Everyone has heard the crazy tales about Sept. 11, 2001. Various predictions, stories and conspiracies are littered all over the net. Today, I found my own.
For whatever reason, I decided to login to my LiveJournal account that I had forgotten about a solid 3-4 years earlier. I was going through my posts and found this one.. Dated Sept. 10, 2001 at 8:54 PM..
bad feelingIve had this bad feeling for about 2 days now. I dont know how to explain it
its just a bad feelilng. Like an emptiness in my stomach, that gives me the
chills. Im not sick or anything, just a feeling like something bad is gonna
happen. Oh well, have to wait and see.Weird thing happened today. The ARMY called me to get me to re-up. They
offered a bunch of stuff, but I am pretty sure they killed all chances of me
joining again by their lack of compasion for a family situation I had when
I was in AIT.
First, how creepy is it that I had that feeling. Second, how odd that the ARMY recruiter called me that day. I had already had my medical discharge and was eligible for re-inlistment with a doctors waver (I had hurt my knee while I was serving prior to this). The recruiter made a point to say "We need you. We need a lot of people right now. Some bad things are in the works". Disclosure: I am paraphrasing here, I don't remember his exact words but it was very similar to my quote. The gist of it was that the ARMY needed bodies to join up and previous experience was preferred. I wouldn't need to go through basic training or school again, just a few re-entry courses and off to a duty station. As it turned out, that station would have been Afghanistan and Iraq.
I had completely forgotten about this call until I found this old post today. I remember feeling like the government had to have known something in advance for this call to come in. I shrugged it off as coincidence and forgot about it.
Now I am not a huge conspiracy theorist, but I can't help but shake the feeling that the government knew it was happening and didn't stop it. It's crazy I know, but it's not impossible. I honestly believe the government (read: CIA) was behind, or involved, with the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995. What did I say about not being a huge conspiracy theorist? The reasoning behind letting the attacks occur? There are many motives and some are more far fetched then others. I won't get into that here because this post wasn't meant to bring all this up. Just a reminder about that eerie post I wrote to LiveJournal all those years ago.
