Where did you see the last sentence? It would relieve my anxiety to read the actual context of that statement.and form for myself an opinion of its truth.

There are more but these two should get you started.
I found both articles interesting, thanks for supplying the links. What I read is that it's a bit of he said/she said. Ridge says it's true, others say it's nonsense used to sell his book.

He was the HEAD of Homeland Security. Why would he lie about it? Just curious - he was part of the problem and he admitted to it.

Like how their tagline is,
"Getting the information the government doesn't want you to know."

Huh?

-) Once you download the App, they have YOUR information.
Who are these people?

-) Once you do a $4.99 upgrade, they have your money.
How is this $$ being used?

-) If this information is so secret, don't you think everyone in the entire World will have access to this same information?

Again, who are these people?
How do you know you're not supporting someone by downloading this innocuous App on iTunes?

Most likely it's still available to google, the information has been out there for quite some time.

You might remember that EVERY TIME there was a crisis in the admin, the alert code went up. It was pointed out when it happened, a handy little distraction.

Of course the gov't can't keep us safe from everything. That's nothing new.

1995, Tim McVeigh.

Israel has the most protection in the world, they can't keep everyone safe, either.

Funny, because the same people who have complained over time that gov't is too big, intrudes on their life, now want it to be a babysittier. It can't be done.

That is reality.

I don't know that he is lying about it. But being head of homeland security I wonder why he would go along with it. I also wonder why it took him so long to speak up about what he claims is the truth.

To my knowledge, no one has denied it.

Keep in mind, most people figured out the "coincidence" as it happened, over and over again. It was so dang obvious at the time. The only question is, why did so many people fall for it? There was never any evidence of a reason to raise the alert.

Thank you for your reply, Noel. I don't know who's lying...the man who says it's true or the ones who say it's not. I'm confused about the sentence I bolded because I read the articles Marp supplied and it was denied. I don't know the answer, I'm just commenting on what I read.

Did you read their bios? They all claim they formerly worked for our government as secret analyst or CIA agents but I did not recognize any of the "agencies" they worked for. Very suspect group IMO. I'd avoid this app like the plague. I'm with sidsmom on this one - and I am not usually a suspicious person.

Tom Ridge stated this - he was the head of Homeland Security and wrote a book on it - said it right in there

http://crooksandliars.com/john-amato/tom-ridge-admits-terror-alerts-were-use

The book is “The Test of Our Times: America Under Siege…and How We Can Be Safe Again

You can read his book. Plus there are numerous accounts in newspapers from the 2004 cycle about this. Notice when that system was never really used again after the election was over

Thank you so much for responding. I will check the info out.
