So, a little bird tells me 6/7/06 is the date for the nuke war on Iran.

[benburch]

Actually several little birds all cheeped in with the same information. (Funny, no, that Ann Coulter's book is released the day before?)

Do you think it's likely?

I do.

The same little bird tells me that there will be a MAJOR crackdown on dissent near that date. Not on terrorism. On freedom of speech.

Do you think it's likely?

I do.

Do you intend to shut up to save your skin?

I don't.

Let them kill me first, if that is what is going to happen, because I wouldn't want to live in a world like that.

[blm]

1. Why, was 6-6-6 just too obvious, even for them?

,

[NewWaveChick1981]

14. It's even more appropriate that Ann Coulter's book

is being released on 6-6-6. Mark of the beast, eh??? LOL :rofl:

[Duer 157099]

43. AND it's said to be "the number of a man"

[nonconformist]

76. My thoughts exactly! nt

[Freddie Stubbs]

85. Does she ctually have a book scheduled to come out on that date?

:shrug:

[glitch]

16. Damn, that is what I was going to say. nt

[yodermon]

44. actually

the # of the beast was recently determined to be 616 in older NT manuscripts:
http://www.beliefnet.com/story/166/story_16630_1.html

so, june 1st, people! (or: what happened on 6 January??? nice thing about 6-6-6 that there is no date ambiguity, oh well)

[nonconformist]

75. Ack! June 1st is my birthday! nt

[Freddie Stubbs]

78. Same day as Alanis Morissette

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alanis_Morissette

[Horse with no Name]

107. That was the day my Dad died n/t

[JesterCS]

71. 6-6-6

is when The Omen comes out

[Freddie Stubbs]

81. Perhaps Tuesday is bowling night

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

114. June 6th D-Day

that day in history is reserved.

if junior does sttack iran, it will be when karl rove is indicted.

[Duer 157099]

2. Huh. You'd think they'd really go for the 6/6/6 date though

Or, maybe this is their clever way of distancing themselves from that imagery.

[BR_Parkway]

28. On the international timeline, 6/7 one place could be 6/6 in another

which might give them a way to 'prove' to their wingnut base that Iran is actually the AntiChrist

[ComerPerro]

98. LOL, the Left-Behinders and Talibornagains would really eat it up

[katty]

3. i heard around that date as well-and perhaps some

other events before the end of April 06

[Freddie Stubbs]

79. From a realiable source?

:shrug:

[mdmc]

4. thanks for the heads up

peace and low stress

[MuseRider]

5. Hmmm

I don't have a clue but I do not intend to shut up. It is too late now anyway but shut up? Me? LOL, I know quite a few people over the years that would have appreciated that.

[Midlodemocrat]

6. I hope to God you are wrong, benburch.

[benburch]

7. Me too.

I very much hope I am wrong.

[Bonobo]

8. That's my 40th birthday! No! It's bad enough!

[etherealtruth]

21. I am hoping and praying you have a wonderful birthday!!!

[sable302]

41. it's my wedding anniversary

n/t

[libhill]

116. Mine also -

yikes -

[Renegade Six]

51. my 30th

[Horse with no Name]

109. Gee lucky you

I found out my 17 year old daughter was pregnant on my 40th birthday.
Kind of rounded it out really nicely dontcha think?

[babylonsister]

9. But...but... I just heard dimson say it's only "wild speculation".

Who ya gonna trust? ;)

[benburch]

58. For once, I hope he is telling the truth.

That would be refreshing.

[etherealtruth]

10. I hope you are wrong ....

I pray you are wrong ...

Sadly, in my heart ...

I believe you are correct.

[Mythsaje]

11. 676...the NEIGHBOR of the beast...

I'd say it's long past the point where they could get away with stifling dissent. All they'd do is breed more dissent.

Their goose is cooked.

[soleft]

24. LOL

[LilyLibber]

26. 6" x 6" x 6": the LUMBER of the beast

6-by-6-by-6: the LUMBER of the beast...because both Mann Coulter (or Ann Poultry, if you prefer) and Dumbya's heads are impenetrable blocks of wood.

