“Are we not drawn onwards, we few, drawn on to new era?”
to be palindromic, should be
“Are we not drawn onward, we few, drawn onward to new era?”
Comment to FBI profilers: This was just a test. For those of you who did not notice that the last sentence was not a correct palindrome, what if Ayman or I was concealing a coded message by the added/missing letters: DRAW/S.
Such as: If intelligence analysis is art, criminal profiling as done by the FBI is drawing with crayons.
To take another example, what if KSM, who said publicly at his Gitmo confession that he beheaded Daniel Pearl with his right hand, is left-handed?
ZacandPook are the protagonists in a $2 million real treasure hunt called THE ALCHEMIST DAR. Pook is the author’s dog and means “fart” in Russian. The author’s last treasure hunt (involving $1 million) was called A TREASURE TROVE and was fantastic family fun.
In terms of talking about Amerithrax for a few hours over the course of Thursday and Friday last week, this beautiful and brilliant FBI agent was asking me about past treasure hunts. I told her being wrong is half the fun.
But do not treasure hunts such as Oak Island bring to those young at heart the joy of a good mystery? (Proposed answer to Oak Island: the treasure that is hidden relates to sacking of Havana in 1787 and hiding of loot by British).
Now if only Special Agent Michele would join me for a real world treasure hunt.
That’s right, ladies and germs, it’s time to revisit the CODE USED IN THE ANTHRAX LETTERS.
For example, KSM came to be head of the cell weaponizing anthrax for attacking the US. The group for which Ayman and KSM worked as As Sahab, meaning “Clouds.” The stationery containing the anthrax sent to AMI contained blue and pink clouds. Do we dismiss it as a concidence such as was done by some in the basement of Quantico? Or do we consider, with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, that the anthrax mailer was using code. I propose the latter.

Sacking of Havana was in 1762. Sometimes a mistake is just a mistake.
