No one should look forward to terrorism

About a month ago, Dennis Milligan, the chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party, sounded pretty excited about the prospect of domestic terrorism. Yesterday, Rick Santorum echoed a similar sentiment on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show.

Santorum went on to clearly imply that terror attacks will occur inside America which will alter the body politic and lead to a reversal of the anti-war sentiment now dominating the country.

“Between now and November, a lot of things are going to happen, and I believe that by this time next year, the American public’s going to have a very different view of this war, and it will be because, I think, of some unfortunate events, that like we’re seeing unfold in the UK. But I think the American public’s going to have a very different view,” said the former senator from Pennsylvania.

Does this make any sense at all? Not so much.

Holy shit! The republicans are going to start killing Americans just to get their way!

Funny, considering how often they use "there hasn't been an attack on US soil since 9/11" as some kind of tortured reasoning that Bush is a good president. So now they're arguing that if there IS an attack... Bush is a good president?

This is why Santorum is no longer in office. If and when we get attacked maybe we can bring him in for questioning.

Start?! Whadaya mean "start"?!

Sanitarium always says the clumsiest, stupidest things. And he says them in way that makes them sound even clumsier and stupider.

Sounds like some of the Republican pundits are planing their own terrorist attack.

I guess if Al Qaeda doesnt try an attack, Maybe one of these guys will

That was my first thought of this last London attack..... a CIA operative giving the new prime minister a heads up on what might happen if he doesnt step in line behind Bush like Blair did.

this kind of rhetoric is appaling. If he has knowlegde of a hightened terrorist threat, why doesn't he say so? Instead in talks about "some unfortunate event"? Give me a break...

"Summer Spectacular"

I agree. What do you mean start.

So....what are the Vegas odds on this anyway?

This is the dark little secret that power players and their lackeys (Republican Neo-Cons) wish to happen. Domestic terrorism will keep that money flowing the ways they want, mainly into their pockets. They're insulated enough not to be directly affected by domestic terrorism.

Remember when they were accusing the dems of wanting the war to go bad so that Bush would look bad and then the dems would win? Well this just proves that Santorum and company were truly projecting in the true sense of the psychology term.

Jesus, there is BREAKING NEWS that Al Qaeda (nudge nudge wink wink) has regained it's pre Nine Eleven strength! WHAT?!? Uhh, I thought we smoked them out of there holes. The news is just starting to roll by. Last week Chertoff was saying there was no evidence of a likely terrorist attack? Now he has a gut feeling. There was a 'news' story about the US calling off a strike in Pakistan against Zawahiri and Bin Laden because they didn't want to destablize Pakistan! WTF? happened to WMD's hunt for Nine Eleven CONSPIRATOR UBL?
What is going on? What happened to us? What is going on? What happened to us? I am in Bizzaro World!

Non Violent Revolution IS NOT Terrorism!

And how did that scenario that you are laying out, work for Tony Blair, Mr. Santorum!. It has already played out that way in England, and yet Tony Blair and his Party have lost major ground in their Country. The people are not as stupid as you take them to be, Mr. Santorum. They were smart enough to vote an Idiot, such as you, out of office.

...

If they decide to strike Democrats (use your imagination), at least these spineless cowards will get their acts together and finally start thinking about impeachment. Or maybe some family members will get caught in the crossfire? Are they "the enablers" of their own demise? Oh Irony, I hope that the Republicans think of some irony if they go ahead with this one so anyone who has voted for the Democrats will have at least a small bit of satisfaction. The Enablers are worse than the Perpetrators. Always.

Rick Santorum, you ignorant prick. $758,000,000,000 U.S. taxpayers' dollars spent to combat the war on terror and Bin Laden's army is back at pre-2001 strength. Gee, maybe the voters will stick with the Republicans after we're attacked again. Then we can double the amount of cash spent, because after all $758,000,000,000 wasn't enough. I'm so glad we booted your ass out of the Senate.

Face it. The republican party is desperate beyond anything ever in the history of the that body of corporate crooks. They will do ANYTHING to preserve and protect their fat bank accounts.

Including kill Americans.

It's amazing how appalled people are of all the 9/11 conspiracies concerning the US government, yet now one is actually stating attacks are going to occur. Hmm....no conspiracy there, but when/if something happens, does it not make one come to the conclusion that the government has a hand in it somehow? Wouldn't be the first time.

It appears that they know something we only speculate. That they know an attack is on the way because they will allow it to happen again. Pretty sorry legacy Mr. Bush is leaving himself. At least one major attack on U.S. soil on his watch. Another perhaps in the making. They sure seem to be talking alot about this but yet say that there is no credible evidence. Funny, funny weird, that when there is credible evidence (Aug. 2001 PDB, "Bin Laden determined to attack inside the United States") they pay no attention and let it happen. When there is NO credible evidence they really play it up. Guess the chimp in chief and the prince of darkness are getting ready to implement their new law that gives the chimp ultimate power in the event of a national emergency. He can bypass the courts and the congress (like he doesn't already do that) and will cancel the elections and be president for life. Sounds pretty far out but with these guys who knows. It wouldn't surprise me. I say it's time we had a revolution. We need a coup in this country.

