Okay, so let's say Ridge isn' t lying and there will be an attack

[cheezus]

did he tell us where to avoid, or what to do? or what the government's response plan is?

NO!!!!

He just told us to be afraid. Fat fucking lot of good that does if a dirty bomb goes off.



so we're still "evelvated", and a little more, but not quite enough to be "high"

well, screw that. I'm not going to be afraid.

1. If LIHOP #2 happens you can be sure it will Saudi Agents again

They will likely have training and ties, as the 9-11 Saudis did to both Jeb Bush's Florida and CIA Accomplices like Rudi Dekkers' and his Terrorist Flight School.

Ridge might not actually be lying here, technically. They know an attack is coming because their friends are doing the attacking and the Imperials are going to Let It Happen On Purpose again.

2. They can't protect us

until all civil liberties are discarded first.

3. I just wrapped myself in a clear shower curtain...

4. If an attack does come...

then EVERYONE ON DU should be out in the streets asking people why they would vote for an administration that has allowed TWO major terrorist attacks happen on U.S. soil. Then follow up with, "He obviously isn't making this country any safer with his 'shot first, ask questions later' tactics."

6. Ridge *is* Clutch Cargo...

only his lips move, BTW that's how you can tell he's lying...

8. The thought of terrorist attacks

has never even crossed my mind when these little warnings come out. We're always at an elevated risk it seems, so why should I even be worried?

If something happens and I die, then so be it. Not like being afriad is going to stop the terrorists from blowing me away anyway.

9. you're more likely to be killed DRIVING to the soft target

just another low-odds risk that we add to our already risky lives.

11. The odds on 9-11

If 9-11 happened every day, your odds of being killed on any given day while traveling on an airliner would be about 1 in 6,000. If, however, there was only one 9-11 type event every other day, your odds of being killed on any one day would jump to 1 in 36,000.

As of today, your odds would be up in the 1 in billions range.

Americans are grossly overestimating their personal danger from terrorism. One of the lowest points was when Ridge was advising us to prepare your home with duct tape. All that was doing was upsetting the children.

10. Correlate terror announcements to the political misfortunes of this

administration. I think a graph that relates bad news events and HS announcements would be quite enlightening.
