The State Department is extending the closure of some embassies and consulates “out of an abundance of caution.” The department is also closing a few additional posts.
In a statement released Sunday, the department said the closures are not “an indication of a new threat stream.”
Twenty-two U.S. embassies and consulates were closed Sunday amid fears of an al Qaeda attack.

A journey to the center of the earth in Sharon Springs, Kansas, as a massive sinkhole opens up
People are flocking to Wallace County Kansas, just to see if the images are true.. could it be, a massive sinkhole suddenly opening up?The town of Sharon Springs, Kansas, is very remote. The population is under 800, it has one library, and its public school system has under 500 kids *both high school and grade school*.. But it’s now a tourist attraction due to a 200 feet across and 90 feet deep sinkhole that opened in the ground.. According to reports from Sharon Springs, the sinkhole seemed to open overnight.. Suddenly and quickly.. The rapid vanishing act taking place on the once secure land..Eyewitness News 12 from Kansas is the local report network on the scene.. they filed a report today from Wallace County.. And with it are included stunning images of the sinkhole.According to comments from town Sheriff Larry Townsend, the hole continues to get bigger..The sinkhole seems to be swallowing an entire pasture. According to reports, no digging, or irrigation, or natural gas fracking has taken place around the area where the earth left..There are fears tonight that cracks are spreading from the sinkhole and that cracks in the ground may open up to form more areas of disaster..Absolutely amazing video of the sinkhole here, including images of people being “brave” enough to hike to the bottom..[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AYl85tLTHs] -
A blurry screen shot of an email purportedly being from FEMA ends up on Intelhub.. rumors of disaster spreads from it
You can take it for what it is.. but tonight a story is making the rounds online. According to a report appearing on the website INTELHUB.COM, the owner of MyPatriotSupply.com was contacted by someone from FEMA asking some interesting questions about how much food his company can provide, and how fast they can do it..The screen shot here:
As for Patriot Supply?But here we are, August 2013 and FEMA once again is trying to buy up large stockpiles of food. And they don’t want anyone to know it, and they want to take immediately delivery.Friends…I’ve studied history. That is what got me into preparedness in the first place. History has shown us time after time that those who depend on the government to come to their aid during a disaster are the ones waiting the longest for help. Sometimes help never comes…or comes too late.The assumption being made by Intelhub and the food supply company is that something is ready to blow, war is likely to break out, and all hell is likely to assume its normal position on the planet..In hindsight: In 2011, FEMA ordered $1 billion in dehydrated foods due to an increase in terror threats.. so this contact may not be as ‘urgent’ as unheard of as is being said.With all this talk of impending doom, perhaps cooler heads should prevail. Think of the logic.. would FEMA really urgently contact a food supply company that actively advertises on talk radio shows such as Alex Jones and the John Moore? Perhaps this FEMA inquiry is just a normal part of daily business?And it’s hurricane season–could this be a normal typical preparation for a big storm like what happened with Superstorm Sandy?? yes.. and probably so..Debate on this topic is ensuing here on DCJUNKIES.. and some interesting conversation is taking place within the body of the posts..As usual, the only thing to fear is fear itself–and fear online is easy to spread..The HORROR REPORT says: Think logically about this before alarming people that the end is nigh..
