This should be huge!
Oh, by the way, we agree with the Lantern Brigadiers, we not absolutely sure that Chertoff is a villain this time. Could be he is trying to warn us and get the word out.
Is Chertoff a completely bad person? Maybe not. Most people have a point beyond which they cannot go; a breaking point, so to speak. People, generally, are varying degrees of light and dark
For example one person can steal with little effect on their conscious, but murder is a whole other world.
I was so completely wrong about Colin Powell, in making the mistake of trusting him far more than I should have, could it be I've gone too far with Chertoff in the other direction. Maybe Chertoff has reached his limit.
Maybe I am being big fool again. There is always definitely a possibility of that. But I still have hope that quite a few people are going to be reaching their limit and are brave enough to turn it around, who finally are devoted to the heart of the nation, the people and their constitution and not to a president or ideological cabal or, even, a political party.
At any rate, don't say we never warned you. (:-)

Ron Paul warns of staged terror attack
Republican presidential candidate, Rep. Ron Paul, said the country is in "great danger" of the U.S. government staging a terrorist attack or a Gulf of Tonkin style provocation, as the war in Iraq continues to deteriorate.
The Texas congressman offered no specifics nor mentioned President Bush by name, but he clearly insinuated that the administration would not be above staging an incident to revive flagging support.
"We're in danger in many ways," Paul said on the Alex Jones radio show. "The attack on our civil liberties here at home, the foreign policy that's in shambles and our obligations overseas and commitment which endangers our troops and our national defense."
Paul was asked to respond to comments by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan that the U.S. is in danger of a staged terror attack or a provocation of an enemy similar to the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964 before the Vietnam War.
During the radio interview, Paul said the government was conducting "an orchestrated effort to blame the Iranians for everything that has gone wrong in Iraq."
The comments come as several prominent terrorism experts have warned the U.S. is facing an increased risk of attack this summer. Earlier this week, in an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said he had a "gut feeling" the U.S. would be attacked again.
The remark angered some Democrats, who criticized Chertoff for being too vague. And some pundits seized on his remarks, saying the vague warnings were meant only to revive flagging support for the war in Iraq and Bush’s larger war against terrorism.

I listened to the question. It seemed clear to me that Ron Paul was not commenting on an "false flag terrorist attack." He was simply saying that a "Gulf of Tonkin incident" was a great danger. By this, I assume he means a provocation or distortion of truth in an exchange with Iran to justify war.
Yeah, it could happen. Lies have been used to get the US into war in the past. The probability is enough that given the very great cost, it is definitely a great danger.
Let's address what Ron Paul stands for, what he really said.
