4. Happy days are (almost) here again!
It's not just a shift of the tide, it's a freakin' tsunami. The damage done by the Neocons will last for decades. :) :) :)

5. Great. But does a sure loss noted early set up a drastic event to undo it?
Edited on Thu Jun-10-04 12:45 PM by JohnOneillsMemory
Maybe a squeeker win for Dems would prevent a Northwoods-type operation.

Dang, there's always a down side to these neocon mofos.

I'm off to the pool to practice holding my breath under water for when they start 'boarding' their opposition in domestic torture stations after the military coup.

Cheers!

Rogue Bush Backers prepare Super 9/11 False Flag Terror Attacks By
Webster Griffin Tarpley
Toronto, May 30 - Intelligence patterns monitored over the US
Memorial Day weekend now point conclusively to an imminent new round of
ABC (atomic-bacteriological-chemical) terror attacks in the United
States, Great Britain, Canada, and possibly other nations. These
attacks could include nuclear detonations, radiological dirty bombs,
poison gas and other chemical weapons, or biological agents, to be
unleashed in such urban settings as New York City, Los Angeles,
Chicago, Washington DC, Vancouver BC, or London.
The goal of these operations would be to produce a worldwide shock
several orders of magnitude greater than the original 9-11, with a view
to stopping the collapse of the Bush administration, the Wall
Street-centered financial structures, and the US-UK strategic position
generally. The attacks would be attributed by US/UK intelligence to
controlled patsy terrorist groups who would be linked by the media to
countries like Iran, Syria, Cuba, or North Korea.
The organizers of the attacks would in reality be substantially the
same secret command cell in the United States which set up the 9-11
events and its associated networks, which have been able to continue in
operation because of the abject failure of all 9-11 investigations to
date to identify them....
These forces are now in a desperate flight forward to escape from
their current increasingly grim position. Their goal is now to
establish a neocon fascist dictatorship in the United States, complete
with martial law, special tribunals, press and media censorship, and
the full pervasive apparatus of the modern police state.
The chatter in Washington points to state-sponsored terrorism on a
grand scale, with the desperados of the neocon faction calling the
shots. The looming event will be an "own goal" of the Americans.
In short, a coup d'etat is being prepared in the United States - not
a coup against the existing government, but rather for the purpose of
disciplining and dragooning the entire political process for escalated
foreign aggression, with the homeland secured by emergency rule. It
goes without saying that those associated with such a coup are felons,
war criminals, and traitors to their country.
The leading edge of the propaganda campaign designed to establish
the credibility of the coming ABC (atomic, bacteriological, chemical)
terror wave is the May 26 press conference of Attorney General Ashcroft
and FBI Director Robert Mueller to announce the coming summer "perfect
storm" of terrorism. According to advance wire service reports, "U.S.
officials have obtained new intelligence deemed highly credible
indicating al-Qaeda or other terrorists are in the United States and
preparing to launch a major attack this summer.(AP, 25 May 2004)
There is also an intensive pattern of incidents pointing in the
direction of a terrorist attack on rail systems, on the Madrid model.
This pattern includes suspicious activity in the Northeast rail
corridor between Washington and Boston. A Philadelphia television
station reported the discovery of a wireless transmitter carefully
hidden in the gravel along the SEPTA (Southeast Pennsylvania Transit
Authority) rail tracks in Philadelphia. An infrared sensor, painted
black and buried in the trackside ballast, was found along the SEPTA
tracks, which could be used as a triggering device. It sends a signal
when something crosses its infrared beam. (WPVI News, Philadelphia, May
20)
On May 1, New York City police found five empty suitcases at Penn
Station, New York FBI headquarters, and other sensitive points.
According to The New York Post, the police feared that these empty
suitcases represented "a test by terrorist bent on a Madrid-type
attack" on commuter trains. (New York Post, May 2, 2004)
There is also an uptick in the detected activities of foreign
intelligence services, such as the Mossad, on US territory. According
to a Florida newspaper, for the second time in two weeks Israelis in a
moving van were detained near a U.S. nuclear facility, this time at the
Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base near St. Marys, GA., near Sea Island,
host of the G-8 Summit next month." (Jacksonville Times-Union, 21 May
2004)
On May 6, British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced that the new
head of the British intelligence service MI-6 will be John Scarlett.
The choice immediately caused protests from British political
opposition leaders. Scarlett was the author and stubborn defender of
the now-totally-discredited and artificially sexed-up "Iraqi WMD"
report issued by the Blair government in support of the US-UK war
drive. Dr. David Kelley lost his life in the scandal that developed
around the manipulations in this report, but the role of the government
was whitewashed in the inquiry conducted by Lord Hutton of the Law
Lords. This appointment means that MI-6 will lack the leadership of a
competent and independent professional who might act to prevent the
coming terrorism, and will instead be under the domination of a
political hack of dubious judgment and loyalty. (Wire services, May 6)
In addition, the US government appears to have imposed an embargo on
the sharing of critical anti-terror intelligence with European
authorities. Whatever the intent, the net effect of this blackout is to
screen certain activities in the US from scrutiny by the allies. In an
article published May 6 the German economic paper Handelsblatt reported
in reference to a similar article which appeared in the Wall Street
Journal, that Spanish investigators, like many of their colleagues in
Europe, find it very difficult to obtain information from US circles
which are engaged in the fight against terrorism.
Mentioned is the case of Spanish Judge Balthazar Garzon who
reportedly was unable to proceed with certain investigations on Al
Qaeda after Sept 11th, like the case of Al Qaeda member Ramzi
Binalshibh, who is imprisoned in an unknown location. The problem is
compounded by the fact that the anti-terrorism fight in the US is being
conducted by non-public military courts and military intelligence,
neither of which, as the article claims, is sharing testimony and
evidence with their European colleagues for further use. (Handelsblatt,
May 6; Yahoo wires, May 7)
Sidney Blumenthal, a former advisor to the Clinton Administration,
now with Salon.com, wrote a piece in the Guardian on how the U.S.
officer corps has turned against Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
The piece, by, is headlined "America's Military Coup." Retired General
William Odom, who was the head of the National Security Agency, the
main US electronic spying center, and who is now at the Hudson
Institute, is quoted saying: "It was never in our interest to go into
Iraq. It is a diversion from the war on terrorism; the rationale for
the Iraq war (finding WMD) is phony; the US army is overstretched and
being driven into the ground; and the prospect of building a democracy
is zero. In Iraqi politics legitimacy is going to be tied to expelling
us. Wisdom in military affairs dictates withdrawal in this situation.
We can't afford to fail, that's mindless. The issue is how we stop
failing more. I am arguing a strategic decision." Another military
figure told Blumenthal that Rumsfeld was "detested" and that "if
there's a sentiment in the army it is: support our troops, impeach
Rumsfeld." Blumenthal then references an essay by Lt.Col. Charles
Dunlap, which had received a prize in 1992 from then General Colin
Powell.
The title of the piece was "The Origins of the American Military
Coup of 2012," which was a cautionary tale of how the U.S. military
launched a coup because of the failures of the government. (Guardian,
May 13, 2004) Former CENTCOM commanders Zinni and Hoar have also
published attacks on the Rumsfeld-Wolfowitz policies. One account
suggested that, given the degree of military hatred against the
administration, any other country would have already witnessed a
military coup.
The US Congress ought to be particularly concerned, since one of the
most plausible coup scenarios features the destruction of the US
Capitol and its adjacent office buildings, exterminating large numbers
of Senators, Congressmen, and staff. Incredibly, the Congress is
conniving in its own liquidation through the bill ordering instant
elections to replace deceased Congressmen which is now making its way
in to law. The gullible lawmakers would seem to be signing their own
death warrant, since if there is anything that would facilitate the
erection of a police state, it is the lack of an intact and functioning
legislative branch - a fact illustrated all too well by the Nazi
burning of the German Reichstag shortly after Hitler's seizure of
power. But will the Congress act?

