TFH Alert - Bush gives away personal knowlege of highjacking plot
Tin Foil Hat Time folks - sorry

In the rose garden the other day Bush said that "so we will stop the attempts" Why would he say "attempts"? (WHy does he say half of the the things he does...) But when he said "we will stop THE attempts" it sounds like he knows of specific plans for a highjacking. If they were not specific one would be abt to say in a free flowing comment we will stop ANY attempt. Which indicates a non-specific event.

He was referencing the recent terror highjacking warnings and the increased airport security. Shortly prior efforts were made by someone to open a security hole for highjackers. So a hole was opened quitely last week in air marshall schedules then a warning was picked up by intelligence of an operation to highjack early this week and a warning distributed and annouced. Connecting the dots here people it sound to me like someone in the TSA is working with or for entities planning highjacking events.


FROM MSNBC

"The dropping of marshals from flights that many experts consider to be at the highest risk of attack came to light Tuesday when several air marshals contacted by MSNBC.com confirmed that they were alerted via a “text message” on their TSA-issued cell phones to check their schedules for changes.
The marshals found that, beginning Friday, they had not been scheduled for any flights that would require them to stay away from home overnight. That meant no air marshal coverage on international or cross-country flights, the very kind targeted in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks."

FROM USATODAY

"After first denying that air marshals would have been shifted, the Transportation Security Administration acknowledged Wednesday that schedules had been changed late last week. "Those actions were premature and a mistake by the people who were involved," the agency's spokesman, Robert Johnson, said. A source in the air marshal program said long-haul flights were put back into schedules over the past two days."

I still ask the question WHO AUTHORIZED MADE THE REQUEST for air marshalls to be taken off these flights??


THis all still smells really fishy.

1. it smells worst than...
...the Broward county landfill after 3 days of rain.

My advice to people in DC, NYC and other major cities: STAY HOME AS MUCH AS HUMAN POSSIBLE.

3. NONSENSE! THIS IS NOT HELPFUL! STOP IT!
You make a completely invalid inference. You can't infer a vast conspiracy from the use of a single word--especially a word spoken by a moron.

The effect is to dilute the power of a powerful and important issue--the inattention and neglect of -real- security in favor of photo-ops and whacking Iraq.

We don't need this crap now. We need solid thought and solid reason and agitation about -real- issues.

4. WHy not discuss it....
This just illustrates the fact that wierd crap is going on.

SHifting focus to broader scoped issues works to the republican favor.

Look at the effects of focusing on 16 words did...

Add them all up and you reach the higher level patterns.

I say focus on what Bush says because it will ultimately prove his undoing.

How to prove a pattern of deceipt by not pointing out when it is evident the president knows something.

The 28 pages that have been blacked out by the WHite House in the 911 report is another part of this story. And is a major issue with congress right now.

YOu have to admit the timing of Air Marshall schedule changes and the subsequent warning sure did'nt look good. And is pretty good fuel for speculation...

5. This is a strategy...
I believe, developed by Herr Rove. Numbnuts is so stupid and speech handicapped that you sometimes don't know for sure if he might just be telling the truth...dropping little hints!

7. For the moment...
take off the tinfoil hat, fold it neatly and put it away.

The last major terrorist attacks were just that--plural. Bush is referencing the future based on the past--that's the way his mind works. And his mouth is only loosely coordinated with his mind, so, at best, it's a crap shoot figuring out what he really means.

As I have said here, often--watch who visits Bush at the ranch during the month of August. From that, you can make an educated guess about what might happen in September, if anything.

Cheers.
