British Army closes bases over Christmas! Soldiers told to 'work from home'! 2012 doom? | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 28559558 12/02/2012 07:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ![]() I truly don't know why this is not getting more attention. First, the British Army has ordered their bases evacuated for 25 days from December 14 until January 7. Then, residents who live in the area of Oahu where Obama and his family vacation have been told that the usual restrictions on their movements during an Obama stay will be in place for 21 days, from December 17 through January 6. Then, Yahoo has announced that their public chat rooms will be closed beginning December 14. Look, I don't know what -- if anything -- is going to be happending the second half of this month, but this just strikes me as highly suspicious. (But then look how much evidence was pointing to something big happening at the London Olympics!) |

There seem to be a lot of people now who are really trying to talk down the possibility of anything happening - completely ignoring the masses of evidence. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23992770 I'm not saying that the world will 'end'. I don't believe anything points to that. But can anyone who has seriously studied history not have at least a nagging suspicion that something is important about the end of 2012? ![]() |
| MatrixLNIN11 User ID: 20347511 12/03/2012 03:23 AM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If those soldiers are being asked to work from home does this mean that they are taking there battle gear home with them over the holiday..? Quoting: The Beast 1654766 No, No such a thing is possible or will be allowed. That simply is out of the question and that is why there is nothing to read in to this. Point is Britain is in a lot of financial trouble. They are no longer able to rob smaller nations to feed their own. Couple with fact that Israel and Zio... are fast losing their position in the world and no longer able to gang up with Britain. Fact is Britain has to start thinking about feeding itself out of its own money for a change and they have just come to the horrible realiseation that they have no industry left to lean on. There is no choice left but to start cutting back on everything they can. My bet is in 2013 britain will totally pullout of Afghanistan. Britain is alomst bankrupt ha, they have enough money to bomb libya, enough for afganistan war, they have money to support terrorism in siria. But they have no money to pay electricity bills for military bases in england. Whose stupid here Exactly. Sending troops home for a few weeks IS NOT GOING TO SAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO EVEN REGISTER!!!! They will still have to light and heat the bases for security and maintenance (its winter here - if they just turn the heating off you will get frozen pipes bursting etc). As for other services like cleaning, maintenance and infrastructure they are contracted out, so its not going to save them any money!!! For christ's sake people, the army doesn't pay for services by the hour from 'Bob's Plumbing and Heating Services' from down the freakin' road. And it is not going to be on metered electricity either. Even my nan has a fixed tariff for gas and electricity - so I'd say the bloody army do. ![]() |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 22022484 12/03/2012 07:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not sure about this link as it is a paid-for site (The Sunday Times) - [link to www.thesundaytimes.co.uk] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20393570 But the intro (sticking to forum fair-use percentage rules) says "THE British Army has been ordered to take an extended 25-day Christmas holiday or “work from home” in an attempt to cut its gas and electricity bills. In a move that former military commanders say is unprecedented, a leaked memo from a general says all military and civilian personnel in land forces — amounting to 110,000 men and women — are to take “block leave” for 25 days from December 14 until January 7. The decision means all army barracks, Territorial Army buildings and other military sites in Britain will close for almost four weeks to provide “an opportunity for utility savings”." This apples not just to the UK but Germany, Nepal and Brunei, Canada, Belize and Kenya. So basically all British troops (at least in the UK) will be stationed at their homes around the country for December 2012. Is this really a cost cutting measure? Or a way to get well-trained troops positioned around the UK without causing panic in preparation for something? |

So if something was to go down Uk army would opt out as an excuse for war, so do they know something is soon to go down and they know they have to take a holiday just to get away from it and so make this excuse...by excuse I mean well no one is at work they are all on holidays for a few weeks so we just cant help right now.. maybe wait please cos it is not the right time for war to many ppl are in the know, this way it will give us time an other few months OK.. then yeah all fresh. I think maybe isreal does want war and Uk are not ready for it so sent the army home so isreal can go do it alone or wait till the time is right..little Christmas is the 6th. |

Yahoo pulling it's public chat rooms on the 14th isn't really in the same category, I think we need a third political/military example coinciding with those dates to get real doomed up. That said, it does seem odd, if there's a major terrorist attack or massive infrastructure failure, it would mean there would be no military option to fall back on, and the military is ALWAYS the final reserve option of any major civilian disaster planning. Alternateively, as someone else said, dispersing the troops would mean that the powers that be could initiate a new takeover with no military opposition, then soldiers would be told to report into local political commanders rather than their usual military ones, would take the military in its entirety out of the loop pretty sharpish. |

I dunno. The message that I gleamed from Bendinglight's thread appeared to me to suggest that 21/12, as a matter of Physics, appears to offer the best potential for another Carrington Event. Plus, CERN have some "Shitty Death"-type 'Experiment' lined up for that date just in case Nature proves unreliable as a Doom Agent.. |
