Asthe fella once said.. when you lay down with Carville, you wake up with republicans.

I don't suspect the Republican strategists actually feel they can win enough votes to legitimately hold both houses of Congress in November, no matter what their strategy. What their likely goal is is to provide a cover story as to why, against all odds, so many voters supposedly voted for Republicans when they hack and steal the vote in November. Call me cynical, but I don't think they are counting on any "national day of reckoning".

The story will NOT go away because it has all the perfect elements for the MSM to "run with it": the "crazy personality" of an international leader, an "axis of evil" country, and nukes.

Look for the feds to run more "emergency preparedness ads" and for talk of "mushroom clouds" to pop up in their speeches more often.

The only rebutting frame is this:

The testing of a nuke by North Korea is simply another FAILURE of the Bush Administration. Clinton was able to keep them from developing a bomb, but Bush wasn't willing to try because he was too damn arrogant and spent his "political capital" in Iraq.

When you can't fight a story, be prepared to re-position it.

You're right. Far better we concentrate on sex scandals then to point out the hypocrisy of the cons claiming the security high road while allowing an 'Axis of Evil' to re-start the cold war under their watch. Silly me, I almost gave the public credit for being able to FINALLY see through this nonsense. Better we should just keep dumbing it down.

C'mon Brad, you of all people should know that the majority never really fell for this Roveian con job.

Let THEM talk about sex scandals that will lead no where or the missing white girl of the day. WE need to keep the discourse focused on the real issues and this is a REAL issue. The fact that Bush didn't make it a priority is just one more failing of this administration that needs to be pointed out from now until forever.

Bush will use this as another reason to attack Iran. Like his phony connection of Iraq with 9/11, Bush will connect N. Korea with Iran. Watch it unfold.

Notice, the MSM stories are lining up like deli-tickets: as soon as the Foley thing is a week old, right on cue North Korea nukes are in the corporate MSM after YEARS of ignoring it. Keep tabs on what's next BESIDES Susan Ralston resigning and revoking Habeus Corpus...

Notice, they release the Susan Ralston story on a FRIDAY, and the North Korean story on the FOLLOWING MONDAY!!! What will be this Friday's buried story and Monday's story to bury Friday's story???

They're playing the complicit corporate MSM like a fiddle!!!!!!!

Also, gas prices: they drop 30 days before an election, after YEARS of gouging us!!! Then on Nov. 8th, they will go back up...and the corporate MSM will say NOTHING about this...

I predicted here over a month ago, that gas prices would hit $1.99 right before the election. You probably thought I was "nuts"...well today I saw $2.19 right near where I work...

When it hits $1.99, the corporate MSM will blare all over the headlines on a MONDAY, "Gas at all time lows"...buring an Abramoff story, or some story like that........

Bush is already connecting North Korea and Iran, claiming that North Korea sells rockets and other weapons systems to Iran.

And here I was thinking it was the Russians doing that.

If the facts don't fit your story invent new ones.

Big Dan, your prophesy has come true. I paid $1.99/gallon this morning in Atlanta.

I think the general tenor of the the few weeks will sound like this.

Since Bush first identified North Korea as a member of the Axis of Evil, he has seen their nuclear weapons program as a threat to world security.

Bush says they'd better stop.

This reminds me of my sister inlaw who was always yelling "Stop!", but never getting up from the TV to make it happen. He husbands would say, "Kids, you'd better stop or she'll yell 'Stop!' again, and then you'll be sorry."

Heh, she only has one husband...

Steve #2: You hit it exactly! Plausible winnability.

Marty Kaplan gives a list of what to expect:

huffpo

4. Connect the dots: 9/11-Saddam-Kim Jung-il-gay marriage.

But he forgot Iran in the dot matrix.

And whaddya know, just in time for Halloween, we have a resurrected bogeyman. Let's see if Rove's favored bellweather of Halloween mask sales will come through for him again this time. Who will be most popular this year?

Remember during the 2004 campaign, when Bush derided Kerry for advocating bi-lateral talks with N. Korea, and instead Bush and Rice pushed their failed six-party talks instead? This wasn't important to them then, and I bet it is actually a non-issue to them now, beyond its campaign value.

