Two Israelis Arrested in east Tennessee Transporting Suspicious Materials

[who knows what evil?]

My apologies in advance on this story; I just happened to catch this on several different newscasts a few minutes ago, and I am going by memory as best I can. Unicoi County (Tennessee) sheriffs arrested two Israeli men after a high-speed chase down mountain roads in this east Tennessee locale. While the sheriff was in pursuit, local witnesses noticed that materials were being thrown from the truck as it sped by, well over the posted speed limits. These witnesses were able to locate some of these items; one of which included a jug whose contents became "unusually hot" after the ingredients inside were shaken together. (Goes into the "Hey, y'all...watch this" category, WKWE.) Upon arrest, the police noted that the cab of the truck contained a "Learn How to Fly" brochure, along with passports and Florida licenses that "just didn't seem to add up". The Israelis claimed they were "just in the process of moving some furniture up to Boston". The police also stated that these two Israelis are "not being cooperative in any way." The FBI is investigating the nature of the substance in the jug that was recovered, which has been classified as an "inflammable fuel."

My questions:

1. What ELSE was in this (big yellow) 25-foot Ryder truck?
2. If they were travelling from Florida to Boston, what were they doing on a two-lane back road in the mountains of east Tennessee, several hundred miles WEST of Interstate 95; the most direct route from Florida to Boston?
3. What is the volatile substance in the jug, and why did they wish to avoid getting caught with it? (Why else would they pitch it?)
4. Why are they interested in "Learning How to Fly?"
5. Were they REALLY going to Boston, or were they MORE interested in the nearby Nuclear Fuel Services plant, or, G-d forbid, the huge Eastman Chemical Plant, about thirty miles further up the road?

It will be interesting to see if the national media picks up on this.

Notice I said they were loons, and not the majority of Israelis. We have more than our share of cults, hate groups, religious fanatics and weirdos in America that have nothing to do with the average population.

No offense, but posting all that makes you seem very defensive. If the poster said something you disagree with, why not say so, instead of posting some weird propaganda posters....

"When's their next KKK meeting, BTW?"

I resent your characterization of my great state.

If it were not for Tennessee rejecting Gore, and jerks like you, you would be saying President Gore.
Take you anti Tennessee garbage to some other site.

Typical bolshevik tactic you're using. Make the person out to be racist or a kook. Let's just wait and see how the story develops, why don't we.

[tricky_k_1972]

You know, that would make a great ad campaign:

"To all terrorists, Please don't rent our trucks, Thanks."

[Joe Hadenuf]

Looks to me as if they'd have been less conspicuous on the interstate. Doesn't make sense.

Not quite. Interstates are full of cameras, everything is recorded. Back roads have much less of this type of surveillance.

Typical bolshevik tactic you're using...

Speaking of typical tactics....

After 9/11 Fox and CNN both ran the stories for a couple of days about more than 300 Israelis detained. All of a sudden the stories dried up.

Duh....Can we say bogus reporting. Gee I wonder why they quickly dried up.

Hey! That graphic is a fabulous spoof of the anti-semitic nutters. :))

Really.

Uhm, maybe they were Arab Israelis...you sound like the idiot.

[Atomic Vomit]

Good one.

I like Tennessee. It is a nice state. And voted against Gore. For that, we should all love them.

Somehow, I don't think it would work. It would probably have the same effect as those cigarette packages in European countries that have the skull & bones printed across the front. Reverse psychology never works!

[TheLurkerX]

Seems like a stupid way to do things. Why would you carry the literature on you? Why bother with the Ryder truck, or if it was necessary, load it with garage sale furniture. Buy a white cargo van or something. Thank God that most of these people seem to be less than sharp. We might not have avoided a lot of incidents, otherwise.

How about the report that some middle eastern idiot in small town south Texas was asking around about various explosives abilities to blow up city blocks and taking photos of tall buildings in neighboring towns last month? Might as well wear a Foxworthy sign that says Stupid AND Terrorist.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Hey! That graphic is a fabulous spoof of the anti-semitic nutters.

It may be, but for someone to post it before the facts or the investigation has barely stated seems rather paranoid. Would you not agree?

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Don't worry, we know idiots when we see them.

I haven't a clue, I'm not privy to the investigation. However, I would just like to see some follow up articles regarding this incident.

i was wondering how long it would take to bring the bolsheviks into this story (can't have jews without bolsheviks)....but how does that meld with bilderburgers and international bankers? isn't that a major conflict of interests? or is uber=capitalism a form of communisn? and what about the grail? who's got it?

My favorite of all time: Conan O'Brien's hilarious skit, "Blame the Jews Feud." The scary thing is, it's not too far from the truth.
