## About this episode

President Barack Obama extended the national emergency declared on September 14, 2001, for another year, ensuring the continued suspension of habeas corpus for National Guard members. This move coincides with a CIA-developed warning of a specific but unconfirmed car bomb threat targeting New York City and Washington D.C. for the tenth anniversary of the 9-11 attacks. DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano and TSA Viper Teams have responded by increasing visibility at Bay Area BART stations and landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced the launch of the Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications to infiltrate global digital forums and rebut extremist messaging. Meanwhile, Virginia resident Jubair Ahmad faces charges for providing material support to Lashkar-e-Taiba after uploading jihadi imagery to YouTube. In Europe, massive protests erupted in Greece over a 10-point VAT increase, while Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi introduced a solidarity tax on high earners. Domestically, a massive power outage affecting 1.4 million customers in Southern California and Arizona is being scrutinized as a potential smart-grid prepping exercise rather than a simple transmission failure.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney recently defended his 9-11 shoot-down orders during a book tour, fueling theories that Flight 93 was intercepted over Pennsylvania. Presidential advisor Valerie Jarrett stumbled through an interview with Rachel Maddow, appearing to mention pot money while demanding Congress pass a jobs bill that had not yet been drafted. In a lighter moment, a viral story about lab chimpanzees being released was revealed as a Disney Nature PR stunt for the film Chimpanzee.
