No tinfoil called for.
Things may be worse than the media is letting us in on. For example, today on talk radio in Seattle, host John Carlson, unsuccessful Republican candidate for governor and a very bright, honest guy, reported that FBI was in Seattle this week telling law enforcement that Seattle is considered an easy target by terrorists because police and emergency organizations are understaffed. Seattle is 13th largest US metropolis with 5th worst police force. They're so PC here, every possible alien is protected and cops die on the beat for fear of lifting a gun to save their lives.
I watched local network news tonight and there is NO REPORT on this --no mention of FBI being in town conducting meetings with police chief, etc., no mention of Seattle being considered easy target by terrorists.
And just last week, random inspection of automobiles waiting for ferries was suspended because people had complained of being inconvenienced. God forbid they should be inconvenienced. I take one of those ferries, and so would have Ahmed Ressam, would-be millenium bomber, had he not been stopped by some young low-level INS guy at border when he drove off ferry from Canada late on a December night, 1999. When I mention to my neighbors that he almost drove past our doors, they literally turn away from me. They don't want to hear it. The liberal fog pervades and it's dangerous as hell.
So please take warnings seriously. Horrible things may happen. Live your life, enjoy yourself, take precautions. And don't downplay threats. And ping your San Francisco Freeper friends on this one. They should read this thread.
