I don’t know about you but it definitely falls out my arse and the smell is about as lethal as a virus, compared to your average shite.

You only have to read the father of marketing Edward Bernays book “Propaganda” to know that to have a consumer society people must be miserable and in fear.

Fozz, nothing to do with serious escalations in the middle east, over 500 deaths linked to Ebola (worldwide not just Africa and that number is escalating quicker than we realise), over 1/2 million people marching in Hong kong yesterday against Chinese rule, riots in Berlin and Brazil? Take your pick. There’s plenty ‘going to happen’ that is already happening. It’s just kept out of MSM here. So we can go about our happy little lives.

You’re right about increased consumption derived from fear though.

Reminds me of Team B during the cold war. A taskforce commissioned by CIA to quantify and verify Soviet threat to the US.

They made claims that the Soviets were creating or had already created advanced weaponry and systems superior to the US arsenal. Their proof? That the systems were so advanced, they were undetectable, that Russia was just putting on an air of poverty to conceal these super weapons they never had.

To the electorate, there is nothing more scarier than an invisible enemy, lurking around us, which we cannot see, identify, and will strike without mercy. This kind of manipulation lead to the Patriot Act.

It’s not an X-ray machine and it is harmless.

Paul
What reality are you currently living in ?
The name of the machine used is “backscatter x-Ray” it uses advanced x-Ray technology. It is more powerful and more dangerous than traditional x-ray machines. I would suggest looking it up or at the very least go on the manufactures website and see for yourself just how wrong you are.

The backscatter x-rays have been banned in the EU and they’ve currently replaced all the backscatter with millimetre wave scanners in the US (though the x-ray ones might come back over there as the reason they were removed was only due to a software issue and not because of a ban against them)

John
There was a massive outcry about these dangerous intrusive x-ray machines and TSA groping. People from all walks of life have been kicking up over this for a number of years. Members of Congress, celebs, doctors and millions of others have been very outspoken on this issue.
You don’t get rid of machines because of a software issue.

It wasn’t a bug, they changed the law in the US for the machines to have a certain piece of software and the x-ray machines weren’t able to get it in place in time, so they had to be removed.

It’s not like their going to admit its because of public outcry.
Don’t believe everything you read.

No they dont….you read the herald far too much

@Glen, well the outcry was the reason the law changed in the first place, either way it doesn’t matter much, my main point is that the X-Ray machines are gone.

But glen you believe everything you read!

Declan
Considering the fact you don’t even know me.
How do you come to the conclusion that I believe everything I read ?
Do you just post whatever drivel comes into your head!!!

We can’t say we weren’t warned lol

John, ,don’t take our word for it, how about the outgoing head of the dept of homeland security, who is a z ionist btw, as is her successor – http://truthstreammedia.com/big-sis-says-cyber-attack-will-bring-down-power-grid-when-not-if/

Preaching to the converted Paul. Cheers for the link.

Sorry thought you were being sarcastic :)

@ Paul Flynn : If there is a grid breakdown, we can expect the following scenario : In THE SHOCK DOCTRINE, Naomi Klein explodes the myth that the global free market triumphed democratically. Exposing the thinking, the money trail and the puppet strings behind the world-changing crises and wars of the last four decades, The Shock Doctrine is the gripping story of how America’s “free market” policies have come to dominate the world– through the exploitation of disaster-shocked people and countries.
At the most chaotic juncture in Iraq’s civil war, a new law is unveiled that would allow Shell and BP to claim the country’s vast oil reserves…. Immediately following September 11, the Bush Administration quietly out-sources the running of the “War on Terror” to Halliburton and Blackwater

20th July is the day they have something planned, so they keep telling us in their crypted messages or it could be just a load of bo***x.

Has anyone seen the statement that Snowden is due to release the rest of his encrypted files at the end of the month?? Apparently he’s done the aul save the best till last. I think it’s gonna be big…

I thought it was supposed to be a list of everyone who has been under scrutiny by the NSA (more then the average that everyone has been).

@ Katie Collins : Yes I heard of it . He is convinced the USA will begin a major war very soon. ”July is when war begins unless headed off by Snowden full release of crippling intel. After war begins not a chance of release,”
http://whatsupic.com/news-politics-usa/1404226683.html

@Joe I think he’s sitting on something either to do with an upcoming war or something to at could possibly start another one. Nsa lists are childsplay in comparison to what this could be. Have a look at Padraig’s link there for more information.

