Pamela Geller: Obama is Planning to Nuke the US

Wingnuts • Views: 6,308

Popular right wing blogger (and writer for Newsmax, World Net Daily, and Andrew Breitbart’s websites) Pamela “Shrieking Harpy” Geller has never had a very firm grasp on reality. But the constant poison and hatred in which she bathes has now apparently rotted away her last shred of sanity.

Today Geller posts another one of her illiterate hate rants, announcing to the world that according to raving kook Jack Wheeler, the monstrous Obama-Thing That Stole the White House is planning an October Surprise to end all October Surprises: Get Wise to October’s Surprise - Shrieking Harpy.

Everything is an Obama-related conspiracy to Geller. Including the economic collapse.

We all know it’s coming. In what shape, idea, form…..who’s to know? Evil always surprises. Its goals are constant, their objective never changes, but inevitably it always manifests itself as the savior of the day, the savior of man. The 2008 Democrat October surprise that ushered in the first hardcore radical post-American president was the “economic collapse.” Oh yes, that was a beaut.

The time before that, the moochers and the looters tried to fake Bush documents — except that the right-wing blogosphere caught them red-handed, so they missed their mark.

(Oh yeah, I sort of remember something about that. Of course, in Geller’s world, it’s now the “right wing blogosphere” that exposed the Rathergate documents, because giving credit where it’s due is so yesterday, and this lets her feed her gigantic ego.)

But the party of haters, infiltrators, anti-capitalists, anti-freedom, anti-individual rights is going to have to pull off something really catastrophic to stay in power this November. And they will, because they despise the premise of America and they mean to replace it with statism, the source of untold, incomprehensible human misery for centuries.

So what is the “really catastrophic” plot being hatched by the monstrous Obama-thing? Oh, nothing much. He’s just planning an act of nuclear terrorism against the US, that’s all.

Our country is faced with an impending economic catastrophe, a Second Great Depression. It is being brought about on purpose by a political party that cares only for keeping and expanding its power, and looks upon prosperity as a threat to that power.

That party is now being threatened with being thrown out of power. If that party is evil enough and fascist enough to cause an economic catastrophe, it is certainly evil and fascist enough to cause a physical catastrophe, an Ultimate October Surprise, that will frighten and enrage voters enough to preserve its power in November.

What could this be? The most likely would be another 9/11, a massively horrific terrorist attack, perhaps even nuclear. An attack for which no one or no group will claim responsibility, no Al Qaeda, no Osama bin Laden, no Timothy McVeigh - just a plethora of pointed fingers at a multitude of suspects, without any sufficiently hard evidence to implicate one in particular.

It will be enough to raise suspicion about the dangerous Tea Party people and anyone who is “anti-government,” enough for people to rally around their Zero-led government in fear and confusion.

Conspiracy theorists who believe that our own government, led by President Bush, perpetrated the First 9/11 attack on America are fruitcake kooks. A part of their brain is unhinged. But if there is a Second 9/11 attack on America this October, and worse than the first, the fully rational response will be to accuse our own government, led by President Zero, of perpetrating it.

The rational response will be to say, This is no accident, comrades.

Yes, those other conspiracy theorists — they’re the ones who are nuts! We’re rational!

How much crazier can Geller get? Stay tuned! She’ll have a hard time topping this one, but don’t worry; she’ll find a way.

Please tell me you have a short-cut keystroke that types all that in for you every time you find yourself having to mention Popular right wing blogger (and writer for Newsmax, World Net Daily, and Andrew Breitbart’s websites) Pamela “Shrieking Harpy” Geller.

I know Oktoberfest is in September, but how can a “9/11 attack” happen in October?

I’d link to her screed, but my computer and I have an understanding. It doesn’t go loopy on me, and I don’t subject it to wingnut and moonbat idiocies. Since I hate to see a computer or myself puke, I refrain from Geller and her ilk whenever possible.

7 What, me worry?  Sat, Jul 10, 2010 12:05:08pm

So the fruitcake kooks who blamed 9/11 on Bush are somehow different than the fruitcake kooks who make up 9/11 stories about Obama that aren’t going to actually happen anyway.

Most be really weird in her head.

From the same article… (find it yourself)…

“The most obvious candidate to do the job would be a Second 9/11, even a Nuclear 9/11 -“

[snip]

“Second, this comprehensive counter needs to have two components. One is the message of anger: get the Dems to understand that whatever they are planning in October, all it will serve to do is make TeaPartyers, conservatives, and independents - a majority of voters - mad. It will serve to increase their anger, not deflect it. So an October Surprise will do no good and will even be counter-productive.”

