It could be the coming of a superior-race, possibly hinted about on many ancient scriptures. Maybe TPTB really worship an external creature that had dominion over earth once upon a time...
What about the other way round? Nobody's coming, and Dubai is the site of the Stargate, and all the rich dudes are going another place. It would certainly explain this lot watch,
Lol! just kidding.......er, I think.

It's easy to understand really. There's no conspiracy here. Money is just an idea. Once you own the idea, you can do whatever you want.

Who's wrong? Everyone who posted in the thread? About what? How do you know? What "2000 millenium" great event associated with Egypt which was being geared up for are you talking about? So you're saying that a series of events that will initiate a new era of Global change and Global slavery is what Dubai's breakneck-paced, unstoppable, over-the-top building is about? Either I'm totally lost or you're being super vague and not quite following the discussion.

They save money, for one thing, by using slaves to build all those structures. Years ago when it started going up and up there was an article in Vanity Fare about how they advertised in Pakistan needing workers. Many, many came, some using their life savings to make the trip. These were poor people.
I wish I had kept that article, but I gave that magazine to a friend to read on the plane while he was on his way to Dubai.

I wonder how much of this was built with interest free money thrown about by the Fed and manipulation of the gold and other markets and as others have pointed out all the cheap labour on site .
More likely the world capital of the drug washing buisness for the rich

When they got there, they were not allowed to leave. There were pictures of them loading into buses after a dawn to dusk work day, being taken to their camp 'quarters".

Of course the journalist wasn't allowed to interview any of them, but managed to talk to one of them for a few minutes. The Pakistani guy told them they were being paid almost nothing, and it was impossible to leave. They were all wanting to go as it was nothing like it had been represented. He said they considered themselves enslaved, and the work itself was incredibly difficult, with many sustaining injuries on a daily basis.
eta: I posted without reading the thread. I will go do that now. It looks very interesting. S&F.
