US embassies to be closed Sunday over security concerns
DEBKAfile August 1, 2013, 11:08 PM (GMT+02:00)

"The Department of State has instructed certain US embassies and consulates to remain closed or to suspend operations out of security concerns on Sunday, August 4," the spokeswoman told reporters Thursday. She said the step was precautionary but declined to specify the threat or which missions would be closed, adding only that “it is possible we may have additional days of closing,” depending on assessments afterwards..



Could it be due to these threats -

Re: Certain U.S. Embassies To Close on Sunday, August 4

I kept hearing this announcement over the news on the radio today and they said the embassies are being closed with UNSPECIFIED threats. That means they ain't gonna tell us what they know!

On another website that was talking about this, someone found out that they are actually sending the embassy staffs back home - here to the U.S. Don't know what's up and looks like no one is saying. Waiting to see what's next.

Has anyone else seen any news on this?

Doesn't the new Iranian president take over tomorrow? What if they are planning to attack the nuclear sites or something?

Interpol issues global security alert, cites jailbreaks across Mideast

On heels of embassy closures and similar warning from US, police group says al-Qaeda may be connected to prison breaks, urges members’ precaution

By AP and Michal Shmulovich August 3, 2013, 7:52 pm

Interpol on Saturday issued an alert advising its 190 members to step up their vigilance against possible terror attacks after a series of recent prison breaks from Libya, Iraq, and Pakistan and six other countries that involve hundreds of terrorists and other criminals. The agency said al-Qaeda may have been involved in some of the incidences, and that it was trying to determine if the different events were somehow linked.

U.S. embassies shuttered in wake of global travel alert

"Fair Use for Information & Discussion Purposes"

The Associated Press
Published Saturday, August 3, 2013 2:25PM EDT
Last Updated Saturday, August 3, 2013 11:53PM EDT

WASHINGTON -- The threat of a terrorist attack led to the weekend closure of 21 U.S. embassies and consulates in the Muslim world and a global travel warning to Americans, the first such alert since an announcement before the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 strikes.

President Barack Obama's counterterrorism adviser updated him on the potential al Qaeda threat before he left Saturday for a round of golf in Maryland to kick off his 52nd birthday celebration this weekend, officials said.

An attack last year on a U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11 killed the ambassador and three other Americans.

OTTAWA -- Canada announced it was closing its embassy in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on Sunday, tightening security amid a widespread terrorism and travel alert triggered by the U.S.

A spokesman for Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said on Saturday the closure is a security precaution.

"We take the safety and security of our personnel and our missions overseas very seriously," said Press Secretary Rick Roth.
"We will continue to monitor events closely and take the appropriate security measures."

Baird had said on Friday there were no plans to close Canadian missions in the region, but he did urge diplomats and Canadian travellers to exercise added caution and said

Interpol issues call for tips on possible al Qaeda links to prison escapes

"Fair Use for Information & Discussion Purposes"

The Associated Press
Published Saturday, August 3, 2013 1:18PM EDT

PARIS -- Interpol has issued a global security alert in connection with suspected al Qaeda involvement in several recent prison escapes including those in Iraq, Libya and Pakistan.

The Lyon, France-based international police agency says that the alert follows "the escape of hundreds of terrorists and other criminals" in the past month. The alert calls on Interpol's 190 member countries to help determine whether these events are co-ordinated or linked, the organization said in a statement Saturday.

Interpol says it issues such alerts fairly regularly, the last one 10 days ago following jailbreaks from Iraq's infamous Abu Ghraib prison and the Taji prison near Baghdad.

Received an email from a Sister in Christ, reads as follows:

AUG 4th: Al Qaeda to Celebrate Obama's B.D; 'Game Changer' Update‏

When Bryant received a "Game Changer" warning from the Lord on 03-07-13, concerning a potential for some sort of destructive event in Washington, DC, on August 4th, it never dawned on me that one potential significance of that date is that it is Obama's birthday! Now we have embassies closing temporarily over an Al-Qaeda threat over the weekend of Obama's birthday. It doesn't make sense in light of this latest headline:



Al Qaeda to Celebrate Obama’s Birthday



Whatever the case, in spite of the seeming confusion over whether Obama is liked or disliked by Islamic radicals, I doubt there will be any problem in Washington, DC, because many of you interceded in prayer and I trust God has answered our prayers. To all of you who prayed a BIG thank you! ;)

Al Qaeda to Celebrate Obama’s Birthday

Posted on August 3, 2013




With Aug 4 being Obama’s birthday, it is interesting that Al Qaeda has threats out there that are closing our embassies around the world on that very day. If they wanted to do something to celebrate Obama’s birthday, hitting the golf course might have been more appropriate.


