What Comes To Pass

The Rumour Mill

It has come to my attention through sources who work in certain city councils that the casualty numbers are set to rise in the coming days. Not because they haven't yet perished in spite of the work of our medical services but because the numbers combined with further information regarding attacks would spark considerable civil unrest.

I cannot vouch entirely for this information but I can only offer my assurances that its source is considered trustworthy (good god I sound like some idiot Democratic Underground forum-poster). The casualty figures will steadily rise to about 200.

There have been other bombs planted in 2 Mosques and 1 Catholic Church.

It has been said that none of this has been released to the public yet and that it will instead be either permanently hushed or revealed over a period of time so as not to spark the civil unrest or turmoil that would probably result from it all being revealed at once.

Again I hope that this is all a network of rumours and chinese whispers but I fear, knowing their source, for their veracity. I only blog this because apparently the media is in agreement not to report these goings on and because let's face it, 500 people who read this blog each day will probably just laugh this one off as a prank post and certainly aren't enough people to start some rioting in the streets (from what I know of my readership, none would stoop to that level irrespective of the circumstances).

I hope honest to god, that I can look sheepish in the coming years about this. That I can hold my hands up and say "you got me, that was a good one" to its source.

I don't post to indulge in some scare-mongering or out of some sick desire to say "I told you so" if it turns out that this is true, but simply because I'm not sure what else to do with the information. I'm not a journalist so I don't have a job to lose by blogging this, only credibility and let's face it, no one gets their facts from Blogs - we're opinion journals.

Take it with a pinch of salt.
