The Danger Coming – Post Labor Day Disaster?

A lot of the doom and gloom sites are in a bit of a tizzy over this possibility.  It’s seemingly a perfect storm of worry that something wicked’s coming this way, fast.

Among them:

Petagon Plan: Annihilate Tehran’s Military in 3 Days – From WorldNetDaily.

Something "out of the blue" – From Urbansurvival.com.

Just in from the predictive linguistics team at www.halfpasthuman.com:

"Igor here.

Clif has worked all day yesterday and all last night. And was back at it at 4 this morning when I checked in. We have a large data bubble of datas which are showing up for Sunday, 9-2.

Clif says that he will have part 1 posted by Saturday afternoon at the latest since so much of the data says that Sunday and Monday will be very nasty here in US.

He probably ain’t wrong about this one. And I think that he is probably right about the 19th too. But anyway part 1 by late Saturday.

Everybody guard your pies. Igor out. "

No, I have no idea what the bubble is that is showing up in the ‘time scanning’ technology, but something ‘out of the blue’ Sunday/Monday seems to be coming…

Though George, the writer/editor of Urban Survival (channeling his buddies  the "Time Monks" of the website Halfpasthuman.com) often gets worked up in his wise, calm way, about coming challenges, I’ve yet to see him this specific and predictive about disastrous events.

Then this, from the Daily Kos:

"We are going to hit Iran. Big time."

The last one’s interesting. I don’t believe for a minute that there’s a female former-Marine-now-Navy LSO stationed on a supercarrier and acting as a liason for Marines stationed on the ship. Too much detail. If there is such a person, she’s undoubtedly in the brig right now regretting talking about this stuff.

I do believe, however, that the information may well be legitimate, it’s source well hidden behind the female LSO it’s attributed to.

So, as Sunday, September 2 unfolds, we watch and wait. As we will through tomorrow’s Labor Day pause.

Whether or not something happens this holiday weekend, there is the specter of the Iran showdown looming on the horizon. Many observers believe that the period after Labor Day is the time the White House uses to beat war drums and create the necessary climate for war. It happened that way in Gulf War 1, 2 and you should expect it this Fall. Google News search for the News/PR push for war with Iran.

***Update – September 3, 12:01pm – Kos from The Daily Kos has pulled the LSO story. Found out it was a hoax. No surprise, given the above. Doesn’t mean the basic message isn’t accurate, though.

Interesting times.
