"POSSIBLE SURVEILLANCE TESTING TACTICS" Police bulletin reports K-9 cops on high alert over "suspicious packages pattern." Five empty suitcases left at Penn Station, FBI headquarters and other hot spots: 3,000 police with bomb-sniffing dogs will sweep 3,000 subways and trains entering Penn Station after warnings terrorists may be preparing Madrid-type attack on railways. (NY Post) PATTERNS OF GLOBAL TERRRORISM said terrorist attacks in 2003 down from 198 in 2002 to 190, but up from 77 to 88 against U.S. interests. Figures exclude Iraq.

Hi all,
I've been very busy lately looking for a job and tending my lavender, which is doing nicely BTW.
On ABC radio tonight, John Loftus was trying to say something to the effect that Kadaffi will be spilling the beans in New York this coming September on his cooperation with Iraq to build nuclear weapons. Batchelor kept cutting him off, so I didn't get everything Loftus was trying to say.
Basically, it sounded like we are keeping the wraps on all the nuclear stuff we found at Tulwaitha (which was just shipped back to the US a few days ago) because no one will believe it if it comes from Bush. By letting khadafi tell the story, it will be viewed as legit, coming from a muslim source.
This brought me back to one of the old pics from early in the year, with the bull that had a face on it that was bleeding over New York and had bin laden in a suicider vest. I know some thought that the face was khadafi. A dot revisited?
Would this make any sense? The warnings we are getting now refer to an attack in Europe with the big nuke attack on New York in Septemeber?
I don't know if Khadafi's revelations were going to be in connection with the Republican Convention or not. Like I said, Batchelor kept cutting Loftus off.
Anybody else know anything about Khadafi being scheduled to speak in New York for any reason in september? A UN speech maybe?
On another note, I did a quick google on the Treaty of Westphalia and found some interesting historical notes.
It seems it is viewed as the basis for the modern nation state as this quote states from
http://www.nixonfoundation.org/nrc/011114Westphalia.shtml
"The Treaty of Westphalia of 1648, which ended the Thirty Years' War and upon which the modern system of nation-states was based, will be displayed for the first time ever in the United States when "Secret Treaties: Tools and Artifacts of Diplomacy" opens exclusively at the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace in early 2002."
Later, the article states that with the advent of the European Union, the treaty has been broken:
"The Peace of Westphalia gave birth to a fragmented central Europe rather than a unified continent," said Charles Frazee, Professor of Church History at the Episcopal Theological School at Claremont (California), Professor Emeritus of History at California State University at Fullerton, and historical consultant to the "Secret Treaties" exhibition. "It took 300 years, Bismarck's wars, and now the creation of the European Union for that treaty to be broken and to reverse the international order it established."
I don't know if it really means anything, but it struck me as strange.
That's an interesting one Revel.