People, people . . . al Qaeda wants to keep the Repugs in power, because he wants a crusade to rally even more angry young Muslims against the West. Chertoff knows that, and that the best way for al Qaeda to get its way is to help keep the Repugs in power -- by attacking us again. All Chertoff is doing is stating the obvious. And Santorum wants to keep the Repugs in power too, no matter the cost. Why is anyone acting surprised by any of this???

"Another terrorist attack, terrible as that would be, would not just reverse the war’s bad poll numbers, it would also help the President…. "
Wrong...It would show that he isn't protecting us...especially if there were alot of little ones in small towns

"But just any terrorist attack will not suffice. It’s going to take a really big one."
Wrong....How about rolling a tracker trailer over on a major highway to stop all traffic and having 10 trained terrorists walk backwards down the highway of blocked traffic shooting everyone...not hard to do.....

"And a failed terrorist attack would be even worse than a successful one as Jonah Goldberg pointed out in reaction to the latest bombings in Great Britain."
Wrong...Any random attack that would begin to show that attacks were coming here if in repetition would cause panic here in the US....

“Anyway, the irony is that from a policy standpoint, it seems to me that security officials have to view things like the failed London bombing as basically no different than a successful bombing,” he wrote on The Corner. “But because the bombing failed, the policy options to security officials are far narrower precisely because the bombing failed and therefore didn’t rouse the sort of political reaction it might otherwise have.” So if we are going to have a terrorist attack, let’s hope that it is a good one."
Great Logic...Need I say more?

martial law

suspend the constitution

Could have mixed results, besides potentially killing people, first off it would prove that "Bush" anti-terror programs were unable to protect us.

Salmineo @ 1:

Holy shit! The republicans are going to start killing Americans just to get their way!

Start?! Whadaya mean "start"?!

Yeah, since you brought it up, by August, 1999, dubya had executed two people every month as gubna of Texas (http://www.salon.com/news/feature/1999/08/07/death/index.html).

By mid-2000, he had put down 131 (http://www.commondreams.org/views/061700-102.htm).

By the time he left Texas (as gubna), he'd taken 152. At least 57 of those killed were executed based on reports that "could not be more cursory" and which were shown to him on the dates of execution by--guess who?--Alberto Gonzales (http://www.nybooks.com/articles/17670).

Then there's that whole "Iraq War" thing, etc. ...

Coming from a conservative like Santorum, that's not all that surprising.

Since the vast majority of domestic terrorism has been carried out by conservatives (McVey, et al), it would follow that a fellow conservative would know what their mindset is.

Commodum ex iniuria sua nemo habere debet - No person ought to have advantage from his own wrong

um,, just where is the threat coming from? i mean mikey jerkoff was hooked on a feeling yet the terror color didint rise?
Yanno folks,, and as a american living in germany, and have many friends in the UK,, we here are growing rather sick of the so called threats that the USA tosses out to the press , like some damn dog with a bone.

The UK lived for yrs with the war with the IRA RELIGION

Germany,, lived for how many yrs with the RAFF

Seems to us the USA ppl are going about ape shit over there over a ´´gut feeling´´?

see my blog for my complete commentary,, because enough really is enough already.

1. If Santorum has information about a pending attack and has not reported it to the authorities he is an accomplice.

2. If Santorum has reported information about a pending attack and is talking about it, he is potentially hindering an investigation.

3. If Santorum is making this up to raise the fear flag in order to distract from the catastrophe that is the Bush Presidency, he is a liar and a traitor.

4. No matter what, Santorum is full of it.

Has no one pointed out to these idiots that if we are attacked again it is because they have screwed up this country's defense, the military, our border defense and the ability of our intelligence communities to do their job?

Another terrorist attack will change people, but not in the way Santorum threatens. More than likely, another attack on our soil will point out the complete flaccidness of the Bush administration when it comes to keeping us safe.

Me personally, I look at Santorum and the rest of that sick, corrupt, evil, venal group os sociopaths and I think, "This is why the French invented the guillotine."

The report that al-Qaida has regained it's pre-9/11 strength if true should be used in the war crimes trial of Bush and Cheney.
They have obviously failed and should be dragged from their publicly funded mansions and tossed into jail pending their public trials.

"People, people . . . al Qaeda wants to keep the Repugs in power, because he wants a crusade to rally even more angry young Muslims against the West. Chertoff knows that, and that the best way for al Qaeda to get its way is to help keep the Repugs in power -- by attacking us again."
Wrong...al Qaeda wants to devide america, that is why they are not going to have the next terrorist attack until the democrats win the presidency in 08..then the true division will begin and america will fall.....

The People for a New American Century group (PNAC) decided in 1999 that America needed a new Pearl Harbor to move Americans to support their plan for a new world order. Then, the Supreme Court elects their candidate and eight months later, after actively ignoring warnings and forgetting to study the probability of such an attack, an attack happens. Afterwards, for 5 1/2 years, all that they can say is "9/11" in reply to the evidence of their lies that led up to war with two countries and the occupation of those two companies. Now that more than 70% of those poled believe that we have been misled, they say that there will be another Pearl Harbor ahead that will get Americans back to supporting their continued plan for a new world order.

