In an alarming display of fearmongering, former Republican Senator Rick Santorum has suggested that a series of “unfortunate events,” namely terrorist attacks, will occur within the next year and change American citizen’s perception of the war.
Appearing on the Hugh Hewitt radio show, Santorum also hyped the necessity of “confronting Iran in the Middle East,” and predicted that Giuliani, Romney and Tommy Thompson would be the three surviving Republican candidates who would go head to head in the race for the nomination.
Santorum went on to clearly imply that terror attacks will occur inside America which will alter the body politic and lead to a reversal of the anti-war sentiment now dominating the country.
“Between now and November, a lot of things are going to happen, and I believe that by this time next year, the American public’s going to have a very different view of this war, and it will be because, I think, of some unfortunate events, that like we’re seeing unfold in the UK. But I think the American public’s going to have a very different view,” said the former senator from Pennsylvania.
Is Santorum expressing foreknowledge of some coming atrocity or is he merely using a tactic familiar to the leadership of his party – exploiting the fear of terror for the purposes of political rhetoric?
Santorum’s political career know all about blowback
Clearly he is insane. Let’s just hope the conspiracy theorists are wrong.
Namely Iran is gonna be involved in those “terrorist attacks”
The more the neo-cons try to put people off, the more people will support him. People are intelligent enough to make up their own minds and Ron Paul Patriots support freedom, they understand the issues and they recognise truth when they see it. There is no weapon the neo-cons can use to defeat that.
the government cannot tell the voters who the candidates will be, nor will we tolerate another hijacking of the people’s government thru staged terror events, martial law, fema camps, natural disasters, oil plundering, price fixing, tax fixing, pork barreling, e-voting machines, internet neo-con tactics, weather modification, scalar weapons, UFO’s, or any other damn thing that they cook up.
JA, you insolent little termites think YOU control the government??
You horrible wretches need a not-so-subtle slap in Zee face, JA? Like 9/11, only not as much damage that close to Wall Street, JA.
VE in Republican Party have already turned our goose-stepping goons loose to begin the next “false-flag” op that will scare you imbeciles into turning what is left of your decimated democratic republic into a total dictatorship, run by the tyrants of our choice, not you, you insignificant ant-like creatures.
JA, this time, we really mean it. You think those Halliburton constructed detention centers located here in the states are going to stay empty forever?

Bret Said: “Let’s just hope the conspiracy theorists are wrong.”
Sadly Bret, so far the “conspiracy theorists” happen to be batting 1000, and if you spent a little time looking at the evidence that implicates some of our elected officials you wouldn’t be calling them by the propagandist’s tag of “conspiracy theorists,” which label is applied to everyone who questions the government, because idiots like yourself have been conditioned through the media to associate evidence of government crimes with UFO’s, crop circles, and other non-sense. Please stop believing everything you see on TV and start looking at evidence for yourself, and follow that evidence to it’s logical conclusion. If you followed that sensible advice, you’d be a “conspiracy theorist” too instead of a parrot who repeats whatever the TV tells him is fact.
Rudy Giuliani or Vampire Ghouliani?
gregpig,
too late for you Mein Farter, the war profiteers have been unmasked and their mouths are dripping with crude and feces as yours is. this country belongs to the patriots, the voices of dissent will not be pushed down or punched out. the neo-cons will however be punched and numbered and placed in camps to protect them from the anarchist patriot movement hard at work in the underground network as this is written
only thru revolution will the constitution be restored.
Ron Paul is the cornerstone on which this movement will spring.
Investigate 9/11 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you don’t think Bush is trying for Dictator, look up the “National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive” at whitehouse.gov. Take a close look at article 1(b) and think about it.
Love, Hope, Peace, & Christ Be With You,

