Bush/Cheney promoting extreme fear, to set up a terrorist attack before

[Zinfandel]

the elections. The writing is on the wall...It is very obvious, 9-11 saved BushCo's ass and the presidency, and gave the neocons unequaled power. Bush is sinking rapidly and has nothing to stand on, except lies, about Iraq and Al Qaeda connections and to promote fear, get people ready for the strike, and NO ONE will question it being bought on by terrorist "who hate our freedom" bullshit (just like no one has about 9-11)...They will then be in firm and complete control. They have nothing to lose, a terrorist attack is the only thing that will save Bush's sinking ship. Very chilling...

I realize this is NOT a "feel good" type story for most DUers, like the success of F-9/11 (which I'm ecstatic about). However, a very likely reality...Dispute it if you can. (I would loved to be convinced they wouldn't do it).

"The organizers of the attacks would in reality be substantially
the same secret command cell in the United States which set up the 9-11 events and its associated networks, which have been able to continue in operation because of the abject failure of all 9-11 investigations to date to identify them....

Their goal is now to establish a neocon fascist dictatorship in the United States, complete with martial law, special tribunals, press and media censorship, and the full pervasive apparatus of the modern police state.

In short, a coup d'etat is being prepared in the United States – not a coup against the existing government, but rather for the purpose of
disciplining and dragooning the entire political process for escalated foreign aggression, with the homeland secured by emergency rule. It goes without saying that those associated with such a coup are felons, war criminals, and traitors to their country.

The leading edge of the propaganda campaign designed to establish the
credibility of the coming ABC (atomic, bacteriological, chemical)
terror wave is the May 26 press conference of Attorney General Ashcroft and FBI Director Robert Mueller to announce the coming summer "perfect storm" of terrorism. According to advance wire service reports, "U.S. officials have obtained new intelligence deemed highly credible indicating al-Qaeda or other terrorists are in the United States and preparing to launch a major attack this summer….(AP, 25 May 2004)

Vice President Cheney has been predicting imminent terrorist attacks on the US in many of his speeches since no later than May 20, 2002. On that Sunday, Cheney went on Fox News Sunday to announce that "In my opinion, the prospects of a future attack against the United States are almost certain." For Cheney, the question of a new terrorist assault on the US is "not a matter of if, but when."

1. Limbaugh said a couple months ago that

"when" another attack happens in October - voters would rally behind Bush. If it does we sure as hell better be asking what info he had.

[Zinfandel]

3. The neocons are indeed getting Americans ready, it almost seems inevitable

BushCo won't make the same mistakes the right-wing in Spain made, they've learned from it, and will have things in place for Bush to seem very much in control.

Who will question it, certainly not the corporate media..."We will need to stand behind our president, and be patriotic strong Americans and we will endure" shit, spewed at us 24/7.

These fascist will stop at nothing to retain power.

[Nobody]

10. Does this mean that Limbaugh is a terrorist?

If he has info about a future terrorist attack, he'd better bring it forward. Or doesn't the USA PATRIOT Act apply to him?

Inquiring minds want to know.

2. Please consider...

May let Kerry win then have surprise and declare martial law preventing Kerry from taking office.

Anyone know legalities of such?

4. There's no precedent

The country would basically be making it up as we go along at that point.

[Mnemosyne]

6. they've been doing it since before 11/00, why stop now?

[sable302]

11. good point

sadly

(on edit: I was browsing through the 'Atlas of Oregon' the other day. There was a section devoted to the was in which Oregonians voted in al the national elections since statehood. Even there, there was an "*" next to the 2000 election explaining how it was that Bush won with 47% of the electorate as compared to Gore's 48%. These past 4 years will be remembered for all time. Good history lesson for the kids about 100 years from now.)

5. Well..yes and no...

Yes, I think there will be a Sept/Oct attack...

Yes, it will either be a LIHOP (most likely) or a neocon black op (less likely)

No, it won't be out-and-out martial law. Remember, they live here too and I don't think they want a Central American style dictatorship. Not because they're not that evil, because they are, but rather because such a system restricts their freedom of movement too.

but

Yes, civil liberties will be steeply restricted.

[Mnemosyne]

7. Hey Junk! however, did the restrictions in nazi Germany

cause any true restrictions of the "elite" base?

I don't believe that it did.

If I'm wrong please correct, ok?

9. A long time ago, I knew the sons of a VERY wealthy family in...

Columbia and they told me what it was like to live in a country when your family was extremely rich and most everyone else was extremely poor. They likened it to house arrest and said there were only a few well-guarded places they could go without worrying about being kidnapped for ransom (an ordeal one of the brothers went through).

They loved it here in America and said that most of the wealthy from that part of the world spent as much time here as they could. This was in the late '70s. BTW - they were going to the University of Pittsburgh. My wife has similar stories re the Saudis at the University of Oklahoma.

[Mnemosyne]

12. Ah! I understand. Thanks!

[Junkdrawer]

14. Yep. Basically, there's two reasons "they" go through all the trouble...

to use sham voting machines to setup a sham democracy:

1.) "They" live here and want to live in a country with happy, contented servants.

2.) "They" need motivated, educated soldiers to man all the high-tech weaponry need to maintain "their" world dominion.

If "they" wanted a dictatorship, we would be living in one long before now.

[Zinfandel]

8. However, they would have all the power, privilege and no one to stop

their sick, greedy, military and corporate agenda. Shit, the hard core neocon right-wing (now in power, the same ones that go back before Iran-Contra) has dreamed about this kind of unchallenged power and imperialistic agenda for decades, this is really their chance...I don't see them letting it slip through their fingers.

Having absolute control of the most deadly military machine the world has ever know, is their wet dream. Grandiose dreams and motivation of world domination...And unlike the Roman Empire (or other Empires through out history) where the people of the Empire at least gained the fruits of the conquest.

We the American people will gain nothing, the corporations will be the only ones gaining and exploiting with full power. They do not care about us, they are not patriotic nationalist, their eye is on corporate world domination, and we will just be their workers without any rights or say. You think for instance: Oil will be cheaper for the American people simply because of American corporate world imperial dominnation?

13. our government has been totally compromised

and it all happened right under our numbed eyes. only a tiny percentage of americans are even politically aware. only a tiny percentage of them really understand the gravity of our plight.

as long as the illusion holds that these men are our 'leaders', i don't see any way out of the inevitable. they'll do whatever they damn well please, because NO ONE IS STOPPING THEM.
