Anybody else have a gnawing feeling that something very bad is about

to happen in Iraq? God, I wish our troops would just come home.
I'm not usually wrong with these feelings. This time I hope that I am. Anybody hearing from family members in Iraq?

therefore, no concept.

Shit happens. Same with intuitive guesses.

It could be anywhere, except maybe Warren County, OH.

Seriously though, I also have been feeling uneasy.

:hi:

Had a vision in Jan 01 that there would be a cataclysmic event due to Dumbya's incompetence and the hatred of his family by the Middle East. At first I thought 9/11 was what I saw, but that was only catastrophic. The vision appeared to be what you might see after a nuclear explosion. I thought we were safe as it never occurred to me that a simpleton could be re-elected - now I am just waiting 'till the feeling builds - it's not yet imminent.

something ugly is going on in Iraq 24/7 but I know what you mean. Something in the air makes it feel like it is going to get worse.

What made me react to your post is that this past week has been very strange. One night the electricity went off in only the part of the house where my bedroom is, the next day the back window of our van was busted and my husband had to take the day off of work to bring me to work and get it fixed. I know it doesn't sound too unusual, especialy now that I see it in print, but there was something unusual about it. What I felt was that something was here protecting me or someone.

Well, I do sound like a nut, but .. it was too real to dismiss it. I suspect someone here will be able to reground me in reality. :D

Saturday..I had some tattoo work done and it was tiring so I was taking a nap..

In my real life neighborhood...
My neighbor next door on my side of the road has a home based electrical repair type company.I live acrossthe street from a guy who works for balto gas and electric...

Funny the electrical stuff..in my dream a lamp blew out and our electricity was flickering.I saw little static charges washed the walls with blue lightning sheets..I got my ass out of there.
In my neighbors houses their lights were acting all weird too.We all came outside to be safer but it was at night,it was dark ,bitter cold and raining.
Lightning was striking the ground all around the yard,but we couldn't go inside because of the electricity was sparking in the houses off of the lamps and all.Our cars were not there.

I saw by the driveway that an Osage orange tree had sprouted and was full grown, so I walked under it.(in real life there is no tree there) I was shivering badly and the rain was icy.As I looked up at the branches the tree itself said for me to take some of the fruits it had(green round fragrant inedible softball sized fruits)inside for protection.I picked 3 of them and took them into the house the minute I got in the door the electrical chaos stopped.


So I looked up osage orange myths This is what I found

I do not know what to make of this. Weird you had electical issues too.I have alot of strange electical phenomena happen around me in real life.

please help send dr peggy whitson to her iss home. e-mail nasa asking please please send dr peggy whitson to her iss home.

thanks

but it is like the frog put in water and the temperature slowly rises. He doesn't jump out. If the water is already boiling, he notices.

Or are you thinking of something worse?

At Least 64 Dead as Rebels Strike in 3 Iraqi Cities
By JOHN F. BURNS

Published: December 20, 2004

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Dec. 19 - Only days into Iraq's six-week election campaign, car bombers struck crowds in Najaf and Karbala on Sunday, killing at least 61 people and wounding about 120 in those two holy Shiite cities. In the heart of Baghdad, about 30 insurgents hurling grenades and firing machine guns pulled three election officials from their car in the midst of morning traffic and killed them with shots to the head.

Taken together, the attacks represented the second-worst daily civilian death toll from insurgent mayhem in Iraq since the American military occupation transferred formal sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government nearly six months ago.

The worst attack was on July 28, when as many as 70 people were killed by a suicide bomber near a police recruiting center in the city of Baquba, north of Baghdad.

The attacks raised the specter of exactly the kind of violence that American and Iraqi officials have been hoping to minimize ahead of assembly elections on Jan. 30 that are a watershed in the American-inspired blueprint for democracy in Iraq.

Iraq/yellow rogue corner protest - we were shot @ w/ an air gun shooting plastic pellets. One pierced a sign a friend was holding, one man ended up w/ a blood blister and a hole in his tee shirt, another woman was hit in the side. Thankfully none hit anyone in the face. We found several of the pellets. The cop responding 2 the call said he trained w/ something similar @ the academy.

Earlier in the day both bathrooms had flooded & I had 2 call roto-rooter. Friday sucked!! in so cal.

I haven't really told anyone this but I felt something on September 8, 2001. I knew something bad was going to happen. I wrote it in my diary. It's weird looking at that entry.

