A very liberal family member gave me his opinion of the upcoming election.
This will be the sum and substance of his comments as I can remember them.
This is if he [Obama] doesn't get shot. The neocons have it set up, if it looks like Obama is going to win, that there will be some kind of "red flag" event [explain later] in Iran, most likely, and Bush [this is before the election] will declare an "emergency." Now after this with powers available to the President he will suspend the election and remain in power.
This "red flag" thing would be a "made up" event we would conspire with Iran to do this. Remember this is the neocons that are plotting this.
Why would anyone in Iran want to plot with the U.S. to keep a leader in power who is not friendly to Iran to keep out Obama who would seem to be more of a friend?
He said this was his opinion and when I said he was not entitled to this opinion because it had no basis in fact or reality. I was told that he hoped I was right and what he described would not happen.
I invite comments also if anyone has any idea where this idea comes from.
