How are they going to back out of this "Terror Alert" now?

How long can they continue this particular charade? What will be the reason that it is "safe" again?

5. They gave themselves a 3 month window

on this terralert. They claim it could happen any time between now and the election, (how convenient) so buy your plastic sheeting and duct tape and hit the malls.

7. Yesterday, I heard Wolf say that just talking about the plot on TV could

stop the terrorists because now they know we are expecting it.

So when nothing happens, and I mean nothing... no arrests, nothing, THAT , I suppose, will be the reason.

CNN's saturation coverage stopped a terrarist attack.

8. Actually, I sorta expect a large financial institution headquarters to be

hit. With all the shenanigans starting to come out about large corporations, I'm thinking many powerful people would gain a margin of safety from prosecution if the paper trails of their wheelings and dealings were to get blown to smithereens. And any big hit would have the bunnies running for cover and giving up their rights for the empty promise of 'finding and punishing those who hate us and attack us'.

The list of those who hate and attack us includes some major corporations and the greed heads who run them.

When looking for culprits, one should never discount looking at who gains what when something big goes down.

11. "Heroic efforts by our intelligence agencies have thwarted.."

The same "intelligence" agencies that have done such a swell job in the past. You know, the ones that prevented 9/11, and the attack on the WTC, and Khobar Towers, and...and..