I thought something bad happened in France on the night of the Madrid bombing when I was taking the bus home. As soon as I got home, I turned on the radio and heard the news on the BBC.

It's a scary feeling, like there's a disturbance in the Force or something.

..out of St. Louis. I remember feeling VERY emotional that night, crying for no reason. As a matter of fact, I had a major argument with one of the airline people because he said I had "too many bags" (which I didn't he was just an asshole). In any event, I cried almost the entire way home. I'm not a real "crier" so this was very strange. The people on the plane were looking at me funny. Then, wake up the next day to a strange email .... "Planes hit World Trade Center towers"...

So yes, I do feel that there is a disturbance in the "force" as it were. I feel it too now. sigh.

of course in hindsight one can take innocuous things and tie them together, but I really did feel something "evil" (not to be confused with the "evildoers of *) was making it's presence known. And it really freaked me out when I saw the "face in the smoke" of the pics from 9/11

I've had similar feelings and convinced myself something was about to happen and it didn't, so I don't know that I'm psychically tuned in or not.

But these posts got me to thinking.

What about that "German Guy" thing predicting a nuke in Houston?

there's a thread on DU about it, seems pretty out there, but there are a lot of people who seem to have been stirred up by it all over the internet(s)

Something bad is coming, very bad...

and its not "psychic" but rather on an energetic level. The problem is that many of us have forgotten how to tune in to this ability to "read" the energy. The Achuar, Shuar, Huaranhani and other tribes believe that the waking state is actually the dream state and the dream world is actually "reality"...They collectively as tribes share their dreams, especially in order to make very important decisions relating to their tribe's affairs.

I guess you could say that in a way, we here on the DU as a tribe are sharing our collective dreams, we are tuning in to the energy and we are "feeling" the negative energy.

No Iraqi or reporter is blogging, all for different reasons. But no word.

I hear our planes are still dropping bombs on Fallujah. Is anything there still standing left to bomb?

bad feeling....but then the dogs are barking and it's no doubt the goons roaming our neighborhood of late. I'm donning thermals about to sit guard with the 12 gauge - lots of robberies around here lately.

Anyhoo, it's only a matter of time before someone gets even with someone in a big way. Who the players are and where it happens are anyone's wager. But as I awoke a few moments ago, i had a sudden vision of something awful in Iraq in real time....til I heard the dogs bark, that is. Weird....

Are there many dogs in Iraq? Wonder if any blogger will let us know if they all start barking at the same time? An omen?

You can't be too careful. Take ALL precautions that you can to protect your house and family.

I always have a gnawing feeling that something very bad is about to happen, but not necessarily in Iraq. And now that you mention it, my cat who usually only talks to me when he wants to be fed or when I'm "beating up my kitty" (which he likes, being a very weird kitty) was meowing strangely on the other side of the door after my alarm went off. I hope it's just a weird kitty.

. . . . . .well, sort of aside.


No feelings of weird shit coming down the pipeline, but hubby and I were talking Saturday afternoon about how odd it is that no great big terrist /sic/ attacks have been thwarted recently. In fact, we were wondering if Ministry of Keeping the Wealthy Wealthy, er, I mean, Department of Fatherland Insincerity, oops, I meant, Institute of Homebased Insanity. . . . .has ever actually halted a real attack.

We know they aren't doing anything to protect the food supply, the water systems, the electric grid and power plants, the gas pipelines, the bridges, etc. So how do we know they've accomplished anything?

Personally, I think the terrists are indeed planning something and I think it's going to happen relatively soon. I think they got damned lucky on 9/11 -- with or without assistance from the booshies -- and I think they also learned a lot from both their successes and their failures on 9/11.

But I also think they know exactly what's going on in this country, far better than we (meaning us ordinary folks as well as the "intelligence community"/oxymoron) know what's going on over there. I think they know the state of the economy, the state of the military, the state of the anxiety here.

If ever there were evidence that the BFEE is nutzoid and/or bringin' on de raptchoor, I think it's their utter lack of concern for what's happening here. This country really is a sitting duck for another major attack, and I do believe that when it comes, it's gonna be one helluva lot worse than 9/11. And I think the boooshies will be dancin' in the streets, waitin' to be lifted up.

We are damned lucky they haven't hit us again here. I don't think it's because they can't. I think they stick to their own timetable and won't be inticed to change their script. They know just how predictable we are.

you would be burned as a Witch

:scared:

n/t

You got me laughing about imminent destruction. Not bad!

