That is a wonderful, helful guide that Jill has on her site from Shane. We should all print a copy. But, I think it will make you both more comfortable to know that Shane's piece has been around for quite a long while and I do not think Jill put it up to address any imminent threat. I mean, an imminent threat can come to fruition on the spur of the moment, but I do not think Shane or Jill want anyone to panic or to think anything specific is imminent.

I have my copy of that Shane piece since oh about the summer of 2002 or shortly thereafter. If Jill saw a specific imminent threat, I believe she would be explicit about it. I am certain she would want folks to print a copy of the guide and be prepared though. I would never mean to speak for Shane or Jill, and I am only going by the availability of Shane's guide 2 years ago or more and Jill's usual refreshing frankness.

I just do not want anyone to worry any more than they might have worried all along. We should always be prepared, but we should not read more into certain things than necessary. Not that doing that is an easy thing to do, because it is very difficult to discern during these hectic days.

P.S. Shane's site is where I stocked up on some potassium iodide pills right after 911. There is also a wonderful full length book that he offers for free reading and printing online called Nuclear War Survival Skills by Cresson Kearney. I found my treasured hard copy on ebay or amazon auctions just before 911 before I even knew about Shane's site. Then, after 911, I went shopping for the nuke pills and I noticed Shane has the entire book downloaded and available on his site for free or you can purchase a hard copy through him I think. His site is an absolute wealth of information on surviving a nuke attack and general nuke and radiation topics.

Weren't the jihad forums suggesting that the "attacks" would come 2 days after the communists' Big Day--which is May 1st celebration.

So we have more than 3 days :)

The jihadi's have been bragging about hitting the US for quite some time---years. What is worrying me is that we are seeing them put their plans into action.

Thanks Donna. I didn't take it for an "imminent strike" message. However, it did motivate me to think that none of us knows when "imminent" will actually be. That means its time to clean up my act and get the job completed. Putting things off generally is no big deal....unless it is one that could save your life and that of your loved one(s).

Good advice DL, I've seen many things that have been around, recycled and scaring folks like they are new