They have been saying that anyone who questions their actions want the soldiers to die, while they are eagerly awaiting for more American civilians to die so that they can keep our soldiers dying in the neo-con led occupation of one country with major oil deposits and to have them start dying in another invasion of another major oil-holding country, Iran. Is there a limit to their willingness to trade American and Middle-Eastern blood for their oil profits?

Not to mention their earnings from war-profiteering. I'm just glad that Dick Cheney doesn't know how much stock he has in Halliburton and other such war-profiteering companies.

As was said during the Reagan terms, "Greed is not enough".

It makes sense if some people are desperate to hold on to power and need to strike fear into the masses. So expect the neo-cons to strike. Nothing more dangerous than a cornered animal.

What happened to the Repubs claiming: "We are the party that will protect you"? You seem to be losing it.

"The People for a New American Century group (PNAC) "
Wrong....
The Project for a New American Century

Is Santorum psychic, or is he in on the plan?

The recruitment for the forces that the administration has orchestrated is going well. They can't get recuits for our military forces but, the other recruitment plan is going swimmingly well.

http://myfightfordemocracy.blogspot.com/2007/07/new-declaration-of-indep...

Why do I smell a false flag operation in the works?

"Is Santorum psychic, or is he in on the plan?"

It's his "Gut Instinct" just like you know who...

It makes a lot of sense when you realize they are seriously talking about a black flag op against America. And don't go and forget that bush speech a few weeks ago when he specified that "August will be a bloody month"!! He didn't say where .....

as for as iam concernd.. mikey chertoff,, er jerkoff as i call him can suffer the same fate that chinas now dead FDA leader has.

Both have lied,, stolen and cheated to make it to the top and at what cost?
surely not thier sorry asses or thier family either. Both or rather One IS now out make profit and keep the ppl dummy down.

isint american more smarter then the town squire the cries fire??

as for china,,,,,well they own the fire and the department that fights it.

THANKS GWB
oh and joke going around here in ERUOPE,, ´´ cant somehow another magic bullet theory happen again´´?

the corporate elites are cashing out americans. they will operate internationally and recruit their new consumer society from all over the world. we were the tools they used to destroy socialist movements worldwide. now they need to destroy our government finances and break our military machine. they will be back with slave wage jobs and a privatized military.

You gonna be wearing the vest little Ricky?

Isnt Santorum latin for asshole?
A lexis-nexis search would provide an accumulation of recent statements pertaining to a percieved(?) terrorist threat to the U.S. Then you could attribute those forewarnings to probably the usual suspects. No, it wont be the butler.

With blogs like this they should be very careful what they say and what actually happens. I'm not a 9/11 conspirator believer but when you hear talk like this by more than one person on the right it gets you thinking. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Like momma use to say, don't go backing a coon into a corner. , but it still rings true today.

Its greek or latin for asshole yes.

Hmm,, NOW SPEAK ENGLISH PPL!!! the next time you see wittle ricky call em by his real name

´´yo asshole´´!

i mean,, you only doing what is right,,right?

Wow, what a surprise, the repugs are in trouble so they dust off an old classic as a pittiful attempt to scare the American public into compliance...and the worst part is that this crimial bunch would gladly attack us again just to hold on to their power. it's sickening but you wouldn't have so many repugs talking about us being hit again unless they were expecting it.

This is the truly frightening thing about these people. You know Rove is busting his fat ass thinking up "strategies" to keep the Cons in power.

It's interesting that the administration is saying they who shall not be named are back up to power. Doesn't that show the war and the spying hasn't worked?

I think if they pull anything, this time Americans will run them out on a rail.

BTW: anyone catch the story about the government refusing to let thousands of Americans leave the country? Supposedly they aren't up to the task of processing passports. Scary.

We all had better start being careful about posts as well. They announced yesterday they're spying on every possible activity in our lives.

Let's state the obvious. There is not a single terrorist in the US that would like to kill masses of people. If there was one, he or she would have acted long time ago, blowing a bus, an airplane, a train, whatever, given so many chances for a revenge after first invasion, second invasion, no terrorist crazies? What? A schoolshooting? A gang shooting? No terrorist shooting or blowing? Interesting. It's just against the human nature. Al-Qaida is a bunch of bullies who get arms from the western arms dealers, dress like idiots, they don't even look scary, don't even show faces, the media make them look evil, but the media need to sell something. Ain't it. They are a military men, not a terrorists per se like IRA. So NO, big NO, if not a single "Terrorist" in the US managed to blow a can in a supermarket, IT IS CERTAIN, 100% CERTAIN that people who we are supposed to fear, are simply not like that, not that evil after all. They hate mass murder just like anyone does, Hindu, Christian or Muslim, they are methodological and prefer to fight in the mountains of Afghanistan or Iraq, like soldiers, they train like soldiers to act and kill like soldiers, on battlefields, like MEN, not like cowards. If anything happens, it will be bread, if anything happens, it will be caused by paid lunatics or proxies. So remember, the terrorists are militants who wouldn't dare to kill masses, they think like human beings and act like ones.

Definitely sounds like a GOP/Rethug/neoCON PLAN.

