Tinfoil prediction RE: FISA issue

[burythehatchet]

The extension expires tonight.

In time for the November election, a "domestic event" is engineered by Cheney. The quick and efficient investigation reveals that calls from overseas could have been intercepted and the plot could have been prevented...but the Democrats let the bill expire...

Come on, admit it's entirely possible.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

1. No, Shrub allowed it to expire and the blame goes squarely on him for trying to protect his telcom

buddies. Period.

[CrispyQ]

8. But the MSM won't report it that way

& overworked middle class Americans won't/can't take the time to investigate on their own what really happened.

WE NEED OUR FUCKING MEDIA BACK!!

WE NEED CORPORATE MONEY OUT OF OUR ELECTORAL PROCESS!!

God, we need so fucking much & get so fucking little.

Ack!

Too many drinks on a Friday night. Perhaps I should ban myself from DU. At least for on night.

10. Exactly

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

15. CrispyQGirl, I share your frustration and anger and don't drink. Although it

is all so painful, please don't lose your passion. Once we stop feeling that passion, we truly lost and the "evildoers" have won. :hug:

[CrispyQ]

16. It is so close.

The loss of passion, the loss of caring.

Apathy.

You have a lovely group of cat friends! Mine keep me connected to that which is really human.

I haven't lost all hope yet. :hug:

2. It's possible

but the original law is still in effect. They could get a warrant for the wiretap if they needed it. It would make them guilty of an attack on the US if that happened. I don't think they'd risk it. I think they want to get out of Dodge as clean as possible.

7. Hey, thanks for the reminder about Skinner for Congress.

I'm going to give her at least $5 right now.

:hi: Pats...

NGU.

[Patsy Stone]

23. Hey!

Go, Nancy! :hi:

3. This is like Clancy writing of using commercial airplanes as weapons.

Anything that can be imagined, can be perpetrated by these evil f%$#s.

[burythehatchet]

5. you're correct

I gotta stop PNTWS

[malaise]

4. But but but

The phone companies will not have immunity. The fact is they still can intercept calls but the phone company cannot wiretap Dems and assume immunity. Bush and Cheney are so fucked. Do not be fooled.

[Gman]

6. Completely possible and probably likely

but then I expected some kind of a staged attack before the GE in 2006 rather than let the Democrats take back Congress.

[NanceGreggs]

9. Sorry, no sale ...

BushCo's window of opportunity for staging a "domestic event" expired long ago. After seven-plus years of screaming that only a GOPer in the WH will keep the terraists at bay will go out the window - and right before an election.

Should anything untoward happen at this point, BushCo will be blamed for allowing it to happen.

12. I love when you post because

I get to see a pic of Molly. :)

11. I assume that they told these telecoms that they had proved the legality

and/or they would never be caught and even if they did they were making inroads on our judges and courts and could easily toss out trials by jurty, if necessary. In other words, they had a vision of infallibility and they had their arrogance that they successfully passed to some telecoms.

The trouble is that they put a not brillian friend of George in there and a wilding fanatic Yoo and an affirming group of old time lawyers (maybe).

Then they took rookie lawyers from Robertson's LaW School and combined them with Rove and Rovians to take care of U.S. Attorney's. But it failed. Not bright enought. Not experienced enough. And a female U.S. Atty to got things started in standing up for truth.

They even tried to put George's female lawyer on the Supremem Court.

Big mistakes and without a from a usually succescoun ceilfrlTheyNo one tries to defend anything anymore with easy words like the President can hire and fire U.S. Attys at will or at his pleasure.

They needed a Rovian legal department to carry it all off and they didn't have one. Delusional Yoo? "That-was-an-answer?-Gonzales'.

Those poor little telecoms got caught in a trap - the plan of rule and control and some payments to make it worthwhile didn't work out. And the result? A version of shock and awe plus PLOP.

[JDPriestly]

13. Don't worry. They will get the surveillance they want,

and the Democrats will make a deal just to avoid blame for the possibility you have theorized about.

[leftofthedial]

14. what we need is a pearl harbor-type event

[HCE SuiGeneris]

17. !

where have I heard that before... :freak:

wonder if they can orchestrate luck into another such "timely" event

[KoKo]

18. I'm thinkin' it's that "Rogue Sattelite" that's floating around they want to shoot down

but...it could be anything. We just have to wait....ugh.

[spanone]

19. more than plausible

[SalviaBlue]

20. Would Bush engineer a "domestic event"?

Is the Pope Catholic?

21. Something interesting,

CapitolNews.org has a poll on their site asking:

Would the expiration of temporary warrantless wiretapping law damage U.S. national security?

Right now the results are:

• yes = 26%
• No = 74%
• Total Votes = 1679

Unless this gets Freeped badly it strongly suggests that people ain't buying Bu$h's fear mongering.

22. That same thought crossed my mind! n/t

[shadowknows69]

24. Watch the TV series "Jericho" if you want to know how this might play out.

I think the writers of that show are trying to warn us.
