Iran attack

Wasn't the rumor being slung as news amongst the woo crowd that there was supposed to be an attack or a nuclear attack on Iran either Friday or Saturday? i actually heard a woo claim that the attack already began in secret. I suggest we all go pray to the FSM

I thought it was that they were predicting the US and/or UK would be attacking Iran because of the 15 military personal.

Pretty much but their release threw a wrench in the wogic (wooish logic - I am copyrighting the term) so they decided it was going to happen anyway.

The idea was that there was going to be a false-flag nuclear attack on the USA followed by a nuclear retaliation by the USA.

Its actually good that they spread all these stupid rumors. It will show fence sitters who come to Loose Change or Pilots for Truth that these people are driven by paranoia, irrationality, and the need for BIG NEWS.

The Truthers are always the first to know of these things...sadly, it is the sheeple that are the last to find out.

I would say it is the truthers almost inhuman powers of observation that keeps them about a decade ahead of the rest of us mindless drones.

If you are really diligent you might see mention of our secret nuclear invasion of Iran stuffed on the 23rd page of the Washington Post or sumpthin, otherwise, no one in America would even know. Not really news worthy ..YET, not until the truthers bring us up to speed.

Well, it's 2 pm on Easter Sunday here, and the big one hasn't dropped. Alex Jones has saved the world again. At least in his fevered imagination.

It was a press release from Russia, saying that their Intel showed a Good Friday attack.

http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0704/S00070.htm

Tom Heneghan reported that French Intel foiled a flase-flag terror plot on Chicago on April 4. I won't bother posting the link, because it's woo to you.

Heh....never thought of it that way but your right...he does have a quasi-messiah complex. And it does look like his back in this picture if you squint your eyes just right...

Again with the Alex Jones. People here give him way more importance than he warrants. I could be wrong, but I don't think he even mentioned the Good Friday attack on Iran scenario.

Tom Heneghan reported that French Intel foiled a flase-flag terror plot on Chicago on April 4. I won't bother posting the link, because it's woo to you.

So, you like to think of yourself as a critical thinker..... a skeptic even.

And yet you're happy to post two links which basically relate the same story (though the scoop.co.nz manages to spin it as only a woo can spin) which was apparently reported in the Russian 'media' (though we don't actually have any source material) claiming that the information was provided by anonymous russian 'officials'.

Of course the more woo of the two sites actually prefers to use the Jerusalem Post as the centre of it's story and tie this in with the court case involving Conrad Black. Woooo Wooooo.

Now, do you take these reports at face value?

Do you wonder if maybe the reports were planted to put pressure on Iran?

Do you wonder why the much maligned 'mainstream media' didn't run with these reports? (though they were perfectly happy to report Seynour Hersh's writing of last year)

It's nice to see that you refrain from posting a further woo site to back up your Tom Heneghan story, though despite your own awareness that this would be considered woo, you still seem to invest it with your confidence.

It rather suggests that you know your information is suspect, but your desire to believe in it overides your ability to think critically about it.

You're kinda woo-lite

That's Alex Jones' schtick -- He predicts everything.. He predicted that there would be a terror attack on US soil, predicted war with North Korea, An Attack on America and blamed on Iran, War with Iran, War with Iraq, War with Venezuela, War with the Taliban... Predicted that a Democrat would be our next president--just as the NWO had planned, Predicted that a Republican would win the presidency-- Just as the NWO had planned. And that is from listening to just ONE of his programs.

I have read from credible sources that the attack on Iran is supposed to start on May 23, which just happens to be Israel Independance Day. This will be America's gift to Israel on its 59th birthday.

I suggest all truthers pack their bags and run for the hills before this event. They will be the first ones to be thrown into the FEMA death camps once WW3 begins.

As I recall, it was Webster Tarpley, retailing at least three different versions of the story of a "false-flag" operation, who blew the whistle on this. No proper evidence or sources or facts in any of the scenarios.
However.
Now that it hasn't happened, our premier woo-sayers will be right there, saying "ah! it would have happened - if we <heroic NWO-defying gladiators of Twoof> hadn't pre-empted it!"
Mind you, if it had happened, I imagine they wouldn't be on-line any more, and their last postings would be along the lines of "OMFG its real!"

you might be able to trademark say "woogic" - if you can prove you keep it in use as a trademark (use it or lose it - reason why poor selling comic characters get new comic books every so often). Can't copyright it (like titles).

The twoofers predict something will happen; it doesn't happen; they congratulate themselves on being right because the act of prediction made it not happen. Marx's comment on this phenomenon is pertinent:
