The Criminal Enterprise needs a BIG distraction right about now. Michael Jackson won't cut it. Elevated terror alert won't help the bastards either. They need something HUGE and they need it FAST.

1. This one's got a marathoners legs
As long as there are still more damaging pictures out there, this is going to be the story.

2. But there's still six months before November.
That's enough time to lose the advantage, even if they go Code Red. Late Summer is when I'd start ducking and covering if I were an American.

One proviso:

As a Canadian, I'm afraid we have a MIHOP window opening up here. Looks like we're having an election June 28. An attack here may be looking good to some: it would likely drive Canadian voters rightward, and serve as a display to Americans, close to the Homeland, of the enduring threat of terror, without putting Bush on the spot for failing to have prevented it.

3. Right about that.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a society whose "center" had failed, that was beginning to gyrate and spin out of control?

Welcome to your new reality. Hold onto your hats, it is going to be a bumpy ride.

4. I wish you hadn't said that...
That is exactly what I have been thinking-
haven't wanted to say it out loud, though.

They need to shift the sheeples' attention
off the prison scandal and we know what
they are capable of, now don't we?

Yep, I think it is time to be afraid, for real.
Not because of their fake threats, but because
of the fact that when they can't take the heat
in the kitchen, they simply nuke it.
These people are just plain EVIL.

8. Hi BeHereNow
:hi:

I am trying to figure out what the hell is going on and where this is going, just in my own head.

5. Well, race has always seemed to distract some folks

You may say Michael Jackson won't cut it. Maybe he--as well as Kobe Bryant--may not. But remember that their accusers are white. And you never know if the repugs might pay them off to say something about n----rs...it'll be all over the news. A great way to take away attention. Just like OJ and Mark Furman (sp?).

6. Bush Has Done Just About Everything Possible
The only thing left that I can imagine is a thermonuclear device and/or military coup...but if anyone tries it, I think it will leak out faster than water in a sieve.

See, that's the problem...China has the right idea, cutting people out of the World Wide Web...too bad the Bushies didn't do that, instead of always trying to get American women in unwanted pregnancies.....

7. true: "it will leak out faster than water in a sieve" but
Edited on Fri May-07-04 02:50 PM by Minstrel Boy
the awful question is, so what?

This gang has perpetrated so many wrongs, and killed so many people, while millions have been on to them, I doubt that our knowing they are criminals will keep them from committing further high crimes.

They lie - lies which take thousands of lives - and when their deceit is exposed it's all they can do to shrug, "Whatever."

I've been thinking about this a lot: "knowledge is power." And I've come to the conclusion that's bullshit. Because I'm better informed right now than I've ever been in my life, and I've never felt more impotent.
