Contrary to the endless media brainwashing about “change” towards a far more peaceful and just world, what we are actually being offered is more of the same thing: More racist propaganda, more repression at home and more genocides abroad…

excerpts from: Chemical or nuclear attack threat 'more realistic'

by Sam Marsden, Independent, 24 March 2009


Terrorist group al-Qa'ida is likely to fragment in the coming years but an attack on Britain involving chemical or nuclear weapons is now "more realistic", the Government warned today.

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith highlighted the danger posed by new technologies and failed states around the world as she published an updated counter-terror strategy.

The report - known as Contest Two […] contains a stark warning about the likelihood of an attack involving a "dirty bomb". […]

Ms Smith was asked whether there was a greater threat of a CBRNE (*) attack than five years ago. She replied:

"There is the potential, given the international situation, what we believe to be the aspirations of some international terrorists, that it could be." […]

Ms Smith called for the use of "civil challenge" to those who hold extremist viewpoints. She cited the example of the Muslim activists who recently protested at a homecoming parade in Luton for British forces returning from Iraq. […]

-------------------------------

(*) CBRNE is the acronym for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosives.

Yes, but who's dirty bomb might it be Jacqui? You don't have a clue do you?

Timewatch strand - This three part series, directed by Alan Frankovich, is about a far-right secret army, operated by the CIA and MI6 through NATO, which killed hundreds of innocent Europeans and attempted to blame the deaths on Baader Meinhof, Red Brigades and other left wing groups.

Yet another false flag?

27.03.2009 23:20

What with the police talking up their summer of rage hype and JackBoot Smith talking about dirty bombs in Londontown, it is beginning to smell like a big pile of pooh from some scared shitless bureaucrats who are realising their time is limited.

All of this is to justify the filth taking their politically-driven rage against the great unwashed. The filth are political thugs and Smith is merely trying to whip passive public support for a failing government, a collapsing system, and a bankrupt rule of law.

Fuck 'em. We are the dirty bomb - en masse.
