terror_warning U.S. Department of Homeland Security Oil Prices Rise After U.S. Terror Warning http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=509&ncid=509&e=4&u=/ap/20040708/ap_on_bi_ge/oil_prices_1 NEW YORK - Crude oil prices in New York surged above $40 a barrel Thursday for the first time in more than a month after the signaled terrorists were scheming to disrupt U.S. elections. 040708 ... a bird wearing a tinfoil hat Fuck Secretary ridge and AG Ass-croft. This whole stupid fucking terror alert system is a cheap exercise in psychological warfare aimed not at whoever the enemy-du-jour is but at the people it is allegedly "protecting" It's a mindgame, a psychological rollercoaster ride meant to make people more pliable by playing to their fears... the way information is released to the public almost seems like it comes directly out of the "Coercive Techniques" section of the CIA's 1983 Training Manual "Human Resource Exploitation Training Manual" --DREAD (INTESNE FEAR & ANXIETY)-- "Sustained long enough, a stron gfear of anything vague or unknown induces regression. On the other hand, materialization of the fear is likely to come as a relief. The subject finds that he can hold ut and his resistance is strengthened. A word of caution: If the Debility-Dependency-Dread state is unduly prolonged, the subject may sink into a defensive apathy from which it is difficult to arouse him" From the Tom-and-John show we get a constant flow of: "BE AFRAID!...(but not too afraid)" "SOMETHING BAD IS GONNA HAPPEN!!!...but we don't know when." "DON'T LET IT DISRUPT YOUR LIVE!...(but be afraid.) WE WILL PROTECT YOU!...though we don't know wha to look for.) which sounds like the above tactics put into play. (more the dependency nd dread mechanics than the debility, unless you count the great x-factor known as the Patriot Act, which could serve as a sociopolitical equivalent) and of course the news outlets pick it up and run with it like a pack of Pavlov's dogs. 040708 ... 49 minutes ago FBI Warns al-Qaida May Recruit Non-Arabs http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=542&ncid=716&e=4&u=/ap/20040717/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/fbi_terror_warning The terror network especially seeks operatives who have U.S. citizenship or legal residency status, 040716 ...
