  • RogueGenius, on 07/18/2008, -2/+9Absolutely Al-Qaeda is preparing an attack. They would do anything to keep the Republicans in office. Furthermore, I would expect a tape of bin Laden 'endorsing' change in late August or early September. He won't come right out and say 'vote for Obama' but he'll make it clear enough to hurt the democrats.

    These are clever people manipulating stupid people. A paradigm we must change if we are survive as a nation.

  • Pitofdoom, on 07/18/2008, -3/+2Unless they hit a military target they're just once again proving to be pussies !
    I hope I'm in a nuke zone, it seams to be the quickest and easiest way off this turned to ***** little spinning rock !
  • Conspiracy20, on 07/18/2008, -1/+9you mean RepubliQaeda!
  • swrostmore, on 07/18/2008, -1/+10They certainly do seem to step up their terrorism during the election season, don't they?

    June 14, 2004
    The Threat: A shopping mall in Columbus, Ohio, is threatened by Al Qaeda bomber. "The American heartland was targeted for death and destruction," Ashcroft declares.
    The Reality: The Somali suspect whose indictment Ashcroft trumpeted had been in custody for seven months. The charges against him made no mention of a shopping mall.
    The Real News: John Kerry leads Bush by seven points in early Ohio polling.

    July 8, 2004
    The Threat: Tom Ridge warns that "Al Qaeda is moving forward with its plans to carry out a large-scale attack in the United States in an effort to disrupt our democratic process."
    The Reality: The plot did not exist: Says a top European spy, "I am aware of no intelligence, nothing that shows there will be an attack before the U.S. presidential election."
    Real News: Two days earlier, John Kerry tapped John Edwards as his running mate.

    August 1, 2004
    The Threat: Orange Alert. Citing "new and unusually specific" intelligence, Ridge details a threat to the Citigroup building and the New York Stock Exchange. Adds Bush, "We wouldn't be, you know, contacting authorities at the local level unless something was real."
    The Reality: The president allowed his own daughters to do a photo-op at one of the targeted buildings. Perhaps that's because the "new" intelligence was actually three years old. "There is nothing right now that we're hearing that is new," says a senior law-enforcement official.
    Real News: Alert came three days after Kerry took the Democratic nomination at the party's convention in Boston.

    June 23, 2006
    The Threat: Miami-based terrorists plotting to topple the Sears Tower. "These homegrown terrorists may prove to be as dangerous as groups like Al Qaida," says Alberto Gonzales.
    The Reality: FBI Deputy Director John Pistole terms plot "more aspirational than operational." Suspects armed to the teeth — with paintball guns — attempted to secure Al Qaeda funds at local 7-11.

    July 7, 2006
    The Threat: New York Daily News breaks news of plot to bomb Holland Tunnel, flood Wall Street. FBI Assistant Director Mark Mershon calls threat "the real deal."
    The Reality: Suspect had been arrested three months earlier, after bragging about his planned exploits in an Internet chat room. Said one CIA officer, "The plot, if that is what we would call it, was not well conceived, and there was no possibility of flooding Wall Street. There was no connection to a cell in the US. Finally, professional terrorists generally do not discuss targeting on open channels."
    • SaraLiberty, on 08/16/2008, -0/+2Wow, what a "coincidence" huh? Right around voting time on election season. Each & every one. Certainly nothing to be concerned about right. After all, you know, those things just happen! 'Move along nothing to see here." And it's obviously those foreign 'religious fanatic' evildoers who 'hate our freedoms and way of life' who are the ones up to no good again. Plotting to harm Americans from their desert caves because they 'hate our freedom.".. Could we get another spy bill to monitor our phone calls, emails, faxes and bank transactions so we can be "protected" ? How about another "patriot act" sequel part IV to permanently destroy what's left of our few remaining Civil Liberties for extra "security." More legislation, laws, bills, and privacy rights taken away please! How about another "Department of Homeland (in)SS-ecurity? Kill that pesky Constitution for good! And how about a National ID card with RFID chip tracking while we're at it, so we can be EXTRA safe from those "freedom-hating terrorists" who "hate our freedoms and way of life."

      Meanwhile, Americas borders and ports remain unsecured, unprotected..
  • ciaran036, on 07/18/2008, -1/+6Another false flag operation in planning?
  • SaraLiberty, on 08/16/2008, -1/+4So McCain is in on the false flags too? Figures...

