While conceding there is no specific threat, nor evidence of any ongoing plot, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security are both issuing warnings about terrorist plots on the Fourth of July, and Rep. Michael McCaul (R – TX) predicted several “small scare ISIS attacks” that day.
Terrorists have not used July 4 as a particular date to carry out attacks in the past years of the over decade-long terror war, and officials offered no particular reasoning for why this year should be any different, though some maintained that the 4th is such a “powerful” holiday ISIS would be desperate to attack it.
Not that officials are going to let the lack of evidence spoil their security crackdown, as the FBI sets up command centers across the country to prepare for increased police deployments nationwide, just in case.
The recent interest seems to center around there having been three incidents worldwide on Friday, though one of those appears not to have been jihad related, and the timing of the Friday strikes was likely around it being the first Friday of Ramadan.
At the same time, officials seem to enjoy predicting imminent doom from a terrorist attack every once in awhile, and major media outlets dutifully latch onto those claimed, irrespective of evidence, to hype the new plot.
They probabyl expect sparse incidents of people opening the Koran. That's terrorist, isn't it?
Holy False Flag Batman?! There is no actual threat! The next time they bring a building down do you think they'll make it so obvious?
"…Rep. Michael McCaul (R – TX) predicted several “small scare ISIS attacks” that day."
Ditz: it should be "small SCALE ISIS attacks…not SCARE though that is the purpose of McCaul's pronouncement. Usually your wrong words don't mean anything but this time it's relevant. Try proofreading your stuff…or fire the intern.
Regarding McCaul's blathering on Faux News, is that because Mr. McCaul has information that he is not disclosing to the American pubic? Maybe Mr. McCaul's god whispered in his ear that there will be "small scale ISIS (supposedly) attacks" – he is from Texas and everyone knows their gods like to whisper in the ears of politicians from Texas.
Or maybe McCaul is hoping for those "small scale ISIS attacks" so he can squeeze the American taxpayer for more for his MIC buddies. Friggin' clown.
But Mr Curmudgeon, proofreeding is so yesterday!. And besides, typing on a pretend keyboard on a small glass plate is so clumsy, one just can not expect accuracy any more. If the result doesn't quite make sense, well, that's what your imagination is for.
"small scare", "small scale" – it's all sheep dip.
Kids get to play with firecrackers on the Fourth of July, why shouldn't cops get to play with their armored cars, walkie-talkies, and robots?
Don't Dread0n Me!
Well, if they attack us over here, it will show, that by attacking them over there, we didn't stop them from attacking us here.
Thanks Mary. You made me chuckle to your truth.
07/01/2015 NSA Leak: "Washington Is Negotiating With Every Nation That Borders China… So As To 'Confront' Beijing"
"Houben insisted that the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which is a U.S. initiative, appears to be designed to force future negotiations with China. Washington, he pointed out, is negotiating with every nation that borders China, asking for commitments that exceed those countries' administrative capacities, so as to "confront" Beijing."

If there is a threat, Mr McCaul should provide proof. If there is no threat, he should keep his mouth and pen shut. It's not enough to say there is a threat, you have to provide proof and not present phony evidence like Colin Powell did at the UN. Bush did nothing to prevent 9/11 & Obama did nothing to prevent Benghazi.
FBI Command Centers! Increased police deployments! I feel safer already, don't you?