Stacey, #4, it would seem that you're missing the point of Brad's post --- and falling into exactly the trap he describes. Don't allow the WhiteHouse to determine the topic of the day. It is to the neo-cons advantage to drag the media attention back to the topic of their choosing.

They don't have anything to run on at the moment because all of their other campaign strategies have failed, so they must resort to reviving the 'security' issue (and implicating Iran), and trying to scare the pants off everyone. And the tin-pot dictator of the North is more than happy to play along.

If this were an actual emergency, you can bet they wouldn't be talking about it. They never do.
How many times can BushCo cry wolf when they couldn't be bothered to care about N. Korea just last week? Perhaps we will hear again how the intelligence services failed to inform Bush of this new and improved "impending" "imminent" threat...

The day is but half over and already people are sying the NK bomb was probably a dud (that's good), but Kim Jong-Il's attitude is still contrary (that's bad) and the UN is about to make a big resolution condemning NK's disregard for world opinion (that's good) except the draft was delivered by John Bolton (that's bad) while Bush was thumping his chest (that's normal for Chimps). The Pundit Panjandrums sem to think neither the US nor Russia really has much influence in this situation (that's bad), but mainland China does (that's good and bad) as NK's primary source of food, but also as a big brother to an unruly little brother who has repeatedly defied China. The gestalt of this "crisis" doesn't offer much to the average bystander. It seems to me the good v bad clarity of the Foley Scandal will eventually prevail.

.

This matter, in combination with the Foley/Haster scandal, has taken the spotlight off the imminent nuclear attack on Iran. that's the one that will lead to the cancellation of elections and the implementation of Martial Law.

.

FALSE FLAG NUCLEAR WAR:

history...REPEATED?

Are we about to witness "USS LIBERTY II" and "9/11 - PART DEUX" all in the same attack?

Take 1 Israeli Submarine.

Place it off the coast of Iran.

Now position the USS Enterprise just outside the perimeter established by the Israeli sub.

The sub launches a nuclear tipped cruise missile at the Aircraft Carrier, vaporizing it in an instant - killing all 5,000 sailors on board ("worse than 9/11" - that's the key).

The Fleet Commander notifies the President that Iran has (apparently) just nuked the USS Enterprise.

The President declares a (FALSE FLAG) strike against our carrier to be no different that an attack against our soil, and clears the Israeli sub to launch what will appear to be a retaliatory strike against Iran, with a dozen nuclear missiles (all of which are pre-targeted using the targeting codes stolen by Israeli Spy Ariel Weinmann).

THINK IT CAN'T HAPPEN?

If the definition of "terrorism" includes threatening to cause harm to the population - to achieve political gain, Karl Rove is the number one terrorist on earth. Put Susan Ralston under oath and ask her how many terror alerts have been intentional false alarms designed to change the subject or "bury the lead."

When the recent London False Alarm caused every television in the US to feature the headline "TERROR IN THE SKIES," it was done with the specific intent to bury two other stories that broke hours later...that just happened to be about Israel: The AIPAC (Franklin) spy trial was NOT thrown out of court & US sailor, Ariel Weinmann, was arrested for transferring submarine secrets to Israel.

Considering Israel's nuclear-capable sub is about to unload on Iran, radio silence was required. No one heard these two stories, because the media was screaming about a nonexistent threat.Have you seen this?

Updated Saturday, September 30, 2006 3:04 PM EDT
IRAN WAR PLAN EXPOSED! PREPARE FOR THE SINKING OF A U.S. AIRCRAFT CARRIER – The USS Enterprise - CVN-65!
The existence of a hideous plan to sacrifice a U.S. Aircraft Carrier as a pretext for war with Iran is presently being uncovered!

The Hal Turner Show has been told that within the next five (5) weeks, the United States will "suffer" a missile attack upon the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, presently on patrol near the Persian Gulf. This attack will appear to be from numerous "Silkworm" and/or "Sunburn" missiles which will sink the vessel and kill most of the 5,000 crew onboard.

