Statue Of Liberty Evacuated Following Bomb Threat, Suspicious Package

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The Statue of Liberty was evacuated Friday afternoon after someone called in a bomb threat and parks police reported a suspicious package, law enforcement sources tell NBC4 New York.

 

 

The NYPD's bomb squad was called to the scene, along with EMS workers. A security sweep of the island is also being conducted. As yet, no devices have been found.

 

The FBI said it is aware of the package and is monitoring the situation.

To quote the Media....
"No devices have been found"  versus  "The FBI is aware of the package"

                            Another brilliant tale of destiny from our MSM

 

Oh wait....   Nobody else but the FBI is aware of anything because the FBI guy hid the package?  Kinda like hide the sausage?

I can just see the Park Police, having broken out their cattle prods, jamming every last person on board the lined up ferries, children screaming, men sweating, women crying, people vomiting out of stark raving fear, being yelled at to "Getchur fat ass on the fucking ship or die here in small fucking pieces" through bullhorns amid shots being fired into stragglers kneecaps in order to incentivize those in the rear to push harder to fill the boats to capacity....  A scene out of our pastoral daily lives

Oh wait, no.  That was the final scene from Zombies in New York, starring Kim Kardashian.... sorry I spoiled it for y'all

The 'suspicious package' was found, you know, at the 'Liberty' statue.

It consisted of a ream of paper, neatly bundled, probably dropped by a passing Congressman. On the top page, it showed the title of 'USAPATRIOT'. The so-called 'Liberty Barricades' are like a 'Jade Helm' dry-run event (for those who have never experienced the groping of a TSA employee).They're searching everyone for suspicious 20-ounce soft drinks.

As far as the other, the O-bomb-a has been removed, and is safely nestled at a golf course at Andrews AFB.

'Liberty', back in the day, is what WW2 era sailors used to get for a day or two in Manila Bay after they'd spent the last 8 weeks hunkered down dodging incoming fire on some unpronounceable island in the South Pacific for the purpose of making bankers richer, right? As a reward, they got syphillis.

7. In our day the power which has replaced that of the rulers who were liberal is the power of Gold. Time was when Faith ruled. The idea of freedom is impossible of realization because no one knows how to use it with moderation. It is enough to hand over a people to self-government for a certain length of time for that people to be turned into a disorganized mob. From that moment on we get internecine strife which soon develops into battles between classes, in the midst of which States burn down and their importance is reduced to that of a heap of ashes.

6. Political freedom is an idea but not a fact. This idea one must know how to apply whenever it appears necessary with this bait of an idea to attract the masses of the people to one's party for the purpose of crushing another who is in authority. This task is rendered easier if the opponent has himself been infected with the idea of freedom, SO-CALLED LIBERALISM, and, for the sake of an idea, is willing to yield some of his power. It is precisely here that the triumph of our theory appears; the slackened reins of government are immediately, by the law of life, caught up and gathered together by a new hand, because the blind might of the nation cannot for one single day exist without guidance, and the new authority merely fits into the place of the old already weakened by liberalism.

21. It is only with a despotic ruler that plans can be elaborated extensively and clearly in such a way as to distribute the whole properly among the several parts of the machinery of the State: from this the conclusion is inevitable that a satisfactory form of government for any country is one that concentrates in the hands of one responsible person. Without an absolute despotism there can be no existence for civilization which is carried on not by the masses but by their guide, whosoever that person may be. The mob is savage, and displays its savagery at every opportunity. The moment the mob seizes freedom in its hands it quickly turns to anarchy, which in itself is the highest degree of savagery.

Just another reason to not upset the Russians - certainly since modern weapon design may well have increased the yield past the 1 kt level, so the effect of a detonation would be not just psychological. http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1051320!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/article_970/nuke28n-1-web.jpg

24. Our State, marching along the path of peaceful conquest, has the right to replace the horrors of war by less noticeable and more satisfactory sentences of death, necessary to maintain the terror which tends to produce blind submission. Just but merciless severity is the greatest factor of strength in the State: not only for the sake of gain but also in the name of duty, for the sake of victory, we must keep to the programme of violence and make-believe. The doctrine of squaring accounts is precisely as strong as the means of which it makes use. Therefore it is not so much by the means themselves as by the doctrine of severity that we shall triumph and bring all governments into subjection to our super-government. It is enough for them to know that we are too merciless for all disobedience to cease.

Out of the temporary evil we are now compelled to commit will emerge the good of an unshakable rule, which will restore the regular course of the machinery of the national life, brought to naught by liberalism.

25. Far back in ancient times we were the first to cry among the masses of the people the words "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," words many times repeated since these days by stupid poll- parrots who, from all sides around, flew down upon these baits and with them carried away the well-being of the world, true freedom of the individual, formerly so well guarded against the pressure of the mob. The would-be wise men of the GOYIM, the intellectuals, could not make anything out of the uttered words in their abstractedness; did not see that in nature there is no equality, cannot be freedom: that Nature herself has established inequality of minds, of characters, and capacities, just as immutably as she has established subordination to her laws: never stopped to think that the mob is a blind thing, that upstarts elected from among it to bear rule are, in regard to the political, the same blind men as the mob itself, that the adept, though he be a fool, can yet rule, whereas the non-adept, even if he were a genius, understands nothing in the political - to all those things the GOYIM paid no regard; yet all the time it was based upon these things that dynastic rule rested: the father passed on to the son a knowledge of the course of political affairs in such wise that none should know it but members of the dynasty and none could betray it to the governed. As time went on, the meaning of the dynastic transference of the true position of affairs in the political was lost, and this aided the success of our cause.