Check it out:


The Al Qaeda threat that prompted the State Department to issue a worldwide travel alert and close down 21 embassies and consulates for the weekend is serious and ‘very specific,’ Rep. Peter King, chairman of the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, said Friday.

“We’re not certain exactly where something might happen but it’s very specific as to when and it’s also very specific as to the fact that it is going to happen, so we have to be on alert everywhere,” the New York Republican told WINS-AM.

The travel alert was the first of its kind since an announcement preceding the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It came as Washington prepared to close its embassies and consulates throughout the Muslim world this Sunday over security concerns.

U.S. officials have not offered many details on the nature of the threat, but apparently are taking it seriously.

Email I received from a new member who wanted people to be aware of what is really going on.

"Fair Use for Information & Discussion Purposes"

Unmasking the embassy threat

There is one thing certain about the publicized threat to our embassies; it is not what it is presented to be. To accept the official explanation of a nebulous threat from al Qaeda as the reason for closing our embassies across the Middle East and North Africa is being dangerously naive and simplistic.

This is much more serious than what we are being told, but not for the reasons we are being given. We are seeing the consequences of a long running “Cold War” on two major fronts of political conflict that could escalate into military engagement with proxy nations of world super powers. The world, and life as we know it, could change in an instant should we awaken one morning to the news of bombs flying across the Middle East. That is a very real possibility, as we are now in a heightened proxy war environment. We are standing in a thick forest of dry tinder, and the smallest of sparks could ignite a conflagration the likes of which we have never before seen.

Re: Certain U.S. Embassies To Close on Sunday, August 4

Valerie, this last article you posted from Canada Free Press really rips the cover off this fake story of an A-Q threat. It is an article that needs to be read in its entirety to get the full picture. In a nutshell, it is the third phase of Albert Pike and Mazinni's three world war plans being pushed into place. Many of you may be aware that Freemason leader Albert Pike in the U.S. and Mazinni in Europe/Italy wrote an outline of a plan to take over the world globally for a one world government back in the 1800's by creating traumatic, cataclysmic world wars. The purpose was to terrify people into giving up security for unity so they would accept a single world leader under a unified global government which would be forced to worship Lucifer. You can look this up on the internet if you need more info.

The last phase or global war would involve the arabs and the Jews. When you read this article that Valerie posted you will see the hands of the globalists all over it and it looks like they are eager to complete their agenda. Here are some interesting excerpts, but please read the whole article. It is a wonder they can be so frank without being harmed in some way.

First, it is important to understand that the so-called Arab Spring did not start on December 18, 2010 as a spontaneous revolutionary wave of demonstrations by people to rid themselves from the shackles of governmental oppression. It was planned many years ago by the globalist power brokers, with the latest incarnations perhaps sketched out in the bowels of a Saudi mansion or an estate owned by a cabal of central bankers, partly to change the geopolitical power structure of the Middle East, and partly as a “jobs program” for the military-industrial complex.


If you have understood how we arrived here by the short summary provided, then you will see that we are standing on the brink of not just a regional war, but a global war. Those in power do not want you to know their plans until there is nothing anyone can do to stop them.


It is vital to understand that the embassy closures are a signal of the rapidly escalated intervention in the region by the US. It is a modern day equivalent to the Bay of Pigs, except Barack Hussein Obama is no John F. Kennedy. Those old enough might recall that the CIA trained and inserted a group of “freedom fighters” into Cuba to oust Castro. Exactly like the rebels in Syria, those fighters could never overthrow Castro without direct U.S. military intervention and assistance. The situation is exactly the same in Syria today.

