Something's brewing.
I just had the most compelling feeling that "something" was brewing. What? I don't know. Some dastardly machination of power-clutching by the bushites, probably. I'm not particularly psychic, so I wouldn't put a lot of stock in it, but I'm telling you it was a powerful feeling. A feeling I've not felt since...

Actually I've never felt it before. I was just quoting Kenobi. Anyway, that's all. Just keeping you all posted on every little thing that passes through my mind.

1. Me too
Just to keep you posted on the random thoughts passing through my mind. :hi: Something about Bush's behavior is very odd - but I can't put my finger on it.

32. He must know
that him and Cheney are going to be indicted soon and they are going down.

That is they only thing in the world that would make him look so afraid. He knows something is coming out and that it will be his own supporters who are going to want his head on a silver platter soon.

38. Bush is most likely alternating between rage and depression.
Typical of narcissists when their adoring fans
begin to get tired of all the craziness.

And I wonder why he is so obsessive about his bedtime?
Medication and or booze perhaps....

Daniels!

Those were fake tears.

He has no compassion and no heart.

15. Maybe
Edited on Thu Jan-11-07 04:33 PM by Marie26
I got the impression that he has completely disconnected from reality - like he can't face whatever he's about to do. The last time he had that look was on 9/11 - I think he completely disassociates & freezes at moments of high stress, when reality becomes too much for him. And he's doing that right now. Why would he be so stressed? A "surge" alone wouldn't explain that kind of extreme reaction. There's something else going on, though I don't know what. He's totally unraveling.

22. Well... Let ME Just Say EVERYTHING About The Idiot's Behavior
is ODD to me! Now, please don't interpret this as "dissing" you in any way, I just couldn't resist adding my two cents when it comes to this CORRUPT REGIME!

Always, Always BEWARE! That's been my motto for a VERY long time. And I myself DO believe in Psychic Powers having visited my share of psychics and KNOW that TWO of them could never have known some of the stuff they told me! Stuff that was never ever told to them, nor even hinted at by me.

THEY told me about specific things in detail that already had happened of which they could not have known! It was an enlightening experience to say the least. Example of one... right before I went to see her that day I found a pipe that was leaking water into a bathroom. It wasn't a major leak so I decided to keep my appointment and address the problem AFTER I saw her. I can't say I was worried about it either, but I NEVER said a word to her about it.

But, right after I began my session with her, she TOLD me that she felt I needed to contact a plumber because of a leak in my house! Not an earth-shaking prediction, but a weird one because not one person other than myself knew about this. And this was my first encounter with her! So people CAN be psychic, and you BOTH could be "right on" but I don't trust the Idiot in any way, thus my comment in the first place!

Backed against a wall, this man will do ANYTHING to cover his butt and WE THE PEOPLE always pay!

3. The day North Korea tested it's missile, I had a dream that it did...
though of course, in the dream it worked out a little different than in reality, but it made me wonder if there is some sort of phenomena that science has yet to discover.

45. I had a couple of dreams
In the last few days.

I had a dream that a nuclear missle streaked across the night sky and hit a nearby city (I guess it would have been Cleveland).

Then I had a dream that Stephen Colbert died. Sad. I think it's all a sign of my stress.

culminate in that.

I don't think the International Community will buy an "Iranian bolt from the blue." But if we're in a shooting war and the NeoCons want a justification to go nuclear...

20. There was a raid on an Iranian consulate last night.
I just read the article on DU. Could "they" be trying to provoke the Iranians into attacking our ships in the Gulf, trying to provoke a war with Iran as the ultimate distraction?

26. The NeoCons haven't tried everything yet...
So far they:

Added Iran to the Axis of Evil…
Sent surreptitious scouting parties in…
Reneged on promises to withdraw support of the MeK guerillas…
Censored proponents of real negotiations…
Leaked stories of US Plans to nuke the facilities…
Leaked stories of Israeli Plans to nuke the facilities…
Sent multiple aircraft carrier groups to the region…
And today, they raided the Iranian consulate in Iraq’s Kurdish region.

So far, they haven't...

Phoned in a prank delivery of a dozen pork sausage pizzas to the US Iranian Embassy
Lit a paperbag full of doggie poo on the steps of the Iranian UN offices
Glued Iranian postal-paid return cards to bricks and mailed them

people might do?? TRUST is not a word that should ever be connected with them! THEY are evil, evil, evil, the likes of which I've never seen! And I lived through Viet Nam and was completely turned off by Johnson! Had I been able to vote, I would NOT HAVE!

But I never felt this way about any politicians! Oh, and my daughter just told me that Tony Snow is going to APPEAR on Wolfie's Show!

53. I feel a disturbance in my gut.
Usually that only happens when something big is about to go down.

Seriously, where are all the threads saying "you guys were right,
we were wrong" about Bush's plans to attack Iran? Do some folks
need the MSM to validate their thinking on the subject (I know
this is true, I'm related to them) or are they still in denial
about Bush's war plans?

And when did the Cassandras stop crying wolf? That only muddies
the waters, to the benefit Bush. Where did Seymour Hersch dig up
his date-certain claims from last year and the year before that?

Methinks they were planted: notice that Seymour's "sources"
failed to say anything about Bush's recent act of war against Iran.

35. This is what I think is brewing. Nuke attack on Iran from ANY TERRORIST ATTACK ON THE US
The Pentagon, acting under instructions from Vice President Dick Cheney's office, has tasked the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) with drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States. The plan includes a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons. Within Iran there are more than 450 major strategic targets, including numerous suspected nuclear-weapons-program development sites. Many of the targets are hardened or are deep underground and could not be taken out by conventional weapons, hence the nuclear option. As in the case of Iraq, the response is not conditional on Iran actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United States. Several senior Air Force officers involved in the planning are reportedly appalled at the implications of what they are doing--that Iran is being set up for an unprovoked nuclear attack--but no one is prepared to damage his career by posing any objections

A U.S. sub ran into the back end of a Japanese tanker barge. Don't our subs have avoidance technology? Why weren't they paying attention to it? A barge must move pretty slowly I think they would have had plenty of time to avoid it. They must be distracted by something.

48. they REALLY REALLY want to attack iran BUT...
...don't have a 'justification'. not a convincing one.

not too many options left to them other than ones that involve dead americans.

1. a false flag op against a us ship in the region (aka 'gulf of tonkin II', workable but it will be very clearly bullshit to any rational observer in that iran has not the slightest reason to attack the us first)

2. a terror attack on us soil (good, in that it produces immediate justification, bad in that it destroys the republican myths of 'we've kept ya safe since 911 / we fight them there so we don't have to fight them here')

3. 'finding' proof of some evil 'iranian plot' (not likely to be very convincing)

4. letting israel attack iran first (probably the LEAST likely, imo)

5. ?

I feel it,too.Maybe because of the way the headlines and comments are reading,it's all so familiar.Last summer,when all the Iran threads started,I reread a bunch of threads in the archives pre shock and awe(Feb 2003).I felt relieved that things seemed different regarding Iran.These days,not so much.It seems something wicked this way comes.
