Good fucking grief. All day I’ve been reading headlines such as Credit crunch has just begun, Dollar slides across board, Preparing for hard times, and Ailing U.S. consumers might foreshadow recession, then this piece of excrement pops up: FBI warns of possible shopping mall attacks. The first paragraph says it all, in simple English:
An FBI report warned al Qaeda may be planning to strike shopping malls in Chicago and Los Angeles during the Christmas season, but a bureau official said on Thursday there was no information it was a credible threat.
Got that, citizen? Pay no attention to your savings, investments, and purchasing power swirling down the world toilet—the mall may come under attack. To the barricades!
Control
Typical (irresponsible) mass control through fear...another day in the Mallcities of Austramerica...I imagine the hotlines are buzzing (you know, the 'if it doesn't seem to add up or make sense, call the hotline now' sort, where you dob in every shadow and squeak - we get the add on TV every day here in my corner of Austramerica...some people who call probably really believe that it's anonymous just like they say it is in the add...where have we seen all this before?)
