Nobody Dies, And You Get To Renew The Patriot Act
Intelligence is being insulted worldwide after the "attempted explosions" in London. Blair and Howard have already trotted out their standard speech on resolve, and another demonstration on why all civilized people need to help them stay the course in their bungled "War on Terror," which is being demonstrated every day now to be increasing same.
We're being told that it's another big nasty sophisticated terrorist strike on a great city. But, the descriptions sound more like Laurel and Hardy. Even Fox can't find much to strike fear into hearts worldwide, and that is of course what Fox is meant to do.
FOX:
McCracken said he smelled smoke, and people were panicking and coming into his carriage. He said he spoke to an Italian man who was comforting a woman after the evacuation."He said that a man was carrying a rucksack and the rucksack suddenly exploded. It was a minor explosion but enough to blow open the rucksack," McCracken said. "The man then made an exclamation as if something had gone wrong. At that point everyone rushed from the carriage."
Honestly... does this sound like the typical grim paramilitary slickness of what the media typically refers to as "Al-Qaeda?
BBC:
Police sources say the blasts may have been near simultaneous and that they are being linked with the 7 July bombs.
What is this "link?" A ragtag bunch of copycats from some radical mullah somewhere, or really and truly a second op with all the carefully laid out deadly precision of the first which just happened to fail on a truly dramatic scale?
So far the key semiotic here seems to be the oft-repeated phrase (which, apparently, came from the cops) of "attempted explosions." In other words, there was carnage and mayhem and panic in the streets and body parts everywhere and economic disaster and the carefully planned destruction of a world capital... except for one little detail. There wasn't. Oh, but they wanted to, so it must have happened.
Honestly... do highly trained and drilled terrorists do "attempted explosions?" No, 12-year-old kids putting firecrackers in beer cans do "attempted explosions" when the fuse goes out.
12-year old kids and, of course, anyone wanting to panic a metropolitian area while not creating a massive blowback if they are ever found out somewhere down the line, as these ops invariably are.
Meanwhile, someone on the Hill has already grabbed a photo op by saying this proves we have to renew all of the Patriot Act, and add some new stuff while we're at it.
Nice coincidence, in a period which has been marked by same.
Of course, it is way too soon to propose conspiracy theories. Therefore, we'll let it go at, "Nobody dies, and you get to renew the Patriot Act." Two events, one affecting the other, but without a provable link at this time. It will be interesting to see if these two huge dots ever actually connect.

It's still interesting to connect these particular dots, but meanwhile the investigation is apparently turning up some new dots altogether.
(I say "apparently" because it's the mainstream media, and it's all coming from the cops. Not my two favorite sources.)
One interesting theory that would allow for the same bunch to have done both attacks in London, and for the second one to fail miserably, is if the explosive got old.
Don't laugh. The homemade explosive that we are being told was used by this group degrades rapidly. If the bombs came from the same batch, as we are being told they did, they would have the exact effect we have seen. A pop from the detonator, than an aww shit from the perp.
(FED NOTE: This came from a friend who went to an undisclosed site. I personally am not in the habit of researching how to make explosives, vastly preferring art and semiotics as weapons. However, it is basic college level chemistry that the particular compound they supposedly made is one that degrades in days, not months.)
