Anonymous Coward User ID: 56158669 United States 07/30/2014 10:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | With the missing hemmorhagic fever vial from the lab in Galveston yesterday, I was reading through some of the old sinkhole/assumption threads. Especially the ones with messages from East Texas. Lots of very bizarre coincidences began to surface.... I just wanted to share. Quoting: ladyannie2009 ---------- Stephen King’s book, ‘The Stand’ was originally released in the late 70’s. Then he released an uncut/complete version in 1990 with all of the edits restored. King had modernized some of the story. He made changes and included some of current trends/fads from the pop culture to appeal to a younger audience. The movie is an apocalyptic, end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it story about a virus with a mortality rate of over 99%. The military calls it ‘Project Blue’…… civilians reference it as ‘captain trips’ or just ‘the super-flu’……but whatever the name, it’s a global killer that presents itself with typical, flu-like symptoms. King had wanted George Romero to direct the movie version because of the work he had done on his dawn/dead zombie films which King was (still is) a huge fan of. The two had collaborated on/off for 10+ years on a screen play, but there were issues almost from the beginning, mostly because of the length of the uncut version. Romero didn’t think it would hold an audience’s attention….and King didn’t want to make revisions to shorten the film because of how he had taken the time to really build the characters. He made them real by injecting real events and real life lessons that he wanted people to be able to identify with. Eventually, they parted ways (remaining friends)…and the idea for Romero to direct was scrapped. A few years later, ABC & King agreed on a screenplay for the movie, the cast was chosen, and ABC made the film. It was released in the mid 90’s as an 8 hr mini-series shown in 4 segments. The movie has a theme of ‘Good’ v/s ‘Evil’. Most of the people who have natural immunity to the virus have lost everyone (book is slightly different than the movie) Entire families, gone. Friends, neighbors, co-workers…all gone. Most animals have died off as well. The survivors begin to have precognitive dreams that lead them to one of the two groups that begin to form. The ‘good guys’ are represented by an old woman they call Mother Abigail……and the ‘bad guys’ are represented by a demon in human form. His name is Randall Flagg. *****SPOILER ALERT***** Part I – The Plague: Movie starts off at a high-level security army base in Baja, California. It’s a research facility where they’re doing top-secret testing on biological & chemical weapons. They’re in a bio-level 4 medical lab when there is a containment breach on one of the highly virulent strains they’re working with. Something so deadly, that it kills everyone inside the lab in a matter of minutes. Because of a malfunction with the security gates, one of the MP’s on outside patrol, Charles Campion, manages to escape from his military guard shack. He quickly grabs his wife and baby, and makes it out of the army facility before the gates lock-down with them inside. Unfortunately, he & his family are already infected. Campion, in a delusional & advanced state of illness, is able to get all the way to a small gas station in the north east corner of Texas. In a small little town called ‘Arnett’. Unbeknownst to him, his wife and baby have died along the way….. he dies a few minutes later. The military moves in, and the residents of Arnett are put in a mandatory quarantine. They are told it’s necessary because of a new strain of anthrax. The virus is then purposely spread to other countries so that the contamination leak cannot be traced back to the military base in California. The virus continues to spread, and within 19 days, over 99% of the world’s population is dead. The remaining survivors find each other through their dreams (or nightmares depending on what side they’re on), and together, as a group, they begin to assemble their new lives in new places with the people that will become their new families. All of the survivors must choose their own destiny by choosing their own path. They make their own choices on which team to join based on who they are as individuals. Of what’s important to them in establishing their new lives. Evil wants to control the world…..plus everything & everyone in it. Evil is materialistic, it craves power and it wants to rule over all. If Good wants to remain sovereign, they will have to fight. They will have to take a ‘STAND’ and battle evil one last time. I thought about the book too! It's; "Game Over"! Jesus is coming back and *everybody* is choosing sides...*everybody*! |

User ID: 59870597 United States 07/30/2014 10:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Part I – The Plague Quoting: ladyannie2009 I’m really not sure what to make of this next part, so I’ll just give you the facts and let you, the reader, form your own opinions. At the very beginning of the movie (1st part)….. there is a black screen that appears with a quote by TS Eliot: **you can see this in the link provided….it’s right before the song ‘Don’t Fear The Reaper’ by Blue Oyster Cult begins….. without more cowbell ‘This is the way the world ends, This is the way the world ends, This is the way the world ends, Not with a bang but a whimper.’ That’s on the regular film version VHS & DVD. Even when it’s on television, that quote is always shown. It really sets the pace of the movie I think and I’ve never NOT seen it. Earlier, and the main reason for me posting this, is because I had turned the tv on and started the 1st part of the movie through Netflix. Where the TS Eliot quote should have been was a different quote. One that I’ve never seen attached to this movie ever (can another Netflix subscriber verify this please?). The TS Eliot quote was gone and replaced with this: REV 6 – 8 And I saw a pale horse And a pale rider upon it And the name of the horse Was pestilence And the name of the rider Was death. *if there’s interest, I can summarize the other 3 parts of the movie for those who don’t have time to watch it. Just let me know. [link to en.wikipedia.org] That is a real find. I have seen so many instances of media manipulation to incorporate the prophecies in The Revelation, they do it to guide the masses' thinking in the channels they want. Does anybody remember during the Egyption "Spring" event, the news video taken in Tahir Square with the strange, pale green ghost like figure rising up out of the crowd, and references all over the internet to the pale horse?

