Beat me to it. After the video of the terrorist convention, the PTB (powers that be) had to demonstrate that they were on top of the situation by doing something, anything at all.
Let’s hope this not knowing about the big meeting is more a case of they have informants in that group than they did not know the meeting was to take place. Yeah, I know I am being an optimist here but surely there is someone in this blasted government doing their job. If not, all is definitely lost.
