100.000 people to die at Olympics.....???

[Tony]

Yet another very stupid, fear mongering, childish, prediction that was total fantasy!
When are people on forums going to stop guessing and live in the real world?


I sometimes wonder if people just want their name in lights, and to have the recognition they think they deserve, and to be able to say... "LOOK I TOLD YOU SO!"

The moment you stop living in fantasy, is the moment you will live in reality.

It gives those that are border line of these topics, the ammunition to dismiss everything that is being talked about.

When we can empathise with how others may feel, we can then take more responsibility for our actions and reaction.
One our problems is saluting another who calls themselves..."Whistle blower!"

Remember the ripple effect.....you never know who is sticking their finger in the water and giving it a stir!

One always has to read the wording carefully, the difference creates a slightly different ripple.

[AMystic3434]

Its just as ridiculous as the one with the aliens coming in a mass landing at the olympics on 8/4. Yet people fall for it time and time again. Whats going to happen when 12/21/12 comes and nothing happens then people will just push it back. Ive already seen people pushing it back to 2016 now. Im starting to think what ever is going to happen will not happen in our life time, after all a new age can take 1 to 200 years to start to show its changes.

[bogeyman]

You are going to hear of all sorts of predictions in this day and age, it is the age of manipulation, lies, deceit, corruption, and confusion. I predict after President Obama, there will be another President, an America who will be involve with economics, politics and war...ummm let me see:rolleyes:

[DarMar]

Actually it is correct and i think even more than 100.000 died ...
... but from boredom :)

[The Truth Is In There]

it's called "wishful thinking". tons of people are waiting for doom and destruction with total disregard for life, their own and that of others. that's because they're dissatisfied with the state of the world and their own existence here on earth. doom creates excitement and removes boredom, at least for a while. i'm one of them. doom over the world! ;)

Well there is a thought to speculate about - with all the hundreds of channelings, whistle blowers, credible insider sources etc., it is very difficult to imagine it being completely arbitrary. If it is not for warning to prevent those things, then what?

What if "they" very well know that for a catastrophical circumstances to manifest, people need to participate in the creation of it by expecting it and they are counting on people, when hearing about a possible apocalyptic scenario, to develope an interest in it in the likes of:"what if I get to witness a train wreck from a far, history in the making, so to speak" and therefore subtly manipulate people into creating the very event?

OR they just wan´t to keep us talking, which is way more nasty.

I was rather bemused that the attacks this time around were targeted toward the British. Being American I've become rather accustomed to being singled out and told that something horrible is about decend upon my country. At one point, not long ago, someone started a thread entitled, "For Canadian Eyes Only". Within the thread they speculated that when the US dollar collapses the Canadian government would need to close the boarders and start chasing American refugees away.

Anyway, the Olympics are over and all in London is perfectly fine. I for one am grateful that the fear mongers didn't have their way.

[Hawkwind]

It seems to me that jakovesk started his thread regarding a possible false flag attack at the olympics because he had evidence that such a thing might be being planned. He shared his evidence with us because it seemed solid enough to warrant consideration. Bill did the same with his evidence that the elites may be planning to leave the planet. It seems to me that sharing such info is one of the principle purposes that this forum serves. Continually putting your energy into making snide remarks about what you perceive as other people's fantasies seems to me both counter-productive to the process of freeing your own mind from fantasy and disrespectful of other people. If and when I choose to contemplate my navel, I know where it is. When I want to get information about life on planet Earth which isn't available in the mainstream media, however, I come here.

[GK76]

As I said in the opening ceremony thread: It's about the profiteers, if anything were to happen it would be in the closing ceremony. The people pay for the games and get a legacy (to promote more Olympics in the future, a nice slap around the head there), and the profiteers... erm, profit hugely and advertise their poison to the masses.

Thankfully we only saw peaceful party with the usual arrogant elitist message saying "We still pull the strings". The NWO trundles on with more money in their back pocket and out of the people's wallets.

But the main message of this thread is aimed at the frivolous use of predictions (as if there is any other use for them), and the impact they have on the global (un)conscious. Hell, to be honest there is little defference between predictions based on intuition and warnings based on testimony. Neither come with adequate evidence, even the science it is based on is often purely theory. Oh look a thread about a 2016 ELE...

