I can't freakin' shake it: that feeling of an unraveling.

[Just Me]

I can not say whether the feeling is "bad" or "good". I can only say it is extraordinarily uncomfortable. For some, it will be a nightmare that ends,...for others, an illusion destroyed,...for a few, it ends life,...for a hearty bunch, it is the "beginning".

Is it just me? :shug:

pounce, we are lost.

14. On the contrary, if they hold back everytime we have a crisis, we will

NEVER put an end to the cycle. Rove won't let it stop.

8. If I die

I for one be glad to leave this world. I don't fear death, I welcome it.I never wanted to be born.I was forced to live.This world is fucked up even on a molecular level and so people are fucked.This ain't my natural home it's a prison..Platos suburban home cave with a TV on the wall.. I am so tired of the game of make believe called "society" and"the way things are"and "the powers that be".All the domestication,the greed ,haves and have nots and bullshit.People I fear will never grow wise enough to defy authority let alone free themselves from thier culture of fear of death and desire for dominance and control in a world that is uncertain and uncontrollable and changeavle unstable and violent...No one stops the bullies, the alphas and "big men" .People stand by and sadly they will obey "leaders" no matter how sick things get until the world ends.

16. I hear you

I want to go home, but don't know where it is.

[faithnotgreed]

18. dear panther

i hear your pain friend

actually i dont fear death either and for many people it is or will be preferable for many of the reasons you list

life while we have it can be beautiful but yes it can also definitely be an ongoing struggle and even a difficult burden

i pray that the time we have remaining will be filled with some goodness some hope because there are incredible and giving people in this world
i believe light will always overcome darkness but each of us has to determine what lightness means
its not the same for everyone and we shouldnt "force" anyone to feel what they cannot

warm thoughts for you friend
and a hug too
hope thats ok

[wli]

19. I'm glad I won't live long enough to see where this is going myself. n/t

[undergroundpanther]

25. Wish I was older.

My mom turned 78 last week I envy her.My aunt violet died I envy her too.Why does my body keep living? I've tried to kill it before and I failed..This world truly is a prison.

[wli]

31. I've got medical conditions that will take me out early.

I've never been so glad of them as I have been during Bushler's Reich.

[symbolman]

27. Just remember

that YOU can make Love appear out of thin air.

YOU can give someone else whatever it is that you've always longed for.

You're Jesus, the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, a Rock Star, and Einstein & Gandi all rolled into one.

Better now?

Just some song lyrics I've been thinking about, wanted to try them on someone sensitive enough to appreciate them, think Pink Floyd type music :)

28. Shine on you crazy Diamond

A sweet guy in a mental ward I was on once..named phil made a drawing of a cat with a diamond collar and he stuck it on the back of my door,with a very sweet note ..And he also slid out my paper name thingy in the holder under the room number by the door and wrote in " Shiny crazy diamond". I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

[Guaranteed]

34. Hey, the unraveling is good, then.

Don't worry, anarchy will ensue soon, and everyone can run around and do whatever they like.

Yay!

[zulchzulu]

2. In times like these, look for the "helpers"

There are many. Sometimes they are hard to find, but they are there. There is always a shining light in some human beings.

Take care and look for them. Or join in.

[ret5hd]

3. not just you...at least one more:me...

and like you, I can not say whether the feeling is "bad" or "good". But i do believe i am one of the hearty bunch. how about you?

[peekaloo]

5. No, it's not just you.

I am trying to be optimistic.

For some reason a line from 'Tora, Tora, Tora' has been stuck in my head today......"we have awakened a sleeping Giant".....the optimist in me wants to believe the country will wise up AND rise up against Bu$hCo as a result of this tragedy.

The pessimist in me says we are fucked.

[knowbody0]

6. i feel like the veil has been removed

and the illusion of our leader has been exposed. Hugging his dog, like a comfort blanket.

[natrat]

7. i had a premonition the other day

vague groaning pain very widespread. Didn't know hat it meant, just a very noticeable flash in the brain.

[undergroundpanther]

11. I have felt this my whole life

I have seen my own death when I was a kid. Existance in a world like this is trauma and the game of make believe the saying bad things are good,is denial So the games do not make it stop.We have to get honest about what hurts.

[hatrack]

9. The unraveling has been underway for some time now

It's just in the past 30 days or so (and particularly during the past five days) that the fiction has definitively cracked.

This administration is out of spin, this nation is out of patience and this society is out of excuses. We stand revealed as a nation that not only tolerates incompetence, laziness and self-righteous arrogance in our national leadership, but has chosen (questions of voting fraud aside) to positively endorse it by "giving" it another four years at the helm.

Well, the loan just got called. We have signed our souls on this particular political mortgage, and it's a balloon mortgage, and the wolf is at the door.

Time to pay.