The "attack" will be blamed on Iran and thus provide the Bush
Administration with an excuse to go to war with that nation. The Hal Turner Show has learned that the missiles used to attack the USS Enterprise will not be fired from or by Iran, but rather will be a "false flag operation" made to LOOK as though Iran carried out the attack! The USS Enterprise is the worlds first nuclear powered aircraft carrier. It was Commissioned in 1961 and is due to be decommissioned in 2014 or 2015. The ship was selected to be the "victim" of this "attack" due to its age.

THOSE PLANNING THE ATTACK ARE INSIDE THE U.S. AND ISRAELI GOVERNMENTS and view the loss of the Enterprise crew as a necessary sacrifice to induce Americans to support war against Iran. Put bluntly, the ship and crew are to be cannon fodder. I am being fed more information and expect to be able to name names as to who is behind this plan. Check back often.

Here is the DRESS REHEARSAL for the sinking of the USS Enterprise:
http://www.usatoday.com/...06-05-17-ship-reef_x.htm

Aircraft carrier sunk in Gulf of Mexico to create artificial reef
Updated 5/17/2006 4:38 PM ETIN THE GULF OF MEXICO (AP) —
As hundreds of veterans looked on solemnly, Navy divers blew holes in a retired aircraft carrier and sent the 888-foot USS Oriskany to the bottom of the sea Wednesday, forming the world's largest deliberately created artificial reef. Clouds of brown and gray smoke rose in the sky after more than 500 pounds of plastic explosives went off. The rusted hulk took about 45 minutes to slip beneath the waves, about four hours faster than predicted.

VIDEO: Navy ship sunk to create reef:
Korean and Vietnam War veterans aboard charter boats watched from beyond a one-mile safety perimeter as the "Mighty O" went down in 212 feet of water, about 24 miles off Pensacola Beach.
Lloyd Quiter of North Collins, N.Y., who served four tours on the ship in Vietnam, wept. "I'm a little stunned. It's a little hard to take," he said.

AND WHY DID THEY FEEL THE NEED FOR THE DRESS REHEARSAL? BECAUSE WHEN THEY TRIED IT A YEAR EARLIER, IT TOOK 25 DAYS TO SINK THE USS AMERICA WITH HIGH EXPLOSIVES!
http://www.cdnn.info/news/industry/i050522a.html
USS America 1048-ft aircraft carrier sunk off North Carolina powered by CYBER DIVER News Network.
NORTH CAROLINA (22 May 2005) --- The retired aircraft carrier USS America is on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, sunk by the Navy in a series of explosive tests that upset some veterans.

The 84,000-ton, 1,048-foot warship that served the Navy for 32 years rests about 60 miles off the coast and more than 6,000 feet down, according to Pat Dolan, a spokeswoman for Naval Sea Systems Command.

She did not give a location, but the Navy previously said the explosions would take place off North Carolina. With the country (intentionally?) distracted by a sex scandal, and Rove's REAL October Surprise imminent, it's time to shift the focus back to Iran. The ONLY thing that would justify the cancellation of elections and the declaration of Martial Law would be a "Nuclear Crisis." The only thing that will prevent Bush's entire cabinet from going to prison is the cancellation of elections.

A FALSE FLAG attack on a US Naval vessel would be declared the equivalent of an attack on US soil. This would "justify" Israel attacking Iran with Sub-launched nukes. Keep in mind, both the sinking of the US vessel and the purported retaliatory strike could all come from one Israeli sub. As described above, it's tough to sink an aircraft carrier. Apparently the only way to ensure that there are no witnesses (see USS Liberty incident) is to vaporize it with a mini-nuke. Did we send any to Israel in the recent delivery?

The "terrorists" are in the White House - and run the Propaganda machinery. What did Ralston and Abramoff know about false terror alerts, and when did they know it? How many other Republicans know that the terror threats are MANUFACTURED? How many others know that 9/11 was an inside job that Cheney ran through NORAD? How many know that GHW Bush is the ACTUAL President, and everything we are being put through is specifically designed to cover the trail of his own criminality?