"Ministry of Keeping the Wealthy Wealthy, er, I mean, Department of Fatherland Insincerity, oops, I meant, Institute of Homebased Insanity"--good one.

an incident will have to happen that will warrant such.

is about as likely as the chance that I will have a birthday in 2005 ,and I don't realy like them odds.I'm not trying to make a prediction but the date January 12th is stuck in my head.

no reason i could see to be so uneasy. couldn't really eat much for lunch today either because my stomach was knotted up.

nothing "weird" happening here (no strange dreams or whatever), but i get the feeling something's not quite right & i can't put my finger on it...something really big (and nasty) about to happen. where, when, to whom? dunno.

my dogs are barking, but they bark at everything, including boxes that get blown down the street & banana trees that fall over.

as for the terror threats, ain't it interesting how this is the first holiday season since 2001 that we aren't under some sort of terrorist alert? could it be that all those "terror alerts" were completely BOGUS? hmmm....

dg

to lose it for a minute or two. It was a horrible sense of dread. I just told myself that it was a panic attack but it felt different.

I've had visions before and they've come true. I "saw" my best friend in a car wreck and even called her to ask her to stay home that night. She thought I was nuts, went out anyway with three others in the car and flipped it about 4 or 5 times.

Weird stuff today, though. I can't put my finger on it.

Hoping I am just having a panic attack...

I haven't picked up on anything, but my cat has been trying to literally climb the walls for the past 24 hours. This is not normal Riley behavior and I spent much of last evening asking him what his problem was. He did it again this morning...climbed up onto the back of the couch and proceeded to stretch waaaaaaay up the wall, claws out...meowing like a crazed lunatic the whole time. Hmmmm.

Don't mean to be flip, but I noticed this post was Monday morning. I do believe in psychic powers or "vibes," what have you; I've seen them in action. (I, fortunately or unfortunately, have none at all.)

I've had several very disturbing dreams and feel very anxious most of the time. It could be attributed to the pressures of the season, but I don't think so. I've had several "psychic" moments over the years when I've had the overwhelming feeling that something bad was going to happen and my senses were correct. This is one of those times....

i fear all the arab countries will unite and attack the bases in iraq

I mean, I'm going home in a week to spend the holiday with my family, and I'm looking forward to that, but I'm feeling a negative of holiday cheer. Part of it is that I found out that a school friend of mine was killed this past week :(. Bleak in general.

I'm hoping my family will perk me up.

than has been reported. I speak a tiny amount of Arabic and follow some of the websites favored by jihadists just to see what they're up to, and i sense more excitement than would be expected about this message. (didn't read the message, so i can't tell you what it said) FWIW, in the thread on one of these websites claiming responsibility for the Mosul attack, someone posts: "....the coming days will bring more victories for the mujahadeen, inside and outside iraq." Of course 90% of the stuff on these websites is crap, but i don't know, i have a vibe that something is going to happen in the next month or so as well.

Man, I want the bloodshed to stop. Just fucking STOP.

since the beginning of the month and haven't felt in a Christmas spirit at all.

Of course, being unemployed could have alot to do with it. Still, I haven't felt right all month. A lot of it probably has to do with my nephew joining the Marines. He was suppose to start Boot Camp 2 days after Christmas, but they called and asked him if he'd go earlier as they are having a hard time filling their platoons - (this is from the recruiter who signed him up, plus he got $5,000 and will graduate a PFC instead of just a Private)

Anyway, he left last Thursday for Parris Island and I've really felt uneasy since then. My feeling is that just after the 1st of the year...perhaps after Bush's coronation, he'll announce the draft is coming back. That's just my gut feeling.

I hate he went in, but he wants to be a Chef and hopes the military can help him go to school.

I just wish I could shake the uneasy feeling that something major is coming and soon.

:scared:

You mean it wasn't guaranteed?

don't train cooks anymore. They use civilians in that area now.

So he told his recruiter he wants his MOS to be office work after Boot Camp. After he finishes his commitment he hopes to get GI money to attend a cooking college like - I think it's called Johnson and Wales. The tuition is expensive.

Still, the best advice I can send along that he can do anything about is to take as many base classes as possible, and get all the General education college credits he can out of the way. Or Clep them all like I did :evilgrin:

were surprised by that as well. My dad was in the Marines for 30 years(served in Korea and during Vietnam) and my brother(my nephew's father) was in for about 12 years.

