Get your tinfoil hats out...
Edited on Wed Aug-10-05 09:09 PM by phusion
I have been thinking about this a lot lately.

For you MIHOP theorists out there...Think about this:

1) Bush's poll numbers are dropping. The 2006 election is looking a little grim for Rethugs.

2) The Neocons need a reason to act on Iran.

3) Bush is in a bit of a pickle with the Cindy Sheehan situation. It will be a big hit to his ego if he concedes and talks to her. On the other hand, he can't just ignore her and/or have her arrested. That would incense a lot of people and most likely drop his polling numbers even more.

So, what's the solution? Another attack on American soil...

It would give a reason for Bush to flee back to Washington and a reason to attack Iran.

I just have an uneasy feeling about what these thugs will do when backed into a corner.

Like I said, :tinfoilhat:

:shrug:

1. Go rent the DVD "What the Bleep do we know, Anyway"
And you'll see why it's very important not to visualize such a negative scenario.

:hi:

5. Yeah, most of the time I can't help it either.
My whole body is covered in tin-foil. But I just saw the movie on Monday, and it blew my mind. Especially the part with the photos of the water droplets.
:)

7. Will tin-foil protect against the radiation?

14. It's a scene in "What the Bleep do we know?" that takes place
in a bus station - there are these amazing photos. The photographer spoke certain words into water and then photographed the molecules with a high-powered super-duper microscope. The water formed into different crystalline shapes depending on the words. For example the "Love" formed one beautiful snowflake-like pattern, the word "Beauty" a different one. Then to contrast, one photo shows the pattern of water reacting to the words "I hate you and I'm going to kill you" and there is this disordered mess of a pattern.

These are real photos. In the scene, the dialog goes something like, "Most of our bodies are comprised of water. Imagine how our bodies are affected when we say/hear words like this". I'm butchering the scene but it's amazing. This is a 2-thumbs up movie.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

I immediatly thought about how we DUers can still oppose the neo-cons, but without pumping so much negative thought energy into the universe which no doubt feeds or nourishes them in some perverse way.

4. I think the attack you will see will be Karl Rove;
and some of the most disgusting rhetoric you've ever heard.

6. yeah, I already posted another thread on this awhile back...
unfortunately, it was locked for some reason, probably because the grief I was given by other DU member.

and, I unfortunately think we may be right, if someone doesn't stop it.

12. people have been tracking military exercises to figure out when/where
This is sort of old news. I'm getting a hold of whatever consulates I can tomorrow so I can get out of the blast radius of whatever Cheney's plotting to do to us.
