Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - Thread Twenty-One

[The_Reader_David]

We also have the analysis of a line in one of the replies on the 'Sweet Islam' board to the post BC passed on via the Tracking Terrorism website: 'three lamps west, two lamps east' (or something like that) indicating three sunsets and two sunrises from the time of the post.

Was this passed on the Homeland Security, too? I've not gone back to look at the post with the date stamp, but someone said that it could indicate an attack on the 7th if one takes the time from the posting. (Is that sunset on the 7th or sunset on the 6th?)

I've got to run. Tell us on the thread if you pass this on, otherwise I'll write an e-mail of the discussion this afternoon to send to the FBI. (I hope it's not too late.)

I googled "Arabic septar" and got this oil drilling company as the first thing -I was expecting romantic poetry!!

I know a lot of people who are expecting romantic poetry and end up with a drilling rig.

Wait a minute, this ship is delivering underthings to Dolly Parton!

[RepublicanArmy]

I am sure they do...

3 lamps east and 2 west where she stops only

---

knows.

That's the correct text, possibly implying 3 sunrises and 2 sunsets, or the third dawn after the posting which was 7:47 A.M. on the 5th. If that was Eastern time, the sun had not yet risen over Texas, so the third sunrise would be on the 7th.

Too many variables to be sure, so I welcome any further information or correction.

"three lamps in the west, two in the east"


Think of targets.... major ports with tankers or refineries on the water.

[SlowBoat407]

that too, but to reiterate (since I transposed them in the first place), it's:

" 3 lamps east and 2 west where she stops only

---

knows."

I hate to get a bad interpretation because I was too tired to write it correctly last night.

"Port and starboard lights"


Is it possible to use these as a trigger mechanism? I'm thinking about that signalbomb thing-a-ma-jig found on the freight rail line in southwest Philly.

[SlowBoat407]

Marker lights on vessels are burning constantly, so it would be hard to use them as a trigger. Signals for bridge lifts include radio calls or horn blasts, and some channel markers flash at timed intervals for identification.

At least the Netherlands is beginning to wake up.

http://www.washtimes.com/world/20041105-111203-2758r.htm

THE HAGUE — The Dutch government yesterday vowed tough measures against what a leading politician called "the arrival of jihad in the Netherlands" after a death threat to a Dutch lawmaker was found spiked with a knife to the body of a slain filmmaker by his radical Muslim attacker.
......
Deputy Prime Minister Gerrit Zalm agreed with comments by other politicians who called Mr. van Gogh's slaying a declaration of Islamic jihad, or "holy war."
"We are not going to tolerate this. We are going to ratchet up the fight against this sort of terrorism," he said. "The increase in radicalization is worse than we had thought."
Among measures under consideration is an emergency law to enable authorities to revoke the Dutch nationality of dual citizens suspected of terrorist activity so that they can be deported.
.......
Jozias van Aartsen, parliamentary speaker for the nationalist People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), the second-largest party in the government of Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende, issued a statement that called Mr. van Gogh's slaying tantamount to a declaration of war.
"The jihad has come to the Netherlands and a small group of jihadist terrorists is attacking the principles of our country," he said. "I hope the Netherlands will now move beyond denial and do what is fitting in a democracy — take action.
"These people don't want to change our society, they want to destroy it," he said.
..........

Headline for above article:

"Netherlands braces for 'jihad'"

On the last tape we saw OBL does look ashen, and uremic from chronic illness. Along with the possibility of a broken nose, aging and some illnesses and immune conditions can cause the nose to coarsen and thicken.

In Boston - a very eastern area in the US - the LNG tankers come right into the harbor and up river to Chelsea. They go past the Boston financial district, the Fidelity trading installation, Old Ironsides and the condominiums where the Boston Bin Ladins lived. It's been estimated that if one of them was hit that the entire downtown Boston area would be destroyed as well as Logan Airport and beyond. IIRC the area destroyed would be at least 5 miles in diameter. Every time they bring one of those ships in (about once a week) there is high security. Most of the LNG depot locations are in less populated areas. Does anyone know if Houston has LNG tankers?

Was called into work today.....Checking in and setting placemark.

Nothing usual to report around here.

Excellent discussion and analysis as of late.

Welcome to TM SlowBoat40, WKUHilltopper, The_Reader_David. Glad to have you folks aboard!

There is a wonderful doctor named Burzynski in Texas

In South America there is/was a doctor named Arigo, known as doctor of the rusty knife. There is a book about him and his wonderful skills. For some reason some are gifted with supernatural skills and the world is better for it.

Hmmm,
Beginning to think too much time has passed with this new tape business. I'm beginning to smell a rat.

Well done everyone with the analysis of my post from the other day. That was quite some collective brainstorming!
