Re: Just Got A VERY Disturbing Text From My Friend...
Right after 9/11 happened, with in a week or two at the most, a commuter plane crashed into a NJ neighborhood. It was swept under the rug as just an "accident" at the time.

I remember it was very odd because it was a neighborhood that many police and firefighters lived. They had just had such a "tragic loss of life" that this event seems too connected to me. I have never been able to find anyone who has dug into this event like the 9/11 events were.

Not sure why this comes to mind now.. When I get these associations I trust they have a meaning.

Anyone have any idea about then, and how it connects to now?
 Quoting: MotherGoose

Don't know how it connects to now, but I remember that event well. I taped the Concert for New York and there was a cop who was telling Al Queida to come get him. He was just mouthing off- he even gave his street address. He said the name of the neighborhood-but I don't remember it. When that plane crashed into a house in the neighborhood he said he lived in I kept wondering if the events were connected. As far as I know, reporters never said the name of the street, or the owner of the house, which is really unusual. I thought it was to protect that policeman, who probably felt terrible about saying hey, come and get me, this is where I live-because somebody did.
I don't know if that cop is on the DVD of Concert for N.Y. I taped it from the t.v.
How do you think there would be a connection to now, MotherGoose?

Re: Just Got A VERY Disturbing Text From My Friend...
On 911, five dancing Israeli mossad agents were sent to document the event. They set up their cameras and filmed the first plane as it impacted the Tower. They were then seen dancing and laughing.

The point is, these five dancing Israeli mossad agents had foreknowledge of 911 the false flag. Did they let the neocons know. You bet they did. Did the neoCONS inform the US Publis.. FUCK NO.

The video from this was beamed directly into Bush's limo. That is how Bush manged to see the first plane strike.


These five dancing Israeli mossad agents were arrested, then permitted to return to Israel with out ever being charged as they claimed that they did not play a part in 911, they were only there to document it.


RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!

How can one forget that. I haven't....

"They" were in the know. I still remember the morning of Sept. 11th and I watched every live stream I could with intensity. I wondered myself how in the hell did Bush & Co know with detail...and the footage of him when that guy leaned down to tell him, he seemed so emotion-less....not even a "WTF" look came upon his face. RED effing FLAG!

anyone not giving this thread credibility need only reflect upon past FACTS of how those Israelies had enough foreknowledge to be able to fly to the U.S. and set up cameras to watch the event.

Re: Just Got A VERY Disturbing Text From My Friend...
July 4 2010 - Tammuz 22, 5770

The fast days of 17 Tammuz and 9 Av, and the time between them, commemorate the tragic process of the destruction of the two Holy Temples in Jerusalem.
The fast of the 17th of Tammuz, the day of the breaching of the walls of Jerusalem, marks the beginning of the Three Weeks". The fast of the 9th of Av, commemorates the day of the actual destruction by fire of the Holy Temple, and is the last day of the Three Weeks. The three weeks is a period of mourning over these destructions.

The "Three Weeks" between the 17th of Tammuz and the Tisha B'Av have historically been days of misfortune and calamity for the Jewish people. During this time, both the First and Second Temples were destroyed, amongst other terrible tragedies.

These days are referred to as the period "within the straits" (bein hametzarim), in accordance with the verse: "all her oppressors have overtaken her within the straits" (Lamentations 1:3).

On Shabbat during the Three Weeks, the Haftorahs are taken from chapters in Isaiah and Jeremiah dealing with the Temple's destruction and the exile of the Jewish people.

During this time, various aspects of mourning are observed by the entire nation. We minimize joy and celebration. And, since the attribute of Divine judgement (“din”) is acutely felt, we avoid potentially dangerous or risky endeavors.

ASPECTS OF MOURNING DURING THE THREE WEEKS

1. No weddings are held. (However, engagement ceremonies are permitted.)
2. We do not listen to music.
3. We avoid all public celebrations -- especially those which involve singing, dancing and musical accompaniment.
4. We avoid pleasure trips or other unusually entertaining activities.
5. No haircuts or shaving. (Fingernails may be clipped up until the week in which Tisha B'Av falls.)
6. We do not say the blessing She-hechianu on new food or clothes, except on Shabbat.

THE NINE DAYS

The period commencing with Rosh Chodesh Av is called the "Nine Days." During this time, a stricter level of mourning is observed, in accordance with the Talmudic dictum (Ta'anit 26): "When the month of Av begins, we reduce our joy."

(1) We avoid purchasing any items that bring great joy.

(2) We suspend home improvements, or the planting of trees and flowers.

(3) We avoid litigation with non-Jews, since fortune is inauspicious at this time.

(4) We abstain from the consumption of meat (including poultry) and wine. These foods are symbolic of the Temple service, and are generally expressions of celebration and joy.

* On Shabbat, meat and wine are permitted. This applies also to any other seuduat mitzvah -- for example, at a Brit Milah or at the completion of a tractate of Talmud.
* Wine from Havdallah should be given to a child to drink.

(5) We refrain from wearing newly laundered garments, or laundering any clothes.

* If the "freshness" has been taken out of a garment prior to the Nine Days, it may be worn.
* Fresh clothes may be worn for Shabbat.
* The clothing of small children, which gets soiled frequently, may be laundered during the Nine Days.
* Clothes may not be laundered even if done in preparation for after Tisha B'Av, or even if done by a non-Jew.

(6) We do not bathe for pleasure.

* It is permitted to bathe in order to remove dirt or perspiration, or for medical reasons. This may be done only in cool water.
* Furthermore, the body should be washed in parts, rather than all at one time.
* Bathing in warm water is permitted on Friday in honor of Shabbat.

