5. 5 days later I think it's mostly a load of crap
I am not questioning that there were some pakistanis talking about it...but details seem to be slow coming out and the more I hear the more it sounds like the nutburgers who were supposed to be plotting against Chicago...

I think they talked about using some liquid explosives but probably hadn't come close to pulling it off (that had been in the hopper for a decade and never pulled off).

I am certain that the timing of the arrest and the press releases and speeches were timed specifically for political gain.

In the end I think we have so many people hating us that you can't throw a rock in many places without finding someone willing to talk about hurting us. I think that makes it very easy for our leaders to set up stings and use those stings for their political gain.

I think that the current TSA controls are all about seeing how far the sheeple will allow themselves to be herded...I don't think it does a damn thing to keep us safer.

I think they need to leave our hair gel and our shoes alone and I think our congress members should be investigating all these supposed Plots that later vanish from the headlines.

I also think they should investigate the media for it's over the top jump the shark reporting on each event that seem to be so clearly orchestrated with the govt.

But I know I'm deaming there.

Best article I've read so far http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14531.htm

I just don't accept it when all I am hearing comes from those who we know lie for gain.
