MO - Kansas City to lose millions in terrorism grants
Kansas City’s emergency responders hit the alarm Friday after learning the federal government dropped the region from a multimillion-dollar terrorism preparedness program.
The Department of Homeland Security is eliminating Kansas City and more than two dozen other cities from this year’s Urban Areas Security Initiative grant program. The decision is expected to cost the region more than $7 million, money that would have been used to prepare for terrorist attacks or natural disasters.
“This is something that’s going to make us less capable in the future,” Kansas City Fire Chief Smokey Dyer said. “If Kansas City gets hit by an F5 tornado 10 years from now, do I think our citizens will be less safe than today? My answer is yes.”
The Kansas City region has received almost $72 million in such funds since the program started in 2003 as a response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
The money — set aside by Congress to protect major cities thought to be most vulnerable to terrorism — has bought hazmat suits, bomb squad gear, radiation detectors, even rescue boats and communications equipment, as well as paid for training exercises across parts of the nine-county region.

This Homeland Security crap has gone too far. The government knows Whitey did 9-11, blew out the DH well in the GOM, derivative fraud, hedge fund fraud,etc. but key government officials prefer to suck on Israel and English hedgefund back-door outlets for U.S. investor and U.S. tax payer sourced cash bribes. There is no middle east terrorism threat. Israel was caught having Mossad agents packing explosives around Manhattan (at least one truck detonated)on 9-11-2001. America needs to cowboy up and turn off the TV which is being used to brainwash any who will listen. The Supreme Court recently decided news networks have NO, I repeat, NO legal obligation to tell the truth during newscasts, even over public airwaves. Even NPR, since control was acomplished by the Rockefellers, spiels out lying crap all day and all night. Do your homework and get your country back. Throw the swine in prison before they get you.

I'm guessing a kickback aggreement couldn't be reached as to how much $$$ would go back to the DC criminals that stole the money from the taxpayer in the first place.
