POPE FRANCIS NYC VISIT -- Mass Surveillance, Thousands of Officers, Radiation Detectors & more

Pope Francis is coming. POPE FRANCIS IS COMING! The Holy Father will be in New York City next week for a short 40-hour trip. But those 40 hours will be a security puzzle and a logistical mess—if we're lucky. The NYPD released the streets that will be closed, and adds, "The use of public transportation for the duration of the visit is highly encouraged." No kidding, look at what's happening, from visiting St. Patrick's Cathedral and a Catholic school in East Harlem to his Central Park procession and mass at Madison Square Garden. He's also "going to 9/11," as the tourists say

Madison Ave The following streets in the vicinity of the United Nations will continued to be closed for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) It wasn’t yet noon, but police and federal agents already were chasing reports of two active shooters, a power outage and a building collapse. Within the hour, there would be two bomb blasts and a not-so-funny joke that an asteroid was headed straight for Manhattan. None of this was real, but as New York prepares to play host to quite literally the world, from Pope Francis to 170 heads of state to Beyonce, security officials are bracing for everything.

Topping it off, on Sept. 26, the day the pontiff leaves New York for Philadelphia, Beyonce will perform at a free concert in Central Park, along with Coldplay, Pearl Jam and other acts expected to draw tens of thousands of people.

Among the 23 items prohibited from papal events are selfie sticks, toy guns, balloons, bicycles, and animals other than service pets. Pilgrims better pray for good weather, because umbrellas are also on the list. Drones and radio-controlled model airplanes are banned from operating anywhere over New York City from Sept. 24 through Sept. 30. Roughly three months, or 500 days from when The French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius and John Kerry made a vague announcement, it will be September 23, 2015. A former adviser to Gordon Brown has urged people to stock up on canned goods and bottled water as stock markets around the world slide. “Advice on the looming crash, No.1: get hard cash in a safe place now; don’t assume banks & cashpoints will be open, or bank cards will work,” he tweeted. -“The Mystery Of September 23: Why Does 9/23 Keep Popping Up All Over the Place?”
