FBI urges vigilance for July 4

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A constant stream of intelligence indicating that al Qaeda wants to strike the United States this summer or fall has led federal officials to urge increased vigilance during the Independence Day weekend, but there is no specific threat of an attack timed to the holiday.

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

Meet It!
Greet It!
Defeat It!

ATF: 200 Pounds Of Explosives Stolen From Storage Facility
Explosives Discovered Missing Over Holiday Weekend
SAN MATEO, Calif

Oh this is comforting! The details are worse - 800 BLASTING CAPS.

This area is a hotbed of terrorists IMO.

"The thief or thieves, who carted away about 200 pounds of goods in all, stole 800-900 commercial and military blasting caps from the facility near Crystal Springs Reservoir, according to ATF spokeswoman Marti McKee.

Additionally, 1,700 feet of "det cord," used for detonating other explosives, was taken, as was 75 feet of "det sheet," which McKee described as a dough-like explosive material that can be molded into different shapes.

Also missing are 114 pounds of binary explosives and 30-35 pounds of C-4 military explosives,"

The Osama statement calling for the truce was released on Al Arabaya on April 14. There was another statement released in May where he offered the 10000 gram gold bounties for the heads of Bremer and others

Web Site Operator Banking on Virtual Confusion to Help Al Qaeda Plan Real Terror

 

 

     Using a confusing maze of false addresses and telephone numbers to avoid detection, a web site operator who apparently wants to make people believe he's based in Seattle and California is helping Al Qaeda get its message of terror out to millions.

 

     On Monday, a radical  Islamic website ( www.hostinganime.com/neda2/sout/tag13.jpg ) published a statement purportedly from Al Qaeda threatening to attack Western aircraft and places frequented by Westerners in the Arabian peninsula.

 

        Agence France Presse (AFP) provided a partial translation of the message.

 

     "The (residential) compounds, the bases and the means of transportation of the Crusaders, especially Western and US airlines, will be the direct target of our next operations ... We reiterate our warning to our Muslim brothers against the presence of the Crusaders including Americans, Westerners and all other infidels in the Arab peninsula ... The Muslims should isolate them completely ... We renew our warning to the security services, to the guards at the housing complexes of the Crusaders and at the American bases and all others who are on the side of the Americans and against the mujahedeen and to their agents in the Saudi government."
 
     Although a special agent from the Phoenix FBI recently told a reporter that agents feel the operator of the site(s) has been "used" by the terrorists, an individual who calls himself "Mike Smith" and is reportedly behind the sites has laid a thick trail of false information to make sure that he is not found.

 

     According to its current Internet registration, the contact information for Hosting Anime is listed as 8939 S. Sepulveda Blvd. in Westchester, CA 90045. However, the building manager for that address said that Hosting Anime is not located at this address.

 

     That is also the same location as the one used by www.namecheap.com, an Internet name registration service operated by Richard Kirkendall.

 

        Reached by telephone last week,  Kirkendall's mother Irma Hernandez said her son lives part of the year in France and could only be reached by e-mail, but she explained the location situation by saying that the Sepulveda address is a mail drop she rented for her son's business.

 

     Additional investigation revealed that Hosting Anime is registered to "Mike Smith" supposedly of Seattle Washington. However, a phone number listed for Smith was for Seattle's Wharfside Pointe Apartments. The apartment manager said she didn't know anyone called Mike Smith.

 

     During the last few months, Smith has also provided other addresses and contact telephone numbers for his registrant site contact (which in addition to Hosting Anime include among others www.darkfiles.net and www.onefreehost.com ). A call to one Seattle number listed  was answered by an woman who said she knew nothing about terror and was a very peaceful citizen.

 

     However, an individual speaking on condition of anonymity who called a reporter soon after may have shed some light on the puzzle. He said his teenage son, who has been in trouble before, may have been somehow involved as the telephone number given was for the boy's grandmother and the address given was for his (the father's) home.

 

     The source said, "I'm shocked for both me and my mother.  I don't know what's going on. I really don't have any idea but my son plays around with computers a lot."    
    