Assume that nearly every Congressman and Senator is being blackmailed. Once you see the ability of Israel (Comverse) to wiretap every phone, and realize that only men of low moral character are allowed to enter the political arena (through the
AIPAC filter), it becomes crystal clear how the US Congress was effectively neutered.

The truth is the only cure for blackmail.

Expose it all...URGENTLY.

It's time for the US Navy to step forward, and neutralize the Israeli sub and stop this madness.

.

Me thinks we're gonna hear a lot from Kim Jung Mentally Ill.
Have a nice day!

Rove is undoubtedly already planning Bush's prime time speech concerning North Korea. And, of course, the networks will televise it live.

How the Bush administration let North Korea get nukes.

By Fred Kaplan

It is a timeline of the US-NK diplomacy and confrontations from 1989 to the present. Mr. Kaplan cites names, dates and places.

http://www.washingtonmon...es/2004/0405.kaplan.html

It may prove of use when you argue how Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld enabled NKs development of atomic weapons.

Need we forget the Bushit administration has reversed over 200 environmental laws!!! Congressional Republicans are out campaigning on the exploits of this fascist criminal regime into how well they have protected us from the likes of Iraqii terrorism since Bush bombed and attack their country based on distorted evidence and Bushit lies but truth is contrary to their Bushit story.

King Bushit/Cheney/Rumsfelf words of victory in which the people of Iraq would reward us with oil in exchange for our style of a Bushit Amerikkkan Democratic form of government should be enough for these murderous warmongers to face INTERNATIONAL criminal charges..but NOOOOOOOO!

The reality is US soldiers are targets, the Iraquii people want us to leave, and now these other forces have a reason for their cause. To retaliate by returning the favor by killing American civilians.

The Bushit administration has a full scale plan to sell off our formerly protected Western wild lands and forests to this oil barron's developer cronies and big oil companies. This includes trying to add a plan to dig in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge AGAIN to pass by attaching it to some sort of budget package.

This will harm the people and animals that live there but it will possibly lower the price of gas at the pumps 1 penny in 15 years. Lastly the Bushit stance on the human caused Global Warming Crisis is one of DENIAL. We have to 2 years to significantly lower the carbon dioxide level or over 1 million species will become extict in a massive climate change which will take place in about 45 years.

The US which is the worst energy waster and CO2 producer is still telling Americans to buy cars the size of a small house on the TV as opposed fact that polar bears are swimming 80 miles in ocean water looking for ice to land on because it all f*cking melted due to the polar ice caps warming. All the other animals depend on the food polar bears kill to survive as well.

U can get the weather on any corporate owned NEWS station but DO NOT expect to hear the truth about our fragile atmosphere in crisis or what we should be doing to SAVE IT>

The story of NK is an important one, but it is NOT one that the Republicans can use for two reasons. First, it points to FAILURE on the part of the administration, as they did NOT manage to contain NK from getting a bomb. Second, it is a COMPLEX story and that doesn't play well with the low-intelligence population they need to appeal to.

From Rove's limited POV, it looks like a good story because it about an "outside threat" and therefore plays into the "Republicans will protect us" meme. Problem is, traction is running thin on that story and Americans are starting to figure out that was a big lie.

Now, it could be a good SET-UP for a bigger story, as some of the earlier posts suggest, but BY ITSELF, it's not sexy or simple enough to stay in the news cycle more than a few days.

Rove and the neo-con madmen running this show must have better stuff in the wings than $1.99 gas and "nuts with nukes."

Even "War with Iran" might not play out as victories for Republicans in local elections, as many Americans are "war weary" and just because it's a new war, doesn't make it any less unappetizing. Mind you, if they use it as an excuse to suspend the elections, then that's a whole new ball of wax --- welcome to 1938.

NO COMMENT

Just trying to find out how many more people are involved with Foley and his PERVERTED ways.

Meanwhile, anytime those RepubliCONs bring up something so long ago (Studds) in order to defend Foley instead of the children, why don't we ask them:

OK now is the perfect time to answer this question: What the heck was Jeff Gannon, the gay whore doing in the White House visiting so many times now?

