Obama’s Feared “Lone Wolf Attack” Could Save His Presidency

Previous crises have presented unrivaled opportunities for US Presidents

Barack Obama made headlines yesterday when he spoke about his fear of a “lone wolf attack” in America carried out by an individual with a “hateful ideology”. But far from striking a blow against his administration, such an attack would galvanize Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign, as many political strategists have pointed out.

“The most likely scenario that we have to guard against right now ends up being more of a lone wolf operation than a large, well coordinated terrorist attack,” Obama told CNN during a campaign stop in Iowa.

“The risk that we’re especially concerned over right now is the lone wolf terrorist, somebody with a single weapon being able to carry out wide-scale massacres of the sort we saw in Norway recently,” said Obama.

Perversely, should the United States suffer a similar tragedy to Anders Breivik’s rampage in Norway, Obama’s hopes of securing a second term in the White House will receive a huge boost. Following the Oslo bombing and the Utoya island massacre, Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg’s popularity has soared – in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy his approval rating leapt to 94 per cent.

History shows us that terror attacks present unrivaled opportunities for US Presidents to recapture popular support and rally the country around a strong leader.

In the aftermath of 9/11, President Bush’s approval ratings shot up from around the 50 per cent level to the 90 per cent mark, allowing him to pursue his geopolitical agenda in the middle east with a free hand.

Similarly, Bill Clinton was able to extinguish an anti-incumbent rebellion which was brewing in the mid 1990′s by exploiting the OKC bombing to demonize his political enemies as right-wing extremists. As Jack Cashill points out, Clinton “descended on Oklahoma City with an approval rating in the low 40s and left town with a rating well above 50 and the Republican revolution buried in the rubble.”

  • A d v e r t i s e m e n t

Absent a major crisis between now and November next year that Obama can exploit in order to rack up political points, his presidency is a dead duck. Obama’s approval ratings are in free fall, sinking to a new record low of 39 per cent in recent days. Every indication shows that Obama is on his way to a landslide defeat in 2012.

That’s why top political strategists are honest in their assessment that only a catalyzing crisis can turn around Obama’s political destiny.

Appearing on Chris Matthews’ MSNBC Hardball show last year, former Clintonite and Democrat operative Mark Penn said Obama needed an OKC bombing-style event to regain his popularity.

“Remember, President Clinton reconnected through Oklahoma, right?” said Penn. “And the president right now seems removed. It wasn’t until that speech [after the bombing] that [Clinton] really clicked with the American public. Obama needs a similar defining moment.”

Former senior advisor to President Bill Clinton Robert Shapiro echoed similar rhetoric when he wrote in the Financial Times that only an OKC bombing or 9/11 style event could provide Obama with the opportunity to demonstrate that he is a strong leader.

“The bottom line here is that Americans don’t believe in President Obama’s leadership,” said Shapiro, adding, “He has to find some way between now and November of demonstrating that he is a leader who can command confidence and, short of a 9/11 event or an Oklahoma City bombing, I can’t think of how he could do that.”

With a mere 17 per cent of Americans believing that the U.S. government has the consent of the governed, a shocking collapse in confidence that has left Americans “pre-revolutionary,” only a significant outside threat can now re-unite the country behind Obama and leave him any chance of defeating the Republican candidate in next year’s presidential run off.

  1. Oh wow, more boogy-man terrorist fear mongering, what a shocker.

    I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:

    I would rather die a free man by getting blown up by a terrorist, then to live “protected” as a slave to the federal government.

    “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” – Ben Franklin

  2. Couldnt agree more marxism/communism/corporatism/globalism is a hateful ideology

  3. I find it interesting that since Obama “apparently” offed OBL, he’s lost a focal point for the American people to place blame. Now that energy is being focused on the economy and his lack of leadership. I suspect we’ll see a false flag in the near future for the people to rally behind him.

  4. its called wag the dog. just about every so-called president has used this tactic. this next one will make 911 look small.

  5. What we are being programmed to do now is trust no one. Suspect your neighbor, suspect veterans, suspect walmart shoppers on cell phones, suspect anyone who tells it like it is, suspect your parents for god’s sake! Don’t buy into that shit. And trust YOURSELF to know right from wrong. Then choose right. placeofrefuge2012.com

  6. Here are some COMEBACKS to RINOS—

    It was the Saudi’s who were identified by our FBI to have been the ones “responsible” for 9/11. Then, why is it we haven’t invaded attacked SAUDI ARABIA?? Hmmm.

