—WCN Warning: Economic/Terrorist event possible—

Three important posts from the Northeast Intelligence Network

Our current economic crisis: Could part be a terror attack on U.S. financials?

Analyzing patterns and pre-attack indicators

More in financial terrorism possibilities

Though other indications have come our way, these three posts from NIN are very clear, concise and paint the most complete picture of any website available.

Information has come to WCN from the most reliable sources that U.S. officials are taking very seriously the possibility of “severe disruptions” in the next two weeks, centered on October 7. It’s also very interesting and troubling that the “web bot project” from this group is suggesting that their predictive linguistic data gathering is suggesting a potentially massive and important event near that same date.

This is a time when our economy is at its most vulnerable. I believe this is all very real.

Be safe and be prepared.

This is a developing story that WCN will continue to follow.

Welcome to a brand spankin’ new week!

Money on our minds this Monday, as the White House predicts a $490 Billion budget deficit next year. Given our government’s fondness for spin and general economic incompetence, I’d say the truth is probably somewhere north of that figure, between $490 and $1 Trillion. Add in bank and FDIC bailouts that will be necessary in the next 18 months, and the larger of those two numbers is probably a lowball.

Too many people today read that news, shrug and say “Well, that’s the government. They can handle it.” What will be an even bigger story in ‘09 however, is starting to sneak up on us and seep into the mainstream media. Listen to this segment of the Diane Rehm show (launches a Windows Media file) and you’ll see that dozens of states are under water budget-wise for 2009. This will mean problems with education, health care, police/fire protection, highway and infrastructure maintenance and much more. The resources we need on a daily basis will be strained.

As I write this, the DOW has tumbled already, and even Reuters is reporting that the Gold Futures market suggests that the metal will trade at $1,200/ounce by the end of the year. So, it’s no longer just Jim Sinclair making this claim!

Meanwhile, Jim Kunstler has a terrifically dark piece about a drive through New York State (where he lives), with some pointed, vivid and very compelling observations about the state of our society:

Hopelessness infects this landscape like a miasma. Whatever young adults remain in these places are not thinking about a plausible future, only looking to complete their full array of tattoos and lose themselves in raptures of sex, methedrine, and video aggression.

And that’s the lighter bit Seriously though. Kunstler’s views ring so true, even though regularly reading him, you start to get the idea he really, really dislikes tattoos. I believe though, that Jim will one day be seen as one of many visionaries whose dark futures often hit closer to the eventual truth than most. God help us.

Finally, in the “can’t wait for the future” hit parade, George Ure at UrbanSurvival.com unhappily predicts an “October Surprise” that involves a hidden hand, false flag and an attempt to disguise (if not avoid) the Greater Depression bearing down on us right now. I remember similar predictions (not from George) about the last of the Clinton days, where an event causes the White House to declare Martial Law and cancel the elections. Looking at history though, I have to admit it would be more in character for this administration than the last to attempt something like this.

Time will tell. Have a great week. Be watchful.

Iranian government spokesman Gholam-Hossein Elham said on Saturday that any attacks against the Islamic republic would be an “act of stupidity.” Quotes a report from China Net. Reuters quotes Elham as saying again that should Israel attack, Iran will crush them.

Both reports talk about the “madness” and “stupidity” of attacking Iran. What the Iranian mouthpiece fails to mention is the necessity, some say is playing a major part in the possible future attack on the country’s nuclear facilities, and of course leadership and infrastructure. With a deepening housing crisis in the U.S. and financial troubles that look bleaker every day (the second biggest bank failure in U.S. history – IndyMac’s assets were seized yesterday), record high oil prices and a weakening dollar, the thought that our leadership might go once again to the well of war to create economic recovery is not as much conspiracy theory as it was a few months ago.

Many talk about the fiscal (not to mention moral) fiasco the Iraq war has become, but looked at from a larger perspective, it has put the U.S. and our allies within easy striking distance of the only remaining oil-rich enemy, as the reports of Israeli jets practicing for an Iranian raid and using U.S. airbases in Iraq in the operations show. And though we seemed to be getting along through the 1990s, clearly the 444 days the Iranians held Americans hostages during the end of the Carter administration has not been forgiven by many of us. Should we commit to a clash of arms, I think there will be more American support for that action than many expect. A clue that an attack is near may well be a PR barrage that brings those memories back to the forefront. Watch for the mainstream media to begin replaying that footage, in an effort to reignite anti-Iranian feelings.

It’s a dangerous time. Watch carefully for the clues, be prepared and keep your family safe.

According to the GlobalEurope Anticipation Bulletin, a crash of our global economy is expected this fall, in September of 2008. The report cites the progression of the collapse of our economy, including the housing bubble and most recently, municipal bonds. It also lays out the process of “decoupling” taking place around the world, designed to protect other regions and economies from being taken down by our crash.

It’s compelling reading. Read more…

If you are of the opinion that “Islam is just another peaceful religion,” you should read this article from American Thinker immediately.

It’s a simple, well-reasoned look at the religion that, unlike all other major faiths of the world, seeks to be the only religion on Earth. In other words, radical Islamic fundamentalists demand that we all become Muslim or we die.

It’s so sad that we spend billions of dollars on a war in the Middle East when our President is cozy with the government that spawned the 9-11 hijackers (Saudi Arabia). We must wake up and realize that unless we stop CAIR (The Council on American-Islamic Relations) using our own laws and beliefs against ourselves, we will find ourselves on the defensive in a losing battle and our grandchildren will face the choice:

Islam or death.
