Washington has issued a worldwide travel alert, warning US citizens about the "continued potential for terrorist attacks" in the Middle East and North Africa. The announcement comes as the anniversary of the US consulate attack in Benghazi approaches.

Officials said that the threat appeared to be related to al-Qaeda and Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting, which ends on Wednesday. But the travel alert is applicable to all Americans until August 31.

“The Department of State alerts US citizens to the continued potential for terrorist attacks, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa and possibly occurring and emanating from the Arabian Peninsula," the statement read.

Current information suggest that al-Qaeda and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorists attacks booth in the region and beyond and they may focus efforts to conduct attacks in the period between now and the end of August.”

The State Department urged American travelers to take extra precautions when traveling abroad and suggested they should sign up for State Department alerts and register with US consulates in the countries they are visiting.

The warning cities dangers involved with public transportation systems, such as subways, railways, boats and airplanes, which are prime sites for tourists.

Dutch Ruppersberger, the top Democrat on the house intelligence panel, backed the decision to go public.

“Intelligence is probably the best defense against terrorist attacks. So we put people on notice and we also put the other side on notice,” said Ruppersberger.

Over 20 embassies, consulate services to be closed
Earlier, the State Department said an unspecified number of US embassies and consulates in Muslim countries will be closed for a day or more due to a “specific threat”.

"We have instructed all US embassies and consulates that would have normally been open on Sunday to suspend operations, specifically on August 4th," the BBC cites State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf has been quoted as saying.

“Security considerations have led us to take this precautionary step,” Harf told reporters adding that additional days of closing are not ruled out as the threat is still being assessed.

At least 21 embassies and consulate services have been affected including those in the UAE, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait and other countries. Among the embassies suspending their operations are several large US diplomatic facilities which house substantial American military contingents.

The chairman of the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee said the threat appears to be linked to al-Qaeda.

"It's my understanding that it is al-Qaeda linked... and the threat emanates in the Middle East and in Central Asia," Representative Ed Royce said on CNN's New Day.

Royce added that he and several other lawmakers met two days ago with Vice President Joe Biden on the threat, "and as you know we're going to take whatever steps necessary to protect our personnel overseas. When we do have an indication of a threat, we take that seriously."

Though senior State Department officials declined to specify the region where diplomatic missions are being threatened, Sunday is only a working day in Muslim countries and Israel, whereas diplomatic missions are closed in other parts of the world over the weekend.

The threat is believed to extend to countries in the Middle East, North Africa and other South East Asian states. Also, next week will culminate in the end of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan, marked by the holiday of Eid.

Nearly one year ago an anti-Islamic American-made movie sparked violent protests throughout the Muslim world. Islamic extremists capitalized on public outrage to organize popular unrest in many Muslim countries on the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on American soil.

In Libya, an Islamist riot was used as cover to launch an organized assault on the American consulate in Benghazi, which left four Americans dead, including ambassador Christopher Stevens.

ALERT: US State Department STEP mass email notification to Citizens Overseas - Something is getting ready to happen!

I have been living and working overseas for a bit less than ten years, and this is the first time I have ever received a message such as the below. It came to two of my email addresses, and I have no idea how they know both of my emails.

First it was the embassy closures on Sunday that got me thinking about what's up with that. Now this warning message. Something is really happening. Note the date - between now and the end of August, and then this warning expires.

Text of the email follows:

ACS_ALL_LISTS@CALIST.STATE.GOV
Worldwide Travel Alert, August 02, 2013

The Department of State alerts U.S. citizens to the continued potential for terrorist attacks, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa, and possibly occurring in or emanating from the Arabian Peninsula. Current information suggests that al-Qa’ida and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks both in the region and beyond, and that they may focus efforts to conduct attacks in the period between now and the end of August. This Travel Alert expires on August 31, 2013.

Terrorists may elect to use a variety of means and weapons and target both official and private interests. U.S. citizens are reminded of the potential for terrorists to attack public transportation systems and other tourist infrastructure. Terrorists have targeted and attacked subway and rail systems, as well as aviation and maritime services. U.S. citizens should take every precaution to be aware of their surroundings and to adopt appropriate safety measures to protect themselves when traveling.

