Labor Day: It’s About Time

By Krystal D'Costa | August 30, 2013 |

The first Monday in September is a federal holiday in the United States. It marks Labor Day—a tribute to contributions made by American workers to the growth and development of the country (or at least those in a position to contribute without being exploited).

The history of labor day is the history of labor—and laborer rights. Not too long ago, American workers were subject to horrible working conditions. Twelve, fourteen, even eighteen hour workdays were ...

I really don't know, bu tlooks like we'll find out in 1 day and 9 hours! Seems interesting to me that they would make the announcement sooner than they originally planned, whatever it is. Usually stuff gets pushed back, not moved up!

I hope it's not a bs site. Seeing as nasa sites in general are down due to furlough so I can't check for legitimacy

Maybe they beat SETI to an alien discovery?

Hahah that's the only reason I posted it here. Figured it was somehow relevant.

A new website called RememberThe13th.com is claiming to be an announcement from NASA that on November 13, 2013, NASA will announce a ‘Major Discovery’ that will ‘Shake the World’. The interesting thing about this ‘announcement is that the site is not on NASA’s servers, which are offline due to the historic government shutdown, now in it’s third day.

The domain, RememberThe13th.com, according to DomainTools.com, has a Creation date: 01 Oct 2013 16:16:00

In NASA’s history of warnings, this one coming from namecheap.com appears to be the ultimate prank that will be difficult for NASA to refute given that their site NASA.gov is currently offline. Whether this is criminal fraud in causing alarm to potentially millions of people, remains to be seen. Its possible that desperate people are doing desperate things to attract attention and dupe people into some kind of commerce.

While this is potentially dangerous, it shows the lengths that government operatives and/or private individuals will go, to cause chaos and discredit the alternative media community. Anyway, do your own research and come to your own conclusions about whether this is the ‘real deal’ or not.

Ask yourself, “Would NASA make an announcement of historic proportions and ask the world to wait until November 13, 2013?”

Anyway, chalk this one up to more of the same – discredit the Alternative Media at any cost…

While alien life is most certainly real, it appears this website is not.

That had to be an alien conspiracy that set up that site. They just wanted to see how many humans they could be duped into going to. Careful, now they have your IP address and will come for you!
