Chambliss, sources: Terror chatter beyond anything heard since before 9/11
Fox News ^ | August 4 2013 | Staff

Posted on 08/04/2013 9:50:48 AM PDT by yoe

The so-called “chatter” about a terror plot that led the Obama administration to close 22 U.S. embassies and consulates Sunday across the Muslim world goes beyond anything heard before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, according to the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee and Fox News sources.

Sen. Saxby Chambliss, of Georgia, said Sunday the so-called “chatter” detected by U.S. intelligence agencies that led the Obama administration to order the closures and issue a global travel warning to Americans is "very reminiscent of what we saw pre-9/11."

[snip] A Mideast diplomat says al-Zawahiri “pressuring” Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula to launch new terrorist attacks on Western and American targets is “unprecedented.”

Sources also told Fox News the extraordinary volume of “chatter” follows months of “absolute quietness” on terrorist phone lines, computer outlets, websites and other communication outlets.

It would at least explain why WE decided to get rid of the dictator of Libya.

If you go to the link near the end there are two posts from the same blogger. He alludes that the head of the gang is still running things from prison. And states plainly that 0 is under his influence

Gang was actually convicted of domestic terrorism. Hmmm?

BTW the gangs colors are red black and green. Didn’t MO wear an outfit in those three colors at a big function. Remember us trying to figure out what it was all about. Think MaggieF posted the picture ?????

Interesting: “Sunday is also the 27th day of Ramadan and a particularly holy day for the world’s Muslims as it is the “Night of Power,” when the first verses of the Koran were revealed to the Prophet Mohammed.”

NIGHT of Power?

Why attack?

Just chat up a storm and watch the government barf it all over TV.

Like who are they even listening to? Islamic terrorists or teens on IM?

If you intend to influence your opposition (assuming that you ARE in opposition, which is debatable as you noted) do you remind them that you are reading their mail? If you are actually reading their mail that is? There are many communication techniques which are quite a bit more opaque to the NSA and other signals intelligence collection agencies than email or telephony. Human couriers to name one. More on sources and methods I’ll decline to elaborate on an open channel.

Oh yes, low tech craft defeats billions in tech eyes in the sky. In plain sight and conversation. Understand your point and non-elaboration.

This is what happens when voters elect a person who considers himself a “citizen of the world.”

America’s interests take a back seat to those of the globalists.

I am told that the “night” would have started at sunset local time yesterday. I hope the terrorists knew that.

Maybe threats, maybe it’s all about frightening us to believe that strengthening the NSA is a good idea.

Timing says to me it’s the latter.

I find myself not believing this Regime which has lied about Benghazi. Plus, Obama is so concerned about a potential terror attack he’s golfing. So I say this potential threat is a huge pile of b.s.

Does the NSA overreach and the fact that many in Congress are talking about restricting what NSA does have any relationship to this “crisis?” Just saying....

My take exactly. Timing says that this "crisis" is about giving our good friends at the NSA more power over us.

Ok. So if they heard all that terror chatter prior to 9/11...why didn’t they do anything then?


Well,if they had closed all the embassies for a Sunday back then, We still wouldn’t have the twin towers. And frankly, our collective Mind was blown that day. We were naive about the extent to which the enemy would go to harm us. As I saw on TV the second plane hit, my first thought was terrorism, and then: where did terrorists get big empty planes like that?? I couldn’t conceive at first that those were planes filled with innocent passengers. We have changed a lot since then.

If Al Queda blows up the Mall of GA tomorrow I’ll apologize profusely but I’m having to ask the question why does Al Queda want to terrorize us as we are arming them with munitions from Libya and sending them all over to Syria to fight Assad? We are practically their bosom buddy.


Excellent point. Why would they even be against us at all now? Are they?

And if something happens to Israel, I know I will be so ashamed of how Obama / this admin would handle it.

Americans can only HOPE that the target is Washington, DC.

They'd have more luck at Martha's Vineyard.

Chatter....pure bull spit!! If they heard so much “chatter” before 9/11 why the hell didn’t they do something about it?

Three words; Jamie Gorelick.

It certainly was busy. All counters open with long lines. They even ran out of carts.
The first of the month is always that way.

Finally I can see a lot of your research in one place, from that link. Whoo doggies.

A quote from your quoted article last year on Frank Marshall Davis, Obama’s pedophile bisexual “mentor” from age 10-18:


I must note that it was also through this group that Davis would work with Robert Taylor, who just happened to be the grandfather of Valerie Jarrett.

FP: That’s remarkable. Valerie Jarrett today is Obama’s right-hand woman in the White House.

Kengor: Yes, and it’s even more eerie than that. Frank Marshall Davis, Obama’s mentor, also worked with Vernon Jarrett in these circles.

Vernon Jarrett was Valerie’s father-in-law. And it’s worse still. Davis, Obama’s mentor, also worked with Harry and David Canter, two other Chicago communists. The Canters mentored a young man named David Axelrod in Chicago in the 1970s.

SO, THE TROIKA THAT’S ARGUABLY RUNNING AMERICA TODAY—OBAMA AND VALERIE JARRETT AND DAVID AXELROD—ALL HAVE COMMON BONDS IN CHICAGO’S COMMUNIST CIRCLES FROM THE 1940S. THEIR MENTORS KNEW EACH OTHER. (Emphasis Added)

I know this is incredible, but it’s true. You couldn’t make this up. No one would believe it. WE’RE BEING GOVERNED BY GHOSTS FROM CHICAGO’S COMMUNIST PARTY GLORY YEARS. (Emphasis added)


End quote.