It’s probably nothing that’s not known already, I think Snowdens a mis info agent anyway, most the stuff he’s come out with has already been known for a good while, he’s just bringin it to the mainstream gently and slowly

And all the while he was on kidney dialysis and lived in a cave for a long time too, also while on dialysis. The man will go down in history :-)

Locked up for 12 hours in a holding cell waiting to be Interrogated by armed FBI agents would seem the norm before being frog marched on to a returning flight ……as what happened in this incident. …Readers comments in that article starting from the Best rated sums up the situation well.

But Frank is the ultimate drama conspircy nut Queen we have here.His looney tunes posts are now part of my daily reading and pass for the Funnies page on Journal.ie.

Was over a few weeks ago Frank…got through pre-clearance no bothar in Dublin and arrived in Newark as a domestic passenger. On my way back the TSA agent even said hello and smiled as he checked my passport details and I went through the x ray scanner. I feel fine, sorry I couldn’t tell you a tale of shady CIA agents on my tail as I left the airport or feeling unwell since the scanner experience…oh well.

Well done you on your pleasant experience with the TSA.

I’ve been to American quite a few time and I’ve never came across this TSA Gestapo? Please explain Frank.

Consider yourself lucky John, why don’t you type TSA into YouTube and see what you get.

Rubbish.
I am in the US at the moment, their security and their care for the own population is top class.
We could learn a thing or two from them about who we allow into our country ( ref. Roma story above)

Bollox.

If you call the rubbing up of your genitals by some stranger or getting blasted with radioactive waves just so you can air travel first class security then you’re an absolute fuhking idiot, you’ve more chance to be killed by a jumped up copper over there than by an Islamic terrorist. The TSA isn’t about border security it’s all about exerting power and control over the population, how do we know that now? Because the Mexican border is gone, the flood gates have been opened down there to anyone and they’re welcomed with open arms.

Ok so the first video that comes up is of some dope trying to get a reaction from people doing there job. Pathetic ha.

I’m sure you have no problem with strangers feeling ye up ye probably go for a prostate exam every couple a month ye narcissistic pr!ck ye.

Hahaha internet tough guy paranoid mess is all you are. Is there a reason you use a nickname for your profile haha?

LOL. Xx

Joe the monomaniac.

i don’t see how one would feel negative about going to america if they’ve nothing to hide, if they’re stringent, let them get on with it rather than huff puff. border controls vary from country to country. The US aren’t the only stringent gates. Travel a bit and understand what its there for.

That was in ’85

richardmccarthy …. Hitch a lift from the Military passing through Shannon….They don’t seem to have any security issues…..

Damn right. Imagine the US ignored it and something actually did happen. It’s too easy for the Irish and everyone else to slate Americans for taking death threats seriously. The twin towers and Boston marathon actually happened in their country. To their people. Same with the UK. Of course people perceive safety precautions to be silly or OTT, while they comment from a country that never experienced such horrific events, ( don’t start about the RA, completely irrelevant)

And their intervention in the middle east: yes it’s multifaceted, yes it’s causing problems, but if the US wasn’t in any way involved, they’d still be killing each other, like they have been for the past few hundred years. It’s kinda their thing.

If Ireland had two planes blown up as acts of terrorism, and had various countries around the middle east actively plotting it’s demise, I’m sure the comments here would be very different.

But your right…..those US idiots…..taking threats seriously because they’ve had thousands murdered by terrorists before……..dopez……

But I do hate TSA.

They always check my luggage and open my stuff and don’t close it properly, and then my clothes get covered in cream and shower gel. And they leave a note to let me know it was them.

Every time.

Security is essential for all travellers to the USA. Enough of these namby pamby measures that won’t affect anyone. There should be full strip and cavity searches for everyone entering the US. Cavity searches deep and hard. That way safety can be guaranteed against the freedom haters.

Treasa, Sorry to have to tell you this but 9/11 was a staged event. Criminal elements within the US government in cooperation with Saudi intelligence took those towers down. The whole war on terror is one massive lie. It’s like Hitler said, “the bigger the lie, the more people will believe it”

Your not telling me anything. I believe in the whole 9/11 conspiracy. I just don’t see why people who have not personally experienced death threats to their country feel they have the authority to disregard the concerns of those who do. Every excuse of “what about the US doing” ect ect doesn’t answer the question, but skirt it.

