Polls show America poised to vote the NeoCons out of Congress -- and probably out of power for good. Do you think the Cons are going to roll over and play dead? Former senator Gary Hart thinks their "surprise" will be a new war: “The October Surprise” Gary Hart 9-23-06Cut from the pResident to a black TV screen – night in Tehran – with fireworks blazing like brilliant red, white and orange diamonds.
“…The president will speak on national television. He will say this:
‘Iran is determined to develop nuclear weapons; if this happens, the entire region will go nuclear; our diplomatic efforts to prevent this have failed; Iran is offering a haven to known al Qaeda leaders; the fate of our ally Israel is at stake; Iran persists in supporting terrorism, including in Iraq; and sanctions will have no effect (and besides they are for sissies).’
“He will not say: ‘...and besides, we need the oil.’
“’Therefore,’ he will announce, ‘our own national security and the security of the region requires us to act. Tonight, I have ordered the elimination of all facilities in Iran that are dedicated to the production of weapons of mass destruction..... In the narrowest terms this includes perhaps two dozen targets….’” For MORE go HERE.
Cut to 300 million Americans sitting in front of TV screens jaws hanging open.
200 million are seething with anger. 50 million are jumping for joy. 50 million are brain dead and just sitting there because everyone else wandered into the TV room. But all 300 million of us will share one thing in common: fear.
And a few days later, when we walk into polling booths, we'll be saying, “Do I really wanna vote in a new Congress? I mean, the Congress we have now stinks like an old rug, but at least they’re used to working together...."
I'm not saying in the next two weeks we're gonna jump into a second war. I am saying let's prep for the possibility -- so it won't hit us as a surprise. So we won't let it keep us OR OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILIES from voting Democrats into Congress. So that we've thought about it ahead of time, and know it for what it is -- the actions of cornered rats trying to keep themselves afloat.

Will they get away with it? Blowing up targets in Iran 2 weeks after North Korea detonates a bomb, and we just sit and smile? I pray, I really really pray, that the Repubs are sunk and that they don't try to blast their way out of it.
Well put, Anne. I have a feeling they're going to do just that: try to "blast their way out of it." Unfortunately, Bush has managed to get away with almost everything he's tried up til now. So if he wants to start another war, I'm sure he could.
Far, far worse than any war he'd start, though, would be a resulting NeoCon victory in November. If the Cons keep Congress in November, that gives them two more years to hack away at what's left of the Constitution.
I think the key is to go around litany-ing, from now until the end of October, "October Surprise, October Surprise, October Surprise...." To everyone who'll listen.
We need to get people aware beforehand that Bush's Brain is going to try to do us in with a "surprise."
Remember "it's the economy, stupid"?
Well now it's gotta be "It's the October Surprise, Stupid."
The NeoCons can't win an election in November unless they cheat. Unfortunately, we're still using Diebold machines, so that won't be hard for them to do. I don't think even another direct attack on our soil would help them - Katrina is too fresh in people's minds. It would be easy to paint it as another failure on their part.
What worries me is that they do a lot of sword rattling. Iran's president is nuts - he's got his own version of Armageddon he's working on and he has stated he expects it to happen within a year and a half. That scares the shit out of me. Why waste nukes on Israel when they can hit us first?
I just keep telling myself to trust the Goddess.
I trust the Goddess too, because when the human race is toast, she'll still be rocking on.
