Hi All I just called the Telegraph about the Blackjack Nuke scenario story they posted on their website.

THEY FREAKED OUT!!!!

No one wanted to talk about it and then after speaking to four different people the last guy got snotty and hung up the phone.

There is something behind this, they never even tried to play it down, just got aggressive with me.

Regardless of their motive, I believe it is a disgusting and irresponsible publication from a mainstream newspaper.

Watching that slideshow pointed me to the home-office website, where they show the 'current threat level' of a terrorist attack.

It's currently at 'severe', which they state means 'an attack is highly likely'.

I'm willing to bet that it's been at severe ever since that page was launched

scare-mongering bastards.

Isn't there a media watchdog to report this to?

Could this not come under "irresponsible reporting"?

Fact is; Operation Blackjack does exist, but its a "game" which is NOT based in the UK and does NOT include a nuclear weapon strike by terrorists.

From Operation Blackjack's own website, it is;

Quote:

OPERATION BLACKJACK

May 23rd-25th, Memorial Day Weekend 2008
Camp Blanding, MOUT Facility Starke, FL USA

During the early hours of the morning, rebel elements within the Mexican Armed forces seize control of the government district of Mexico City. As dawn broke, tanks patrolled the streets and armed soldiers ordered all citizens to remain indoors. The Mexican President is executed on the very steps of his office by members of the paramilitary Los Zetas organization. Rumors persist of foreign mercenary units supporting the rebel forces and of even darker hints of this being the opening gambit of a much larger campaign.

Enjoy battling through an exceptional MOUT facility and hundreds of acres of woodlands with players from across the United States and United Kingdom in this fantastic weekend event.

Doesn't sound like a nuclear attack in central London to me

Fearmongering. Irresponsible. Disinformation. Programming. Mind Control.
Hidden in plain sight.
