very interesting....What a coinsidence.

[BurbankKarl]

hmm...listening to coast to coast last night, a caller said that Mossad was indeed operating in the country with the intention of eliminating Al Qaeda agents. Hence the police pursuit in TN, and then the base incursion in GA. They relayed how when the Feds showed up, they let the Israelis walk.

I am sure there is some law against our own agents actually terminating operatives, the ACLU would have a fit.....so turn a blind eye to allies in the WOT.

[Myrddin]

I wasn't able to catch Coast to Coast last night. Did they reveal anything important?

Quayle claims 3 fully functional nukes have been intercepted and removed from the Chicago area. He says the number of "sleeper" terrorists within the U.S. is estimated at 5,000 to 12,000. He claims the Mossad has about 12,000 agents in the U.S. who are likely targeted at the jihadis. Quayle points to power outages and refinery fires as likely tests of terrorist activity. A move is afoot to damage the U.S. economy by driving up oil prices and "disinvestment" in key industries. The Chinese are cited as complicit in the effort to damage the U.S. economy.

The official recap is on this page.

Both Quayle and Hagmann seemed irritated about official "hiding" of details that are available with respect to specific threats. The details are available and credible.

I missed the final 30 minutes of the show. That was the 2:30 AM to 3:00 AM slot. I had to get enough sleep to get up and work today.

I was wondering the same thing. David Emerson has been telling the world, very publicly, that they're HERE in this country. Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, etc... is the media playing shocked because they figure they can blame any pending attack on the failure of Homeland Security and Bush?

[cgk]

That's nearly exactly what David Asman said... it was a super quick break-in and it was over.

[freeperfromnj]

Thanks for the info......I think

[knak]

You guys gotta slow down. I can't keep up! 300 post since I was here last night!

When I got up this morning Fox news had a video clip? of some terrorists with a rocket launcher or something? Did anyone see this? What were they talking about? Was it just about the new threats?

[Letitring]

Playing catchup. I don't have any muslims here. Even the convenience stores/gasoline stations are owned by local families. Same ones have owned them for years. Nothing new.

We do have an Indian family (dot not feather). Over the years they've managed to blend fairly well.

My problem, if there would be one, could possibly come from the Louis Frakenan/converted prisioner (sp) monsters. :)

Don't see anything I could contribute to your database. Sorry.

jersey
can you post direct links to the discusions you are watching on TB 2000

[BurbankKarl]

Madonna probably offended some muslims in the audience!

I think the backup system failed as well.

I was looking this stuff up last night, too. Ever since the FBI comment that this would be the 'Summer of Terror', and now with yesterday's announcement ... (a la Poltergeist) "Theyyy're Heeerrrre!"

Here's the list I found that corroborates with yours:

WWII Memorial Dedication, D.C. : May 29
G-8, Georgia: June 6-8
Titan Games (pre-Olympics), Georgia: June 18-20
Nato Summit, Istanbul: June 28-29
Democratic Convention, Boston: July 26-29
Olympics, Athens: August 13-29
Republican Convention, New York: August 30 - Sept. 2

---

G-8 has been bugging me... I think Iran said they won't attend, because of "Iraq".

Here's what I found for that time period:

June 8, 570 A.D. - Religion of Islam founded in Mecca.
June 8, 632 A.D. - Mohammed, prophet of Islam (Koran) dies, according to tradition.

June 9 - Holiday Moslem : Ashura (Muharram 10, 1416 AH)

June 10 - Holiday Islam : New Year's Day (Muharram 1, 1415 AH)

I hate it when important events and Muslim holidays overlap.

Stopped Truck Has Mysterious History Container Has No Reason To Enter Alabama, Company Says

POSTED: 7:45 pm CDT May 25, 2004 UPDATED: 7:49 pm CDT May 25, 2004

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Though no explosives were found on an 18-wheel truck stopped Tuesday morning on Interstate 65, the potential homeland security scare has stirred up questions about the truck’s cargo.

The truck was stopped and searched by the FBI, as well as Birmingham and Gardendale police after authorities noticed the truck had altered tags. The search intensified when drug-sniffing dogs reacted to the truck’s cargo. The interstate was shut down in both directions for two hours.

The truck had the name Evergreen America on its side along with a container number. NBC13 ran the container number by the New Jersey company and discovered the container’s travel history.

On April 27, the container arrived in Tacoma, Wash., from Indonesia, carrying 128 pieces of wooden furniture. The container was then shipped via train to Chicago, where it was unloaded on May 15. Ten days later, the container was pulled over in north Birmingham.

Evergreen, the company that owns the container, said their records don’t show any reason why the container should be in Alabama. They claimed that a company called Bare Cartage picked up the container in Chicago. However, video obtained by NBC13 shows the container being pulled by a truck owned by Fort Dearborn. NBC13 contacted Fort Dearborn and though they could not explain why their truck was pulling a missing container, they did admit that they had been contacted by the Secret Service.

Please stay tuned to NBC13 for further developments concerning the appearance of this truck in Alabama. Link to Article

Earlier in the thread someone mentioned 6/11 as a date to watch as well. It's not any significant holiday or anything but they did hit twice on the 11th.

My earthlink spam blocker works pretty well. But I use Yahoo for nonsense like registering, and in between ISPs. There seems to be no stopping spam over there.

Fox news alert: "construction" explosion at St. Louis airport - 4 injured.

[appalachian_dweller]

I just list night connected a couple of dots:

Stolen firefighter uniforms + sarin or VX filled fire extinguishers = big trouble.

Also while I'm thinking out loud:
There was some road maintenance going on in front of my place last night, really late. If the terrorists can steal firefighter uniforms, I'm sure they could get their hands on Dept. of Transportation uniforms. Question: How would we know if the folks working on the roads are legitimate? Is there any coordination between Dept. of Trans. and the police. Should there be?
