Dec. 28th???????

Just wondering.....a few days ago Dec.28 was being discussed with some trepidation and I was curious if there's any new info on possible gov't. actions (i.e. martial law, state of emergency..etc.) or was it a little disinformation meant to stir up the herd?

It was just a little juxtaposition to stir up the nerds.

It seems that December 28th, 1999 is just another of the "problem" dates that will bring us down to our knees.....the closer the date gets, the quieter the initial proponents of the date problems get.

In the end, it can be thrown in with all the Jan 1st 99, April 1st 99, April 9th 99, July 1st 99, Sept 9th 99 etc. hype and the reality was much less of a problem. Add to it the *expert* feelings of dates for major earthquakes and other natural disasters, the asteroids or comets that were destined to kill us all and all the Nostradamus crap and it has been a fun year! WHoops....forgot deadly sunspots and nukes and martial law and chemtrails........

If Dale Carnegie and positive thinking are at one end of the spectrum, this forum is certainly at the opposite end.......

Not that there's anything wrong with that!