My brother was uneasy about him joining, but he's like me and thinks there is a draft coming and thought if he got in and chose his MOS it would be better than being drafted.

I'm still uneasy about it.

Was he guaranteed an MOS or did he go open contract and hope for the best?

Earlier it sounded like he just asked for an office job, this post said chose, there's an important distinction.

I'm just going on what my brother told our folks. We don't live in the same city so I haven't spoken to him directly. I will be seeing him on Christmas Day and hope to get all the info then.

Navy still has cooks and guarentees their MOS and they're not short on people to send out to boot so he could have stayed back a little bit.

but I know that if the Pakistan military nukes us, president Hee Haw would level Libya. If Iran hits our nuke reactors, Hee Haw bombs the hell out of Syria. If North Korea hits us with an ICBM, Hee Haw declares war on Singapore. Get the picture?

I looked at profiles of people on this thread who reported either feeling odd feelings or animals acting weird. Those profiles with locations show: MN; Lincoln, NE; TN (forget the town); Pittsburg, PA; and Rockville, MD. That makes (very approximately) a circle of about 500 miles radius centered somewhere between Chicago and Cincinnati. Anyone who posted odd feelings or animal behavior who doesn't have a profile or doesn't have location info there want to refute this?

My home station is Scott AFB, IL and my home town is Green Bay, WI. FWIW. The feeling started when I found out I was going home, though, so I don't know.

...to be Union City, IN/OH. Anything in or around that part of the country significant? Nuclear power plant, or something?

and my dog and cat haven't seemed the least bit perturbed about anything. I've been a little high-strung, but have attributed it to holiday preparation overload - way too much time in the kitchen up to my elbows in cookie dough and lasagna noodles.

Thinking back to 9/11...I woke up screaming at 5am that morning. Had the worst nightmare of my life (and I maybe have one nightmare a year). A deranged homeless guy in long white robes attacked me, disabled me and killed my dog. Two weeks later, I saw a photo of OBL and realized he was the deranged homeless guy in my dream.

Last night...I dreamed the moon exploded. It wasn't a nightmare...just a real weird dream.

If you check the link I gave, MOST of these are positioned throughout the quadrant that is formed by the location of those individuals who reported (and whom gave approx. location in profile) unusual feelings/events.

Been marking on the wall map, some of the reactors are ALSO near state capitals.

They told me when I'm going home, but since then I've felt a certain amount of unease, which is weird; I've been wanting to go home pretty much since I got out here.

To prompt an Iran or Syria invasion.
I dont put anything past these evil assholes.

I've had very intense feelings just prior to bad things happening, too. I'd like to ignore them, but I've learned to pay attention when this feeling comes because it has never failed to be correct.

A few examples: Very early in the morning of 9/11/01 I had a horrible nightmare involving a building crashing down on people in the street. There was lots of smoke and I was running around trying to help people get out of the building in my dream. I remember feeling surrounded by a horrible, merciless evil and being scared to death. I woke up so upset I actually cried and got down on my knees and said a prayer. I've never responded that way to a dream before. Not two hours later I was driving to work and heard the radio announce that the first plane had struck one of the towers. When I saw the building actually coming down on tv, it was the most awful feeling I've ever had. It felt too damn familiar.

Another experience of this type I've had was three years ago January. My mom was terminally ill and no one knew how much time she had. We lived far apart and I had traveled to be with her for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. We both knew that when I left after Christmas, that was the last time we would see each other. Three weeks later, I was waiting at a street corner in my city to cross when a woman in a wheelchair across the way caught my eye. For a split second, the woman's face was my mother's, and the vision was so intense I gasped out loud. I looked away for a moment to compose myself, and when I looked back, the woman was gone. I felt the most urgent feeling that I should call my mom immediately, so I did as soon as I got home. We had the closest, most loving conversation we ever had. Two days later, she died suddenly of a heart attack. I look on that final conversation as a precious gift that would have slipped through my fingers if I had not paid attention to the feeling I had.

Just recently, another strange feeling that I had about a coworker came to pass as well. We have this young woman at our office who is 6 months pregnant with her first child. A week ago Monday I was sitting at my desk when I suddenly had a very strong feeling that something bad was going to happen to her, that she would be hurt. I dismissed the feeling as nonsense, but the very next day, she was hit by a car crossing the street to come to work. She suffered a small skull fracture and was hospitalized for a couple of days, but is now home on bed rest. Fortunately, the baby is alright and the mother will fully recover. I hate being right about these things.

