I fear LIHOP, again.
My greatest fear is that there IS an attack, imminent, and that our government will let it happen in order to allow
Patriot II/reelection/martial law.

What if Bushco decides that this is good for their electoral numbers? Then they have the best of both worlds--announcing it loudly, looking like they are doing something, and then the terrible aftermath where they can claim that they tried, but it was unavoidable.

What if they decide to allow it?

I am afraid--I posted this as a reply in another thread, but I will share it here, too:

"In August of 2001 I would obsessively take a pair of tickets I had out of a desk drawer and I kept feeling a deep sense of foreboding as I looked at them. The tickets were for the first row of the upper tier, and I kept having visions of DH and I falling, falling, through the air. I kept saying "we will have to be careful that day." (I had sat in these seats before with no problem.)

The tickets were for September 11th, Yankee Stadium, Yanks against the ChiSox.

LAST WEEK, I looked at my husband and I told him that I had the same feeling. I keep repeating two words to myself, "Newark" and "Tuesday". I hope I'm full of crap."

I hope I am wrong, but I can't shake the feeling that something very bad will happen. I'm still planning on going to NYC, though....

2. Only Problem Is
Bushhole has been stumping lately using the "not on my watch" line.
If something were to happen, it would not look good for the chimp and his claims of us being safer, and him being tough on homeland security. But, alas, knowing that POS, he will blame it on John Kerry.

5. Input from a mystic
FYI, mystics I know have been having dreams of impending doom/or darkness lately. We don't know if we're just picking up on the group angst or if it is, like your premonition, picking up on future events.

6. This Tuesday?
If these fools in NSC and our bakers dozen times two total of U.S. Intelligence Agencies are not concocting something - they better get as many people out on the street to listen to the talk - because evidently there was plenty of talk about WTC and the date of 9-11 prior to the event.

9. I don't know if this Tuesday, but I know that it's been
bouncing around in my head for a week or so....

I try to concentrate, to get more, but I can't anything else, just lots of feeling physically ill.

11. Or it would just prove that Bush is a miserable failure
wouldn't that be a little too obvious? They may try to sell it but who's going to buy it?

This whole business was about money, not power. And they already made out like bandits so it's not worth it. A stunt like that could have them all executed for treason.

13. If anything happens it will be a manifestation about how much they
hate us and how much they love themselves. Who is they - whether terrorists or our own government, the question is valid.

Has anyone discussed in detail and with any kind of insights whether the terrorists would need to do something to us right now before the election? If you could imagine yourself as a terrorist, wouldn't there be something in you that would want to seek peace for your own people? No one can fight forever. There have to be events that would lead to cease fires, negotiations, solutions, compromises. If there was ever a time to wait it would be now - to see if the Bush Cabal is voted out allowing for a window of opportunity.

Bin Laden got one of the things he wanted - a pull out of military bases in Saudi Arabia. If he speaks for Moslems there are still some serious issues - the destruction of Palestime and the removabl of Palestinians, the occupation of two Moslem countries.

If there is any rational to the terrorists and any hope of getting some of the things they want - why not wait?

But if they want to take down the entire country economically, they might have a chance - because the Bush Cabal has certainly aided and abetted the effort. We are weak.
