Fear Mongering and Conditioning for Total Control: Terror, Martial Law and the End of the Constitution |
--------------------------------
The Madrid Train Bombing Was a Primer They are using the example of the Madrid train bombing as a kind of overlay to reinforce the likelihood in people's mind that this is going to happen.
The individuals who carried out that attack had closer links to the Spanish government than they did to Al-Qaeda. The man who provided the explosives was in contact with the Spanish security services days before the attack, as BBC reported . And of course the Boston Globe reported that the Al-Qaeda group blamed for the attack was non-existent.
They've already been laying the groundwork for the pre-attack propaganda. A plane which was carrying the governor of Kentucky to the Reagan funeral which strayed into restricted airspace forced the capitol building to be evacuated . This story didn't get much attention but there were police running around screaming at people to run because a plane was about to hit in two minutes. So those members of Congress who aren't in on the loop have already been prepared.
Even if the election isn't cancelled, Homeland Security may raise the color code to a red alert and it will a martial law drill which will make a lot of people in the big cities stay in their homes and not vote, which again conditions them that voting is some kind of privilege afforded to them by the government.
The US News and World Report reported back in May that such an attack would take place before the election and that, unlike Spain (where the aftershock propaganda was misdirected), the people would rally round Bush. ---------------------------------
From the White House, a nightmare scenario
US News and World Report | May 17 2004
White House officials say they've got a "working premise" about terrorism and the presidential election: It's going to happen.
"We assume," says a top administration official, "an attack will happen leading up to the election." And, he added, "it will happen here."
There are two worst-case scenarios, the official says. The first posits an attack on Washington, possibly the Capitol, which was believed to be the target of the 9/11 jet that crashed in Pennsylvania. Theory 2: smaller but more frequent attacks in Washington and other major cities leading up to the election.
To prepare, the administration has been holding secret antiterrorism drills to make sure top officials know what to do. "There was a sense," says one official involved in the drills, "of mass confusion on 9/11. Now we have a sense of order."
Unclear is the political impact, though most Bushies think the nation would rally around the president. "I can tell you one thing," adds the official sternly, "we won't be like Spain," which tossed its government days after the Madrid train bombings.

Election Day Worries
Newsweek /July 19 issue
American counterterrorism officials, citing what they call "alarming" intelligence about a possible Qaeda strike inside the United States this fall, are reviewing a proposal that could allow for the postponement of the November presidential election in the event of such an attack, NEWSWEEK has learned.
The prospect that Al Qaeda might seek to disrupt the U.S. election was a major factor behind last week's terror warning by Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge. Ridge and other counterterrorism officials concede they have no intel about any specific plots. But the success of March's Madrid railway bombings in influencing the Spanish elections—as well as intercepted "chatter" among Qaeda operatives—has led analysts to conclude "they want to interfere with the elections," says one official.
As a result, sources tell NEWSWEEK, Ridge's department last week asked the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel to analyze what legal steps would be needed to permit the postponement of the election were an attack to take place. Justice was specifically asked to review a recent letter to Ridge from DeForest B. Soaries Jr., chairman of the newly created U.S. Election Assistance Commission. Soaries noted that, while a primary election in New York on September 11, 2001, was quickly suspended by that state's Board of Elections after the attacks that morning, "the federal government has no agency that has the statutory authority to cancel and reschedule a federal election." Soaries, a Bush appointee who two years ago was an unsuccessful GOP candidate for Congress, wants Ridge to seek emergency legislation from Congress empowering his agency to make such a call. Homeland officials say that as drastic as such proposals sound, they are taking them seriously—along with other possible contingency plans in the event of an election-eve or Election Day attack. "We are reviewing the issue to determine what steps need to be taken to secure the election," says Brian Roehrkasse, a Homeland spokesman.

Bush Regime Working out Procedures for Postponing November Elections
The Bush regime is now working out procedures for postponing the coming November general election. This is totally unprecedented -- even in 1864, in the midst of the Civil War, the Lincoln vs. McClellan presidential contest took place.