Moon exploding, that sort of thing?

Must be that Fluoxetine Hydrochloride.

How many soldiers were killed in Mosul?

I hate to even say what I am feeling now, so I won't.

How can these idiots who made the decision to invade Iraq sleep at night?

I am in the middle of a debate on another board with a freeper who thinks it was okay to torture the Iraqi prisoners. I just don't get it.

nt

Unbelievable, unfortunately, something terrible did happen and Sara B. was dead on.

the beginning.

Just the beginning.

I was getting ready for work this morning and heard the news about Mosul. I had a feeling that "we" were going to get hit hard. The phrase "Black Christmas" came to mind.

No odd animal actions except for my cat carrying a homemade angel christmas decoration around the house and growling if anyone comes near him.

Before 911, I saw many crows crossing my line of vision.

In my town in the last couple of weeks, I've seen buzzards circling. Fifty to a hundred at a time. My sister saw these too.

Have the heebie jeebies now.

:scared:

The only "feeling" I've had lately is last night as I was falling asleep. I heard a plane going flying overhead and I was immediately filled with dread that it would crash in to my home and kill me and my family. I still occasionally get these feelings since 9/11. :(

really big and bad will happen in Iraq, but I can't pinpoint the timing. I considered Christmas Day, New Year's Day, and of course they have the election coming up. But I keep getting the feeling that Iraq is going to end up looking alot like a very large moon crater the size of Texas eventually.

this is one of his/her most current.

snip...

Also, I am forwarding to you tonight, a précis of a very high level report on bioterrorism ( an attack on the US using smallpox..) The original document, which has the highest classifications, would be a real bitch to scan and forward (it runs to six hundred pages) came from three reports: The CIA, the CDC (which is entirely in the Administration’s pocket) and a British intelligence source. (Also highly classified and designed for their leadership alone.)

It will scare the hell out of you and, hopefully, your readers. And the terrifying fact is that it is a certainty and that nothing can be done about it. There is a projected dieoff in this country alone of nearly 70,000,000 people when this gets going! There are absolutely no defenses against it, the government having deliberately destroyed huge stocks of effective vaccine. We know with absolute certainty that terrorists have the smallpox virus, obtained from crooked Russian officials., and although we do not know at present which group is planning to use it as a bioterrorist weapon, we do know for certain that it will be used against us and probably within the next six months. (The winter months are considered the peak months for a widespread dissemination of the virus.)”

and retaliation is coming for all the horrible things that the leadership of this country has done and how we are all in the same boat as they are, after all it's the "US" even though half of the citizens do not support what is going on and are fighting against it.

This is not the same feeling as pre-9/11. Then, I felt an oppressive sense of danger all around me that built over a period of about two weeks. As I have had premonitions before, I have learned to trust my instincts, even though I sometimes can't always tell what is my psychic ability and what is just imagination run wild. The buildup to 9/11 was so powerful a feeling, I became afraid to go out of the house, which resulted in my not going to work on 9/10 and 9/11, so I was home watching tv when the planes hit. That behavior is extremely uncharacteristic, as I don't miss work, and I'm not a paranoid type.

I don't feel that same feeling now, but I do feel that a corner was turned within the last week or less, there is no going back, and that our country is about to experience a great and violent fall here on our soil.

Is this a premonition of some dreadful event or just the realization that we will all eventually have to pay for the horror, destruction and death that's been generated of the neocons, republicans, and bush administration and their supporters? I don't know. But my mind keeps coming back to this idea that I need to get out of here . . . now.

is this, if true, something that the higher ups are informed of and thus the reason *jK conceded so quickly????

:scared: for certain people I knew in Washington D.C.


Maybe on second thought anyone who either is an expat abroad or who knew one should be :scared:, be very :scared:, for the "cowboy boot may be about to drop," in the sense of terrorism, on their heads, and I meant people like expats in Saudi Arabia.

I think bush and Rumsffeld have so poorly judged just how easy these Ayrabs would roll over to America's military might and we'd be pumping Iraqi oil in our gas tanks by now.

Do you feel the disaster is Asia is the cause of the above uneasy feelings everyone was having? It certainly fits my angst.

Wow folks...someone even mentioned an earthquake.