    Is your statement a "threat" John? To scare the dumbed down, gullible American serf public into "voting for you" so you can "protect us from evil" "teach evildoers a lesson" "show 'em who's boss!" and all that knee-jerk soundbite mind-numbing rhetoric straight out of a Batman comic book.

    John knows somethings gonna go down right. Anyone who is a devoted AIPAC servant, CFR groupie, Rockefeller approved and Bilderberg friendly is obviously privy to the game.

    McCain claims to be so certain about al-ciada "preparing to strike" right. Why?
    He is obviously "on to something" from the inner-circle inside sources of rich war profiteering elites who know what's gonna go down before we sheep do..As they plot their future plans for the world from behind closed doors in complete and total secrecy, above the Constitution.

    McCain has knowledge of impending attack. Why not warn the American people with the specifics as to exactly when, where, etc. So we can GET THE ***** OUT! and not be murdered by a secret government's "surprise" attack.
    ?
    Why scare people like that?
    Why not give us more details, McCain? So we won't become murdered in large numbers on American soil. Again.
    Like the last one that served as the perfect "new Pearl Harbor" for your neoCON PNAC scam artists war plans for endless years of perpetual war and profiteering in the middle east. At our expense. "Mission accomplished" right.

    Or is this scripted double talking puppet just going to let another false flag happen to continue a PNAC manifesto war agenda and possibly, his turn as president (puppet on strings) of the hi-jacked divided states of former USA...

    worth watching:
    The Secret Government: The Constitution in Crisis, by Bill Moyers
    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3505348655 ...
    "This is the full length 90 min. version of Bill Moyer's 1987 scathing critique of the criminal subterfuge carried out by the Executive Branch of the United States Government to carry out operations which are clearly contrary to the Constitution and wishes and values of the American people. The ability to exercise this power with impunity is facilitated by the National Security Act of 1947. The thrust of the exposé is the Iran-Contra arms and drug-running operations which flooded the streets of our nation with crack cocaine. The significance of the documentary is probably greater today in 2008 than it was when it was made. We now have a situation in which these same forces have committed the most egregious terrorist attack on US soil and have declared a fraudulent so-called "War on Terror". The ruling regime in the US who have conducted the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, are now banging the war drum against Iran. We have the PATRIOT act which has stripped us of many of our basic civil rights justified by the terror of 9/11 which is their own doing."
  • zephc, on 07/18/2008, -0/+3So if Al Qaeda can strike when they want to during an election, that means they can strike at ANY time. This leads me to the conclusion that this administration has done ***** for real safety in the US, but rather it is all for show. Can I have my civil liberties back now?
  • ColumbusRep, on 07/18/2008, -0/+4Possible False Flag Alert!
  • joshstone100, on 07/19/2008, -1/+0FTA:
    "(Corrects in first paragraph that McCain campaign says he was referring to provincial elections in Iraq.)"

    Whoops. Guess he read the scripts wrong.

    ``Senator Obama said the surge would fail. He still fails to admit that it has succeeded,'' McCain said in response to a question from the audience. ``I am confident we will win.''

    How can you win what you've already lost?
  • medfreak, on 07/19/2008, -1/+1I cannot understand why the ***** Americans would chose a republican if a terrorist attack is carried out. FFS if a Terrorist attack is carried out, it means the last Republican president ***** up and failed at protecting the US from that. How on earth can it be spun in the Republicans' favor I don't know.
  • urgeigh, on 07/23/2008, -1/+2Al-Qaeda doesn't exist.
  • Truzseeker, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1"Ana raicha Al Qaeda" is colloquial for "I'm going to the toilet". A very common and widespread use of the word "Al-Qaeda" in different Arab countries in the public language is for the toilet bowl. This name comes from the Arabic verb "Qa'ada" which mean "to sit", pertinently, on the "Toilet Bowl". In most Arabs homes there are two kinds of toilets: "Al-Qaeda" also called the "Hamam Franji" or foreign toilet, and "Hamam Arabi" or "Arab toilet" which is a hole in the ground. Lest we forget it, the potty used by small children is called "Ma Qa'adia" or "Little Qaeda".

    So, if you were forming a terrorist group, would you call yourself, "The Toilet"?