Joel Skousen's World Affairs Brief June 4, 2004 Copyright Joel Skousen.
Partial quotations permitted. (http://www.worldaffairsbrief.com).
(excerpt)
1) A department of a major corporation in the NYC area, with close
ties to Tom Ridge, is issuing warnings to employees to expect
"something big" in NY this summer. They are instructed not to ride the
subways and trains during rush hour, and to avoid the tunnels.
2) The credit card fraud division of a major bank in the Western US
received a visit from the Treasury Department warning them of a
startling increase in credit card fraud that funnels large amounts of
cash to certain individuals. This same pattern occurred 3 months prior
to 9/11.
3) A ham radio operator recorded a sensitive transmission from a
military radio net (code named Snowball) that was mistakenly
transmitted in the clear: "Snowball Net, comm check. All stations,
clock sync, (pause) impact at minus 146 days, 5 hours UTC. Standby for
ACD link (Burst of digital data.)" Snowball was interrupted by
"Burro," a member of the net: "Snowball, this is Burro. You are not
secure. repeat not secure. go green. go green. (Bursts of white noise
follow for approximately 3 minutes)." but is coded digital data.]
Rev. Moon is leaving the US after 24 years. Moon is head of the
Unification Church and owner of the slavishly pro-Bush Washington
Times. He has long been suspected of fronting for the CIA and of using
his news organizations to influence the right-wing conservative
movement to accept globalists like Bush as one of their own. As a
person with hidden influence in the US, his decision to go back to
Korea in June dovetails with the other worrisome signs mentioned above.
