Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat

Thanks....added to Philly file.

I sure do remember this. Let me do some searching as I did save some info about this. Be back in a bit!

I'm not a member of TB2K, although I have been looking for a way to get a membership. I think it's a different freeper that you are looking for.

Re # 1102

Good tactical advice. I was aware of the difference between cover and concealment, but never thought of the lateral movement drawing your opponents eye and thus his fire. Thanks for that.

"Made me wonder why they want to belong to that group which appears on it's face as being the opposite of what islam is. "

Earlier on this thread I publicly renounced all the precepts of freemasonry as being ungodly. I am (was) a Master Mason and my wife was a member of The Order of the Eastern Star. One of the reasons I stopped attending my Lodge is the sudden influx right after 911 of middle easterners into the membership rolls. All that is required to join the Blue Lodge (lowest level of masonry) is a belief in a higher power. Allah is perfectly acceptable. Remember that Allah is just not another name for god. Allah is the name of another god. Islam is at the root of the highest levels of Free Masonry, the Shriners. How is that possible? See they give the equivalent of a MILLION DOLLARS a day to charity! They wear those funny little fezzes (red caps with a tassle) and drive funny little cars in those big parades.

I'm going to quote from a christian book: "Fast Facts on False Teachings" by Ron Carlson and Ed Decker, QUOTE BEGINS:

"The Fez itself is an example of the double meaning behind most of freemasonry's facade. Worn by every Shriner and even carried to the grave with pompous dignity, the history of the fez is both barbaric and anti-Christian. In the early eighth century, Muslim hordes overran the Moroccan city of Fez shouting 'There is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet.' There they butchered the Christian community. These men women and children were slain because of their belief in Christ, all in the name of Allah, the same demon god to whom every shriner must bow in worship, with hands tied behind his back, proclaiming him the god of his fathers in the Shrine of initiation, at the altar of Obligation.

During the butchering of the people of Fez, the streets literally ran red with the blood of the martyred Christians. The Muslim murderers dipped their caps in the blood of their victims as a testimony to Allah. These bloodstained caps eventually were called fezzes and became a badge of honor for those who killed a Christian. The Shriners wear wear the same red fez today, with the islamic sword and crescent encrusted with jewels on the front." UNQUOTE

If you have ever seen the emblem on a Shriners car, it is the Muslim Sword called a SCIMITAR and a star above it. I don't understand how a professing Christian can take and hold the blood oaths that they do....but then I did the same thing, until I was led by the Lord to study and research (I found the above quoted book as part of my research) and discovered I had allied myself (as has my Father-in-Law as a 32nd Level Mason) with the very root of all evil.

Fast-food Beef Tacos Blamed For Multi-state E Coli Outbreak
Thirteen people from Arizona, California, and Nevada who ate beef tacos from a national fast-food restaurant chain in 1999 became infected with Escherichia coli, according to a study in the June 15 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases, now available online. Epidemiologists found that evidence pointed to the ground beef as the problem taco ingredient. A strain of E coli, which can cause people to suffer bloody diarrhea and renal problems, occurs in the manure of some healt hy cattle; any meat that comes into contact with that manure in slaughterhouses can become contaminated. In this study, a slaughterhouse in Idaho was the source of beef that was distributed to several Mexican-style restaurants in California and Nevada. The single Arizona restaurant affected by the outbreak may have been supplied with meat transferred from Nevada.

New, Quicker Tests Identify E. Coli Strains

Ecoli can be killed by cooking ground meat to at least 160º F. When inspectors examined the restaurants' self-monitored temperature data after being notified of the potential exposure to E coli, the documents showed a flaw in only one of the restaurants' meat handling. However, that doesn't necessarily mean the other restaurants did everything correctly.

"The reality is that by time the illnesses are diagnosed, the reports are submitted to the health department, and the epidemiological study is completed, it could be weeks since the actual exposure to the contaminated food," said Dr. Michele Jay of the California Department of Health Services and lead author of the study. "Additionally, investigators are depending on written records from the food facilities that may be incomplete."

There are, however, potential solutions on the horizon to help combat E coli outbreaks. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service plans to phase in a tracking system over the next five years that would enable the tracing of meat products back to their sources. Such a system would also allow epidemiologists to compare distribution of human illness cases with distribution of the food in question.

