‘Ring of steel’: NATO summit turns Welsh cities into massive open-air prisonshttp://rt.com/uk/183348-nato-summit-fence-lockdown/A “ring of steel” likened to a prison or the Berlin Wall has been erected around the NATO Summit venues in Newport and Cardiff city center ahead of the military alliance’s conference next week.
Ten miles of nine-foot high security fencing has been set up to protect world leaders attending the September 4-5 conference amid fears issued by former foreign office minister Kim Howells of a possible attack by Islamic extremists.
Some reader comments hit the nail on the head:

What are they frightened of ?, ISIS ?, Al Qaeda ?, the IRA ?, Russian or Chinese spies maybe ?.
NO, they`re frightened of the British public, we know America is using NATO to start another war, and we won`t have it !!!!!.

Isn't this shameful! If they haven't done anything wrong and they've done their homework why so frightened?

. . . this is insane! NATO has a headquarters in Brussels . . . why can't the meeting be held there? what is the point of an HQ if you don't use it . . . they would never consider holding a meeting of the General Assembly of the UN any where else than the UN in New York . . . (actually they did once, in Central Methodist Hall in London . . . but that was before they had their own building!!

Well as they are most likely discussing the next false flag operation, which they are hoping will kick start world war 3, they need such security. Can't let that info get out now can they?
