Terrorist Attack, Washington DC, Inauguration Day

This is my first post ever on these forums, I'm more of a reader than a writer, but I think that a topic like this warranted my input.

First off, to the original poster. The reason that the cell phones are being shut down is because sheer amount of people that will be at this historic moment in American history. With a large quota of people chatting, sending texts, and taking pictures on their phones in a small area, the bandwidth will be taxed and a system failure could occur. The satellites floating around weren't designed to handle every phone taking up bandwidth at at the same time. Think of it this way, do they send a spaceman up in orbit to cater to every new phone they sell on a daily basis? No. This is just a safety precaution to assist the secret service and military personnel. Evidence that our cell phone network isn't as reliable as you think it is, was during the blackout in NYC where people put too much of a burden on the system causing it to fail.

Second, are there people out there that hate the President Elect and want to do something about it on inauguration? Probably. But remember this, the Pope, who might be just as hated by radical Muslims as a President of the United States, made his first trip to America. It was our secret service that provided security for him, and even made it possible for him to give Mass at Yankee Stadium. I have faith in the Secret Service and our military to protect our President on this very special occasion.

Finally, there are far better things to worry about. Our economy is in shambles, we are in a war that I think we should of not been in in the first place, and there is even more unrest in the Middle East. This should be a time of celebration and embrace for the future, not fear of it. It should be a time that we as Americans reclaim the work ethic that built the foundation of our nation, and work together to rebuild what we have lost. Just enjoy the moment for what it is, so that when you become a father yourself, you can tell your son that you were alive for this historic occasion.

What do you mean he doesn't know how " it " works?

Could you explain or at least tell us how " it " works? Mr.know it all

Sparked some interest and not trying to divert OP topic as I think he makes a great point. and seems truthful and knowledge seeking........

Since JFK's dad helped him get into office or whatever and has connections, did his own dad know about the plot to kill his son /sons (RFK ) .....

Was he still alive at that point?




Something may happen.......but a lot of ELITE will be in the area so they won't risk their own peoples lives....

Something small may occur to incite something else though.

White supremacist groups are terrorists. They instill fear and terror into blacks and other people of ethnic decent. i guess they are not terrorists if you are white because you have nothing to worry about.

Key word being terror.

You mean drunk white supremacists. Most people who are half baked tend to be nice and peaceful people.

Why do you post here?
just curious.

This is a "Feel Good " day for Americans. With all the other economic problems and war and what no happening I think they want us to be happy for at least a few weeks to get our thinking off of All the bad news.

LOLOLOL to you !!!

Can you explain how The plane was pretty much totally destroyed in the towers and everyone in side but yet one of the " Muslim terrorists" passports was in almost perfect condition with just minor burns.

How does paper and plastic survive heat that metal cannot?

If you can't answer that then how do you believe what you believe ..

Or do you just deny anything that doesn't fit your view ( like religions do ) ?????

BTW sorry to keep this off topic BS going.....Back to the OP's thoughts...

Getting back to the original post, although I enjoy 9/11 debates.

I have this weirder than weird theory. What better time than tomorrow to committ a major false flag operation.

I remember the feeling of awe on 9/11 because like a dream it was so hard to believe what was happening before your eyes.

If Obama is the next leader to follow the NWO plan what better time to kick all new protocols into place, than when something truly mind-blowing is witnessed not only by the millions first hand, but also probably billions world-wide on TV.

Im sure there are many small steps down the road to the NAU, OWG that could be pronounced through legislation very quickly, were something incredible to happen tomorrow.

Maybe tonight could be our last night of true freedom.

I so hope Im wrong but I believe that tomorrow is way to good an opportunity to miss.

Respects

So you've never heard of anyone falsely saying they did somthing or commited a crime just because or just for attention. People have said they have done things in court that they haven't.

Your proof no longer is valid once it has been dis-proven or an = amount of evidence against your view has been presented.

The Dumbest Human of all is the one who thinks he knows it all. Take a look in the mirror.

You seem to proud of your degrees and so called knowledge to ever go against " government facts."

Yes the Bible and every other religion pretty much states that Pride is the worst of all Sins. As you think you know more than you actually do.

The rest of us have kept an open mind because that is how we learned.

If when I was in 1st grade my teacher said 2+2 = 4 and I was like " no actually it's 5" and I just kept a close mind about it I would never realize the truth and how wrong I was.

