I saw the headlines at The Drudge Report and immediately thought of Dallas on November 22, 1963.
| Report: Security relaxed at Obama speech
The Secret Service told Dallas police to stop screening for weapons while people were still arriving at a campaign rally for Barack Obama, a report said. Police stopped checking people for weapons at the front gates of Reunion Arena more than an hour before the Democratic presidential hopeful appeared on stage Wednesday, the Fort Worth (Texas) Star-Telegram reported. Police said the order to stop using metal detectors and checking purses and laptop bags constituted a security lapse, the newspaper reported. Dallas Deputy Police Chief T.W. Lawrence — who heads the department’s homeland security and special operations divisions — told the Star-Telegram the order had been intended to speed up seating of the more than 17,000 people who came to hear the candidate speak. Lawrence said he was concerned about the large number of people being let in without being screened, but that the crowd seemed “friendly,” the newspaper said. |
Friendly? Seemed friendly?! Didn’t President Kennedy hear a “Dallas loves you, Mr. President” comment shortly before his assassination?
In Dallas!
Something seems fishy here.
Maybe the fish is in the reporting.
Or maybe there’s something more sinister afoot? 😯
- The proverbial “powers that be” want Hillary Clinton to get the Democrat nomination?
- Those same alleged PTBs want a sympathy vote for Mr. Obama?
- Somebody wants the memories of Vince Foster and Ron Brown resurrected?
- The aforementioned PTBs want to stir a pro-Democrat sympathy vote in the general election?
- An assassination now would really destabilize the United States?
Who knows.
But I find the whole affair — should it turn out true — to be incredibly unbelievable.
