"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat"

Two Chinese diplomats, away from their Los Angeles consulate improperly, recently sped their vehicle past a Los Alamos National Laboratory guard post near classified facilities in what U.S. officials think was an intelligence mission, The Washington Times has learned.

Local Airline Office Investigates Suspicious Call (FL)
(snipped)
The change is worth it for Shiela, but her eyes became very wide when First Coast News gave her a copy of a police report that stated someone claiming to be from Al-Qaeda called the British Airways Reservation office in Jacksonville and asked for peace.

The report says the caller asked if he was speaking to British Airways; the operator said that he was. The operator then told police the man, who spoke in a deep voice with a Middle Eastern or Arabic dialect, said he represented Al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden and that they wanted to negotiate with London. He continued to speak calmly, saying London had sinned against Muslims. The following is a transcript of part of the conversation.

Caller: Is this message taped?
Agent: Yes.
Caller. OK. We would like to warn the British Government, we would like peace in London. We're easy to negotiate with. Bin Laden is thinking about turning himself in. London has sinned against us(snipped)

Philippines smashes Jemaah Islamiyah cell, suspect arrested

MANILA : Philippines authorities have cracked a Jemaah Islamiyah cell days before some 43 million voters in the country are due to elect their President, as well as more than 17,000 national, provincial and local officials.

Security officials said the arrest of one of the cell's suspected members further indicates that a plot to disrupt the elections is in the works.

Philippines police paraded terrorism suspect Jordan Mamso Abdullah at a news conference.

The 46-year-old, believed to be a member of the Southeast Asian terror group - Jemaah Islamiyah - was arrested on the southern island of Mindanao.

He is said to have received financing from Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network, according to a confession by Hambali, the suspected operations chief for the JI. (snip)

Thanks for keeping up with his rants, especially for us non-Yahoo freepers, it is appreciated.

Interesting how this is reving up as we await a WMD attack.

Yes, she made that statement some time ago. It makes you wonder what she has in mind. I was thinking that the "intern" story would surface prior to the election; however, she may have been referring to a terror strike.

That was what crossed my mind too when she said that.

And someone here mentioned that she was to meet at the WH with the First Lady that morning of 911 but cancelled.

I remember from back then that the report was that Hitlery was at her mansion in DC that morning, just running late, was the excuse, or some other flimsy reason.

Yes, Bill was in Australia, and I remember Gore was out of the country too. He had trouble getting back here, couldn't get a flight. Seems like he got stuck in Canada for a little while.

[texasbluebell]

When I heard that she had said this....this first thing that came to my mind were all of the FBI files that she and her cohorts had, and probably still have.

I'd bet on it, that she had copies made of those files before returning them. Everyone in Washington seems to be compromised, by one thing or another, not just by her, but seems like everyone has something on someone else to control them all.

Sounds like it's a continuous game of Gotcha there.

I believe that you are correct. Also by promoting this drivel about alleged "torture" of Iraqi prisoners on every U.S. channel every five minutes; I think that they are further endangering our troops. We have troops in Iraq who are in harms way every minute of every day that they are there. We have no idea what the prisoners in the pictures had done in the hours and days prior to their imprisonment. Were they caught with a car full of explosives, a belt full of explosives, planting land mines by a road, throwing grenades....???

Senators and Congressmen from both parties screaming for investigations. It makes our leadership look weak to our enemy. This is a time when they MUST appear as a solid front, not whining apologists. I will never forget the unedited pictures that I have seen of the four U.S. contractors, and the terror and dispicable acts that were perpetrated upon them. That is torture.

Read this thread. It brought a tear to my eye.

Munitions depot explodes in Ukraine's Zaporozhye region



06.05.2004, 17.58




KIEV, May 6 (Itar-Tass) - A munitions depot has exploded on a base of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, located in the town of Novobogdanovka, the eastern region of Zaporozhye.

The burst wave destroyed some buildings on the base and erased a part of the town.

Sources at the Ukrainian Emergency Situations Ministry said early data indicated numerous victims.

