Got a flash of insight @ McCain on the way to work this morning
As I drove along in my semi-trance-like state, the news mentioned McCain. I wasn't really listening closely, I just heard the announcer mention his name.

That's when the thought popped into my head, that he wouldn't be the Repub nominee. It hit me that they are propping him up to "look like" it, but something will happen & they will slide someone else in at the last minute.

I put NOTHING past them. I suspect he might have an "accident" or some type of health problem. Since we Dems are expecting to run against him, it will throw our game off. (They think.)

They'll slide someone in in the 11th inning and we'll have little time to mount a campaign against them.

Many Repubs don't like McCain, anyway, & those will be so excited that he is not their nominee, that they will rally around the "new" candidate.

Just thought I'd share this with y'all.

Anyone else have similar feelings?

1. Hmmm. This is the second time someone has told me she doesn't think McCain is gonna make it.
Which I think is very, very interesting. I personally don't "get" that, but I believe it's possible.

I...have other things I want to post in response to this, but I don't have the nerve. I may have to PM you later.

Edited on Thu Apr-10-08 04:41 PM by BlueIris
gone through what we might call major changes re: my take on the political situation during the past couple of weeks...that neither the Democrats or the Republicans have made up their minds about their nominees. At all. I realize this sounds very strange, and that many feel there exist only a set number of candidates from either side of the fence who can wind up with their party's support after the Dem and Rep conventions, but...I feel a lot of things are still up in the air for both sides.

This is not over.

9. No reason for flames
You may be right. I've always had a "feeling" about Gore - so who knows what's in the works. All I know - is I hope it all works out for the good. That is my prayer.

12. Totally with you on this, BlueIris!
I think the entire election is up in the air.

Unfortunately, martial law still slithers around in the back of my mind. :hide: Let's face it, they'll do anything to maintain power. Just hope I'm WRONG about that!

21. They have access to some powerful technology.
They can already "see" inside our homes. (I'll try to find a link.)

The amount of money that has gone into the "black ops" budgets over the past 50 yrs. has afforded them not telling what type of advanced techno military devices.

The power of our mind &our thoughts is our best defense..

I've had a feeling for some time that something momentous will occur on or around the time of the election to throw everything into a tizzy.

2. I don't get any specifics at ALL about the coming election,
or any of the candidates. But what keeps coming back to me is "there will be a surprise." When I try to see into this, I run right into a wall. Surprises can be good and/or bad; I've been expecting a bad one for a long while, but lately optimism sneaks in. Oddly, (?) I can see the public turning away from "business as usual" in droves this November. They (we) are literally starving for a new direction.

May this hunger prevail.

3. I also feel there will be a surprise
My feelings center around a sense of relief -- that the surprise is something that the US and the world has needed for quite some time.

The future is always subject to change, but, I do hope that my feelings accurately reflect a positive change for the direction of the US.

The planet energies might have something to do with it.

The following is for August 2008.

snipped
The positive changes in society and in the world at large are impossible to imagine at the time of this writing. The other outer planets will shift into various configurations with this aspect throughout the period, but this energy will remain constant. This is not to say that regressive forces will disappear. They will in fact be driven by despera-tion to ever more deplorable acts and attitudes, but every move to counter the positive shift will have the opposite effect as the zeitgeist rejects the efforts. Every attempt to weaken the motion toward liberality and enlightenment will actually feed and strengthen it.

30. surprise--yes!
I see it as a momentous change of direction for the US coming this fall, but "surprise" is a neater word to describe it.

8. I hope you guys are right -
I too feel very hopeful - that a real change is going to take place. Which would be "logical" based on the state of the economy and the huge mess Bush has got us into. 75% of the country is against this war - and yet we're still in it. I think we are only just beginning to see the tip of the iceberg with our economic situation. So, when it gets right down to it - McCain doesn't stand a chance. I think it will be a very embarrassing election - a complete and total landslide. And I'm sure the powers of be know that too - and may have plans to prevent it. I think McCain was promised the nomination after Bush screwed him over in 2000. But now the man is 70 and is losing it. He has nothing to offer this country and as the people get worse off and more pissed off - they will demand a change. Hopefully, it will happen.

I'm a believer in the energy the sun is putting forth - that it is enlightening people and waking people up - to our real nature. I hope the outcome of this election will reflect that. Let's get on to creating jobs through new types of environmental technology - for homes, fuel, etc. That we'll learn to work with the earth - instead of against it. But today is a good day - and I am hopeful. I've felt this way before, only to be disappointed, but with only 9 months more left to go of Bush - I'm focusing on a bright future.