I don't think this'll fly with the increasing number of people waking up and fighting back. Regardless, it canNOT come to pass.

[benburch]

32. How would we stop him?

He has the nuclear "football".

[Mythsaje]

42. Squashing dissent here really isn't an option...

They may THINK it is, but they also thought they could pacify Iraq.

[indigo32]

12. F@*&%^#( SH(#$)#@

they really are insane aren't they.

[mattclearing]

13. You believe your sources?

What does your gut tell you?

[benburch]

18. I believe that my sources believe it.

My gut? Roiling.

I believe that this treasonous cabal is capable on ANYTHING.

If you told me there were serving Iraqi Babies for dinner in the White House, I'd have at least a moment where I would think you might be right.

[mattclearing]

23. My gut doesn't like the sound of it, I'll tell you that.

Ugh.

[Freddie Stubbs]

80. Lots of DUers believed that the draft would be reinstated in 2005

Do these people have some inside knowledge which makes them credible?

[AndyA]

15. Does Congress have to approve of war with Iran, or not?

I keep hearing differing opinions. I've been told that any attack on Iran must be approved first, while others believe Bush has given himself the authority to do it without anyone else's approval.

Anyone know for certain?

[benburch]

19. Technically yes.

Practically no.

He can do whatever he pleases now.

[leftchick]

22. no

both condi and bush have said they don't need no stinkin congress for the next war.

[flyarm]

30. condi has said it outright..* does not need any further authority..he

thinks he already has it!

she boldly stated that...

god i feel sick...

but i will not be shut up either..

i will not be part of these new nazi's...i will stand tall and i will fight till my last breath!



these murderers need to be stopped,.,

and we must all stop them!

fly

[mconvente]

103. We need to RISE UP

Then maybe, maybe some nations will have enough pity on the good people of America to save us from these Nazis... I hope so...

[Freddie Stubbs]

115. Not according to a law passed by Congress:

http://www.cs.indiana.edu/statecraft/warpow.html

[AndyA]

17. benburch, I really do hope you're wrong about this,

but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it happened. Bush is very much mentally disturbed, and I believe unfit for office due to health reasons.

[Sammy Pepys]

20. I volunteer to bump this thread on 6/7....n/t

....

[benburch]

25. I hope I'm around to eat crow. nt

[Sammy Pepys]

37. Where would you go? n/t

....

[benburch]

56. If we start a nuclear war...

no telling what would then transpire. I don't think it will be a neat and surgical as Bush obviously does!

[rockymountaindem]

27. I'll believe it when I see it

Honestly, I don't think the US public is going to support that now, not that they ever would have. But, I think the time when we would have seen the most support for something so extreme has long past. I don't think it would be wise of Bush to start a new war when the current one is thought of as a mistake by most people.

[benburch]

31. Why does Bush need our support?

Educate me?

[rockymountaindem]

36. Because everything is political

Starting yet another war would be political suicide. I know everybody's going to bust out an argument about voting fraud, but Diebold machines aren't everywhere and you can't steal the election when it's glaringly obvious everyone hates you (as it would be if we nuke Iran or anybody else). This isn't just about Presidential elections, where a little vote fraud in one state can get you a long way... I'm talking about the House and the Senate not just now but for years to come.

They might be evil, but they're not dumb.

[catmandu57]

61. If Ben is correct, I don't think they are worried about politics

There would be a serious lockdown going on, we wouldn't have a clue as to what was happening, no computer, no news, we would be blind, deaf, and dumb, while georgie* put the crown on his head and declared himself emperor for life.

[TriMetFan]

29. well I guess Pope John Paul was right!

Bush is the anti-Christ. I will not shut up and I will fight to the death.

[libhill]

117. But but but -

that thar man cain't be the Anti-Christ critter - he done talks to Jaysus, an' we all knows he's a Gawd fearin' man... must be more ah that pinko libral propagander -

[troubleinwinter]

33. Can we hope for 'Sir, NO sir!' ?

[benburch]

54. I very much doubt it.

Now would be the time for other Nations to apply the screws on Bush, diplomatically.

