Security Services And Fear

The task of the security services like MI5 is promoted as being in existence to protect the citizens of UQ (aka UK) Ltd. Not to instill fear. Islamic terrorists are training (allegedly) in germ warfare: biological agents including polio, rabies, TB and avian flu, bacterial food poisoning and rare tropical and Middle Eastern illnesses.

  • If this is so well known, why tell us? Just fix it.

In the background and not advising or announcing to "terrorists" the plans to combat the "threat". But it's that 'catch-it-all' al-Qaeda. Again. No doubt when recruiting scientists and students (offering to fund course fees in exchange for newly acquired expertise) al-Qaeda identifies itself. Could be anybody. Even MI5. If it's true, of course.

The intelligence factor is missing: "[the West will experience] far worse than anything it has seen" if Washington did not change its policies towards Muslim states. Clearly, real influence is arrogantly assumed.