In the meantime, doctors need to watch patients for symptoms of E coli and other foodborne illness, which may include bloody or prolonged diarrhea, weight loss, fever, and vomiting, said Dr. Jay. Very old, very young, and immunocompromised patients are more susceptible to E coli, and physicians should be sure to ask about activities that could have put patients at risk for the infection, such as eating raw or undercooked food, drinking unpasteurized milk, coming into contact with farm animals, or visiting a farm.

HHHHHMMMMMMMMMMM now algae kills..outlaw algae!!!

Early algae bloom invades river

By:Jane Weaver , jweaver@cecilwhig.com 06/15/2004

While the rain has been dampening picnics and canceling events, it has also helped produce an early crop of algae bloom on the Sassafras River in Cecil County.

The algae can cause rashes and blistering if it comes into contact with human skin. In addition, algae-infested water ingested by swimmers could cause diarrhea and vomiting.

Peter Tango, acting chief of the Quantitative Ecological Assessment Unit of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR), said the blue-green algae blooms have also been spotted in Kent, Harford, Baltimore and Charles counties.

Tango said this year's bloom is early and prolific.

"They're usually not here until July or August, not until the water warms up," Tango said. "It's pretty unusual for the level of blooms that we're seeing."

In past years, Tango said the blue-green algae has been seen on the Elk, Northeast and Bohemia rivers, but so far this year it has only been spotted locally on the Sassafras. He said the blue-green algae is common on lakes and farm ponds.

The blue-green algae doesn't like salt water. Tango said that's why it likes this end of the Chesapeake Bay.

Tango said the blue-green algae has a distinctive look.

"You might see what looks like green flecks of paint," he said.

In more concentrated blooms it can look iridescent. As pretty as it is, stay away from it. Tango said if the blooms come in contact with the skin it can cause a rash similar to poison ivy.

"You could experience rashes or blistering," Tango said.

He said that can happen to humans, pets or livestock.

Worse than the skin rash, Tango said swimming in the water poses a more imminent threat.

"Don't swim where you could swallow the water. It's not advisable," Tango said.

"If you swallow the blooms while swimming, it's going to cause flu-like symptoms -- diarrhea, vomiting," he warned.

There could also be eye and nose irritation. Tango said that's not the worst that could happen. At high concentrations the blooms often release a toxin into the water.

"That chemical if ingested attacks liver tissue," Tango said.

There have been no reports of such illnesses in Maryland.

"At the moment we're talking about being vigilant," Tango said. "We don't have any confirmed cases (of algae-related illness) and that's the way we'd like to keep it."

Tango said he knows the blooms killed a dog in New York and made one in Wisconsin very sick. He said even eating the innards of the fish from these waters could be hazardous. In certain cultures the innards are used to season soups. He urges caution.

"We know what the toxins do to the human liver," he said.

Until they know for certain, he said it is better to use caution when considering eating the liver of fish taken from these waters.

"This is becoming increasingly recognized as a health risk for fresh water fish," Tango said.

He said there is nothing that can be done to stop the blooms except to let nature take its course.

"We won't try to treat it," he said. "Treatments run the risk of creating other problems."

Those problems include increasing the risk of toxins being released, causing an upset to the food chain.

"Right now we're just monitoring the blooms, their direction and frequency," he said.

Tango said anyone who believes they became sick from eating an infected fish, or from coming in contact with the blue-green algae should call the Maryland Aquatic Health Hotline at 888-584-3110.

Sickened animals should also be reported.

Thank you for that information, extremely interesting and makes me wonder even more what is up in the lodge. Does this group give them another cover while plotting here in the US?

Kyla did save the following article which we discussed at length when the Flash Airlines plane crashed.........here it is. The link is gone, so I'm not posting that. (sorry it's a bit long but still a mystery as to what really happened, plus is relevant to the Mason theory)

His life was rooted in parallel worlds, and friends say Ashraf Abdelhamid traveled through each with equal parts savvy, style and mystery.

Last weekend, Abdelhamid, 42, was apparently in the cockpit of a chartered Boeing 737 that crashed nose first into the Red Sea. He and 147 others, mostly French tourists, were killed instantly.

The son of an Egyptian diplomat who made his home in Pacific Beach, Palm Springs, Cairo and sometimes England, Abdelhamid was a devoted Muslim and an astute San Diego businessman.

