On Tuesday New Yorkers got a chilling wake up call about just how badly terrorists want to strike their the city. Just who are these terrorists? Is this another warning from the elite as to their next move on the global chess board?
The warning came straight from the top: President Obama. Answering the question of wether or not he considered Russia to be America’s number one threat, Obama said he is more worried about Manhattan getting nuked than any supposed threat posed by Russia.
Tuesday during a news conference in the Europe, Obama said he’s far more worried about the possibility of a nuclear weapon exploding in New York City than he is about the threat posed by Russia following its invasion of Ukraine.
He spoke dismissively of Russia as “a regional power that is threatening some of its immediate neighbors, not out of strength, but out of weakness.”
However there are others who see Putin as the strongest man in world politics right now. Remember Obama’s message to Putin in March of 2012?
“Russia’s recent actions in Crimea are not a problem. They don’t pose the No. 1 national security threat to the United States,” Obama said in The Hague, Netherlands.
“I continue to be much more concerned when it comes to our security with the prospect of a nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan.”
Obama was responding to a question about whether Russia’s seizure of Crimea proved that Republican Mitt Romney “had a point” in the 2012 presidential race when he called Russia America’s top geopolitical foe.
Obama’s “naiveté with regards to Russia and his faulty judgment about Russia’s intentions and objectives has led to a number of foreign policy challenges that we face,” Romney said.
With his remarks Tuesday, Obama doubled down on that position.
There was no indication Tuesday — from the White House or from the NYPD — that there is any new threat targeting New York.
“The President was not discussing intelligence when he said, ‘I continue to be much more concerned when it comes to our security with the prospect of a nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan,’” White House National Security Staff spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said.
Deputy Police Commissioner Stephen Davis sounded a similar note.
“For years the NYPD has recognized the fact that Manhattan is considered a potential terror target. We continue to maintain an appropriate level of security according to on-going threat assessments. There are currently no known threats of this nature against the city,” he said.
Since 2007, the Department of Homeland Security has poured more than $118 million into the NYPD-led Securing the Cities nuclear detection program.
The city’s share of funding has dropped, however, since the program was expanded to Los Angeles, and in his 2015 budget proposal, Obama called for cutting the program to $12 million a year from $22 million.
However, Homeland Security Secretary and native New Yorker Jeh Johnson pledged during a recent budget hearing on Capitol Hill to meet the city’s anti-terror needs.
“I will commit to you that as long as I am secretary, New York will be adequately funded in this regard,” Johnson assured Rep. Pete King (R-Long Island),
Asked about Obama’s comments Tuesday, King agreed that preventing an attack on New York City is the nations’ top security challenge.
But he said Obama was wrong to downplay the threat posed by Russia.
“It’s a totally different type of warfare,” said King, who is also a member of the House Intelligence Committee.
In lower Manhattan Tuesday night, many New Yorkers may have agreed with Obama’s threat assessment.
But David Knowles, 58, a science teacher from the Bronx, took issue with Obama’s blunt remarks. “It’s chilling when the President talks like that,” he said. “It sows fear …. Even after 9/11, a nuclear device seems far-fetched.”
Obama’s news conference came at the conclusion of the third international Nuclear Security Summit.
Alex Jones breaks down why Obama is bringing up a nuclear attack in New York City.
Was Obama warning us of the next false flag event to soon hit another major American city or was he minimizing the lastest invasion by Putin into Crimea?
Was allowing Putin to take Crimea what he meant by “After this next election I will have more latitude” ?
Michael J. Marsalek, I think you hit the nail on the head!! Just like the demolition of building 7 was to destroy the SEC records of Enron, a nuke would cover this crime very conveniently! Obviously, the loss of innocent lives is no problem to them provided the financial rewards are adequate!
A nuke would also facilitate a call for Martial Law and all of its benefits: Suspension of the Constitution and elections, a free hand to deal with domestic and foreign enemies, a fast tracking of the global agendas and the justification to use nukes elsewhere to help move things along…
With the “success” of 9/11, I’m afraid you are right as they are emboldened to up the ante for this next false flag event with nukes…
Putin did not take Crimea. Crimea had an election, the peoples’ election made their choice. Nobody held guns to their heads. Hopefully they can keep the jew banksters out.
The US banksters have not returned all of Germany’s gold which was/is stored in the US. The gold from Ukraine goes to the banksters’ pockets which was about 33 tons. Not enough to pay back Germany. Yes, ozspeakup, another ponzi stunt coming up the backside. And Michael J. Marsalek you’re right on.
If Obama was really worried about nukes in New York City, he’d shut down Indian Point, the nuclear facility, north of NYC, sitting on a fault line.
theyve also now got a nice big stolen plane and a lot of stolen amerikkan nukes..
oh thats OK they plan to use the recently aquired Ukraine gold to do a ponzi stunt and hand it to germany to bail their sorry asses out for a while longer.
At some point in the very near future it is most probable that a nuclear device will be detonated at of near the Federal Reserve Depository where other nations’ gold reserves are supposed to be being held for safe keeping by the US. Germany has requested just to see their gold deposits and have been inexplicably and categorically denied. Germany agreed with the US to repatriate their gold gradually, but the first shipment was far short of the agreed on amount and was not the same gold that Germany had on deposit. Recently it was uncovered that the US was secretly wiretapped Angela Merkel’s private phone conversations presumably to monitor the situation. Saudi Arabia and others are expressing concern about their gold deposits in the US.
