I tend to agree with you except I'm not willing to assume that AQ has made any threat specific to 01.02.04 or any other date or deadline. AQ will strike when they can, not when some calander says that they should. Although EOM and Daajeh have made these threats, I'm not about to give a whole lot of weight to their words, notwithstanding the belief of some of the internet spooks that regularly post on this thread that EOM and Daajeh are, in fact, the real thing. Maybe they are, maybe thay aren't, but until I actually see convincing evidence (as opposed to being told by the internet spooks that the evidence exists, but we can't see it), I'm not about to give a lot of credibility to the 02.02 deadline, which I'm sure will be extended by those "in the know" for reasons they won't disclose until after the deadline has come and pass without a major event. Don't misunderstand me. I believe the situation is very serious and will remain so for many years to come, and I do appreciate the many, many thoughtful posts on this thread, especially yours. But I'm not about to liquidate my portfolio and duck tape my house just because EOM/Daajeh tell us the sky is going to fall by 02.02 and a couple of people who run internet spook sites tell us that we should believe them.
