SOMETHING BIG GOING DOWN TONIGHT (VANITY)
August 2, 2013 | Hostage

Posted on 08/02/2013 8:30:34 PM PDT by Hostage

I know this sounds hysterical to post about a seemingly tin foil conspiracy development but I am prepared to risk some credibility and get it out there so that we can say we weren't completely surprised.

First, 120 embassies have been shut down. The rationale is presumably because AQ is planning an attack. Fine, go with that but that's not the real reason I am hearing from credible sources.

I'll say in my own defense that I was told by another source last October, a substantial source who nevertheless did not have 100% of my trust, that Israel would attack Iran and that WW III would start as a result. I argued with that source and refused to relay it further. So when I hear of major predictions, I'm not quick to buy into them.

But this source is very credible to me. Still things can happen where it doesn't come to pass, and if it doesn't, that's Ok by me. I think it's worth putting it out there.

Let me also say that I don't have all the pieces of the puzzle but possess a good sense of the general activity.

Without any more pre-qualification I'll just get right to it.

THERE IS GOING TO BE AN INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY RESET TONIGHT OR IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.

Here are the pieces of the puzzle I am aware of in item format:

*Global Financial Settlement - International Banking Reforms *Global Currency Reset - each country currency to be based on formulation of asset/liability mix *Basel III Protocol *Babylon II Software *Chinese Historical Debt *Private Placement Platforms *39 Countries will go bankrupt in days if no sign off

So the main guns were able to be recessed below deck?

Because the enemy would never ever be able to figure out it was a warship? lol

Actually, no.
It was worse than that.
It had three turrets, two guns each.
Mounted in the superstructure.
The forward turrets were side by side.
Rear turret centered.

The guns sat four foot off the decking and tore the crap out ta the decking when fired.
Wikipedia actually has a pretty decent page about it, surprisingly.

How will you store and transport it? It’s not a bad idea, although I doubt you can take Piper in it. Try eBay and similar sources, or wait until the end-of-summer clearances.

The Seabase campers are all very sunburned, and I still have a lot of their laundry to do. It’s tempting to put on a load now, but I’ll wait a while.

Vodka, opium, or wishful thinking inspired that ship class.
Initial main guns had a range of 5,500 yards at a time when 7k yards was minimum.
Ekaterina ii herself used disappearing gun mounts.. And nobody knows why as that was useless on a naval vessel.

JC Penney says your dishes shipped on 7/7. I’ll call them when it’s business hours to find out what went wrong.

"The Russians had been impressed by the performance of the barbette-mounted disappearing guns of HMS Temeraire during the bombardment of Alexandria in 1882 and began to seriously consider the use of this type of installation in their new battleships."

Note that they quickly modified the other ships while still on the quays.
The predreadnoughts were as a whole crude designs, mainly did to all of them being experiments.
And on top right of that, many of them continued to draw inspiration from ironclads.

Disappearing guns were mainly a coastal defense install as that aided gun crew survivability.
But... People did try them on ships as the thought it of boxing things in armor was still a naval blasphemy at the time.
Open turret rears and such as on quite a few ships of the time.
Especially “armored cruisers”.

am I the only one who submits stories

I have no idea what you're talking about, and the connection to beetroot is completely opaque.

But that reminds me, I need to pick tomatoes and Japanese eggplant today. At least the birds don't eat the eggplant.

Yeah.
Gave the turret crews the warm fuzzies too.

Just like the m10 tank destroyers with open tops...

It takes big ones to serve in unarmoured stuff like that.
With the shells coming in from all angles.