The difference is that Kennedy saw the plan for exactly what it was - a globalist plan not to defeat communism, but to engage us in a larger war to the benefit of the globalists and the military-industrial complex. He refused to take the bait and in so doing, bought the world time by avoiding World War III.


We are watching brinkmanship at multiple levels on a global chess board. We have done much to destabilize whatever relative peace might have existed in the Middle East through our actions at the hands of our globalist power brokers. Russia, Iran, Syria and China are not amused, and are not looking the other way. The time clock for the anti-Assad rebels is quickly running out. This administration and every elected official who has signed on to do the work of the Saudis and their handlers have painted us into a corner from which there is little hope for escape. We cannot trust anything we are being told, and nothing we are being told even remotely approaches the truth.

We are seeing the beginnings of the transformation from a cold war to a hot war at the nation-state level. We are about to see a trigger event, after which nothing will be the same.

Re: Certain U.S. Embassies To Close on Sunday, August 4

I agree with you Texas Sue, it is a MUST READ article, therefore I posted the SECOND HALF OF IT BELOW: Please read it, before, someone makes them take
it off the web...the truth hurts, and some people love to deceive others, for their own gain and benefit. We're almost there, I believe we will be going home anytime now. Maranatha! Valerie

SECOND HALF OF THE ARTICLE MENTIONED IN POST ABOVE:

"Fair Use for Information & Discussion Purposes"


How we arrived here

“The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.” This quote attributed to Winston Churchill is applicable to our current situation as it is a consequence of our policies and actions in the Middle East and north Africa.



First, it is important to understand that the so-called Arab Spring did not start on December 18, 2010 as a spontaneous revolutionary wave of demonstrations by people to rid themselves from the shackles of governmental oppression. It was planned many years ago by the globalist power brokers, with the latest incarnations perhaps sketched out in the bowels of a Saudi mansion or an estate owned by a cabal of central bankers, partly to change the geopolitical power structure of the Middle East, and partly as a “jobs program” for the military-industrial complex.

This was confirmed by a 1300-word e-mail dated June 8, 2008, sent by former British Ambassador to Libya Sir Vincent Fean to Tony Blair, just shy of a year after Blair stepped down as prime minister. The e-mail consisted of a briefing on the state of relations between Great Britain and Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in advance of a visit by Blair to see Gaddafi. His June 10, 2008 visit with Gaddafi would be one of six made by Blair after leaving office and just three years before Gaddafi was deposed by the U.S. and UK-led interests and ultimately murdered.

Exactly what was the purpose of this meeting as well as the others made by Tony Blair on behalf of the Crown? According to the confidential information obtained by The Telegraph, it was about a prisoner transfer agreement that would be signed once Libya agreed to purchase an air defense system to the tune of about £400 million. The prisoner? Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi. Who would provide the air defense system? MBDA, a missile developer and manufacturer with operations in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United States. They provide products and services for over 90 militaries worldwide. They are a world leader in missiles and missile systems, and employ about 10,000 people in France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany and the United States, and produced about 3,000 missiles and missile systems last year alone.

It is not merely the military-industrial jobs program alone, however. According to the confidential memo, a key objective of Great Britain was to force Libya to invest its £80  billion sovereign wealth fund through the City of London. Additionally, the Department for International Development was also eyeing another Libyan wealth fund worth £130 million “to pay for various schemes in Sierra Leone and other poverty-stricken countries.”

Concurrent with the machinations of the UK, former French minister for Foreign Affairs Roland Dumas shed additional light on plans relating to Libya and Syria in an interview with the French TV station LCP:


“I’m going to tell you something. I was in England two years before the violence in Syria on other business. I met with top British officials, who confessed to me that they were preparing something in Syria. This was in Britain not in America. Britain was organizing an invasion of rebels into Syria. They even asked me, although I was no longer minister for foreign affairs, if I would like to participate. Naturally, I refused, I said I’m French, that doesn’t interest me.” [emphasis by this author]

Dumas added:


“The only thing I know [about French Leaders] is that they have gone crazy. President Sarkozy hosted Gaddafi a few months ago at the Élysée Palace, with a red carpet and all the grandiose honors. Two months later, Sarkozy is leading a crusader war, at the head of NATO, which has become a pawn serving international politics. This has been going on for a long time.” He further stated that “I regret to see my country, to which I belong with spirit, blood, and life, leading an instrument such as NATO to come and destroy an entire people and attack its leaders.” [emphasis by this author]

Due to the role of Mr. Dumas in the French government, he could not reveal France’s role in the British plan as he would be exposing himself to prosecution for revealing state secrets, thus explaining his statement, “I’m French, that doesn’t interest me.”

