Bush psychologically terrorized us with the phoney alerts!

[laugle]

The phoney terrorists alerts go hand in hand with the DSN memo. Those SOB's managed to terrorize the whole country! And we now know it was deliberate. Maybe that would piss a few people off in this country!!!

[dogday]

1. Just like Rats in science experiment except we have brains and

have figured out that someone is trying to scare us. Terrorism has happened in every country in the world and they don't handle it the way we have.

2. I live 50 miles from Ground Zero

I ignored all of them after the plastic and duct tape fiasco.

ZERO credibility.

[laugle]

3. I'm sorry to say, I still have my plastic

ready to go. I'm just one of those people who believe it's better to be safe than sorry. I went out and bought 2 large wicker trunks, filled them with all emergency stuff. Filled one with food. And then, I told my husband, that's it!!!! I am not going to be at the mercy of these alerts. But I am still prepared, as Bush has made us all less safe. But, it's interesting how most alerts ceased after bush got his war!!!! He is sooooo fricking evil!!!

6. I live about a mile and a half from Ground Zero,

and I didn't pay attention to the bogus alerts either.

4. Only piss them off if it causes disruption of the TV schedule

Cancel the Law and Order reruns and the "reality" shows, then you'll see the sedated masses of the sheeple stirred to action.

5. Capitalizing on 911

From the link in my sig line.....(if you REALLY want to get pissed off, read the whole thing.)

"While the nation was stripped to the emotional bone and painfully vulnerable, the White House capitalized on the opportunity to reshape public perceptions and responses to conform with the PNAC's new American agenda. Rather than buoy the "can do" American spirit with optimism and hope for the future as Presidents before him had done in times of crisis, Bush spoke with an alarmist and pessimistic tone that served to perpetuate the high anxiety, excitability and fear in the populace.

To hear him speak, the world was a dark, evil and dangerous place....terrorism was here to stay....it would be a long struggle....America was helpless without the military might of the Government to keep the nation safe. The intent was to create a psychologically broken, weary and docile populace that would be easier to lead into war.

Fear became the Administration's strategic tactic for reprogramming the public into accepting the PNAC's militaristic designs. Still shell-shocked and exhausted from the enormity of the WTC and Pentagon tragedies, the public's panic shifted into frenzied over-drive when anthrax-laced envelopes arrived in government and media offices, killing five people. A perpetrator was never identified but the investigation eventually centered around the Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, one of the nation's main anthrax research centers.

Using classic "operant learning" techniques from the realm of consumer psychology, the public was purposely kept on High Alert and continually "shaped" with ominous sound bites on the nightly news and "Level Orange Terror Alerts" at regularly scheduled but discrete intervals.

19. All of your post is sooooooooooo true! n/t

[OneTwentyoNine]

7. No...he terrorized the fools who buy into that crap

Shit,I laughed through all of them.The fun color chart,the plastic and duct tape(no wonder HD supports Bush through PAC money)and all other BS.

The dips that he fooled would be fooled by anything Chimp tells them.

[laugle]

12. Hey I'm nobody's fool, but

I'm sure as hell not taking any chances. And you too should not be complacent! I'm certainly not saying jump when the idiots give alerts, but, they know we are on to them. But just for your own piece of mind, since we damm well know we are not safer. So use common sense and prepare for your family and forget those alerts. We all know they have no credibility anymore. It's like the boy who cried wolf too many times.

[autorank]

8. He sure did...and Ridge confirmed it, and then he did it again.

This is a sickness that is so profoundly cynical, I can't begin to imagine the type of people who would perpetrate it. I can see them and I can hear them and they are all in the White House. Shame on them, but they have no shame. They stole two elections and established an oligarchy by fiat. The press and corporate America were complicit and reap the rewards but it's getting a bit dicey now. When * stole 2004, he showed that he didn't need any support, just the Secretaries of State in several key states and some extremist owned voting machine companies. And we sit her and do nothing.

NEW LEADERS FOR A NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY!

Contact the DNC and Give 'em Hell About NOT Acting on Election Fraud

9. Phony 10+ Terror WARNING -Ohio election eve, election board lockdown

to commit treason, election tampering, and to steal a Presidency.

Terror psyops is criminal enough, worse than yelling fire in a crowded theatre, but this instance is a capitol offense.

10. Intentional infliction of emotional distress.

11. Here's a couple of threads

that I posted during the Christmas, 2003 alert. Seems that there's a core group of freepers who generated most of the noise. Funny, one of the sites that was involved turned out to be the now famous Talon News.

13. He didn't terrorize me. n/t

[scarletlib]

14. tonight on CBS news they were talking terror, terror, terror

FBI has arrested "a string of people" across the country in stings. these so called terrorists planning to assist al queda or blow things up here.

they went on and on about how the terrorists couldn't do big things anymore so they would now target hospitals and supermarkets.

First, I think the FBI has been dry for 3+ years as far as finding any terrorists so it looks like they did some stings with possible entrapment of people. That remains to be seen.

Second, bush's poll numbers are in the crapper, the DSM is starting to get a little traction.

Walla! We now have terror on the menu again!

[laugle]

15. You are soooooooo right!

And it is getting a little scary when I hear about them arresting American citizens. It seems we never hear anything more about these people. Didn't the supreme court tell Bush, these people must have representation? I wonder if they do?
