Winter Patriot:

I agree, better safe than sorry. I believe the only way to "out" our government as being complicent in "fake terrorist" attacks, then blaming the Arabs, is to beat them to the punch. Then, if it happens, we have documentation that we predicted it, and this will lead to their "outing". This is actually a great idea.

It's like a great philosopher said, "I'd rather believe in God and be wrong, than not believe in God and be wrong."

It's hedging your bet. If we're wrong, great! If we're afraid of being labelled "tin foil hat" theorists by those who don't want bloggers to out the government, then we shouldn't be blogging! Let's just go lock, stock, and barrel with the mainstream media and "react", instead of lead the charge.

Maybe our government will start monitoring internet chatter instead of fake terrorist chatter.

Another fake government story. The guy shot in Britain wasn't wearing a bulky coat, wasn't running, wasn't disobeying orders, and may in fact have been sitting down when shot.

There's something going on that "ain't right"!!! I know that...

If we are all fools then so be it! So what? I can take my licks for being foolish can't you? ...but if there is a remote chance we will be victimized from within by our own, then I'm screaming it out. Whether today, tomorrow or next month matters not. The fact is there are those that want this for us. Desperately.

I too have been reading everything I can find about this leadup, both the actions and the words. I argue that if you have been paying attention these past 40 years then you know in your heart there can be no other agenda and no other result, but the complete destruction of America and it's peoples. For scattered within the history of this country are the elements, the events and the faces of power-mongers against all humanity. They are all here now.

Take a good long objective look at our society. Where and how it began and the course upon which we were willingly led. Take a good long objective look at our leaders and our role in holding them accountable to the people. Take a good long hard look at the financial systems put in place by our keepers and explain to me how we each benefit. Who is in control? Who are the sole benefactors? Take a good long hard look at our Constitution and explain to me what remains of this document, and indeed what remains of our rights. Now call me a fear monger. Now call me a fool. Now call ME and YOU both, insane.

My advice? Stay alert and prepare to be totally on your own. Trust no one but your closest family and friends. Form small, diverse, skilled groups of those you trust with your life, and those only. Lead a moral life throughout and we will be rewarded with the peace and honor we seek, and were promised from the beginning.

Had we only wanted it for ourselves then...

One more thing or two before I depart...

A Patriot is willing to defend the Constitution from ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. Nothing more, nothing less, not ever. All other definitions of a Patriot are false.

Determination is everything for success and survival. Don't ever give up no matter the task, no matter what. Remember that word and use it.

DETERMINATION

With love and respect - Torqued

The way I see it is this: the rats know that more and more people are onto them. There is one, final, violent step left in this drama for them, one act of desperation left. Thank God that there is increasing vigilance on the part of patriots.

If I've learned one thing over the past 4 plus years it is this: each Generation is the Greatest Generation, because each generation has to champion and win the Constitution anew.

I hope we are all fools. But the buzz even on the main stream media indicates that something is going on. Remember last weeks terror alert on 3 major cites, new york, la, and chicago. They said a gas tanker may be used. Well what about a dirty bomb gas tanker, or nuke. 11:07 AM... 8/18/05....our generation still yet undefined....

Charlie, I do not think we are undefined. I think the election of 2004 defined us. I think that it put us on the side of evil (I'm sorry, but that is my opinion). We gave up our Democracy and our Constitution in 2004.

In my opinion.

But the good news is that maybe we can turn all that around. Maybe it's not too late. I don't think it's too late. I'm hopeful.

Phil #6 -

I don't know which your and Charlie's generation is - but I do know one thing: WE DID NOT LOSE THE 2004 ELECTION!! It was stolen and then steamrollered into fiat but very dangerous, very powerful goons with a deadly agenda. We're looking at that agenda now.

Don't assume the complicity of the American people in what is going on - even complicity by stupidity or carelessness or whatever. We have been kidnapped. Now we just have to stay sane and focused enough - and LOVING enough - to put a stop to this before it really IS too late for the world and the human species.

Cornered animals have a tendency to lash out. That's what worries me about this post. Poll numbers dropping like an anvil in a "Road Runner" cartoon. Stay alert. Stay vigilant. Pray.

Phil,

I'd say that Democracy died in December 2000 when the Supreme Court gave these criminals the keys to the White House.

And, at that time, we had only been afraid that we lost an election to a thief.

Now, we see the real criminal intent. It may be today, tomorrow, next week, month or year.

But it's coming and the criminals warned us in late 2001 that an even bigger and more destructive attack has a nearly 100% chance of occuring.

Now we see that was a threat, not a prediction.

God Help Us All.

I think it may be just about time to pack up and move to South America.

Peg, I think that however you slice it, the people of America have been complicit with the direction the country has gone in, especially recently. To say that is not to not love. Nor is it to deny hope. Nor is it to deny that there has been a lot of deception and coercion that has played a role. It's not even to blame.

Mr. Bluesky, I hear you. Whenever I think about picking up and leaving the USA, I remember that this is my country too. Leaving is something I've thought about often in the past, as at one time I had a dual citizenship of some kind and a situation I could have gone to that in some ways would have been much more conducive to who I want to be and what I want to do. But the pull of country is so strong. Who will make it better if not we?

I hear you about 2000. A friend of mine often comments that the last real President we had was Carter. Perhaps Carter sent a fright into the world of high finance and industry, because he seemed to be suggesting that the actual needs of the nation might be more important than the financial interests of industry (to whit, he wanted to start a fund to build up alternative energies, a fund that might have been as very threatening by the energy industry, for starters).

