Jack Cafferty has ESP: Time for real october surprise?
Anyone noticing that whole dirty bomb BS? I mean it might be real, but telling people about it and saying they should go about their business seems to be a fear-mongering tactic. Anyway, here are Jack's two questions (I don't know why there isn't a third one, maybe Dobb's war on middle class special will run over into the 7 pm hour of the Situation Room.)

"4 p.m.: Why do you think the violence is escalating in Iraq?

5 p.m.: Is there time left before the midterm elections for an October surprise? And if so, what will it be?"

Answer here:

4. Will a dirty bomb kill as many as the dust from the WTC?
Because a dirty bomb kills years later.........the WTC dust is killing Americans now.

6. It slightly elevates the risk of cancer for people...
in the area of the blast. It is a fallout bomb, so in most cases can be cleaned up. Actually, other than the explosion of the conventional explosive, it is a psychological weapon.

People might be even safer than after 9/11, because the clean up crew would wear protective gear by default, unlike 9/11 where the workers didn't wear appropriate protection.

7. That's what I thought.
And that's how we counter the panic they are trying to spread.

Of course, a peaceful football weekend is just going to depress the hell out of them.

5. Were they following THIS playbook, perhaps????

Media Hypes Nutcase Scribblings as "Terror Plot Admission"



The British media is feverishly hyping the deranged notes of a screwball Muslim Londoner as evidence of a huge "terror plot admission" in which Wall Street and other prominent buildings were the target - despite the fact that the suspect had no means whatsoever to carry out the attack..."A man has pleaded guilty to conspiring to murder people in a series of bombings on British and US targets," reports the BBC.

"The plans were for attacks on the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank buildings in Washington, the New York Stock Exchange and Citigroup buildings in New York and the Prudential buildings in Newark, New Jersey."

According to the latest manufactured monster in the closet fairy tale, Dhiren Barot, of north London, planned to use a radioactive "dirty bomb" as well as blowing up cars in underground UK parking lots using gas cylinders and explosives.

Here's the kicker.

"The Crown could not dispute claims from the defence that no funding had been received for the projects, nor any vehicles or bomb-making materials acquired."

No money, no vehicles, no bombs - just some retarded nutcase scrawling absent-minded empty threats in a notebook. Should he be investigated by the police? No doubt about it. Should his "confession" of scribbling demented ramblings in a paper pad be splashed all over the top of the BBC website and head up the evening news.......No. That's outright fearmongering and artificially inflating a nothing story to feed into the public's fear of its own shadow - greasing the skids for Blair to shred the remaining tatters of liberty and blanket the country with more shouting telescreens......... http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=WAT20061013&articleId=3475

8. The October surprise happened at the primary when Diebold
purged thousands of voters from the rolls.
