Beware 22nd September

I don't wish to be alarmist, but I should draw your attention to this report in today's Times, which looks at Iraqi links to the recent terrorism:

http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,2001320008-2001324249,00.html

It says: 'FBI chiefs also raised the possibility of a second wave of violence. They said that evidence collected during the past seven days pointed to September 22 as a significant date.'

That's Saturday. Do take precautions wherever you are.

Salon has the story here:

have you guys ever listened to loudon wainwrights 3's i woke up this morning (at least i think that what it's called) - it was on his last album of social satires, and I keep thinking of it...

Geoff, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

This is a good a place for a Shameless Bid for Publicity as any! Brazen Hussies at the Hope & Anchor Islington, 22/9. We've got experience in this kind of thing as we played on the 11th too.

Last time I heard "they" had planned an attack on 18th September. now that it has passed without event a date for 22nd has suddenly turned into THE IDES OF MARCH???

Kodanshi, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I will be in sheffield on the 22nd to the best of my knowledge noone ha ever tried to attack sheffield

Ed, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

it's called "Pretty Good Day"

Geoff, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Why would someone attack on a Saturday, when people are least likely to be congregated in city centers? Unless some type of action were to be taken against centers of recreation and / or leisure.

Fortunately, I have to go to the burbs for a baby shower, but I have to take a downtown train to do that.

Last night I had the most horrible dream: young people were perched on the window ledges overlooking the courtyard of my apartment building. Several of them slipped and fell to the courtyard below. I scrambled to call 911 but there was no answer. The courtyard was filled with blood and broken bodies.

Kerry, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

if nothing happens will the FBI chief resign please? Proposed amendment to the US constitution: everyone above a certain rank in the US security and intelligence services to wear signs round their necks saying, "Arrrr. I jus' don't know what I'm doin'."

Why the 11th? Why the 22nd? It's still bluddy guesswork. Do they even "know" yet that those 12 Saudis weren't just ordinary passengers?

I had a dream too. It involved Ronan and the Human League, only the League were made of chocolate.

mark s, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sorry, Kerry, didn't mean to make light of yr dream. Several friends have been having dreams not unlike like yrs, but mine remain obstinately piffling.

mark s, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, don't worry - you don't have to apologize. I *wish* I could have dreams about the Human League. Maybe I should count Human Leaguers when I try to fall asleep...

Kerry, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

[...] only the League were made of chocolate.

Apparently I'm not the only one thinking about fudge.

Dan Perry, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well, I'm glad to see you're all being so upbeat about Saturday.

Personally I'm extremely nervous, but I do live in a city which is still cordoned off, full of screaming ambulances, where half the phones are still down, and where the horizon at the end of my local streets is missing two bloody gigantic buildings, which I just can't get used to.

I will be stockpiling water, withdrawing a lot of cash, and trying to buy a gas mask. I fully expect the next attack to be biological / chemical. I really, really hope I'm just being a jumpy jeremiah. I don't intend to leave New York City, just to be vigilant.

Momus, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Personally, I have waves of panic attacks, feeling scared shitless. I haven't gotten anywhere near seven hours of sleep at night. I jump at every siren and plane that flies over. But then I chide myself for being so paranoid. In the end, if I'm going to die in the very near future, I'd rather not spend my last days in a state of panic.

Kerry, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I suppose it gives anyone little reason to visit my blog if I give all my good links away here, but why not see what the Cassiopaeans (aliens) have to say about recent events. Yes, future-predicting alien channelling can be found here.

Nude Spock, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mark I had the same dream so many times during my adolescence.

Ronan, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dammit, that's my birthday!

Simon H., Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

hey, it's mine too.

Jeff, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

What are the chances of that happening, eh?

Richard Tunnicliffe, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, well, I'm flying back to London on the 21st so does that mean I'll be OK? Good. Thanks for that.

Madchen, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hmm, 22 is the double of 11...

Freaky Not-So-Fun Facts


-The date of the attack: 9/11 - 9 + 1 + 1 = 11 

-September 11th is the 254th day of the year: 2 + 5 + 4 = 11

-After September 11th there are 111 days left to the end of the year.

-119 is the area code to Iraq/Iran. 1 + 1 + 9 = 11 

-Twin Towers - standing side by side, looks like the number 11 

-The first plane to hit the towers was Flight 11 

-State of New York - The 11 State added to the Union 

-Flight 11 - 92 on board - 9 + 2 = 11 

-Flight 77 - 65 on board - 6 + 5 = 11

Don't know what it means, but them there Cassiopaeans warned about stuff like this... Odd.

