=A Terror Attack That Defied Physics=

 

 

Bush Must Have Come Up with Today's " Aspirational

Terrorist Scare, "

Because

the Idea of the Hudson River Flowing UP

Into Manhattan Defies the Law of Physics

 

July 7, 2006 A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS

 

Is it possible that Bush himself brainstormed with

Rove about the latest

 

“Terrorist Aspirational Scare�

 

The first “reports†coming from the Rovian propaganda

machine claimed that a

 

vague group of suspected terrorists were planning to

flood lower Manhattan by

 

blowing up the Holland or Lincoln Tunnels.

 

There was just one major problem with this latest

“scare them into voting

 

Republican for a third time†tactic: it defied the

laws of gravity and basic

 

physics.

 

You see, Manhattan is ABOVE sea level. A body of

water, such as the Hudson

 

River, won’t rise UP without a rather sophisticated

plumbing system. In short,

 

bombing the Holland or Lincoln Tunnels could not

possibly, according to the

 

law of physics, flood lower Manhattan and “ruin the

American economy by

 

destroying Wall Street.â€

 

There might be some basement flooding, but that’s

about it.

 

It’s an idea so contrary to reality and the laws of

physics that only Bush

 

himself could have come up with it.

 

Some first media reports even dutifully noted that

government sources told

 

them that the alleged “aspirational†terrorists got

their idea of blowing up

 

the tunnels from the Katrina disaster and the flooding

of New Orleans. This is

 

a sure sign that the idea came from the man who

completely bungled Hurricane

 

Katrina: George W. Bush. Only Bush could fail to

realize that New Orleans is

 

situated BELOW sea level, while Manhattan is ABOVE sea

level.

 

How else do you explain the second-in-a-row crack-head

scheme (after the Miami

 

clown posse “plotâ€) that is so ludicrous, it couldn’t

make it past peer review

 

in a class of idiots?

 

By mid-day, Rove must have realized that he had made a

big mistake going with

 

Bush’s “brainstorm†contribution to the third cycle of

resurrecting the al-

 

Qaeda bogeyman.

 

(Even though, in a horribly cynical move that shows

its true hand, the Bush

 

Administration had the CIA close down its unit hunting

Osama bin Laden.

 

That’s the reality side. On the propaganda side, they

planted a recent story

 

that Osama was reconsolidating his power over

al-Qaeda,

a story clearly aimed at instilling fear in the

American public.

After all, if the CIA isn’t hunting him anymore and

Bush says that he’s not

 

important, how could he becoming an increasing threat?

You can’t have it both

 

ways in the real world, unless you are a demagogue.)

 

Because by the afternoon, we were hearing that really

the alleged

 

“aspirational†target was something more vague, like

flooding the New York

 

Subway system, which no doubt would send shivers of

terror through

 

Manhattanites because of all the rats that would hit

the streets.

 

As for the Democrats, if they don’t start denouncing

this nonsense pretty

 

soon, the scare headlines are going to drive Bush’s

poll numbers up, because

 

people out in Topeka believe this stuff. That’s

particularly true because only

 

the New Media is exposing the truth about Rove’s

“Terrorist Fear Campaign 3.â€

 

He’s rolling out such a predictable series of fright

alerts. All one has to do

 

is look at his frayed “fear the enemy†playbook for

the 2002 and 2004

 

elections.

 

If the Democrats haven’t learned how to counteract

this after two election

 

cycles, they don’t deserve our financial support.

 

But the end result is that we will end up with two

more years of one-party

 

rule unless the Democrats starting exposing Rove’s

overused scare tactics, and

 

two more years may give the Busheviks enough time to

complete the conversion

 

of America from a Constitutional democracy into a

totalitarian state.