    Everyone knows what the Military Industrial Complex is, but why is it that they aren’t willing to make one solitary single cutback—why can’t we close our bases at least bring our boys home from NON-threatening countries GERMANY JAPAN, for starters?? But they will NOT give an inch! Hmmmm.

    Those are good starters. We need to shake the RINOS up. We are going to a RINO meeting tonight at a park. We intend to politely stir the locals up aside from the organized speakers and on the “side”. Ha!

  7. Actally I believe the opposite might happen. If something did happen, instead of praising Obama, people may accuse him for having it happening on his watch. Whether real or created by them themselves, it could backfire on him because of this.

  8. I have to believe people are now wise to false flag attacks as means to gain political power.

    • I agree with you. Many people are awake to what has been going on. I talk to strangers constantly and they are all angry at how our country has been run into the grouind. Most agree they believe a revolution is going to happen.

  9. “The Sheriff is a N…..”

  10. Only time someone will strike is if Osama Obama gets voted a second term! who knows he might get a 3rd! I mean there is no constitution !

  11. Oh please. The TeaBags and lunatic Right, our own domestic terrorists, have already saved his Presidency.. Two polls yesterday have him ahead everywhere and he has horrible numbers. God knows I can’t stand him, but will I take even the smallest chance to but a Right Wing Nutbag in the WH? HELL no.

  12. Sounds like he’s just answering a question, how was he supposed to respond? He didn’t rule anything in or out, he just gave his informed opinion on what if any type of attack was likely to happen next.

    Should he have said “no, nothing will ever happen again” or “Yes a nuke will go off on 9/11?” I know you people on here would say he should admit to having prior knowledge of any forthcoming attack, but that is fantasy and would never happen. So based on that, again I ask, What was he supposed to say?

    • the fantasy is that this person is acting as our president and hes not a citizen. theres nothing but fantasy in his life.

      • Again, more fantasy. Where is the proof? Why haven’t you taken your evidence to the highest court in the land and make your case.

        He’s produced a birth document, he was voted in as president by a majority and as yet there has been ZERO proof of anybody conclusively and legally proving him to be wrong. Can you not see the hypocrisy?

        You all claim on here to be critical thinkers. now no matter what I thought on his birth issue I recognize you win some and you lose some. A sensible person wouldn’t attempt to fight every battle but would pick there battles more wisely

        You guys are like a pack of wild animals that pounce on anything without really thinking OR following through with it and thats why the majority still think of the “truthers” as a bunch of conspiracy nuts

        Your not organized, calculated and you don’t have the will or desire to put right the injustice you feel.

        It’s like your all stuck on a rotating wheel like a mouse and you cant get off it.

    • of what will happen next, because he already planned it…. Find a person in poverty, Have him carry out the attack, give him immunity like Osama and fake his death. Its gold!

  13. PRAY FOR RON,HE IS IN DANGER,KENNEDY UNDERESTIMATED THEM,IF RON WERE TAKEN OUT,WE HAVE NO ONE ON OUR SIDE…………………………………………

    • I agree with you 100%!

  14. HELLO TO THE FINE SAILORS AT NAVAL AIR STATION OCEANA

    This shout out is really to the techie geeks at the Naval Air Station Oceana.

    Your military IP addresses showed up in my firewall log again this morning.

    MY FIREWALL REVEALS THE FOLLOWING (not for the first time either):

    [DoS Attack: ACK Scan] from source: 208.64.120.37, port 80, Wednesday, August 17,2011 04:59:50

    You tried to hide behind the cloud of a server owned by Black Lotus Communications. When I peel back the Black Lotus “cloud” I find the real culprit:

    NAS Oceana (NTU), Virginia Beach, VA 23454, USA

    I have also discovered and removed a trojan keylogger and smtp stub that you fellows gifted to me.

    Nice job fellows!!!! Hope you exhibit better skills when battling the Chinese in the cyberwars.

    =============================================================

    The above info is meant to be an example of a technique that can and will be utilized to “false flag” a lone wolf.

    Access to your computers is a high priority amongst government types.

    Once they have hacked you they can plant whatever “evidence” they want.

    • peerblock gives me about 20 blocks a second from my ISP and US gov. My laptop will vanish into my ass before they get a hold of it

      • I leave this one laptop a bit “open” as sort of a “honeypot” but the rest of my network is fire-walled with both hardware and software layers.

        Their attempt would have been a mere blip in my firewall log had I not wanted to see what they were trying to deliver.

