EGYPTIAN GOVERNMENT ABANDONS ALEXANDRIA
The Telegraph July 14, 2008
The government of the Islamic Republic of Egypt has evacuated from Alexandria as Israeli forces draw closer.
Due to the recent upheaval in the country, the Egyptian military has suffered a decrease in quality as senior officers have been purged in favour of more fanatical but less experienced Muslim Brotherhood soldiers. Complicating Egypt's situation, there continues to be widespread unrest as citizens continue to protest the government's draconian application of Islamic Law.
As of now, the Islamic Republic has moved the capital to the city of Aswan.

Its one thing to take somewhere, its another thing to hold it, especially a very large population centre such as Alexandria. Israeli could have a manpower problem here in the not too distant future, especially given the problems their having with more and more religious fundamentalist Jews claiming exemption from military service.

In comparison to the Democratic convention, the Republican National Convention, held at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota from August 1-4, was far less eventful. Santorum, still paralyzed but now sounding far more coherent, and Lott were easily renominated for President and Vice President respectively. Various Religious Right activists, like Douglas Coe and Gary North, gave speeches praising the Santorum administration's efforts to "reestablish Christian influence in America's public sphere."
However, some observers noticed some tension between Santorum and Lott. While Santorum had made significant strides in his recovery from the attempt on his life, it appeared that Lott wasn't quite willing to go back to being his number two. This would be the source of much trouble later on.

This would be the source of much trouble later on.Chris Hedges, Santorumstan: Life Under American Theocracy, 2012 Having assumed the role of acting president until Santorum recovers from his wounds inflicted by Calley's attempt on his life, Lott has probably been secretly making plans to govern the country himself indefinitely, relegating Frothy to the role of his puppet. If that's true, I'm wondering whether it's less because he desires the power of the presidency and more because he believes that the bullet Frothy took to his head has affected his mental state, and doesn't wan't him to regain control for fear that he'll do something stupid. Certainly there's plenty of things that might cause Frothy to do so: The secession of the Marianas and the ongoing US naval blockade, the revelation of the US military aiding the Indian military junta in repressing pro-democracy activists, the ongoing conflict with the Continental Army rebels and the failure of the false-flag attack Operation Festival, etc. And knowing how crazy acting he was before he got shot, Santorum is undoubtably not going to react well to Lott attempting to use him as his puppet. I strongly suspect that the end of the Santorum regime is going to begin with a nasty falling-out between Frothy & Lott and then things will escalate from there...

SANTORUM: I really don't know why Lott is fussing so much. My mind is perfectly clear now that I've cut back on the meds. COULTER: Even if you are feeling better, it's best that you don't overwork yourself. SANTORUM: This has nothing to do with me "overworking myself". That bastard just wants to take over my job. COULTER: With all due respect, you shouldn't be so paranoid. SANTORUM: We'll see who's "paranoid" soon.

VICE PRESIDENT KILLED BY CAR BOMB New York Times August 8, 2008 Vice President Trent Lott was killed today by a bomb in Bismarck, North Dakota. Lott, who was in Bismarck on the campaign trail, was waiting for President Santorum in the presidential state car when a bomb planted beneath the rear seat went off. Santorum has blamed the bombing on "anti-American agents" in the United States government and has vowed to find the culprit. Oh Holy Hell, VP Lott just got blown to bits - the crap is really going to hit the fan now... but just who did it?
With all that the Santorum Regime has done and how many people he's ticked off, this attack, as Frothy has claimed, could have been perpetrated by rogue individuals within some part of the US government - perhaps certain agents who had committed illegal acts ordered by Frothy himself, including murder, and who decided that he had to be eliminated (1) to prevent him from any more damage to the country and/or (2) in order to erase any connection between themselves and said illegal acts before his whole administration goes down in flames... Hell, they could have been targeting both Frothy & Lott, trying to kill two birds with one stone, and ended up killing only Lott due to Frothy not reaching the car on time.
Another possibility is that the Continental Army was responsible - I suspect a good number of them would like nothing better to put Frothy six feet under, and there may very well be members of the CA within certain agencies of the US government... But I doubt they are responsible for this particular act. Remember, the Continental Army's greatest priority in their quest to get rid of the Santorum Regime is to keep the public on their side, and thus they want to avoid any unnecessary killing at all costs. If they were going to try to assassinate Frothy, I'm guessing they would most likely employ a sniper armed with a high-powered rifle firing from a hidden cover and/or from a distance so he/she could make a quick getaway afterwards. Getting up close and personal with a concealed handgun (or a knife or a syringe full of poison) - I think that's highly unlikely. Frothy's Secret Service detail is going to be extra-vigilant after the late William Calley's attempt on his life... With a car bomb there's simply too much risk that other people will get killed - or that the wrong individual will get killed, as was just proven by Lott's death!
But let's get serious... Was the wrong individual killed? I think not. Frothy was already pretty crazy before he became POTUS, and he was getting crazier all through his first term even before Calley put a bullet in his forehead. And despite the fact that he seems to be recovering, I strongly believe the injury Frothy sustained to his brain has made him even crazier than before. With all the public speculating that Lott was using him as his puppet, and Lott's seeming unwillingness to go back to being Frothy's #2, Frothy concluded (perhaps correctly) that Lott was attempting to steal his job from him (His earlier conversation with Chief of Staff Ann Coulter reveals that), and perhaps in his damaged mind he feared Lott was going to try to have him eliminated, the same way Frothy had ordered those who had crossed him or were an obstacle to his plans to be eliminated, and thus ordered his underlings to get rid of Lott permanently... I'm guessing his own Secret Service agents were involved - he's already had them bump off Senator Grassley and attempt to bump off Governor Crist - planting a bomb in the presidential state car would be easy for them to do.
And now Frothy's laying the blame on rogue individuals within the US government itself... Undoubtably he'll try to use the assassination of Lott to crack down on the Continental Army and any other rebel groups opposed to his regime... And I believe that just like with Operation Festival, the majority of Americans are going to see right through Frothy's claim of Lott's assassination being the work of "anti-American agents", and lay the blame where it rightfully belongs - on Rick "Frothy" Santorum and his much-detested regime!