You are very close minded. A VERY HORRIBLE QUALITY TO HAVE !!!

That's a very interesting point on JFK & RFK. Makes you wonder. Didn't Bush Sr. have his hand in the FBI or CIA or something during this time period?

176 million dollars for this inauguration i doubt anything will come 15 miles near obama...this is a historic amount of money/protection that he has...the army reserve (if im not mistaken) is going to be massed all throughout dc on top of the millions of people who wouldn't let their precious "king of kings" die...

i think if anything this man is beyond safe tomorrow...

After reading this all I could think about was the end of Batman Begins.


My dad has a job based out of DC (but we live in Texas) and the other day he recieved an e-mail about all of the bridges being closed. In fact, he's actually off tomorrow because he is a government employee.

Personally, I think that anything could, and can, happen. Maybe not to Obama, but to all of the people that will be there. There are just too many people that will be in a small area, for most of the day, for someone to not at least try to do something (not that I want that to happen though). There's no way that I would be in the middle of all of those people.

For all of the people that have talked about Hillary, she would be next in line after Biden, it would be Nancy Pelosi

Order of Presidential Succesion

I have a friend, a very good one, who is in law enforcement. He is now retired and works as a Private Security provider but still has many contacts in the FBI and in various local/regional law enforcement personnel.

I had lunch with him today and he told me that everyone in the FBI, Secret Service and other agencies are holding their collective breaths because of the magnitude of the event...that's what he was told. He also told me that, as far as he knows, there is no credible threat...just a realization that the target tomorrow will be a very appealing one to any number of groups and individuals.

Sec of Def, Robert Gates, has been chosen to be the successor,
if there is a massive terrorist attack at the inauguration.

Interestingly, the 2008 movie, Eagle Eye, is about a run away
Pentagon computer that targets all the president's men, except
one chosen to be the successor, the Sec of Def.

Not to be flippant here, but wouldn't just be the icing on the cake for everything else that has happened in the last 10 or so years (9/11, Iraq war, War on Terror, America hated, economy in shambles, CTs and FEMA camps, police state worries, talk of revolution) and Wham! the first black President ever smoked on live TV worldwide. It just fits doesn't it.

Disclaimer - I hope he's a good guy and does right by us and lives a long fruitful life. Oh! and personally I'm rooting for the Labrardoodle

One thing that hasn't been brought up much....

If the security and defense of Washington is so high and the success of any attack unlikely, they'd hit somewhere else, drag the limelight away from this historic occasion.

The best trick a magician has is misdirection, while everyone is looking this way, the stunt is pulled off somewhere else.
Half of the trick has been done for them; the attention is somewhere else, the resources stretched to meet the needs of a specific location and event. All major offices charged with protecting the US are now watching this with preparations in place and procedures to follow, this would limit their response to anything else.

While I'm going to watch the goings on today, I'll also be paying attention to what else is going on in the world.

Countries are very likely to use today to release information they want buried, to move in ways they wouldn't dare at other times, to do things that they don't want people to see just yet.

We might be lucky and only see action taking place in Iraq and Afghanistan today, but you can guarantee something will happen somewhere to undermine the election of Obama and try to take the shine off of it.

Well, he's been re-enacting Abraham Lincoln with his train ride.

I think possibility is high. If TPTB knocked him, people would be very, very angry and would probably riot across the country. And TPTB would love that.

I agree that if something happens it's unlikely it will occur in Washington DC. I am very worried about this and though I took today off from work simply to watch this live on TV, I almost had my wife stay home from work due to my fears about an attack. If something happens in Washington DC, my guess is that it would be perpetrated by a white supremacy group. I don't see this happening as they could have more easily gotten to him before he even won the election, and yet didn't. I fear something terrorist related may happen somewhere else in the country, possibly NY or maybe California. With all the focus on Washington DC right now, hitting another target would be possible. A dirty bomb is unlikely as I have always figured if it were that easy to put one together, the terrorists would simply get on a rush hour train in NYC and set one off. Even if nothing occurs today, I have a bad feeling something will happen soon to test our new president.

Wont Obama be speaking from his special enclosure anyways?

Someone would need to go to a lot of trouble to get at him.

I doubt anything will happen but some might try and fail.

I am watching it just now and I cannot believe how many people are at the event and watching from all over the world.

This guy has the weight of the world on his shoulders.
