How Much Fear Is There?
There’s a lot of fear, or maybe paranoia is a better description…. a perfect example of what happens when the sheeple are told by their government to be afraid, somethings coming.
Two people who sprinkled flour in a parking lot to mark a trail for their offbeat running club inadvertently caused a bioterrorism scare and now face a felony charge.
The sprinkled powder forced hundreds to evacuate an IKEA furniture store Thursday.
New Haven ophthalmologist Daniel Salchow, 36, and his sister, Dorothee, 31, who is visiting from Hamburg, Germany, were both charged with first-degree breach of peace, a felony.
WTF is “first degree breach of peace” anyway….. premeditated flour sprinkling with malice aforethought or something?
Said the Mayoral spokeswoman
“You see powder connected by arrows and chalk, you never know,†she said. “It could be a terrorist, it could be something more serious. We’re thankful it wasn’t, but there were a lot of resources that went into figuring that out.â€
A lot of resources? The guy biked back to IKEA and told them it was freaking baking flour for gods sake.
This does of course explain what happened to local threatre club members practicing for an outdoor production of Hansel and Grettel – they were tossed in jail as terrorist suspects.

Weird, eh?
The entire point of terrorism is to destabilize by making people afraid. The US government and a large chunk of URQ blogdom seem astonishingly happy to assist Al Qaeda in that goal. They’ve created this self-sustaining miasma of fear that no longer requires any actual validation at all.
The terrorist gain small victories each time our governments succumb to more intrusive measures that limit freedom in the name of security. Clearly they are doing quite well in this regard.
“The sprinkled powder forced hundreds to evacuate an IKEA furniture store Thursday.”
No, it didn’t. It was some no-balls-no-brains dumbshit weenie refugee from reality who couldn’t wait to push the panic button that caused the evacuation. If anyone should be arrested and charged with a felony, it should be him, for inciting a riot. I mean, isn’t there a law against raising false alarms (yelling “FIRE!” in a theater if there is no fire)? But nooooo…he’ll probably get a fucking medal, or something.
“The Boy Who Cried Wolf” ought to be compulsory reading for every citizen, and there ought to be an exam with the pass mark set at 100% before anyone is allowed to go out in public without wearing a muzzle.
