October Surprise in the plans?
 
I'm not one who has bought into the government plotting and planning and involvement in 9/11, nor into several other popular conspiracy theories. However, this does give me pause, with today's administration in place.

The October Surprise
July 16, 2010 by Bob Livingston

I’m sure you’ve heard of the “October Surprise.” It’s an event or series of events occurring in the days before a November election that sway voters one way or another.

The first one—or at least the one in which that term first came into use—occurred in late October 1972 when then National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger announced that peace with North Vietnam was at hand. President Richard Nixon was already leading George McGovern in the polls, but that declaration is thought to have increased Nixon’s standing with the electorate.

There have been several October incidents since that some think at least influenced United States elections.

Now, with polls showing increasing dissatisfaction with President Barack Obama and Democrats in Congress—a recent poll by Democracy Corps showed that 55 percent of Americans think Obama is a socialist and only 42 percent of Americans support Democrats—there are some rumblings that an October surprise may be the only way for Obama and Democrats to retain their Congressional majority.

In fact, a former Clinton official recently suggested to the publication Financial Times that a major terrorist incident in the U.S. along the lines of 9/11 or Oklahoma City may be Obama’s only hope. As the Times reported:

“The bottom line here is that Americans don’t believe in President Obama’s leadership,” says Rob Shapiro, another former Clinton official and a supporter of Mr Obama. “He has to find some way between now and November of demonstrating that he is a leader who can command confidence and, short of a 9/11 event or an Oklahoma City bombing, I can’t think of how he could do that.”

Shapiro knows a thing or two about surprises. In 1995 Clinton used the Oklahoma City bombing to bolster his political comeback. We documented here how if the government was not directly involved in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murray building, it at least fostered a cover-up.

Democrats are desperate to retain the majorities they currently hold in the House and Senate. Don’t be surprised if a false flag terrorist attack along the lines of 9/11 or Oklahoma City occurs prior to November.

Americans tend to rally around their leaders in times of crisis. But remember that the government response to every terrorist attack on U.S. soil has been to steal more of your liberty.

How about, Iran has the bomb!!! We have to strike now and strike hard against Iran's Nuclear program. How many Carrier groups and Marine assault units moved into the region last month? Where are the newly converted Cruse Missile subs? Last I heard 3 were in the Pacific and one getting ready to sail. Would that be crisis enough with Obama acting Presidential and neutralizing the situation and saving the nation from camel launched nukes.

That's an interesting scenario.

What if Isreal decided to 'intervene' right in the middle of it all?:eek:
Iran would get the point, and the potUS would get his walking papers.

The way about everything else he has manages has gone to sheet, I'm not so sure a surprise might not backfire. Then again, I guess he could suspend the elections. It could harm the agenda of a lame duck congress.

Israel last Sunday did everything but give the date.They can't and won't wait until Iran has the ability to fire nukes on them.Then all hell will break loose for sure.

Obama would pull a bill clinton and bomb a deserted goat herding camp and then claim he "took out" irans nuclear capability...
Sad thing is that too many would believe it.

Obama won't attack fellow muslims, besides, he doesn't have the stones. He won't have an October surprise unless George Soros pulls his strings