SANTORUM NOMINATES NEW VP
Wall Street Journal August 9, 2008
President Santorum has nominated Iowa Governor Steve King to replace the late Trent Lott as Vice President.
Since being elected in the 2002 gubernatorial election, King has attracted controversy for statements and policies that have been characterized by opponents as bigoted against homosexuals, non-whites, and non-Christians. King has been an enthusiastic supporter of the Santorum administration's policies.

SUSPECT NAMED IN DEATH OF LOTT
New York Times August 12, 2008
A suspect has been arrested and charged with the assassination of Vice President Trent Lott.
Gerard "Gerry" Phibbs, an agent with the Secret Service for six years, was arrested yesterday after incriminating e-mails were found which implicated him in the planning of the bomb.
FBI Director John Ashcroft announced the arrest in a press release this morning. He has expressed his belief that Phibbs is part of a larger conspiracy against the Santorum administration.

Of course with all that's gone on and the shady actions of the government is this an act by rogue opponents of the regime or some internal house clearing, especially since Lott seems to have been very happy taking over while the President was indisposed. I would suspect that Santorum or someone close to him is probably the most likely candidate.
Good to see an update.

My thoughts exactly...
The assassination of VP Lott could have been the actions of rogue Secret Service who decided they'd committed too many crimes on President Santorum's orders and thus he had to be eliminated, but unfortunately ended up getting Lott instead, but considering just how much crazier and more paranoid Frothy has become due to his near-fatal injuries from Calley's assassination attempt, and suspected Lott was trying to take over his job from him, I suspect the assassination was another criminal act committed by Secret Service loyal to Santorum on his orders so he could appoint the bigot Steve King as his new VP. If that's the case, the arrest of veteran agent Gerry Phibbs due to the discovery of incriminating e-mails implicating him in Lott's assassination, followed by Ashcroft's public expression of his belief of the existence of a larger conspiracy working to remove Frothy and his regime from power, is nothing but a cover story so that Frothy can remove those within his inner circle who knows too much and might be disloyal to him.
Think about it... Just why the hell would any member of such a conspiracy, particularly a Secret Service agent, communicate plans for an assassination with other conspirators via e-mail, knowing that computers can be hacked and e-mails traced, and knowing just how large the stakes are that are being played for? (Better for them to communicate by the written word transported via a trusted courier, as paper can be burned or shredded, or in face-to-face meetings at certain undisclosed locations.) Seriously, the whole thing stinks, and I believe that those members of the the American public opposed to the Santorum regime will think so too!

CHINA FORMALLY ANNEXES ARUNACAL PRADESH
Reuters August 28, 2008
Nearly seven years after the People's Liberation Army first set foot in the region, the People's Republic of China has officially annexed Arunachal Pradesh.
The PLA initially occupied the region shortly after the nuclear war between India and Pakistan in December 2001. Since then, the Chinese government has been engaged in what has been described by a slow assimilation process. Indo-Aryan residents have been driven out while the occupiers have embarked on a propaganda campaign to win the loyalty of native ethnic groups.
The Indian government has furiously condemned the move and refused to recognize the annexation. With India's military still in an extremely degraded state, however, actual military action appears to be unlikely.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION ENDS WITHOUT MAJORITY, CONTINGENT ELECTION SCHEDULED
New York Times November 4, 2008
In a stunning turn of events, the 2008 US Presidential Election has ended with none of the candidates gaining the required number of votes in the Electoral College to win the presidency.
Representative Bud Cramer (D-AL) came in first at 250 votes, just 20 votes shy of the required 270 votes. Former Vermont governor Howard Dean (D-VT), leading a splinter faction of Democrats dissatisfied with Cramer's conservative views, came in second at 200 votes. Incumbent president Santorum garnered just 50 votes. New York real estate tycoon Donald Trump, who mounted an independent campaign, came in last with a mere 38 votes.
In accordance with the US Constitution, Congress will meet at the beginning of the next Congress session on January 3 to conduct a contingent election.

Oh hell no, none of the candidates gained enough votes to win the presidency? Methinks that events are going to escalate very soon... since Frothy only gained 50 electoral votes in contrast to Cramer's 250 and Dean's 200, that's a very real sign that the American people are not pleased with the job he's been doing, and with 2 months until Congress holds the contingent election, that's a long enough time for the Santorum regime to conduct even more underhanded skulduggery (More than likely attempting to find some way to steal or cancel the election?), as well as for the opposition candidates to rally their supporters and for the Continental Army to lay plans of their own to take matters into their own hands should the worst happen...
