Cross dressing terrorists are the latest security threat:

Washington, Aug 22 2004 (ANI):

Anti-terrorism authorities in America are asking citizens to keep a look out for any cross-dressing males, as they could be a threat to the nation.

According to the National Enquirer, security officials have recently observed a new trend, that of insurgents from countries like Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean, who dress up as women to throw off the police.

Intelligence agencies have also found evidence that the terrorists have
a link to terrorist organisations like Hamas and Al Queda. One such group is
based on the East Coast.

Officials are now asking the general public to keep their eyes and ears open as these terrorists are rumoured to be scouting malls, New York's Trump
Tower, the Sears Tower in Chicago, and the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia.

Federal officers have also started carrying women's clothing in order
to be able to beat the terrorists at their own game. "Federal officers are
now carrying other gender clothes for a quick change in order to follow suspects who cross-dress in malls when they are up to no good," the report quoted an intelligence officer as saying.

"We are relying on an aware public to keep their eyes open and be keenly
vigilant of any suspicious activities in their own locales," another official added.


I don't buy it. As we all know it takes a little more than "carrying other gender clothes for a quick change." It's an amusing read if nothing else! I mean heck, they're using the National Enquirer as a source!! -Jen

:eek:

After spending ten yrs in the military I have to look at this news as part of a bigger picture. Not long ago I was listening to a radio program that was talking about the links between various government organizations and various religious orders. As well as a connection to the Free Masons.

According to the person speaking the free masons have been and are still in control of these agencies and wield their power through the catholic church, which as we all know is the single most powerful entity in the world today. Now I don't know for sure if any of this is true but when you look deep into it you start to see places where it makes a case for it's self.

For instance: Did you know that at the end of WWII the catholic church helped various high ranking nazi leaders to escape from europe to evade prosicution. This I know to be true due to research i have done myself on the matter.
The church also knew about the death camps during the war and did nothing about it.

It makes me wonder if, due to thier "beliefs" they have decided to attack groups of people that they deam sub-human due to their sexual orentation or their need for self expression. Now don't get me wrong I am not an athiest. I was raised in church by God fearing parents and a maternal grandmother that was at times very zealous about her beliefs. Which have translated in me into a firm belief in God.
But what if the catholic church has been exerting it will again and overlooking the innocent victims. As they did in WWII.

That said I think that we as CD's should take extra care when we are out. Dressed or not. And especially when we are shopping for things for our fem side. I would hate to see one of us get seriously hurt because of some ignorant, misunderstanding neanderthall who has read that artical and is on a crusade to rid the country of the "CD Threat"

hugs to all

" Austrian seminary rocked by porn scandal closed

VIENNA - The Vatican on Thursday shut down a seminary in Austria where investigators found thousands of pictures of students and instructors kissing and fondling.

Authorities reported finding about 40,000 photos and a large number of videos on computers at the seminary in the diocese of St. Poelten, about 80 kilometres west of Vienna. Some of the material included child pornography.

When some of the pictures appeared in Austrian media, Pope John Paul II responded to the public uproar by sending in Bishop Klaus Kueng three weeks ago as an "apostolic visitor" to contain the scandal.

Kueng told reporters on Thursday that he was closing the seminary immediately to make way for "a new beginning." He has said he would restore credibility to the church.

The evidence of "active homosexual relationships" he found at the seminary was "very painful," said Kueng.

The church ordered local Bishop Kurt Krenn to stop speaking to the media after he tried to play down the scandal by describing the photos of priests kissing and fondling as "childish pranks."

Prosecutors have charged a 27-year-old Polish seminary student with possessing and distributing child pornography, which could bring two years in prison.

Kueng said church leaders hadn't paid enough attention to the procedures for selecting seminary students.

There were 36 students at the seminary at the start of the summer. Two have left. If the others wish to return when it opens again, they will have to undergo a new screening process.

Kueng gave no indication how long the seminary would be shut.

The last time a Pope sent an emissary to Austria was in 1998, when Austrian cardinal Hans Hermann Groer was accused of molesting young boys.

The findings of the investigation were never made public, but Groer gave up all his church duties and left the country."

Yes AnnMaria, they are called the Illuminati. They are into everything, the church, free masons, the council on foriegn affairs, the world council of churches( which Gorbechev is the head), They even shot Kennedy. It's very interesting.

Anyway, I don't know, maybe this might be a fashion trend. CdS will all be wearing veils for the fall fashion year.

In the UK the state of alert is not quite as high as that which I experienced in my only visit to the USA last Christmas and New Year. I'm afraid I found the American authorities and mainstream media verging on paranoia when security was involved. This may be understandable in view of 9/11, but is distinctly unhealthy in my opinion. All we wish to do is dress as members of the opposite sex, but it appears that anything viewed as " abnormal " is seen as a severe threat. There are signs in the UK that our government is following a similar road. I hope for all our sakes that our governments both realise that being different is not synonymous with being dangerous to our democracies.

Was just wondering how the US security forces look out for crossdressers in Iraq or Afghanistan etc?
