HOMELAND INSECURITY

Backup electrical systems failed to kick in

A mysterious power failure at Logan Airport that delayed dozens of flights for more than five hours has still not been explained – six days later.

Airport officials insist airline security was not compromised during the blackout Monday at Logan International's Terminal E, but backup electrical systems failed to kick in as they are programmed under such circumstances.

"As in---potential escape routes?"

Possibly. Actually, my thought was that the support structure was being planned to be located out of danger, but close enough to respond quickly.

I wish I knew. I am just posting what I find. The most consistent over years has been the NY DC stuff.

Maybe Global Islamic Media is pure disinformation

I still think it is worthwhile to look at what they are saying...

[hotrod45]

i agree with you--totally worthwhile. didnt mean to come off censoring you.

this whole aljernaan thing is one of the more fascinating subplots. there's definitely, imo, something big going on with that. anyone familiar with the history of this website?

I'm looking at that map again since I didn't have any caffeine the first time and only had one eye open (post 532 for anyone wondering) and there does seem to be a very rough alignment with the red cross list of cities... don't like what I see regarding Alabama & Mississippi!

What are the translations for the words and what is the significance of the two white patches separating sections of the west as opposed to the dark slashes separating the rest of the country?

If you think it's important, I'll look. I'm really not personally convinced that it matters, but I'll trust your judgement.

This is from NyQuist on the Final Phase. I don't belong there- but have read there for many years.

Sean Osbourne Lomax often posts there- here no longer it seems. His premise seems to be that the Russkies are definitely in cahoots with AQ- and I tend to agree.

Now this fellow Nyquist really seems to know his stuff. I am too intimidated intellectually to join their board- but here is what he has to say, and I think alot of us will find it interesting:

""Everyone missed Topol M's important point. It is worth considering. While the standard pre-cursor nuclear spetsnaz attack as described by Suvorov would involve decapitation and paralyzing blow to America's early warning and nuclear command and control, the actual plan may be different -- and less risky for Moscow.

If the CIA is blind, as we know it is, then a grey terror nuclear offensive might serve the purpose of destroying the dollar, crashing the U.S. financial system, which would defund the U.S. government and set the right and left in this country at one another's throats. Any offensive from China and Russia could come much later, exploiting the resulting social chaos in the U.S.

The result of a tactical nuclear terror attack on seven U.S. cities would be, first and foremost: The Republic would be over in all but name, but more importantly, Americans would no longer be held together by prosperity. The domestic basis for peace would be shattered. The post-Christian spirit of our country would then be unveiled in all its glory.

Carl Jung described the post-Christian spirit as "a false spirit of arrogance, hysteria, woolly-mindedness, criminal amorality, and doctrinaire fanaticism, a purveyor of shoddy spiritual goods, spurious art, philosophical stutterings, and Utopian humbug, fit only to be fed wholesale to the mass man of today. That is what the post-Christian spirit looks like."

Imagine the immediate political ramifications for a U.S. attempting to recover from a grey terror strike that turns the dollar into stuff for wallpapering bathroom stalls. Imagine the many ways this could be exploited.

This is one possible way of analyzing what this could be about. "

Aljernaan seems to morph with every post. If you read back far enough, she was a blonde British chick medical doctor trolling various boards for lesbians/bisexuals, a life style that would probably get her stoned to death in the AQ/OBL/Islamic world that she now claims she belongs to. Then she became a hard-line AQ Jahidist, even though OBL seems to have no use for females beyond the kitchen and the making babies stuff. Of late, she seems more academic, journalistic, and almost apologetic in her posts. I can't figure her out.

[hotrod45]

i wonder if she's cute. blonde+british+doctor=awesome!

had to add a little levity

Chemical antidotes has got to mean Atropine or Amyl Nitrite. Atropine isn't really an antidote, it's just about the only drug that can stabilize a victim of nerve agent poisoning until he can be properly treated. IIRC Amyl Nitrite is an antidote to a cyanide based blood agent. Atropine is usally dispensed in single dose self contained injectors.

Thanks, I haven't even heard about this story. Guess I should pay more attention to local news. ;)

WONDERFUL TIMING FOR CHINA TO MOVE IN

China plans 'mock invasion' of Taiwan; War games fuel tension


BEIJING (Agencies):



China made sure Tuesday that Taiwan was in no doubt that it will be the target of military drills this month when state media publicized the usually secretive exercises that coincide with ballistic missile tests.

China believes Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian will push for formal statehood after winning a second four-year term in March and is readying for a showdown with the island, which Beijing has claimed since the Chinese civil war ended in 1949.

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) is to stage a mock invasion of Taiwan this month, with SU-27 fighters battling for air superiority and supporting an amphibious landing in land, sea and air exercises on Dongshan island, less than 300 km (200 miles) from Taiwanese soil, state media said.

The Russian news agency Itar-Tass said China had notified Russia of plans to test-fire three ballistic missiles this month.

The missiles, including the long-range Dongfeng 31 and the medium-range Dongfeng 21, would be launched from the northern province of Shanxi and land in the Taklamakan desert in northwestern Xinjiang, a distance of 2,500 km (1,600 miles), the agency said.

In a riposte to the long-planned Dongshan drill, Taiwan is holding annual exercises in August to test its combat readiness in the face of what Defense Minister Lee Jye has said was a significantly higher likelihood that China would use force to recover the island.

Beijing's official China Daily said the war games off Dongshan were a response to tension across the Taiwan Strait.

The start date would be decided depending on weather conditions.

Two Taiwanese fighter jets will practice emergency landings on a freeway as part of the island's measures against an attack by rival China, the defense ministry said Tuesday.

Two French-made Mirage 2000-5s will land, refuel and load ammunition on the road in Tainan, southern Taiwan, in the July 21 drill.

The exercise is designed to "check the air force's capability in using freeways for emergency landings and logistic support in case of war," defense ministry spokesman Huang Suey-sheng told reporters.

Also:
WASHINGTON: Knowledge of "Go," an ancient Chinese game of strategy, could help the United States better grasp the military thinking of its biggest potential rival, a study published by the US Army War College says. The study, by a Chinese diplomat who defected to the United States, is part of a series meant to spur new ways of thinking about US national security. "Go" - or weiqi in Chinese - is said to be the world's oldest and perhaps most demanding board game. Two players compete, typically on a 19 X 19 line grid of points, using black and white tokens called stones.

Moving on many fronts, competitors vie for territory, staking out spots they want to own. They surround, poke, invade and parry, forming a map of the contest of two minds. "A little knowledge and experience of the game of "Go" will be a valuable addition to the American political and military wisdom," says author David Lai, who defected in protest at the crushing of the 1989 Tiananmen Square democracy movement.

Reference 1407:

Whoever wrote that analysis is definitely a Cold War veteran with a grasp for Soviet strategic doctrine.

The Soviets had a policy of equipping anyone who would help them along towards their ultimate goal.

example: If a commie in Paraguay wanted a Surface to Air Missile and it helped along Soviet strategic goals in Paraguay, they would hand them out to the commie and let them use them. When the commie got results and achieved victories, the Soviets would move in en masse and consolidate their victory, even if it required killing the original commies who helped them.

Its nothing to dismiss..thats for sure

A few months ago, someone posted some links to some of her early posts and there was a photo (not the one of her in the fatigues), and assuming the photo was her, she was blonde and cute and the phrase "lipstick lesbian" came to mind.
