Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles - Daily Terror Threat

Monday, November 3, 2003
A new message was posted in the last few hours by the Jeddah-based al-Qaeda-linked Al-Islah (Reform) society calling on Muslims to flee New York, Washington and Los Angeles in advance of major al Qaeda attacks in those cities. This is revealed by DEBKAfile.
The message accuses the United States of predetermining its end (doom) by its policies. ?The Jews rule the Pentagon by remote control and (are the cause) of Muslims being killed in every corner of the world. The United States should therefore expect more blows.?
The message is signed on behalf of the al Bayan (The Threat) movement by ?your warrior brother, Abul Hassan al Khadrami?.
Our Muslim expert identifies the name of the signatory as belonging to a Yemeni from Hadhrameuth, the Bin Ladens? place of origin where Osama enjoys substantial tribal support.
DEBKAfile?s counter-terror sources stress that warnings appearing on these forums are taken both very seriously and with caution by the intelligence services keeping track of the terrorist network?s electronic traffic.
Last November, Jeddah-based fundamentalist forums addressed a message to an Al Qaeda member, saying whoever understands ? understands; whoever knows, knows, but we are marching towards an operation that will take us to Paradise. Three days later, the Mombasa Paradise hotel was blown up killing 12 Kenyans and 3 Israelis and a failed shoulder-launched Strela anti-air missile missed an Israeli airliner at Mombasa airport.

Hi, y'all!
I have just created a new discussion board to discuss EOM, Daleel al-Mohajid and other alleged al-Qa`eda members you might come across the net.
Discussion on the validity of the "e-terrorists" and such are encouraged and everyone who is interested in stopping terror is invited. Invite your non FR friends too!

«Des roses à naître sont cachées sous les pans de mon manteau» Muhammad Iqbal
"pans" = "panse," i.e., "belly?" (The yet unborn roses are hidden under the belly of my coat?)
Belly (of the beast); portmanteau = large suitcase. Just add the word "port" and we get "large suitcase."
Leapin' logic! Sounds like the "GO" signal broadcast in France just before D-Day.

History of that rhyme:
Surviving the Black Death
Adapted From: World History For Dummies
Europeans in the fourteenth century were looking at the world in a new way, seeing far-off places as desirable, worth finding out about, maybe worth acquiring. Yet before Europeans really got out and started taking over that world, there had to be enough personal wealth back home to make a decent-sized market for foreign luxuries. Oddly, it took a horrible disease and mass-scale death for that market to find a foothold.
The Black Death (also called the Black Plague), a devastating epidemic of bubonic plague and its variants, probably started in the foothills of Asia's Himalayan mountain range. But in the fourteenth century something happened to make disease spread perhaps the rise of trade. The disease lived in fleas carried by rats. Where people go, especially people carrying food, so go rats and their parasites.
When a rat died, the fleas jumped to another rat. When no other rat was handy, the fleas tried less desirable hosts. When those hosts were human, the people got terribly sick and most of them died quickly. An even more deadly version of the disease, pneumonic plague, spread through the air from person to person.
The blackish bruises that appeared beneath their skin were called buboes. That's where the name bubonic plague comes from. (Think of that next time you hear a child call a bruise a "boo-boo.")
Killing relentlessly
In 1333, the plague killed thousands of Chinese. The disease spread west. By 1347, it reached Constantinople, where it was called "The Great Dying," and it continued rapidly west through the Balkans, Italy, France, and Spain. Then year by year, the disease advanced northward. Within a few years the Black Death reached Russia, Scandinavia, and beyond, following the Viking trade routes to Iceland and completely wiping out Norse settlements in Greenland.
As many as 25,000,000 people died in Europe. Maybe a third of the people in England fell. Periodic outbreaks followed for centuries after, but the Black Death had an impact even beyond the horror and sorrow and the morbid fascination it inspired. (Many examples of art from this time focus on disease and death.)
The children's rhyme "Ring Around the Rosie" is much older, and much more morbid, than many modern parents realize. It goes back to plague times, when the "rosie" was a rash that appeared as victims first came down with the disease. "Pocket full of posies" refers to the erroneous belief that flower petals were a defense against sickness. The posies did sometimes help with the overwhelming smell of death. "Ashes, ashes," is from the funereal "ashes to ashes, dust to dust." And the final line, "all fall down" originally carried the understanding that few, if any, would get back up again.

Area between Louisville and Nashville known as cave country. shessh. There's alot of stuff going on underground, evidently. Dude out in Ca. built an entire garden underground. He was Italian, died in 1946, I think the site said. Oh well. I'll look some more tomorrow. Good night all and thanks for all your hard work.
Periodically, tunnels for purposes of moving people & drugs & whatever are discovered between Mexico & US.

Weird NJ also does all the telephone Pole "art" that appears atop the poles tween resevoir road and Canistear road. Since I live in Highland Lakes and work in Bergen county, I see it every day and it continues to expand.
Someone is still committed to dropping dolls atop telephone polls. The last one added as I recall is a Grey Alien.

I don't know if I can expand on that post, Calpernia. It is like verbal salad to me. I just made some word-associations, leaps of logic. Who knows what that cryptic sentence in French is supposed to mean!
That much being said, the word "belly" may be relevant: the concordance of "belly of the beast" with "belly of my coat." Also, the French word for "coat," "manteau," is a part of the French word for "large suitcase," "portmanteau." The word "port" (i.e., seaport) is the same in both English and French. The talk on this thread and elsewhere about "suitcase" nukes made me think of that. So "manteau" could allude both to a large suitcase and perhaps also a seaport. Or neither.
So maybe this could be a "GO" message meaning the ordnance is in port and operation is "GO." A hijacked airliner doing something spectacular might provide the "few minutes" preliminary warning and/or diversion promised by Daleel so we could watch our own destruction on our own satellite. Then they unload whatever they've got.
This line of "thinking" is way over the top so I just said "leapin' logic!"