[MikeDuffy]

34. Is this all coming from one source, or can you tell

if there is more than one independent source?

[benburch]

59. More than one.

No idea whatsoever if they are reporting the same source though.

[Freddie Stubbs]

88. Are thier sources from inside the government?

:shrug:

[paparush]

35. Kick

[SixStrings]

38. Remember 'Seventhson'? let's not be made the fool again.

Sure, I don't post much. Sure, I lurked for years before joining - but I can smell BS when I see it. This is BS. Stop the fear mongering. If you have a credible, reliable source by all means post it. All this cloak & dagger shit is unnecessary

[mattclearing]

47. Defensive much? n/t

[seemslikeadream]

49. odd statement

:shrug:

[benburch]

57. If I could post my sources, I would.

None of them have given permission for that. Believe or not, up to you.

[PaDem]

39. Everyone relax please.................

Fearless leader knows what's best for us hopeless dolts. We should always support our dear leader in a time of war.

[meganmonkey]

40. I'm not shutting up

I am going to NYC in a few weeks, and I will continue my (almost) daily demonstrations at home.

They can lock me up, I won't shut up.

:patriot:

[TexasLawyer]

73. great attitude

I'll see you in jail, 'cause I'm not shutting up either.

[Duer 157099]

45. Is it true that China and Russia have a defense treaty with Iran?

Wouldn't that provide for some, er, dissincentive to Bush? He's buddy buddy with the Chinese especially these days, after all didn't he just approve a no-bid contract to one of their port companies to watch for nukes in cargo?

Sounds like Bush is blustering as much as those in Iran. Two mad dogs barking at each other.

[OzarkDem]

93. Wonder what he's bartering away?

Our democratic government, wealth and future prosperity in exchange for cooperation with his next illegal invasion?

Look how much of our wealth he's already bartered away for Iraq - a quick glance at our national debt will show you the price tag for all those missing billions in cash sent to Iraq.

[libhill]

120. Not missing -

I'm sure they are safely tucked away in Halliburton coffers...

[Virginia Dare]

46. Hmmmm, I wonder....

does the crackdown include a false flag attack here in the US?

and BTW, nope, they won't shut me up.

55. Nice.

First, I don't make things up.

Second, though I cannot know how credible these sources are, the fact that the same information came from more than one gives me just a little more faith in it.

Third, when you run a media outlet, people tell you stuff. A lot of it is bogus. Some small bits of it are true. Sy Hersh's disclosures and this information together gives me more than a suspicion that it might be true.

Fourth, I've been wrong before, and I hope I'm wrong now.

Fifth, I don't insult what you post. Why do you think it is OK to insult me personally for what I post?

[troubleinwinter]

63. Ya know,

OP never claimed to have 'sources so inside that he knows the exact date'. He said he had heard this from some sources and asked what we thought. He never screamed that the sky is falling, or that they were impeccable sources.

Those of us who know ben know of his many associates... people with sources... whether those sources are accurate or inaccurate, we don't know, and he does not claim to know either. An interesting question was posed in the OP, that if it were to happen, would you be quiet?

To accuse fear mongering is ridiculous, as the post wasn't much different from Sy Hersch or a whole bunch of articles all over the boards for days. "Cloak and Dagger"?! Because his sources say this? I suppose you regard much of what is said on DU as "Cloak and Dagger", then, just because it hasn't been PROVEN beyond a doubt yet?

OP has credibility with a great portion of DUers, and his post did not represent that he had any further info than that it was what he was told. Take it or leave it, without the disparaging remarks.

[rd_kent]

82. Agreed!

Who is the poster, anyway? And if He had that info, dont you think other people, with a bit more influence would also have it? And to say "a little birdie told me" in an anonymous post is just a bit irresponsible.

[pitohui]

91. thank you cali

i'm tired of people using DU to promote fear

let's leave this type of behavior to the terra alert crowd

[Renegade Six]

50. 06/07 will be my 30th birthday.