We continue to work closely with other nations on the threat from international terrorism, including from al-Qa'ida. Information is routinely shared between the U.S. and our key partners in order to disrupt terrorist plotting, identify and take action against potential operatives, and strengthen our defenses against potential threats

Surely photo shopped, replacing perhaps Richard Cheney's or Colin Powell's head with Osama bin Laden's.

(And the question is off topic for this thread :).)

Well, I think we can expect some kind of false flag event, but maybe they'll end up shooting themselves in the foot.

This is how they do it, problem reaction solution... oooooooohhh don't travel be afraid somethings coming blah blah, now some are jumpy , the slightest hickup , and oooohhh it was the terrorist, they announced that there could be an attack remember ??? they said don't travel ...we should listen to them they know everything and want to keep you safe ... ha ha ha ...bet if you gave them complete control of your bank account , and you micro-chipped yourself, they would announce the war on terror has been won ...first they made us afraid to fly, now they are working on trains ...notice all the train wrecks lately ???

can i just inform

there is nosuch thing as " Al Quaeda " its a BS name made up to point a finger at a boogey man ... i have this on extremly good advice from an exceptionally good scource

any time this word is used you can bet your best pinapple its Bull Shirt

[ghostrider]

al-quaeda is code for CIA asset middle east division ... ha , propaganda first responders ...we could look at when big money just made some investments and that might expose what they are planning , ya know it's all about money, they can't sleep until they have it ALL ... talk about insecure

[SilentFeathers]

Things have seemed to calmed down somewhat over the past few weeks or so, people are getting too comfortable so the creeps need to stir things up a bit to remind everyone to tighten up and embrace fear again!

As I mentioned in another thread like this one, if there was a real threat, do ya'all really think they would tell us about it????? This is just more engineered fear-mongering.

I'm not saying nothing will happen though, there is always a possibility that they will create an event to scare people so they can say, "see, we are on it folks, but this one got by us".....or they may just engineer another fake "prevention" to be able to say, "see, we are on it folks and saved you this time from the boogie man".

Either way, it ain't worth worrying about.....

Shutting embassy's down like this with a date given and not immediately tells me they are afraid of retaliation for something, not concerned about an attack......and also tells me they may perhaps be about ready to bomb a country again.

Perhaps a staged event to justify bombing a country is about to take place??????

Basically all I can think of further about this is......"Whatever, same ole song and dance".

ADDED:
They'll probably blow up an empty embassy and say "see, new measures in place now will prevent anything like Benghazi from ever happening again!"

Al Quaeda is Arabic for "The Base" or "The Database"... it is a CIA database compilation of CIA assets. It's really not all that complicated and common knowledge to those not washed in propaganda to the contrary. So, yes. You are correct, sir. I accept your bet. (I think my Pina Coladas are safe!) :o

Terror. Fear. Mass Media.
Seems awfully specific to me.


[...] an unprecedented 22 embassies and consulates in 17 countries in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia closed for a day on Sunday. http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/02/opinion/bergen-terror-embassy/index.html?eref=mrss_igoogle_cnn

Now let us reinforce and elevate that fear.
This just now from CNN "Breaking News":


An intercepted message among senior al Qaeda operatives in the last several days raised alarm bells that led to the closing of embassies and consulates Sunday across the Middle East and North Africa, CNN has learned.

CNN has agreed to a request from an Obama administration official not to publish or broadcast additional details because of the sensitivity of the information.

Several U.S. officials also emphasized they have been watching growing threats emerging from Yemen for weeks.

Those threats, combined with the coming end of the month of Ramadan, plus the concern over several major prison breaks in the region, all contributed to the U.S. decision to shut down diplomatic installations.

The shuttering of 22 U.S. embassies and consulates for the day Sunday amid fears of an al Qaeda attack is an unprecedented move.

I suspect come Monday morning everyone will be happy and going about their usual lives.
I also suspect that life will continue pretty much routinely for the remainder of the month of August.

But the above does serve a purpose you know.

[SilentFeathers]

No better way to distract the masses from one scandal is to just create a better one for them to focus on....and scare them all some more in the process!

Doug Hagmann: The Embassy Threat, Proxy War

Hagmann has proven to be a reliable source in the past. If all this is true, it's a blockbuster.- G.M.