        My outer rim firewall is blocking at about 20-30 per second at times like yours.

        • so I am bummin?

    • I dont know much about computers but mine sounds like a vacume cleaner it is in hi gear and i dont know how to make sure i dont get framed

  15. Once again they are preparing us for their staged event for political gain.

    And the majority of the sheeple will fall for it with the exception of the Infowariors and maybe a few others.

    Sad looser cannot win any other way. So he will murder more innocent people for his own political gain.

    We

  16. With 22% unemployment, nothing saves a presidency except rigged elections.

    • 22% isnt true number.THEY only count those who CURRENTLY get unemployment check,The people that used to build houses have been unemployed sooooo long,and no longer get unemployment check,DONT GET COUNTED,get it ?THEY have never given us REAL DATA.

  17. CNN fear mongers… then Alex Jones fear mongers… then all of you fear monger… see what’s happening? You are being played by the pied piper. You are being led right off the cliff…

    This is an obvious strategy on the part of the Obama administration to get the GOP to turn kooky and nominate Ron Paul. You know why they don’t mention his name? It’s a ploy to make Ron Paul out to be a victim so people will feel sorry for him and vote for him in the primaries only to have the Obama administration absolutely slaughter him in the general election. Ron Paul’s ideology is NOT mainstream, otherwise, he would be running for the Libertarian Party nomination.

    It’s common sense folks. Do you have any? Ron Paul will not win and Obama knows it so he is trying to get the GOP to move to the lunatic fringe – the extreme right. Have some common freakin’ sense in the analysis of this, please! It’s not rocket science. Of course Obama WANTS Ron Paul to win the nomination because he will eat him alive in the debates and the election.

    The last election Obama went up against another old grey-haired feeble man. Not this time Rick Perry is strong, assertive, confident and he will defeat Obama. Ron Paul will not. Common freakin’ sense people. You want four more years of Obama? Then go ahead and nominate Ron Paul. Obama will win and I will blame you for our country’s demise.

    Stop looking at just the surface and think for yourselves. Why is Alex Jones saying all of this stuff? Perhaps because he is the king of shock jocks these days and it pays to be a weirdo… Duh!

    • what the f#$% do you mean by YOU .by you saying that makes belive that your not an american all you do is bash ALEX JONES . then why are you in his ball’s by coming to this site 24/7. calling him a fear mongerer .perverd perry is strong your right .he will do you and ur ugly wife under 10 min. get lost ferret dropping

    • here you are again. if all this is b/s to you why do you come to the site? please go to your bought and paid for puppet’s site and support him, I DON’T CARE. this snake in the grass you call a leader slick rick perry has proven he doesn’t even know what side to be on. at least Rep. Paul has stayed the course as he will continue to do. so do all of us a favor and take your trolling ASS to the place where you can get the lost to follow, you can’t stop this, so to you, you moran I say: NEXT ADDRESS FOR REP. PAUL WILL BE………. 1600 Pennsylviana Ave., Washington, D.C.. but don’t worry you can keep slick rick with you in Texas, you freck’n troll

    • I suggest EVERYONE that is a patriot on this website IGNORE “illferris”, as he, no doubt works for CASS SUNSTEIN, aka Mr. Government, Mr. supporter of the Federal Reserve, etc.

      This is PROOF POSITIVE that the Media Establishment are extremely bothered by the true patriots. Why? Because TRUTH is on our side, that’s why. Furthermore, when this country fails falls intot he pits of despair, when the elitist Federal Reserve families decide to pull the plug, so that they can institute a new world currency, then, this guy will be wallowing in self-pity, for his concience will bother HIM.

      RON PAUL is the ONLY THREAT to the Republican/Democrat dynasty. THAT is why the elitist-owned Media attacks him ONLY him. If he were so inconsequential as illferris believes, then, illferris wouldn’t even be wasting his time posting.

      ILLFERRIS is an operative. IGNORE HIM!

    • Getting lazy? Copying pasting? I got NEWS for YOU, buster.

      RON PAUL is now “the NEW MAINSTREAM”, like it or lump it. He is WINNING many of the old RINOS, like it or lump it. He wins fair square, like or lump it. There is a mushrooming of votes coming our way, like it or lump it….

      And, the NEOCONS cannot win now without the votes of all old AND new Ron Paul supporters. Once people have woken up, they DON’T change their minds!

