It's Wayne Madsen's scenario of a serious "terror alert" in the western states, aimed at capturing some big chunks of electoral votes in the event that the east coast does not go well for Bush.  If you could disrupt the L.A. freeway system, you could really shave off a lot of Dem votes.  And we have Schwarzenegger for Gov., and Democrat and anti-Diebold Kevin Shelley for Sec. of State-- who has been hit with some mysterious scandals that seem to be aimed at discrediting him (misuse of HAVA funds).  Could this have been deliberately designed for Swarz to overrule Shelley on an important election-terror alert issue (such as:  Is the CA vote okay if it is a partial vote?)?  

Wouldn't surprise me at all.  Karl Rovianism writ large.  

It certainly is indicative of our opinion of our government that we would be seriously considering it.  

It seems like a lot of the pieces are falling into place (f.i., recent schools terror alert that turned out to be bogus--mind games on parents, re: choosing between picking up kids at school or voting).

I hope some of the good guys, somewhere, have a plan for what to do, if they pull such a thing.  And I think, too, that we can only overcome it with moral force--with a huge Kerry mandate (GOTV!)--and persistence and steadfastness in reclaiming our democracy, whatever happens.
