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!

This EOM guy is one mentally unstable lunatic.
Doesn't he realize that every time he predicts an attack and nothing happens, he makes a fool of himself???
I guess he is just hoping that he gets it right one time.
IMHO, you just don't know with this guy.

Diamonds Are For Terrorists
http://frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=14121
The US is stepping up its anti-terrorist efforts in west Africa amid continuing controversy over alleged links between al-Qaeda and the smuggling of Sierra Leonean diamonds through Liberia.

Dirty diamonds
By Michael Barone
What do Jesse Jackson, Pat Robertson, and al Qaeda have in common?
The answer is: They all have been associated with the bloody Liberian dictator Charles Taylor.
The al Qaeda connection is the one that has most recently come to light. In a November 2 Washington Post article, Douglas Farah reported that "the terrorist network led by Osama bin Laden has reaped millions of dollars in the past three years from the illicit sale of diamonds mined by rebels in Sierra Leone." Al Qaeda has been buying the diamonds at below-market rates in Africa and selling them for higher prices in Europe. Diamonds are easy to transport and smuggle, and diamond transactions are hard to trace; al Qaeda evidently increased its purchases in July, presumably in anticipation of its bank accounts being frozen. The diamonds are mined in Sierra Leone by the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) rebels, who famously hacked off the arms and legs of hundreds of people and built up an army of boys. Since 1998, the diamonds have been sold for cash in Liberia to al Qaeda agents by the RUF's diamond dealer, alleged to be a Libyan-trained Senegalese rebel. There is big money here: A United Nations panel estimated RUF diamond sales in 1999 at $75 million. Farah writes that Taylor receives a commission on each sale in Liberia; Taylor has repeatedly denied this.

The biggest problem with the "unauthorized" aircraft was that there was apparently not enough time to respond to it. Had it been goblins, they very well could have done whatever it was they set out to do.

I think we would have a civil war before it came down to that.

Distinct possibility. We are extremely polarized. If something was to happen to our President, what would our reaction be to those that would dance in the streets?
Look at the protesting that occurred during President Reagan's funeral procession.
I don't want to consider it.

All they have to do is remember back a little ways to when a Marine from L.A. (originally Mexico) was killed during the war. They were going to symbolically give him citizenship since he died for this country.

Well, I agree... I don't put any faith in him but for some reason I have never been willing to write him off fully. It's something to watch, if nothing else. Thanks for the link.
To: Mossad1967
What gets me is that there are so many different posts know that come back to around the 11th or 15th. Did you see SP's article...the 11th? EOM...The 11th. Now the sudden increase in government warnings and reports that Security has visably increased in NYC again. Kind of worrys me a bit.
