By the way Savior, I have nothing vested in this so I was wondering - this guy Eric May, I take it his notions are offensive to you, but is it his ideas or is it him? I mean is this guy profiting from his 'predictions?' (Please - I'm not being sarcastic here - It's just your answer was very... emphatic)

What I have a problem with is people being duped. And assigning any sort of credibility to him, based not on his track-record or who the man is, but because he is saying what you want to hear. The right words come out of his mouth, and suddenly he's "brave" and a "hero." Nevermind that he hasn't got one prediction right yet; but even then you have a ready-made explaination -- it was his prediction that stopped the attack, so he's right no matter what. And you believe him, once again, based on nothing more than he says so. He said the right words, after all.

granted; however, i want to point out that these false flags are doing exactly what is intended and that is to socially condition the masses into apathy and complacency. Remember the moral of "don't cry wolf?"
What is your take on this?

I'm on your side on this one (hence my earlier post referring to 'feeling' safe, and 'saved.') But it seems that the reverse is true in some cases - it seems to cause an aggressive 'fear' response in some - as if it weren't so much a legitimate warning as a direct threat.

Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death...
it seems to me that both takes is mass social conditioning.

Did you think that my comment was about 'him' being brave or a 'hero? - man did THAT come off wrong...you respond to me as if you know my opinions and my mindset, but I don't think you do.

Not everything people say has to make YOU feel warm and fuzzy. Unless I missed the point of the thread.

It just occurred to me, you used the work 'duped.' To what end? I assume the point is some of these predictors are sitting down to coffee somewhere chuckling at the expense of those duped?
Sunday April 13th 2008
The Moon enters Leo 06:29 GMT. The Sun and Moon are then both in Fire signs (together with Mercury and Venus). This is a sporting and enterprising day full of colour and drama.
The Sun in Aries is sextile Neptune in Aquarius at 07:31 GMT
Mercury squares Jupiter 17:49 GMT. Urgent hasty and competitive urges may arise today and severely cloud judgments.

So...unless an attack happens in the next 8 hours, I guess Mr. May will be proven wrong, yet again.
