I must admit that I was making light of the Code Orange on another thread earlier. But after I saw the faces of the two guys standing behind Bloomberg when he mad a statement this afternoon, I got serious. Those guys (Police Commish and one other) looked green around the gills. No kidding. They are really expecting something in NYC.

It's not just you. There are a lot of folks here on FR who have either forgotten, or (what's more likely) think we've fallen into the Chicken Little or Cry Wolf mode.

When something happens, they'll be here saying 'I didn't see it coming!'

When I wake up I have almost a sense of dread as I reach for the radio, anticipating something nasty on the news. Perhaps we are in the tinfoil mode, but, unfortunately, it's likely that we aren't.

Stay safe down there in D.C., mh.

I've had that awful feeling of foreboding, too, for a few days now. Can't seem to shake it.

Prayer and more prayer. That's what we need.

When this thread was started with the Debka article on Nov. 3, it looked like tin foil stuff for many. And of course most of us would prefer that we were just being paranoid.

But now it's looking more and more like there is a great deal of truth in those bits and pieces of information.

Another point, that is not being made significantly enough, is that the government raised the bar for raising the threat alert.

"In September, the government raised the bar for changing the threat level, saying it would only elevate the status if there was specific and credible information about an attack."

If they raised the bar, that means that now they do have strong specific information, maybe based on the old definition we would be at red alert.

Bump and bless you and your's MH!

It's ok to be vigilant...but to be crying wolf everytime a propagandist posts a .jpg is a bit much.

I think Daleel is related to Al Q. but I don't permit Al Q. to alert my M.O.

We should force Al Q to modify THEIR m.o.

We should not fear their propaganda. Such fear is their intent... and to be fearful is their objective.