:et's remember that as these things happen; 9-11 was not just Arabs.

i think he's just looking at it in the sense that as time goes by the probability of attacks increases and thus increases the probability of his scenario.

seeing how dumb and reactionary our main stream media is and what good of a job they've done at molding the public in their image. i would say that santorum is nor too far off.
of course bldg. 7 makes me think he might know something i don't (but the that's highly unlikely, nobody would trust an climber like santorum). it is sickening to see that he's such a climber that he betting on our countries demise so that he can take the throne somewhere.....sounds like the son of LUCIFER.

I hate to say, this sounds like the most logical explanation of this administration.

"Let's state the obvious. There is not a single terrorist in the US that would like to kill masses of people. If there was one, he or she would have acted long time ago, blowing a bus, an airplane, a train, whatever, given so many chances for a revenge after first invasion, second invasion, no terrorist crazies?"

Wrong..
The time span between the 1st attack on the WTC and the 2nd was...
8 years 7 months ans 14 days
1st attack 02/26/1993
2nd attack 09/11/01

Their timescale is different from ours....think thousands of years of survival....

On Saturday, Americans learned that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld in 2005 cancelled a major U.S. raid into Pakistan designed to decapitate much of Al Qaeda's senior leadership. Now, a new CIA assessment details the steep price the U.S. is paying for President Bush's failure to enforce his mantra of "no safe havens." U.S. intelligence analysts, the AP reports, have concluded Al Qaeda has "rebuilt its operating capability to a level not seen since just before the 2001 terrorist attacks."

For the disturbing details, see:
"CIA: Resurgent Al Qaeda Now at Pre-9/11 Capability."

No wait.. dontcha' see? There will be a terrorist attack this summer... But don't worry, Jack Bauer will be on the case....
See, conservatives believe in Jack Bauer, and that we need more like him. I've heard it over and over.

This country has a "FantasyLand" cancer.

"So remember, the terrorists are militants who wouldn't dare to kill masses, they think like human beings and act like ones."

Really?

This administration is being backed into a corner because congress is starting to investigate. I have no doubt that they would be willing to coordinate an attack and blame someone else so they could impose martial law. Also, when you look at how open our borders still are, you have to think it is done for a purpose, this definitely is NOT an administration that wants to keep the enemy out of our country. They have practically put out a welcome mat. Could be that these guys know of something that is in the works. Would it really surprise any of us?

meanwhile, it's incredibly sad that Lady Bird Johnson (she was worth 10 of him) has passed away and there's so much crap going on in the country hardly anyone has even noticed.

We like to refer to it as the "Freedom" guillotine here.

How precisely does Santorum think more terrorist attacks will swing the Iraq War in Bush's favor?

1) Everybody (except a few Fox News viewers) knows that Iraq wasn't behind 9/11.

2) Iraq is certainly not orchestrating attacks within the U.S. They're not even equipped to stop their own internal strife.

3) If they let a terrorist attack happen, it will be another Katrina-type example of how the administration is woefully prepared for what they know to be an probable eventuality.

4) It will be even further proof of how badly we need our military at home for DEFENSE, rather than for unilateral attacks on sovereign nations.

5) it will be further proof of how our actions in Iraq have helped instigate MORE terrorism, not protected us against it.

Oh, the list could go on. Suffice it to say, let's keep the old guillotine rusty but well-oiled.

if theres a terrorist attack people will blame bush for not making america safer

Ummm, the terrorists don't have to come here to attack us because they are having a field day over in Iraq attacking Americans there.

So let's get this straight. These are elected and appointed officials who "hope" we get attacked to prove their point. They want us dead?

Man, these people are psycho.

If there is an attack here we can blame it on the Republicans/conservatives because they are spending too much time over in Iraq instead of confronting domestic terrorism threats here just like they did when they ignored the threats before 9/11.

And I agree, they are doing their "fear mongoring" tactic again. An old neo-con trick.

And Sanborn has absolutely no credibility at all. He's history.

I tell you what, lets help these Republicans out. Let's dig them a big bunker, toss them all in there, lock the door and toss the key.

"This administration is being backed into a corner because congress is starting to investigate. I have no doubt that they would be willing to coordinate an attack and blame someone else so they could impose martial law."

Exactly....Don't be surprised that if an attack does happen,,bush will say,"Elections at this point would be too destabilizing in at a time right after a terrorist attack,,therefore we will be 'postponing' them until next year"

"Also, when you look at how open our borders still are, you have to think it is done for a purpose, this definitely is NOT an administration that wants to keep the enemy out of our country. They have practically put out a welcome mat."

Exactly again...the point of protecting the southern boarder as well as the rest of them,,,but especially the southern boarder is a term called "OTM"-- "Other Than Mexican" Google that and put it in your pipe and smoke it.....

Don't forget Chertoff's "gut feeling." I have a "gut feeling" about all these guys.

I have a gut feeling..we are going to invade iran at the end of the summer.....

BTW, shouldn't the CIA and FBI be asking Santorum a few questions right about now?

How do you know something is going to happen?

What do you know?

What have you heard?

How do you know between now and November?

Let's see your phone records.

"BTW, shouldn't the CIA and FBI be asking Santorum a few questions right about now?"

Sorry,,"Executive Privilege"

Al CIAda is starting to seem more likely after all. What is the history of Al Queda anyway.
Things are starting to get strange though. I'll agree with that.

