Red swan terror man5/24/2023 If the timing of the media announcement wasn't a political ploy, the rhetoric and propaganda sure are. Guardian, the Brits seem to have the same agenda: "The events unfolded just hours after (English Home Secretary John Reid) used a speech to a thinktank to accuse critics of the government's anti-terrorism measures of putting national security at risk through their failure to recognize the serious nature of the threat facing Britain." What better way to drive the point home than to catch some terrorists in England immediately afterwards?īased on a quote from the U.K. Just yesterday Tony Snow and Dick Cheney told America that Lieberman's loss was going to make us less safe and warned of the dangers of our supposedly weakened resolve against terrorism. The British group would have been stopped eventually, but there has been absolutely no indication why it had to be today. Bush had known about the investigation for several days, was briefed about it regularly and knew the arrests were coming, a senior administration official said." Both countries are surely monitoring several terrorist leads that could lead to arrests at any time. ![]() Can you finally arrest those suspected terrorists you told me about? This election business is ruining my vacation! I know you're chillin' in the Caribbean yourself right now, but it sure would be great if you could make a few calls for me ASAP."ĭon't buy it? Consider this quote from a Reuters article on the story: "President George W. "I gotta to do something about this sh*t. "Yo, Blair," Bush says while scarfing down a dinner role. Imagine a conversation late Tuesday night between Bush and his British Prime Minister lapdog, just as Ned Lamont declares victory. (And the question of whether some of them are "real threats," such as the Liberty City "Insane Clown Posse" remain to be seen.) The decision of when to intervene has been arbitrary, making the coincidental timings pretty convenient. While the exact nature of today's arrests is still unclear, none of the plans seemed to have been immediate or imminent threats. ![]() All three were still in the works and had been monitored for several months by very capable intelligence agencies. But the timings of the arrest announcements are awfully suspicious. We certainly can't deny that there may have indeed been plans to commit these acts. And now today, a few men in England were arrested for a plan to blow up planes flying to America, just a day after Connecticut voters flatly rejected Joe Lieberman and the war in Iraq. And don't forget the release of new Osama bin Laden tapes just before the 2004 election as well as the very day after the Supreme Court decision striking down the Guantanamo Bay military tribunals. Then there were the guys busted for supposedly plotting to blow up a New York subway exactly a year after the London bus bombings. The day after Senate Democrats brought a vote to pull out of Iraq, we catch a few idiots in Miami who were supposedly trying to blow up the Sears Tower, despite the fact that they lacked the means and ability to do so. ![]() ![]() A terrorist plot is uncovered just as the masses start to question national security strategy. Other observers noted that the timing of the arrests had diverted global attention from the ongoing Israeli conflict in Lebanon. Magnus Ranstorp, a terrorism expert who has done extensive research into Al Qaeda’s efforts to recruit in Europe, said the alleged UK plot "could very well have been an attempt at ‘the Big One.’ It had the potential to dwarf attacks of recent years - killing thousands - and appeared to have involved far more extensive planning and expertise. Hundreds of flights were canceled worldwide. US President George W Bush claimed it showed how the ‘war on terror’ continued. Yesterday 21 young men, said to be British-born but of Pakistani origin, were arrested by UK police. Last night terrorism experts said the London plot could have been "The Big One" for Al Qaeda - the mass-scale follow-up attack feared as the fifth anniversary of 9/11 approaches. The alleged plot to blow up ten US-bound airliners appears to be unlike anything the world has seen in years. WAS THIS THE BIG ONE? 11th August, 2006 |
