Do you actually believe the latest reoprt of "new terrorist threats" or is it like the boy who cried wolf?

Answer 1

Is this latest report on Worldwide Terror Threat Levels accurate?

Update on terrorist threat level assessments around the world:-

The British are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have recently raised their security level from 'Miffed' to 'Peeved'.

Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to 'Irritated' or even 'A Bit Cross'. Londoners have not been 'A Bit Cross' since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out.

Terrorists have been re-categorized from 'Tiresome' to a 'Bloody Nuisance'. The last time the British issued a 'Bloody Nuisance' warning level was during the Great Fire of 1666.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from 'Run' to 'Hide'. The only two higher levels in France are 'Surrender' and 'Collaborate'. The rise was precipitated by a recent fire, which destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralysing the country's military capability.

It's not only the English and French that are on a heightened level of alert...

Italy has increased the alert level from 'Shout Loudly and Excitedly' to 'Elaborate Military Posturing'. Two more levels remain: 'Ineffective Combat Operations' and 'Change Sides'.

The Germans also increased their alert state from 'Disdainful Arrogance' to 'Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs'. They also have two higher levels: 'Invade a Neighbour' and 'Lose.'

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

The Spanish are also all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms, so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old ones.

In Switzerland the threat level is being maintained on "There Is No Threat As Long As The Trains Run On Time"

Meanwhile across the Atlantic in the USA, the threat level has also been changed recently, having long since passed through the baseline levels of "Why Does Everybody Hate Us?" and "Surround Everyone With Everything" to "Charge In Shooting Wildly At Everything Including Your Own Side" was belatedly raised to "Now We're Here, How Do We Get Out?".

This has raised considerable Worldwide concern as the only two higher US threat levels are "Invade Somewhere Else So It Looks Like We Know What We're Doing" and "Trigger a Nuclear Holocaust and Hope For The Best"

The Japanese threat level remains at "It Would Have All Been So Much Better If You'd Let Us Win the War" which is the only level they have.

Answer 2

Well, after 9/11, the Democrats cried loud and long that they weren't being told what was going on by the intelligence agencies when new threats were discovered. Accordingly, the intelligence services now routinely disclose new threats as they are recognized.

This is called reaping what you have sown.

Answer 3

I just asked the same question, but in a slightly different manner:

...and yes, it is a little like the boy crying wolf, and for reasons the government won't reveal.

Answer 4

Well it looked like the boy who cried wolf, but news from sydney has caused me to raise an eyebrow.

Answer 5

Yes, because the biased media sure wouldn't give credit or justice for war on terror.

Answer 6

I believe those in control are desperate for something to happen that they can blame on Iran.

Answer 7

The authorities are damned if they do and damned if they don't
Either way terrorist activities will continue.

Answer 8

and even so, just because they come up with a new one what are you gonna do? do you actually stay home when you hear about it? don't think so.. so stop paniking and just go on living your life.

Answer 9

No I don't, there is a coordinated effort to keep people living in fear.
