US Embassy raises alarm of 'possible terrorist attack' in Sandton

[Cosmik Debris]

So the terrorists saw our superior and way advanced security forces and they got cold feet?

Would you commit an act with choppers buzzing around and escape routes blocked by waiting stopper groups? That's a standard tactic, not advanced. Learn a bit more about the subject and come and discuss.

So they were afraid of our security forces? They must be extremely incompetent.

I don't tell anyone what to think. But I will refute any misinformation with facts. Now can you get on topic please?

Oh my dear lost soul, I am on topic. I've seen the reports that the information was communicated but got lost somewhere between departments and briefings. I've also seen the reports refuting this and saying that the information was never received. But open your eyes and take a look at all the countries that don't go along with the US agenda. Suddenly they all seem to have developed a severe case of local protests followed by a secondary infection of large scale civil violence.

Quite a few of these countries are coming out and stating that the riots/protests are due to western influence as well. Now you going to say prove it, well let me explain to you that you do not need proof for common sense to prevail. Our entire civil law system is based on this as well where you do not need absolute proof but just on the preponderance of probability that the accusation is true.

The latest seems to be that even the SA government found this very strange that protocol was not followed by ANY of the embassies. These are all US ally embassies. There was even a few in government that are now questioning the motives of the false terror alert and whether this may be a longer term plan to try and establish a permanent US base in SA.

But I suppose when we don't go along with this then SA will be threatened in some economic way again which is what the US does and if that doesn't work then we will be labeled a financier of terrorist activities or something in that line.

The real threat is the expansion of BRICS and the undermining of the US dollar which is near collapse in a few years once there is no global force (such as war time activities) propelling the US dollar in circulation. Should the sudden demand for the US dollar drop and the abandonment of the petrodollar take place then the US dollar would need to stand on the US economic policies alone and those my dear friend are far from stable nor sustainable. At some point they need to pay the piper for printing all that money over the last 3 years. There is a reason why there are countries looking at alternatives to the US dollar for international trade. There is a reason why the US needs to fuel the international use of the US dollar.

Now if you think these are all not related then you are a bigger fool than initially thought.

If you still have to explain that to somebody here, might I suggest the recipient may not be suitable material for any form knowledge transfer?

You read all that into a terrorist threat that was shared with the SSA?

You actually excuse the SSA of losing such priority information between departments? The senior at the briefing should have handled it himself and not leave it to a minion. He has direct access to the minister.

And the rest of your post are your musings and nothing to with a terror threat in SA.

"On the balance of probabilities" means more likely than not. It is far more likely that the SSA was made aware of it, and simply threw the message away. They have proven themselves time and time again to be completely disengaged with their real mandate and instead focus and align their activities on the political objectives of their ANC handlers, and supporting factional battles within the ANC.

In the wake of the failures of state intelligence revealed by the 2021 July unrest, President Cyril Ramaphosa has moved the State Security Agency to the Presidency where a closer eye can be kept on it. It’s part of a growing centralisation of power which might look fine under Ramaphosa, but...

Did they blow up Joburg international airport

Who are "they"? An ANC bomb was planted in the Johannesburg railway station that killed a person. They're cowards and terrorists because they attacked a civilian target and civilians.

A time bomb placed in the Johannesburg railway station exploded during the evening rush hours. The explosion resulted in the death of one person and severe injuries to more than twenty others, including Ms Clasina Vogel. Ms Vogel was severely injured with burn wounds to her body, hands, legs, face and head, shrapnel wounds to her legs and burst ...

Yeah, they aren't as good as people think they are. I mean they were totally unprepared for that day the uncivilized Trump supporters stormed the capitol and committed acts of barbarism.

So the question remains. What was the evidence and was it credible.
It was more likely a Nigerian scammer making a quick buck from gullible state security operators.

 

[Grant]

Yeah, you not really as smart as you think you are. All those comments stated the source was the US so you actually just making my point. So thanks.

Turns out you are actually a whole lot thicker than you even imagined - and beyond what anyone else ever thought possible

Are you aware of how information is evaluated for veracity and assigned credibility by the intelligence services?
