I want to raise the awareness of this to all kossax because by now I am extremely suspicious of these criminals who are now in power. They could try to use the last thing they have, military power, to try to keep the power they have now.
Apparently, Executive Directive 51 gives the president near dictatorial powers and was only recently issued, see the link below. One of these powers
is the authority to postpone elections, which would be rather convenient given the current climate.

The response of some was dismissive. This is not just wild speculation. THese are conclusions drawn from the facts.
This immediately raised red flags as to the intensions of this gang of crooks:
At the outset of Bush's second term, Vice President Dick Cheney dropped a bombshell. He hinted, in no uncertain terms, that Iran was "right at the top of the list" of the rogue enemies of America, and that Israel would, so to speak, "be doing the bombing for us", without US military involvement and without us putting pressure on them "to do it":
"One of the concerns people have is that Israel might do it without being asked... Given the fact that Iran has a stated policy that their objective is the destruction of Israel, the Israelis might well decide to act first, and let the rest of the world worry about cleaning up the diplomatic mess afterwards," (quoted from an MSNBC Interview Jan 2005)
This is a nice comment from a british official:
Meanwhile, for the last two years, Washington has been
involved in covert intelligence operations inside Iran. American and British intelligence and special forces (working with their Israeli counterparts) are involved in this operation.
"A British intelligence official said that any campaign against Iran would not be a ground war like the one in Iraq. The Americans will use different tactics, said the intelligence officer. 'It is getting quite scary.'"
What is Iran actually capable of?
Tehran has confirmed that it will retaliate if attacked, in the form of ballistic missile strikes directed against Israel (CNN, 8 Feb 2005). These attacks, could also target US military facilities in the Persian Gulf, which would immediately lead us into a scenario of military escalation and all out war.
How 'prepared' is Israel?
A massive buildup in military hardware has occurred in preparation for a possible attack on Iran.
Israel has recently taken delivery from the US of some 5,000 "smart air launched weapons" including some 500 BLU 109 'bunker-buster bombs. The (uranium coated) munitions are said to be more than "adequate to address the full range of Iranian targets, with the possible exception of the buried facility at Natanz, which may require the [more powerful] BLU-113 bunker buster ":
In that previous diary, several issues came up:
why does McBush want Russia out the G8?
How aware of this is our Congress?
Read that diary too, it's very informative..
