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” ?