He was a dual citizen of Egypt and the United States, a committed husband and a one-time fighter pilot. He also was a Freemason, an intelligence officer for the National Guard, a security expert and a government-trained cavalry scout, depending on the circumstances.

News of his death has been circulating all week among San Diego pilots, business owners, Freemasons and other acquaintances, who described separate pieces of a complicated, enigmatic existence.

Abdelhamid's wife of 11 years, Madeline Witney of Palm Springs, heard about the crash on the news as she was driving to work Sunday and immediately began worrying that her husband was somehow involved. Later that day, it was all but confirmed.

"He was the sort of man who could hold court," she recalled. "If there were two people in a room, he could hold their attention; if there were 2,000 people, he could hold their attention."

Witney met Abdelhamid in San Diego in 1990. He was an Egyptian- born, divorced father of two girls, and she was a transplant from England. They married two years later.

"He was just dynamic, extremely intelligent," Witney said.

But even Witney admits there were gaps in what she knew about Abdelhamid. He was interested in many things and involved in endeavors of all kinds. There were long stretches of time spent apart.

She last saw her husband in September in London, where he caught a plane bound for Cairo and she was flying to San Diego. She spoke to him New Year's Eve and was counting the days until his return. He was due to arrive at Lindbergh Field yesterday.

An accomplished pilot who flew jets for the Egyptian air force when he was in his 20s, Abdelhamid was in Cairo to finish his commercial aviation training, his wife said.

His family owns Flash Airlines, the charter service shuttling tourists to Paris at the time of the crash, she said. The couple were talking about where they would live once he earned his license to fly large passenger jets.

No one from Flash Airlines could be reached for comment. The company did not return phone, e-mail and faxed messages. Investigators ruled out terrorist attack and pilot error as causes of the accident and instead are pointing to mechanical failure.

Friends say Abdelhamid was keenly interested in subjects and events the world over. He owned two businesses in San Diego, a janitorial service and a company that cleaned construction sites, they said. He worked on a master's degree in his spare time.

"We did a lot of talking about history, the ways of the world, general philosophy," said Fred Kleyn, a retired Navy officer from Spring Valley who knew Abdelhamid through San Diego Masonic Lodge No. 35.

"He was one of those guys that wears their clothes out from the inside," Kleyn said. "He was always in motion, always on the go, doing, thinking, very animated."

Abdelhamid worked part time as a security guard for the San Diego Convention Center between 1997 and 1999, and held current firearms, baton and guard permits from the state Bureau of Security and Investigative Services.

He also had a foreign-based transport plane pilot's license, although one friend said he lost his job as a cargo pilot after the September 2001 terrorist attacks because of his ethnicity. U.S. government officials interviewed him after those attacks.

"He was a Muslim and he flew planes, so yeah, he had a tough time," said Paul McMullen, a longtime friend who met Abdelhamid when the latter owned a security company that did work for one of McMullen's former employers, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.

"He made enough money in his business practices to pursue hobbies like you and I might pursue a career," said McMullen, who last saw Abdelhamid in August. "He went after things that most people never really pursued."

Dozens afflicted by strange illness at mall

OTTAWA - More than 150 people came down with a mysterious respiratory illness at the Gloucester Centre, Monday night.

The shoppers and employees in and around the food court, started to feel sick around 6 p.m. People coughed and sneezed, some felt nauseated and had trouble catching their breath.

The hazardous material police unit was called, and the Gloucester Centre was evacuated and ventilated.

Police say no one was hospitalized, but warned people to get medical attention if their symptoms persist.

Officials were unable to determine what caused the reaction.

Top Terrorist Killed; Carbomb Attack Thwarted
16:45 Jun 15, '04 / 26 Sivan 5764

A long-time planner of terror attacks against Israel met his end last night when Israel Air Force helicopters fired a missile at the car in which he was traveling. Another Palestinian terrorist was mortally wounded, and the driver was killed.

The Israeli attack, the first of its kind since the beginning of May, took place in the Balata neighborhood of Shechem (Nablus) in Samaria.

"The IDF will continue to take action against anyone who is planning, is involved in or executes terrorist attacks against Israeli citizens," according to an army statement released last night. Fatah Tanzim sources said they would avenge the attack.

The target was Halil Zoheir Rashid, 24, who was involved in some 20 attacks and attempted attacks. Among the terrorists he dispatched was a mother of seven children who was caught before she could blow herself up; the terrorist who wounded a soldier in the Liaison Office in Tul Karem last October; the cell that was to attack in Jerusalem last week; and many more. His attempt to blow up a carbomb with 100 kilograms of explosives outside an IDF post near Shechem late last year was thwarted.

