LUCKY THREAD NUMBER:

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.

We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm

Meet It!
Greet It!
Defeat It!

SOmetimes a watermelon is just a watermelon. Seedless or non seedless.

Dunno. But they're in jail.

[Cindy]

You know, to me it doesn't look the same.
There are similarities.
I could be wrong.

However, I do see a lot of graphics whereas it's pretty clear the designer of the graphics makes a multiple batch for a variety of topics. The jihadis are big on clouds, skylines, and the moon.

[Cindy]

Exactly.

[Cindy]

Ditto, 100%.

[milkncookies]

I'm filing this one for decoding future messages.
Thanks swarthyguy.

[Quix]

IC.

Welllllllll, I've certainly had my suspicions!

If you care to share speciulations by FREEPMAIL, PLEASE DO.

Or on the TP thread.

A TM poster yesterday connected the dots in a way I had not thought of before: "Cave of Darkness" could easily mean a night with no moon. Saturday, July 17, has no moon.

Recall that they tend to actually attack 2 days AFTER the threatened date. The July 15th threat date is two days prior to the new moon.

[swarthyguy]

NO sweat but be aware it's my speculation.

Personally, jihadi messages should only be read with beer.
Easier to take that way.

Otherwise, avoid them, since their purpose is to scare and terrify.

Most of 'em are hot air. And we'll never know the real ones til after the fact.

But the recent msg about oil companies rings true to me visavis Saudi.

At least we are trying to do something here. We read, we learn, we discuss, we report, whatever it takes, we are doing the best we can. But how many of us are there? How many others are doing nothing? How many terrorists are there? How many explosions will there be? How many more dead will there be? ...WE are yelling and screaming watch out, do something, don't ignore all these things, stop the judges and lawyers from protecting the bad guys. Help!!! PC cr@p will get us all killed. </rant BBL

WCG, I sometimes think we are playing the role of Cassandra, from Greek mythology, here.

No one listened to Cassandra when she tried to warn of dangers to come. No one is listening to us either. We're a whole bunch of Cassandras begging for someone to listen, but no one is.

"In one memorable example, Cassandra announced the dire consequences of the Trojans accepting the infamous Wooden Horse from their Greek opponents. But as Apollo made certain, no one believed Cassandra when she warned her companions about the future. And this, in the end, was to be Cassandra's tragic fate."

2 In Custody After Device Found (Iowa - July 15th)

Stop Made On Interstate 80 POSTED: 8:19 am CDT July 15, 2004 UPDATED: 8:34 am CDT July 15, 2004 COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa -- Two people are in custody after law enforcement officials said they found a bomblike device in the couple's SUV.

The Joint Terrorism Task Force was called into help, which includes the Secret Service, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms, and Explosives, and the FBI, was called to help.

The traffic stop happened just east of Council Bluffs on Interstate 80 near mile marker 16. Investigators said they pulled over a Ford Explorer with two people -- a man and a womanwere -- inside .

The Iowa State trooper became suspicious after finding some items inside the SUV, including a device they thought might be an explosive. The Omaha Police Department's bomb unit was called in to help and bomb-sniffing dogs did not detect anything.

The FBI said one of the two people in question had multiple forms of identification. They believe the two are from California. They have not been charged.

Ok. I suppose I should pack up my little toys and go home. Game over.

Wait... Defiance in the face of defeat is an American Tradition!

It's always proper to give the finger to the firing squad.

Anyway, I'm not going to be pessimistic about it. We are at least informing each other, if nothing else. A little reassurance would be nice, but I'd rather TPTB worry about the goblins and not my emotional fortitude.

[Velveeta]

Thanks anyway, Cal.

SP, would you know if the Osama message that has been bumped to the top of the Arabic forums is one originally from Feb. 1998?

If so, that's the bin Laden message which parallels Pope Urban's "crusader" speech.

....then, something about "White" has shown up, right??


Does "Blanc" mean white?


***Pope is at Mont Blanc on vacation until July 17th***

[Velveeta]

You know, to me it doesn't look the same.

Good. Thanks for checking.

[TBall]

Hopefully the Iowa State trooper was doing some profiling.

Red Cross Issues Urgent Call for Blood Donations

The Associated Press
Published: Jul 15, 2004

WASHINGTON (AP) - The American Red Cross is issuing an urgent call for blood donations, saying parts of the country have less than a day's supply and some hospitals are postponing elective surgeries to conserve.

People with Type O-negative blood, the universal blood type, are particularly needed, but the Red Cross urged anyone who's eligible to donate: people in good health age 17 or older, who weight at least 110 pounds.

Summertime blood shortfalls are common, as regular donors go on vacation. The Red Cross calls this year's shortage particularly bad, reporting less than 46,000 units of blood on shelves Thursday. Anything below 60,000 units is considered a critical shortage; an optimal inventory is 100,000.

Two-thirds of Red Cross regions report having less than a day's supply of O-negative blood, said spokeswoman Stephanie Millian.

The Northeast seems particularly hard-hit, and the Red Cross had advised hospitals in some states to postpone non-emergency Type O transfusions as a result, she said.

The Red Cross supplies about half the nation's blood.

America's Blood Centers, which supplies the other half, says 20 percent of its reporting centers have a day's supply of blood or less. It hasn't yet issued a nationwide donor appeal, saying its supplies are creeping up slowly since the July 4th holiday.

To donate: Contact the Red Cross at 1-800-GIVE-LIFE or http://www.givelife.org, or America's Blood Centers at 1-888-USBLOOD or http://www.americasblood.org.
