When illegal aliens sneak into the USA in the dark of night, they don't pass under any inspection or muster of any kind. In fact, thousands of "other than Mexicans" including Chinese and middle easterners sneak over every week. So what exactly is the impediment to Spanish speaking Moroccans, for one example?

to have the money WIRED is to leave a trail ... did you ver think about that aspect?

Are you usually this obtuse or
do you relish being arguementative?
I cannot recall the name of their
"money exchange process" but Arab owned
neighborhood markets routinely serve as
conduits for cash transfers from individual
to individual.
It is common place for an Arab residing in US
to receive cash from sources in the Middle East
using this means of transferring cash.
BTW: YOU have your own (sic)
to have the money WIRED is to leave a trail ... did
you ver think about that aspect?

Good point. And the bigger the fire, the more powerful the updrafts, which as we know from last year can carry burning branches for hundreds of yards, to start new fires across interstate highways and so on.

Embers were starting fires over a mile from the lines in some cases due to the high santa ana winds. Not only that, they have hardly touched the millions of dead trees that were killed by the bark beetles. Add in the continuing drought, and it's a time bomb.

It makes perfect sense if you are a globalist that believes nation states to be obsolete, while open border one worldism is just the ticket. The government is full of this element, starting at the top. It's not like they make a secret of it.

My best friend calls me an isolationist. He doesn't grasp the fact that globalism isn't about free trade and travel. It's about one world, one culture, one government. American sovereignty be damned! Canada's new C-250 bill should be a wake-up call to Chrisitians ...it's the first step of many and coming soon to America. Ain't no room for Christians in the New World Order.

Terrorist operations can operate on many levels and in many forms, from long term university professor "sleeper cell" leaders, to short term throwaway expendables. Not all terror missions require flight school training and year of planning.

So yes, for some missions, crossing the border illegally would be perfect. Just one coordinator in the USA to provide a safe house, a briefing, maps, flares and old used cars, and a group of walk-in terrorists could go out on one-way missions such as the burning of our forests, or a one-time suicide "assault rifle" attack on a packed sports arena etc. (The "legal" coordinator could easily buy a number of perfectly legal weapons over a period of years.)

And keep in mind that if AQ is trying to get Bush dumped from the presidency, terrorist tracks leading to the "open Mexican border" would be a big plus toward that end.

The new firebreaks will probably have a positive effect on small natural fires, allowing them to be contained more quickly.

I am talking about deliberately set mega fires hundreds of miles long. The large SoCal fires last year leapt across interstate highways, much less logging road firebreaks! And the larger the fires, the more powerful the firestorm winds, and the further large burning branches are thrown ahead of the fire. So once mega firestorms hunfreds of miles long are set, logging road firebreaks will have exactly zero effect.

There is a lot of crap on the internet (I do mean crap) about the threat "Black Wind of Death". Some sites like this one...http://www.lampholderpub.com/ They think that the terrorists are after the Yellowstone Caldera (setting a strong bomb off to make it erupt).

But, I do believe that they plan to start massive fires out west. So many that we will not be able to contain them for quite some time. Setting the fires would be easy to do, IMHO.

Good Night!

Dr. Chuckleburg

Pet names so soon?

I didn't know you felt that way. I do like you, -Jim, but you're rushing it. Let's slow down and just be friends.

Okay?

Good point. I forgot about the gold-backed private money exchanges. They operate entirely without oversight or control, on trust and reputation alone.

But I think the kind of terrorists who will walk in will be lesser trained persons on short duration suicide missions. Enough money to live in motels for a few days will be plenty. Old cars and weapons will be provided them in Phoenix or Tucson or San Diego, and then they will be off on their short-fuse missions.

And a main point of their mission will be to unseat Bush, by blaming their terrorism on his unsecured borders.

I never really expected all this to be in our lifetime but at the rate of change we may see the whole show.

"Now, given that 11, March, 2004 is indeed 911 days since 11 September, 2001..."

That is incorrect (besides being goofy).

Thanks all for an interesting discussion tonight, but it's also past time for me to hit the rack.

Yep.
Terrorism funding aside,
they regularly transfer (launder)
money back to their homes and relatives
in the M.E. using the hawala system.

In addition, San Diego County is home
to the largest Arab-Muslim population
in USA outside Detroit and its
surrounding areas.

and they're going to WALK ACROSS THE BORDER with their pockets lined with this cash -

Yes, that was my POINT..apparently it sailed right over your head. Illegals don't exactly go through checkpoints.

to have the money WIRED is to leave a trail ... did you ver think about that aspect?

Yes, had you read my entire post, you would see that my entire point was that they can come across the border carrying cash...thus eliminating the need for bank records. Good grief!