By Doug Hagmann




There is one thing certain about the publicized threat to our embassies; it is not what it is presented to be. To accept the official explanation of a nebulous threat from al Qaeda as the reason for closing our embassies across the Middle East and North Africa is being dangerously naive and simplistic.

How we arrived hereThis is much more serious than what we are being told, but not for the reasons we are being given. We are seeing the consequences of a longrunning “Cold War” on two major fronts of political conflict that could escalate into military engagement with proxy nations of world super powers. The world, and life as we know it, could change in an instant should we awaken one morning to the news of bombs flying across the Middle East. That is a very real possibility, as we are now in a heightened proxy war environment. We are standing in a thick forest of dry tinder, and the smallest of sparks could ignite a conflagration the likes of which we have never before seen.

“The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.” This quote attributed to Winston Churchill is applicable to our current situation as it is a consequence of our policies and actions in the Middle East and north Africa.

This was confirmed by a 1300-word e-mail dated June 8, 2008, sent by former British Ambassador to Libya Sir Vincent Fean to Tony Blair, just shy of a year after Blair stepped down as prime minister. The e-mail consisted of a briefing on the state of relations between Great Britain and Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in advance of a visit by Blair to see Gaddafi. His June 10, 2008 visit with Gaddafi would be one of six made by Blair after leaving office and just three years before Gaddafi was deposed by the U.S. and UK-led interests and ultimately murdered.First, it is important to understand that the so-called Arab Spring did not start on December 18, 2010 as a spontaneous revolutionary wave of demonstrations by people to rid themselves from the shackles of governmental oppression. It was planned many years ago by the globalist power brokers, with the latest incarnations perhaps sketched out in the bowels of a Saudi mansion or an estate owned by a cabal of central bankers, partly to change the geopolitical power structure of the Middle East, and partly as a “jobs program” for the military-industrial complex.

Exactly what was the purpose of this meeting as well as the others made by Tony Blair on behalf of the Crown? According to the confidential information obtained by The Telegraph, it was about a prisoner transfer agreement that would be signed once Libya agreed to purchase an air defense system to the tune of about £400 million. The prisoner? Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi. Who would provide the air defense system? MBDA, a missile developer and manufacturer with operations in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United States. They provide products and services for over 90 militaries worldwide. They are a world leader in missiles and missile systems, and employ about 10,000 people in France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany and the United States, and produced about 3,000 missiles and missile systems last year alone.

It is not merely the military-industrial jobs program alone, however. According to the confidential memo, a key objective of Great Britain was to force Libya to invest its £80  billion sovereign wealth fund through the City of London. Additionally, the Department for International Development was also eyeing another Libyan wealth fundworth £130 million “to pay for various schemes in Sierra Leone and other poverty-stricken countries.”

Concurrent with the machinations of the UK, former French minister for Foreign Affairs Roland Dumas shed additional light on plans relating to Libya and Syria in an interviewwith the French TV station LCP:

“I’m going to tell you something. I was in England two years before the violence in Syria on other business. I met with top British officials, who confessed to me that they were preparing something in Syria. This was in Britain not in America.Britain was organizing an invasion of rebels into Syria. They even asked me, although I was no longer minister for foreign affairs, if I would like to participate. Naturally, I refused, I said I’m French, that doesn’t interest me.” [emphasis by this author]

Dumas added:

“The only thing I know [about French Leaders] is that they have gone crazy. President Sarkozy hosted Gaddafi a few months ago at the Élysée Palace, with a red carpet and all the grandiose honors. Two months later, Sarkozy is leading a crusader war, at the head of NATO, which has become a pawn serving international politics. This has been going on for a long time.” He further stated that “I regret to see my country, to which I belong with spirit, blood, and life, leading an instrument such as NATO to come and destroy an entire people and attack its leaders.” [emphasis by this author]

Due to the role of Mr. Dumas in the French government, he could not reveal France’s role in the British plan as he would be exposing himself to prosecution for revealing state secrets, thus explaining his statement, “I’m French, that doesn’t interest me.”

It should be clear that the Arab Spring, including the NATO action taken against Gaddafi’s Libya followed by the rebels attacks against Assad, is part of a globalist agenda rather than a spontaneous uprising that has become the official historical narrative for the naive.