    Due to personal reasons, the individual said he was initially unable to contact his son to find out for sure whether or not he was responsible. However, he later called a reporter and said he had been told indirectly that his son was cooperating with the FBI. 
       
     That could not be confirmed, as a call requesting information to an FBI special agent at the bureau's Phoenix office who is familiar with Hosting Anime was not immediately returned. 

 

     In addition to the threats of upcoming terrorism, the last two beheadings of innocent victims by Islamic militants have been shown on the free web site pages of www.hostinganime.com .
 
    Citing free speech (and now backed up by a court victory in another case), the operators of Hosting Anime continue to make available at

 www.hostinganime.com/iraqnews1/index.html
the gruesome beheading video and still pictures of 33-year-old South Korean translator Kim Sun-Il.

 

         Hosting Anime also hosts a number of other terror related sites. They include:
www.hostinganime.com/gim/GIMfaroq.htm , www.hostinganime.com/neda2/page/new.htm ,
www.hostinganime.com/neda3/sout/index.htm and www.hostinganime.com/meshawir/aljhad.html

 

         Pictures of engineer Paul Johnson after he was beheaded are still prominently displayed on
www.hostinganime.com/neda3/sout/index.htm , and www.hostinganime.com/neda2/page/new.htm is a web site with the same design and graphics as an al Qaeda site formerly known as www.alneda.com .

 

     Commenting on the company's apparent hosting of these sites, a Hosting Anime  company official commented on a company forum site; http://forums.hostinganime.com/viewtopic.php?t=176         In that forum, Hosting Anime was asked on June 18, "Did you know your services are being used as the official web page for the group that beheaded the American in Saudi? I would hope your company is smart to remove this site from your database."

 

        A Hosting Anime official initially thanked the individual for bringing fact that to his attention.

 

     However, when the site remained on line, another letter was written to Hosting Anime, (sic) "This is ... pathetic. Delete it already. Block the freaking IP address. QUIT ALLOWING TERRORIST WEBSITES TO BE HOSTED ON YOUR SYSTEM FOR DAYS BEFORE YOU GET RID OF THEM. Block this IP, find all other ones, block them. You are American? Quit letting them spread their message unless you agree with what they do."

 

        He received a shocking response ( http://forums.hostinganime.com/viewtopic.php?t=176 ) from Hosting Anime.

 

        "We will look into this manner when we have time, this is a free hosting company, and there are no profits being made, so that we can afford to sit and review all emails/abuse reports as this takes a large amount of time. Please give us time to get that done, in the mean time, please take the first amendment into consideration, free speech, just because you don't like the content of a site does that mean it should be shutdown?

 

        "An email sent to me this morning I think is worth posting on the subject:
"‘Hey, screw those people that didn't like the site. They didn't have to go there to begin with, and whoever accused you of supporting terrorism has totally lost it. What about us who want to know why these people think the way they do and act the way they do ??? It's about communicating and I think it SUCKS that you cave to a few that would rather just throw a blanket over their head's and hope when they lift it off themselves, everything will be just fine. It makes me SICK !!'
        "As stated, we will take a look into this site and see what can be done in good time."

 

         In response to a further complaint, the Hosting Anime System Administrator wrote, ( http://forums.hostinganime.com/viewtopic.php?t=176 ),

 

        "Thank you for your additional comments on this matter, nothing can be done at this time, we will review the site and decide what is best.

 

         "If you have looked at some of our users web pages, you will see that there are no banners/pop ups on our users pages, that means no income. If you don't want me to use that excuse, what excuse would you like to hear? It's either I lie to you or tell you the truth, I have told you the truth, if you don't accept that, feel free to imagine whatever you would like."

 

     Hosting Anime appears to host its terror sites by renting space on the servers of the Houston based Everyone's Internet, which has hosted sites in the past for groups such as the Hamas.
    

