Threat Matrix- Daily Terror Thread (4):

February 24, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - The Pentagon has dispatched the elite commando force that hunted down Saddam Hussein to Afghanistan for a new operation aimed at getting Osama bin Laden, officials said yesterday. Military sources confirmed that members of the shadowy Task Force 121, the unit that conducted the high-tech search for Saddam and his henchmen, have recently begun operating in the remote mountainous region along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border where bin Laden and key al Qaeda and Taliban fugitives are believed to be hiding. The Task Force is made up of highly trained Delta and SEAL commandos, as well as CIA paramilitary operators. It operates outside normal military channels.

There is no question that something was tested in Wellton.

It would scare us to death if we knew about all the things they are testing.

The danger isn't that they are inventing these things, but rather that some crazy will get control of them.

I don't think we have any secrets left.

If they haven't been sold for money, then some fool has passed them on, so they can shine 'the light' on the one world and have peace.

25 or 30 years ago, Readers Digest did an article on our Patent Office and the rules on sharing our new patents with Russia.

The secrets that the law said we could not send to Russia, also allowed for the same secret to go to the countries that Russia was in control of...........

Just so long as it didn't have a Russian mailing address.

If I were in control, we would have even more secret than we do now. LOL

I see a lot come out that would not be released if I were in charge. This make it all one world is so very dangerous.

Having lived with a bombing - test range for a property line, I may have seen a bit, but most of it, didn't make any sense to me, on the ground.

I still smile when I remember attempting to explain to Bill that I had seen the under carriage of a plane, larger than a Cessna, but not as big as a B-26, that flew too low over the house, AND THEN MADE A SHARP RIGHT HAND TURN to get on the bombing range.

He explained to me that it was a helicopter.........LOL

That weekend the Yuma TV, did a full report on what I had seen and showed it turning right.........

It was a test plane from England, with a car engine (Rolls? as I recall).

I was only looking for the lost years, I didn't loose them all, only part.

When I was 40, an older friend promised me time would speed up when I got old.

What she didn't tell me, was that it would go so fast that it seems like all you do is get up and it is time to go to bed.

Maybe the fact that I am living the dream, of sleep when I want to and get up when ready.......well... it is 4 hours of sleep and up till I can't see, then to bed.

I don't have time for all that sleeping, it interferes with my INTERNET time.

LOL

[Hyakutake] One more point - didn't you wonder why this comet appeared and disappeared so quickly - without forewarning of any kind?

Blue Beam

Actually I did wonder that. Hale Bopp was visible, tail and all for weeks! Hyakutake was a large fuzz ball that disappeared as quick as it appeared.

Isn't it a Native American belief that this is the dream and the place we go to when we sleep is the "real world". I probably butchered that all up, but I thought it was something like that.

I wish I could get away with sleeping less, but I like and need sleep way too much. I'm cutting into my valuable sleep time right now. :)

Fat chance. They'll show Janet Jackson's breast hundreds of times in slow-mo replay, but you will rarely 9/11 video footage on TV again. I have tried to scrounge up video clips of the raw news coverage off of Internet to save for posterity. (BTW, if anyone has some of these, please Freepmail me, maybe we can swap).

I was surprised when CBS ran "9/11" a year and a half ago. It was a pretty good documentary that didn't pull many punches. We probably won't see that again either.

Very astute observation.
I don't know the answer, but this can be AQ-related, ETA, or some other group no one has ever of.

So far, over 60 dead, many injured, possibly back-pack bombs...coordinated explosions - 3-5 explosions possibly...still breaking news....

The reserve covers 10,182 acres from the 5,260-foot Puu O Umi summit to the cliff-faced seashore. Department personnel found that vandals had carefully cut hogwire at every second post supporting the fencing, then rolled the fencing back and secured it by crimping. The wire was cut at 142 different locations with a total of about 1,500 individual cuts in the wire. The effort would have taken a full day's work, the department said. Unused fencing lying on the ground was also cut into 10-foot pieces. In an area where the fence bordered a pasture, it was not damaged, the department said. The rainy Puu O Umi reserve contains highland bogs that are used by the endangered native koloa duck. The enclosed area contains an endangered lobeliad plant species called oha wai. Additional endangered species were being planted there by the department") (March 7, 2004) (Read More...)

Its interesting to note that Calpernia was unable to access many of her sites last night before the train bombings in Spain.

I've noticed a trend of rolling internet site hacking that precedes attacks by terrorist group. If this trend holds, it could be a way to determine if a terrorist strike is coming.

Seems Internet Haganah, Homeland Security US and Homeland Security.net get hacked and go offline ( at least for a little bit) every time since late last year. Haganah installed mirror sties to prevent it, so they usually dont go down long, if at all.