      I suggest you have no integrity, if the “establishment” pays you to do this! NONE, and you will be judged by God on judgment day for trying to influence the sheep. I wouldn’t want to be you, then, so you had better think twice about what you are doing. Some day things will change. Better to find your heart concience now, while you can.

  18. “Wolf Blitzer!?”

    – What is this!? A Disney Cartoon?

    The Big bad Wolf attacking the minds of the Little Red Ridinghoods?

    Wolf – should he be working for Fox?
    _____________________________________________________________

    Come on the man is a CIA operative:
    “In May 1990, Blitzer moved to CNN and worked as the cable network’s military affairs reporter. Blitzer spent a month in Moscow in 1991, and was one of the first Western reporters to visit KGB headquarters. His team’s coverage of the first Gulf War in Kuwait won a CableACE Award and made him a household name.” WIKIPEDIA

    “…was one of the first western reporters to visit KGB headquarters…”

    “Wolf Blitzer” – “Scorpion Hurricane” or whatever his handle is – is a CIA-plant just like ObombYa.

    What you have here are two CIA-agents both licking the boots of the propaganda-agenda:

    “Now that Obama killed Geronimo – will the the apaches retaliate?”

  19. He will run on stuff like this: more fear mongering. Then if there is an attack, he will “rush in to save the day.” Then the idiots who voted him in will think once again the word:Messiah. Why? Because they want to believe in his lies and BS.

    He’ll beat us over the head with “I killed Osama Bin Ladin. Look at everything have done for you.” and if the people are smart, they will see through all that and tell him, “No, we don’t want you anymore.”

    • Communists and Fascists/Totalitarians have always manipulated, and controlled by fear mongering /threats

  20. The article from Norhouse, linked to within this article, is just pure propaganda and full of ”facts ” based on absolutely nothing. I cant see how the prime minister has 94 percent approval rating when everybody is just slamming the guy and the government in general. We norwegians are probably a bit naive, but sheesh, we’re not THAT stupid.

    This is a snip from the norhouse article:
    ”This is a country where it’s not at all unusual to hear its citizens say that they “pay their taxes with joy,” because they’re keen to spread the wealth…”

    Totally untrue. I’m laughing my socks off. I wonder who has written this absolute JUNK.

  21. I’ve been saying this for months now, I mean it’s only obvious that this is the only way Obama could win again. Trust me, it WILL happen. The establishment isn’t just going to give up and walk away with their heads down, they’ve worked too hard and too long to let anyone other than their puppets win!

    • So, they’ll find some guy who’s dying of cancer and they’ll make him an offer. They’ll say, “You know, you’re not much longer for this earth and we know you want to do what’s best for your country – and for your family. You’d like to help them out, right? I mean, you’ve left them no life insurance policy to collect (or alternatively they’ll say they can make sure that his policy will actually be paid to his family) and we need your help. We need you to do something really, really bad – for the greater good”, etc. It’ll be like finding the one guy who planted the bomb on the Chinook so that the members of the Pak team (who supposedly killed OBL…) couldn’t later reveal that they did not take out OBL…

      Yes, you’re right, AmericanGirl1776. They’ll MAKE it happen.

      • Think BIGGER…. like, say, MKUltra Subprojects and the like… I mean, why should the Gubmint have to TALK someone into something, when all they need is a trigger-word?

  22. Here we go folks, the drumbeat to disarm individuals begins.

    • Excellent. That’s when about a MILLION trained gun owners start shooting traitors. They won’t be able to claim a “lone wolf” scenario then, will they?

  23. Figured as much, the corpse of OBL, and Seal Team Six were not enough for this freak, now more must die for him to have just a snow balls chance in hell of winning, ENOUGH ALREADY, WAKE THE F–K UP AMERICA !

    • It suprised me that they finally “killed” the boogie man. I guess they figured that even stupid people would figure out that Obama bin Laden couldn’t live forever. They will give us Boogie man 2.0 soon.

  24. Man … you’re talkin’ hard up !!!

    To not be popular , or resort to deceitful tricks is hard up enough , but to have
    to organize mass mayhem to be somewhat accepted and legitimized is ” hard up
    on steroids ” !!!

    P.S. Don’t these people ever feel embarrassed about anything ?!?

  25. False Flag predictions anyone ????

    • I only had to read the headline to know what the whole article was going to say. Obunghole has to pull out all the stops now seeing as everyone hates his weasly black guts.

    • Yeah, false flag, watch out, and I have to fly this weekend too :

      • I would bet your safe to fly this weekend, other than getting your testicles lifted and your booty squeezed, they will wait until they can find a country to blame an attack on and then it will happen. Although Sept. 11th IS right around the corner.

