2,000 Body Bags arrive at G-8 (!?)
What the heck? This whole article about G-8 security is over the top. The delivery of body bags has me picking my jaw up off the floor.

check it out:

>snip<
St Simons, however, has also traditionally attracted a Bohemian fringe of artists and writers. At Beachview Books, a gathering place for embattled, vociferous liberals, attitudes are is less gung-ho. Larry, editor of The Great Speckled Seagull, a "semi-underground" periodical, is a gentle radical who wears a cowboy hat with a feather in it and carves weirdly beautiful faces in the island's trees. He has just heard a rumour that 2,000 body bags have been delivered to the clapboard Chamber of Commerce across the road from the bookstore. This intelligence is passed around like a joint at a fortysomething party, a delicious whiff of recreational danger. Five minutes later, one of the island's fire chiefs drops by, fresh from a briefing. It's not a rumour. The body bags are here, together with a refrigerated lorry to take away the corpses. "I liked it better when it was a rumour," says Larry.

The fire chief is glad to take the weight off his feet and shoot the breeze. All leave at the island's 13 fire stations has been cancelled for the last three weeks. Firefighters, who double on St Simons as the ambulance service, have received intensive training in dealing with "biological, chemical and explosive emergencies". Public and official nervousness was not helped by the announcement, last week, of a planned al-Qa'ida attack on "significant events in the US", but the fire chief considers they've got things taped. He reckons you'd need a crop duster to deliver significant amounts of chemical/biological weapons and all air traffic, apart from government aircraft and the three daily commercial flights from Atlanta, has been suspended for the duration of the summit. Just in case, there are Patriot missiles parked on the beach, ready to shoot suspects out of the sky. The fire chief is someone you'd want around in a crisis, a big, comfortable man who manages to make Patriot missiles sound kinda friendly, but not all his inside information is so reassuring. The firefighters, he confides, will be issued with a biological antidote for their personal use. There won't be any antidote for members of the public, but at least the firemen will be around to shovel up the remains and stop disease spreading in the 90-degree heat.

1. I love it when these guys start getting all twisted
Eventually the only place left for them to meet will be a radioactive atoll in the Pacific. In the meantime, I'll just wish for tornado, hurricane, and tsunami. Since I'm an atheist, though, I won't expect them.

5. Sounds like the locals 'get it'

"This time George Bush really has shit and fell back in it," says Wanda Bullard, who teaches children with learning difficulties in Brunswick. Wanda's school runs a holiday lunch programme, offering underprivileged (mainly black) children a hot midday meal. This too has been cancelled because the school has been commandeered as an emergency centre by government agents. "It's plain disgusting," Wanda fumes. "Bush and his cronies are going to be sittin' around Sea Island discussing world hunger, as it affects, say, children in Africa, while African-American kids are going hungry right here because of them."

Love how this article is written. '* shit and fell back in it' - too funny.

on edit: yes, I do know how to spell 'fell'.

6. There is a culture of death in this administration.
I wonder about EVER HEARING ABOUT THE ANTHRAX INVESTIGATION AGAIN?

THE LAST I'D HEARD WAS THAT US AMES STRAIN SPORES WERE WEAPONIZED BY THE US ARMY FOR END-USER CIA.

But one particular fact about the anthrax attacks really, really, really has bothered me because it happened immediately AFTER the 9/11 attacks, BUT WELL BEFORE THE ANTHRAX ATTACKS.

DHHS Sect. Tommy Thompson hired Jerome Hauer (from SAIC) on 9-10-2001.
Hauer and Thompson immediately promoted the use of Cipro in government after 9/11-and Tommy Thompson bragged of his negotiating skills in completing a deal for 300 million doses of Cipro with Bayer (an I.G. Farben spin-off) as INNOCENT US POSTAL SERVICE EMPLOYEES WERE BEING INFECTED IN A HOT ZONE!

IS Tommy Thompson psychic? How did he seem to KNOW that ANTHRAX SPECIFICALLY would be used to attack US and that Cipro the antidote to begin taking?

Mr. Hauer is LIHOP/MIHOP suspect numero uno to me-he's in charge of bio-terrorism defense for US.
http://www.os.dhhs.gov/news/press/2002pres/20020503a.html

Tommy Thompson really left a mess in my homestate of Wisconsin, he is the man who sold the world imo. He is terminally corrupt and powermad. He lies. He brags. He is capable of anything.
http://www.judicialwatch.org/archive/2001/printer_1062.shtml

Beyond the anthrax investigation is eugenics.

Tommy is such a great pal of eugenicist Charles Murray-WHO HAD A LOT OF INPUT INTO THE "WISCONSIN WORKS"/W2 WELFARE REFORM ACT, which IS now the FEDERAL MODEL for the "end of welfare as we know it" fascist/racist crowd.

So why wouldn't there be thousands of bodybags around The War President??? IT'S A CULTURE OF DEATH.

7. Just another boondoggle for the companies using HS
Department for maximum profits. Gee, I wonder if the body bags were made in China for some Repuke owned company in Florida?

11. Here's How Dumb I Am...
I was thinking G8 was going to be hosted by Georgia -- the country.

Duh. Next thing you know I'll be choking on pretzels and falling off Segways.

14. Just a dry run
for what they have planned after this summers terror attack.

Preemptive Martial law ..where have I heard that before?

How could anyone support taking assault weapons out of the general public's hands after watching these tyrants and stormtroopers run around.

Why have so many ships worldwide put to sea? Just war games?



NAVIES OF THE WORLD PUTTING OUT TO SEA... GOOD REPORT

Posted By:
Date: Sunday, 6 June 2004, 12:34 p.m.


From -BEHOLD A PALE HORSE

Many ships of war sent to both the Pacific and Atlantic. Many world leaders meet in many places all in one month. So what is going on we do not know? An asteroid coming?World War #3 --with who? Or....world-wide martial law? Or the terrorists may have an H-Bomb in somebody's harbor and nobody knows which one.

So all of the power elite are scrambling to meetings near their secret dooms day bunkers we peons paid for with our tax dollars.It's anybody's guess???

"Badmen cannot make good citizens.
"It is impossible that a nation of idolaters should be a nation of Freemen......
It is when, a people, ...........forget God........., that tyrants... forge their chains....
A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience are incompatible ..with Freedom"

Awfully big deployments.....

<http://www.navynews.co.uk/articles/2004/0405/0004052601.asp>

Probable reasons for such big movements:

1. Pres. Bush at Normany June 6 meeting with Fr. Pres.

2. Two big world meetings; Brussels and Istanbul in June.

<http://www.gulf-news.com/Articles/World2.asp?ArticleID=122752>

A third big world meeting this week end.....

The Bilderberg group, an elite coterie of Western thinkers and power-brokers.

The 50th anniversary conference of the elite Bilderberg group - which many believe conspires semi-annually to foster global government - is under way in Stresa, Italy
