Uh-Oh. No Orange Alert for State of the Union Address

Uh-Oh. No Orange Alert for State of the Union Address

Interestingly for a regime as paranoid as that of Bush, NO Orange Alert has been declared in connection with the delivery of the State of the Union address tonight. Only the standard "tightening of security".

This is curious as tonight the entire US House of Representatives, US Senate, US Supreme Court, President, Vice-President and Cabinet are to be assembled in one place at one time - the last time they are expected to do so before the possible 2004 election scheduled for November. Orange alerts have been declared over much smaller matters than this, in fact just a few weeks ago.

An effective pseudoterrorist attack would place the US under firm military dictatorship, without recourse to a Congress, a Supreme Court, or even a President. If Bush's agents who were behind 9/11, the Wellstone assassination and others have now decided that Bush has outlived his own usefulness to them and is now a political liability, they would certainly have no compunction about faking another terrorist attack to achieve their goals.

Or if they want to retain Bush, it would be a simple matter to accomplish their objectives while the US Congress and US Supreme Court await the arrival of the moron from the White House.

A sense of deja vu might be appropriate. When was the last time "lax security" was cited as a reason for a major attack on US soil in order to cancel the freedom of the whole people while targeting a religious minority?

Washington (AP) - Security will be tight in the District of Columbia for Tuesday night's State of the Union address. D.C. police will activate their Joint Operations command center that utilizes surveillance cameras in the city, allowing authorities to look for any signs of suspicious activities.

Authorities expect to activate the cameras at about 2 p.m. Tuesday afternoon. There also will be several street closings around the Capitol beginning at 7 p.m.

U.S. Capitol Police spokeswoman Jessica Gissebel says Independence and Constitution Avenues will be shut between Third Street on the western side of the Capitol and 2nd Street on the eastern side.

Several blocks surrounding the Senate and House office buildings also will be closed. President Bush is expected to begin his speech at about 9 p.m.