NO answer, means they are HIDING something!

FUNME,.. Comment # 23,..

Madsen Report - October 9,2006 that this Rethug/Neocon
pedophile/pervert - "FAMILIES VALUES" Godless heathen crowd maybe in for some more bad press,.. worse than the Foley debacle.

Kolbe of Az.who has publicly acknowledged he is gay had congressional pages at his Wash. D.C. house for parties back in 2000 and 2001,.. with Foley as co-host. Hastert and his chief of staff Powers,.. who live together in Wash. D.C.,.. frequented Abramoff hotel sex parties in Washington. They also made multiple trips together to the Grand Mariana Islands,.. Thailand,.. and Vietnam - which are notorious child sex hot spots. Evidently prior to the election these stories will be released in detail - the shit has not yet hit the political fans.

These self professed angels of holier than thou Republican are 10x the demonic heathens the Democrats could ever imagine being.

Rarely is the question asked

How many hands have I shaked?

You're not the only one who thinks aircraft carriers will be involved in something REALLY, REALLY SCARY!

VERY SOON!

Wouldn't it be easier to just arrest Karl Rove first. That is, before he KILLS US ALL AND THEN TURNS THE GUN ON HIMSELF!

Very good!

911 JUDGMENT of GOD

Does anyone doubt 911 as the JUDGMENT of GOD upon AMERICA, and the NATIONS of the WORLD? Read on now; writes Ivor Manuel, Branch of the Lord.

Yesterday 10/22/06 Associated Press published the following story: NEW YORK – Searchers found more bones believed to belong to Sept. 11 World Trade Center attack victims Sunday in manholes and utility areas, areas that apparently were overlooked years ago…

Utility and city officials have excavated more than five hundred areas, yielding more than 100 pieces of human remains, since construction workers discovered bones earlier in the week in a manhole excavated as part of work in a transit hub…

The medical examiner’s office said 18 pieces of remains were found Sunday. The bones found thus far range from tiny fragments to recognizable bones from the sculls, torso, feet and hands. Some are as large as whole arms and legs bones…

Now read the WORD of the LORD by Prophet ISAIAH chapter 34: 1, 2, 3, 4. For the LORD shall accomplish His purpose according to the WORD by His prophets; writes Ivor Manuel.

“Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken ye people; let the Earth hear, and all that is therein; the World and all things that come forth of it. For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and His fury upon all their ARMIES; He hath utterly destroyed them; He has delivered them to the slaughter. THIR SLAIN also SHALL BE CAST OUT, and THEIR STINK SHALL COME UP OUT of their CARCASES, and the MOUNTAINS SHALL BE MELTED (mountains in Afghanistan) with their BLOOD. And all the Host of Heaven shall be dissolved, and the Heavens shall be rolled together as (Tsunami, Earthquakes and Hurricanes) a scroll; and all their entire host (idols of America and the World) shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.”

Now, read the WORD of the LORD given to Ivor Manuel prophet, and published before the Presidential elections of 2004, in his Web Page named {Ed Note: Not even, Ivor. --99}

End of page 4 and part of page 5 of 22 pages:

Then from there; JESUS the son of man; The MESSIAH SON of GOD; The HIGHEST PRIEST and PROPHET of the prophets; ALEUZENEV; HIS NEW NAME (Revelation 3:12); Our HEAVENLY BROTHER whom is set down with OUR FATHER in HIS THRONE; spoke saying to HIS brother: “Write all that I AM saying in your ears; that MY sheep may read and understand MY FATHER’S WORD, and also hear MY VOICE in their ears; to understand “The COVENANT of PEACE and ETERNAL LIFE.” And HIS prophet opened the LORD’S BOOK of REVELATION given to HIS servant; Saint JOHN THE DIVINE 2:23 and read HIS Written WORDS: “And I will kill her children with death [JEZEBEL’S children, those who idolized their own FREDOM, Statue of Liberty, Goddess of Liberties; worshipers of Baal god of material images from the church of THYATIRA]; and all the churches shall know that I AM He whom searches the rains and the hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your Works.”

