If this goes wobbly or even slightly sideways. Turbo Timmy and Bendover Ben should get a blindfold. Nah, on second thought no blindfold. I want them to see it coming.

Now here’s the point –the gov’t KNOWS WHO THIS GUY IS –and fifty others like him who didn’t happen to generate a confidential tipoff to Taibbi. But you don’t know who he is, and i don’t, and the NYTimes doesn’t, and the DOJ *surely* doesn’t, it’s too busy protecting the rights of Yemeni Al Queda soldiers.

It strikes me that someone, somewhere, should be making a list and checking it twice. After all of this goes pear-shaped and we are dodging fan-flung organic matter; I do not think it would be a stretch for whatever remains of those who are non-TWANLOC to consider what has been done by those operating in a conspiracy with both members of our government and individuals and forces overseas to destroy our country for their own benefit as falling under Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution. Specifically, “levying War against them”.

What circumstances will dictate is whether the sequalae would resemble Nuremburg or Christmas day 1989 in Târgovişte, Rumania.

Looks like the President beat everybody to it. Unspoken, no more:

White House doesn’t rule out sabotage in market fluctuation

Watch this meme closely. While ‘Teh Won’ may have been just flapping his gums to be the center of attention; he normally calculates and teleprompter’s all statements for a political reason. Consider.

This regime will never blame either the officially non-existent Muslim terrorists, or Muslim states. Nor will it blame China, whose cyberwarfare effort is officially also non-existent. He may be willing to blame the Europeans, because after all they are just whites; but that would mean both crashing the Eurozone if he follows up and harming the financial interests of some of his minions. Possible, but not at all likely. He is not going to claim it is the North Koreans, because any such claim would require response by force which is the only lever that will affect their actions. And they are China’s satrapy. He won’t say ‘boo’ to the Russians, because his relationship with Putin is best described in crude barnyard terms.

Who does that leave overseas that he has insulted, abused, and considers a scapegoat? Let’s see …

‘Od lo avdah tikvateinuה, Hatikvah hannoshanah, Lashuv le’eretz avoteinu, La‘ir bah david k’hanah.

If he chooses not to look overseas for a culprit, which group or groups of people are described as “terrorists”, “violent”, and as “threats” by this regime and their minions?

Is it not interesting, that we are already reduced to the same game as others in totalitarian countries who try to divine the “real” meaning of government statements, because we know that whatever comes from the official news sources cannot be taken at face value?
