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!

I think they are vaguely alluding to something else. Whether it be biological, nuclear, etc., I was getting the impression that they (the terrorists) have capabilities that we (in the general sense) do not believe they have.
I read your link, but do not believe they are specifically stating what will shock the clerics or scientists, or why.

Here’s what I’m proposing (and what I plan on doing). Anyone and everyone who owns firearms needs to stand guard at the polls. Don’t count on the gov’t to provide extra security. I don’t think they will.

While I like the idea in theory, in practice I don't think that would go over very well. So many people are scared of firearms these days, just showing up with one will cause some major panic. I pretty much guarantee the cops would be on you very quickly. I wonder what would happen if you notified the county of your intentions to stand guard at the poll ahead of time.

P.S. Here in Oregon we are 100% mail fraud ballot. I hate that we have it, but I can see its usefulness now. LOL

Yes that statement?

Every state has its own version of Office of Homeland Security. Some of them are different from the state Emergency Management agency, and some are not. The agencies usually have several other agencies aligned with them to confront terrorism, and they have stand alone capabilities to confront large scale emergencies, believe it or not.

They are basically a repetition of the US Department of Homeland Security, and most of the time they directly interface with them on national security matters. There is a lot of redundancy at the federal, state and local level in Homeland Security matters.

These agencies do a lot of good work at the state level, but very few people even know they exist.

Good observation.

Bin Laden's Goal: Kill 4 Million Americans

Breaking from NewsMax.com

A new book written by a former FBI consultant claims that al-Qaeda not only has obtained nuclear devices, but also likely has them in the U.S. and will detonate them in the near future. These chilling allegations appear in "Osama's Revenge: The Next 9/11: What the Media and the Government Haven't Told You," by Paul L. Williams (Prometheus Books).

Williams claims that al-Qaida has been planning a spectacular nuclear attack using six or seven suitcase nuclear bombs that would be detonated simulantaneously in U.S. cities. You can get this book by Going Here Now.

"They want the most bang for the buck, and that is nuclear," Williams told NewsMax.

"I expect such an attack would come between now and the end of 2005," the author said.

In addition to writing several books on terrorism, Williams, an investigative journalist, has worked as an FBI consultant.

Williams' contention is not far from what U.S. intelligence believes, a source close to Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge has told NewsMax. The source said Ridge claimed that U.S. intelligence believes terrorists already have smuggled into the U.S. actual atomic devices, as opposed to so-called "dirty nukes" that simply are conventional bombs that help spread radiation.

The Bush administration has warned for years that terrorists pose a nuclear threat to America.

"It is not a question of if....it is a question of when," so claims the author of a controversial new book "Osama's Revenge: The Next 9/11: What the Media and the Government Haven't Told You," (Prometheus Books).

Williams says his "intelligence" concludes the most likely means of attack would come in the form of a so-called "suitcase (size) tactical nuclear bomb."

"The chatter that everyone is referring to is coming from the nest in Pakistan, a virulent nest in Iran, the chatter is all about nukes being here....the best bang for the buck is nuclear, they (al-Qaeda) know that."

Such bombs are estimated to have an explosive strength of approximately "10 kilotons" and could weigh less than 35 pounds.

"With today's technology and the Internet, an experienced person could easily assemble such a bomb in his home garage," Williams explained.

A bomb of that strength could easily level Manhattan and spread lethal radiation throughout the NYC-Metro area says the author. "It (the nuke) could render Manhattan unlivable for 1,000 years," he estimated.

According to Williams, several of the "suitcase nukes" are already inside the U.S. Some may have been smuggled in overland from Canada or Mexico, or shipped from overseas via container ships, he explained.

Another, more ominous method, was a throwback to the Cold War era.

Williams, quoting Russian military officials, says Moscow secretly slipped into the continental U.S. several suitcase nukes to be activated in case of the breakout of hostilities with Washington.

Today, Williams says many of those "sleeper" nukes remain in place because some in the Kremlin still believe a conflict with the U.S. is possible.

The author insists that Al Qaeda has "thousands" of sympathizers and numerous sleeper cells in the United States ready to carry out new attacks when given the OK.

Among the cities Williams says are vulnerable include: New York, Chicago, Washington, Boston, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Dallas, Valdes, Alaska (oil pipelines-shipping) and {{{Rappohoneck County, VA.}}}
~Paul is most definitely a TM'r~

Why a Small County in Rural Virginia?

Williams says it is the home of the underground command center the White House would move to in the event of war.

The author refers to recent comments made by Vice-President Dick Cheney as verification the nuclear threat from Osama Bin Laden is real.

He also points out that al-Qaeda and Bin Laden have publicly proclaimed their goal is to kill "4 million Americans."

Why 4 Million?

Williams claims that Bin Laden estimates that U.S. policy in the Mid-East and in Eastern Europe have resulted in the deaths of 4 million followers of Islam.

The author is at a loss as to explain why the White House has not taken more definitive actions.

"I cannot figure out why they (the Bush administration) have not done more to address the threat. Maybe they don't know how or hope nothing will happen."

He also blasts the U.S. mass media for not reporting the "problem:"

"With the exception of Fox News, the problem has received or little or no attention, despite comments from the Vice-President of the United States. Maybe they just don't understand what it is going on."

Williams says such nukes made it onto the black market after the collapse of the Soviet Union (1991) and during the following decade when Pakistan (with the assistance of China and North Korea) exploded its first atomic bombs.

Flush with cash from his secret Afghan/Pakistan poppy/heroin operations, Osama Bin Laden had the funds not only to buy such weapons, but the technicians and scientists needed to maintain and transport them as well.

Williams says his intelligence estimates that Bin Laden could actually possess "10 or more" of the suitcase nukes.

Recent reports from the Central Intelligence Agency could not confirm that such nukes may have been stolen, but could not discount the possibility.

Last month, the U.S. Dept. of Energy secretly removed a stache of highly radioactive materials from Iraq citing "security concerns." Washington would not disclose where in the U.S. the atomic materials were moved to, but did insist they were now in a highly secured location.

From the post on Jills site:

"And according to what the newspaper mentioned said Hijazi it ' the preparation for a terrific hitting takes place in the utmost of the boldness . And the unbelievers will suffer in this destructive hitting according to our calculations, more than is 100,000 of the losses in the souls ',"

And this from jerseygirls post HERE

"Sobering: 100,000 dead--WMDs--The coming strike on America William's Note: Sources have told me that the intelligence briefings given to select members of congress talk about plans for 100,000-plus casualties, WMD use (although analysts fail to use the N-word), and a general plan of horrors that the average American can't comprehend.
