As they say in intelligence...there is no such thing as a coincidence when it comes to a gov’t with an agenda...

What's the old saying? One time is bad luck, two times is a coincidence, three times is enemy action.

So we have one more to go before donning the tinfoil.

Okay, call it coincidence or whatever but here is what bothers me about all this...

We had a “bundle” of untypical accidents and explosions at mines, oil facitilies/rigs, and I believe even a power plant or two in April and May. Right about that time was the NY car bomber and a couple of other scares.

Then it seemed kind of quiet all summer, and now we have the two guys arrested out of Ohare, an person detained in Tampa and a suspicious package in Atlanta ALL ON THE SAME DAY - and now this explosion.

Do terrorists act with bundles of attacks like this?

Just curious.

I needed a tin foil hat since the first one. I put nothing past these thugs and this would be a very easy thing to accomplish. Odd that the court ruling regarding the ban on drilling was yesterday and now this today.

He needs a different oil company to shake down for another 20 billion because Michelle blew through all of that arlready on one Spanish vacation and she’s laid down the law to Zero that she intends to take at least one of those types of vacations every other month.

So he’s in deep doo doo and needs to manufacture some moohlah fast.

Exactly. The democrats and their liberal mainstream media lied and keep lying. Where is the BP "oil spill" now? The Gulf beaches , the Ocean , the Gulf , everything is as it was before this BP “oil spill”.

YES!

Once is an accident.

Twice, coincidence.

Three times is for real.

Yep.

No way, no how, after years of NOTHING are we getting this kind of activity and you KNOW every oil company is on HIGHEST standards.

They cannot afford this kind of bad press or action.

So why now?

I think I need one of those tin hats too.

And I HATE tin hattism.

The Demonrats are addicted to crises. Saul Alinsky didn’t warn them about that.

guess I should have written in the past tense......and btw, hope the ‘sarcasm on’ tag in my prior post was noted.