     Everyone's Internet did not return a number of e-mails seeking comment but did generate an automated response which read in part, "We have received your report of possible abuse of our network resources. The current number of notifications that require investigations limits the number of personal responses from the staff to senders and this might be the only response you receive regarding your notification; however, we do investigate each report."

 

     In addition, when asked if EV1 administration would respond to an e-mail seeking answers about the company's continued relationship with Hosting Anime, a receptionist said, "If they're interested they will contact you. All we say is that they're unavailable and we can take a message."

That sounds interesting, HipShot. We couldn't have any liberals on the committee that sorted through the info and decided what was permissable to release and what should be classified. We know how much the libs work against our country and want the whole world to have power over us.

I keep thinking about how peeved the government must have been with the media when the underground bunker under that hotel/inn/resort was splashed across the newspapers one day many years ago! I still can't get over first finding out about that back in 2001. I think the person who leaked that info and the media involved should have been sent to jail and they should still be in jail. They wasted taxpayer money which built the bunker. I am certain they were liberals (the paper was). Now, that should have stayed classified.

And also, on the other side of the political aisle, when Orrin opened his Hatch and revealed how usama bin laden was being tracked by his satellite phone. I cringed. He WAS otherwise a smart man, until that. The media and lawmakers should know better. Ug!

The Mormons are who first told me about Jesus being here, but with real study of the old Indian books and archeology books from the library, you will find more proof that the "White God was here", that has no connection to the Mormon's.


Either the Mayan or ? and Montezuma both thought so.

They expect Jesus to come back and it is in the writings/drawings.

It isn't a thing that I needed to worry about, I figure if we expect God to cure cancer and stop a nuclear bomb, then he had no problems with the travel plans of Jesus.

I can't give any value to the muslims plans, as I feel it is a part of the take over of the country.

I even went so far once to go to a trusted Indian Elder and ask about the Mother Earth that we have.

She is not the pagan mother earth, nor even Holy.

She is Mother Nature and used to remind us that we need to give thanks for all that we take from the earth, but not in a God like class.

I don't worship her, but do smile at her once in a while.

There is so much, just as my Mother used many recipes that I later found in herb books (she could barely read and not books, ever.)

I laughed when the green tree people decided that cornmeal was the best fertilizer and soil conditioner, I wasn't the only Indian in the crowd laughing, as there were many who
had used it always, as we say "Giving back to Mother Earth".

Enough, I haven't done Cal's Black wind google search lately.

See if you can tell from Jills site if there are any
UBL statements that might be more recent.

Thanks

Please feel better, Davey.

[HipShot]

Yup. I don't mean "feel good" info, I mean stuff like "help us figure out what this means".

The problem is the bunker mentality. Departments kept information from each other. Supposedly HS got rid of that, but I'd like to know that the data flows both ways from HS.

[HipShot]

J/K. I needed the workout anyway. :)

I've got some scanned document image files that were part of the site download. I have no idea what they are.

Sho nuff. Whatcha need?

OBL's most recent statement was in May - nothing since then. His most recent one was issued May 7 and that was the one calling for the bounty on Bremer, Annan,and Lakhdar Brihimi. Got the translation I did right here.

"I wish we had a TM poster that lived in England or Europe. Would be interesting to see is muslims are scarce over there."

MadIvan, are Muslims making themselves scarce across the pond these days?

Cherokee for a while when the hippies started looking for the meaning in life and got bored with 'being a Jesus ' look alike.

Well they formed bands of Cherokees out of thin air, you can
buy a card and member ship to the fake bands/tribes.

Think and you will have met several people who are 'honorary' or adopted into a tribe.

Even the real Indians warn against getting sucked in by a false Indian.

Even Robert Ghostwolf, is not a real Indian, if my memory serves me right.

I know all these things and have known for years, but never wanted dollars enough to sell my soul to sell a book of lies.

"China is enemy #1."

It kind of feels that way to me too. Here we are beholding to them for everything....probably even toilet paper...these days. And all they see in us is the day they are going to get us. It would not surprise me one bit if they are helping the jihad's.