The connections/disconnections she makes are weird in themselves. She talks about a second 9/11 or a nuclear 9/11, really large events in themselves if they happen, and then goes on to explaining what the reaction from the Tea Party should be… “mad?”

MAD? Well… if the Tea Party is going to be mad, then that will certainly make someone think twice about pulling off something as big as a government contrived nuclear attack.

The rhetoric is goofy to start with.

The right is far crazier now than the left ever was under Bush, and the crazy is mainstreamed in a way that it never was on the left.

I know people don’t like admitting this, but it’s true.

BTW, as a leftie, I don’t like the crazy on the right. It doesn’t make me happy or make me feel good to see it. It’s freakin terrifying and it’s bad for the whole country. You can’t have a functioning democracy with only one sane party.

Upding for saying what I was just thinking.

Perhaps I’m looking at it incorrectly, but it seems to me that with President Obama in office for 18 months now, ODS is far more widespread than BDS was in July 2002, even after discounting for the effects of 9/11. It could be due to the economy, it could be due to 9/11 boosting President Bush’s status with the public, or it could be due to there being more f***ing nutjobs with computer access on the Right than on the Left eight years ago. And, I say this as someone who is slightly right-of-center on most national issues.

Conspiracy theorists who believe that our own government, led by President Bush, perpetrated the First 9/11 attack on America are fruitcake kooks. A part of their brain is unhinged. But if there is a Second 9/11 attack on America this October, and worse than the first, the fully rational response will be to accuse our own government, led by President Zero, of perpetrating it.

Where’s the evidence that Obama committed this non-existent future-crime, upon which a ‘rational’ accusation would have to be based? Is there a secret chamber somewhere with psychic wingnuts floating around in it, recording their dreams? A sort of Wingnority Report?

They’d literally leave the stage with egg all over their faces. Not sure if that’s the real story or if it’s an urban legend, but it makes a sort of sense.

I’ve heard that explanation, but usually from theater people to whom everything is theater and theater is everything.

The right is far crazier now than the left ever was under Bush, and the crazy is mainstreamed in a way that it never was on the left.

I know people don’t like admitting this, but it’s true.

BTW, as a leftie, I don’t like the crazy on the right. It doesn’t make me happy or make me feel good to see it. It’s freakin terrifying and it’s bad for the whole country. You can’t have a functioning democracy with only one sane party.
I will laugh at geller anytime, but the growing spread of all these paranoid ideas about Obama and Dems — the hate they’re marshalling about half the county—scares me.

Oh I agree with you, but I think there are a few crazier than the rest and I consider Geller one. Mostly because she has no basis in reality. She has no proof of anything she says, she doesn’t know “what shape, idea or form” (her words), she just KNOWS. That’s pretty close to loony bin territory.

Jack Knight said…

America: It Was Nice While It Lasted

I hate to say it but I believe America is finished. Obama is obviously incompetent but his movement is not. The communists have effectively taken over the unions, the schools and universities and most of the government (take note that the general who he just fired claims to have voted for him). Obama has placed known communists (or whatever they call themselves, i.e., “progressives,” etc,) in the highest offices of the federal government and is packing the courts with communist appointees. He is at the head of a leviathan juggernaut and I don’t believe for a second that the Republicans simply winning in November will turn the tide. We well may never see another real election again.

What to do? Well, there’s a certain amount of strength in numbers but it will more likely not be strength that we experience but the comfort of being among friends as we are packed into cattle cars. There will, of course, be pockets of resistance against the tyrant but they will be extinguished except for a very small number who will successfully go underground (think the movie “Red Dawn”) or appear to go along with the new order while privately sabotaging it in every way possible. Any careful reading of the events leading up to the communist revolution and the Nazi movement will reveal that neither were necessarily supported by the masses but were successful in taking over through terrorism, intimidation, corruption, greed and sheer thuggery. All of these tactics are being deployed by the tyrants in power as we speak. The police in Dearborn arrested a bunch of Christians for distributing Christian literature to Muslims (who, by the way, have taken over that area), an obvious violation of the First Amendment. The police chief there, incidentally, is Muslim. I don’t need to chronicle the litany of attacks on the American Way since the Obama regime took over, plenty of organizations and websites are doing a fine job of keeping track of the dismantling of the great American Experiment.
What to do? Well, we can resist and drag it out as long as possible and I think we should vigorously pursue that tactic. Even now, the enemy is reluctant to overtly show its hand. I am going to prepare mentally, physically and materially as much as I can (given my age and means) for the worst. I am also going to joyfully enter each of our numbered days (heck, our days were always numbered anyway) with as much enthusiasm and creativity as I can muster. I do lament that my son and his generation will have to grow up in a communist tyranny, but that is the price of complacency. I will try to prepare him emotionally, spiritually and practically to survive in a tyranny (millions of Germans, Soviets and the people of the former Confederate States of America did as well as millions of Koreans, Muslims, Chinese, Cubans and Venezuelans who are surviving it [of course many in those places are surviving in prisons]).

re: #62 ClaudeMonet

Upding for saying what I was just thinking.

