Nah. I'm gellin'.
And telling.
The use of "Panic as a Distraction" is a frequent tactic of choice by the Bush Administration.
Or, as so deemed by MSNBC's Keith Olbermann of Countdown fame...just good ole, Grade A Terror Politics.
Funny how terror alerts just happen to coincide with major events that cause Americans to turn off American Idol, place thinking caps on heads and ponder, "Hey, what the heck is going on here?"
The Lieberman loss is just one example.
Switch from Dancing with the Stars to CNN.
Thinking cap adjusted. Cerebellum engaged. Focus.
"Hey, what the heck???? Lieberman lost? What? When? Who? How?"
Zoink.
Twenty-four British citizens accused of planning massive suicide missions against U.S.-bound airplanes arrested.
Terror Alert. Incite high level fear among traveling U.S. citizens. Worry loved ones waiting at home. All eyes view 24 hour news coverage.
Brainwash airline crowd into turning over carry-on items and do so with minimal resistance.
Make-up, contact lens solution, Rogaine, water, breastmilk, wine, wine, and more wine transform airport wastebaskets into a homeless person's Quickie Mart.
Lieberman who?
One sticky little point.
Many of these "terrorists" had no passport OR plane tickets. According to a high level British official, an attack was not imminent.
The coup de grace? Apparently the U.S. pressured the Brits to "take down" the no-passport, no-airline ticket suspects.
To quote an aviation source close to this blogger: "For that, the whole world was shut down."
Bush issued the same tired rebuttal that accompanies any criticism outside his bubble of his world called,"YES, Mr. Bush. Whatever you decide, Mr. Bush."
Deny, kiss up, distract, war on terror, feign solidarity, bring plotters to justice, protect the children, thousand points of light, red, white, and blue, wave flag, stay the course, weapons of mass destruction, blah, blah, blah.
Ever heard of psychological terrorism?
You-we-I-All...
...have been victimized by the Prez and all the Prez's men...the very same team who wrote the book on "Breaking Federal Law for Dummies."
Political hypnotism. Psychologically abused.
Or in plain simple English.
You've been fooled, fool.
What's next? Yellow stars sewn to our clothes?
Thread your needle with this.
Time to get gellin'.
And telling.
We're fed up and not taking this anymore.
Update!
And TSA doesn't get why women don't wish to check their carry-on bags..............
10,000 bags misplaced at airports
 Many passengers are still waiting to get their luggage back |

If the intent of the government was to get us all scared and unified to fight terrorism, I for for one, am convinced. I am terrified and I admit it. I am terrified by a government who can so easily get its citizens to duck and cover each time the government tells us the sky is falling. I don't question that the bad guys out there were in the process of planning something hideous. But after 2 days of screaming "the sky is falling, the sky is falling", we learn that several of these bad guys hadn't even obtained passports yet? For anyone who has attempted to get a passport, do you remember how long it took? Four weeks. Six weeks? And that was with all of the proper identification and a squeaky clean background. No airline tickets had been purchased. The police knew where the bad guys were 24 hours a day as demonstrated by the quick round-up of the suspects when the US Government demanded immediate action. That was a sufficient reason to immediately change the threat level at airports and require passengers to throw away hundreds of thousands of dollars of personal items? Countless flights cancelled and passengers stranded? We, "the sheep", bought it again. We, "the sheep" were interviewed on the national news at airports and quoted as saying, "I don't mind, if it means I will be safer". Yup, gotta admit I am now terrified. The government has proven that they can herd us all into the same pen and keep us frightened, and therefore, in their control.
Good post.
