LIHOP boosted Bush, polls falling: now we need another scare! virus?
Edited on Thu Apr-14-05 03:35 PM by rainy
I think this virus thing is going to be the next big LIHOP event to keep us scared and supporting the crooks in office. Remember they must do anything to win. If they ever lose the senate and house they may be tried as war criminals. THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO WIN. I think there is a dark element moving this party by a handful of powerful people who they and only they really know what they are doing to keep power and control. Remember when Bush tried to make everyone get a vaccination for small pox? I think it was possible back then that they were going to unleash this on us to keep us scared and falling in line.

Am I too paranoid?
What do you guys think?

1. I first misread your post as "IHOP" and wondered what pancake scare was
being perpetrated.

Sorry. :dunce:

2. did you see the post
on the neo-cons going to run ads to get us to go into Iran by showing them nuking NY??? Now, that DU'rs figured out who was behind it, will they run them? I think that was the plan.

3. Yes, you are too paranoid
I believe it was MIHOP on 9/11 and should another event propel us into war or beat us into submission, it would not be a biological attack.

Biological attacks could potentially kill everyone, including the nuts who released it. I somehow don't think they're suicidal, just maniacal.

Also, too many people know 9/11 was an inside job, more are learning about it everyday. If there were "failures" again, this would reflect poorly on them and the blame would rest on thier shoulders. Don't expect another terrorist attack anytime soon.

But do expect Iran to start heating up. Whether or not they're crazy enough to go through with an attack is doubtful but it doesn't mean the sword rattling won't distract us from the current battle.

They have an uncanny ability to set the topic of debate. They can cause a ruckus over any issue and soon everyone is up in arms about the new issue, leaving these current issues to die a slow silent death.

6. I'm glad you find the thought unreasonable. Thats a relief!
I thought about it back when Bush was trying to make people get the small pox vaccination.

I also believe MIHOP. But, I have made the mistake of mentioning this to some people, even Dems, and they were completely freaked out. They said things like "If I believed that I'd have to move to Canada."

9. Don't be afraid to tell people the truth as you see it...
you may be wrong but until some serious questions are answered, the official story is just that a story. If we believe every story we are told by the government without any evidence to support the theory, we may be in bigger trouble than we already are. Tell people but tell them just enough to get them to do some checking on thier own.

Just think about how many people are skeptical about what happened on 9/11. Hell, type in 9/11 in any search engine and you will see how many people believe it was either LIHOP or MIHOP. Oddly enough, you can find very few sites that support the OCT that have anything more than just basic information on that day. You know it's bullshit, I know it's bullshit, half of New York (according to a Zogby poll) knows it's bullshit. They people who freak out are the ones who are making the mistake, not you. The sad fact is, people don't want to believe it was MIHOP, they don't want to believe this so much they're willing to pretend it wasn't. It's like all of the people who knew about the Jews dissappearing in Germany. They denied it and denied it and many refused to believe it. But that's why we have the quote, "there are none so blind as those who will not see."

Also read about the Spiral of Silence, this is why you are uncomfortable speaking about this and also why they are wont to believe it.

5. I don't think so- they tried the IPOD comfy cozy story
when he was tanking - don't think that worked too well. But now oil prices have come down a bit - so maybe the Arabs will save him yet another time. In the meantime - a good old scare would work the magic - but the virus thing just points out their incompetence. I think the standard terrorist alert is in order -

7. A few days ago it dawned on me that since Bush is losing it,
much like he was at this time during his first term, we might just see another terrorist attack coming up here.

8. That's what I was thinking and thought a virus would be a huge
scare. They could bring back the small pox virus and cause havoc. They could really take away some of our rights over that.