Perhaps I’m looking at it incorrectly, but it seems to me that with President Obama in office for 18 months now, ODS is far more widespread than BDS was in July 2002, even after discounting for the effects of 9/11. It could be due to the economy, it could be due to 9/11 boosting President Bush’s status with the public, or it could be due to there being more f***ing nutjobs with computer access on the Right than on the Left eight years ago. And, I say this as someone who is slightly right-of-center on most national issues.

I’d honestly say it has to do a lot with our economic situation, as it pertains to employment. You got millions who’ve lost their jobs or been unable to find one, people losing everything from their cars to their houses, and seeing debt pile upon debt. And Obama didn’t do himself much good by coming out and making lofty promises concerning the Recovery Act that never came true. People are depressed, they’re angry, and they’re looking for an excuse for why things are so bad. Sadly, it seems they’re more willing to accept that Obama is “evil” than they are that Bush simply screwed us royally.

re: #69 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

Agreed. I know some may not agree, but I think part of the reason for Clinton’s successes had to do with regularly locking horns with a Republican Congressional majority.

He locked horns with them, but he also worked with them on occasion. for all his many faults, he knew how to play factions against each other.

Some Presidents have been able to work well or least get some things done with the other party controlling at least one house of Congress, such as Eisenhower (second term), Nixon, and Reagan. Some can’t even work with their party controlling both houses, such as Carter. It’s a function of the personalities of multiple persons.

[part 2 begins:]

Be very careful if you are active in a patriotic organization; I’m sure it is already on a “kill” list. If it hasn’t been already, it will be infiltrated by CI’s (confidential informants, that is: snitches) and government agents. Be especially vigilant if anyone speaks up to propose any kind of militant action; that is a good indicator of someone who is exceptionally stupid or a government provocateur. As a former cop and university professor, I speak from experience and a study of history. Do you notice how quiet the left has become over their former outrage regarding wiretapping and investigation and prosecution of terrorists? Guess who the new terrorists are? Those who oppose this regime and what it stands for may not numerically be in the minority (indeed, polls seem to show a clear majority disapprove of this regime and most of its machinations) but that has not stopped the president and his fellow travelers from labeling Americans who oppose his regime as “anti-government,” “terrorists,” and all manner of trouble makers. It is quite incredible to see a majority marginalized; it is a living oxymoron.

Keep in mind, a handful of thugs with guns can control a disproportionate number of people (that’s one of the reasons they are so anti-Second Amendment). And remember, they control the police and military and don’t think for a minute they will refuse to follow orders. Unfortunately, they have a list of my guns and know exactly where I live, just as they have that information about every legal citizen gun owner in America. Ruminate for just a second on who has lots of unregistered guns, generally are a part of the violent minority that supports Obama (when not selling drugs, robbing stores and killing each other), usually live in large metropolitan places, are made up almost entirely of minorities (many of whom are illegal aliens) and whose names don’t appear on any government list including exactly what and how many guns they have (no, I’m not talking about ACORN, but do you think there might be some connections there?). Do you think that they might eventually be very important and useful idiots when the going gets rough and the police and military can’t do it all? This element of society proved to be useful indeed to the Nazis and communists.

I know this is grim and I hate to even share this, but I would be remiss to not tell the truth as I see it at this critical time. There is just the barest glimmer of possibility that if enough people do what has to be done and do it fast and hard, that we may be able to dodge this lethal bullet coming our way.

“seriously endanger the country” is not nutty rhetoric. Come on.

People become addicted to Fox News. There’s a certain segment of their viewership which is rather elderly and they become entranced. That’s part of the reasoning for hiring the blond women or at least having them die their hair. Large eyes will also contribute to the addictive nature of Fox News.

Out of line.

This is extremely uncool. The hate sites on the right always do it too.

This place is very female friendly and even though I loathe Geller, such comments shouldn’t be made. I don’t think you realise it creates a hostile envirnoment for all women, and I’m sure you don’t want it to or intend it to.
I think it would suck if LGF started to be like every other site that tolerates such speech.

Japan was of course at war with Russia before that, and they felt they got the short end of the stick when the US mediated the peace treaty. Then in WWI Japan was for practical purposes on the side of the allies. Then they decided it was time for them to fulfill some sort of destiny as savior of the Orient from the West.

All the purple heart medals given out to this day were minted in anticipation of the casualties we would have suffered had we been obliged to invade the Japanese Home Islands.

