Quick Question: Who besides John O'Neill is credited with predicting...

Edited on Fri Aug-11-06 02:36 AM by Hissyspit

foreseeing, foreshadowing, having prescience concerning the 9/11 attacks?

Serious examples. I know their was some guy named Dan who warned of al Qaeda in the mid-90s. The TV screenwriters for "The Lone Gunmen" did an episode in early 2001 about a plane almost flying into the WTC. Who else? Clinton admin members count, too.

1. Alex Jones. He said in July of 2001 that the NWO types were going

to attack NY and blame al Qaeda. He begged his listeners to phone
their congressional Reps and tell them they were wise to the scam
and so head it off.

3. I tried to link the infowars website, and DU pretended I had multiple

windows open, and prevented that.

Alex Jones is a rightwinger, big on the Bill of Rights.
Some claim he's an anti-semite, but I haven't seen that.
Also he's reportedly kind of rude and domineering in person.
I like his movies.

4. He's also a Texan, and that adds to his lustre as a "good guy".

Works in Austintatious, Travelers County.

5. I'm sorry I maligned DU in suggesting that they had dishonestly

invoked the "multiple windows" error to keep me from linking
infowars.

I've recently been using Internet Explorer, and when I
invoke "New Window" from the DU page, it naturally opens
up a new DU window. Then I go off from that to do my search,
and forget that to DU it's still a second DU window. I will
now invoke my new windows from alternate windows other than
the DU window and I'm sure that everything will be fine.

7. Didn't the OCT'ers predict it? Wait, wait. I know what you're thinking,

but if you consider what OCT really means, it's a reasonable supposition.

* OCT = Osama Conspiracy Theorist

* OCT = Official Cavemandidit Theorist

* OCT = Odd Coincidences Theorist

Edit to add (and fix) wikipedia link

Frontline did an interesting program on him a while back. You can watch it online:

For a quick overview, check out the wikipedia entry:

10. Very curious you would mention him. Why would you even expect

it might be that John O'Neill? You are the original "HuskerDU", right?
