Ok, so an alleged terrorist plot has been "disrupted", according to [1] Home Secretary John Reid's statement this morning.

Where are the explosives ? We are willing to bet, that no viable bombs have been found, and that the threat is not actually CRITICAL i.e. imminent.

The overreaction of the Department of Transport in ordering the banning of handluggage on all flights seems insane, as a practical security measure.

All it is doing is creating massive disruption to the innocent travelling public.

Nobody should trust the security of the hold luggage systems at "Thiefrow" airport, or any other airport with their valuable mobile phones, laptop computers, sensitive documents etc. Lots of these will be lost, damaged or stolen.

Despite John Reid's statement this morning, to "keep the public informed", he has not, in fact bothered to do so.

The news and media broadcasters are doing their usual routine, of quoting from unnamed sources, about possibly 18 arrests in the London and Thames Valley area, a possible threat of "liquid explosives", and rumours that those arrested are all British, with simultaneous attacks on transatlantic aeroplanes.

Is this "liquid explosive threat", anything more than the media jumping to conclusions because of the stupid security measures, whereby mothers are being asked to taste their baby's milk bottles in front of airport staff ? Why this cannot be easily faked, with a standard magicians's conjuring trick bottle, is a mystery.

In what possible way is the presence of "liquid explosives" in hold luggage any safer than in the passenger cabin of an aircraft ?

If hold luggage is now jammed full of electronic equipment, like laptop computers, mobile phones etc, how can any bomb detonating mechnisms be detected via X-Ray etc ?

This makes a further mockery of the equally stupid "please switch on your electronic equipment" so called security check of hand luggage, which will now not be possible.

Is this Forest Gate all over again, with the media speculating about biological, chemical, nuclear and radiological ("dirty bomb") threats, simply because the Police were wearing protective suits and masks ?

The news reports claim that the authorities have had the plotters under surveillance for some time, but that the threatened plot was not, apparently going to happen today.

Why then, has the nationwide Threat Level now been raised to SEVERE ?

The answer must be purely political "Climate of Fear" hype.

It cannot be a coincidence that this has all happened the day after [2] John Reid's appalling speech on "national security", in which he managed to re-write history, by claiming that the current threat to the UK, from a single terrorist, somehow exceeds that of the entire Soviet Union during the Cold War, and that of the IRA etc.

The offical information given out so far is utterly inadequate, and is simply fuelling media speculation and adding to the "Climate of Fear", a process, which we asume is a deliberate ploy, given the NuLabour Government's record of "news management".

one must wonder WHY NOW? as the Israeli army decimates southern Lebanon, and as all indications suggest that they will attack Syria at least...

shouldn't we pause to actually wonder WHY NOW?

and we shouldn't we CONSIDER THE SOURCE of the "information" we are getting?

what does disrupting the traffic mean to such monsters? very little, I should imagine.

no, let us direct attention at the URGENT reality of mass murder in Lebanon, Iraq, and around the world...wherever these would-be "deomocracy" champions are stamping with their jackboots!

the fact that Chertoff is whispering about "Al Qaida" is highly suspect...

let us think. AND ACT!

Near Martial Law conditions are going into effect!

Also check out John Reid's official public statement where he just happens to mention the word "Muslim" at the end in order to force an association in your mind between terror/national chaos and Muslims:

 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4778817.stm

Excerpt:

"In general terms a terrorist will wish to use evil methods against the rest.

Therefore there is a common cause in this country, among all people in this country whatever background or ethnic dimension, because the threat is common to us all.

Indeed internationally most of the people who have been massacred are Muslim, mostly men, women and children, and in places far from here."

No need to mention Muslims except to reinforce the link between Islam and "terror" in our minds.

The manipulation is so blatant, it's almost as if the government couldn't care less if we notice the men behind the curtain this time.

Yet another conveniently timed scare story has been faithfully relayed to us by the media. `Liquid explosives in fizzy drinks bottles` and 'Airlines terror plot disrupted` now joins `ricin plot`, `chemical vests` and `anthrax scares`.

I feel the timing of this particular scare is for two main reasons, one is to divert attention away from Israel’s murderous assault on Lebanon and the second is to help mould public opinion for an attack on Iran and/or Syria.

Remember the `ricin plot` story in January 2003 to help prepare us for the Iraq war? There are two things to remember about the Ricin plot – there was no Ricin and there was no plot.

UK terror 'ricin plot' was a government lie:

3 articles on government organised terror cells in the USA and Canada, it's the same old story...

Even the cops are fed up being used by these twats(excuse my french),except that one walking round Heathrow chewing gum like a trigger happy GI and holding a machine gun.

Well, naturally.

Zionist US Senator and former Al Gore vice-presidential candidate Joe Lieberman, Bush's personal donkey, was defeated by his own Democratic party in the Connecticut primary election on Tuesday. The reason is well understood to be Lieberman's outrageous support for dajjal Bush's so-called "War on Terror" both domestically and internationally.

The result is that other politicians are starting to see the advisability of giving up on Bush and his Crusader Rabbit genocide against Islam.

So immediately a massive 9/11-style plot to blow up 20 airplanes using unspecified "liquid explosives" is conveniently and suddenly "discovered", just in time to terrify the American sheeple and thus put those wavering politicians back in line.

How transparent! Yet the American sheeple will once again prove just how naive they are by demanding from their own politicians yet more suppression of their own liberties in the name of "homeland security".

Another possible explanation is that Israel needs military help from the US and UK in Lebanon.

Because ATM they are apparently retreating.

They say it is because they want to give a peace a chance through diplomacy but it appears that in fact they can't penetrate without too heavy losses.

It seems they have lost a large number of their merkava tanks, are taking large casualties and even lost commanders of elite brigades.

So yeah the Israeli are stuck in their ground assault ATM it seems.

A few hours after the british police broke the "news", Bush made a small speech saying that his country was at war with islamic fascists. After which he thanked Blair for his work.

And when I know how much those two love everything that is Israel, up to the point to have apparently even converted to judaism, I would not be too surprised to see that this "plot to possibly explode airplanes with some liquids" is just there to make Bush decide he must help the Israeli to beat the Hezbollah islamofascists after he has asked God tonight when goes to bed. We'll see this in the coming days.

And far as the domestic scene is concerned, with the no charges aftermath of the Menezes murder, I guess that being an asian or arab looking lad with a small bottle of water in the high street will be soon enough to get you a preventive bullet in the head.

If they can blow up a plane with what's concealed in a small bottle of water, then I guess they will attack us in the streets next time as they can't go into planes anymore now, no ?.

The hunting season has been opened, is that it ?

If it hasn't, the potential is sadly there.

this so called terror plot has about as much credibility as 9/11 , 7/7........ZERO
