Breaking: US Air Force Cancels Two UK 4th of July Shows Due to “Severe and Credible” Threats (VIDEO)

Jim Hoft Jul 2nd, 2015 9:40 pm 6 Comments

The US Air Force cancelled two air shows planned on Independence Day in Great Britain because of threat there is considered severe and credible.

The two-day festival was due to be hosted by US crew based in RAF Lakenheath and Mildenhall, England. The Daily Mail reported:

The U.S. Air Force has cancelled planned Independence Day celebrations at a Norfolk RAF base due to the increased risk of a Jihadi terror attack.

The two-day festival was due to be hosted by U.S crew based in RAF Lakenheath and Mildenhall, home to the 48th Fighter Wing at the nearby RAF Feltwell in Norfolk.

Among the highlights of the show was to be a display by the RAF Red Arrows as well as the RAF Falcons parachute team.

However, due to the increased risk posed by ISIS, following last week’s Tunisian terror attacks and the anniversary of the London 7/7 attacks, security chiefs decided to cancel the planned two-day festival.

So Britain, a founding NATO member is no longer a safe place for the U.S. military?

I defer to my tagline.

They should proceed as planned, IMHO. They should arm their planes and proceed as though they were on a regular wartime mission, which they are.

They should rain death on those who seek to undo us.

To abandon these exercises yields the field to the enemy. This would not have happened in my Father's generation - his generation stood against the Axis and prevailed.

I have the utmost respect for our serving Troops of all branches. It's the ultimate decision makers whose loyalty I question.

I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

IMO they are having to cancel these because there are too many Islamic adherents in Britain, and they pose a threat.

So what are we doing? We’re bringing a bunch of them here.

Just freaking stupid, suicidal.

But the hanger, headquarters, barracks (excuse me, “dorms”) and dining facility will still be lit up in rainbow colors, right?

Credible threat?

Or does the Commie and Chief really HATE the celebrating of America, so he creates a false flag to squash 4th celebrations here and commands no celebrations among military over seas?

Kind of like command no 4th celebrations over seas during Romadon noodle week, or whatever the hell its called.

American independence day celebration in England? Isn’t that kind of rubbing their noses in it a bit? ;)

Actually, the importation of Islam is part of a plan to destroy what is an obstacle to one world oligarchy. America was a strong (militarily) We The People Republic. Can’t have that in the new world order.

What you have stated is so true.

As bloody as Islam has always been, both Islam and homosexuality are simply two of the militant tools being used by progressives (Humanist / Marxist) to fundamentally dismantle the moral and Christian foundations necessary for the preservation of individual freedom in our country.

They have long recognized they must neutralize and eliminate America’s free thinking and individually responsible population in order to finally subject her to what will be a global tyranny.

I wonder what Norfolk RAF base they are referring to in this article. Both Mildenhall and Lakenheath are in Suffolk.
