Obama assassination bid fears - aircraft carriers on standby off Irish coast during G8 summit


@Press Eye Ltd Northern Ireland - 17th June 2013 - Mandatory Credit - Brian Little/ Presseye --- Culture Minister Carl N Chuiln and Minister for Education, John O'Dowd MLA waiting for US President Barack Obama during his visit to the Waterfront Hall, Belfast ahead of the G8 Summit in County Fermanagh.

It is understood that a contingency plan is in place for the unlikely event that an attempt would be made on the President’s life.

The Secret Service also have diplomatic immunity which will allow them to shoot to kill a would-be assassin without fear of prosecution.

As part of the “evacuation route” plan, they would be able to spirit the President by chopper to one of the carriers where a jet is on standby to take him back to the United States.

A source said: “It sounds like James Bond stuff but the Americans treat the personal protection of their President with the utmost seriousness.

“They have plans in place for all possible incidents, despite how unlikely they might seem or how much security is already in place.....

The LAST thing we would ever want is for Obama to become a martyr.

When Bush went to Normandy to meet with our allies and commemorate the invasion and our dead who are buried there, he mingled with the crowds, and waited in line to use a porta-potty. Sure, he had Secret Service protection, but nothing like the vast numbers who accompany our Dear Leader everywhere.

When Zero went to Normandy after complaints that he had ignored it, he demanded that the entire area should be closed to the public while he was in the neighborhood.

And this year, he didn’t bother to mention the anniversary.

No one wants to make a martyr of him,

Correct.

It was bad enough after JFK -- streets, building, bridges, coins, etc.

The Dems would give a special sainthood to him.

concerned about having a good selection and variety of food tasters

Food tasters are almost useless against poisons like the Deathcap Mushroom (Amanita phalloides): The poisons in one cap are enough to kill a healthy adult. Symptoms are slow to show themselves and often do not appear until 10-16 hours or even longer after eating.

The timing given is approximate, for much depends on the general health of the individual and how much they’ve eaten. For example, if you’ve eaten a large meal of Deathcaps the symptoms could start as early as 6 hours after the meal.

The first symptoms are stomach pains, vomiting and diarrhoea. These may continue for a day or two, after which there is typically an easing of symptoms and apparent recovery. The "recovery" period may last for 2 or 3 days. Then the terminal phase of 3-5 days starts with the re-occurrence of stomach pains, vomiting and diarrhoea - accompanied by jaundice. Without effective, early medical intervention, coma and death occur between one and two weeks after eating the mushroom. Death is caused by liver failure, often accompanied by kidney failure.

I don’t even want that. We would see nothing but Obama tributes for the next 20 years. *gag*

IINM, when BJ Klintoon made speeches at US Military events, he had them all disarmed; either firearms collected and stored by SS, or mags and ammo removed and collected, until after he left. Wish I could find the article which revealed it.

I knew a guy who served in the South Pacific in WW II who said they were all disarmed before MacArthur was brought out to speak to them.

I’m certain that there will be irony in any attempt against BHO2 — like a leopard that no one noticed, dropping from a tree while visiting Africa.

We must protect our President at all times no matter how much we dislike him. It's the office that counts.

BUT..... I would not put it past Zero or his minions of orcs to fake an attempt, just to get him good press and get his poll numbers up. Yea, I'm that cynical.....

In my twenties I guarded President Reagan and Vice President Bush when they travelled to Des Moines while working as a civilian policeman at the Air National Guard base. There was nothing even resembling this amount of security. Mr. Bush was there almost once a week in 1987 (he was running for president) and I was within arms length of him many times. We dispatched the cars to the Secret Service, as well. We carried real M-16s (not an AR-15s) and S&W .38 revolvers.

And he took wifie and kids to the summit, too so this is costing us a lot more than we think.
