So is this alert total bullshit?
Gdamn. I'm starting to think like the tinhatters who think 9/11 was MIHOP.

I mean, its comical how everytime Bush needs a lift, the terror alert seems to get elevated or some concocted/imagined/real threat comes in. Three days before the last presidential election OBL (Osama bin forgotten) releases a video tape with a vague sort of menace, and the Pukes jump in the polls. I guess they realized that "Azzam the American" wasn't really very scary, and needed their buddy OBL to get the real juices flowing.

OBL's a CIA trained Saudi who hung out with the mujahideen(sp) during Reagan's sainted realm, got his training from the agency run by Bush's dad, and every time they need a lift he emerges from his cave, and so long as he don't see his shadow, makes a vague threat. "Your security is in your own hands..."

And can "Azzam the American" be any more cheezy? He's like a villain from a damn comic book. If Rove wanted to invent a cheezy bad guy to trot out as needed to scare the Americans into submission to his corporate masters, isn't this just the kind of Cheeto he'd invent?

So now "sources that can be traced all the way back to Iraq" (ie-some CIA operative -former employee of the shrub's dad- there) has made a specific threat against New York's subways. It would be humorically ironical if it wasn't so damn lethal. Could the timing be any more suspect?

I'm not the kind to post links to conspiracy sites and all that, and I really don't read much of the conspiracy stuff (other than the PNAC manifesto, arguably the most frightening thing ever written given that all of its signatories are now running our country); but even I am frankly suspicious about this terra alert. It looks to me like a typical half-assed psy op by the CIA.

I call bushit.

He looks like a dittohead.

Edit: And yeah, the new alerts are mostly bullshit.

That was my impression, too.

5. It's amazing how gullible we are expected to be.
How anyone can take that shit seriously is beyond me. It's laughable.

19. What's hilarious is that it is so predictable...
...yesterday, when word got out that Rove was in trouble, someone posted a thing that essentially said, "Time for the terror alert" and bingo, within 24 hours and 10 minutes of the post:

"NY subway terror alert"

Egads, so predictable its banal.

22. impeccable, yet predictable
you'd think they would realize we the people are a little smarter than that and that we can recognize a pattern when we see it!

3. Read the signs
look at all the signs leading up to these events. Shrub was desperate yesterday for us to buy the Iraq plan. His numbers are down. It was only a matter of time before something like this happened....

7. On TDS last night
Jon Stewart said the number is at "least" 13 times.

That's 13 times, including right after the Democratic National Convention in NYC.

Every time the Chimp gets his privileged ass in a bind, BAM! a terror alert.

If they find evidence of this type of activity these people should be jailed forever.

9. please also consider
that if they were willing to waste the money, resources and planning on THIS debacle, at this time when our nation is REALLY worried and many hurting after the natural disasters, are they really not likely participating in other like activities?

Can we all see this is their standard method of operation? Are they not the prime suspect in 911? Quite honestly, who's the biggest, most violent AND dishonest bully in the yard? I agree, the proof for this is not all there, but look at the pattern, look at their goals, look at their greed and how the war is giving them our tax dollars, look how they disregard human life, even Americans, and look at how g'damned crazy they are.

Just to add fuel to that fire. If they'd do this, it might also be likely they were planning an attack, and New York foiled it. Just for PR. Just to keep the war going. Yes they'd do it. Yes, it's quite possible they would. Witness New Orleans.

10. I hope not. I just finished digging my self contained bunker
in my back yard, I call it "The Freedom Hole". Stocked it full of canned goods, Bibles, shotguns to keep the neighbors from stealing my stuff, water and Coors Light. I've got a radio and a lot of batteries so I can listen to Rush and Hannity to tell me what to do, though the 50' antenna sticking up out of the ground may give my location away. I've also got plenty of duct tape and plastic bags to make my own hazmat suit like those guys I saw on tv, though the one I made caused me to pass out. I need to work on the design 'cause I think I'm forgetting something.

11. Years from now it will be used by Freepers...
as proof of a so-called link between Iraq and terrorism before their favorite president was impeached.

16. It's been looking a lot like MIHOP to me for awhile.
I don't think it takes much tinfoil to get to the fairly obvious conclusions, once you look at the evidence: the stocks played by those in the government who obviously had advance notice (Krongard), the 'pulling' of building 7 which would have taken a month to prepare for, the fact that 200 ex CIA and FBI agents are working with the 9-11 Truth Movement.

Everything real I see going on is coded as 'conspiracy theory' these days. I live in Manhattan and I was talking to a friend of mine who works near the blast (lawyer near Wall Street) and she said that everyone she knows who worked in the area was sick afterwards. She had sores on her face and her eyelashes fell out. Yet the government continued to tell us all that lower manhattan was perfectly safe. Even when the fricking NYT ran a front page article citing all the health disasters arising from 9-11 in lower Manhattan, it was still 'a conspiracy theory.'

Let's be real about this. Just because they've turned America into the set of a bad action-flick-slash-disaster-movie, doesn't mean it's not happening.

They'd have their own CIA agents killed, why not the rest of us??? What makes us so dang special that they care about us any more than Iraqis or Afghanis or the residents of New Orleans?

17. It's just so fricking unbelievable...
Like one of Hitler's "Big Lie" deals.

I'm sure ordinary Germans absolutely would have refused to credit even the idea that the Nazis burned down the Reichstag...

But in retrospect, they probably did.

And George's grandad was tight with the nazis, right?

18. FAKE TERROR - yes! cover indictments
Insiders have said that 4 people were caught trying to blow up NY subway. Everybody is saying it - even non political people. Bush is doing the terror-fear thing to cover the indictments! However I fear they will stop at nothing to put this country into martial law.

21. I keep wondering when the numbers will be so low...
...that they actually apprehend OBL. Maybe when shrub is consistently in the teens...

Of course, he's such a valuable agent, they may never want to bring him in, at least not alive...

Still, they can keep catching number two guys.

What a bunch of number two.
