I just returned from 6 incredible weeks in Italy. During that time I stayed with cousins in two separate regions of Italy and also had a chance to catch up with some very dear German friends up in Switzerland…...OH YA, all of the Europeans I know are just quaking in their boots worrying about a terrorist attack. OH YA, and all of them ask me why it is that Americans are scared of their own collective shadow?

I look forward to the day when I actually immigrate away from the U.S. which has become nothing more than a banana republic that still yearns for the “good old days” when we were top dawg and when the rest of the world cared (or at least we thought they cared) about what we did or thought or produced or…whatever.

To think in the 21st Century Americans are worried about their safety in Europe is just plain absurd. One is more likely to be shot, mugged,molested, harassed or murdered on our crumbling streets than in any cities in Europe.

A decade of Bush-style paranoia and a healthy dose of incompetent Media reporting has turned Americans into children unwilling to sleep with the lights off or, OH MY GOD, visit a foreign country. What a bunch of wimps and cowards.

This is good news for Europeans. If you are an American and are thinking of coming to Europe – don’t. If you are an American and are already in Europe – get out. We really wouldn’t miss you, you don’t have any money to spend now anyway, and the trains, buses and other public transport would be a lot quieter. Terrorists? That’s your problem, you created them. Well done Fox News for this good bit of propaganda.

I think it’s the election.  I have noticed there are always terrorist warnings in the several weeks just before a national election.

“Danger Will Robinson!” Be a scared, be very a scared. Al Qaedas under the bed,
around that ‘dark’ corner just ahead. Al Qaeda is ‘gunning 4 YOU’ ergo, clean up
after yourself when you wet your knickers.

Probably US government tactics to justify to some of it’s gullible citizens their massive and useless waste of taxpayer’s money and lives in Afghanistan etc.. I do not know what percentage of tourist come from the US but the EU now is very popular with tourists from countries like Russia, Japan, China, South America and Asia.

I’m treating this election as a vote of confidence.  And I don’t have any.

Its official, check under your bed if you are living or visiting Europe and are an American.

FRTothus:

Re “anticipation of another false-flag operation,” this was my very first thought when I read about this a couple of days ago.  But that FFO may be in Europe, not in the U.S.

Peace.

In anticipation of another false-flag operation, no
doubt, or to get the American people good and scared
before the sham election, to ease the way for
emergency “austerity measures” or the next bail-out,
the next round of threats against brown-skinned
people, the next act of US international terrorism
(Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan? Yemen?), the next
expansion of war and the next erosion of civil rights
to “keep us safe”. Fear and killing civilians is all
the US government knows how to do.  I wonder if there
will be an Iranian passport and a Koran “found” in
the rubble of whatever the CIA blows up and blames on
someone else this time.

****************

Glad I don’t have plans for europe, I’d hate to be
killed by the cia or the ‘special forces’ or their
hired guns as I don’t see the 40 80 or 100
remaining al qaiders gathering for a vacation
shooting spree.

MOF, this may be american hegemony trying to
crack into the european markets for mo’ better
money. Always with fear, terror and shock and
awe and crying ‘wolf’.
