I'm calling BS on all these fake...
...terror alerts and canceled flights!

What shred of evidence have we been shown that any of these threats was real in any way? Four people supposedly didn't show up for a flight and one of them was supposedly a pilot. So the flight gets canceled and several hundred people are inconvenienced - you think Your Boys Karl and George give a rat's ass?

Well, I for one have had so many lies and hogwash from BushCo* that I ain't believing a frickin' word they say!

"Intercepted emails from Al Qaida." Right. Some poor schmuck in Pakistan writes his nephew that his dog is sick, and they pretend it's code for "Destroy the infidels now!"

This is all crap, just to keep the sheeple amused during the holidays, and keep their minds off the fact that they don't have any money for gifts because the BFEE exported their jobs to India.

Grrrrrr. :mad:

1. I had friends in Seattle who cancelled their holiday to Australia,
they are going to bankrupt some people and cause a lot of unemployment the way they are going..but maybe thats what they would like.

3. Someone needs to investigate Ridge & Co
and find out what fantasies he is basing these alerts upon.

The dangerous thing is that because Ridge is so clueless, he is putting us in even graver danger because he's not able to discern a real threat from all the bogus ones.

4. This Ridge guy reminds me of the ultimate buffoon
I can't believe the good people of PA elected him as their Governor. Even this morAn Ryan we had in Illinois had a few redeeming qualities. I think he was indicted last month or the month before for corruption?

5. I think the Almanac one...
was the last straw.

I haven't found one person in meatspace who takes this shit seriously any more.

I spend a lot of time talking to airport cargo and maintenance people around here, and they are thoroughly confused. They understand a lot of the problems better than we do, but they see the "solutions" as just getting in the way of their jobs and not accomplishing anything.

While they still have jobs.

The airport police love it, though. Makes them central to everything and they have no fear of layoffs. Just dreams of massive overtime.

6. mnaking people nervouse is thier plan
bush neds peopelto be afraid in order to keep them complient with what he wants to them to do and distracted with what 4 years of his administration has wrought.

Of course, the problem is, no one can stay afraid forever. At this rate, when there is a legitimate warning, no on will listen.

Not sure if thats part of thier plan or not, since an attack then would make people even mor ecomplient to Bush. Not sure just how clever/cold hearted basterdly they really are yet.
