'It's The Calm Before The Storm': Trump Offers Cryptic Message During White House Photo Op
« on: October 06, 2017, 03:44:09 am »
President Trump had a cryptic message for the White House pool reporters Thursday night during a photo op with military leaders.

"You guys know what this represents?" Trump asked reporters as he pointed around the room. "It's the calm before the storm."

"We have the world's greatest military people," he added.

Trump's comments came after a meeting with senior military leaders while he and first lady Melania Trump posed for a photo with the officials and their spouses.

Reporters asked the president what he meant, but Trump did not clarify his comments, saying only, "You'll find out."

Could be nothing, but after the LV shooting, hurricanes, Charlottesville, and NK tests, people have wondered what's next.....

Something's coming.  It's in the air.... it's been building up to something for a year now.... and you'd have to be an idiot to not know that.  Trump is probably alluding to his knowledge about how our enemies are in preparation for an attack on the US.  That would be my guess.   We are more divided than ever and are in a highly weakened state right now.  It would be the perfect time for them to try to destroy us.

Who's the "them"? As far as I can see all the big players in the world are suffering their own serious economic and social problems.

Only Iran and NK are possibly nuts enough to make an open attack against us and if they were to use any weapons of mass destruction they would be destroyed in short order. Probably in hours.

And they both win every day that passes without their nuke programs being interfered with.

Trump is a BSer.  "You'll find out" means you will lose interest after I drown it with some WWE style palace intrigue.

Trump alludes to "calm before the storm" in confusing comments

President Trump offered some confusing comments in front of reporters Thursday night, when at an event for military officials and their spouses he suggested the moment represented "the calm before the storm."

Mr. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, flanked by military spouses for a photo op at the White House, said, "You guys know what this represents? Maybe it's the calm before the storm," the president said.

 :pondering:  See article for the rest. "You'll find out", he told them. Sounds a bit ominous but who knows?

@driftdiver Besides those events, there's been plenty of chaos caused just from some of Trump's Twitter rants. A couple I can think of just off the top of my head are the announcement of trans not being allowed in the military and his comments regarding Jeff Sessions.

Nov 4 ?

That's interesting.  On another forum a poster started a cryptic topic "Nov 4 It Begins"
 about a radical Leftist offensive.  Other posters saw a possible relationship with Nov 5
 [remember, remember the 5th of Nov.]

So why do you think this annual Putin speech would be special ?

This year Nov 7 is an important anniversary.

Btw... if you understand why Nov 7 is the 100th anniversary of the "October Revolution"...
then you will understand how in July 2001 Russian economist Dr Koryagina accurately
predicted a huge hit on the USA's world financial center in the "last ten days of August."

.


Back in 1997, the WSJ had an article about Russian technology creating a hurricane.

Amazingly the link still works !


Malaysia Plans War on Smog With Russian-Made Cyclones


Nov. 13, 1997

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- Malaysia's war on smog is about to get a new twist. A big one.

" The government wants to create man-made cyclones to scrub away the haze that has plagued Malaysia off and on since July. "We will use special technology to create an artificial cyclone to clean the air," said Datuk Law Hieng Ding, Minister for Science, Technology and the Environment.

The plan calls for the use of new Russian technology to create cyclones -- the giant storms also known variously as typhoons and hurricanes -- to cause torrential rains, washing the smoke out of the air. The Malaysian cabinet and the finance ministry have approved the plan, Datuk Law said. "

This is already happening...  Gog/Magog's global hordes are invading and destroying the lands of God's European Christ-bearing people.  Think Rev 20.
