I did not speak on behalf of the thread. Rather, I gave my evaluation of the thread. I do not speak for anyone.

I offered to make contribution of $500 to charity of that information proved correct.

see Post 49 (this thread)
See Post 13694 (previous thread)

I was forced to put it in my children's college fund instead. However, if the U.S. Government comes out and releases that we have OBL, and we have had him since the time that was first posted, I will double that contribution to the charity of the poster's choice.

Of Course, we will all be dead from AQ nukes, or my assets will be seized by the communists in the take-over. But I will keep some in the mattress just in case. LOL

I just reread your post, I still hear you speaking on behalf of others. And it is condescending.

You don't like the topics here, there are plenty of other threads. None of us find the subjects amusing. And I can assure you, many of us have better things to do.

There are serious events at hand. We didn't manufacture them.

So, please, find another thread if our topics bother you so much.

I like your safety clause. You know there will never be an announcement of WHEN he was apprehended. Just like we will never have an official announcement of when Saddam was.

Leave -- no sir. I covered this a few times. I love the thread. I have been here for over 21,000 posts. I am too invested in the process now.

Besides, you only have to put up with me through February 21. Or was it feb. 5, or feb. 4, of feb. 2, or the super bowl, or New Years, or Christmas, or Thanksgiving, or the 9/11 anniversary, or the forth of July?

Lighten up dude. AQ is serious, and most of the people here appear to have legitimate concerns and a desire to help. That's great. Me too.

But when I see things that are a bit nutty and off the beaten path, well, I like to chime in.

I hate to bring this up but Daleel told everyone on that It's happening board about this tape on 1-23-04. Was it released by then? I hate giving the guy any credit.

Iraq's Top Cleric Survives Assassination Attempt
37 minutes ago Add Top Stories - Reuters to My Yahoo!

By Khaled Farhan

NAJAF, Iraq (Reuters) - Iraq (news - web sites)'s most powerful Shi'ite cleric, Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, survived an assassination bid on Thursday when gunmen opened fire on his entourage in the sacred streets of Najaf, a security aide said.

The assassination attempt comes days before a team of United Nations (news - web sites) electoral experts is due to arrive in the country to assess the feasibility of holding early elections along the lines that Sistani has demanded.

In fairness to me, I can't be expected to pay up 2 years from now if someone jumps up and says -- there, I told you we had him the whole time!!

The legitimate offer I made was based on my hope that the info was correct, but my belief that it was not. It was a risk, because I damn sure would have paid. Now that the 72 hours has passed (I picked that time because I do not believe the U.S. could contain or would contain the secret any longer than that), I would need to see some proof that the original information was correct. That surely does not seem unreasonable.

"I have a long way to go."

Yes, you do, especially if you check the other posts on itshappening.com, the EOM_Daleel thread on Yahoo and a few other sites which escape me at this time.

You see, scaremongering and rumors are very effective in maintaining the momentum. The issue is momentum. Maintain the momentum and the hits to the site will materilize. What an opportunity of a lifetime!

In the meantime I'll wait for Sean to post his proof that OBL has been captured. I had made a request and I'm sure he won't disappoint us. Anxiously awaiting...

Not really, just a small recap of some of your pithy comments:

"Of Course, we will all be dead from AQ nukes, or my assets will be seized by the communists in the take-over. But I will keep some in the mattress just in case. LOL

However, there are some folks here that have guzzled the conspiracy and rumor cool-aid, and thoughtful analysis is not the remedy for their self-induced anxiety attack.

I am going home for tonight. I look forward to the next chapter of the "Empire strikes Back" tomrrow

Some of the stuff here is simply nutty.

But when I see things that are a bit nutty and off the beaten path, well, I like to chime in

I have picked-up on this thread about 1000 posts ago. It is hard to follow with many tinfoil hat wearing nuts..."

You're actually well on the way.

72 hours? When did anyone say the announcement would be in 72 hours? My source said it would be sat on for at least 3 weeks.

Welcome.

Good post. Shows you are thinking. Who knows who is right, but it's fun to speculate.


I don't see any gain for Russia from destroying the US.
They are not run by idiots, therefore they must realize we don't threaten them.

Their relationship with China and N korea is not so comfy. China is a big threat to them and is growing stronger every day. NK is insane, but is kept on leash by the Chicoms.

Islam hates the Russians, as well as the Chinese, and us and Europe too. Basically they want to wreck everything.

I imagine the russians are able to manipulate them somewhat, but don't have that much control. I guess China has much more influence, since they have far less of a border with Islamic states and plenty of money and new weapons to distribute. Islam makes nothing so they will lick the hands that feed them weapons and material.
For now.

