Tinfoil or not -- some of you may be interested in the latest info from Steve Quayle's website:


It's chilling.

http://www.stevequayle.com/


DATE : 12-21 ongoing
LOCATION: New York City;Los Angeles; Washington, DC.; Chicago

ATTACK TYPE: Stolen cargo planes loaded with WMD. Concern for radio controlled, large model aircraft containing biologicals. Additionally, female suicide bombers in cities previously noted, targeting large gatherings like sports events, malls, etc.

TARGET : New York City;Los Angeles; Washington, DC.; Chicago

INTEL SOURCEDoD sources, massive Internet chatter, al-Qaeda detainees under interrogation and pronouncements from high-ranking Jihad officials

ATTACK PROBABILITY:Extremely High

National Terror Alert Threat Level Raised to Orange

COMMENT: DoD sources have indicated FOUR 5-man teams in possession of cargo aircraft headed for previously noted targets: the White House, the Pentagon and speculation of the NY Stock Exchange. Additionally, US counter-terrorism units are specifically concerned with radio-controlled model aircraft being used as a platform to disperse biologicals over target cities. Several U.S. military gunships were spotted chasing RC aircraft on Dec. 20. In the last 48 hours, actual photographs of suitcase nukes have shown up on "disappearing" Jihad websites. Developing. . .


AND his earlier threat assessment:

12-8 to
1-1-04
New York City


Las Vegas and Washington, D.C. NYC — weapons-grade anthrax dispersed from NYC skyscrapers

Las Vegas and Washington, D.C. — "A" bombs New York City


Las Vegas strip
The White House
US and British intel, plus al-Qaeda deep operational "plants" High
COMMENT: Based on current intelligence, it appears that the attack on NYC will be weapons-grade anthrax dispersed to intentionally disrupt the city to a maximum degree. Las Vegas: it is stated specifically that a major cable network will be tipped off to cover this explosion. Casualties are expected to be enormous forcing people to flee from the attacked cities. D.C. is continually singled out as a recipient of a suitcase nuke (fission weapon), not a radiological nuke (dirty bomb). Another American city is being targeted though not specifically named. Based on previous intel, it appears that Los Angeles is the most likely candidate.
12-8 to
1-1-04
Britain dirty bomb House of Parliament US and British intel, plus al-Qaeda deep operational "plants" High
COMMENT: It appears that this attack will be concurrent with attacks on the U.S. Other countries slated for attack in major cities are Japan, China and Russia. Terrorists are referring to "survival of the fittest". These events will bring about retaliation on specific Muslim nations leading to WW3.

And previous ones from his site:

Thank you so much. Yes, nothing can replace the human brain for sensing the myriad ways to respond to terror attacks which surely would be nothing we'd imagined. May we never live to see code red... Um, let me rephrase that... May code red never come to pass. Peace on earth. What a concept.

K. While I was taking care of biz on this side of the screen KV and me were discussing the whole thread.

We see how where one lives can be more of a factor.

Now I want to get back to reading more about the Las Vegas bit that came up around post #1000. Probably head over to the thread JustPiper linked us to on the on going subject.

It's obviously hard to know the credibility, but putting everything together, including that they did raise the alert, even though now they have a higher standard for raising it, my guess is that at least some of this info is true or at least likely.

Over the years there has been a lot of talk about the suitcase nukes -- they could well be hidden in the US.

There have also been credible threat alerts about cargo planes.

So everything considered, horrible it is to contemplate, but I think the possibility is there.

Of course I am also sure that our intel services and law enforcement are pulling out all the stops to prevent it, I hope they succeed.

I know this has been mentioned on other threads but I just don't recall what was said. Does the material in a suitcase nuke have a "shelf life"?

The other day we were watching a show on TBN and they were talking about how this Christian Org. uses the Russian Cargo planes to deliver supplies to other Nations.

There are potential targets for hijacking everywhere.

There is also that plane that went missing in Africa -- the main point about it is that it had double fuel tanks, so it could fly long distances without refueling.

Here is more about that plane stolen in Africa:

http://www.stevequayle.com/News.alert/03_Terror/030929.missing.Boeing.727.html

Was it stolen for parts or to make a flying bomb?

The story began May 25, when two men climbed aboard an idle cargo jet in Angola and flew off into the African sky. The jet has not been seen since.

When the plane, with tail number N844AA, left Luanda airport May 25, the transponder was turned off, so the plane's position could not be monitored by air-traffic control.

Worse yet, the missing 727 cargo jet had been converted into a fuel tanker, making it highly desirable as a "flying bomb."

An American named Ben Padilla (NOT the same guy, as the one who is being held for attempting to build a dirty bomb) approached authorities a month before the plane disappeared, saying the owner wanted to take the plane out of Angola. Padilla was asked for $50,000 in fees accumulated during the year the plane sat in Angola. Padilla was one of the two men later seen boarding the plane just before it took off.

According to Padilla's family in Florida, he was hired to repossess the jet after Air Angola failed to make lease payments.

His sister, Benita Padilla-Kirkland, says she feared the plane had crashed or Padilla, 51, was being held against his will.

Our borders are wide open, anyone can come in bringing anything with them, and you need to wait to see if a plane is highjacked to determine that not enough is being done in regards to homeland security? Amazing.

That was some weeks ago wasn't it? Never heard any follow up to that report.

We need new sources of news, real news. Everything on TV is soooo unnews worthy.

I must say though I bought my 8year old yellow Lab a multi color Sikorsky crystal necklace and my 11year old Chocolate Lab a Red Sikorsky crystal medallion in the shape of a dog boneso now my boyz have doggie bling bling thanks to the News! I kid you not.

If we attack Pakistan with low yield Nukes, it would destabilize all of Asia!

India and China might become involved in a nuclear conflagration. Taiwan and South Korea could also undergo blitzkrieg like attacks that submarine the world economy for years.

I doubt that we would do such.

We would need to push military forces out on the offensive against mideast targets. I would expect the Israeli's to join and NATO as well.

My concern is with Libya's chemical weapons development program. What if they discovered missing chemical weapons? And they alerted us so when we discovered the origin of the chemicals, we wouldn't bomb them. A CYA play?

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before, but I find it strange how Libya is disclosing it's WMD program and is cooperating with its dismantling. Perhaps they have shared info with the US/UK and hence knows what's coming up. I think part of this is why there's an orange alert. Libya know what's coming up, has shared it with us, and doesn't want a US response that is going to follow after the fact. I have a gut feeling the next attack is multiple/simultaneous small nukes in various population centers, followed by the release of chemical/bio weapons. Tens of millions of casualties...