It should be clear that the Arab Spring, including the NATO action taken against Gaddafi’s Libya followed by the rebels attacks against Assad, is part of a globalist agenda rather than a spontaneous uprising that has become the official historical narrative for the naive.

Benghazi exposed

It was shortly after the September 11, 2012 attack in Benghazi that I wrote in explicit detail the actual reason for that attack. Thanks to a highly placed source in the intelligence venue, readers learned the truth ten months before the corporate media finally acknowledged that the compound in Benghazi was the operations center for a large CIA weapons smuggling operation where Libya was being used as a weapons storage depot to arm the anti-Assad “rebels.”

The attack at Benghazi was described by this administration and the Clinton State Department as a spontaneous protest over an internet video, although that narrative was proven to be a lie. It was a lie they continued to stick with to hide the fact that the U.S., in conjunction with other NATO allies, were actually doing the work of Saudi Arabia. But why - who benefits? To understand the answer to that question, we must look at what Saudi Arabia is and how the Saudi royals came to power. Much like the U.S., the nation of Saudi Arabia itself is a captured operation, established by a cabal of globalists for the sake of oil. It would be helpful to understand the role Aramco and other oil interests played in the establishment of the Saudi power structure.

As the Obama regime continued forward to advance this Saudi-globalist agenda, Russia’s Putin warned the U.S. that the insanity of destabilizing Syria was not in their best interests, and certainly not in ours. When the warnings were not heeded, proxy groups for Russia, Syria and Iran, in the form of Ansar al Sharia and AQIM launched a deadly assault on the CIA operations center in Benghazi.

The continued pressure of possibly exposing the true nature of the activities in Benghazi, from the illegal arms trafficking in violation of international law to the attack itself, became a serious annoyance to the globalist planners and the Obama subjects to the Saudi royals. The assistance to the anti-Assad rebels was interrupted, albeit temporarily, by this exposure. Consequently, the plans for Syria did not go off as intended, and the timetable had to be extended. Now the anti-Assad rebels are “on the ropes,” and they are being beaten with every passing day, having lost much of the covert assistance of the CIA.

This is the reason the true account of Benghazi has yet to be told to the American people, and the reason that the official accounts are continually being pushed in place of the truth.

Today

If you have understood how we arrived here by the short summary provided, then you will see that we are standing on the brink of not just a regional war, but a global war. Those in power do not want you to know their plans until there is nothing anyone can do to stop them.

It is vital to understand that the embassy closures are a signal of the rapidly escalated intervention in the region by the US. It is a modern day equivalent to the Bay of Pigs, except Barack Hussein Obama is no John F. Kennedy. Those old enough might recall that the CIA trained and inserted a group of “freedom fighters” into Cuba to oust Castro. Exactly like the rebels in Syria, those fighters could never overthrow Castro without direct U.S. military intervention and assistance. The situation is exactly the same in Syria today.

The difference is that Kennedy saw the plan for exactly what it was - a globalist plan not to defeat communism, but to engage us in a larger war to the benefit of the globalists and the military-industrial complex. He refused to take the bait and in so doing, bought the world time by avoiding World War III.

Unlike Kennedy who became his own man while in office, Obama continues the globalist agenda by supporting the CIA trained and backed anti-Assad rebels, and is now leading us to the brink of World War III.

To say that the threat to our embassies is from some nebulous threat by al Qaeda is like saying that the group at the Bay of Pigs were just a bunch of Cuban locals. Nothing that we are being told even remotely approaches the truth, yet few seem to grasp the seriousness of what is unfolding before our very eyes.