This morning, on the Karni-Netzarim route in central Gaza, IDF forces saw an Arab car traveling on a road forbidden to P.A. traffic, and fired at it. The car crashed into a dirt barrier and then blew up, making clear that a great tragedy had been averted. The driver was seen escaping from the scene shortly before the car blew up, and he was arrested.

Only sometimes ;-)

Kyla and I discussed it at length when the story happened since we are both living close to where he and his ex-wife live/lived. I actually clued in our local news people here about the ex-wife. They interviewed her but most of what she said is in that article.

Just joining you from S. Central PA- ugh- yet another library.

Folks, I've been up almost all night- reading things that I printed out from TM, Mutter's,TB2000,Cliff Mickelson's posts on rumormillnews- including yet another carrier leaving,FAS, etc. etc.

I am guessing that many of us have come to a similar conclusion. I'm not adding the monetary information in here as it confuses me. All I understand is that our economy has apparently been infused with cash- which is to result in short term protection of some kind.

Here goes. Please bear with me. It has been a long night- ( and no "servesas" to ease the stress).

I hope I am wrong, need medication, sleep, whatever.

1. I do not believe that we have deployed our ships to avoid meteor impacts. I've read the pros and cons of such arguments and, IMO, the meteor hypothesis doesn't fit with many of the dots.

I believe we have deployed them in the initial phases of war. War with Russia/China/NK/Iran. War over- at its roots- a desperate need for Oil.

Some of the reasons:

Ships leaving to avoid meteor impact do not leave fully equipped for war (Hawaii post) nor do they have sealed orders.

Ships leaving to avoid meteor impact don't end up positioned in areas such as near Nigeria (courtesy of Mutter's)

Even if the impact areas were judged to be in the Atlantic, ships would not be moving to areas of potential conflict in the Pacific.

2. OIL: Apparently there was a meeting in Luxembourg a week or two ago. Those present discussed the need for maintaining oil supplies. (courtesy of mutter's, I think).

There is concern that SA might implode- as might Kuwait. AQ is trying to destabilize SA and may well succeed.

The ME is no longer a stable source of oil. Those countries that possess reserves are not necessarily allying themselves with the US. Iran, for example, has signed deals with Russia. The Saudi's- I believe- were signing or considering deals with China.

There is also concern that some of the ME oil producing countries are misrepresenting their level of reserves and their abilities to quickly refine the oil that they do possess.

In the meantime, Russia has signed deals with Venezuela and Mexico. I think China may be in on that, as well. Russia may well have mil. bases in Venezuela- also read something about them having agreements to launch space vehicles from--was it French Guyana? (sp.)

ISRAEL_OIL CONNECTION - I believe it was several months ago-ISRAEL reported that she had discovered a rather large reserve of oil.

This makes Israel even MORE important to the US as a strategic partner. Any threat to Israel becomes, in essence, a threat to the US.

THE US CONSIDERS OIL to be necessary for its survival. Any threat to its oil supplies constitutes a reason for grave concern. Any attack on precious oil supplies would be, IMO- reason enough for the US to go to war.

One of the carriers is going to- or is already located- off the Coast of Nigeria. This cannot be due to possible incoming space junk, IMO.

3. POTENTIAL WAR BETWEEN THE US AND RUSSIA/CHINA IS LOOMING, IMO Israel considers Iran a threat to her existence. Iran will not give up its nukes. Russia agrees Iran has a right to the nukes.

We all know Iran and Russia are allies- as are Russia and Syria. Iran- in several of the articles I read- pinpointed how it would destroy Israel through about 30 missile strikes, should Israel attack its nuclear facilities.

Iran is backed up by Russia. Any conflict between Iran and Israel is in essence a conflict between the US and Russia.

Russia and China are, IMO, in desperate need of oil supplies for THEIR own survival. Hence, they will act to protect THEIR interests.

We know all the other conflicts ready to flare up--China/Taiwan, North Korea, ad nauseum.

4. THE MILITARY "EXERCISES"-

Some thoughts here- and please forgive the tinfoil.

GPS "tests" are also going on in Alaska and in Ontario.