Basically, The Russians need to pretend to be friends with China, but are preparing for betrayal and to defend themselves.
They try to manipulate the Moslems too, where ever possible, to buy more time to prepare.

Islam takes help where they can get it but plans to turn on each of their allies as the opportunities present themselves.

China wants to dominate the globe, and is well on the way to doing so, with assistance from Islamic nutjobs, South American Commie leaders and Narco-terrorists, and the many, many traitors within our own government. China does not see the US as a Golden Goose, but as a village of fat, rich,greedy idiots who should rightfully be plundered (accomplished) and then destroyed.

As their "allies" outlive their usefulness they will be taken over or liquidated.

One mustn't forget the idiots in the EU. What do they have, if not dreams of past glory to sustain themselves? I figure them as so far from reality they can't see it from a mountaintop. But they will side with anyone against us, as their hubris allows them to believe they can control things to their own benefit and come out on top. Like the other powers, they try to manipulate their allies and enemies in hopes of pushing them against someone else. They are just stupid and arrogant enough to start the fire themselves if they don't fracture themselves before then.

Latin America would like to play too, but they are never going to be anything but someone else's tools. That's not to say that we will never face a hundred million man army on our southern flank. In fact, with just the right amount of bad luck, that could happen.

In summary, everyone is playing a game of preparation for the big event. They all plan to outsmart the others and at the last minute, pull the rug out from under their enemies and allies alike.

The big deals in WWIV will be assymetrical warfare and treachery.

I've covered a lot of ground and skipped a lot, but I have great difficulty in typing so I am usually too brief.

Look forward to reading more from you.

We all have children here and I felt this an important interjection on the subject matter because no matter what we tell our kids, often they do not listen! I am sad Carlie took that shortcut through the parking lot, she did not deserve this! But let's face it we need to scare our kids into knowing all the things a kidnapper will use beyond the cute little dog and your parents sent me.

{{{Keep your children safe from strangers}}}

Former FBI agent Clint Van Zandt offers street-smart advice for parents and children to guard against abductionUpdated: 12:11 p.m. ET Feb. 04, 2004

The abduction of 11-year-old Carlie Bruscia is every parents' nightmare — you're not there, even for a moment and a stranger approaches your child. Would your child know what to do? There are precautions you can take as a parent, and information and skills you can teach your child to prevent an abduction. Former FBI agent Clint Van Zandt lectures on child and family safety and offers the following tips to keep your children out of harm's way.

Do not get into any car unless your parents personally tell you to do it.

Stay away from anyone who follows you on foot or in a car. You do not need to go near a car to talk to the people inside.

Grown-ups and other people who need help should not be asking children for help; they should be asking older people.

Grown-ups should not be asking you for directions or to look for a "lost puppy" or telling you that your mother or father is in trouble and that they will take you to them.
Quickly get away from anyone who tries to take you somewhere and yell or scream: "This man (or woman) is trying to take me away," or "This person is not my father (or mother)."

You should use the buddy system and never go places alone.
Always ask your parents' permission to leave the yard or play area or go into someone's home.

Never hitchhike or try to get a ride home with people unless your parents have told you it is okay to ride with them.

People should not ask you to keep a special secret. If they do, tell your parents or teacher.

Tell anyone who wants to take your picture, "No," and tell your parents or teacher.

No one should touch you on the parts of the body covered by your bathing suit, nor should you touch anyone else in those areas. Your body is special and private.

You can be assertive, and you have the right to say, "No" to someone, including adults and even relatives or friends who try to take you somewhere, touch you, or who makes you feel uncomfortable in any way.

Many parents use a special code word that only the child knows to convey a message should someone other than a parent ask a child to accompany them anywhere.

You can have your child practice a special yell. It is low, loud and long. It tells the person trying to hurt the child, "I know what to do! I'm not an easy victim!" It tells everyone within the sound of the child's voice, "I need help!" It gets the child going, it breaks the spell. A child should not panic and freeze, thereby becoming immobile in an emergency. When you yell you take a deep breath, thereby getting oxygen and energy to your brain and muscles. A child's yell can give him (or her) courage and get his feet moving to run away.

Going beyond this I will say for our kids to know self-defense, even the basics could save their lives. My kids were taught young and it pays off!

This animal looked to have a gun in his right hand he pulled out of his pocket and I've told my kids better to yell FIRE and how to pull away from a creep and get shot maybe in the leg etc at a distance! This guy does not wan t o draw attention to himself by shooting!

Great point.
I, for one, no longer see the chance of a happy ending.
The sheeple are far too dumb, and the plan has gone too far, to be stopped or turned back.

Sad.
