Its Friday, and another stupid Terra Alert. |
|
Is there anyone who thinks that vague alerts will protect us? I am almost at the point where I want to say, Just tell us after it happens, OK?

Are you talking about September 11, 2001? I thought they didn't know anything about that in advance.

2. They can't tell you after it happens |
|
Because IT WON'T HAPPEN. It's made up in entirety. We have a government that gets its jollies by jerking everyone's chain.

I think he only works part time, maybe 11 to 3, with a two hour lunch break.

6. Protect us from what, exactly? |
|
These attacks are supposed to come this summer, according to the talking heads, no? Then they have months to thwart them. Unless they have some specific info, they should keep it to themselves. If they have months to head these off, they should just get busy and make sure they keep us safe. That is what their job entails.

8. Did you expect any less after Fallujah yesterday? |
|
I told my spouse this morning as he left for work - "it's Friday, Fallujah, there'll be an alert today and some big pronouncement tonight".
They are so transparent.

what did it mean in DC?
There were Navy helicopters buzzing the city all day and a couple of the metro stops had transit police out the ass in them....none of which would really protect anyone.