This is Santorum's childish, dead-fetus cuddling way of saying to America, "You'll be sorry you bastards laughed at me and those doushbags in Pennsylvania didn't re-elect me! It's just like when Adolf Hitler took a shit in Paris, blah, blah, blah, blah..."

I think this is where bush's brain is......

District Attorney Rothko: You're lucky I'm not indicting you for assault with intent to commit murder.
Harry Callahan: What?
District Attorney Rothko: Where the hell does it say that you've got a right to kick down doors, torture suspects, deny medical attention and legal counsel? Where have you been? Does Escobedo ring a bell? Miranda? I mean, you must have heard of the Fourth Amendment. What I'm saying is that man had rights.
Harry Callahan: Well, I'm all broken up over that man's rights!

Whole dirty harry quote by the way.....

Harry Callahan: "I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk? "

It makes sense if you realize that the Republican party is morally bankrupt and it's leadership devoid of any real integrity that the only thing that they can run on is fear.

I can't understand why anyone would agree this would be good for the Republicans. People have seen Katrina, they already have it in their heads that Homeland Security might not be as tight as Bush led us to believe. Another attack would rest directly on their shoulders. They ran on a ticket of "if the Democrats win, we'll have another attack". "We're fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here." Well, they won, and Bush has been so resolved not to allow the Democrats to affect the war strategy, he can't put ANYTHING on them.

If we get attacked again, people will no longer turn a blind eye to having their liberties taken and pockets drained. Most people's reasoning would be that if Bush isn't helping our security, then all the troops died in vain, all the money spent was a waste, and the administration did nothing to protect us. Let's not forget the Democrats were the ones trying to push the 9/11 committee's recommendations.

Rectum. Scrotum. Santorum is in good company. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

They use the tactic because it works. No one is challenging them or will challenge them, so they will keep going back to the same old, tired message.

How many people bought plastic sheets and put them up to protect against an NBC attack?

How many bought the Y2K survival kits?

Keep'em scared so they don't notice the pillaging and plundering of the country.

What's are vote worth now about 1/3?

I know you all remember what Pat Robertson said about what his god(the Bushcrimefamily) told him ...and with all the talk about how the repub party would get a boost if we were hit again...the Bush admin and the repub party are backed into a corner...9/11 happened and gave the Bush admin what they wanted...I think we will get attacked again because that is what the cons need...I wish I knew where because it is only a matter of time of when in will happen.

Wouldn't this eagerly anticipated attack simply prove that the Pugs are incompetent and not up to the challenge of keeping America safe?Sorry Ricky-I think we're thankfully past the point where conservatives can exploit a tragedy they them selves failed to stop.

So rickyticky resurfaces... Shit, I was hoping he had died. What a piece of garbage he is!

lean like a chola way up thick liner in my eye cruise all day drink all night, allah vedgah! Lady Joker Silent Smoker!

Operation Northwoods...

Created by our own government (and I believe dusted off in 2001).

Read about it. It's all you need to know about the mindset of the far right and what they and their fanatical following are willing to do to maintain power and advance their "cause."

Freakin Republicans are sounding like the terrorists.

Cmon! for the power-drooling rethugs, their wildest & wettest of dreams of absolute power without pesky democracy is just one more terrorist attack away!
After that, we'll all be so scared and we'll need them so much! we won't even question their misguided abortion ideas! we won't think or arguing about gay rights!
It's all so close the rethugs can just feel all the power!

Yeah, /snark & all.

Really, what can you expect from power-drunk dictatorship-wannabes?

=my2c

"Does this make any sense at all?"

It does when you know from where the "terrorism" really comes.

Wake Up, America!

While the U.S. government and media keep focusing on defense policies and the war in Iraq, 1.2 billion people in the world continue surviving on less than $1 dollar a day. I would like see congressmen and political leaders support more international dilemmas that affect our place in this world, such as global poverty. We should not forget the commitment made towards the U.N. Millennium Goals (a pact of ending extreme world hunger by the year 2025) in 2000. While the U.S. government and media keep focusing on defense policies and the war in Iraq, 1.2 billion people in the world continue surviving on less than $1 dollar a day. According to The Borgen Project, an annual $19 billion dollars is needed to eliminate half of the extreme poverty affecting the world by the year 2015. To my sense, it is almost unacceptable to have spent so far more than $340 billion in Iraq only, when we have more than war immunities to change the world and eliminate poverty.

Whistle! It's a MESS!

Why is anyone talking to Rick Santorum? He's a washed-up hole.

Chertoff, according to a guest on Hardball today, while talking about having a gut feeling of another terrorist attack happening this summer was also trying to rally citizens support for the Real ID or National ID card.

The puppet masters of the New World Order (Satanic cult) need to implement these ID cards embedded with RFID chips so that we will all become slaves. Eventually these cards will replace all money, in order to buy, sell, qualify for health insurance, social security benefits, everyone must have this card. It is the mark of the beast from Revelations.

One scenerio I can see happening by the summer of 2008 is another attack here in the USA by Middle East terrorists (CIA/FBI/Mossad connected) where we will be told by the our government that these terrorists had phony Mexican names and fake ID's and again the government with the help of the MSM will tell us that if we all had national ID cards, the attacks would never have happened.