      • The TSA may start cavity searchs this weekend.

        • I hope they change there gloves each time lol…yea its coming soon you are right even when pistole lied and said they would not…

  26. watching Obama speak is like watching an extremley bad “B” grade actor try out for an even worse “B” grade T.V ad…what a muppet!!!

  27. How fast can you say False Flag coming ????

    • Quick , the question is when, I’m thinking next summer when the establisment realizes there screwed and pulls out all the stops before the election.

  28. Excellent though truly disturbing article. The very building designated as the home of the executive branch of our once constitutional republic has itself been transformed into a wolf den. The wolves that have lived in this den over the last century have seen fit to leave their lair and prey upon liberty just as a wolf does its prey. One such wolf siezed the property (Gold) of every American-like a wolf-by force. Others have dressed up as sheep and attacked the rights of people and states. One president-who on his death bed admitted to doing much harm to the country he loves help usher in the federal reserve-like a wolf bringing his buddies to a big kill.

    These United States have been the target of lone wolf attacks for years. The lone wolf being the president who refuses his assent to power and does not respect the limits upon his power as specified by the constitution. The current wolf is rabid and LIKELY to make more unprovoked attacks in order to make his prey easier to run down. While we will not know for certain until the treasonous sophist in the WhiteHouse orders it, the likely lone wolf attack will be an American “right winger” use a gun and strike in an area that has been conveniently disarmed-such as CA, IL, NYC or Boston. While the loss of life will be tragic, mark my words there will be something FAR more tragic. congress ill do absolutely nothing to seek the truth and will do absolutely nothing to stop the president from hindering any real investigation and then support taking away more of OUR rights. Expect the attack, it is coming the president has already ordered it be put into motion…

  29. did he really say “your killing of Binladen” So there it is, Obama killed Binladen and now Al queda or “what’s left of Al qaeda” might carry out a further attack. So they are pushing that Bin laden is dead thanks to Obama and Obama has virtually beaten Al qaeda, well, until after the elections anyway, then the phoney war on terror can get back into full swing. In the meantime they will just have to rely on good old home grown, right wing, radicals, anti establishment……..anybody they choose……to commit the next false flag terror attack.

  30. If Obama did help lead America through one of the Elite’s designed crisis’, I would thank him for the “Oscar-winning-performance”, and show him to the other side of the stage.

  31. Someone besides Charlie Sheen or Gary Busey,someone like Ventura, Garrafalo, or someone with credability (help me out here) needs to go public to warn of the false flag that will more than likely happen to re-elect the schmucks in charge. A prediction might stave off the false flag.

    • Who needs JV the mexican or a burnt out crack ho??

  32. Wow…… If this doesn’t look like a set up for a false flag event………. Wow……

  33. I smell a gun grab.

    • I’ve been waiting for it. Preparing……… I can’t wait.

    • It is coming…..

  34. They need to worry about the lone wolf patriot coming in to reclaim our freedoms. If they are not they are stupid.

    • Thats the kind of terrorist their talking about, one that fights for the freedoms of the citizen but also one that brings light to their darkness, the terrorist they fear is the one that would remove them from their cushy lifestyles that control the populace.
      They will use the term Lone Wolf terrorist ( TERRORIST being the operative word as used by their MSM for the last 10 years to instill fear in joe public ) to get the dumb masses , the ones that eat MaccyD’s, drink Koolaid and still beLIEve the lies told by ‘officials channels’, to inform of patriots gearing up to defend even the dumb from government slavery.
      But the dumb will not understand or appreciate the freedoms, just the dollars they may get for shopping in neighbours with a few guns and dissident remarks.

  35. Is a “loan wolf” going to target Ron Paul perhaps? CIA sysop

    • “loan wolf”

      LOL

      No, the “Loan Wolves” are on Wall Street! And Obama likes them.

      The article said “lone wolf”.

      LOL

      • haha my bad, loan shark rather!

    • No need in the CIA to target Ron Paul. The lying news media are going to take care of him by showing their fruadalent poles and supporting Perry and others.

  36. A lone wolf attack? Did someone see the movie Collateral Damage one to many times? Between the prop plane crashing into an IRS building in Austin Texas, the Christmas Day Bomber and the Time Square bomber, it kind of makes me wonder what the next made up event will be for the Pentagon to ensure that their puppet gets another four years while America sheds jobs at a record rate.
