Backup electrical systems failed to kick in

A mysterious power failure at Logan Airport that delayed dozens of flights for more than five hours has still not been explained – six days later.

Airport officials insist airline security was not compromised during the blackout Monday at Logan International's Terminal E, but backup electrical systems failed to kick in as they are programmed under such circumstances.

Nine crew missing off Indonesia after pirate attack
14 Jul 2004 15:49:20 GMT

LONDON, July 14 (Reuters) - Nine crew members of a ship were missing after pirates threw them overboard in Indonesian waters, just a few days before military patrols begin in the Strait of Malacca, one of the world's strategic shipping lanes, an ocean crime watchdog said on Wednesday.

The International Maritime Bureau (IMB) said the attack occurred on a tug called the Global Semesta Satu in the Bangka Straits, south of the Strait of Malacca on Sunday.(snip)

Rumsfeld Directs Missile Defense to Operate Oct. 1


By David Ruppe
Global Security Newswire

WASHINGTON — U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has quietly ordered elements of a long-range missile defense system to begin operating on Oct. 1, four weeks before the 2004 presidential election, according to a U.S. military official (see GSN, July 2).

Rumsfeld’s order appears to be a closely held secret. Representatives from the Office of Secretary of Defense, the Missile Defense Agency, and the Strategic Command contacted by Global Security Newswire either insisted that no such order exists, said they were unaware of one, or referred questions to other sections of the Defense Department.

Rumsfeld issued the directive, called a “warning order,” on an undisclosed date following a determination by the Joint Chiefs of Staff on the system’s readiness and need for activation, according to the official, who requested anonymity.

“A message has been sent out into the field to commence initial defensive operations on 1 October of this year,” the official said July 2.

The order schedules initial operation of ground-based interceptors, radar and other equipment a month and a day before the Nov. 2 Election Day, when voters will decide whether to give President George W. Bush a second term. It implements Bush’s less-specific December 2002 classified directive to “begin deployment of a set of missile defense capabilities in 2004.”

In March, U.S. Representative Ellen Tauscher (D-Calif.) accused the administration of timing the initial operations of the system, still under development and missing key technologies, for political purposes. Then-Missile Defense Agency Director Lt. Gen Ronald Kadish disputed that, saying the Sept. 30 goal for preparing the system for initial operations was set for “internal management purposes” and was not politically motivated (see GSN, March 26).

Another agency official said recently that “vulnerability,” not politics is driving the deployment.

“A lot of people think we have missile defense capability now. We don’t.  What this will allow us to do is having a system that we are still testing that we know has some capability — some is better than nothing at this point — to defend ourselves if somebody shoots at us,” said the agency’s Deputy for Test and Assessment Brig. Gen. Mark Shackelford in a June 18 presentation....MORE

I hate hearing about a due date in the future for something as important as missile defense. Better to get it done quietly and announce that is was in service 30 days prior to the announcement. A future date amounts to announcing a hard window of vulnerability. Stupid. That is why such information is classified.

The jihadists view this struggle as a RELIGIOUS war. They view it as Islam v's Christianity. Although we in the west are very careful not to play into this ideology, I think after the next large scale attack there will be a huge backlash against religion.

And not just Islam. I think we will all see our religious freedoms infringed upon.

No. I was not referring to China attacking Taiwan. I was referring to China attacking the USA from the West coast and through Mexico. The rumors of Chinese military training with Mexican military and probing across our border will evidently turn out to have been more than rumors, whether Poohbah's sources agree, or not.

Below are a sampling of points from some of Dimitri's prophecies--Dimitri Duduman:




Longer versions can be found at the TP thread:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1157571/posts?q=1&&page=251




This is brother Duduman's prophecy received April 22, 1996. I prayed, then went to bed. I was still awake, when suddenly I heard a trumpet sound. A voice cried out to me, "Stand!" In my vision, I was in America. I walked out of my home, and began to look for the one who had spoken to me. As I looked, I saw three men dressed alike. Two of the men carried weapons. One of the armed men came to me. "I woke you to show you what is to come," he said. "Come with me." I didn't know where I was being taken, but when we reached a certain place he said "stop here!" A pair of binoculars was handed to me, and I was told to look through them. "Stand there, don't move, and look." he continued. "You will see what they are saying, and what they are preparing for America."

