Fox on CA Wildfires
thinkprogress.org

Boy, is al-Qaida ever busy these days!  In addition to threatening U.S. troops in Iraq, running riot in the hinterlands of Pakistan and generally requiring huge amounts of money and the potential sacrifice of thousands of lives to thwart its infiltration on several fronts, al-Qaida might even be behind the wildfires currently plaguing Southern California, according to “Fox and Friends.”

How odd.  People will believe that al-Qaida planned and carried out 9/11 from the caves in Afghanistan, but refuse to believe they planned and carried out arson.  The arson and unusual tunnel fire on I-5 seem plausible; 9/11 does not.

Thought we were fighting them over there so we did not have to fight them here.  Oh well there goes another nonsensical reason for being over there.

The real truth is Al Qaida is running Fox news.Rupert Murdoch was seen running around the Fox offices wearing a burka.We all know that Bill O’Reilly’s fantasy is to have four wives.It seems that Al Qaida’s stategy is to make us so scared that we start shooting ourselves.I have heard that Fox news is talking about merging with AL Jazeera.Good they deserve each either.

Who would’ve known America could be brought down in flaming ruins with simple weapons like box cutters and packs of matches?

Kruschev must be spinning in his grave.

Anybody with a brain knows that Osama is manipulating the weather and causing climate change.

Murdoch, the owner of Fox News, has created a forum for the GOP and its 20% hard core patriots.
It is the Pravda of Russian communists and its predecessor, the Soviet Union. Its mission is to give the right-wing politicians a forum for fact-distortion, deception, and denial. Every single employee at Fox goose-steps to the neo-CON cadence. Just like the old comrades did for Joe Stalin et al.

In stead of fighting Al Qaeda, bringing Bin Laden to justice, rebuilding New Orleans, preventing the second fire blaze in California in as many years, restoring sound economic policies, reducing the deficit, providing healthcare for children, bridging the gaping hole in Minnesota, stopping the morgage meltdown and predatory lending practices by the neo-conservascist fellow travelers, the Bush administration continues the genocide in Iraq and is blaming others for its own failure.

OMG!  What a bunch of LIARS!!!  I live in CA and there was no sighting of arsonist by police or anyone else from a helicopter!  The Santiago fire in Orange County is suspected of being arsson because the burn patterns indicate 3 seperate starting points.  Most of the other fires were started by downed power lines due to the strong santa ana winds.  I suppose Al Quida is responsible for the high wind gusts!  Give me a break!

OK when most people question 9/11, JFK assasination, etc. They are called CT’ers, but when the Media comes up with the craziest CT’s, the majority treat it as fact. Why?  Because if its on the TUBE it must be true—AMERICAN FALLACY #1

aL-Qaeda and Talmudic Recording Studios announce the release of Bin Laden’s “Greatest Hits”

You’ve read about it online and saw the text messages on your cell. Now, Talmudic Recording Studios is pleased to announce the release of the long awaited Bin Laden CD, entitled: “Yankee Imperialists Go Home.”

Yes, this CD is bound to bring a bang—literally—to anyone ordering it.  The CD features some of BL’s greatest hits, like:

Street Fighting Man… in the streets of Tal Afar, Hebron and Baghdad

Gimme Shelter(From Armageddon)

The Last Time(America embarks on another war for Israel)

You Can’t Always Get What you Want (Ode to Ariel Sharon)

Under My Thumb (Are the American Occupation Forces)

Sympathy For The Devil: Dedicated to GW Bush

Missed You…(With my first shot)

Honky Tonk Women (Won’t be seen in Islamabad)

It’s All Over Now (Imperialist American Forces)

Beast Of Burden (Carrying IED’s)

Shattered (By the B-2 Carpet Bombing)

Love Is Strong (But my AK-47 is stronger)

Anybody Seen My Baby(Since the Smart Bombs Dropped?)

And if you send in your money now—no Yankee dollars, only Euro’s—Rita Katz and S.I.T.E.  will throw in a upcoming video they’re working on that has an actor portraying BL, threatening death and destruction to America.
(Editor’s note: This is a golden opportunity to view this unreleased video ahead of the official release. This video will not be released until Bush and Cheney need their aL-Qaeda “boogeyman” to pop up on cue, to scare and distract Americans from reality.
Word is that since the last video release of BL flopped, S.I.T.E. has upgraded their computers and is promising a more realistic looking BL the next time. Don’t miss viewing this video before its actual launch date.)

The package consists of two 20-track CDs ( on the 72 Virgins label) that represent an unprecedented joint cooperative venture between Bin Laden, Rita Katz and S.I.T.E.  and Talmudic Recording Studios.

Destined to confirm to both long time and new fans why BL and company have been acknowledged as ‘The World’s Most Dangerous Rock ‘n Roll Band,’ the collection features digitally remastered classic BL hits.

Decades in the making, this CD will now be available to anyone with enough balls to send in 29.95 (Euro) to:

BL’s Greatest Hits
P.O. Box 1984: Cave #3
Waziristan, Pakistan

P.S. Expect delivery in 6-10 weeks, unless the infidels find our recording studio.

A Talmudic Recording Studios Enterprise, a subsidiary of MOSSAD productions, which is owned by BETAR.

Next it will be al-Qaida causing tornadoes as a test run on their hurricane machine.  Eventually, they will be blamed on it suddenly becoming dark every evening - those bastards!