Benghazi exposed

It was shortly after the September 11, 2012 attack in Benghazi that I wrote in explicit detail the actual reason for that attack. Thanks to a highly placed source in the intelligence venue, readers learned the truth ten months before the corporate media finally acknowledged that the compound in Benghazi was the operations center for a large CIA weapons smugglin… where Libya was being used as a weaponsstorage depot to arm the anti-Assad “rebels.”

The attack at Benghazi was described by this administration and the Clinton State Department as a spontaneous protest over an internet video, although that narrative was proven to be a lie. It was a lie they continued to stick with to hide the fact that the U.S., in conjunction with other NATO allies, were actually doing the work of Saudi Arabia. But why – who benefits? To understand the answer to that question, we must look at what Saudi Arabia is and how the Saudi royals came to power. Much like the U.S., the nation of Saudi Arabia itself is a captured operation, established by a cabal of globalists for the sake of oil. It would be helpful to understand the role Aramco and other oil interests played in the establishment of the Saudi power structure.

As the Obama regime continued forward to advance this Saudi-globalist agenda, Russia’s Putin warned the U.S. that the insanity of destabilizing Syria was not in their best interests, and certainly not in ours. When the warnings were not heeded, proxy groups for Russia, Syria and Iran, in the form of Ansar al Sharia and AQIM launched a deadly assault on the CIA operations center in Benghazi.

The continued pressure of possibly exposing the true nature of the activities in Benghazi, from the illegal arms trafficking in violation of international law to the attack itself, became a serious annoyance to the globalist planners and the Obama subjects to the Saudi royals. The assistance to the anti-Assad rebels was interrupted, albeit temporarily, by this exposure. Consequently, the plans for Syria did not go off as intended, and the timetable had to be extended. Now the anti-Assad rebels are “on the ropes,” and they are being beaten with every passing day, having lost much of the covert assistance of the CIA.

This is the reason the true account of Benghazi has yet to be told to the American people, and the reason that the official accounts are continually being pushed in place of the truth.

Today

If you have understood how we arrived here by the short summary provided, then you will see that we are standing on the brink of not just a regional war, but a global war. Those in power do not want you to know their plans until there is nothing anyone can do to stop them.

It is vital to understand that the embassy closures are a signal of the rapidly escalated intervention in the region by the US. It is a modern day equivalent to the Bay of Pigs, except Barack Hussein Obama is no John F. Kennedy. Those old enough might recall that the CIA trained and inserted a group of “freedom fighters” into Cuba to oust Castro. Exactly like the rebels in Syria, those fighters could never overthrow Castro without direct U.S. military intervention and assistance. The situation is exactly the same in Syria today.

The difference is that Kennedy saw the plan for exactly what it was – a globalist plan not to defeat communism, but to engage us in a larger war to the benefit of the globalists and the military-industrial complex. He refused to take the bait and in so doing, bought the world time by avoiding World War III.

Unlike Kennedy who became his own man while in office, Obama continues the globalist agenda by supporting the CIA trained and backed anti-Assad rebels, and is now leading us to the brink of World War III.

To say that the threat to our embassies is from some nebulous threat by al Qaeda is like saying that the group at the Bay of Pigs were just a bunch of Cuban locals. Nothing that we are being told even remotely approaches the truth, yet few seem to grasp the seriousness of what is unfolding before our very eyes.

Our involvement in the Middle East and North Africa is so large that it would be difficult not to telegraph our actions in advance. Therefore, is it possible that the unspecified al Qaeda threat is actually a cover story for some anticipated action in the region?

We are watching brinkmanship at multiple levels on a global chess board. We have done much to destabilize whatever relative peace might have existed in the Middle East through our actions at the hands of our globalist power brokers. Russia, Iran, Syria and China are not amused, and are not looking the other way. The time clock for the anti-Assad rebels is quickly running out. This administration and every elected official who has signed on to do the work of the Saudis and their handlers have painted us into a corner from which there is little hope for escape. We cannot trust anything we are being told, and nothing we are being told even remotely approaches the truth.

We are seeing the beginnings of the transformation from a cold war to a hot war at the nation-state level. We are about to see a trigger event, after which nothing will be the same.
