So - much like The Fed, it appears Belgian officials find themselves trapped at the lower bound of liberty and freedom and higher bound of terror and fearmongery.
As we detailed earlier,
On Saturday, police and other security personnel instituted what amounts to a military lockdown of Brussels amid a “serious and imminent” terror threat.
The government’s crisis center advised the public to “avoid places where a lot of people come together like shopping centers, concerts, events or public transport stations wherever possible.” The metro was closed, bus drivers refused to work, and local authorities were encouraged to cancel large events. Soldiers and police carrying assault rifles patrolled the streets where military vehicles were parked and for all intents and purposes, residents were told to simply stay inside.
Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon told reporters he wanted a register of everyone living in Molenbeek because it was not clear at present who was there, with authorities conducting door-to-door checks of every house. "The local administration should knock on every door and ask who really lives there," Jambon said. Here's what Jambon had to say on Sunday: "There are several suspects, that’s why we have put in place such a concentration of resources. We are following the situation minute by minute. There’s is no point in hiding that there is a real threat, but we are doing everything we can, day and night, to counter this situation,”
Saturday came and went without incident, but apparently, Brussels isn’t out of the woods yet. The terror threat level remained at 4 - the highest - on Sunday and the warzone like conditions may extend into the work week.
Authorities are apparently searching for “two men” who officials say pose an imminent threat to the public. "There are two terrorists in the Brussels region that could commit very dangerous acts,” Schaerbeek Mayor Bernard Clerfayt told Belgian media on Sunday.
As The Telegraph reports, “the national security council, including top ministers, was expected to convene on Sunday afternoon to determine what measures to take or retain,” while it’s possible schools could be closed on Monday.
Just in case the public wasn’t worried enough, “a terror suspect” linked to Jihadi John has apparently “evaded” British intelligence and escaped to Brussels where authorities fear he may have linked up with an Abdelhamid Abaaoud cell. The suspect, who authorities are calling “CF”, “was under surveillance when he slipped the security net and escaped in the back of a lorry,” The Telegraph says, adding that “he is known to have arrived in Brussels where he tried to obtain a false British passport.” CF is “seeking to harm the public on a wide and terrifying scale,” a judge says.
Here are the latest images out of Brussels:
"Shelter in place and remain at home. If you were planning to attend an event, we strongly urge you to reconsider," the US Embassy in Brussels advised Americans living in or visiting the city.
“Unfortunately, it’s a threat that goes beyond just that individual,” Jabon added, referring to Paris suspect Salah Abdeslam. "One big test will be whether the metro system starts running again Monday morning, when many of the capital’s more than one million inhabitants depend on public transport to get to work," WSJ notes.
So, the terror marathon continues unabated and as you might have heard overnight, there were conflicting reports on Saturday regarding whether Anonymous (who decided last week to launch a cyber war against ISIS) had leaked a list of targets terrorists intended to strike on Sunday. The top Anonymous Twitter feed denied that the "intel" emanated from the group, but authorities took it seriously enough that the FBI weighed in.
In any event, Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel wants you to know that despite the troops in the streets, the city-wide lockdown, and the government's advice to remain indoors, nobody should be "panic-stricken." Rather, Belgians should just "be alert."
Roger that, Charles.