I would like candles not mushroom clouds please

[Freddie Stubbs]

110. You have the same birthday as Prince!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_%28artist%29

[newspeak]

123. well, I feel sorry for you if they do bomb on your B-day

cause they started bombing Iraq on my Birthday--and it wasn't a happy B-day after that. And every B-day since then, I think about when they started bombing, watching it on TV at the Pizza Parlor, leaving with tears in my eyes. It was the night of 03/19, but 03/20 in Iraq. I'll never forget.:cry:

[DuaneBidoux]

52. I'd be happy to bet a large sum of money on the other side if you're...

interested. I still at this point do not believe they would ever unleash nukes on the Middle East--it is economic suicide.

[Beelzebud]

53. Well if that happens, I'll be following Thomas Jefferson's guidlines.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." --Thomas Jefferson

[Xenotime]

I weep that * doesn't destroy us but I know he will.

[spuddonna]

62. What's sad is my brother and I talked about this as a horrible joke...

We got that email about the date time thing last week - "On April 5th, 2006 at 1:02:03 it's 4/5/6 1.2.3, blah blah blah..." We were joking about how that was happening during our birthday week (his is Apr 5th and I'm Apr 7, a yr apart) but that we were glad we didn't have a birthday on Jun 6 this year.

Now, with the Hersch article out, I wouldn't put it past these idiots to do something with 'religious significance' to hurry along their rapture...

It's sad and it's sick... and I hope you are wrong benburch, but I won't be surprised... Peace.

[SmokingJacket]

64. Hm. Ben, you have a lot of cred here...

and I, for one, listen to what you say more carefully than I do the average poster. I trust that you're not just flapping your lips.

If what you say is true, then next couple of months will show a ramp-up in anti-Iran rhetoric.

Well... I hope you're wrong!

[benburch]

65. I really hope I am wrong.

I can only report what people tell me, though, as I have no privileged position to know this information first hand.

But this all fits in what we have been hearing for months now, and with recent disclosures, so I have more faith in it than just hearsay. And I hope that by telling people what I have heard I can get somebody, somewhere to take necessary actions that might avert this war.

[Rainscents]

66. Little Birdie told me, it's going to be on 06/06/06!

[Cleita]

77. Did you notice your post is #66?

:wow:

[StellaBlue]

67. $0.02

[LeaveIraqNow]

68. Wasn't June 05 when the draft was supposed to be reinstated?

These predictions are BS 100% of the time.

[nadinbrzezinski]

72. I guess some people will learn

when it finally happens.... by the way, these predictions were common in places like oh Poland during the Communist regime... they have a name... politicial microclimate'

There is more, thsi is quickly shifting away from the boy in charge and THEY KNOW that war will bring the rallying effect of the sheeple.

[Freddie Stubbs]

69. Did your 'little bird' indicate the nature of the crackdown on

freedom of speech?

[converted_democrat]

70. And so it begins- Iran Reaches Key Step in Nuclear Process

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060411/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iran_nuclear

Iran Reaches Key Step in Nuclear Process

snip-
"TEHRAN, Iran -Iran has successfully enriched uranium for the first time, a major development in its fuel cycle technology, news agencies quoted former President Hashemi Rafsanjani as saying Tuesday.

Current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad added that Iran "will soon join the club of countries with nuclear technology."

The U.N. Security Council has demanded that Iran stop all uranium enrichment activity by April 28. Iran has rejected the demand, saying it has a right to develop the process."

Edited for clarity..

[TrogL]

74. Is that June 7th or July 6th

Personally I use YYYY/MM/DD.

[mdmc]

83. I think it will be a day earlier 6-6-06

but I don't have Ben's sources.

[mdmc]

89. yikes

[lonestarnot]

104. 666

[moc]

84. We'll be out of the country on that date.

Maybe we won't come back.

:scared:

[LSK]

86. maybe the little birdie means the Nevada test on June 2?

