Monday 6-28-04

330AM



Ok...So here I am a few hours ago, watching TV and browsing the web and I feel this weird sensation, like when u get slightly dizzy when u feel lightheaded, and think I am hearing a weird kind of noise, like a moaning sound or something. Too much looking at the computer screen the last few hours probably......



So, I get up to look around the apt and cant figure it out. Thought maybe Scrappy was into something again...Like she always is. Go back to browsing the web..When all of a sudden just a few minutes ago (330am), I come across this in the Milwaukee Journal sentinel Online: (Thank god.....For a minute I thought I was nuts)



Did anyone else feel anything???

Magnitude 4.5 Earthquake Strikes Midwest



CHICAGO (AP) -- A brief earthquake struck the Midwest early Monday, rattling windows and awakening sleeping residents from Wisconsin south to Missouri and from Indiana west to Iowa.



No injuries were immediately reported from the quake, which occurred about 1:11 a.m. CDT. It was centered about 7 miles east of Troy Grove and 71 miles west of Chicago, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.



Brian Lassige, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Colorado, said the quake was magnitude 4.5, and its epicenter was about eight miles northwest of Ottawa in northern Illinois.



Initial reports indicated no major damage from the temblor, although police agencies and radio stations within the quake area were inundated with telephone calls.



Reports of the shaking came from at least as far east as Valparaiso, Ind., and as far west as the Quad Cities, and from Wisconsin in the north to the St. Louis area in the south.

Iraq Self Rule????



We (the U.S. Goverment) have finally handed over rule of Iraq to it's own people. This happened a few hours ago, as I was watching the News (June 28, 2004), two days ahead of schedule. Isn't it funny that they decided to do this at exactly the same time that our president is over in that area of the world.



Some may believe that this "handover of power" is above board and exactly what it is supposed to mean (self rule of a people of their own country), but I don't believe that for a second.



I think it is just another "ploy" our wonderful government is using as part of it's ONGOING campaign to "rule the world" with other like minded nations (such as Britain and the European Union) that has been in the works for many many years. There is just too much credible information out there to NOT think that there are "ulterior motives" for our government to have started this whole thing in the first place.



I firmly believe that our government invaded Iraq, toppled its government, and in the process, installed it's own "puppet government" there so we (The U.S.) can control the world's LARGEST supply of OIL on the planet.



Why would we want to do this you may ask? Because we (and the rest of the world) use oil in such immense amounts, and it wont last forever (in fact there are numerous studies saying that the world could possibly exhaust its supply of natural oil in the next 100 years or less), and those that control the most oil, will be the most powerful among us on this planet we call Earth. And that of course will be (and is)us as of last May when we took this oil by force.



I have other ideas as to the depth of all of this, and not enough time to go into all of it here right now (no one would want to read my ideas anyway probably) but suffice it to say, there is much more going on over in Iraq than we are being led to believe.....



Thats it for tonight.....
