Back to the Bunker

Oldsmobile writes "On Monday, June 19, about 4,000 government workers representing more than 50 federal agencies will say goodbye to their families and set off for dozens of classified emergency facilities stretching from the Maryland and Virginia suburbs to the foothills of the Alleghenies. They will take to the bunkers in an "evacuation" that sources describe as the largest "continuity of government" exercise ever conducted, a drill intended to prepare the U.S. government for an event even more catastrophic than the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. The vast secret operation has updated the duck-and-cover scenarios of the 1950s with state-of-the-art technology -- alerts and updates delivered by pager and PDA, wireless priority service, video teleconferencing, remote backups -- to ensure that "essential" government functions continue undisrupted in an emergency."

    But what about hordes of people who constitute 'the people' in the declaration of independence ?

    This is America - every man for himself, I guess. At least this is what I hear when it's about taxes and health care.

    The only conspiracy here is insiders in government hijacking the elections with their pals in the blackbox voting businesses. This (or similar moves) is called a coup d'etat when it happens in other nations. Here, the order followers just keep following orders, despite the fact of numerous lies being exposed, such as the actual stated reason to go to a semi major war over. They obviously don't care enough to consider what the heck they are doing, or want to go along with the coup. If you can't see these events have happened, oh well, consider some google searches and educate thyself. If you think it doesn't effect you, oh well again, too bad you got the ostrich with it's head in the sand syndrome. It effects everyone on the planet what the fatcat government goons do here, you don't even have to be a subject for their rules.

      The only black helicopters are the ones the government owns, in fact, one of them crashed the other day carrying the "nightstalkers" and some spec ops guys. Most didn't make it, one guy lived throgh it. They apparently hit a TV tower guide wire.

    Oh, BTW, we are all informed now that the government itself employs thousands of "cyber warrior" coup supporters to manufacture fake news-a-ganda, and to post on forums and blogs, among other things, it is no longer a "secret". If you are one of them, or some civvie coup supporter, you know what? Eat shit you sniveling fascist bastard.

    What conspiracy theory? The elections on those days are scheduled by the Constitution. Karl Rove, I know you dropped the "policy advisor" job to concentrate on politics, but really, this Anonymous whining Coward posting gig is beneath you. Why not just outsource it to your swiftboat vendors, like usual?
