Some stats to put things in perspective, pointed out by Brad Blog:
In 2009, 45,000 Americans died due to lack of health insurance according to a recent Harvard study.
Getting hit by lightning vs. getting killed on a plane due to terrorism: The odds of being on given departure which is the subject of a terrorist incident have been 1 in 10,408,947 over the past decade. By contrast, the odds of being struck by lightning in a given year are about 1 in 500,000. This means that you could board 20 flights per year and still be less likely to be the subject of an attempted terrorist attack than to be struck by lightning.

So, we're freaking out about an idiot who didn't blow off a bomb on an airplane and killed zero people. The CIA knew about this guy way ahead of time. The corporate owned media who's interest is not OUR interests, reports 100x more on ZERO people killed on a plane vs. 45,000 Americans dying every year due to not having health insurance. That's FIFTEEN 9/11's a year! 45,000 Americans dying each year is like having MORE THAN ONE 9/11 A MONTH! There's elements within our government, or around our government (CIA), that are trumping up terrorism and even in on it or letting it happen, to take away more of our liberties. And the corporate owned media is also in on it. The same people are running that, too. Wake up! And they're calling it the "liberal media" to throw you off.

plunger: What the kid's father had no way of knowing, was that it was the CIA itself who had recruited his son and prepared him for the failed bombing attempt. The father goes to the Embassy and meets with a spook who already knows that the CIA has targeted his son as a tool. They dutifully take down all the information, as if learning of it for the first time, and insist that the father not speak to anyone else about this. The CIA laughs, and proceeds with its alleged Al Qaeda operation. Does it get any more obvious?
You’ve heard by now the Haskell story right? In case you haven’t let’s start there. Kurt Haskell is an attorney. He and his wife were in Amsterdam that day after a safari and Kurt witnessed the underwear bomber (Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab) before the flight being aided by what Haskell described to be an older Indian gentleman who was well dressed.
Was the “sharp dressed man” who assisted the young Nigerian to board the Detroit-bound aircraft WITHOUT A PASSPORT a CIA operative? Why is the MSM not discussing what the rest of the world is discussing about one or two apparent “accomplices?”

Israel and Rupert Murdoch's media empire:
Israel just FAKED the Iranian nuke document, and we were warned well in advance of this plane bomber by his father and nothing was done. Anyone think something funny is going on here? Does anyone else think the corporate owned media is pushing more wars against Arab countries (Iran and Yemen) and publicizing this failed bomber way out of whack in which ZERO people died vs. 45,000 Americans per year die due to lack of health insurance? And they are publicizing this failed bomber way out of whack to take away more liberties from us? You know: sacrifice liberties for safety? The media has you more scared of the ZERO people who died in the plane vs. FIFTEEN 9/11's per year of Americans dying with no health insurance!!! WHO is the company pimping full body scanners at airports??? Are the media, Israel, and our government just going to keep faking things until one slips by and we attack Iran and Yemen? How many times does this have to happen?
WASHINGTON, Dec 28 (IPS) - U.S. intelligence has concluded that the document published recently by the Times of London, which purportedly describes an Iranian plan to do experiments on what the newspaper described as a "neutron initiator" for an atomic weapon, is a fabrication, according to a former Central Intelligence Agency official.
Philip Giraldi, who was a CIA counterterrorism official from 1976 to 1992, told IPS that intelligence sources say that the United States had nothing to do with forging the document, and that Israel is the primary suspect. The sources do not rule out a British role in the fabrication, however.
The Times of London story published Dec. 14 did not identify the source of the document. But it quoted "an Asian intelligence source" - a term some news media have used for Israeli intelligence officials - as confirming that his government believes Iran was working on a neutron initiator as recently as 2007.
The story of the purported Iranian document prompted a new round of expressions of U.S. and European support for tougher sanctions against Iran and reminders of Israel's threats to attack Iranian nuclear programme targets if diplomacy fails.
U.S. news media reporting has left the impression that U.S. intelligence analysts have not made up their mind about the document's authenticity, although it has been widely reported that they have now had a full year to assess the issue.
Giraldi's intelligence sources did not reveal all the reasons that led analysts to conclude that the purported Iran document had been fabricated by a foreign intelligence agency. But their suspicions of fraud were prompted in part by the source of the story, according to Giraldi.
"The Rupert Murdoch chain has been used extensively to publish false intelligence from the Israelis and occasionally from the British government," Giraldi said.