Thereon, the prophet recalled December of 1998; after President Clinton had been impeached by the House of Representatives, and before the Senate of the United States would vote on February 12, 1999, Year of Our LORD, to either remove or leave the President in office. The following testimony of JESUS was dictated to HIS brother Ivor Manuel (prodigal son); by HIM; The SPIRIT of PROPHESY. The testimony was published in a tourist magazine named ORIENTATION; and was read by people all over the World visiting Orlando; and few shall know, they were blessed with this knowledge during their visit to Florida. It was titled, “KING and COURT vs. the people;” and it is written: “Raising the consciousness of the planet is the job of the King (Establish Morality and Peace by the WORD of GOD), but the King is a liar (then, President Bill Clinton) and teaches immorality and adultery to the people. The King has broken The Law of the land and that of Heaven. He has lied to his people and murdered his brothers [lies about adultery and bombing of Baghdad during Ramadan] as they prayed. The House has judge the King and found him guilty (Impeachment by the House), but the King and his court (The President and Senators that voted against his Impeachment) believe he is above The Law. The King is arrogant, his court is in darkness and they blind the people with the veil of money and idolatry to the host of impurity. The speaker of the House has shown the way and has asked the King to follow in the way of constriction (resign as President), but the King and his court will not yield to the wisdom of repentance. Therefore the people (common people must raise a voice against the President and the Congress) must raise the consciousness of the King and his court. The people who say: “In GOD we TRUST,” must follow The Consciousness of Light (CHRIST’S CONSCIOUSNESS) and punish the King. If the people fail to fire (Impeached the President) the King, they will bring GREAT CONDEMNATION UPON the LAND of AMERICA.”

It was signed, prophet for the new millennium. Then he (Ivor Manuel prophet) recalled that February 12 of 1999 Year of Our LORD came; which is also his birthday as well. On that day, the Senate voted to leave the President in office. Then on April 20th 1999, the day of the prophet’s 25th wedding anniversary, while US. Jet-fighters where bombing Kosovo; The LORD began to pass through the land of America; Littleton, Chicago, Atlanta, etc; and smite the children of the Christian nation, according to “The WORKS” the leaders of America have Glorified; “THE TEACHINGS of WAR [Kosovo then, now Afghanistan and Iraq] and VIOLENCE”, just as The LORD had prophesized it would happened in HIS BOOK of REVELATION chapter 2: 23; and had told HIS prophet to warn the nation before February 12 of 1999, which he did accordingly. “I pray for you to understand in The LIGHT”, says Ivor Manuel.

Today, October 23, 2006, the WORD of the LORD remains with HIS JUDGMENT and CONDEMNATION upon the LAND of AMERICA; unless the people REPENT and IMPEACHED President George W. Bush; thus says The LORD, and writes His prophet Ivor Manuel.

“And He said unto me, THOU MUST PROPHESY again BEFORE MANY PEOPLES and NATIONS, and TONGUES, and KINGS.” Revelation 10:11
And I praise Him: ALELUYA! AMEN! ALEUZENEV! Vengan mis hermanos Judios (Los Aztecas and all Immigrants) para ALEUZENEV!

I am a patriot and in complete support of the war in Iraq. I tear with the site of the flag knowing that there are terrorists that want to hurt our country, the beautiful red, white and blue of the United States of freedom, liberty and democracy. We have taken important steps in ensuring democracy in the Middle East. We should continue the good work by invading Iran and North Korea. It is a matter of our national security that these problem areas in the world are dealt with through swift military force. It is essential to our American way of life, it is what the United States has been given the power to accomplish. With the success of our war in Iraq, the U.S. Military must continue by destroying the threats of Iran and North Korea, for our security, for our freedom. We cannot accomplish these ends through diplomacy. Anyone who believes this does not understand the threats we face, their ignorance and their motives. Military force is the only means, no deals when it comes to nuclear threats. No games. Invade Iraq and North Korea!! The next Republican Administration should posess the same wisdom as George W. Bush.
