We had a freeper who did awesome summaries of this thread. Who was it? Those posts need to be copied over here.

Can anyone ping that freeper???

I know we had the links threaded...but it would be great if the summaries can be posted early on in this one.

We have explosive material that will be posted her soon. It is the result of the first efforts. There is more to come though.

More later on specifics.

I'm that FReeper (or at least, I think I am...) I'll go back and copy my summaries and post them here.

I'm also keeping an index on this thread, and will attempt to post it every 500 or 1000 posts, if possible.

Thanks for the compliment. Can't wait to see your "breaking news."

Uh, how explosive? :) I don't have my shields up, yet. :)

SUMMARY #1

For my own purposes, I'm attempting to summarize the last 2500 or so posts; a "Cliff's Notes" if you will:

1) Multiple flight cancellations involving BA, Air France, & AeroMexico over the holidays was due to specific intel obtained by US and Great Britain of a possible al Qaeda attack on NYC, DC, LA, east coast power plants, or Valdez, AK, despite "disinformation" by the French.

Great Britain is now hunting for 2 known al Qaeda terrorists in connection with above. Flights continue to be monitored closely, and BA pilots continue to balk at the thought of air marshals on flights.

2) The crash of an Egyptian jet into the Red Sea was quickly labeled a "mechanical malfunction" despite the fact that Tony Blair and his family were only miles away, and he was meeting with Mubarrak (sp?) that very afternoon. Never mind the fact that it takes weeks or even months to arrive at a cause after much investigation; Egyptian officials have this one all wrapped up in a matter of a few hours, before they've even begun to salvage the wreckage.

Today, an Islamic extremist group has claimed responsibility, but this claim has been pretty much ignored by mainstream media so far.

3) Cryptic messages continue to be posted on message boards known to be sympathetic to jihadi extremists. One particular find included pics of the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas (taken several years ago), a 747, & a blurry pic of the Staples Center in LA.

Another involves a bloody hand rising out of a map of Saudi Arabia; also on this map is eastern Egypt and the Red Sea.

4) A new message from Osama bin Laden has been broadcast by Al Jazeera (which aired only 14 minutes of his hour-long rant), urging his followers to continue the fight and making reference to the capture of Saddam Hussein. Particularly irksome to OBL is supposed cooperation of ME countries with the US. This tape has not yet been authenticated, & there is much speculation on either side of the issue as to whether OBL is still alive, although latest sources (CIA) say it is indeed him.

5) Much "digging" on the part of numerous FReepers has uncovered extensive underground tunnels/cave systems throughout much of the US. It has been noted that these tunnels/caves have been used for everything from smuggling of illegals into the US from Mexico, & bootlegging during Prohibition, to legitimate usage such as storage, electrical connectivity, the "Underground Railroad", etc.

Another astute Freeper has made the observation that several mosques in her area are located very close to known tunnels.

6) A Soviet official testified before Congress several years ago that it is highly likely that "suitcase nukes" have already been brought into this country. This same official died in a helicopter crash in Siberia.

7) In the last 2 weeks, there have been sizable earthquakes in California, Mexico, Bali, and Iran, with the 6.7 in Iran causing a loss of life upwards of 30,000 souls. And there is continued concern over the rise in groung temperature in Yellowstone. Along with a spectacular meteor shower viewed in Spain, as well as northern Iran.

8) Alert FReepers have noted a "spike" in the gold market, and are keeping close watch. By the end of today, it seemed to have leveled off, but bears watching, especially since al Qaeda posters had made specific references to gold.

9) Besides al Qaeda's known modus operandi involving airliners, it has been noted that other means/methods we need to consider are nuclear or biochemical attacks, and the possibility of attacks at/by sea.

10) A brochure has been published which points to a Pakistani company having offered nuclear intel for sale.

Please feel free to add to/correct my feeble summary.

My continued prayer is that we all remain ever vigilant.

I would have to go through tons of mail to remember who that was!
