Does anyone else have any info/rumor/hearsay/anything to add that you have heard from friends, spouses or other family members in any of your local regions?

Here's something I just posted on the TERROR ALERT RAISED thread:

...

Regarding the stuff I mentioned above, I really don't know very much at all. I sold something to a guy on ebay (some photographic stuff; my hobby is photography). He emailed to say that he'd suddenly been called to Miami on a personal matter for a few days.

I didn't know if I was about to get stiffed, or if the guy was on the level, so I looked into what I could find on him to see what I could see, and in a nutshell, what I could see was that he was a former airline pilot who works for an "aviation major" with a large presence in Miami. They are involved in various "support" roles for "the industry" (and IIRC, for gov't too). I don't want to say much more (not that I know much more) because I don't want to say anything that might help anyone ID the guy. I don't want to violate his privacy. I don't think anything I've posted violates his privacy (I don't think it IDs him or gives enough for anyone to ID him), but I don't want to say anything more about him.

I will repost this on that other thread in response to a post I read that's asking for this type info, and see if anyone knows anything. (Again, not anything to do with this person, but anything to do with sudden "measures" going on in that region.)

I'll ping you to that post too.

Regarding the topic in this thread, I'd add that I'm still kinda stunned by the stuff that was said by way of validating the seriousness of the previous alert -- now, suddenly consigned to the memory hole, as if it had never even happened. I'm talking about stuff like Tom Daschle being visibly shaken by what he'd heard in the classified briefings, and making it crystal clear that the stuff was so serious that even he could not possibly consider that it was politically motivated -- and this was in reply to a direct question specifically asking him if he agreed that it was politically driven.

Now, that was probably the most serious warning/alert since 9/11. And it was certainly presented as such at the time -- and "the time" was at most two weeks ago.

Now, it's just gone, in some Orwellian "who controls the past" style memory sweep!

It's been erased out of the "newsspace".

This is surreal, because when you consider that we're NOW being presented with another "most serious threat since 9/11" incident, you'd think they'd at the very least take the effort to mention the previous alert, which happened DAYS ago. (what was it, ten, twelve, fourteen DAYS ago, give or take?)

Like I said, surreal.

So, what I'm thinking is that when they take the effort to NOT "connect the dots", the one thing that's probably "certain" (as "certain" as these things get) is that "the dots" ARE "connected".

Any time they say "don't look THERE!" my inclination is to "look there". Hey, I'm human. :)

So, IS there a connection between the last alert, which was widely reported to involve a number of tactical nukes IN the USA?

I have nothing to go on but my hunches -- which are shaped by the strange way TPTB are acting, INCLUDING their psychotic "forgetfullness" about the very recent alert preceding this alert -- but, my hunches are screaming yes, there is a connection between the two alerts.

So, there's my two cents.

Great post Don Joe.

I think all these threats are interconnected in some way, it would be foolish for people not to connect the dots. Unfortunately, a lot of people want to look the other way because it is easier for them to do just that. There has been a steady increase in rhetoric from the enemy and worry within the government basically back to last winter.

This summer has been very telling, the threats continue to stream in. The remarks Daschle gave were on July 9 and are still very valid today.

I strongly believe that the level raising this weekend is somehow related to the threats we have been hearing about all summer. I strongly believe we will see more areas get raised threat levels in the coming days/weeks. The verdict is still out on tactical nukes, but it would be wrong to dismiss the idea fully.
