Predictions of October Surprise
8-31-10 | Self

Posted on 08/31/2010 9:39:22 AM PDT by CincyRichieRich

Well, Palin did a nice pre-emption or diffusional ploy in her speech at the rally. She dared Obama to declare Iraq his victory, etc.

In this case, I'd like to preempt, or at least predict what our conservative leaders should say to preempt Obama and his machine before they pull their October Surprise. So what is your prediction or predictions (let's say 3 or less ideas per person)...

I just want us all to get to November safely and vote. And then vote again in 2012. I think a lot of people are waking up from a sort of made-for-tv production called the Obama Show and are reaching for the remote.

I think the worst October surprise for conservatives would be a dramatic apparent attempt on Obama’s life,

I wouldn't put it past the Abu Ba-mites. Only dictators stage such dramatic events as a way to grab total power, put all their opponents away, and "protect the citizens." I just hope that this isn't in the cards.

Here is a link from Wiki of a staged attempt on a man who just put his predecessor under house arrest, took over and proceeded to be a dictator for life! At the time, Nasser got rid of his bosom buddies, the Moslem Brotherhood (jail executions, etc.) and President (General) Naguib in one swoop.

"In 1954 he deposed Naguib and made himself prime minister. The Muslim Brotherhood tried to assassinate him but failed. In 1956 he promulgated a constitution that made Egypt a one-party socialist state with himself as president."

He will declare Sarah Palin as an enemy of the state and have her arrested for espionage.

A terrorist attack would hurt Obama as the people would say its because he was weak, Same if it was linked to the border. My bet would be for a hostage crisis—manufactured so that Obama could appear to have personally solved the crisis by getting involved.
That or a wag-the-dog mini war with someone who isn’t Muslim like North Korea. This would give Obama a chance to give a powerful speech and sent the fleet and marines half way around the world. Another choice would be to send troops to someplace in Central America.

How about — government’s out of money. Can’t issue checks? Mass rioting. Marshall law.

This was already tested out in Memphis, TN. Further, the Atlanta housing voucher deal gave a clearer picture of numbers.

Finally, Bob Beckel(?) that guy that Hannity always calls for the dem. view on his panel, said the problem is the government has over-invested in entitlement programs. Hannity was shocked. If this gets mentioned much more by the party bull-horns, look out.

He declares a national emergency and nationalizes everything. If you dare to continue supporting conservatives, your power goes out, and you go hungry!

“I doubt it; Israel wins.”

No doubts about that. My thoughts were along the line that Iran and Russia would be totally eliminated as world powers which could make Obama, if we back Israel, look good in some peoples eyes here in the US.

Better look at what the Bible says in Ezek 38 about what will happen to anyone who comes against Israel. Not a pretty picture.

Chicago Climate Exchange, run by George Soros, and heavily invested in by many radicals. Google it.

Free ice cream for those really trying hard?

Really trying hard at what? This is not a time for generalization. If you can post pictures and/or diagrams it would be a big help. (Besides, I want my gubmint ice cream.) :-)

1. Terrorist act, and subsequent suspension of all elections forever. 2. China dumps the dollar, causing financial meltdown and subsequent suspension of all elections forever. 3. Drug gang invasion in Arizona, and subsequent suspension of all elections forever. Does everyone see the common thread?

I do. I agree that there will be a suspension of all elections forever. That is the the ultimate result of what ever happens.

After that, who knows?

Civil War? I don't know.
