Yeah, the false-flag fear has worked over there.
"Britons Thought Earthquake Was Al-Qaeda Attack; Some residents feared terrorists had launched deadly assault on council estate in nondescript northern town of Hull"

A minor earthquake that hit Britain last night, causing little damage and just a handful of injuries, provoked hysterical people across the country to fear that Al-Qaeda terrorists had launched an attack on their houses.
During an interview with a BBC News crew, one eyewitness shared his initial fear - that the earthquake was a terrorist attack. Watch the clip. Similar sentiments were expressed in other reports following the tremor.
Since earthquakes and even rarer geological events such as lightning strikes kill an infinite number more westerners than terrorists do, why on earth would anyone mistake a minor earthquake for an Al-Qaeda attack?
Why would terrorists be interested in attacking a council estate in the nondescript northern town of Hull?They wouldn't of course, but the fact that these poor individuals have been brainwashed 24/7 with the inevitability of terrorist attacks betrays why they thought an earth tremor was in fact a deadly Al-Qaeda assault on their row of terraced houses.
Such hysteria is an opportune moment to re-highlight the fact that, despite the constant drumbeat of bellicose propaganda, peanut allergies, accident causing deer and swimming pools all kill more westerners per year than terrorist attacks.
As Ohio State University's John Mueller concludes in a report entitled A False Sense Of Insecurity, "For all the attention it evokes, terrorism actually causes rather little damage and the likelihood that any individual will become a victim in most places is microscopic."
For example, to equal the danger that Americans place themselves in every day by driving their car down the highway, there would have to be a September 11 every month. To reach the same level of risk that one undertakes in boarding an airline, you only have to travel eleven miles in a car.The principle goal of terrorists is to terrify populations and governments into acquiescing to their political demands. The only way they can achieve this is by generating a substantial amount of fear and making people believe the lie that their life is significantly threatened by potential terrorism, when in reality the swimming pool in their backyard poses more of a danger.
Fortunately for the terrorists, they can rely on the governments of Britain and America to run their PR campaign and terrorize the population to the point where they think a picture falling off the wall heralds the apocalypse.Printed from: http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/february2008/022708_britons_thought.htm"