And lots of ham.
And everybody needs to expose dick.
Ok, so I guess this would be the latest post fot the latest headline. So anyway, I thought I would let ZH and those that post on here that this will be my first and last comment. Why? Because there is too much profanity and rage and its getting old. Not very encouraging when you have to use bad language and anger to report news or a comment from a ZH subscriber. And I know I will be hated for this posting, but it needs to be heard. So I hope this comment it taken to heart and not overlooked. Leaving ZH with good intentions.
We don't hate you.
You just need to grow a pair.
I'm sure there are some good knitting and quilting sites out there for you to enjoy.
No problem. We won't miss you. Carry on
ZH is not a "safe space".
Oh, noes. RUN.
So long kotex7 sorry about your aching butt hurt. You might want to apply ointment after you are done with your uncontrollable wailing, sobbing and gnashing of teeth. Fvkin pussy. THIS IS FIGHT CLUB dipshit, wtf did you expect?
Another one allergic to bad language..... what a ninny.
Words only become horrific because of your perception of them. I used the word renege once (pronounced re-nig) and thought a group of people were going to have a heart attack.... yeah those two words have no relation by the way but I am pretty sure that a couple of people had their fragile psyche roiled nonetheless. The reality of current affairs isn't for the faint disposition anyway.
@konnetix7,
Fight club is great for debate/POV, language or not.
Many a critical thinking commentor have headed for the exits because debate has devolved into personal attacks (pick ur flavor), bodily fluids, who or who not they'd have sex with, overgeneralization & plain old overall nastiness for no reason whatsoever other than they can. The big irony here is the same folks will wish you a merry Xmas in their next post.
IMO, the blatant wickedness engaged makes them no better than the jackals perpetuating the misery on this planet. They've joined them.
I'll say it again...I WISH THERE WAS AN IGNORE BUTTON!!!!!! Only to filter out knuckle draggers and to read the folks that contribute food for thought from differing perspectives.
We hardly knew ye. Don't blame ya.
Junk away.
The Groper is bitching b/c he/she/it has to sift through shit in search of nuggets. poor lad. Life is hard, and its harder if you are a wimp. Deal with it or gtfo.
Some are quite at home wallowing in shit. You're a great example.
I rest my case.
YOU GTFO keyboard macho man.
Don't you have a wife to beat or kittens to suffocate?
hey willie, don't you have a 2 inch pud to pull? thought so, find some tweezers, that may help you hold your pin dick
... eh?
Why they so afraid of their own boys? I don't get it, help me to understand, please?
I'm stunned. They are actually applying common sense: they want to find two particular muslims so they are going to every door in the muslim neighborhood of Molenbeek.
They are looking for two guys named Mohammed.
Oh yeah, and they have beards.
Two guys named Obamohammed
Going to every door, knocking and asking who actually lives there. Seriously?
That will turn up jihadis wherever they live, right. Busted as soon as they get tricked into answering the genius question of "who lives here."
If they greenlighted profiling, my money's on them tossing the place. Watch the youtubes this week for amateur footage of "racist Belgian raids."
And Italy joins Russia in the ISIS war. Common song in Pentagram today--"Oh Lonsome Me".
I'm waiting for Texas to join Russia in the ISIS war.
ya the spaghetti benders will do much
Bullish Brussels
Doncha just luuuuuuuv DIE-versity?
Belgium obviously just needs a few hundred thousand young Syrian male refugees then everyone will live in peace seeing how nice the Belgians are ...
The groom with the umbrella has some serious clown shoes.
The home of the European Parliament, the centre and capital of Europe locked down under siege by Muslim extremists.
Israel has lived with this problem for decades. Now its Europe's turn. In short time it will cross the Atlantic.
Have they found the dancing Isrealis in Brussels yet?
nope, wrong again, it's the religion of pieces that does that...but you would never know that, living under a rock and all....
The thought has crossed my mind that this whole refugee crisis may have been started by Israel just to show the west what their neigbors are like....
Israel brought it on themselves with their treachery.
The jews need to move to Greenland. They can call it Greenberg.
You'll fit right in...and "be safe."
Sadly, a large number of the brainwashed will buy the narrative with no questions asked.
The Left / Feminism has won, congrats
Western society has been pussyfied
Now time to implode it via the refujihad
The Globalist Elite thank you for a job well done
All the instilled fear of a terror attack without the blowback of a false-flag.
Fear is a horrible leash.
I can't wait for residents of San Francisco, Hollywood, LA, Detroit, Denver, Boston, New York, Baltimore and Washington DC to be told and forced to stay in their homes by federal troops for a days on end because among Obama's Syrian refugees there were some terrorists and now we can't find them. We might be able to cleanse ourselves from the Black Lives Matter BS and maybe even get Obama impeached despite the RINOs.
gutless fucks,... the serbs stood on bridges by the thousand when nato bombed belgrade now eat shit nato countries
How come climate change does not cause any other religions to behead people?
I like the idea that jihadis aren't religious, that they are attracted to the idea of random shootings and retribution in society. That they only 'become religious' when they've decided to kill themselves and take down as many of the people with daily lives down that they can.
Slow news day?
This is why Europe is a second rate continent. In America we shop to defeat the terrorists, (and apparently it works). By Black Friday Jihadi John would be in GITMO if he was stupid enough to try that stuff here. In his cell there will be a 60" flat screen with an endless loop of his Koran swirling down the toilet. We shop TILL YOU DROP.
The madness summed up......

Jihadi John and his magicians are back.
"authorities conducting door-to-door checks of every house."
If this ever happens in AZ anywhere, except maybe downtown Phoenix (and even that is iffy) the shitfan will hit epic. I am not sure about other states but if miltarized armed cops start hitting house after house here using the meme of Jihadi John and friends we will end up with some form of civil conflict. This is a very bad idea. Many will not care about their search for the mirage otherwise known as Jihadi John.
The search for Jihadi John - or a friend of his - is really that they never killed him with a drone last week as was claimed and he got away and made his way back to Europe. They're now frightened he may get into the EC Building and start hacking Junkett's head off.
;-)
So the revolution will be tweeted but not televised?
I now pronounce you man, wife, and state.
You may kiss the jackboots.
4 is the highest?
We need a new scale
99 should be highest. Or 8,000,000

Where possible, Americans need to have open or concealed carry permits.
Carrying concealed is a pita. BUT, a loaded ar10 with extra loaded mags in the trunk/back window/seat is a hellova good idea. Don't be caught with any lack of firepower.
Now I will give you a plus one for that post, see I can be reasonable
Are there new owners or new managers of ZH?
I wonder when they will starty shipping the welfare drawing Muslims out, otherwise Belgium is toast. It's time to shed the diversity.
Tyler has been killed by Schmyler
The IS leader in Iteland is unemployed, known to police and getting social welfare according to a Sunday paper

How are you supposed to help the economy grow if you are stuck at home?
I work 200m from that gallery (5th picture). I'm looking forward to tomorrow. It's highly likely the legendary traffic jams will be 'contained' for once.
Two guys shut the whole country down?
Ha, they have moar power than all of the EU Dictasters!
