Subject: Pastor Jones: "Scared Straight" LOL

I think I heard that FBI agents visited Jones down in Florida. What I am wondering is if they might have laid out for him a reality that he hadn't envisioned: the reality of the terrorism threat here and what that might mean for him, his family and his congregation (such as it is).

He's has more than his allotment of minutes of fame. Something had to have made him change his mind. I can think of no further inducement than either gut wrenching fear OR "an offer he can't refuse" which was almost made by Donald Trump (who wussed out pricewise...)

I'm sure Jones was "talked to"...but not sure who did the talking. In short, this shitbag got more than he bargained for. Yes, he got lots of publicity for his two-bit "church" and became a national personality...his ego runneth over. The problem was he was getting a little too much attention. It was one thing to spark Islamophobia...fear and hatred, but the coverage was starting to put him and his ilk in a bad light...they were looking for a way out. My bets it was some other "preacher" who got to him to try to cool his jets. Someone hooked him up with the local Imam...I'm sure Jones didn't pick up the phone and try to call.

I suspect this non-story will be back as Jones won't get his meeting and will try to get his 15 minute back...let's see if the corporate media is accomodating. My bets are they will...

Just speculation on my part here on this Friday morning...
