Could an attack on one of OUR leaders be possible...

I'm referring to the Democratic Party! I don't know why, but I feel there is a plan afoot to assassinate at least one of our party's leaders.
Remember who all the anthrax was aimed at...DEMOCRATS! This is a theory I haven't seen given consideration here, and it certainly is a possibility!
Personally...I fear for Ted Kennedy...the "Bastion of Liberalism" as I've heard him called! Knowing how much the Fascists despise us Liberals, it would stand to reason that he would be a likely target.
By the way, there is an interview with Teddy in the current issue of Rolling Stone magazine.

The Ted Offensive

Last September, when Senator Edward M. Kennedy termed President Bush's invasion of Iraq a fraud "made up in Texas" that "was going to be good politically", the world took notice. Here was the ultimate insider, godfather to the only political clan in America more famous than the Bush's and a man who routinely boasts of reaching across the partisan divide, sounding off like some fiery backbencher. A few months later, Kennedy struck again. In an April 5th speech at the Brookings Institution in Washington D.C., Kennedy all but branded the president a serial liar who conceals the radical nature of his agenda with misinformation and empty promises.

like, more anthrax, perhaps?

:shrug:

Republican-Fascist party as intending to do serious harm. As they did to Teddy's brother's...and you'll NEVER convince me that the Reich Wing didn't have a hand in both!

nothing

:grr:

You mean like that? I'll be suspicious if the next 'terrorist' attack only manages to hit Dem strongholds and interests.

nut jobs.

Hateful bastards one and all.

on the slaughter of JFK that can be found at http://www.jmasland.com Mr. Masland has put a lot of time, effort and research into it!

Now that he's pulled ahead of Bush, he's a target by the right wing nut jobs. Also, I'm worred about the Dem. Convention.

but think they would relish attacking the "central nervous system" of our party...so to speak! Mass disruption and confusion and causing us to focus elsewhere is what they enjoy the most, I believe!

They'll claim that anyone who considers the Republicans responsible is a conspiracy theorist. The Dems will let them kill every last Democrat before waking up.

The following article is a must read.

American Coup d'État?
by Clayton E. Cramer
History Today, November 1995

'A curious footnote to American history suggests that, except for the personal integrity of a remarkable American general, a coup d'état intended to remove President Franklin D. Roosevelt from office in 1934 might have plunged America into civil war.

Only The San Francisco Chronicle took the story more seriously... it carried an Associated Press story headlined, "Justice Aids Probe Butler Fascist Story." The first five paragraphs were devoted to Butler's allegations.

The Chronicle quoted the Committee report that it "was able to verify all the pertinent statements by General Butler, with the exception of the direct statement suggesting creation of the organization."

It's occurred to me that a situation that might cause martial law in the United States - a major terrorist attack, maybe? - might result in the postponement of elections in this country. Given the significant opposition in the military to the strategies of the current administrtation's political arm, coupled with its obvious and painful lack of military expertise, it has occurred to me that the result of such a suspension of rule of Constitutional law here might well be a military coup - to restore the Constitution, rather than dispose of it.

Hopefully it will not fall to our own military to hunt down, bring to bay, and finally remove the jackals and scissorbills currently haunting the executive branch. That's what ballot boxes are supposed to be for. (Unfortunately, many of those ballot boxes appear to have the name "Diebold" stamped on them!)

Thanks again, that was most edifying!

"War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses. I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we'll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag. I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.
There isn't a trick in the racketeering bag that the military gang is blind to. It has its "finger men" to point out enemies, its "muscle men" to destroy enemies, its "brain men" to plan war preparations, and a "Big Boss" Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism. It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. I spent thirty- three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service. I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested. During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents." -- Smedley Butler

What better way to cancel a election like a "national tragedy" of a Senator/Pres. Candidate assassinated!

This has been keeping me up at nights for about a month now!

Especially since he seems very open on the campaign trail.

Dean, Gore, Kucinich

Shoot, we could dig up dear old Tip O'Neill, stick him in the Oval office, and proceed to play "Weekend at Bernie's" for four years with him, and still have better and more effective leadership. And much more coherent and intelligent speeches, too. (By the way, you think that might be what's actually being done with the current brain-dead White House show-tune-crooner in chief?)

Successful?

Public figures, espiacially leaders, are all protected as well as possible. Does that preclude an attempt? No. Does that preclude a successful attack? Yes, somewhat.

They understand that.

There is no doubt that Democratic Party Leaders were intimidated and threatened by the Anthrax Letters that were sent to them. They were targetted, my only question is why were no arrests made in this, and why brush it off in the press as well. Whether the GOP bears ultimate responsiblity is up for question, however the fact that nothing came of the investigation is troubling to say the least.

Wellstone? Just wondering cause the last two cycles saw plane crashes. Could it happen again?
