The bulletins that Pennsylvania paid $125,000 are here, because the State was so embarrassed that they released them. They are in chronological order, so you'll need to start at the end to see the most recent ones.
This would seem to be an example of the hard-hitting analysis that PA paid cash money for:
Current-31 August 2010: In the general escalation in Irish republican terrorism, Marching Season in Northern Ireland is a period of several serious potential flashpoints for violence. Pennsylvania-based students and faculty participating in overseas educational programs in Northern Ireland (e.g., Millersville University and the Pennsylvania College of Technology) should maintain a higher state of situational awareness.In scanning through some of the "bulletins", a theme emerges that the biggest threat, as seen by the chowderheads writing them, were people opposed to the practice of "fracking" to extract natural gas. So if you think that a company is poisoning the air or the water and you get involved politically to stop them, congratulations! You're a possible terrorist. Hell, if you attend a demonstration, no matter what the cause du jour, those clowns are going to view you as a possible terrorist.
Now you might think that is over-the-top hyperbole. If you do, I would remind you that is already the practice in the Nation Formerly Known as "Great" Britain, a nation that has gone, in two generations, from maintaining a stiff upper lip during onslaughts of Luftwaffe bombers and rockets to a nation that is so comprised of pants-wetters that they could be easily conquered.
Kudos to the people in Pennsylvania who made this stupid shit public. The mindset that "everyone who is not a good little German is a possible terrorist" must be vigorously resisted if we are to remain what tattered remnants of a free society that we still possess.
This make The old FBI head look trivial.
ReplyDeleteIf I read some of the reports and comments these guys sold their intel to public and private companies as well.
As to fracking, well sound like the Teapot Dome plus a few other energy related scandals. In that region pubic water does not exist and private wells are the rule. If your well fails poisoned and you sell out the house is severely devalued. the cost to drill is very high so a failed well is serious.
Eck!