As I was looking, I saw a great light. a dark cloud appeared over it. I saw the president of Russia, a short chubby man, who said he was the president of China, and two others. The last two also said where they were from, but I did not understand. However, I gathered they were part of Russian controlled territory. The men stepped out of the cloud. The Russian president began to speak to the Chinese one. "I will give you the land with all the people, but you must free Taiwan of the Americans. Do not fear, we will attack them from behind."

A voice said to me, "Watch where the Russians penetrate America." I saw these words being written: Alaska; Minnesota; Florida. Then, the man spoke again, "When America goes to war with China, the Russians will strike without warning." The other two presidents spoke, "We, too, will fight for you." Each had a place already planned as a point of attack. All of them shook hands and hugged. Then they all signed a contract. One of them said, "We're sure that Korea and Cuba will be on our side, too. Without a doubt, together, we can destroy America."

The president of Russia began to speak insistently, "Why let ourselves be led by the Americans? Why not rule the world ourselves? They have to be kicked out of Europe, too! Then I could do as I please with Europe!"

America Will Burn

September, 1984
1984 9

I said, "How will America burn?" America is the most powerful country in this world. Why did you bring us here to burn? Why didn't you at least let us die where ALL the Dudumans have died?"

He said, "Remember this, Dumitru. The Russian spies have discovered where the nuclear warehouses are in America. When the Americans will think that it is peace and safety - from the middle of the country, some of the people will start fighting against the government. The government will be busy with internal problems. Then from the ocean, from Cuba, Nicaragua, Mexico,,.." (He told me two other countries, but I didn't remember what they were.) "...they will bomb the nuclear warehouses. When they explode, America will burn!"

"What will you do with the Church of the Lord? How will you save the ones that will turn toward you?" I asked. He said, "Tell them this: how I saved the three young ones from the furnace of fire, and how I saved Daniel in the lions den, is the same way I will save them."

The angel of the Lord also told me, "I have blessed this country because of the Jewish people who are in this country. I have seven million Jews in this country, but they do not want to recognize the Lord. They didn't want to thank God for the blessing they received in this country." "Israel doesn't want to recognize Jesus Christ. They put their faith in the Jewish people in America. But, when America burns, the Lord will raise China, Japan, and other nations to go against the Russians. They will beat the Russians and push them all the way to the gates of Paris.

Over there they will make a treaty, and appoint the Russians as their leaders. They will then unite against Israel." "When Israel realizes she does not have the strength of America behind her, she will be frightened. That's when she will turn to the Messiah for deliverance. That's when the Messiah will come. Then, the church will meet Jesus in the air, and he will bring them back with Him to the Mount of Olives. At that time, the battle of Armageddon will be fought."

When I heard all of this I said, "if you are truly the angel of the Lord, and everything you have told me is true, then all you have said must be written in the Bible." He said, "Tell everyone to read from Jeremiah 51:8-15, Revelation chapter 18, and Zechariah chapter 14, where Christ fights against those who possess the earth. After His victory," the angel said, "there will be one flock and one Shepherd. There will be no need for light. The Lamb of God will be the Light. There will be no sickness, no tears, and no deaths. There will only be eternal joy and God will be the ruler. There will be only one language. Only one song. And no need for a translator! ....

And, Dumitru," he continued, "a word of warning. If you keep anything from the American people that you are told, I will punish you severely." "How will I know that this is for real -that it will really happen?" I asked. "As a sign that I have spoken to you, tomorrow before you wake, I will send someone to bring you a bed, and at noon I will send you a car and a bucket of honey. After which I will send someone to pay your rent." (See chapter 10, "THROUGH THE FIRE WITHOUT BURNING.") Then the angel left.




