KHOBAR, Saudi Arabia - Tens of American, European and other hostages were released Sunday and a gunman believed to be the lead Islamic militant holding them was arrested, a Saudi security official said, adding that two other gunmen were "in the process of being arrested."

We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm

That was an afterthought to previous post to Brthshaya.

The muslims will be forcing thru all kinds of new orders, it has begun here, they seem to think we are ready for them to take over or will soon be.

I have been finding more and more of the 'rulers' ordering the muslims to vote and to run for office.

Read this article, it isn't new, but still tells us a lot.

"9-11 fallout: muslims fall back from seeking office"

http://www.religionwriters.com/public/tips/082602/082602c.shtml

I did not check for other articles, should have, but am not seeing again.

this came from a google search for:

who are the elected to office muslims in the United States?

You will find many links that will surprise you, with this search.

"So what is the short-run solution?

"There really isn't one," Humphreys said."

How's that for an honest assessment? As they say, perception is reality.

Looking forward to the information Jill, but please be very careful. I have grave concern that people within agencies that have such arrogance and power will not want you to "steal their thunder." Such agencies may want to "control" the release of information and may stop at nothing to do it (especially in light of their recent intelligence failures). If anything jeopardizes you personally, please take care of #1 first - we need you to help us know what we face, but your personal safety is needed in order to accomplish that.

More on the Saudi killers, this says that it was an American they drug through the streets.

"Saudi Commandos free dozens held at resort, 22 dead -241 rescued".

[MamaDearest]

My fear for Jill is that some over-zealous "intelligence" person may not want us to know everything going on out there. We know via this thread that many incidents and illnesses are happening and the stories are suppressed for whatever reason. IMHO we cannot be too careful these days. If I sound paranoid, then I apologize, but it's hard to be calm when you know people co-exist all around us in our own country who would behead us in a heartbeat.

>>>Is the cutting off of heads to become the normal method of killing in America?

That was announced that Berg was not the last to be beheaded.

Not even an excerpt allowed, but here is local news about G 8, right where it will happen.

FBI Following Less than Dozen Terrorists

NewsMax Wires

Sunday, May 30, 2004

The FBI is only actively following a dozen or less al-Qaeda terrorists suspects believed to be in the U.S., the New York Times reported Sunday.

The paper said that evidence cited by Attorney General John Aschroft and FBI Director Robert Muller at their press conference Wednesday indicated that al Qaeda was "almost ready to attack the United States" -- was vague and less than substantative.

Information gathered by the paper from federal sources found:


The FBI is following only a handful of potential terrorists. "The number is believed to be small, perhaps no more than a dozen," the paper said.

The FBI still has an unclear view of how al-Qaeda operates in the U.S., but believes its agents may operate under two plans. The terrorist group either sends agents into the U.S. before a major operation, as they did before Sept. 11. The second method may use sleepers - "terrorists who live somewhere quietly for a long period, waiting to be summoned to carry out an attack."

None of the seven people identified at the Aschcroft/Muller press conference are believed to be in the U.S.

The terrorists are morphing to confuse law enforcement agencies. The FBI believes terrorists may pose as "Europeans . . . who might try to conceal their purpose."

The intelligence suggesting an imminent attack was "received in the last six weeks" and "had indicated broadly that Al Qaeda hoped to launch an attack in this country later this summer." Previous reports of a similar nature have been found to be baseless in the past.

The Madrid bombings. While intelligence agencies discovered little "chatter" before the train bombings, they did detect significant chatter after the attacks. "After the attack, officials said that they detected chatter, a term referring to communications monitored by intelligence agencies, indicating that extremists were surprised by the political impact of the bombings, which helped topple the Spanish government. Al Qaeda regarded the attacks in Spain as a success that could be repeated in the United States."

"The FBI is only actively following a dozen or less al-Qaeda terrorists suspects believed to be in the U.S., the New York Times reported Sunday."


OK, what about the thousands more living among us that you guys have no idea about???

More NY Slimes propaganda.

[StillProud2BeFree]

Agreed.

There WAS information on the Madrid bombings on the internet. It is still there for anyone who cares to search for it.

The published the exact plans for the attack this weekend in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia.

They have clearly stated the date of the next major attack. I won't post it here (or anywhere else publicly) because I won't be accused of sensationalizing or fear mongering. But the postings (plural) and all relevant information has been forwarded to the appropriate authorities.

Well then, how about a private message to those with interest? : > )

Maybe it's time to panic about gas
Not that $2 a gallon is pricey, but production peak is nearly here.

By Robert Little
and Lorraine Mirabella Special to The Morning Call

May 30, 2004

Breaking the $2-a-gallon gasoline price barrier was unpleasant, and your lightened wallet may be eliciting visions of Nixon-era rationing and fill-up lines beyond the horizon, but geologists and economists think the industry and the economy will be just fine. Gas is cheap, they say, when you consider the rising costs of everything else.

But another consensus has emerged among the experts: This might be a good time to panic anyway.

The problem isn't that gasoline prices are too high but that prices over the past decade have been far too low, this reasoning goes. Americans have forgotten how to conserve and the energy industry, always hungry for profits, spent those years neglecting its refineries and distribution systems and all but ignoring the frightening reality that the planet may actually be running out of oil.

The consequence is a growing imbalance between the world's increasing thirst for fuel and the oil industry's increasing difficulty providing it — a problem that could lead to economic mayhem, price swings, gas shortages and pump lines that make the 1970s seem like a comparative utopia. This new crisis could strike in 30 years or five years or even three months, depending on whom you believe. And this time, 1970s-era answers like a 55-mph speed limit or a trans-Alaska pipeline won't be any help.

So while you're fretting over your broken budgets and the horrors of a $40 top-off, some industry analysts think you should also give thanks that America's commuter society is finally getting a decent jolt of gas-price hysteria.

''Trust me, this $2-a-gallon price will be a blessing,'' said Matthew R. Simmons, a Texas banker who specializes in the petroleum industry. ''We should be worried about energy in this country, and maybe this will get people focused.'' (SNIP)

Not this either:

Please reconsider and give us the date. Pretty please. A hint...a bone....something to prepare and be on the lookout for...do it surreptitiously if possible...We won't respond, acknowledge or make a big deal of it, we will just be silently aware.

By the way, I recall those stories by some FBI folks who claim that the Arabic translators working with the FBI are not really helping us. Do you believe that? That could be what is hurting the FBI if it is true.

[milkncookies]

I read somewhere (Can't remember offhand) that the story had changed to an American being dragged through the streets. I do not know how accurate the report is.

[Rushmore Rocks]

Me too?

[Selene]

Ok, that makes the second American dragged behind a car in SA in the last few weeks and the Media is still on Abu Ghraib:

[MamaDearest]

Sobering post you made. Activists at the G-8 concerned about excessive law enforcement. Can you even picture what it might be like without ANY? Stupidity runs rampant with activists I swear!

[MamaDearest]

OK, what about the thousands more living among us that you guys have no idea about???

Perhaps if they ignore the problem, it'll go away?
