Terrorists Win? Brussels Mayor Cancels New Year's Eve Fireworks Over Threat

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Brussels Mayor Yvan Mayeur has decided to cancel the New Year's fireworks display, after receiving the advice of Belgium's coordinating unit for threat analysis, OCAM, of an imminent terror attack. As DPA reports,

"It is better not to take risks," Mayeur tells the broadcaster.

 

Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel expresses solidarity with the "delicate, difficult decision" taken, adding in an interview with RTBF that it was the "correct" choice.

So the terrorists win?

Lemme try again:  They're batshit broke and can't afford a box of matches, let alone a fireworks show, but they're hoping that if they use the terrrrst excuse then no-one will notice they plain stole the fireworks money.  Warmer?

Brussels should ask Langley to restrain their terrorists during New Year's Eve Fireworks. It is all synthetic terror.

 The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

H. L. Mencken 

Synthetic Terror Spectacle: Deconstructing the Nature of “The Islamic State” (ISIS)

Synthetic terrorism and the endless media spectacle that surrounds it is a necessary and essential component of the control grid that the Atlanticist oligarchs need to maintain hegemony over the societies they own.

I know David Icke is not exactly viewed as the most sane of people but his reptilian theory states that the Lizards feed off human fear.

http://www.reptilianagenda.com/research/r122604a.shtml

Of course we know they do these rituals...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNpQ6kM8ANo

And we know they carry out false flags to instill fear.

Me, I'm on the fence about Icke but the further I go down the rabbit hole the more dots are connected. He certainly provides a motive for the actions that we, especially on this site, are aware of.

Sanity is overrated. TRUTH, however, I just can't get enough of, and Icke's books mostly resonate with me. His early books certainly were pretty well footnoted, and I've been able to corroborate most of what he claimed over the years. Heck, it was he who outed former Prime Minister Ted Heath as a pedophile twenty years ago, and that was borne out recently.

So, Icke's saying that psychopaths are the tools of reptilians? Why not? It makes a lot of sense when looking at history and the repeating patterns of war and chaos perpetrated by the very few upon the rest of us. Just read Icke's early book 'And the Truth Shall Set You Free', or William Bramley's contemporary book 'The Gods of Eden' for some real good explanations and references that give credence to his theories.

What if the movie, 'The Matrix', is not fiction? What if 'Jupiter Ascending' shows how humans really *are* rendered for their spiritual energy? What if 'Monsters Inc.' was anything *but* a cartoon? And lately, how about Jim Carrey coming out on Jimmy Kimmel live and talking about the illuminati and their symbolism? Lots of clues out there for those willing to look...

The paedophile thing is the big one, that's going to be where the mask slips because even the sheeple understand politicians, royals, police, spies, teachers, priests, civil servents etc etc raping kids from care homes and schools is not ok. The story, although quiet in the mainstream, is brewing amongst the surviors and their outlets. There is potentially some big movements coming in 2016. (I don't know many details the surviors I follow on Twitters are obviously very coy in what they say for good reason).

When the mask slips on the paedo's in the UK it will start dragging every countries elite with it. 

Maybe now they know that now we are so close to exposing the paedo rings they felt the need to ratchet up the fear mongering to distract from the thing that could fuck their shit up.

I have always thought that too. Want to unite humanity? Reveal the depths of depravity the elites have perpetrated upon us for millennia (at least). When that comes out and you see all the names of our illustrious world leaders; military; churches (Vatican the big one); royals; movie stars etc...THAT is when real, fundamental change happens overnight.

I fear for our lampposts, I really do.

I dunno. Calling them "Reptilians" without distinguishable features by which you can tell apart from other humans is not helpful to his cause. I believe he has mentioned at some point they [the reptilians] disguise themselves as humans...i.e. they are indeed different from humans?
Capture one and do a brain scan, if he must.

Do I think they will profit by "serving Lucifer?" No. But it is what they believe that counts. Plus they have big bucks.

If you think of it in spiritual terms, it is possible the ancient people or clique who followed an Evil Faith actually did have some part of their DNA changed by interaction with the supernatural. It cannot be proved or disproven scientifically, but I would suggest there is enough Evil Fuckery going on to make a possible case for "reptilians."

''In 1998, Adam Hochschild’s book, King Leopold’s Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa, brought to the public’s attention the forced labor imposed by King Leopold II of Belgium between 1885 and 1908 that led to the mass murder of approximately 10 million Congolese.''

What better way to create fear than cancel an event. Threat or no threat it doesn't matter. TPTB want to create fear.

I spent the first part of my life under the threat of "terrorism" from the IRA who actually managed a lot of attacks, whether the IRA carried out all of the attacks on the mainland or whether MI6 had a dirty hand in some is another matter, but we never feared them we just carried on.

I can still hear the 1996 bomb in Manchester to this day.

That's because another bomb will happen in 3,2,... while we have to wait until end of May for The Red Devils to win this years FA Cup and pip Arsenal to the league title on the last day, waiting a week and adding our first Europa League trophy to our already protruding cabinet.

The only reason he has cancelled is because he either does not want a competing event or because he fears the terrorist fireworks might be more impressive.

After Swedistan, Belgistan will be, I think, the next Country to commit cultural and political suicide. Sharia will soon be the law and there is no un-doing any of this. That is unless you consider civil war an option. I'm not sure who is next, maybe Germany, Holland, France, Britain. This is NOT an exaggeration, all of these Countries are lost. You cannot send millions of people back to their own Countries. The European "civilization" has made its choice. A small percentage will take up arms and fight this but only an all out civil war will actually change the future. Also, do these Countries think they could win such a war? There are several examples to choose from. This is a massively historic first occurrence of civilizational suicide. Watch it closely and educate your grandchildren. They will be amazed that you were alive when this was happening, this singular and unique jaw-dropping chapter in human history.

The objective of terrorists is to spread TERROR, that is 'irrational fear.' They have succeeded.

Events cancelled because something "might" happen means that the terrorists have achieved their objective without any further effort or expenditure of manpower.

It also means that the many countries in which public events are cancelled are now admitting that they cannot control their enemies within. Enemies who were greeted with open arms, enemies numbering well over a million this year alone.

I write from what was once Great Britain, now but a shell of its former self.
