Is it mere coincidence that this over the top assassination plot gets revealed

[snagglepuss]

as OWS gathers momentum?

[notadmblnd]

1. I asked that in another thread.

And did you happen to notice that gas had a huge price jump today? This morning I saw it for 3.19, this afternoon, 3.59.

[dkf]

2. That is what the Ayatollah said.

[flobee1]

3. I was wondering that myself

at my local occupy today

[teddy51]

4. I think that it has been trumped up to distract, and one can only hope that it

has empty threats by this Administration toward Iran. What a freaken mess that would be if the US were to attack Iran.

[virgogal]

6. It would be a hell of a lot more than a "freaken mess",it would

be a disaster.

[teddy51]

10. I was trying to be a little low key on that, but your absolutely right. n/t

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

5. News happens every day

You are never going to get that perfect "slow news day" for two straight weeks.

[TheWraith]

7. Yes. Next ridiculous question? nt

[Number23]

9. Okay? Sheesh

:eyes:
Some of the stuff around here has been beyond embarrassing lately.

[Fire Walk With Me]

8. Bin Laden is offed right in the middle of Donald Trump tearing up the media about Obama's birth

certificate.

[TheWraith]

11. Actually no, it was right after Trump had gotten kicked straight in the nuts...

...by virtue of the original scan getting wide circulation. Remember Trump being the butt of the jokes at the White House Correspondents' Dinner? That was a night or two before the news broke about Bin Laden.

[Fire Walk With Me]

12. Yes but he wasn't shutting up about it. It is tin foil, but the Bin Laden thing

effectively banished Trump from the news.

I am grateful no matter how it was accomplished ;)

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. And Mexico is in the conspiracy

:sarcasm:

Sorry if my bs detector goes off now...yes, there are bad actors round the world...and not all is a conspiracy to distract you stemming from dc.

Watching coverage in mexico has been interesting. So for the tinfoil to work how much did the DEA pay the Instituto Nacional de Migración?

[frylock]

16. well shit, if it's on the mexican news it must be legit

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. Well Mexico played a role in this

So how much did we pay civilian intel? The Instituto Nacional de Migración and army intel?

I am asking a serious question.

[PETRUS]

14. Hard to say

But we do know that the alleged plot does not conform to Quds M.O.

[gkhouston]

15. My first thought was to wonder if an appropriations bill for Homeland Security has passed. n/

[ecstatic]

17. Yes. Nobody really cares about the plot. If this was just a case of

wagging the dog, wouldn't they have chosen someone with more name recognition and popularity? Everything is not a conspiracy!

[SomethingFishy]

19. Well in spite of certain posters adamant denials there is

Something Fishy about the whole thing...

I thought of this when I heard the story:

[snagglepuss]

23. It's all too convenient and preposterous. How utterly convenient that

out of hundreds of criminals in the Mexican cartel the one who was arrested happened to know about this particular scheme and spilled the beans.

[SomethingFishy]

24. Yeah this "plot" is like a PNAC wet dream...

Mexican Drug Cartels, Iranians, I'm surprised there isn't an Al-Quaeda #2 or 3 involved somewhere.

[Eddie Haskell]

20. Hide under the bed and kiss your ass goodbye.

I'm terrifbied.

[theophilus]

21. I thinks it's as Fishy as a hellishly fishy fish found floating in a fen. n/t

[Faux pas]

22. Not at all, need a distraction that takes the spotlight off

important stuff.

[dbt]

25. Please remain motionless and do not threaten the Thought Police.

Do not resist as they disabuse you of these dangerous and self-destructive independent thoughts. Shhhhh. Sleep now, all will be well.
