Crass Phony Terror Alert Over Printer Cartridges -- Puppet Masters -- Sott.net

Run for your lives (and take your shoes off)!! It's a toner cartridge covered in oven cleaner!

Yawn. Here we go again. Two days ago, senior figures in the British airline industry, including the Chairman of British airways, said that Britain should stop "kowtowing" to excessive US security demands that were "completely redundant". Then today, in a crass and very obvious attempt to refute the BA Chairman's statements and reaffirm the fake reality of a 'terror threat', two 'suspect packages' are found on planes in the East Midlands and Dubai, both planes originated in Yemen and were destined for the US, specifically, Jewish synagogues in Chicago, or so we are told.

Initial reports stated that the package found in the East Midlands, a toner cartridge, had tested negative for explosives. Apparently that was the wrong conclusion for bomb disposal experts in the UK to arrive at however, because Obama later declared that the printer cartridge(s) constituted a "credible terrorist threat to our country" and that "initial examination of those packages has determined that they do apparently contain explosive material."

As with most other such terror alerts, evidence is simply made up as they go along in the interest of political gain:

Barack Obama accused of exaggerating terror threat for political gain.

The main goal appears to have been achieved though because, "the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Americans could expect yet more security in and around air travel". That's the point, the reason, the motivation. Everything else is charade.

The fact that one of the packages was found in Dubai is not surprising, given that Dubai is essentially the playground of the Mossad and the CIA and has been ever since the CIA checked up on their spokesman Osama bin Laden in a Dubai hospital just before he didn't carry out the 9/11 attacks in 2001.

But the true litmus test of just how obviously false these terror alerts are is when you hear dyed-in-the-wool mainstream media pundits questioning the timing and likely motivation:

Incredible

Their blatantly obvious scare tactics have now become so transparent (at least to many perspicacious people) that I seriously question the intelligence of those people who continue to buy the propaganda hook, line and sinker.

2 birds, one stone?

With the "targets" being Jewish synagogues and other community centers, I'm looking for another push in Gaza by the Zionists, after rallying more public sympathy/support with this.

Who gives a rats arse

They where going to synagogues , my sympathy tank is on empty.

Besides the point

'They' were not going anyhere because the 'Package Plot' is fictional, like every other one before it.

UPS Cargo Planes All Clear:TSA

The TSA announced that no hazardous materials were found on the UPS Cargo planes that landed in Philly.

By TERESA MASTERSON and DAVID CHANG
Updated 12:02 AM EDT, Sat, Oct 30, 2010

The Transportation Security Administration announced that the UPS cargo planes that landed at the Philadelphia International and Newark Liberty airports have been cleared after extensive security sweeps by law enforcement.

The planes, two of which landed in Philly and one of which landed in Newark, were isolated and searched by Federal agents after they touched down. They contained “questionable shipments” from Yemin [sic], which is the home [sic] of the al-Qaida branch that claimed responsibility for an attempted bombing of a US-bound airliner on Christmas.

[...]

The UPS Company also went on lock down, not allowing some employees to come to work and sending others home early.

[...]

The searches were conducted after police found a suspicious package bound for the US at the East Midlands airport in England on Thursday night. Another suspicious US-bound package was found in Dubai.

President Barack Obama confirmed [sic] that the packages contained explosive materials. The shipments were addressed to Jewish synagogues in Chicago.

One more point :

UPS has been for years the most profitable international cargo transporter. How come it wasn't DHL or FedEx its 2 major competitors ? wytebear I think 3 birds with one stone. Efficiency above all.

I liked this summation:

Cargo Cult: Questions on the Latest Terrorist Threat

First we were told that the recently intercepted package bombs sent, we are told, from Yemen, were targeted at synagogues in Chicago.Now we are being told that they were intended to blow up the cargo planes themselves. We are also told that the bombs' design shows the mark of a "highly sophisticated" operation by extremist Islamists, most likely al Qaeda.All of which prompts one question.If you were indeed a "highly sophisticated" Islamist extremist operation wishing to blow up cargo planes bound for the United States with package bombs, would you really a) mail those bombs from Yemen, a country currently under intense counterterrorism scrunity by the United States, and b) address these packages, from Yemen, to Jewish institutions -- in Barack Obama's home city? Either a) or b) alone would be enough to set alarm bells clanging all through the thick mesh of security systems that now overlay modern life -Chris Floyd
