There is only one thing that can knock Treasongate out of the headlines
And that is another terrorist attack on the U.S. ala 9-11. If you believe in MIHOP, then you have to believe it can and will be tried again. I believe the Neocons are getting desperate, very desperate, and they need to have the kind of distraction that will make all of our heads spin. The timing appears to be right - and my guess is that if it does occur it will be linked to Iranian terrorists. Which of course will give us the excuse we need to launch an attack against IRAN. Oh I really hate it when I have to put on my tin foil hat! I feel so God awful paranoid.

Always keep this in mind: Desperate people will oftentimes resort to desperate actions.

Cornered Rats are the most dangerous.

9. Can they declare martial law FOREVER?
And how does martial law affect something like the Grand Jury? Does it stop all legal functions?

10. No it wouldn't but
it could allow the Administration to declare Martial Law (perish the thought). Not sure - but it could delay it. The Neocons need to buy time to regroup.

4. Don't forget
In order for something like that to happen, there has to be complicity in multiple levels of the government.

I'm not sure that the Neocons still have that kind of power.

17. In a MIHOP sense....what was Rudy Giuliano doing there at the...
...very same moment that the blasts went off, just like on 9-11 where he was in downtown near the WTC when they were struck.

18. I don't know what he was doing
What do you think he was doing? Planting the bombs personally?

5. Won't such an action be closely watched, perhaps that's why....
....the CIA is being fragmented and chilled down by the administration.

7. I thought it pretty much was out of the headlines?
I read you title and thought, 'what would that be? the weekend?' As evil as Bushco is, they are not going to orchestrate another 9/11 to knock Karl Rove out of the headlines. They can just pay news people to quit talking about it or supress new information and let it die. If you want to say they would let another 9/11 happen so they can start the draft and invade Iran, I might believe you.

13. That would certainly be part of the plan
We already know that the mechanics are in place to reinstitute the draft. And you know another major attack on us will reinvigorate a wave of patriotic display that will rally young men and women to enlist to defend our country.

11. What about if some ninny tries to censor video games?
That seemed to get a lot of (negative) press for the Dems.

Thanks a lot, Hillary, NOT.

I had great respect for the woman until she pulled this stupid crap.

12. And WE WON'T BE DISTRACTED. It won't work
It will be godawful tragic if another 9-11 would happen but we won't act the same way we did after 9-11. They may bet that we will but we won't.

We know about what they did after the first 9-11, Patriot Act, Anthrax attacks on Democrats, a forgotten plane crash, an executive order saying that the President can declare anyone (American citizen too)an "Enemy Combatant" and that he can order their death (Nov. 2001), condoned torture in Gitmo and Abu Grhaib, invasions of nations based on "sexed-up intelligence", using classified information to attack a political opponent, stonewall investigations into 9-11, ELECTION FRAUD, etc. etc.

We know what they are capable of doing. We know what they have done. We won't forget any of what has happened no matter what they do and we will never ever trust them again like we temporarily did after 9-11.

To quote a certain incurious George, "Fool me once. Shame on me. Fool me twice...fah-fooled me can't get fooled again!"

23. it might if it takes out his most powerful detractors
e.g. democratic congressmen and Fitzgerald

Needless to say I truly hope whoever's going after all this has those avenues locked down.

14. I was listening to the Springer show this am and he was talking to someone
from London about the bombing there. He asked if the bombing took th eheat of Blair, which his guest affirmed. He went on to mention how the events of 9/11 did a similiar thing in the US-how everyone joined together w presidnet bush. I was thinking-Jerry please don't give cornered rats any ideas.

15. Guys "We're fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here"
How can he maintain this defense if we get attacked again here? He's between a rock and a hard place right now.

Let's face it, the end is in sight for these "clowns".

19. * has to have his month long vacation. So the next week and August
are out. Everything bad seems to happen in Sept. The stock market usually goes down for dozens of reason, which is another reason I think 9-11 happened in Sept - less tramatic on the stock market. Plus we had to invade Afghanistan in October according the to plan.

I'd say September. That way people aren't freezing to death from anything bid. * is rested and can lead the country full of energy. We still have that secret executive government hiding in the background. Maybe wait for all the Democrats to have all those hearings the repubs refuse to come to and just destroy the capital building. * has an executive order and pulls out the secret government. No need for any more house or senate elections.

I should start writing science fiction with the ideas I think these creeps can pull off.