Arguably, at that point, the powers that be decided that enough was enough, Democracy made nice decoration, but what mattered was getting the reins firmly in hand.

One thing's for sure - they seem to have those reins firmly in hand now. And if they do, I hope that the American People will at least decide that if we have to go down, at the very least, we won't go down easy and we won't go down quietly.

Well, more war games between Russia and China, also going on today:

Anyone know about this?

The mention of Carter and his alternative fuels programs brings to mind President Carter's jab at the oil cartel back in the seventies. The Oil cartel was raping the American people with their "Peak Oil" scams creating long lines and rising prices at the pump and Jimmy slapped them with a "Windfall Profit Tax". Of course they destroyed him politically but at the very least Carter showed our generation who was orchestrating the troubles.
Now it is the new Millenium and courtesy of the oil cartel we get this bogus "War on Terror", that is closing down oil production in the Middle East creating scarcity. By using the same "Peak Oil" scam did the oil banksters think, using fake president Smirk, we wouldn't recognize their seventies play book?

Getting close to the time now, hope this isn't going to go down

Did Carter actually start alternative fuels programs? My impression was that he didn't get much further than proposing them and that the only one that made much headway was the use of coal, as opposed to oil, which of course was to the energy industry's advantage.

Well? Nothing happened, right? I should check the other links.

During the Carter administration the mechanisms of government were used to promote and fund private and public alternative fuel development, Many alternative technologies were seeded with government funds and were true economic threats to the Oil Cartel. After Carter was canned government promotion of these initiatives bit the dust. The solar cell technology was so promising that private funded research was recently purchased by BP.

I hope hope hope that we continue to be wrong on this subject. Can they really be that bad? If this happens, it would be the last desperate attempt to avoid RoveGate indictments and the impeachment to follow.

Anyone familiar with the agendas of not only PNAC but NWO (New World Order) will be convinced that we are NOT wrong about what the thugs WISH to do. They wish to thin our ranks and establish absolute world hegemony, a new feudal global empire. Never doubt the intent.

It just may not be as easy for them to accomplish as they imagine. Let's keep up the pressure!!!

One aspect of the equation is that they are, despite their boldness, cowards. And, in some karmic manner, they have renewed our patriotism and we have found our courage.
History is not on their side.
As an aside, the subway shooting in London seems like a "hit"--if the Venezuelan had seen something, knew something, could identify some guy in a suit who had orchestrated the bombings, they would of course have to make sure he was very dead.

Ft. Monroe / Charleston nuke drill in limbo
-- SYNTHETIC TERROR ALERT STILL RED --

(Total411.info) August 19 4am EDT --- Military source reports Ft. Monroe / Charleston SUDDEN RESPONSE 05 nuclear drill originally scheduled Wednesday, August 17th is still yet to occur. Further information from Charleston is developing.

Unbelievably, there is still a window for this thing to "go live."

Meanwhile, the Air Force is patrolling over the Army's Fort Monroe this week, under the predicate of "mosquito spraying."

And, curiously, authorities in San Francisco Thursday morning suddenly announced that port's participation in "terror exercises" involving mercenary corporate contractors. (Could the Golden Gate bridge be a backup target as those with itchy trigger fingers seek a spectacle to finally justify opening the gates to the nuclear weaponry so long denied them?)

Some new Navy phone numbers for folks who want to ask what's up in Charleston tomorrow:

NAVWEAPSTA: 843-764-7000
Branch Medical: 843-743-7800
Hospital appointments line --- 843-743-3709
Public Affairs: 843-764-4095
Personnel: 843-764-7431

I was out working in my gardens yesterday, walked into the kitchen at right about 2:30 to get some water, and the power went off..and within 30 seconds, the phone rang.

Now I should tell you that where I live, the power blinks off and back on at least two-three times a week (no idea why, just always been that way)

And the phone call was a return call from a neighbor.

But talk about timing...

Somebody key up that twilight zone music again.

Has anyone been able to confirm the "all military leaves are cancelled until Sept 7" thingie?

How convenient and surprising. Alfred now has reason to leave the the ranch and return to the castle, heats off Rove so overt tweaking can resume, Cheney returns to the lap top war zone, Byrnes is out, Jones is in, and Al Qaeda takes the blame.

Just a day late ... no worry here.

HEY!!

I'm not familiar with the San Francisco area at all - but is this weird timing or..... ??

AP) SAN FRANCISCO A fiery explosion from an underground utility chamber rocked a section of downtown Friday, burning a woman and shattering store windows, authorities said.

Kes, check out this Bradblog Comment on another thread

Kira - I saw that...now waiting to see what the official story about this explosion is. So far they're saying "cause undetermined".

Could be coincidence...but then again, I hope a lot of people are watching, just in case.

This is so unsettling.

I meant to comment earlier on your dream. Wow. It made me think of the new movie "War of the Worlds."

Heavy symbolism.

Since it's a repeating dream, I'd suggest meditating on it. And --- have you ever tried the dream therapy technique of writing down every dream you have as soon as you awaken? Keep paper & pencil beside the nightstand so it's right there. I did it for awhile and found that the longer I did this, the more dreams I had and remembered, and it became clearer what my dreams were saying to me.

UPDATE: Reuters is reporting that the source of the explosion was an underground transformer that blew up.

Sounds feasible to me - if you've ever heard or seen even a small transformer explode, they sound/look like a bomb going off.