We fully expected to have doubled our killed and wounded in the war to that point, invading Japan.

England was already sending soldiers from Europe to the Pacific as well.

Sorry. Go read about Operation Downfall and it’s suboperations Olympic and Coronet. The casualty estimates were on the order of over one million US troops & 10’s of millions of Japanese military & civilian. For that matter “During World War II, nearly 500,000 Purple Heart medals were manufactured in anticipation of the estimated casualties resulting from the planned Allied invasion of Japan. To the present date, all the American military casualties of the sixty-five years following the end of World War II — including the Korean and Vietnam Wars — have not exceeded that number. In 2003, there were still 120,000 of these Purple Heart medals in stock” [Link: en.wikipedia.org…]

Winston Churchill’s words here on the Atomic Bomb:

“We seemed suddenly to have become possessed of a merciful abridgment of the slaughter in the East and of a far happier prospect in Europe. … At any rate there never was a moment’s discussion as to whether the atomic bomb should be used or not. To avert a vast, indefinite butchery, to bring the war to an end, to give peace to the world, to lay healing hands upon its tortured peoples by a manifestation of overwhelming power at the cost of a few explosions, seemed, after all our toils and perils, a miracle of deliverance.”

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were picked because they had been left pretty much undamaged by previous raids, making it easier to assess the damage.

You know, Occam’s Razor doesn’t like your explanation.

Simpler: why in the world would we bomb something we’d already destroyed for all practical [military] purposes? That’s not a target, it’s just a refugee camp.

There was a military purpose to the attacks. They brought the war to a close in a matter of days, with fewer Japanese civilian casualties than a continuation of the war by conventional means would have involved. Also fewer Japanese military casualties, fewer American military casualties, fewer Chinese civilian casualties, fewer Russian military casualties, etc. etc.

War is a disaster at its best. So the best war is the one that’s over.

No, they shrunk.

Yeah. There’s been a lot of ugly.
Very grateful for the page system. I might have to go back to just that again and stay out of the threads.

I read some of that. Reality has all the nitwits I can handle right now. I do like your screeds, though.re: #393 JasonA

Oh, I am. The possibilities run from the mundane to the profane.

WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO LGF??

I used to be a regular LGF reader but went elsewhere because registration was closed. Came back today, got registered and then read this post slamming and sliming someone who has an article that speculates that there will be another October Surprise. What is so surprising about that? Does LGF REALLY think that the Obama machine is above using a manipulative tactic to attempt to keep it’s hold on power? I followed the link and read the speculative article for what it was - speculation. Frankly, what Geller says is what we all already know, that Obama and his thugs will really do ANYTHING to get and hold power. We have seen the backroom deals/payoffs/bribes to push through the socialist health care bill, the handing over to our enemies our interrogation methods, the idiotic failure to enforce the border, and so many other grossly politically-motivated decisions, so why is the suggestion of another October Surprise described by LGF and it’s commenters as ‘lunacy’ or the like? LGF USED to be a site where truth could be found. What I see today more resembles the National Lampoon or the National Enquirer. It appears to me that LGF has drank the kool-aid.

Please prove me wrong.

you are literally too stupid to insult. and i’m a republican.

re: #397 Right Hooks

If that party is evil enough and fascist enough to cause an economic catastrophe, it is certainly evil and fascist enough to cause a physical catastrophe, an Ultimate October Surprise, that will frighten and enrage voters enough to preserve its power in November.

What could this be? The most likely would be another 9/11, a massively horrific terrorist attack, perhaps even nuclear.


She made the speculation about the Dems using a nuclear attack to stay in power.
Are you sure you want to agree that that’s a rational thought?

Good god man of course he is above nuking an American city. He might not be above some politics as usual (gah!) bullcrap, but that kind of stupid speculation is just mental masturbation for the politically disturbed. BTW, note my nic. I’m no liberal.

That idiotic failure to enforce the border goes back at least 5 Presidents. Now what?

re: #397 Right Hooks

Yeah, Geller defends genocidal Serbian war criminals, and spreads mind-bogglingly stupid conspiracy theories that Obama’s gonna nuke the US, or that he’s the illegitimate son of Malcolm X, and LGF is “drinking the koolaid?”

Hah!

You registered to post this nonsense? You’ll be much happier posting comments elsewhere, I’m sure. Bye now.

Just saw that! With an underscore this time? Damn. (ps emailed you!)

Well, all I can say is, every day and in every way we see evidence that health care reform is desperately needed; so many people are going without medication. /

Wonder how many times this OCD sufferer will try, or how many crazed emails CJ will get now. :(

Yeah, someone like that can get help quicker. I think he’s up to 3 register attempts which includes the now blocked nicknames.