[Freddie Stubbs]

113. Nevada is pretty far away from Iran

[newportdadde]

87. I'll bump this on 6/8/06 when nothing has happened.

[pitohui]

90. what's wrong w. people

my little bird who sings from the top of my roof told me the other day that he was a blue jay and when i looked him dead in the eye and said no he wasn't he then tried to say he was a cardinal and when that didn't work he tried pine warbler

he is just a mockingbird repeating what he has heard, i can see his beak move when he says it

stop spreading rumors

stop spreading hysteria

if you really want to give people courage to stand for what they believe, it's pretty simple really -- stop spreading rumors

if you just want to bloviate abt how you stood up to the threat of nuclear way by spreading rumors, well, fine, it's abt feeling good abt yourself, it isn't abt effective action

but if you want to be effective at giving people heart stop spreading rumors!

[OzarkDem]

92. I'm hearing something similar

In addition we may hear something from some Dems next week. Some of them seem to know what's up, particularly when it comes to US troops already in Iran.

[Freddie Stubbs]

97. Are you hearing it from someone inside the government?

:shrug:

[peacetalksforall]

94. I thought June 7 was the bombing date in Nevada - to calibrate or

something like that.

[Blue_Tires]

95. i sure hope your sources are just playing with you

[Nightflurry]

96. Ironically I've had a trip to Canada planned for the week after

June 11-19. Hopefully the borders won't close if something happens, my trip is VERY important to me since I'm going to meet my mom for the first time.

[Little Star]

99. What? 6-6- 6- is not good enough for them? n/t

[tenshi816]

100. How are they planning to crack down

on freedom of speech in countries where GWB isn't "in charge"? No matter what they try in the US, it's not going to fly anywhere else.

[DrGonzoLives]

101. Uh-huh

Methinks some people here actively WANT this to happen so that they can be victims and martyrs.

The truth is, if there were a crackdown, do you really think details of it would magically be leaked? And do you really think those details would be right?

[TheWatcher]

105. Please don't use the word "Think" when you post something like this

Because obviously that is precisely what you DIDN'T do, otherwise you wouldn't have posted something so foolish.

Nobody wants this to happen.

Now, try THINKING again.

[DrGonzoLives]

106. You can THINK however you want

I've done my own THINKING and OBSERVING since I signed up in April 2001.

[deaniac21]

108. I'm very afraid.

[MoonRiver]

102. We'll be out of the country!

Please, noooo! :scared:

[Radio_Guy]

111. Ben, no offense, but I hope your sources are solid

Not that I want this to happen, I don't. But enough freepers are laughing at us because someone posted the exact date there was going to be a draft last year, and the exact date the US was going to invade Iran last year. Neither happened. I don't want us to become a laughingstock because of posts like yours. DU is highly respected. I'd like to keep it that way.

[Yollam]

112. I hope his sources are full of shit.

DU's reputation, no matter what that may be, is NOT worth the lives of thousands or millions. I hope fervently that Ben is wrong. Anyway, anyone that is stocking up on foodstuffs in their underground shelter based on Ben's "little birdies" is off their rocker. And I say that with the utmost respect and gratitude to Ben, not the least for the Malloy downloads I partake of when I'm up to it.

If Bush really did start a nuke shooting war in Iran, the one bright spot might be that it would put an end to the rest of the world's silence in response to the US's wanton aggression against weaker nations.

Either way, I'm glad I am no longer a resident of what was once the United States.

[BooScout]

118. Good god.......

Did you even read what you wrote before you hit the 'post' button???

[PRETZEL]

119. Personally I think the date is irrelevant,

although that's not to say that this is/isn't a realistic date. If there is a degree of truth then I would think that the rhetoric coming out of the UN over the this and specifically the SC (namely China) will be sending a rather harshly worded message to this admin about the ramifications of this.

[mdmc]

121. God, I'm ready! Bring on the RAPTURE !!!

if death comes this easy, i'll gladly except it. live free or die

I'll pray for peace.

[Der Blaue Engel]

122. That's the day I leave for Russia

I really hope you're wrong. :( And not just because of my trip, of course! But, boy, it would suck to be on a plane to Russia on the day that Bush starts WWIII. :scared:

[Moderator]

124. locking...

there is no reason to alarm