As a child I loved all things to do with the unknown (still do really), predictions are another way of triggering the chemical shot. As pointed out... it's time to think before reacting, as Jan Irvin states when talking of the trivium:

Ask the questions:

Who?
What?
Where?
When?
and then Why and how?

Don't just accept someone's word for it. If you find there is little to back up the claims, effectively you have accepted someone's illusions.

Argh look at me again... waffling away. :)

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence ...

Chances of events occurring is just that, chances not certainties. Anticipation is still a healthy thing.
When you put your seat belt on you don't expect (predict) to crash.

I think putting effort in prevention is still necessary. It reduces the chances of events happening.
So in hindsight everything can be called paranoia. But we can also celebrate that prevention worked ...

[CdnSirian]

"I have a prediction to make: the fact that it came to absolutely nothing at all won't phase a single soul. Ian Crane (a former oil industry executive, God save us all) is already taking credit for warding off the false flag attack on his Facebook page.

Alex Jones will simply bully, bluster and intimidate his way out of it all. The rest of the nutcases will carry on like something happened, because it's a constant apocalypse inside their heads." I read this and then started reading this thread.

This quote is from: http://secretsun.blogspot.com/2012/08/2012-olympics-fear-strikes-out-again.html "2012 Olympics: Fear Strikes Out. Again. " in reference to Ian Crane at Exopolitics Expo.

"But we can also celebrate that prevention worked ... "-Operator I don't see that any prevention was attended to. It wasn't necessary.

It's always good to have supplies at hand at any rate. It's like having insurance. You worry less, or pay no attention at all.

[Operator]

"But we can also celebrate that prevention worked ... "-Operator I don't see that any prevention was attended to. It wasn't necessary.


The fact that you (or the public) didn't notice anything doesn't mean nothing happened.

I have personal experience (other than Olympics) where situations got very serious and almost no soul learned a thing about it ...
Serious stuff happens everyday ... The general public only hears a very small percentage of it.
And what they hear is almost 100% twisted every time ... This situation is improving (and worsening at the same time).
Sorry, but don't get the illusion that we (the public) are well informed.

Understand the human mind. It is a mechanism that all humanity possesses.
Understanding one's own mind, and at the same moment, one understands all other minds in how they function.
Most are unable to sit still & be quiet.
Out of habit they are engaged in constant activity.
Without activity, one feels as though life will cease & death will result.

And, in a certain sense, this is true. A death of ego will occur.
Most identify with their ego.
Who will they be without ego?
The fear is they will no longer exist without it.

So, to keep the ego alive, to keep the mind moving & forever active - a drama is needed.
It becomes a habit... to constantly create dramas for oneself. If others are involved, then so much the better. One will not feel so lonely.

Most are not able to sit quiet & still, to enjoy the small things in one's own life. To enjoy the sound of the robin in the morning. To enjoy the brushing of one's own teeth at night... to feel the subtle beat of one's own heart, the rhythm of one's own breathing as the sound of ocean waves breaking on a sandy beach.
Most feel that a good drama is needed so they can feel more alive.
100,000 people to die at the Olympics - it makes for a good drama.

What you are feeling is the call of existence. Existence is calling you to come back home.
To come back to who you are, to come back to where you are.
To forget about dramas.
To just be. Be still & you will know.

I couldnt agree more :-)

And while we all look that way in the same city each night people starve, are cold and in need of assistance to help them selves but we are watching people run from point a to point b and whoever crosses a line first gets to be recognised as egocentrically superior.

There are obviously good points too, i see them but i just cant get my head around a government that throws so much money on trying to put on a show while the people of that same country rot in bad living conditions. Children and women that cant support themselves. And the pomp as the queen edifies her self as some james bond master made me violently ill. Talk about being detached. Their biggest saving grace in Lady Diana and look what they did to their own flesh of such an amazing woman.

The term "bread and circuses" came about for a reason... it was Not for anything positive.

Competitiveness and Cooperation are Opposites.

[Ultima Thule]

Competitiveness and Cooperation are Opposites.

