Here is your timeline.
Next month, Omar Abdel-Rahman is allowed to escape from prison with just a cell phone and a block of phony c4.
I have a feeling that they (persons or organizations associated with the persons or associations who called for the âevacuationsâ) are taking advantage of these âevacuationsâ to install some additional stuff for âmonitoringâ and âresponding toâ various and sundry âinformationâ and âeventsâ.
So, not only is it ZOMGTERRORISM, but thereâs probably an extra layer of FREEDOMISM being layered into the embassies.
There is an operational security problem here. A listens to B and learns âB plans Xâ. If you take a specific action to prevent only X then B is aware of specifics in terms of breached communication security. For A to take action on X 1-n is actually a bit more sensible.
But hey, lets not let reality get in the way of getting a good outrage going, right?
âEarly on, critics [of the Church Committee] in the entertainment and news media such as Bing Crosby and Paul Harvey accused the committee of treasonous activity. The 1975 assassination of Richard Welch, a CIA station chief in Greece, intensified the public backlash against its mission.â
Richard Welch was killed while living in a known CIA operations house. His death was then used by the MIC to squash the Church Committeeâs efforts to rein in the NSAâs vast abuses by claiming that a leak from the Church Committe got Welch killed. It was all garbage of course, but thatâs how easy it is to frighten the American people away from protecting their 4th amendment rights.
This latest is either another attempt to scare us away from the NSAâs constitutional abuses, or an actual threat and the Obama administration is emptying embassies to ensure another Benghazi doesnât happen⌠or both. Crazy pants it isnât.
" So 28 US diplomatic posts have been evacuated (that is to say, âexperienced an ordered departureâ), including ones in places like Mauritius or Madagascar"
So they shut down everything?
If they didnât need somewhere for the CIA operatives to hang out, couldnât they just do all this diplomating over Skype?
(Devils Advocate: if anything HAD happened or does happen and they hadnât evacuated the diplomatic posts then it would have been a propaganda coup for the right. Itâs one of those not being able to do right for doing wrong.)
GW Bush is already considered by many respected historians to be one of the worst Presidents in the history of the United States. Obama following in his footsteps is a great way to shit on an already increasingly shitty legacy.
If this doesnât show utter and complete desperation on the part of the corporatists to distract from Snowdenâs whistleblowing on the massively corrupt military-industrial complex, then I donât know what does.
Itâs a fine line between crazy pants and cuckoo bananas.
Go about your business, citizen.
It does look like an over reaction but there are some clear signs of trouble, no matter how unlikely it is that there was a conference call of international terrorists.
It is the 15 year anniversary of the US embassy bombings in East Africa, in Kenya and Tanzania. Given the attack on the Benghazi consulate on 9/11 last year it would not be too much to believe that anniversaries do have some sort of terrorist significance.
Furthermore, yesterday, the Yemenis said they had foiled an attack on various ports and oil facilities. Although it does sometimes seem that Yemen is as prone to pipeline explosions as Nigeria.
We should have kept that orange red yellow system. It was a much cheaper way to scare people into submission.
I thought the usual approach was to evacuate dependents, shut down consular operations that had a lot of civilians going in and out, and lay on extra Marines. Why are we treating our professional diplomats like children? Are we out of Marines?
Breaking News! Tail Wags Dog. Boy Cries Wolf!
You are assuming X isnât a red herring
No, that line of reasoning would make sense under normal conditions even if X is a red herring. But it doesnât fit the present fact pattern, which is not a measured, quiet and careful increase in watchfulness, but a public and noisy âcrazy pantsâ distraction strategy.
Dang! I knew we shouldâve grabbed another pack of Marines when we were at the grocery last week.
I donât attack anything you say. Nor do I call you names or stifle discussion.
I asked you a question, in good faith, about what seem to be strongly held opinions that single out the current administration as somehow uniquely capable of lying to us.
But hey, hate on you crazy diamond. Whatever blows your hair back.
How so is it bullshit?
