MAKE UP A TERRORIST NAME AND HYPE THE THREAT! = fearsome powers = ‘a clear and present danger’

Glenn Greenwald lambasted MSM Overhype of sudden new threat to the world to justify the start of the bombing campaign in Syria – Then Khorasan narrative simply evaporated as quickly as it materialized.

THE FAKE TERROR THREAT HYPED BY USA MSM

MSM HYPE WORDS: Associated Press then CBS

USA GOV = difficulty of getting and sustaining public support – Uses Beheadings as common as TEXAS MURDERS and EXECUTIONS in Saudi Arabia

Khorasan group – Name refers to a province of Afghanistan.

Brand new terror threat!

FAR WORSE THAN ISIS!

An unprecedented threat!

Too radical even for Al Qaeda!

A secret group even scarier and more threatening than ISIS!

Poses a direct and immediate threat to the American Homeland!

Warn of this new shadowy, worse-than-ISIS terror group!

Band of extremists!

Mix of hardened jihadis poses a more direct and imminent threat to Americans!

Bomb-makers to target U.S. aviation!

Linked to veteran al-Qaida who did 9ll!

Sent by al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri to board a U.S.-bound airliners!

AP warned Americans!

“the fear is that the Khorasan militants will provide these sophisticated explosives to their Western recruits who could sneak them onto U.S.-bound flights.”

The Khorasan Group “is considered the more immediate threat.”

HIGHLY CLASSIFIED!

The need to protect Americans from being exploded in civilian jets! “ominous voice tones by host narrator on CBS”

We are learning of a new and growing terror threat from Syria Al Qaeda cell!

You probably never heard of them!

Nearly everything about them is classified.

SSome consider more dangerous than ISIS.

Orr announced that while ISIS is “dominating headlines and terrorist propaganda”

Orr “sources” warn of “a more immediate threat to the U.S. Homeland.”

CBS flashed alternating video showing scary Muslims in Syria with innocent westerners waiting in line at airports

U.S. officials ordered “enhanced screening” for “hidden explosives.”

Orr warns ”an emerging threat in Syria” where “hardened terrorists” are building “hard to detect bombs.

U.S. government, Orr explained, is trying to keep this all a secret!

Orr said UUS GOOV won’t even mention the group’s name in public!

Orr “sources confirm the Al Qaeda cell goes by the name Khorasan.”

Orr they’re “developing fresh plots to attack U.S. aviation.”

Obama administration officials publicly touting the group as the KNOWN LIAR James Clapper warned starkly: “In terms of threat to the homeland, Khorasan may pose as much of a danger as the Islamic State.”

MMSM — “Supreme Threat” — A big secret the government was trying to conceal.

NYT — “U.S. Suspects More Direct Threats Beyond ISIS…posed a more direct threat to America and Europe…Cell in Syria that may be the most intent on hitting the United States…led by a senior Qaeda operative so close to Bin Laden (he) knew about the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks before they were launched.”

The threat is “Members of the cell are said to be particularly interested in devising terror plots using concealed explosives.”

Khorasan-attacking-Americans alarm!

Daily Beast‘s Eli Lake warned, “American analysts had pieced together detailed information on a pending attack..”

“Use hard-to-detect explosives on airliners!”

“launch more-coordinated and larger attacks on the West in the style of the 9ll!”

Josh Rogin claimed, “Iran has long been harboring senior al Qaeda, al Nusra, and so-called Khorasan Group leaders as part of its complicated strategy.”

Richard Engel tweeted “Khorasan is a threst to USbecause it aims to bring down airplanes with explosives!”

NBC Nightly News — “The New Enemy!” with Engel “it wants to bring down airplanes with explosives.”

CNN claimed, ”the group was actively plotting against a U.S. homeland target and Western targets!” say anonymous sources said the group posed an “imminent” threat.

CNN later said the threat was not imminent.

“The plots were believed to be in an advanced stage!

“Militants obtained materials and were working on new improvised explosive devices!”

“The terrorist group even planned to conceal explosive devices in toothpaste or flammable clothing!”

Holder claimed: “they were getting close to an execution date!”

CNN’s Barbara Starr, “all necessary to stop a Khorasan attack very close to being carried out against the west!”

CNN: “Khorasan Al Qaeda veterans planning an attack against the US homeland and Europe — perhaps in its final stages — of planning that attack.”

Obama claims, “Once again, it must be clear to anyone who would plot against America and try to do Americans harm that we will not tolerate safe havens for terrorists who threaten our people.”

Then Pentagon claimed airstrike killed “the Khorasan leader!”

Once Khorasan served its purpose of justifying the bombing in Syria it simply evaporated as quickly as it materialized – “No Credible Evidence” of plan to attack USA.

September 25, NYT just days after hyping the Khorasan threat to the homeland — Noted how little evidence actually existed for all those claims about imminent threats to the homeland: “One senior American official…said that there did not yet seem to be a concrete plan in the works.”

FEW DAYS = MSM went from “perhaps in its final stages of planning its attack” to “there did not yet seem to be a concrete plan in the works.”

James Comey, FBI director = acknowledged U.S. did not have precise intelligence – “I don’t know exactly what that word means…’imminent’” — a rather consequential admission given that said imminence was used as the justification for launching military action in the first place.

Even more remarkable — The very existence of the “Khorasan Group” was an invention of the American government. NBC’s Engel had serious second thoughts about the group’s existence. Nexus found no existence prior to the HYPE September 13, 2014. Comey said as much.

Former terrorism federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy wrote in NEW article in National Review that the group was a scam: “You haven’t heard of the Khorasan Group because there isn’t one.”

What happened here is all-too-familiar propagandistic rationale for bombing = ISIS beheading videos from Israeli source + FAKED Khorasan

“never-before-heard-of group that was Worse Than ISIS = “hardened terrorists,” posed an “imminent” threat to the U.S. homeland + “final stages” of plots to take down U.S. civilian aircraft + could “launch more-coordinated and larger attacks on the West in the style of the 9ll.”

ALL based on Anonymous sources and almost no evidence for any of this. MSM did their JOB OF LYING TO AMERICANS to HYPE YET ANOTHER WAR while pretending the U.S. government was trying not to talk about all of this — too secret!

Once the damage was done, the evidence quickly emerged about what a sham this all was. But, as always with these government/media propaganda campaigns, the truth emerges only when it’s impotent.
