Former Reagan Official: Bush May Stage False Flag Events To Reinstate Draft
Former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration Paul Craig Roberts has gone further than ever before, warning that the Bush administration could be about to stage false flag events and terror attacks in order to reinstate the draft, announce a dictatorship and attack Iran.

Roberts has been dubbed the "Father of Reaganomics" and is also a former editor and columnist for the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, and Scripps Howard News Service.

In his weekly syndicated column, Roberts suggests that unfolding events and the nature of the rhetoric emanating from government quarters suggests that a major staged terror attack could be just around the corner.
"Ask yourself: Would a government that has lied us into two wars and is working to lie us into an attack on Iran shrink from staging "terrorist" attacks in order to remove opposition to its agenda?" writes Roberts.

1. Go ahead bush...
I double fucking dare you to try re instating the draft. That would wake up the celebrity obsessed morons in America and be a fast track to massive street protests and impeachment.
Go ahead you piece of shit wanna be monkey boy king.

2. I think that drafting people who don't want to be drafted,
and giving them guns may not not work out well for the Bushies.

3. While i have trouble drumming up praise for the "Father of Reaganomics"...
...and WSJ editor, I do have to thank him for "taking the tinfoil" off this suggestion.

PCR can't be brushed off as a "Bush hating" lefty.

4. I wouldn't doubt it.
But when the real attack happens and * was too busy stroking himself with his "My Pet Goat" book to realize this "faux attack" stunt backfired, the masses will already be at the W.H. gate with nooses, torches and pitchforks.

7. That's what I wonder.
I think there are enough people in the military branch who would put a stop to Bush/Cheney if it came to this. But who knows, money and greed do strange things to people.

14. Operation Northwoods
and the old tweaked Nixon plans from '73 to seize Saudi, now Iraqi, oilfields,

Document reveals Nixon plan to seize Arab oil fields
'70s embargo sparked 'last resort' measure, says British memo
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2004/01/02/MNG8G427D61.DTL

and the 'Permanent Bases'
http://www.fcnl.org/iraq/bases.htm

should make you pause when you hear Bush lie about 'standing down' when Iraqis stand up.

How many more lies are they going to tell us ?

12. The "Surge" is really predeployment for an Iran attack it seemstome
PNAC and Cheney's minions are on to their next adventure. With the SCOTUS stacked with Alito and Roberts, who rubberstamped REX84 and the other executive orders allowing for martial law, we have the table set.

18. I want the draft reinstated TODAY
100% suffrage, no deferments, and that means everyones' son and daughter.

Including Young Republican Chickenhawks. No deferments to finish business school.


The riots would start the next day. And the war without end would stop by the end of the week.

19. Start with the Bush daughters
and also every draft-age kid from Congress peoples' families. As long as it continues to be rust-belt, farms and ghettos that are supplying the "volunteer" cannon fodder, people/parents/voters won't wake up.

30. Absolutely! I ran this by my liberal attorney neighbor (who has two sons, BTW) and he
just about had a cow. I told him I want to see folks in the streets and this is just the move to make it happen!

20. Sometimes I think the only way to end the Iraqi fiasco is a draft.
Once the chickenhawks are forced to show up for a physical, policy will change.

21. I fear a self induced nuclear strike on San Francisco. Liberals + gays = perfect target for Chimp.
I'm not joking.

I think they'll blow up San Francisco.

28. Two days ago, Bush put out a new Presidential Order.
Two days ago, Bush put out a new Presidential Order.



If I read it correctly,( WHICH I MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE ..CAN OTHERS READ IT AND TELL ME IF I AM RIGHT?) he basically gives himself the right to take away the property of anyone who opposes the war in Iraq, and do it without any warning whatsoever.



Excerpt:

(c) the term "United States person" means any United States citizen, permanent resident alien, entity organized under the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction within the United States (including foreign branches), or any person in the United States.

(B) undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq or to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people;

Sec. 5. For those persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, I find that, because of the ability to transfer funds or other assets



instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of measures to be taken pursuant to this order would render these measures ineffectual. I therefore determine that for these measures to be effective in addressing the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13303 and expanded in Executive Order 13315, there need be no prior notice of a listing or determination made pursuant to section 1(a) of this order.
