Skinz4Life12 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I feel dumb for posting this but my co worker just sent me a link to this article and has worked herself up into a panic. She's insisting that she is leaving the area a few days before October 1 to avoid a potentially catastrophic event for the DC area. I keep laughing at her and telling her to take off her tin foil hat but still figured I'd post this since this is all news to me. Has anyone else heard about this or is this information only getting through to the extremely paranoid? http://www.citywatchla.com/8br-hidden/5584-mysterious-fema-region-lll-alert-has-folks-on-edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Not sure, but if the GOP gets their way, the Fed govt will be shut down with the new FFY on October 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinz4Life12 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Tin foil hat crew at work again. That was/is my immediate reaction. My coworker told me she knows someone in the military who is stationed in Puerto Rico and was transferred up to one of the bases in NoVA specifically for this event and he is reporting there are bringing in hundreds of empty coffins at a time. Sounds like bs to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Not to be insulting, but it is paranoid and stupid and wrong. The internet allows the most gullible of us to scream chicken little like this. Don't buy into it, and try to help your friends and family keep their perspective. First, I'd like to thank this 76 year old long retired local South Dakota state legislator for his brilliant detective work. Surely a man such as that has inside access to all of the workings of the federal security apparatus. 2 minutes of googling, avoiding the usual paranoid sites, reveals the following: 1) The "warnings" were posted on an anonymous internet message board by someone who called themselves "CyberWarrior." Songstad just recieved them in a fwd:ffwd:fwd email chain, and he sent it along. Suddenly people think someone "official" is behind this. 2) The facts are wrong. MERS is considered serious but not THAT serious, the WHO didn't order that a vaccine be ready by October 1, and in fact, there currently is no MERS vaccine at all, much less one that can be made ready in just a couple of weeks. 3) Viruses don't respond to antibiotics. This is dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corcaigh Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 October 1 eh? That sounds really sinister. it couldn't be that the Federal government routinely has a bunch of contracts which have delivery clauses by the end of their Fiscal Year? In other news, flowers are cheaper on February 15 than in the week before and many retailers have sales after December 25. There's evidence of conspiracy and collusion everywhere.

HOF44 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Looks like this might be where its coming from. Yeah they got this down to Oct. 1, that''s just how good we are at predicting seismic events. Massive US East Coast Disaster Warned Near AsDolphin Deaths Explode A chilling new report prepared for President Putin by the Ministry ofEmergency Situations (EMERCOM) ontop-secret NSA intelligence documents obtained by the Federal Security Services(FSB) from heroic whistleblower Edward Snowden revealsthat US Federal officials in the area of the United States designated as FEMA Region III [Washington D.C., Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania,Virginia, West Virginia] are “quietlypreparing” for what these documents state is an “imminent catastrophic threat” related to a previously unknownfault zone many scientific experts fear could see this area being destroyed byvolcanic, earthquake and massive tsunamis as early as this coming October.

Here it is debunked in 2012, after Jesse Ventura and Alex Jones spread a version of the same rumor. http://www.metabunk.org/threads/debunked-fema-coffins-plastic-grave-liners.904/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a friend send me this BS. I told her that they were probably just replenishing supplies used during Hurricane Sandy and other disasters, using Federal end of year money. Fiscal year ends Sept. 30th, so contracting shops are busy spending money for all sorts of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then tell her if she isn't on one of the specially designated boats, the US Military has been authorized to sink any other boat. Feel free to elaborate further.

grhqofb5 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Top five signs telling you to leave town before October 1: (1) Local police, fire, and rescue workers are all issued new sets of Kevlar gloves without explanation. (2) City workers are observed cleaning and polishing air raid sirens. (3) Everyone's dog runs away on September 30. (4) At 10:00pm on September 30, after playing a round of golf in Brazil, Barack Obama announces from the clubhouse that Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin are visiting the Whitehouse for dinner on October 1 at 8:00am. He is then seen going up to his hotel room for bed. (5) Bill Clinton informs Hillary that he wants to renew their wedding vowels at 6:00a.m., October 1, in front of the Lincoln Memorial. These are the types of signs you need to look out for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
