the arrangements for an october surprise have officially commenced
oh my god, read this news article. it is just like what officials are saying in the hindsight of 9/11...


<< WASHINGTON (AP) - Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said Thursday that there is "credible" information indicating that al-Qaida is moving ahead with plans for a "large-scale attack" in the U.S. aimed at disrupting the November elections.

Ridge said it's clear that al-Qaida has the capability to carry out such an attack. He said U.S. authorities don't have information on the time, place or method, but that they're "actively working" to gain that knoweldge.>>

1. This is so transparent...
...and chilling.

But it gives us a great response. "Al-Qaeda's trying to disrupt the elections," eh?

Well, we mustn't let that happen!!

3. Bullfuckinshit..Why would Al-Qaeda want to keep Bush in office any longer?
They hate him more then Liberals do...Bush and Ossama are mortal enemies. Too bad neither of them realizes they are EXACTLY the same thing.

"He said U.S. authorities don't have information on the time, place or method, but that they're "actively working" to gain that knoweldge."

Fuck Tom Ridge. Fuck Ossama. Fuck Bush. And Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck Homeland Security.

I think Ridge should be attached to a lie detector machine when making such announcements ... for National Security reasons ...

Polling 'margins' must be getting beyond Diebold's ability to "fix" things.

an energy grid blackout is always a possibility, too

faux Faux News: winners cannot be determined in "x" number of states ... this will be the first time in US history; and, the Media was camped out in Tallahassee ... the Supreme Court will likely select the President again ... this just in, yes, the SCOTUS, has looked things over; and, voting 5 to 4, decided we're safer to stay the curse, and selected the current selected administration to remain ...
