BREAKING: Announcement
Edited on Wed Jul-25-07 03:14 PM by GTRMAN
:radio: :tv:

"Listen well. The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. The Emperor has permanently dissolved that misguided body. The last remnants of the Old Republic have now been swept away."

That is all, we now return to your normal programming... :radio: :tv:

3. thanks!!
I found the quote today but it didn't have who said it and I couldn't remember. It just seemed to fit so well, eerily so, with what's going on right now. :(

14. here it is
this is what I was reading that made the Star Wars quote seem so relevant today...

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/072407M.shtml



"I just can't believe they're going to deny a member of Congress the right of reviewing how they plan to conduct the government of the United States after a significant terrorist attack," DeFazio said.

Homeland Security Committee staffers told his office that the White House initially approved his request, but it was later quashed. DeFazio doesn't know who did it or why.

"We're talking about the continuity of the government of the United States of America," DeFazio said. "I would think that would be relevant to any member of Congress, let alone a member of the Homeland Security Committee."


that's because these menaces don't intend to include congress....I think congress probably falls more under the heading of "target" :grr:

19. exactly
I'm getting the sinking feeling that with all the false flag terror alerts, wired up blocks of cheese and now the revelation of a secret continuity plan that they won't let congress in on, this may well be the big set up to "sweep away the last remnants of the old Republic"...:scared:

Edited on Wed Jul-25-07 04:46 PM by alyce douglas

18. The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.
