Just got a flash on the 'puter that NorthCom has upped the threat condition to FPCON Bravo. Not sure what triggered it, but it's the first elevation in some time. Watch the news and maintain your SA, folks.
Colonel, USAFR
And just remember that in the future, young man. HarrUMPH.

Also, understand that Obama is in re-election campaign mode (has been from day 1), and will now seek to establish himself as a stalwart front-line defender of our Republic. The last refuge of a scoundrel is patriotism.
My doctor told me the same thing. Said I should eat more fiber.
Kinda-sorta.
Colonel, USAFR
Thanks for the heads up.
From Wikipedia : United States Northern Command : United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM, or informally just NORTHCOM) is a Unified Combatant Command of the United States military. Created on October 1, 2002 in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, its mission is to protect the United States homeland and support local, state, and federal authorities. The support that USNORTHCOM provides to civil authorities is limited by the Posse Comitatus Act which limits the role of the U.S. military in civil law enforcement. However, in case of national emergencies, natural or man-made, its Air Forces Northern National Security Emergency Preparedness Directorate will take charge of the situation or event.
Thanks!
If it’s done turned into a CONUS, fiber ain’t gonna help much.
I live in Our Nation’s Capital, so I am more paranoid than most. I have been waiting for another terror attack here for nearly 10 years.
Qadafi is richer than Soros
And we just killed another one of his sons.
Not a chance!
Well, Qaddafi just declared war on a Nato member Italy, so most if not all Nato members are on high alert.
Funny, that’s where I’m sitting at the moment...

In the cynically misnamed “Food Safety Act” stealth-passed by the Lame Duck Congress late last year, there is a little-discussed provision which allows DHS *OR DOD* to seize control of all or any part of the national food chain or industry in the event of some unspecified, undefined, ‘emergency’....
Gets ya thinkin’, don’t it??
The turrists are coming to get us! Here’s a supplement to the Patriot’s Act, citizens, for your own good.
Increased chatter in jihadiland communications more than likely.
That was sarcasm - right?
An effective terrorist wouldn’t go after DC. He’d take out some suburban mall. Send the message none of us are safe.
‘What is the purpose of FPCON?’
Same as FreepCon, code word for Viking Kitty Brigade, on high alert for trolls.
