you into seeking out a more powerful, more centralized government
authority to protect your security."

These were the same people who brought you WW 1.  After bleeding the British population and their industry, they could no longer compete with Germany.

So, it was off to war and a mountain of fools died in the trenches.

I always wonder what the hell the purpose of those terror alert systems are.  

To inform?  Great.  And change your behavior in what way, exactly?  "Hey, boss, can't make it in to work today.  Yeah, they upped the terror alert, so I have to shelter-in-place.  Sorry."

So they can say "we warned you about this!" and avoid all culpability in case a terror attack DOES take place?  Maybe so.  That's why the needle never goes below the halfway mark on the scale.  Ever.

Or my personal favorite, just to keep everyone in a constant, low-level state of fear.  That way you're more likely to do what they say when they say to do it.

The purpose of the terror system is threefold, IMHO.

1) the tyrants are all paranoid, and they like it when everybody is like them. So, that would be just the "normal" (insane) mindframe of the fearmongers, who are also, if you look closely, the most tyrannic sorts.

2) you manipulate the masses through fear. That, you stated well.

3) you create a semblance of social cohesion. When everybody is scared of a common enemy (real or phony, doesn't matter), they'll tend to think in unison. That point is of particular importance in very fragmented/individualistic societies, where everyone is pitted against the others. You want to manipulate a scattered horde, you unite them first through some fabricated common "exterior enemy". It's the strategy of the shepherd dog - scare the sheep with a phony threat (the dog) so they'll stay in the flock. An added bonus is that any anger, any frustration they might harbor will be deflected onto the enemy.

Neat.

"I always wonder what the hell the purpose of those terror alert systems are.  "

 

It is to remove the need to make data-based decisions.

Ex.....a decision :  Should we issue a warning?   Of what?   Why?   Why didn't we do that last time?   But things are different this time!   Think of the cost!.....etc etc.   Oh shit....we were wrong.  We said something!   We said nothing!   etc.

Ex.....a cop-out:  Should we be orange today?  It's almost like yellow.   It's almost like red too!   Orange it is.  No one will notice.     Oh shit....things went wrong!    But we were orange!    And that's almost red....and yellow!

Then you'll see links to other clips re M's transgender clues, and O's closet-gay orientation. 

As I've said several times before:  You can fake all of stuff, but you can't fake the male/female hands and the relative length differences between the Index and Ring fingers.  The Ring finger is longer than the Index finger in men, and vice-versa in women.  Look at your own!

p.s. You DO know that Hillary is a closet lesbian, right?  I have it on reliable sources (FL lesbians of her age), who did Fund raising for her for the 2008 Election, that she's a Closet Lesbian.  There's reason that Bill needs to get his rocks off elsewhere.

So are there any actions that people should take when the threat goes from substantial to severe, such as "spilling a little beer from the can first on a napkin to make sure it's not sulfuric acid"?

Or check your window wells regularly for hiding "muslim extremists" (a phrase my progressive friends use regularly)?

But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someones death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. ;-)

What is also not surprising is that we will do nothing to deport these people as this would be an attack on their human rights

Do they not understand that this is just free advertising for UKIP.  They must want to lose all of the parliment seats with the prime minister as well.

Must be failing in the polls.....raise the terror scare. Austrlia's PM doing the same thing....total fucking idiot at managing the economy, and the brain of a lobotomised monkey.....wants to a fight in the Ukraine....to distract from his economic chaos and lack of credibility.

 

All leaders do it...wanting to fight a war, or scrare people for terrorists...helps get them up in domestic polls.

be assured the locations of the event will be covered by security cctv firms owned by israeli companies.

be assured these events are run by mossad gladio agents working with mi5 and 6.

it will be a combination of peter power style drill staging with real harm reality actuality fused with crisis actor performance.

it starts as a small isolated drill then like depleted uranium munitions expands out taking over the whole theatre of operations.

If the UK were to stop meddling in countries where they have no reason to then that would instantly cut down the threat level. But no, stupid moronic politicians have to keep their soldier pawns in places to be killed and keep up the terrorism threat as a result

The FBI Creates, Then "Foils" Terror Plots - False Flags Exposed By Judge Napolitano

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QynchCojTzM

 

 In the past, politicians promised to create a better world. They had different ways of achieving this. But their power and authority came from the optimistic visions they offered to their people. Those dreams failed. And today, people have lost faith in ideologies. Increasingly, politicians are seen simply as managers of public life. But now, they have discovered a new role that restores their power and authority. Instead of delivering dreams, politicians now promise to protect us from nightmares. They say that they will rescue us from dreadful dangers that we cannot see and do not understand. And the greatest danger of all is international terrorism. A powerful and sinister network, with sleeper cells in countries across the world. A threat that needs to be fought by a war on terror. But much of this threat is a fantasy, which has been exaggerated and distorted by politicians. It's a dark illusion that has spread unquestioned through governments around the world, the security services, and the international media.

Dear friends in the UK.  Prepare to provide papers for basic travel.  Prepare to be questioned at every turn.  Prepare to lose your ability to make decisions for yourself.

 

Your government is scared.   Not for YOU, but OF YOU!

Theresa May's sudden increase in the UK Terror Alert level has nothing to do with Douglas Carswell MP quitting the Tory Party yesterday to join UKIP, describing Cameron's promise to hold an EU In/Out referendum as completely false. And this is not a political diversion after Cameron was acutely embarrassed by the defection and was not pre-informed of it, leading to much MSM negative chatter.

Here's a humourous look at the global terror alert levels:

As is the case in the US, the UK government deliberately chooses not to enforce

it's borders and this has been the case for getting on for 20 years now:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/immigration/11046075/This-border-control-fiasco-could-be-hiding-a-more-sinister-truth.html

“I am told by senior officials in Border Force that there is an explanation for the pattern of failure on the e-borders scheme. It isn’t that the computer systems don’t work. It is that ministers do not actually want to have the information that e-borders, if successfully implemented, would provide – because if they had it, they would have to reveal it, and that would almost certainly show that there were at least 200,000 additional illegal immigrants coming into Britain every year.”

 

From a rational viewpoint, given that hundreds of UK-born citizens are fighting

in Iraq & Syria, and further given that the government has no real clue who is

coming or going to the UK, by design, the government is now forced to raise the threat

level because of those ISIS fighters who may now return to the UK and

decide to commit terrorist atrocities in the UK.

You know, orange, and yellow, and what ever the fuck the others are. And what's stupid about it is they have the color coding. LIKE WE'RE IN FUCKIN' ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!! There's no need for that. Because every time they tell us what the color is, then they have to fuckin' explain it, so get rid of the fuckin' color! Simplify it. There should be three levels of security: "Jesus Christ," "God damn it!," "FUCK ME!"

 There will never be enough "homeland security"

to protect from the increasing blowback and fears caused by continued bad foreign policy generating increasing resentments and hostilities.

Creating proxy terrorists and backing terrorist states (Saudis and Zionists) in order to satisfy US empire-builders and London financiers is neither a sane or decent policy.

Moreover, every notch upward of "homeland security" establishes an even worse threat

by having an ever more secretive tyrannical government,

such government sure to continue

and expand its already bad foreign (and domestic) practices.