Many American sheeple will agree and gladly accept these National ID cards out og the guise of national security and safety and then we will move one step closer to a one world government. Watch and see! 2008 is going to be a very interesting year.

No one should be so intellectually retarded to believe that they could get rid of terrorism entirely - or even win a war against it.

Terrorism is the violent extension of any extreme philosophy. So as along as people are able to have an idea in their head and have the ability to pick up a rock and bash someone's head in when they can't sell their idea, then there will always be a potential for terrorism.

Zenrage, you are right! The act of terrorism is a crime. By definition terror is to inflict fear on a people. Well not only have the terrorists done this but so has our own government. Fear is a very valuable tool, a way to control people and to take away their freedom.

Both Rick Santorum and Michael Chertoff within the last week have made comments about coming terrorist attacks. News today say's that Al Qaeda is just as strong today as it was pre 9/11.

The Bush administration has been telling us for the past two years that our military has severely damaged Al Qaeda's capabilities to strike at us again. Now suddenly that has changed.

We have also been repeatedly given the excuse that if we leave Iraq now that the terrorists will follow us home AND that us fighting the terrorists in Iraq keeps them from attacking us here. What, does the government think that Al Qaeda can only focus on one thing, like fighting us in Iraq?

The war has been a complete failure, it has costed us billions and billions of dollars, dollars we could have used to secure and rebuild our countries own infrastructure and the war has created more enemies and terrorists. Heck of a job Bush!

The worst thing about it all is that once an obvious false flag op is carried out, the MSM and their online admirers won't talk about it.

Post American @ 13:

Jesus, there is BREAKING NEWS that Al Qaeda (nudge nudge wink wink) has regained it's pre Nine Eleven strength! WHAT?!? Uhh, I thought we smoked them out of there holes. The news is just starting to roll by. Last week Chertoff was saying there was no evidence of a likely terrorist attack? Now he has a gut feeling. There was a 'news' story about the US calling off a strike in Pakistan against Zawahiri and Bin Laden because they didn't want to destablize Pakistan! WTF? happened to WMD's hunt for Nine Eleven CONSPIRATOR UBL?
What is going on? What happened to us? What is going on? What happened to us? I am in Bizzaro World!

regards

but, but, but, I thought we were fighting them "over there" so we don't have to fight them "over here." That's what the republican "good folks" on the teevee keep telling me.

To the contrary of Santorum's statement. There has already been one change to the body politics. Santorum should know this from the '06 election. Where it changed his sucking at the trough of government.

How the flying fuck would they know what Al-Qaeda's pre-9/11 strength was?

They did nothing to prevent 9/11.

They didn't listen to the Clinton Administration about Al-Qaeda.

They didn't listen to the Hart-Rudman Commission and completely ignored their recommendations (one of which was to set up a Dept. of Homeland Security).

Bush was on vacation the entire month before 9/11.

They didn't pay attention to the Briefing called "Bin Laden Determined to Strike."

They didn't even acknowledge there was an Al-Qaeda until after 9/11.

And then they were still ignoring Al-Qaeda, as they attempted to blame 9/11 on Saddam Hussein.

If Bush had any clue of Al-Qaeda's 9/11 strength, he wouldn't have been reading "My Pet Goat" when it happened.

By the way, what was that strength? Nothing. 19 guys armed with box cutters. That should have been tossed out of the country on visa violations.

Shit, with that kind of ineptitude at the helm, we'd probably ought to be scared shitless. Because any mentally unstable loser without a plan could pull off a terrorist attack.

Oh, that's right, he already did. At Virgina Tech.

"Holy shit! The republicans are going to start killing Americans just to get their way!"

CORRECTION --
The Republicans will CONTINUE to kill Americans to get their way.

Isn't it interesting about all the right-wing "hunches" going on right now,
about another "terrorist" attack headed to the US again?

I always put the word "terrorist" in quotes, because the masterminds are
living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Why, it's almost as if Republicans are planning a terrorist attack against America themselves. It wouldn't be the first time.

He comes right out and says it! President Cheney is going
to override Bush and Conde and allow another attack with
the help and exuberance of the late great Senator Sanitorium;)

Let us go to places few to dare.
Who ordered the anthrax letters?
Who killed those postal workers?
It can't be and I refuse to...

as bush is so fond of saying..."in other words"...we, the american people are so stupid that we will not hold the administration accountable for not protecting us and will ,against all logic, flock to support a war policy that had nothing to do with 9/11 and has in fact, as proven by quite a few government security studies, helped rebuild the terrorist organization that actually attacked us. i sure hope rickie santorum, my former senator and full time nit wit, is not loosing any sleep wondering why he is no longer a senator. the repubes can not possibly believe for a moment that another attack will benefit them politically. oh wait, thats right the koolaide rove mixes has that effect. un-f-ing believable how these guys can be so far removed from reality.
i'll make it simple for them....war against Al-Qaeda GOOD, war in Iraq FUBAR.

now this is getting fcking scarey. and will their "predictions" be given the much deserved publicity should an attack actually occur? when all the "tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists" come out of the woodwork citing that this was another "hitjob" by the US of Neocon," will these quotes go unnoticed and ignored?