Our involvement in the Middle East and North Africa is so large that it would be difficult not to telegraph our actions in advance. Therefore, is it possible that the unspecified al Qaeda threat is actually a cover story for some anticipated action in the region?

We are watching brinkmanship at multiple levels on a global chess board. We have done much to destabilize whatever relative peace might have existed in the Middle East through our actions at the hands of our globalist power brokers. Russia, Iran, Syria and China are not amused, and are not looking the other way. The time clock for the anti-Assad rebels is quickly running out.

U.S. embassies shut down amid 'most serious' threat in years

Alicia A. Caldwell, The Associated Press
Published Sunday, August 4, 2013 1:15PM EDT
Last Updated Sunday, August 4, 2013 1:18PM EDT


WASHINGTON -- The weekend closure of nearly two dozen U.S. diplomatic posts in the Muslim world resulted from the gravest terrorist threat seen in years, the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee said Sunday.

Sen. Saxby Chambliss said "the chatter" intercepted by U.S. intelligence agencies led the Obama administration to shutter 22 embassies and consulates and issue a global travel warning to Americans.

"Chatter means conversation among terrorists about the planning that's going on -- very reminiscent of what we saw pre-9-11," Chambliss told NBC's "Meet the Press."

"This is the most serious threat that I've seen in the last several years," he said.

Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, told ABC's "This Week" that the threat intercepted from "high-level people in al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula" was about a "major attack."

Yemen is home to al Qaeda's most dangerous affiliate, blamed for several notable terrorist plots on the United States. They include the foiled Christmas Day 2009 effort to bomb an airliner over Detroit and the explosives-laden parcels intercepted the following year aboard cargo flights.

Rep. Pete King, who leads the House Homeland Security subcommittee on counterterrorism and intelligence, said the threat included dates but not locations of possible attacks.

"The threat was specific as to how enormous it was going to be and also that certain dates were given," King said on ABC.

Rep. Adam Schiff, a House Intelligence Committee member, said the "breadth" of the closures suggests U.S. authorities are concerned about a potential repeat of last year's riots and attacks at multiple embassies, including the deadly assault in Benghazi, Libya, where the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed.

In addition, Interpol, the French-based international policy agency, has issued a global security alert in connection with suspected al Qaeda involvement in several recent prison escapes including those in Iraq, Libya and Pakistan.

Those prison breaks add to the concerns about an attack, said Schiff, a Democrat, also noting the approaching end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

"So you have a lot things coming together. ... But all of that would not be enough without having some particularly specific information," he said.

Update as of Sun Aug 4, 2013 6:41pm EDT:

The United States extended embassy closures by a week in the Middle East and Africa as a precaution on Sunday after an al Qaeda threat that U.S. lawmakers said was the most serious in years.

The State Department said 19 U.S. embassies and consulates would be closed through Saturday "out of an abundance of caution" and that a number of them would have been closed anyway for most of the week due to the Eid celebration at the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

The United States initially closed 21 U.S. diplomatic posts for the day on Sunday. Some of those will reopen on Monday, including Kabul, Baghdad and Algiers.

Four new diplomatic posts - in Madagascar, Burundi, Rwanda and Mauritius - were added to the closure list for the week...


U.S. extends embassy closings, lawmakers say threat serious

Re: Certain U.S. Embassies To Close on Sunday, August 4

Thanks Dale,

Thanks for the update, and yes thanks for highlighting in blue the number
"21"! Watch alert, that the Rapture is near!!! The number 21 alone stands for exceeding sinfulness of sins; God is giving us a heads up, that judgment is coming and our departure is at hand!!! Thanks be to God, for we are not appointed for God's wrath!!! The sky blue color reminds me of Heaven; look up our redemption draws nigh! The black color 21 reminds me of exceeding sinfulness, which the earth is experiencing now.

I wanted to let everyone know, to make sure and listen to Pastor Faraq's video, he speaks about the embassy closures and explains it all from the Bible perspective. It's a must see video and listen to video. I'll post it here as well, so everyone has a chance to watch it and not miss it.

Dale, we are going home any time NOW, and I have never been so sure as I am this very day! Pastor Faraq also believes so with all his heart.

Maranatha!
