Isn”t it peculiar that three videos allegedly made by al-Qaida have surfaced lately, spewing new and serious threats against America and other Western nations, just before the elections? Isn”t this rather convenient?
More importantly, if these videos and their timing is real, isn”t it completely illogical on the part of al-Qaida to essentially try to help the Republicans stay in power by threatening us just before the elections, when they are supposed to know, as well as anyone who listens to official propaganda, that the Democrats are “soft” on defense, “incapable” of protecting America and comparable to those who would not stand against Hitler? It doesn”t add up, does it?
These people, by the way, are sly and clever, not stupid by any means. Unless they know something the American public is being prevented from understanding, that a Democratic Congress might go after the real terrorists rather than after oil and other resources, and would also make America safer because less dependent on oil.
Certainly, by their actions, the terrorists seem to be demonstrating that they do not want a Democratic Congress, unless of course we are simply witnessing a masterful campaign of deception by the neo-cons, which would not be the first one.
At any rate, the media would have noticed the absurdity of this if they were doing their job rather than being a mouth-piece for the neo-cons, such as ABC and Fox, or if their were not so intimidated as to be intellectually paralyzed.