Nude Spock, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

111 has nothing to do with 11 or 9.

mark s, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Good point there! This reminds me of the Lincoln vs. Kennedy spooky coincidences list. It makes me wonder, but about what I have no idea. Unrelated coincidences mean what, exactly?

It could have an impact on the deluded mind of someone cypher-obsessed.

Nude Spock, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Operation Infinite Justice. Great name.

jel, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I just got this message from another mailing list - take Momus's advice NYC and other large urban centres of the US?.

Stock up on water.

I just got back from meeting with a cleint of mine who works for the Nuclear Regulatory Commision in Maryland. She is in Connection with the CIA a lot with her work and what they are telling people (on the inside) is to be prepared for a possible attack on our water systems and they are themselves all stocking water. Now I think and hope this would never happen but decided to send the information along because I would feel bad if something did happen and one of our US Gatherers got in a bad situation due to it and I didnt pass the info on. Do what you want with the info and feel about it how you want. The way I think, its not a big deal to buy $15-20 worth of water and and if it doesent happen, you just drink it later

DJ Martian, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Who just got back from a meeting with his client, Mr Evian or Mr Volvic?

Does it not strike you as odd that the might of the world's combined intelligence operations were clueless about the terrorist attacks on 11th September, but suddenly the whole world is aware that Something Might Happen this Saturday?

Madchen, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Funny, I was just reading an article about Chicago's water supply. I couldn't figure out why the mayor was so worked up about it, putting it under lockdown and all. But the article said that Chicago was a leading water supplier in the US, so it's an attractive target for terrorists. The article also said that it would be damn difficult to contaminate the lake water enough to kill people. I suppose someone could attack the filtration plant by b*mb*ng it. But I just don't want to give in to paranoia.

Kerry, Wednesday, 19 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I guess its a good day to go camping which I will on the 22nd.

Pennysong Hanle y, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well, Ramon picked a wonderful day to move to NYC, I guess. My mom's all happy about it, she's all "He'll protect you from chemical warfare!" and I'm all, dude, how is he going to do that?

I had to go grocery shopping anyhow, cos "there's no food in [my] food", so I was going to buy piles of shit so it just gives me an excuse, I'm stocking up for armageddon.

Ally, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ally, are you going to buy some raspberries? I guess it would be a good i dea on the 22nd ot avoid terrorist targets. ALthough I supose its hard to not drink the water. But I have heard that one thing the US is actually ahead of the world in is rotecting water supplies.

Pennysong Hanle y, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well, at time of typing, things are still looking relatively stable, Nostramomus.

Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Saturday, 22 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hey, no need to knock the guy. I'd be feeling jittery myself if I were right there. The only concrete thing I ever heard is that Boston was supposed to be targeted. Mmm.

Ned Raggett, Saturday, 22 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm sitting here with all this Poland Spring and Evian stock, which will drop on Monday since this 22nd of September thing fizzled. Damn, I can't even profiteer correctly!

Tadeusz Suchodolski, Saturday, 22 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I brought today's lack of events up at the pub this evening, and now apparently the word is that something will happen on Monday. Yeah, right, thsi will run and run, I can tell. I are NostraDG!

DG, Saturday, 22 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I had to go to my cousin's baby shower, and after I got back, I fell asleep on my mom's loveseat in the living room. Apparently, Armageddon wasn't coming. My mom was sitting next to me, watching CNN. Her screaming woke me up, "Oh my god, what's happening, oh my god, oh my god." I was still woozy from the sleep and I screamed, "oh my god, what? What?? And she didn't answer, she just kept saying "oh my god". I started to run for the basement, and finally she realized the significance of my reaction, and explained: some dogs down the street had gotten loose, and were fighting in the alley. I didn't realize how totally panicked I'd been all day until this happened. The dogs were spared, BTW. I told her never to overreact that way around me *again*.

Kerry, Saturday, 22 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

my flatmate cut my hair....apart from that, it's the 23rd here, and fuck all's happened.

Geoff, Saturday, 22 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Word is the FBI guy meant to say the 33rd the September

(East London was all police-sirens for abt half an hour last night: I went up on the roof to see what was afoot, but they were all coming from even further East, and I really really couldn't get with Leytonstone as London's Pentagon, so I went back to bed.)

mark s, Sunday, 23 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

eight months pass...
WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN?

DAVE OAKS, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Pedro's arm was supposed to give out again.
