Double Speak

Can someone find the quote in the media over the past day or so where city officials, either Shortshanks or J-Fled, claim Chicago isn't a target after the NYC Times Square bombing attempt?

And then someone can tell us why the instructors over at the TO-SPOT training are telling people that there is solid intelligence that there will be a mass transit attack sometime this year?

We're just trying to reconcile the conflicting information.

Scc relax. If there is info about an attack the mayor or anybody else shouldn't give out all the info they have to the media. There is enough things to bash our piece of shit mayor about so stop fishing with things about this. Do you want daley to also tell the media our plan on how to deal with an attak too?

I won't work in the tubes, we are canaries in that coal mine. If there is an attack down there all we would be if we are down there are casualties. Our mere presence won't intimidate anyone from making an attack.

All the news reporters out there that regularly peruse this blog site, can one of you pose that question to the mayor? I think it's a fair question to ask and worthy of an explanantion for the discrepancy noted.

Can anyone tell us if they were officially notified in any manner regarding this incident as it occurred? I did not see a teletype, I mean fax these days, concerning this to warn the officers on the street to be aware or extra vigilant, especially in 001 and 018. One would think that having a Superintendent with such an esteem FBI background including anti-terrorism would lead to better notification to the pawns, I mean personnel out in the field!

Well clearly Shortshanks and J-Fled are smarter than the rest of us. You know that. Those TO-SPOT instructors are just silly.

They're targeting Chicago because we failed in our Olympic bid!

If we'd gotten the Olympics, they would've left us alone!

If the terrorists were smart, they'd save their assets and just sit back and watch us implode.

The Democratic party is doing more to destroy this country than a handful of "dirty bombs" could ever do.

Bank and big auto bailouts. ObamaCare. Amnesty for illegal aliens. Record deficits in several states, including Illinois. The bust of the housing market. The recession. Housing and medical "entitlements" for the non-contributors. The list goes on and on, while the Dummycrats propose more "free" programs for the dregs of society on an almost-daily basis.

Although I can sort of see the allure of the promise of 72 virgins upon martyrdom. Pure marketing genius behind whoever thought up that shit.

That TOSPOT training was part of Fed grant ( Bush Adm) at least 2 yrs ago and could be found on the 2008 & 09 City Budget under Transit Security. City got the $ but no Training, OT Initiatives or Hiring. Then Big O was elected, a failed Olympic bid and still no contract for CPD-business as usual in Chicago. Now I AX you, where did the money go? Does anyone know just how to decipher that bogus city budget?

May 3, 2010 9:05 am US/Central Weis On New York Car Bomb: No Threats In Chicago Police Supt. Praises Vendor Who Found Suspicious SUV
CHICAGO (CBS) ―

Following the attempted car bomb attack in New York's Times Square, Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis
said there is no indication of any similar threats in Chicago.

*Car Bomb Found In NYC's Times Square (5/2/2010)

Following the attempted car bomb attack in New York's Times Square, Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis
said there is no indication of any similar threats in Chicago.

But he said everyday people such as the T-shirt vendor who reported the incident in New York are the
key to keeping the country safe.

"After 9-11, we chased a lot of leads, and we'd much rather chase a lot of false alarms than miss the one that could potentially cause the city harm," Weis said. "That vendor is a great American, because he potentially saved a catastrophe."

Times Square was evacuated on Saturday after the Nissan Pathfinder was spotted. It contained a car bomb composed of was a crude concoction of ordinary items - fireworks, fuel and fertilizer - that authorities suspect was meant to cause maximum mayhem.

In the end, the device fizzled and the city and its residents counted themselves lucky once again: lucky that the vendor saw smoke creeping out of the car parked; lucky that authorities responded quickly; and lucky that the would-be terrorists were clumsy enough to assemble a bomb that wasn't capable of exploding.

New York City police have since spoken to the registered owner of the vehicle.

In Chicago on Saturday, there was a suspicious package that shut down the entire Dan Ryan Expressway and Red Line trains
for two hours. The package was found on a train at the 95th Street terminal Saturday evening, fire officials said.

But no explosives were found, as the "suspicious package" turned out to be a pipe, police News Affairs Officer Amina Greer said.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Not a P.O. here, just a supporter.

A canine and his handler checked out my train car on the redline north today, around Monroe, around 5:00 PM

But I'm sure there's no threat....

Keep up the good work. You guys have a lot of silent supporters in this city who know that you have a thankless job.

I saw mayor Bloomberg taking the subway to work today..they say he does it everyday. Why can't our mayor take public transportation to work everyday? Why does he need security/bodyguards (highly paid CPD personnel with weapons) at his side here and when he travels? Why is the taxpayer hit with such overspending by our own mayor? Here's a guy that is pushing gun control to the max, but has his own armed guards at his side 24/7.

Watch how Weis is now playing up his influence and connections with the feds to get the scoop on terrorism. He must remind everybody how important he is as he has the pulse of Al qeada. But the urban gang problem eludes him. Anything to deflect the hail of murders that will decend on the city as urban terror is already here with the gangs running the show and understaffed police running from call to call doing paper. Revs will be calling for his head soon.

Olympics don't want to come here, neither do terrorists I guess. j-fled said so and that is that.

If anyone saw the movie "The Kingdom", primary attack brought the first responders to the scene, an ambulance was then used for the much larger, main blast.

It's hollywood of course but if some director can think of it you have to think that abdul maybe has thought if it also.

when I try and wrap my brain around "bullet proof mind" and TARA, and that TO-SPOT training I come to the conclusion that its not "IF" its gonna happen but "WHEN" if gonna happen here in Chicago.

Bullet proof mind let you know that if you have to kill someone its OK.

We are so screwed, when the day comes.

===================================
O.P. of "silent supporter" here.
I do my part. My wife does her part. I call my alderman/congressman/representative's when I have a beef. I write letters to the editor.

The few times we have had contact with a police officer (3 contacts in 5 years living in Chicago) we are respectful, honest, etc.

What more can you ask of us citizens?

But it doesn't matter. We live in crook county. We live in Illinois. We're white, young, conservative.

So basically, we're fucked. we should move out to a burb and be done with it.

My dear citizen: many thanks for your support. Please note however, that fleeing to the burbs won't do you good, the burbs are becoming the second coming of the west side, too many pockets of section 8 housing which attracts human vermin. You have to get out of this state to find somewhere decent to live, the more GOP, the better. Good luck and thanks again for your support.