Why?
I am now writing from sports perspective, as the olympics are, well a game of sports.
While two people are competing in a match they are also definitely co-operating. The winner is co-operating to help the loser to develope - even when exploiting the weaknesses of the loser, co-operation takes place to help the loser to see and recognize development potential and focus. At the same time the loser is co-operating with the winner also to develope - their development level may be very different, but to think that competition and co-operation are opposites is in my opinion not at all true - when considering sports. It can be seen as such, but I do ask to dig a bit deeper into the matter.

[CdnSirian]

Having thought about this more, I agree with Ulli that fear can inspire many to replace the fear with other feelings, as many do this daily anyway. A dire prediction can get a lot of this going.

It is true we do not know all that goes on behind the scenes, and if there were negative events that were handled quietly, or prevented, then the press were certainly under control and contributing to a happy event. Doesn't sound like the British press, but it could happen.

In an ideal world, the corporations that invest $xbillion into the Olympics would then match those funds from their profits, to charitable and/or education granting foundations. We're just not there yet.

I concur.

Competitiveness and Cooperation are in fact complements of each other, not opposites.
For example, I run a small transportation business. A single operator/owner. I cooperate with other small transportation single/own operator businesses. If you like, you can call it a cooperative. We each are competing with each other, but when there is more business than I can handle, then I call up one of my associates to do the service on that particular order. The only unwritten agreement that we each have is that we don't try to solicit each others' business patrons away from each other.
All in all, it is the best way to compete with the larger companies.

The same can be seen in nature. Something I noticed a couple of weeks ago.
Normally, Robins compete with each other when it comes to finding food (worms) & water.

I was driving out of the store parking lot and I witnessed a flock of Crows going after an injured Robin. There also was a flock of robins that were there trying to protect one of there own. I was a little surprised to see Crows going after something living, usually they are like low level Vultures, and only feed on road kill.

I brought my vehicle to a stop and witnessed one Crow trying to carry off with the Robin. As it was trying to get away, it wiggled free and dropped to the ground. I jumped out of the car and went to retrieve the robin. I brought it into the car and brought it back to my place where it could either heal itself or find a peaceful place & an undisturbed moment to die. Don't know what really ever happened to it.
To me, if it died, it was at least a much better peaceful way to go than being traumatized while being pecked to death.

Competition & Cooperation are complements of each other, not opposites.

I quite agree, Ulli. It links in with my thinking that we have a lot to thank Lucifer for. Had he not gotten proud he wouldn't have fallen. Had he not fallen, a 1/3 wouldn't have followed, and that age wouldn't have ended to begin our next phase of education. It is through the gift of being the bad guy that we learn how to love, how to understand mercy, joy, peace, kindness, and true light.

It's all part of our education, and therefore I can't hate those who fulfill the negative part of things for they all work to my good when I am in line with Divine principles.

[SKAWF]

on the one hand there are messages of doom and gloom......

and on the other, positive messages about ascension etc,

and a whole spectrum of other things in between.
i dont think its about making us scared or hopeful.
i think its all about keeping us looking at the external.

and distracted away from our inner selves

thats why i think there is a balance between positive and negative influences.
also......
the tone of the external influence, has an effect,
on the way we look at ourselves internally..

just as the way we view ourselves internally. has an effect upon the outside world.

i think, we should learn to be selective with the the idea's and concepts that we allow into our thinking.

they may on the surface appear to be words thoughts and idea's,
but they set energetic bombs off in our inner world.
and sometimes those bombs reverberate for quite a long time,
and while those reverberations continue,
they have an effect on our perception.

it would be quite easy to miss something that could be a good thing for us,
if we are still carrying around the negativity from something else.

Loved everything you said SKAWF and especially the voice in which you presented it, however, the above stood out for me.

As long as TPTB can keep us focused on external events, especially those in the future, they keep us from entering the power of the NOW moment and the strength of looking inward.