13. It started the day the NeoCon Junta took control of the U. S. in Dec 2000.

[wli]

21. Since Gulf War I here. n/t

[Beam Me Up]

26. Oh, I think it is MUCH worse than that. This country has INTENTIONALLY

been gutted from the inside out by TRAITORS. This is not incompetence. Quite the contrary. The disaster unfolding in NO could soon be everywhere.

[Guaranteed]

35. Magnificent post. nt

[tridim]

10. I had the same feeling on 9/11

But it's about 10 times worse this time. I feel like throwing up.

I'm giving myself one more day of this helpless feeling and then I start getting strong. We're all going to need to thicken our skin for what's coming. It's going to be very difficult.

[Mr Rabble]

12. Ive been feeling this all week.

Maybe I need to get a grip.

[Carni]

15. No it is not just you

I started having the same feeling on Thursday night and by Sunday night when it was obvious to all that the doomsday scenario for NO was about to take place my feeling of dread, or discomfort, or whatever became intolerable.

It isn't just THIS horrendous disastor it's the larger picture.

I honestly think the asshole in chief has looted the treasury and all of our resources and that is why the federal response has been so lame.

Call me paranoid but that is what I think.

[ocd liberal]

17. me too

Ever since FL was hit by those 3 hurricanes around election time, I have felt like God (or whatever you want to call it) has been trying to send the U.S. a message. Now He really hit us where it hurts and is anyone listening? I know I am.

[Solly Mack]

20. I'm sorta in between numb and anxious

I'm feel as if I'm expecting something, just don't know what.

[CantGetFooledAgain]

22. kick (nt)

[all.of.me]

23. i just feel like something's gonna give.

like we're reaching the climax, the culmination. things have GOT to change.

[bbgrunt]

24. I feel it too

Krugman's book is titled "The Great Unraveling"....and now it is accelerating. I'm past rage. I'm at the point of total despair.

[friesianrider]

29. You and me both, friend.

I feel it too. Like something big is about to happen, but I'm not sure what, or whether it will be good or bad. Kinda spooky, that's for sure.

[SuniSurf]

30. Carni I agree with you on the Admin gutting the Treasury

I also think this is why they are SO desparate to get into the Social Security monies. Gut that too, and try to cover up some of their tracks.

[Guaranteed]

32. Yeah, that's society unraveling.

I don't like it either.

[deadparrot]

33. I feel it, too. All hell has broken loose. nt

[neverforget]

36. A coworker and I both feel that this is 9/11 all over again and we can't

shake that feeling of impending doom. I've had a pit in my stomach for 2 days now since I realized the exent of the devestation. Something is going to give.......

[SuniSurf]

37. Something else bothering me BIG TIME is this:

USA MILITARY CANCEL ALL LEAVE FROM SEPTEMBER.DRAFTREADY TO ACTIVATE
Submitted by robert on Sat, 2005-08-27 12:51. General Discussions
From T.ASCHER:Leland:
About 3 weeks ago was surfing some of the sites I enjoy posting on, when someone posted in all caps that they had just heard from an officer friend in the military that all leaves had been cancelled for the month of September. Obviously aware of the false flags our government is famous for, this person sounded desperate, asking for help in confirming or denying this "rumor" from anyone who had connections in the military.

I happened to ask a co-worker friend of mine whose son in-law is in the Army (82nd) about checking out the "rumor". Well guess what, they've had to move up their leave to this coming week to come home because his unit has to be back by September 7th. where upon all leaves are cancelled! They have seen a steady build up of heavy materials just sitting in storage facilities. He also commented that they were rushed through a training course on new weapons systems they just rolled out. He thought this very odd and a first.
This sent shivers all through me. Not to push any panic buttons I spoke with a dear woman with whom I work whose son is in the Army in an artillery unit. She is a former Captain, her husband is a former Colonel and Vietnam vet and successful attorney here in our area who also happens to be dying from the effects of Agent Orange. Lo and behold their son was told all leaves are cancelled for September and in December they may get leave, but can travel no further than 17 kilometers from their base. My niece is married to a young man in the Army stationed on the East Coast he is also 82nd, his leave has also been cancelled. Their first baby is due in December.
Leland, I'm not prone to fits of paranoia but I have to tell you, I have begun stocking water and canned goods. I am ex Air Force, I was on three ring standby most of my enlistment and was in a constant training mode. I know how this works and it doesn't sound good. The draft board offices are in place with staff waiting for the word to go. I read an article from a guy who works in one of those offices, he said Homeland Security came in there early last month and put up bullet proof glass on the windows and iron bars, they installed blast proof glass on the doors, and removed the mail drop box slots on the outside of the building.
When he asked what was going on they identified themselves as Homeland Security and said don't worry about the rest and left. It's coming no doubt about it. Sorry I can't be more positive, but this is what I have heard with my own ears from three independent military member sources in different parts of the country.