Excerpt from a longer post on the TP thread:

Israel doesn´t recognize the Messiah because they place their trust on the power of the Jews in America. When God will hit America, all the nations will be terrified. God will raise up China, Japan, and many other nations, and they will beat the Russians. They will push them back to the gates of Paris. There they will make a peace treaty, but they will make the Russians their leader. All the nations with the Russians as their leader, will go against Israel. It´s not that they want to; God makes them.

Israel doesn´t have the help of the Jews in America anymore. In their terror, when they see what is coming, they call upon the Messiah. The Messiah will come to help Israel. Then the Church of God will meet him in the clouds." (1 Thes 4:16)

I believe the puppet masters are setting up Islam and the Jihadi's to infuriate the world against religion in general and particularly against Christianity.

And, of course to remove all religion but worshipping the AntiChrist from the planet in due course.

War train: Missiles, warheads for Syria in N. Korean rail blast


Special to World Tribune.com
EAST-ASIA-INTEL.COM
Monday, June 14, 2004

(excerpted)

...The sources said North Korea had completed work on some of the missiles before the catastrophic train explosion in North Korea. But the train that exploded did not contain biological or chemical weapons agents, they said. Instead, they said the train contained Scud D missiles, warheads and fuel propellants.

Although North Korea has maintained official silence about the April 22 rail blast in a North Korean town near the Chinese border, newspapers in South Korea continue to publish reports about the incident, Middle East Newsline reported.

On Thursday, the opposition Future Korea weekly quoted an anonymous North Korean expert who said Syria has ordered a "large number" of Scud missiles with biological and chemical warheads. The North Korean said the Scud engines were produced at the so-called "January 8 Factory" in Kaechon while the missiles were assembled in the Shin-eum-ri facility in Pyongyang.

The newspaper quoted the North Korean as saying that the BW and CW warheads were assembled at the Namheung Chemical Factory and were onboard the train when it exploded in what was described as an accident. He said the casing of the missiles were produced at Factory No. 26 in Kanggye.

"These details on North Korean WMD trafficking have been of great interest because the U.S. government is expected to take extraordinary measures against North Korea over the next few months," the newspaper said.

"There is considerable evidence that North Korea had completed BW and CW warhead components for shipment to Syria in May," an Asian intelligence source who monitors North Korea said. "The shipment was to have been the first of several batches of missile and nonconventional warhead components."

The train blast on April 22 in the Ryongchon station in North Korea's North Pyongan province killed scores of people, including at least 10 Syrian technicians, the sources said. They said the Syrians aboard the trainload of missiles and warhead components were members of the state-owned Center for Scientific Research and Studies, which helps administer Syria's nonconventional weapons program...

http://216.26.163.62/2004/me_syria_06_13.html

I have long believed the stories of ties between NK and Syria, but this is the first I recall of hearing that 10 Syrian techs were killed in the blast. I found several other articles on Google that mentioned it as well.

IIRC, there was a report within days that stated the first people on the scene were wearing protective gear, and removed bodies from the wreck that were also wearing protective gear. They were also said to have removed "equipment".

Yes, one of the articles I just read said that the bodies were removed surreptitiously when a Syrian relief effort was allowed into the area.

Sorry I'm just now bringing this up, but I'm digging around looking for solid mention of ties between all our enemies. An expansion on the Axis of Evil, if you will.

I understand fully. It's one of the reasons that I believe a "Naval Blockade" is not in the works. NK has carte blanche access to the ME through China via the railway system.

Al-Zarqawi Claims Attack on Iraq Leader

6 minutes ago

By NADIA ABOU EL-MAGD, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Al-Qaida-linked militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi issued a Web site statement Wednesday claiming responsibility for an attack on a home used by Iraq (news - web sites)'s interim prime minister.


The statement, posted on a site known for such claims, promised to pursue Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, who is seen by Iraq's insurgents as a collaborator with President Bush (news - web sites) and the 160,000 foreign troops in Iraq.


"We would like to break the bad news to you — Allawi — that if the death rockets have missed you ... our quiver, thank God, is full of death arrows," said the statement, which carried al-Zarqawi's signature.