P.S. Vote Ron Paul!
Cal – you sparked my curiosity. I don’t see a 1(b) though…

What these men forget is that one has to care for one’s surroundings and other life forms, in order to care for oneself. Everything is interconnected. No man exists as an island. Put a man in the middle of Outer Space — remove him from his surroundings and social sphere — and he has no meaning. The surroundings make the man; the man does not make the surroundings. Take care of the surroundings and the community, and you take care of yourself. This is why capitalism should never run unchecked within society. Too much power in too few hands creates the illusion of separation.
Today, America would be outraged if UN troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that three was an outside threat from beyond, wether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existance. It is then that all people of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing everyman fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarentee of their well being granted to them by the world government.
Henry Kissinger. 1991, Evians, France.
I tell you, freedom and human rights in America are doomed. The U.S. government will lead the American people, and the west in general, into an unbearable hell and choking life.
Osama bin Laden, BBC taped interview after 9-11.
I think many of us know the plan. Or have a good idea that our nation will suffer a terrible loss of life if we don’t get these puppetraitors behind bars.
It was a Republican the repealed the “emergency detention act of 1950″(53?) that allows these foriegn allied subverts to hold public office.
Lets get the cops off the petty victimless crime beat and get them in our cities with their bomb sniffing dogs and whatever alse they use to search for explosives.
I think America is going to be hit and she is going to be hit hard. Hard enough that a good majority will beg for mercy.
Life is an illusion. Is is fear that controls us.
I think Rick Santorum get’s his information from Lemony Snicket. Ron Paul doesn’t run from these fear mongers.
woohoo, nice whackjob post. I give you a 3.5 on the conspiracy idea, and a 6.8 for delivery. Maybe, Rick is just bright enough to know that it’s coming. Anyone who doesn’t think it is doesn’t read.
Bingo!
We can all assume that no matter how big the event, that whomever is alleged to have perpetrated the attack is presumed innocent. That way, if they say it is Iran that set off a suitcase nuke, demand evidence that proves it. If it is a band of terrorists that hijack planes, they must show irrefutable evidence in a timely manner.
The administration has a serious credibility problem and the more they pound their fist demanding we just believe them on faith, the less credibility they have.
For people who are supposed to be in favor of protecting Americans from terrorist attack, the neocons sure spend a lot of time wishing that terrorists would attack Americans.
If the terrorists ever do attack between now and election time, the American people are going to wonder why, after so many years of the War on Terror and its horrific cost in lives and money and civil rights, an even worse terrorist attack happens.
The public will surely conclude that Bush and the neocons are not only mistaken in their strategy, but utterly incompetent and corrupt. Which also explains the flooding of New Orleans and the inability to pronounce the word ‘nuclear,’ does it not?
i thought new orleans was flooded because a massive hurricane hit a city built below sea level. the aftermath you can blame on the bush administration and the amateurs running the state of Louisiana, but New Orleans being wrecked was only a matter of time.
How does Ron Paul differ from a neo-con? He says “that’s not the job of the federal government.” that’s the only difference.
Hello all. This country needs a mass alternative movement, the thing is that i don’t know how that movement be possible with a divided opposition and hundreds of different anti-Bush candidates out there. Let’s instead get united, after we seize power, and take it away from neocon killer machine, we can talk

The administration is already planning the next ‘terrorist’ attack for their zionist masters. Only Israel benefits from these endless Middle East wars. Iraq is the beginning. As we commit war-crimes in Baghdad, the US gov’t commits treason at home by opening mail, eliminating habeas corpus, using the judiciary to steal private lands, banning books like “America Deceived” from Amazon and Wikipedia, conducting warrantless wiretaps and engaging in illegal wars on behalf of AIPAC’s ‘money-men’. Soon, another US false-flag operation will occur (sinking of an Aircraft Carrier by Mossad) and the US will invade Iran.. Then we’ll invade Syria, then Saudi Arabia, then Lebanon (again) then ….

Didn’t W. just say a few weeks ago that when the next catastrophic event happens, he’s suspending the Constitution? This stuff is already running on schedule.
Sounds plausable to me…they are going to have to do something to keep the illusion alive.
what the former senator says is to me he knows something
could it be the attacks will come from arabs that are brainwashed in all these secret detention centers?
I have started a thread based on all of these terror/fear-mongering tactics and foreknowledge by these criminals:

wow dan you should maybe write one of those anti semite thrillers..that was way over the top.
Didn’t he mean to say Fred Thompson instead of Tommy Thompson. Looks like he forgot that part of the script I guess. lol
The next “terrorist” attack on the USA will only confirm what the politcians have been drumming into us for months.
And 80% of us humans believe that their is a probability that they would stage another FALSE FLAG (non-terrorist) attack.
If they are wise they should NOT even think about doing such a thing.
The remaining 20% of non believers will surely swing over to the majority who had it right all along, and swiftly.
They will defeat themselves.
