Ah - yes. It is about the date. Just as with the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
The nuclear destruction of the Seattle area would be on a day that formed a similar pattern.

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 09/06/08 8:34 AM
Several weeks ago I was having a series of random thoughts and now I am wondering today why I was thinking about those details. I was imagining that Mike Mullen had ordered this area destroyed with nuclear bombs and 3 bombs were going to be dropped from ballistic missiles over the downtown Seattle area, the Bellevue city and then someplace a few miles south of here in perhaps the Kent area.
JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 09/06/08 8:37 AM
As I imagined those series of events, I imagined that he had created a series of numbers that would be written onto the actual bombs and he would be the only person that would know the full combination of numbers for those three bombs.
Somehow in those random thoughts, I was supposed to read those numbers off the bombs before detonation and then write them down somewhere. One possible approach was simply that I wrote it in a letter and mailed it to the Pentagon.
JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 09/06/08 8:40 AM
A woman whose photo I have seen on the internet was going to pick me up in a car and drive me to the location of each bomb so I could write down the numbers.
JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 09/06/08 8:41 AM
One notion that I ponder is whether Mullen has long been suspected as a traitor and seeing him in photos in the news triggered those memories in my mind and that I had heard that he might be complicit in such future acts of domestic terrorism.
JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 09/06/08 8:43 AM
I don't know who that woman that was driving me around but I have started wondering whether that aspect of me writing down the numbers from the bombs has a different meaning than is obvious, such as I was going to be the one blamed for the destruction.
JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 09/06/08 8:44 AM
Ah - yes. It is about the date. Just as with the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
The nuclear destruction of the Seattle area would be on a day that formed a similar pattern.
JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 09/06/08 8:45 AM
I just remembered again that dream I had in Feb. 2004 about nuclear bombs destroying Seattle.
In that dream, I saw 2 mushroom clouds rising above Seattle and I guess I was in the Bellevue or Redmond area when I saw it.
I did not seem to be in any danger personally from the destruction but I could not understand why no one else was concerned.
JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 09/06/08 8:48 AM
I cannot remember now if during the dream the people around me were still in motion or if it seemed that time had suddenly stopped in such a manner as I have described with that notion of hyper-reality.
JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 09/06/08 8:50 AM
I do remember that I had that nightmare around that time in Feb. 2004 about how the alarm clock in my bedroom had seemed to stop and that I was terrified because I could not understand why time had stopped.
In these latest series of thoughts, there is a similar notion and that was how I was able to write down the numbers from the bombs while not being incenerated myself by the blasts.
The dream with the alarm clock was disconnected from all that though and it just seemed to be a nightmare about how time had stopped.
The dream about the bombs back then was disturbing mostly because I could not understand why no one else was concerned.
JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 09/06/08 8:54 AM
But even before that I had a series of thoughts about a nuclear bomb destroying the capital city of every state in the U.S. I don't remember when I was thinking about that but it was several years ago. It just seemed like a concern that had randomly risen into my conscious awareness. I thought more about it after I watched a few episodes of the "Jericho" television series.

(And we're back on land. Caption: Riverwalk Market, Caprica City. It's crowded with people and we see the blonde woman (Number Six) from the first scene. She touches some flowers, eyes some drinks, finally stops and looks down at a baby in a carriage. The baby's mother walks over, touches the carriage protectively.)
Six: How small they are.
Mom: I know. But they grow up so fast.
Six: May I?
Mom: (smiling, but a little uncomfortable) Sure. (She picks up the baby and hands her to Number Six. The baby starts crying.)
Six: So light. So fragile. Shhhh. (She touches the baby's face.) There, there. It's okay. You're not gonna have to cry much longer.
Mom: We really should be going. (Takes the baby back.)
Six: Of course. (The woman puts the baby back in the carriage.) It's amazing how the neck can support that much weight.
Man in the crowd: Chantara! Honey, let's go! (waves at the woman - she moves off to talk to him) I've got to show you something.
Mom: Okay! (They talk at each other in the background. Six leans down, and there's a quiet snapping noise. When the woman turns back around, she's walking away in the distance. The woman leans down to check on the baby.) Oh my god. He's not breathing! He's not breathing!

