Drudge: Secret Service on Trail of Presidential Assassins
Sunday, September 19, 2004 | Kristinn

Posted on 09/19/2004 8:20:40 PM PDT by kristinn

A worried Matt Drudge reported on his radio show tonight that the Secret Service is on the trail of several people intent on assassinating President Bush.

Drudge said the news story is not his, but that "those in the know" know what he's talking about.

He said more will be reported in the coming days.

Drudge pleaded with his fellow Americans to let the political process play out and to not descend to killing presidential candidates.

Booth was a Democrat and an out of work actor

True, but a Democrat back then wasn't what we would today call a "leftist."

You should become familiar with "Copperheads". Read up on them and then tell me if they were not like today's leftists.

I'll get you started:

"Remember, this is the party that didn’t want Lincoln to go to war, and were ready to cede the South from the Union (and therefore to slavery), being that most southerners were Democrats anyway. The term for the anti-war Democrats, especially in the North, was Copperheads, and I think we aught to resurrect that term today. These “Peace Democrats” were opposed to the war and were intent on accepting a negotiated peace with the South resulting in an independent Confederate States of America. Of course, they would have also been accepting the Confederate’s Constitutionality of slavery without putting up a fight, but when has the humanity of any other human on Earth ever been the actual concern of a Democrat?

Why should this surpise anyone. There is certainly at least 1% of the U.S. population who seriously believe that President Bush and his administration planned 9/11 in order to undermine democracy and further other diabolical causes of the evil Republicans. This would amount to somewhere around 2500K+ people. Among those 2500K+ people there will surely be some small percentage who will willingly act on those firmly held beliefs - let's say 0.1% as a (very) conservative estimate. That leaves at least 2500 people.

The Zero factor has to do with when the president was "first" elected. It has nothing to do with when a president was re-elected, so the year of Lincoln's assassination is irrelevant.

I bet those who are planning it are peace-loving, non-violent, pro-gun control liberals. Or Dan Rather.

Defense in depth is the norm.....USSS bullet catchers and TSD sorts are "very" good at what they do backed up by DOD assets like EOD, Spec Op's, DOD Bomb Dog's and WHCA Communications Specialists. And these are just the folks one "see's" if they know what they are looking for.

Stay Safe.......Y

Was using the search menu to find "assasination attempt on Pres. Bush and this website was one that came up:

2-4 Weeks Before the Presidential Election 

Note: I am a Democrat and NOT a fan of Bush, yet my 
heart hurts like crazy at the thought of what's going 
to happen to George W. Bush this year. About 4 weeks 
before the election, George W. will be making a speech 
at an elementary school, and upon his exit (outside the 
elementary school) he will be gunned down in a 
firestorm of bullets that will also injure several 
children and kill a young blonde haired, blue eyed nine 
year old boy as well. The scene will be reminiscent of 
the assasination of Robert F. Kennedy. I feel the 
school may be in Florida - the SPACE COAST to be exact, 
like in Titusville or Cocoa Beach. 

The country will be in terrible shock, the insane 
Arab-American gunman will be painted as an Anti-Bush 
John Kerry devotee and as a result, Kerry and his 
running mate John Edwards will respectfully drop out of 
the race... allowing Dick Cheney to run uncontested... 
However, just days before the election, Howard Dean 
(who will join the race LAST minute) will be 
unsurprisingly defeated. 

Barbara Bush will have a massive heart-attack 2 weeks 
after her son's death and never fully recover. 

The economy will go into a major tailspin but stabilize 
upon the re-election of Dick Cheney. 

DICK CHENEY WILL SERVE 2 TERMS AS PRESIDENT and keep us 
at war THE WHOLE TIME... against the faceless 
"terrorists". He will turn out to be the country's MOST 
UNLIKED PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME. By the end of his second 
term, 80% of Americans will believe that he was the 
driving force behind Bush's murder. 

Why He Did It: 

At the end of August, Bush campaigns that if 
re-elected, he will pull ALL military personnel out of 
the Middle East as a result of the Miami terrorist 
attacks. This news makes Americans happy and the 
defense industry furious. They approach Cheney and 
promise to give him the power and the hit on Bush if he 
STAYS AT WAR WITH IRAQ and the Middle East. Believe it 
or not, Libya's Kadafi was even asked to "supply" the 
hitman to kill Bush in exchange for favorable relations 
and Lots of $$$ to him and his country. In other words, 
this is the JFK assasination all over again. 

That's all. I pray I am just a creative, insane person 
or that all of this will be stopped in time. I pray I 
am wrong and that this is just my imagination. 

Here's the URL for the website from where this prediction came: http://www.prophecies.us/article.php?sid=282

I have a theory that far left groups led by Soros are one of three controlling elements within the DNC and are using this election as a means of consolidating power and building a global far left movement. Insofar as they are vehemently anti-American, their interests and objectives align perfectly with Islamic extremists. I would expect such an unholy alliance to be the nexus of any violent actions against our elected officials.

My very uneducated guess-- :)

Assume GWB is elected on Nov 2.

There are several time periods in question to consider if the president-elect dies before inauguration.
1. Between election day and the "meeting of the electors".
2. Between the "meeting of the electors" and the house session to read/tally the electors' votes.
3. Between the house pronouncement and Jan 20.

Time period 1 (between election day and meeting of the electors): The electors are free to vote how they wish. I'm sure the Republican Party would try to draft a candidate and organize the electors to vote for him/her.

Time period 2 (between meeting of electors and house session): The house receives the votes and determines that the "winner" has since deceased. Since no living person has the required 270 votes, the house would vote among the 3 highest electoral vote recipients. This could ensure a Kerry win since he may be the only other person with electoral votes--unless an elector played games with his vote and voted for another person.

Time period 3 (between house session and inauguration): If the president-elect dies, then would Cheney get inaugurated? (Then next in line is the current Speaker, etc.) I think the Supreme Court would have to get involved here.

Those are my guesses. Those more knowledgeable, please feel free to correct me.

This could never come from a lunatic fringe lefty. They don't believe in the use of fire arms. They must be planning to use a sling shot.

Lincoln was assassinated in the 1865, after his 1864 election, not his 1860 election. People always make little "adjustments" to fit theories.

I think the theory is that presidents elected in a year ending in zero (as Abraham Lincoln was in 1860) die in office, even if that death does not occur until after a subsequent election. At least that's my understanding. I'm not a proponent of the theory, just trying to clarify. Although it would seem that Reagan disproves it.

What really worries me is that the Looney Left crowd may be just insane enough to try to assassinate President Bush. Remember groups like Earth First! and the Animal Liberation Front? What will happen if members of this group insanely decide to take out the President when they realize Senator Kerry will not win the election on 2 November 2004?

Given the two attempts on President Ford in the middle 1970's and the unsuccessful assassination attempt on President Reagan in 1981, not to mention the potential al-Qaeda terrorist threat since 11 September 2001, I think President Bush will always have very tight security around him to prevent such an unfortunate tragedy.

If someone were to get to Bush before the election, do these wannabe assassins really think we'd elect Kerry? President Cheney by a landslide.

It wasn't that the president elected in years ending in zero died in that term. It was just that those presidents elected every 20 years starting with William Henry Harrison, died in office. President Franklin D. Roosevelt died almost four months into his fourth term to which he was elected in 1944. Everyone counts him in the list, because he was also elected in 1940. I am worried about nuts who would try to make that "curse" continue. I was glad when Reagan finished his second term and seemingly break the "curse".
