Israel is the long, long term goal and short term red herring. Rome and NY are the first targets.

Wasn't there an Al Quada message a while ago about taking out the "Throne of Peter"?

The subjective perception (based on reality) that the US is too centered in and bogged down and thinned out on the military and diplomatic fronts with Iraq, and then the objective actions of the USG re: Iran and North Korea, with acts that are tantamount to appeasement.

The combination of these two factors has emboldened our enemies, and we are seeing the fruits of this, which we would never have seen three or four years ago, IMHO, when "Axis of Evil" was the order of the day. Now it is "Can't We Just All Get Along" legacy building that makes me want to vomit at times.

Perhaps the puppet masters have decided to wind things up another notch.

Please consider the following from Whitley Strieber’s journal . . . I have permission to post hereon such from Whitley. Please check his website out . . . at least interesting stuff quite frequently:

Whitley’s journal cut&pasted
From Las Vegas Dave | 08/16/2007 3:15:11 PM MDT new

There was a report on this website recently to the effect that a number of crop circles seem to be pointing to August 18-19 as a date of some importance. One such circle even seems to suggest the interior structure of an atomic bomb surrounded by a crescent symbol.
Now, I am not much of a believer in UFO-related predictions, because I have seen so many of them come and go without incident. And I would hardly be surprised to find that nothing particularly extraordinary happens next weekend.

Nevertheless, there have been some odd indications recently that something might indeed be building in the world of terrorism. First, a few weeks ago, al Quaeda published a brief video that showed President Bush in front of a burning White House.

Then, over the past few days, the respected Israeli intelligence news website DEBKAnews published a story to the effect that they were picking up chatter from al Quaeda cellphones suggesting that they were going to engage in an act of nuclear terrorism in an American city.

Homeland Security took this seriously enough to deploy radiation counters in New York City, but nothing unusual was found.

It is also true that August 19 is the anniversary of the burning of the White House by the British on August 19, 1813, during the War of 1812.

Could it be that al Quaeda’s objective is not New York but Washington, and that they are going to try to attack the White House on the anniversary of its burning?

In my book “the Secret School,” I experimented with prophecy—not very successfully, if you look at the book. And I certainly hope that this particular one never comes true.

Because of the threat, though, the president recently ordered the entire federal government to create nuclear survival plans.

This was a step that should have been taken years ago, and it is very far from adequate. What would actually happen if Washington was struck by a small nuclear weapon that exploded—say—in a plane a thousand feet above the White House, would be that the entire center of the US government would be destroyed and immediately cease to function.

Within minutes, stock exchanges around the world would be thrown into chaos. Most markets would close immediately. Over the next few days, the US currency would collapse and gold prices would soar.

It would be likely that all three branches of the US government, not to mention the military high command, would be decapitated. The military is prepared for command decapitation, but it would still face complex, probably insurmountable problems of command control and, above all, supply.

Within a week, a combination of frantic cash runs and the inability of the Federal Reserve to function, would result in even the largest banks being without cash, and this problem would quickly spread abroad, with extensive consequences elsewhere.

Because of the fundamental mistake that there is no established plan to reconstitute the federal government from scratch, what would then happen is unknown. I recommended in the Secret School that a law be passed empowering the governors to select an interim congress and executive branch. But we have no such law, and therefore what would follow would probably be years of political confusion, economic catastrophe, and an enormous reduction in the power of the west.

And what if there was more than one bomb? Or if al Quaeda could make convincing representations that there were others?

The answer to that question is simple: with a single, small nuclear weapon, they would have won. And what they might then do, I can hardly imagine.

So, is this going to happen on the 19th? Probably not, but that does not change the fact that it might happen, and that our preparations to make sure that our way of life survives are so sadly inadequate. We need a National Recovery Act that clearly identifies just how the federal government is to be re-created, should it suddenly be destroyed.

And we need that act now. No, we need it yesterday.

= = = = =

It IS quite sobering . . . a host of Christian, governmental, news media etc. sorts of folks and groups have been warning of some serious stuff—likely nukes—for what—6-9 months now?

Evidently the puppet masters have been spreading the news???

The Jihadi’s are going to be directed/turned loose to do their dirty deeds AGAIN soon?

God have mercy on us and on all who Love Him.

Dave, thanks for the heads-up.

There are plans (remember the “Shadow Government” of a few years ago?) to have at least a functioning Executive branch in the event of a nuclear attack. I don’t know how far they are into implementation.

I’m sure W or the puppet masters have pushed those plans along . . . overtly or covertly.

We shall likely see.

God forbid, if possible, however.

We will win until we actually have to “produce” something. I guess all of the factories are still here, but does anyone know how to use that stuff to make other stuff?

I do know that in at least in some cases that I am familiar with that shut factories were stripped of their machinery which was then sold overseas (and at least in one case I know of it included machinery which was obsolescent even when it was installed almost 50 years ago.)

I have no idea how common this is, but I think that most owners of closed factories and equipment would be inclined to try to sell anything they could for whatever they could get rather than just let the facility sit idle.