Statements announcing the "test" in Ontario noted that it was being done even at potential risk to the wellbeing of those depending on GPS for survival in the test area.

This suggests to me that the decision was made rather hastily- yes, it is a test- but imperative.

Then- WHY would the tests be so important- at this particular time- that the PTB in Canada would decide that potential loss of life would be regrettable, but acceptable.

IMO this suggests that there is grave concern GPS might be lost.

Since GPS depends on satellites, that suggests to me that the concern would be for disruption of those satellites. We must be worried that Russia/China/whomever could attack those satellites.

Russia has been quickly launching satellites recently. I'm sure we have been doing the same.

TINFOIL- The "booms" and "flashes" in the past weeks may well be due to OUR tests of our space-based weapon systems.Not to shoot down meteors, but to shoot down missiles headed our way.

Somewhere in all that reading, I saw an article saying that the US would be testing its space based military systems in the coming weeks.

OK- so what is exploding and falling out of the sky, and where is it falling?

I may well have gone entirely over the edge here- but other than a few instances noted- I think- in Russia- of a meteor crashing-

ALMOST ALL OF THE INCIDENTS seem to be occurring in the US and among its allies. New Zealand has had quite a few incidents. Could we be testing our defensive systems?

Sadly, I think it is more probable that we are doing that than testing our ability to destroy meteors.

-Yesterday someone here mentioned that their XM radio reception was horrific. XM is supposed to have perfect reception- Could something be going on with tests of SAT and ASAT weapons which accidently disrupted XM?

5. Last tie in- The AQ's. Now this is even more foily, but may fit the observations. Just a possible here.

Friday 6/11 was one of the big dates we were worried about- following the transit of Venus and that final EOM message on the 9th. Friday- there were reports of continuous fighter jet coverage- particularly along the East Coast.

Then- Saturday and Sunday and Monday- very few jet reports. Those days, the reports are all of large military helicopters in selected areas across the country.

I saw two such sets yesterday. One around White Plains/SW Connecticut- North of 95 and East of NYC. Could that be where Indian Point nuke plant is located? Just a possibility.

The second set was seen West of Allentown- to the north of route 78. Could this be where the Limerick, PA nuclear plant is located?

There were no copters seen around TMI- but it was too hazy to see much from the route we took in Harrisburg.

Then yesterday- there is a shut down of all 3 reactors in a plant in Arizona- a plant which has been on the AQ hit list for at least a year- according to the homeland securityUS.com folks.

So I am wondering if those helicopters could, in fact- be protecting nuke facilities from attack by air.

Please forgive me for jumping in without reading the updates, and for the length of this post!!! And please- ANY feedback would be greatly appreciated. I desperately hope that I just need some sleep, or perhaps a cold beer.

Please- you folks with military backgrounds and knowledge- tell me that there is NO WAY this could be possible. It's "just an exercise."

Prayers for everyone.

Pipeline Blast Stops Exports (Wednesday - June 16th...Iraq time)

From correspondents in Baghdad 16jun04

A PIPELINE blast near the southern Iraqi port city of Basra shut down oil exports from the area's two terminals, Basra's harbourmaster said today.

After the sabotage attack, oil workers tried to use an alternate pipeline, but it could not support the pressure because it was an old installation dating back to the 1970s," Captain Mowayad Hashem said.

"After that, exports stopped from Basra oil terminal and Khor al-Amaya." Link to Article

Iraq Oil Terminal at a Halt After Attack

Tue Jun 15, 2004 10:41 AM ET Saboteurs Hit Iraq's Oil Lifeline By Sujata Rao and Khaled Oweis

LONDON/BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi oil exports were close to a standstill on Tuesday after the second big sabotage attack in two months on the country's southern oil pipeline system closed deliveries from the main Iraqi export terminal of Basra, shipping and industry sources.

"It is true," Iraqi Oil Minister Thamir Ghadhban confirmed to Reuters of the attacks on one of two main trunk pipelines feeding the terminal on the Gulf. "There were two sabotage cases. We are assessing the situation now."

Local shipping agents told Reuters that deliveries to Basra were cut off after the attack. One said the targeted line had been "seriously damaged." The second trunk line, though intact was also closed, apparently for security checks.

"Apparently the blast has disconnected the flow to the tank," said another shipping agent. Industry sources in Iraq said repairs could take 10 days, costing Baghdad nearly $60 million a day at current market prices if no deliveries are resumed during that period....