The accident occurred at around 14:00 hours Moscow time, or 10:00 hours GMT.

A blaze produced chain explosions at the depot of munitions of Ukraine’ s southern operative command and later caused blasts of the Grad salvo systems, also stored there.

As Novobogdanovka is located in the immediate vicinity of the railroad station Fyodorovka, the accident has affected traffic at the Moscow-Crimea railroad.

Since the explosions continued and their power was reportedly so big that house windows were falling out in two neighboring towns, the authorities had to begin evacuating the population centers on an area of ten kilometres around the base.

Also, an emergency situation was declared in the city of Melitopol, and important industrial center situated 25 kilometers away from the place.

What's going on in the Ukraine??

Ukrainian depot blast destroys railroad station
06.05.2004, 18.20


KIEV, May 6 (Itar-Tass) - Chain explosions at the munitions depot of the Southern Operative Command of Ukraine’s Armed Forces at Bogdanovka, Zaporozhye region, have caused vast destruction at the railroad junction of Fyodorovka.

Traffic has been blocked on the Moscow-Crimea international railroad.

Sources at the Zaporozhye regional administration told Itar-Tass the explosions were continuing and had embraced facilities where the Grad salvo systems were kept.

There were apprehensions that the storage facilities with the Uragan and Smerch super-shells might be engulfed soon, in which case the shell fragments would be falling on an area of 70 kilometers around Bogdanovka.

Theoretically, this highly unwelcome turn of the situation may have impact on the city of Melitopol, an important industrial center of southeast Ukraine. Earlier reports said the authorities there had declared an emergency situation.

At the time of reporting, a total of 10,000 locals were being evacuated from four townships around the mischief base.

I needed 2 tissues for that one.

Gulp. Scary interview. And that interiew says something about the outcome of the visit by Mubarak with Bush in April having some affect on all this. Remember, Mubarak didn't keep that visit, he cancelled it, and I never heard the reason.

Did some looking about the author who was interviewed here. Here's another link to another interesting article, take a look at this:

link

"The reason why Mubarak and Abdullah hate and fear George W. Bush the most is that they have discovered to their dismay that neither he nor members of his administration can be bought. Unlike some other Western leaders who also protected Saddam and opposed his removal for money, George Bush, despite propaganda to the contrary, is regarded by most people in the Middle East as the true savior of the oppressed."

'The Iraqi battleground has offered the Arab and Muslim leaders the test and challenge. They have been waiting for President Mubarak of Egypt and Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia who are purportedly America's best allies and are the best bilingual heads of state the world over. In English, they speak peace, stability and prosperity in the Middle East. They also speak antiterrorist and antifundamentalist. In Arabic, on the other hand, they speak Jihad. They also speak anti-American, anti-Jewish and anti-peace rhetoric. They speak hate for America, for Israel, for the Jews and for the Christians."

[texasbluebell]

We need a whole lot more Arabic speakers in this country.

I didn't see anything like that, although I NEVER read ads anyway and I have pop up blocker. I DON'T go on the internet to read porn or buy drugs or anything else. I try very hard to be of use here and have put together our emergency network and try to post information that is of possible interest to our board. Are you taking a poll or gathering votes to chastise me or just trying to embarass me?? You could have just freepmailed me about what you found and I could have had those posts deleted.

I posted the pictures of the WTC JUMPERS ONLY to make a point. If there happens to be something on there that I didn't see and you don't like or embarrasses you click off.

I will leave the link posting to you from now on.

"Prepare as much as you can from strength and from force to terrorise - because terrorism it is part of Islam."

How much more clear does it have to be for us to see the handwriting on the wall? What's wrong with our "leaders"? All of them.

I suppose what's happening under the surface is that those running the show in the US really do know the truth about this cult, but cannot state it explicitly. First it would panic the populace, and second, it would tip off the jihadis and leaders like Mubarak and the others.

Yes, I hope so.

It's the diplomatic equivalent of saying "Nice Cujo", while loading the shotgun...
