If EOM is anybody then these messages sound a like a warnning of something pretty emminant. EOM seems to be impling that this will be our last night of rest.

I HIGHLY doubt EOM is "real".

I've read the blubber on the CN&Y board for weeks now, and it's always "you're all going to die 'SOON'". "Soon" has been for a long time now.

My opinion is that this person is mentally disturbed and is a "terrorist" in imagination only.

The Navy posters with the slogan "Loose Lips Sink Ships" come to mind: If EOM has any real operational knowledge, he's altogether too much of a blabbermouth.

IMHO there are only 3 reasonable possibilities for EOM's identity:

1) A hoax - perhaps some bored college kid somewhere who likes pulling everyone's chains for the fun of it.

2) A net.kook - someone who's mentally disturbed or even insane: perhaps he thinks he's the reincarnation of Saladin or somebody.

3) A propagandist - All of his messages are being posted for purely propaganda purposes. Perhaps he has a real connection with a real organization, perhaps he's a freelancer. Perhaps he hopes to spread fear and advance the terrorist cause (most likely), or perhaps he hopes to eventually discredit them with continual implausibility.

In any event it's quite clear that he can't be taken seriously: If he had real knowledge and was this loose-lipped about actual plans, any intelligence organization with any discipline at all would have seen to it that he was silenced one way or another. On the other hand if he's been tasked with creating FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) then he has no reason for his talk to be connected to actual events (threatened events are sufficient for his purposes). For example, think of Lord Haw Haw during WWII.

Another thing that occurs to me - the standard Islamist babble is usually hyper-inflated: to hear them tell it, they "conquered" New York on 9/11. Yeah, right, they destroyed about 5 large buildings and killed about 3000 people, but they forgot to tell that to the other 25,000,000 who live in the NY metro area.

If that amount of damage means they "conquered" New York in any reasonable sense of the word, Hitler would have been walking down the streets of London in the 1940's, and we all know what happened to him!!
