New York Daily News – by GLENN BLAIN , ANNIE KARNI
Although saying there is “no specific threat” of a terror attack, Gov. Cuomo announced on Friday that he is calling up hundreds of National Guard troops and other personnel to beef up security in New York.
Summoning reporters and legislative leaders to his midtown office, Cuomo said a comprehensive new security plan will be implemented to cover airports, transit hubs and large gathering points across the region.
He declined to give specifics of the plan until he formally unveils it with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie next week.
Cuomo, who is running for re-election, said “it is undeniable that New York is a possible target of terrorist activity,” either “in retaliation… or as an offensive gesture.”
However, he acknowledged that, “We have no specific threat” of terrorists plotting an attack.
“This is just a general precaution given the obvious situation and obvious facts,” Cuomo told reporters, after discussing the situation with legislative leaders.
It was Cuomo’s second media briefing on security issues in five days, activity that comes as he is ramping up his general election campaign against Republican Rob Astorino. The ability to command media attention through official duties is an advantage that incumbents almost always have over challengers.
STAN HONDA/AFP/GETTY IMAGESEven though there was ‘no specific threat,’ Cuomo says National Guard troops will be part of new security plan to protect New York.Cuomo, Christie and Mayor de Blasio met earlier this week with U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson. The group pledged to step up preparedness and security amid fears that ISIS and other extremist groups would launch terror attacks in the area in response to President Obama authorizing a military campaign against the group.
“There will be hundreds of people, additional people, deployed across the system,” Cuomo said Friday. “There will be National Guard who will be called up.”
The Port Authority and MTA have already begun to step up police presence at airports and transist facilities, Cuomo said.
Cuomo said the short-term costs of the plan will be in the “tens of millions of dollars” and will be paid for in next year’s budget.
“This state and this metropolitan area will never have been as well protected as it will be when this plan is in operation,” Cuomo said.
UNFRIGGINBELIEVABLE!!!!
The National Guard is NOT his personal body guard nor his personal army!!
The National Guard only responds to States of Emergency and specific threats to the state. If there are no specific threats or emergencies, these troops are not allowed to be there and if anything, they should arrest that little piece of trash and tie a rope around his neck.
This is TREASON TREASON TREASON!!!
Hang the SOB!!! 😡
Why the hell aren’t these troops doing their duty, dammit!!!
Naybe this is the reason for the call out Video from CNN

CNN can kiss my ass!! They can’t even run their own manufactured scene without screwing it up. They’re about as dumb as Barry without a teleprompter.
“Although saying there is “no specific threat” of a terror attack, Gov. Cuomo announced on Friday that he is calling up hundreds of National Guard troops and other personnel to beef up security in New York.”
Get ready for another ‘shelter in place’ event, New York.
Wonder what ‘excuse’ they’ll us this time.
Maybe they found some ‘yellow cake uranium’.
It was actually lemon meringue pie. But they called the bomb squad just to be safe.
“Even though there was ‘no specific threat,’ Cuomo says National Guard troops will be part of new security plan to protect New York.”
So you’re telling me the NYPD stop and frisk, warrantless searches are not enough? 😯
My Fellow Americans:
This picture of Cuomo,.. is EXACTLY what a hard-Core Commie looks like,… its EXACTLY what Tyranny looks like,… is EXACTLY what a pyschopath looks like.
Any questions?
No?,….. good.
Cuomo is an ENEMY TERRORIST,.. right here in the USA.
JD – US Marines – So,.. Cuomo has now instituted Martial Law – Phase 1. When do we say enough?
.
When I saw this story the other day, my first thought was “Police State/Martial Law.”
Agreed. “When do we say enough?”
I remember sending a link to the Trenches about this story (different version). In the “Subject” line, I titled it “Police State.” That pretty much says it all about how I feel about it. 😉
