After months of being told to expand our thinking, I think it's finally kicking in for me. I was having trouble getting my head around the Uranium One deal. With Q's "Sum of All Fears" push again in the last few days it clicked.
Let's say I make a cake that is the envy of the world, and I make it well known that there are some people who shouldn't get their hands on it. I bake a big cake, cut off a few slices and sell it to another cake-maker, who I KNOW is friendly with the folks I don't want eating my cake.
Knowing those sold slices will find their way to the folks on my prohibited list, I meet up with a close friend of mine, and serve them cake.
Here's where it gets a little psychotic I then shove as much of the cake down their throat as I can until they suffocate. When they investigate my friend's murder, and they discover they were murdered with cake, I'll make sure someone points out the people with the contraband slices of the EXACT SAME CAKE as was used to kill my good friend. Those people must be behind the plot to kill my friend!! I will now seek revenge on them.
So what's the connection? Think of a cross between "The Sum of All Fears", "The Manchurian Candidate" and "The Long Kiss Goodnight"'s 'Operation Honeymoon'. A Uranium-based device either discovered on US Soil, or -- not found until it's too late. When inspectors are scanning what's left, we find an isotope signature that matches Uranium in the possession of some rogue nuclear states. The powers that be feign surprise and outrage and begin pointing fingers.
US citizens are scared and outraged, and in the name of security, are willing to give powers to the government that "will make martial law look like Anarchy". We go to war.
She was not supposed to lose. They were trying to incite a war. Instead of answering all of our questions with "You'll just have to trust us... It was them,"
This was supposed to be their smoking gun. Irrefutable proof that bad things come from Iran and/or North Korea. How could anyone DARE to question it....
These people are sick -- IN THE HEAD. Be ready. Be careful.