He said his squad is split between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie pretending to be fishing and that they have very heavy air support stationed very closely for something that is allegedly going to happen in the next 5 days. They have been out on a fishing boat since he left last saturday.
He said as well as air support they are heavily armed with anti aircraft missles.

He also told me do NOT go to my camp which is northern PA/NY border area. He told me to go south but not to go to the DC metro area either. He suggested going to our other buddies place in WV.

I am officially freaked out now and will be leaving town directly after work tommorrow night. Ill post any updates I recieve before that.

Maybe they are getting ready for fall, when the geese start heading back? lol

I would think if, any thing, they might have heard about a possible strike in Toronto and want to make sure nothing flies south.... Or, it could be to shoot at Canadians trying to protect their air space from a missile being fired off New Found Land (as earlier posted)? (If this is so, hopefully they don't fire unless something enters u.S.A. air space.)

I believe we only have some of the info, still many questions.

Re: Just Got A VERY Disturbing Text From My Friend...
Okay, here's a little bit of context for you.

My friend is Jewish. He lives in New Jersey with his wife who is also Jewish. Her family is LOADED and when I say LOADED I mean they are ridiculously rich.

Her mother is very old but also very connected to old Jewish money.

In early 2007, my friend called me and asked if he could put my name down as a reference on his firearm permit as he was seeking to purchase a gun.

I asked him why he was buying a gun (my friend is the last person I would expect to own a gun) and this was his response - "With this downturn we are about to take, I feel like I am going to need a gun now for protection".

I said, "Downturn? What do you mean?"

He said, verbatim "The economy is about to take a nosedive".

I said, "How do you know this?" (remember this is early 2007)

He replied, "I've just been hearing things".

Bells and whistles were going off like crazy at this point, so I pressed my friend on the who, what, when and where regarding his "INFORMATION".

He told me that his wife's mother was connected to some extremely powerful people in Israel and that through the grapevine (i.e. pillowtalk) he had heard that the economy was going to go downhill in the not too distant future.

At the time, I didn't take this conversation seriously at all. But after the events of the last 24 months, I now can safely guess that he was probably telling me the truth, at least in part.


FAST FORWARD to today June 5, 2010.

This morning I received a text from my friend that said the following:

[wife's name] and I are moving out of Jersey.

I texted back: Why?

He said: Her mother (who lives on Long Island) called her and said to make plans to get away from the New York area immediately.

At this point I called my friend but he would not take my call. He usually always takes my calls but would not take it this morning as he knew that I wanted more information.

When I called our mutual friend (who is actually closer to my Jersey friend than I am) he said that the Jersey friend had informed him of the decision to move last night (June 4, 2010) and that they were planning on being out of the New York area by the end of June "at the latest".


I really don't know what this means, but when a well to do thirty-something couple that JUST had a baby in March, decides to pull up their entire lives and leave, for no other reason than because a relative told them to, it's weird.

What do you guys think? Has anyone else heard anything like this?

I don't live near New York city, so I'm not THAT worried, but I'm worried nontheless.

For what it's worth, the couple did not live in the area on 9/11/2001 so I can't say if the wife's family had any prior knowledge/warning to that event.

Never heard of him until now. [link to en.wikipedia.org]

"Answering the door to receive delivery of extra analgesic, he noticed that the delivery woman was wearing a pendant with a symbol that he called the "vesicle pisces". This name seems to have been based on his confusion of two related symbols, the ichthys (two intersecting arcs delineating a fish in profile) that early Christians used as a secret symbol, and the vesica piscis. After the delivery woman's departure, Dick began experiencing strange visions. Although they may have been initially attributable to the medication, after weeks of visions he considered this explanation implausible. "I experienced an invasion of my mind by a transcendentally rational mind, as if I had been insane all my life and suddenly I had become sane," Dick told Charles Platt.[22]"

At the time, I didn't take this conversation seriously at all. But after the events of the last 24 months, I now can safely guess that he was probably telling me the truth, at least in part.


FAST FORWARD to today June 5, 2010.

This morning I received a text from my friend that said the following:

[wife's name] and I are moving out of Jersey.

I texted back: Why?

He said: Her mother (who lives on Long Island) called her and said to make plans to get away from the New York area immediately.

At this point I called my friend but he would not take my call. He usually always takes my calls but would not take it this morning as he knew that I wanted more information.

When I called our mutual friend (who is actually closer to my Jersey friend than I am) he said that the Jersey friend had informed him of the decision to move last night (June 4, 2010) and that they were planning on being out of the New York area by the end of June "at the latest".


I really don't know what this means, but when a well to do thirty-something couple that JUST had a baby in March, decides to pull up their entire lives and leave, for no other reason than because a relative told them to, it's weird.

What do you guys think? Has anyone else heard anything like this?

I don't live near New York city, so I'm not THAT worried, but I'm worried nontheless.

For what it's worth, the couple did not live in the area on 9/11/2001 so I can't say if the wife's family had any prior knowledge/warning to that event.

I hate to tell you but I think the biggest thing I can think of if it were me is his rudeness......how rude is it to tell someone a tidbit of info to make them worry and then not explain it?

I was thinking that also. But then maybe the guy didn't want to spill the whole thing and put him and his family in jeopardy or he wasn't allowed to say much. Just enough to give a heads up. You know there are friends you just never know also. This guy may be one of them.

Re: Just Got A VERY Disturbing Text From My Friend...
I followed the "some of you are close" thread a while back. The OP also mentioned bugging out by the end of June. This is getting a little creepy. That OP was leaving a populated area in TX and going to be in the "country" by the end of June also.
