UPDATED - ALERT - Frightening Text Messages Being Forwarded Around NY Jews January 2, 2009 3:00PM EST: [UPDATE BELOW] With the situation in Gaza deteriorating by the day, and anti-semitism rampant around the world, thousands of NY Jews were frightened upon receiving the following text message which has been going around on Friday afternoon:
“A Jewish woman gave a tip to a Muslim taxi driver and out of appreciation he warned her not to go to Manhattan next week Wednesday.”
YWN has reached out to high-ranking members of the NYPD, and have stated that although they received the same text message, “there are no credible threats to be concerned about - and don’t even know where this text message originated from”.
The only message that they do have for the public is the same message that they have been saying since 9/11. That message is “always be aware of your surroundings, be vigilant, and if you see anything suspicious contact the police department immediately to report what you have seen”.
UPDATE 3:50PM EST: YWN has just spoken with NYS Assemblyman Dov Hikind who tells us that he has received various reports regarding this ‘threat’ and has personally contacted the FBI who is currently investigating them.
He thanked YWN for our alert to calm the public, and echoed the call for calm and vigilance at anytime and any location. “If you see something, say something,” Hikind said.
“The FBI and the NYPD take these types of threats very seriously, and investigate them thoroughly to ensure the safety of the public.”
May Hashem protect us from no harm - no matter where in the world we are located.

...Bathing on Aashura
RasoolAllah Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam said, ‘Whoever takes a bath (performs Ghusl) on the day of Aashura will be saved from all illnesses except death.’
Would that Aashura came more than once a year in that case.
...It rained for the first time. ...
This is interesting. Some say that the rainbow seen by Noah after the great flood was significant because they had never seen one before. Meaning, it had never rained before.
I've read theories that said the Earth had no water vapor in the air and water was all underground and some cataclysmic event released the water and caused the Great Flood of the Bible.
I totally agree. A few years ago there were only a few of this kind, now they seem to be about 1/3.
He has stated that these are people he knows well; and he is a someone who has been around here for awhile.
People shouldn't be reluctant to post information they believe reliable, especially when it is first hand information.
That is much different from posting information taken from other websites.
There were probably nuggets of info available before 911, had someone put the pieces together.
And how exactly did the taxi drivers know that the passenger giving the tip is Jewish? Did she announce her religion to the cab driver? Did the driver pick the fare up at a synagogue? Was the passenger dressed in Hassidic garb? I have no doubt that our enemies will attack us again at home, sooner rather than later, but I am not about to change my plans based upon third, fourth, and fifth hand information.
I’ve told enough people in enough posts
Some people on FR are complete idiots, that’s all
I didnt get my information from a chain mail
I got it from an anti-terror professional who is personal friends with Harvey Kushner, David Horowitz, Jayna Davis, Larry Baily, Bridget Gabriel, Walid Shoebat, Noni Darwish
He can call them at any time and use first names and ask how the kids are doing and get straight answers
I have been on this site long enough that I shouldn’t have to drop names to prove I didn’t make this up
But, like people have said earlier: this site has lost intellectual power, it has become filled with simple minded persons who lack critical thinking and sit on the sidelines instead of actually act and respond to the events we sponsored and then act like they could have done it better, despite the fact we’ve been doing this for over 10 years now, nationally, have friends within the national media who not only read our e-mails but use our tips on national syndicated shows, like FOX Business (One of my past e-mails from last summer was a story’s source)
Ya know, of all the naysayers on this thread, have ANY of them attended a Freep anywhere?
Have ANY of them attended a pro-troop rally?
Have ANY of them sent e-mails or faxes to our sitting senators or congresscritters over ANY issue??
So, ignorant people shoot down clear statements of direct evidence, received personnaly from mouth to ear, and somehow, by completly disregarding those facts, claim it “is an internet rumor”
and when I use CAPS to emphasis a point that needs to be remembered as fact or the basis for a fact, they react emotionally and call that shouting.
It’s no wonder FR never took off. Too many idiots have weighed it down.
All I did was report a legitimate threat. One that we confirmed today with the NYPD as being taken seriously, and also at JTTF personnel.
re-read Genesis 6
The fountains of the deep were opened up, meaning subterranean water
but it also rained, too
some now believe that the watervapor in the air may have been immense, it would have provided a covering from all cosmic radiation and also keep heat within
burn victims heal better in high pressure chambers, right? If we had a great vapor canoppy, we would have had a higher atmospheric pressure, greater heat, or consistent heat instead of varying areas of heat and cold
higher air pressure means more oxygen, constant heat means more growing seasons, all that with a vapor canopy that shielded out cosmic rays, that helps explain the long lifetimes of humans before the flood, vs the immediate drop in life expectancy from 500 years to 120, then 80
Place mark
RB, thank you for all of the information you posted. Please keep us updated.
I cant always be right, but I sure aint no liar! :)
Sunlight will kill bacteria, but will promote algae growth.
Yuk!
5 And every plant of the field before it sprung up in the earth, and every herb of the ground before it grew: for the Lord God had not rained upon the earth; and there was not a man to till the earth.
6 But a spring rose out of the earth, watering all the surface of the earth.
7 And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth: and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
From the Book Of Genesis, Chapter 8, Verse 2
2 The fountains also of the deep, and the flood gates of heaven were shut up, and the rain from heaven was restrained.
did I have that backwards?
I only know, I drank water from my truck that was in a bottle for over 1.5 months, I was desparate, and I got perrier’s revenge within 10 minutes
or is that poland Spring Sprung revenge??
Race, thanks for the post.
You have a valid point that has been noticed by many for a couple of years now.
The lack of civil, intelligent, sourced discourse has certainly gone up since the days of yore.
We can only hope that some of the effort of those days will come back.
His information is not from the Internet.
A female anchor on MSNBC just ended her segment with the words: “Pray for us.”
What the heck? MSNBC???
what was the topic?
Was she speakng about terror?
Was she in Israel at the time??
what was she talking about before that?
Bump
Old enough to know when I read vomitus.
