WASHINGTON: The threat of terrorism against the US was possibly at its highest level since the September 11, 2001, attacks, according to a grim assessment by the Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano.
Al-Qaeda remained at the core of concerns, particularly on the Arabian Peninsula and via US-born Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, now based in Yemen. But al-Qaeda-inspired local groups and homegrown radicals were augmenting that threat, Ms Napolitano said.
''We have made many important strides in securing our country from terrorism since 9/11, but the threat continues to evolve,'' she told the House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee.
Al-Qaeda had been diminished by the global fight against terrorism, but the US faced ''threats from a number of al-Qaeda associates that share its violent extremist ideology'', she said.
Increasingly, the group sought to recruit Westerners to carry out attacks, people who did not have strong ties to known terrorist groups that might be detected by the intelligence community.
''This means that the threat has evolved in such a way that we have to add to our traditional counterterrorism strategies, which in the past have looked at the attack as coming from abroad,'' Ms Napolitano said.
The congressional hearing came as a North Carolina man, Daniel Patrick Boyd, became the latest US citizen to plead guilty to terrorism-related offences, and coincided with renewed efforts by Republican leaders in the House to win an extension for key anti-terrorism measures of the USA Patriot Act.
On Tuesday, a bid to speed up House approval for extending the measures to the end of 2011 failed when many Tea Party-backed Republicans banded with Democrats who voiced concerns that civil liberties were in danger of being infringed.
The case of ''lone wolf'' Boyd, 40, who pleaded guilty in North Carolina to conspiracy to commit murder and kidnapping in Afghanistan and Pakistan, appeared to strengthen the hand of those supporting an extension of the key anti-terrorism tools.
He brings to more than 120 the number of people indicted in US federal courts in the past two years on terrorism-related offences. About half of those have been US citizens.

Ok, the propaganda is all done...
Time to send in the clowns, for the next false-flag op.
I'll be happy when we finally quit playing these games, and get down to the business of tar and feathers.
Or a rope and a tree.
Either way doesn't matter much to me, as long as the government shitbags are given their just rewards...
Socialist ass-hats think "There will be no more money when the U.S. dollar has no value, until that time we can keep printing more." And yes, that IS from LF's answer to Ben Bernanke, go65, leading disfunctional and delusional socialist of the forum.
"You want me to kill THE ENEMIES of Jappos, I'll kill THE ENEMIES of Jappos, Rebs, or Sioux, or Cheyenne... For 500 bucks a month I'll kill whoever you want. But keep one thing in mind: I'd happily kill you for free." Algren, "The Last Samurai"

America on (RED) alert over terrorism threat !
Of course, it's no coincidence at all that we went on red alert right when the House failed to extend the Patriot Act this week and is getting ready to vote on it again.
We need to pull a Mubarak on the whole of D.C. and toss all of their dirty asses over the 45th parallel into Newfoundland.

Obama FUBAR . . .
Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over.

With egypt lost, Al Qaida/Osama/9-11 MEME is Dead.
Why didn't Al Qaida think to light itself up.
That's all it took with religion no where to be seen.

Those middle class activists who think that Egyptians will now return to work to labour under a military regime - Wael Ghonim, the Google employee incessantly puffed by the Anglophone media as the 'leader' of this revolution, 'trusts' the army and urges people to go back to work - are about to be disabused and disillusioned.

The Laugh Riot was Brennan/Bloomberg interviewing an Egyptian Banker,
like the Banker was at the forefront of the revolution.
And his advice was for everyone to go back to work.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
