Feds to roll out new terror alert system
The Hill ^ | 12/7/2015 | Julian Hattem

Federal officials are planning to roll out a new terror threat system in coming days, on the heels of new warnings about home-grown attacks.

The new system would be the third major federal warning system in the years since Sept. 11, 2001, beginning with the original color-coded Homeland Security Advisory System, which was abandoned in 2011.

The current National Terrorism Advisory System is meant to notify the public about an "imminent" or "elevated" threat to the country. However, it has never been used, in part because the bar for triggering an alert is too high, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said on Monday morning.

"It depends on a specific credible threat to the homeland," Johnson said at an event hosted by Defense One. "I believe we need to get beyond that and go to a new system that has an intermediate level to it. I'll be announcing soon, hopefully, what our new system is, which I think reflects our new environment and new realities."

I rolled out my own terror alert system.

Whenever I’m in the presence of a muslim, I’ll be alert for terror.

“Whenever I’m in the presence of a muslim, I’ll be alert for terror.”


But can you get out of the blast radius
before the muslim can detonate his vest?

This will be truth. You can bet that they have devised a way to deflect attention from Muslims by targeting “Radical Christians” and anyone who dares speak out against Obama’s Homomuslim agenda. This is a path that has been traveled before in history. It’s amazing to me that few recognize that fact and where all this is going.

Don’t know, time will tell.

What I do know is that I will not be attempting to run out of the suicide vest blast radius of nuns, Christians, elderly ladies, little league baseball teams, TEA Party peoples, Donald Trump, Hindus, Buddhists, Baptists, policemen, or anyone else other than muslims.

And that is what is important.

Because if ya can;t name your enemy, ya can’t defeat ‘em.

All too true. And the leader of our country won’t even go to the naming stage. We’ve been cowed into submission.