Some thoughts on Competition vs Cooperation:

From Wikipedia (which I don't necessarily attest to being the best 'authority', but it will do for this purpose)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competition
Competition in biology, ecology, and sociology, is a contest between organisms, animals, individuals, groups, etc., for territory, a niche, or a location of resources, for resources and goods, for prestige, recognition, awards, mates, or group or social status, for leadership; it is the opposite of cooperation.[1][2] It arises whenever at least two parties strive for a goal which cannot be shared or which is desired individually but not in sharing and cooperation. Competition occurs naturally between living organisms which co-exist in the same environment.[3] For example, animals compete over water supplies, food, mates, and other biological resources. Humans compete usually for food and mates, though when these needs are met deep rivalries often arise over the pursuit of wealth, prestige, and fame. Competition is also a major tenet in market economy and business is often associated with competition as most companies are in competition with at least one other firm over the same group of customers, and also competition inside a company is usually stimulated for meeting and reaching higher quality of services or products that the company produce or develop.

Competition can have both beneficial and detrimental effects. Many evolutionary biologists view inter-species and intra-species competition as the driving force of adaptation, and ultimately of evolution. However, some biologists, most famously Richard Dawkins, prefer to think of evolution in terms of competition between single genes, which have the welfare of the organism 'in mind' only insofar as that welfare furthers their own selfish drives for replication. Some social darwinists claim that competition also serves as a mechanism for determining the best-suited group; politically, economically and ecologically. Positively, competition may serve as a form of recreation or a challenge provided that it is non-hostile. On the negative side, competition can cause injury and loss to the organisms involved, and drain valuable resources and energy. In the human species competition can be expensive on many levels, not only in lives lost to war, physical injuries, and damaged psychological well beings, but also in the health effects from everyday civilian life caused by work stress, long work hours, abusive working relationships, and poor working conditions, that detract from the enjoyment of life, even as such competition results in financial gain for the owners.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperation
Cooperation or co-operation is the process of working or acting together. In its simplest form it involves things working in harmony, while in its more complicated forms, it can involve something as complex as the inner workings of a human being or even the social patterns of a nation. It is the opposite of working separately in competition. Cooperation can also be accomplished by computers, which can handle shared resources simultaneously, while sharing processor time.

Cooperation is the process by which the components of a system work together to achieve the global properties. In other words, individual components that appear to be “selfish” and independent work together to create a highly complex, greater-than-the-sum-of-its-parts system. Examples can be found all around us. The components in a cell work together to keep it living. Neurons create thought and consciousness, other cells work together and communicate to produce multicellular organisms. Organisms form food chains and ecosystems. People form families, tribes, cities and nations. Atoms cooperate in a simple way, by combining to make up molecules. Understanding the mechanisms that create cooperating agents in a system is one of the most important and least well understood phenomena in nature, though there has not been a lack of effort.
Individual action on behalf of a larger system may be coerced (forced), voluntary (freely chosen), or even unintentional, and consequently individuals and groups might act in concert even though they have almost nothing in common as regards interests or goals. Examples of that can be found in market trade, military wars, families, workplaces, schools and prisons, and more generally any institution or organization of which individuals are part (out of own choice, by law, or forced).
-------------------------------------

So, it can be seen that, while there are 'positives' in each definition, they must be put in context of human experience.

A group can 'cooperate' so as to destroy another group. This is what we see happening with 'tptb', in regards to the rest of Humanity. Is this Good, Positive behavior that enhances the well being of Humanity as a whole? You can take this down to the personal level. Is it 'better' to Compete with your family, friends and neighbors? Between towns? Between states? Between countries? Do you see where this is going? Where does it stop? Usually in WAR...

So, NO... Competition is Exactly the Mindset tptb WANT YOU TO HAVE.. to put a 'positive spin' on an Inherently Negative aspect of physical experience. The US vs THEM paradigm.

You are more than welcome to continue down this path, if that is your desire. Everyone has Free Will as deigned by the Creator.

I Will suggest that Gaia is quite tired of what humanity has done to Her, all in the name of Competing with each other. We either 'Grow Up', and Renounce the mindset of competition that tptb glorify and Want us to emulate, or move in the path of Cooperation, Humility, Peace, and Unity of Spirit, Living in Harmony with Nature and all that Gaia, and the Universe provides.

Competition is NOT EFFICIENT:

Last night I dreamt 6,000,000,000 to die in 2016.
