1. What's up?

I'm a dental surgeon.

[GliderGuider]

2. No, not that kind of radiology.

I'm obliquely trying to stimulate some thought around here about events that might involve radioactive or bacterial contamination.

I have this wild-eyed theory that we're about to become familiar with one of those two within the next week

[DetlefK]

3. There is no need for ABC-weapons in a coup.

[GliderGuider]

4. This isn't a coup.

[DetlefK]

18. You sure? So far we have:

- Bannon is now a permanent member of the National Security Council, while the Director of National Intelligence and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are now temporary members who will only participate if their participation is deemed necessary

- the Department of Homeland Security is obeying Trump's orders, ignoring the orders of federal courts and lying about it in press statements




What's next? Comey and the lackeys of the NY-division of the FBI who cooked up the fake email-controversy right before the election?

How about Attorney General Jeff Sessions?

How about the Republicans getting rid of the filibuster for Supreme Court nominations and installing a conservative so the Supreme Court can declare Trump's actions okey-dokey with a 5-4 vote?

[GliderGuider]

20. Yes, I'm sure.

Here's my reasoning.

29. A VERY strange theory IMHO. Try to relax a bit.

[GliderGuider]

30. These are VERY strange time, are they not?

I'm trying to relax, but facts keep getting in the way.

7. I've had so many Panorexes that I probably count as radiological

[KittyWampus]

5. I think this thread is creative speculation/conspiracy theory and does no good.

[GliderGuider]

8. Does no good?

We are not in normal times right now, we are wayyy out where the buses don't run. We need the right to think about what that might mean. I'm doing this in good faith. I'm trying in my own small way, to save your country FFS.

14. When has

that ever stopped anyone here???

[sharp_stick]

6. I'm a microbiologist n/t

[GliderGuider]

9. Stick around, we might need you. nt

[irisblue]

10. retired radiation therapist/radiologic technologist here whatta ya need?

[GliderGuider]

11. Thanks! Just read the thread and think.

[irisblue]

12. so you don't want to talk about positioning a patient for the perfect odontiod view?

rats! I do the best standing odots EVAH!

[GliderGuider]

16. Not so much!

[flamingdem]

13. +1 thanks for taking the plunge

to think of what might be cooking.

It's necessary to think these thoughts with a conspiracy nut in charge!!!!

[matt819]

15. Call it what you will

I've been here since the beginning, including the MIHOP and LIHOP era.

Bush and Cheney weren't anywhere near the shitgibbon's category of lunacy. Hell, they were amateurs - bush leaguers, so to speak - in comparison.

So, the question is, does anyone put it past this regime to fabricate a terrorist event on American soil, and then link it to people from one of the 7 banned countries?

I don't.

[GliderGuider]

17. +1

[mainstreetonce]

22. That thought wascwith me all weekend

I was afraid to expressive where the Trump supporters read.

Thanks for bringing it up.

[cwydro]

23. I don't either. nt

[2naSalit]

33. +1

[NightWatcher]

19. No but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night

[GliderGuider]

21. ROFL

Good one!

[NightWatcher]

24. I actually used to work in security clearances investigations and intel

I quit before the last war in 2002 when gwb's desire for war was evident and intelligence was shunned.

[GliderGuider]

25. You must be having some fun now!

Bannon's hostile takeover of the NSC was an intel officer's worst nightmare.

[NightWatcher]

26. From my guy at State, it's a mess over there. Unqualified sycophants all over.

[GliderGuider]

27. I expected as much. A decapitated Department is not a pretty place.

[Brother Buzz]

28. I managed a Nuclear Surety program in the Army

and the one thing I came to believe is that we can trust the lowly members of the military to do the right thing when push comes to shove. Period.


But then again, that was back when we had Citizen Soldiers, so all bets are off.

[GliderGuider]

31. I believe they will, if they get the chance.

That's why Bannon's hostile takeover of the NSC has me so freaked out. It significantly reduces the probability of them getting the chance.

[Brother Buzz]

32. We're seeing evidence that even Secretary of Defense James (Mad Dog) Mattis...

is willing to draw a line in the sand. To wit: his firm position against torture and Trump's magnificent spin to try and save face.

President Donald Trump said Friday he will allow his Defense Secretary James Mattis to "override" him on torture, an issue on which the two men disagree.

"I don't necessarily agree, but I would tell you that he would override because I am giving him that power," Trump said Friday during a joint news conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May. "I am going to rely on him."

I will not stop believing that my nation will endure these dark days. We will abide.