Now we have Santorum, Jerkoff Chertoff, Dennis Milligan...i'm certyain i'm missing someone, but- when they warn us before an election, it's to remind us who to vote for. when they "warn" us out of the blue and with no evidence, we know who to be scared of...

[Deleted. 9/11conspiracy stuff here, and you know it-Sitemonitor]

HEY, everyone should get their TIVOS/VCR's ready starting in August.
Once this predicted attack happens, the first 24 hours of news footage
will expose the Black Ops/False Flag just like 911.
Get ready for round 2.

Well, looks as if the republicans are planning another attack on America!
These people need to be rounded up!!

Might want to start paying more attention to infowars.com
This kind of state sponsored terrorism against their own peoples has been going on for a long, long time.

By the way, this is a great example of how despots around the world need each other. Without their respective bogeyman, it would be much harder for each tyrant to run civil liberties into the ground in their respective countries. The war in Iraq has been everything Bin laden could have wanted. He could not have bought the kind of motivation, recruitment and training for his radicals himself. So at one and the same time, the despot creates the threat, then maintains the threat . You wonder why Bin Laden was never caught by Bush? They need each other.

So in Summary...

August 2001 PDB....nah...I'm gonna go clear sum brush, heh heh

"I'm truly not concerned about him" - GWBush on Bin Laden

"We..uh...spend parts of everyday lookin for uh...Osama Bin Laden" - GWBush with a confused former CIA head Porter "I'm not qualified to work at the CIA today" Goss

"There's no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved in the September the 11th" - GWBush

"Iraq is the central war on terror" - GWBush

"No it isn't you moron" - Pentagon, NIE, CIA, FBI, InterPol, any brain that can process information

"If we leave Iraq, they'll follow us home" - GWBush

"We'll be fighting them in our grocery stores" - some Republican moron rep

"I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [Sept. 11, 2001]" - head of the Arkansas GOP

"'gut feeling' that there will be terrorist attacks inside the United States in the coming months." - Micheal 'Skeletor' Chertoff, head of the 'Homeland Security'

YEP...VOTE REPUBLICAN...THEY WANT MORE TERRORISM!!

They're excited, because they know it's their people planning the attacks.

It's not going to work a second time.

As an outside (non-US) observer, I am constantly amazed at how US voters continually elect the most feeble-brained members of the population, with Santorum being the living, breathing definition of 'dumb-struck'. The fact he was dumped by the electorate so soundly was extremely heartening, showing that at least some of you are still awake.

Be that as it may, Santorum continues to be a witless Bush toady still ludicrously called upon to give his inane opinions. Dumb as he is, his comments are truly chilling. The GOP has only one chance to maintain power and keep all of Cheney's secrets from coming to light and that's through full war powers and martial law resulting from an 'unforseen' attack on 'the Homeland (can't use 'Fatherland'...the copyright hasn't expired yet apparently). With your Habeus Corpus and Posse Commitatus now anaesthetized, there's nothing to stop them. History is replete with examples. When thinking of the US these days, I can only think of the words of Samuel L. Jackson's character in 'Jackie Brown'...'What happened to you, Man? Our ass used to be so beautiful.'

From the outside, it's like watching a car crash...you don't want to watch but you just can't look away.

Doesn't encouraging terrorism for political gain constitute treason?

Hey...there's an ELECTION coming! One in which, at present "popularity" levels, the Repiglicans are gonna LOSE BIG! So---Guess what! It's time for another 9/11!!!!! Ya think? From idiot Chertoff's "gut feeling" to Santorum's thinly veiled threat, it sounds to ME like these guys know something is being cooked up. And that the incredibly stupid American Public is goona fall for it again (After all, 40% of the mis-informed wit-less population STILL think Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11...) Maybe it's time to put a tracer on Karl Rove. Now all of a sudden we are seeing "Al Qaida is stronger than ever" news articles...
THIS STINKS of CONSPIRACY! AND TREASON! IMPEACH CHENEY AND BUSH NOW!!!!

ysbaddaden @ 119:

It constitutes terrorism.

And poor little Sick Rantorum. Most people in Britain are blaming the Bush 'n' Tony pony show.

I'm glad you're so enthused about the terrorist attacks on my country, Ricky. Thanks for being such a shit little human being.

Santorum went on to clearly imply that terror attacks will occur inside America which will alter the body politic and lead to a reversal of the anti-war sentiment now dominating the country.

“Between now and November, a lot of things are going to happen, and I believe that by this time next year, the American public’s going to have a very different view of this war, and it will be because, I think, of some unfortunate events, that like we’re seeing unfold in the UK. But I think the American public’s going to have a very different view,” said the former senator from Pennsylvania.

Translation :

We are going to Nuke a city, blame it on terrorists and you guys will be eating out of the palm of our hand.

What's sad is, they got away with 9/11 and all the crimes leading to it. (Every wonder where John Doe #1 went from the Ok City bombing? Anyone even remember him? ;P) And now they are goin to do it again.

Good luck folks.

Paul @ 117:

They're excited, because they know it's their people planning the attacks.

It's not going to work a second time.

