Any bets on a TERRORIST incident in the next few days?
Edited on Thu Apr-06-06 05:28 PM by Vinnie From Indy
I could be wrong, but I would expect something major to happen to distract and scare America in a short while. It could be terrorism related incident or a strike on Iran. Jeffrey Toobin was on Lou Dobbs and let slip BushCo's INITIAL (it may change) strategy on today's revelation. He said that because the Dems are not in power, BushCo is not afraid of a Congressional inquiry. He also stated that because Libby's trial isn't until 1/07 BushCo plans a "no comment" stonewall posture until after the mid term elections. With the aid of the cable news harlots and other media accomplices, unfortunately, it may succeed.

Don't forget that Libby's testimony was NOT unknown to BushCo. They have had many weeks to prepare for this day. It seems obvious that BushCo will once again direct corporate media to move on to the next bit of fear, distraction or fluff by next week. Do not be surprised at all of something major happens very shortly to instill fear and distract from this widening scandal. They have had time to prepare for Libby's testimony being made public and they probably know each and every step being taken by Fitz with their illegal wiretapping.

4. Brit Hume
We are half way through the Brit Hume 'News' Hour (there's a misnomer for you) and this has barely been mentioned. Led with McKinney.

5. The reaction will be more anger than fear from Americans.
Why aren't we safe yet? Are they really that incompetent in the White House or just that sinister? People are still waiting for a place to live from Katrina. It's going to be a hot summer.

6. Too late
BushCo's plans to turn the USA into a military state have failed. They are going down and no one wants to be on board a sinking ship. It's time to bail and take cover for anyone whose had anything to do with this. They've got their Swiss bank accounts and their bunkers. They think they can hide and get away with what they've done, but their just fooling themselves. Justice will be done.

7. My question is "will it work?"
For years we have been connecting the dots for our friends and relatives. Recently, more and more of them are willing to admit it no longer feels like a tinfoil hat theory to them. When presented with a new terror threat to distract from a pretty powerful revelation about our "leader" how many people will buy the threat this time?

8.  They are cornered animals at this point.
I have no idea, and don't even want to speculate on what they may try to distract the populace.. The one thing that bothers me most is that no one really has any idea to just how far they will go.. They have gone to great links to grab massive amounts of power, and they have a lot on the line, I don't see them just giving it up..

9. Conjecture. More important, you or I could be ran over by a bus tomorrow.
Or, worse than that, a steamroller in heat.

for the 37th time.

15. BUY a couple of Maple Leaf or Double Eagle bullion coins. Sell in 4 wks.
or when they rise to $660.00, 10% profit.

16. "Straight of Hormuz" (="Gulf of Tonkin II") and/or a local incident?
I have the bad feeling Bushler is about to wag the dog, and Iran is at Ground Zero. :hide:

17. I would suspect an act of "terrorism" on our soil.
In the next week or two. What better way to get the barking dogs at bay, and cause us to forget about everything else.

But, of course, I pray I'm wrong. So, why do I have this feeling of gloom enveloping me?

19. They'll probably just release the "Bird Flu" plague they've been selling..
for the past year. The only thing that might save them from the gallows now is the massacre of billions of people. I doubt they'd have a problem with that. Anything to make a buck.
