LIBERTY ALERT! Al Qaeda Threat Highest Ever
Washington, DC (TLS). As we reported yesterday, several ominous and disturbing circumstances have coalesced to create one huge terrorist threat that even surpasses that of pre-9/11.
Homeland Security Director Michael Chertoff now admits that the U.S. faces a potential 'summer spectacular' terrorist attack, as secret documents previously disclosed.
The White House and the FBI are now in a race against time to attempt to thwart the impending attack, leading White House officials to convene an urgent meeting of top government operatives tomorrow in the Situation Room--a fact that the White House denies.
Meanwhile, the FBI has been frittering away precious time by targeting ordinary U.S. citizens for information that can be 'mined' from them--information that could lead to their being tagged as potential terrorists. This has created a gap through which Al Qaeda has taken full advantage.
Counterterrorism officials report that Al Qaeda has plans to plant a terrorist cell within the United States and that such a plan may well have already been carried out.
On the heels of these dire circumstances, news comes today that Al Qaeda has been steadily rebuilding until now they are at pre-9/11 strength.
Despite the contention of Chertoff that it is not necessary to raise the nation's terrorist threat level in light of these disturbing facts, The Liberty Sphere maintains that not only is Al Qaeda's strength at pre-9/11 levels, but the threat Al Qaeda poses to the U.S. is actually greater than in the days prior to the Twin Tower attack.
The reason for this assessment is really quite simple.
Before 9/11 Al Qaeda had no organized cells operating within U.S. borders. The suicide terrorists certainly had crucial contacts with Al Qaeda and with Muslim groups in the U.S. that supported the goals of Al Qaeda. But there were no known actual Al Qaeda cells.
Apparently this has changed.
In addition, terrorists have had years to study America's infrastructure, making note of vulnerabilities within the nation's power-grid, its transportation system, its bridges and highways, it's traffic tunnels, and its aviation industry.
With regard to the aviation industry, there is still that nagging report that appeared in a Saudi newspaper earlier this year that dubious characters have been seen observing and studying major U.S. air facilities.
In short, not only are the terrorists stronger and mingling among us, but they are more sophisticated and knowledgeable.
Not surprisingly, one Democratic strategist had the gall to suggest that all of this is nothing more than 'fear-mongering' for political gain. But this mindless drivel fails to take into consideration that secret intelligence documents on terrorism are gathered by career agents who have no political reason to manufacture a terrorist threat.
For these reasons, The Liberty Sphere takes seriously these latest indications that a terrorist attack may be imminent. The threat from Al Qaeda is at its highest level ever.

FBI Targets Citizens While Al Qaeda Moves In
Washington, DC (TLS). The news this evening is fast-moving and constantly changing on the subject of counterterrorism and the move of Al Qaeda into the U.S. In the interest of making sense out of the constant barrage of stories emerging all at once, it is of vital importance to connect the dots and look at the various points at which all of these stories intersect.
First, the White House has called an urgent meeting of all of the government's agency heads for this Thursday in the Situation Room. The subject is intelligence reports--reliable intelligence--that indicate Al Qaeda has plans to plant a terrorist cell within the U.S.
That same intelligence also indicates there is a chance that such a cell has already been planted.
Similar pieces of intelligence surface on a regular basis as a matter of course. The fact that the White House is moving quickly on this particular piece of intel only heightens how seriously the government's counterterrorism apparatus is taking the latest threat.
This is NOT just another bit of terrorist 'chatter.'
Second, as The Liberty Sphere reported last week, sources within the Department of Homeland Security indicate that Islamic terrorists are planning a so-called 'summer spectacular' attack on America at some point before Autumn.
Despite Michael Chertoff's initial reaction to the disclosure of secret Homeland Security documents that describe the attack, i.e., 'there is no credible intel that indicates the U.S. is in danger of an imminent terrorist attack,' Chertoff appeared to back off from that initial assessment today.
According to Chertoff, 'I have a gut feeling we may be in for a major terrorist attack this summer.'
Perhaps Chertoff decided that his initial claim made him look exceedingly deceptive, particularly in light of the fact that certain news organizations had copies of the secret documents.
Third, instead of adequately preparing the country and its law enforcement agencies for the likelihood of such an attack, the FBI instead has been targeting ordinary U.S. citizens, 'mining' them for information that may link them to terrorist activity.
The problem has been a woefully flawed process of determining which citizens may be a threat, leading to law-abiding citizens being tagged as potential terror threats, placed on surveillance and watch lists, and placed on the no-fly lists of airlines.
Congress is now in the process of investigating these breaches of Constitutional rights--one of the few things Congress has done right this year.
In spite of the obvious Constitutional questions raised by the practice of 'mining' citizens by the FBI, the more critical issue at stake here is that the more the FBI uses precious time and manpower to conduct frivolous and legally-questionable activity, the less time and resources it has to manage the real threat posed by Al Qaeda's move into the U.S.
Several links are made available below in order for readers to research the issue for themselves. My friends, we are facing perilous times at present. Get informed, and get prepared.
