Dan Rather, John Ashcroft: Blast from the past - Time to Remember

[understandinglife]

How many of you know that it was Dan Rather and CBS News that ALERTED everyone of something bad about to go down?

Remember this story:

Dan Rather in July 2001 presenting the story about John Ashcroft. CBS News reports that Attorney General Ashcroft has stopped flying commercial airlines due to a threat assessment, but “neither the FBI nor the Justice Department… would identify what the threat was, when it was detected or who made it.”

That was July 26 2001

Any wonder why CBS News and Dan Rather needed to be discredited in the early Fall of 2004 ... though all Dan Rather did was report the truth about an AWOL Prince George?

Get it?

It's NOT that folk weren't trying to warn us.

It's NOT that 11 September 2001 was inevitable.

It's THAT ALL THOSE WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROTECTING US --- DID NOT DO THEIR JOBS.

For whatever reason.

THEY STILL AREN'T.


IT IS TRIBUNAL TIME IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

1. My, both have aged noticeably

in just the past six years, judging by those photos. Fascism certainly takes its toll on some men.

By contrast, the blood of innocents seems to have strengthened demons like * and Cheney during the same period.

2. "... the blood of innocents seems to have strengthened demons like * and Cheney during the ...

... same period."

Perhaps ... but to me they all appear as frail, brittle, parched old white men, who'd turn to dust and dissipate in seconds if confronted by justice.

3. Ashcan was flying home to go fishin' (Here's CBS article)...

Can't get much lower than this guy.

Ashcroft Flying High

(CBS) Fishing rod in hand, Attorney General John Ashcroft left on a weekend trip to Missouri Thursday afternoon aboard a chartered government jet, reports CBS News Correspondent Jim Stewart.

In response to inquiries from CBS News over why Ashcroft was traveling exclusively by leased jet aircraft instead of commercial airlines, the Justice Department cited what it called a "threat assessment" by the FBI, and said Ashcroft has been advised to travel only by private jet for the remainder of his term.

"There was a threat assessment and there are guidelines. He is acting under the guidelines," an FBI spokesman said. Neither the FBI nor the Justice Department, however, would identify what the threat was, when it was detected or who made it.

A senior official at the CIA said he was unaware of specific threats against any Cabinet member, and Ashcroft himself, in a speech in California, seemed unsure of the nature of the threat.

"I don't do threat assessments myself and I rely on those whose responsibility it is in the law enforcement community, particularly the FBI. And I try to stay within the guidelines that they've suggested I should stay within for those purposes," Ashcroft said.

Maybe someday these treasonous turds all will be in a federal super-max, making license plates and busting big rocks into little ones.

Even if they would have been hoping for a "smaller" attack, the fact that they didn't care for the potential "upcoming" victims so they could launch their disgusting war on We The People is incriminating enough.