10. I agree that the Repubs promised McCain the nomination.
But that doesn't mean they won't take it away once he's gotten it. The RDTC (Repub Dirty Tricks Committee) doesn't just work against Dems, they work to promote certain Repub candidates. I think that they will come to believe that he IS losing it & is not capable of serving without causing embarrassment to himself. :blush: He'll be removed somewhat gracefully, and they'll slide in their "new" guy.

I want to feel hope, but after all these years of getting nothing but the worst of the worst, one tends to become paranoid against hope. I know that sounds sad, but I think it's called conditioning.

But "Let the Sun shine on!"B-) Maybe it can sterilize the planet!

11. I totally agree
its all about the power - and they will screw over or eliminate anyone who stands in the way. But I would like to vision all of that as the "past" now. I totally understand where you're coming from - but I'm really trying to focus and visualize the right outcome. We are our thoughts - and our thoughts are energy - and we can change the world with our thoughts. What we believe - we are.

13. I try to focus on the positive, too. I keep affirming that these evil-doers
will be stripped of their power & receive Universal justice.

May the common man be able to take our planet back & act as the TRUE "stewards" we were intended to be, instead of abusers. The media is central to this happening.

20. If the new energies
totally crumble all TPTB's power structures (think The Tower), there might not be the means to accomplish deserved punishment on them. Perhaps what will happen is that their insanity, which they have convinced the world is *normal*, will be seen for what it is, and they will be removed from society for the protection of society. However. We know that they have purchased enough land and resources to escape from the face of the planet OBL style. To be rid of them might be enough.

Just some thoughts your post brought through.

14. No intuition here, but a thought that I really don't think
the powers behind the throne want anyone who might act independently. Unless McCain has them convinced that he has drunk the kool-aid and will behave like a good little neo-con, they might push someone up ahead of him at the convention. I don't know whom it might be but wouldn't running Condi Rice against either Hillary or Obama be a coup of sorts for them?

15. Not with her baggage
they may think so - but she is too soiled. There was a report where it was stated that the State Department was a complete and utter disaster under her lead.

Plus - this will lead to some of those "inconvenient" 9/11 questions that they can't possible want to be asked again - in the light of day, 7 years later. She would be a huge risk. And that's kind of the beauty of karma - they are all so "soiled" and smelly and corrupt at this point - who can they get that's not dirtier than dirt?

either. They are all corrupt and the corruption is rotting away their base.

17. I had thought of Condeeeeeee, too. There sure is a lot of press @
her possibly being considered for VP. I had the same thought as you that she is BOTH African-American & female. Sort of a blending of our current candidates. We have already felt out the waters with our candidates, so she would be more acceptable now. Not so 4 yrs ago. But she sure does have a lot of Iraqi baggage.

They still owe Arlen Specter for the magic-bullet theory. So he might slide in.

And I've felt like our little traitor LIERman is some how involved in whatever is up their sleeves.

24. When I saw McCain 'selected' even though he only had less than (was it ) 5 Million or $500 thousand.
I had the thought that Bush would be 'retired', Cheney would be 'crowned', and McCain would be selected as his vp in an attempt to keep up a pretense that we still have primaries, elections, succession laws. Cheney is the only one that the the powers behind him trust to pursue the goals they set out for him which involves silencing us while keeping us contributing infrastructure money - while they place all their links and bridges in place to assume control of at least three areas of the world. Many of us will wake up at the last minute. Whether it's too late or not is fuzzy.

28. FWIW: I strongly intuit that all 3 candidates are engaging in Kabuki
theater, though they're not aware of it. I keep seeing that Obama, Clinton, and McCain will NONE OF THEM be candidates. Beyond that, I can't get any feeling for what will happen.

31. No flash of insight ~ just intuition.
He doesn't really want it.


A few days ago, there was a very short clip of Mc Inane on the radio. I closed my eyes, listened carefully to his voice.
Notice, how monotone his voice is. The flat, uninspired "canned" speech. He seems tired, tired of defending his statement "in Iraq for 100 years", trying his hardest to show that he has some solutions for the economy, but warning that we'll be "at War my Friends" "lots of wars".

There was no doubt in my mind as I listened to him. He's a "custodial stand-in" they know the Repubs will not win in the election. There is absolutely no chance the numbers are simply too impossible to pull it off.

He is the sacrificial candidate. They aren't even going to try. It took a lot to pull off the Bush coup. McCain doesn't rate.

Read a good article in this week's New York magazine about him and his campaign.