The Thief of Bagdad (1940 film)
The Thief of Bagdad is a 1940 British fantasy film produced by Alexander Korda, and directed by Michael Powell, Ludwig Berger, and Tim Whelan
Ahmad (John Justin), the naive King of Bagdad, is convinced by his evil Grand Vizier, Jaffar (Conrad Veidt), to go out into the city disguised as a poor man to get to know his subjects (in the manner of his grandfather Harun al-Rashid). Jaffar then has Ahmad thrown into a dungeon, where he is joined by Abu the thief (Sabu), son of Abu the thief, grandson of Abu the thief. Abu arranges their escape.
They flee to Basra, where Ahmad becomes acquainted with its Princess (June Duprez). However, Jaffar also journeys to Basra, for he desires the Princess. Her father, the Sultan (Miles Malleson), is fascinated by the magical mechanical flying horse Jaffar offers and agrees to the proposed marriage. Upon hearing the news, the Princess, by now deeply in love with Ahmad, runs away. Confronted by Ahmad, Jaffar magically blinds him and turns Abu into a dog; the spell can only be broken if Jaffar holds the Princess in his arms.
The Princess is eventually captured (but not recognized) and sold in the slave market. She is bought secretly by Jaffar and taken to his mansion, but falls into a deep sleep from which he cannot rouse her. Ahmad is tricked by Jaffar's servant Halima (Mary Morris) into awaking the Princess. Halima then lures the Princess onto Jaffar's ship by telling her that there is a doctor aboard who can cure Ahmad's blindness. The ship immediately sets sail. Jaffar informs the Princess about the spell; she allows herself to be embraced, whereupon Ahmad's sight is restored and Abu is returned to human form. They chase after the ship in a small boat, but Jaffar conjures up a storm to shipwreck them.
Abu wakes up alone on a deserted beach and finds a bottle. When he opens it, an enormous djinn or genie (Rex Ingram) appears.

War with Iraq / Initial Assault
US Attacks Iraq
War to Oust Hussein Begins With Airstrikes
March 20, 2003|John Daniszewski and Edwin Chen | Times Staff Writers
The United States launched a thundering bomb and missile attack on Baghdad at dawn today, targeting senior government leaders in what could become all-out war to drive Saddam Hussein from power and disarm Iraq.
Air raid sirens blared, and yellow-and-white tracers from Iraqi antiaircraft fire streaked across the city. Several large explosions rocked the capital, and a ball of fire flared in the southern sky. As the sun rose higher, street lights flickered out and the city fell into a ghostly silence.
"The opening stages of the disarmament of the Iraqi regime have begun," White House spokesman Ari Fleischer declared shortly after 9:30 p.m. Wednesday in Washington, or 5:30 a.m. in Baghdad. Forty-five minutes later, President Bush told the American people that he had ordered coalition forces to strike "selected targets of military importance" in Iraq.

Address to the Nation on Iraq
March 19, 2003
My fellow citizens, at this hour, American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people, and to defend the world from grave danger.
On my orders, coalition forces have begun striking selected targets of military importance to undermine Saddam Hussein's ability to wage war. These are opening stages of what will be a broad and concerted campaign.
Note: The President spoke at 10:16 p.m. from the Oval Office at the White House.

Kay McFadden / Times staff columnist
The media got it fast, got it right
It may not have been the "shock-and-awe" show promised by United States forces poised to invade Iraq.
But to anyone watching television, the swiftness with which yesterday's airstrike in Baghdad was executed, disseminated and explained was a heck of a dress rehearsal.
The White House and news organizations worked in well-oiled tandem. The time elapsed from when the bombing run took place to when anchors were correctly summarizing it — barely a half-hour — gave new meaning to the concept of a fast news cycle.
News that air-raid sirens were sounding over Baghdad broke at 6:37 p.m. Pacific Standard Time and 5:37 a.m. in Iraq.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_propaganda
Nazi propaganda
Propaganda, the coordinated attempt to influence public opinion through the use of media, was skillfully used by the Nazi Party in the years leading up to and during Adolf Hitler's leadership of Germany (1933–1945). Nazi propaganda provided a crucial instrument for acquiring and maintaining power, and for the implementation of their policies, including the pursuit of total war and the extermination of millions of people in the Holocaust.
