Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - Thread Thirty-One

[nwctwx]

I agree it was an easy target. Indonesia is certainly one of the front lines in the WOT. The fundamentalist element is very strong there, in some ways I am surprised there haven't been more attacks.

Now, it could be JI acting independently... or it's part of al Qaida's coordinated sweep of the world. It would seem to make a difference where the orders came from, even if they are loosely affiliated.

Australia and the U.S. have been warned recently by AQ. If this was their strike against Australia (the original Bali bomb was)... maybe something is upcoming for us. Maybe the bomber at OU was supposed to be part of it, but I wouldn't bet on that. He was an engineer though, lots of engineers in the extremist ranks. If he was trying to take others out with him, he was probably homegrown.

Still, not so spectacular... I would think they want to top 9/11. Nukes would do it, I hope that idea ends up being completely wrong though. I'm with you, I'm not so sure it will be.

The self-righteous skeptics at FR are always ready to pounce at a moment's notice these days. We all know how trustworthy the MSM is. Seeing that we have so many of these skeptics that won't believe a story until it's on Fox News tells me that FR is overrun with phony conservatives.

Thank you cabal for being supportive. It good when people remember what it used be like on FR.

For important new clues on what may be behind last nights bombing I will refer everyone to the forbidden sight. We may be talking terrorism after all.

Thanks for that summation. Very interesting and yes, creepy.

Oh dear.
Knowledge is power and ignorance is bliss.
The JFK Center should publish in the local newspaper a notice BEFORE they have a big event with fireworks or...should they?

I wonder if this is a common event there?

Thanks for letting me know JellyJam.

I agree.

Hi Calpernia.
Just checked.
No new links to any explosions.
If I get something, I'll post it.

[Calpernia]

PhiKapMom said they (FBI/officials) were confiscating material from the kids apartment today. Could have been officials detonating materials used in making the bomb....or left overs.

I wish I could cook you a meal! Enough to share with all the cats.

I have been monitoring the main thread on the subject. Posters there claim the explosions heard this evening were controlled, by the area police. No word on if it is associated with last night's 'event'.

Thanks nw.

I got about 2.5 hrs of sleep last night before getting ready for church today because I spent so much time trying to find out fact vs fiction in Oklahoma. Hard media coverage was dismal, to say the least.

I should sleep good tonight.

[Calpernia]

night Cindy!

[Cindy]

Good night Calpernia.
Sleep well.

Interesting list of boating accidents with fatalities:

Still, not so spectacular... I would think they want to top 9/11.

IIRC, the warnings of the past spoke of a slow run-up. Small incidents leading up to the climax as it were. I would expect the cells to have specific missions, already mapped and planned. Already staffed and probably already in motion. But the third tier operatives might have been turned loose to take targets of opportunity to instill panic.

IF this is the plan, the MSM and the pols will only be able to spin it so much before even the dumbest bleating sheeple catch on and things really start going south in the economy, to start with. That will make the main event that much easier to carry off. In CHAOS there is OPPORTUNITY.
