The FBI is arresting people interested in causing severe death and destruction. Those who are considering such action should immediately cease all fantasies, dreams, emotions, notions, and hankering for chaos and destruction. If you’re working on a novel about 9/11 you better give up and burn your notes.
If anyone comes up to you and asks you if you want to buy guns or bombs, tell them “no thanks.”
Some men in Miami(1) were talking about blowing up the Sears Tower in Chicago, but nobody said who started the conversation. If you have a new member or members in your group who try to talk about committing crimes of any kind, you may have an agent provocateur(2) among you.
A recent article in the Chicago Tribune was published in the aftermath of the alleged terror plot against Fort Dix,
…authorities acknowledge that the case has underscored a troubling vulnerability in the domestic war on terrorism.”
“The primary threat now comes from an unknown number of people with no criminal background and few if any ties to militants overseas. In recent years, authorities have arrested about 60 people from the much larger pool of angry and disaffected people, charging them with terrorism, according to federal officials, many of them do not fit an easily identifiable profile.”(3)
It Looks like a resurgence of the paranoia from McCarthyism which coincidentally, “Threatens Michael Moore”(4)for his work on a new production called Sicko(5) about the healthcare industry in the United States.
Written in The Burlington County Times, “They were roofers, a taxi driver, a baker and a pizza deliveryman, apparently living the American dream in Philadelphia and on the tree-lined streets of suburban South Jersey.” (6) It’s implied that they could be your next door neighbor and it appears that a deliberate attempt to make the public frightened enough once again to vote Republican in 2008 is afoot.