Yes USA intervention in those countries is part of origin of such threats. believe it or not ordinary Americans do not want their government wasting taxpayers money on wars or funding rebels. The majority of Americans i meet on a daily basis would strangle Obama if they got the chance.

But the US/UK government, like most governments don’t represent the people. And it’s the people who bear the brunt of terrorist attacks.

So if they want to hike up their security because they have very realistic and plausible excuses to, Who are we to slate them? they are the ones getting blown to pieces at marathons, or hacked to death in broad daylight, not us who merely read about it and say “god that’s terrible”.

Treasa I’m trying to comprehend what you are saying. You accept 911 was a staged event. I presume you accept a level of US gov fore knowledge and complicity at the least. The result of it is an Orwellian and patently ridiculous “war on terror” to cow the public into giving up any semblance of their rights. Would you agree? But the important thing is that we applaud the security measures which are foisted upon us, because the of the 911 false flag. I’m confused!

9/11 aside, the US people know the the majority of the world hate them. That alone is enough to cause fear. The US government has caused its own problems , but it’s the people who feel the brunt of terrorism. That’s the point I’m trying to make. And who are we to slate them for hiking up security measures? For them terrorism is very real. Their country is currently involved in a disgustingly violent war in which no one agrees with their interference, even them. You think they don’t know the animosity other countries have towards them?

Hiked up security measures aren’t just for the planes, it will also combat terrorists circulating around Europe and the US. Why is that a bad thing? That confuses me. Is it seen as an infringement on human rights or privacy? I’m not trying to be a smartarse here I’m genuinely asking.

I fly to the US all the time, I don’t mind jumping through hoops and being crucifyingly interrogated by CBP if it’s in the interests of security. I’ve been giving absolute hell by TSA and CBP before, and if it’s any condolence they can be just as horrible to US citizens.

Treasa we agree on one thing, liking American people. I never said I don’t like them. Their country is taken over by undemocratic unseen forces, they know it, we know it. They are scared of course. I can only speak for myself but the American people are not the problem. If more of them wake up something might change. I disagree with you that we should welcome these crazy security measures. We should resist them at least intellectually. If you agree with me about the US gov why do you think all these security measures make anyone safe?

I don’t know if it will or won’t. Maybe terrorists will move on to American schools and shopping centers. But what’s the harm in hiking it up? even if it is the illusion of safety from external forces, while ignoring internal threats (us gov)

Americans don’t trust their government as far as they can throw it, but they have a very realistic fear of terrorism because of what their government is doing, which they have no say in. Increasing airport security in Europe and the us in the midst of the situation right know, with jihadist extremists floating around both continents doesn’t seem unreasonable to me.

Is the issue because it’s intrusive?

Treasa, I know that the majority of Americans don’t want their tax money being spent on multiple illegal wars. Do you not understand that all of these security measures and institutions (Homeland security etc.) exist because of this one event? It is also ridiculous to imply that “you shouldn’t slate them” for making your average person feel like a terrorist when travelling to the US. And most terrorist events in the US are also perpetrated by the federal government. You’re almost there but not quite

Hang on.

So your issue is its intrusive?

So increased security for American citizens, regarding who they let into their country, considering for the last two decades their government have been embroiled in horrific wars, is wrong because it Inconveniences the traveller?

Niall I’m genuinely asking: what is the issue with increased security for who the US lets into their country? If its their country, are they not entitled to do what they want really regarding discretion between who they let in? And what measures they take?

Nobody forces people to travel to the US. if it a truly oppressive, restrictive country, that murders its citizens in top secret CIA projects, and enforces unnecessary intrusive measures, and inconveniences, as you suggest, then people don’t have to go there. But I don’t see how slating Americans over genuine fears and concerns makes sense.

Or are you more concerned with them lying to people? And making them believe they are being threatened? And on that note, was the Boston bombing an inside job too? I know the conspiracy about 9/11, have not heard one iota about Boston.

Ye boston bombing was staged too and yes Obama has authorised the killing of American citizens. My whole point is they don’t care about your security. It’s just a big show of force to make you feel safe from a non-existent threat. You’re more likely to be killed by an infection than by a terrorist. Why is all the money being pumped into anti-terror units and not a much bigger threat like infections? Bees kill more Americans than terrorists aswell. Where’s the bee sting prevention unit?

That’s called Monsanto.

Ragnar, I agree with you about expanding their voter base but I actually do smell a false flag coming
