Be afraid...be very afraid...only Our Glorious Leader can save us now

Another sort-of terror threat

‘No credible intelligence’: FBI expresses vigilance for upcoming tournaments

Could something happen? Of course. Am I sick and tired of this administrations games with scaring the hell out Americans when serious threats don’t really exist? Definitely. Maybe that’s why the US public is turning away from the Bush administration and their claims of protecting America. The public has turned but the administration doesn’t get it yet. Why should we believe anything that they have to say? How did such a non-story actually become a story? Who’s pulling strings to try and play the fear card once again?

You know there is a growing sense of desperation in the White House when vague, ill-defined terror threats are allowed to leak to the press. Now comes news of a terror threat of some sort against sporting venues. What the threat entails, who is involved, and who might be at risk is unknown, but an “abundance of caution” is often Bush Administration code for using propaganda to keep the American sheeple fearful and thus in line. After all, if you’re fearing for your safety, you’re not very well going to be worrying about things like the economy or port security, are you?

Yes, someone is going to do something horrible somewhere, to somebody, at some indeterminate point in time. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Otherwise, the terrorists will win….

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI said Friday there is no specific, credible threat of a terror attack aimed at college basketball arenas or other sports stadiums, but acknowledged alerting law enforcement to a recent Internet posting discussing such attacks.

The FBI and Homeland Security Department distributed an intelligence bulletin Friday to state and local law enforcement nationwide describing the online threat against sporting venues, said Special Agent Richard Kolko, an FBI spokesman in Washington.

“We have absolutely no credible intelligence or threats pertaining to this issue,” Kolko said.

With conference tournaments taking place this weekend, and the NCAA tournament scheduled to begin Thursday, the bulletin was sent “out of an abundance of caution,” Kolko said.

And of course, it doesn’t hurt that the Administration can use this information to ratchet up the fear factor and attempt to propagandize the American sheeple into believing that we are in imminent danger and under constant siege.

Fear is a wonderful catalyst is you’re trying to keep sheeple in line…and it is perhaps the biggest and most effective tool that Our Glorious Leader and his evil minions have in their arsenal. Who needs to worry about poll numbers when you can scare the bejesus out of sheeple?

9.11…9.11…9.11…9.11…9.11….