Yes it will. 66% believe JFK's assassination was a conspiracy. 80% feel that 9/11 was not properly questioned, and I would bet San Diego (High Latino Population, less white deaths) will get the nuke card.

I really fear for this upcoming "Reichstag fire" and I feel it will bring martial law and the rest of the world will have to decide if they are "Axis or Allies".

So let's spin right back at them.

TELL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, IF WE GET HIT AGAIN, BLAME OUR CONTINUED PRESENCE IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

Paul @ 117:

I think you're right in the first sentence; I strongly hope you are in the second.

Maybe if, er...I mean WHEN his prophecy comes true he can cash in on the not so amazing Randi's million dollar offer to anyone who displays genuine provable psychic talent.

This scenario of a "summer time terrorist attack" seems might convienant for republicans who need a boost too prove their "we are in danger rhetoric", almost reminds one of how a nefarious dictator from the past used a alleged fire of public building in Nazi Germany too work up a fervor for his agenda, but it might back fire on these republicans, since they cannot have it both ways, either they can defend us or they cannot, a attack of any kind big or little will show they cannot...., so it might be like the saying "beware what you wish for", since it does seem that the republican elite is wishing for a summer time attack too bolster their slipping popularity, and massive public unrest with their agenda....

I am totally disgusted with the Democratic Party who allow their Speaker to announce that "Impeachment Is Off The Table" What exactly does that mean? Why are the Democrats giving this Administration a free ride to destroy America as we know it

Wonder what the sick Rethugs. are going to pull or conjure up this time to try to scare Americans with fake terrorist threats.

I think that we should put Santorum on the rack before things go much further. He vibes like a bad poker player and may know something. I would like to here him squeal just for its own sake.

For those who are still under the impression that Al Qaeda is an actual Islamic-run terror group, I respectfully suggest that you to allow your horizons to be broadened by simply typing "9/11" into Google Video or YouTube. Specifically, check out:

"9/11 Mysteries"
"911 and the British Broadcasting Conspiracy"
"Loose Change" (contains a few questionable items, but is a good introduction to the topic)

You can also examine the orginal News Media footage at "http://www.archive.org/details/sept_11_tv_archive". There are so many discrepancies that the only conclusion is that the entire day was faked, including the plane hits (as unbelievable as that sounds).

They are preparing us for another false-flag terror event. When it occurs, look no further than Washington D.C. to identify the perpatrators.

Santorum is just nostalgic. 9-11 is the best thing that ever happened to the Bush administration. If not for Bush's ability to exploit the terror caused by Osama's death monkeys, he would have never been reelected to a second term. Santorum just wants to see more American's die so that the party of the corrupt - the same G.O.P. scumbags who are profiting from the Iraq war - can take power once again and extinguish more of all that is good from this country. (Q: What does an elephant use for toilet paper? A: The Constitution of the United States of America.)

we need a site where we can post of unusual persons or happenings in our respective 'hoods, cause I certainly saw things in the year before 911 that were "unusual or out of place" I am probably giving away a million dollar idea for a social site, but we need it, i volunteer

Yep and when the false-flag terror event occurs king george and his court will try and scare the sh*t out of mom & pop American public using their media puppet. Then they will declare "national emergency" on it to invoke all those "special powers" they've underhandedly voted themselves during their the past several years of their reign.

Elections? No... no no no. I'm sorry. We can't be wasting resources over such trivial things as elections now. This is a national emergency, remember? The nation's security itself is at stake here. Noooo we're just going to have to "postpone" those silly elections for now. Oh yeaaaaah ...we'll get back to you on the little details such as legality and timeframe and all that. See? We've put that right on our to do list. But hey seriously folks this is "national emergency" so ya know gotta go fight them over here because... umm... well because our lies about fighting them over there is working out just so very well.

I tell ya at this point nothing would surprise me. I honestly can see this happening anymore. The Dems would fluster and I'm sure some obligatory wheels would be spun and that would be about it. Which is to say "postponing" elections is about the only thing the "evildoers" called our executive branch HAVEN'T done. I mean... we're talking about having removed Habius Corpus here!

There isn't a single day that has gone by since... where somewhere deep inside I'm not mortified and ashamed that Habius Corpus is still... still not in place. Having the bastards vote it out in the first place is inexcuseable enough. The fact that this still hasn't been addressed by our Dem lead congress is worse. This screwing around with the attorney firings is bs. Was there a political interest in the firings? Absolutely. Did they lie and cover it up? It's what they do.

And why the missing e-mails / documentation so very important on this issue? What are the Dems trying to prove? Why does this one come up as priority one? Is it because it's all "by lawers... for lawers"? Why isn't it failure to turn over documentation on the illegal war? Remember the illegal war? This attorney firing thing is like taking issue with Hitler's parking tickets. The Democraps better get their sh*t together because gee... mabe the repubs are trying to have you run out the clock in simply cornering Gonzalez. Oh won't we all be so proud of you having finally accomplished that and that alone come 2010 mid-terms.

Oh that's right. We won't be having elections anymore. What was I thinking? ~M

Of course this makes sense. The people are furious with the Republicans (the "Terror Party") but the military doesn't want another Democratic president. Answer: scare the idiots back to the republicans. You can always scare stupid people.

What the Republicans have been doing is nothing new...

"Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