User ID: 4493289 United States 07/30/2014 12:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | NO MATTER WHAT THE STORY IS...DO NOT GET VACCINATED!!! EBOLA is being distributed via vaccines!! TPTB are using a phony Ebola outbreak to scare the people into accepting vaccination shots!! The Ebola outbreak reeks of yet another false flag outbreak orchestrated by the US government in order to remove our liberties. Eleven West African countries affected by the outbreak are being put increasingly under the control of the World Health Organization, which has established a sub regional control center in Guinea to take charge of essential government functions. [link to accra.sites.unicnetwork.org] Sheltering Ebola victims of infection in hospital has been declared a crime. [link to www.bbc.com] Ebola patients suspecting that they are being infected in the hospitals themselves are abandoning the hospitals in droves. [link to www.google.de] Sierra Leone is one of the poorest countries in the world and the Kenema region is one of the poorest regions with an illiteracy rate of about 50%. Unscrupulous elements in the US government and Big Pharma may well have decided that this part of the world is an ideal place to start a pandemic which can then be spread, through forced vaccinations and infusions, to other parts of the world.

In that, due to there being too many people for the resources, they consider releasing a virus to kill 90^ of people. Coulf it be like Star Trek where the writers are using a microcosm to describe the real world and its future? |

He came to me back in March and told me about the coming plague. I heard about the ebola outbreak the next day and have been watching it ever since. I've dreamed about the dark man for years but its gotten more frequent and specific the past couple. I've watched threads carefully to see if anyone else is having dreams of him and there may be one other. The person could have been role playing to, since I've blogged about these dreams since 2012 and posted them on other forums. I've been mercilessly trolled and stalked over those dreams to. Its not been easy at all. Anyway, the dream in March brought me back to GLP. I'm under the impression that I won't live through the plague (if it manifests) and he will gleefully harvest my soul. |

Quoting: Dace Randall Flagg didn't first appear in the stand,...he first appeared as simply 'flagg' in 'the eyes of the dragon'. it was also hinted that he, 'the man in black', was the evil dude in 'storm of the century'. but mainly, flagg was who roland pursued on the way to the dark tower. How do you figure that? Eyes of the Dragon- first published 1984 The Stand- 1978 Dark Tower came way after either |

But then again, back when i read it I was a teen and thought there was no way that a global pandemic could ever happen. I know better now.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 6500947 United States 07/30/2014 04:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is perhaps my all time favorite book. Quoting: R.P. McMurphy I remember the first time I read it I literally could not put it down. I think I read the entire book in ten hours or something... then I immediately read it again at a slower pace to fully absorb it. The television mini-series was a bit of a letdown for me. It was entirely too tame. This needs to be made in a big 3.5 hour blockbuster type movie. Now I just finished watching a series on Netflix called 'Revolution'. Another post-apocalyptic tale based on the electrical grid going down...and no one knows why. It was really a great story-line, 15 years after the collapse, and how the United States had broken up into 6 years who were all fighting for control. The acting and the dialogue on the other hand was why, I'm sure the series was cancelled. That and the leftist militia confiscated all the firearms and made possession of a simple cartridge a capital offence. If you get a chance, watch it. You'll enjoy it. And there are many, many references to the Stand... See how many you can catch. about the same here, got the uncut when it was paperback and that was cool having more to read |

And too f*cking bizarre to even begin to explain, but I'll try and summarize soon. Let's just say my life has been thrown many obstacles. Some of which (I think) have been a part of my postings on this site. So I took a sabbatical. I had to. For myself.....and for others. No glp for a couple of months. I had to detox from glp.....and de-compress from personal issues.....and I am trying to re-invent whatever it is that I am supposed to become..... ....Cuz 'old ladyannie' is sorta non-existent now. I have new experiences in which to draw information from & many of my life changes have fundamentally changed my philosophy on certain subjects. This thread, however, remains 100% pat. At least for now..... But I've been lurking for the past cpl weeks. Nutmeg's good sumaritan work today made me wanna sign in & give some positive karma.... .....so now I'm back I guess. I'm gonna catch up with this thread.....then leave my comments tomorrow. Awesome feedback! Just in scanning.... I've got lots on my mind to share! In the meantime - has anyone really listened to the 'don't fear the reaper' lyrics? I mean ~really...really~ listened??
