The Bush Regime seems to be unravelling: so why am I terrified?
Tennant resigns and the "Plame Affair" seems to be going beyond growing legs to sprouting wings...

The rampant stories of military attrocities in Irag and Afghanistan mount daily...

Kerry gets more and more support...

ENRON Tapes make a mockery of the free market...

"Farhenheit 911" is coming out in a matter of days...

and so on.

So why am I so utterly terrified? Because I remember little things, like the "Brooks Brothers Riot" and "Now the 'grown-ups' are in charge."

We could WIN this election, and all it will take is ONE "dirty bomb" for them to declare Martial Law, and THAT'S ALL Folks.

The better things look, the more frightened I become, and I don't think it's paranoia anymore.

1. Same here...
I've been looking at too much conspiracy theory stuff on the internet. Real life news, or at least stuff covered by mainstream news sources, have been unnerving enough.

3. Well, it IS a little freaky
When the government is out of control, no one is in charge, they are all fighting amongst themselves, and who knows what enemies from abroad may be plotting.

Incompetent goons.

5. Don't worry, be semi happy
It was inevitable. Sooner or later Bushco's house of cards was going to fall. This is just the beggining. Tenet will soon be telling the truth about the pResident and the Kerry electoral landslide into the White House will begin.

6. Don't worry, we have the army
The army (not navy or air force) is the ultimate guarantor of the Constitution--sad but true. The army has no special fondness for Bush and their relative institutional strength would increase under Kerry anyway.

I wouldn't expect certain orders to be followed.

7. Here, just to add to your paranoia ;)
Is there a link between the announcement that Padilla was allegedly going to use natural gas to blow up an apartment building, and the stealing of two propane trucks...ON THE SAME DAY?

8. Could you at least explain what you perceive this to mean?
A conspiracy theory is one thing, but conspiracy non-theories are too confusing.

21. Simple
the FBI comes out and makes you afraid of propane trucks being stolen, and the DOJ comes out and says that Padilla was going to use natural gas (of which propane is a form) as a terrorist weapon. This occurred on the same day. Don't know about you, but this makes me say hmmmmm.

Subject: What's 7-7-04 to you????

7-7-04....(July 7, 2004)........what's that date/day to you???? Birthday? Anniversary?

Divorce date? Some other important thing?

I'm in watch of 7-7-04 because in a dream/vision the numbers 7 7 M M was shown to me on a huge stone tablet with 4 dials upon and under the numbers and letters....

And as well in the dream/vision there was much fighting/war going on....many being killed, kidnapped, totured, chased, and so on.... Which seemed to involve the U.S. ,Middleeastern country,
and a few other countries, battling/clashing with each other.....

And seems France was involved as well, to was trying to make it seem as if it was not involved in a bad way......but France was as well involved in a underground kind a way......

But things were really intense...and getting worse... Many victims were beatend, put in cages, or in some kind of netting, with them
being hug up hanging in the net like thing....

There were these soldiers kicking down the doors of homes as families ate with their love ones.........the soldiers taking many away and killing many others........

Some of the families trying to hide thier children in secret like rooms....but they were found anyway.......

Everything was completely out of control.....

I feel that the stone tablet in the dream/vision, which also had writing upon it, as in a message, were telling of that which to come....and the 4 dials were turned in position....first two to the
right and the second two to the left....as in a time of intense clashes in fighting/war....

And as I see it...the 7 7 to me seem to stand out as a date such as 7-7(July 7th)....now the M M....I'm still wondering of a bit....but an Idea do come to mind...... But I do see July 7 04 as
a day of very, very, intense fighting in war...with such things as some kind of terrorist attack, mostly in the middleeast area/s or even in the area/s of Africa......with the U.S. military somehow in the mist of it all..... I just feel something bad happening on that date........

Maybe just a deep feeling... maybe..................Maybe Not.........

What do that date hold for you or yours???(July 7, 2004)?

15. MM is obviously Michael Moore . . .
Edited on Thu Jun-03-04 10:31 AM by ET Awful
Obviously this "psychic" vision is referring to the rebellion that will take place if his new movie is allowed to be seen by the public. :) :) :)

12.  I know I should be thrilled but I keep wondering
"what will they do now?"


it's lurking at the back of my mind..and has been for almost 4 years now. ...but I keep waiting for that other shoe to drop.

I'm not exactly sure what I'm expecting...but expecting something I am.

13. And how about this?
I have just met an ex-Air Force Missile Silo officer. This guy is in his 30's, and he is RABID in his support of Bush. Tells me the whole officer corps (ESPECIALLY the Missile Officers) are behind Bush 100%, AND he's a Born Again Christian Fundamentalist.

All Bush needs is two or three silos manned by these clowns and it won't matter if he has our Army, Navy, and the Queen's Marines: a couple of MIRV's trump EVERYTHING.

17. Rogue Bush Backers prepare Super 9/11 False Flag Terror Attacks

Rogue Bush Backers prepare Super 9/11 False Flag Terror Attacks

INN Preview Exclusive -June 2

By Webster Griffin Tarpley


Toronto, May 30 – Intelligence patterns monitored over the US Memorial Day weekend now point conclusively to an imminent new round of ABC (atomic-bacteriological-chemical) terror attacks in the United States, Great Britain, Canada, and possibly other nations. These attacks could include nuclear detonations, radiological dirty bombs, poison gas and other chemical weapons, or biological agents, to be unleashed in such urban settings as New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington DC, Vancouver BC, or London.

The goal of these operations would be to produce a worldwide shock several orders of magnitude greater than the original 9-11, with a view to stopping the collapse of the Bush administration, the Wall Street-centered financial structures, and the US-UK strategic position generally. The attacks would be attributed by US/UK intelligence to controlled patsy terrorist groups who would be
linked by the media to countries like Iran, Syria, Cuba, or North
Korea.

The organizers of the attacks would in reality be substantially
the same secret command cell in the United States which set up the 9-11 events and its associated networks, which have been able to continue in operation because of the abject failure of all 9-11 investigations to date to identify them.

These forces are now in a desperate flight forward to escape from their current increasingly grim position. Their goal is now to establish a neocon fascist dictatorship in the United States, complete with martial law, special tribunals, press and media censorship, and the full pervasive apparatus of the modern police state.

18. Tyler Durden doesn't get terrified.
How much can you know about yourself if you've never been in a fight?

19. They have demonstrated incompetence from the beginning
Why start to believe they have enough brains between them to pull off some doomsday scenario now? They are quickly running out of political and military options. They are having a harder time finding things to scare us with. I'm cautiously optimistic.

20. And EVERY negative foreboding I have felt since I knew that Bush
was running for President against Gore has come about - and more so.

I am really bummed about all that is going on - even with my joy in Michael Moore's film's impending release!

23. "The sky falling" is wonderful... utter chaos is fine!
Why worry about the unhinging of rottenness? Our strategic opportunities increase with the increase in instability. Don't worry--instead prepare for struggle.

...through disease, hunger, or violence.

Maybe that's just me...

25. I think you don't need to worry about that.
I don't think we're going to see that sort of situation. The ruling forces in this country would quickly sacrifice Bush if they thought it were necessary in order to maintain social stability. I understand your concerns though. So take some preparations then.

26. Oh, I am.
And we don't need anything more than the 20th Century's Great Depression to key us in to the POSSIBLE repercussions of a REAL Bush "coup" and the ensuing chaos.

We are too dependent on our infrastructure: without the constant flow of goods, services, and power, the cities will starve. How long do you think they'll wait before the revolt?
